Chapter 339 Is that Remnant of the Dark Night so Kind?
Time passed quietly in the hunting operation.
At five o'clock in the morning, Eros glanced at the sky that had turned a touch of fish belly white, and clapped his hands to end the hunting that lasted all night.
On this night, he killed thirteen ghouls. It was foreseeable that the nights in Haidaram would be much safer than the previous days.
After returning to the Special Operations Department office, looking at Peter, Vivian and others sitting in the office, Eros smiled and said:
"Did you get anything out of last night?"
After hearing Eros' question, Peter spread his hands and said in a helpless tone:
"No! There is no gain at all. My temptation has no effect on those ghouls."
Speaking of this, Peter seemed to have remembered something, and said with a mysterious face:
"But Vivian gained a lot. Not only did she kill a big ghoul, she also accidentally bumped into the mysterious remnant of the night."
After hearing this, Eros was a little surprised and looked at Vivian, who was lying on the desk with a somewhat decadent expression.
As if aware that someone was looking at her, Vivian raised her eyelids, glanced at Eros, and then continued to lie back on the desk.
Seeing this, Eros hesitated for a moment, and then said with a somewhat concerned tone:
"You're not hurt!"
Hearing Eros' slightly concerned words, Vivian's head on the table shook slightly, and she said weakly:
"I escaped in time, and the remnant of the night didn't follow me, so I wasn't injured."
After hearing the conversation between the two, David on the side touched his chin, thought about it and said:
"It does feel a little strange to talk about it,"
His meaningless words made everyone present look at him.
"What's going on?" Peter frowned, his face full of confusion.
David pursed his lips at Vivian and said, "It's about the time Vivian bumped into the remnants of the night."
"After hearing what Vivian said before, didn't we guess that the remnant of the night had a cooperative relationship with the Abyss Cult?"
"But now that I think about it carefully, I feel that there seems to be something wrong with the guess we made before."
Eros blinked. When did he cooperate with the Abyss Cult?
You are slandering!
Peter glanced at David sideways and said somewhat unhappily: "Stop being so pretentious, what exactly do you want to say?"
David immediately wanted to fight back, but after seeing Vivian looking at him, he had to give up his plan to fight back, scratched his head and said the problem he noticed with a dry smile:
"We previously thought that the remnant of the night was cooperating with the Abyss Cult because he appeared next to Vivian when she was fighting the big ghoul. I'm right!"
Peter nodded: "That's it, what next?"
After hearing this, Vivian frowned and looked thoughtful.
"We seem to have overlooked a place!"
David looked around at everyone present and said in a rather contented tone.
Seeing that no one was praising him, a trace of disappointment flashed in David's eyes, but he continued:
"According to Vivian's story, she did not completely kill the ghoul at that time."
"Is that so?"
When saying this, David gestured to Vivian.
Vivian hummed slightly, she seemed to understand what David wanted to say.
Seeing Vivian cooperating with him, David once again showed a proud look on his face:
"That is to say, when Vivian fled... well, made a strategic retreat, the big ghoul was still alive."
"But when Vivian returned, the big ghoul was already dead."
Peter rolled his eyes, wondering why he had discovered it, but this is what happened?
"Isn't it the one who was killed by the remnant of the night? Is there anything strange about this?"
Peter complained in a disgusting tone, but after saying this, Peter looked stunned, with a look of surprise on his face.
He seemed to understand what David was trying to say.
Seeing the look on Peter's face, David chuckled and said, "This is what we ignored before."
"Because the Remnants of the Night and the Abyss Cult are both cultists, we preconceptionally believed that these two cultist groups had reached cooperation."
"But now that I think about it carefully, that remnant of the night may not have cooperated with the Abyss Cult."
"The reason is simple. If they really reach some cooperation, then the remnant of the night will not kill the big ghoul."
"After all, if you want to make such a big ghoul, you need to spend a lot of resources."
"There is no need to silence that remnant of the night when we have the ability to save him."
Several people in the room were lost in thought. After a long time, Peter said with a headache:
"Looking at it this way, it seems that it is indeed not cooperation."
"But this raises another question. Since it's not cooperation, then why does that remnant of the night happen to appear there?"
"Is it to kill Vivian? But when Vivian made a strategic retreat later, he didn't pursue her."
"It can't be that he happened to be passing by! Because he happened to be passing by, he killed a ghoul?"
After hearing Peter's last cold joke, everyone looked at each other.
After a while, Peter looked at Eros and said, "Conan, what do you think about this matter?"
Eros thought for a moment, then organized his words and said tentatively:
"Could it be that the remnant of the night is also hunting ghouls?"
Hearing Eros's answer, Peter and David looked at each other and laughed out loud:
"I didn't expect Conan to be so humorous!"
"He is a remnant of the night, why is he hunting ghouls? Could it be for the ordinary people of Heidaram?"
"How can he, a cultist, be so kind!"
Eros: "..."
Get close to the face and use your ultimate, right! Okay, okay, let's play it this way, right?
"Then he might just be passing by! Killing that ghoul might just be a convenience." Eros said again.
