[VRMMO] Dead One

["Allow me to explain, since I’m the one that specializes in potion and poison making."] – said Min, one of the three cyborg high gobbling triplets.

["That fish that you are telling me about; it isn’t called the Red Scaled Blue Finned Piranha."]

["Its real name is Frenzy Piranha."]

["Based on the name you told me; it fits perfectly with that fish’s description."]

["Still, I wasn’t really expecting for you to bring up that fish."]

"And why is that?" – asked Oron.

["Well, two reasons."]

["It is extremely rare."]

["And it was intentionally hunted to almost extinction."]

["Honestly speaking, I have hard time getting that fish myself."]

"And why is that? Is this thing special?"

["It’s a drug."]

"!"

"Explain."

["This fish monster posses a special form toxin, a one that reduces a person’s resistance to the negative effects."]

["I’m using that fish toxin to make some of my bests poisons, since this stuff is just so good."]

["However, at the same time, many drug dealers also add this fish monster toxic to their drugs or just makes drugs with them as one of main integrands."]

["Because of that, those fishes earned themselves a named called ’drug fish’.]

["Honestly, just eating that fish is dangerous, as just eating the meat can apply powerful weakening effect."]

["Because how much this fish end up being involved in drug deals, it was deemed too dangerous and some kingdoms just apparently hunted them down until non were left."]

["Still, there are some left and I do have my own personal water tank with them where they reproduce."]

"Okay, that is nice and all, but tell me."

"Is it possible to weaken the mental resistance as well with that fish?"

["Yeb."]

["It weaken ALL form of defense against negative statuses."]

["Be it charm, poison or even brainwashing."]

"...Thanks."

"That is exactly what I needed."

"But could you straight up tell me everything that you know about that drug fish? Or just sent me message all together."

["Sure, give me a sec."]

(Still, I wasn’t exactly expensing the answer to pop up that easily.... But then again.) – thought Oron.

(I don’t have any time to waste.)

[Sometime later: Dragon Castle – Dragon King’s Garden.]

"Drug fish?!" – asked the dragon king in his elven form.

"Frenzy Piranha." – said Oron in his lizardman form.

"It is the name of the fish that you had ate."

"Its posses’ effect of weakening the resistance to the negative effects and it is often used in drugs."

"So, the fish really had something to do with us getting poisoned!" – said the dragon king.

"...Still, how the hell didn’t I sniffed out the poison?" – said the dragon king to himself.

(Did they did something to the fishes so I wouldn’t detect anything?) – thought the dragon king as he realized that the enemy plan was thought though.

"...Do you know where to get those fishes?" – asked the dragon king.

"It is forbitten product in many kingdoms and they are often exterminated." – said Oron.

"They are often being hunted down and what not... And that is a problem."

"They may had found a hunting spot and then just exterminated it afterwords by having a solid excuse."

"Tch! So, we have nothing?!" – asked pissed off dragon king.

"Not exactly." – said Oron.

"First thing first."

"We know that they had used in order to make you weakened you and everybody else in order to make you more susceptible to the brainwashing."

"However, this is still not enough."

"They would need to still use powerful brainwashing to control you, which would leave some traces."

"...That means they used something else beside the fish." – said the dragon king.

"Exactly." – said Oron.

"Not only that, but how did they had brough those fishes to the empire? Maybe the empire didn’t dealt with it before, so it is not officially banned yet, but still, it is a drug."

"However, somebody may had used the opportunity, with you and the empire lacking information about the fish, to legally hunt the fishes."

"Who exactly brough those fishes to the empire? Who hunted them?"

"Who delivered them to you?"

<<...And obviously, it caught attention of some rats.>>

"Quickly! Move those boxes to the carriage and relocate them to the designated area!" – said the lizardman knight as he was leading the Wumi clan’s soldier into gathering the evidence.... While in the shadows from the top of the building, a hooded figure was watching from above.

"..."

The hooded figure backed away from the edge of the roof as it was almost spotted, before then aiming to get down from the roof all together.

"!?" – however, just as they were about to do so, a shadow beneath them enlarged... Which also started acting like a straight up mud as it sunk the hooded figure’s feet, making them panic as they tried to get out.

But before they could, a pair of arms emerged from the muddy shadow, which then just dragged the hooded figure.

And right in the next moment, another shadow appeared on the wall inside of one of the alleyway, before moments later the same hooded figure was straight up throw into the alleyway where they smashed into one of the building walls.

The hooded figure tried instantly running after being throw, but before they could even do that, a massive crossbow bolt came flying, piercing and impaling the hooded figure’s shoulder against the wall.

The hooded figure tried screaming in agony... But before they could, several daggers were launched at them, piercing their limbs.

"?!"

"Don’t bother moving." – said Oron as he was wearing an armor that was completely hiding his identity, while also using a voice changer.

"Can’t move or speak. This is special paralyzing poison that is affecting your body." – said Oron as he approached the hooded figure and removed their mask, revealing them to be a female dark elf.

"!" – the elf tried moving her mouth, but before she could do that, Oron threw a device at the woman, which instantly wrapped itself around the woman’s head and created a gag, which straight up locked the woman’s mouth.

"You have no fucking idea how many times I’ve dealt with idiots like you. The ones that have a suicidal capsule inside of their mouth... This kind of became boring when so many people are straight up using it." – said Oron as the shadows started consuming the woman’s body.

"Now. Who exactly the hell are you?"
