The Degree
Black Plastic

Eight black plastics that for some reason were in the fountain pool. Ray picks up the plastic opened by Mona and finds the head with a familiar face.

Although his face was shattered to such an extent that it was difficult to identify, Ray could still tell the wrinkles on his face were.

“This is Sebastian,” said Ray.

Terumi who tried to calm Mona down gulped her saliva. He tried not to see the scattered terrible parts.

The people around also seemed powerless to see it, they did not want to engage in the cleansing. Only Ray and the previous blonde man dared to witness it.

“It's really terrible. Each plastic contains his organs and body parts,” said the blonde man. “I didn't think there was a crazy psychopath in this place.”

Ray does not know exactly who did it, but he can guess some figures who might do it.

Virgo could be the culprit even if it's less likely. Ray wasn't sure it would kill an important force like Sebastian. Not to mention the man had a major contribution to the destruction of the Blueeast.

Therefore Indri could be the culprit. That person has an incomprehensible way of thinking. It was not impossible that he wanted to eliminate the Rebellion members bit by bit.

“What should we do about this?” asked the blonde man, awakening Ray who was immersed by his thoughts.

“We have to get rid of it. Not a wise choice to leave it here.”

“I agree,” blond guy looking around. “It seems that no one else wants to do it. How about you?”

Ray could resist because of this obligation, but for some reason this blonde guy got him interested.

“I'll help.”

Ray wrapped the exposed plastic back and carried the two in his hands. The blonde man also took the same amount.

“I'm Eric. Thank you for helping.”

“Call me Ray,”. “Do you have no problem with these things? Ordinary people will have a reaction like the people there.”

Ray pointed with his tail. The person Ray was referring to was those who endured the nausea and took his mind off these plastics.

“You yourself how?” Eric answered by asking a question. “Even you do not make any expression when looking at its contents.”

Ray knew that Eric was not a layman because he himself did not explain it. Maybe everyone in this place has grown far and understood that everyone is not friends.

“You could say we're freaks for not being distracted, huh?” ray said in a weak tone.

“Ha ha ha, although reluctant to admit it but it was on target.”

Ray and Eric go to a quiet place where there aren't many people. Both of them threw plastic in their hands and looked silently.

“There are only two ways to get rid of it.” Eric said in a flat tone.

Ray nodded because he knew what he meant. To get rid of these body pieces, they could only bury or burn them.

“We'd better bury—” When Eric wants to suggest it, Ray quickly interrupted his words.

“We burn only.”

“... are you sure?” Even Eric had no confidence in wanting to burn it.

“There is a chance that people will dig it up and use it to create another mess. Eliminating it is the best option.”

If everything is on fire then there is no need to worry about any vile person using it to threaten. Even the worst would appear a bunch of lunatics digging in and sharing it.

Eric seemed to think hard for some time before nodding his head.

“I understand. Cremating is the right choice because there will be no bad people who abuse,” Eric looked at Ray after convincing himself. “I will bring the rest here, can you take care of it?”

“Not a big problem.”

Eric went to pick up the plastic left in the garden. Ray turned to his right and left to make sure that there was no one in this place. He then closed his eyes, took a deep breath and looked at the ceiling.

“Let's straighten out. Someone might kill Sebastian for a specific purpose. Not many people will hate this old man.”

Only the remnants of the Blueeast members might have a grudge against him. In addition, although it seems unbelievable but Indri could be the culprit.

“Rebellion has created a lot of problems in Open World. Even Indri was also affected so he moved to erode the strength of Virgo.”

Virgo is not an easy opponent and there is still very little information about it. Ray doesn't even know much about the guy so doesn't take much action about him.

Ray opened his eyes as he began to understand something. Surely he still could not believe that there were even some things running behind the scenes without his knowledge.

He then opened another plastic bag and found his fingers and toes, without his nails.

“So so. The man who killed Sebastian must have been introgating to get something about Virgo. Judging from his condition, Sebastian may not convey anything because all his nails were removed.”

Even if the corpse was mutilated, getting it remained important. If Ray becomes a Virgo, he won't hesitate to find Sebastian's body to autopsy and find out if Sebastian spoke up or not.

It is easy to make assumptions, if the condition of his body is very severe. Starting from every nail removed, broken finger bones to be pricked needles. The more things are found then it means that the person being interrogated is not easy to talk.

Judging from his condition vaguely Sebastian still has clean skin without bruises.

“You could say this old man unpacked something so his death was easier.” Ray closed the black plastic bag.

The choice was right to burn it to remove any trace of whether Sebastian had betrayed it or not.

“The reason Indri threw it away was probably to bluff that Sebastian spoke up about what he knew. But of course I won't follow the path.”

Reid opens the Market and intends to buy an item that will clean up all this.

“Sorry, but I will delete everything. Virgo may never know that Sebastian has leaked his secret.”

Ray must be one hundred percent sure Virgo told people to look for Sebastian's body. Fortunately he found it first so he could remove the traces left by Indri.

“It looks like everyone has started moving, yes. I can already foresee a future where traitors show their fangs.”

Ray doesn't forget about working with Virgo to create a situation where that guy could kill Mona. To make it happen, Ray had to execute his plan a little faster.

“I didn't forget. This place never bored me with it.”

The big incident is in sight. Will Virgo survive in the end? Maybe Mona and Arthur? It's not even impossible that Ray himself will fall.

“Let's see who will fall, and stand above the sky.”
