Chapter 53: The Beast

Kurapika walked around the two of them and turned her gun to the guards in the back.

"I don't know."

"I don't know."

"I haven't heard of it."

The chains didn't respond, and Kurapika turned her gun back and asked very calmly, "Are you on Prince Wabur's side?" ”

"It's not...... This one. ", said the tall guard.

"Yes...... yes, neither am I. The fat guard was covered in sweat, and after some struggle, he still didn't dare to lie to Kurapika after all.

"Shoot!! Shoot these two right now!! Oyt shook hysterically.

"Wait, please wait!! Let us explain why. The two raised their hands to show that they were not hostile.

"Princess Oyit, calm down, please listen carefully, in order for you to live, the information on them is very important, and it is not too late to shoot them if they refuse." Kurapika looked at the two of them and asked, "The five people who died are not from Prince Wabur's side either, are they?" ”

"That's right, we all follow the instructions of the others." , said the tall guard.

"Individually? What do you mean? ”

"The royal family has assigned 7 guards to Prince Wable, why do you think it will be 7 people?"

Is this the number of princesses (other than Princess Oyit)?

"That's right, all the princesses have sent guards to keep an eye on them! Monitor the princesses and princes who are in the lower position for any rebellion attempts, and whenever the number of wives increases, the number of guards will also increase, but the lower princess is not allowed to monitor the princesses and princes in the upper position. The resulting mechanism is that the lower princess can finally get a guard who is truly subordinate to him only when the lower princess appears, and Princess Oyit has no chance to be explained because she is in the last place, and she has not even understood the mechanism itself. ", explained the tall guard.

"Protecting the personal safety of Prince Wabur is also part of the mission, but in the final analysis, it is not a threat to the safety of the client and his prince." , said the fat guard.

"Got it! The situation has completely changed under the War of Succession, and the existence of other princes has become a threat in itself, so ......"

"Have you received an order from your client to assassinate Prince Wable?" , Kurapika asked.

"No, no, no, no!! If such an order were given, even the princess would have to go to prison. ", the fat guard said hurriedly.

"It's not that there is no legal constraint when the inheritance war begins." , said the tall guard.

"Didn't King Kakin give permission to fight?" , Kurapika asked.

"The problem is that it doesn't say that you can be exonerated or pardoned after killing the prince, so we are still half-convinced until the dead actually appear." The tall guard said, "I also wondered if this would be a rough treatment just to improve the murderous state between the princes and princesses, after all, after actually planning the assassination plan, I can understand the high difficulty and risk, I think maybe the purpose of the succession war is to let the princes really understand this." Killing the prince is a felony, so no matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem realistic, but after seeing the corpses and listening to the situation, my mind has changed, and the succession war has begun, but the executor is not us, nor the private mercenaries, but the prince himself. ”

"How could it be...... What are you talking about!? Oyt asked incredulously.

"The prince has already undergone the ritual of eggs in the pot, hasn't he?" There is no doubt that it is the ceremony of conferring the power of mind. ", said the fat guard.

"That kind of thing!! It's just rumors. Oyt was very emotional.

"Calm down, if what you have just said is true, then it is most reasonable to speculate that the young Prince Wable's telekinesis would be based on his instincts for self-defense." "Therefore, it is likely that the prince will take the princess's uneasy mood as if he is in danger and will automatically attack these people who make the princess feel uneasy, so please calm down as much as possible." ”

Oyt froze, then exhaled deeply, trying to calm himself.

"Based on what we know, that's a strong statement, but as it stands, it's impossible to tell whether the attack is an enemy or a friend. It may be that Prince Wabur sensed the murderous intent of the guards who were preparing to commit crimes to steal the merit alone in order to defend himself, or it could be that the other princes targeted the weak prince and started with the people around him. And I also have doubts about the process of attaining the recitation, which is supposed to take a long time to cultivate......", Kurapika looked at the princess and asked, "When was that ceremony held?" ”

"Well...... More than a month ago. Oyt knew that she couldn't deny the situation at this point, so she simply told Kurapika the truth.

"Indeed, if the time from attaining the recitation to the present is too short according to this theory, this is not something that a person who has learned to read can do." , said one of the guards.

"No, if it's parasitic, it's not impossible." , said the other guard.

"Parasitic?" , Kurapika asked, confused.

"Yes, that way and the description of the ceremony can also be matched."

Just then, Kurapika felt a chill at his side again, and he turned his head to take a closer look, only to see a one-eyed monster attached to the head of the tall guard.

"Everybody...... Can you see it? ”

The few people who were not suspicious who were originally discussing together also discovered what happened to the two of them, and they all entered a posture of vigilance.

"Calm down, it's not clear what these things will react to." Kurapika was worried that they were acting irrationally under high pressure, and immediately stopped him.

"You ...... Can't see it? Is it really invisible? ", asked a guard who had mastered telekinesis.

"What! What do you mean? ”

"Speak clearly! Anything about it? Kurapika asked.

"Saw anything, didn't see anything strange!! What is it? Oyt asked, confused.

"That's fine, please step back behind me." , Kurapika said.

"Hey!!"

"It's really fake!!"

At this time, several strange animals also came in from outside the wall, different from the one-eyed goblin that would wake up just now, there were teddy bear-like ones, jellyfish-like ones, and even dragon-shaped monsters.

"Are you free?" , the teddy bear asked.

Kurapika immediately picked up the phone in the room, "Urgent notice!" Now I use all public channels!! I'm a member of the association Kurapika!! A large number of unknown mindful beasts have appeared in Area 14!! Please let us know about each area! What about melody? ”
