Chereads / The Changing World / Chapter 12 - The Dark Side Of Humanity

Chapter 12 - The Dark Side Of Humanity

The tense atmosphere finally receded. Hearing that there were no sounds of battle anymore, many beasts especially those which had evolved their brains such as black pupil monkey, bunge chimpanzee, and others got out of the nest and started to ran into the center of battle.

Intending to take advantage of both tired parties

And became the victors

Unfortunately they were disappointed

Because what they saw was the destruction of battle

There was no intact ground in dozens of meters square. The small and big craters were everywhere,

There were only some trees that stood proudly around the center of battlefield

But they were not intact trees either, some had broken branchs, the remainings were cut in half.

The beasts reactions were out of the world

Their salivas drolled

They couldn't even image how many energies were those two creatures that had created this destruction

The amount must be enormous

If they could eat one of them, they had high probability to evolve further

While humans needed to train hard at the same time ate plenty of beasts energy that located inside their meat, or consumed certain herbs that able to help them to evolve.

The animals were more primitive,

They ate each others to help them evolve. The higher danger level rank of a beast, the better and more the energy it had.

That's why there were not much beasts calliber of Fang Bullet Wolf in all areas

Because basically they had ran out of bigger and richer energy of beast so they couldn't evolve further.

But if it in 'that' world which located closer to the center of energy explosion

That would be a different story

Even human currently couldn't even take a look of that place

Because all of those who had been there never came back

Suddenly

The silence filled at that place

Only dripping salivas to the ground could be heard

Before the beasts looked at each others

And showed their fangs, claws, or their terrifying eyes

The brutal fight until death erupted in that place

The second round of fight started!!!

Meanwhile, on the way to the Mojo City, A young man seen walked calmly. The blood in his body had been washed in the closest river earlier, now with his clothes intact and his hiking backpack in his back, he walked to the Mojo City intending to do some things.

He turned behind looking on his new invention was,

It was a big four tires rectangular shaped wooden car. It was connected on the thin wooden rope to his left hand. Koro and Rika were seen sleeping on the wooden car with their arms and legs bound with wooden ropes. Beside them was the intact corpse of Fang Bullet Wolf, the cleaner one because he had washed its blood and threw its internal organ as well.

Eventhough eating beast energy could accelerate his body injuries

But there was no way he would eat something that had just devoured the humans' head in its stomach

He wasn't a cannibal

He intended to sell them to local beast shop, they must know what to do with it

Regarding his body injuries, he didn't care at all because he knew that all of them would be healed in a few days

When he moved, the wooden rope automatically got pulled as well created a show of moving wooden car

Speaking of these two people

Jantan wasn't fool

He knew that he needed to do little 'investigation' before deciding the next step

He didn't want to accidently hurt someone after all

Even if 'someone' here was from Hunter Guild

He needed clear 'explanation' from their mouths

And from their explanations were, basically what their fates awaiting them

So they should answer honestly

Because he didn't have much patience with liars

He walked casually while thinking about today's battle

He felt that he almost reached his former state

He only needed one more battle

He intended to face something that could devour his body anytime

Something more destructive than Blood Red Tiger

Something faster than Fang Bullet Wolf

He needed adrenalin injection

He wanted to feel that zone again

Because he almost forgot how long had it been since he was serious in battle

"Look at me, i'm too arrogant now" He chuckled slightly. Shaking his head, Jantan continued his journey

Ten hours later, the sky started to darken. Jantan entered Mojo city, the fact that he bought a big wooden car with a pretty big beast stood out from the crowd. Many people gave him the way when he passed, some children even cheered seeing that brother captured the beast.

Jantan nodded to passed people, a few minutes later

he arrived at the same shop he sold the remainings of Blood Red Tiger. He put the wooden car outside the room, he entered the room and saw that it was as crowded as always. He searched an empty room and sat down, waiting for his turns

In fact, he didn't worry at all if someone stole his belongings because he felt the connection of thing that he projected with his energy, in this case was a wooden car. If there was something with the wooden car, he would have known it first.

Counting it as a bait for bad people he thought evilly

One hour later, it was his turn.

Seeing the same young man, the burly owner was surprised, but he kept his composure afterward, he needed to keep the positive image of professional businessman after all.

After Jantan explained, the two walked to the outside of shop and saw the wooden carriage. The owner took a big beast with his right hand, showing how strong was this evolver.

Checking for a minute, he nodded in satisfaction, he even said that this beast was the most perfect Fang Bullet Wolf he had ever seen, its skin was so thick, it must be a good breed. The two then negotiated for a couple of minutes, including Jantan explained that Fang Bullet Wolf had eaten the heads of several humans, but the owner waved his hand casually

"No need to worry. Not all beasts we received are to be consumed, there are always some cases that they needed to be sent into laboratory to do a research or to do some special 'cases'" He specifically emphasized the last word.

Jantan of course knew what he meant. In order to pull the prey into the trap, sometimes evolver bought a whole beast corpse with pretty high rank and made it as a bait, all for the accomplishment of mission.

All for humanity

Jantan nodded. The two negotiated again for a while before the owner gave him full three milions. The reason it was higher, aside of the Fang Bullet Wolf's corpse was more precious that Blood Red Tiger, the one Jantan delivered was the whole corpse so of course the price must be higher.

The two finished the transaction and Jantan left the local beast shop with good mood

Because he just received three milions duwits, it meant that his total wallet now was eight million duwits and sixty thousands.

He got rich overnight

Jantan walked outside to the gate, after reaching a big tree. He grabbed two people who in coma and jumped to one of the highest branches.

"Wake up!" Koro and Rika felt that their faces were splashed by water

In response, they opened their eyes and breathing heavily

"What happened? Where are we?" Rika asked in hurry

Jantan lifted his hand

"Listen carefully, i don't want to repeat myself" he said calmly

The two of them looked at their arms and legs that had been tied with wooden ropes, the same wood type that bound Fang Bullet Wolf, their versions were just thinner.

With this, there was no way they could free themselves

They looked at each others and nodded, they turned their heads and saw him

Jantan nodded

"Explain me in detail what is your mission and how is your Hunter Guild now, explain me anything"

Silence filled the place for a few seconds before Rika opened her mouth

"I can exp" Her speech stopped when he saw Koro glared at her

"Shut up!! Don't you remember our code of works!!" He shouted angrily

"Even if i died, i would never tell you what things we have done. Just kill me" he said coldly

Rika frowned but she was silent

In other words, 'her hands' tied now

She couldn't say anything she wanted

Because it had her precious things in its hand

Jantan saw this calmly, he was unaffected by the serious atmosphere of two

"Are you sure? I don't want to repeat myself" he asked again

The two kept silence making him sighed

Jantan took his phone, typed something, and he waited

The sound of birds chirping ease the awkwardness of the situation. It was silent as night, the three people shut their mouths. They had their own different reasons for this.

The two hostages didn't want to say something stupid

And Jantan waited for his phone

A few minutes later, the phone in Jantan's right hand finally shivered twice, the sign of there was an incoming message. He picked it up, read the contents for a few minutes before he said

"I see, that makes sense now!"

Koro's eyes widened seeing this, he asked in disbelief

"How-how do you know?

Jantan stood up

"I have my own way"

He pointed to Koro

"Koro Raj, 30 years old male, joined the Hunter Guild ten years ago. You have done 103 missions since then, to be exact 76 beast hunts low level ordinary evolver, 12 beast hunts middle level ordinary evolver, and..."

He saw him in eyes

"15 times for guarding the buildings in red light district.

13, 07, 2022 the team was tasked to hunt Fang Bullet Wolf with danger level 30. Kroji lead the team with two middle level ordinary evolvers, five low level ordinary evolvers, and one armed heavy machine gun ordinary human" he said clearly

"Kroji, is it team leader's name?" Jantan thought remembering the leader of team

"And sadly they never came back because of the unexpected thing"

"The Fang Bullet Wolf you guys met was the mutated one, it looked like it had eaten other animal to strengthen itself so it could have 39 danger level. In other words it was a mutated beast"

Looking on the two remaining members, he thought

"Very unfortunate, you guys met a mutated beast"

"Well, it should be "We met a mutated beast"" he chuckled slightly

As its name, a mutated beast was a type of beast that had just mutated after eating the same danger level beast or even higher. It had not been one day since the beast ate another beast and its body still undergoing transformation, it was named as a mutated beast.

It was different with evolved beast because the letter had completely digested the prey and underwent transformation, creating a new type of beast.

Fang Bullet Wolf increased danger level 39 earlier was a mutated beast. Its skin was abnormally hard, it looked like it hadn't been a day since swallowing armored type beast and still undergoing transformation before ambushing them.

The normal Fang Bullet Wolf had danger level 30, it was in middle level ordinary evolver. While the mutated Fang Bullet Wolf 39 danger level with hard skin was at high level ordinary evolver.

The difference of 9 danger levels was like a kid and adult. It was a big difference

That's why eventhough the Hunter Guild's team had been prepared well, they couldn't defeat it.

Knowing the situation in hand, Jantan sighed before he straighten his body. Facing Koro, he asked coldly

"I ask you. What does it mean with 15 times guarding building in the red districts"

Koro asked in disbelief "How do you know? Who are you"

Jantan saw him for a few seconds before he walked to him

Put his hand on Koro's shoulder and press it

Click

"Ahhhhhhh" he shouted in pain as his bone's shoulder broken

"Answer my question!"

He then pressed the left shoulder

Click

"Ahhh it hurts damnn it!" He shouted angrily, tears fell down from both of his eyes. Hit both arms now laid down uselessly in his side

"Still don't want to answer?" Jantan asked coldly

He touched Koro's wrist and press-

"Okay okay, i say i say.. please stop it!!!" Koro suddenly shouted loudly

"He is a demon!" Koro thought in fear. He knew that if he didn't yield, the guy in front of him would break all of his bones in his body

And he didn't even blink

On the other hand, Rika also looked at Jantan with fear. She didn't expect that the good young man that had helped them earlier was this ferocious.

Koro sighed, as it looked like he gave up and said slowly

"I just joined at that time. There was a first mission when we were tasked with killing the prostituted lady because our motto in Hunter Guild is 'If we can kill human easily then it will be piece of cake to kill the beast without trembling an eye'" he stopped for a while, trying to see the emotion of Jantan, sadly he was disappointed because he saw the other party's calm expression

He then continued "People who just wasted food and water such as prostituted lady was the least respected of human type in our opinion therefore the leader of Hunter Guild-"

"Bojog" Jantan cut his speech in the middle

Koro stopped for a moment before nodded

"Yes, Mr. Bojog, our leader commands every newcomer to perform this kind of mission. Of course it has to be performed secretly as to not arouse TUG's suspicion"

"The mission of guarding the red light district was just an umbrella that closing the truth. In fact my 15 guardian red light district missions were all murder missions. Not a beast, but humans"

"I have killed seven prostituted ladies, five disabled people, and three disabled evolvers. It was all under the task from our leader"

"He often said 'useless humans we-"

"were just burdens for humanity" Jantan continued calmly

Koro nodded and silence filled that place

He had told everything he knew

The rest he had to pray to God

On the other hand, Rika grimaced heavily. She knew that if she hadn't done the mission properly, her evolved husband would be killed

Because he had lost his arms in the fight with evolved beast a few years ago.

She was forced to join the dangerous mission eventhough being not evolver

Unfortunately her luck ran out against mutated Fang Bullet Wolf

Now she was the only one who worked for the family, her husband and her two childs.

After a few silence moments, Jantan then said

"What do you intend to do now if you were being freed?"

Koro lifted his eyebrows before he answered

"I will surrender to the TUG and explain the secrets of Hunter Guild, but as the exchange, they have to save my wife and child"

Jantan then did something unexpected

He flashed in front of Koro and picked his neck, lifting his entire body

"I told you, don't you dare to lie to me" he said coldly making Koro's eyes widened before they went back normal in an instant

"You have no wife and child. If i want, i can kill you now"

"Right--- here!!" He emphasized the two last words

"Okay okay i'm sorry. But the early sentence is true, i just want to surrender myself. I need to repent my actions and think it again" Koro said hurriedly

Jantan thought for a few seconds before he nodded.

He put back Koro who was coughing a few times.

Turning his body, Jantan then waved his hand

Freeing Rika who was confused

"I know your story, follow me"

"Koro, you follow me too"

Jantan jumped from twelve meters branch tree to the ground followed by Koro whom his hands were laid down in his side

Jantan waited for a few seconds before he remembered something, his sweat dropped

"Ah i'm sorry i forgot that you are an ordinary human, Ms. Rika" he scratched his head embarassed

The two hostages sweat dropped

"What's wrong with this guy, i thought he was scary and strong but now it looks like he doesn't bad at all" Koro thought after seeing all actions of Jantan

He saved them

He buried his colleagues

All in all, ignoring the investigation earlier he didn't even look like a bad guy after all

"If..if i met you earlier than those people, maybe..." He grimaced

"Maybe i could be a better person"
