Chapter 301: "The appearance of the Herrscher of Death"

"MOTH had a civil war?"

The current international situation is still as complicated as ever. Who would have thought that when the signs of the apocalypse would arrive, humanity would already war in each other first.

According to the information they gathered, hundreds of fusion soldiers from MOTH had rebelled, and gone into hiding, causing all of them to currently have fugitive status.

These rebels called themselves the [People's Union].

Of course the IPC had contacted them and provided reinforcements in secret. As for its use, only IPC executives know.

This is a political game.

"Su, what do you think of them?"

Seeing the international situation on TV, Su gave an honest comment: "They are the oppressed people. At least, they are very determined to bring down MOTH. 80% of the criminal evidence found on the internet comes from their people."

Kevin also nodded: "They're pretty tough. If it weren't for them, I might never know what kind of disgusting things this international organization like MOTH has done. It's my luck that I joined the IPC."

"By the way, you invited me to go there before, right?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about. Please don't slander me." Facing Kevin's accusations, Su pretended not to know.

Even though his parents were also enemies on one side, what kind of spy couldn't lie with his eyes open?

Kevin, I never lied to you!

"Heh! Turns out it's true, following Mei was the wisest decision!"

"...."

Ignoring Kevin's boasting, Su, who was focused on listening to the news, suddenly heard a familiar voice calling the two of them behind him.

"Kevin, Su, we have a mission!"

Elysia came with a bright smile.

____

City of Zurich, Switzerland...

This place is a trading center and also the most populous city in Switzerland, which has a population of around 400,000 people and continues to increase every year.

Several years ago, the number of people living in this city exceeded 800,000 due to the emergence of the Honkai impact in the surrounding cities and caused an influx of refugees.

As a result, the crime rate here has increased sharply.

"Hiii!!! Please save my life!"

Just got off the port and entered the city. Kevin, Su and Elysia meet a vicious pickpocket.

Throwing the dented dagger aside, and chasing away the pickpocket. Elysia stepped forward, picking up her fallen wallet.

"Mu~ it's not friendly at all here. If things are like this, how will they attract tourists to come to this place?"

Su fixed his glasses: "It can't be helped, the growing population is causing the crime rate to increase. Besides, a few days ago there was news that spread that a great honkai impact had just appeared in this place. Everyone was panicking."

Kevin: "But if the great honkai impact really appeared here wouldn't everyone in this city have to die?"

Su nodded: "That's the anomaly, and that's why the three of us came to this place. Most likely the newborn Herrscher was hiding among the crowd."

It's no secret that IPC has built a machine that can predict the arrival of Honkai impact.

Although not very accurate, they could predict the outline.

Herrscher has certainly appeared in Switzerland, and soldiers and fusion soldiers have been deployed to quarantine this place.

As predicted, a great honkai impact with an energy of 3000 HW appeared above the city, and after that it disappeared without a trace.

This may sound confusing, but it's actually quite simple.

Honkai impact has arrived, and the new Herrscher has also appeared.

However, unlike predecessors, this Herrscher is good at hiding and using city residents as hostages.

The task of the three of them is to find where Herrscher is hiding, and kill that before innocent victims fall.

Kevin said: "Even though you say that, I don't have any tracking skills at all. I'm a Kaslana, I'm an idiot."

Facing Kevin who used his brain less and less after the fusion soldier operation was completed, this made Su even more angry.

You're an idiot, I know that, but why are you saying it now?

Do you want to throw responsibility?

Impossible!

A good friend is to share suffering equally!

Elysia: "Finding Herrscher in the crowd is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But don't worry, detective Elly is here!"

"From now on you two will be my assistants. Su, your pseudonym is Sherlock and Kevin, your pseudonym is Watson. Come on, let's uncover the mysteries in this city together!"

Seeing Elysia who was already excited, Kevin raised his hand in objection.

"Wait a minute, since when did Sherlock become a shenzou people?" Kevin stared at Su sharply.

"Oh, do you want to be racist? But it's a shame, the Sherlock you're referring to is also our ethnicity!"

Su wasn't wrong at all.

At least in this world, the Sherlock in question is a woman who has lived for thousands of years and has changed her identity many times.

Sherlock is one of her disguises.

Facing the valid evidence provided by Su, Kevin still rejected his identity at the bottom.

"Can you find evidence with those narrow eyes of yours?"

"Oh, do you know why roses are red?"

Facing Kevin and Su who were about to fight once again about a trivial matter, Elysia hurriedly stopped the two of them.

"You two, stop fighting! The three of us are teammates, do you remember?"

Luckily, not long after that, they were all picked up by a police car which had been waiting for the three of them from the start.

"My name is Jason, sorry for being late. These days our department has become very busy everywhere especially after the blockade was set. We are really short of staff."

"Are you three the reinforcements the IPC sent here?"

Entering the police car and being taken to the nearest police station, Su, who had the awareness of being a leader, began to take charge.

"It's okay, we all know that you are all very busy. By the way, what about the city's current situation?"

Provide proof of identity, and get to know each other. Su started digging into the police, and he found something that interested him.

"Strange case?"

"Yeah, compared to strange this is more like an act done by those monsters. Have you ever heard stories about flower monsters before?"

"This morning a family of three in a residential area to the west was found not moving for a whole day. The neighbors initially thought they were just a fun mannequin for Halloween celebrations, but suddenly they saw the mannequin's eyes moving everywhere."

Kevin was confused: "So what does this have to do with flower monsters?"

Jason swallowed his saliva: "They are not mannequins, but human skin filled with dense vines. According to the autopsy, somehow those human skins are actually still alive."

This meant that even though the flesh, blood, and bones had been replaced by vines, all of these statues were actually still alive.

They were trapped and unable to move.

Thinking of the vines filling blood vessels and absorbing flesh like fertilizer, Elysia covered her mouth in horror.

"So cruel... Who did it?"

Jason shrugged his shoulders: "If only I knew. This world is slowly becoming a place I don't recognize at all. Monsters like this have even appeared boldly on the surface."

In the back seat, Kevin and Su, who were originally arguing, were now looking at each other's eyes seriously.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Yes, but that could also mean it wasn't Herrscher's doing. However, it wouldn't hurt to go check there."

Nodding to each other understandingly. Su told Elysia about their speculation, and this made her excited.

"What are you waiting for, let's go there!"

"A strange case has been received! Detectives let's go!"
