Monster Paradise - Chapter 100

Chapter 100

The monitor room of the Demonic Crystal Spaceship was about 100 square meters, it was occupied by a semi-circle shaped workstation . Aside from a couple of buttons, there were hundreds of projection crystals connected to the surveillance devices on the workstation .

It was showing a video of a corridor .

Lin Huang walked as fast as he could to the station, Chen Wei then pressed the play button . The video played; Lin Huang recognized the corridor on the seventh floor . He recognized it from the different pictures that were hung on the wall .

About half a minute after the video was played, everyone saw Lin Xin’s open her room door . She walked towards the floating elevator and the surveillance camera lost track of her for awhile .

"This is the video showing your sister leaving her room at 5:03 p . m . . " Chen Wei said and showed Lin Huang the second video . The second video began from the moment Lin Xin walked into the floating elevator . He played the video . Lin Xin pressed the button, leading her to the first floor and throughout the entire journey, nobody else entered the elevator .

"The time here shows 5:04 p . m . . " Chen Wei said . "Since she went to the first floor, we looked at the surveillance cameras on the first floor and we found her in a couple of surveillance videos .

Chen Wei played another video which showed Lin Xin exiting the floating elevator . There were a few people waiting at the entrance . One of them was a middle-aged man in a white shirt, he glanced at Lin Xin as she walked out .

Lin Huang frowned and asked Chen Wei, "Which room is that man in white shirt staying in?"

"He’s staying on the ninth floor, from what we know, he’s harmless . " Chen Wei assured Lin Huang .

Lin Huang did not want to overthink things and proceeded to ask them about the next video .

"The third surveillance camera is located outside the bar on the first floor . " Chen Wei played another video .

In the video, Lin Xin contemplated a few times outside the premises, unsure if she should enter the bar or not . She finally walked in but left after a very short while .

"Seems like the bar owner did not lie, she left the bar in less than a minute . " One of the security personnel who followed Lin Huang to the bar made a remark .

"So where did she go after she left the bar?" Lin Huang asked anxiously .

"We saw from the camera that she walked around the hall on the first floor . She brought some snacks but she disappeared after she walked into a blind spot which the surveillance camera could not capture at about 5:40 p . m . "

That was the last video, it was taken at the cutoff point between the two stores . Lin Huang stared at the video for a couple of minutes, there was no sign of Lin Xin at all . A few people went to the same direction with rubbish in their hands and left without it afterward .

"There’s a rubbish bin at the blind spot . We didn’t think anybody would want to steal a rubbish bin so we did not install a surveillance camera there . That’s our mistake…" Chen Wei explained .

"Wait, there was a girl who would look in that direction occasionally . Did she see something?" Lin Huang pointed at the location opposite the camera to a girl who looked the same age as Lin Xin . She sat on the bench and she had ponytails . The girl had a drink in her hands .

Lin Huang continued to play the video . 10 minutes later, the girl went to the rubbish bin to throw the empty can away and left immediately after .

"Please bring me to this location . " Lin Huang proceeded to say, "Also, please get the girl in the video for me . I need to talk to her . "

"Sure, we will get her for you, since there aren’t many clues left . " Chen Wei agreed with Lin Huang .

A few minutes later, the two security personnel brought Lin Huang to the location where Lin Xin was last seen before she went missing . This time, Lin Huang did not only activate Blood Hunt, maximizing his ability to smell while activating Boundless Vision at the same time . His iris turned into an amber color like a falcon's eyes .

There were two full, green leather rubbish bins that were half the size of a human at the blind spot . Lin Xin’s scent disappeared next to the rubbish bin . It was different from the scent back in the bar where it was fading because her scent disappeared abruptly right here . Lin Huang frowned and looked around, he pushed Boundless Vision to its peak but he could not find a thing .

Just when he was trying to figure out what he missed, a fat lady came along with a bag of rubbish . She seemed to be a merchant nearby . She was upset because the bins were full . She shouted at the security personnel, "I thought you would've added one more rubbish bin here today, why are there only two left? These rubbish bins are overflowing with rubbish . They aren’t pleasing to the eyes?"

"Sister, we are just security personnel . What can we do with that…" One of them said .

"So who should I talk to then?" She didn’t let him finish .

Lin Huang heard the conversation and turned around to ask, "Sister, you said there were three rubbish bins here?"

"I think it was 5:40 p . m . , I had just finished eating my take-out and came here to throw the food container away . It's only been half an hour and it’s gone now . That’s strange, was there someone who stole the rubbing bin?" The time she stated matched the time when Lin Xin went missing .

"Sister, did you see a girl who was 13 or 14-years-old here?" Lin Huang asked .

"I see so many girls every day, how can I remember?" The fat lady rolled her eyes . Just as she was getting ready to leave, she turned around, "I know about the girl you're talking about… I recall a girl in ponytails sitting there with a drink in the afternoon . "

The lady pointed to the direction where the girl in the video sat at .

"Thank you sister . "
