Finks!

The kindly old prison doctor, who had been quite skilled at medicine, was the new leader of the Herchy Cult?!

Had he joined the Herchy Cult from the beginning, another hidden agent placed by Gilfen Herchy whom Qin Ran had failed to discover?

Or had circumstances forced him to join, only for him to become its leader by chance?

The two questions kept surfacing in Qin Ran's mind.

Qin Ran had not slept a wink all night.

He had kept turning over the possibility that these events were connected.

After all, Finks had still been on Alcatraz Island when Qin Ran left the dungeon world.

And according to Nikelei, Alcatraz Island had become the Dark Star Society's private preserve. No one else was allowed to touch it.

The same applied to the Night Demon Society, which was trying to investigate the island.

The Night Demon Society, with its utter lack of restraint, was undoubtedly the more dangerous of the two.
