This feeling he had experienced countless times
The feeling of being watched
But he decided to ignore this feeling, waiting for the right opportunity to catch his target
He could not make any suspicious movements that might alert his prey that he had been discovered
He would occasionally stretch his body or tilt his head to the side so he could get a quick look at the location where the feeling was coming from.
After continuing this for four hours, he was finally able to pinpoint the area where he suspected the target was hiding
There was a group of trees and bushes on both sides of the road, and his target was hiding in one of these bushes
But he did not discover any suspicious movements from there, which made him suspect that this person was a professional and knew what he was actually doing
If it were not for Alexander's instinct, honed through years of experience, he would not have been able to discover him
Alexander had more opportunity to look at that place when Elizabeth and her companions came
He stood at an angle that would allow him to better survey that area
But his attention was drawn to a small bird that was standing on a branch
It looked like a normal bird, but it was looking directly in Alexander's direction
Alexander realized that the person he had been looking for all along did not exist
Because that bird was the one who had been watching him the whole time
So Alexander tried to catch that bird with everything he could
But he failed as a result of the falcon's intervention at the critical moment
Alexander stood looking up at the sky in the direction the falcon was flying
He had to face this shocking truth
There was someone from the Metamorphosis' path who was watching him

Jeff entered the investigation room carrying a laptop
Jeff placed the computer on the table and sat down in front of Alexander
"Are you telling me that a bird was spying on you?" Kelly asked unconvinced. "Haven't you found a better story than this?"

Kelly looked at Jeff to confirm her words so she could mock Alexander
"He's telling the truth..." Jeff answered with difficulty
"Haha, you see—" Kelly stopped and turned her gaze back to Jeff. "He was telling the truth?"
Jeff didn't speak and instead opened a video on the computer
Kelly watched the video silently
The video was from surveillance cameras that captured the intense chase that took place and how the little bird was evading Alexander's attacks with unusual skill.
" this?!." Kelly opened her mouth in shock
She couldn't believe Alexander's story
Alexander told them that a bird was spying on him
They doubted his words at first and thought that Alexander was trying to get away with it after causing so many accidents.
But after Jeff returned to the surveillance cameras, it turned out that everything Alexander said was true
"This is not a normal bird at all." This is what Jeff came up with after replaying this video several times
"What do you think is the reason for this bird behaving like this?" Alexander asked
He couldn't tell them directly what he knew because that would put him under suspicion. So, he decided to use the 'lead the donkeys to the road' strategy.
That is why he planned to throw some clues in front of them and enter into a discussion to lead them to the correct answer without saying it directly, and thus he would make them believe that they were the ones who reached this conclusion themselves.
"There's only one explanation for this…" Kelly's eyes became serious
Alexander's eyes lit up when he saw that Kelly had come up with an idea
"It must be someone who has the ability to disguise himself as a small bird."
"..." What's inside this girl's head?
Jeff shook his head at Kelly's words
But he didn't speak either because he was still thinking about why this bird was able to avoid Alexander's attack
"Don't you think the possibility of someone with the ability to control animals or monsters seems more plausible?" Alexander threw the answer before them in the form of a possibility
Jeff nodded with some realization on his face. "That makes more sense."
"I still think my idea makes more sense." Kelly frowned
"..." Alexander decided to ignore Kelly and focus his attention on the only sane person in this place
"The only people who would target you at a time like this would be this organization." Jeff presented his ideas and is still trying to extract more
It seems I can rely on this man... Alexander nodded, because that's what he thinks too
Kelly sent Alexander a strange look. "Do you like eating birds?"
Alexander blinked several times in confusion, unable to understand the meaning of this question, but he answered. "Yes, I think so..."
"What if that person belongs to an organization that defends birds and they target people who like to eat birds?"
"..." I give up, this girl is dumber than donkeys
Alexander returned his attention to Jeff. "Does this organization have people who can control monsters?"
"I don't know..." Jeff shook his head
"You don't know?" Alexander was perplexed
"We don't have much information about this organization."
"So what is the name of this organization?"
Alexander was not previously interested in this criminal organization at all
It is possible to see organizations in all worlds
Some of them are evil organizations whose goal is to achieve the interests of their members only at the expense of the world, while there are organizations that protect others from dangers, and there are revolutionary organizations against the authority of that world.
Even in his world, which was almost devoid of any manifestations of supernatural power, such organizations existed
Like the Order of the Black Eagle that was in the Kingdom of Prussia
Or the Mithraists from the Middle East, who were like a nightmare that haunted him for a long time
He believed that the organization that the empire was fighting fell under the classification of local criminal organizations that did illegal things such as slave trade, drugs, and others.
But he was wrong
This world was isolated from the rest of the worlds
So where did this person following the Metamorphosis' path come from?
There are two explanations for this: that person came from another world, or that he learned this from someone else
There was another possibility, but it was unlikely, which was the involvement of people from the Church of Reincarnation
Alexander spontaneously remembered the garden behind the Ford family mansion
This world was not as easy as he thought
How many years has passed since his death?
It seems that changes have occurred during his absence, including a change in this world, Who was no longer the same world he read about in the records
The longer Alexander thought, the more upset he became
"I can't tell you the name of the organization. But don't worry, we won't let them get to you." Jeff reassured him when he saw Alexander's bad face
"Yes..." Alexander answered coldly
He didn't trust the Empire much because they didn't know their enemy well
How will they face them then?
All he can rely on is himself
"The investigation is over. I advise you to return to your apartment directly, and contact us if you suspect anything."
Alexander got up and headed to the door
"Oh, I almost forgot..." Jeff pointed to Alexander. "There are some of your friends waiting for you elsewhere."
" friends?." Alexander raised an eyebrow
"Seraphina Midgar and her companions."
Did they follow me all the way?... Alexander narrowed his eyes
"Do you want me to tell them that you are not in a good state to meet them?" Jeff knew that Alexander did not want to meet Seraphina and her friends from the annoyed expression on his face
"I would be grateful if you would take care of them." Alexander went out and closed the door
