When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a rather unfamiliar environment.

The middle-aged man's consciousness began to gradually recover, and then he realized the unfreedom in his body, and the feeling of being tied to the rope made his memory gradually recover, and his mental state also recovered from the half-dream-like state just now.

"Caught ......"

Recalling the last figure he saw and the stun gun in the other party's hand, he sighed helplessly.

Maybe he couldn't think calmly at the time, but in retrospect, it seems that the quality of the opponent's spirits is very good, and he has also fallen into the opponent's tactics from the beginning.

Thinking of this, he sighed, then looked around and began to observe the situation around him.

First, he saw that his two companions were tied to him, still unconscious, and then he saw Karp walking towards him.

"It looks like you were the first to wake up."

Karp came up to him and looked at him with a blank expression.

"But you don't have to worry, after all, you were hit with a stun gun, and the two of them were mentally oppressed.

Food and water are poured into your mouths and eaten for you, so you don't have to worry about your health for the time being.

But when it comes to your own health problems, I think you have something else to worry about. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard Karp's words, then lowered his head and laughed.

"Listen to your tone, you've probably met that masked bastard or an Alliance hunt.

I'm glad you haven't given up on us since you learned about the situation, but you should be stuck in this quagmire like us by now, right? ”

Faced with the middle-aged man's reaction, Karp laughed.

"Unfortunately, I didn't meet the masked bastard you called me, and the Alliance's pursuit couldn't be behind me."

As he spoke, Karp's eyes turned a bright red.

"It's just that I'm a superpower, so I got the information I needed from your heads when you passed out, and that's it."

Hearing Karp say this, the middle-aged man raised his head in disbelief, and then saw Karp's smiling face that was becoming more and more happy.

"But I have to say, you guys are so lucky to have met me."

As he spoke, Karp regained his expressionless appearance before, he linked his spiritual power to Ghost's body, and then asked Ghost to use his spiritual power to stimulate the two young people next to the middle-aged man, making them both wake up.

"Luck?"

But the middle-aged man didn't care about such a thing, but looked at Karp in surprise.

Karp faced his inquiry and spread his hands helplessly.

"Yes, you met me under such circumstances, and it is possible that you were a great good person in your previous life.

You're glad you met me in the forest, not the masked bastard you call it.

The man with the mask may be the most dangerous criminal in the current alliance, who once faced the five heavenly kings with his own strength, and was even the owner of the Divine Beast Phoenix King.

In the face of such a monster, I think you should be grateful to Dade for being alive until now - and my words just happened to witness that battle, and I still know a little bit about that masked man.

In addition, I know the high-level people within the Garrison Department, so I know more or less about the three of you unlucky ghosts.

If you can continue the luck of meeting me inside Jukai, then you will survive until the Alliance's reinforcements arrive, and then you may be able to be released after a year's labor reform, relying on your merits as witnesses.

- After all, I've turned over all your memories, and you seem to be usually receiving bounty tasks, and you haven't robbed other people's elves since you transformed into real hunters, at most, you have a few records of helping evil organizations capture innocent elves, and then you also ordered the house of the city official.

If you are caught in accordance with the laws of the Alliance, you will be locked up for five years, and you will not be guilty of death no matter what, and you must know this better than me.

But if you don't meet me, but you're made a scapegoat by the masked man, you'll be killed by the masked man sooner or later. ”

Listening to Karp's words, the three men in front of him fell silent.

Whether it was the middle-aged man in the middle or the two young people beside him, of course, they all knew that although they had sinned, they did not sin to death.

It is precisely because of this that they plan to wait for the limelight to pass before turning themselves in.

If they only need to undergo a year's labor reform after becoming witnesses, of course they are willing - after all, these three people are not good people at the beginning, but they are not pure bad people, but they are just ordinary people who are a little outstanding in the ability of trainers.

They can accept that they need to be punished for doing bad things, but it is not the result they want to be silenced or something because of a momentary obsession.

Karp felt their emotions and spoke again.

"But I don't need your help now, you just need to know that if you wait for the merit to make up for your mistakes and appear as witnesses, you can be free after a year's labor reform.

If you don't want to appear as a witness, you'll be locked up for five years at most......"

At this point, Karp lowered his voice.

"But if you are caught by the masked man, you may be killed by him, because now everyone has planted the matter of stealing important things on you, and if you die, no one will know that the masked man entrusted you, let alone connect this matter to the masked man.

So, you know what I mean, right? ”

Listening to Karp's words, the three of them nodded again and again, and Karp confirmed that their emotions and hearts were not lying to themselves, and then returned to their previous state.

"So the three of you are obedient, eat when it's time to eat, and you can talk in a low voice, but don't make too much noise.

And I will try to guarantee your lives until you are worth your role as witnesses. ”

"We got it."

Karp saw that the trio, who had been calmed down and were now very honest, also turned around and walked out from the entrance to the cave.

Internal and external troubles.

First of all, the hidden dangers that exist inside are solved, and then you can think about the problem of the masked man - according to Wataru, it may take a day for reinforcements to arrive, and this day has not passed for a few hours now, and once their position is found by the masked man, then there is no chance to resist again.

So it's certain to avoid direct contact with the other person, but the premise of doing so is that it's best to determine the other person's location first - but this is too risky for a masked man.

Thinking of this, Karp frowned and thought about it, and after struggling for a while, he sighed helplessly.

“...... Do your best to wait for the destiny of heaven. ”
