Even after that one night without sleep, Arifin hasn’t tired yet. He is still taking his time to do his daily training regime.After all, he has consumed his daily soul crystal. It’s a daily consumption to increase his limit potential, but also refreshes him psychologically.He sees the commotion as he passes the gate while running around the housing complex. But he just ignores them. Those toxic people don’t dare to force their way, because the two guards watching the gate are holding assault rifles.All they can do is plead for a chance to have a meeting with anyone who has the authority in that place.“Please, there are old men and women here. Let me talk with your leader or chief. Our place in Andalas University had been raided by the monsters,” says Jack impatiently.One of the guards glances behind, and sees Arifin passing them again. He is not too far, and clearly he can hear Jack’s pleading.“You’ve been asking the same thing for more than 15 minutes, and the leader here has h
The guards open the hoover fence of the gate for them. Arifin sees the hopeless in those people’s faces.However, something funny crosses his mind. Instead of pity, he begins to think about playing with their hope.“Now I’m asking all of you! Any of you, who believes has been acting so selfish this last month, raise your hand. Just raise your hand, and ignore others like how you usually do. If any of you says a word, I’ll tell my friends to shoot you all.”They start looking at each other first. One by one starts raising their hand with an unsure gesture, seeming to understand Arifin’s point by talking about being selfish.Oddly enough, out of the 23 people that have been marked as targets by Arifin’s system, only 7 women are raising their hands. The other targets look reluctant to admit it.Some of them are still showing the guilt in their face. Except for Jack, who is always looking so full of himself, standing by raising his chin up with his smug face. He really thinks he has never
Arifin goes back inside the house through the back door. As he gets out of the hallway leading to the living room, he finds some people having a serious discussion.There’s also Mr. Natsir there with the others. And it seems like Mr. Natsir is now explaining something to them.His coming stops Mr. Natsir’s words midway. It attracts their attention. And clearly they see the frustration in Arifin’s face.“Professor! Did they take Grace too?” Arifin inquires impatiently.Prof. Irwan just nods weakly.“How? They shouldn’t be able to detect her?” continues Arifin.“Remember the guy you tried to kill earlier at the gate?” Henry interferes to steal Arifin’s attention.“That skinny man? What about him?”“Right before those mercenaries left, he pointed out about her when she was mingling with the other normal people.”“That damn fucker!” grumbles Arifin, clenching the fists with a mad face.It only makes his mind so chaotic. Either to help Grace or to kill that man, he has the same urge to do
Soon after they take the dead body out of Andini’s room, they bring Grace inside. Andini is so shocked, because this is the first time they bring a female in. “Hi!” Grace greets awkwardly. But Andini’s face only becomes even madder. Not only because it’s a female sacrifice, but also a young one that still looks so fresh as a teenager as her. “Are you out of your mind? Take her out of here!!” Those people just close the door without saying anything. Andini can’t approach the door, not wanting to get too close to the girl she just met. “Hey, what’s wrong?” asks Grace. Only then Andini notices that Grace is the girl next door who has been trying to invite her to a conversation. “You?” “Yes, I’m the girl from the next door. My name is Grace. What’s your name?” “You better not say anything anymore, and breathe as lowly as possible.” “Eh? Why?” Andini immediately turns away and covers his body with the blanket. Grace is just silent, not wanting to force her way too far. Oddly, af
In fact, Dr. Cohen is already inside that office. He deliberately talks in whispers not wanting Andini to hear him.He approaches Andini stealthy from behind by holding his breath. As soon as he gets closer, he opens his jaws like he is going to bite her from behind.His mouth even turns into the mouth of a bat. His canines grow longer like a bat’s canines. He bites Andini in the back of her neck, and holds her shoulder so that she does not retaliate.“Aakh!”Andini can only react shortly to the pain. Because soon, she is losing her ability to stay conscious.Dr. Cohen keeps the canines planted inside Andini’s flesh for a few moments. He sucks a bit of her blood, just a little for him to corrupt. Soon after that, he lets the blood get in the back and then lets her free.As soon as he finishes with his thing, Andini immediately regains her ability to move. She distances herself quite far away, and then curls up in one corner of the room.She is shaking in terror. One hand is holding bo
Not knowing any place to go, he just bets his luck asking those youngsters to accept him. And of course, he doesn’t expect that he would be able to act like someone with authority for this one.“Can I stay with you guys? In your place. I no longer have any place to go.”“Of course!” replies Andrew immediately as he puts his arm around Harun’s shoulder, and escorts him with so much respect. “Just adding one or two more people is still safe I guess, especially for someone like you.”The middle-aged man on the ground immediately pleads desperately. “Hey! If you want to leave, untie me first!”Hannah and Ronald look behind. But Andrew just keeps walking, escorting Prof. Harun to where he parked the truck.“Hey, Andrew! What are we going to do to this man?” asks Ronald.“You are already an adult. Don’t always ask me what to do for every single thing in your life,” replies Andrew.Ronald looks at Hannah. And their faces are slowly showered by excitement. They take those words as “do as you
With his current strength which has surpassed the maximum strength of a normal human, cutting one big guys’ hand is not a difficult feat for Arifin. It doesn’t matter if that hand is burning or not. Andrew falls off to the back, and is immediately caught by Ronald from behind. The big dude groans in pain with his powerful and low tone voice, but he can’t utter a word despite the fact he wants to curse so badly. He is chocked by the pain that he keeps spewing his saliva every time he tries to say something bad. “Man! You better use your burning hand to close the wound. Or else, you are going to die by blood loss,” says Ronald. Andrew’s face is so burning red. But oddly, he finds it hard to heat his left hand. The pain he feels is so unbearable that he can’t control himself that well. “I…, I can’t!” “It’s better for you to not close that wound yet,” says Arifin. It shakes those two’s attention. The next second they avert their attention back to Arifin, they find Arifin is holding
That one guard is still having trouble recovering his balance. Meanwhile, a woman's voice keeps giving orders from the communication device attached to his ear.[Don’t let them leave! We don’t want them to tell about this place to anyone else]“It’s not going to be easy to capture them,” replies the guard while holding the mic in his right cheek. “You should’ve already seen what that girl is capable of.”[Exterminate them!]The guard tries his best to get up. He looks up to the second floor balcony, and sees the two guards up there are already getting back to their feet, albeit by holding the fence.“Hey, get down here! We need to look for those kids!”Those two jumps down. But they immediately lose their balance as soon as they land. But the one guard who received
