I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

"What are you talking to yourself about?" Ouyang Qing walked up to Reid.

Seeing Reed's expression, Ouyang Qing thought that Reed would definitely agree to "chase after them?"

Reed stood up, stretched, and said, "I'm not going."

Ouyang Qing was immediately filled with question marks.

"Why?" Ouyang Qing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because it's too far," Reed said, pulling out a map and preparing to head back to turn in the quest.

Seeing that Reid was determined to leave, Ouyang Qing didn't stop him.

Ouyang Qing could sense that Reed seemed to know something, so she went to Reed's side and asked, "Do you know the origin of this eye?"

Ouyang Qing took out the flag and pointed to it with her gloved fingers.

Reed turned his head to look at the flag, then pulled it down.

Thrown onto the grass

Ouyang Qing looked at the flag thrown on the grass and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Ouyang Qing's gaze was now resolute as she stared intently at Reid's covered face.

Reed glanced at it and sighed.

Knowing this won't do you any good.

Ouyang Qing pressed further, "I never wanted any benefits; I just wanted the truth."

Reed yawned. Since she knew, it wasn't exactly a secret anymore.

"This eye belongs to a monster, or more precisely, it's the eye of a monster."

“It’s basically a metal box, with a keyhole in the middle of one side. That keyhole has an eye in it,” Reed said, pointing to the flags lying on the lawn.

"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this."

"Anyway, if you run into him, just ignore him," Reed waved dismissively, preparing to go back.

Ouyang Qing was a little confused. A metal box? She couldn't look at it? This monster sounded like trash.

It's just a metal box, isn't it? Ouyang Qing really couldn't figure out how the metal box monster Reed was talking about could attack people.

Ouyang Qing even felt that Reed was lying and just going through the motions, but then she remembered what Reed had just said about the keyhole.

I thought again of those cult members shouting and yelling, spouting those cult-like phrases.

Based on these clues, Ouyang Qing could only determine that this unknown creature had a keyhole and eyes.

This information feels very appropriate and good, the keyhole and the eye...

Ouyang Qing felt that this investigation mission had exceeded the difficulty level, and it was not only not simple, but also very mysterious.

Why did cult members suddenly change their object of worship overnight?

What has the cult used to cause such a rapid increase in their strength these past few days?

Ouyang Qing silently pondered these things.

Suddenly, a bead of cold sweat trickled down Ouyang Qing's forehead. If the cultists' strength were to continue growing like this...

There will definitely be irreversible consequences then.

Ouyang Qing called out to Reid again, but this time Reid didn't stop and kept walking.

"Rui..." Ouyang Qing hadn't finished speaking when she felt a gust of wind pass by.

Ouyang Qing looked at the tree behind her and saw a small iron pickaxe.

Reid also turned to look at Ouyang Qing.

"I already said I refused decisively, didn't I?"

"Don't think too highly of yourself. If I weren't worried about the trouble killing you would cause, that pickaxe would have pierced your head."

Red wasn't afraid of who would come to kill him after he killed the other person; he just felt it would be very troublesome.

Ouyang Qing sensed Reid's murderous intent. She knew that what she was doing was tantamount to courting death and was also extremely impolite.

Ouyang Qing tried to stay calm and took several deep breaths.

“Reed, I think we need to kill that iron box you mentioned first.”

Reed scoffed and said, "Is there no one else in this world? That damn monster will kill a few more people, and naturally a stronger person will come and kill him."

Ouyang Qing shook her head. "This method won't work, because there's no time left."

"Oh, yes, yes," Reed replied perfunctorily.

Pointing to the mess left by the tent, Ouyang Qing said, "The cultists are growing stronger and bolder."

"Haven't you noticed something strange? Why are cult members in the forest, and even have tents set up?"

Red tried to think about it briefly, but found he couldn't figure it out.

Ouyang Qing continued, "That's because the cultists are preparing to attack your human town."

"Oh?" Reed raised an eyebrow, showing no sign of panic.

Ouyang Qing picked up the flag and said, "I know this Black Crown cult quite well; they used to hide in open areas."

"These past few days they've been camping in the woods or forests, and they've been slowly approaching one of your human towns."

"Isn't it obvious already?" Ouyang Qing finished speaking.

Reed leaned against the tree, looking completely unconcerned.

"Oh...so what if the people of this town die? Those with the strength live, those without die."

Reed genuinely didn't want to get involved, but secondly, he felt the town was strong enough to defeat these so-called cultists, and as for that creature... Reed couldn't guarantee it.

Ouyang Qing was somewhat surprised by Reid's ruthlessness, then continued, "I wanted you to go and tell the mayor of your town about this matter."

Reed looked at the other person and asked, "Why not you?"

Ouyang Qing replied, "I have my own things to do, and I'm not even of the same race as you."

"So, the choice is yours: whether you tell the mayor or not."

"I was just reminding you, I wasn't forcing you."

After speaking, Ouyang Qing nimbly climbed the tree and disappeared.

As Reid watched Ouyang Qing disappear, he felt like he'd had the worst luck of the day.

Why did I have to run into this mess? I really don't want to get involved!

Reed also realized that if the cultists attacked the town, it would undoubtedly be his own Gothic town.

Since this forest is the closest to the Gothic town, if we don't attack here, where else can we attack?

Reed felt his workload was going to increase again today, and he had a bit of a headache.

"What a hassle, I should have just not taken this mission..."

Reed thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, let's tell Rena first..."

Reed looked at the map and walked toward the red dot on the map, surrounded by the sounds of birds chirping.

On his way, Red encountered several large spiders, and he got covered in their webs.

Although it made his body quite heavy, Reed was still able to move nimbly.

He easily chopped down all the spiders in just a few moves.

After walking for about half an hour, Red successfully emerged from the forest.

Reed felt the forest was quite dangerous; his own perceived ease was simply due to his superior strength.

Next, you walk along the road to the town, and then pass through the gatekeeper to enter the town.

Reed has become somewhat well-known in the small town these past few days, though only a little.

This fame doesn't stem from Red's strength, his mystery, or his past experiences.

Rather, it's Reed's outfit.

That's right, it's about his outfit. Some people think Red's outfit is really cool, and there are even people on the street asking him where he bought it.

Red is constantly asked where he bought his clothes, and he always...

"Wow, you're the masked man! Where did you buy your clothes? They look so cool!"

Reed looked at the man and slowly raised his left leg.

"Bang!" The man who asked about the clothes was instantly sent flying backward.

Those around who wanted to ask further questions all shut their mouths and retreated.
