Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Let’s go catch the criminal

Same criminal.

The person who created the worst history of the beasts and the culprit of this case are the same.

I don’t know who he is, but it’s clear that he’s starting a feud.

purpose?

I’m not sure…

‘Maybe he’s trying to cause another night of madness.’

I didn’t know if I was thinking too far ahead.

However, it is not a story so absurd that it is excluded from the possibility.

already have a history The crazy night ended at some point, and the perpetrator may not have been satisfied.

An unknown murder case.

The number of victims increased from 2 to 18.

A number that cannot be ignored.

The target was not even specified. just killed

A situation that makes each other doubt each other.

If this state continues, suspicious people might be executed under the pretext of finding the culprit, and if the sparks spread to other villages… ‘At that time, it

would be a real war.’

From my experience, they cherish the people of their village.

Hippotos was like that, and so was Liana. The same goes for Haul.

Even the simple Taiga shut up as soon as he heard that the suspect was with the Huin tribe.

Chicken Man regards being suspicious of the members as the same as being suspicious of himself.

The rest won’t be too different.

They can be representatives not only because of their simple ability but also because they have the will to protect their people.

All the villages I met on the 60th floor were like that.

I quickly shook my head.

‘Let’s just have this information for now.’

The representatives knew that their wishes overlapped, but they did not know exactly which wishes they overlapped with.

Everyone is suspicious.

He had to have a trump card.

“Hmm, that means there is someone who made a wish before us.”

“I’m sure he’s the culprit, I’m sure he is too.”

“yes. That way, even if someone else makes the same wish, they won’t find out about you.”

“I came here as soon as I killed Behiga. Then the order is right.”

“I agree.”

Delegates also speak.

Yes, that’s the general flow.

The culprit first made a wish to hide his identity.

If I didn’t have the authority, I would have thought so too.

You need to slightly change the direction.

I thought it would be a good way to dig into the crazy night everyone went through, instead of focusing on the recent events.

“I’ll have to collect the body.”

“Hawol please.”

“all right.”

As Ha-wol blows on a leaf, it rises high into the sky.

The leaves turned into huge birds and flew away, so it must be to call people.

Representatives silently moved the body.

After some tidying up.

“How many people know that the pond is here. I heard that Daerimwon residents can make a wish. Does everyone know?”

I immediately asked a question.

I don’t know if it’s cruel, but nothing will change if you stay still.

The culprit is already a murderer who killed 18 people and is a terrorist who caused a mad night.

It was good for everyone to catch it as soon as possible.

The leaders will be cooperative because they know that they must find the culprit in order to protect the members of their tribe.

“Ponds basically don’t stay in one place for long.”

The story started with Seoryang.

“Anyone who finds a pond while wandering through the forest is supposed to report it to the representative. This pond was discovered by Ocean, a member of the Bear Clan.”

A representative of the Ungin tribe asceticism said. First of all, put the beast called Daeyang on the suspect line.

“Other than that, only the representatives know where it is. Even the guys who go to make a wish are blindfolded and we take them by twisting the road.”

“What about the Guardians?”

Taiga asked a question.

“Guardians are the ones who made a promise to protect the pond! I can’t even make a wish, and when I get to the pond, I stay there!”

According to Chicken Man, they are not suspects either.

Some of them are already dead, but they can’t make wishes and don’t come to the village.

The guardians all had red tattoos on their faces. that there is no choice but to be noticed.

I haven’t heard of a Guardian being seen in the village, so that’s for sure.

Putting it all together…..

“You and the person called Daeyang. That’s all I knew. Is there any possibility that the ascetic ocean spoke to others?”

“Anyone who reveals the location of the pond will be punished severely. The ocean has a heavy mouth.”

“Even if that’s not the case, those who find the pond don’t go around saying that they saw it. I only talk to the representative a little bit.”

Howell came to the side.

“Because if you talk about it for nothing, you could be harassed by greedy people. I will be punished, and those who secretly visit the pond will be killed by the guardians.”

“that’s right. Guardians go unpunished even if they kill enemies who trespass into the pond. Rather, they are praised for doing well.”

“They’re also great fighters… but I don’t know how they ended up like this.”

okay.

To conclude, this is it.

“The culprit must be among the representatives gathered here, including Dae-yang. Unless someone discovered the pond before the ocean did.”

“It doesn’t even sound like words! Climbers are talking carelessly!”

Taiga growled, but no one agreed.

Everyone knows that what I said is right.

“No Chicken Man! Seo Liang! Aren’t you angry? That cheeky man said there is a criminal among us!”

“But Tyga Evileye is right. it was better There are fewer suspects!”

“Hehe, the culprit among us… It’s creepy. i love it.”

“Are you laughing at this situation, Seo Liang?”

“How are you, Gray? Isn’t that a situation everyone is familiar with? Killing the beasts among themselves.”

Gray kept his mouth shut.

It’s a familiar situation, so I’m talking about a crazy night.

Already, they are peeping at the madness of that time. I realized that if the case gets bigger, it will be like then.

“Why is everyone like this? Between those who have already seen each other.”

“It’s something I don’t want to remember.”

Gray wrinkled his nose at Xi Liang’s words.

crazy night. The representatives must have bared their teeth at each other.

Liana said. Everyone has sins and madness lurks deep in their hearts.

hunting instinct. reversal of power.

Chaos leads to ruin, but it has a magical power that attracts people.

I glanced at Seoryang.

Unlike the others, he doesn’t mind talking about wild nights. I don’t know if it’s because of my inclination, but I seem to have a lot of interest in that.

I’ll have to talk to you separately.

do that later

“I have an interview. including the oceans. Someone may have discovered the pond before the ocean, but that would stretch the range too much, so I’ll start with you and the nine oceans.”

“Why are you, a human being, leading the investigation?”

“Because he is the only one excluded from the line of suspicion. Raise your hand if you’re an idiot who thinks that someone who just climbed the 64th floor dealt with 18 NPCs and took advantage of the disaster.”

“Turn it off.”

Taiga’s dissatisfaction was quickly put to rest.

Doo doo doo.

footsteps approach

It seems that those who received Hawol’s call came in droves. Looking up at the sky, a bird made of leaves was guiding the direction.

“I go to the conference room and wait. I will interview them one by one. Please recover from the corpse. I’m going to do some research on my own.”

“I see. I called in my trusty warriors, so the pond should be under control.”

Whatever it is, they represent it. The priority was to look after the people.

who arrived shortly after. Armed warriors from eight tribes surround the pond.

The people were divided and the bodies were collected, and the representatives returned to Daelimwon with the warriors.

I headed for the pond.

“Strangers can use the pond… oops!”

The raccoon man tried to stop me, but someone who ran fast hit him in the back of the head.

“Don’t worry, you’ve taken care of the obstruction.”

“Ah, thank you.”

It seems that Hawol said it separately.

Nook Man gave a thumbs up and dragged his colleague along to disappear.

So, let’s do some research.

You can also get quest materials. I think it’s now or never.

I took a bottle from my treasure bag.

Just in case, I took out three and floated the pond water.

[Water of the wish-granting pond]

– The power of disaster did not dwell.

– Plain water.

Water itself doesn’t seem to have any special abilities.

I don’t know why Rilka wants this, but I have to bring it.

After checking the quest window, he showed his authority.

-Chi-Zu-Zu-Zu

A feeble halo of light spreads, and information about the pond comes to mind.

[A pond that grants wishes]

-A disaster.

– What do you want?

– How to seize opportunities when they come.

– Judge for yourself whether the wish-granting pond is an opportunity!

A meaningless explanation.

What I want is something else.

“Who is the person who made the wish?”

I tried to read the information by adding strength to my eyes, but there was no change.

also can’t Well, my authority isn’t psychometry.

I thought it was a little easier to go with authority, but it doesn’t seem like that.

I walked around the pond with a sad heart.

I wondered if there was any trace left by the culprit.

footprint. bloodstains. fragments of weapons and so on. I looked at anything that caught my eye.

-Sueuuu

A leaf fell to me like that.

It wouldn’t be strange if I just passed by, but for some reason my eyes went to him.

He bent over and picked up a leaf. It looked normal, but

‘The writing on the back?’

When the leaves were turned over, letters appeared.

– I found a clue. come here Mortoga.

The corners of the mouth go up.

Morto This guy hasn’t been playing all this time.

It must have come here before us and found clues.

The writing on the leaf disappeared and a map appeared.

Morto must be hiding here.

There was still time before it was night. Representatives will also need some time to gather in the conference room.

Let’s meet Morto first.

I moved on.

* * *

The sunset is setting.

As the representative meeting room is located on a high place, you can see the sunset clearly.

The sun radiates yellow as it climbs over the mountains.

Subtly warm sunlight enters the conference room and long shadows curl like snakes.

Sitting in the conference room is Xu Liang, a cat beast.

Her eyes twinkled as she sat in the shade.

The other representatives have already finished the meeting and returned to the village.

In common, the movements of the last three days were confirmed. I also listen to advice on personal opinions or questionable parts.

“Is there anything else you want to ask?”

I stood up from the window where I was sitting on the horse of Xu Liang, who was lying on the table.

He pulled the chair in front of her and sat down.

“Xiliang knows about Mad Night, right?”

“I know a little bit. Everyone keeps quiet, but I think we should see and accept it properly.”

I do not deny it.

That’s why I left her last.

“Can I hear the story in detail?”

“That’s not difficult.”

“Does Wild Night have anything to do with the wish-granting pond?”

“Oh right. Everyone was crazy that night. sequencing.”

Xi Liang raised his finger.

be the sequence

“Each of the Beasts has an animal as their background. It was to follow the natural law as it is. There was no one to say first. The Hoin tribe and the Tow tribe fight, and the Join tribe participates in the war. The Myoin tribe attacked the Ungin tribe. Wolves seem to have been seen on every battlefield beating raccoons.”

“Where was the fox?”

Xu Liang’s eyebrows twitch at the word fox, and the corners of his mouth rise.

“I met Rilka.”

“yes.”

He is also an heir.

“that’s right. The Beasts were originally 12 tribes. 3 tribes are wiped out during Madness Night. The fox was still alive then. It was pretty powerful.”

“Not now.”

“Do you know how the crazy night ended?”

I shook my head.

I haven’t heard how it ended.

“The head of the fox tribe made a wish. Be aware that Madness Night was both a rank order and a war over the pond. At the time, the fox tribe occupied the pond.”

Xu Liang leaned over to me and narrowed his eyes.

“The moment the head of the fox tribe prayed for an end to the war, a dimensional rift engulfed her daughter. A complete separation from my daughter was the price.”

That’s Rilkago.

Victims of the end of the war.

“Precisely, that alone wouldn’t have been the price. The rest of the tribe swarmed and annihilated the fox tribe, claiming that the great cause was blocked. After that, they came to their senses and signed a peace agreement, and they are idiots.”

sarcastic speech. It was also self-help.

She pointed to a chair with her chin. 9 chairs.

“It was because of remorse that I let the fox tribe sit in the conference room. The pond that was the cause of it is being used sparingly, though.”

“Xiliang doesn’t like ponds.”

“I hate it.”

I stared at her.

“The perpetrator of the wild night has not yet been caught. Who do you think would have done that?”

“Ummm, I don’t know.”

She looks away and rubs her fingers. A gesture that clearly has someone in his heart.

She is a representative of a tribe. I’m afraid to say anything because there could be a problem.

-Sueuk

took out the object given to Morto and held it out to her.

A note with the name of the alleged culprit was also included.

“Do I look like this person?”

The corner of her mouth rises gradually. Both eyes flash dangerously.

“…Actually, I think so too, it’s just that there is no evidence. But what does this have to do with this case?”

“The person who caused the crazy night is the same person as the culprit in this case.”

“what!”

“In addition, I can roughly guess what this person wished for this time.”

I bent my index and middle fingers into hooks.

In that state, I pretended to scratch the back of my neck.

At first, he didn’t know what it meant, but Seo Liang jumped up from his seat.

“no way.”

“yes. Behigawa and Gelik were not killed.”

You cut yourself in the back of the neck.

Then everything makes sense.

A wound that was subtly different in size? That’s because the two fingers are different sizes.

Why didn’t Morto see the target he attacked in the neck? Because no one attacked. Who would have known that he would suddenly do something like that during sparring?

The reason why only Behiga was bleeding profusely was because he and Gelick had different skills.

discovered during investigation. Behiga had a bleeding skill.

The culprit just pretended they were murdered. to create confusion.

I got up from my seat.

Now is the time to see the end.

“Let’s go catch the culprit.”

Morto was already on the move. To move other representatives, starting with Haweol.
