Endless Debt Chapter 68 - 32 They3

"I still rember the scene when the war broke out back then, without any warning, it erupted so abruptly... But later, upon reviewing everything, Crow’s Nest discovered that there were actually many hidden signs at that ti, we just didn’t notice them.

Now, ’they’ have appeared in Opus again, provoking us and attracting most of the attention from the Field Operations Departnt.

Everyone is very tense, thinking the next round of war is imminent, but secretly with the active war situation, the so-called ’Man-eater’ has also erged, and they’ve been making such potion..."

Ivan voiced the worst conjecture.

"The ’Man-eater’ is related to ’them’?" Yas’s face darkened as well.

"Hmm, at least that’s what Lebius deduces; he suspects there’s a connection between the two."

Geoffrey spoke and then asked.

"Yas, does your Sixth Group have any extra manpower?"

"No, they’ve all been dispatched," Yas said.

"If it weren’t for Bologue’s revenge, perhaps we wouldn’t have noticed these guys till now."

Geoffrey realized this in horror; under ’their’ pressure, the Field Operations Departnt had no leisure to deal with the ’Man-eater.’ This ti, because of Bologue’s revenge, the Order Bureau engaged with the ’Man-eater’ and, through contact, unearthed so many things.

"Things are more complicated than we see... I’ll report to Crow’s Nest afterward," Ivan calmly stated.

"Sa goes for the Field Operations Departnt; I’ll notify the other groups," Yas nodded in agreent.

"I’ll handle Lebius, though; he doesn’t seem to be in a good mood."

Geoffrey said as he piled the papers filled with writing in front of Ivan.

"Information specialist, take another close look, see if there are any clues to follow."

Ivan browsed through the papers and said, "What is this ’Gini Theater’ he ntioned?"

"Norm’s connections with ’Man-eater’ are few; the only ti they contacted was during the cargo exchange, and the other party was masked, with the transaction entirely taking place at Wandering Crossroad. A ntion he heard during one of those trades."

Geoffrey had an impression of ’Gini Theater’ too.

"I’ve been to this theater many tis; I really liked their recent performance of ’Wandering Rat.’

At this thought, Geoffrey suddenly recalled he had given Bologue a ticket to ’Wandering Rat,’ and he seed to rember the performance was today.

For so reason, a chill crept up his body, uncertain whether it was coincidence or fate.

"At Geoffrey’s behest, I went and checked today, didn’t find anything unusual," Yas said.

Ivan didn’t speak; he just stared at those papers. After a pause, he grabbed them all.

"Let’s leave this guy here for now; if locked in Black Prison, it wouldn’t be easy to get him out," Ivan glanced at Norm and continued, "I need to return to Crow’s Nest once; if I have new information, I’ll co find you."

Geoffrey nodded, and Yas left alongside Ivan, bidding farewell to Geoffrey as they departed, "I’ll have my team mbers keep an eye out."

Finally, only Geoffrey was left, along with Norm behind the one-way glass.

Geoffrey let out a long sigh, feeling as if he were exhaling his soul with it.

His gaze fell on Norm, then on his own appointnt docunts, and the dark red potion... At this mont, he felt a strange sensation, the enemies returning full force, the purpose-unknown ’Man-eater’...

Recalling again Lebius’s terrible expression and a certain ’Undying Body’ wandering the streets.

Geoffrey’s breathing was a bit repressed, as if placed on the eve of a forthcoming storm.
