Chapter 2441 – 2441. Dark Moon

I went into the hut and met Nesha and Eisa.

Nesha was staring blankly into space, drenched in sweat, and Eisa was looking at Nesha with eyes full of regret.

As she was choosing her words, Nesha spoke first.

“I’m sorry that I couldn’t give birth to a healthy child. But next time, I will definitely give birth to a healthy child.”

Aside from her thoughts, Nesha’s voice was calm. So much so that the director who was next to her was embarrassed.

She’s not pretending to be calm. You can tell by looking at her eyes. Nesha is grieving, but her grief is not as deep as that of a mother who has lost her child.

She felt a strong sense of alienation.

Even though it looks the same as a human, there is something fundamentally different about it.

“… Are you feeling okay?”

“Yes? Well, whatever. Even if it’s a little difficult, it’s okay. Hmm. Still, I think it would be difficult to mate today.”

“… If it’s okay, it’s okay.”

I got out of the hut. Other people who had come to watch also offered words of comfort and disappeared. Among them, not a single one had a truly serious or sad expression.

‘Okay. It’s like this tribe.’

Miscarriages are common here.

I was the only one feeling too much empathy. Saenghwangi now. No, it looks like Nesha liked her more than she thought. However, from Nesha’s perspective, I am just an ordinary man. Nature’s bracelet still proves it.

Emotions cool down. After taking this and that out, what remained was a question.

‘Why legacy?’

This can happen if the mother’s body is weak.

Nesha was as healthy as any other normal person. Even after giving birth, there is no sign of danger to her life.

‘Miscarriages are common here. Everyone is healthy, which is not to say that it is because there are no medical facilities. Considering the short pregnancy cycle of three days instead of 10 months, it is not surprising that it quickly becomes crowded with people, but the population is not that large. … Is it being maintained?’

This is Appatier’s human testing ground.

If Alpha Tier is directly intervening and controlling the population… It’s not a strange story.

‘Either that or there is another genetic problem.’

The funeral of the unborn baby was held in a simple manner.

We sang and danced and ate food for the baby in front of a dark bonfire. The atmosphere was quite only in the beginning. Soon they start talking and playing among themselves.

Thanks to this, people’s eyes fell off me.

I went to see Eisa.

“Eisa.”

“Ah, Mr. Eugene. Nesha’s work… I’m sorry. He may have been an unwanted child from your perspective… Still, he’s a child.”

“Eisa. There is no need for you to worry.”

“… Wow. What you just said was a bit unlucky. You didn’t just come here, right? What’s going on?”

“I want to check the baby’s body. Do you know where the body is buried?”

“… Yes?”

“Didn’t you hear?”

“No, no. I heard. I was so surprised because it was unexpected. “Is this like the feelings of a parent who cannot accept the death of their child?”

“Let me tell you one thing. First, I will not be shaken just because my child has died. Second. There’s just something I want to check. I secretly told other warriors that the corpses of tribesmen were disposed of by the chieftain and his family. Isn’t it strange?”

“… That’s strange. The chief is the most powerful person in this village. There is no need to take on the responsibility of touching the corpse. All right. It moves. I know the location of the cemetery. It’s behind the chieftain’s hut. Most of the time, the chieftain doesn’t move from his house… He’s probably still at home now. Like a hut. “Like guarding a graveyard.”

“I guess I’ll have to sneak in. Can I take a detour and go in?”

“It’s a catacomb. If you want to sneak in, you have to take out the chieftain and his family… You have to drill a hole somewhere else. What do you want to do? If you are an excellent blood mage and warlock like Mr. Eugene, there seems to be a way.”

“The purpose is to confirm, so move quietly.”

He quietly moved behind the chief’s hut. An ordinary-looking forest. Just by looking at it, it is hard to believe that there are a catacombs down here.

[Electric Detection]

Use navigation magic. The electromagnetic waves extending beneath my feet were blocked by something and disappeared. Of course, I couldn’t get any information.

“You used search magic, right? How do you feel?”

“… I’m stuck. I was blocked by something. Furthermore, I feel like my magic is being interrupted. It’s a very unpleasant feeling.”

“Like the cave where that fleshy tree monster was?”

“Okay. Just like back then.”

I raised my hand. The exact location of the catacombs cannot be confirmed, and magic is not used. Although you will be disturbed inside the catacombs.

I took out 10 shovels from my inventory.

[Telekinesis]

The will becomes an invisible hand, grabs the shovel and begins to dig.

“Is it telekinesis? Usually, wizards do not prefer telekinesis, which consumes a lot of mental power… Mr. Eugene, you are different, aren’t you?”

“I am comfortable with this.”

They say it takes a lot of mental energy, but I don’t really feel it. And when doing various chores like now, telekinesis was quite convenient.

There is fewer aftereffects than using earth-digging magic, and you can save mana.

“Hmm. The skill of using a shovel with telekinesis is amazing. Have you ever done physical labor?”

“… “A while ago.”

In the military, shoveling was basic. Special forces were no exception.

I think they dug about 3 m. A hole connected to the basement was opened. I widened the hole appropriately and jumped out. Then Eisa jumps down as well. From below, I could clearly see her private parts. Eisa jumped down without any hesitation. As if to prove her recoil, she looked at her bouncing breasts and then turned her head to check the catacombs.

It was quite spacious.

There are many coffins carved out of stone and wood.

But the number was smaller than expected. Only about 30. Considering the current population of the tribe, it is normal to have at least 100 pipes.

“… “If you look at the coffins, they all look the same.”

“There isn’t even a recognizable mark, let alone a name written on it. “At this rate, I have no idea who is buried in the coffin.”

“It’s just the assortment.”

The coffins all looked the same, as if they had been made in a factory. The small coffin where the newborn baby might have been buried was not visible.

He telekinetically pushed the coffin lid next to him. The inside was empty. Eisa opened the other coffins. It was equally empty. She took the picture with a serious expression and then looked back at me.

I was staring at a bizarre statue in a graveyard.

“What do you think?”

“Think and sleep… There is only one. The body was stolen. Those Alpha Tier guys seem to have necrophilia.”

“Haha. First, it’s not me.”

A voice was heard from behind.

Being in this catacomb, my senses became dull, so I realized it too late. Eisa and I suddenly turned our heads.

The chief was standing as if blocking the entrance. Behind him, the Great Warrior Sharrock and elite warriors gather and take their seats.

Sharrock’s face was distorted as she looked at me.

“Just as the chieftain said. It’s strange to see it again. Garga. Are you deceiving us and deceiving us?”

I ignored the growling Sharrock. In the current situation, Sharrock was probably good. It is not he who is in charge.

“… Chief. “Since when did you know?”

“I knew it from the beginning. Although the Torifel tribe is rough, they do not treat their wives like livestock.”

“It was my mistake. I should have looked a little closer. I was relying too much on the charms of the bracelet. Are you an Alpha Tier employee?”

I was too complacent. To manage the tribe more easily, it is more convenient to actively intervene directly.

“It was a great luck that you came to Tiat on your own. Thanks to you, I will be promoted. Haha. “Did you enjoy the tribal experience?”

“… “Is Nesha an employee too?”

“No. It’s just an experiment. It was used to collect the genes of rare true blood vampires. Everything went according to my plan. It was so smooth that I was actually scared. Hehe.”

“Is it okay to talk about America like that?”

“Oh, are you worried about these guys’ reactions? Okay. These guys are made to be nice to me and my employees. It is said that the picture was taken by magically interpreting the imprinting effect… “I’m not a shaman, so I don’t know the details.”

“What is your purpose? “For what purpose are you doing this?”

“Hmm? That’s right… “I don’t know either.”

He grinned. It was a laugh. Then he said.

“Fresh Drug Project. Create new organisms, discover and manufacture new drugs. That’s the goal of this project. That said, it seems like there’s more to it. But it has nothing to do with me. I am a salaried worker. “I don’t care what the company does as long as I can get paid for my labor.”

“… Why did my child die? “Did you kill him?”

Is it really a genetic problem? For some reason, I felt suspicious. My body now is not that of an ordinary human being. There is a high possibility that my dead child also inherited the vampire genes.

“… “I’ll have to capture you first and then get more information.”

“Your child? Ah, that. I just had no luck. These have an average chance of miscarriage of about 30%. Did you say it was a genetic conflict? If you are lucky, you live, and if you are unlucky, you die. Your child was unlucky. Do you understand?”

“Understood. “I’ll have to capture you first and then get more information.”

“Haha. “What can a wizard who can’t even use magic properly do?”

He held a small machine in his hand. From there, a mana wave arises.

Mana Wave Device. A machine that interferes with magic casting with irregular mana waves. It doesn’t mean you can’t use magic at all. However, using magic requires several times more concentration than usual.

“It’s a mana wave device. Moreover, this is Akar’s sanctuary. Most wizards have a hard time even breathing in this space. How are you, vampire? “Do you feel like you are in poison gas?”

“… What on earth is this guy called Akar? “This is the first god I’ve heard of.”

“He is the god of life, evolution, and mutation. It is said that in the past, he fought against the God of Magic and was defeated and repelled. They say he was so upset by his defeat that he mutated himself to kill the god of magic. The result is this. In Akar’s realm, the wizard’s magic is suppressed.”

“Thank you for telling me one thing. Shall we talk more?”

“Haha. It is my final mercy.”

“It would have been better if it weren’t for the poison gas you quietly spread.”

A colorless and odorless poison.

Invisible poison was spread all around.
