Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 160 It Is This Easy#3

"Who are you?" I heard the childish voice of the little girl standing there. It was not that bad to be honest, in fact, it was kind of sweet and cute.

"I asked… who… are… you?" She asked again, emphasising each word one at a time as she looked at me with her deep red eyes. She had short black hair that reached her chin, with bangs and a strip of red hair on the left side.

Her skin was white, pure white. I hadn't seen someone as white as she was… who was she?

I tried recalling whether I was familiar with someone with her features, but nothing came to my mind.

"You-

"I am Zero. An investigator sent here to find out about whatever the shit is going on here." Before she could speak, I spoke as I looked at the monster behind her. It was shaped more like a scarecrow-like monster with long sharp claws. That scarecrow monster's red glowing eyes looked like they couldn't contain themselves from eating me.

There was only one light bulb at the centre of the basement, because of which it was a kind of hard to make out the situation of the basement. Still, I could see some blood splatters on the walls, with a few broken tables around us. I even saw a few tools present on the ground, which seemed to be have fresh blood on them.

"How can you kill all my creatures with such ease? What is that weapon that you are using?" She asked again, and I looked at her slightly scared eyes, which were filled with confusion, horror, determination, and fury in them.

"This weapon?" I take out the artefact with a slight smile before passing it on to her. Scared, she took a few steps behind and the artefact fell to the ground right in front of her.

"Attack!" she spoke and the scarecrow monster, which was much stronger and faster than I could anticipate, reached immediately behind me. however…

-Flash

The artefact that I threw activated before he could hurt me and almost evaporated him. What was left of that monster was… a man's body? I turned and analysed that body carefully to realise that it was one of the investigators that our team had sent before.

'Hmmm… wasn't he like.. An S-Grade too?' I thought as I turned to her. Though she wasn't there, and the basement was completely empty. I turned around only to find her standing extremely close to me, observing me closely with curiosity.

"What was that flash bomb? Where did you get it?" She asked as she kept gazing at me and I, not really bothered by her question, answered as I scratched my forehead,"I created it."

"With your own energy?" She asked again, and I slowly nodded at which she observed me for a few moments before speaking again,"don't you use Dark Energy? Where did the Light Energy come from?" and I stopped scratching as I said,"I can use both the energies."

At my words, she became dumbfounded a little before she said,"show me."

'Hmmm… this is new. The last time I told people I can use multiple energies at once, they only laughed at me and took me for a fool,' I thought before pouring Dark Energy on my one hand which was kind of easy to do and a minute amount of Light Energy with some effort. During the past few months, I have just started learning how to use Light Energy… so I can at most use it in a limited amount per day. Still, I found its use in my grenades, which were quite powerful, to be honest.

"This!" her mouth was opened slightly, and she just looked at those energies as her eyes couldn't believe what they were looking at. Her eyes were beyond shocked as she spoke.

"What is the name of the First Vampire… just what am I witnessing right now?"

At her words, I tilt my head a little and say,"what are you trying to do?"

She shakes her head before observing my half confused face and speaks,"you do know about the laws of energies, do you?"

Getting more confused, I asked,"what is that?" and she closes her eyes for a few moments before looking at me blankly.

"Are you for real?" She spoke before she grabbed my hand and then said,"Come with me."

A portal opens all of a sudden and she, along with me, gets consumed by it, before we both come out through the portal to the roof of a building… I, a bit cautioned, look around only to find myself in the centre of the Drake Town.

"Look around and tell me what you see?" she speaks and I look around more carefully. The more I look, the more dumbfounded I became… those creatures were everywhere around us. The air, the road… I could even feel them underground. From A-Grade to SS-Grade… I could find multiple creatures moving all around.

"A city filled with monsters?" I spoke whatever came first into my mind. I wondered what would happen if such monsters were to come out into the city and start attacking everyone? Will our world be able to hold them?...

"Correct in a way… but there is more…" she spoke as she kept gazing at me and I understood her intentions, started thinking more… analyzing more…

A few minutes later, I finally noticed something. Those monsters seemed senseless… purposeless.. It's as if they have no will of their own. Hmmm… is there anything else? I thought and thought, but in the end I didn't get anything out of it.

I then turned to that girl and spoke whatever I found at which she sighs before speaking,"You aren't as smart as I thought you would be. Hmmm… how about I give you a hint? See the places where they are more concentrated…"

Hearing her words, I analysed the scene in front of me once again…
