The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 661. The Bored Reporter

Elenna's PoV

Elenna sat alone in a small, dimly lit room in the police station. The air was musty, stale, and suffocating, reeking of old sweat and musty paperwork. The only sound was the soft rustling of paper as she flipped through the thick criminal files that were scattered haphazardly across the worn wooden table in front of her.

She yawned. Her eyes scanned the files with a mix of disinterest and monotony. Her boredom felt almost physical, making her sluggish and lethargic. She couldn't help but let out a deep sigh as she shifted her weight, propping her elbows up on the table and resting the side of her head lazily on her palm.

"I should have apologized to him," she muttered to herself. 

Elenna had visited Ethan's house a week ago, hoping to make amends for all she had done, but he was nowhere to be found. She had resolved to apologize to him the next time they met, but it seemed that fate had other plans as she saw him in a bad mood earlier. 

Her eyes drifted back to the files before her, her mind weighed down by the memory of her missed opportunity.

Elenna's boredom had become an unbearable weight upon her shoulders. She had spent hours in that room, scouring through countless robbery files in search of something that might catch her attention. Yet, despite her best efforts, her mind kept wandering back to demons and demon hunters, and that Great Demon in particular.

The mere thought of the Great Demon sent a shiver to her body, but she couldn't help but be fascinated by it. She longed to know more, to uncover its secrets and learn everything there was to know about it. 

However, her psychiatrist had forbidden her from delving deeper into the world of demons. They had warned her that her fascination with them could lead to a descent into madness, that she would lose herself in a sea of delusions.

With a sigh of defeat, Elenna closed the files before her.

'I don't think this will work…' she thought. She had tried everything she could think of to distract herself, from gruesome murder cases to supernatural sightings, from unsolved mysteries to absurd alien abductions. But nothing had succeeded in capturing her interest like the world of demons and demon hunters.

Her mind was in turmoil, her thoughts scattered and unfocused. "Maybe I should stop being a reporter…" She couldn't help but wonder if she should give up her career. Maybe it was time to move on, to find something else that would spark her interest.

She sat there in the stillness of the archives. She couldn't help but feel lost and alone, adrift in a sea of uncertainty. Elenna had given up. Her eyes flicked over the same news stories, her mind wandering aimlessly. She had lost her spark, her passion for reporting had fizzled out into nothingness. 

What was the point of all of it, anyway? Even if she didn't have a job, the money would still come to her. Being a reporter and taking to the field was just her ego.

But just as she was about to pack up her things and head home, her phone rang, jolting her out of her daze. She fumbled for her bag, her fingers shaking with anticipation. The boredom in the archives had almost killed her, and the sudden ringtone was a welcome distraction.

She swiped her phone screen and read the message from her subordinate, Karl.

Karl: I think you should check this, boss. It's last night's big robbery. The CCTV managed to catch a glimpse of a weird shadow. The police are pretty sure it's the culprit.

A video attachment was below it.

A smile crept over her lips, but it was a dry, humorless one. "Of course... all of them only reported the robbery case to me..." she reminded herself. She felt foolish for getting excited over something so mundane.

The robbery had taken place in Lightglen City, a place that Elenna knew all too well. It was a sprawling metropolis, filled with towering skyscrapers and endless concrete. But it was the strangest robbery case she had ever heard of. The thief had managed to break into the bank, but instead of stealing the money, he left it at the entrance and disappeared without a trace. The police had been left scratching their heads as they thought the culprits did it to mock them.

Without much enthusiasm, she clicked on the play button of the video. As she watched the CCTV footage, her eyes wandered around the screen, searching for something out of the ordinary. At first glance, it appeared to be just another typical alleyway in the city, with nothing but the occasional gust of wind disturbing the shadows that danced across the brick walls.

But then, something strange caught her eye. A pair of shadows moving in an erratic pattern. It looked as though two people were fighting, but it was difficult to tell for sure. Then, she saw a shadow that appeared to have wings. At first, she thought it was a trick of the light, but as she watched more closely, she could see that it was unmistakably a set of demon wings.

Her sinister smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a look of deep concern. She replayed the video several times, her eyes fixed on the screen as she tried to make sense of what she was seeing. 

"Impossible," she muttered under her breath, but she couldn't shake the feeling that what she was witnessing was real.

She continued to analyze the footage. A thought crossed her mind. Could the robber be a demon? It seemed far-fetched, but she couldn't deny what she had seen. If it was true, then why had the demon left the loot behind? It didn't make sense.

She replayed the video again, focusing her attention on the other figure in the alley. The one who had been fighting the thief was the demon. It was the only explanation that made sense. But who could it be? Why he helped humans?

Her mind raced as she considered the possibilities.

Suddenly, it hit her. The Great Demon. It was the only explanation that made sense!

With a renewed sense of purpose, she sprang into action. Her fingers moved swiftly over the keys. The phone rang several times before her subordinate picked up, and she could hear the sound of papers rustling in the background.

"Hello?" Her subordinate's voice was tired, but alert.

"Can you tell me more about that case?" she asked, the excitement in her voice unmistakable.
