Ero Meter

Chapter 196 Compass

"It doesn't matter," Jack said and took in a deep breath and then he took out his notebook and pen.

"What are you gonna do with that notebook and pen?" The little girl asked as she moved forward with a curious look on her face.

"Just ask me the question and get it over with," Jack said in an annoyed tone, he didn't like the little girl's attitude and he wanted to get out of this portal as soon as he could.

The little girl listened to him and pouted, she snorted and moved back again.

"Why do you have to be so rude?" She moved her head away in annoyance while crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"So are you gonna ask the question or not?" Jack asked with a poker face, he wasn't interested in anything other than the compass.

"I won't if you keep acting like this." The girl snorted again.

Jack listened to her and sighed he picked up his bags again and started to move, ignoring the little girl.

"Wait! Where are you going?" The girl quickly flew and came in front of him.

"Don't waste my time," Jack said.

"Ok, I am asking the question." The girl said with her nose raised and moved both of her hands behind her back.

"Go ahead," Jack said and nodded.

"How many fingers do I have?" The girl asked with her hands behind her back and a creepy smile started to form on her face.

She looked at Jack with her eyes glimmering.

"You have ten minutes." She said with a chuckle and sat down on the ground while she kept her hands behind her back.

Jack listened to her and turned silent, he had previously noticed that she had ten fingers however he wasn't gonna answer her question without conforming with his Ero Meter.

The situation was too risky and she might be playing a trick on him.

He took in a deep breath and sat down on the ground while placing the bags away.

He then looked at his opened notebook and flipped the pen in his hand a few times and then he started writing.

'The correct answer to her question is between?' He wrote and started writing his options.

1. Between one to ten.

2. Between ten to a hundred.

3. Between a hundred to one thousand.

He wrote the three options and then took in a deep breath.

His pen then rested in the crease of the notebook and he started scanning for the answer.

The first option quickly flashed red, which meant her fingers were more than ten.

He then moved his gaze to the second option and then he looked at the truth panel and it flashed green.

'So the number of her fingers is between ten to hundred.'

He sighed and looked at her face, her creepy smile was still there.

"Come on, why are you thinking so much the answer is pretty obvious." She giggled, "And what are you doing with your notebook, are you calculating? Hehe... Are you a math nerd?" She narrowed her eyes in a smile as she said these words.

Jack stayed silent at her words and started writing his next question.

'The correct answer to her question is between?'

1. Ten to twenty.

2. Twenty to thirty.

3. Thirty to forty.

.

.

.

9. Ninety to Hundred.

He wrote the options and then scanned through them one by one and after a few options the small meter suddenly flashed green.

'Forty to Fifty...' Jack looked at the fourth option flashing green and looked at the small girl, he clearly remembered her having ten fingers.

'The correct answer to her question is?' He wrote another question.

1. 40

2. 41

.

.

.

10. 50

He then quickly looked through all the options and soon enough his panel flashed green again.

'Forty-Eight.' He looked at the answer and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

If it was someone else then it would have been extremely hard for them to guess the correct answer.

'The truth meter never failed me.' Jack thought and moved his head up to look at the little girl in the eyes. There was a determined look on his face.

"What happened?" The girl asked with a mocking smile on her face. "Answer it, you have four minutes left." She said and giggled.

Jack listened to her and took in a deep breath, he then stood up from the ground and placed the notebook in his bag.

"Don't even think of running away. Hehe..." The girl also stood up, still hiding her hands.

Forty-eight," Jack said suddenly as he picked up his bags behind his back.

The girl who was looking at Jack with her prey eyes when heard his words, her pupils suddenly dilated in terror.

Her little body shook for a moment and then she moved her hands in front, of Jack looked at them and could still count only ten fingers, however, he didn't get worried as he trusted his truth panel.

"Ho... How?" The little girl looked at Jack with a bewildered expression on her face, she couldn't figure out how he knew the answer.

After seeing his angry attitude previously she decided to give him a hard question to make him fail and then kill him by torturing him, however, he somehow managed to answer him correctly.

"It doesn't matter, just give me my compass," Jack said and took deep into her eyes, trying to intimidate the little girl.

The girl on the other hand stood at her place dumbfounded and after a few seconds, she let out a sigh. "You are strange." She said and clicked her finger and suddenly, a silver compass appeared in her hand.

"I like collecting fingers, I collect one from each person I kill, I thought I would have one more today, but it looks like I will have to wait some more." She murmured and threw the compass to Jack.

Jack moved his hand and caught the compass, he saw the directions on it and it was simple north, south, east, west compass.

"What's special about it?" Jack asked with his brows raised.

"Nothing." The little girl giggled and then with a bust of wind she disappeared from his sight.

Jack saw her vanishing and took in a deep breath. She clenched the compass in his hand and then placed it in his pocket.

He then took out his notebook again to ask questions about the compass.

...

Vieva looked at the list of people in her hand as she sat in a small cosy office.

It was the building of the auction house, that sold all the stuff from the Boseman family.

In front of her stood Echo with her head held down and beside her a man was kneeling with blood dripping from his mouth, and many cuts were visible on his body.

It was clear that he had been tortured mercilessly.

"Only three people brought all the major stuff and we can't get information about one of them." Vieva looked at the three names.

"Rebecca..." She then looked at the first name again and a frown appeared on her face.

This girl has brought the most amount of goods, but there was no background information about her. Only her name and her image were there in the auction system.

She wasn't even on the internet.

"Find this Rebecca," Vieva said as she looked at Echo.

"Mother, I already did the water point ritual and this girl's last location was in Nepal. I can't locate her after that." Echo said with a shameful tone.

When Vieva heard her words a frown appeared on her face. "Nepal?" She asked again.

"Yes, her last location was on Mount Everest, a few hours ago and now I can't track her for some reason," Echo said.

Vieva listened to her and turned silent. "Find everything about her." She said and clicked her tongue "And clean this mess." She looked at the man with blood dripping from all over his body.

After that, she disappeared and came to her mansion again.

She picked up a water bottle from her fridge and moved towards her living area. She then spilt some water on the table.

After some minutes she looked at the water with a worried expression on her face too. "I can't find Jack too." She murmured and leaned back in her seat.

"How did he find out about the Ring of Power?" She thought and started thinking about all the instructions she had with Jack.

"There is no way he found out about the ring if power through me." She murmured in a frustrated tone.

"How am I supposed to find him now." She thought and stood up from her seat again.

.....

"Feba this is getting pointless." Faneel suddenly stopped while moving and sat on the ground while taking in deep breaths.

Feba looked back at him while sweat dripped from her forehead.

"We have to keep moving..." She said.

"We have been walking for hours and the only thing we saw is more fucking grass."
