Chereads / The World Is Falling / Chapter 34 - The Culprit

Chapter 34 - The Culprit

From afternoon to evening, I also had dinner, which I did when changing from afternoon to evening; I prepared for the first day of patrol in the central area.

"Wein in the center with Narisa in position." I sent news to the others as a sign that I was ready to start this patrol, I was in an area where there weren't many buildings because the academy building for that class was in the west facing east while the center was only some parts of the canteen, inventory building and some parts of the garden.

It's a bit dark here but the room is quite open, so it's easier to see the surroundings even though darkness covers the surroundings and only the street lights illuminate it.

"Accepted. We from the East are already in position." A reply came back from a team that had been positioned in the east and it was some areas that were a bit full of useless buildings.

"The center is the smallest, right? So should we separate too?" Narisa asked me in her sleepy helpless voice.

"We will not be separated during patrol because we are assigned to help areas that are suspicious or have done dangerous things," I answered.

The two of us stood on top of the inventory building. Narisa sat at the end of the fairly tall building, and I stood while feeling the cool winter breeze.

Our aim is to help, so basically, the central area is not for patrol purposes because there is nothing that can be suspected in this empty location in contrast to other more dangerous areas.

This is because we are in the middle of another area, making it easier for us to go to the area that shows suspicion.

"We'll just stand from above," I said a little hoarse because I didn't drink enough after eating earlier.

"What? isn't this very boring?" Narisa refused, but what could she do and just accepted it slowly?

Some from other regions also sent information that they would start patrols. For now, we are under the direct control of Academy Head Claudia.

"So, you're dating Loraine?" she asked in this silence.

I was surprised to hear that it made some of the water in my mouth choke when I tried to drink the water from the bottle I had prepared.

"Ummm..." I didn't answer her, trying to make her joke for now.

"What's with that answer?" She chuckled slightly and continued, "If that's all, I think you're really her lover."

"What if not?" My answer was a little annoying.

"I think she will be taken by another man." The answer both teased and mocked me.

"Will anyone dare to snatch it from me?" I said a little more arrogant than usual.

From the silence of the sound, I felt that the sound transmission was sent more quickly to Narisa's device when I heard a ringing sound in this device until I heard a familiar voice.

"We here in the western region got someone who looked strange." Finally, the sound managed to come out through my device's output device.

"Are we going to help them?" Narisa stood up from her relaxed seat and started walking towards the west immediately to see something from up here waiting for orders from Academy Head Claudia.

"Wait until he sends a new signal, I think it's the missing student." My answer was full of confusion and I think guesses about missing students were already starting to appear there.

Our tool can also contact the Head of Claudia Academy, so you don't need to think too much, and this tool can also be used for quite long distances.

For now, there is still silence around me, and some ringing can be heard due to using this tool, but it gives me the reward of sharper hearing.

"Narisa! Go west." I said after thinking about several possibilities and I think it was a trap deliberately set to eliminate the strongest after they realized that there were patrols at night.

I don't know how they will be aware of this patrol and they won't be a problem tonight for sure.

Without further ado, Narisa jumped from the three-story building landed with a gust of wind, and ran as fast as she could towards the west she had mapped.

Just a few seconds when Narisa was sent to the west I heard the whistle of an arrow that was stalking me and flying towards me.

The sound made me confused because the ringing in my ears was very disturbing, and there were also lots of whistling sounds in this silence, which made me think that there were lots of children heading towards me.

Forcing me to use the Monarch Realm inside my body which is still in pain.

I turned my head around and looked in all directions, but there was no sign, and the arrow should have landed on my body within this time.

I think this is a hallucination created by one of them or this is a transmission from this device that reaches my ears through the speaker output.

"The Eastern Region sees a mysterious gathering!" The voice was a little calm, but from what was said, they looked uneasy.

Putting aside the arrows that didn't arrive, I intended to help in the east, but I wanted to ask Narisa to return to the center for no apparent reason.

I didn't attract Narisa and postponed going to the Eastern region and chose to just monitor from above.

"What about North and South?" I asked to make sure.

Making sure there were no anomalies in other areas made me cancel helping the East because I had already deployed Narisa to the West.

"Wein, this is Claudia Doreion, I ask you to stay at the center until the latest orders I give." The output made a soft sound before I pressed it and answered OK, command accepted.

Damn, I think I'm too hasty with this; they won't rush into this sabotage either, right?

"The north is safe for now." Then, the South also replied with the same message. The South is safe for now.

My body scolded me for not fully healing and seemed to be asking me to rest immediately.

I was holding my right arm, which was throbbing in pain rhythmically, which was getting more painful as time went by.

"I saw a fireball flying in the sky!" The voice surprised me because it suddenly gave information without any preamble like a report or something like that.

Tonight at 21.00, thirty minutes before our patrol ended and we could return to our room to rest, there was a report from the north that there was a fireball flying in the sky.

Together with the fireball from the south, it was reported that there was a creature like an undead moving helplessly without a purpose.

In four incidents in one scenario, I tried to contact Narisa, who I thought had arrived in the west a few minutes ago.

"Narisa, how is it there?" I asked her.

Not long after I sent the transmission, she immediately replied safely and quietly, "There are dozens of missing children here and we are evacuating them." She replied then turned off the connection.

Kylo and Alain can be said to be strong, is their plan to busy areas controlled by strong people and sabotage other areas first?

"Wein, the location has been found. I order you to head north." Academy Head Claudia spoke once again to give her orders as she said. I am allowed to move at this command.
