Chapter 20 - Mission and ally

Blood splatters against the walls. Kai slashed at the people he met.

One by one the guards entered and the next time that person would be a lump of flesh split in two. This is part of the plan.

While the auction is going on, Kai will be looking for the owner of the building to complete his mission.

But there was one thing that bothered him.

(Slaughter, so they were ordered to slaughter.)

Before this mission took place, the plan was actually simple, namely to gather people in one place to attract attention. While the other three members will prepare the conditions under which it can be carried out. Whether it was destroying the guards or setting up an escape route.

Or that's how it should be.

Investigating, Kai investigates what kind of people he works with. He gradually begins to pretend to be a member of an organization that believes in justice. It was a face where he became an innocent, naive and ignorant person.

It went smoothly at first until he purposely set up some kind of simple test to estimate what tendencies those people had. The result was surprising, they were madmen, friendly yet hateful faces, blank stares without concern. Even though the conditions are different, the result is the same.

Namely people who will obey orders no matter what happens. A group of hunting hounds that would hunt prey to the death, If their commander said to destroy the palace they would somehow do it.

And the command they gave was extermination. Which also means the opposite of the mission given by Kai.

This is the real test. The woman named Rose obviously wanted to know what Kai was doing. And that also gave Kai another question—

"Tch.. There's nothing here either. "

Breaking down the door and checking the room, Kai didn't find the target he was looking for.

He continued to run with the sword still in its sheath.

There was no need to use magic on the weak guards, he only needed to give some of his physical strength to be able to cleave the guards heading towards him even with the scabbard still tied.

Stabbing the wrist, slashing the neck or crushing the face, Bone is bone, iron is iron. Kai continued to swing his sword.

His black uniform keeps dancing due to the wind pressure he creates, due to the dark color of his uniform camouflage is possible, that's also the reason why Kai sheathed his sword as much as possible so that his slashing attacks could be covered by the dark color.

A few moments passed until he finally reached the last room that Kai hadn't checked. It was a very dark lonely hallway, the only light coming from the side of the slightly ajar door.

Kai opened the door and entered.

Kai can see something strange from the room. The room was very bright even at night, but the strangest thing about the room were the dozens of statues of women.

(This place is very spacious.)

Kai looked left and right, he stepped past the rows of female statues.

It is a very beautiful statue, from head to toe. Every curve of a woman's body from the breasts to the fingernails in the chisel is great. This was a true testament to someone who was extremely skilled.

Even when Kai inspected one of the statues, he could feel the curves in his hair very naturally when his fingers touched the statue.

"This-"

Kai continued, he checked the eyeballs, nose and neck. There wasn't anything fishy, ​​it felt like a statue.

Until finally Kai's hand touched the heart.

"Wait, this isn't a sculpted statue. "

Kai started to get suspicious, he then took off his gloves and tried to touch again with his bare fingers. Then-

(hot, this statue is hot... How come? )

Kai's pupils quivered, his eyes widening like one in shock. If his guess was not wrong, there was clearly something inside this statue.

One would at least need adequate equipment to make such a smooth sculpture, and it was suitable for a noble or a wealthy merchant. Then next is a model that fits and is also suitable for a slave seller.

All the evidence is there and it all fits. Then the last question, do they have the expertise to reach this level?

Even for Kai who doesn't know much about art, his sculptures are clearly of high artistic value. And if it all ends up being mixed with economic factors, this should have a very high value for sale.

If Kai could see the financial records of this place, he would be able to guess exactly what was inside this statue. No, he was already aware of it by now.

Kai then broke the statue's arm. Black liquid started to scatter like spilled beer. The black liquid spread under Kai's Feet.

The liquid is sticky and can stick to the bottom of the shoe.

"Blood, blackened blood," Kai muttered.

His eyes narrowed and his expression sharpened. He looked into the armhole and instantly white twigs like bones fell down.

NOT!

NOT!

The branch bounced slightly and then rolled.

(Human bones. This statue is in print.)

The statue was printed not chiseled, that's what Kai concluded at this time.

(Everything fits, this makes a lot of sense. This was probably the reason why we were sent here, no, wait, that woman isn't someone who would care about things like this.)

Kai gradually began to understand his work. No, it's not work that ordinary organization members understand, but their real purpose is there.

"The narrative about fighting crime, the manipulation of perceptions, and now about this. "

Kai took a deep breath.

Until now the information he got was still scanty, he was still a little assuming. If the estimate was wrong it would be very bad.

"First steps… Foundation, currently being built. "

The organization probably knew all this from the start and they were capable of destroying it at any moment. They already know what people like this are doing, but they still let it go, all that is done to reap the results.

They're setting something up. The seeds haven't been planted yet but they are laying the ground to prepare everything. When is summer or when is winter also taken into account.

And all Kai wants to know right now is what role he gets. What should Kai wake up? then why? And what position is he in? That's the most important thing right now.

As he tried to think again, a loud noise interrupted him.

"Money, you need money? I'll pay 3x the person who sent you, so get away from me," a fat man pleaded for help.

He had a face full of fat, hands, belly and legs full of fat that had accumulated. For some reason people look like big balls made of meat.

The fat man cried asking for his life to be spared.

The person he begged for mercy had revealed himself, it was a man covered in bandages on his face. The same black uniform as Kai shows that he is an ally.

The person saw Kai then greeted.

"Commander, that man owns this place. I let it live for a while to be able to retrieve all the documents in this place, connections, business potential or other details. So now that man I will kill. "

The fat man looked at Kai, he was crying in fear.

Kai realized that. He then threw the statue's hand on the ground and approached the fat man.

He stood right above the fat man, then pulled out a sword.

Kai's eyes sharpened, his lips began to tremble. He then said something.

"All these statues, did you make them? "

"Yeah.." The fat man nodded desperately.

One who has confessed to his crime. Turning humans into statues and selling them as goods, any human who saw that would surely curse him as a cruel demon.

Life is made into an object and then traded, then the perpetrator is now begging to live. Is it still appropriate for such a person to live? Kai started asking about it.

The fat man narrowed his eyes, he realized death was coming for him. Then-

SLASHHH!!!

A flash of light passed in an instant.

Blood gushing, Kai's sword pierced the flesh until it pierced the back. Blood spread to the floor.

But it wasn't the fat man's blood.

"Commander, why?" Kai's ally asked with an angry expression.

Kai's sword stabbed into his heart, the man's pupils quivered in surprise as a sword stabbed into his heart, this was something he hadn't predicted in the first place.

His eyes began to go limp and his consciousness began to fade. Before he finally died, he looked at Kai with an expression of hatred.

"You!!!"

The fat man saw that, his survival instincts telling him to run, So he ran past Kai with a frightened expression.

"Monsters!!! bodyguard!!! There's a monster here—" The fat man's voice was suddenly cut off.
