Three days later, in a village outside City B.
"Are we really going to do it here?"
Looking towards the fifty more people who were lining up neatly, Alicia glanced towards Clarissa. Next to Clarissa, there was a figure of Diana who was still standing still as usual.
"Indeed. Because we deliberately found the village of the thieves to begin with.
After all, it's like a ritual sacrifice or something like that."
"Eh? Meanin?"
Alicia asked with wide eyes.
"We're going to lure out the evil creatures. The evil creature will kill some villagers. After that, the news will soon spread. Instead, Owl who heard the news will come here."
"We .. will sacrifice ordinary citizens?"
Hearing the question, Clarissa stared with a blank expression. It seems that the girl actually disagreed with that way too. To comfort himself, he said.
"This is a village of thieves. The one we sacrifice is the one who deserves to be sacrificed."
"But they're ordinary citizens! Even if thieves, we should punish them according to what they have done."
"All the top parties have agreed, Alicia. All you can do now is watch everything."
"But—"
"No word but, Alicia. All have been approved. Even if we are reluctant, we can only see."
"Then ... What do we do now?"
"I told you, Alicia. After putting everything up, we just have to leave and wait. Old Dong will take care of the rest.
If the time comes, Old Dong will signal for us to immediately rush to attack. That's the brief explanation."
"In other words, we come only to memorize the terrain. After that we wait in a more distant location. That only?"
"Indeed."
"Old Dong's. That person, is the Grand Master Spiritualist you mentioned?"
"The old man is strong. Besides, he's the one who's gonna call the evil creature."
"So .. is this the old man's plan?"
"Indeed."
"Why is a crazy plan like this approved?"
"Because Owl is dangerous. Besides, he had also kidnapped Old Dong's grandson."
"The Owl is dangerous, it's true. Whereas if the man kidnaps a child ...
I can't believe he did it!"
"But that's the reality. Old Dong was Nam's maternal grandfather. After a long search, he finally found the location of the child. But when he reached the village Nam lived, the boy had taken Owl and the members of the Dark Wings Guild.
Besides, when Owl disappeared. The boy also disappeared. Many people think that Owl took Nam because the boy knew his identity. So, Nam was taken away."
"That's ..."
Alicia felt she could not deny all that. In his heart, though the woman yelled many times that Owl was a traitor. Yet he still believed, the man was actually good.
"Everything will be revealed when he's arrested, Alicia. For now, don't think about it too much."
After saying that, Clarissa looked in a certain direction. There, there was the figure of an old man who looked friendly. He looked so soft and flashy. Which part is striking? Of course the old-fashioned clothes and his left hand were gone.
"So this is the famous Miss Alicia." Old Dong smiled amiably. "Did you know, my name is Dong. You can call me Old Dong."
"En."
Alicia nodded lightly. He looked polite at once quite cold. It seemed that he was keeping his distance from the man for no apparent reason. You could say, it was like instinct.
"I'm sorry that this old man's appearance makes you uncomfortable, Miss Alicia."
Hearing Clarissa's explanation, Old Dong scratched the back of his head.
"Thank God it wasn't for my looks."
"Of course not" said Alicia briefly.
Looking towards Old Dong, Alicia narrowed her eyes. He then asked in a curious tone.
"I heard, you can summon that evil creature, Old Dong?"
"It's true."
"Isn't such a creature very dangerous and rare. How can you call him easily?"
"Maybe, because of the old story ..."
Old Dong smiled bitterly as he held his left shoulder. His expression looked like an old man who remembered the most memorable and heartbreaking incident of his life.
"Old story, huh?"
Seeing Old Dong's expression, Alicia no longer wanted to bring it up. He guessed, all of that happened because of their battles in the past. The battle that left Old Dong's left hand was wiped out.
"The troops have surrounded the village. Do you want to see what kind of creature it is?"
Old Dong smiled amiably as he invited the three beauties to come with him.
With his back slightly bent, Old Dong turned around to leave. The three women followed him. But as their distance got closer to the village, the old man suddenly said.
"Better you guys just watch from here."
Old Dong's words made them become shocked. The old man suddenly jumped from the ground onto a tree. He jumped from one tree to another, before he finally stood on the tree closest to the village.
At that moment, Old Dong took out an object from behind his clothes. It was a flute with a strange shape. Instead of being straight, it was curved like a crescent moon. Apparently, it was made from the shell of a certain creature.
Looking around, Old Dong then blew the strange flute.
Everything suddenly became quiet. Alicia, Clarissa, and Diana had serious expressions on their faces. The special officers had also taken out their weapons, looking extremely vigilant.
"Is ... nothing happening?"
As a researcher, Clarissa came just to see strange things that were not recorded in the book. But seeing that nothing had happened, he felt somewhat regretful.
"If you know this—"
Haven't had a chance to finish his words, the ground suddenly trembled. The birds in the forest instantly flew up and ran around as if frightened by something.
The shock became even stronger as a black figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the village.
From the head to the visible part of the body, it was dozens of meters long. His body was somewhat flattened with a width of about two meters. His entire body was coated in a black exo-skeleton that looked sturdy. The creature also has hundreds, even thousands of pairs of legs.
His head looked creepy, quite like a centipede in general, but had two mouths. The creature also has many eyes. On top of his head, there appeared three glittering sharp horns, emitting a dangerous glint!
"The name is Abyssnian Giant Centipede."
Old Dong said in an indifferent tone.
ROOAAARR!!!
The creature roared madly. Looking towards the settlement where many people were there, the Abyssnian Giant Centipede immediately shot up. Without hesitation directly tore one person apart and swallowed it straight away.
The appearance of the monstrous creature instantly made the citizens panic. The special forces who were carrying weapons were even frightened. They had never heard that there was such a big insect in the world.
Unafraid, Alicia's expression looked gloomy when she saw the figure of the Abyssnian Giant Centipede. Not to mention, when he started to commit massacres. In contrast to what the boss had told him, the girl saw women, parents, even children being ground into minced meat in the mouth of the Abyssnian Giant Centipede.
Not only that, the wooden houses that were there were also destroyed. Rather than a savage beast, the creature was akin to a living disaster.
When Alicia was about to get angry, Old Dong wiped away the tears that drenched his face while saying.
"I'm sorry, but this has to be done for the greater good."
