"Labyrinth Boundaries, Expansion"

Slam on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

Let [the labyrinth junction] unfold around one of the abandoned houses in it.

"Chip."

I hear tongues pounding from inside the abandoned house.

"I'll get in your way."

Almost opens the decaying door and goes inside.

Inside the abandoned house, there are worn out beds and tables, and then a boro cloth is placed in the corner of the abandoned house that seems to have used old clothes just because there is something like a crate, so I guess it is minimally cleaned, but there was so much discrepancy that I didn't think it was the same city as the auction venue I was in very earlier.

It was Ira and Melissa who brought him here.

Iris was still sleeping on the couch and also left Sylvia in her care.

Nevertheless, in [Labyrinth Tone], the information is always shared, so they were also aware of the current situation.

"Nice to meet you, okay?

"... oh"

A guy in his late twenties with gray hair who slept in a bed in his room nods.

The man wore superior clothes that didn't look like slums and was in good shape. But he didn't look like a very healthy man because he was in such a gullible shape that he thought he was too thin.

A man stares at me when I wake up only my torso.

But I'm not scared at all because I can tell from a glance that I'm not strong.

"You're the body of a guy with [possession] skills."

"How dare you interrupt me?"

"Out of the way? It seemed like a thief who was just a little popular with the people as a prostitute, but what I'm trying to say is a thief. Stolen people are annoyed, and some of the same aristocrats were frightened that they would be attacked."

It's only natural to be interrupted if you run into an act of robbery or something.

If you wanted money, you should have worked properly without bothering people and dreamed of winning a thousand like me and challenging them to the labyrinth.

I don't have time to complain about stopping burglaries.

A man's gaze swims.

"Ira."

"Yeah."

Ira, who came with me to the abandoned house, approaches the crate that was placed in the corner of the abandoned house.

I try to stand up to inhibit it, but my intimidation keeps the man from moving out of bed.

"Wow, great money"

Ira leaves the chest locked with a sturdy key open.

There were many gold coins in the chest, and there was a dim slam that looked glowing.

"The money you got from selling stolen goods?"

What the hell were you going to spend all this money on?

I don't know, but this needs to be returned to Rio as evidence.

Put a chest full of gold coins inside the toolbox (item box) that Ira raised the chest from me.

"My money!

- Cancer!

Stand up against intimidation, but the momentum of the man is sharpened with a knife pierced by a clear murder weapon on the floor in front of him.

"You - there's something I want to ask Knock."

"How do you know my name!?... those two talked"

It's not strange if you already know the names of the two captured thieves in the interrogation.

And it is known that someone is behind them because [possession] was used to make contact within the middle of the night of the first day they were caught and the next day they were moving to deactivate the possession object. If it's the name of the person, he could have spoken.

I guess that's what you think.

"I'm sorry, but your people are not talking about you, who are behind this, even if they talk about their names."

I know the results of the interrogation from Rio.

Their loyalty to the mastermind was real, and they didn't even try hard to admit that there was a mastermind in the interrogation.

Yet what Knock did was a terrible disposable trick.

The consciousness stripped from the body of the bandit gong went towards the alley near Imperial Castle, so when Rio let him search the vicinity, the body of the escaped bandit bong was found pierced with a spear in his custody.

Then the death of the Thief Gong has also been confirmed after the battle.

It's a dramatic overboost that strengthens my skills, but I should have been able to live for a day or so, even with side effects. Those who examined the body said that it was likely that he had died soon after the battle because the reinforced skills had been forcibly released, which had put more loads on the flesh than expected.

I just couldn't have expected my skills to be strengthened with drama drugs, and I didn't expect to die from forced disarming.

There were a lot of circumstances I had to ask, but the only person I could already ask was the person in front of me.

"Then how did you know!

"We can use a little special [appraisal]. Thanks to you, I can see all the statuses, including your name."

[Possession] I couldn't see everything in the state, but when I saw him in front of me in this way, I could peek at everything, including details.

Definitely, this guy is a labyrinth associate.

However, if you are not a Labyrinth Master (Dungeon Master), you are not a Labyrinth Servant (Dungeon Servant).

I couldn't see the details, so I tortured her and tried to make her throw up, but now I can peek at everything, so I know why.

"You're here to get me."

"I do catch you, but I need to ask you something personally before I do."

Still, there is information that does not appear.

Regardless of Rio, the labyrinth lord, you must hear within the moment that if you turn yourself over to the Empire, you will no longer be able to hear it.

Before that...

"Melissa."

Ask Melissa, who came with me, to use wind magic that doesn't leak sound outside.

We know by the signs that there are vagrants everywhere in the slam and no one nearby, but just in case you need to be pushed and not asked.

"Who gave you Fake Nucleus?

"What, is that...?

You really don't get it. Knock was leaning his neck.

But the physical evidence is in front of us.

"This is it."

Hidden chest in Knock's clothes.

"Pseudonuclear" embedded in his chest was visible from the part where he could peek slightly because he slept until just before.

"I can't believe you used a" fake nucleus "like this."

The labyrinth nucleus (dungeon core) was also surprised by the identity of [possession].

"Was this such a name?"

"You used it without even knowing your name"

I just have to be shy.

The fact that you don't even know your name is likely to mean you don't even know the disadvantages.

"Your [possession] is too powerful compared to normal [possession]"

According to the description of the labyrinth nucleus, if someone's body is to be dominated by a general [possession], the body can only take over the body using the skill for a short period of time, and cannot peek into the memory of the body taken over or move from the body taken over to yet another body.

"Your [possession] is a skill enhanced by 'Pseudonuclear'"

"Oh, yeah. The skill I originally had was possession of a doll, and traveling about 100 meters from the main unit was the most fragile skill I ever had."

It's more efficient to travel by yourself if you're traveling that far.

Possession is also a doll, and they think it's suspicious just because they find it at first sight.

Even if I just asked a few questions, I would judge it an unusable 'hassle skill'.

"So I was happy when he gave me the magic tool to enhance my skills."

The enhancement made it possible for people to possess it, and by increasing the distance they could travel and relaying a number of bodies, they could go anywhere.

"The more time this magic tool goes by, the more I get used to my body. Now I think I can get to the next city while I'm in Imperial City."

"I'm afraid I'm not familiar with your body"

"What..."

It is the same in essential parts as the 'pseudonuclear' that produced the giant demon.

It undergoes phenomenal transformation by taking in the magic of its surroundings and degenerating matter.

Instead of demons, the skills acquired by people with skills strengthened the skills the demons possessed without being born.

But it's not a situation that lasts forever.

"If we keep taking in magic like this, we won't know what kind of transformation we're going to make."

In the worst case scenario, it can be a monster that calls for catastrophe like a giant demon.

That could be the monster that fought the Sylvias.

"O, I..."

You've imagined where you came to look like that. Knock shifts his gaze from me.

Until now, he was a benefactor who strengthened his useless skills, but distrust began to solicit him knowing that it was a dangerous substitute he had been given.

"Tell me. Who gave you the 'phony nucleus'?

So I can ask about the real mastermind.
