Chapter 6 Episode 47 – Crusade Commander

“Ugh… . I’m shaking, it’s so painful… .”

“It’s amazing that it’s there. Can I split it?”

“Huh, oh, no. They are my precious children.”

” Take care – I’m playing it – it’s not okay –?”

“It’s not okay. It’s not even playing!”

“It’s a shame—.”

Through Banshee, we discovered the home base of Ginners, a mad scientist group in the backworld. There was no need to delay, so I assembled a suitable team and set off right away.

Olivia is not used to traveling long distances, let alone going out in the first place.

Kuen looks at Olivia’s experiments in the luggage compartment with interest.

Leon is looking out the window with his arms crossed in silence.

“Because their laboratory is located in a deserted place, there are no clones nearby to monitor. Rather, is it okay to just ignorantly push it away with force without any strategy, Director?”

“I’ll have to think about it once I get there. But with this much power, it’s probably overflowing, right?”

Banshee’s alter ego, who was brought in as a communications soldier, and Alessia from the security department, who happened to become a dedicated driver.

I was surprised that the Guinness was a bigger organization than I thought, but my current strength is enough.

Kuen single-handedly massacred the largest faction of the infamous Rude Zetas. The only drawback is that it specializes in interpersonal combat, so it becomes annoying when non-humans appear, but I brought Leon to prepare for that.

In the case of Rion, he doesn’t have much fighting skills, so it’s difficult to fight against powerful people, but he is literally invincible against low-intelligence monsters.

In addition, Olivia’s test subject is also present, so unless a third force suddenly intervenes, there is no element of quality.

“Yahooh–. We’re working together again—?”

“……Don’t talk to me.”

“Be merciless. I want to be friends with my baby Sajaraang—.”

“Don’t call me that.”

“Why- it’s friendly and it’s nice-.”

Kuen began to hug Leon, who was still, as if he were friendly. Even though Kuen was very distant, it was the first time I wanted to become close to someone that much.

Is there something you like about it?

“Kkukkkuuk—.”

Kuen pokes Leon’s cheek with his finger.

Are you sure you really want to be friends?

You don’t want to fight?

Sigh!

In the end, Leon got angry and grabbed Kuen’s arm.

“Ahh—. Aparaaa—.”

“Heung.”

Leon removed his hand from the ball and let it go.

Kuen raised his hand and waved it shakily.

“It’s broken—.”

“Don’t lie. I didn’t squeeze it that hard.”

Looking at it this way, I wonder if they are on good terms again.

“Director. Arriving soon.”

Alessia, driving without distraction even in the noisy interior of the vehicle, announced that she had almost arrived at her destination.

“Enemies may notice the sound of the vehicle. If you want to make a surprise attack, I recommend stopping midway and walking. What are you going to do?”

Alessia gave tactical advice as expected from the security department, but there was no need to worry so much about common criminals.

“What should I do? Just push it away.”

Like a truck with broken brakes.

Unfortunately, our car’s brakes were fine.

So, I had no choice but to stop when I saw the crusaders who had already occupied Ginner’s laboratory.

‘It’s a shame.’

I wish I had just pushed them away too.

We’ll meet as enemies later anyway.

“Please reveal your identity.”

A middle-aged man who looked like the leader of a group of crusaders asked me.

For times like this, I carry a disguised ID card.

“This is Siegfried, the head of the Special Investigation Team of the Investigation Bureau. While conducting an investigation into illegal drugs distributed in the underworld, I found out that the main production area was here and came here. I think they are crusaders. What is your business?”

The man who checked my ID nodded slightly.

“I am Gregory, the priest of the Church of the Virgin Mary. We have subdued the group of scientists who make impure drugs, so you can go back without worrying.”

“Well. I don’t think that’s a matter for you to decide. I’d like to do some on-site investigation first, so please get out of the way. If you do not get out of the way, I will arrest you for obstruction of official duties.”

“……Sir Siegfried, I know you. I also know that Kyeong is not the head of the special investigation team. Please do not try to deceive me with a false identity.”

“Is that so? I have no idea who that is. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a fake identity or anything like that. Since I said I would investigate here, this has become my jurisdiction, and it is important to note that if you interfere with this, you can be charged with obstruction of official duties.”

Gregory glared at me with murderous eyes.

Are you trying to threaten me with your life right now? It’s funny.

I looked over his shoulder and looked at the scene.

The laboratory was completely destroyed, to the point where it looked miserable even from the outside.

Is there any data left?

Or should I retry?

“Please leave when you have good words to say. Sir, there is nothing to investigate here.”

“Ugh. I’m the one who speaks positively. Well, it doesn’t seem like there’s much to investigate since it’s all broken anyway, but this is how we met, mister. Let’s have a conversation with me.”

Gregorio’s eyebrows rose at my sudden change in tone.

Are you annoyed by the attitude that ignores etiquette?

whatever.

“There is no conversation to be had. Please step aside while I show courtesy.”

“I have it. Could you please speak comfortably without being polite?”

Puzzle–.

“This is the final warning. Right now–.”

“What do you think about sacrificing your life for a fake religion?”

“……Fake faith?”

“You guys, you’re picking on the Virgin Mary. But you know what? The Virgin Mary who commands you is fake.”

“Do you know that you are committing blasphemy?”

“I’m not sure about that because it’s blasphemy. Everyone knows that the Church of the Virgin Mary is corrupt, but the Virgin Mary neglects it. So, isn’t corruption ultimately the direction the Virgin Mary wants? Otherwise, you would be an incompetent being who can’t even do his job properly. Was I wrong?”

thud-!

Gregory stamped his foot strongly.

Being angry means you’ve hit the nail on the head.

“Our Lady wants to straighten out Our Lady’s Church! Above all, he is someone who is more devoted to humanity than anyone else! A guy like you is not the type of person to speak carelessly!”

“Really? Why did such a great person die?”

“What… ?”

“A cabin in the Lotra forest.”

“……How do you do that?”

“Ah, I guess you did the same thing.”

It became clear from the reaction just now.

Gregory was brainwashed by Patricia.

This is not in the sense of mind manipulation, but rather, he is immersed in her thoughts and plans and is truly agreeing with them.

“The scariest thing is that they are idiots with clumsy beliefs.”

I raised my right hand in the air.

By crossing your index and middle fingers.

This is a signal that is always set when performing a mission.

If you cross the index and middle fingers of your left hand, they all retreat.

If you cross your index and middle fingers with your right hand… .

Obliterate everything.

As soon as he raised his hand, Kuen rushed towards the crusaders with a bright smile and instantly slit the throat of one of them.

“What are you doing?”

Gregory draws his sword.

“What are you doing? Reactionary elements will be rooted out.”

Before he could raise his sword, a fist flew at me from behind.

Gregorio is pushed backwards with a strong shock wave.

Unfortunately, I am not a fighter.

Leon will deal with you.

While Quen was slaughtering the bodies of the crusaders and Leon and Gregorio were fighting to the death, the non-combatants, Banshee and I, were waiting far away.

“What is the situation at the management bureau?”

“Screening and quarantine were all completed smoothly.”

There were quite a few people infected with the flu within the administration. Since the virus may be latent even if there are no outward symptoms, instructions have been given in advance to screen and isolate infected people.

The problem is that latent viruses cannot be detected by most tests, and Ker helped with this.

Maggi, which slightly leaks out due to the virus latent in the body, has a unique scent. Ker was able to detect that subtle scent, which allowed him to be very active as a virus detection dog.

Of course, this is only possible because it is Ker, and it would not have been possible with an ordinary dog.

In any case, the screening process has been tested, so the Bureau should be safe in the official route.

‘It’s a virus that can’t be detected through a blood test if it’s latent. If it weren’t for Ker, it would have been classified as Retry hard work.’

When I get back, I’ll have to pet Ker a lot.

“Who are the selected people?”

“Nearly half of the management bureau’s staff.”

Half of them are infected. This is the extent of the management office, which is an environment isolated from the outside world, and it seems that virtually everyone outside is a carrier.

Without a cure, they are all like Patricia’s hostages, and since they are heroines and cannot be killed, there will be many setbacks in future attacks.

“Development of a treatment is essential.”

The importance of securing Jeonghwaseok has increased further.

I looked at the scene where the battle was continuing.

Kuen is leisurely killing the crusaders. She tends to be annoying starting from roughly the mid-level knight level, so the level of those crusaders is probably lower than the mid-level knight level.

On the other hand, Leon is struggling against Gregorio.

Although she is strong, she has never learned fighting skills, so she is unable to deliver effective hits to enemies with skill.

‘It would be best for Kuen to kill them all quickly and join us.’

Until then, I hope Leon holds up well.
