The stalker kid, Leo, stifled a yawn as he rubbed his still sleepy eyes. Then he got up from his bed and drowsily marched into the bathroom. While brushing his teeth, he listened to his lively system's endless but useful rambling.
He nodded for it to continue.
Leo rinsed his mouth with water. Then after inspecting his youthful face in the mirror, he laughed, "Hehehe, I know I'm quite smart! Serves her right! She's a secondary host but she dared to show herself in front of me! Hmp! I hate people like her! Blame herself for I will also hunt her Original!"
Leo thought it out a bit and then pouted. "Is that so? But doesn't it mean there'll be no more police officers coming after me? That sounds very boring!"
He frowned. The news sounded good, but since he was after the fun, he quite couldn't like that he would no longer get to annoy those panda-eyed officers in blue uniforms. He tried to picture what it would like for his day to be without these people chasing him... and it seemed very bland! Like an oil painting lacking some vibrant colors!
"I don't like the idea. But now that I think about it, that host already knows that I'm targetting my dear Clarissa's Original. Maybe that girl just wants me to freely move so I can have more time pestering my stalking target. Hmmm. When I think about it, maybe she's quite a good girl."
"Sure! Where is she!? Let's go there! I miss her already so let's stalk her again! Hahahaha! I want to throw a bomb again at her! Last night, my dreams revealed to me what I should try doing today!"
"Hahahahaha! Secret! I won't tell you! Where's the fun if I just tell you, right? No, I won't do that! I want you to keep guessing! Anyway, you're a very very very advanced AI so I'm sure you have all the means and brain capacity to calculate every possibility and option. Hahaha!"
His sole companion began to throw tantrums and complained about the unfairness of this world, but Leo was in too much of a good mood to pacify it.
He stared out of the window pane and saw that the sun had already risen quite high. The bright sky was annoying because it would halve the effect and amazingness of the explosions later. But fine, he'd just take it as a challenge or something that couldn't be helped!
Laughingly, he teleported away, a notification buzzed in his head not long after.
Leo only laughed it off since he had already arrived at the place he designated. To where he first went? It was still very early in the morning. Of course, he has to get himself something for breakfast first!
...
...
...
Out of all the system hosts, Leo was probably already the luckiest to have the most childish and easily pleased partner. He didn't understand why the AIs have personalities of their own despite being made up of numbers and data, but he was glad to have 37 - a very childish, but ahem, quite caring and reasonable companion.
its answer when he inquired whether the one he could see from the distance was really his stalking target.
Leo took a bite from the milk break in his right hand, then sipped some guava-flavored shake from the to-go cup in his left hand. While sitting cross-legged on the slanted roof of the house next to the green-painted apartment, his eyes went down again to the left side where two girls could be seen chatting. Both were in their school uniforms. The dark blonde was unlocking the door to her unit, while the other was eyeing her dangerously.
It was already late afternoon. So many fun things distracted him since morning until noon so he only remembered his target just thirty minutes ago.
The teleporter kid laughed to his system AI.
"I don't mind the deducted points. Hehe, I know while the others are crying over the points subtracted unreasonably by their companions, you are always fair and always doing your best to give me free information. Don't worry about these little points." After taking another bite, he continued, "So this girl is really not that other host? Meaning our lovely stalking target impersonated 137?"
"Ooh, you make sense. And I'm guessing 137 has not yet considered this 101 impersonating her!"
Leo nodded. It continued.
"Well, looks can be deceiving. Awww, this is what saddens me about this world. Even before, we, hosts had access to items like face-changer, there are already so many mysteries and puzzles revolving human faces existing! With the same face, a person can do many things... and many toys with it to get what they wanted. Some use it to become famous TV monkeys. Some use it to fool or scam others. There are also those who fake emotions in order to appear weak and then prey on their unsuspecting victims..."
His system noticed him stopping, an icy glow crossing his eyes. It knew he once again remembered the battered wife who deceived his family and was for the nth time, wishing he had not easily killed that woman so he could torture him for several decades.
Leo chuckled at its advice that it probably had wrung its database for.
Ten seconds later, he had already finished his breakfast and unceremoniously left the garbages on the roof. His very dependable AI made sure to give out rewards for his littering. And as for him, he stood up. On his face was a big boyish grin. While his left hand was fixing his cap, his right tightly held a suspicious-looking bottle.
He cheerfully said, "Host 137's quite stupid for letting her pieces of baggage roamed around the city without proper protection, but whatever. It's none of my business. My only concern is to pester my dearest Clarissa and her Original to death! Hahaha!"
While the voice in his brain kept on protesting and mocking him for bringing out a poor man's grenade, Leo activated his body-swapping skill and instantly appeared in front of his target. A second later, he was already waving happily at Clarissa who was about to hack that lucky girl with a long knife.
"Hello, my dearest Clarissa? Did you miss me and my bombs? Oooh! I'm guessing that you did! After all, my bombs and letters are the main spices of your life! Hahahaha!" he laughed as he easily dodged the first strike.
Shock appeared on the girl's face. But when she realized it was no longer the same person in front of her, she withdrew her weapon and jumped back. The kid was very content at the hatred that briefly crossed her face as that proved he was speaking to the correct person.
Of course, he was also quite amazed by her quick change of expression. The woman was stunned at first but then recovered and even thought of using her current face to her advantage. "Who are you? Why are you hindering my mission? I know you're a host, too. But I don't remember ever crossing you! And why the heck are you also calling me who I am not!?"
The kid's mouth formed an 'o' before he heartily laughed. "Wow, so heartless to deny my weeks of effort! Awww, seems I still have to prove my undying devotion to you! By the way, your current face is beautiful too, but your previous is way better! I want it back to the real one the next time we meet, okay? And of course, I have all the points needed to recognize you even if you change into a gay! Hahaha!"
The woman probably saw what were in his hands, so she ignored his words and tried to jump from the second floor. However, he had already detonated every explosive he scattered when he finished saying those. When the whole building was devoured by the fire and explosion, Leo had long teleported out of the area while Clarissa, whose body got caught by it mid-air, was left to curse the hateful kid's name.
Unfortunately for her, he was already five hundred meters away, whistling to the two guys kissing at the narrow alley he had teleported to.
'Wow, just when I strolled out to bomb someone, I ended up witnessing a hot kissing scene!'
Leo let out a few chuckles which distracted the two passionately kissing people. He laughed at the red-faced younger one who tried to push the older and burlier man away.
"Oops!" Activating his Hypnosis skill, he then said. "Sorry, continue, you two. Hahaha!" After giggling again, he laughingly escaped from there.
While walking away, his companion asked him about his plan for the girl that got accidentally teleported to the roof of the house next to the blown-up apartment, After he shrugged and carelessly replied, "Who's that? Why should I care? Hahaha, I don't give a damn!", it showered him with praises and rewarded him with some points.
