Chapter 20 Devil Incarnate



The Slum District F was completely different from District G to Z because it didn't look like a shithole but was a decent place with prosperity.

Not only were the BOD patients here minimal, but there weren't any deviants or thugs, and everyone lived peacefully under law enforcement.

However, today the normally peaceful cabinet of Slum District F was filled with gloomy faces.

A wizened face old man with a bald head and a stern look was seated in the head chair around a long rectangular table. He had a terrifying status even if one looked at the scale of the entire Slum District.

He was a Rank-5 Officer, District Commissioner of District-F, Heath!

On Heath's right was a burly middle-aged man with a dusky complexion and an intense look on his face. He was a Rank-4 Officer and the only Deputy District Commissioner under Heath, Terrel!

The other people sitting around the table were either Rank-3 Assistance District Commissioners or somewhat important Rank-2 District Ministers.

Usually, Rank-2 officers didn't have the right to sit among such figures, but today they were all summoned post hastily under Commissioner Heath's notice.

Deputy Commissioner Terrel stood up from his chair, drawing everything's focus on himself. He wore a grave face as he uttered in his deep voice, "Gentlemen, as some, you should've already guessed why this summit was called the Commissioner. As for those who didn't know, I will briefly summarize the impending situation we are facing!"

Everyone's faces turned solemn as they attentively listened. Especially those low-ranking officers who had been given a chance to attend such a meeting.

On the other hand, Heath remained expressionless as he was silently sitting peacefully in his position.

Deputy Commissioner Terrel grimly stated, "There had been terrifying fatalities recently. We don't know when it started, but we started talking noticed a week ago when District-K's entire law enforcer unit had been killed. And then three days ago, District-H's staff has also been killed. Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

"After further investigating, we discovered that such incidents had been happening in the lower districts. It started over two months ago if we talk about the time when those officers took notice.

"But sadly, the damaged was already done, and to escape punishment, those fools even try to hide such incidents!" Deputy Commissioner Terrel's face was contorted with anger when he said those words.

"Deputy Commissioner, how much damage are we talking about?" An elder asked with a somewhat apprehensive expression.

However, instead of Deputy Commissioner Terrel, Commissioner Heath opened his mouth and revealed in his cold raspy voice, "If we count the fatalities of registered law enforcement department, then it's over 500. But if we combine them with the huge number of missing BOD cripples, then it is over 5000, and this is just a humble estimate on our part!"

Everyone's faces turned pale when they heard this terrifying number, and they felt a chill run down everyone's spine.

"H-how could this have happened!?" A rank three officer asked dryly.

Deputy Commissioner Terrel sighed ruefully with an ashen expression, "This is the result of our own negligence. I know everyone here knew just how terrible the living situations are in the lower districts. Most importantly, our own department is to blame since they didn't pay attention or tend to those BOD's cripples.

"If I tell you what we found after our recent investigation, I'm afraid you won't even be able to stomach it. All in all, this needs to stop post hastily, which is the order from higher command.

"Even District A had taken notice of this event, and now they are sending their Ace Unit to detain the culprit. Districts B, C, and D will also participate in the operation.

"That's why you were all summoned to this meeting. We have decided to send ten teams consisting of a hundred rank-1 officers and two hundred rank-0 officers, and they will be led by a rank-3 officer appointed as a team caption!"

No one spoke as they knew it was quite normal to take such action since it was probably the biggest Killing Spree to have been recorded in the Slum District's entire history.

Furthermore, they still don't know just who the killer was or how someone could have killed so many people without getting noticed. Most importantly, whoever did this wasn't anything close to humane!

Deputy Commissioner Terrel continues since no one opposes or has any opinion. Because even he was shaken by such a case, and he was one of those who had a sense of justice.

Even if he didn't care about those BOD's cripples, he deeply cared about the law, and the name of the fatalities was simply a slap on their faces.

Whoever the killer was, he simply didn't care who he was killing. He was completely fearless of the law, which was completely unacceptable to Deputy Commissioner Terrel!

"According to our investigation, we have discovered a pattern. The very first incident was recorded in District V when two officers vanished and also BOD gangs. Then the very next day, the same thing happened in District U the same pattern.

"The killer or killers didn't stay more than two or a maximum of four days in a single district before they kill their way toward a higher district.

"The recent event in District K points out another crucial piece of information. According to the District Minister of District L, he had informed about the incident in the District L to the District Minster of District K in a timely manner.

"However, despite District K's minister taking noticed and his preparation, he and all his men got annihilated. So, we could assume that there are multiple killers, and they are heavily armed…!"

Deputy Commissioner Terrel then briefed them about their entire operation plan, and the meeting took place for hours before everyone left the meeting room with exhausted yet solemn expressions.

Only Heath and Terrel have remained.

Terrel looked at Heath, who hadn't spoken in the entire meeting after he revealed the kill count, and asked with an uncertain expression, "Are you sure it is wise not to tell them about the vanishing corpses, and there might be a Unique behind these killings?"

Heath's cold expression broke into a helpless one as he didn't look as dignified as before and was only a fragile old man.

He sighed ruefully and stated, "It was an order from the High Command. This will only cause panic if they discover that might be a Unique involved.

"We lost contact with the outside world over a decade ago. We are now abandoned by them and can only depend on ourselves."

A hint of terror flashed past his old eyes, "I hope this is all just but a terrible conjecture because if it isn't, then we are facing a true… Devil Incarnate!"
