Versatile Mage

“Nagayama, your uncle killed himself not just to make amends to Akematsu. he wished to express his regret to the duped Chief of the Towers and all the deceased captives. He was one of the guards who joined the Evil Gang, and he was the one who compiled a list of non-members for the chief.”

“Akematsu did commit manslaughter, but so did all the other convicts who perished as a result of this episode. However, other prisoners were serving heavy sentences, and society would not care about them. Akematsu was different. As a result of what happened to Akematsu, people were aware of the plan to eliminate the Evil Gang. Unfortunately, people did not know much about it.”

After Lingling finished speaking, everyone’s expression changed, as if it took time to digest this critical piece of information. Some people at the management level paled as they thought about further details.

“If all the people who died at that time were dissidents of the Evil Gang, it means that all the prisoners in the entire East Guardian Towers were members of the Evil Gang. Now that so many years have passed, they must have grown to a level that we can’t even imagine!” Shou Watani said in a trembling voice.

It was too frightful!

Evil Gang had not been eradicated back then, and now it must have expanded beyond measure. With their growth rate like parasitic bacteria, the current East Guardian Towers must have become a concentration camp for the Evil Gang.

“Erm, Miss Lingling, do you have any proof for your claims?” Officer Ozawa said in a low voice.

Officer Ozawa specially invited the Chinese Hunter Master to appease everyone and solve the strange incidents. The idea was to calm everyone’s anxiety. After all, too many strange events had come to pass in quick succession.

At first, Officer Ozawa was happy to see Lingling solve the problems between the State House. It turned out that the students were to blame for the strange occurrences in the beginning.

He had not expected Lingling to reveal such shocking news. It did nothing to calm people down, instead it revealed more horrifying possibilities.

They become much more frightened.

“Although I don’t have any clear evidence, those involved knew whether the story was true. I can only expose it. Chief, even if you want to conceal it, I can tell you responsibly that when the moonless night is bound to arrive, everyone in the Twin Guardian Towers will die.”

“By then, you will have strengthened the Evil Gang, manslaughtered the inmates, and destroyed the Twin Guardian Towers, which had stood for hundreds of years.” Lingling was firm. There was no trace of playfulness on her somewhat immature and young face.

Lingling was so solemn that her aura did not match her young age. She had a lot of experience, like a mentor.

The Chief of the Towers, Shigekyo, had been seated for a while.

Even though he had known about this for a while, he was still hesitant to accept it. He made an effort to convince himself that the Evil Gang was really defeated by his strategy. But the truth was something else.

His subordinate had confessed everything to him before committing suicide.

Shigekyo saw Nagayama’s uncle kill himself that evening when he was in his room. His blood flowed, and he was dying slowly with remorse and despair. He begged Shigekyo to save the Twin Guardian Towers.

Shigekyo thought he could hide this sin forever, but he had not expected a Hunter Master to expose it.

‘How did an outsider know everything so clearly?’

“Chief!”

“Please tell us the truth!”

“Chief, are the Twin Guardian Towers in danger?”

“Chief, we should end the lockdown and contact Osaka, so they can come forward to solve this.”

“Yeah, it is not the best idea to trap everyone here. It will only make us more uneasy and cause more terror incidents.”

Suddenly becoming enraged, the Chief of the Towers struck the table.

“No way! The lockdown cannot be lifted. I won’t let scum get away. I won’t allow such a thing to happen even if the Twin Guardian Towers are impacted!” the Chief of the Towers said sternly.

Everyone looked at the Chief of the Towers in confusion as they attempted to understand his startling statement.

“Finding Ki Kurokawa is just an excuse. I believe that you know where he is. Your purpose is to lock down the Twin Guardian Towers and identify the head of the Evil Gang under the pretext of finding Ki Kurokawa,” Lingling said to the crowd.

“Miss Lingling is right. Ki Kurokawa didn’t escape from the prison. I asked an army to enter the East Guardian Towers and take him out of there.” The Chief of the Towers nodded.

“Chief, why would you do that? Why did you create such a panic for everyone?” asked an instructor.

“Miss Lingling, please help explain the matter. I-I’m ashamed to even say it.” The Chief of the Towers’ attitude toward Lingling was different. Everyone could tell that he respected her.

“Like I said before, the Evil Gang eradicated dissidents and grew continuously in the East Guardian Towers. Many guards became their members. However, that was many years ago. The Evil Gang has already crossed the suspension bridge and infiltrated the West Guardian Towers.” “The members have entered the spheres of management, academies, the military, and prisons, among others. There are members of the Evil Gang among your friends, colleagues, teachers, subordinates, and bosses, just as you feared.” Lingling glanced at the conference hall sharply.

Her statement caused an uproar. The Evil Gang created by the prisoners had infiltrated the West Guardian Towers!

“Chief, is that true?” General Takuichi stared at the Chief of the Towers.

Katana Mochizuki and Tegami Fujikata remained silent. Were they really unaware of this? They might have observed it, but they couldn’t be certain.

Lingling’s findings were unbelievable, and they felt powerless against the truth.

“For so many years, The West Guardian Towers has been in good order. How did the Evil Gang get inside?”

“Yeah, those prisoners are all imprisoned in the Dongshou Pavilion, and there are restrictions to trap them. Even if they are all Evil Gang members, they can’t escape from the East Guardian Towers.”

“Chief, it would be better not to simply acknowledge such an assumption. Regardless of our position, we all serve the Twin Guardian Towers with loyalty. It breaks our hearts to see other people being suspicious of us.”

“It’s difficult for the enemy to destroy the Twin Guardian Towers, but the panic and suspicion caused by such remarks will ruin us.”

Soon, a group of individuals opposed it and voiced their disagreements. Several disputed Lingling’s assertions.

This was often the case with people. Despite knowing the truth, they would rather judge it as false. Otherwise, it would be challenging to keep things as they are.

“I’m sorry, everyone. Locking down the Twin Guardian Towers means I’m determined not to let the Twin Guardian Towers be corroded.”
