August 29, thursday.
It's already midnight, but there are still places in the capital that's filled with noise and liveliness. Lights in those buildings are still giving people an impression that party just started. People with different clothes, different sexes, different intentions, and different problems. They're all going to those buildings to meet people, to satisfy their desires, or just to drink like retards and dance like mad with the sound of the music. Whatever it is, they chose the wrong night to try all of that.
Behind a bar that's filled with noises, in a corner of the darkalley, the figure of me silently sitting while slowly changing my attire in the darkness would definitely scared the shit of anyone.
"... Well it's a lot better this way." I muttered.
Breathing a sigh, I finished wearing the jacket that I used to wear when I was raiding some gangs a week ago. This brings back some memories for some reasons. And even though just a week passed, I feel like there are already many things that happened that made me feel like its been a really long time.
Standing up, I wore a mask that I randomly bought from a toy store earlier, and tightly held the metal pipe that I picked up here. The bag in my back is hidden with the jacket so it shouldn't really be a problem. After looking around and making sure I didn't forget anything, I slowly walked towards the entrance of the bar.
The parking lot near the bar and everything surrounding it suddenly became silent. As I got closer to the front entrance, I saw dozens of dozens of people lying on the ground unconscious. Side stepping and silently evading them, I step onto the stairs and walked past the sleeping bouncers, and looked around the first floor of the bar.
The whole place is quite dark, except for some colorful blinking lights that's slightly annoying my eyes. The music is also loud, and in the spacious dance floor people are lying unconscious like they're dead. The bartender, the people who was just drinking there liquors and having conversations with the other sex, and those who were sitting in a corner and having fun in their tables--- all of them are now sleeping.
Of course I didn't bother with them.
After looking around, I walked towards the second floor and directly stood in front of a certain room. Without hesitation, I kicked it open and a loud bang was heard! The door slammed, and I calmly entered the room.
There, I found twenty-seven men wearing formal clothes, with shining rings and necklace hanging on their bodies, making them look stupid. The thick smoke that gathers in the room slowly circles in the air, and the annoying smell of tobacco kept assaulting my nose like a fcking pervert. I could also see some women wearing thin and revealing clothing lying on the ground while holding a tray and broken glasses beside them. On the small table, white powder lined perfectly, and some marijuana are lying there like they're ready to be consume. Some drug paraphernalia, some guns, money, cards and small glasses filled with alcohol are also on the table.
Seeing this, I smiled and felt like a kid that just finished a quest after repeatedly getting a game over.
Immediately, I carried the hot ladies out of the room and gently put them on the first floor. Then I came back to that room and closed the door. Of course with my kick earlier, it wont. But I thought, at least it could act as a cover.
Looking at these fckers who's sleeping like babies, I clicked my tongue slightly and started preparing.
Taking out a black ball that's as huge as a fist, I used my mental energy and feed it with it as much as it wants. When I finally felt the connection become more clearer and it stopped sucking my mental energy, I slowly let it go, and it floated silently. Then, with the power of Gluttony, I chanted words while circulating my Qi and slowly feeding it to my Inner Devil. As I do all this, I made sure I'm properly wearing the gloves, and slowly taking out a kitchen knife I took in my kitchen.
Walking to the nearest man, who's wearing a sleeveless shirt with tattoos all over his arm up to his chest, I adjusted his posture so I could easily see his whole upper body. When its done, I slowly lifted my hand that's holding the knife, and with a force, I stabbed the man in the chest!
A soft thud sound was then heard.
As I continue chanting the words, I could feel the knife slowly burying itself towards the man's heart. The feeling of his broken ribs as it scratches the knife as it try to prevent it getting deeper, the muscles and meat that would have been difficult to stab without an appropriate force, the blood that kept flowing and tainting the ground dark red--- it was really disturbing. Specially since I could see the face of the man closely while its sleeping and twisting in pain. But no matter what he does, he couldn't wake up or even make a sound.
When I saw that the blood flowing more easily, I willed the black ball to come close to this man's chest. And as I continue with the chanting of words, the black ball that touched the bloody chest started moving closer to the wound I created. Then, slowly, with my clear connection with it, I could feel it absorbing the blood essence and life essence of the man. Looking outside though, it looks like an ordinary ball that soaked with blood.
To be honest at first I was expecting some kind of lights, some magic circle, or formation and etc. But nothing happened. From the very start to this current situation, if one looked at it in a third person perspective, except for the floating ball, nothing mind blowing really happened. Which, to be honest, quite disappointing for some reason.
Anyway, as the black ball absorb the man's blood and life essence, except for the man's slowly getting paler and drying skin, there's nothing much of a difference when he was still alive. By the time I felt the ball fully absorbed everything, I immediately willed it and moved to another man.
In this cycle, I continued chanting soft words as I moved and stabbed different men. The black ball would then absorb their blood and life essences, and continue killing them one by one until all twenty-seven became nothing but lifeless bloody meat.
The moment I was done, the originally messy room, became even more horrifying. At this time, some parts of my jacket and pants are already soaked with blood. My hands, my mask, my shoes--- looking at the broken mirror that I accidentally broke earlier while moving around, I could see my bloody reflection standing with a knife and a metal pipe. The scene looks like it came straight from a horror movie.
Shaking my head, I stopped looking at the mirror and shifted my gaze towards the floating black ball. Lifting my hand, it slowly landed on my palm. Looking for a clean cloth, I walked closer to the window and used the curtain to remove the blood on its surface. A couple seconds later, the black ball became a little bit more cleaner. There, from the originally pure black ball, a small firefly like light can now be seen on its center.

The amusing thing is, no matter which side I looked, and no matter how much I rolled it again and again, the firefly like light would always remain it the center of the ball.
Grinning slightly, I quietly hid the black ball and got out of the bar.
Running to the maze like darkalley, I looked for a place to stay for a couple of minutes.
-------
Inside of an apartment that I trespassed without a thought, I finished my bath and walked to different rooms to look for new clothes to wear. After that, I checked all the things I have and the things that I might need, then made sure that everything was fine before getting out of the apartment using the window I previously used. Of course, since I trespassed this house and took some clothes and shoes, I decided to leave a few thousands as a payment.
Minutes later, I walked out of the dark alley and decided to walk beside the road.
Looking at the clock of my phone, I could see that its already 1am. It means, it should be August 30 now.
While walking beside the road, except for the occasional lights from the street lights, the road is mostly quiet and dark. Even so, I continued walking until a light and a booming sound traveled from the other side towards my direction. Seeing this, I narrowed my eyes and looked at it more carefully.
Its a blue motorbike with a man driving it.
"Finally.." I muttered softly.
Standing in the middle of the road, I blocked his path and waited for the man to stop in front of me. And like what I thought, he stopped and looked at me weirdly. I didn't bother explaining though. Walking closer to him, I could see his face tense up a little bit, but I continued walking.
"Sorry, but can you take me to Lancaster Place?" I said while smiling politely.
"I, no, sorry I don't where that is." he said while smiling bitterly and trying to position himself so he could move and act when shit went down.
This kind of attitude is normal, specially if someone met a stranger in the middle of an empty neighborhood, and talked to him politely for some unknown reasons. But I didn't care, and just took out fifteen thousand peso.
"Ten thousand for bringing me there. Five thousand for the gas." I said flatly with a smile.
The man looked at me with wide eyes, and after a couple seconds, he nodded his head and agreed. Taking the money and putting it on his pocket, we then drove in the darkness with a--- slow, fcking, speed.
While sitting behind him, I couldn't help but frown and ask.
"Can we get faster?"
Right now, I feel like a random old man is giving me piggyback ride, instead of a fcking motorbike.
In the end, I told him to get down and let me drive. Even though I don't know how to drive a car, I at least know how to ride a bike. So we change seats, and I immediately tried to increase the speed to an optimum. As I do that, I could feel the wind slammed to my body as it make sounds like it was howling. The man in my back is also whimpering for some reason, but for now, because my mind is currently occupied with a lot of stuff, I didn't mind.
With me driving, it only took me almost twenty minutes to arrived in my destination. Coming down of the bike, I then smiled and told him he could go. While I was driving earlier, I felt like there are some police following us, so I hurried him to get the fck away from me in a most polite voice I can. As he turned around and shows his unguarded back, I swiftly touched his head and used the the power of Greed and deleted some of non important memories. For example, my face, height, my body structure, or even my gender. Since these aren't considered important, and it only happened recently, there wont be any problem even if a newbie like me erased some of his memories.
Standing a few blocks away from a tall condominium building, the Lancaster Place, I slowly put my mask and boldly walked to its entrance door. But when I arrived there, I noticed that its a secured door that only the people living there could enter and go out. Since that's the case, I used my mental sense and spread it to more than hundred meters enveloping some parts of the condominium. Then all the people thats within that hundred meters, I ordered all of them to come down and come out in the entrance.
For the first couple minutes, no one came down. I understand that, that's why even though its kinda bad, I used some force and made them come down and obey me. It didn't take long for those people to come down and get out like I ordered. All of them are confused with some of them holding their heads with a little bit tears on their eyes. Even though I feel a little bit sorry, I didn't bother for now and made them all sleep with my mental suppression, and with the additional power of Sloth, all of them fell asleep in a most efficient and safe manner.
Riding the elevator, I went to one of the highest floor of this building and immediately walked towards a certain door. Using my mental sense, I quietly unlocked the door and entered it without alarming the neighboring people. Inside is a spacious and beautifully design living room. Sitting on a couch are seven men laughing and talking happily. Looking at them while comparing their appearance to the one in my mind, I smiled and is finally sure that I didn't waste time by coming here.
Walking to their direction, I calmly said "hi" and sat beside them. Because of the suddenness of the situation, all of them are shock and probably didn't know how to react, that's why they only looked at me silently. After a few seconds, all of them stood up and immediately moved away from me. At the same time, they all pulled out their guns and glared at me like a beast.
"Who're you?" ask the skinny guy, and the most normal looking person of their group.
Instead of answering them, I used my mental sense and looked every part of this condominium. But after a while, I didn't find the one I'm looking for. Since that's the case, I don't really have much use for these fckers.
"I ask you, who the fck are you?" ask the skinny guy with a slightly irritated voice.
Looking at them, I couldn't help but frown.
These fckers has even have the guts to shout just because they're a little bit irritated in front of me. Right now I'm having an urge to murder a lot of people, but did I ever shout or scream like that? These fckers didn't have that rights. Specially in front of me.
Seeing me not answering all of them are now preparing to attack, and the skinny guy is about to blow up. But before they could all do that, I silently enveloped them with my mental sense and used a little suppression. Then with a calm voice, I asked the thing that's been bothering me since yesterday when I started this hunt.
However, they didn't answer and just looked at me with a weird light in their eyes.
"Why does everyone wanted die these days?" I whispered while slightly rolling my eyes.
Since that's the case, using my mental strength and a hint of Sloth, I made them sleep peacefully. I then started my interrogations. Well, even though I said that, its mostly me reading their minds using Greed. After I do that, I would wake them up one by one and ask them some questions. If they didn't answer and acted tough, I'll break their bones, if they did, I'll again read their minds to know if they're telling the truth. If they didn't, I'll increase their pain sensitivity and doubled their torture, if they did, I'll ask them again and made sure that I didn't forget anything important.
An hour and a half later, all the people in the room are dead, except for one.
The living room is already bloody, and the bodies of the other six are currently missing parts or just full of different cuts and holes. There are even parts that looks like it was burned. This place shouldn't be called living room anymore, but a "dead room" instead.
Holding the head of the last guy, the skinny guy, I dragged him on the floor and walked towards the sofa. I then sat there and slowly lifted the head. Looking at it in the eyes, I smiled.
Even though I'm trying to calm my breathing, my anger and frustrations kept building up. The weird thing is, even though thats the case, my mind is still clear and fresh. Still, the anger in me is real, and it could be proven by me losing control of my strength and killing most of them in an unexpected and horrible way possible.
Looking at the bloody face of this skinny guy, I again asked the question.
The question that I've been asking them and a lot of people these past two days. A simple question that these pieces of shit should have answered from the start.
"Where is Jenny?"
