106 Faux World

[[Decomposing Fluid]]?

[Grade: C]?

[[Type: Potion]]?

[[Description: Using this concocted potion on any dead living being will completely decompose them; their skin and flesh would gradually turn into nothing but sand. It is highly effective when getting rid of corpses of some monsters and or beasts whose bodies were useless to process]]?

While looking at this information about the bottle of fluid, Randy cussed out loud as he was reminded of something unpleasant last time.

That was because this was the second time that he was seeing this potion that could turn corpses or even possibly people decomposed upon contact.

Although the system did not mention the part where it could be possible to inflict damage to the living body, nevertheless, Randy was almost certain that it was possible.

Not to mention that it was flammable by itself and if handled wrongly, one could die without knowing how they had died.

The first time he came across this type of potion was the other day when he met that subordinate of the sunglasses man.

.....

After he knocked the other party unconscious by strangling them using his grip skill, he searched their clothes just like he did with the sunglasses and the others.

At the time, he did not find anything valuable besides this decomposing fluid on the other party and Randy thought it was some expensive potion, but he was proven wrong later on.

“Well, I guess with this, I can get rid of their corpses without leaving behind any evidence. Who knows how many people these people had killed and gotten rid of the evidence with this decomposing fluid? It is only fitting that they die and decompose the same way as they did to others.”

Randy surmised after a while of thinking, and he immediately opened one of the bottles of decomposing fluid.

Pop!

The foul scent of the contents wafted into his nose even though he turned the other way in anticipation of it being harmful.

“Ugh! What is this smell? Is this the smell of the decomposing fluid? Good thing I did not bother to open the first one I obtained, otherwise, the foul smell would have spread in my room and possibly even through our house. Why do they even carry these around?” Randy said in displeasure and then held his nose with his hand as he outstretched his arm forward right away towards the corpses.

He quickly emptied two bottles of liquid on the corpses eliciting some disturbing sizzling noises.

Siss–

All the corpses started melting at the speed that the eye could see, and it seems to be spreading throughout the whole body of the corpses, so Randy was pleased that he did not need to spread it across on their entire bodies.

At this point, Randy stood in the distance as he observed this whole process with a scowled expression.

“What a cruel method.” He commented as he watched the corpses slowly melt away.

And eventually, those corpses turned into sand or grain-like substances, and thus all evidence had been erased with this.

“Still this smell... Won’t someone with a very good sense of smell be able to smell this?” Randy muttered.

Thinking of something, he suddenly stuck out his index finger and then muttered after a moment: “Spark.”

Fwoom- iｎ????????????α????. ????????????

A tiny flame manifested on top of his finger and Randy walked toward the decomposed corpses as he held his nose.

When he reached the site, he carefully bent down and let the tiny flame fall on one of the decomposed corpses.

FWOOM–

A huge flame suddenly arose from the corpse, burning through it and spreading to the other decomposed corpses next to it on the ground.

At this moment, there was a huge flame rising about 2-3 meters from the ground and burning anything on the ground that could be burnt.

“Holy shit! Why is the flame picking up so much! I knew this thing was flammable but to think that it was to this extent.” Randy commented in surprise.

Randy watched as the corpses burnt away completely.

And then after that, he walked into the corner away from the fire and changed his clothes from his ripped academy uniform into his gym clothes.

With that done, he walked away from the alley toward the entrance and eventually walked out of the alley.

However, when he walked through the entrance of the alley, he felt like he had walked through a thin layer of some barrier once again.

And when he decided to look back, he was shocked to find the space shattering and disappeared right after; he found out that the place that he came from was still the same even though the space seemed to distort for a moment.

But he noticed a difference, which was that all the damage and corpses and everything was nowhere to be found, almost as if they had disappeared or had never happened in the first place.

Randy felt goosebumps as he was shocked by this and muttered: “What the hell happened?!”

He immediately asked the only one who could possibly know the answer to what was going on right now.

‘System, what just happened? Where did the flame go? And why did all the damages to the walls disappear?’ Randy asked this series of questions.

[[The host does not need to worry, you were most likely in a faux world until just now, which was created by some artifact. However, it appears that this was only a one-time phenomenon with a limited time and will shatter when one came out from the entrance of the faux world in time. Otherwise, those within would be randomly transported into an unknown space or possibly killed instantly from the spatial distortion]]

The system explained to him, shocking Randy greatly as he felt a chill run down his spine.

‘Does that mean that I would have died just now if I had not come out of that place in time?’ Randy thought but he soon shook this thought away, afraid of thinking about this possibility.

He then asked further in his mind: “Faux World? What is that? Judging from the meaning, are you saying it was a fake world or something?”

[[Indeed, that is the case]] The system curtly replied to him.

“Haah... more stuff to think about, whatever, at least with this, I won’t have to worry about someone finding the evidence.”

Randy sighed and then suddenly thought of something as he watched the spotless alley.

“Wait a minute, is this perhaps the reason why those guys still use the decomposing liquid despite its rotten scent? But if there is no way to track their handiwork after the faux world disappears, then why use it in the first place, or is this a special case and that they normally don’t use this faux world to handle their matters?”

“...That makes sense since it probably cost a lot to procure such an artifact.”

“Whatever the case may be, it is a good thing for me since no one would know what happened here today and I can go home with peace of mind.”

Randy concluded after a while.

After that, he turned around and made his way home in quicken steps as it was already dark outside.
