After the crunch, the voice in Jason's head was completely still.

There was no screaming.

There was no resistance.

What you have is delicious.

The crust is crispy like a sugar pancake, and then the filling inside comes out like salty cream.

In the mouth, it is first crispy and then sticky.

And at this moment, when the viscous salted cream wraps the crispy skin in reverse, it immediately has a different texture.

It's a 1+1>2 feeling.

Not to mention that there is a hint of coolness in the most central position.

It's like a fine piece of ice.

But savoring it is more like ice cream.

The skin is crispy and greasy, and although the salted cream with the sandwich neutralizes some of the grease, there is still a trace of it, and this residual trace of grease is mixed with the viscous taste, which is more and more prominent.

But with the appearance of this hint of coolness, this abrupt part disappeared invisibly.

Everything was perfect!

What's more, the taste of the two layers is the right layer.

The crunching, crunching of the chewing room made Jason squint pleasantly.

【Devouring the Core of Bewitchment (Broken)】

[Stamina, energy, and injuries have been greatly recovered!] 】

【Satiety +35】

[Satiety: 263]

……

The text came as promised.

"The Core of Bewitchment?"

Jason looked at the name for a moment.

He thought there would be prefixes or descriptions like 'memory' and 'burn', but all he had was 'bewitched'.

"Everything is deception?"

Jason thought, then, shaking his head.

A clever lie is nothing more than nine truths and one falsehood.

Judging from the importance that the 'Iron Flag Martial Arts' saw at that time to this 'secret technique', the other party is indeed a secret technique, at least in the eyes of the 'Iron Flag Martial Arts', it is a secret technique.

So what if the 'Iron Flag Martial Arts Hall' was wrong from the beginning?

What if it was all fake from the beginning?

There is no such thing as nine truths and one falsehood!

It's completely ten false and zero true!

I'm making it up for you!

Jason, who has been made up by the invisible brain several times, naturally thought of this.

Then, a question arose.

How did the so-called 'core of bewitchment' come about?

Is it made by people?

Or is it a 'natural' product?

Or is it from ...... Where are they?

Those places, which are both independent of the whole world and integrated into some part of the world, have some existence that is difficult to describe in words, difficult to see, but if you find the right 'method', they will whisper in your ear from time to time.

In the previous dungeon world, there was such a 'weirdness'.

Will the dungeon world in front of you be an exception?

The answer is, most likely, not.

Then, Jason's attention was focused on the description of 'mutilated' in [Bewitching Core (Mutilation)].

Why is it 'mutilated'?

According to his experience of 'cooking food', such 'mutilation' can only occur in one situation: fighting!

This is only described as 'mutilated' after some 'food' has been damaged in battle.

With this as a point, the approximate process came to Jason's mind-

'In a long time, a certain martial artist in the Iron Banner Martial Arts Gym encountered the body of the [Bewitching Core], fought, and then obtained the [Bewitching Core (Disabled)], and then was 'bewitched' by the [Bewitching Core (Disabled)] Some surprising things happened, and was misunderstood by the people at the time, and that martial artist 'woke up' at the last moment of his life and sealed the [Bewitching Core (Disabled)], but maybe his life came to an end, and his mind was also affected by [Bewitching Core (Mutilated)], The words have become less clear, or the later generations have 'misunderstood', which has caused the current situation. ’

Of course, this is just Jason's speculation.

Most likely, there are other things.

But, that's not Jason's concern.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Core of Bewitchment (Mutilated) was delicious enough, he wouldn't have thought about it at all.

Of course, the more important point is whether there is more 'food' similar to the [Bewitching Core].

If there is one, there are two.

That's what Jason thinks.

Since there is a [Bewitching Core], there should be a second.

Although the 'Martial Arts Alliance' has been destroyed, Jason believes that there should be a similar organization in Area F.

And if none of these are available?

Don't forget, the biggest force in the world in front of you: the Hundred Great Families.

Other organizations may not have it anymore.

But as the masters of this world, the Hundred Great Families must have something similar.

Thinking of this, Jason began to quickly clean up the battlefield.

Nothing noteworthy.

The Hearts Digger's apartment is very similar to the one he lives in.

Except for the necessary daily necessities, there are almost no utensils for pleasure, and he is completely in the posture of an 'ascetic'.

"If it weren't for the accident, Todd would have been a real martial artist, right?"

Jason thought so, stepping upstairs.

Jason has sympathy for what happened to the 'Heart-Digger'.

A person who is treated as a 'pawn' but does not know it, and thinks that he has everything, is worthy of sympathy.

What betrayal? What revenge?

Jason watched this kind of drama not long ago.

On the body of the 'Golden Lamb' Kalun.

'Heart-Digger' Todd?

It's just a little more subtle.

In other words, the means are more sophisticated.

moreover

Unnoticed by the 'mastermind behind the scenes'.

Otherwise, how could an alliance that has existed for a very long time and has close relations turn the spearhead and attack its own people if no one provokes it?

How could there be one of the most powerful 'Avengers' left behind?

Normal people don't do that.

It could only be that someone arranged.

Let everything seem 'coincidence' and become 'reasonable'.

While not 100% sure, Jason is at least 60% sure that what happened to 'Heartdigger' Todd has to do with one of the several control families in Area F.

As for which one?

Jason doesn't know for the time being.

Trample!

Suddenly, Jason paused.

'Golden Lamb' Karen is like that.

Todd the 'Heart-Digger' is like that.

Could it be the same for the 'behind-the-scenes arrangers'?

A guy who 'recognized' the 'screening plan' of several control families in Area F and began to take revenge frantically?

It's possible!

However, it is not easy to get out of the 'abuser's identity!

Not to mention the layout after breaking away from the identity of the 'abuser'.

Because, according to the rules of the 'game', if you want to get out of the 'game' as a 'madman', you can only win the championship of the 'game' finals!

Moreover, even if you win the 'championship' and are out of the 'game', you still need to be closely supervised in real life.

Therefore, it is very difficult!

So......

'Survivors'!

Jason's eyes narrowed slightly.

Compared to the 'abuser', the 'escapee' is much more forgiving.

Even if you show a frightening side in the 'game', you will be forgiven generously.

After all, it's just a 'game', isn't it?

Of course, there is another possibility!

Relatives of the 'abusers'!

An innocent person who was framed as a 'madman' died in the 'game', and as a relative, he avenged his loved ones, thus launching a series of actions.

Compared with the first two guesses, the third Jason is more recognized.

But what exactly?

Jason didn't jump to conclusions.

Everything depends on the subsequent development.

More information, he believes, will come soon.

In fact, the information came out faster than Jason expected.

The top floor of the 'Game Building', the conference hall.

Jason sees the bodies of Donna and Witters.

The two represent the 'Hera family' and the 'Emel family' respectively, which Jason knows, and in some previous relevant information introductions, some basic information about the two is public.

However, compared with the well-dressed public information, the two of them at this moment are no different from ordinary people.

To be dead is to be dead.

Moreover, it is becoming more and more embarrassing.

Especially Donna!

In the information photo, the other party is a graceful lady, even if it is a photo, it can show the beauty and elegance of the other party.

Although more often than not, the other side will wear a veil.

Witters, on the other hand, has always had a reputation for reliability.

The other party's strong body and taverish personality make people willing to believe each other.

It's a pity that now it is scarred and has long lost the breath of life.

And Rodney, who was supposed to be here, the old man was no longer here.

Undoubtedly, the other party should be the 'collaborator' of the 'behind-the-scenes layout'.

At least, that's what Rodney thinks.

But actually?

It's still a pawn.

It's nothing more than a little higher in rank.

And the result?

Nature is already predestined.

Lothar 11 is not a fool and naturally knows what to do.

Jason's gaze swept across the conference hall at the top of the building, and then landed on the body of Ms. Donna again.

It's not because the other party has no head.

It's not because the other party is a lady.

It's because the other party has a faint smell of 'food' that is about to overflow.

Moreover, this 'food' aura was exactly the same as the residual 'food' aura of the uninvited guest he had seen before.

At the same time, there is no one on Wittus!

Immediately, Jason examined the bodies of Donna and Witters.

With a perception that was seven times more normal than normal, and based on the viscosity of the blood, Jason easily judged that Donna died earlier than Witters.

Donna was the first to die.

Witters then died.

Rodney was used as a pawn to shoot at Lothar 11, and it was almost certain that he would die, even with certain means.

And among them, Donna should have had close contact with the 'behind-the-scenes layout'.

"Interesting!"

Jason's narrowed eyes flashed with a strange light.

A hint of speculation crossed his mind.

And at this time-

"Your Excellency Jason? Can you hear me, Mr. Jason? ”

The voice of Lothar 11 echoed in the room.

The sound came from some hidden speaker, and Jason looked up, his gaze locked on.

Such an obvious action relieved Lothar 11, who was looking at everything through the monitor.

Then, the eleventh heir of the House of Lothar began to speak in as calm a tone as possible.

"Thank you, Lord Jason, for all that you have done for me, and what I promised, will work."

"Also, the Family Guard is about to arrive at the 'Game Building.'"

"Please return to the 'Abuster's Apartment' where you are."

"Thank you again for everything you have done for me."

After saying this, Lothar 11 turned off the speakers.

However, his eyes were still on Jason.

Although it was not a direct gaze, Jason still felt something.

He quietly glanced at the surveillance probe, and then, walking to the window of the conference hall, looked down.

At night, the whole city is not plunged into darkness.

Colorful neon separates beautifully.

The traffic shuttles endlessly, bringing up a light strip like a Ambilight.

This was the first time Jason had looked at the dungeon world in front of him, outside of the 'game'.

Very nice night view!

Jason commented from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, I also have an accurate understanding of the scientific and technological level of the dungeon world in front of me.

to go beyond the copy world he had experienced before,

At least, the car here can hover out of thin air.

Of course, a convoy coming from a distance made Jason realize the level of technology here.

Armored casing, huge muzzle, spiral like an electric ring.

This is the family guard in the mouth of Lothar 11.

Seeing this, Jason turned around and left.

The reminder of Lothar 11 is obvious.

The other person doesn't want to make any irrational moves.

This is the superficial meaning.

Secretly?

It is to tell him that the other party has learned the next step of the 'behind-the-scenes layout'.

Signal that he doesn't need to worry.

It's safe to return.

Jason didn't have any objection to this, and turned and walked to the stairs.

With the main quest unchanged, his identity as a 'madman' will not change, not given by others, but by his own will.

If he wants it, he will approve of it.

What he does not want, no one can impose on him.

Even if there is no power to resist at the moment.

He will also silently continue to strengthen, waiting for a counterattack.

This is true in the 'City That Never Sleeps'.

Here, too.

Involuntarily, Jason glanced at his main quest.

The same is true for the 'notebook'.

Silently, Jason added in his heart.

On the 4th floor, in the 'contact' apartment, Lothar 11 looked at Jason who walked down the stairs without any abnormal or excessive behavior, and the eleventh heir of the Lothar family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As for Lothar 11, he didn't want his friends who had just 'fought side by side' to meet each other directly at this moment.

Moreover, it is still a sword meeting with no chance of winning.

He knew the strength of his family's guard.

And the methods of his father, eldest brother, and other brothers and sisters, he knows better.

Jason didn't have the slightest chance of winning.

Thankfully, Jason didn't make a mistake.

I also understood his hidden meaning.

After noticing Jason's unwavering eyes, Lothar 11 was sure that Jason understood what he was implicating.

Do big guys have great wisdom?

Lothar11 looked at Jason, who was slowly returning, and couldn't help but think.

And at this moment-

Jingle bells!

Lothar 11's communicator rang.

Looking at the series of ※ on the communicator, Lothar11 breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Here it comes!

This call, Lothar 11 had anticipated.

Although I haven't seen the 'behind-the-scenes layout', but the other party has arranged such a big game and wants to harvest his life, so at the last moment, how can you not listen to his 'despair'?

Especially, despair after seeing hope?

I'm afraid the other party can't wait, right?

Thinking in his heart, Lothar 11 had a look of surprise on his face.

When the phone rang three more times, he picked it up.

"Hello?"
