Level up Zombie

Chapter 245  Caught in the act

Approaching the Reborn gate they were able to see Zain standing just outside, usually when they saw this they would let him right in, but this time it was slightly different. He looked at the cameras and could see they were flashing red just like before, so then why hadn't they opened the door straight away?

"This is agent Sid!" A voice was heard through a speaker. "Zain, what happened, why are you alone, where is the rest of your group?"

Now he understood why they were acting slighty strange. Zain was known for coming back with all of his members and this time, he was returning alone.

'Thankfully, it seems like they don't know anything yet.' Zain thought.

"There was trouble on my mission. I think its better if I was to speak inside." Zain stated.

Sid seemed to agree, as the door was open. When walking into the building and through the hallways this time, Zain was on edge. Nervous wasn't the right word, but perhaps if he was a human that would be the feeling.

Entering the main reception area of the hallway, Zain could see the rest of the Reborn were there as usual. A good sign that nothing had happened to them. However, they had also noticed him, and noticed the fact that he was alone as well.

"What is this, did all of Zain's team get wiped?"

"That's never happened before, they had to run into something big then."

"Yeah, but then why does Zain look absoulty fine."

"Well, he always looks fine, he has that super healing thing, remember. Either way, this is a bit worrying for what is happening outside. If this can happen to him, it means that it can happen to any of us as well."

The whispers and rumours didn't stop and Zain could hear it all. As he stood there, two of the highest ranking Reborn members had come toward him.

X looked at Zain from head to toe, and looked at his facial reaction to see if he could understand what happened. Pink, Kun, Kelly, Skittle, those four were always with him, and thought that even a zombie as emotionless as Zain would show some type of expression but it was impossible to tell.

"I think it's best if we talked about what happened with Sarah." Zain suggested. "She would want to know as well, and it saves me from repeating myself."

The other person that had approached Zain was Sid, and looking at X the two of them nodded as they walked to the lab where Sarah would usually be working.

For a while, Zain had been thinking if this was the smart thing to do. Both Sid and X seemed to be quite close to Sarah and were two of the strongest Reborn in the group. The thing was, in the vision she had met the demon alone, so there was a chance that neither of them knew about this either.

So, perhaps he could use these two to also pressure Sarah into telling the truth, or they could turn against him.

Eventually all three of them entered the lab, it looked no different to before, and nothing had changed. There also was no one else inside either. Zain was trying to see if there were any differences within the Reborn group since the demon had visited.

"It seems that you have gotten in quite a bit of trouble this time." Sarah said. "Maybe it's better if we all take a seat."

"It's okay, I'll stand." Zain said, as he moved forward and took a peak at Sid and X, in a way he was telling them not to move closer to him. He liked the position he was in now, not too far away from Sarah and not too close to those behind him.

The two of them got the message loud and clear, and since what happened to him recently they thought he might be a bit on edge and allowed him to have the space.

"We managed to meet with a demon on our way back from the city." Zain explained. "We met them in the subway, but this wasn't just any demon, it was like one that we had never faced before.

"At first, he was just an ordinary man in a military uniform, and then when he transformed he was larger, his skin was harder, his strength was more, and he had hundreds of tentacles on his back that looked like wings."

The best way for one to tell a lie, was always to mix up some truth in the lie, and Zain had done this in order to get a reaction out of Sarah. He thought she might have been able to hide it, but it was impossible for her,.

Her eyes had widened, and her heart was beating somewhat faster.

"A new demon!" Sid said. "This is the first time a report like this has come through. If the rest of your team died… then it must be truly strong, are they evolving like the zombies?"

"The rest of your team, were they really killed by this demon?" X asked. "And… is the demon dead?"

The reaction from the two people, they were different. Sid's reaction was more of what he was expecting, curious about the new demon, while X's question, he had next to no fear as if he knew the demon already existed.

"Yes." Zain answered. "I managed to kill him and there was something else as well Sarah."

There was no reason for Zain to mention the vision he had from the system. He wanted to keep the full extent of the system a secret but he was going to get his answer.

"The demon, he begged me not to kill him, stating that he had a deal. Saying that I should check with you Sarah. Of course, I had no intention of believing him, so I killed him, but tell me, what did he mean by those words, how did a demon know your name?"
