Chapter 31: Wanted

Sun shines to your face. You wake up in a large bed alone.

Rafayel:
          Oh finally, you're awake.

You sit down and feel dizzy.

Y/N:
          Ouch my head. What happened?

Rafayel:
          Nothing. We just have...a little fun. Anyway breakfast is ready.

You look at him, he smile. You rolled your eyes and look at the time. You hurriedly get up.

Y/N:
          Oh my God, it's almost a week. It'll expire tomorrow. I need to go.

You get up and run towards the door leaving Rafayel stunned.

Rafayel:
           Wait, what? Expired what? Hey you-

Y/N:
           I'm sorry. I need to go bye..

You look back once and close the door. You almost trip on your way outside. Your head still hurts but...

Y/N:
          (This is more important. I need not to waste what Xavier let me borrow)

A few minutes later, you arrive at your apartment. You make a hang over soup and take a shower.

After an Hour...

Thanks to Xavier temporarily synchronizing your access privileges, you're able to use the highest-rank database in the Hunters Association.

After spending most of the day searching, a news article from two years ago catches your eye. Located in the heart of Linkon City, a man in his 50's was murdered in a luxurious apartment. The killer has never been caught.

Y/N:
          (All the evidence points to Onychinus, but it's still not enough to be certain. An unsolved case...)

You keep reading the article.

Y/N:
          (If Onychinus is the culprit, then they're clearly able to manipulate the media. But they didn't. Maybe they're trying to send a message.)

Even though the Association blocked all insider channels, there are some encrypted ones. For a small fee, a person can locate the source. You try to find a person that can help, your Hunter's Watch keeps beeping.

Hunter's Watch:
          Connecting...Please do not turn off the device.

An unknown message suddenly pops up.

User423412: Hi.

User423412: All I got is a single crime scene photo and a bad audio clip. Still want them?

You: Yeah.

User423412: Why are you looking into Onychinus? Got a score to settle?

You: Wasn't there a policy about not asking regarding the past?

User423412: I'm just curious.
