"Is Xilin's corpse inside?"
Bologue rushed to the iron coffin and immediately assessed the situation.
"Yes," Aimou nodded.
"Are there only a few of you here?"
Bologue glanced at the people escorting the iron coffin, surprised that there were only three of them. Mamo indeed was a Seeker of Glory, but he was too old and merely a researcher. Furthermore, they had just drained all their strength reducing the impact of the decay epidemic.
If it weren't for Lebius's confrontation, Red Dog alone would have been able to seize the iron coffin.
"Originally, the deputy director was accompanying us."
Balder lowered his voice, as if wary of eavesdropping apparitions, "But upon arrival, he suddenly disappeared, only instructing us to continue the operation."
"So, the deputy director is likely nearby?"
The thought excited Bologue. Given the outbreak of the decay epidemic and the Shadow King's reaction at the time, all current events appeared to be a trap to assassinate the First Seat.
