The sprouts that had grown from Taniel's face writhed unconsciously.

However, when Jason looked at Taniel, the sprouts instantly became sharp and straight, like arrows from a string.

Whoosh!

Dense granulations rushed to his face, but Jason reacted in an instant, taking a step out with his right foot.

Not only did he dodge the flesh, but the back of the broad-bladed short-handled machete in his hand was drawn against Taniel's neck.

Syllable!

There was a crunch.

Tanier's eyes rolled and he fell to the ground.

The falling flesh sprouts writhed rapidly, looking like maggots.

Then, at a rate visible to the naked eye, they withered.

But Tanier, who should have fainted to the ground, staggered to his feet.

He tugged at his chin with one hand and his tongue with the other.

Next, put your hands on the force.

Immediately, Tanier's face was purple, and his temples were bruised.

“sI oT Yn！”

“'i！”

In a deep reluctance, Jason raised his hand and pointed at Taniel.

An invisible [Evil Protection] force field instantly enveloped Tanir.

Taniel, who was tearing his tongue with all his might, shuddered and collapsed to the ground.

After about a dozen seconds, Taniel gradually came to his senses.

He looked at Jason, who was standing.

He looked at himself lying on the ground again.

Feel the numbness on your tongue and the pain in your jaw.

The young teacher of the Deer Academy couldn't help but ask:

"Am I infected and controlled by something again?"

"Hmm."

Jason nodded, carefully controlling the distance between the two sides.

In fact, Jason hadn't really come into contact with Tanier since he was just starting out.

Because, Jason is not sure if there are any other channels of transmission for those 'granules'.

He didn't want a maggot on his face.

Taniel, who didn't notice Jason's movements, skillfully took out several potions to relieve and treat the pain.

However, when he applied the potion to his chin, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"My skin seems to be smoother!"

"The dirt in the pores is gone!"

"But ......"

"Why do pores get bigger?"

Tanier, who had found a small mirror from the backpack on the other side of his waist, shouted to Jason after carefully observing himself in the westward sunlight.

"You really can't remember anything?"

Jason asked.

"I got that tongue in my face and ......"

Taniel's face changed as he spoke.

Obviously, he remembered.

"I guess I'm infected by something on that tongue."

"Maggots grew on my face."

"They shoot like arrows."

"The infected person then pulls out their tongue on their own and uses it as the source of the next infection."

"Or, those maggots are also a source of infection."

"Maggots, faces...... Vomit! ”

Taniel, who was talking to himself, couldn't hold back any longer, and just bent over and vomited.

Jason's gaze was on Pea Street again.

He could already guess what was going on Pea Street.

According to what happened to Taniel, it is impossible for ordinary people in Pea Street to survive.

Those arrows like 'flesh buds', ordinary people can't dodge them at all.

As for Sir Beta?

When such a thing happened, the old Sir still 'ignored it', and presumably the situation was not good.

Of course, what's more important is –

Will this situation spread?

If only it was on Pea Street it would be fine.

If it goes beyond the confines of Pea Street, it spreads to the whole of Lord......

Thinking of this, Jason's heart couldn't help but sink.

You know, he's going to be in Lord for at least one more day.

This proliferation must be stopped!

In an instant, Jason made up his mind to pay attention.

At this time, Bundy, who was notified by Finch, finally arrived with someone.

Two teams of twenty people, with two flatbed wagons.

Boxes of explosives were neatly stacked on top.

"How?"

Bundy ran up to Jason and asked.

Jason, who had consumed too much physical strength by using [Evil Protection], didn't say much, and after pointing at Tanier, he let Bundy ask, and he took a big gulp of the spicy 'holy water'.

A hot sensation rose from his stomach, and Jason was in good spirits.

"The spicy one is better than the normal effect?"

Jason was surprised by the difference.

Bundy walked over with a sinking face.

"You can't let this stuff spread!"

The sheriff said categorically.

Then, pointing to the two flatbed carriages, he asked:

"Are these bombs enough?"

"If it's not enough, I'll mobilize some more."

Obviously, after working with Jason several times, Bundy already knew a truth -

In the face of 'weird' and 'mysterious', there is nothing that a bomb can't solve!

If it doesn't work......

That is, there are not enough bombs!

"Bring in some more."

"And kerosene."

"The previous artillery is also better transferred."

Jason said.

"Leave it to me."

Bundy immediately turned around and prepared to gather the bombs, kerosene, and artillery he needed.

However, there was no waiting for the sheriff to leave in the real sense.

A team suddenly appeared on both sides of the street, completely sealing off the street and Pea Street.

Each of the team was sturdy, tall, and strong, wearing uniform black leather armor, soft leather trousers, long swords or daggers and revolvers, and rifles of various styles in their hands.

Rifles were stuck with bayonets, and as the line advanced, the cold glow shone in the setting sun.

Step, step!

The uniform pace brings a lot of pressure.

Finch and the other detectives and police officers couldn't help but raise the gun in their hands.

"Don't move!"

Bundy shouted.

Then, run straight to the team.

Is it the army?

Jason guessed uncertainly.

Although this team looks like an army, the rationing of weapons is uneven, and it is fundamentally different from a uniform army.

"It's the 'mercenary' of the special adviser to the Mayor!"

Taniel whispered.

On 'Mercenary', Tanir accentuated the pronunciation.

Mercenaries?

The Special Adviser also has 'mercenaries'?

Doubts flashed in Jason's eyes.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a black coat and gray pants had already walked over with Bundy.

With a smile, he took off his hat, put it on his chest, and saluted Jason.

"Thank you, Lord Jason, for all you have done for Lord."

"But leave the rest to us."

"After all......"

"We are the experts in dealing with the 'Secret Society'!"

The other party said, without waiting for Jason's answer, and waved at the mercenary behind him.

Immediately, the mercenaries rushed into Pea Street in a neat procession.

Jason frowned as he looked at the mercenary army that rushed into Pea Street, but his mind was heading towards the term that the other party had just mentioned:

The Secret Society!

Meanwhile, Jason notices that Taniel is pale.

"It's the Secret Order!"

"Jason, why don't we go to another city for a vacation first?"

"I've covered the travel expenses, food and lodging!"

Taniel spoke very quickly.

It's clear that Taniel knows something.

So much so that I was scared.

However, Jason didn't ask.

Because, according to his identity as a 'night watchman', he should also know about this organization.

Even though Taniel is a fool most of the time, Jason would never risk asking.

The devil is in the details.

Taniel is a fool.

But others are not.

Jason's gaze swept to the shadows around him.

Quite a few people gathered in it.

Jason can be sure that these people are all mysterious people from last night's rally.

He could already smell the food he had bought before among these people.

"Because of the strangeness of Pea Street, did everyone gather?"

"Wait?"

"Everyone?"

"Something is wrong!"

The scene in front of him inexplicably reminded Jason of the 'Moon Mask' club, which had been laid out and attracted many mysterious people.

Could it be......

Subconscious, bad associations appeared in Jason's mind.

"Run!"

Without hesitation, Jason shouted, turned and ran.
