Seong looked at the female ghost before opening his quest window.

First, he needed to check what kind of quest it was.

『Bloodstains in the Alley』

→ 《Rare - Chain Quest》

→ You have discovered a bloodstained floor in a quiet alley of PentaGrid City.

Given the city's generally peaceful security, these traces suggest that something terrible has happened to someone.

However, no corpse has been found, and apart from the crime scene, there are few clues.

Uncover the identity of the victim and unravel the hidden truth.

Find evidence of the murder.

→ Requirement: Must have discovered the bloodstains in the alleys of PentaGrid.

→ Reward: Experience, next quest in the chain.

"Hmm."

From what he had heard, this was a quest that triggered upon passing through the alleyway.

For a Rare-grade quest, it was surprisingly easy to obtain.

However, almost everyone had given up on it because no one had been able to find a single clue.

It made sense.

How could someone deduce additional traces of a murder when all they had was a bloodstain in an alley?

Seong examined the scene just in case.

There were only the remnants of the murder itself—no footprints or any other clues left behind.

It was no wonder people gave up.

But Seong was different.

He could see her.

The ghost of a woman with a haggard expression.

That alone gave him an overwhelming advantage over others.

Ghosts in the game were all NPCs.

That meant this woman had to be the NPC who had been murdered.

The moment Seong laid eyes on her, she seemed to tremble as tears welled up in her eyes.

It must have been an unbearably unjust death.@@novelbin@@

However, seeing Seong seemed to put her at ease. Her expression steadied as she spoke.

— Hic… Meeting a noble soul like you… I feel as though my pain is finally easing.

"May I ask what happened to you?"

Even as he asked, he was already preparing to absorb her memories.

Listening to her story would take far too long.

Perhaps sensing this instinctively, the ghost woman hesitated for a moment before giving a shy nod.
