As for the emergence of the Decaying Crimson Sect, the Order Bureau's reaction wasn't particularly surprised. The recent string of Night Race incidents had already left them run ragged; now the Decaying Crimson Sect was getting active—at most, it was just one more headache in a pile of them.
"The Decaying Crimson Sect? Is it connected to what happened in Gray Stone Town before?" Bologue asked directly.
Lebius said, "It's still unclear for now. At present, all we've found are traces. They haven't made any major moves yet."
Bologue shook his head. "Their showing up at all already counts as a major move."
The Order Bureau still held a certain degree of control within the Rhine Alliance Territory. In the past, these heretical groups would keep their heads down, hiding their tracks to avoid drawing the Order Bureau's attention. But now they were popping up one after another, like vultures circling over people's heads.
"Times are different now."
