[VRMMO] Dead One Chapter 785 - 786 – Top Hat

(What the hell is going on here?) – thought GreyHunt as he started looking around himself, realizing he was in so sort of busy city streets, as countless number of people were walking around.

(Where the hell am I? I’ve tried to chase after the Murder.... But was I teleported sowhere else again?)

"..."

"Hey. Seven." – said GreyHunt.

"That bloodlust... Do you feel it again?"

"..."

"?"

"Hey seven!" – said GreyHunt as he lifted up his gun.

"?!"

"Seven?" – however, upon closer inspection, GreyHunt quickly realized sothing... His gun [Arch Devil Seven] wasn’t really... Alive anymore.

"!?"

(Wait, what.... No...)

"..."

(He is not dead.)

(More like.... This isn’t him?)

(...No wait... Why is nobody reacting to pulling out a gun in the middle of the street?!) – thought GreyHunt as he quickly hid his revolver.

"..."

(Or more exactly.... Why is nobody reacting to ?) – thought GreyHunt as he realized that all the people on the streets were humans.

Regular humans.

Citizens.

(I’m a fucking demonic human! A shady guy with weird appearance! So-)

"So, I’ve had been saying, we should probably try and add the different product." – said the tall man who walked right into him GreyHunt, bumping into his shoulder.

However, upon the direct contact, GreyHunt wasn’t touched... Or more exactly, he phased through the man that walked past GreyHunt.

"What the..." – GreyHunt tried grabbing the man who he just bumped into, but his hand just phased through him, while the man himself was completely unbothered... Or more exactly, completely unbothered one bit by what just happened.

GreyHunt started trying to reach for different people around him, but each ti there was the sa result.

No matter what he did, he could not physically interact with anybody.

*Inhale*

"HEY!" – shouted GreyHunt on top of his lungs.

"..."

"..."

"No reaction even to this?" – said GreyHunt.

(So, is it like one of those visions things? Like I’m here to see-)

"!"

"WRATH!"

"SLOTH!"

"IS THIS YOUR DOING!?"

"..."

(No reaction again?!)

(Or maybe they are here!)

(Shit!)

(According to ClownFrog, he experienced sothing similar himself, when Sloth was telling him the story about Caliburn!)

"..."

(No... Sothing ca OUT from that hat!)

(Does that an that the Forgotten item had did that?!)

(BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!)

"..."

(Wait... They are.... They are speaking English!) – thought GreyHunt as he started listening to the conversation between the people, realizing that everybody around him was speaking English.

(....These clothing... )

(Old.... But not enough....)

(...)

(Is it 19 century?)

(By any chance... No.)

(This is really it.)

(The story of the Forgotten item....)

(This is the story of the Forgotten Murder?!)

"!"

As GreyHunt was currently analyzing his situation, he suddenly saw an odd figure in the distance.

The Forgotten Murder.

"!"

"You!" – GreyHunt instantly gave chase to the Forgotten being who was standing in the middle of the crowd.

"What the hell are you playing here at!?" – asked GreyHunt as he started getting closer to the Murder who this ti stood in place, not even attempting to walk away.

"I’m sorry Lucy. But there is nothing I can do." – said the man that walked out of the shop.

"There is no need to worry Egbert." – said the woman that suddenly appeared in the place of the Forgotten Murder, while the Forgotten beings itself disappeared in front of GreyHunt.

In the place of the Forgotten being stood a woman, a humble looking woman, a one with long brown hair, who wearing sowhat decent clothing, but nothing too fancy.

"It isn’t just recently, Marcel and few others are also having so trouble with their deliveries... There is good chance that sothing maybe going on outside."

*Sigh*

"Nothing we can do about this... Still, thanks for trying." – said the woman as she turned around and tried walking away.

However, the instant the mont turned around, GreyHunt saw her face.

A beautiful face.

Her face did caught GreyHunt off guard... But what caught his attention more than her appearance were her eyes.

They were bright green.

"..."

"Am I supposed to fallow her?" – asked GreyHunt as he started walking behind the woman.

GreyHunt fallowed the woman through the busy streets that were filled to the brim with people... But as the woman continued walking and interacting with so random people along the way, the scenery around started changing more and more.

"Sup Lucy." – said the man smoking a cigar.

"Hey... Julian..." – replied the beautiful woman nad Lucy.

"..."

"I guess you didn’t had any luck either?" - asked the man nad Julian.

"No... It is not like they are not selling it; they just don’t have it." – replied Lucy.

"And all of them are saying the sa thing that sothing maybe going on outside?" – asked Julian.

"Yeah.... So even says that the food isn’t the only problem."

"Tch!" – the man instantly looked extrely pissed off.

"It must be that new London’s doing again."

"Julian... We can’t be-"

"How can we not be sure!?" – asked pissed off man.

"Lately there had been noticeable amount of problems arising here and there nonstop."

"And from we know? The new London have no problem whatsoever!"

"Nobody have fucking evidence, but everybody knows that it is them!"

"..."

"Julian... Please." – said Lucy.

"...I’m sorry." - said the man as he started calming down.

"It’s just.... Fuck... Those bastard really enjoy us suffer... So honestly..."

"I know what you an." – said Lucy.

"But at the sa ti, we cannot just blindly point fingers or we will just start doing stupid shit."

"But it is a second day already!" – said the man as he started getting pissed off again.

"There is just no bloody way that.... Ah, never mind." – said the man as put out his cigar.

"I’m just going to find out myself what is going on."

"See ya Lucy." – said the man as he walked past the woman.

"..."

The woman continued walking down the road... And so did GreyHunt who stalked the woman.

(The atmosphere definitely changed.... There are noticeable less amount of people in here....) – thought GreyHunt.

(However, what did that man just said?)

(The New London?) – thought GreyHunt as he fallowed behind the woman, who continued eting so random won as she continued walking forward.

And after the while, the woman finally stopped, upon reaching her destination.

"!?"

"Wait a bloody mont." – said GreyHunt as he stood in front of the massive building.

A building that GreyHunt instantly recognized.

(This is the building where I fought the Murder!)

(But... It looks fine.)

(It doesn’t looks like is abandoned or anything!)

"!"

"Lucy! Lucy!" – said the kid near the building entrance as the young boy rushed towards the woman and hugged her.

"Hey David." – said Lucy as she patted the young boy on his head.

"Is everything alright? Where is the rest of your crew?"

"Oh! They are helping out Eli! She wanted sobody to help her out with sothing." – replied the boy.

"Is that so? But she didn’t brough you?" – asked Lucy.

"!"

"Em... I.... Em..."

"..."

"You ran away, didn’t you?" – asked Lucy as the young boy was trying to avoid answering the woman’s question.

"..."

*Sigh*

"Look. You can’t be lazy all the ti." – said Lucy as she grabbed the boy’s shoulder.

"Eli already did a lot of things to us, and we need to repay her."

"You also own her.... So please... Go back and apologize."

"...I understand...." – said the boy who walked away.

"David. It is in other direction. Don’t try to sneak away now." – said Lucy as she realized that the young boy was trying to run away.

"I’m going to visit Eli later on, so I will know either way if you did your work or not."

"!"

The boy in panic run in the correct direction this ti in order to try and not piss off the beautiful woman.

"..."

*Sigh*

(I think I really need to have talk with him later about his tendency of running away from work.) – thought Lucy.

"!?"

(Wait, am I hearing her thoughts right now?!) – thought GreyHunt as the woman in front of him headed towards the door, before then entering the building, causing GreyHunt to quickly rush after the woman and phase through the doors, making the man find himself alongside the woman in what appears to be in sowhat fancy lobby, which at the sa ti appeared sowhat... Poor.

After entering the building, the woman instantly encounter so random children playing around and running through the halls.

"Run! He is going to catch us!" – said the cheerful girl as a group of children ran away while the teenager boy gave chase.

"I’m going to catch you and eat you!" – said the teenager boy that gave chase.

While the children were running around, the woman just calmly walked through the lobby, before then entering the corridors, where the woman started encountering more and more children, as well as so teenagers and adult while exploring the corridors of the building.

"..."

(I thought this was a hotel at first... But from what I’m getting here at... Most people here appears to be children.) – thought GreyHunt as Lucy was traversing the corridors.

(Does that an this place is an orphanage?)

*Knock* *Knock*

"Miss Margaet. It’s . Can I co in?" – asked Lucy as she was knocking at one of the doors.

"Coming." – said the sowhat elderly woman voice as in the next mont, sobody opened the door from inside for the young woman.

"!?"

As the doors opened, GreyHunt spotted the elderly looking woman with grey hair and black eyes, supporting herself with a cane... However, what caught GreyHunt’s attention was the visible massive burn scar that spread across the entire upper left side of the woman’s face.

"Please... Co in." – said the elderly woman nad miss Margaet.
