Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 57 gives you two choices

【Judge】Extraordinary Trait ×1

"Knock knock~"

The frost-covered head was kicked like a ball in front of the overweight middle-aged man.

Kapin looked at Horace's unseeing face and felt a chill run down his spine.

Mr. Horace, who was usually invincible in front of him, had his head easily chopped off and used as a football.

Kapin's body trembled uncontrollably.

If he could, he wished it were all a nightmare, that he could wake up as soon as he opened his eyes.

"Mr. Capin, is that right?"

Ember walked slowly to Kapin's side, looking down at him.

"What...what do you want to do...?"

Kapin was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his voice trembling.

"Miss Casey on Nobel Street in the Joewood district is dead. Does that concern you?"

Ember asked very seriously.

"No, it has nothing to do with me! I don't even know her!"

"And what about Miss Eve from New Year's Road in Hillston?"

"I don't know them at all! Sir, sir! Whoever killed them, it definitely has nothing to do with me! Please let me go, and I can help you track down their killer!"

Kapin knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy on the verge of collapse.

He felt he had suffered an undeserved misfortune; at most, he had only trafficked a person in the East District.

How could someone possibly commit murder in Hillston and Joewood?

"I see."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, seemingly believing Kapin's explanation.

Then, he raised the ice-blue longsword in his right hand.

This immediately made Kapin realize that no matter what his answer was, the other party had no intention of letting him go!

"No, you can't kill me!"

Kapin's eyes widened suddenly, an overwhelming surge of terror shooting into his brain, coursing through his veins, and flooding his nerves. Almost instinctively, he screamed, "You can't kill me! I'm an official!"

"official?"

Yu Jin paused in his slashing motion, lowering his head to stare intently at the man before him.

"Yes, yes, I'm also an official."

Seeing that Yu Jin had stopped, Kapin hurriedly nodded in agreement, nervously saying, "I...we're on the same side."

Kapin breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he had made the right bet; the man in front of him was indeed an official!

In fact, he just lied.

He didn't know Eve, but he knew Casey.

During the day, one of his men was arrested by the police because of this bitch named Casey.

To avoid trouble, he specifically instructed his subordinates to prepare to have someone go to the police station to silence his henchman.

And just as Casey died during the day, someone came to his house that night asking if he had killed Casey.

Even if he were stupid, he could guess that the other party was most likely an official!

The other party's current attitude proves everything; he is indeed an official.

Since they're official, that makes things easier, because they're on our side!

"My lord, I..."

Kapin put on a fawning expression, intending to brush the matter off, but his expression froze as soon as he spoke.

Because the long sword, radiating an astonishing chill, was already pressed against his neck.

"Which official organization are you from?"

"Ember asked coldly."

"I...I am..."

With his life hanging in the balance, in his panic, Capin didn't care about the angry glare from Katie, who was being controlled, and almost instinctively wanted to blurt out that word.

But as soon as he said it, he swallowed it back.

He dared not say it.

"grown ups."

Kapin glanced fearfully at the head at his feet, his voice trembling, "I can't tell you who I'm loyal to. I can only tell you about Mr. Horace and those two extraordinary beings. They are all in the Arbitrator sequence."

"arbitrator?"

Ember glanced at Katie and Parker, who were being controlled by the Kurara sisters, and then at the headless corpse.

If he remembers correctly.

In the Kingdom of Rune, only the royal family holds the power of arbitration.

However, the possibility of wild extraordinary individuals becoming arbitrators cannot be ruled out.

But the fact that all three extraordinary individuals are through the arbitrator route makes it hard not to draw conclusions.

Doesn't this mean that the royal family is secretly supporting Capin's human trafficking?

"Are you being instructed by someone behind the scenes to traffic people?"

"Ember suddenly asked."

"Yes."

Kapin swallowed hard, ignoring Katie's murderous glare, and nodded with difficulty.

"My lord, I have handled at least 100,000 slaves. Think about it carefully, how could I possibly support such a huge market by myself?"

"The people I brought from the East District alone number at most a thousand or eight hundred; it's impossible for me to bring in a hundred thousand at once. They were all transported by sea; I was just in charge of the transshipment."

"Besides, even if I had the means to acquire so many slaves, who could I sell them to? Who could possibly absorb a hundred thousand slaves at once? Only the powerful forces behind them could handle that!"

"And their purpose in wanting so many people is to..."

Kapin deliberately dragged out his words, but his gaze subtly drifted toward the back of Ember.

There, a burly man with a thick beard held a greyish-white steam rifle, his cold, piercing blue eyes fixed on Ember's back.

Then, pull the trigger.

"Aww!"

A rotting wild dog with scarlet eyes suddenly darted out of the shadows and, just as the bearded man was about to pull the trigger, opened its blood-red maw and bit at his head.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the tall, bearded man collapsed to the ground.

The rotting stray dog ​​squatted at his feet, its mouth dripping chunks of flesh and blood that it could neither chew nor swallow.

【Interrogator】Exceptional Trait ×1

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Capin."

Without turning his head, Yu Jin looked at Kapin with a rather solemn expression and said, "As a reward for the information you provided, I can give you two choices."

"First, I'll leave you a whole body and hang it on the first street lamp by the door."

"second……"

"I choose option two! I choose option two!"

Kapin was terrified when he heard the first option, and screamed in horror before Ember could finish speaking.

"it is good."

Yu Jin nodded slightly. "Then, in accordance with your wish, I will hang you on the second street lamp."

"No, wait, I still have..."

Kapin was terrified and wanted to say something, but Ember had no interest in listening to his nonsense anymore.

Because he could tell that Kapin only knew so much information.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have run out of ideas later on.

Otherwise, Yu Jin wouldn't mind continuing to listen.

"What are you waiting for? The police?"

Yu Jin glanced at the scantily clad girls, his brows furrowing slightly.

"I, we..."

One of the girls, with long, slightly wavy brown hair, looked at the huge, ferocious wolf head of the embers and said tremblingly, "We still have companions locked in the basement."

"You should know where the key is, right? Go get the key and save them yourself."

As Ember picked up Horace's corpse from the ground, preparing to hang it on the lamppost by the door, he casually replied.

The girl looked at his ferocious wolf head, hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and walked towards Kapin's corpse.

Under the watchful gaze of the rotting wild dog with its scarlet eyes, he trembled as he fumbled for the key.

"Th...thank you."

The girl spoke in a low voice, somewhat fearfully, and then ran towards the basement without looking back.
