When the "Nothingness" awakened and the universe was shocked, things were not peaceful on No. 3's side either.

There were constant family conflicts within the church, and relief materials for refugees were gradually reduced and withheld at every level. Otto, who had just received the medicine to suppress the epidemic, rushed back to the church. When he wanted to share the good news with Kallen, he had just stepped into the church gate when a team of soldiers and guards in chain mail surrounded him.

Otto calmed down and analyzed the situation without showing any unnecessary expression. He released his surprise and relief, but quietly put some of the potion in his hand inside.

"Young Master, this is an extraordinary period. Please don't make things difficult for everyone in the family."

He knew the captain of the guards who was in the lead. He had elderly parents and young children to take care of, and was a loyal family knight. It could be said that he was the one who had watched him grow up.

But because of this, he knew the other person's temper and personality clearly. He was not as easy to talk to as he appeared on the surface, and what he said was definitely not the whole picture.

An emergency? Is it necessary to go to such lengths to find him?

"I don't know what happened, but I'll go back with you. But can you tell me what happened on the way?"

After saying this, he smiled, took out two gold coins from his pocket, and quietly put them into his hands while searching him.

The captain remained silent, but then ended the matter hastily, waved his hand, dispersed the other people around, and returned to the family compound with Otto.

"Master, don't blame me for not reminding you. You know that things in the city have not been peaceful recently. In the past, everyone had to tighten their belts and live a tight life. It has been a long time since we had meat. This time, the higher-ups are putting in all their efforts. You... just take care of yourself."

After all, he is the young master they have watched grow up. Although he does not have the martial arts talent of the eldest young master, nor the ruthless business acumen of the second young lady, they have seen what kind of person the young master is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the conscience of the entire family.

Of course, he didn't say the whole story.

Otto soon realized the problem. What he said was missing the information he needed. It was not that he didn't know, but that he was deliberately hiding something.

The things that need to be hidden from this "waste" are probably the things he doesn't want to see...

What he didn't want to see...

Something happened to Kallen.

Otto's expression remained unchanged as he quietly replaced the medicine hidden in his sleeve with an injection of medicine containing the virus at an extremely high concentration, which could be described as a super compressed version.

However, such a large amount will not cause death in a short period of time, but it will cause a person to fall into a coma due to the rapid injection speed in a short period of time.

If the situation allowed, he didn't want to resort to this method.

Just when he was about to find a corner to fight, he came face to face with his second sister who had returned from outside the city.

At this moment, he realized that he was being followed.

He was not a professional fighter, and he had the worst talent for martial arts in his family since he was young. If his second sister wanted to hide it from him, he would never be able to detect it.

I had made careful preparations before leaving, but I didn't expect to be discovered anyway.

Otto was silently thinking about his next course of action. If he continued to use the laboratory at No. 3, sooner or later the secret there would be exposed. At that time, No. 3 might not be in any danger, but his own pharmaceutical operations would definitely be implicated and affected.

Not good...

However, he still showed the gentleness that everyone was familiar with and greeted the mean woman who was coming towards him.

"Second sister, how are you? Is your trip going smoothly?"

But his second sister obviously didn't buy his trick. She smacked her lips and felt disgusted with him. They were all family here, so she had no intention of giving him face. She said bluntly:

"It went smoothly. It would have gone even smoother if I knew what my good brother did with that dead woman outside the city."

It looked like they had already talked about it, and not much was revealed.

Otto had a rough idea in his mind, but he didn't apply it directly. He knew that the most urgent task now was not to mediate with his second sister, but to check if Kallen was okay.

Time is life. Before the top management makes the final decision, everything is hopeful.

"Don't worry, Second Sister. Today is a critical moment. You know I am weak, so I should get out of here early."

After saying that, he made a gesture to leave. When the second sister heard that her brother, who usually had no sense of presence, was vaguely anxious to leave, she certainly would not let him go easily. She came to his side and said,

"You know what? I know that damn woman won't tolerate you, but unfortunately, if you hadn't chosen to leave town today, you might have seen your good friend for the last time."

Otto's pupils contracted, but he had experienced too much since childhood and was used to reading people's faces. Although he was shocked, he didn't say anything more. There was no emotion on his face. He responded to the other party politely and slowly, and then walked towards the family courtyard with steady steps.

That was where he had lived since he was a child. After all, he was a young master with his own independent courtyard. He understood that the room, which was about the same size as the cook's cooking place, was his only free space in the world.

But even when he was in the courtyard, he still didn't feel careless, because he knew that there were many people staring at him at the moment, and the gazes from outside the courtyard were too obvious, and he could feel their naked malice even without seeing with his eyes.

Otto calmly unbuttoned his coat and hung it on the hanger at the door. At the same time, with the help of the doorman's cover and the difference in position, he hid the potion hidden in his wrist behind the door and pulled it back when the door closed.

After confirming the direction that could be seen through the window, he put the entire medicine into the trash can while pouring water, and then knocked over the kettle to the ground without hesitation.

A crisp sound came from the room, and almost the next moment, the two guards at the door broke in. Otto did not look up, but he could see that after they entered the room, their first target was himself, and the kettle on the ground was second.

It looks like it was entrusted by someone, rather than just a simple caretaker?

"It's okay, don't worry, it was just a slip of the hand."

After saying that, he fetched some cold water and soaked his arm that was splashed by the boiling water. After a while, he took the broom and dustpan next to him and cleaned the broken water bottle by himself.

He put the fragments into the trash can bit by bit, then shouted and told the person at the door to throw the garbage out.

Although the gatekeeper was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything and walked away with the garbage full of debris.

He knew that the family would dispose of the garbage in a unified manner, and at this time every day, there would be residents who could not make ends meet and would come to the family's garbage dump to recycle some of the things they needed.

This was also the secret code he and Kallen set, because he would always tie the opening of the garbage bag tightly with a red rope, so it was easy to identify.

In addition to the note I specially prepared, I believe that if she can receive it, she will definitely be able to sense the effect of this potion.

It won't be long. As long as she pushes the potion into the other person's body in front of people and the effect appears, public opinion will begin to reverse, and the church will be forced to release him, the only person who knows how to mix the potion. By then, the residents will have a reason to judge and will not have to waste their hope for no reason.

In this way, the situation stabilized.

Just as Otto was thinking this, a cloud of black smoke rose in the direction of the town, catching his attention.

He stood up suddenly and listened carefully to the faint noise and pushing sounds in the distance. He realized that the situation seemed to be getting out of control.

As he glanced sideways, several knights came and said a few words to the guard at his door. The other party's face changed, and he even ignored him in the room and rushed out.

It seems... ...it was discovered in the direction that no one wants to look.

Just before this moment, the white-haired girl Karen was about to visit this family to distribute today's food to them, and at the same time persuade this family to be careful, and ask whether the medicine he had taken recently was effective.

Although they were not veterans, Kallen and Sakura, who had a keen intuition about danger, felt instinctively that something was wrong because there was a faint smell of blood coming from the cracks in the house.

"Granny Trist? Aunt Grian? Is anyone there?"

Kallen remembered this family, they were one of the best families in the whole town, because Grandma Emerald gave birth to a good son, who was an old hunter who was one of the best in the whole town, and Aunt Garion also knew a lot of disassembly tools and repair work, so the life of the two could be said to be quite comfortable.

Just as Kallen was about to push the door open, the white bones, still covered in blood, pierced through the door. If Sakura hadn't pulled the body in time, it would have almost pierced Kallen who was coming towards her.

As the bone hand retracted, Kallen saw through the small doorway...

The ground was dry, and there seemed to be the body of a middle-aged woman whose blood had been sucked dry. There was also a body that was so thin that it was barely visible as bones, which was obviously abnormal, and a hideous eye with bloodshot eyes.

There was half an eye hanging on her rotten and withered face that looked like a plant, which looked very scary.

She couldn't make a sound, but the way she tried to make a sound was more terrifying than anything else she did.

There were also quite a few people on the street. As the door was blown open by the wind, a scene that looked like hell on earth appeared inside, causing a riot.

Especially when the severely deformed Granny Tristana walked out of the door, speaking in a strange hoarse voice but unable to utter a single word, they instantly scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in panic.

And Kallen also took out her own weapon, a flaming sword blessed by the church.

She also understood that now that Grandma Tristana was seen in this state, the already fragile situation became even more grim...
