Chapter 83 (2/2)

What the hell did they mean by 『Who do you think will be the next victione too far!」

Father, as rarely called to the high-class society gathering, ca

By the way, 「The Ripper」 was the naiven to this indiscriminate serial killer

「The people of the Nen are e uproar like they tend to always do

When facing an indiscriminate serialto be the next target」

Since Adventurer Guild was located in the Nen, s that happened in the Nen

It was clear that the incident that happened during the 12th er incidents

Also, because the incident occurred in the nen, the residents of the nen iht become the next victim, and some people fall into the state of depression

「People are also rushi+ng the Patrol Knights Order to quickly find the murderer(TL: 巡査騎士団) Poor Corzei had to handle the coular citizensHe was pitted from the top and bottohts OrderAs the captain of the Royal Guards, father had sohts had investigated thoroughly for ten days after the second incident, they still couldn’t even see the shadow or the form of the criminal

Eyewitness testimonies came from both old and nen citizens, but since most of thehts eventually gave up on verifying them

So instead, they went to the poorer residential area in the Nen and detained anyone who showed any sign of bad behaviorThose ent out alone and those who stayed alone at hoed to the Patrol Knights Order’s office and subjected to violent and harsh interrogations

But even after all those efforts, the Knights couldn’t find any trace of the RipperFurtheration method, they received extreme criticisms from the citizens

To add salt to injury, the illustrated newspaper published caricature of the Captain’s incole dayThe nobles of the Old Town also voiced their request for the captain’s dismissalBut for the citizens of the Neho lived directly under the threat of the Ripper, their situation won’t ihts was fired

Even in case of the oh-so-great nobles of the Old Town ordered an investigation, it certainly wasn’t because they put the safety of the lower-caste citizens of the Nen in mind

So as the minimal defensive countermeasure for the incident, the citizens of the Nen decided to not go out at night and barred their doors and s shutSadly, soht shi+ftsThose people were not only live in fear of the Ripper, but also being suspected by the other citizens and the patrol knights

「I heard that the econo worse in the Old Town, but the Nen is even worsePeople are too scared to go out at night

Meanwhile, I heard that self-defense weapons and protective gears were selling like hot cakes」

Steph said after she went back fro to Steph, the athtti the citizens won’t cease any tihts Order tried to break the fights, but then the citizens turned against the that hts and stoned them

「So Ed, what did you see from this incident?」

Father asked for 」

Of course the Ripper case reminded me of the slasher who also reincarnated to this world, Kizaki Tooru

I was also worried that the whole situation was similar to the case of 「Jack the Ripper」 fro feels out of placeThough even to say, I knew it because David-niisan told me」

The Ripper didn’t even try to hide its work

When Kizaki killed more than a hundred people in his previous life, he probably used his own base exposedBut then, there was also a possibility after co to another world, there was no one that could restrain hier needs to hide his crime

But in that case, another question popped into one’sthe first 6 years after reincarnation?』

「For an apostle of the evil God, as being done ay too s that I was thinking

She said it right

Compared to what the other evil God’s apostles did, what the Ripper had done was nothing more than s the 〈Black Wolf Fang〉 and spearheaded an attack to invade the kingdoarasu〉 and tried to take over the country

Thinking about Kizaki Tooru, as someone as personally chosen by the Evil God fro this s we could do now besides wait and see how it goesThere was also a chance that the Patrol Knights Order ht be able to capture the Ripper」

Either way, I wasn’t the only one who could catch the slashi+ng demon

I was confident indemon if I ever met one, but it was ie town

Besides, that kind of work should be left with the Patrol Knight Orders

Although they were receiving harsh criticisot frohts Order wasn’t incohtest

As the one who popularized the press printing typography, I did feel responsible for how quickly the irresponsible gossip articles spreadSince His Majesty ment on this murder case, we had no choice but to wait for the situation to subside

ーIn short, if it was only up to this point, thisto do with me

It was probably safe to say that the an Westernia, ended in failure

I thought I had prepared for everything, but clearly, I severely underestith a person could muster when their lives were threatened

When 「that person」 saw ht my life was over

But when he looked at ed breath, 「that person」 didn’t run away nor screa…

That person sheltered meI told that person about my circumstances When I saw that person who listened toslowly, a flame lit inleading to that event– I stuttered and probably repeated some point over and over, but that person listened earnestly Finally, that person finally spoke

ーI kno it feels to be in that situation Unless you find the answer to this problem, it will haunt you for the rest of your lifeThere will be no safe haven for you To illustrate, even after everyone who cursed you died, they would still curse you in their death

For that reason, you er and a tattered cloak

There wasn’t even a nick on the bladeThe dagger was so sharp, it probably could cut through hu itThe cloth of the cloak is isolated with mana and presence, so other people couldn’t detect the wearer

These tere very valuable iteo this far for entle smile

ーIf it’s to help relief your soul, this a I never relate to any other person this much

That person told me that ere very similar

Si like a shi+ning angel How could a filth like me put on the same pedestal as that person?

I will definitely return this favor, I said

ーTo witness your soul being saved is the greatest reward I could iine

He replied

Experiht ht me about the structure of the human body How to rip huans The location of what I seek in a hue in a very kind and detailed way, so the stupid me could process it

What should I do to become someone like that you? I asked ーWhat kind of question is that, you silly thingHe laughed

ーPlease do ask if you have any question We’re not in a hurry, so let’s teach you things one by one After that, I want you to tell me the answer to that question you just asked

I hadn’t seen that person since So was just a drea in my hand That person ranted me these tools so I could affirm his existence inthat I could hear voices that couldn’t be heard That hy, even today, I was not confident about everything I seen, heard, or experienced If I had the sense of reality, is this reality really the real reality? If what I thought was real was just a ination for other people, there would be no boundary between reality and i I certain was real were that person’s ser and cloth

So I will continue the experi out there

The second subject, Catherine Fodlett, seemed to be done better than the first

I lure her with a harmless smile and invite her to a dark place, then I cut her throat with the dagger that I received fro to finish her in one painless cut, but I didn’t expect her to resist that much so I couldn’t finish her in one cutSo I cut her once ht back even though I was being so kind as to kill her painlessly? Why couldn’t she just accept my kindness? Just like how my mother scolded me, I scolded the subject

But she tried to resist even more The subject, she repeatedly threw curse words at me, the same aords thatto lose my patience, so I cut off her nose She screa subject down

「……I will rip your windpipe out if you don’t shut yourher cut off nose GoodI cracked a small smileShe noticed that and started to feel relieved I lifted her chin with er

「Hhy……?」

She could barely voice her confusion with her cut-off throat

But her words didn’t matter anymore By the time I needed to spend a lot of time and use brute force, I had lost all my kindness towards her The noisy brat must be silenced Mom would scold me if I didn’t shut up I cut her throat several ain

After that, I took off her cloth and revealed her sweaty body The damp smell of sweat entered my nose and choke me a little So dirty… It stinks… Catherine Fodlett, the boutique owner, love to wear her beautiful self-tailored clothesShe looked even younger than she actually was But no matter how hard she tried, her human body still stank like any other human Was I also born froh her pale white stomach Red blood poured out and the yellow fat-layer appeared before er displayed its superior sharpness, it cut through her body without fat sticking onto the blade I cut through her digestive tract, full of food and excreusting, but it was also a smelly and dirty work But even so, even the most unpleasant work must be finished with enthusiasm(TL: 嫌なことほど率先して取り組まなければならない。We s) I wholeheartedly wield the dagger

Finally, the dagger reached the part that I was aian that crystallized the lust of both race that I am would never have been born if this just didn’t exist

「Dirty… So dirty……」

I er and stabbed the soft and flabby h the luhtly, the blade completely severed the clump into two

「Dirty…?」

I didn’t find the answer that I seek It was dirty, but I couldn’t say that it was any dirtier than the other part of her meaty bodyIn order to find ht faint if they heard about the aruesome work that must be exerted for this task, but still, I had to do it

If I didn’t find the answer, I would live the rest of ht be dirty as well

「Even so……」

The riddle just getting deeper and deeper

Was I dirty? Or was I not?

「Verification… failure…」

I usedX on the nearby wall

The X was my newly created letter Yes and NoI didn’t kno to call so that was both dirty and not-dirty at the same time, so I made a new letter For soreat achieveh I never showed this letter to anyone else If I showed it to that person, I was sure I would be praised with that char? Of course so I could burn it into , you would inize that it is important Mother always slapped my hands whenever I cram small letters next to each other in ainThe letters that ain was instead praised bythe ith bloody X, X, and ertip felt painful and the pain was almost unbearable, but I like to think of it as a punish the verification process

The verification was only just begun

I hide my body under the cloak and slipped out from the dark alley into the crowded street There were several dubious looking people, but if you’re fast and can slip through quickly, the large number of peoplethe people who lived their whole life without doubting their own reality, I disappeared

Year 1299 Month of Vulture (12th led corpse was found The woh her throatAfter death, her abdoed

It was a terrifying incident, but at this point, it hadn’t caught the eye of the busy Monokans citizens

Although illustrated newspaper had recently picked up and published the incident, there were only a handful of people who could read, so the incident only ended up as another gossip in a random tea ceremony But even then, most of the sensible nobles would only raise their eyebrow and skip through it entirelyIt was normal for them to avert their attention froh the security around the royal capital was relatively better than the other capital city of other countries and kingdorotesque as this one

Also, the fact that the incident occurred in the 「Nen」 dulled the reaction of the rich nobles andin the 「Old Town」 For the rich people who lived in the 「Old Town」, the 「Nen」 lookedto do with theh for thee their indifferent attitude

However, the situation changed when another htingale (1st month) in the year 1300

The second victim was a woman ned a tailor shop and lived in the Nen The victim was the Old Town Royal Theatre’s exclusive supplierHer shop singlehandedly tailored every costuh she couldn’t be considered as wealthy and her shop was set up in the Nen, as an exclusive supplier for the royal theatre, she still had a considerable number of noble acquaintances

The woman was also killed by a cut to her throatAfter death, she was also gutted and her internal organs were scooped out

As a result of the tragedy that struck a well-known tailor, soe of pain on their chestMeanwhile, the other reat thrill from such an incidentAfter all, these kinds of incidents rief… You know about that social gathering that I couldn’t refuse? Every single people there were talking about the ripper all the time What the hell did they mean by 『Who do you think will be the next victione too far!」
