Chapter 4 - L.O.V.E Scans
This case just kept getting new details thrown it, it was starting to become annoying.
Cars continued to drive past Gwen's house, occasionally lighting up her vast front lawn. Gwen looked out the front windows of her living room, which had made up the entire front wall. The large designer vase sparkled under the light everytime they passed. The expensive paintings upon the wall practically glowed whenever a headlight would dance across it.
That was the result of her years and years of being a cop, she had everything she ever needed for protecting people. A large, expensive designer house. Expensive items. The best security system.
She sat in the large kitchen, Gwen leaning against her hand as her dinner went cold to the side, forgotten by the woman. Instead, she had pulled out the files, Computer in hand as she continued to write the email.
It was confirmed, the L.O.V.E scan had been finished. Red had his soul scanned by the police department, and his statement was true. He had killed before.
His L.O.V.E was at seven.
That was one of the highest levels Gwen had ever seen. Only one serial killer had passed that, but barely. How had he never been caught until now? Who were his other victims?
Their L.O.V.E scanning machine was a technical marvel, really. Gwen had the report sent to her before she had printed it out, adding it to her folder. Slowly, her case folder was getting new information. She liked that.
*Sans, also called Red
*LV 7
*1 ATK 1 DEF
*The most difficult enemy
*Only did what he was raised to do
The machine wasn't used often, as it took an hour to produce results, and it could only come into use if the suspect had killed enough people to gain more LV. Thus, it was only really useful on serial killer cases. A single murder won't raise one's LV, like this case. A single pile of dust.
It was confirmed. Red was a filthy killer, just like he said.
That had made Gwen work frantically that day, unable to question the third suspect as she had to get this issue cleared up.
Just because Red had enough LV didn't mean he would automatically get executed, not when he was still involved in this case. If they dove in too early and killed him now, they could be letting the murderer of Papyrus Font go. After all, all three of the skeletons were in that room. Just because Red was already a murderer didn't mean he was automatically the murderer of Papyrus, they didn't have enough evidence or testimony yet.
They already had a procedure for this, thankfully. If a murderer was discovered during a case, but wasn't tied in with the current murder, they would be kept alive for questioning. They would never let a sinner go, no, so he would be executed once they found out who killed Papyrus Font. It might be him, but then again, it might not.
Gwen might not be getting one, but who murderers from this case. That was good. She was saving the world, sending sinners back down to hell.
This was already getting so much more complicated just from this. First Sans claims to be from a different universe, than Red was a killer... Which did nothing to help with the current case. She hadn't even got to question the third suspect!
What she knew about the case was minimal at best. Papyrus Font was found dead in his house, a house that was a distance away, which meant the murderer had to be on sight. Which meant it was one of the three suspects. They had used a knife, and had stabbed the man in the back. Sans was likely the closest, as he was covered in the blood of the victim. The police had arrived to find all three skeletons standing in the room, who all had surrendered.
While they had the L.O.V.E machine up and running, they had done scans of everyone else, including the dust of the victim. It was a really helpful machine when it came to cases like this one, really.
Did Gwen think Red did it? Maybe, he was the most likely judging by how he already had killed people. But that didn't confirm him. Sans was covered in blood and had been kidnapped, he could have snapped and tried to kill him. Or it could have been the third suspect, the one she hadn't managed to question yet.
The cop looked down at Sans' scan, sighing to herself. His only made it more confusing.
*Sans
*LV 1
*1 ATK 1 DEF
*The most easiest enemy
*Knows more than he's telling you
Gwen really wished she could just be told who killed Papyrus with the scan, but it didn't work that way. Checking people only gave cryptic information, and the stats never changed after the first check. Not unless something major changed, and overall it wouldn't be worth their time to continuously scan the three with their fingers crossed for a change.
And Gwen already knew Sans wasn't telling her everything, that part was obvious. And if he did kill Papyrus, it wouldn't show in the scan, not unless he had killed more people previously in order to increase his L.O.V.E.
But Papyrus' scan was the most confusing out of them all.
Red had been right, again. Papyrus had also killed people.
*Papyrus
*LV 12
*20 ATK 8 DEF
*Loves all versions of Sans very, very much
*He never would have suspected that particular Sans to kill him
Twelve. He was at twelve.
That was worse that Red, that was the highest Gwen had ever had the misfortune to look at. It was...
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
No wonder he must have kidnapped them, they were probably his next victims. His scan had made her head spin, Gwen plopping her face into the counter with a pained groan. So, his murderer was one of them, a 'Sans'. And he never expected that certain Sans to kill him.
But why was Red also named Sans? Why did it say Papyrus loved "all versions" of Sans? How had he killed so many people, but was never caught? If that many people were murdered, the entire government would have went on a hunt for the killer!
As if to make her day worse, right at that moment, Gwen's phone had rang, causing her to sit up and see the caller. Cooper.
"Yeah?" She asked, rubbing her green eyes as she stared back down at the papers, empty house practically echoing her voice.
"Um, so..." Cooper said awkwardly, "You uh, you know how that guy was talking about other universes?"
"Yeah," Gwen said again, voice bored and tired.
"Well, he was right. They're, uh, they're real."
That sentence seemed to spark life inside of Gwen, causing her to practically jump up like a balloon being inflated.
"What?" She asked.
"The device, it's a universe transporter. It won't work, but I managed to fix it enough to tell what it does. I'll have to wait for a few parts to come in the mail, but somehow, someone managed to build a working universe transporter. I mean, it's real. What the suspect had said, he wasn't lying. He's not from our universe."
