Hunter of the Perished World

[94] Kings, and Groups (4)

Gene arrived at the central building used by security observers in the past, a building used by gangs in the Free City that was relatively well managed and had the best conditions to defend such as a gun rack.

Slatters from the group of Assault Riflemen were working on their respective missions. It was substantially no different from the military, and on the one hand, I was doing my job, including slatters returning to work and those adjusting zero points.

There won't be more than a hundred garrisons, but this alone won't be a problem dominating the Free City on fire.

‘This is like an army. ’

They only look like slatters, but they don't actually act like slatters.

“Bitch, I'm getting bored just eating potatoes. ”

Of course, in a mixture of occasional complaints, we could see that their desires were not castrated, but endured.

Since they do not eat meat, their mouths are bored and they cannot stand it, and meat means the human beings they used to enjoy.

The sight of the time bombs coming together as an army was all over the place.

Slater takes Gin inside the building first, and Gin waits outside.

It was a situation that could not be more beneficial than this. Train the fanatics and use them as a shield to protect the villagers. From the looks of it, the slatters were only on a set mission, and they didn't suppress or do anything about it.

‘Maybe he's seeing the Devil Hunter's first deviation succeed...' ’

Everyone has failed so far, but that doesn't mean that they will fail. The Sorceress may be the only one who has succeeded.

The group left Eastern soil and came here, and the leader has no idea why it was replaced. In practice, however, the group seemed to be having a quite positive impact.

I want control, not annihilation. Thus, the group did not appear to be more cruel than necessary. Taking everything we've seen together in Shane, it just looks like a free city with a strong guard.

Slater returns while Gin is lost in thought.

“The administrator wants to see you. Follow me.”

Slater leads, and Gene follows.

‘Administrator...' ’

As the head of the group overseeing the city, it's not that strange to call it that, but somehow Gene found it awkward and unfamiliar to say that to Slater.

When I walked into the group's administrative office, there was a slater with a bumpy muscle tone. He was sitting in front of his desk, with blank sheets and books in front of him.

‘After living, I see everything...' ’

At one time, Gene had no choice but to doubt his eyes as he watched Slater wrestling in front of the document, who had once enjoyed a human dinner and slaughtered people.

“Are you the hunter? ”

“Yes.”

He straightens up the paperwork, pushes it to the side, and points to the old couch across the street.

Above all, he was acting reasonably more unfamiliar. Seeing Gene now was like seeing a prisoner serving a long term sentence become a mayor, and even seeing him doing it well again.

However, his face felt pale because he was suffering from something that was not right. Whether there was a problem with his health, he had a bold look.

“Greetings first. I am Bulbi, the king's appointee of Shane's administration. ”

With a proud expression and voice, he reached out his hand.

“Jin, you know.... ”

And the gin he held in his hand was frozen solid.

"Why are my hands so cold? ’

However, Gene did not panic.

“He's a hunter.... ”

After a short handshake, Gene forgets the horse for a moment in the tension and awe that flows along his back. The administrative officer was pale in color. At first, I thought it was because I was overwhelmed, but it wasn't. As it turned out, it spoke and moved like a human, but there was no body temperature that was absolutely necessary for humans.

Others think the clerk is just unwell or in bad shape, but Gene doesn't accept it that way.

It's a corpse.

The slater in front of Gene's eyes was a corpse.

“We will rebuild our families one day. ”

Leona played with the children. To be precise, it was a good fit for their secret conversations. The children said they would seek revenge, and the group would pay for insulting us one day.

Within it, Leona learned about Shane's history, how it dominated, and how its inhabitants lived.

These were not just childhood pranksters, they were actually members of the Skull family, one of the three gangs that dominated Shane.

After the three gangs were disbanded, all families had to become part of the city. Groups were not allowed to form such groups of all kinds, and gangs had to do something to make ends meet or make a living.

But as a child of the gang, it was hard to endure that situation. Therefore, now the adults of the three gangs were silent, and the children voluntarily gathered together to form three groups.

Of course, Leona thought it was just gangsta stuff that didn't bleed out in her head, but for now, she was fighting back.

Groups that share the same ritual often have nothing to say to each other. In that case, the best thing is that you don't know anything.

When asked about things, they say things to appeal to them and to remind them of their commitment. Leona was enough to just ask.

“Why do you have to take it back? ”

“It's not about getting it back. ”

“And?”

The boy said solemnly with a firm expression.

“They dishonored the family. This is not to reclaim our territory, but to restore our vile honor. ”

Considering the moment of surrender, the boy's eyes shivered with anger, and other children became accustomed to the boss's reaction.

The three leaders of the family had to kneel before Asura and hit their heads on the ground. Until Asura tells me to stop.

The pride of the three gangs was shattered. The gang history, which was thought to continue until eternal rebellion or the opponent was trampled and torn down, came to an end as if it were a lie.

The three chiefs joined together in a row and worshiped the king nine times.

The villagers were cheerful, and the gang realized that everything they had built was a lie.

But I didn't accept that reality as much as the children did.

“I'm going to kill my breath now, but one day I'm going to take out the group. Shane will have another family, and then there won't be two other idiots. ”

The Mafia Dream Tree burned with enthusiasm.

Is that what you're doing, playing gangster in an alley? ’

Tingly, it looks ten times more pathetic than those poor bastards, so Leona pushes what she wants to say into the chimney.

At this point, the purpose of information gathering was achieved. As Leona was about to leave, the boy said.

“Hey, you said Leona. ”

“Why?”

“I thought you said there was a hunter in your group. ”

“Yes.”

“Aren't you leaving soon? ”

“Er... I'll be gone in a few days. ”

“Yes... Maybe you came to us for an opportunity. ”

“Opportunity?"

“Tell him that his successor, the Skull family, wants to talk. ”

Out of nowhere, Leona opens her eyes wide.

“I have a quest. ”

That said, Leona couldn't laugh at me anymore. Kids aren't laughing anymore because they're gangsters.

In the end, children are serious in their own way.

And if it's this serious, I can't laugh at it anymore. Above all, it was a boy who eventually occupied one of the gangs that ruled a city.

At sunset, the people who finished their work gathered at the lodge. Everyone has told me the facts. Among them, there were overlapping stories and unlikely stories. The first rate of information was about how the group dominated.

The first thing I reported was the supersonic rate.

“This city was originally under the rule of three gangs. They fought mainly for control over drug trafficking. The group dominated Shane and seized and destroyed all kinds of narcotics. So all the local drug dealers lost their jobs. Some of them make and sell fake liquor, but I don't think they're going to last long. ”

“Why are we confiscating drugs? ”

I smiled bitterly at Jean's question.

“I did not allow the people the freedom to sell their bodies and minds to these things. And he said that. ”

It was by Azura's command. That was the business I was in, so the merchants were looking for a way to live, and the result was a fake drink.

The gangs lost their territory first in a group raid, their drug trafficking and manufacturing was cordoned off and their capital lost. Something close to a chain reaction has happened to Shane.

Once the group had fully blocked the drugs that had been consuming Shane, the group was still put on death row after finding out who secretly manufactured the drugs. Slater's surveillance was this bad in Shane because he had gang reorganization, but he didn't know where the drug trafficking would be.

Ramfil found out something like that.

“The gangs, I don't know, seem to think the common people are very welcome to dismantle them. I have a fundamental fear for slatters, but I feel more comfortable with the unity of taxes. ”

Leona opens her mouth as if curious about what she said.

“Don't you think if drugs hit you like that, you'll have homeless people? ”

When the addiction gets worse, you end up a vagrant. If drugs were playing at the city level, it would have been a big deal. Leona found it odd that the gang took that risk and was actively distributing drugs.

“If the addiction gets worse, the gangs sometimes lock people up to prevent the vagrancy. And then they steal chips or they make debts in the name of medical expenses. ”

As the addicts get worse, they manage them as gangsters. And charge chips for medical expenses. If you don't have the chip, leave it in debt. If it is difficult to live to repay your debt, you will have no choice but to leave the addiction and get your hands on the drugs again. I had to put people in such a vicious cycle.

As soon as he put his hands on drugs, he became a gangster slave forever.

“Oh my…. Clever bastards. ”

Leona speaks admirably and contemptuously at the same time. And I could only imagine what a shameless boy named Truan had done to honor his family.

“Since the gang's disappearance has obliterated all debt, willful or otherwise, and the tunnel has been dismantled and the property of the dominant party has been confiscated, it is a good idea for the group to be a burden to the residents. ”

“I see.”

Leona nods.

After all, one problem was solved and another problem came into existence, but it was still an observation phase. Ramfil added one last time.

“But no matter how residents accept the group, we don't know why slatters can suppress their nature and be tamed by the group system. I can't decide whether Azura has that much power or what... There are rumors of Azura dominating life and death. If Slatters are obeying him because of his fear, that makes sense. ”

When Ramfil said that, the answer was Gin.

“That's somewhat true. ”

“True?”

“I don't know about life, but it certainly seems to be affecting death. I think I know how Asura trained those slatters efficiently. ”

Gene just met with Shane's Administrator to teach him a quick way to deal with ghosts and how to deal with them. He was rewarded with some chips. There were complications, such as going through a validation process to see if it was actually working.

Gin felt strongly about the group's dominance by asking around or returning to Shane's current situation because asking directly might look suspicious. But it's not much different than the rest of the party would have noticed.

The group controls Shane as a city, and if necessary, commandeers supplies and chips. In the long run, they were looking to expand their energy base and build production facilities, including manufacturing factories, but that was later.

Gene found out more important than that.

“Azura deals with commandery. ”

Leona and Ramfil just tilt their heads, but the chronological rate of knowing what it was was was suddenly on its feet.

“Don't, don't, don't! Sa, Sa, Sa, Sa, Sa, Sa, Sa, Sa, Sa, Sa, Sa! ”

“I saw it with my own eyes, so sit down. ”

Gene calmly began to explain.

“Shane's enforcer from the group is a corpse revived by commando. ”

Of course, not only was Leona and Ramfil talking at the beginning of the year.
