Kun gulped upon hearing Zain's words.
"I'm guessing they didn't tell you that demons could disguise themselves as humans," Zain asked.
Kun nodded, "They didn't."
"It was quite a disgusting thing. The Creature was wearing human skin, but it looked human-like when it came out. If that's the case, then we need to be more careful with who we interact with from now on. The only information we have is the fact that they come out at night.
"I wonder if that still applies if the Demon wears human skin." Zain laid out his doubts.
Then he went on to tell Kun everything he witnessed in the footage. Honestly, it was a shame that he couldn't just show the video to Kun. Either way, he had gotten the gist of the horror and power of a Demon. In the end, there was only one Demon, but everyone was helpless against it.
Hearing Zain's words, Kun actually felt less guilty. Even if he was there, he knew that it wouldn't have made a difference, but he wondered if the same could be said for Zain. After seeing Zain defeat the Titan and Cobra's gang, the latter seemed like the type of person who could get out of any situation.
On the other hand, there was something else that also surprised Zain. After watching the video clip and fully digesting the brain, a notification appeared from the System.
[+ 1 Intelligence]
[Intelligence: 1>>2]
[Your mind grows stronger]
[Your body functionality will deteriorate at a slower rate.]
Gaining a stat without levelling up was a big bonus, and after seeing the strength of the Demon, he knew that he would need more stats.
'The video is saved in the System, and I can access it at any time. That's good, not that I think I will need it.' Zain thought. 'With the Demon, now there are two powerful enemies who can most likely defeat me with ease. I need to get stronger as fast as I can so when I go against any of them, I can at least hold my ground.'
Thinking about the Stage 2 creature that he had lost to in the training room and now the Demon, Zain's fingers were twitching slightly, and he started to think. What would he do if this was a game-like situation?
'',
After getting an idea, he headed out of the room and went towards Fingers. Kun also got up and quickly followed him out of the room to see him use the dagger once again to crack open another Skull.
"Is there really any point in doing that?" Kun asked. "I mean, I doubt whatever you saw from Shark's memories will be different from theirs."
"You never know," Zain replied as he chewed on it.
The truth was, he was hoping for another stat increase by consuming the brain and increasing the intelligence stat. Once he finished consuming the brain, Fingers memories appeared in front of him on a screen and got saved in the System, just like Shark's.
He quickly went through them, but there was nothing new apart from realising that Fingers was a creepy guy who liked to touch things and would frequently glance at Pink from time to time.
However, unlike before, Zain didn't receive any stat points for consuming the brain.
'Is it only certain members of the Reborn group? Or is it more like an Exp thing? But if that was the case, the System would have shown something. It was for Sword Mastery and my Exp, so it wouldn't make sense for the rest.'
There was one more brain to eat, and that was Jelly's. If eating Fingers' brain did nothing, then Zain didn't have high hopes for eating Jelly's brain, but perhaps there was someone that could benefit from it.
After taking out Jelly's brain, he went on to hand it out to Skittle, who grabbed it. He wasn't sure if this would work but just said the words "Eat!" out loud, and thankfully it seemed like Skittle knew what to do with it.
After Skittle finished eating the brain, Zain heard the familiar notification sound in his ears, and a System screen appeared in front of him.
[A member of your Horde has increased a stat]
[+ 1 Intelligence]
'It words. But it looks like if Skittle eats the brain, I won't have access to the footage in the System, but I already knew what happened, and Jelly just stands by the door all day. Hopefully, this means Skittle will start to fight a bit better and will begin to gain his own intelligence back.'
Zain realised that the Undead horde that he had so far created didn't just follow commands that the System allowed it to. When he communicated with Cobra, the latter could move freely and understood things much more easily compared to Skittle.
He could only assume this was because of the intelligence stat.
"Why did you do that?" Kun asked.
"I.. I'm trying to train them." Zain answered and said nothing else as he continued to check out the rest of his stats on the screen. While in the middle of doing this, a light bulb moment came for Kun.
'',
"Wait a second, didn't you say Pink ran into the Kitchen?… Then she should still be there!" Kun almost shouted, and without waiting for a response, he ran towards the Kitchen.
Zain followed behind him. Pink was probably the person he liked the second most out of the Reborn group. She seemed like she could easily be influenced to do things, and that's what Zain needed: people that could follow his direction and orders.
Upon entering the Kitchen, Kun went up to the barricaded emergency exit, but there were no signs of damage. Zain had checked the area but didn't really think much, but now after seeing the footage from Shark, he figured she had to be in here.
That's when Kun stopped and could see that part of the vent had been ripped off.
"Did…she go through there?" Kun guessed.
Due to it being a kitchen, the ventilation system actually passed through the floor of the Club and went up to the Club's roof. From the apartment building, Zain hadn't seen anything, but it was hard to see the entire terrace.
Kun looked like he was ready to climb up when he heard a bang. Looking to his right, he saw Zain had just kicked the back door breaking the barrier.
"I think this is a bit easier, and there is no need for us to be careful anymore. I plan to leave this place. Of course, I'll give you the option again. You can either stay here or leave with me." Zain said, walking through the barrier towards a ladder that led to the rooftop.
"Arghh, of course, I'm going to stay with you, you crazy Bast*rd!" Kuns said, running after Zain.
While climbing the ladder, a new quest appeared.
