Knowing that he couldn't gather any more information for now, Christian was about to close the police site in front of him and be done with it, as he had already learned a lot. However, he suddenly halted as he remembered another reason for hacking into the police database.
Remembering his purpose of checking for any potential dangers around him, Christian contemplated whether he should add the police personnel to this list.
In the end, he decided to postpone that decision and began examining the other cases and reports currently available to him.
After spending some time reviewing the information in front of him, Christian discovered that most of it related to dangerous criminals or political matters.
And he wasn't particularly interested in those topics, as conspiracy theories and similar subjects didn't appeal to him.
As he began to feel that all the information had little relevance to him, and was about to finish browsing through the material in front of him, he suddenly noticed an eye-catching report, one that was surprisingly brief. Intrigued, he decided to start checking it out.
Christian, who thought he wouldn't be shocked by anything he saw, was taken aback once more, feeling as though his worldview had been completely overturned today.
It was a strange incident, but even the word "strange" didn't fully capture its essence, as many lives were lost, and the perpetrator wasn't some psychopathic serial killer; instead, he was an ordinary man who inexplicably transformed—his body swelling, muscles bulging, veins snapping—before going berserk and attacking people.
Christian's life genre had already been changed dramatically after acquiring his Idle System. But he considered himself somewhat special, believing that even though the system could be deemed overpowered, it didn't introduce any supernatural powers or magic, making it feel acceptable in his reality.
However, the abnormal human he was reading about, along with the accompanying pictures in front of him, told a different story altogether. It indicated that it wasn't the genre of his life that had changed; rather, the very genre of the world itself had been hidden, and he was now revealing aspects he had previously been oblivious to.
While the idea that the incident could be attributed to some kind of drug crossed his mind, the response from the government and what he had read suggested otherwise. It indicated that extraordinary powers existed in the world, something supernatural and beyond the norm. The implications of this revelation were nothing short of terrifying.
Christian now felt as though the world had become truly dangerous, and he was genuinely grateful for his own safety. As he stared blankly at the computer screen in front of him, he found himself at a loss for thoughts, overwhelmed by the gravity of the revelations he had uncovered.
But after taking a moment of respite to gather his thoughts, he finally came back to his senses. He then began to read the report in front of him more carefully.
But apparently, despite it being about this incident, not much was written in the report. As soon as the incident occurred and the police arrived, another mysterious group of people appeared, operating under a different jurisdiction.
The police were not authorized to question them at all, and this new group took over the case and resolved it themselves.
So, while there wasn't much mentioned, Christian still managed to glean some information.
The existence of a separate department responsible for handling such bizarre occurrences indicated that this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. It suggested that the government had long been aware of these incidents but had chosen to conceal them from the public.
And while he decided to work a little harder in the coming days for the sake of efficiency before, he hoped that moving forward, doing nothing would actually prove to be more efficient.
That's why he took a step back; after all he didn't want to be forced into a decision or feel the pressure of time weighing down on him.
Anyway, while he couldn't search or look into things too aggressively, he could still focus on becoming stronger, such as maxing out his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, while also refraining from using any unassigned points for dangerous moments.
So, Christian finally closed up the police site, but he couldn't help but think, that he really got to know many dangerous things today, and going forward, he also felt like there were bound to be many dangerous things, as while he can take things very slowly for the supernatural side of the world, and can even decide not to get involved with it.
And while he could take things very slowly regarding the supernatural side of the world, and even choose not to get involved with it, he knew that the potential for danger was ever-present.
His parents' incident was another matter entirely. Now, after seeing all this, Christian couldn't help but think that perhaps the one who had killed his parents was also somehow connected to these bizarre occurrences.
While this thought filled him with dread, it did nothing to diminish the cold killing intent brewing within him or the intricate plans he had begun to weave in his mind.
Christian had two leads to pursue after all: one was the individual from higher up, and the other was the blurred image of the car involved. Although neither was within his immediate reach, he was confident that he could eventually get his hands on both.
He also understood that even after acquiring these leads, the path ahead would be fraught with challenges. Finding the owner of the car and extracting answers from the higher-up would be no easy task, especially considering the incident had occurred ten years ago. The passage of time had likely obscured many details, making his quest for the truth all the more complicated.
It was still not impossible, though, and if worst came to worst, there were also the people responsible for the investigation whom Christian could question.
Anyway, while the road ahead was thorny, it wasn't as if there was no way out. He had his Idle System accompanying him along the way, which will come in help whenever he encountered difficulties. Additionally, the AI he planned to create would also prove to be invaluable.
So, nothing was useless; he simply needed to figure out the best way to utilize the tools, or the skills, at his disposal.
...
So, with this chapter, the first volume finally ends, and I hope it was good.
Actually at first I thought it could end with just thirty chapter but how it become sixty-six, I don't know.
Hopefully the next volume will be better.
Thank you for reading till now.
