God of Tricksters

Chapter 1245 Story

As soon as they reached the affected area, Theo could see numerous people sitting down on the ground with sad faces. Obviously, they didn’t know anything about this phenomenon.

Even Theo could come up with a few theories, such as someone breaking the Order and the monsters being forced to fight back. However, he couldn’t understand why there was a picture of the Dark King.

So, he thought there was something more to this. He planned to check it thoroughly before making any conclusion.

“Here you go.” Stella smiled, handing a box filled with food, water, and other necessities to a refuge.

Patrick and Ergene, along with a few other volunteers from the Star Group, did the same. On the other side, Rea did all the paperwork, making sure that the help went to the right people.

Unlike her, Isaac was going around to check the condition of the Magic Power with his skill. Of course, Coline was there to protect him in case there was a stray powerful monster that attacked them.

Last but not least, Aisha was treating the injuries with her healing power. There might be some desperate people, so Theo asked Ryo to accompany her. He couldn’t hurt anyone, so he was the perfect person for this job.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you.” The person she helped thanked her and left the tent.

After that, another person came in and started telling her about the injuries.

Soon, she realized something and asked, “So, you were at the site when everything happened?” Aisha widened her eyes in surprise. She had been tasked by Theo to heal them while gathering information.

“Yeah, it was a nightmare.”

“Can you tell me more about it?” Aisha smiled and started talking to distract the person’s attention from the wounds like a doctor.

…

Two days ago.

It was a clear night without any clouds. He could clearly see the full moon in the sky.

As a normal worker, he had just come back after pulling overtime.

“This is too much. They didn’t pay me that much during the day, and the overtime bonus was less than I expected… Should I find another job soon?” The man let out a long sigh while raising his head, looking at the sky as if he was considering his complaint seriously.

However, he gasped when he saw a huge crack in the sky as if they were inside a screen.

“What is that?” The man dropped to his butts. His office was close to the teleportation circle, so he could clearly see the crack spreading in the sky above the circle. “What is going on?”

His shout disturbed other people on the street as they couldn’t help but look at him with curiosity before following his line of sight.

Like him, they froze upon finding a huge crack in the sky.

He felt chills down his spine as he started shouting. “Wait, we need to call the police!”

When he looked at the people, they took out their Skylinks, not to call the police but to record the phenomenon as if they were only interested in getting something cool on their social page.

“What the hell?” The man panicked. He also felt the urge to take the picture but still called the police emergency service.

Unfortunately for him, there was only one sentence he got.

“Your call will be put in the voice mail.”

“What the hell? What’s wrong with the police? Can they do their jobs properly? No, wait. Many people must be seeing this and reporting it to the police.” The man felt a bit relieved that there were still some sane people.

“Should I go back or record this as well?” The man hesitated, and another thought appeared in his mind. He called his home.

“Hey, are you on the way now? I’m still waiting for you.”

“Sorry, but I just want to make sure you’re safe.”

“What’s wrong?”

“The sky cracks… And that crack is expanding. I don’t know babe… Let me show you.” The man pointed his camera to the sky.

“You’re not joking?”

“That’s the proof babe. The others are also recording this. Maybe, the news has spread.”

“Where are you right now? You should come back.”

“I know, I know. But this is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. I’m wondering if I should go back or stay here until everything is gone.”

“You should go back. I know that you’re curious about it, but won’t it be the same if you see the news later? There might be explanations about it later.”

“That’s true.”

“But if you’re that curious, I guess I can allow you to stay there for another five minutes to record it. Promise me to go back after that, okay?”

“Of course. Thank you, babe.”

“You’re—”

Her voice abruptly stopped before he heard something fall to the ground.

“Babe? What’s wrong? Babe?”

No matter how hard he called her, there was no response. He instantly panicked as all his thoughts were to return to his house to check the condition of his girlfriend.

However, the moment he turned around and started running to get a taxi, he heard a woman’s scream.

“Aaahhhh!”

“He disappeared?”

“Where does he go?”

“Aaaahhhh!”

“Another person vanishes.”

“What’s going on?”

There was a lot of confusion as people started disappearing one by one. They didn’t even know why the people could even vanish.

Soon, the Cubicars started to crash into each other as the passengers of those Cubicars had the same fate.

Chaos began spreading all over the region. The man’s face was already pale as he had speculated that his girlfriend had disappeared just like them.

“This is…” He looked at his surroundings in horror.

“No, no. I need to go home right now. I need to check it with my own eyes.” He shook his head and found a taxi parked nearby. He opened the door and said, “I need to go home right now.”

The taxi driver was filming the phenomenon and felt annoyed when he was disturbed, but the man stated, “Come on, dude… Please help me. I was contacting my girlfriend earlier, and she suddenly stopped responding to me. I’m afraid something has happened to her.”

“Okay, okay.” The taxi driver immediately stored his Skylink after knowing that it involved life. “Tell me where to go.”

“Reyne Avenue 36A.”

“Got it.” The taxi driver hurriedly drove away to help this guy.

But everything didn’t go according to his plan. After three minutes of driving, the taxi driver also vanished.

“What?!” The man gasped and saw the Cubicar going out of control. Before he could take the wheel, he saw another cubicar without a person driving straight toward him.

*Bam!*
