The direct action that took her life was the street lamp that had gone through her chest. Whatever had attacked her, took her energy and then ended it with the street lamp. It must have been a situation where she could not help but get hit. If not, she would not have died like that.
All they can see from the corpse is how she died. Vanessa looks at Benukiz’s corpse.
They need to see how her battle against the opponent went. Narsiel came back to her senses and looked for traces of the battle like Vanessa is doing.
“It’s small and fast.”
“Extremely.”
The opponent is small. The attack on Benukiz iwas focused on one place. An attack is something that is meant to kill. It was focused because it was small.
Everything in the area where Benukiz died is in chaos. There is no doubt that they moved around as they fought.
“What is this? She wasn’t able to land a single telling blow? This is a lie, right?”
It is all Benukiz’s wreckage. There is nothing of the enemy’s. This does not make sense. Narsiel needs to be wary of being hit if she fights with Benukiz, too.
How strong was the enemy that she was attacked unilaterally?
“If it were you… could you die in the same way Benukiz did?”
Vanessa shakes her head to Narsiel’s question. There is no way to answer without fighting, but it seems that it would be hard even for the strongest of the 4 sisters.
Vanessa touches the part of the building that has been sharply cut.
It is clean.
But there is no feeling of vigor to the cutting.
Artificial? There is nothing to express it, but it feels something like that.
The wind changes behind them. At that moment, Vanessa and Narsiel exchange looks. The smell. It is unfamiliar yet familiar smell.
Papat!
Vanessa runs toward the direction from where the smell is coming. It is faint. It is so faint that it felt like it could disappear, but they are sure they smelled it.
A tongue, long and thin like a whip, comes out and picks a piece of metal off the ground. Vanessa sees this and her face shakes.
“This…..”
“Human blood? Benukiz died because of a mere human?”
The piece of metal is the only clue they have picked up in this wreckage.
The blood is not visible to the eye. A long time has passed since it dried and disappeared. Level 8 super senses are able to pick up on the blood that has dried and gone away.
That is right.
They thought Benukiz had been killed by a strong mutant, but she was killed by a human.
Blood dropped by coincidence? There’s no way.
“Why was Benukiz here?”
“It’s either coincidence or a lure.”
There is a higher chance that it is the latter. If they want to find out what happened, they have no choice but to find the person who did it and ask him. The key is in how to find him.
“How about the youngest?”
“She’s fine. She said she discovered something fun, and I’m guessing it’s torture. Well.”
The youngest Vanessa is referring to is Odelia. The last time Narsiel contacted her is a few weeks ago, and she said she is staying somewhere in Austin, Texas.
“Let’s go.”
“Alright.”
They are nervous. The youngest is weaker than their 3rd sister. She is strong as an individual, but she will not be able to last for very long if she comes across an enemy like that.
The two of them went back to Benukiz’s corpse. They cannot leave her like this.
Vanessa and Narsiel absorb Benukiz’s body. They do not get stronger or anything, but in human concepts, it is as though they have cremated her. They finished absorbing her and went from Louisiana to Texas. They are close and it felt like a good idea to check on her just in case. Their destination is Austin, Texas.
***
Cha Jun Sung looks dispirited. Odin’s criticism that since he used one Universe Eye he would soon go through all of them, could become reality.
The words became reality. He did not use all of them as he had said. He used 4 with Dallas as a start and is about to use an additional one.
The Universe Eye shoots into the air as though a rocket were launched. Cha Jun Sung watched this and stepped on a stone on the ground. It breaks like an egg under the pressure.
“Where is this wretched bitch?”
Cha Jun Sung is normally well-mannered and watches the language he uses.
But he is human too. He cannot help but curse if he gets angry.
In that sense, Odelia can be cursed out without having anything to say in opposition to it. She needs to start coming out if he has put this much effort into it. He used a total of 5 Universe Eyes. That alone is 1.5 billion points.
Sustaining point?
He did not count each one, but they are going out even at this moment.
Since it is his 5th one, 50 points must be going out every second.
It may feel small but if this becomes cumulative, it is an amount that cannot be underestimated. He is able to search a huge radius because he put out 5 of them. What makes him angry right now is America’s area.
There are 5 with radii of 100km, but that is not enough to completely search Texas.
It does not seem like the situation will get much better even if he uses the other 5. He is not going to use them because the immense amount of points is an issue, but also because he cannot buy more even if he wants to until he gets to level S.
The damage is huge. It is comforting to put meaning in the fact that this is his first level 8 hunt. It is good to fold thoughts of benefiting with points. The reward is 1.1 billion points. He exceeded by 400 million from the beginning.
The key is how many points level 8 Odelia will be worth.
Life Mission usually gives 10 times for each level. Since the best in level 7 is 20 million, it would be normal to get 100 or 200 million but it does not add up. There is nothing he can do if he gets that much and it is best to calculate separately.
The fortunate thing is that on the premise that Odelia is in Texas for sure, he has shortened the time in finding her to an extent.
He has looked through the central region of Texas.
Himself?
Universe Eyes looked through it. He excluded unnecessary areas and used them in large cities where main facilities are concentrated. He cannot dig through each and every corner.
Cameras that the 5 Universe Eyes see through come up as a hologram. It is a volume that Cha Jun Sung cannot see all at once even if he expands the hologram. Odin considered what is important and only put up the videos that are worth looking at but there are no videos relevant to Odelia, so most of them might as well just be garbage.
“There are a fair amount of Lifers. I’m sure you guys are watching us like this, too.”
The footage that the Universe Eyes send through is showing Lifers going through missions. Is this how helpers see things?
Cha Jun Sung felt like he had become a helper himself.
[It is similar. The difference is that you’re free, but we aren’t. Based on Life Mission’s rules, we are just watching.]
“Rules my ass…”
What rules when they do whatever they want.
Nonsense. Cha Jun Sung did not get mad at Odin. It is all the fault of the superiors.
“Let’s see. The remaining city is…..”
The small cities and villages did not take long, so he personally went in and searched. He only used the Universe Eyes on big scales.
[The biggest city near here is central south Austin.]
Cha Jun Sung’s current location is central city Round Rock. If he goes southeast from here, he will get to Austin.
The distance is about the amount it took him to get from Houston to Dallas.
He was annoyed because the search for Odelia grew later, but he was also comfortable on the one hand because the Universe Eyes are searching through the larger areas. If she is not in Austin, he needs to search through the west and the north.
If she’s not there?
The east. What if she’s not in Texas at all? He does not want to even think about that.
