They hadn't resisted, right?
"Rosalia, was anyone hurt?" Lin Nai immediately asked.
Rosalia shook her head. "N-No... Instead, they were taken down by a few people without putting up any resistance at all."
Lin Nai: ??????
Huh?
Oh, right.
This was a group that had come out of a concentration camp.
Wait...
Without any resistance?
They?
"The leader was a guy wearing a mask! He was wrapped up so tightly that you couldn't make out anything about him at all!"
"Whenever the others wanted to attack us, that person would... would kill them first..."
Rosalia's voice grew quieter and quieter. It was simply too strange.
What kind of boss killed his own subordinates?
Yet that masked man had done exactly that.
The more Lin Nai listened, the more something felt off. "Did Seele resist at the time?"
"Seele did resist! It was just... just useless."
"..."
Lin Nai understood. That group most likely hadn't harbored much hostility, which was why that power hadn't been triggered.
They probably weren't the group that had kidnapped Seele in the original story.
When Rosalia said their leader wore a mask and was wrapped up from head to toe, Lin Nai had already more or less figured it out.
It was that bastard Gray Snake!
He had no idea whether that guy wanted Seele to join World Serpent or intended to use Seele to force him into World Serpent.
The orders of that person, that's all
Lin Nai carried Rosalia and led the others into the orphanage.
Corpses lay scattered across the ground.
They were all unidentified people dressed in black.
One group of children was trembling in fear.
Another group held weapons and stood in front of the frightened children. They stared at the corpses with sharp, fierce eyes.
Lin Nai put Rosalia down
