Xu Yue had gained a "powerful" summoned beast. As a man who believed in Winning Hearts Through Virtue, he naturally did not want to take such a huge advantage of his teammates.
So, as repayment, he had previously provided them with a piece of information that had not yet circulated through the space.
The "source" of the information was something Xu Yue had learned by chance after joining the Slane Theocracy's Six-Colored Holy Scripture through his Comprehensive Reputation, so it was highly reliable.
Based on the intelligence, they could roughly conclude that the Undead Calamity in Yharnam had most likely been caused by an artifact called the Orb of Death.
The orb's holder was Kagitt, a member of Ziranon, a well-known organization that controlled the undead.
He had supposedly lurked in Yharnam for many years. Putting everything together, they could determine that he was behind the ritual for that Undead Calamity.
The prospective big shots were quite interested in a treasure capable of causing such terrifying upheaval. Judging from its description and the disturbances it had triggered, it should be exactly the sort of thing they could handle.
It was only because the initial attack had come too suddenly, and the two opponents had been too powerful, that they had failed to react in time.
Now that they had heard Xu Yue's reminder, they all suddenly understood. Right—one of the two attackers had used necromancy!
That was it. Since the Orb of Death was an undead artifact, it likely had restrictions on its use. In that case, their reason for capturing that naturally gifted youth made perfect sense.
"Damn it! So they captured him, which means they might launch the Undead Calamity ahead of schedule today?"
Quan Hu, who had narrowly escaped death, could not help revealing an annoyed expression.
