92 Tue – Chaos and Heroes (10)
“…I don’t know anything else, but Roses should also be investigated. He’s a man who broke the strict military law and ran away.”
“Of course, if the lawmaker accuses the vice president, we will investigate him.”
Austin was imprisoned at home after being investigated without detention.
The investigator treated him as an active member of the National Assembly with respect, courtesy, and formality.
To be formal means that common sense works, or in other words, it is really banal and dragging.
Austin saw that that was the purpose of the accusation against him.
“Arbitrary and irrational conduct, violation of peacetime rules, bribery… I can tolerate all of that. But sexual scandal! Now that’s… My grandson is entering the academy this year!”
“But when a strong witness comes out, we have to investigate.”
The problem was that there wasn’t just one or two charges against Austin now.
What about the investigator? Austin looked at him and sat down on the chair as if he was about to collapse.
Vice President Rogers Leblanc is not stupid. He mobilized all his moves to increase the number of wins.
Austin noticed that his accusations included not only Roses, but also opposition members who had usually clashed with him.
After all, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the National Guard, and no matter what enemy he faced, he eventually ate 10,000 troops and was defeated. It meant that it was politically very unfavorable now.
“The monsters we’ve dealt with must never be taken lightly! Other survivors will testify, but they’re world-eating monsters!”
“I did get a report, too. Well, I guess they’re pretty bizarre monsters enough to win against 10,000 of the National Guard.”
“…this is absolutely true.”
Although he realized the investigator’s intentions that he might be raising the enemy to cover up his responsibility after you were defeated, Austin gave up his pride and gave a sincere warning.
Although news was also transmitted to the center of the city by way of communication, the attitude of the center was lukewarm compared to the periphery, which is now a hell road.
“Aren’t they savage beasts anyway? Of course, the vice president was defeated, but he blamed the lack of training and weak will among the troops, not because the monsters were strong. He said that an elite central army would not be defeated.”
The response of the investigator now seen was an average reaction.
No matter how much Austin, who had met him in person, explained the power of the super-large species and the superior species, it was just an excuse for the leader.
‘Stupid… you’ll find out soon, but that’s probably after a lot of people have already been sacrificed. The old ones have become evil snakes engrossed in the struggle for power, and the young ones who do not know the fierce times have become too arrogant in peace.’
Austin bit his tongue and shook his head. You don’t know the true chaos until you experience it.
And now the chaos was definitely approaching.
“Don’t worry too much and wait. And didn’t you say that the source of those monsters is an ancient labyrinth, and that Vice-President Blake didn’t mind knowing about it?”
“Yes. Now, do you think I’m even lying to avoid the responsibility of losing?”
“Hey. It’s not like that, Senator.”
The detective, who was waving his hand, smiled. After that, the investigator directly followed the car and handed it to him.
“The only source of that testimony was not the legislator, but only that Reina, a research wizard… Couldn’t she have deceived the legislator with a ‘lie’ that didn’t even work?”
Then he blinked softly. Austin saw it and closed his eyes in despair. It was because he had an intuition about what was going to happen to Raina, who is now being held captive at the investigation headquarters.
“Let’s talk again.”
Dark basement interrogation room. No, actually, it’s closer to another place than a decent interrogation room. In the first place, there is a separate room above the interrogation room sign.
“What happened to you?”
“…Blakel’s vice president, Roses, ignored the words of a moonlight survivor boy who had come out of the labyrinth and asked for help, and colluded with the head of the lab to kill him for personal research. After witnessing this, he attacked and imprisoned me. And, knowing the truth about the monsters crawling out of the labyrinth, he concealed it.”
Water dripped down from Reina’s wet blonde hair and her pointed nose. However, with a pale face, trembling and clenching her teeth, she spoke out the testimony that she had repeated dozens of times until now.
“Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve had such a bad bitch for a young bitch.”
“Ub…”
At the investigator’s instructions, her head was plunged back into a puddle of ice-cold water.
Her slender body, tightly bound by the strong men, convulsed violently, but it was only two minutes later that they brought her out again.
“Uhhh!”
Two minutes later, she was taken out and vomited water. His body trembled more and more, and his eyes almost opened.
I only received water and torture for several hours in a row. A time when any person would have already surrendered.
“Now, shall I say it again?”
“Blake, Roses, vice president of the Blake Society…”
However, Reina continued to say the same thing while spitting out the water. At worst, the investigator who was good at this kind of torture investigation was so great that he put his tongue out.
“But, no one cares about a research mage like you? Hang it up. I’ll spit out the water left in the intestines cleanly.”
However, the investigator who had already received the order had an answer that he had to hear.
Reina’s drenched, wet body was tied to her ankles and hung upside down in the air. In an instant, her face flushed with blood.
The skirt that reached her shin turned over, revealing her underwear, but now there was no time to worry.
“I didn’t want to touch her because she had a pretty flat face.”
The men, who had been instructed by the investigator, came one by one with large clubs. In her blurry vision, she saw the clubs lifted upwards at her body.

“Why don’t you just calm down and be calm? Vice President Blakel? As the president of the society is also willing to help.”
“…Is it possible to be comfortable with you now?!”
“I don’t know what you’re worried about.”
Austin was under house arrest, and Reina was being tortured in the underground torture chamber of the investigation headquarters.
Roses, who accused the two of them, was not in a comfortable position either.
“Rep. Schultz is a gangster, and all kinds of suspicions are popped up at once. He’s a research wizard like Reinan. Actually, there’s no problem if you kill and bury him like this. You too should be responsible for the defeat, but you’re just that anxious about that.”
“Because of things more complicated than that!”
Roses, who had been spinning around on the carpet, unable to sit still, finally screamed.
The man who sat in the chair leisurely talking to him was a young man with brilliant silver hair. His golden eyes twinkled.
“Complex? What?”
“Those monsters… you must never take it lightly.”
“Yeah? When he testified, he sputtered and said that they weren’t a big deal. Did they look like a unit?”
The corners of his lips twitched. Seeing this, Roses immediately broke into a cold sweat without realizing it.
He was the first to recognize that he was a player and approached him first. After that, when he confirmed that the worlds of each other did not overlap, he was the first to reach out to the alliance.
“That’s… I don’t know. You can tell just by looking at ‘you guys’ anyway.”
“Yes. The power of His blood has given us the harbinger of what the creatures cannot see.”
He was a unit. It’s also a pretty strong unit.
Others don’t know, but Roses knew that the number of people secretly annihilated from all continents was close to a thousand, saying they were rival units.
‘The youngest chairman of the Continental Congress is the unit, and virtually the entire continent is in his hands, so other guys can’t stand it.’
Roses, who know one pride, were one of the few opponents who had to break that pride.
Thinking for a moment, he muttered blankly as he brushed his silver hair.
“I’ll have to take a look.”
“If it’s a unit? Isn’t it too relaxed?”
“Do you think we will lose? The whole continent is with us? Well. And, according to reports from the front line, those monsters disappeared at once.”
“that…”
Roses shut her mouth. Suddenly the monsters disappeared. The monsters that kept running rampant without a break.
If the leaping of the monsters had been worse than that, we would not have been able to talk so leisurely now.
‘What the hell?!’
As a result, Roses’ situation became quite ambiguous, and it was difficult to determine whether this should be considered a good news or a bad news.
“But, in case you don’t know, wouldn’t it be better to deal with it quickly? I don’t know how strong those monsters will become if I just give them time.”
“It makes sense, but when I get the chance, I have to go ahead and make sure the internal crackdown.”
Roses was fussed, but he continued to relax. The basis for this was the power that he had been granted by the player.
If you use that power combined with the body’s power, they become stronger as time goes by. So time is on their side.
That was his idea.
However, they were not the only ones who grew up over time. And at a speed beyond imagination.
The problem is that they don’t know, or even can’t imagine.
The world is wide, and in the end, they are just frogs in a well. They had fallen into the arrogance and pride that Kaltas, the former demon king of another world, had been so wary of.
“Now this is your chance to blow away opposition like Austin and eat the whole Congress. You care about the Society.”
“…I see.”
“Don’t worry about the woman who exposed your corruption. You can kill it during the interrogation, or you can confide it and execute it.”
He had a radical enough that even Roses could notice, and he leisurely poured fresh tea into his glass.
