“Let’s go into the room and take a look,”Kant suggested after listening to Bunduk’s words.

  Bunduk nodded. He opened the seal that blocked the door and walked in with the two people behind him.

  The room was in a mess. All the furniture had been dismantled by pick, and the pieces of furniture were scattered everywhere.

  “Why is it so messy here?”Abel covered his mouth and nose and asked in puzzlement.

  Without saying a word, Bunduk picked up the sawdust under his feet. After sizing it up, he said, “This……”


  “Hey! What are you doing here?”An old human man walked in with a torch and shouted at the three people.

  “Hello, I’m Bunduk from Caradia.”Bunduk took the initiative to greet them. “We’re here to investigate the disappearance of Pick.”


  “Bunduk……”the old man repeated the name several times. His eyes lit up as he asked, “You’re the warrior who chased that bully, pick away, right?”


  “Warrior…… ?”Bunduk was too embarrassed to accept such a title. He asked the old man, “Are you a resident living nearby?”


  “Yes.”The old man adjusted his pajamas and said, “My living quarters are next to this room.”


  “I see.”Abel nodded. “So you come here to patrol every night?”


  “It’s been like this for the past few days.”The old man sighed and said, “When the children in the town heard that there was such an abandoned room here, they would find an opportunity to sneak in every night and cause trouble here. It was so noisy that even the old woman couldn’t sleep.”


  While listening to the old man’s explanation, Bunduk followed his footsteps and walked out of the door. Kant and Abel were still inside the room, searching for clues.

  “Just now, I heard movement through the door, so I rushed over to take a look.”The old man stood at the door, raised his hand and pointed at the door of the opposite resident, “Look, this is my home. I was in a hurry to check the situation here, and even forgot to close the door.”


  Bunduk looked up and saw that the door of the house was half-closed.

  “We didn’t pay much attention to this. Sorry to disturb you.”Bunduk lowered his head and apologized.

  “It’s okay, it’s okay.”The old man smiled and waved his hand, he said, “We’re just worried. After all, this house has been abandoned for a few days. From time to time, drunkards will come looking for us. As neighbors, it’s not very convenient for us.”


  “Well, we’ll be leaving in a while.”Bunduk thought of something and asked, “Old Man, do you know when pick left?”


  “It was the day of the duel with you, Lord.”The old man seemed very excited when he talked about this topic. He recalled, “That day, the old woman and I happened to be at home. We happened to see pick bringing the unconscious Lord back to the living quarters, and we were very shocked.”


  “That day, you were also there?”Bunduk asked in surprise.

  “Yes.”The old man put down the torch, as he gestured, he recounted to bunduk, “The old woman and I have been hiding in the stairwell, watching the movements in your room. However, we didn’t hear the sound of fighting. The old woman was really scared, so she went downstairs to call for help. She wanted to save the Lord, but the orcs she found were directly thrown down from the second-floor window by pick. “There’s nothing we can do.”


  “You found the Orcs?”Bunduk recalled in his mind, but there was no image of this matter.

  “It’s the Inn’s clerk on Main Street. He often settles the trouble for us. After the old woman walked down the stairs, she ran into him who had rushed over after hearing the news. When he heard it, he immediately rushed over to help. He and pick could be considered old rivals, but pick was wild that day, and Phillip couldn’t defend against him.”The old man looked at the confused Bunduk, he explained.

  “When the orcs came up to help, did you see me?”Bunduk asked in a hoarse voice.

  “Yes, I’ve been hiding behind the door of the room. When I saw Lord Bunduk, you also stood up and fought with Phillip Against Pick.”The old man immediately nodded.

  What the old man said was a completely different story. It was not a single bit different from Bunduk’s memory. The conversation ended here in Bunduk’s silence.

  Abel and Kant patted the dust off their bodies and walked out of Pick’s room. They saw the gloomy-looking Bunduk and the helpless-looking old man. Abel could not help but ask, “What are you guys talking about?”


  “Well…… Lord Bunduk asked me some things about the battle that day……”the old man said nervously, “Did I say something wrong?”


  “No.”Bunduk raised his head and said to the old man, “I remembered it wrong.”


  “AH, Lord, your expression gave me a fright.”The old man sighed in relief and said, “Are the lords leaving? Then I’ll go back to my room to rest. It’s an honor to see you by chance.”


  “En, take care.”Bunduk said with a slight formality, “Oh right, old sir, I have another question. has there been any repair workers in your building recently?”


  “No.”The old man walked to the door and was stunned. He turned around and said, “Although this is an old building, the infrastructure hasn’t been damaged in so many years.”


  “Okay, thank you.”Bunduk nodded, and after exchanging glances with the two people behind him, he walked downstairs.

  After standing in the empty space downstairs, Abel asked Bunduk with concern, “What did you talk to that Old Man About? Is there any bad news?”


  “That bastard, Pick!”Bunduk punched the wall and said, “So the battle with him in this living quarters was all an illusion caused by the insect Gu.”


  Kant raised his eyebrows after hearing Bunduk’s words and said, “You mean, that Beast Tamer named pick pretended to lose to you, and you didn’t get the antidote to cure the insect gu?”


  “If I didn’t meet the old man’s neighbor that day,”Bunduk squatted down and answered, “I couldn’t believe that the conversation and the battle scenes in my memories were all fake.”


  “Why did he do this?”Abel frowned and asked.

  “I don’t know. He made Bunduk believe that he wasn’t infected with the insect worm. And let him escape from his side,”Kant said worriedly. “At the moment, the key is still what the effect of this insect worm is.”


  “What pick told me is that this insect worm will control my brain and devour my consciousness.”Bunduk took a deep breath and said, “Make me a tool that can be used.”


  “There is actually such a vicious method!”Abel said angrily.
