Chapter 390: The People of Tatsumi City
Demon Hunt General Agency
The tall white tower had been standing in the center of Tatsumi City for many days, and over time, the people had gradually come to accept its presence.
Now, the existence of extraordinary beings in Tatsumi City was no longer a secret. Many people secretly worshipped the Savior of the Babel Tower.
However, the Demon Hunt General Agency still pursued the Babel Tower.
At least, that’s how it appeared on the surface.
The number of Night Watchers at the Demon Hunt General Agency was nearly ten times greater than that of the previous Demon Hunt Agency in Tatsumi City.
But in contrast, the city they had to manage and protect was not just Tatsumi City alone.
Outsourcing missions were common. If a local Night Watcher from the Air Alliance cities encountered a situation they couldn’t handle, the Demon Hunt General Agency might dispatch Night Watchers from the headquarters for support.
In the event of a major crisis, it would be the Sword-wielding Troop’s time to shine.
Inside the lounge of the Sword-wielding Troop, Alan sat on the sofa, sighing with a troubled expression.
“Another day has passed.”
Miss Ai truly posed a challenge for him.
Although she wasn’t intentionally making things difficult for him, her standards were indeed very high.
Alan had no idea how to earn her approval, even though Captain Cursed String Music appreciated him.
Working in the Sword-wielding Troop was stressful. They were tasked with handling important missions from across the country.
Each mission had to be successful, with no room for failure.
Failure would lead to unimaginable consequences.
Within the towering structure of the Demon Hunt General Agency, there existed a special “teleportation array” that connected different cities.
When something major happened, the members of the Sword-wielding Troop only had to enter the city code into the teleportation array, and they would be transported there.
“If there were no teleportation array, it would be impossible to provide timely support to all the cities.”
Alan took out his phone and suddenly saw a text message.
Upon opening the message, he blinked in surprise.
“What’s going on? Has he arrived in the town?”
“Ganis!” Alan was utterly astonished. How did that man come here?
This is Tatsumi City, a town!
Without hesitation, he left the lounge and cast a spell to hurry home.
Meanwhile, at Alan’s House
Ganis looked around with curiosity, taking in the furniture, the computer, and various objects. It was all new to him, as he had hardly ever seen such things before.
Though filled with curiosity, Ganis refrained from touching anything.
He had spent a long time in Annottales but had always been confined inside the abattoir, used as a tool for performances.
Thus, he had never truly experienced life in a town.
Today, he “sneaked” into the city.
He entered the heart of Tatsumi City, wanting to discover what the townsfolk were really like. Then, he would confront the longstanding conflicts and tensions between the townsfolk and the Persecuted.
“Ganis!”
Alan arrived home and saw Ganis standing inside the room. He immediately asked in astonishment,
“Why did you come to the city? Don’t you know it’s very dangerous here?”
Indeed, the present Tatsumi City was far more dangerous for sinners, cultists, and criminals than the Tatsumi City of the past.
The Imperial Guards of the Air Alliance and the Sword-wielding Troop were now in the city. Among them were several powerful individuals capable of killing Ganis.
In a sense, this place had become the most challenging level for the Air Alliance.
“It’s okay, I believe you can protect me, hahaha!”
Ganis was carefree, laughing heartily when he saw Alan’s anxious and worried expression.
“Oh, I don’t know how to explain this to you, but this place is very dangerous for you… Since the last incident, the Leaf King, now the leader, brought a group of powerful individuals to Tatsumi City.”
Alan’s expression darkened as he continued,
“Especially Mr. ‘World’ from the Imperial Guards. That man is very mysterious. Even our captain from the Sword-wielding Troop is cautious of him. If he were to attack you, the Savior might not be able to protect you.”
“Why do we have so many worries?”
Ganis sighed and shook his head.
“As long as I don’t reveal my skin and the black patterns, the people in your city won’t know my true identity, right?”
Alan shook his head.
“But whatever you want to do in this city, I’m afraid it will be noticed right away.”
“In fact, when I arrived in this city, all I wanted was to look around and not do anything.”
Ganis spoke earnestly and continued,
“I just want to see… the kind of person we’ve hated.”
Hearing these words, Alan froze in astonishment.
The person we hated… Does this refer to the people living in Tatsumi City? Or even more broadly, to people in general?
In fact, Alan was one of those so-called “city dwellers,” an object of hatred for these “sinners” or, one might say, for the “city dwellers” themselves.
Alan had never paid attention to this before, but now, it was Ganis who made him realize the rift between the two.
Ganis continued,
“Back in the abattoir, all I saw was the ugly side of the city dwellers. But as I got to know you, I realized that wasn’t the whole truth… That’s why I want to witness everything here with my own eyes.”
Alan fell silent for a moment before gently nodding.
“I understand.”
“Next, you can stay with me, Ganis. As long as you don’t do anything unusual, no one will be able to find you in a city with millions of people.”
Upon hearing this, Ganis burst into hearty laughter.
“Great! Hahaha! I knew it, Alan, you can protect me!”
Alan sighed, helpless.
For some reason, influenced by Ganis’s carefree demeanor, Alan found himself joining in the laughter.
“Then wait a moment, I’ll bring some wine and dishes… The food in Tatsumi City is something you’ve never tasted before.”
Ganis eagerly nodded, his face full of anticipation, as if he were a visitor from a distant land.
“Yes, indeed! During these days outside the city, I’ve been wondering what you all eat and drink. It must be better than what we have!”
In front of the Demon Hunt General Agency’s Gates
Holly lifted her head in a daze, gazing at the towering white tower.
This is the legendary Demon Hunt General Agency…
The original Demon Hunt Agency building in Tatsumi City had vanished without a trace.
Most of the Night Watchers she knew had perished.
The few who remained were overshadowed by the arrival of the Demon Hunt General Agency. Now, Holly found herself wondering where to go and what to do.
She thought for a long time, and suddenly, a lump rose in her throat.
Two figures, a man and a woman, appeared at the entrance of the tower, approaching slowly.
The woman held a black umbrella for the man.
The man was a young boy, around sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a black suit, smiling widely.
Holly instantly recognized his true identity.
“Hello, Miss Holly… I am the captain of the Sword-wielding Troop, The Cursed String Music.”
“Ahh, ahh, you, you are from the Sword-wielding Troop!”
Holly was so startled that her ears perked up!
With a smile on his face, The Cursed String Music looked at the frightened little rabbit in front of him.
“Can you tell me how you came back to life?
Who is the person who saved you?
Could it be… the Savior of the Babel Tower?”
