Christ still couldn't believe that Liza really had left him. What Christ thought the amber-haired girl was just bluffing, was not. Liza came out and even reached the ground floor of the hotel. She leaves Christ like a loser who has rejected love.
Christ wanted him to order Jeremy to drag the girl back into this bedroom so that Christ could punish and kill her. At least if Christ couldn't detect and retrieve the woman's soul energy, he could vent his frustration at having been humiliated like that.
Christ was indeed very capable of doing that, but killing a girl whose soul energy was not detected was pointless. After all, Christ also didn't want to drop his pride any further just to chase and catch that girl.
"Master Christone ..."
Jeremy's voice instantly broke the chaos of thoughts and sucked back Christ's consciousness.
"What do you want??" asked Christ curtly because he was still getting annoyed with Liza.
"I'm sorry, Master. When I came back here, I found this book on your doorstep. It looks like it belonged to that amber-haired girl."
Jeremy then handed the little pink notebook to Christ.
Christ opened the book, flipping through its contents. From there he understood that this was a journal report that was usually carried by a member of the press. And it just so happened that inside the cover of the book was a press ID card.
"Liza Meissa…" Christ muttered the name with a haughty smile on his face.
Then a smirk appeared on Christ's lips for a moment an idea popped into his head. Which of course has to do with Liza. He must have wanted to do something with her.
As Christ was about to put the book into the desk drawer near the bed, he felt a buzzing in his left and right ears. It was a sign that a being from the astral dimension wanted to communicate with Christ.
Christ opened his mind's eye to see who the creature was. What turned out to be the creature was a messenger bat from the astral dimension of the Jin kingdom.
"King Jin summons Master to his palace. Hope you come soon." That was the sound of the bat whispering in Christ's ear.
"Okay. I'll be there in a minute. Thank you," Christ answered through his inner voice to the bat.
'How come King Jin summoned me? Is it really that important to have to send a bat?' Christ grumbled in annoyance.
His plans with Liza had to be postponed by Christ. He immediately prepared himself to go to the Jin Palace.

Meanwhile, in another place, Liza is now in the office car with her team traveling back to the city of Vienna.
Some time before, when there was a scene with gangsters throwing a tantrum at the hotel where Liza's friends were staying, the police evacuated all hotel visitors and gave chase to the gangsters. Including Liza's friends.
Without knowing the chaotic atmosphere in the hotel, Liza, who had been separated from the group of friends, returned to the hotel by taxi.
Liza then went down a bit far from the hotel location. That's because the taxi can't pass, the road is blocked by police cars. Then Liza met her team in front of the hotel.
"Gosh, Liza! I thought you were still in the hotel! Thank goodness you're safe!" Mina panic. Mina thought Liza was out of the hotel.
"Thank God! When everything is complete, let's go!" said one of the team members named Mike.
"W-where are we going?" asked Liza who was still in a daze with the commotion around her.
Ken who happened to hear Liza's question then replied, "The police urge us to immediately get out of the city tonight for safety. So we should continue our journey to another city--"
"Shouldn't we go back to Vienna first? We've just had something bad happen. We need to be safe," Mike suggested again.
Mina turned to Mike and said, "I think you're right. It turns out that this city is still dangerous. And if we still want to travel to another city, there may be still danger. It could be that the criminals are still scattered and hiding."
It was heavy, but Liza agreed with a small nod. There is a hint of unwillingness from inside Liza's heart. Because actually Liza is still curious to dig up more info in this place. But he was also worried about meeting those criminals again. Moreover, they are also targeting girls with amber hair like him.
Since all agreed, they decided to return to Vienna and temporarily stopped reporting outside the city for safety.
The day after this dangerous incident, news emerged that the government had decided to carry out a lockdown in several important cities, including Vienna. All people living in these important cities are advised not to leave the city for an indefinite period of time, except for trade traffic. It is also very closely monitored. The government does not want to be missed again like what happened yesterday. Of course, to avoid criminals entering these cities.
Even some of the press friends who had not yet had the chance to return to the city of Vienna were forced to stay and protect themselves in temporary residences. Grateful that Liza's group had arrived in Vienna before the lockdown.
Being in a situation like this is, of course quite detrimental to Liza's job as a news seeker. He used to always go around the city for coverage, but now he was forced to remain silent in his residence. Work on online coverage reports. So boring.
"Damn, the work is piling up!" Liza cursed softly while moving her ten fingers on the laptop keyboard in front of her.
Then, when Liza wanted to pay back the medieval history reporting in Innsbruck, she realized that her journal was missing. Liza repeatedly unpacked her backpack, but still couldn't find it.
"Damn... Where's the book?" Liza panicked.
Inside the backpack were only two books about the witch. It's bad too. If you can't find the journal, what will Liza want to write about? There's no way Liza wrote about witches, right? That's terrible!
Instead of panicking because her journal was missing, Liza's attention was more interested in paying attention to the two witch books again. Just for fun flipping through the pages of the book randomly, because he was still a little curious about the contents of the two books. Especially books about magic moves and spells magic.
Arriving at the page with the title "Cakra", Liza immediately stopped the movement of her hand. That foreign term somehow caught Liza's attention.
"The center of energy in the human body or what is known as chakra," Liza muttered reading with a serious face.
There the page explained, that there are seven energy centers scattered in the human body, and each has a different color. Starting from the head, forehead, throat, heart, stomach, pubic, and near the tailbone. And of course, each of the seven chakras has its own function.
When she found out that there was a chakra in the heart area, Liza immediately went after the page that explained what the heart chakra meant. Perhaps the chakra has something to do with the power of his eyesight which can see strange crystals in the human chest area. Liza was curious about what the function of the heart chakra was.
"The energy of love and healing? What does that mean? Is the crystal of magical light that I usually look means heart chakra?"
There are only those two functions listed there. There is no explanation other than that. Really, this made Liza's curiosity swell even more.
Love? Healing? Did the crystal of light that Liza saw really work for those two things? Liza, who is still a layman, is certainly still confused by this.
Ting!
In the middle of her confusion, suddenly an email notification sounded from Liza's laptop.
"Okay..." Liza closed her eyes as she closed the book. "I can look up more info later. My job is more important. I would like to finish my deadline work!"
Liza took a deep breath. Tidy up the two books and store them on the bookshelf near the desk.
Actually, Liza is still paralyzed by opening a new email, worried that there will be another new job from the office. However, the report is not finished yet. So Liza chose to ignore the email first because she prioritized the report.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
But instead of stopping, email notifications continued to bombard his ears. Checked who the spammer was, and it turned out that Mina had sent the same email ten times.
Unable to endure ignoring her best friend's message, Liza gave up. Worried that the email was more important, so Liza opened one of them.
"Okay fine... We'll see what you send, Mina..." Liza muttered as she rolled her eyes lazily.
How surprised Liza was when she found out that the email sent by her best friend was completely unrelated to work. Rather...
"Why did Mina register me with a dating agency?? Seriously??"
The email turned out to be an online ticket as proof of registration at a dating agency. Also attached is a list of men with the initials of Liza's candidates.
"Damn, Mina! You want to be kidding me?!"
Dare to swear, as Liza remembers she never asked Mina for help to put her into a dating agency. But Liza's best friend even registered her without permission.
Liza knows Mina's intentions are good, so Liza can quickly move on from her ex and immediately get a life partner. But if I'm honest, Liza really doesn't like finding a mate in this way. Moreover, this is through the agency's use of the online system.
Refusing this registration will also hurt everyone, especially the male candidates. Liza also doesn't feel good about rejecting Mina's good intentions. What should she do?
