A Murder Investigation 2

Rainn is planning to go straight home, change, and then do his Main Quest. That is investigating the murder of nobles. Rainn thought the sooner the quest was completed the better.

But his plan couldn't go smoothly because in the corridor he was intercepted by the short girl. But she is not alone. This time she took Vyra with her.

Vyra was next to him with a face that seemed reluctant to be there. Rainn who didn't care about their presence immediately walked past the girl. But the girl immediately stood up to stop him.

"Get out of the way," Rainn said.

"I want to show that what I said yesterday is true," said the girl. Staring at Rainn with a tilted head.

Rainn sighed, "Listen, I don't care whether what you said yesterday is true or not."

"But you looked down on me yesterday!"

Rainn turned his gaze towards Vyra who just stood staring at them, "Do something."

Vyra grimaced at Rainn with a feeling of hesitation. Then he walked over and grabbed the girl's shoulder.

"Amia, you can't force someone who won't join," said Vyra.

Rainn looked at the girl named Amia, 'Finally.'

"He should join. Because he's also a supernatural hunter, right?" Amia said to Vyra.

"But he won't," replied Vyra.

Amia looked back at Rainn with a gaze full of determination. Rainn sighed because he knew this wasn't over yet. Surely Vyra had told him that he was a supernatural hunter.

"I can pay you if you want to join," Vyra widened her eyes. She couldn't believe Amia said that. Does she think a person can be bought with money?

Vyra immediately looked at Rainn to apologize for her friend's behavior.

But, unexpectedly, Rainn seemed to be thinking about it.

"How much?" Asked Rain.

Amia smirked, she knew Rainn would be interested. "How much do you want?"

Rainn tilted his head. He gave a faint smile, "You want to pay me as much as I want?"

"Don't worry. I have a lot of money," Amia said while crossing her arms.

Rainn was annoyed with her arrogant attitude. But still, if she offered her money then Amia definitely came from a rich family and she said that Rainn would be paid for just joining her ridiculous club.

Rainn can earn money the easy way. Although he didn't know if he would be of much help or not. Rainn will accept his offer.

"How about... 10,000 Ryo?" Asked Rain. He planned to ask for what he thought was a lot in the first place. After that, if Amia refuses she can negotiate for a price she can accept.

But, Amia's answer was beyond his expectation.

"Deal."

Rain's eyes widened. Even Amia didn't seem to have a hard time answering that. She didn't think much of it. Vyra sighed. Now there was nothing she could do anymore.

"Are you sure?" Rainn asked once more to be sure.

Amia nodded firmly. "So you want to join?"

"Hell yeah!" Rainn answered with a big smile.

"Then you come with us now."

"Ah, I'm sorry. For now, I can't. I'm very busy. I have important business to attend to." Rainn explained.

Amia looks disappointed, "What business?"

"Personal business. Very important. I promise I'll go straight to your room tomorrow. But for now, I really can't."

Rainn's tone of voice when talking to Amia had now changed to a little friendlier than before.

"Okay. I'll keep your promise for tomorrow."

"Of course."

After that Rainn immediately walked past them. Along the way, Rainn couldn't help but smile. Maybe for Amia, the 10,000 Ryo was not a significant amount because she was already coming from a rich family. But for Rainn who lives a poor life, that amount can give him the luxury.

"Hehehe..." Rainn couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.

When he arrived at his house, Rainn immediately changed clothes and opened his stats window to check if there was the latest update of the Main Quest. Rainn had gotten used to this. If he wanted something from Systema, he just had to think about it and whatever it was would appear.

[ Main Quest: Investigate a murder case ]

[ Clue discovered: 3 ( 1st clue: the blood of the body was sucked dry. Seems to be the cause of death ), ( 2nd clue: two-hole wounds ), ( 3rd clue: The man was from a noble House called House Saniar ) ]

[ Time Limit: 4 days ]

Rainn started his thinking process. The first thing he had to pay attention to was the condition of the blood that was sucked out and the two-bite holes. No other traces were seen at the scene and that was very strange.

Then Rainn remembered about the Jorogumo he faced yesterday. He said that there have been many supernatural creatures that have entered the city and disguised themselves as humans.

Could it be that this murder was carried out by a supernatural creature in disguise?

The possibility is very big. So now what should he do?

[ Main Quest update! ]

"Oh!" Just as he was feeling confused, transparent writing appeared before his eyes.

[ Go to the Arkan Mall ]

This power gave him everything to do. Rainn just had to obey him and he don't need to think too hard.

As soon as he saw the message, Rainn came out of his house with makeshift clothes. After all, he wanted to investigate a murder, not a walk.

'You can meditate while walking. You know that?' Tut's voice suddenly heard in his head again.

'Is that true?' asked Rain.

'Of course. The method is the same as when you meditate normally.'

"Hmm." Rain nodded his head. 'Okay.'

Rainn also meditated on the metro train. While everyone was busy with their cell phones, reading books, or talking to friends, Rainn closed his eyes and started meditating. He had to do a lot of practice if he wanted to get better fast.

Mall Arkan is the largest shopping center in the city of Al'Modred. The mall is located in the 1st district. The location is close to the king's palace, The Paenyr Palace. From here the shape of the palace can be seen partly because the rest is covered by high-rise buildings.

Rainn goes inside the Mall. He looked left and right for something. But what he sees are only people enjoying their time.

Rainn walked around the mall for a few minutes but he still didn't find anything.

Suddenly, from in front of him, a man who was on the phone bumped into his shoulder. The man fell and his cell phone slipped from his hand.

Rainn just looked at him blankly.

"Are you blind?!" Asked the man. With angry voices.

Rainn shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry."

Even though, Rainn knew who is wrong in this situation was the man. Rainn chose to apologize first to avoid a more troublesome situation.

The man stood up and took out his cell phone. He walked towards Rainn.

"You see this?!" The man showed his cracked cellphone in front of Rainn's face.

"Yeah, I see it," Rainn replied, dryly.

The man gritted his teeth, "We gonna have some problem here."

Rainn sighed. Why is he always getting into trouble like this?
