Kaimon City, Pearl Branch of the Criminal Hunting Office.
"Huh?" The young hunter looked at the flickering "coffin light" and stood up immediately, "Someone is dead."
Another obese orc hunter with a big belly asked while eating potato chips: "Where did he die?"
"Let me see..." The young hunter switched the hunting screen to the surveillance screen, "The place of death is on the third street of Spirit Lake."
"I know where it is. Aren't there a lot of abandoned buildings there? Those idiotic developers dared to call a small pond 'Elf Lake', with a beautiful lake view; a place with two trees was called 'Private Forest', a secret place for health preservation; a place with a long distance from the entrance to the stairs was called a 10-meter corridor!" The fat orc hunter pouted, "It was advertised so hard, but it still didn't end. Fortunately, I used all my salary to gamble, otherwise I would definitely be stuck buying a house like Bernie."
He threw a stack of potato chips into his mouth and ate them with a clacking sound: "By the way, who died?"
"Two people died, Louis Mir, a human male, 32 years old; Niabrin Aiden, a goblin female, 14 years old..."
"Sugary history?"
"The former is six years, the latter is three years."
"He must have hid in the unfinished building and ate too much candy, and died while melting the candy. But it's quite rare that a human and a goblin melted the candy..."
Even ogres, who are naturally resistant to poison, will experience some hallucinations after eating moon candy, let alone other races. In addition to hallucinations, they will also be accompanied by strong sexual impulses and excitement. Therefore, after eating candy, "sugar people" often have conflicts or mate. When multiple men and women eat candy and mate together, it is called "melting sugar".
The young hunter found it hard to accept: "A 14-year-old goblin is not old enough to leave the orphanage."
"Oh, it seems you are not from a vegetable market orphanage." The fat orc hunter laughed, "You will know after working a few more days here. There are low-level orphans around here. It is easier for the brats in there to get out than to take a shit. The main members of several small gangs are minors. Because of the Child Protection Act, they can get a reduced sentence even if they are caught for committing a crime. They are very unscrupulous. When they grow up, they will either join gangs or go to prison to dig platinum mines for the rest of their lives."
"Then... don't we need to go see this? An underage goblin died. If they were sent to the hospital in time..."
"No need, just do it the same as last time, send the location information directly to the hospital and ask them to send someone to pick up the body." The fat orc hunter spread his hands: "If the hunter is dispatched, a case must be filed, right? A case file must be written, right? The body must be handled, right? The scene must be protected, right?"
"The most important thing is that after all these things, our salary won't increase by a single silver coin, and we have to increase our workload. In the end, the hospital will still take the body away. Isn't it better to do it all at once now?"
The young hunter found it hard to accept: "We don't care if people die in gang fights, and we don't care if people die while eating candy, so why should we hunters care?"
"I understand why a college student hunter like you was sent to such a remote police station." The fat orc hunter said calmly, "It seems that you must be a very annoying and righteous comedy character in the hall."
The young hunter shook his head, put on his windbreaker and was about to leave.
"We hunters only protect the living, not the dead." The fat orc hunter said, "For scum like these who choose to seek death and do not value their own lives, leaving them to fend for themselves is the social responsibility."
"Since when can a fourteen-year-old goblin girl who hasn't even left the orphanage choose her own path?" the young hunter cursed loudly, "She shouldn't be responsible for society, but society should be responsible for her!"
"Besides, the Blood Moon Tribe has treated us like this, how can we just watch others being killed by this society?"
Bang!
Watching the young hunter slam the door and leave, the obese orc hunter scratched his head: "I didn't expect that this college student with thick eyebrows and big eyes would secretly watch the Blood Moon Judgment during his duty... Humph, he even speaks so righteously, wait until I make a small report on him and deduct all his bonus this month, then he will realize his mistake..."
"Young people are young people. They believe whatever the ogre says. They don't think that those who can sit in that position are all cunning politicians who make specious arguments that are not in their favor and write big words that are in their favor. But now it seems that many young people will be instigated by the ogre..."
"The Blood Moon Tribe... the most barbaric civilized society..."
The obese orc hunter looked at the empty bag of potato chips, licked his fingers, and looked at the blood moon outside: "Come to think of it, why was I driven to this branch?"
The orc opened the light screen and flipped through the photo album until the screen stopped at a photo from three years ago. In the picture, he had just joined the Hunting Bureau, wearing a handsome dark red uniform, looking so strong and heroic, with a sunny smile on his face.
He looked at the mirror beside him, and saw only a decadent orc covered in bloody moonlight.
"It's only the middle-aged and elderly like us who are useless. There is still hope for the young people."
"Mayor, you died beautifully."
... ...
...
On the third street of Elf Lake, an unfinished building collapsed with a loud bang, startling a flock of birds.
Ash hid behind the broken wall, glanced at the bloodstains spreading under the rubble, and said, "Stop playing around. If we don't leave now, the Hunting Hall will catch up with us. Gerard must be so angry about my message that he wants to use fart acceleration to hunt us down. But if you want to be vented by the Three-Winged Sanctuary Magician, I don't mind."
Hiding behind another wall, Igulla asked, "Did you really leave a message for Gerard? But how do you know that Gerard was the first to arrive at the trial?"
"I guessed, you better hope I'm wrong." Ash asked, "So, do you still want to fight?"
"No more fighting." Harvey, who was hiding in the shadows on the second floor, said, "I can't communicate with the chip processors around here right now. It's too troublesome to kill you."
"Is it my illusion? Harvey, you have become very arrogant after escaping from prison." Ronald laughed.
"Ronald, do you still have time to laugh? Aren't you afraid that the Ron next to you will eat you up?" Igulla provoked, "There is no medical doctor around here who can save you."
"Don't bother 'Beautiful Beast' about that." Lang Na said with a smile: "When the news of your prison escape spreads, I'm sure your former 'old customers' can't wait to negotiate some big business with you again - your notoriety is known to everyone from Feimeng City to Kaimeng City. I know that many people hate you in prison."
"Then everyone should leave—"
"Wait!" Ash suddenly called out, "Before we part, I want to ask you a question - do you know of any way to leave the Blood Moon Kingdom?"
After a brief silence, Harvey said faintly: "Let's not talk about whether it is true or not. Even if it is true, why should I tell you?"
Ash said, "It's just like confessing your feelings. If you don't confess, there will be no result. But if you confess, maybe the other person will be blinded."
"Speaking of which, Ash, you still owe me a wish." Igula said playfully, "The jailbreak went too smoothly, and I never had the chance to use this wish... What do you think I should do with this wish? How about letting you come out and do push-ups in the middle of the ruins?"
"I think wishes should be down-to-earth. It's best if it doesn't bother me and is beneficial to you. How about you make a wish for me to buy you a birthday cake? I think a fruit cake would be great."
"What a coincidence! I don't need to benefit myself. I just want to see you in trouble." Igula shouted, "And it was obviously you who wanted to eat fruit cake!"
"I don't know." Langna answered simply.
"I have some ideas, but I can't tell you." Ronald smiled and said, "The fewer people who know, the better."
"You guys really don't have any shared thinking..." Ash complained, "Xavi, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Um?"
"I have two injured people here. They should have been near the building just now. The aftermath of our battle collapsed the building, causing the rubble to crush the two of them. After we leave, can you save them? I will dig through the rubble."
Harvey was silent for a moment: "I sensed that you are the only living person over there."
"I see..."
“So I can save it.”
"Ah?" Ash was stunned.
Two dark green rays of light flew out from the second floor and hit the rubble next to Ash.
"If they are not dead yet, I have no way to save them. But if they are dead, my miracle can temporarily turn them into zombies. Their bodies will not further transform into zombies within ten hours. If they can be treated during this period, they have a chance to survive. You don't have to dig up the ruins, otherwise they will attack others." Harvey said: "But this is a pig area, they need a little luck."
"Thanks."
Ash blinked when his thanks went unanswered, realizing that the others had already left.
Ash used his Heart Sword to clear the rubble, exposing the zombie's head. He then quickly ran around in a big circle to another street, took off his prison guard uniform, put on the crow suit given to him by the medical technician, and swaggered into this strange city.
"Since I haven't found a way to leave the Blood Moon Kingdom yet, I'll put it aside for now and complete my character's exclusive side quest first..."
Standing in front of the public bus station, Ash looked at the city map and quickly found the "Kaimon University" stop.
"Professor Schilling, the students are back from further studies in prison."
