Common Sense Hijack System-Chapter 50

"This man walk up on the same route as Karl walks back to his apartment," Lily continued. Karl walks out of the room and approaches Jason and Lily. He comes with a calm expression, trying to ignore the weird looks from Jason and Lily. He gives a small smile.

"Hey, what’s up, guys?" Karl asks in a friendly tone, looking at Jason and Lily who are clearly surprised by his appearance. Jason starts, quickly hiding his phone. "Oh... nothing, just... chatting casually."

Lily tries to smile, but her gaze is slightly suspicious, as if trying to make sure Karl really didn’t hear their conversation earlier. "Yeah, just talking about unimportant stuff. By the way, you’ve been living in an apartment nearby for a long time, huh?" she asks, pretending to be casual.

Karl nods. "Yeah, quite a while. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, nothing, just curious. Because, I just heard that some residents feel uncomfortable because there are... weird things around here," Lily replies, looking at Karl while trying to read his reaction.

Karl remains calm, showing no signs of being disturbed. "Oh yeah? What’s going on?"

Jason and Lily exchange glances, looking slightly hesitant. Finally, Jason speaks up. "We just heard stories about a suspicious person wandering around this area. They even say there’s a guy who always wears a hoodie and a mask, like... the one in the Spermberggirl video."

Karl smiles thinly, pretending to chuckle. "Hah, maybe it’s just someone who doesn’t want to get polluted or is embarrassed to be caught coming home late. Besides, who would want to disturb others in an apartment like this?"

Jason and Lily nod, although still looking a bit awkward. They don’t seem completely convinced, but Karl is satisfied to see that he has managed to calm some of their suspicions.

"If you see anything strange, maybe it’s best to report it to security. Let them handle it, instead of worrying yourselves," Karl adds, with a serious tone as if showing his concern.

The conversation ends with a small smile from Jason and Lily, who seem to start relaxing. Karl leaves them, going back to his duties at the Convenience Store calmly. However, as Karl walks away and disappears at the end of the hallway, Jason and Lily’s smiles quickly fade, replaced by a wary expression. Jason looks at Lily with a worried look, lowering his voice.

"Do you feel weird, Lil? The way he answered... too calm, like he was ready with all those answers," Jason mutters, biting his lower lip.

Lily nods slowly. "Yeah. I feel that way too. Like he knew we’d ask about that mysterious guy. It feels... off."

They both fall silent for a moment, lost in their thoughts. They know Karl as a quiet and reserved person, but lately, the presence of the mysterious man with a hoodie around the apartment complex and the strangeness in the Spermberggirl video has been on their minds.

Karl works as usual, "Damn, how did this happen? Mr. X, right? I need to check the video."

Karl walks to the bathroom and opens social media, after a few days of being busy because of the affair with someone else’s wife, Karl realizes he’s too caught up in pleasure, until he forgets that people on social media have too much free time and always busy with things they shouldn’t be busy with.

Karl swallows, feeling a cold horror creeping up his spine. On his phone screen, the man in the hoodie indeed wears a mask, and even though part of his face is covered, Karl knows that it’s him. He who was too confident that no one would recognize him, now feels that small mistake could lead to disaster.

His fingers sweat as he scroll down, reading the increasingly sharp comments.

"I think I’ve seen him around some convenience store..." freёnovelkiss.com

"I’m a bit suspicious of someone I met at the gym, but that’s just my feeling. But, their hoodie really looks like kinda same Lol’s!"

"Does anyone know who he is? Is he a witch who likes watching hentai anime?"

Karl starts to panic. On one hand, he can’t let people recognize him and connect him to the man in the hoodie.

"Damn, why does this have to happen?" he whispers, trying to control his erratic breathing. He feels trapped in a trap of his own making.

Busy enjoying his secret life for days, Karl didn’t expect that things he considered trivial—like wearing a hoodie and walking home on a quiet route—would invite suspicion from people around him. And now, every move that was once considered safe has turned into a real threat.

Karl knows he has to do something. Yet, amidst the anxiety gripping him, a thought comes to his mind:

"It’s just CCTV, the CCTV footage is unclear."

"CCTV?" Karl’s eyes widen.

"Darn, there’s also CCTV in the rest room. What if Jane sees that CCTV?"

Fear and paranoia start to cloud his mind, making it harder for him to focus. He looks at his face in the bathroom mirror and wonders:

"How far can I go to keep my secret safe?"

The super power Karl possesses, makes him forget that humans have technology that can track him.

Not to mention he realizes that the events created by SpankSome will not be erased by the universe.

"If Jane peeps that vid, it’s gonna be a total disaster," he thought. Karl started plotting the moves he needed to make. He had to find a way to stop others from laying eyes on that CCTV footage.

Karl strutted out of the bathroom.

He started acting all chill, trying not to make Jason and Lily more sus.

Jason and Lily keeping it sus as heck, after they finished their shift, they decided to explore the route that hooded dude passed through.

"What if Karl is that dude? It’s freakin’ me out, Spermberggirl doesn’t even remember giving head while live streaming. Maybe we’ve done some weird stuff too, but we just don’t recall?" Lily fretting like crazy.

"Chill, Lily!" Jason said.

YO...

A deep voice boomed behind them.
