Chapter 6 Episode 53 – Interrogation 3

“Qu… !”

Patricia just threw me against the wall. Does he have no intention of killing me yet, or does he have no time to worry about me? She just knocked on the glass tube containing the daisies.

“Calm down. Because we are just trying to treat that child.”

If someone who knows nothing sees this situation, it will only seem like we are doing something bad to a young child. In a way, it is natural for Patricia, who cares for her younger siblings, to be angry.

“Treatment… ? They trap you in a body like that and call it treatment… ?”

“I didn’t lock you up. When I found Daisy, it had already been sealed.”

bang-!

Patricia hit the glass pipe roughly. An unpleasant purple liquid began to flow from her hands. The glass tube that came into contact with the liquid gradually corroded and melted, and the medicine filling the tube poured out through the cracks.

“Don’t you know that you are responsible just for not breaking the seal?”

“Are you going to let a child who can’t control his own strength do whatever he wants?”

“Control… ? This child is not something you should control.”

“Then you can’t hold me responsible.”

“… … .”

As if she had nothing to say in response, Patricia turned her head away.

Daisy was pushed out of the glass tube by the pouring drug. Patricia carefully held Daisy in her arms. Perhaps because they are the same monarch, he doesn’t seem to be particularly affected by the power of death.

Rather, now that Daisy has escaped the glass tube, there is no stopping the power from spreading. I was planning on retrying anyway, but I ended up kidnapping Patricia by dismembering her face. I felt like I needed to find out more.

“Patricia, I want to coexist with you. To do that, I think we need to get rid of all of your dangerous powers. If you want to live freely on earth, it would be better.”

“If we give up our power, how can we protect ourselves? ?”

“No need to worry. Because I will protect you. The Bureau was created for that purpose.”

“… … Do you think I’ll be fooled by such sugar-coated words? I don’t understand. Why do you have to save us and protect us? I don’t understand it at all.”

Is it this problem again? Brainy guys like Patricia have a hard time believing that I will protect them. Banshee tried to kill me countless times before she was convinced.

“I can’t tell you about that because it’s a personal matter. Just because I say it doesn’t mean you can understand it.”

In the end, to gain trust, you have no choice but to show it through action.

“Anyway, if you just say it for a thousand days, you won’t believe it, right? So, let me make a suggestion.”

“… … It’s not even funny. Do you still think you are in a position to make a suggestion?”

“Yes. That’s the position. Because that proposal is not for now.”

“… … ?”

Patricia looks at me with an expression of incomprehension. I told her firmly.

“I will kill the God of Chaos. For you.”

There was silence for a moment.

And, what broke the silence.

“Ha, hahahaha… .”

It was Patricia’s empty laugh.

“… I’m disappointed. I was secretly hoping it would end in nothing but empty lies. That’s–”

“Noisy. Just answer me. If I kill the God of Chaos, you will meekly give up your power and receive my care. How about it?”

“… … If you kill the God of Chaos, you will, even if I refuse. The power we have originally belonged to the Chaos God. Because when he dies, his power disappears.”

“Oh. That means if you kill the Chaos God, you won’t be able to resist anything I do with you?”

Patricia glares with cold eyes.

Well, that’s exactly what it says. He’s glaring at me so hard.

“If the power disappears, I will take responsibility for raising all four of you. You don’t know, but Rusk was surprisingly satisfied with life at the Bureau.”

“… … I know. What kind of life did Rusk live after being captured by you?”

Patricia strokes Daisy’s head and speaks quietly.

“With the excuse that I had lost my strength, I was free from the heavy pressure and smiled brightly like before. I am… After seeing that, I thought maybe you could believe it.”

“It’s such an honor that you tried to believe it. Daisy… . I feel sad too. But there are a lot of details you don’t know. It’s not like I just watched that child suffer. So, since you’ve already believed it once, why not believe it until the end? ”

“… … .”

Patricia stood up with Daisy in her arms.

“Do it yourself.”

“… Where to go?”

“It’s none of your business. Don’t even think about doing anything more foolish than that. Because I still have some left.”

She turned around indifferently and left the laboratory. Holding Daisy in my arms.

‘I bought some time.’

Judging from the fact that he took Daisy away, it looks like he plans to hide somewhere for at least a few days. Of course, I’ll have a fight with the Lord of Death after that.

I approached Olivia, who had collapsed.

“Olivia, are you dead?”

“… … Ugh. Yes, I’m alive.”

“It seemed like he had no intention of killing. I could have just hit the neck, but I ended up stabbing him in the stomach.”

“Gu, Director. Getting stabbed in the stomach is also dangerous… .”

“You’re not going to die right away.”

The medical department was called through the intercom in the laboratory. Seeing that the Bureau’s infrastructure is working well, it seems like Patricia didn’t just randomly destroy it.

In the first place, Patricia doesn’t have the ability to make such a fuss.

“Get treatment and start research right away.”

“Ugh… ? What, research?”

“Flu treatment. Now that I have time, I have to make it quickly. Because Jeong Hwa-seok also came back to the management bureau.”

Wait, the purification stone was on Patricia’s body. So then Patricia didn’t jump with it, right?

More than that, how did they break the restraints even though Jeonghwa-seok was there?

Wasn’t his power suppressed because of Jeonghwaseok?

This is why dealing with clever bitches is tiring.

Every time I make a strange move, I end up using it in an unexpected situation.

“Hmm~. The Power Stone of Purification could not stop the monarch. That’s really strange. No matter how powerful a monarch is, it would be difficult to resist his power. More than that, how did Zeke remain unharmed even after touching Jeonghwa? Strange. It’s really strange.”

Fran, a woman with pink hair, sitting in a rocking chair and bobbing her body. Now that Azta is asleep, Fran is the only place to ask about the monarch and the god of chaos.

“Ah! Is it because I made Zeke my partner?”

“Is there something like the holy sword’s protection?”

“No. When I first saw Zeke, boom! There was something that stuck with me. I thought it might have something to do with it.”

“When you first saw me, you tried to beat me up by swearing at me.”

“Huh? Did I do that? I don’t remember~.”

Fran really didn’t seem to remember. I was definitely upset because I installed the Cutting Power Stone on my own.

“Rather than that, the real point starts now.”

“Oh, what is it? What? Have you finally come to need me~? Is that so~?”

“That’s right.”

“Ahaha. It happens again. I am the strongest demon sword. If Zeke treats me right, I can conquer the world… . Huh?”

“I guess I’ll have to borrow some of your strength.”

“Wow, really? Really? Who are you going to fight with? Could it be with that Lord of Plague?”

“No. The one above him.”

“On the throne of the monarch… . Huh… !”

Higher than the monarch. Of course, there is no one other than the God of Chaos. Fran, realizing this, was shocked and covered his mouth.

“I’m serious… ?”

“Why. Are you scared?”

“It’s scary!? Who is scared!? Of course it is possible! I am the strongest magic sword. Because! However, until the lost Power Stone is recovered, it is only half-hearted… .”

You seem scared. Won, where has your always confident attitude gone?

“So, I am trying to find the remaining Kwon Neungseok for you, who is only half of me.”

“Hmm? Do you know where it is?”

“I have a rough guess.”

Two power stones that Franc has. One of them, the Cutting Power Stone, was once owned by a criminal called the Blade Man.

He used the Cutting Power Stone to kill retired knights. Even though he was retired, he was not very strong. The fact that he killed dozens of knights shows how powerful the Power Stone is.

Naturally, such power cannot be hidden. So, it is very likely that I also know the person who has the remaining power stones.

‘Besides, considering Fran’s past stories… . There’s a 97% chance he has it.’

Additionally, the Power Stone is the power of the God of Order. In other words, it is white, the opposite of the black color that is the power of the Chaos God. And the first time I heard this word white was when I was with ‘that guy’.

“So, if you find the remaining Power Stones. You are going to run the Chaos God Raid with me. What you’ve been longing for, you and I are coming together as partners.”

“Oh… . Is it the best? The first guess is a decisive battle with the God of Chaos. It’s a great debut stage, worthy of the strongest demon sword!”

Fran’s eyes sparkled again, as if he had gained confidence in my promise to find the remaining Kwon Neung-seok.

“But, Zeke. I have a question.”

“Yeah, what is it?”

“How do you go to the chaos world?”

“… … .”

I know. How do I get over it?
