328 Tracking the monster
The Ranger’s Eye team had scattered in the city. Each of them has strong eyesight as a degu user. This helps them to cover a wide area. With this, every one of them can monitor two to three cities. Michael, on the other hand, can travel instantly in every part of the city, so he roams around every minute.
This time, he was alone, and he already ascended to B rank. He could bear the consumption even if he travel from country to country for twenty-four hours without draining his degu energy. What’s more, just a mere city.
Fein looks around at the environment. His eyes had three white dots on them that rotates constantly. This is the new ability he made by using his specialty as a perfect organism.
He combined all the eyes of animals that have superior eyesight. Hawk, eagle, crow, owl, and others... Now, a mutation had occurred as he fused them all simultaneously. In the first place, he could already see miles away. Now, he obtained the far-sightedness of the eagle, visual acuity of a hawk, sharp eyesight of crows, and night vision of an owl. What resulted were his current pupils.
The sclera turned black and Fein almost look like a demon, and one could only see the three dots that formed like a triangle on his dark pupils.
Now, he could cover a larger distance with his eyes. He could see from all angles, and he won’t need to turn around his head.
“Well, the sun was still up. Why do I feel a bad feeling about this monster?”
Fein suddenly felt the heavy feeling again dawn on him, which have him a weird feeling of depression.
He felt that it was hard to breathe. He didn’t feel a sense of threat from the monster, but he felt that something bad was about to happen. It was his S-rank talent instinct that keeps telling him.
.....
...
On a roof of a two-story building with a vintage design. The shadow on the roof shook.
Two seconds later, a figure emerged from it. It is exactly Michael who just came from the center of the city.
‘I already went to Moras Avenue, Red Guard District, Bestugas Alley, Don Honorio Lake, and Meiji Park, but the monster was still nowhere to be seen.’ Michael couldn’t help but heave a deep sigh.
He can’t feel at ease as long as the monster was out there.
Michael was more of a hero than Fein. He always believes that he should protect the weak and always do his best to fight for their country. It’s also the reason he joined the Ranger’s Eye and became an investigator.
If no one wants to step toward the well-being of others, who would be? Michael was willing to do it even if he has to sacrifice himself in the process.
Contrary to it, Fein only helped those he can help. He only saves those who he could reach. But if he can’t save them, he won’t force himself. As for the country, he doesn’t care about it. But if he could help without exerting much effort, then he would do it. He was more casual.
After all, the reason Fein strived for power was for himself. He only cares about his family the most and his friends.
The reason why helps people was because he still has a conscience and a bottom line that comes from being a human.
If he didn’t have a bottom line. He would surely go astray and lose sight of his path.
This line would be the one that would keep his humanity intact and not lose himself in the process of seeking power.
As for the reason, he became an investigator. He was only forced by the circumstances. After all, he needs their resources and protection at that time to protect himself from Jackson.
Now that he has power, he would help the weak, but he wasn’t willing to sacrifice his life for them. He can even sacrifice a few strangers in order to achieve his goals.
This mindset of his was built on the influence of his past life on Earth. Humans were only a tiny speck of dust in the infinitely expanding Universe.
Michael swept his eyes around the city. His eyesight lets him see every detail with accuracy. “Hmmm... Where are you?”
He tried to find the figure of the monster, but there was still no sign of it.
After half an hour of patiently observing, he gave up and his body turned into a shadow. Then he blended into trees, then into the shadows of the buildings. He changed places left and right.
...
The night had finally come. A sea of clouds loomed in the sky, and their shadows covered the ground and the people walking.
Gregory gathered the force in his feat. After that, a wall of rock rose five meters in front of him, and he jumped into it.
He glanced at the small establishments and scanned the vicinity.
Gregory only saw families walking on the sidewalk of the road, talking and laughing with each other.
“This is the area where the monster would most likely attack.”
After all, a monster won’t go to a desolate area right? Since that would be too stupid.
Gregory looked at the wooden house in the North. Then he saw something that made his eyes lit up.
On the road, he saw an entrance that leads to the sewers.
“Since the monster was nowhere to be seen. It can only be in the sewers. Damn! What a clever way to hide in plain sight. Does the monster possess a high intellect?”
Gregory shook his head. Monsters with high intelligence are rare and they were mostly those S-ranks. But how is that even possible?
If the monster is really an S rank. The damage to the surroundings wouldn’t be too small. After all, their destructive power could literally restructure an entire body of land and water.
Gregory jumped down and descended to the ground slowly. Then he ran for a minute before he arrived at the entrance that leads to the sewer.
Sewer is one of the most concealed places in a city. After all, who would go to a place that reeks of mixed odors that came from the dirt of humans and the accumulated waste? Furthermore, it’s a place where all kinds of pests live.
