Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 209 - Nagoya Trip Of Madness (VI)



These bastards were too tight-lipped. Although the first guy did say something, it is not something I didn't know so the info he gave was pretty much useless. The only useful thing I got was the tip they have for what they were currently looking for.

I managed to get rid of them by smacking the back of their heads, knocking them out effectively. They have a 50-50 chance they will wake up later with their memories intact but I made sure that they will also pay for what they did. I didn't bother to call the police due to the reason of breaking their fingers. This will cause me to be questioned by the police in the end. I decided to throw them into the heap of a trash dump in the neighborhood and made sure to cover them with garbage.

They cannot say who I was since they also don't know my real identity. They can only try to guess who I was.

Now, the thing that my father was hiding was a random box that seems to hold something important for the people who infiltrated my father's house. I don't have any info on what it was but I can guess where it was hidden. As someone who knows my father really well, I know of his habits regarding hiding things.

I went into his room. Moved the bed away and count the number of tile floors from the wall 4 times horizontal then 5 times vertical. Once I stopped counting, I knock on the very last tile I counted.

TONK TONK

The knock was hollow and it moved a bit. I grinned as my father's habit of hiding things never changed. Taking off the tile, there was indeed an item underneath it. A small little box, it is very small that I can say it looks like a box for the ring used in weddings.

"I thought it would be a very big thing I needed to find, but why is it so small than expected?" I mumbled to myself.

I pick up the small box and inspected it. I tried shaking it but it doesn't give any rattling sound or anything. I even tried to perceive what is inside but it seems like I can't see anything. Due to my curiosity, I opened the box. I thought there will be nothing inside but it seems like I was wrong since there was a USB flash drive inside. The reason why it is not shaking is due to it being covered in protective foam, allowing it to stay put inside the box, and even if you shake it, it wouldn't do anything.

"A flash drive? Is this the reason why my father is being hunted right now by these bastards and are now harming even my mother who was not even involved?"

If this was indeed the main reason, does that mean, this flash drive contained something that those bastards wanted?

After finding the flash drive, I went into my car, pull out my HoloPhone and access the flash drive. Since the HoloPhone can now act as a laptop or computer to read the flash drives, I didn't need to come back home or go to an internet cafe to check the contents inside. The HoloPhone can do it just fine.

"Huh? What the f*ck? Isn't these porn videos?!"

I scroll around the contents of the flash drive and the contents inside were all porn videos. Some of them are even on a folder while some of them that have the latest date is just sitting outside the organized folders.

However, I am quite suspicious about this thing. I know that he would still watch one if he needed to but to collect these to this extent is suspicious. I am suspicious about this so I decided to check around the folder and browsed all the videos inside the folders. Due to the number of files, I have to scroll a lot just to look at it.  I also didn't expect the size of the flash drive is 125 GB. With all of these videos, I doubt all of these things are lewd videos.

Then, I stumbled on one folder on one of the folders containing the forbidden content. It was suspicious since the title is only numbers. But then, I realized, it is not just numbers, it was a date. The date was just the very latest. Opening it, what I found was a list of names of people. I also saw a few scenes but it was not something I understand. I also thought that was the end of the video but it seems not. It faded to black but the video is still playing and there are still at least five minutes left on it. I doubt this video a lot so I fast forward for a bit and things suddenly get interesting. It was the video of someone killing someone else.

"Is this the reason why Father was being chased? Because of him being a witness of a crime?!"

This is a huge scoop. And due to this, my father is being hunted right now. But who are these people? Only father knows who they are but since the next clue is found, the next move I need to make is to find father.

It's already too late for me to continue looking for him so I decided to return home and rest. It is also needed for me to at least recover my brain from thinking too hard. That is enough action for the day.

...

The ghost in the mansion was currently in the gym converted room. The ghost was truly enjoying the gym since it has been working out using the teddy bear. I have not seen anyone who has a dedication like this ghost. Even though the ghost no longer has a real body, as long as there is a way, it can really do whatever it wanted. 

With the ghost busy, I have no one to disturb me in my room. I still have plenty of things I needed to do. Although I played the game for a bit, the abilities I obtained are not yet on par back in the past timeline and I can say that I am still a newbie on it and I can't do anything about it. The only thing I can do is keep powering myself up, keep myself strong in the game and keep on training.

Because I am worried about what Lucia would do in the game while I was gone, I decided to log back to the game for a small-time. This way, I can at least have fun for a bit even under stressful times.

[Welcome Back, Bladeheart]

The first thing that my ears welcomed me after logging back in is Lucia's voice.

"You! How long are you going to be gone? I waited for you for quite a while! How come you just appeared right now? I needed to recover my levels and abilities so that I can find my parents and prepare against the Goddess of Life!"

"Calm down, Master needed to rest too sometimes. You can't just force him to do things that you wanted to do without considering his feelings!"

"But... but my levels..."

"It is not a problem. Master can allow you to return to your previous level a lot faster so be patient about it. You don't need to rush him to do it," Atlas said.

"Don't worry Lucia, we will be hunting today, let's raise that level of yours."

The mansion is empty and everyone was offline which means everyone is not playing the game right now, and Goro and his family are all sound asleep in the room I assigned them, allowing me to summon Lucia out without any problem.

"Do you have a weapon to fight enemies, Lucia? With your state right now, you won't be able to do anything against the enemies we will be fighting."

"I don't. My weapon was left behind when I fell asleep. I need a new weapon to use."

Since Lucia needed a new weapon, I pull out one of the Very Rare Staff that I was planning to sell for later. And even though it can only be equipped by players at level 80 above, NPCs and followers bypass this rule and they can equip it without any problem.

"Use this. It might be inferior to what you were using in the past, but I don't have any better weapons you can use at the moment. If I get a good weapon, I will give it to you in the future."

Lucia inspected the weapon and nodded in response. This is good enough. It might not be on par with my previous weapon but this works quite well for a beginner weapon. Let's hunt and raise my level!"

The entire night was spent with Lucia leveling back to her normal level. Although she has to work hard again, it seems like she will do whatever it takes to get back what was lost from her. As for me, my search for my father will have to continue tomorrow once the sun rises.
