- Investigation Team - Day of The Massacre - Recruit -
Recruit knows he's running out of time, even the densest person can clearly see that Boss's patience is ending, soon enough he would need to show some results, or Boss could do something crazy. And seeing as he is undeniable mad, that crazy thing must be very linked to possible death.
But he didn't "researching", even after catching the connections between the Red Command and the target he won't voice it out loud until he is ordered to do so, but by what he is seeing from the Boss that moment would be soon. And he was apparently right.
"It's taking fucking too long Recruit... When will this shit got show some results."(Boss).
"Soon Boss, soon... I am getting closer and closer. Just give em more-"(Recruit).
A lie, of course, recruit already found the connection a long time ago. But Boss didn't need to know it right?
"I don't care. You have thirty minutes."(Boss).
Ok, Recruit can work with this, thirty minutes means 29:59 minutes he could spend "searching" for more info. This situation is hella shitty, but Recruit got to make the most out of it. The thirty minutes passed way too fast, sadly Recruit can do nothing about it.
"Say what you have there Recruit. I. Am. Waiting."(Boss).
"... Well, after researching a bit I found some correlation between the Red Comand and the sunburn cases... apparently some members of the gang went to the hospital with heavy sunburn wounds on their bodies, just some hours before the massacre happened... I don't know if there is anything concrete on it, but I guess it worth it investigating..."(Recruit).
"Good good, We have at least a target for now. I know some places of the gang close to here, we gang enter there and ask some questions about that."(Boss).
After that, the Boss started driving a little bit faster to a place he knows of the Red Comand. Probably just a drug-selling point, or a gathering place.
Driving there didn't take much time, give it a few minutes and Boss was already kicking the door of an "abandoned" warehouse of the Red Comand. the moment the door feel everyone inside be whatever they were doing looked at the figure of Boss.
At that time Boss's aura completely changed to something crimson-colored, it was oppressive and heavy making most of the people there sweat. Boss is now probably cycling the [Crimson Flesh And Diamond Technique] at maximum, making most of the gang members sweat and feel like a higher grade predator is looking at them. But sadly stupidity won in the end when a Gan member holding a pistol shot boss in his torso.
Sadly there were neither blood nor pain-filled cries. Boss just smiled as the bullet fell down on the ground harmlessly. I guess the maniac just needed an excuse to kill someone.
And that is exactly what he did, there were twelve members of the gang here. And by what Recruit saw most of them had some level of cultivation, but even guns and swords weren't able to penetrate the skin fo user of the [Crimson Flesh And Diamond Technique].
The only thing blades and bullets did was destroy a bid of the Boss clothes. The first move ended the life of a gang member who fell by a strong punch on the neck. For the second one, Boss used some strange martial skill that sent a shockwave of crimson Ki, sending almost half of the gang member to the ground.
Another gang member tried to attack him with a sword, which Boss held by its edge. A blade that could easily bisect a normal man in two was held harmless on its sharpest place, the terrified expression of the gang member told Recruit of what was passing through his mind at this moment.
With a swift move, Boss pried the sword from the hands of the gang member and slashed him down, and all this time boss was still being shot by the other terrified gang members. Taking the Sword boss used another martial skill that covered that katana in crimson ki. The blade now looked more demonic and evil, and recruit could swear he could feel its edge on his own skin.
With a skill unbecoming for someone this mad, Boss proceed to hack and slash all the remaining gang members. People were being cut in half, Some other lost member. And all this time no blood fell.
For some reason or the other, the Boss martial skill could gather the blood of the enemies it slashed and accumulate it on the edge of the sword. this had the strange effect of little to no blood on the Boss's kills. It was a terrifying sight nonetheless.
It took little to no time and you could see bodies and body parts on the ground. And the most terrifying thing was the little amount of blood on it, it was like these people were just a bunch of life-sized dolls. It made the killing feel less in a way, is what Recruit thought.
after killing everyone Boss just smiled and said.
"You can come out now bastard. We have some questions to ask."(Boss).
"The Murim alliance... What do you want here... You come to my territory, make a fucking mess. And now you want something from me?"(????).
You could feel a pretty heavy pressure from this person. It's not as strong as Boss but it could pose a threat to Recruit and Subordinate nonetheless. You could feel that this person is very tense by his voice, he definitely knows that he can't fight Boss head-on. Hearing the question Boss just smiled and asked something.
"We are searching for a killer... someone who committed a massacre not too long ago."(Boss).
"Ahh... So the boys we lent to that bitch won't come back... What a pity."(????).
"So you do know the name Han Yue right?"(Boss).
"Yes... with some dealings she was able to drag some of our boys to kidnap someone close to the underground arena."(????).
"Good."(boss).
"Now I've already said everything I could hope to know. Get out. And be grateful that I am not persecuting your bunch."(????).
"As if a weakling like you could do something like that. AND DON'T THREATEN ME!!!"(Boss).
With that Boss turned, still, with the blood-red Katana on his hand, he made a slash on the air that immediately sent a crimson air slash toward where the voice was coming from. The slash traveled in the air and hit a place at the back of the warehouse. There wasn't a scream or anything like that, it was probably a warning shot anyway. After that, the katana started to break and slowly become dust, that martial skill of the Boss probably destroys the weapon when it's used.
Boss started exiting the warehouse seemly satisfied with the info he had gathered, recruit took a little bit more time, enough time to hear the voice in barely a broken whisper.
"... you and the alliance dogs act all smug right now... but we wills ee what the future holds to your alliance... the gom-"(????).
Recruit sadly couldn't hear more of what the voice whispered, but what it said proved to be very ominous. Maybe there is some problem within the alliance? No, Recruit shouldn't be concerned with that, he first needs to escape his won predicament right now.
