Zach noticed that the people inside the bullet train could not see them by their naked eyes. Some passengers were also walking past them.
They were like air wherein humans could pass through their bodies without touching nor bumping into them.
They seemed to be invisible creatures that were harmless to humans. They couldn't even touch a human body.
"So, where do we start collecting evil points?" Zach asked Ryuki as he roamed his eyes around his surroundings.
"Master, look at Lilith, your demon ring is shining. This only means that we are in the right place and right time. Something big is gonna happen in this bullet train," Ryuki informed him.
Zach looked down and saw his demon ring shining. It's a shade of red.
"You have to find those humans who are emanating an evil aura. It is easy to see, dark shadows surrounding them. After that master, use your demon whisper to incite them to do evil things. You must feed on their negative emotions," Ryuki tried his best to instruct Zach.
Zach nodded his head as he easily understood Ryuki's words. They started roving around the train. If Zach would estimate, there would be 300 plus passengers currently on board in that bullet train.
It seemed that there were lots of wealthy men on board since the First Class Cabins were full.
As Zach and Ryuki continued strolling around the train, Zach noticed some suspicious guys. There were three of them in that area.
Zach had observed how the three men secretly exchanged signals with one another.
"Hmm, interesting. Are they going to be the source of my evil points today?" Zach mumbled to himself as he continued watching the three men.
Zach could see the evil aura surrounding the three men. Without a doubt, they were the humans who would do evil things.
Zach tried to approach them, he was wondering what kind of evil things he would instruct them to do. He needed to think it over before using his Demon Whisper ability.
He simply walked over, getting near the tallest guy who looked like in his early 30s. He had a nice physique for a fighter. His muscles were visible in his white plain shirt.
But the thing that attracted Zach's attention most was the black inked tattoo on the back of his right palm. He was familiar with that symbol.
"Syphiruz!" Zach mumbled with his eyes open wide.
"Damn! These three men are members of the Syphiruz Syndicate."
A member of Syphiruz had a tattoo as their trademark. It was a black inked tattoo of three overlapping triangles.
Syphiruz Syndicate was a very powerful underground organization. They were known terrorists too.
"What are they planning? It looks like they don't need my demon whisper since they are bound to do evil things here," Zach nonchalantly said, still staring at the three men.
If his assumption was right. These men were armed. Zach sat down on the vacant chair, relaxing. He was waiting for the members of Syphiruz to make their evil moves when suddenly he received a system notification from Angelique.
============
< Congratulations! You just received your first-ever mission! >
[ Say "Open Quest" to view the details of your quest ]
============
Zach got annoyed after seeing the notification.
"What the hell? A sudden Quest coming from Angelique?! Is she kidding me?"
Zach lamented to himself. But in the end, he still viewed the Mission Details.
"Open Quest," Zach voiced out and the series of information flashed before his eyes.
============
< Mission Details >
[ Quest # 1: Save the Hijacked Train from the Terrorist Group ]
[ Difficulty Level: Average ]
[ Summary: Three armed men who are members of a terrorist group plan to hijack the bullet train with 300 plus civilians on board. They will use this incident to demand something from the government authorities but they will still plan to bomb the train after an hour. You have to seize the terrorist and stop the train from exploding. ]
[ Mission Duration: 1 Hour ]
[ Mission Reward: 3000 Angelic Points, 30 Attribute Points ]
[ Punishment for Failure: You will be struck by lightning three times. ]
============
Zach couldn't believe what he had just read on the screen. A deep crease was formed in his forehead.
"What is this Angelique? I am not a hero!!! Why do I have to save these people from the terrorists?!" Zach complained to her.
"Zach, this is your mission. You are blessed with the Angelic System so you are obliged to do good deeds even though you are not a hero." Angelique explained to him calmly.
"What the hell? I am a demon! Why am I supposed to do good deeds?! No way! I decline!" Zach said stubbornly.
*System Pop Up*
=============
[ Warning Alert: Failure to accomplish your mission, you will be struck by lightning bolts three times. ]
[ You have one hour to complete the mission.]
=============
Zach felt like he wanted to go wild as Angelique shut him down after giving him her last warning about his punishment.
"Damn!!! How can an angelic system be so cruel and harsh in giving punishment??!! This is not angelic at all! This is pure evil!" Zach complained, whining to himself.
"Dammit! I am here to collect evil points to get stronger, not to collect angelic points!" Zach tugged his hair tightly.
He didn't know why his new life ended up like this. What a contradictory life he had. He was reborn as a demon but regained an angelic system.
Zach didn't know whether to cry and laugh at his current situation. If he would not follow his system then he would get punished by it.
Who would want to be struck by lightning? Of course, he didn't want that!
But he needed to collect evil points to level up his demon rank. How could he do that if he would do good deeds, instead of evil deeds?
He didn't like to be a laughing stock in Asura Land. He didn't want to be a weak demon! Now, Zach was put in a dilemma. What would he do now?
