Chapter 86: Chapter 85: Investigation Mission
[Belli Herta]
A senior officer of Cesimani, with a hobby of “collecting fingers,” whether they belong to humans or patients, any distinctive fingers could beco part of her collection.
Her disciples often brought back fingers to please her during their missions, and if they could satisfy Belli, they might even receive so extra rewards.
Before becoming an officer, she had also trained at Cesimani,
coincidentally, Zede was in the sa class as her, and they even had a good private relationship and had tead up before, but eventually, they embarked on drastically different paths.
Now, when she saw a disciple trained by Zede, she couldn’t help but reminisce about so past events, which made her no longer averse to this young man who was not from Cesimani.
When Yi Chen ca back, she casually handed him a bottle of healing potion and asked, “How has Zede been doing recently?”
“Although confined to the basent of the teaching building, as long as he desires sothing, the academy will satisfy him. He can even conduct various physical experints, continuing his exploration of the physical.
Such treatnt makes him unconcerned about ‘imprisonnt.’
He is currently not only conducting physical training for , but also responsible for teaching ‘Pathology’ to our class.”
Hearing this, a tinge of lancholy flashed across Belli’s light green eyes.
“It’s better than I imagined, pity… This guy’s eyes are ruined, otherwise he could have gone much further, not confined to Zion.”
“You have a good relationship with teacher Zede?”
Belli gave Yi Chen a ‘be quiet’ look, putting an end to the topic, “Alright, let’s talk about things between you now.”
“Okay.”
As Yi Chen sat down at the desk, Belli imdiately grabbed his right hand and examined the form of his five fingers using a monocle, reading the information they contained.
“Worked in a cetery before, never had any hand care.
However, the proportions of the finger joints are suitable, nail thickness is moderate, blood color uniform… Upper-middle class fingers, barely acceptable.”
When Belli released his hand, Yi Chen quickly withdrew his palm, worried she might suddenly cut off one of his fingers as a collection.
“Don’t worry, I don’t take fingers from living people.”
Belli then pulled open the second drawer on the right side of the desk.
She took out a stack of black files and, after careful selection, pulled out one of the docunts.
“There aren’t many ‘troubles’ to handle recently, there’s only this one suitable for you.”
Receiving the black file, Yi Chen saw a type of mission format completely different from Gentleman Hall, the first line of the docunt did not indicate the na of the mission but used keywords instead.
——
Keywords: [Forest], [Church], [Investigation & Slaughter], [Grayification], [Team action]
Introduction:
Located in Jose Valley, Shepherd Village surfaced a few months ago with a group of small organizations that received the villagers’ support and established churches in the valley, self-declared as the “New Life Church.”
The first few months were uneventful, and the village still complied with the rules set by the Organization, even increasing the quantity of agricultural products and at submitted every month.
Until two weeks ago, the trees around the village grew overnight into a structure resembling walls, completely cutting off all outside contact.
They continue to grow even now, affecting the entire ecology of Jose Valley.
The Organization has dispatched so gentlen to temporarily station outside Jose Valley, initiating an investigation into the unusual conditions in the forest.
The area surrounded by the tree wall has undergone grayification and even shows clear tendencies of evolving into a Grey Zone.
Please head to the [Black Eye Outpost] in Jose Valley, cooperate with the gentleman squad stationed there, ascertain the situation of the village and church organization, bring back crucial clues, and attempt to eradicate the source of grayification.
Subsequent reward will be based on the difficulty of the event.

No mission na or difficulty is provided, just operational instructions.
According to the geographical books Yi Chen had previously seen,
the so-called Jose Valley is located about three to four hundred kiloters from Zion, a valley surrounded by mountains, rich in diverse flora and fauna, alongside so more primitive village tribes.
However,
with the beginning of the Disease Era, most villages began to decline, and so small villages were even “emptied” within a few days, with no one in sight.
Only a very few large villages still barely existed, but the population continued to decrease,
until the Organization intervened and established related “Rules” for the villages, allowing the villagers to finally avoid grayification and death to so extent, and barely continue living in the villages.
The villages handed over 10% of their livestock and agricultural products to Zion each year in exchange for the Gentlen’s indirect protection.
…
Yi Chen whispered, “The New Church… are the numbers and related situations unclear?”
Belli propped up her long legs, sharpening her fingernails with a small knife.
“I’m not going to provide such boring and tedious information here. When you reach the Black Eye base, ask the gentleman responsible for investigating this matter there.
However, those people are truly useless, spending so much ti and still unable to resolve this matter, forcing us Cesimani to arrange for personnel to go and support them.
If you two had not co today, this task would have been assigned to soone else.”
At this mont, Jin suddenly threw out a strange question:
“Teacher, have any Gentlen died in this forest or inside a village?”
“Two Gentleman Teams lost contact completely while conducting internal investigations after transcending the tree wall; whether they died or not, I’m not sure.”
“Lost contact…interesting.”
Jin’s question was just this one, and he even seed to beco a bit excited.
Yi Chen still had so considerations and requests. “Could you provide us with the ‘Rules’ of Shebolt Village?”
“You can directly pick up a copy of the relevant rules at Gentleman Hall; if you don’t want to waste ti, head straight for the Black Eye base, where they definitely have a backup of the relevant rules.
If there are no problems, you can set out now.”
Jin had already beco restless, tugging at Yi Chen’s sleeve and pulling him towards the door.
Just then,
Belli suddenly added, “Hold on a mont, Jin~ you go outside first.
I need to talk alone with William, especially since this is his first ti executing a task on our side.”
“Alright.”
Jin waved his little hand, bidding a temporary farewell to Yi Chen.
As the dark door closed,
Yi Chen only felt his tie being grabbed and he was pulled towards the desk.
Teacher Belli’s face was almost close to his,
“I just want to remind you that the youngsters who tead up with Jin recently, even those who are a year senior, invariably got injured and rather severely; the worst case resulted in death.
Sotis she can be extrely uncontrollable,
and the area you are touching upon has already undergone deep grayification and may even turn into the Grey Zone during your investigation. If she engages in reckless behavior with a tendency toward proactively touching upon the danger of death, you need to actively intervene.
If you can co back intact, the two of you can work as long-term partners, and I will offer my support.
Jin is one of the most talented individuals with the ‘Executioner Talent’ that I have ever seen; the only thing lacking is ‘controllability’… I hope you can beco the most important ‘control gear’ inside her.”
“Since I have chosen to work with Jin, I will do my best.”
“Mm~ Also, when you have ti, send my regards to Zede, if that guy still rembers .”
“No problem! Miss Belli, do you know what happened to Mr. Zede’s eyes?”
“Once deep in the Grey Zone, this guy paid a painful price without considering the consequences… However, because of his madness, including , the rest of the team mbers were able to survive.
Stop talking and hurry up and set out.”
