109. Dirty and variable work (3)
📷! The druid fell to the floor with a sound.
Oliver moved right away.
I focused on my eyes, and inside the villa, a little over ten intruders were searching in pairs.
Fortunately, Jane was rescued by the corpse dolls and had just escaped.
However, the reason why he couldn’t afford it was because Nina of the Horse Gun was persistently aiming at Jane.
First, it had to get attention.
“Can I ask you a question?”
Oliver spoke to the communication device, just in case. Then a surprising response came.
[Fuck, how are you alive? Scott?!]
“I was lucky, Mr. Scott was unlucky.”
[!!!]
It was a communication device, so he couldn’t read his emotions, but Oliver could feel Nina’s agitation.
As if to prove this in reality, a purple magic circle unfolded in front of Oliver.
[This dog…!]
Oliver thought.
The first time she showed off her weapons.
It was really impressive, and even though it was a function of the weapon, it was very intimidating to fire magic bullets at the desired point.
You are safe, but you can attack the enemy at the worst time.
However, she had to see this place in the end to get a shooting point, and for that reason, she wore goggles with magical powers.
In other words, seeing this place before shooting.
Oliver ignited the emotion he was holding in his hand and then burst it, creating a tremendous light for a moment.
Black light brighter than light.
It was a slight touch on the fire that the puppet had caused, but the purple magic circle slowly disappeared as if it was actually eaten.
[aah! Such a bastard–!!!]
“sorry.”
Oliver apologized and instructed the zombies remotely.
To attack the intruders who entered the villa.
The zombies in the villa followed the orders well, but unfortunately, they could not properly subdue the intruders due to the lack of unique quantities of zombies.
Of course, there were also the intruders who responded well, but it didn’t seem like the level of a gun-made gang.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
As Oliver issued additional orders, the zombies suddenly began to self-destruct when they got close enough to the intruders.
Puck—!! Puck—!! Puck—!!
Every time a dull explosion sounded, a scream resounded throughout the villa,
The intruders suffered indirect damage from the explosion and infection by blisters.
Although it was emotionally exhausting, it was definitely effective. I thought I would use it often when I was feeling relaxed.
“This damn bastard…!!”
An intruder suddenly appeared from the hallway and aimed a gun at Oliver.
One side of his face was turned over in purple blisters, which was quite fatal.
It was truly a sad case. If blisters did not reach a certain level, they would heal naturally enough.
However, that’s it and work is work.
Oliver swung the quarterstaff to raise the muzzle up, then slammed it down again, striking the assailant in the face.
A face full of purple blisters.
width-! The blisters burst with a sound, but the pain was so severe that he screamed and grabbed his face and sat down.
As a result, another assailant standing in the back picked up the gun, but Oliver fired a hated bullet to knock him down, then slammed the first assailant in the head with a quarterstaff.
Quick–!
He felt something breaking, but Oliver, being busy, didn’t mind, and ran forward and jumped out the window.
Thanks to the few remaining black suits gathered on the legs, it was almost like a bare body, and even if I tried to put the black suit back on, I did not feel enough.
It seems that he spent more than expected to deal with zombies.
‘The Druid is right. Black magic’s ability to sustain combat is too low. I need to improve.’
Oliver organized his thoughts in that way, extracted his emotions, and called the Invoice Doll over here.
Moments later, the corpse doll came out of the woods and found Jane, half-terrified, frozen.
“Hey, this is… Are you Dave?”
Jane asked, with mixed emotions of disgust, shock, fear, and bewilderment.
She still didn’t seem to understand what was going on.
“That, so… The bodyguards-”
“Did you try to kill the girl?”
“·····Yes.”
“It sounds like you’ve betrayed Mr. Scott.”
“Scott?”
“Yes, druids. With green hair.”
“Did he also betray him?”
“Yes, and I think Nina and Duncan also betrayed me. I don’t know exactly when, but it must have been before I came to the villa.”
Jane put on a shocked expression.
A great sense of anger and betrayal burned within him, along with feelings of despair, resignation, and emptiness.
“why·····.”
“I do not know. That’s me-“
That was then.
Guess her vision was restored, Nina activated her magic circle again, trying to end Oliver and Jane at the same time.
“Third.”
When Oliver called, Third entered the rag and pulled Jane.
Then, I focused on the magic circle, and could see beyond the magic circle like the ‘watcher’s eye’, a black magic item.
Maybe Nina hasn’t fully recovered yet, so she blinked her eyes out of focus.
Oliver gathered his emotions and created a dark magic circle right in front of Nina.
It reminded me of the Hoffman family’s exclusive warlock, Hilton, who created a black magic circle in the air.
Bullets of hate gathered in the Black Magic Circle, and surprisingly, they fired, creating a small hole in Nina’s chest.
A magic circle that vanishes in vain.
Jane asked.
“What, what did you do?”
“I chased after Nina in reverse and shot first.”
Jane was silent at Oliver’s calm tone and asked again.
“… Lord, are you dead?”
“Isn’t he supposed to be dead because he had a hole in his chest?”
“·················ogue.”
At Oliver’s question, Jane shut her mouth. Then I looked around, and so was Oliver.
He focused his attention on his eyes, but because it was a sparsely populated place, there was no one else but Jane and Oliver himself. It was really fortunate.
At least there were no more enemies.
Although he still had vitality and emotions, he would show the bottom when he encountered a druid-like foe, but it was not a very relaxed situation.
‘Well, maybe it’s good? This is the first time this has happened.’
Indeed it was What Oliver had done so far had only done what he had to do without much thought, but now he had to think for himself.
As I was contemplating what to do, I heard a familiar yet unfamiliar sound.
“Fuck…. I will turn really.”
Turning her head, she saw Jane with pink hair, with a serious expression on her face.
It was a contrasting expression to his always smiling face.
“…for now, how about moving?”
“What? no···. Yes? I beg your pardon.”
“First of all, I asked him how he would like to leave this place. It looks like he’s determined and trying to harm the young lady, but it would be dangerous to stay still like this. First of all, I think it would be better to get out of here. At least in my opinion.”
Jane put on a subtle expression.
“…are you going to help me in this situation?”
“…? I’m not here to help. It’s just my job. Aren’t you hired to keep your ex? Forward····. For five days.”
She looked at Oliver with a puzzled expression on her face.
It was an unexpected reaction, but Oliver thought he had said something wrong.
“uh·····. And she taught me a lot of fun things.”
momentary silence.
“Ha-” Jane laughed briefly.
It was a refreshing and sincere smile compared to the usual smile.
“I don’t think there is a law that tells people to die…. But where are you going?”
“I do not know. Shouldn’t we go back to Landa? Do you have nowhere to turn for help?”
Jane bit her lower lip and pondered.
The girl-like appearance that I had shown you for the past few days disappeared out of nowhere, and I had the same face as the employees I saw at Coco or Angel’s house, but somehow I felt like I had only seen her true face.
I like it.
“Wow…. I have one.”
“It doesn’t seem like a good place to be.”
“Yeah, it’s kind of like that. Still, there’s nothing wrong with it. Because there are times when it can’t be helped. By the way, Landa is a bit far from here, is there a way to get there?”
Instead of answering, Oliver pointed to the car parked in front of the cottage.
“Do you know how to drive a car?”
“Yes, I learned half a day.”
“…half a day?”
“Yes, half a day.”

Beep- click!
As soon as the communicator’s beep was heard, Duncan picked up.
It was a secret communication device made by Hermes, and it was difficult to find traces of the call unless it was a top net navigator, but it was quite expensive.
Usually companies, solvers, gangs, politicians, etc. bought a lot when doing bad things. Just like right now.
[manager.]
“Okay, how’s the situation?”
[It seems to have failed.]
“····What?”
Duncan was not quite surprised.
Because it was an operation that could not fail.
Five conciliated bodyguards, a druid and two outstanding solvers like Nina of the Horse Gun.
He even sent three Pink Man teams in case of an emergency.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how high the stock price, it was not enough power to stop the three troubleshooters and security guards.Even protecting a young woman who doesn’t know anything about the world.
However, beyond the communication device, there were many stories of denial of this.
[I just checked the inside of the villa. All of our personnel are dead.]
“Please report in detail.”
[Druid Scott is half-corrupted, with decaying flesh and blood scattered throughout. The Pink Man is half turned into a zombie and collapsed, and the other half is flying or rotting…. Even Nina, who served as support in the Panic Room, died with her heart pierced.]
“·················ogue.”
Duncan was silent.
I was surprised, but that didn’t stop the accident.
He used his experience as an executive at the Pink Man office in the past to understand the situation through the report given.
“Are there any corpses other than us?”
[There is Russell, a magical fighter who died with vines in his mouth, and Godry, a veteran solver.]
“Then, Jane and the Warlock are gone.”
[Yes, by the way, considering that there is not even a single car, it seems that he got on and ran away.]
“·················ogue.”
Duncan was once again in trouble.
How could a warlock brought in by a prostitute disturb you in this way?
Of course, when I researched it, I knew it wasn’t a joke, but even so, this was more than I expected.
I thought I would be able to overwhelm him if I pushed him at once with Scott, who had excellent melee combat power, without letting him take out the corpse doll. It seemed like a mistake.
Even so, I’d be able to kill Nina and the three Pink Man teams. How the hell?
Duncan wondered for a moment whether the rumors that a warlock named Dave had anything to do with puppets were true.
‘Such nonsense….’
“Hey, what’s going on?”
Duncan turned his head to the sound of his calling.
There sat an old woman, her son, and her daughter, who had maintained their youthful vigor with expensive magical items.
“…a little, there is a problem.”
“A problem?”
A stare of blatant contempt. It was an eye that only the so-called nobles could do.
“… Duncan. You have to work straight to get paid.”
“·····Do not worry. It’s within the stipulated range.”
“Assuming range?”
“Yes, so trust me. Eventually you will have to come to this city. Excuse me for a moment.”
Duncan walked out of the room without answering. After all, he hired him because he needed it, so there was no need to look further than this.
As evidence of that, Mrs. Lock and her two children only use impressions. I couldn’t catch Duncan, but either way, Duncan came out and pressed button 3 to contact me somewhere.
beep- beep- beep- beep. Finally a click was heard.
[What’s wrong with you calling this way?]
“As I said before, I will give you a share. Let me help you.”
