Chapter 47: Orphaned Child
Cail tossed the note on the table. It slid to the other side and finally stopped when it was almost falling off the edge.
"This feels like reading a novel only to be slapped with a cliffhanger," he pouted as he continued spinning in the office chair.
He was staring at the ceiling, his mind calming down a bit. He finally managed to realize some disparities.
"Other people have investigated this void rift, right? But why is this office so clean?" Logically, no evidence should be left behind if Cail were in those organizations’ shoes. Information is a good bargaining chip.
At first, he thought that the missing files were taken away, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
He stretched his feet. They were caught by the table leg. He stopped spinning and sat properly. Looking around the room, he guessed, "Maybe the door wasn’t deactivated after all? Maybe my void energy managed to bypass some barrier, just like what I did to the plaza before."
Cail walked toward the door and twisted the knob once again. He didn’t close it, but he just checked if he could open the door via the knob once again.
CLICK CLANK
"Yes, I can still open it," he said as he twisted the knob again and again.
He wanted to leave. He decided to leave the radio and the notebook behind. He closed the door once again, and now hearing it shut, it made a deep echo. Cail had a feeling that opening it once again would not be an easy feat.
Cail’s eyebrows twitched looking at that. "Not my problem anymore." He ignored it as if he wasn’t here a while ago.
