"He seemed a little stupid."
Bronya was absolutely right. Gray Serpent's current behavior did seem a little stupid.
As for why—
Bronya felt it had something to do with the Jie Mie Greatsword.
Just moments ago, Bronya had planted a tracking device on the humanoid monster. She was now speaking with Superintendent Zhou, providing intelligence on the incident.
"You went straight to the place you suspected?"
"Did you cause any wanton destruction?"
Superintendent Zhou was somewhat surprised, but not particularly baffled. He seemed to have more than enough reason for it.
Valkyries were just like that.
If they could charge in headfirst, they would never carefully think things through. That was the Valkyries' rule for survival.
Bronya explained the situation. "We're in the top-floor conference room of Hexie Pharmaceuticals. Yu Borong transformed into a monster. There are seven corpses here. Six were killed by firearms, while the other was torn apart by the monster. Judging from the clothing, he was the target's offspring, over sixty years old."
Superintendent Zhou asked, "What was the motive?"
"Old age, approaching death, fear of dying. A normal situation."
"..."
Superintendent Zhou recalled that earth-shaking roar from earlier and simply could not see anything normal about what she had said.
How was this normal?!
"We will eliminate the target threatening the city's safety. Please await good news."
Bronya hung up.
Zhao Bai applauded. "Bronya, you sounded so professional."
"Cut the nonsense. Hurry up and chase it."
According to the coordinates sent back by the tracker, the monster's destination was actually the headquarters building of Shencheng Medicine. Bronya did not quite understand this result.
Was it trying to smear its competitor one last time before dying?
Was it really that desperate?
