330 Communication
After that embarrassing moment, the woman calmed down, and Gregory could only apologize again and again. Although he has already a fair share of embarrassing moments. He swears that this one was by far the most memorable in half of his life.
‘That’s really shitty. Damned luck! Fortunately, I came out of the sewer earlier, or the monster might suddenly appear in front of my face with this shitty luck of mine.’ Gregory felt that he made the right decision this time.
If he really encounters the monster face-to-face. He’s really deader than dead! Just one casual attack of the monster is enough to crush his old bones into shreds.
“Well, let’s call the other first. I wonder what’s happening on their side.”
Gregory turned his head at the pocket on the lower part of his dark blue suit near the zippers. Then shoved his hands and rummaged through the contents of the pocket.
Then he felt a cold metal, a small square shape on his fingers. He knew that it was his lighter. So, he moved his hand again randomly, and he felt a familiar sensation. After all, he always carries that thing in his hands.
A smile appeared on his lips unconsciously. ‘Well, it turned out that I still have a remaining piece of cigar on me. It seems my luck didn’t fully run out.’
Then he moves his hands again. The pocket on the suit of Ranger’s Eye was quite deep and has a large space. That’s why he can store a lot of things. The designer made the pocket like this on purpose.
Investigators would inevitably need to carry a lot of stuff with them, and a suitcase might do the job sometimes, but it wasn’t convenient enough. With the help of a pocket with a large capacity. The members of the Ranger’s Eye could store guns, night vision goggles, and such things as batteries.
.....
In a simple sense, it certainly made their life easier. Though, theirs pale in comparison with those of the main branch.
Just like Azazel, Kate, and Kiba, who had a portable storage space in the form of a pocket. It works like the storage ring used by nobles. There’s a space rune etched inside their pocket which blessed it with spatial attributes. They could store things like weapons, grenades, first aid kits, and other essential items investigators like them needed. And main
Of course, if other members of the branches want it, they can get it. Unfortunately, they needed to use their contribution points to have it. Unlike the members of the main branch who got it for free!
Gregory has two pairs of such suits. He’s worked for the Ranger’s Eye and became captain a long time ago. It would be weird if he can’t even get that shit with all the contribution points he had accumulated through the countless mission he had participated in.
As for Fein... He just ignored it. He already has his system storage that presently could even store a large carriage and other things of large sizes.
‘Oh, It’s here.’ Gregory pulled out a dark red mobile phone in his hand. The phone has a grim reaper logo on the back while holding a scythe.
Gregory had to say that the design was really cool. Fein had already decided to make the Grim Reaper the logo of his future organization. They are the Knights in the Dark, but they also reap lives when an enemy stands in their way!
Gregory looks at the screen lock of the phone with a frown. ‘What’s my fucking PIN again? Oh damn! My fucking memory problems strike again!’
His golden fish memory took over again. Gregory felt frustrated as he tried hard to remember the PIN he set.
After a few moments, his eyes brightened as he finally remembered it. He dialed Three, Six, Eight, and Four on the screen. Yes, the Pin was exactly four digits in total and he still has a hard time memorizing it.
Gregory could help but sigh with this. ‘I’m really getting old. I just hope it won’t get worse and worse.’ Then the display on the screen of the phone changed. And it’s showed the available apps.
When Gregory saw the orange book with the profile logo, he immediately clicked it. A list of numbers appeared in his eyes, all starting from zero, nine digits.
There’s a name written above them. Michael, Fein, Kidd, Anthony, Ceterus, Kiba, Azazel, the dead Kate, and some of his family members, such as his mother.
Yeah, Gregory asks Fein to give his family cell phones. After all, he really loves the convenience and the efficiency it provides. Now, he can contact his family as much as he wants and wherever he was. He suddenly felt lucky that Fein joined their organization. If not, they wouldn’t have the luxury to use these things.
Fein pushed his pointing finger at the number below Michael’s name. Suddenly, the mobile phone in his hand rang loudly...
After a few seconds, the ringtone stopped and Michael’s voice sounded from the speaker below the phone.
“Hello? captain Gregory? What’s the matter? Di you encounter the monster already!? I’ll go there right now!”
Gregory was stunned in an instant, then he hurriedly opened his mouth and says. “Brat, don’t be too tense! I just called to inquire about the progress of your search around the city.”
On the other side of the city, Michael froze for a moment. Then a stiff smile came out on his face. ‘Damn, I thought he finally found the monster.’
Gregory, on the other hand, heard Michael breathe a sigh of relief, as Michael’s mouth was close to the phone.
“So, how was your side? Just relax for a moment. We will use this phone to communicate and update each other. I will call Anthony next.” Gregory said on the phone.
“Well, I thought you found the monster.” Michael couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m just worried because the enemy this time is too strong for us.”
Gregory could only nod his head, even if Michael couldn’t actually see him. “Yeah, just one blow of it might kill us. But don’t worry too much. Fein is the main fighter this time.”
