Jin ran as far as possible before entering a secluded place. He immediately removed all his clothes and changed into the clothes he had placed in his bag earlier.
He wiped the blood stains on his face and body using water from his water bottle and wiped his face clean with his handkerchief. With that done he changed back to his original appearance.
Jin finally took a sigh of relief after he had done all this. He adjusted his heavy breathing for a few seconds before returning to the streets like a regular citizen.
He stood on the bus stand and waited for the next bus. Jin saw an ambulance and two police vehicles pass by him during this time. He didn't care. The bus soon arrived and he got on it.
When he arrived home without removing his clothes he just fell on his bed. He was exhausted. He had never done so much running in years as he did today. Add to that the mental stress and there was not much energy left in him.
Jin's vision blurred and he soon drifted into sleep.
The next day he woke up early, around four in the morning. The images of what had happened yesterday were still very clear in his mind.
"I'll see how things go today..." Jin muttered as he went to the mirror to freshen up.
"It left a mark huh..." The right side of Jin's face was a little bruised from yesterday's event. David's hand punched him there.
'If someone asks about it I'll just say that I bumped into a pole while going through my phone...' Jin thought and started brushing his teeth.
An hour later he was all freshened up. He looked at the knife he had used yesterday for the kill and cleaned it thoroughly.
Jin had killed three people yesterday. It should have been very normal for him to feel stressed but he felt that it was quite strange that his nerves were controlled. 'Is it because I did all that with Edward's appearance?... Most probably'
It was clear in everyone's eyes that it was Edward who did the killing. No one would blame a newly employed janitor for something like this.
He soon had his breakfast and went to work.
When he arrived at school he saw a notice outside the school gate: Closed
Jin glanced at the security boot at the gate and found his fellow workers talking with the school guard.
From what the discussion was going on. It was only in the morning that they got the order to close the school. Therefore they were unable to inform everyone about it in time.
"A murder?" One of the workers gasped.
The security guard nodded and told them all that he knew so far. Jin too joined the group and listened on.
"The police had found three dead bodies. They all are our students. The killer is likely one of our students as well so therefore the school has been shut for today,"
"Oh my god, how could this be?" Quite a few of them gasped this time.
"Do you know who it is?" Someone asked the guard.
The guard just shook as head.
Another set of discussions took place among the group before they all finally settled. Since there was no work today they all soon left.
"A holiday huh? I wonder what I should do?" Jin mused to himself.
"What happened to your face Jin?" Auntie Julie asked the moment she saw Jin's face.
"That?... I bumped into a pole while walking with my phone," Jin said while scratching his head.
That invited a few chuckles from the old men who listened to him. Auntie Julie glared at them for a few seconds before scolding Jin, "How could you do this? You should be more careful Jin. What if it was a car instead of a pole?"
Jin nodded in understanding and promised that he wouldn't be using his phone while walking only then did Auntie Julie let him be.
As he sat on a bus home Jin massaged his thighs and calves due to yesterday's events "I should get an ice pack later," He mused to himself and turned his head towards the window.
'Ah, I didn't check the system. There might be some changes.' With that thought, he opened up the system interface.

'Well...the kill points increased by 30 points. So for normal citizens, it's 10 points and for a cop, it's 50 points,' Jin concluded in his mind.
He was still confused as to what is the use of these points.
'Maybe something will happen if it reaches 100...' Jin thought.
.....
An hour later, Bing City Police Station.
A guy was brought out of a police car. Fear and uncertainty were apparent in his face. When he exited the car various reporters came up to him and started asking him questions.
"Why did you kill your friends?"
A reporter's question entered Edward's ears the moment he exited the police car in handcuffs.
"I didn't kill them!" He shouted hysterically. It was clear that he was not in the right mental order.
The surrounding voice dimmed but only for a few seconds as the next moment a barrage of questions were raised.
"Then who was the guy in the picture? Your ghost?!"
"Do you take us for fools? You heartless murderer!"
"Rot in hell, you bastard"
Edward whose mind was already in a very fragile state was unable to handle such false accusations. He wanted to deny all of it but he had no way of doing so. Why was he in that picture? Did he really do it?
All sorts of questions were popping up in his mind to the point that he was questioning his sanity.
"No! I didn't do it!" Edward covered his ears and continuously denied the accusations. The police surrounding him finally took action and made space between Edward and the reporters as they guided him inside the station.
