Chapter 302: "Found Herrscher of Death"

The case of the flower monster.

Yesterday, April 18th, an Oswen family in the western district was killed by an unknown type of vine.

All the victims, who are from one family consisting of a father and mother and a child, have now been taken to hospital for an autopsy.

And since morning, the police have checked the crime scene, and they have found that the vines first appeared from the bathroom drain.

After further investigation, the tendrils of these vines continued to extend down to the underground pipe.

They suspect that the perpetrator who caused the death of this family is currently hiding in an underground channel.

Looking at all the information they had gathered, Su narrowed his eyes.

"Why are there so few personnel guarding this place? Where are they all? Aren't you going to do a search?"

The police officer guarding the crime scene replied: "Currently the police department is still short of available personnel. When it comes to conducting a search, we need to wait for a decision from the head office."

In a sense that adults can understand, waiting is a polite way of saying [no].

Currently all police personnel are controlling the chaos resulting from the sudden implementation of quarantine.

Compared to the appearance of Herrscher among the crowd, for cases such as plant monsters, as long as they do not cause panic on a large scale, the case can be postponed for the time being.

"Why don't we just stop it for a while?"

"You may not understand, but underground channels have a complicated geography and are quite convoluted. We need time to carry out surveys and clear roads that are blocked by mud puddles after rain to reduce the risk of accidents..."

"Stop talking, you're not helping at all."

Su massaged his dizzy forehead.

Kevin, who had been silent all this time, finally asked.

"So, shall we wait for them, or until reinforcements arrive?"

Su refused: "We can't. The Herrscher we are looking for still hasn't been found and don't forget that MOTH is also looking for it. We are all currently being chased by time."

Even though MOTH experienced internal strife, it still wasn't enough to destroy MOTH completely.

MOTH is an organization similar to the UN whose members come from all over the world. One of their bases was destroyed, but they still had thousands of other bases.

They could be slandered by ordinary people, but whatever happened it would not affect their constitution.

The rebellion by hundreds of fusion soldiers for them was just a passing episode that could be resolved through a nuclear bomb if there were any disagreements.

Of course when they hear about the arrival of a new Herrscher, they will scramble to get it.

Elysia: "Then shall we go in? Who wants to explore the way forward first?"

Kevin: "Lady first."

Elysia: "I'm glad you're finally treating me politely. But isn't this a bit too far? After all, I'm a beautiful and cute woman~"

Su: "We adhere to gender equality. So if you don't mind, go ahead. Women first."

At this moment, Kevin and Su shook hands in sync, and smiled with satisfaction and understanding.

Elysia is indeed a woman who is liked by everyone, but what does that have to do with them?

One already has a girlfriend, and the other is Buddha who has no desire for women in his heart.

You're beautiful, so after praising you, are you going to go down there immediately?

Elysia: "Mu~ you men are so impolite! Manipulating a beautiful woman just for your own selfishness, I feel very sad!"

Even though she sounded annoyed, Elysia didn't mind going down there at all. After all, this is just an underground channel, who hasn't been there?

"It smells a bit bad here, and there are a few puddles of water. There's absolutely no problem, this place is safe!"

"What about the vines!?"

"This is hard to explain, you have to go down to see for yourself!"

Believing Elysia's words, Kevin went down first, and Su also entered the manhole as the last person.

When Su landed, he found that his shoes were soaked in a pool of black water, and the surroundings also emitted a very strong stench.

"It smells worse in here than you said. Ugh, where are the vines--- wait a minute...."

While Su was focused on his mission, he noticed something else, causing him to lose focus.

At Elysia's feet right now, there is a crystal plate above the surface of the water, forming a very clean, flat platform.

Kevin was the same, the mud water under his feet froze, allowing him to stand in a dry place without having to get his shoes wet in a puddle of smelly mud.

Kevin: "Su, what's wrong?"

Elysia: "Why are you staring at our legs so aggressively? Are you starting to be interested in my long legs~?"

Su: "...."

Noticing that he was the only one whose shoes were soaked in dirty water, Su began to feel the hatred of this world as a mere human.

Kevin, who watched Su's face change gradually more and more like a devil, hurriedly stopped him from being impulsive.

"Uhum! Don't be angry Su! We really didn't do it on purpose! Isn't that right, Elysia!?"

"Yeah, yeah! We really didn't do it on purpose~! Ehe~☆"

Su: "...."

As expected by a true friend. A few seconds ago we were both in the same gang, but in the next second one of us stabbed each other in the back.

Kevin, wait my revenge!

Hold the grudge, and return to focusing on the main problem. They continued to explore the tunnel, and the three of them found clues that the vines in the tunnel were exactly the same as those on the surface.

Good news, they found a new lead.

Bad news, the case breaks off here.

The vines were indeed coming out of this place, but after looking at the other end of the vines, the plants appeared to be emerging from within the cracks in the wall.

That means the method of following the vines to the enemy base must be lost here.

However...

"I can feel quite strong honkai energy from the tunnel on the left. Let's go in this direction!"

Elysia, who was a pure Herrscher, could of course feel the flow of honkai energy hiding in the walls so easily.

Broken leads?

Absolutely nothing!

We have a traitorous dog here!

Let this Herrscher take them to her teammates!

So, followed the instructions Elysia gave and walked for almost an hour. When they saw the light at the end of the tunnel, they finally got out of that smelly place.

The first thing they saw was a fairly large abandoned factory.

If you make a horror film here, the crew doesn't need renovations and they can just shoot here freely.

As for the others...

The three of them looked at hundreds of human statues, which were currently standing still on the spot, with vines wriggling inside their skin.

"It seems we are getting close to the truth."

Kevin and Elysia took out their weapons at the same time.

Looking towards the building on the third floor, the place where the vines gathered the most, Su began to give orders.

"Elysia, shoot towards that place!"

"Target lock!"

Elysia drew her bow, and began to inject her arrows with honkai energy.

It doesn't matter if it's a Herrscher, or just a Honkai beast. whoever caused this must die!

"Attack!"
