Chapter 107: 106, Only Killing Women 1



Wu Heng looked up at him, and gasped in his heart.

From where he’d been sitting earlier, he merely thought the beastman was bulky. Now that he stood up, he was like a small mountain standing in front of him.

Only second to the carrion giant demon belonging to the Necromancer, ‘Scapegoat1.

“Sit!” said Wu Heng.

“Oh!” The beastman sat down again, laughed and said, “Captain, my name is Duke, I am a beast warrior.”

Wu Heng went around him and sat down.

“Hmm, my name is Wu Heng, you can call me by my name or captain either.”

“Alright, Captain Wu Heng.” The beastman glanced at the figures standing next to him, and asked, “Captain, are these two also members of our team?”

He was talking about Basen and Bawudong who came in with him.

Wu Heng replied: “My profession is a Necromancer. These two are my undead attendants, you can consider them as members of the squad, but they don’t occupy any member slots.”

Basen and Bawudong, both have souls.

There isn’t much difference compared to normal team members, and they are absolutely loyal.

In the future, they will also follow the squad on assignments, so it’s completely fine to call them members of the squad.

Moreover, the first day he brought four skeletons over, and today he brought two.

No one in the entire association interferes or asks about the undead attendants.

That is to say, ‘Lundham City’ doesn’t really pay any attention to Necromancers, with no specific demands.

On this point, he made the right choice.

This also proves that ‘Yazde’ carefully picked this location for him.

“Captain is a mage, huh.” said the beastman, and then continued to ask, “Are we the only ones in the squad?”

“For now, there’s just the two of us. More will join in the future, till the team is completely filled.” Wu Heng answered, took out Duke’s file and gave it a glance.

Duke, a beastman by race.

His occupation is a level 5 Beast Warrior, and his preferred weapon is a battle axe.

The reason for joining was that he had assisted in arresting bandits twice and had a decent combat talent, after being recommended by the vice-executive, he joined.

He lives in the lower town area and is a local.

The information was pretty detailed, having this local person was good actually. In future missions, at least they would be able to find their way.

“How old are you?” Wu Heng asked.

“14.”

Wu Heng gave him another look, only to conclude the growth rate of beastmen is quite fast.

After having acquainted with each other, their chat became more casual.

Wu Heng asked about some local situations.

The beastman, however, was more interested in the profession of being a Necromancer.

From time to time, he glanced at the two skeletons standing beside him.

The round helm, and the strange weapon hanging in front of the skeletons.

According to Duke, Lundham City is filled with all kinds, many of them are of special professions.

But usually they are all quite low-key, he only heard about some of them and never got the chance to meet.

After chatting for a while, a knock was heard on the door.

“Come in.”

The door opened, a staff member walked in, looked at the two and asked, “Which one of you is Team Leader Wu Heng?”

“lam!”

“The executive requests your presence.”

“Oh, okay!” Wu Heng rose and followed him out.

Finding himself in the executive’s office again.

The executive handed him a mission form and said, “There’s been a death at the ‘Wind Drooping Grass Tavern’ in the Outer City Area. You guys go check it out and assist in the investigation.”

In the morning, it was mentioned that a task would be assigned to them to get them acclimated to this place.

A task was assigned so quickly.

“Alright.”

Wu Heng nodded, went back to the common room, called ‘Duke’ and directly headed to the Outer City Area.

The responsibilities of teams in Lundham City and Black Stone Town are somewhat different.

There is no talk about assisting the guards in capturing criminals, the main duties are just two fold.

One is to capture the wanted criminals issued by the association, they are criminals who committed crimes in their own city and fled here. No one cares if they are not on the wanted list. But once they are listed, they will be arrested, and rewards and merits are given accordingly.

The second is to ensure the safety of the guild members, as well as their rescue.

This applies mostly to important members, and it depends on their status.

Generally, it concerns individuals with identity, who are given special attention by the guild.

The guild rarely bothers about most ordinary members, as it doesn’t have that many resources.

Wu Heng and Duke left the guild.

They headed for the Outer City Area.

The whole city is divided into three structures.

The Inner City Area, the Outer City Area, and the area outside the city.

The Inner City Area is the safest, inhabited by local tycoons and nobles, as well as organizational buildings such as the City Lord’s Mansion, the Professionals Guild, and Snake Badge Consortium.

The Iron Guard Knights, directly reporting to the City Lord, are responsible for order and security.

Their job is to keep the city’s security.

The Outer City Area is home to many shops and entertainment industries, managed by various gangs.

The area outside the city is a conglomeration of shops, factories, and residential areas. It’s chaotic, crowded and is also managed by gangs.

The entire city, although chaotic, still has its own unique rules.

Wu Heng is not too familiar with this place, but Duke, being a local, took him directly to the tavern.

At this time, the tavern is not yet open for business, and some people are cleaning it.

“Customers, we are not open yet.” Agreen-skinned female Beastman sways her waist and comes over.

“We are from the Professionals Guild. Did you request assistance from the guild?” Wu Heng asked directly.

The female Beastman glanced at the two of them, lost the smile she usually had for customers, and said, “Show me your emblem!”

Wu Heng took out the Team Leader Emblem, showed it to her, and after confirming that they were from the guild, she said, “We do need your help. Follow me!”

They went through the hall and entered a room that seemed to be underground.

In a corner, two bodies were covered with a shroud.

The female Beastman looked very upset and said, “Someone posed as a guest, lured our girls out, and brutally killed them. We haven’t been able to find out the identity of the killer. See if you can find any leads.”

A murder case?

“Do you have any clues?”

“Given the situation here, as you should know, we have a huge influx of clientele, and it’s a mess. There have been many deaths before, but this time only girls have been targeted, which is making everyone panic,” says the female Beastman.

Wu Heng nodded and said, “I need to communicate with the dead. Do you have any taboos?”

“Huh?” The female Beastman was dumbfounded, “Not at all, as long as you can catch the murderer.”

Wu Heng nodded and cast [Communicate with the dead] on one of the bodies.

The body suddenly sat up, the shroud fell off, revealing a face as pale as if the blood had been drained from it.

There was a wound on her neck where the flesh had turned inside out.

Wu Heng asked directly, “Who killed you?”

“It was a man. I didn’t know him.”

“Was there only one?”

“Just one.”

“What features did the murderer have?”

“A human, quite thin, wore a brown leather armor, always carrying a yellow bag on his back.”

Wu Heng looked at the female Beastman beside him; she shook her head, indicating she didn’t remember anything like this.

Wu Heng continued, “What did he say to you?”

“He said he would take me to an alley, promising me double the money.”

“Did he kill you right away, or after the transaction was completed?”

“He killed me right away.”

After finishing speaking, with a thud, she lay back on the ground.

Wu Heng continued to communicate with the second corpse. There was also a wound on her neck. Her answers were not much different.

It can be confirmed that it was a thin human man.

His purpose was to kill, not to relax.

After questioning the corpses, they didn’t get any particularly useful information.

The female Beastman looked even more worried. Not only were the women here in danger, she also feared for her own safety.

Moreover, the business here couldn’t stop.

“What should we do next?”

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Wu Heng said, “We will come back tonight and see if we can find the murderer.”
