Hunter of the Perished World

Ramfil and Leona have no idea what a shit-chewing gin would say.

Demon hunters were beyond common sense in many ways.

”I don't want you to breathe this way. “

Ramfil's face shivered when he sighed. Gene frowned.

”Stop talking nonsense and follow me. I'm going to the new plantation.“

The business at the Sunset Garden is over. As Gene attempts to mount the wolf, the wolf retreats slightly.

Rrrrgh...

”He knows you ate shit, too! “

Leona laughed as if it was funny, Jean got all riled up and the wolf chirped! I fell down quietly with a loud voice.

Gene did not understand whether the action he just did was shocking enough to live with such a reaction.

The new plantation was located near the Saigon River, just south of Twilight City, rather than at sunset. The vast flower garden that cut down the forest was managed by the members of the Twilight Bridge, unlike the Abandoned Sunset Garden.

Of course, it was an important place, so no one could enter. The guards were on high alert, and the orchard managers were all there because they might be addicted to the work.

However, they were all just avoiding the sun in a large worker's hut.

It means there's nothing to work on.

”There are no weeds here. “

”I'll pull it out when I grow up. “

The flower garden in front of them was barren. Now that the managers have eliminated all the weeds, the weeds must sprout. But there was nothing there. The weeds are pulled out, and the Venflower doesn't bud, so all you see in front of you is just a brown, bare plain.

As a strange visitor approaches, a guardian slowly approaches, and his face is full of helplessness.

”Brother, what brings you here? “

”I am acting on Oracle's orders. “

Gene showed me the token he received from Oracle, which guarantees Gene's activity within this Twilight City area. The Guardian sees the token and straightens out.

”Well, that's... “

It was no different than the people playing, so it looked like a difficult scene.

”Never mind. I don't think I have anything else to do anyway. “

”… Thank you for your understanding. “

Gene approaches the hut, and the head of the flower garden steps forward as the guardian explains.

”This is High Septon Hodran. Nice to meet you."

”Call me Gene. With Oracle's orders, I came to resolve the situation, so please cooperate. “

”Yes, feel free to look around. “

He didn't know how to solve this unpleasant phenomenon, so there was great agony and guilt on his face. It was as if this had happened because of his lack of faith, as well as others, his appearance had been compromised.

The user sows its seeds and pulls out its weeds, waiting for them to sprout.

It was once a very noble thing to maintain the foundation of the Church, but now it is only a worthless labor for which there is no return.

That's why their faces were filled with helplessness.

”Is the seed not germinating? “

In Jin's question, Hodran nods.

”Yes, no soil will bud. “

Hodran did everything he could to make the bud grow. I also planted the seeds on the ground well chosen to make the seeds in the flower garden myself. But it didn't work.

”Hmm…. Seed problem, I think. “

Wherever you plant it, it doesn't bud. It means that the seed is defective.

”I think so... I don't know why all the seeds won't budge. “

”A plant has a collective epidemic, and the effects of the epidemic may not be seeded. “

”We tend to leave a little seed behind for generations to prevent that. However, it does not germinate without exception. “

”Hmm…. We'll see. I'll get some seeds. Is there anything left? “

”Yes, here it is. “

On one side of the hut, there was a seed waiting to be seeded, and Gene took a handful of it and put it in his mouth as before. Hodran was frightened to see it.

”Oh, no! “

Venomous herbs, even seeds, have poison. That is why it was a suicide if the person who was not a priest took it lightly.

However, Gene greets Hodran as if he were fine, and chews the seeds in his mouth.

Rrrrgh!

”She's not a child. Why don't she put it in her mouth? “

Leona laughs to see if that gin looks fun.

As the seeds shredded, Gene examined the analysis. Deadly toxins have also been identified, and these are usually the toxins that Benflower had in its possession.

” ……. “

And after checking all the information, Gene spits out the seeds.

”I knew what the problem was. “

In Gene's eyes, there was only one message.

[Irreversible changes in biofunction identified due to the action of toxin 42.]

Jin looks at the message and says slowly.

”All the seeds are dead. “

”Dead?“

Hodran jumps at Jean's words and greets her. Gene frowned. This is not a natural disaster. Of the many toxins that have emerged since the apocalypse, toxin # 42, which is stored in the darkbone data, Gene checked the data for the substance.

”Someone used drugs to kill all the seeds. “

It was a new, synthetic pesticide. Hodran's eyes grew as big as a flashlight because it was an unexpected answer.

”Killing him means... “

”Yes, someone is trying to ruin the Venflower plantation. “

Seeds died in the first place, so there's no way to germinate. Gene decides to settle this and get 100,000 chips in return.

Because of the enormous reparations, Gene was very ‘right’ about this. After tasting the seeds, people were looking at Gene as if it were a miracle to see him coming to a conclusion. Gene instructed them as if there was something great about it.

”All the seeds stored in the Twilight Bridge are probably dead. You must focus on finding the Wild Venflower and getting the Seed. All these seeds are useless. “

It will be difficult to find a wild vendor. Since it was so toxic in the first place, if you can see it growing in a place other than the flower garden to prevent the victim from occurring, the Guardian, Pantheon or Tribe will be taken out.

Even if there was a problem with the seed, it was natural that he had not tried to obtain any other kind of seed.

But now it was important to find the wildflowers and secure the undead seed.

”Well, well... Really? Once you get the bird seed, the flowers will grow again? “

Jin nods at Hodran's words. Even though the credibility of the person who found out their problems too easily was lacking in their strength, it became possible to stop thinking that this had happened.

”Of course. “

It was ironic to hold on to a problem that cannot be solved by faith with faith.

”Thank you! Thank you! May the Lord have the blessings of twilight! “

He bows to Gin with all his heat and castles as if nothing had been resolved. Gene boarded the wolf without delay, because the business at the new plantation was also over.

”Where to now? “

”We need to catch the man who killed the Seed. “

I don't know why, but Gene is convinced that there is a Fracci inside the Twilight Bridge.

”Let's go to the Vanflower Seed Vault for now. “

Determine the extent to which pesticide spraying of the seed was carried out. Gene left the new plantation running with the wolves, and Leonardo followed behind. Ramfil grips his teeth as he watches the two of them run like the wind.

”… I think you overestimate me. “

It was an irresponsible sprint, as if he knew he would follow us like that.

Pot!

What should I do? It was so heavy that Ramfil had to struggle with his arms and legs.

Venflower seeds were, of course, stored inside the dusk tower and were not restricted, but not accessible to anyone.

Given Oracle's mark, the Guardians were able to get the Burinake key and open the door to enter. It wasn't hard to check all the seeds in the sack. Gene chews the seed in his mouth just like before.

”How do you feel?“

”All dead here, too. “

”Hmm…. “

Ramfil pondered for a moment whether he was going to put his thoughts in order.

”It seems that there is only one Seed Vault, and if so, did you apply pesticides here? “

”There's a good chance. “

After all, all seeds come in here and are stored and seeded. Therefore, if pesticides are applied to this place where the seeds are stored, they can ruin all of the Sunset Cultivation.

I didn't think anyone was spreading pesticides in the first place, so I couldn't really see the Twilight Bridge as uncomfortable. Gene is out of the vault. The wolf waits outside.

”I'll go to Oracle. Stay here with Leona. “

”Sure."

The camp flew up the steps of heaven to the 25th floor. Looking behind him, Leona sighs as if she was tired.

”This really is a tough place. “

The cargo appears to be carrying a passive lever, but it is horrifying that a person should walk up and down without tiring.

”I think so, too. “

Ramfil says so, and looks out, and suddenly turns green and runs out the front door.

The wolf that was waiting outside turned its boat upside down in front of Leona as if Leona was just waiting for him to come, and she hugged the wolf's neck and shouted.

”But it's a good place! “

The wolf seemed to like it, even though I was confused. Ramfil smiled at Leona, who was delighted and ignorant of the world.

Of course, the wolf jumped up and stepped back as Ramfil approached to see if it was traumatic for him to get on my back.

”Ramfil is fat, so he doesn't like it. “

Leona laughs, and Ramfil sighs deeply.

Gene faces Oracle again in the throne room. The guards and escorts were once again bitten, as this would be a fairly sensitive matter.

”You mean someone intentionally killed the Venflower Seed.... “

Oracle did not speak with a firm expression as if he had never thought such a thing would happen.

”If you get wildflower seeds, the cultivation problem will be solved. We'd better take care of the seeds and replace all the crew managers. “

”Are you doubting the crew managers? “

In Oracle's question, Gene shakes his head.

”No, but everyone involved in growing Venflower is a suspect until the case is resolved. “

It's unclear whether it was a lone perpetrator or a group. That's why it was only temporary to replace all the personnel involved in the vendor. Oracle's expression is confusing, even if he says it nicely.

Once the problem was identified, it was not difficult to solve. There was no way to distinguish between the dead seed and the living seed, so the Twilight Brigade was literally under attack, but Gene found the cause of the problem in one day.

Oracle realizes that the apostle of twilight's reputation didn't come down like a legend for nothing.

Of course, if you saw him eat dirt mixed with fertilizer and chew the seeds, you wouldn't know what changed your mind.

Of course, Gene didn't intend to do this alone.

”From now on, I'm going to find out who planned this. “

”Yes, I will do all the support I need. “

As Oracle's agent, Gene has been authorized to locate the culprit.

”Who's allowed in the seed vault? “

That way, we can identify the suspects. Oracle ponders for a moment, then says:

”The seed vault belongs to a restricted access facility. It's not just me, like the airlock, but once it's locked, the guards can't get in. “

I didn't think anyone could contaminate the seeds, but I didn't make it a place for anyone to enter the core areas of Venflower cultivation like the Cult's underlying business. The Venflower Seed is a poison in the first place, and the poison needs to be treated as such.

Oracle did not show despair or grief because there was a traitor in the Red Cross.

Rather, I was trying to keep things calm.

”It's the flowerpots who are officially allowed in and out. Senior High Commissioner Hodran can enter the seed vault at any time. The other priests and guardians are merely carriers, so we can't go in alone. “

”Has the Seed Vault been guarded all day? “

”Yes, all restricted facilities are shifted by guards. “

”Hmm…. Don't you go into the Seed Vault? “

At the heart of the Church, Oracle was saddened by the fact that the High Priestess had been placed as a suspect. But now was not the time for emotions.

”Substitutes have access to everything except the most restricted facilities. “

The top secret facility of the Twilight Tower was a place where the secret of the Twilight Bridge was hidden. Only one Oracle knew that the Twilight Cult had begun with a false religion in the first place. It may not be very important, but it is very fatal for religious groups.

”There's one more person you might think is a suspect. “

”Who is that? “

”Key lockbox workers. “

The key vault manages the keys to every locked room in the Twilight Brigade. So if they betrayed us, there's a good chance they could do something like that.

”One of the key lockbox workers, High Commissioner Hodran, and Deputy Minister. “

” ……. “

”Some of them betrayed the Twilight Cult. “

Oracle could not hide his gloomy eyes from the miserable truth.
