Chapter 25 - 2.8

Ryse opened his eyes blankly staring at the ceiling, The mirror on his right reflected him and the dressing room. Under the lights the mirror shone slightly and reflected the door that opened slowly and quietly. Ryse's mind was muddled he couldn't focus, there were voices in his head, Three different voices they whispered time and time again sometimes they mixed. He couldn't catch any of them, he only knew they were there.

Even with his muddled mind he caught a glint of metal and his mind blared with alarms. At the last second he quickly slipped out of the arm-less chair. He felt his cheek burn, The pain awoke his mind with a sudden clarity. He found a strange woman slashing down the knife in her hand down towards him again. She seemed professional with how she handled the knife in her hands.

"Tsk" She clicked her tongue, "Slippery snake!"

He dodged again as fast as this body allowed him and felt the searing pain on his left arm. The alarm of an outsider rang in his mind again the countdown had reached under one hour. Ryse was stuck dodging, This woman did not give him time to pick himself up she brought down the knife again and again. Ryse cursed in his mind this world was not magical he could not use spirit energy.

"Stop moving already and let me just get done with you" She said. Ryse refused to comment focusing on dodging the incoming attacks.

When he noticed the situation was getting worse he raised his hand taking the risk. To his surprise the spirit energy actually formed, Clenching his hand in a fist he struck sideways at the oncoming knife successfully throwing it away and disarming the woman. He held her arm and threw her down using his knee to turn her immobile.

"What the-!! Fudge this is not as i was informed!"

At the very second the main system sent a prompt again along with a beam of light Ryse grimaced as the woman screamed.

[OUTSIDER CAPTURED INITIATING SYSTEM ELIMINATION. ELIMINATION 1%....14%.....35%.....68%...92%....100%. SYSTEM ELIMINATION COMPLETE. MISSIONER REQUESTED TO ELIMINATE OUTSIDER IMMEDIATELY]

He did not need the system to tell him what to to do because the woman was turning into the 'infected' he grabbed the same knife the woman was using and coated it with spirit energy quickly stabbing her heart and watched as she stopped breathing.

What happened next was like a cliche scene from a movie. The door slammed open and the people who came in started screaming.

"AH! MURDERER!!!" That was probably what they were screaming because that seemed more likely to fit the current situation.

The scene where the murderer failed to escape before the arrival of people from one of those serial killer movie. What Ryse couldn't understand the most was why these people could not recognize him. His answer came in the form of a system prompt.

[TO PROVIDE EASE IN THE TASK THE MISSIONER IS CURRENTLY BEING SHIELDED TO SHOW DIFFERENT FEATURES FROM THE MAIN MISSIONER FEATURES OF THE CURRENT WORLD]

'Okay?'

----------------------

Maria had spent a several minutes looking for that woman. The woman who was a trained assassin, She needed her for her plan. She took advantage of her and provided her what information she needed and patted her arm before leaving.

Seeing the green dot in her phone turn red she giggled with hysterical edge. Placing the phone back in her pocket she smiled darkly, "So easy? Heh, Never."

She pinched her fingers and a purple diary appeared before her. Snatching it out from the air she wrote down some strange letters and symbols and threw the diary. The diary in the air turned into several codes and disappeared just at it appeared.

----------------------

Ryse knew he had to get of here before the police or someone else arrived. Taking the chance provided by the screaming people he ran out into the hallway and his shield disappeared. Ryse knew that the main system would not have helped if his AI assistant was here hence he thanked the main system for it's generous help.

When he exited from the backdoor Angeline was waiting in the nanny van. With a sigh he entered the van and got to see Angeline start talking and not stopping for a whole two minutes until she realized Ryse could not hear her.

Ryse had caught a few words from lip reading 'Looking' 'Not there' 'Trouble' and etc. So Angeline was looking for something? Or looking for him?.

His reflection in the glass window smiled faintly, Going unnoticed by Ryse.

-------------------

Reiner C.Castillo, Half Asian half European, 25 this year, Descendant of Castillo nobility having the ability unique to Castillo bloodline. He had just encountered a scenario that has never happened before on his way back from Micah's concert. A group of abilities actually dared to block his way haha, laughable.

Reiner narrowed his blue gold eyes and crossed his arms in front of him leaning back on the black Mercedes lazily. These pathetic little things must have thought that with only the driver around they would be able to beat him. Reiner stared at them emotionless as they talked down his loyal driver. There was nothing for him to do his driver would be able to handle himself. Not even a few minutes passed and the little driver came back apologizing for the wait.

"Two minutes thirty five seconds. You need to improve" Reiner said and entered the car ignoring the whining driver. The car zoomed away leaving a pile of unconscious abilities.

Reiner opened the door to his study and frowned at the piled up paperwork on his desk. His eyes flashed unwillingly but he knew better than to leave the papers alone by tomorrow they would be flooding his study. He sat down on the revolving chair and started to look through the papers. On the side laid two different files with the same person's picture on them, The only difference being the color of the eyes.

Normal people would never have been able to see through the illusion but the abilities? They were not normal in the first place. They all know that person is not the same anymore. The only reason Reiner had even gone to the concert was to see whether this person was ability or not because abilities could be identified through eye contact.

Unfortunately that person was not an ability but he was favored by the world somewhat. In this little trip Reiner had discovered something more interesting than whether Micah was an ability or not. His family ring had heated up at eye contact, It only heats up when it detects Castillo bloodline in someone. Which has not happened in centuries mind you.

So the question is ' Where did this Castillo blood in Micah appear from?'
