--------------------------------------------
Jin frowned when he looked at the Mission page. He didn't know who this guy was but from the intel which has been given to him, it was clear that he was an innocent person.
Though Jin wasn't a saint of any kind still killing someone just for the sake of killing made him feel conflicted. All the people he had killed so far, Jin didn't regret it since his motive had always been to not get arrested.
If not for the penalty of death Jin would have ignored this mission and continued with his life. Why would he bother to make his life more complicated than it already is? but now he cannot do so.
As to whether the system can kill him or not he had no doubts regarding that. A system like this did not need to lie to him.
With a sigh, he tapped on the Target location and a small map opened in front of his eyes.
'Now that's interesting,' Jin observed the map.
On the map, he was marked green and his location could clearly be seen. Another location was marked red.
'That should be the target,' Jin concluded. He tried to play a bit with the map and found that he could zoom in and zoom out from the map just like he could on his phone.
Upon zooming in, his current location was very clear to him and the names of the nearby buildings were also visible. The plan view of all the buildings and locations was shown on the map just like how it's shown on normal GPS apps.
Jin had no idea where this 'TrueComfort hotel' was so this feature was very convenient for him. He could always keep an eye on the movement of the target with its help.
Jin returned home and freshened up. After being done with that he called in sick for work and exited his home. Since he needed to eliminate the target anyway he might aswell do it now rather than delay till the end.
He took a bus from the bus stand to the location. An hour later he was standing outside the said hotel.
"TrueComfort Hotel huh?..." Jin muttered as he looked at the signboard of the hotel and made his way in. It was a 3-star hotel. Not too big, not too small. Though much better than what Jin had seen so far in his life.
Jin had once worked as a dishwasher in a local restaurant so he was aware of how the check-in procedures in a hotel were...almost.
He walked towards the receptionist. It was a pretty woman in her twenties. She blended in very well with the background.
"How may I help you sir?" She asked with a professional expression on her face.
"I would like to book a room till tomorrow morning," Jin said.
The lady asked Jin for his ID for identity proof and made him fill out a form. Finally, after all the procedures were done she gave him a keycard.
"Your room number is 45. It's on the third floor, sir, Have a pleasant stay," She said.
"Thank you," Jin accepted the room's keycard and was soon guided to his room by another front-office worker.
"Here's your room sir, I hope you enjoy your stay," The young man said after he showed Jin around his room and made him familiar with all the facilities that were there in the room.
"Alright," Jin saw the worker go out and then closed the door.
Jin sighed.
"It's so expensive..." He muttered now that no one was around. Just booking this room until tomorrow morning had put a major dent in his wallet.
Shaking his head in dejection he turned around. His gaze paused on the huge king-sized bed that was there in front of him. It was his first time seeing a bed that looked so royal and cosy.
His intrusive thoughts took over him and he leaped towards the bed.
'Wow,' Jin thought as his whole body landed smoothly on the bed. He was the most comfortable he had ever been. He loved this feeling.
'How wonderful it would be if I could sleep on this every day...' Jin lamented in his mind. He turned around on the bed and now his face was glancing at the ceiling right up. He pulled up the system and navigated a bit to open up the map.
The map of his current location was clear to him. Since he and the target's location seemed to be overlapping from far Jin zoomed in on the map and finally got a clear location of the target.
When he was close enough to the building's place view. The building flashed a bit. Curious Jin clicked on it and a series of options appeared in front of him.
.....
-Basement
-1st Floor
-2nd Floor
-3rd Floor
....
"Well, that's impressive." Jin blurted as he tapped on the 2nd floor. The planned view of the entire floor became crystal clear to him. Everything was marked and Jin could see all the room numbers and other areas on the floor.
"This system keeps on giving me a surprise,"
On the map, a green pointer was clearly shown in room number 45, that was him.
'Room number 24 was it' Jin thought as he opened up the plan view of the 1st floor. Jin saw the red pointer in room number 24.
"Got you, Mr George," Jin smiled to himself as he looked at the red dot that kept on blinking from time to time.
