The Spirit Hunter System

Mature Preparation

"Are you sure you're going to tackle all this alone, Mr Owl?"

Carole, who had been on a mission with Adam, was convinced of the masked young man's abilities. It's just, there's a little doubt. He did not want to see that kind and generous figure die just from having to carry out the mission himself.

Not to mention, Carole also began to understand that the work she received had so many wages, not including bonuses and others were open for no reason.

It felt like they were becoming mercenaries who were at the border of the battlefield. They walk on a rope. Under them, there was a dark and deep abyss.

They walk the boundaries of life and death.

Not only Carole, the mission that Adam received made the other members also feel quite hesitant.

"Yes, I'll do it myself."

Adam looked calm. Sensing the feeling of depression around him, the young man chuckled.

"You don't have to worry. Although occasionally going on dangerous missions, such a thing does not necessarily happen once a month. Let's just say I'm pretty unlucky for getting involved with that damned game.

I'm going home today. I want to prepare myself two to three days."

"But, that's when—"

"Confirm, James. Nothing's gonna happen. There's no way 'He' has time every night to hunt.

Because the murder happened last night, more precisely through midnight. Most likely 'She' will be back hunting the night, three days later."

Adam interrupted James' words. Although it was only an estimate, the young man really had to return to pick up some items such as nutrition pills, healing pills, and talismans. Not only that, he had to prepare weapons and prepare himself better.

'Even a lion must hunt a rabbit with all his energy.'

Remembering that sentence, Adam had no intention of messing around. Not to mention, it's about his own life.

No matter how strong the opponent was, the young man had to prepare himself. Whether he will win or lose, the most important thing is to fight all his strength.

"You ... won't escape, will you?"

Hearing James' silly question, Adam shook his head lightly.

"I actually want to escape. But since it was already involved, I couldn't escape anymore. So you can calm down."

"Really?" James was a little worried.

"Yes. Besides, I don't want to be a fugitive either." Adam said in a half-joking tone.

Seeing that Adam could look carefree, the others looked quite relieved. Maybe they think that the problem is not as big as they imagined.

"Then, as the leader, I give you permission not to come for 3 days. But ..."

"What's wrong?" ask Adam.

"Make sure to come back as soon as possible."

Hearing that, Adam raised the corner of his lips.

"I'm definitely not going to run."

***

Three days later.

Adam was wearing his black suit. This time he made as many talismans as he could in that time. The young man also realized something very important.

Adam almost forgot that he had a bag item from System.

Since he was in contact with Lei Fan and Lei Na where the items they both brought were unable to fit into the item bag due to the lack of quality, Adam almost forgot about that important thing.

Even though he himself stored some items in his item bag.

Actually in addition to his clothes and bokken, Adam can actually carry all the important items. Only, he chose to wait for three days.

Besides not wanting to wait too long, Adam spent his time accompanying Bella and Jennifer. He said everything truthfully, but also continued to assure that his life was in no danger at all.

"Do you really have to go, Brother Adam?"

Looking at Bella who was escorting him with a depressed expression, Adam only let out a long sigh before gently hugging the girl's body.

"I have to go. Rest assured ... everything will be fine," Adam said before gently tucking the girl's lips.

"I'm leaving, honey."

"En."

Bella nodded with a red face. Although embarrassed, the girl now returned Adam's embrace. He kept staring at his lover without hiding.

The girl continued to pray that things would go smoothly so that Adam could return soon.

***

Some then.

Adam finally arrived at the headquarters of the members of the Mystery Department of the B branch. Entering the colonial-style house, he was surprised to see the figure of James who immediately approached him.

"Finally you're coming, Mr Owl!"

"What's wrong?" ask Adam.

"A man named Thomas comes to this place every day to wait for you."

"Don't I just go three days?"

"Yes ... I mean when you left, he came in during the day and waited until evening before coming home!"

"Now has he come?" Adam tilted his head.

"Yes." Yeah." James nodded. "Mr Thomas comes every morning. Not coming home until evening."

"Take me to see him."

"You didn't go up to the room first?"

"We'll meet the client first."

Hearing Adam who looked relaxed, James became quite relieved.

Adam then follows James into the backyard. Because of waiting too long and feeling bad when seen by other clients, James told Thomas to wait in the lounge at the back of the house.

There the man could see some flowers and greenery. At the very least, it made the mood become fresher and somewhat lighter.

Arriving in the lounge, Adam saw the figure of Thomas sitting on the sofa with an untouched cup of tea at a table not far from him. The man sat down daydreaming and allowed the tea to cool down without drinking it.

Seeing the previously so handsome man become disheveled, Adam shook his head lightly.

"You look a mess, Mr. Thomas."

Hearing Adam's voice, the dreamy Thomas suddenly came to a realization. Looking towards the masked young man, he looked angry as well as happy.

"Why did you just show up, Mr Owl! Why is! Kevin's life is in danger every night! I—"

"Enough, Mr. Thomas. You are not my boss or boss. Isn't Kevin okay? Were there any other attacks in these three days?"

"That's ... There's no." Thomas looked depressed.

"Please have Douglas make some more tea, Chief. Add mint to keep it a little fresh and soothing."

Adam said in a relaxed tone.

Hearing Adam's words, James nodded his head before turning away.

"Mr Thomas, please sit back."

Adam said with a calm expression before sitting down to the chair opposite Thomas' position. He then looked at the face of that actually kind man.

Messy hair, oily and pale skin, black eye bags, whiskers and beards that grow somewhat messy. One word to describe it ...

Messed up.

Thomas clearly felt depressed physically and mentally. Adam let out a long sigh, feeling pity when he saw her.

"Before I start talking, do you want to ask me something?"

"Where have you been for these three days?"

"Home. Spending time with my girlfriend, comforting and reassuring that I will be fine. Of course ... prepare yourself."

"Prepare yourself?" asked Thomas with a dazed expression.

"Yes." Yeah."

"For what?"

"Don't I tell you before? Your life and your wife are in no danger at all. That's because I'm a 'participant' in this game. Replacing the two of you in the role of 'guardian' for Kevin.

Why are you so depressed? Do you love Kevin too much?

All you need to do now is prepare yourself for the worst. Chances are that me and Kevin will fail in this game."

"Can't! Kevin is my only son! He is the only successor for me!"

"Aren't you—"

"I can't do it! I have been suffering from 'the disease' since two years ago!

Kevin is my only hope! Mr. Owl .. No matter how much money you ask, please save my son!"

"Stupid." Adam said coldly.

"What?" Thomas looked dazed.

"I'm already involved. Without you asking and asking for anything, I'd have to."

Adam smiled behind his mask. Taking a deep breath then exhaling slowly, he then said nonchalantly.

"After receiving the mission .. it's my responsibility."
