Divinity: Against the Godly System

Ryder looked at the bunny costume in his hand, confused. He couldn't help but ask Janus if there was something more to this crappy costume.

<Item: Special Bunny Costume>

<Class: Special Illusion Class Item>

<Description: An item that can make you look like a real bunny once worn. People will only see the wearer as a real bully, hopping even if they walk on two legs>

While Ryder was asking the question, a screen opened in front of him, showing him the description of the item.

Ryder read the description of the item and understood its uses. With an understanding look on his face, he muttered, "An illusion item? Hah, that's not bad. At Least no one will see me wearing this crappy outfit even if I ever need to wear it. This can help me get out of the terrible situations oftentimes without being caught."

"Should I try wearing it?" He wondered as he looked at the costume. "To test it?"

After thinking for a little while, he shook his head. "Nah, it looks too stupid."

He placed the bunny costume in his inventory.

He laid on his bed and started going through the latest updates of the happenings in the world to keep himself involved about things that might be changing.

"Necrosis' worth keeps going up. Should I invest in them? Sigh, I need money for my own company as well," Ryder thought, shaking his head.

He scrolled to the next news and kept scrolling his news feed.

"Hmm? The government banned the calls to Russia? Is there another conflict on the horizon between the two? Why so suddenly?"

He kept going through his feed, only stopping when he finished reading everything.

He opened his laptop and sent a few emails before putting the laptop on the side after closing it.

He laid in the bed and took a deep breath. 

"Ryder! Hurry! Come out!" Ryder had the Divinity Glasses in his hand, ready to jump inside when he heard the intense knocking on the door. Shu was calling him out with deep urgency.

He kept the glasses back before he got off the bed and opened the door.

"What happened? Did someone attack?" Ryder asked, opening the door.

"It's Alice! She's kidnapped!" Shu let out in urgency.

"What the fuck?! How!" Ryder thundered furiously as he pulled out his phone and started calling Alice.

"After college, she went to her friend's house. My guards followed her there, but someone knocked them unconscious. After not getting a reply from them, I traced their phone and found them dead in the car. Further investigation shows that Alice and her friend are both kidnapped. I'm trying to track her number, but it's impossible. Her phone was inside the car as well, switched off!" Shu explained, wiping the sweat off of his forehead.

"I've contacted the authorities. The entire city is in lockdown. My men are searching everywhere as well. I have utilized our satellites as well. We might find her son, but until then, her life is in danger!" he said as he held his head, worrying. "I don't know what I can do anymore."

"This..." Ryder went blank for a moment, hearing all this, trying to progress this information.

"How can she go missing like that. Every second she's not with us, her life is in danger. I must find her at any cost! When did this happen? I don't know when she was talented. According to my assumption, it has been over three hours now. We found it just recently," Shu responded.

"Three hours... It's too long. I can't go back that long," Ryder muttered as he walked towards the stairs.

'As for going back with death, that's risky, so I shouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary. But it's Alice! It's necessary! I must find her at any cost!' he thoughts, frowning.

"What are the chances that the culprits left the city before the lockdown?" he asked Shu, who was following him.

"I don't think they could have expected such a great response. The authorities are already checking the cars leaving the city after that blast that occurred, trying to be more alert. I don't think they left the city. The only way to leave is through private helicopters and planes," Shu answered.

Ryder looked at Shu, stopping on the stairs. "The helicopters? If the people are rich, they can use the helicopters, but why would they take Alice after taking such a risk? Also, why would they take her friend as well? Could it be that the friend was the target and Alice got caught in between? Did you try tracking Alice's friend's number, or was it also left behind?" 

"Her phone isn't in the house. So she's most certainly carrying it. The phone is turned off, though, so we can't track it. The last known location in it is the house where they were kidnapped," Shu answered.

"Her phone is off," Ryder muttered as he started going down the stairs again.

" Can we go deeper? We need to go through the history of all the signals in the city to find which numbers were inside the house in the last 5 hours. The ones that don't belong to the guards are the kidnappers. As long as even one of them had their phones on when they kidnapped Alice and her friend, we can find her," he continued as he came with a plan.

"That! Why didn't I think of that? Yes, we can try that!" Shu said, smashing his head.

"How fast can you get me the numbers and their current location?" Ryder asked gravely. 

"It can be done in ten minutes," Shu replied as he started dialing a number.

"Good. I'll call the pilot. We will be in the air in ten minutes. I will find them at any cost, and if there's even a scratch on Alice...!" Ryder let out as he clenched his fist.

He called the Pilot of the private helicopter of Shu, who soon came out, ready for work.

Ryder and Shu were waiting outside the helicopter on updates about the numbers when Shu's phone started ringing.

Shu picked up the call. "Yeah, what's the update."

"Two numbers? Are they both in the same location now?" he exclaimed with a frown.

"Alright. Got it. Send me their location and keep me updated if their location changes," he let out after hearing a response before he disconnected the call.

He looked back at Shu and nodded his head. "You were right. Two numbers had entered the house and left that place soon after. The two of them are still together. I have their location."
