Slipping through the door, Issei was presented with the scene of a massacre. n and won wearing the uniform of the Purifiers lay strewn across the floor, dead. The wounds and blood splashes, a detached part of Issei’s mind observed, ant that they had been taken completely by surprise, standing around and chatting, most likely. Gutter Runners.
[Gar’s Mind], activated!
The surging anger and panic subsided thanks to his Sacred Gear. Issei took in a deep breath and exhaled. Right. Cool, calm and collected. Kill the abomination against nature now, grieve for those people later.
Resolve set, Issei stepped forwards, only to be confronted with a screen popping up in front of him.
Do you wish to loot the area?
Y|N
This made Issei hesitate. Looting the ratn was one thing, but looting these poor people was quite another. It wasn’t right. Then again, he would use their stuff to kill the ratn, which they’d doubtlessly want, so there was that...
After so internal debate, Issei reluctantly looted the bodies. There was a high chance that at least one of them would have a clue about where the actual Purifier base was and he couldn’t let a chance like that go. He’d inspect the contents later.
There was only one set of stairs in the place and it led up, so Issei went up them. More dead Purifiers were on the next floor, which he looted. By his rough count, the ratn had killed roughly thirty Purifiers by this point, and who knows how many other humans. Those idiots had reaped what they had sown from trying to play god, but still. They hadn’t deserved this.
It was the sa on the third floor, except there was actually places to go on that floor. One door to the right looked out on the path to the control room, while the other was made of fine wood and had a brass plaque on it saying ’Midorikawa Nobuyuki, Head Researcher, Project Rat King’ on it.
This was too much temptation for Issei to pass over. Not only would there likely be instructions to activating the giant Breeder Killing Device, but there may also be a map or sothing that could direct him to the Purifiers’ local base.
Problem: The door was locked.
"[Earth Shot]!"
SMASH!
Problem solved.
The room that was the office of the deceased Midorikawa-san wasn’t luxurious by any ans. It was similar to the kind of office you’d see used by a highschool counsellor on TV. It had a desk, a chair behind it a less nice chair in front of it, a sofa and maps on the wall. All of them were of Kuō City. One was a perfect match for the one that Issei had in his inventory, marking the locations of the ratman burrows. Another was clearly a preliminary version of that, with several more locations that had seemingly been considered and then discarded for various reasons.
The map that Issei was most interested in was obviously the map that had a single location indicated on it, with the symbol of the Purifiers themselves. This was doubtlessly the location of the Purifiers’ Kuō base. He took it down and stored it in his inventory, swiftly followed by the preliminary burrow map. He’d check out those locations at so point, in case they were dungeons.
That is, after he dropped in on the Purifiers and made his opinion on their activities clear.
Next, he searched the desk. Although the drawers were locked, the keys were on a hook on the wall. Clearly, Midorikawa-san hadn’t been very security conscious of his own office. The first drawer had several rolls of Yen notes in it, for so strange reason. Had he planned on paying his n in cash, by any chance?
You acquired ¥200,000!
Cha-ching!
The second drawer had nurous folders in it, full of research notes on the ratn. That would hopefully be useful to keep the devils off his back, so into the inventory with them.
Finally, the third drawer had two things in it; a slim folder and a removable console. Issei picked up the folder and skimd through it. Basically, the console was the Ergency Base Destruction Console. The only way to kill the Breeder was to destroy the Base with it, as it was assud by the Purifiers that if they needed to kill the Breeder, then the entire plan was defunct, necessitating the destruction of all evidence.
The steps to destroy the base were rather simple as long as he had the console, although he was worried about what might happen to Kuō City above if it worked. Then he read on and relaxed, as it seed to be so sort of magic system to fill the place with concrete. It was, in his opinion, a bit...Okay, a LOT hypocritical of them to both hate and use magic, but that’s human nature for you.
Stowing the console in his inventory, Issei headed to the door leading to the control booth, but froze when an enormous gob of sothing green slamd into the wall just outside of the door. Peeking out, he could only guess that it ca from the Breeder. A poison spit attack? OK, now that was rank!
The Breeder screeched unintelligibly at him and spat another one at Issei, who decided that being in the sa place as the spit (which was eating into the wall like acid!) was a Bad Idea, so he ran out onto the walkway and proceeded to dodge and evade every single spit attack that ca his way. Once, he had to block one with a [Lesser Barrier Shield] and only barely managed it.
