Chapter 28: Memory (1/2)
Meanwhile, at the same location where Shella and Eric died, five people appeared. They wore the same tight black suit, covering every part of their body other than their eyes.
As soon as they found two cracked skeletons, the middle one raised his hand. ”Investigate the body.”
The other four disappeared. Two of them began looking for any clue about the skeletons while taking out blood samples from the ground, whereas the other two checked the two skeletons. With the present technology, they should be able to get enough information from the blood test even if the blood dried up.
Next to the tree was a small bracelet with blood smearing on it. It was none other than the Skylink that the skeleton had.
”I have found the Skylink. We need to confirm the serial number.”
The one, who commanded them earlier, took a step forward as he raised his hand, activating the Skylink, which happened to be the same bracelet.
It projected a blue skin to which the man typed a few things before getting his hand close to the Skylink.
Suddenly, the screen changed, turning into an ID Card.
ID: 1534197856371
Name: Shella Alberona
Status: Normal
”It's confirmed. She is the one we are searching for.” The captain nodded before turning to the other skeleton. ”That means the skeleton belongs to the male. They are the useless couple that the chairman wishes to remove.”
”Still, we can't really get any information with all this evidence. Everything has been eaten, leaving only blood and broken skeletons. There is no artificial wound in the bone, so we don't know what they experienced before dying from a beast.” The man presenting the bracelet sighed in defeat.
”There are only two possibilities. According to Young Master Laust, he asked them to follow Theodore Griffith. Assuming that the latter killed them and left them here, he might be more dangerous than we expected. The chairman needs to know this.”
”How about the second possibility?”
”He is not involved at all. A beast killed them when they followed him. Considering Eric Lautre was a Level 12 and Shella Alberona was a Level 9, it would be tough to fight in this place. They would constantly face Level 10-15 monsters.” The captain paused for a moment before his tone turned grim. ”But…”
His subordinates stopped what they were doing, listening to his words.
”Either way, they were following Theodore Griffith. Calculating the direction and range, his original plan should be the forest beyond the slope where many Level 20monsters reside. This means that our information is not accurate anymore.”
The subordinates drew a gasp as they quickly checked Theo's level again in their information. He was only a mere trashy level 7. With him going to that place alone, he needed to be at least Level 20 if not 25.
To think their data was not this accurate. If the chairman knew, he would have punished them.
”Captain. What should we do?”
”First. From the current information, we can safely assume that he came here during the public holiday, so we had no information about his current position.”
”How about we go to the Temples, Captain? The academy allows the first-year students to register themselves in the Temples, so he must be there.”
The captain thought for a moment. ”The Temples, huh. The first-year students are forbidden to register there because the academy wants them to gain enough experience during their first year to make sure they don't regret walking on this path. However, many of them have begun killing the monsters here, so it's also the way for the academy to measure the talented one. This proves the importance of the temples…”
After contemplating for a while, he gave the confirmation, and the group quickly left the scene. They didn't forget to bring all the samples they could get for identification.
Little did they know, someone was watching them this whole time.
