System vs Rebirth

As expected of the members of the Demon Extermination Squad’s Zero Squad, once they learned the way Septa moved around to clear the hallway, they refined their movements. The previous awkward movement was gone, replaced by a refined and precise movement, allowing them to work faster than Septa’s original prediction.

Noel thought that the people in the Demon Relief Squad’s Zero Squad were already outstanding. They could accomplish almost everything, and their fighting power couldn’t be underestimated.

However, he realized that in terms of a job like this, they couldn’t defeat the Demon Extermination Squad at all. Even Stella, the most efficient person in the squad, was completely defeated by these three.

That was why Noel couldn’t help but feel amazed by their performance and wondered what kind of training they had in order to be that good.

Noel didn’t realize that the people from his squad might not be the best at fighting, but they were certainly the best in anything related to structure.

That was the reason why he was even selected by Septa in the first place.

Noel was simply not satisfied with his current power and wanted to get more.

So, whenever the three people from the Demon Extermination Squad took action, he would be there to observe them.

His gaze was so intense that the three felt it easily. But they didn’t say anything since it didn’t do any harm. They simply continued their task and reached the next room within fifteen minutes from the expected twenty to twenty-five minutes.

Inside the new room, they found other machines and a lot of pills. Some pills even fell to the ground, while some seemed to have been eaten.

After that, they continued to the next room and found a lot of containers falling to the ground. It seemed that the demons had completely ransacked the entire room.

The container didn’t seem to be spilling any liquid, considering the floor looked clean.

Since they had reached the third room, Noel finally confirmed their suspicion.

He gathered the entire group and wrote on his note.

“I believe everyone has reached the same conclusion just from looking at the drugs scattered around the second room, as well as the containers on the ground here.”

“This place is indeed a place where people are getting treated. I don’t understand why they need a lot of room like this, but I’m sure that they offer a different treatment.”

“If I’m not wrong, the people above us will find a lot of rooms similar to this. It must be the rooms where the patients are allowed to rest.”

“I have seen a similar room from the surveillance spots, so I think I’m correct about this one.”

After writing those words, Noel looked at all of them as if asking them whether they had an objection to the conclusion.

No one raised an objection. Even though they weren’t as smart as Noel or an expert in structure, they could understand Noel’s explanation before that deduction. They had arrived at the same conclusion.

“In that case, I’ll give you the conclusion. If you have gone to the capital, you should be aware of this building. It’s a place where you treat a lot of people, but all these pills should be in the pharmacy. I believe this place is a combination of a health center and a pharmacy.”

“Now that we are aware of what kind of facility this building is, we should decide what to do next.”

The three members of the Demon Extermination Squad didn’t hesitate to look at Septa. He was the strongest and currently their leader, so he should decide their next move.

Septa thought for a moment. Although he wanted to praise Noel for his ability, he couldn’t open his mouth yet. He also had to come up with their next plan.

After two minutes, Septa wrote down his idea.

“No matter how good the current situation is, there is no way it will go according to our plan during the expedition. That’s how dangerous the expedition is.” ．

“Now that we have understood the identity of this facility, we can change our plan. Instead of dealing with the demons bit by bit while exploring like this, we should find a way to eliminate a lot of demons at once, making things a bit easier on our side.”

“Of course, if it’s possible, we want to kill any Superior Demon in this place. But even at this time, not a single of them has been found. Considering the number of demons, there should be at least three Superior Demons around us.”

“And if you take a look at the containers on the ground, it’s clear that someone must have eaten the drugs here. The demons must be the culprit.”

“The reason why the expeditions are dangerous was because the items inside the building itself can strengthen the demons. That’s why the demons who eat the drugs here must have mutated and become stronger. They would be Peak Level Demons if not Superior Demons by now.”

“That’s why we should regroup with the others and thin out their number before continuing our exploration. And I think we will hear a lot of ruckuses not long after this if my prediction is correct…” Septa stopped for a moment as if falling into deep thought.

After a while, he crossed the last sentence as if he wanted to take back those words. The only one who understood his meaning might be Noel.

As expected, Septa was actually trying to investigate the Plant Lord and currently he had some suspicion.

He must want to end the exploration for this group as quickly as possible so that he could catch the Plant Lord in action.

Septa hurriedly corrected his words.

“We’ll leave the building and return to the base. You guys are to escort Iadre to the base while I’ll stay here after showing you the path. I’ll inform the rest of the people to regroup. It’s easier for me to move around by myself as the captain of the Demon Beholder Squad, so I hope you can follow my instruction.”
