I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

【End of battle】

Red walked back with his hands in his pockets, and everyone stopped in their tracks when they saw him.

"How is it? Is that thing dead?"

"What was that white smoke just now? It choked my eyes and they hurt!"

"Damn it, does today's task have to be antagonistic to the word 'eyes'?!"

Everyone rushed forward to ask Reed, very curious [and gloating] whether he was dead or not.

Reed shook his head and was about to speak when...

"Reed, are you alright? Sit down and let me see!" Rena spoke first, clutching her backpack tightly as she ran to Reed.

He took out some medical supplies from his backpack and began circling around Reed, checking for any wounds.

Reed stood motionless, “…”

Rena groped around and saw the wound on Reed's back where he had been stabbed with a dagger.

"This... I don't think it was there just now..."

Reina reached out to touch her wound when Reed suddenly dodged to the left.

"Ouch... Hey hey!" Rena almost fell, but luckily she managed to steady herself in time.

Tef, panting heavily and using his longsword as a cane, approached Reid and said, "Reidner, what's the urgent matter? Let's sit down and talk while we heal our wounds."

Reed didn't speak, but instead sat cross-legged on the ground.

Rena understood; Reid had listened to Tef's words.

Rena came up behind Reed, holding bandages and herbs in her hands. She paused for a moment, then asked...

"Reed... could you take off your clothes first? I can't check the wound like this."

Rena looked at the bloodstains on Reed's back with some confusion.

Strangely, Reed's clothes were completely undamaged. I looked at them carefully just now, and there wasn't a single tear, not even a single hair had fallen out.

But here's the problem! The clothes weren't torn, but Red's blood was seeping out, and the bleeding clearly indicated a dagger wound.

Why are the clothes not torn, but the body is injured?

The large gash on Reed's chest, seemingly created out of schadenfreude, is so convincing that it looks like a gaping wound if you don't look closely.

Looking at it calmly now, I realized that the clothes weren't damaged, but there was blood...

Rena didn't ask why, because she knew Reed probably wouldn't tell her.

When Reed heard that Rena needed to take off her clothes, his first words were "No!"

"Hmm..." Rena could already see the stubborn look in Reed's eyes from his back.

Finally, Rena used some hemostatic potions and healing herbs to cover Reed's wound with her coat.

Reed took this opportunity to recount what had just happened, very briefly.

Red only said two sentences: "A masked man stopped me, then [gloated] ran away."

Some people wanted Reed to reveal more clues, but Reed remained unresponsive.

Everyone realized that [the gloating one] had already escaped and his whereabouts were currently unknown...

There was also an unknown, mysterious person wearing a mask with an expressionless face; no one knew who this person was or what their identity was.

Everyone was exhausted, and many had some injuries. In addition, the horrific scene on the grassland still needed to be cleaned up...

Everyone could only sigh and, clutching their wounds, made their way into the blood-soaked grassland.

Kerson felt terrible seeing this; these were all his own race of humans who had died... not to mention the soldiers he had trained...

The soldiers disposed of their comrade's body, and incidentally picked up the black crown from the ground.

Because the scene was so chaotic, it was impossible to tell who was who, which led to some minor disputes.

But it's just a minor dispute now; after all, everyone was injured, and a full-blown fight is unlikely.

Some adventurers wept as they collected the corpses of their teammates, while others painstakingly searched through the pile of bodies that had been slicing into pieces with schadenfreude.

Some people couldn't handle the scene, so they grabbed some black crowns and left.

Tef received his black crown and calculated that it was enough to pay for his leg treatment.

Rena received a reward for helping others during the battle.

Anlisa and Reid fought their way to victory; among the four, Reid undoubtedly had the most kills.

As the second-ranked minister, Kesen naturally suffered more injuries.

Anlisa accidentally killed a soldier because she was influenced by the gloating group mentality.

Now filled with guilt, he squatted on the ground, holding his forehead...

Reina ran over to comfort Anlisa...

"30 minutes later..."

Most of the people on the grassland have left now; some are carrying the bodies of their fallen comrades back to the town.

Some people have already gone to the town to redeem their prize money with the black crowns.

Unclaimed corpses and piles of flesh on the grassland, their identities unknown.

The sorcerer dug a large pit, and the group threw the body into it and buried it.

The four-person team had already started heading back to town five minutes ago.

Anlisa suffered a severe abdominal injury, and Minister Kesen told him to go back for treatment first.

Anlisa is currently being supported by Tef.

Along the way, they encountered several large spiders, which Reed was responsible for protecting the three of them. He killed one with a single strike.

The difficulty of this mission exceeded many people's expectations. They originally thought that with so many people involved, the mission would be very simple.

But unexpectedly, nearly 100 people died, mainly due to schadenfreude and those fanatical believers.

Rena hoisted the gloating circular saw onto her shoulders, much to Reed's surprise that she was actually planning to carry it back.

But Reed didn't object; in fact, he was quite curious whether it could be used as a weapon.

I've seen other colleagues at the company before, holding EGO weapons with a smug look on their faces.

The weapon is exactly the same as [Schadenfreude]'s circular saw.

However, both its effectiveness and damage are far inferior to [schadenfreude]'s own circular saw.

It's practically a pirated copy.

Rena was also wondering if she could use this strange round object as a weapon.

After walking for a while, the group entered the town, found the Story of All Things Guild, opened the door, and went inside.

As soon as the four of them entered, they all found a chair and sat down. Three of them were panting heavily; this mission had been too tiring.

Reed didn't seem to mind; instead, he had time to count the black crowns.

Rena threw the circular saw on the ground and sat down in a chair, panting heavily.

This damn iron thing is too heavy! I don't know what Reed is doing! Seeing how exhausted he is, doesn't he have a shred of pity for her?! (o｀3'*)

Rena glanced at Reid instinctively, and... well, all he sees is money...

Rena grew angrier and angrier, even feeling a little wronged. If Reed hadn't asked her to join the team, she wouldn't be so tired, and she wouldn't have suffered some injuries!

While I was checking his wound, he deliberately dodged, almost causing me to fall!

Rena grew angrier and angrier, grabbed a paper bag from the side and threw it at Reed.

Reed was engrossed in counting how much money he had earned when he heard some noise and turned around to look.

He was hit in the face by a paper bag that was thrown at him.

Rena felt a little better when she saw that she had hit the bullseye.

Rena subconsciously glanced left and right at her guild, then at the wooden clock on the wall.

Rena pondered, "Liss should be here by now... but why isn't she here yet? She's usually so punctual..."
