Chapter 357 Alice Morgan.

"...it is also here that I will begin my research." While nonchalantly pronouncing these words, his body disappears under the moonlight before it appears five hundred meters from Reha on the edge of a deserted beach.

And the next moment, Reha appeared by his side without making any noise.

But strangely, they were not the only ones on the spot, and Alvine had forgotten a detail on this planet by dint of living in a mana-based world.

A detail which, when he learns, it will be too late to change it.

...

"Are we here because you felt--

"No, I'm here only because we must start our research somewhere. And as the shadows take care of exploring uninhabited places, our mission would be to search among humans." He affirmed while looking at the familiar checkpoint with dreamy eyes.

"Sigh, it's not ready to finish." He then continued.

After these last words, familiar silence settled between them as they moved away and sank into the nearby city.

"This place is almost deserted. But fortunately for us, there is still an awake man in the area; the best would be to inquire with him." He suddenly stopped in his steps after this quick change in his plans.

"He must be the guard who takes care of this place. But there has nothing to protect." Acquiesce Reha by looking around her with confused eyes.

"... Yes, there is the beach."

"The beach? Do you mean that the sea of this planet needs guardians? But this water is nothing special besides being worse than the other dilute seas and lakes."

"I'm not talking about the whole ocean. Anyway, don't try to understand. It is not only this planet's residents based on modern science to improve their living conditions. I also remember seeing dwarves and other demonic species, such as blood demons or other species, using the same methods as earthlings.

-The only difference is that these races are based on magical science to create machines and other means of transport; the Kelspians are also part of it. Their civilizations are even closest than the humans of this planet. It's--Ugh!

At the same time, the light of the surveillance lamp stops clearly on them!

And Alvine couldn't help but close his eyes following the sudden blinding light that brightened his visual and nocturnal fields.

But the next moment, just reflexively, he vanished under the light before appearing in front of the small high hut.

-Knock, knock...

"Ahem, I know you're here. I just have to ask you a few questions." He uttered these words awkwardly after knocking on the wooden door.

"[A demon! Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. ~~~

"Huh?! Is it English?!" He murmured, astonished after hearing the agent's prayers.

And just out of curiosity, he waited for a little to confirm his suspicions.

"[~~~O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into~~~~. Amen!]"

"...But what the hell is he saying...this guy?" Alvine shouted out, becoming more confused when he heard the trembling voice of the security guard behind the door.

But despite this clue, he could not make the connection with his horns and shadow wings on his back, not to mention his dark and abysmal eyes.

And after three seconds of waiting for what seemed to be an eternity for him, he slightly forced the door, followed by a 'crack' coming from its lock.

"Is everything okay--??

On entering the small surveillance cabin, a middle-aged man with brown hair dressed in a security guard outfit was waiting for him on the spot with a nine-millimeter pointed at him.

-??

Seeing this scene, in which a man pointed a gun at him with trembling hands, his shock was such that he could not say a word for the brief moment that followed.

"[A demon!]"

But he was suddenly awakened by the strident and horrified yell of the man before him.

"... No, no, no, I'm not one--

-BANG!!

At the same time, the security guard opened fire on him!

But...

"..."

Seeing the bullet bounce off his shoulder, a shot that could not even scratch his black coat, not to mention the injured him...

Alvine looked confusedly at the agent, no longer knowing how to erase the misunderstanding.

"It's not what you--

-BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!... Click... Click... Click...

"[...]"

After emptying his charger on him, the agent stared at Alvine with empty eyes, and as if it wasn't enough for him, Reha also entered the small cabin!

"Why is there so much noise?" She asked after a brief look at the security guard.

"... It's a misunderstanding." Alvine's murmuring voice echoed in the small cabin as he shook his head with an ironic smile that seemed to be the smile of one of the hell demons for the agent, who was strangely still conscious.

Perhaps because of the glimmer of hope he felt at the sudden appearance of Reha.

But seeing them speak in a language unknown to him, his heart sank into the deep seas of despair.

"Sigh, I think it's lost in advance. Anyway, I'll wait outside while you question him."

"Questioning him?"

"Yes, on information that will be useful to us. Like the name of this country, the date, etc."

While explaining briefly, he exits the cabin, leaving Reha alone with the man.

'This situation is...sad. Maybe I should alter his memories before leaving.' He murmured while canceling his wings in his shadow, followed by the narrowing of his horns in his temples.

'I have become accustomed to this appearance in the years spent on enemy territory. But the problem is my eyes.' As he whispered these words to himself, his ring suddenly lit up, followed by a familiar sensation, before his eyes turned to blood red.

'...?! Tss, what an arrogant bastard. If you could make my eyes their standard colors, why make me waste so much time?!' He swore in his thoughts by cursing once again the spirit of his ring.

And as usual, the latter ignored him.

-Wiiiiwouu!!! Wiw-Wiw-wiw...

'Hm? Sigh, it was predictable, given the number of shots from this security guard. But to be so fast, their seats must necessarily be nearby.' He whispered to himself when he heard the sirens of the police cars in the distance.

'To speed up searches, it is better to get their network. But the best is not to create more disorder.' He concludes while continuing to watch the three police cars coming towards them.

"Reha, we have to leave here." He murmured in a fly's voice.

...

But even after about thirty seconds, Reha did not leave the cabin; and this brief time was enough for the agents to encircle the area with their barriers to create a sealed perimeter.

'What exactly is she playing?' Alvine retorted by returning to the cabin after crossing the eyes of one of the agents inspecting the area through his magnifying glasses.

"What makes you so much-- can I know what you're playing?" He changed his question when he saw Reha's sword in the security guard's heart.

"Instead of showing me respect, this creature tried to touch my wings with his dirty hands. Sigh, even monarchs do not have the right to contact me physically. Why be so bold even though he is so weak?" She calmly explained while retracting her sword.

"...Tell me that you could at least collect some information?" He then asked without frowning at Reha's ruthless actions.

"No, but it's not like we're missing subjects." She retorted, looking behind Alvine.

"What?! Have you forgotten that we shouldn't get involved in their--

"Just like you, who use his shadows, I also use my natural attributes. Killing these people is like moving my hand; I don't need to use my aura to influence the laws of this world." She retorted with a mocking smile.

"... Do you only need to use your energy to exercise your powers on this planet?"

"Hmm, logically, no. The laws of my domain are linked to me. If I repeat your words, it's as easy to change them as using my legs to walk."

'...Ahh, that bitch! She trapped me from the beginning. I thought she couldn't influence this planet with her authority, but apparently, it was me who had underestimated her powers.' Alvine replied in his thoughts with an ironic smile.

"[We know you're here! Go out calmly with your hands behind your head!]."

Simultaneously, Alvine frowned while hearing the police officers' orders through their speakers.

"You, you stay here!" He uttered these words with his stern voice.

"Are you going to kill them?"

"Do you have a problem with that?!"

"No, I don't care about their fates."

"Tss, what a fool." He whispered these words before going out of the cabin.

Just as he set foot out of the cabin, he noticed two police officers ten meters from the entrance, a black-haired man and a blonde woman with a ponytail, with their weapons pointed at him.

Apart from them, there were also their colleagues who were about thirty meters from them, all armed to the teeth.

"[Alice!]" The man shouted these words to his teammate while nodding toward her.

"[No...no sudden gesture!]" As for the barely thirty-year-old girl, she stutters these words because of her surprise at seeing Alvine's unrealistic appearance.

"[Listen, we're not here for--

"[You are on a crime scene; wait for your lawyer to come, otherwise everything you say can be held against you in court.]" She stammered, still half awake from her dazzling.

"A crime scene? How can you be so sure?"

"...The cameras in this place are directly connected to our--

"Alice! What the hell are you playing?! Handcuffs him instead of talking to him as if he were your cousin!"

"Eh? Why did I..." Hearing the surprised voice of her teammate resonate like a drum in her eardrums, Alice momentarily regained her spirits, not knowing how she could lower her guard in front of a more abnormal criminal.

Meanwhile, Alvine himself finally realized his mistake from the beginning.

'...Surveillance cameras, huh? It had escaped me.' He murmured as he looked at the red light flashing above him.

'Puff, I guess I have no choice but to change my plans.' He whispered while frowning towards the cabin.

'But the problem is this crazy woman, if these people try to handcuff her, she will risk creating a bloodbath that would make my task more complicated than it is now. I don't know if she will be ready to listen to me but lets at least try to resonate with her.' Following this conclusion, he began by negotiating with her by telepathy.

And by the time Alice's colleague entered the cabin, Alvine, in one way or another, was able to convince her to curb her desire to massacre.

So, just as the other police officer was going to break the door, Reha nonchalantly went out.

"Don't forget your words." She retorted these words to Alvine.

"Of... course, as long as you let me manage this situation in my way, I honored my deal." He retorted between his clenched teeth.

"..."

Hearing Alvine's reassertions, even if she did not respond, she still left herself handcuffed by Agent B.

"[Tsk, what a mess!]" The Agent B retorted after his brief stupor after the appearance of another person as endowed with an enchanted appearance as the man.

But what he and his teammates found strange was the almost realistic angel wings on Reha's back.

After handcuffing them and seeing the criminals under control, the other police officers flocked to them, helping the two officers to board them in the parked van a little further than the three vehicles.

Meanwhile, the others took care of packing the corpse of the security guard, who had a hole in place of his heart.

"Inspectress Alice, do you really believe that it was the woman who killed the agent?" Agent B ask to Alice in the van.

"Shut up, Jack."
