The Live

Since Yoon Jae's disappearance and normal life, no one has cared about the two of them since the full moon passed.

I was a little hasty to praise you for being the hero of the Karaan Punitive Force. It is because the war has not yet ended.

In the coalition, they returned the people there to another city, leaving only a minimum number of people in Garaan.

The walker Elvin remains in the subjugated room, walking the streets looking bored. I would run as soon as the fight started again anytime, but I was already in a state of weakness for almost ten days.

‘Idiots, all I've ever learned is how to take care of myself. ’

War can never end without any harm.

Besides, the Devil's Seed didn't know when it would hatch, so it took a long time and there was nothing good about it.

Of course, it didn't mean that they didn't understand their position.

‘The moving side is the most burdensome. It's said to be a coalition, but it won't be pleasant for your clan to lose power first. ’

It was kind of a catch-up.

Whoever moves first carries the gun and loses money. My body naturally shrunk, and I had to change dramatically.

At this time, the unity was meaningless.

“That's frustrating.”

“What's the big deal? ”

With a familiar voice, the walker Elvin turns his head back.

He replied with a face that was not that surprised.

“Hello?”

“Aren't you surprised? ”

“Should I be surprised? ”

The more surprised side was Yoon Jae and regular.

Looking at the two of you, the walker Elvin grins.

“Of course I thought you weren't dead. ”

“They said we were supposed to be dead. We were even more surprised. ”

“Disappearance on the battlefield is death. Of course.”

Elvin gives you an answer and nods to one side.

“Are you going to stand here and talk? Let's go inside.”

“That's a teahouse. ”

“Too many annoying faces to go back to. ”

Yoon Jae and Jeong did not immediately understand what it meant.

Elvin draws two people into a small teahouse and talks about what has happened in the past month.

“…… that's how long it takes to be supportive. ”

“You don't seem to know the seriousness of the situation yet. ”

“The difference in power is obvious. No matter how formidable the Murder Clan may be, it's hard to cope with the five clans and their alliances. It's probably the same with seeds hatching. ”

Humans have been fighting demons for a long time.

Among them, there was a higher demon who had lived a long time, not just a newborn demon.

If the Devil's Seed hatches, it will be harmful, but it will somehow stop it. As I have so far.

It was always the weak underneath, not the men of the great clan.

“But I'm sure there won't be any big problems. ”

Yun Jae, who was listening to the story, said with a small nod.

Elvin asked with a curious expression on his mind and reactions.

“No problem? ”

“The seeds won't hatch. ”

“What?"

In random news, Elvin became even more embarrassed than when Yoon Jae and the regular returned.

“What does that mean? I need an explanation.”

Yun Jae talked about the underground dungeon, the maze he found in Karanan.

When Elvin heard about the Demon guarding one of the dungeons, and about the giant tree and the devil tree in the last place, he couldn't help but look.

“I've heard that one before. There is a special tree that conceives demons. Did the Devil's Seed grow there? ”

“I don't know when the devil grew up there. But it's clear that even the Devil's Seed will not hatch until the devil's tree is dead. ”

“Is it the demons' habits? It's called a tree, but even the devil himself. ”

Elvin quickly understood what Yoon Jae meant.

It was because he knew the habits of demons.

“I don't really understand what you're talking about...... Can someone please explain? ”

Of course, some people didn't know.

While listening to the story, he tilted his head and looked at Yoon Jae and Elvin's face.

Elvin didn't explain it to him and looked at Yun Jae with a look of what he had done. Yoon Jae shrugged his shoulders at Elvin's gaze instead.

Elvin takes a small sigh and opens his mouth shortly.

“There is one unusual habit for demons. ”

“Habit?”

“Dependencies among parents' children. Certain demons are partially pregnant with their parents' souls from birth. ”

Subordination was like a kind of contract.

A kind of safety device designed to take their lives, anytime, anywhere.

It was a habit associated with survival caused by the devil's predisposition to be killed or eaten at any time, even by parents.

There were several types of dependents.

The Subordinate Demon has never been able to disobey or attack the contracted target's orders.

Or, if the subordinate demon dies, the children below will all die together.

That was the case with the seed of the devil and the devil. The seeds belonging to the devil's tree have been broken and lost with their lives.

“So... you don't have to worry about the Devil's Seed anymore? ”

“If he's telling the truth. This is completely unexpected. ”

He's not making much of an impression, but Elvin is in a state of shock.

It was surprising to discover the existence of the devil, even though the devil's seed did not function properly by killing it.

If that's true, then the clan coalition is now stalling for support.

“...... Murder must have burned the clan's paw. ”

The Murder Clan has been stalling for a long time because it is waiting for the hatching of the Seed.

And now there's a problem with the seed?

It meant that even the last burrow was gone.

‘Anyway, it's good news for us. ’

The problem that has been the biggest problem has disappeared.

Of course, it was hard to believe straight away. I definitely needed confirmation.

However, Elvin didn't think Yoon Jae was lying.

“I didn't think there'd be a dungeon like that in the basement of Garrian, by the way. They haven't found a dungeon like that since they subjugated Karaan. ”

Elvin clears his tongue as if he didn't like it.

On the other hand, I wanted to know how Yoon Jae and the regular found such a dungeon.

Elvin even thought that Yoon Jae and the regular were somehow connected to the killing of the Murder Clan and going to Karan.

Is that too much to ask? Or……. ’

Did two new recruits with no credentials know the secrets of Karan that the Five Clans didn't know?

It was impossible, but the situation was so accurate that there was no doubt.

“What happened to leaking more information than anything else? So did Garanan, and from what I've heard, it seems to have leaked information elsewhere. ”

“Otherwise, it's a problem. If you look at the situation roughly, the leader of the five clans betrayed him... ”

The information regarding the Murder Clan's subjugation operation was highly classified. The operation was made public to the entire clan the day before the end of the siege.

But the trap that Murder Clan dug wasn't set up for a day or two. Since the beginning of the operation, he's been exposed to the Murder Clan for quite some time.

“Anyone suspicious? ”

It's been a month.

In the meantime, you wouldn't just be playing in the Five Clans.

No matter what operation you undertake, you will have to face difficulties in exterminating the Murder Clan without revealing the traitor.

Elvin gives you a small answer.

“There is one. There's no corroboration.”

“Who is that? ”

“Don't you know when you hear it? ”

“Do you even know his name? Maybe I'll see you later. ”

“…… not really. ”

Elvin nods a few times as if he's right.

“You might remember the look on his face. He was pretty impressive. ”

“Impressive guy? ”

“Famous for his gentlemanly appearance. You'll remember what you saw at the meeting. ”

In Elvin's words, Yoon Jae and Regular thought of a person's face.

“No way…. ”

“Turner.”

Elvin empowered himself again and again.

“Turner, also known as a gentleman, an executive of the Genger Clan. He's most likely a traitor. ”

* * *

The devil's head is chopped off, and the seed is dead.

It was a catastrophe for the clan. Now that the Seed has been discovered, the seed hatched with the Devil was the lifeline of the Murder Clan.

But as a result, the lifeline was broken.

Siffman and other Murder Clan executives couldn't help but admit they felt uneasy.

‘When Karan was subdued, he had to somehow find his way back there. ’

Karan was the biggest strategic point in the war.

It was because the devil's seed was cultivated and there was a devil's tree that became the mother of that seed.

If the devil's tree died, the seed was meaningless. The Murder Clan knew about it and left the Devil's Timber in the Garaan.

First, when the seeds hatch, they escape from the inferiority of the devil's tree. In fact, in just a few months, you don't have to be hung in a bell.

Second, the dungeon with the devil's neck was hidden in a hard to find place.

Moreover, it takes half a year to get through a dungeon in the form of a maze to the devil's neck.

It was impossible to reach the devil's tree in three months, unless you knew all the way.

But…….

“The devil is dead. ”

Siffman spoke first of the results.

In front of him sits Turner, executive of the Genger Clan and Murderer.

“I heard.”

“What the hell have you been doing? ”

Turner bows his head to Siffman's rebuke.

“I'm sorry."

“You know I didn't ask for an apology. ”

Siffman's face was almost as lifelike as if he were about to use his hands.

However, he pressed down on his anger and spoke unusually.

“What is your role? ”

“What's so special about Gandhi? to extract information, to help the Murder Clan get things done more easily. ”

“... Yes. You know better.”

Genger Clan executive, Turner.

He started immersing himself in the Jing Clan five years ago and has been an executive of the Jing Clan for two years.

But he's been a part of the Murder Clan far before that.

Others are strengthened with the clan's generous support and masks on their faces.

He was also called a gentleman.

However, all I had to show him was the face above the mask.

The face of Turner was the original face, almost devoid of emotion, which seemed to be grave and cold.

“Still no face. ”

“That's what I learned. Hide your face when you're not wearing a mask. ”

“... Yes. I remember.”

“Not if you don't remember. That's what you taught me, isn't it, Mr. Siffman? ”

Siffman nods slightly at Turner's question.

Clearly, he was the one who trained Turner when he first joined the Murder Clan.

He taught us how to treat people with masks, and even how to hide their faces when they were not wearing masks.

“Let's wrap up the old story a little later. I have more pressing issues right now. ”

“You don't have to do this later. I wish you'd hurry. I get suspicious when I walk out of here with excuses like this. ”

“Sure."

Chia-

Siffman lights a cigarette out of his arms with one hand. After a long smoke, he starts talking, spitting out the smoke that was in his mouth.

“You do know that Karaan was subdued, right? ”

“I'm the one who sent the report. You never know. ”

“Then you know there was Jeffrey in Garaan. Do you understand this? ”

“Is Jeffrey that great? ”

Question returned to question.

Siffman frowns as if he didn't like it. But I knew that if I was Turner or something like myself, I deserved to say that.

“Well, let's skip that. ”

Siffman takes another long smoke and smashes the cigarette in his hand.

“Then...... what do you think of the dead devil at this point? ”

“Why do you ask me that? ”

Turner's face still didn't look like that.

I didn't know if I was surprised or formally asked. Even Siffman taught me to make that face.

Siffman's eyes narrow and he replies.

“A month has passed since the Karan Subjugation was completed. It's only been a month since the labyrinth was discovered. However, all the seeds of the devil were dead and depended on him. ”

A series of events was never taken lightly. It was something the foundations of the clan could shake. Nevertheless, Turner's expression was still immense.

Siffman looks at Turner's expression for a moment and says,

“We don't think this is a coincidence. ”

“What do you want to talk about? ”

“Information about the labyrinth and the devil's woodwork has been revealed to the public. There's no other way to explain it. ”

Things have been twisting for quite some time now.

The existence of the seed became known too early. And Karan was subdued in just one day, thinking he could last a month.

In addition, the existence of the dungeon was uncovered, and the maze that I believed in was not functioning properly and was too empty.

If all of this were simply a coincidence, no one would believe it.

“And…… while this has been going on, you have not reported anything to us. ”

“Are you doubting me? ”

“At least if the labyrinth had been found, you would have reported it to us. That's your role, isn't it? ”

If the labyrinth had been found, Turner wouldn't have known.

It was only Turner who was impersonating your man who could tell us about the subjugated situation. Turner was clearly responsible for not communicating information there.

But not just this time.

“That's the situation. Everything makes sense if you're a traitor. Seeds exposed, labyrinths pierced in a month. ”

According to Siffman, Turner is momentarily lost in thought.

‘That's not wrong. ’

Everything was going wrong. Things that have been planned for a long time have continued to go to the worst with unexpected variables.

It was crucial that the existence of the seed was exposed outside. And only a few people within the Murder Clan, including Turner, knew about it.

And…….

“It was probably Kim Yun Jae and Yoo Jung-gyu who killed the devil. ”

“Kim Yun-jae? Yoo Jeong-kyu? ”

A familiar name, Siffman frowns a little.

Otherwise, the two men were named after Murder Clan, who had been exposed to the existence of seeds outside.

“They killed the devil's neck? I'm guessing they're the new guys that went over here a few months ago. ”

In the Murder Clan, which is at war with the Alliance, the transfer of information has to be much slower than usual.

However, it was only a short time ago that Yoon Jae and regular people disappeared and returned.

The news of their reappearance has just begun to spread. Dungeon existence has not been heard yet, but Turner is almost certain.

“The two of them went missing in Karan, and time was running out. Where to hide for a month in a city that's not so big? ”

“They went into and out of the maze? ”

“I think it's most likely right now. ”

“…… good. How did the two of them know the way to the maze if it's true? I didn't know the way. It doesn't explain why I had to kill the devil and get out of the maze in a month. ”

“That's what I don't know. But think about it. ”

“What? ”

“If I really wanted to betray the Murder Clan, would you have used two new recruits to do your job? ”

Turner taps his head as if to ask you to think.

The nuance seems arrogant, and Siffman's eyes frown. But that was pretty convincing.

‘…… there's no reason. ’

If I wanted to expose the existence of the seed in the first place, I didn't need to use two new people.

Turner would have been able to expose the seed's information to the outside in a subtle way. Turner wasn't that stupid.

‘Then you really didn't know? ’

Kim Yun Jae and Yoo Jeong Kyu.

They were those who had nothing to do with the Union. It should be considered irrelevant that it was a spa of the Skyscraper Clan, not a clan member.

What if those two guys actually found their own labyrinth and killed the devil himself, irrelevant to the Union?

Turner was unaware of this, and it made sense not to report it.

“... But I still can't believe it. ”

Turner has no reason to use two new recruits.

In addition, it is hard to believe that only two new people have done this big thing.

Neither side was credible. Siffman's mind has changed in complexity.

Nevertheless, there was one obvious thing.

‘I need to see them. ’

Whether Turner used two new people or they did their own work, they are definitely connected to this.

Siffman's mind was quickly cleared.

He slowly rises from his seat and looks down at Turner's face.

“Let's skip ahead for now. Don't do anything for a while. Live like a dead rat. And……. ”

Siffman stands there and squeezes his grip.

Win-win. Wood-win.

“Huff……. ”

Turner's face turns red.

His neck is tightened gradually, with a sharp handprint on his neck. Turner falls off the chair and sits on the floor, unable to scream, suffering from suffocation.

“Again, I'd rather you didn't do anything nonsense. I could always kill you, even if I were on the other side of the world. ”

“Knng! ”

Turner coughs violently on the floor.

As he looks down at the Turner for a moment, Siffman quickly turns around and steps out.

Kung-

Turner wraps his neck around Siffman's hand. Due to the old stigma, Turner was never able to get out of Siffman's hands.

‘...... It's been a long time. ’

When Murder first came into the clan and met Siffman, he was like this every day.

I didn't need to feel this pain from the moment I gained some skill and rose to a high position within the clan and infiltrated as an executive of the Genger Clan.

How many years? It was a pain my body had forgotten.

Of course…….

‘I haven't forgotten with my head. ’
