I bit my lower lip rather hard. Half annoyed, half regretful.Indeed, Eva had previously warned about the appearance of an extra act, and the possibility of a monster attack. But, I thought that it was only limited to zombies, not other monstersNot like the one I was facing now. Because now, just as I was about to step into the house and turn the door knob, my steps had to stop in front of the porch because two greenish slime figures were bouncing in front of me.No, no, no. Not just two, but three, four, five. Ambushing me from all directions.I've seen these, not only in games and films, but also in souvenir shops. They're often played with by small children, and even eaten by some with slightly retarded brains.But, of course, they would never think that the slime would become this big; alive; and come at them with murderous intensity.I looked around and held a vigilant stance. The last monster I fought had unexpected movements and abilities. If zombies, which are usually synonym

"I said you saw it wrong," I insisted. Although I looked calm, my mind was in turmoil.Of course, this wasn't my first time at the police station. The first time was when I had to see Shane. It wasn't an experience I remembered. I still remember how intense it was, even chatting here. Even then I was just a visitor, but now I'm being brought in as a suspect.My hands were handcuffed to the table, and Detective Werner, the man who had prejudged me at school, was sitting in front with a meaningful grin. "Look at you. Don't you realise your position? You've been cornered, and you can still make excuses?""I don't know what you mean--"That's when the detective handed me a mobile phone displaying a video.The video of my fight with the slimes earlier. It didn't show the slimes (as Eva said, the eyes of ordinary people wouldn't be able to catch it. It seemed to apply to the camera as well).But, it captured the image of me suddenly disappearing and bringing fire out of nothing like an unp

"What?""There are no anomalies like you said," Amy said indifferently. The woman downed her half-empty coffee cup. "I mean, anomalies?""Do you think this is all a joke?"Amy shrugged. "Life is a joke, isn't it?" She frowned when I didn't break eye contact, then sighed. "Everyone takes this job as seriously as you do, okay. And, no. These are all preliminary test results.""So what does it say?""Do I have to repeat it ten times?" snapped Amy, in a more sarcastic tone this time. "I don't think so, really. If you want to go through a more intensive examination, I can refer you to the city centre's more adequate research agency. That is, if they believe your alibi.""What does 'if they believe' mean."Amy frowned, again. "You're sure you're not drunk, right?"I growled, stomped my feet repeatedly, and prepared to leave. What a bunch of corrupt people who like to manipulate facts.Were they this pathetic to begin with? Were they already beyond help.I went to the interrogation room agai

Right from the start, it was a mess.And I'm starting to not care.What? You think, when I leaked almost everything to Detective Werner, I had a clever scheme that went one step further?Yes, and no.I might use Detective Werner to find Michael for me, but then what?His existence can't even be controlled by someone like Eva, what can an ordinary cop do?And as for Eva, I had considered it too. In the last fight, I think she was just holding back.I mean, okay, I'm nothing compared to the two of them (Michael and Eva), but at the very least, the person who defeated you in less than five seconds must be a very dangerous person..., right?My original plan was to investigate Michael's whereabouts first, cut ties with Elena's people, and cooperate fully with Eva.That sounded brilliant.I hate to admit it, but Eva is the equivalent of an army. No matter how many opponents I had, if Eva was by my side, I would most likely win.But, I ended up thinking it was stupid. Because even though Eva

I was turning the door knob and was already anticipating another surprise attack.My eyes darted behind me to see who might be the troublemaker now. Because if there was, he'd better show up or he'd really ruin my night.The last time I looked at my watch, the short hand was already showing eleven o'clock. Normally, I'd have gone to bed an hour earlier.But, because of an oversight, and a legal regulation that was rigged as well, I had to stay up like this.Yes... the rigged laws. If the tension of this whole situation starts to drop, maybe I'll teach Detective Werner a... lesson.Not the harmful kind of revenge. I can see that he's an honest and firm law enforcer (and because of that firmness, I'm sure one or two suspects ended up confessing before even getting to the interrogation room), but I think that sometimes there's a line that shouldn't be crossed, and everyone should start respecting that line.Ah... what the hell was I thinking. It must all be because of the [Logical Reasoni

I chose to let it pass until it ended on its own.I gulped. I had thought that this relationship ended when they broke up with me during these weeks, so what was she trying to do now?Could it be that one of them saw me caught red-handed by Detective Werner and concluded that I was someone who couldn't be trusted with responsibility, and wanted to collect a fine?Or did they know my intention to spill the beans, and thought to get rid of me?Okay.I know my mind has been very paranoid lately, but it's certainly a plausible option.Michael told them everything about my betrayal, and they decided that I had to go.It makes even more sense that David's death was part of their plan.They made it an ultimatum of sorts.It was as if they were saying, "It's your turn next!"My phone vibrated again.[Elena is calling...]I gulped and started to feel uncomfortable.Why isn't Eva back yet, anyway? How many hours has she been in the bathroom?And why did it get so hot in here?The third call cam

"If there's anyone in this town who could be called "superhuman," it's probably Jason."I looked right at the Class Rep to confirm what he had said. "Jackson?""Jason. Without the K. I' thought you know him. His name is well-know throuughout the city.”I nodded my head. It seemed possible that this was another elaborate fraud. A rumor about someone that was not true or was exaggerated. But because time was running out, I had to take advantage of every chance that came my way. "Tell me."I think the Class Rep will do it even if I don't ask. Look at how happy he was when he opened his mouth!“First, he has a big body. Not the big fat kind, but the well-balanced and athletic kind. He doesn't even look like a high school student. He's even bigger than Mr. Henderson. But he moves with surprising dexterity. He has sharp eyes and. Because of this, the school has put its faith in him to win many athletic competitions.""That wasn't the qualification I was looking for." Sigh! I was too optimis

"You're the only one I can ask for . You're the one who knows Jason best."Carl scratched his head and looked like he didn't want to be there. "You're putting me in a difficult position, Harry. You know how Jason is."I know.He was a living beast. The raw strength of two adults, the agility of an athlete, and the sharp instincts of a fighter. And it's all backed up with uncontrollable emotions.One wrong word and your life is no more.And "lucky for me," I was put in a group with him to work on the final project. "It's also for his own good; he'll get it." Jason did have three friends, or maybe he saw them more as his subordinates, but I could only count on Carl.We've known each other since we were in grade school. Our homes are next to each other. Even though our relationship has been a little rocky lately, I'm glad that he hasn't changed too much in his attitude."I'll do what I can."I took a deep breath of relief. I said, "That's my friend!" as I tried to give him a light punch
