“So, basically, your daughter is inside that room with exactly three of her friends, two of whom are male and one is female, and they are brutally killing anyone who enters that room, right?” Faith asked Mr. Freeman.
“Yes, and she is eating them too,” Mr. Freeman replied.
“Well, your daughter has saved money on food. I mean, that’s a good thing, right?” Anon spoke with a smile on his face as he lit his cigar and took a puff.
Everyone inside the room immediately looked at Anon with very serious expressions.
“What?” Anon asked with a confused expression.
“Mr. Jule, don’t make jokes about it,” Faith spoke as she looked at Anon.
“I was just trying to lighten the mood,” Anon replied as he continued to puff on his cigar.
Suddenly, Julia and her soldiers entered the room.
“So, are you aware of the circumstances now?” Julia asked.
“We are,” Faith replied.
“How do you want to proceed?” Julia inquired.
“Well, I am thinking of using bait to lure out one of them, but… I just don’t know what I am going to use as bait,” Faith replied.
“We already tried that; we used meat, weed, ganja, and every other drug. They don’t seem to react to anything,” Julia spoke.
“You said you saw her kill everyone that went inside that room, right?” Anon asked Mr. Freeman. Without looking at him, he flicked his finger and dropped the ashes of the cigar into a golden ashtray placed on the table in front of him.
“Is he talking to me?” Mr. Freeman asked Faith with a confused expression.
“I am,” Anon replied as he turned his neck towards Mr. Freeman.
“Oh, yes… I did. She is brutal when she kills. It’s like a monster took over her body,” Freeman spoke.
“Was she using magic while killing them?” Anon asked.
“Huh…? N-No, she killed them with just her hands,” Freeman replied. .𝗰𝗼𝗺
“Did any of her friends use magic in this entire killing session?” Anon questioned.
“No, but why are you asking that? I already told you that they’ve become monsters and they are killing people,” Freeman spoke.
“Yeah, I know,” Anon replied as he stood up from his place and started walking towards Mr. Freeman.
“Excuse me, one moment. Mr. Jule, come with me,” Faith said as she grabbed Anon’s hand and led him into the hallway.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Anon asked with a confused expression.
“What am I doing?” Anon questioned back.
“You are asking illogical and stupid questions to our only witness and a father whose daughter just became a cannibal monster. I thought you were here just to observe?” Faith asked with an angry expression.
“Look, beautiful, I will not take part in your investigation anymore, but I would like to point out one thing. Just assume you became a monster, and you were also the top-class magic user of your academy back in the day. What would you kill people with? Magic or your hands?” Anon asked as he took a puff of his cigar.
“What kind of question is that?” Faith replied with a confused look.
“Just answer,” Anon insisted.
“Okay, I would definitely use magic because my magic would get heightened after becoming a monster,” Faith spoke.
“Good, now your question is, why isn’t his daughter doing that? Because the graduating degree from her magic academy states that she was the top-class magic user of her batch,” Anon replied with a smile.
“You mean her intelligence has been sacrificed, and she can’t enchant spells due to that, right?” Faith asked with a curious expression.
“Exactly. Now, figure out the rest. I will go and take a nap,” Anon spoke as he went back inside the room and sat down in the chair.
Faith immediately went to Julia and explained this to her.
“So, what are you implying with this, Mrs. Faith?” Julia asked.
“I am implying that we should use magic to fight them. If our soldiers are weak against them physically, we can make up for it in the magic aspects,” Faith replied.
“Yes, you are right,” Ella spoke up.
“Well, let’s go then. What are we waiting for?” Julia spoke as she started walking toward the exit of the room. Faith began following her, but suddenly she noticed that Anon wasn’t coming with her.
“What happened, Mr. Jule? Aren’t you going to come with us?” Faith asked with a smile.
“Na, you guys go. I will be here in case you release them out of their cage,” Anon replied.
“What do you mean by cage?” Julia asked as she halted her steps.
“Well, there are four monsters in one room of this house across the hall, who killed over a hundred people, and you think he won’t keep them in a cage?” Anon spoke as he pointed toward Mr. Freeman.
“Why would he cage up his own daughter, and he didn’t know that she would turn into a monster in the first place. Are you in your right mind?” Ella asked with a confused expression.
“Well, I hope she is right. Huh… Mr. Freeman?” Anon spoke as he blew a mouthful of smoke at Mr. Freeman’s face and looked at him with a smile.
“I-I… This…” Mr. Freeman’s tone started stammering.
Julia immediately drew her sword and pointed it at Mr. Freeman as she asked, “Is this true, Mr. Freeman?”
“I-I-I-I… This was… Meant…” Freeman started speaking nonsense as soon as he looked at Julia’s sword.
“Over a hundred of my soldiers have been turned into your daughter’s fucking dinner. I called the Chief Commander from the white side, and you are fucking lying to us this whole time ? I am so angry at this moment that I can stab this sword through your heart and get it out through your brain, Mr. Freeman. So, either you speak the entire truth in the next three seconds, or I will kill you first, and then kill the thing that’s inside that room,” Julia shouted as she touched her sword’s tip to Mr. Freeman’s throat.
“Okay, I will tell you everything. Please remove the sword.” Freeman spoke up.
