Chapter 296: Past Wish
Daelimwon. It was usually a collection of peaceful and laughing villages, but the atmosphere was different now.
Prisoners on the street entered the house and locked the door, and the store was closed, and only minimal facilities were operated to maintain the village.
Armed men patrolled in teams, and the impatient raised their voices to catch the murderer.
silence and tension. A space full of excitement and fear.
Among them, there was a more heavy atmosphere in the middle of the mountain where the rabbits were settled.
–
The torch burned out.
There was still time for the sun to set, but after Behiga and Gelik’s death, the hands of preparing for the night became busy.
increased lighting. The time when the vigilantes send the villagers home.
“Hmm.”
I went out to get some fresh air.
All representatives flocked to the Toin village.
Gelik’s finger came out. Thorough preparations were made to investigate him, and the owner of the house where the finger came out and everyone related to him were investigated.
The suspect was locked in a simple tent and under strict guard.
“It wasn’t in the end.”
“To that.”
The interrogation was held with all representatives gathered.
In conclusion, he was not the culprit.
The alibi is certain. It doesn’t matter as long as the movement inside the Toin village is confirmed, but Taiga, who was dissatisfied, has no choice but to keep his mouth shut because it turns out that he fell asleep while drinking late after having dinner at an acquaintance’s house in the village.
In other words, the criminal said that the finger was a trick to create confusion.
I have a personal conviction here.
‘It’s not Morto.’
The guy is now continuing his investigation outside.
Everyone inside and outside the town is turned inside out to hunt down the culprit. It was unlikely that Morto would have sneaked inside after the murder, hid his fingers, and escaped again.
I wonder if he has the ability to do that.
I talked to Hawol separately. A story about Morto.
Although her personality was a bit crooked, she was a sore finger and gave me a lot of information.
Climbing 78 floors. As a raccoon, they use mysterious abilities, but there are many villagers who have reached the 80th floor.
That you can’t afford to hide everyone’s eyes.
“Thank you for your help. next time i will help Just talk when you need to.”
As I chewed my tongue and pondered my thoughts, Liana approached me.
The prickly rabbit ears folded. It’s strangely similar to Rilka, so I’m a little concerned. Jung Soo-ri looks good hitting honey chestnuts.....
Let’s wake up. You can’t let me lose my mind.
“Is there anything to be thankful for?”
“There are a lot of kids we want to kill first, whether they are criminals or not.”
I won’t deny it.
Seo-ryang, who was encouraging Taiga, who ran amok to start by cutting something first, and asked how he could hear the truth through a conversation.
Chicken Man also agreed because he had a little bit of sediment, and Gray, who had died, also wanted revenge.
With half of them urging a radical choice, except for neutrality, Riana and I were the only ones who supported the suspect’s innocence.
Well, actually, rather than thinking that I was innocent, I was just trying to investigate systematically.
It may have seemed like the only helping hand to Liana.
“Is there really a culprit among us?”
A bit of a nonsense. Liana, squatting next to me, looked down the slope at the village that had begun to light up.
line between trees. Lanterns hanging in rows emit a soft light.
Made of colorful paper, various colors illuminate the town, and windblown leaves flow endlessly.
I looked at him blankly and sat down next to him. I think I’m on a bit of an eye level now.
“I can’t believe it. Gone are the things that cannibalize each other after a wild night.”
“eat?”
“The missing finger. Someone must have bitten it.”
One finger was found.
Three fingers missing from the corpse.
where are the other two? I thought it might be thrown away or a psycho-type criminal might keep it as a souvenir, but I never thought of this.
Liana’s words continued even as her brows furrowed.
“I know. Everyone lives peacefully pretending not to know, but everyone here is a sinner. weak meat diet. survival of the fittest. laws of the ecosystem. There are still many people who have not forgotten that time.”
Prisoners are different from humans.
You have to look at it from a different point of view. Because at the same time as being an intelligent person, the characteristics of each tribal animal remain strong.
It gave them strong bodies and abilities, but at the same time left them with the primal instinct of wildness.
“I bet there are people who like the current situation. There are quite a few who believe Madness Night was right. Although I won’t show it off the outside.”
“I think you’re right. Why?”
I asked a question.
“Why do you think we can unite across species?”
Liana asked the question in reverse.
carnivore and herbivore omnivore.
The characteristics of the animals forming the root are different. Of course, there must have been a lot of things that would cause friction.
There must have been things that looked down on the other person or were wary of them.
Even when I first met Hippotus, he looked down on me.
At the time, I thought it was simply the NPC’s arrogance, but now that I think about it.
I don’t believe it, but it’s okay if you can keep it in front of you and keep an eye on it.
I showed the ring I was wearing on my finger.
thin tree rings.
[Homok Tree Ring]
– A ring made with the raccoon technique.
-FALSE!
He made things out of leaves and said that he was a raccoon beast.
When the caster dies, the ring will also return to the leaf.
He’s still alive and well.
Ha-wol, who understood my meaning, smiled faintly.
“What a funny story you two are talking about! Join me too!”
“Ugh, chicken man.”
“Heh heh. The two of you can’t help it.”
Chickenman, a muscular chicken, and Suin, a sullen cat, interrupt us.
Chicken Man puts his arms around his shoulders, but how thick are his arms...
“Is climbing worth doing? There aren’t that many people who have made it to the 64th floor. The armor is also beautifully dyed. Are you in love? Among the members of the family, there are parrots and peacocks. Are you willing to meet them?”
“haha. Let’s meet again when we get a chance. First, after work is over.”
It’s not the courtship color, it’s the original armor color.
“What? Leave Hawol and meet another woman? Were you a mean man?”
“Yes, nothing. No, when did you see something?”
“That means if you look long enough, there might be something.”
Seo-hyang, who has come to the side, also starts talking to her.
What are you talking about for a long time?
If you make a mistake, it looks like you’re stuck in the tower for a really long time.
To clear the 100th floor and leave before the world is destroyed.
that’s my life goal
“Stop the chatter. It will arrive soon.”
While walking down the street chatting, Hippos scolded them.
As he said, the pond appeared soon after.
Fortunately, it did not appear to have moved anywhere else. It’s good up there.
“The Guardians are dead.”
“All 16 people are dead.”
“Ah, it seems to be true that the culprit used the pond.”
With traces of battle, those who guarded the pond had been massacred.
It’s a sign that’s been a few days already.
Not everyone was surprised. you would have expected
“Who has been using this place these days?”
“Since I learned that Behiga was hurt, I have controlled the pond, so before that must be the last time.”
“It was the turn of the joiners.”
“It folds again!”
The atmosphere is about to get messy again.
You can’t do that.
“Take that later. Let’s focus on the plan for now.”
catch it anyway
the way is here
“But there is a price to pay for a wish...”
“I will do it.”
I approached the pond.
I know roughly how to make a wish.
He grabbed a stone from the floor and threw it.
-A ripple that spreads over
the puddle water.
[What is your wish?]
“I want to know the culprit behind the recent incident in Daelimwon.”
I was nervous.
what price would you ask for? wealth? body? something else?
Some time passes.
[I cannot grant it because it overlaps with a wish I had made in the past.]
The excommunication stopped.
“Have you already made the same wish?”
“Nonsense.....”
While everyone is voicing their voices.....
[The eyes watching the SS-class Power Star are displayed.]
“This crazy.”
[Wish I wished in the past]
-I want to know who caused the crazy night.
I only opened my mouth for another reason.
The culprit who caused the mad night and the culprit of this incident.
is the same offende
