Underground Tunnel
The middle-aged man recalled the snake. If he didn’t do that, he would beco a cripple. The snake disappeared from the spot and returned to the ntal zone.
Jeremy asked, "What about the other two?"
The middle-aged man was scared, so he obediently answered.
Jeremy learned that the remaining two took another turn to escape. Jeremy swiftly ended the life of the middle-aged man before chasing after the last two.

linda saved her team from the criminals. They were ambushed earlier, and the Tier-4 Beast Tars were injured. Fortunately, she arrived in ti to save them.
Then, they collected the corpses before returning to the surface. Theo and Frey were already waiting there with the officials.
They had already identified that the deceased man was part of the criminal gang when linda and her team ca to the surface. They handed over the corpses to the officials.
The officials were two old n from the city office. There are many officials in the office; they go to help the Beast Tars when they receive a request. This ti, these two old n ca.
The two old n began to check the corpses to identify them. They found tattoos on their forearms. The tattoo design matched the criminal organization.
linda then thought about Jeremy Night. He was not here.
"Where is he?" she asked Freya.
"Who?" Freya asked back.
"Jeremy Night. I told him to bring back the corpse," she said.
"No one ca back from the tunnel. You guys are the first," Theo said.
linda’s expression changed. She looked towards the officials.
"My team mbers were injured. I’m going to send them back to the organization. The rest of us will continue with the mission," she said.
The two officials agreed. They saw that the two Tier-4 Beast Tars were injured as well and needed treatnt. linda then told the Tier-5 Beast Tars to continue the mission.
They could take Theo and Freya with them. She would join them later after finding Jeremy Night. The officials collected the corpses into storage before leaving.
They calculated the rits of the Red Moon Chamber Team and praised them as well.
The Red Moon Chamber was doing better than the major Beast Taming Forces. The team was relaxed; the City Governors wouldn’t target the Red Moon Chamber anymore.
Creak!
linda then opened the hatch before going down into the underground tunnel. She followed the underground path.
Soon, she found the body of the middle-aged man killed by Jeremy’s blade.
But there was no sign of Jeremy Night here. She looked ahead and found traces of footprints.
She communicated with her lifeline beast, which confird that the footprints had recently appeared. She realized they must be the footprints of Jeremy Night, so she followed them.
By following the footprints of Jeremy Night, she found more and more corpses. In one particular spot, she saw seven headless corpses on the ground. Seeing that, she was stunned.
"What was the kid up to?" she asked herself.
She then noticed their arms. It was the tattoo of the skull. It belonged to the Skull Gang. Her eyes flashed with killing intent.
She didn’t know whether the criminals found Jeremy or Jeremy found them. Then, with the help of her lifeline beast, she continued to follow the trail.
She then saw the corpses of a snake beast and its beast tar. She once again saw the tattoo and confird that he was a Skull Gang mber as well.
Since Jeremy Night was killing the Skull Gang mbers, she decided to chase after him. She didn’t plan on taking the corpses back to the surface.
If others ca to know that they were hunting down the Skull Gang mbers, it would attract unwanted attention.
They had already handed over enough corpses. If they brought in the Skull Gang mbers, the Red Moon Chamber could face possible attacks from the criminal organization again.
Ti goes by...
Jeremy killed the last two mbers. They were ready to escape through the hatch, but he was able to catch them in ti. His blade was drenched in blood.
The drainage water had dirtied his clothes. Instead of using the hatch above to leave, he decided to go back and use the hatch in the park. After going there, he could use the facilities in the park to clean himself.
Swoosh!
Just as he was moving through the underground tunnel, his senses felt soone else coming. His eyes glead with a twinkle. He readied his katana blade.
When he was about to turn a corner, a figure flashed before his eyes. His eyes caught a glimpse of Senior linda. So, he didn’t use his katana to attack.
"Sister," Jeremy uttered.
linda saw Jeremy Night.
"Phew!" Jeremy heaved a sigh of relief.
"What happened? I saw corpses on the way," linda asked.
Hearing that, Jeremy began to explain how he found the Skull Gang mbers.
A few minutes later...
linda sighed in relief. She was worried that Jeremy Night was caught in a trap. Fortunately, he had killed each one of them.
"Let’s go back," linda said.
Jeremy and linda started going back. Twenty minutes later, both of them ca to the surface. Then, they each found a facility to change their clothes.
Shortly afterwards, both of them traveled together to et with the rest of the team.
Jeremy was surprised that she had the sa thoughts as him. Neither of them wanted to use the corpses of the Skull Gang mbers.
"I wanted to fight against the corrupted beasts," Jeremy said to her.
linda smiled and said, "You cut down Tier-4 Beast Tars. You can do solo missions. But the problem is sothing else."
"If you shine too bright, the other forces will target you. Before you can beco a higher-tier beast tar, they will try to kill you."
"The criminals have one backer in the Human Alliance. Because of it, we are facing such problems. Imagine what if other forces had soone in the Human Alliance," she said.
Jeremy’s eyes flickered with a glint.
