Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Little Hero Leaps

Bed City, City Defense Soldier Station, prison.

"Elsa, how do you feel, is he from the Pure Demon Clan?"

After a long absence, the third young master of the Bed Family, Sali, and Hero Elsa grandly enter the scene!

They are in the most heavily guarded prison, where a young man is tightly bound to a cross, continuously healed by the gentle Holy Light, yet at the same time, it suppresses his mutations.

If Steeran had learned the Shadow Clone and could appear both in the Sain Dungeon and here, he would definitely recognize that the person tied to the cross is Yaer, another follower of Morgan.

This classic trio setup is ever-present. With Morgan and Yayi, it’s not surprising to find a Yaer among these Demon Clan members.

Hero Elsa circled around Yaer, showing a shark-like ferocity at one moment, then a look of confusion the next.

Sali was a bit puzzled by the situation.

Due to her childhood experiences, Elsa possessed a keen perception of the Demon Clan; she could detect the presence of demons or monsters immediately.

But what does her current indecisive attitude mean?

"This person, it seems like he is, yet he seems like he isn’t," Elsa pinched her nose and distanced herself from Yaer. In her eyes, the Demon Clan is like shit, and Yaer smells like he’s covered in it, occasionally even taking the appearance of it.

To say he’s human, but he can turn into a demon, to say he’s a demon, but fundamentally he’s human.

"Even you can’t judge?" Sali leaned against the wall, his thoughts drifting to the past.

When the demons were thrown out of the dungeon, knocking unconscious his useless elder brother, the guards quickly arrived on the scene to control the situation and captured all the demons, taking them to the dungeon.

However, during the transportation, one of the demons suddenly melted, revealing the person inside—Yaer.

No one had ever seen a demon turn into a human before. The leader of the guards decided to incarcerate Yaer separately from the other demons, and thus Yaer was placed in the most securely guarded City Defense Soldier Station.

This matter was supposed to be handled by Sali’s father, Earl Philip himself, but the old man had recently personally taken a batch of Blood Healing Potions to the Royal City, leaving only the most trusted Sali to look after the house.

If the eldest son Charon was here, it would have been his job to handle this, but unfortunately, since he left, he hasn’t sent any letters home, and the Bed Family has no idea what he’s up to.

Upon receiving the news, Sali rushed here immediately, bringing Elsa along.

It’s baffling that a member of the Demon Clan turned into a human.

The identity of Yaer was quickly investigated; he was just a street thug, a punk. How did he come into contact with the demons unless there was a moment when a demon switched places with him unnoticed? But this claim was not plausible—why would a demon switch with a punk?

Thus the guards continued to trace Yaer’s social connections, finally finding a clue—

Anti-Dungeon Organization.

Yaer and his pals were all members of the Anti-Dungeon Organization.

In fact, not even peripheral members, but rather people who agreed with the ideology of the Anti-Dungeon Organization. Following this lead, they discovered that Tamuda had been in contact with them.

Tamuda is a genuine member of the Anti-Dungeon Organization, having organized two marches. Recently, when its members murdered someone in the street, which was too atrocious, the Bed Family was just preparing to deal with them.

However, the emergence of the gourmet area disrupted the plans. By the time everyone came to their senses from the temptations of the cuisine, Tamuda had already sold all his property and fled far away.

This world is just a huge farce...

After a moment of stunned silence, the investigating guards immediately began to investigate people connected to Tamuda, whether directly or indirectly, bringing anyone who had contact for questioning!

"Let’s wait and see after the priests from the Holy Light Church arrive," Sali rubbed his forehead, wondering why there have been so many strange occurrences lately.

"Let’s go, Elsa," she decided to check on the interrogation by the guards.

Elsa left the interrogation room, looking back three times with every step.

She was contemplating whether to kill Yaer, yet uncertain whether he really counts as a Demon Clan...

For Elsa, when it comes to the Demon Clan, there’s no mercy!

"Keep a close watch here, don’t let anyone in," Sali instructed the guards and walked to the nearby interrogation room. Through the window, he saw a young man with black hair being questioned.

"What’s his relationship with Tamuda?" Sali asked the guard next to him.

"He rented a shop in Tamuda," the guard said, "It should just be a coincidence, no suspicion,"

Sali shook his head, "No suspicion is too small to be carefully investigated, especially when it relates to the Demon Clan. We can’t take this lightly."

"Yes!"

We must quickly ask the Magicians to perform a Demon Clan detection in Bed City, Sali thought while absentmindedly listening to the conversation in the interrogation room.

"Name,"

"Madar,"

"Race,"

"Pure human,"

"Gender,"

"..." Gong Qiying looked down and said, "Owner of a cattle,"

"What the heck," the interrogator looked at him strangely and wrote down "Male" on the paper.

"You knew I am male..."

Gong Qiying retorted, wanting to add ’how dare you assume my gender’, but then he remembered this was an otherworld and his jokes wouldn’t be understood, so he decided against it.

"How did you know about Tamuda?" the interrogator continued asking.

"I saw the rental ad in the newspaper, it’s that simple,"

"Real estate in White Whale Street is incredibly valuable, weren’t you suspicious of the low rent Tamuda was offering?"

"I am poor," Gong Qiying looked at the interrogator gloomily and said, "When a person is poor enough, he can’t afford to think about potential traps, just wants to take advantage of any opportunity,"

"What a twisted logic,"

Both the interrogator and Sali outside said in unison.

The interrogator asked a few more questions and finally concluded that Gong Qiying indeed had no relation to Tamuda, just a simple tenant and landlord relationship.

"You may go now, thanks for your cooperation," the interrogator waved his hand.

"No problem, it’s what I should do," Gong Qiying politely responded.

Unexpectedly, this remark was greatly appreciated by the interrogator, who had been dealing with uncooperative old slicks before; Gong Qiying’s attitude was a breath of fresh air, practically a modest gentleman by comparison.

So, he said, "Wait a moment, go to finance to collect some compensation for lost work,"

"Thank you very much,"

Actually, Gong Qiying learned quite a bit from this visit.

From the words of the interrogator, he learned about the existence of the Anti-Dungeon Organization, "Hundred Faces Horned Snake" was the name of the tattoo on the necks of its members.

Thus, he confirmed that his enemy was indeed the Anti-Dungeon Organization, and his landlord Tamuda was also a member of the organization.

"But he ran away, can’t be caught, other members of the organization have also gone into hiding,"

Gong Qiying walked down the corridor, pondering how to capture a member of the Anti-Dungeon Organization who was sober-minded.

"Thump, thump, thump,"

A sound of footsteps came from behind, along with a juvenile eager voice: "Hero Elsa, stop!"

Gong Qiying turned around in confusion, a shadow enveloped him.

A young girl charged straight at him!

It was none other than Hero Elsa.
