Chapter 149: Some discoveries before leaving the City (2)

Still, Matt soon frowned, realizing these people didn't look at him. They didn't even seem to notice that someone had opened the door.

That made him frown, and he focused on them as he was hidden behind a pillar.

To begin with, this mansion inside had nothing. It was hollow and had a lot of workers with many desks and papers, but one after another.

There were no stairs or rooms or anything similar.

Still, the most amazing thing was not that.

'They are dead...' Matt was stunned after discovering this and appeared before them to test his theory.

They had no blood on their bodies, moved independently, and worked on strange documents. Maybe they were looking at him, but they couldn't think who he was.

'Undead... This is necromancer magic.' Matt quickly looked at everyone he could and soon frowned.

'And it's a powerful one at that.' He thought.

His thought lay in the fact that these guys hadn't turned to bones; they still retained flesh. That meant that the power of whoever controlled them was high enough.

'Besides, it doesn't look like the necromancer magic of humans, which tends to deteriorate the physical body to prevent its subjects from eating each other. This is different... Is it a Vampire Necromancer?'

Still, after thinking about various situations that were popping into his head, he quickly cleared his mind and started researching what he wanted.

These guys worked on many strange documents, but very few had logic. Maybe they (the controllers) were teaching them.

However, the logic behind these was confusing, so Matt found it a little hard to understand. Still, he didn't need to.

He turned around after looking around and walked toward the back of the mansion. According to Philip Baker, he still had to go further down to get to the designated place where they had their meetings, so that's what he did.

Soon, he came to a bathroom, and a huge staircase down was visible to him, which he quickly jumped over.

'If I could find the necromancer controlling them, maybe I could take that pile of corpses for the herb... But that necromancer must be powerful.' He thought and sighed, shaking his head and leaving behind what he had to leave behind.

Then he reached the main basement.

It was also large, but here it was different.

Drugs. This was a clear violation of the laws of the Vampire World and the kingdom, as they sold mind-control drugs, which could kill a person slowly without them even realizing it.

It was a powerful drug, and they had a target population: Orphans, very poor people, or people who had suffered a lot and were at their lowest point in life.

'I see. It's to catch them at their most mentally low so the drug has more control. Everyone outside was first controlled by this and then turned into the undead, as they died in perfect condition, and only the brain was broken down... I guess they're here because they're testing.' Matt thought.

Still, the magic they had to control these guys had to be very powerful for the body's condition to be well maintained, so they were dangerous.

There were also several tons of these drugs here, which made Matt think they were corrupting inside the city as well.

This was just what he needed.

But there was still something else.

The Slaughters.

These weren't slaughters of other races; these were slaughters of vampires.

As he read through the various documents, Matt realized that these guys were the ones who were controlling the slaughter in the different villages he investigated as soon as he arrived in this world.

'A lot of the corpses we didn't get, I originally thought they had been eaten in their entirety by those beasts, but... I see; they were taken by these guys somewhere else. They are very powerful.'

Still, the more he read, the more he realized what he could leave and couldn't.

Soon, he started forging documents. The first thing he had to do was forge the handwriting and make it exactly the same, and then he started writing various things on various documents.

He also forged some 'target' issues, putting in false targets, but they looked realistic.

Also, all the drugs that were here he took with him.

Before leaving, he hid the entrance to the cellar underneath the basement. He might return in the future, and he didn't want anyone else to find it.

After that, he left this place. He left various signs in the main mansion to tell the guys who were preventing his allies from taking these guys away to come and check in case they doubted anything.

He wasn't afraid of being caught later forging things; as long as he was out of Clan City, he should have nothing to fear.

So, a while later, he finally arrived upstairs and found the place thrown into chaos.

Therefore, he spoke.
