Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 47: Under Investigation

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Under Investigation

When Morgan opened his eyes, he was met with Gong Qiying’s gaze.

"Ah, ah..."

He opened his mouth, producing a strange sound as if his throat was clenched, his hands flailing towards the other party. But when he attempted to rush forward, he was pulled back by the chain around his neck; Gong Qiying had just locked him with the chain again.

"Interesting, you came towards me instead of thinking about running away,"

Typically, when a normal person wakes up to see a Horror Monster standing beside them, there are two possible reactions: either they are too terrified to move and run away immediately, or they pick up a weapon to fight.

And Morgan... appeared to belong to the latter???

His face was full of deep disgust for the Monster, making menacing gestures at Gong Qiying, his hair almost exploding, constantly panting.

A tribute to the Legendary Hajimi.

This behavior didn’t quite match his appearance, as he looked exactly like someone who could run.

Gong Qiying lifted a finger and pressed him to the ground, immobilizing him and feeling rather bland.

He found Morgan to be stupid.

Exaggerated as his actions were, his eyes were full of Chaos, showing his stupidity—his words couldn’t even form a coherent sentence, fitting perfectly if thrown into an asylum.

Clearly, his mind had been affected in some way, becoming incomplete.

Was this the cost of transforming into a Demon Clan member?

Gong Qiying pondered, but if the cost was so high, why would anyone transform into a Demon Clan member; the gains did not match the losses.

Typically, there is a logical explanation—Morgan and others were being controlled by Black Hand behind the scenes.

Someone was turning humans into Demon Clan members and putting them in the Dungeon for some obscure purposes! That was the conclusion he reached.

This wasn’t just speculation, as he noticed the same branding on the necks of both Yayi and Morgan—a brand that looked like a winding serpent, adorned with curved entities, were they horns or tentacles?

Gong Qiying recorded the pattern of the branding; it might be a mark of some organization.

Why do these organizations always like to mark their bodies, as if afraid others wouldn’t recognize them?

Just as Gong Qiying was about to create a cell and throw the two idiots in, something sudden happened!

"Yah yah—"

In a blink, Morgan and Yayi swelled up to nearly multiple times their original size; their skin stretched to transparency, even the internal organs were visible.

As Gong Qiying realized this and promptly shielded himself with stone-like wings, they exploded.

"Anti-Dungeon! Destroy the Dungeon!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The massive body of the Heroic Stone Statue Ghost was blown back a step, filth scattering everywhere.

Fortunately, after withstanding the explosion, the transformation time of the Stone Statue Ghost was up.

Gong Qiying (in the form of Heroic Stone Statue Ghost) "reverted" to Gong Qiying (in the form of Gedwin).

"Destroy the Dungeon..."

He kicked a random skull on the ground, saying, "With you?"

Morgan’s last words irritated Gong Qiying greatly—despite having felt a bit of pity for them before, now all that was left was indifference.

The goal of this organization is Anti-Dungeon, he tentatively concluded that there’s an evil organization behind Morgan and others with the goal of destroying the Dungeon!

But how would they destroy the Dungeon?

As long as there is spiritual power, even if they kill Monsters or damage the scene, it can be restored.

Soon, Gong Qiying noticed a clue.

After Morgan died...

The spiritual power of the Dungeon hadn’t changed.

"..."

He fell silent for a moment.

Spiritual power is the foundation of the Dungeon’s operation; if each person entering the Dungeon does not unleash their spiritual power upon death, then indeed, the Dungeon would slowly fade away.

No matter how Morgan and the people behind him managed to do this, it was indeed a correct idea, a thought that could destroy the Dungeon.

"I can’t rest easy until I find and eliminate them,"

The existence of the Anti-Dungeon Organization can no longer be tolerated, they must all be sent to Morgan.

"But first, we need to consider how to root out the Black Hand behind the scenes,"

Gong Qiying felt that this matter should be dealt with in the outside world, as information was too isolated in the Dungeon.

At this moment, he suddenly felt his body in the outside world being touched.

With a thought, his consciousness shifted there.

"What’s happening?" he rubbed his eyes and yawned, feigning just having woken up.

It was the workers who were renovating who pushed him, and one of them, seeing him awake, was brimming with excitement and said:

"Sir, something big has happened outside!"

"What?" Gong Qiying could guess what it was.

"It’s the Demon Clan!"

Another person explained excitedly, "They say it’s so big, covered in bizarre shapes, very scary, lucky they were all beaten badly!"

"Stick to the main point," an older worker said, "We only heard it from others, it seems a few demons were suddenly thrown out of Sain Dungeon, even knocking out the Bed Family’s young master, and now the whole city is under martial law!"

"Demon Clan?" Gong Qiying feigned "surprise," "How could there possibly be demons here?"

The workers looked at each other and said, "We were shocked too, I’ve lived so long and never seen a live demon, it seems they are now being escorted to the dungeon, and will pass through our street, so we thought..."

Gong Qiying understood, waved his hand and said, "Go, go look, take it as a half-day rest,"

"Hehe, thank you, boss!"

The workers hurried off, and Gong Qiying followed, seeing the demons half-dead in cages, still not in human form, their strange appearances drawing a large crowd.

People here had only seen depictions of demons drawn by artists in newspapers and novels; seeing the real thing was a first, and far more frightening than the illustrations.

"One is missing," Gong Qiying noticed that the count was wrong, one of the demons was missing.

Escaped? Impossible. How could it escape under so many watchful eyes, and with serious injuries at that.

Perhaps it was taken away by the guards, but why isn’t it with the rest of the demons.

The cart carrying the demons entered the dungeon, with people strongly crowding behind to watch until they could no longer see any trace before reluctantly leaving.

The workers greeted him and went to eat, leaving Gong Qiying alone to return to his shop.

However, two guards were standing in front of his shop.

"What are you doing?" Gong Qiying frowned and approached to ask.

"Are you Madar?" one guard asked.

"That’s me, what’s the matter?"

He used the alias Madar fearing that in this world there could be magic that curses or tracks people based on their names, better to be cautious.

"Do you know Tamuda?" the guard took out a portrait, the strokes were abstract, but the features recognizable.

Is it him?

Gong Qiying recognized the person, because it was this man who had subleased the shop to him.

"He is a member of the Anti-Dungeon Organization, the City Lord has issued a warrant for everyone from this organization,"

"Please come with us for an investigation."
