Chapter 137: Slasea City Incident (1/2)

Somewhere outside of Ratmawati City, it's a peaceful night in a humble city.

The cold night air filled the place as the moonlight bathe the humble city, only a handful of people can be seen through the streets doing night shifts.

Many of them are working diligently constructing a building, it seems something happened here before.

”Do you bring the cement? We need to put more on that part”, a guy said with a towel wrapped around his neck, his body is glistering because of his sweat.

Another guy then said, ”I brought more than you ask for, in case we still need more”

”Good job Henry, let's patch the hole there”, the guy with a towel said before he started working immediately.

The hole on the building is big, it seems the hole was created by something bursting out of the wall and destroying it in the process.

Five people are working on the hole,

”Thankfully the black hand manage to fend off that Centaur, it will be disastrous if it loses control in the city”

”Yeah, they're like tanks!”

”I dream of riding them, I think it would be cool”

”What the hell? Are you mad? Even if you have a thousand years of life you won't be able to”

”Hush it, It's called a dream for a reason”

The five of them are working together while chatting,

The building they are currently fixing seems to be an important building because it's already night but the worker is still patching it as if they have to finish it today.

Then, one guy went to the back of the building.

He wanted to take water from the faucet on the back, he puts the bucket down before he started filling it.

It's silent so he started to whistle to add some sound to the silent night.

Swish!

”Hmm?”, the guy glance to his right, he heard something moving on his side.

The backside of the building is filled with trees, it's a protected forest by the city folks and there are many big trees in there that are used for construction materials.

The bushes on the guy's right make a rustling sound, he frowns but he decided to just fill the bucket and get out.

But then,

Swish!

The bushes make the same rustling sound,

So this time, the guy approaches the bush with a frown.

He thinks that something is inside the bushes, he felt a little bit scared because of how dark it is but he still approaches it.

The guy looks through the bushes when suddenly he bumped into something.

”Ouch!”, the guy groans as he falls to his back landing on his butt.

He rubs his butt annoyedly, he looks to his front and saw a man standing there looking at him idly as if the guy's an entertaining thing.

”Who are you?”, the guy asked.

He doesn't recognize who the person in front of him is but then, he realizes something.

The guy went pale in fright when he finally realizes who the man in front of him is, it makes his spine went cold as he realizes this.

Right in front of his eyes, he saw the man looking at him.

The man has red ruby eyes that are staring at him intently, the moonlight makes the man's skin glowing, and his body is as pale as a recently dead corpse.

Just from seeing the man's features, the guy already knows what the man is.

”Vamp...Vampir-!!”, he wanted to shout but his mouth already got covered by a black cloth that sticks on his mouth.

The guy tried to take off the black cloth but it can't be removed.

The vampire smiles as he looks at the guy's struggle, the smile is disturbing and scary because of the fangs that peek out of his mouth.

Without wasting another second, the vampire grabs the guy before he throws him to the back.

The guy got flung away before falling to the ground, ”Akhh!”, the guy groans in pain, his skin got scratches because of the rough dirt.

His eyes adjust to his surrounding before his eyes widened in shock.

There are more vampires around him, they're all heading towards the city with silent steps completely ignoring the guy.

Not long, the vampires manage to meet the worker.

The humble and calm city becomes chaotic after that, many screams and wails of people can be heard decorating the silent night.

Rex blinks his eyes as he adjusts to his surrounding, the sunlight penetrates through the window right into his eyes.

He raises his hand trying to block the sunlight before he finally sees his surrounding.

The white bedsheets and the smell of food penetrated his senses.

Rex saw himself lying in his room alone, he also saw Adhara preparing food while shaking her body left and right along with the music.

It's a sight to behold, it brings back the weird feeling he felt to Adhara currently.

Rex shakes his head trying to dismiss the weird feeling before he thought, 'She brought me here?'

This morning, Rex passed out in the parking lot.

He doesn't know what happened after that, but he thinks that Adhara brought him here. It's a logical guess because Adhara is linked to Rex, so she must know about him passing out.

He brings his body up with a slight groan, his body feels sore.

Adhara notice Rex wakes up before she said, ”Where are you from? It's dangerous for you to pass out like that, what happens if someone bad finds you?”

”I got careless, it won't happen again”, Rex replied, he doesn't want to tell Adhara about the SCO yet.

He knows what happens to him that night is his fault, it's not a good thing for him to be like that and he swears that he will be more careful.

Rex can't even imagine what will happen if the Platchi finds him unconscious.

'What am I thinking about, the test from the green messenger might've got me', Rex thought, he ridiculed himself becoming paranoid.

After small talk with Adhara, the food is finally ready.

Rex eats the food leisurely, he felt refreshed because of how good it tastes compared to the last time Adhara cook for him.

It seems her cooking somehow improved.

This time, she cooks chicken breast with rice and spinach.

It's good to eat good food after passing out, Rex can instantly feel his body rejuvenate and got back to normal.

”Do we have something to do today?”, Rex asks, it's been a while since he's in Ochyra University so he doesn't know the schedule yet.

Hearing this, Adhara then said, ”No, we don't need to do anything today”

Rex immediately jumped back to bed, he felt relieved because his body is still fatigued from the Mutation Modifier he injected before.
