YM778.TV Chapter 5: Morph Ability
Jin pushed the blanket off him and sat on his bed with various thoughts lingering in his mind. He felt a sting on his forearm and shifted his vacant gaze towards it.
It was the bite mark he got yesterday when he tried to stop the cop from shouting.
A part of him was angry at himself but another part of him was amazed. How was it that he was able to kill that cop in the most efficient manner he could have thought of? Shouldn\'t a normal person who had never murdered a person before run away the moment he is faced with such a situation?
\'Am I a talented killer or what?\' Jin lampooned himself with a dry chuckle.
He shook his head in derision and that was when he suddenly remembered about the \'Hitman System\' which he had seen yesterday.
Too much had happened the night before and the thought of this system never entered his mind until now.
He thought of displaying the Hitman System panel in front of him and the transparent panel soon appeared in front of him.
***HITMAN SYSTEM***
Name- Jin
Age- 22
Height- 183 cm

Body Constitution-Extremely Poor
Mental Constitution- Poor
Ability - Training (NEW!), Morph (NEW!)
Kill Points- 60
...…..
Jin noticed that his \'Kill Points\' increased by 50 points. \'Is it because I killed a cop?\' He thought to himself. The other day when he accidentally killed a thief he got only 10 points but now he got 50 points all of a sudden.
"I don\'t know what these points do but is this system trying to turn me into a mass killer or what?" Jin mused out his thoughts.
Even if that was the case Jin shook his head. He knew well for a fact that if he went on a killing spree like a madman then sooner or later he was going to get caught and put behind bars.
His eyes then glanced at the ability \'Morph\' which he didn\'t check yesterday. He raised his finger and tapped on the ability and a small panel opened up.
***Morph***
The host can change his appearance as per his will.
|Appearance (0/10)|
|Activate|
Conditions:
1. The host must have physically touched the individual after pushing the \'Activate\' button.
2. The number of appearances that can be stored at a time is 10. It is preferable to look for individuals with the same physique as the host.
3. No time limit. The host can take on the new appearance for an indefinite period.
4. To choose an appearance press the \'Appearance\' button and choose the appearance you desire. Number 1 is by default host\'s appearance.
...
Jin\'s eyebrows furrowed when he looked at the long list of conditions that appeared in front of him but he still pushed himself and read it because the more he read the more excited he became.
\'I no longer need to worry about being caught!\' Jin thought to himself in jubilation as he once again read through the conditions to make sure that he remembered them all by heart.
Once he read through it again ideas started popping up in Jin\'s mind regarding how he could utilize this ability to make sure that he won\'t ever be caught.
Even now there were chances of the police conducting a thorough forensic check in order to find the culprit...but what would happen if the culprit started changing his appearance each time the police were on the verge of catching him?
\'Hehe...they\'ll never catch me,\' A large portion of the tension which was brewing in his mind disappeared because of this. Jin looked at the time and it was close to eleven in the morning. His stomach growled soon after.
After eating breakfast Jin started getting ready for work. A part of him wanted to escape from this area as soon as possible but he knew that today of all days he must go to work. If he didn\'t then the suspicion around him would increase by a lot.
Jin soon left his house. On the way to the station, he noticed that the number of people surrounding the murder site had increased considerably.
He could sense how tense the environment was there from a distance. He didn\'t go to enquire like yesterday because unlike yesterday he was clearly aware that this was all his doing.
Jin walked briskly towards the railway station and managed to reach there on time. His colleague \'Ken\' was glad to see him in time.
"I would have given you an earful along with the team leader if you were late even today," he joked to which Jin only chuckled.
He had only a surface level of relationship with everyone...he didn\'t remember when it started but since the death of his parents all the relationships he formed were only surface-level ones.
The team leader soon arrived and after signing on the registers they all went to their designated posts for cleaning.
Jin had initially thought of doing his work as usual but an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Wasn\'t he looking for a few suitable appearances? What could be a better place than a crowded railway station where people didn\'t mind if they were \'accidentally\' touched by someone?
With this in mind, Jin activated the Morph ability and started looking for individuals whose physiques were not much different than his.
It didn\'t take a lot of effort from his side to find them. With a broom in his hand, Jin moved towards the first target. He tapped him on his shoulder and requested him to move aside.
The man gave a cursory glance to Jin and moved aside.
Jin then squatted down to collect the plastic waste nearby with a wide grin on his face.
