Max comes out and heads toward the elevator while Clark waits for the elevator to come down again so he can follow him.
And in the upper world Max thinks hard while heading toward a cigarette shop and says to himself:
"[I feel that I am always being watched already there is a strange feeling in my chest as if something is waiting for the right moment to take control of me]"
Max enters the cigarette shop and buys a smoking pipe and puts the transcendent tobacco in it.
Clark watches from afar in silence and whispers saying:
"What is he doing in that cigarette shop?"
Max notices that and leaves, then smiles a slight smile and says to himself:
"[Just be patient just be patient]"
Clark looks through magnifying glasses and whispers saying:
"Odd one, when will he go to the mission"
Max continues moving toward the white building next to the Hotel of Stars and thinks and says:
"[The pathway of the Reader, which everyone thinks I am under, has been promoted and has become called the Analyst pathway. That information reaches directly into consciousness as if it were fixed inscriptions that never forget. Do not worry, Clark, I will make you enjoy it with me a lot]"
Max reaches in front of the huge white building besieged by the police, then steps forward for one of the soldiers to stop him saying:
"The place here is isolated for now, you can pass through another road"
And with complete calm Max raises his badge in the soldier's face, so the soldier is startled and becomes tense and sweats, then says:
"Please go ahead, sir, sorry for not noticing"
Max pats the boy on the shoulder then says:
"No problem, the place above is empty of people, right? Only traces of the body, right?"
The boy replies in a formal manner and salutes Max and says:
"Yes sir, and also the place is fully secured and ready at your service in anything"
Max whispers in the boy's ear unheard words, then Max takes a deep breath from the pipe and says:
"I want to meet his family, bring them up to me"
Max advances and enters inside the house, then the soldier quickly calls out to Max and says:
"Sir, you forgot to know the floor with the traces of the crime"
Max looks with the corner of his strange eye toward the boy, then Max's eye suddenly gleams and he says:
"I know exactly where I am going"
The boy becomes tense and smiles in Max's face while he goes up, while Clark wears a disguise and watches from below.
Max goes up to the second floor and sees traces of blood on the carpet and the seats and even on the curtains, then Max approaches the window and looks out of it, then laughs a light laugh and whispers saying:
"What foolishness is this? I thought Xia was smarter than this, but no, they are not at the required level. When I did not have power I was afraid and weak, but now and finally I am truly free, not bound by anything"
Max throws something from his body onto the ground and breaks it.
And then the soldier arrives with the murdered man's wife and his only daughter.
Max smiles at the wife and the girl and asks them to sit, then closes the curtains and looks toward the soldier and confirms to him what he said.
The soldier gives the personal ID of the murdered man's family.
And the soldier confirms that the vehicle will leave at his signal with the person wearing the same clothes as him, then Max orders the soldier to go down.
Max moves in front of the family and brings a chair and looks into the girl's eyes and takes a breath from the pipe and says:
"Hello Maria, a college girl from a wealthy family, how are you, girl"
Max watches every detail of her face precisely, from her movement and the tension that may appear and the expressions and the physical gestures.
Max stands and looks toward the blood and before the girl can say any word Max speaks and says:
"Well then, you can go now"
Then Max orders the soldier to bring the person, while Maria and her mother are in a state of confusion looking at Max and thinking that he is a fool.
The soldier comes with the person who is wearing the exact same clothes as Max and with the same pipe, and then Max looks toward Maria and her mother and says:
"Madam, you are the wife of the person who was assassinated. You and your girl must be safe. Please go down with this person who will take you to your home safely"
The lady does not reply and looks toward Max strangely, then goes down with her daughter Maria behind the person who is wearing the exact same clothes as Max, while a black vehicle is directly in front of the door waiting for them.
The person takes the murdered man's family behind him, and Clark notices that and whispers saying:
"Where is he going with the family of the murdered person? I must follow him"
The vehicle moves, so Clark quickly rents another vehicle and orders it to move behind that black vehicle, while Max from above looks with a wicked smile and whispers saying:
"Enjoy your days in prison hahaha"
"[Well then, after reading Maria and her mother Theoibi's memories, it turned out that they have nothing to do with his murder at all, so it is time for plan B and using the thread ability]"
Max looks toward the blood, then suddenly silver-black threads filled with black and white stars appear everywhere, then Max whispers and says:
"Show me where the killer is"
The threads arrange themselves and take a fixed path toward some place.
Max comes down from the second floor and thanks the soldier and whispers in his ear with words, then goes through the thread path.
On the other side the wealthy family reaches their own palace while Clark watches by hiding inside a huge amount of tall grass, then whispers saying:
"The vehicle stopped here, why has no one gotten out yet?"
Suddenly Clark hears the sound of a vehicle behind him and at that moment a high-ranking Awakened appears and arrests Clark, who becomes tense and says:
"What is it, I was only sitting here"
The Awakened laughs lightly then says:
"Tell that to the judge, you have been arrested on charges of espionage and stalking sovereign entities"
The Awakened notices Clark's badge, then smiles maliciously and says:
"And also the charge of going out on an illegal mission, and of course that charge has a special court for Awakened ones"
Clark becomes tense and sees the person resembling Max getting out of the vehicle, shocked that it is not him.
The person runs after delivering the family home safely and approaches Clark and gives him a paper.
Clark grabs the paper and opens it, then is shocked and becomes extremely angry as the message says:
"Enjoy your days in prison"
Max continues smoking while a message reaches him from the soldier thanking him for exposing that plan and confirming to him that the spy has been arrested by the higher Awakened police and that the judgment will be issued by the supreme court.
Max laughs a light laugh and exhales smoke from his mouth and says:
"Show me now how you will act, Xia. If you were stronger than me, I am smarter, and of course you will not be able to hold anything against me because everything is against you. If you try to get him out and tell your lord, the chief of the Star Region, what you did by spying on a novice for private interests without official permission, you will be removed from your position and left to Clark, a break for your right hand and one of your spies"
Then Max continues along the thread path heading toward one of the abandoned factories while sending a text message to the soldier and confirming to him that he knows where the suspect is and sending him the location and asking him to come as soon as possible.
And after several minutes Max reaches the abandoned factory and storms into the factory and hears a muffled sound with the sound of biting and chewing.
Max walks behind the thread and enters an empty room with an extremely foul smell to see before him the killer's corpse dissected and headless, while strange curves of blood and symbols on the ground and a strange badge that does not belong to the Star Organization at all.
Max bends down to take the badge.
And suddenly Max is shocked and feels a terrifying aura behind him and says to himself:
"[I must not turn around at all or else an annihilation of my existence will happen. I only must remain calm and use consciousness manipulation and flee quickly from the place]"
And suddenly Max uses the consciousness manipulation ability to distract the entity for moments, then at lightning speed Max runs away from the entity.
The entity runs after him at great speed and breaks the factory columns very easily, causing the factory to shake violently, and then Max decides with a forceful press of his hand to gather energy, then delivers to the monster an extremely powerful blow that drops it to the ground without movement.
Max feels tired, then whispers saying:
"What is this now? It has become awakened, why do I still feel tired? I need time to realize that and understand the matter"
Suddenly the monster screams and something inside it glows red, then its size increases greatly and it breaks the factory roof while Max rushes out quickly.
The monster's shape transforms into a distorted and strange semi-circular monstrosity and screams in Max's shocked face.
Someone appears from behind Max without him noticing and puts his hand on his shoulder saying:
"Your turn is over, detective, here you can stand aside"
The person stands and looks toward the monster and with complete ease the Awakened closes his hand, causing an absolute death energy to spread and turn the monster into bones suddenly, while Max is amazed and says to himself:
"[A high-grade Awakened, he is terrifying]"
The Awakened looks toward Max then says:
"I am Azek, you were brave, detective, and thank you for finishing your official mission"
Max smiles and says:
"No need to thank me, I am the one who thanks you for saving me"
The soldier arrives and stands beside Max and calms down a little, then Max speaks and says:
"You are a soldier, and what is your name, boy?"
The soldier smiles and says:
"I am Ben, sir"
Max smiles and says:
"Good work, Ben, go now"
Suddenly Azek calls out to Max and says:
"Detective, the badge in your pocket please"
Max is surprised, then grabs the badge and gives it to the completely silent Azek and says:
"Sorry, it was my mistake"
Then Max turns and leaves while Azek looks at him in silence.
