Chapter 400 Black Tongue (2)

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha What on earth are you doing now?

A deep, thick voice resonates.

Vikir narrowed his eyes as he faced the man in front of him.

The skin visible beneath the uniform was uniformly dark, devoid of a single hair on its smooth surface.

The bulging muscles were subtly different in arrangement from those of a human.

With no eyelids, nose, or lips on his face, the sharp sockets below his pale, torn eyelids and his sharp teeth were plainly visible.

Bubbling

The muscle fibers making up his body moved separately, bubbling like boiling tar.

Major Black Tounge

He held the lowest rank among the five pillars of Nouvellebag, but in terms of seniority, he was second only to Lieutenant Colonel Flubber.

Dordume and Souare have been Majors since the old days.

Vikir scanned Black Tongues entire body.

A cunning hound quickly assessed its prey.

But while he could roughly gauge the extent of his strength, he couldnt yet determine how ruthless he was or what schemes he was concocting.

Therefore, Vikir faced Black Tongue with the most cautious and sensible approach.

I apologize for intruding so rudely Sir. I was just so startled My heart still feels like its about to burst.

Vikir wiped away a bead of sweat, trembling with false humility.

Like a hero of a bygone era who hid his extraordinary abilities from his enemies by pretending to be startled by thunder and hiding under his desk.

Vikirs strategy of lowering himself seemed to have some effect.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

The unpleasant and ominous aura emanating from Black Tongue seemed to dissipate ever so slightly.

Hah hah Are you Garam, or rather, Captain Garam? You dont seem to have as much guts as the rumors suggested.

Given the circumstances, receiving such high praise feels burdensome.

Oh, come on. Going by the rumors alone, youre a complete monster. I actually like seeing your human side for a change, huh~

Oh! Sit down, anywhere comfortable. Dont mind the leeches. Theyre just discarded bits, too troublesome to raise. Apart from being soft, they have no other advantages, so I often use them as cushions, you know~

With a displeased chuckle, Black Tongue turned away.

Every time he moved, the muscles on his back writhed, but upon closer inspection, they were all leeches.

These small, tough leeches seemed to be attached tightly to every inch of Black Tongues body, as if each one were a muscle fiber, forming a tight bond with his entire body.

In other words, he was covered in leeches all over his body, like a suit of armor!

Anyway, I suppose I might be a bit intimidating~ Both in appearance and personality! After all, ordinary guards never have a reason to meet me, right? Even though Ive worked in Nouvellebag for decades, many have never seen me.

The ones I see are always similar. Embezzlement, violating military regulations, moral misconduct, dereliction of duty, disrespect towards superiors All just rotten apples, right? If youve lived a straight and proper life, theres absolutely no reason to fear me. Relax.

Black Tongue continued to lecture for a while, emphasizing that people shouldnt judge others based on their first impressions or appearances and that people shouldnt commit sins.

Finally, he narrowed his eyes while holding a document containing the investigation results about Garam.

Lets see. Garam from the surface born into an ordinary lower-class family had a career slightly below average but recently, his performance has skyrocketed. When was the turning point Hmm, yes After the Night Hound prison break incident, their performance noticeably improved Did something significant happen that led to their awakening? Hm Since then, theyve been steadily rising Like a different person Suppressing a Level 8 prisoner riot and getting promoted Bastillet blatantly admires Garam and gave him a push? Perhaps theyre distant relatives or something like that?

With a tongue tinged black, Black Tongue scrutinized Vikir with a gaze as venomous as a snakes, as if intending to latch onto any tiny gap and suck out whatever was inside.

However.

Yes. Im from the surface. I recently received news that both my parents and siblings died together. I heard that everyone in my hometown suffered the same fate.

Oh? Thats regrettable. What happened?

Demons appeared on the surface and turned my hometown into a sea of flames. I only know the gist of it, so I cant provide detailed information.

Hmm, well, communication between here and the outside isnt that great, right? Yeah, must be frustrating. Anyway, did that incident change you into a different person?

It served as a catalyst.

Vikir, having traversed the era of destruction, possessed abilities to conceal mana and strength to anyone in the current era. Even Hugo couldnt perceive it, so Black Tongue couldnt see through it either.

Hah hah hah Really? Well, if I went through something like that, Id probably awaken too. They said the surface has been in chaos for the past few months.

Is that so?

Yeah. Demons or monsters were swarming, dungeons opened, gates were appearing, or something like that? Anyway, it was a real mess. Thats why Orca, DOrdume, Souar went up to the surface. To escort the increasing number of criminals here. Well, Im just here, so I dont know much about it.

Black Tongue casually muttered and checked various things on the document.

Then, he closed the file with a thud.

Well, interrogations over. Nothing unusual with you. Clean~ Tidy~ Smooth~

If youre done with your business, Ill take my leave.

Huh? Ah~ Even if thats the case, I didnt tell you to leave~ Im a Major. Youre quite audacious, huh?

I have a lot of work. I apologize.

As Vikir rose from his seat, Black Tongue opened his mouth with the same smiling face.

Sit the fuck down.

Come on~ Why the scary face? Relax~ You said it yourself.

As if urging Vikir to stay, Black Tongue waved his hand. His gaze was fixed behind Vikir.

Hah hah hah hah. Wow~ Its been a long time since Ive seen this face~

It was Kirkos face.
