Well, that's one thing taken care of. We will perform the show later in the afternoon. Now the next thing is…
"What about the other prisoners?" I asked Ms. Wendy.
"Which one? The members of the cult that you captured or the thugs who caused troubles after the stampede?" Ms. Wendy asked back.
"Well… both of them, I guess? What will we do to them?"
"Hmm… as for the troublemakers, we can imprison them in a real prison. We'll give them to the guards of this city to take care of. As for members of the cult… It will be problematic if we put them in prison. During the stampede, all the convicts in prison choose to stay knowing that the prison is a safe place, but some of the wardens are dead. And we don't know if there are members of the cult inside the prison as well. We can't do much to those who are already in prison after all." Ms. Wendy shook her head.
I guess that's partly my fault as well. After knowing Hill and what Victoria enjoyed viewing in Mellian's prison, I would purposely walk away from prison and never really tried to see through the inside of the prison.
Knowing that there are only criminals there, the numbers of people related to the cult should be high. Maybe I'll go check it out later.
…after I asked Oleg if there are people like Hill as the warden or not.
"Have you interrogated them?"
Yesterday when I was trying to sleep before suggesting a festival, it should be enough for Ms. Wendy and the agents to interrogate the prisoners I caught. Maybe they have given us another info other than what we know from Veronica as well.
"We have. One of my people is expert in torture and interrogation. He said that the members of the cult only know what we already know. Even Luiz doesn't know much other than being told by their higher ups to make a stampede happen in this city." Ms. Wendy said.
"Your interrogator is extremely good then. I thought that even the members of the cult will still choose to stay silent after being tortured."
"…it's all thanks to you though."
"What?" I tilted my head in confusion.
What did I do to them? I just capture them, dislocate their joints, and threw away their HGBs. Is there anything else that I did? Maybe it's how I tied them up?
"Well, your method of tying them while making them only have one way to kill themselves with magic is really cruel. My interrogator even shiver in fear when he saw the situation. There's a corpse of a man with his crotches burnt. The expression of that person on his death is different from any that he has seen in his life. And then those who haven't killed themselves told us the truth because they saw the scariest thing that would happen if… they tried to kill themselves." Ms. Wendy explained.
So it works better than I imagined. I thought I would only have them unable to kill themselves. Who would have thought that it would cause them so much trauma just witnessing someone burned his own crotches to death?
It's also a good thing that I only captured men. In fact, I haven't seen much female cult members so far. If I found one, I guess I should think how to tie them up again. Maybe Victoria will know more about it.
"Let's just kill the prisoners. Throw them outside the city and do whatever you want to get them killed. From what I see, some of the agents here are holding grudges toward them for having their friends killed, right? Just let them grab those prisoners outside the city and have them do whatever they want as long as the prisoners died." I said calmly.
"…that's pretty cruel. But I think that's good for the agents to relieve their anger as well. Candy, you will go with the agents and see if they are truly dead." Ms. Wendy looked at Candy.
I guess she's worried if by any chance that the prisoners are not killed. But for me, I can believe these agents. all of these agents are people who Albert can trust. None of them should be related to the cult. I'm sure that they will kill those prisoners without a doubt.
"Alright then. We're done, right? I'll take a short nap then. I haven't sleep at all since yesterday."
I go to my room and sleep until the time for the public speech arrive.
After few hours of sleep, I was awakened by Sophie very gently. It was so gentle that I wish I can go back to sleep again. And then Angela came and disturb my rest for real.
"Sophie! Next time you wake him up, don't do it like that! Just slap his face or something." Angela said to Sophie.
"That's impossible for me. Next time, I'll just ask you to do it." Sophie said.
"Please, don't! Sophie is the one who has to wake me up! At least when we don't have any urgent matter." I interrupted.
"But we have an urgent matter now! You need to wake up already!"
Seems like it's impossible to have another sleep. I'll just ask Sophie to sleep with me tonight.
I wear a guard uniform since I'll be pretending to be Shirley's guard. My mouth is covered with a mask so that no one can see that I'm the one doing the talking.
As for Luiz, he will be restrained and have Victoria inside his mouth. Will she be okay being inside his mouth? I tried asking her.
"Hmm? I'm fine. Back then when I was still alive in this world, I killed and tortured many people using both the strength I gained in this world and the knowledge I learned from my previous world. I have seen things even more disgusting than the inside of someone else's mouth." Victoria replied nonchalantly. Making those who heard her stepped away in fear.
Will I be okay having her as my girlfriend?
No. I'm not just her boyfriend. I'm also her master as she is my summon. She won't try to kill me. I hope.
"Well, where are we going first?"
"To Luiz's place obviously! You'll be meeting Hill and Oleg there who has been explained about our plan. By the way, are you sure we can trust Oleg? I know he's doing well protecting the city, but we don't know much about him." Angela asked.
"Well, I know that he played an important role in my previous life which makes me able to keep my life. Maybe yours as well. And after seeing what he did, I know I can trust him."
"Well, if you say so." Angela said.
I guess she's convinced with that explanation. But how she didn't ask me about why I didn't remember about Oleg earlier is a good thing. I can't just tell her that I forgotten about him until I met him yesterday.
…but from the suspicious stares from Victoria and Kayla, and also the stifled laughter of Sophie and Lina, I think only Angela doesn't realize it. Good thing that Shirley, Candy, and Ms. Wendy isn't here.
Anyway, I wondered about it for a while. Where are they?
"They are making the preparation. Once everything is prepared, Shirley will meet you and you will bring Luiz from where he is being imprisoned to the stage we just built yesterday for the short festival." When I asked, it was Kayla who answered.
"So, we will openly show Luiz to the public on the way to the stage as well. And while doing that, we make sure that everyone in the city noticed something is going on. Am I right?"
"Yes. Once you're on the stage, it's your turn." Kayla said.
"Huhu… don't worry, I'll be doing my best. Victoria said that it was a voice acting, and I'm good at acting." I said confidently.
"That's good. Some agents said that there are people entered this city a while ago. Once Luiz is on stage, they might assassinate him."
Assassination? If I don't have to do the talking, I would be out there killing or capturing suspicious people. But with me on the stage, I can't do that anymore. So… do they have plan in case this happen?
"If an assassin indeed come, should I let Luiz die or protect him?" I asked Kayla.
"Protect him if possible. On the stage, there will be only four of you. Shirley as the princess, Luiz, Oleg, and you. If the assassin comes, I want you to prioritize saving Shirley first. It's fine if Luiz is dead. We already know enough about the cult to make them the enemy of the people. But if possible, protect him."
Sigh… protecting someone I would kill later. Such a pain in the ass.
So I just need to prioritize Shirley first? As for the other, they will be a part of the crowd or hiding somewhere to look for suspicious people.
"By the way, have any of you heard anything from Sonia?"
"She's so busy right now. The losses in another city is too much. But they managed to capture the noble in charge of those cities. Although I heard that they all killing themselves after being caught." Kayla replied.
So they have chosen death. It means that we are the only ones left to show the world about the cult.
I'll show the world how good my voice acting skill is. Well, Melk city at least.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Well, that's one thing taken care of. We will perform the show later in the afternoon. Now the next thing is…
