My Idle System

Chapter 81: Second Attempt (2)



While he hesitated a little about whether he should continue, after thinking carefully, Christian decided to stop here. He was confident that he could bypass it as well, with at least an 80% chance of not being caught. But while his success was practically guaranteed, he still feared the 20% chance of leaving traces.

And for the information regarding his parents, he felt this much should be more than enough. If it was about the other strange incidents of people going berserk, that was a different story, of course, as he couldn\'t be sure about that at all.

Anyway, having achieved his goal, Christian looked at the droves of files and cases in front of him, and immediately searched for the previous case he had examined, hoping that this time there was nothing hidden and that he would finally be able to read the case report completely.

Finding it quickly, and opening just as hurriedly, Christian read it again, but disappointingly nothing new was gleaned from the content report, so he went toward the picture this time, and like he thought this time, this time it was not blurred.

Finding it quickly and opening it just as hurriedly, Christian read it again. But, disappointingly, nothing new was gleaned from the content of the report. So, he turned to the picture this time, and just as he thought, this time it wasn\'t blurred.

"Fuck!"

Christian couldn\'t help but curse upon seeing the picture now, as the car plate wasn\'t visible at all. And while the car could be considered a bit expensive, there were still droves of the same model around the country.

The bigger problem was that it was an event from ten years ago, so him hacking for the records of security camera and the like would be pointless, as nothing should have remained.

But it was still a lead nonetheless. Christian tried to think more cheerfully then logically about how this picture could come in help to him.

After all, the other method of asking the police officers involved in the investigation was out of the question, for now. It wasn\'t about a problem of power or strength. Christian, with his constitution at ten and his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills also at ten nearing becoming max, was confident in his abilities.

No, it\'s not just confidence, as ten is the ceiling normal people could arrive at for the attribute, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a material art, that could arguable be considered the best around the world, him being very strong was now an undeniable fact.

No, it wasn\'t just confidence; ten was the ceiling that normal people should be able reach for the constitution attribute, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is a martial art that could arguably be considered the best in the world.

With these two together, it became an undeniable fact that he was very strong.

But even with all this strength, what could he do? The efforts of one individual looking into something as old as this were not enough, especially in the modern world, which now seemed even scarier after what he had discovered lately.

\'Let\'s focus on the current issue first!\'

Seeing that he had been sidetracked a little, Christian shook his head and thought again about how he could use this picture. But, after careful consideration, he couldn\'t think of anything other than one method, which would require an immense amount of time and labor.

It actually involved looking through all the people who had bought this car, making a list of them, and carefully examining each one while crossing out the unlikely ones and so on.

Even then, Christian felt that this method could also be prone to mistakes, which gave him a headache now.

But while trying to squeeze his brain for ideas, Christian suddenly remembered something he had actually missed and forgotten about.

\'Iris.\'

It was naturally the AI. With its computational power, this kind of task should take a lot less time for it.

\'Is comprehension not helping with my intelligence?\'

While grumbling a little in his mind and shamelessly shifting the blame for forgetting the AI, Christian still felt as if he had caught the rope of success and was naturally happy.

He still hadn\'t caught anyone, but being able to create a list of suspicious people with Iris\'s help was still a step forward after all.

Having sorted out his thoughts and saved the picture, Christian decided to look into the person who had given the command to close the case, as he should also be a lead, and naturally, he hadn\'t forgotten about him.

But after reading the answer he had desperately thought about, he couldn\'t help but frown.

Because there was actually no name at all; it was simply noted that the command came from above. However, how high up exactly was not mentioned.

Feeling stubborn, Christian tried to take this kind of command as a key sign. He looked through other cases with a similar level of confidentiality, hoping to narrow down the possibilities and gain some insight into who it might be.

After searching through several cases, Christian successfully narrowed the range as he had hoped. However, the list of people he arrived at didn\'t provide him with a fulfilling sense of achievement. Instead, he became even more discontent, as the possible suspects should be countable individuals around the country.

As for looking through them? He didn\'t want to, as nothing was certain.

Of course, he also considered that it could be the mistake of the person who wrote the report. However, the way he examined things was the opposite. He looked at when the names of those responsible for cases were written and when they were unwritten, and he didn\'t find any cases with unwritten names that didn\'t seem significant. So, he could be sure of this one.

Raising his head and rubbing his temple a little, as he felt a headache coming on, Christian decided to be satisfied with searching the car owner for now.

Searching through the higher-ups, aside from taking the risks, would only yield the return of just one name. From there, he could possibly try to hack into that person\'s smart phone and other accounts, but those might not have anything useful, as records could be deleted or lost over time. Ultimately, he wouldn\'t be able to find anything.

Actually, even being certain about who was responsible from the higher-ups was difficult as well.

As for questioning him once he got the name? That was out of the question! If he couldn\'t even question a mere police officer, would he be able to question a higher-up? The answer couldn\'t be more obvious.

So, having the knowledge that the culprit responsible for his parents\' death could possibly be linked to a very high-level official from the police or government was enough for now.

After making a decision concerning his future plans regarding his parents\' case, Christian took a couple of minutes to rest. Then, he returned his gaze to the computer screen, wanting to search for information related to the incidents of people going berserk.

He wanted to gather some information about the other side of the world he had no knowledge of, after all.

Browsing through many reports, Christian didn\'t actually find anything new, even now with access to nearly the entire police database. All the reports were the same, an incident occurred, then a mysterious department came, took over the case, and that was the end.

It was all the same with nothing new, as the mysterious department hadn\'t even left a name.

Even then, he discovered something: these incidents had become more frequent lately, or rather, the rate at which they occurred had accelerated in recent years.

"Does that mean there is something occurring around the country? Or even around the world?"

While this thought, which could possibly have serious repercussions, crossed his mind, Christian had no way of affirming his guesses for now.

So, realizing that he actually still hadn\'t found anything significant, he searched a little more in the database, wanting to uncover more about the world, which he now realized he didn\'t know much about.

Fortunately, after spending some time searching, he found something new. It was just a piece of information with no follow-up, but he felt it was more than enough, as simply knowing it had allowed him to confirm many things.

.net

It was actually a case that had also been closed due to a command from the higher-ups, and this time, he got to know the reason.

[Due to the presence of an ancient family with extraordinary power, the case will be transferred.]

It was a simple statement, but Christian learned many things from it and felt unsurprised. After all, given everything he had come to know, it would be even stranger if there weren\'t any extraordinary powers, something supernatural involved.
