The next day, the headline news was about the wrongdoings of the mayor, the CEO and the others.
The news reports who were looking for something juicy found about these murders done by the Ghost.
They looked into it and found the post made by the Ghost.
The government and the cyber police also found out about this and tried to cover it up as the news about the mayor being a member of a money laundering gang will make the public lose trust in the police and the current government.
But things do not go as planned as a thing posted on the internet can't be deleted no matter what. Soon after the Ghost posted the evidence. Hackers were in it and it was soon continuously reposted by them.
Soon the media and the public found out about this and the cyber police's efforts were in vain.
They also saw the messages left by the Ghost as one of the police investigating these murders leaked to get some money. The messages were about how the Ghost was present here. All of them were the same. The message just said Ghost was hearing with a cute ghost emoji drawing.
Seeing this made the public see him as a vigilante or a superhero who would punish the wrongdoers.
The media also emphasized this matter as this became a global issue.
But some anti-Ghost factions start popping up which are most likely some government agents trying to change the public's view but most of them weren't stupid enough to listen to them.
The mystery lovers were trying to unmask Ghost but the only clue being his handwriting was hard as handwriting can be forged. Soon they gave up until someone leaked the main clue which was left in the hotel room.
The clue had a bunch of clocks with different times and a photo of Earth. There were also some words and numbers written across the paper. The words were Gloomy, Terrified, Vengeance and Justice. The numbers were 3, 6, 24, 11, 1, 15. It also had the cute ghost emoji which the public are calling the Ghost symbol.
1st Pov
I was exhausted from using Body Acceleration. I called the phone button and walked through the portal. I met with the mage who identified me and soon.
I asked the mage "Could you open a portal to the hospital, I had a tough mission and I need to pay down". The mage replied, "Sure, we all have days like that. Make sure to get some rest".
The mage then opened a portal, I thanked him and entered. A nurse quickly came towards me and asked "What are your health problems?".
I replied, "I have some muscles ripped, some blood vessels may be torn, and a few bones broken and exhausted".
The nurse wrote some things and said "Here walk through this portal. You will be treated there".
I nodded and the nurse went to call the doctor. I slowly limped towards and went inside the portal. I reached a normal patient room. But it didn't have any equipment. The room only had a bed, a nightstand and a lamp.
I went towards the bed and lay down. Using Body Acceleration was very dangerous. As it was only an experimental version of it. I have to make my chi level very high to do this without any problems so that chi can supplement the energy needed for mainly regeneration and speed.
As I was thinking about how to use my powers better the doctor came in. The doctor then walked up to me and said "Healing Magic Scan".
The doctor hovered his right hand over my chest as a blue-coloured projection came out and scanned my body. After they finished scanning it, the projection returned to his hand.
The doctor sighed and said "You have an awful lot of injuries, Mr Adair. What have you been doing to be heavily injured like this? If magic didn't exist you would be able to walk right now. The only reason you can walk at least slowly is because of mana which passively made its way to your injuries. You are very lucky, Mr Adair. You have to take 2 days' rest after the treatment. You would be unconscious during the process of healing. So tell me when you are ready so that I can start the process".
Hearing this made me feel worse. I decided to have my body trained enough to do Body Acceleration. I sighed, took a deep breath and said "I am ready".
The doctor hearing this said, "Sleep well. Poison Magic Anesthesia".
Hearing these words I fell asleep. After a long while I got a good rest and woke up. My injuries were fully healed. I could properly move my legs. I walked to the reception, discharged myself, paid the bill and left the hospital.
I walked towards a nearby restaurant and ate my breakfast. After eating I returned home and rested. I didn't do any exercises as the doctor recommended. After 2 days of thinking about what I should do, I got an idea.
The reason I kept my exercising low is to reduce muscles from bulging out. It will be harder to escape attacks with a huge body. I then thought about what I should do about this and found the answer.
Manipulation Magic. I could just manipulate my muscles and make them compact. I forgot how overpowered my magic was. Though it can increase my strength in the same way, it will be better if I reach my limit and do it. It will ultimately increase my potential.
I then exercised the entire day only taking breaks to eat, drink and go to the bathroom.
I had this routine for a week. I decided to take a break for a day as I do not want to burn out. I met Iris, Noah and Lily. They were getting very strong. I told them about my activities as a Ghost and they were surprised that it was me. Hearing this Noah asked his doubt "What does the clue mean?".
