Irida Rosta N.

Story 006: House of Blind Revenge

Hello, and welcome to the universe that I live in.

My name is Irida Rosta N. and I will be accompanying you in the next few moments of your life.

I see that you are back here again.

Before, when I introduced myself in the story about warm ice cream, I challenged you to find out who I really am.

And, after sharing some of the stories in the universe where I live in, I believe you have already come to the conclusion that I am not human... Or, at least, come to the conclusion that I stopped being human at some point.

Well, I did explicitly stated that I'm not God or Angel before. So, at least you know that too.

In that case, what exactly am I? Why do I know things that didn't happen to me? And, why do I have the ability to seemingly manipulate reality?

Ah, the last question is kind of like a clue, I guess. After all, I used the word 'seemingly' which means that I don't actually have the ability to manipulate reality.

After making it this far, I guess it is only fair for me to give you a freebie.

Now then... I'm going to share another story with you. However, rather than story, this one feels more like a game in my opinion. A detective games.

Ah, before I share this with you, I'm going to warn you that I'm not going to share the answer and/or conclusion of the story.

You have to figure it out yourself.

So... Without any further ado, let me share you the story.

***Story 006***

***House of Blind Revenge***

Three people are found dead in one of the houses in the XX residential area. According to witness, the three people are family and one of them, the wife, is pregnant for almost one month. The bodies were discovered in the kitchen. The husband, a heavy smoker and one of the victims, is bludgeoned to dead with a cane for helping old people walk according to autopsy. The wife, who was found near the kitchen counter, died due to blood loss from several stab wounds on her stomach inflicted by a kitchen knife. The third victim, however, the father of the wife only died due to heart attack. The police are still investigating this case because they believe that the culprit is still on the run.

"What a joke."

I said, reading the news while sitting comfortably in the sofa inside my house.

"This case can be solved easily if the police investigated the medical condition of his husband who is a heavy smoker."

I took a sip of my tea and reread the same news again.

"Why didn't the police do that?" I asked myself and shook my head in disappointment, "I guess it is because this world is full of stupid people like that. Huh...?"

I suddenly remembered that I met a girl who liked saying something similar. She was a plain-looking girl, one that could easily be missed by everyone. Her black eyes were ordinary and her black hair... I believed it only reached up to her shoulders, but... I wasn't sure. She liked wearing dark-colored clothes to hide her figure, so... I didn't know if she was busty or not. But, one thing was for sure though, she was definitely on the slim side of the spectrum.

"Was it... This universe is full of mysteries...?" I tried to recall what her favorite phrase is, "Yeah, I think that was it..."

Even though I suddenly remembered about her, my interest toward her also lose immediately and I reread the news again about that incident where three people were found dead in one of the houses in the XX residential area. I took another sip of my tea as I reread it and made up my mind.

"I guess..." I stood up, ready to go to the place of crime, "I should lend a helping hand to the police. I'm the greatest detective in the whole world, after all."

***Story End***

...

...

...

I really shouldn't underestimate that detective observation and memory skill, huh...

To think that he still remembers how I look like despite only meeting me once in a case a long time ago... He even remembers my favorite words! I really should be careful.

Sigh... Thanks to him, you know now how I look like. Yep, plain-looking girl who favors wearing dark-colored clothes.

I was so ordinary that you might even have seen me or even talked to me and dismissed me as just another ordinary person.

Alright! I think that is enough about me. Let's go back to the story.

So, please tell me what do you think of the story.

Is it confusing?

Well, it is a mystery, after all. But, don't worry, nothing mystical happened. Everything that happened in that house is very realistic.

With some critical thinking, you might even be able to solve it.

But... if you still need a clue, then I'll tell you that the whole mess started because the wife announced her pregnancy.

Does that confuse you even more?

Oh, well, I think those who have the same habit as the husband know already.

Anyway, that is all for now. So...

See you again in the next story.
