As Kenneth discovers what's really happening with Shaira and Marco, Angelo stared at the frozen corpse he found in the freezer.
Man, what a conundrum...Ugh...seriously, and I thought I left the troublesome part to Kenneth...
Sighing, Angelo used <

Huh, this time the info that came out turned out useful, and Woah, this dude just got killed three days ago? How the hell did that happen?
Really...what the hell is going on with this place...
BAM!
-85 HP
Angelo stilled. He turned around only to catch a glimpse of a scruffy middle-aged man who's holding a bat.
Really, what the fuck?!
+ 85 HP [ Fully healed ]
He relaxed his body, activating <
- 98 HP
Wow! with much force this time...If I don't have the Gamer system, I'd be probably dead by now...
Seeing that he is not going down, the middle-aged man eyed him warily. With a move not befitting his age, he backed away quickly, leaving quite a distance between us.
"What's the deal, man?" Angelo asked.
The middle-aged man did not answer, instead, he took out a knife from his hip and throw it in his direction.
Angelo hurriedly evaded it, only to widen his eyes as the middle-aged man rushed towards him. Acting quickly, Angelo blocked the attack, his arms crossed against his head.
-80 HP
Angelo grunted, his eyes narrowing. He crouched with his right arm still raised and kicked the middle-aged man at his stomach.
I don't know what the fck is going on but you're going down geezer.
Angelo quickly equipped his tonfas and rushed towards the man. Dodging the attacks coming his way, he hit the man in his stomach followed by a kick in the gut, making the old man fly against the wall.
Something red flashed against his vision but Angelo ignored it, instead, he focused his gaze on his opponent. The middle-aged man glared at him, his eyes turning red, and with a blink of an eye, sharp claws slash against Angelo, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
Angelo hastily dodges the man's attacks, scratches appearing in his body. Gazing at the man's sudden transformation, Angelo can only brace himself. He whacks his tonfa at the man's ribcage and hits him with another at his right temple.
There!
Finding a chance, Angelo followed his attacks with a kick in the gut and proceeded on knocking out his opponent.
Angelo exhales in exhaustion as he gazed at the unconscious man before him. The red flickered again and he stared at the HUD above him.
<< Ernesto Bucad Mariano Lvl 25 >>
<< Cannibal >>
<
Busaw?
It's not really a surprise that this guy is a cannibal since he saw the corpse in the freezer but what the hell is a <
Gazing at the unconscious man in contemplation, Angelo used <
[ Ernesto Mariano Level 25
Transformation Progress 60%
Turned and marked by a Busaw, a corpse-eating ghoul ]
Hah...that's only the info that I can get from
By the way, what the hell is going on with this place?! This guy is an NPC, as in real-world NPC. Why the hell is this guy in this place?
Angelo searched the man's pocket and saw a phone. Turning it on, he saw a message coming from a Mr. Pilar.
[ From: Mr. Pilar ]
[ I'll receive my order at the usual place. Add some organs this time and just text me the invoice.]
A customer huh...a fellow cannibal perhaps? Or maybe the Busaw?
But anyway, to deal with this fellow first...
Angelo stared at the unconscious man.
Yep, I need a rope for this.
-----
Angelo finished all that needs a repair on the ground floor. He sighs in exhaustion, as he drags a thick cable wire across his shoulder. Looking behind him, an unconscious middle-aged man that was tied up is being dragged behind. The middle-aged man's head bumping on the floor as he got dragged along.
I don't know what Kenneth is doing upstairs but he better repairs some things while he's in there!
Angelo grumbled as he let go of the cable wire and rest for a moment. He has not found any other corpse yet, thank goodness for that but he needs to know how did this man get here.
Because he is sure that this person isn't a subcontractor. He's just an NPC, albeit a peculiar one. Also, this guy is evidence that there's something supernatural going on in the world, aside from the System of course.
Huh? What's that?
Angelo gazed at a half-opened door at the end of the corridor. It seems that this is the back door of the inn.
Curious, he pushes it fully open, only to see a blurred image of the surroundings.
[ ALERT!!! ]
[ You are leaving the instance. Are you forfeiting the CLEANING FRENZY quest?]
[ YES | NO ]
What?!
Angelo hurriedly backs away making the prompt disappears.
This...this means that this guy came inside the instance through this doorway...
Huh...
Angelo closed the door and turned his gaze at the unconscious man.
Now I'm interested...
_____
INN, SECOND FLOOR
Kenneth surveys the room and found a bag under the edge of the bed. It looks like it belongs to a woman, probably Carmen's. He opened the bag, and drop its contents on the bed. He took a good look at its contents and found an old picture.
The man and the woman in the photo hugged each other, smiling merrily at the camera. Behind the picture, a word is written on it.
R + C
Hn...
Now that he remembers it, it is really peculiar that someone left minutes after Soledad left the inn. This person also checked in a few minutes after her.
With a picture in hand, Kenneth went out of the room and walk towards that person's room.
