Chapter 182 That Red Coloured House
"How?" asked Irene as she blankly looked at me while we were traveling towards our destination.
Currently, we were traveling in a [Super Jeep] of sorts that I bought from the [Shop] and bought here in the real world, through the gate.
[Super Jeep(Rare)]
[One of the advanced machinery of the Planet Iktara, which ran on energy rather than any inexhaustible source. As long as it has enough energy source, it can function for a very long time.
Special Effects:
>When under attack, it forms a shield that reduces incoming damage by 50%
>Once fully charged, both its weapons and its fuel capacity can run for 2 weeks at full power.
>Contains 3 semi-auto rifles, 2 side machine guns, war knife tires, nitro boost and a rocket launcher.]
It did cost me about 250,000 Cronas, but given how much Cronas I had in my pockets right now, I guess it was fine, honestly.
[Total Cronas: 25,291,054]
\'Maybe I should buy that other dungeon too? But I won\'t be able to use it completely while I am here, can I?\' I thought as I pondered over it before looking at Irene as I answered her question finally after so much pestering,
"I have an ability that allows me to create specific things. Though it costs a bit of energy at a time."
It wasn\'t a total lie, since [Shop] does allow me to create things in a way, and the cost is Cronas, which is a form of energy.
With my infinite energy, keeping the gas tank full wasn\'t really a problem. We can even use this infinitely. Too bad there wasn\'t anything that could help us fly and reach there, or else I would have used that.
According to Rhea, in a certain war between the higher beings, all the flying weapons were already used and the newer flying automobiles weren\'t available in the [Shop].
\'This makes me wonder about what exactly is the [Shop] and also, I was more curious about the creator of this [System] of mine. It was already too powerful,\' I thought as I looked beside me at Myla, who was carefully observing Miya, trying to see through her mask.
Sensing me observing her, she turned at me with a slightly perplexed look before she sighed as she put her head on my shoulders and I wrapped my arms around her.
"Every time I see you, another girl is around you. Caroline and Alissa, I more or less knew, but them… Sigh… how do you always end up finding so out of the norm girls, anyway?" she questioned in a low yet tired voice and slowly reaching my hands to her chins, I lifted her head towards me.
"Jealous?" I asked with a bit of a mischievous tone, and she nodded without any denial. I then bent a bit forward and kissed her on the lips before separating them and saying,"that\'s what you get for leaving me behind all by myself back then."
I see her eyes widened as she proceeded to touch her lips. It looked like she was still in a daze, so I just left her like that. A few moments later, she smiled brightly as she tightened her grip around my arm and then put her head on my shoulder again. This time with a joy filled attitude, than the previously worried one.
"We are almost there," Alex spoke as he looked at the scene in front of us. We were in a small city, with a couple of buildings, but mostly it has double or triple storied houses. At max having 5 floor apartment buildings.
"The Nightcrawlers in this part of the country are really low," said Miya as she sensed around while she killed whatever Nightcrawlers came close to us. While the rest of us just sat there and enjoyed the view of the night.
The light of the [Super Jeep] also had UV light installed, making the Nightcrawlers stay away as far as possible. While I also gave my [UV- Lamp] to the military guys, who were following us in their own car.
The speed of their car was increased by Miya, using some of her magic, hence the reason for our early arrival in the town so far.
We traveled to almost the center of the town before Alex asked us to stop near a half broken building. Getting out of the vehicle, he looked at me and pointed at the house at a distance from us.
"It\'s that one. The red-coloured one," he spoke as he pointed at the house and hearing his voice, I nodded as I turned at Walter and the others,"protect the people here. I will go and check things out."
While others nodded, Alex held my hand as he looked at me with a really worried face while I just smiled as I spoke,"Don\'t worry. Even if the enemy is 10 times stronger than you describe, I still won\'t get a single scratch. Trust me, okay?"
He was hesitant, but he nodded. As for Erika, she just looked at me from the jeep as I waved my hand at her before moving towards the red-coloured house.
While I was walking, I also activated [Eyes of the Time Keeper] to check for anything that might come at me randomly. Though, the timer showed that I won\'t be attacked for another month or so, which made me relax a little.
I also checked for any attack at them, which actually showed that they will be attacked in another 20 minutes or so. But when I checked when they would get badly injured or be in trouble, the time showed more than 3 months.
While it was fine and all, it was showing 3 months for Enkonimiya as well, which made me question something really important.
\'What is it that is going to happen in 3 months? That is even enough to harm someone as strong as Miya?\'
"Well. We will cross that bridge when we reach that," I thought as I reached that red house. While it looked pretty much normal, trusting Alex\'s words, I proceeded with caution on every step that I was taking.
Slowly entering the house, I observed the things present in that house.
\'Nothing out of the ordinary, I see,\' I thought as I looked around. Starting from the kitchen to the bedroom, I searched all the rooms on the ground floor.
Then I moved to the roof and checked things around. There was another room there, but it only stored a couple of old materials. Nothing noteworthy.
Not giving up, I decided to take another round in searching the things around. And this time, guess what I found? A hidden basement.
-Creaaak!!!
Opening with an eerie voice, the door opened, showing a dark basement that led down to complete emptiness.
[Second Space]
I entered the space, went to [Shop], bought another [UV-Lamp] and then went back outside, as I positioned the lamp in front of the basement.
I almost puked, looking at the scene. It was all slimy and scary, filled with rotten flesh covering the entire area, from the stairs to the walls up to the roof.
\'One step closer to the truth, I guess,\' I thought as I slashed the air using my spear from the [Time Storage]
[Temporal Rejection]
Cutting down the flesh on the ground, creating a place enough to step down before taking the first step towards the basement.
