## Chapter 181 – 181. God’S Atlantis
181. God’s Atlantis
The police fired their guns simultaneously.
‘A split second.’
The bullets flying towards me seemed slow.
I moved behind the police and pulled the trigger of my Desert Eagle. I accurately placed a bullet in each of their heads.
The bodies of six police officers fell to the ground.
‘Hah. I did it. This will get the special police moving.’
Special police.
They are police who deal with criminals that regular police cannot handle. Think of them as people with exceptional combat abilities.
‘Until now, the only crimes I’ve committed were sexual harassment, so regular police were chasing me, but…’
The reason why the city’s security is maintained in this harsh world is because of the existence of the special police.
‘The special police are not at a level I can ignore right now.’
Continentals do not inherently possess a status window or unique traits. Therefore, Continentals are weaker than Exiles.
‘But Continentals can awaken their status window and unique traits if they meet certain conditions.’
The first is a contract with a God Seat. When a Continental makes a contract with a God Seat, they naturally awaken their status window and unique traits.
The second is training. If you train your body, you will awaken at some point.
The third is hunting monsters. You can awaken faster than by training. However, it is more dangerous than training.
‘The special police in this city are Continentals who have awakened their status window.’
What’s certain is that the special police are stronger than the newbie Exiles at the Church of Beginnings.
‘Damn it. Now I can’t openly walk around the city and sexually harass beautiful women.’
I glanced at the car parked in front of the alley. It was a police car. I considered hijacking it but decided against it.
‘Hobson’s mansion is just a short walk away. There’s no need to take that.’
Concealing my appearance with Deception (SS), I headed towards Hobson’s mansion.

“This damn…”
Benjamin cursed as he entered the police station.
The police around him looked at Benjamin with puzzled eyes. Benjamin was the chief of the Central Police Station in Etin, District 57. He was the highest authority in the police force of District 57.
With his massive body, Benjamin walked nervously into his office.
“Jessica! Natalia! Get to my office now! It’s urgent and important!”
He shouted once and slammed the door to his office shut. Benjamin seemed quite upset.
Benjamin sat in his chair and tapped the table with his index finger. His face, now in his fifties, was crumpled like a discarded piece of tissue paper.
Soon, his door opened, and two women entered.
“Benjamin, what’s wrong? What are you so angry about?”
Jessica, a woman with her blonde hair tied up, naturally walked into the office and sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. Considered the most beautiful police officer in District 57, she had everything: a great figure, a beautiful face, everything.
“It must be something that went wrong.”
The tall woman who followed Jessica was also a beauty, no less than Jessica. With red hair and brown eyes, she plopped down next to Jessica. If Jessica was a sophisticated woman, Natalia was a tough woman with a chic vibe.
Jessica and Natalia.
They were the most successful special police duo in Etin, the City of Lights in District 57.
Benjamin looked at the two of them and opened his mouth. His voice was rough with excitement.
“You two know that there’s a crazy clown running around the city, right?”
Jessica nodded. The office was already buzzing because of that clown. They had seen many criminals, but this was the first time they had seen one like this.
“You mean that perverted clown in black clothes who goes around the city touching women’s breasts and butts? That kind of guy should have his thing cut off to calm him down.”
Jessica didn’t take it seriously. She had heard that the clown had assaulted a man, but he was only committing sexual harassment. For Jessica and Natalia, special police who mainly deal with dangerous criminals, a sexual harassment clown was not their concern.
“That damn clown killed six police officers.”
“…What?”
Jessica’s eyes widened as she asked back, completely taken aback by the unexpected words.
“That clown shot our police! Six of them died with bullet holes in their heads! Damn it! That bastard must think we’re a bunch of idiots!”
“A guy who was just sexually harassing people suddenly killed police officers?! Why?!”
“I don’t know! He must have suddenly gone crazy. He’s a guy who claims to be a demon from the sky, so he’s definitely got mental issues!”
“……”
Jessica closed her mouth. Her face became serious.
The murder of six police officers was a serious matter. Putting aside the honor of the police, it was tantamount to declaring war on the police.
“The clown also killed ‘Black Knife Jack.’ There was a woman’s body nearby… but that was Jack’s doing.”
Black Knife Jack.
He was a guy who appeared in the city periodically, killed women, and disappeared. The police had shot Jack several times, but Jack would reappear a few months later and kill women as if he had been resurrected.
But Jack never killed police officers. He always ran away when he encountered the police.
“That clown. This guy is definitely crazier than Jack. He killed six police officers at once, so now he’ll kill without hesitation. He won’t just sexually harass women anymore, he’ll rape them indiscriminately. We have to catch him as soon as possible before the city is engulfed in fear.”
“Benjamin, you’re thinking of assigning the clown to us.”
“This is a very urgent matter. I need your strength. Especially you, Natalia. The previous plan is canceled. Use your prophecy on the clown.”
Natalia had made a contract with the God Seat ‘Prophet of 66’ two weeks ago. Her God Seat skill, Prophecy (A), was the ability to foresee an event that would happen within three days for a target once a month.
The original plan was to use the prophecy on Black Knife Jack. To find out why he kept reappearing even after he was killed.
“What about Black Knife Jack? You were waiting for him to appear.”
Natalia said bluntly.
She wanted to use the prophecy on Jack rather than the clown. The reason she became a special police officer was to avenge her friend who was killed by Jack.
“Natalia, this guy is more dangerous than Jack. We’re guessing he has teleportation or invisibility abilities. We have to stop him before he starts killing properly. If we can’t stop him, there might be dozens… maybe hundreds of victims!”
Natalia closed her eyes and then opened them again. As Benjamin said, the clown was more dangerous than Jack.
“Okay, Benjamin. If the clown is more dangerous, then… it’s right to catch the clown first.”
“Good. Use your prophecy to pinpoint his location. I’ve assigned this to you, but… I’m not planning on sending you alone. I promise to give you as much support as I can.”
“Okay, be quiet, Benjamin. I’m going to use my prophecy now. What about the clown’s portrait?”
“Here it is.”
Natalia took the paper he handed over. The portrait showed a man in black clothes wearing a childish clown mask.
“Ew. He looks scary like this. I’m scared of clowns.”
Jessica grumbled as she looked at the portrait.
“……”
Natalia looked at the portrait and closed her eyes. Then, as if waiting for it, a notification window popped up. The notification window was special, so it could be seen even with her eyes closed. No, she had no choice but to see it.
「Do you want to use Prophecy?」
Natalia mentally expressed her affirmation.
Natalia felt as if her consciousness was being sucked into somewhere.
A few seconds later, Natalia opened her eyes wide. Natalia’s upper body swayed to the side. Jessica, who was next to her, was startled and supported Natalia’s body.
“Natalia! Are you okay?!”
“…I’m fine. I just felt a bit of a strange sensation.”
Natalia took Jessica’s hand and spoke softly.
“Natalia! What happened with the prophecy? Did it work?!”
“It worked, Benjamin.”
“The clown?! When and where will the clown appear?!”
“Today. He’ll appear at Hobson’s mansion. The clown was looking for something at Hobson’s mansion.”
Benjamin raised his hand and grabbed his hair at Natalia’s words.
“Hobson’s mansion? Damn it!”
“……Benjamin, why are you so subservient to Hobson? You could arrest Hobson and confiscate his assets, couldn’t you?!”
“No. It’s impossible. Hobson’s assets aren’t all in the mansion. He’s definitely hidden them here and there. The reason I’m subservient to Hobson? Of course, it’s because of the money! Because of Hobson’s support, our police can perform at their best. We need Hobson’s money for our police to operate as they do now!”
Benjamin, who had been speaking roughly, quickly regained his composure and looked at Natalia.
“…Natalia. What did you see at Hobson’s mansion through the prophecy?”
“I only saw the clown rummaging through Hobson’s mansion.”
“……Are you sure it’s Hobson’s mansion?”
“Don’t be too confident. The probability of the prophecy being correct is only 70%.”
Natalia got up from the sofa and headed towards the door.
“Natalia?! Where are you going all of a sudden?!”
“To the bathroom, Benjamin. I’m going to wash my face, so wait for me.”
“Natalia, you don’t seem well… I’ll go with you!”
Jessica followed Natalia.
Benjamin leaned back in his chair and muttered.
“Damn it. Why does it have to be Hobson’s mansion… Hobson’s going to throw a fit again.”
***
Natalia, who had entered the women’s restroom, looked at the mirror hanging on the wall. She could see Jessica’s face behind her.
“Natalia, what’s wrong? What did you see with the prophecy?”
“Jack was at Hobson’s mansion.”
“……Was Hobson Jack?”
“No, I can’t be sure of that. There were three Jacks, not just one. But… it’s certain that Hobson is related to Jack.”
Jessica closed her mouth. She thought about something for a while, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she said to Natalia.
“Natalia, I believe in you. Even if Benjamin thinks Hobson is important… what’s important to me is Natalia.”
Natalia turned her body and stared into Jessica’s blue eyes.
“Jessica, I believe in you too.”
“Natalia…”
Jessica hugged Natalia, lifted her chin, and closed her eyes.
Natalia wrapped her arms around her body and kissed her. A tongue protruded from between their lips and entered Jessica’s mouth.
“Mmm…. Ummm….”
As they were engrossed in the kiss, they began to caress each other’s bodies.
Natalia’s hand swept over Jessica’s back and went under her skirt, and Jessica’s hand touched Natalia’s firm abs and went into her pants.
It was the moment when their hands were about to go into their panties and touch their private parts.
“Jessica! Natalia! Don’t you know that every second counts right now?!”
Benjamin’s shout was heard.
Their lips and tongues, which had been engaged in a passionate kiss, separated.
“Haa. That clueless Benjamin…”
“Let’s go back, Jessica. We can continue after… after work.”
“Natalia, I want to do it at Natalia’s house today. Is that okay?”
“My house and I always welcome Jessica.”
***
“Tsk.”
A five-story mansion.
My face was crumpled as I looked at Hobson’s mansion.
Originally, my plan was to infiltrate the mansion after the sun had completely set, kill the guards and the guy named Hobson, and leisurely look for the red branch.
But before the sun had even set, the police gathered at the mansion and started guarding it.
‘Why are the cops guarding the mansion?’
Did Hobson call the police? If he called the police, why?
After thinking about various things, I could only come to one conclusion.
Whether it was Hobson or the police, they knew in advance that I was targeting the mansion.
‘Damn it. How did they know I was targeting Hobson’s mansion? Could it be Pesica? Did that old hag pass on the information?’
I soon shook my head.
There was no reason for Pesica to leak the information. She even gave me the scroll, so why would she try to ruin things?
‘I can’t back down here. I have to return to the Church of Beginnings by noon. If I’m away for too long, they’ll think it’s strange.’
I had no choice but to push through here. Fortunately, I had Deception (SS), a unique trait that was perfect for sneaking in and out.
