I was coming to the Temple of the Circle for the first time.

We were unable to assist with a visit for some time after the incident.

Senior Miriam is blocked. Sometimes he was a part of the cleaver (ripper) case, and he hasn't been able to get out of the Culver family mansion lately. Naturally, it was not at the visit.

At the temple, sometimes late at night, there was only a Mistress.

"Midwife."

"Oh, Mr. Edgar. I wonder what's wrong?

Says Easter with a glossy grin somewhere.

I knew you weren't good at this guy.

It seems like you're treating me like a man, not a child.

They seem to be seeing through who they are and they are restless.

"Would you mind consulting me for a moment?

"That's unusual. Fine, then let's hear it in the chapel. There's just no one here."

I will walk you into the chapel with the guidance of Mr. Easter.

"Does Midwife know about the amputee (ripper) case?

"Yep... you solved it, didn't you? You think the killer was Marquis Sargastine's maid? The sargastin marquis was also killed and the mansion, which was said to be the most spicy in the king's capital, was also burned down. Then I heard that a number of cleaver (ripper) cases were the work of copycats, and that the copycat was Prince Ellen's second prince, and the prince was arrested."

"... you know more"

"It's a big case of rocking the king's capital. Because if you stay here, even if you don't like it, the information comes in. Besides, I'm supposed to have been dealing with Mr. Miriam and Mr. Elia. I wonder what's going on."

Mistress hugged her body with both arms and shook herself.

The person I knew had been replaced by a cleaver (ripper) - if I knew that later, it would be really frightening.

I'll keep my eyes peeled at what's going on with Midwife.

There were three Rippers in total.

"... three? Not two?

"It's three people. It's not public because it's too serious about one person."

"Can there be anything more serious than the fact that the Marquis was a Ripper or that the Second Prince murdered his mistress?

I don't answer that question.

"First of all, I don't care about Prince Ellen."

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"It means there's no question about the case. He tried to gain an advantage in the throne inheritance competition by falling under his brother, Prince Irfrid. The more you understand, the easier it is to understand."

"You'd better not say that outside of here, right? Though the king is kind now, he will be guilty of disrespect."

Nod small at the words of the eunuchs and continue.

"The other one, about the hidden killer, also has a piece on it. It's a state secret, so I can't tell you anything, but it was a delightful crime in the middle of a mutilator scene."

Mistress listens to me in silence.

"The last thing left is a real cleaver (ripper). Her motives are complicated, but for once it seems to have an explanation. As a result of the special home environment and her talents as an actor, she was forced to become a Ripper for a reason she only knew. I have my doubts about this too, but it's fine now.

Instead, she possessed two special antiquities (artifacts). And those origins are left unknown after all... "

That's where I ask for the look on Mr. Easter's face. Changes such as this could not be read.

"A secret killer - a man named Pestle, but he murdered Mr. Elia, who was a real amputee (ripper). So it is also possible that Elia was receiving an ancient artifact (artifact) from Pestle. In that case, Pestle killed Mr. Elia for that mouth seal, didn't he? But I doubt how much sense there was in hiding it in Pestle. In addition, Pestle himself did not use ancient relics (artifacts). If you can give someone that powerful an ancient relic (artifact), it would be odd if you didn't have a more powerful one yourself.

Again, it is more natural to assume that Mr. Elia was obtaining an ancient artifact (artifact) from someone other than Pestle.

But Mr. Elia was an abomination of the Sargastine Hou family and had limited opportunities to go outside. "

"... so?

The Festival prompts me to continue without expression.

I keep snorting.

"Pestle was another mutilator (ripper) similar killer. Maybe he killed Mr. Elia because he didn't like artistic killers being pulled out in mediocre places of justice. I also think it's too sentimental for him.

Anyway, Pestle was analyzing the psychology of the Ripper. "

According to Pestle, the overwhelming majority of serial killers are men in the first place. He said that distorted libido for women can easily motivate such serial killings.

But Mr. Elia is a woman. Besides, the motive for the crime was not lust.

That's why the profile doesn't match Mr. Area in the first place.

Nonetheless, if Mr. Elia is a cleaver (ripper) - I would like to assume that there is someone behind Mr. Elia.

And assuming someone, it would be natural to assume that the person is the same person who accommodated the ancient relics (artifacts) to Mr. Elia.

But there are only a few people Mr. Elia has been able to contact.

From what I've heard from Senior Miriam, Garrigan Xu Elementary School attended by Senior Miriam, or here volunteering for a visiting visit - just the Temple of the Circle.

As for the school, I had already asked Mr. Corsey to conduct a background check on the students, teachers, but I did not see any suspicious people.

"Mistress, I hear you've been flowing to the King's Capital in the last few years. But no one remembered exactly how long you've been here, and I couldn't find a record in the temple."

As for the record, I asked the priest here to look into it in secret.

I am also asking you to leave me alone at this hour of the day.

"I only know one person like that. It's a woman who was getting out of a place I once infiltrated without anyone noticing. The woman, from now on, seems to have hissed herself to not be evil noticeable in the place as well. The age outfit is just as common as yours, cold eyes that observe people, and being beautiful. Instead, I don't know why I haven't noticed it before."

"... even though I think there are as many women like me"

That's what the Easter said with a thin grin.

"Of course that's not all. Prisoning people with ideas that deviate from common sense - doesn't this resemble anything?

What I'm talking about is "Yata-glass."

Mr. Elia was crazy - it's easy to say that, but isn't it too much to say that you did it?

Even if Mr. Elia was mentally ill, could that be the only Ripper? If you're completely insane, you shouldn't be able to fix a crime, and if you still have reason, it's weird if you're not aware of your anomalies. It's a rather unnatural state of affairs to remain rational enough to fix a crime and unaware of the anomaly of what you're doing.

Unless that's what you're being led to think by someone -.

"Leticia Ludameia, former pastor of" Yata-glass ". That should be possible for you, who was in charge of your rebrainwashing. You noticed, in some applause, that Senior Miriam was switching with Mr. Elia. Interested. You approached Mr. Elia and asked her what was going on. Then, pretending to be intimate, he entered Elia's mind and tailored Elia into a Ripper."

"Phew..."

The priest hoisted his lips and laughed.

In the meantime, my perception was transformed.

The priest and the other person he had seen turned into the "pastor" he once saw in "Yata-glass", and then into another woman who was different.

It's tricky, but it didn't look different, it changed my side's perception.

In the previous life there was trick art visible to both young and old women, but that was exactly how I had changed the impression I received from the woman in front of me.

Mistress - No, Leticia says with a cold grin.

"This is what the man said. Santa Mana is too stable and boring, he said. Sonorat of war, Frostbite, where demons and empires are waging a war to wash their blood with blood, the central plateau, where the Confederacy and betrayal continue without end. Compared to them, Santa Mana is well healed and bored."

"... were you infiltrating Monocanus following such a wild rumor?

It was also diving into this temple of the circle dedicated to the goddess - Atrazenek, who presides over the soul and circle. Should I say bold or reckless? I'm sure this woman enjoys that thrill by putting herself in a ruin thread while deceiving people.

So even after Pestle was defeated and the identity of the Ripper (Ripper) was found, it remained in this temple? That was the only gap in this woman with no vision.

Leticia shrugged her shoulders in my words.

"No, I'm not one of that guy's men. So I'll just tell you one thing, Edgar Culver. You have no idea what's going to happen in Wang Du, do you?

"... what are you trying to say?

"Right. Maybe it would be quicker for you to take a look. You have skills in [appraisal] or [analysis], don't you?

"... I don't know"

"You don't seem very smart. There's no point in hiding it from me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have known about the constraints imposed on Gazein Munzer from the evil gods.

Just try [appraising] me. I'll untie some of the cover-up. "

It's called Pestle and Good Guy, why would you want to show people their status?

You wouldn't have to worry about this being some kind of trap, because even a pestle with [self definition] didn't set a trap in its status.

I turn to Leticia [Devil's Eye of Truth].

Leticia Ludameia ("Leticia of Fantasy", "Lady of Demonic Sexuality", "Seeker")

Embrio Vaccination (hatched)

Embrio?

That's the first word I've ever heard.

I concentrate my consciousness on.

Embrio B01344: Vaccination date January 27, 1300

Embrioid: Wight Emperor (Level 55)

Scheduled Expression Skills: [Spatial Leap] Level Unknown, [Necromancer Magic] Level Unknown, [Magic Instruction] Low to Medium Level

It was a Japanese (...) string that popped out of the Leticia status window.

"This is..."

"I knew you could see it. Yes, I was implanted with Embryo B."

"Embrio...... b?

"There are three types of Embrio. Three A, B and C"

Leticia did now pronounce it "A, B, C".

"What the hell is this embrio?"

"If you're seeing it, you know it, right? Embrio is the separation of skills and abilities information from its owners. A seed of ability, so to speak."

"Seeds of Capability......"

"The Embrio inoculation will slowly rewrite the status and acquire new skills and abilities at the same time as the Embrio hatching"

"Can you do that"

Pestle was freely rewriting his status by [self-definition].

This embrio, although not as [self-defined], is very similar in terms of rewriting the status.

Also, [self definition] can only work on "self," but this embrio can also rewrite the status of others.

In terms of versatility, there is likely to be more armament for Embrio than [self-definition].

Earlier, the [spatial leap] skills that were in Leticia's status were dedicated to the "Spirit Body" in Help Information. ". Is it because Leticia, a biological person (half elf), nevertheless possesses this skill, given by Embrio?

"You said there were three A, B, and C. What's the difference?

"They're all together in terms of rewriting status information. My implanted Embryo B is called the Safe Embryo, and it's designed to express skills only."

"Then A and C..."

"A is an ability expression. Unlike skills, they were called dangerous embryos in relation to planting forces that humans could not otherwise acquire. Abilities are ahead of us because they were originally inspired by demonic research.

And C is the embryo that rewrites everything in its status. "

"Everything... because"

"Yes. The last of them must be the race. We can turn humans into elves, and of course, we can turn humans into demons. With a heap of skills and abilities that the demon is not supposed to possess..."

"-!"

"That girl you called Asla. An artificial life form created by the synthesis of countless demons and demons. I hear Embrio was born a by-product of that research."

I'm also convinced that Pestle Shifted Interest from previous research.

Just planting an embrio in a human being and turning it into a demon - it was a bad hobby study that Pestle seemed to prefer.

"With this Embrio C, it is also possible to create organisms that do not exist naturally.

Embryo monsters, or chimeras. That's what the man called it, but could you figure it out?

"... it's a legendary monster from a previous life. With the head of a lion, and the torso of a goat, and the tail of a snake."

"Nice legend.

Embrio seems to be a bug, worm, or germ that infects his status. Unfortunately, I don't know what that means.

Anyway, Embrio has the power to alter the status information of the infected subject. To be precise, Embrio is an information transcript that replicates itself, not an organism... do you know what that means?

So you're saying it's a virus that infects status?

Enbrio also replicates and multiplies itself so that the influenza virus replicates and multiplies itself in the body of the host.

What is different from the virus is that this embrio will rewrite the status information of the host?

"Even so, just rewriting the status information won't make a change anytime soon. Also, because the status information contains secondary information for detecting errors, the original status is automatically restored if there is less information rewritten by the embrio. Although he called that secondary information parity data."

But Leticia goes on.

"If Enbrio rewrites enough information, parity data loses its potency. The rewritten information becomes determined to be in the correct status. And once that information is determined to be correct, the system built by Atrazenek, the god who presides over the soul and the circle, makes adjustments to that individual based on altered status information.

What triggers this is the mandatory level increase that the Embrio attracts to the host as it hatches. I wonder if that's all you can tell?

"... growth sleep"

"Exactly. Although status information is just information, Atrazenek's system distributes power based on that information, called 'gifts', and puts capacity corrections on people called levels and skills. This correction is implemented by growth sleep."

"You mean Embrio can trick the goddess's system into distributing gifts and planting abilities just like he wanted"

"That sort of thing. It's something to think about... the reincarnated."

It is unwillingness to be spoken of in the same way as Pestle, but it will only be possible that Pestle was the holder of an outstanding brains and ideas.

I can't measure how active I could have been in my previous life if I had also had an ethic at last.

But he's dead.

It's impossible to do anything against this world any more.

Embrio is a terrible invention indeed, but it seems he managed to prevent it before it was fully used. I stroked my chest down inside.

No - wait.

"I can't be frightened if I don't know what's going to happen," Leticia said earlier.

No way......

You must have read the change in my expression, Leticia says with her lips suspended.

"By the way - haven't you seen a fly in Wang Du lately?

"Flies......? Speaking of which, even though it's still winter, we need to talk about flying..."

"The fly is an Embrio haulier (carrier) called Embriobug."

"Become...! What do you mean, no way..."

"Yeah. Right now, there are a lot of ordinary people in this monocannus who have been altered with status information by Embrio.

And it should be about time. Embrio hatches and they are transformed into Embrio monsters by the power of Atrazenek…. Heh heh. "

"Damn! Oh my god......!

Pestle said he came to bring Asura back.

At the same time, however, he also said that interest had now shifted from Asla to something else.

So why was Pestle in Monocanus?

That was the answer.

"- Well, then I guess I'll let you stay. It's a shame you can't see the frenzy that's about to strike the king's capital."

"You think you can get away with this? Your [hypnosis] won't work for me."

Jeremiah taught me about the "Reverend" M.O., and I gave him a special training with Melvi, who remembered [hypnosis].

Until recently, I didn't realize who Leticia was because Leticia had only manipulated her to change her impression very thinly. In addition to their skills, women have the means to change their impressions. I guess Leticia only dared use the technique thinly in anticipation that I would be on guard.

But once you realize you're under surgery, [hypnosis] can easily be defeated.

Even in practice with Melvi, [hypnosis] didn't take long enough to say at all that I knew I was going to be able to do the surgery.

[Phantom magic] doesn't work for me either.

Seeing the magic flow in [The Devil's Eye of Truth] makes it easy to see through.

Should I be wary of [spatial jumping] and being able to escape? Though I don't know if spirit-specific skills work properly in biological people.

"You don't have to run away.

Monugonez, the evil god! I have fulfilled my covenant! Now is the time to do your duty!

Leticia screams. The voice clings to the chapel.

One beat late, heavy and low, I heard some laughter.

Behind Leticia, a black circle appeared.

As for the shape, it resembles the gate that Melvi uses to go back and forth with Fairy Town.

Most importantly, Melvi's gate glowed white, whereas behind Leticia, it showed signs of black and disastrous.

Leticia slowly leans down with her face to me, approaching the black circle from her back.

"Wait! What are you going to do!

Let Leticia play.

"I want to go. I just wanted to go."

Leticia's eyes seemed to bare me and be directed at something invisible.

"I want to go...? Where?"

"A different world from here... to a different world"

"... Huh!

"Here's the deal I made with the evil gods. If I can bring fear and confusion to the 200,000 city of Monocanus, then take me to another world -"

Leticia's back touched the black circle.

"I was just looking forward to it, Edgar Culver! What is the world like where heretics like you and abnormal people like that man were born and raised!

Leticia tries to jump from her back into a black circle.

"Let them get away with it!

I release steel threads.

"Oops..."

Countless black and small "something" overflowed from Leticia's entire body.

Each one is like a black jaw.

Embryo bug!

"Kuh..." Dimensional Barrier "!

I create a dimensional disconnect with Leticia.

I can do a black wall filled with embryo bugs right in front of me.

An embryo bug without an entity doesn't seem to transcend dimensional disconnection either.

but now I can't go to Leticia's side either.

Leticia's body is already mostly swallowed by black circles.

Says Leticia, who left only his face at the end.

"At best, enjoy the hell out of this world, Edgar Culver"

Finally, the former pastor disappeared swallowed by a black circle.
