Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 569

Chapter 569 Burns Quietly

The streets are crowded with people. I don’t know if it’s a compensation mentality for not being able to go out at night or if it’s that I’m going to work hard and rest during the day.

‘Because there were no accidents during the day.’

I picked up an apple from a suitable fruit shop and looked around.

Could the criminal really not be active during the day? That’s not it. Even if you only see Mia right now, it’s because she’s walking around openly during the day.

It must be that you don’t want to make people tremble with anxiety more than necessary.

Right now, there are many people who are aiming for the bounty offered by the lord, and the special lease is also putting pressure on him.

What if you are active during the day here and daily life becomes impossible? At that time, they will catch the culprit even if they blockade the Bant Castle.

He’s a bad guy in many ways.

“The fruit here is delicious.”

“is it so? I think our village tastes better.”

crunchy After biting off the apple, Miya tilts her head.

He talks like that, but he eats more deliciously than anyone else.

“Is it okay to eat fruit or plain food?”

“Isn’t that a monster? They say that if you eat well, temptation will come later.”

Does that mean that since he is not a perfect vampire, he does not need to drink only blood?

I wanted to ask you before, so I stabbed you once. The good news is that you can eat. On the other hand, what will happen if the mutation is completely over and you become a vampire?

Glimpse. I looked at Miya. Although they were working together to find the culprit, the situation was never completely resolved.

It’s just using life water or other potions to slow down the mutation.

Best thing.

‘Even if I stop mutating or become a vampire, it’s just training so that I can endure my thirst for blood.’

If that is too difficult, do you solve it with the blood of the beast like you did before?

I also feel embarrassed because I don’t know much about vampires.

Of course, it’s not like there’s no way.

“Hold on to the bathroom.”

“Bye.”

After entering the alley and making sure there were no people around, I reached out my hand toward the sky.

“The seagulls are chirping!”

It was embarrassing to shout at any time, but this is the most effective contact network except for the community in the tower.

Even the post office seagull in the tower can contact NPCs.

A seagull spinning in the air in the distance flies at me like a shot.

“Ooooh! Evil Eye! It’s been a while since you called! Hurry up and become my performance!”

“haha. This is a very honest seagull.”

I jumped in and grabbed the back of the guy who was about to rub his wings.

“I need information about vampires. A way to quell the bloodlust or stop the mutation. I don’t know about other places, but there might be a way in the Flower and Bird Bureau or Hidden Garden.”

The Flower and Bird Bureau, which boasts the largest size in both name and reality, has almost nothing that it does not handle.

Hidden Garden is proficient in making elixirs and all kinds of potions. He probably has more experience than me, so it might be helpful.

“If you don’t know, ask Rilka too. Stop by Framburg on the way. There will be a letter or mail to send me.”

“Four places in the world! You know, but the cost is not cheap, right?”

“Since when did you ask for that?”

Ting. He even threw a coin generously to the tip. A guy who readily accepts.

“I’m going to go quickly! There are many places to stop by, so I think I will be back in two days. And this is my gift for my best customer!”

The seagull that gave me the briefcase soars into the sky.

“Then have a safe climb!”

“You go carefully too.”

I said goodbye and looked at the envelope.

What is a gift for an excellent customer? In a way, the seagull, the post office, is also the best source of information.

Of course, the security of the personal information of customers and the things they deliver are thorough, so they don’t tell you such things, but the information they collect on their own is enormous as they travel around here and there.

A document that is only one page long. I hardened my face.

‘Is it already this time?’

That’s it if you compress the contents.

“Maybe this is the last time. At most, after one more new climber comes in, no one is invited to the tower anymore.”

I couldn’t see the community because I was climbing. The number of climbers invited this time was very small.

According to the number of people identified by Seagull, there are less than 200 people even if all servers are combined.

Thanks to the strategy I shared, the survival rate has risen significantly, but there are still many people who go outside without being able to climb high.

In particular, the fewer the number of people, the more difficult it will be because there are fewer people to help.

I clicked my tongue slightly at the unexpected news.

‘As we entered the transitional period of destruction, the range in which the existing hunters could be active was limited.’

Considering the monsters that will appear on Earth in the future, those who have risen to the top are needed. In other words, there are almost no top hunters except for those who are climbing the tower right now.

‘Destruction is coming.’

Is it fortunate that Oh Ji-hyeok and other members of the coalition went outside?

It’s the same here, but outside conditions are not good either. In particular, the fact that there are no more climbers means that the resource of a hunter is also limited.

How can the damn destruction be avoided? This is why so many worlds have collapsed.

‘Still, there is a possibility.’

I don’t know how few there are, but there are certainly worlds that have escaped destruction.

One reason I can be sure of this.

“The sword used by Ophelia.”

Was it the sacred sword of destruction? In the explanation seen by authority, it was written as follows. It is a trace of a world that has overcome destruction.

Considering that the owner of the sword was an angel of the 6th Heaven, it must mean that the 6th Heaven did not perish.

In fact, among the Elyos he encountered while climbing the tower, no one from the 6th Heaven existed.

The NPCs here are all residents of the destroyed world.

“I must meet Ophelia.”

“To that.”

Because she might be the one who knows best about how to escape destruction.

It was clear that there was something just looking at the title of Hope of Humanity and leading the Royal Knights.

She seems to have entered the 90th floor, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to meet her soon.

It’s not that I’m not worried, but there’s nothing I can do about it. You can’t just blindly see people climbing and tell them to go outside.

Of course, if the situation is really serious, I don’t know if I should do that.

“Lee Jun-seok must be gathering information.”

The fact that new recruits entered this time means that among them, the personnel prepared by the alliance may have entered.

If you let me know the situation outside, I’ll be able to respond somehow. Lee Jun-seok also takes good care of this.

I decided to leave this part to Lee Jun-seok.

“I must finish this place quickly.”

It’s not just me. Everyone who is currently climbing the upper levels should focus on climbing now.

When things get bad and you have to go outside, you have to be a little stronger to be able to save people.

I let out a small breath and came out of the alley.

“Did you wait long?”

“I understand. It may not come out well.”

The guy who looks at me with pitiful eyes.

No, I’ve been thinking about how to overcome the well-being and destruction of mankind.

done. It was me who left the bathroom as an excuse.

“Didn’t you say this way?”

“that’s right. After Vega came out of the party, I looked around a bit. It’s because I don’t have many opportunities to come to Bant Castle.”

The guy who nodded and walked in front.

From now on, we will move along the same route that Miya moved on the day she was bitten by a vampire.

It might not be as accurate as two months passed, and I didn’t know if there would be any special hints… but

‘I wonder if there will be an unexpected harvest.’

* * *

Hmmm.

evening when the sun goes down.

After sending Miya to the inn, I walked back down the street Miya had walked two months ago.

There was nothing strange about it in the beginning. In the first place, it was near the place where a suspicious but huge company called Vega Party was located, and it overlapped with the commercial district of Bant Castle.

What’s important is what comes next.

As if the castle wasn’t full in the downtown area, Miya wandered around the outskirts where people lived and small shops.

“I heard that there have been several accidents here.”

If you get out of the downtown area, the security is relatively low.

There was a guard, but manpower was limited. Especially in slums and slums, it goes without saying.

Although Bant Castle boasts a fairly large scale, not everyone eats well and lives well. Of course, incidents and accidents do not stop.

Miya didn’t go to a dangerous place either. It is moderately remote and some people live there, but the security is relatively low.

There are a steady number of people who have disappeared or lost their lives in accidents here.

Why are people living in the area still staying?

‘It’s not like a simple murder happened.’

From what I’ve heard from people, it’s more often that people have been killed by accidents rather than someone committing a murder.

Whether the house was destroyed by fire or the building collapsed. Or maybe the dog I was raising bitten.

missing people?

‘It’s a world where there are many reasons to run away.’

I heard that there are people who secretly leave Bant Castle in ways that they might have settled down properly, such as debt, discord, or cheating.

It won’t be that many, though. In any case, it is not easy to leave one’s home. The bullying will also be considerable.

this is pretty good You don’t have to worry about personal circumstances.

But what I find odd is that incidents like this happen frequently. It’s not just here. The same goes for other obscure areas.

Others talk about it a few times, saying that it is bad luck and that the building is old, but what about it?

Isn’t this too artificial?

Maybe I’m sensitive. It could be.

“How could it be possible that none of the missing people in Amman ever returned or were found?”

“To that.”

Shouldn’t at least one show up?

The same goes for dead people. All those involved in the accident died, but few bodies were ever found.

Even if there was, the shape was unrecognizable.

In other words, all those who could be called eyewitnesses at the time of the accident were dead. It is impossible to ascertain whether he died in an accident or for some other reason.

What’s even more surprising is that…

‘The uproar happened, but no one woke up.’

There are many people who woke up after realizing it belatedly.

Besides, all of this happened at night.

At this point.

“I think it would be more accurate to say that the death was disguised as an accident.”

It smells stinky. Might these also have something to do with vampires?

The more you think about it, the more strange things become.

On the day of the accident, there were cases of control, and in very few cases, there were eyewitness reports of seeing unidentified people at night.

I don’t know if that’s true or false.

That was something to find out. Should the timing be good? While walking the streets with Miya, he also found an information guild.

I was able to buy some information, and among them, there was information about places where incidents and accidents such as this place are particularly common.

“Let’s go.”

I plan to go there first.

It’s not too far. the road to the slums.

It wasn’t long before I was in there.

“Oh, ah.”

In the distance, beyond the curtain, I could see a building quietly burning.
