Divinity: Against the Godly System

"I get it. The two owners that you killed were the father and daughter duo. Your son might have already been scared enough that he didn't even step foot in this place, and you can't leave," Ryder muttered.

"Yes. I can't feel at peace until he is punished!" the Spirit told Ryder.

"Will getting him arrested work? He'll be exposed in front of the whole world and spend his life in prison. Wouldn't that be better? If he dies, it's over for him, but if he's in prison, he'll regret what he did all his life," Ryder suggested.

"No! I still remember how he killed me in my own office. I can never forget that cruel face that is unrecognizable to me to this day! He doesn't deserve to live for even a second," the Spirit yelled as loud as it could.

"Alright, I'll think about it, but you can't harm anyone in the meantime. I purchased this property, and I'll be setting up my office here. If you harm anyone, I won't simply kill you, but do something which you can't even imagine. No matter how long I take to come to my decision, you won't harm anyone!" Ryder warned him.

The Spirit nodded its head.

Ryder left the building, got back in his car and left. He had seen the building and seen its ghost as well. He also had a general idea about how he should set things up and the furniture and equipment that he needed for what he planned.

He went to Alice's college to pick her up.

He parked the car on the side as he waited for Alice to come, but someone else came and knocked on his window.

There was a girl in a short skirt standing outside.

Ryder lowered the window.

"Yes?"

"Are you Alice's brother?" the girl asked him.

"Yeah, I am. Do you know me?" Ryder asked in surprise.

"I saw you with Alice before. I was waiting for you here as I don't know your number. Alice has been arrested," She told Ryder.

"What?! Why?" Ryder asked in an unusually loud tone.

"She was involved in a fight with someone. The other person seemed to be injured. The police arrested Alice and took her with them," the girl replied.

Ryder's face lost its colors as he picked up the phone and dialed Alice's number.

"The number you're calling has been switched off. Please try again..." He got the recorded message.

"Why didn't anyone inform me? The university has my number! They should inform me if something big like this happened! Even Alice didn't call me," Ryder muttered in a concerned tone.

"Things are complicated," the girl told Ryder.

"Can you come with me? Tell me everything on the way," Ryder told her as he opened the door on the passenger side.

The girl nodded her head and entered the car.

Ryder's Whirlwind zoomed off the streets and went towards the police station.

"What happened? Tell me in detail?" Ryder asked.

"The daughter of University Dean,Misha, had an argument with Alice, and it somehow developed into a fight as Alice slapped Misha. Even though the Campus security separated them, things still escalated. The cops were called who arrested Alice and took her. I've been waiting here, hoping to meet you since then," the girl told Ryder.

"Daughter of the Dean? Is that why the college authorities didn't call me? Those bastards!" Ryder cursed.

After driving for over half an hour, he was finally getting near the police station.

He was deeply concerned about Alice, and that's the only thing that was in his mind at the moment. His car's speed was as fast as he could keep it.

He abruptly pressed the brake of the car as a kid jumped onto the road in front of his car, but it was too late. The car hit the kid, throwing him far away.

"Aaaa!" the girl that was sitting beside Ryder screamed in shock.

Ryder hurriedly stepped out of the car and ran to the kid who was bleeding on the ground. He checked the nerves and found out that the kid was already dead.

"Faaaack!" Ryder cursed out loud.

The cars started stopping around him, and the passersby on the footpath also stopped.

"I won't let you die!" Ryder muttered as he used his skill that he received because of his Bracelet of Immortality.

The time was reversed by 40 minutes, and Ryder found himself back in his car, driving it.

"The daughter of University Dean,Misha, had an argument with Alice, and it somehow developed into a fight as Alice slapped Misha. Even though the Campus security separated them, things still escalated. The cops were called who arrested Alice and took her. I've been waiting here, hoping to meet you since then," the girl told Ryder, but he had already heard it.

'I've never been so glad to be able to turn back time than I am now,' Ryder thought as he watched the street.

After half an hour, he reached the same location where the accident had taken place, but he already slowed down the car.

The kid once more jumped on the road, picked his ball, and walked back on the footpath.

Ryder breathed in relief as he increased his speed again.

He got to the police station.

He and the girl stepped out of the car.

Ryder entered the police station and walked up to a cop.

"My sister was arrested by you. Where is she?" Ryder asked the cop.

"We did arrest a girl. She was involved in a fight, and her attack broke the jaw of the other girl. This is a case of assault," The cop replied to him.

"This is a lie! There's no way a simple slap like that can break someone's jaw!" the girl that came with Ryder immediately reacted as she called the accusation a lie.

"Did you check if she was actually hurt?" Ryder asked the cop as he glared at him.

"You have no right to ask me anything. You can get bail if you want her to be out, or she stays behind bars until it's the time to present her before the court," the Cop replied.

"Great. You don't care about right or wrong, do you? It doesn't matter what happened, right? I want to see my sister right this instant!" Ryder asked in anger.

"Elkin? Take them to the girl," the cop told another guy.

Ryder was brought to Alice, who was in a cell, alone.

"Alice? You aren't hurt, are you?" Ryder asked Alice as soon as he saw her. Fortunately, he didn't see any wound on her.
