"Work together?"
Oaker repeated Kieran's words softly.
Oaker's wisdom allowed him to guess what Kieran was trying to do after he reacted to the situation.
Kieran was even more direct.
"Yes, work together!
A normal person like you wouldn't be able to do anything against the fiends but you have the advantage from birth, you can get the news at the first moment.
All you have to do is tell me the news! "
Kieran stated what he wanted: get the news about the fiends outside of Saint Brilliant High School.
More precisely, he would receive more Sub Quests.
Judging from the way the main mission worked, no matter how many fiends Kieran killed in Saint Brilliant High School, it would be counted into the main mission.
The more fiends he killed, the higher his final dungeon rating would be.
But …
Kieran didn't experience this kind of main mission before, he didn't have any reference, so he couldn't calculate how much his rating would increase every time he completed an event.
More importantly, how many fiends would there be in Saint Brilliant High School?
The figure in the mist last night might seem like a lot but without the cover of the mist, there were only three to four of them.
Kieran had already killed two of them today.
There weren't many left.
Perhaps the unusual situation in Saint Brilliant High School would attract more fiends but who knew what other accidents would happen?
Kieran was always careful and vigilant against things he wasn't sure of.
So, he thought he should take the initiative and open up a sub mission in order to get a higher dungeon rating.
"Why?
I insist on my point, you aren't a passionate person who takes the initiative to help others, so what are you doing this for? Please give me a reason!
Otherwise, even if I die, I won't help you! "
Oaker straightened his body and said with a serious face.
It seemed like he wasn't joking.
Perhaps his impulsiveness and hot-bloodedness had been stripped away and all that was left was the wisdom to judge the situation but the persistence in his heart hadn't decreased.
The moment Kieran laid eyes on Oaker, he knew it was him.
Kieran saw the shadow of his good friend, Schmidt, in Kieran.
He was eccentric, intuitive, and capable, but for various reasons, he was stuck in a certain position, unable to advance any further until he retired.
He might even face punishment that he shouldn't have. Then, he would have to use his past achievements to make up for this mistake.
Kieran didn't know if he didn't appear in [The Shaman's Partner] dungeon, would his native friend end up like the inspector before him?
But he knew how to deal with such a person.
"You need a more convincing candidate."
Kieran looked at the door as he spoke.
Creak.
The door opened.
When Oaker saw Lee, a Funeral Society member in mourning attire and a mask, walk in, his first reaction was to pull out his gun.
More than half of it was strange, and the appearance of Li was even stranger. It was truly alarming.
"Sorry, I should have been more polite!"
"It's just that some accidents happened, forcing me to act recklessly!"
Lee only took a glance at Oaker's gun before placing his attention on Kieran.
What caught Kieran's attention was the change in Lee's attitude.
Although the man was very courteous when they met last night, the pride in his bones was very obvious. Even when he mentioned the unusual incident in Saint Brilliant High School, all he did was remind Kieran to stay vigilant and said that they would send someone over to deal with the matter.
Kieran remembered that Lee's tone was very firm.
But now?
Lee was slightly panicked.
"What happened?"
Kieran was curious.
"The Huntsman who came to Saint Brilliant to deal with the incident was killed. On his way here, he was torn into a pile of minced meat!"
Lee tried his best to keep his voice calm, not allowing the trembling to affect his words.
"Torn into minced meat?
Is it the dismembered body case that happened in the outskirts early this morning? "
Before Kieran could speak, Oaker said as he thought of something.
"Yes."
Lee nodded.
Instantly, Oaker gasped a cold breath.
"So this is a fiend?"
Whenever he thought about the horrifying scene back then, Oaker felt uncomfortable all over his body.
His long career as a detective allowed Oaker to think he wouldn't be shocked anymore but the incident that happened just now and the incident that happened in the middle of the night was an exception.
Of course, both incidents could be categorized as a single incident now.
"Then what about you?"
Kieran didn't care about Oaker's mutterings, he looked at Lee and pretended to be confused.
Deep down in his heart, Kieran already knew why Lee was here.
Help!
The reinforcements were killed before they even appeared and it was obvious that the Funeral Society member before him was thrown into a panic.
Coincidentally, a decent person appeared in Lee's turf and could replace the backup. As long as Lee's brain wasn't damaged, he would know what he should do.
Things were just as Kieran expected.
Lee straightened his body and said as if he was making an announcement.
"On behalf of Flame City Funeral Society branch, I would like to extend a special request for investigation assistance to Lord Bird of Death. You can reject it but if you accept, we will give you double the usual reward!
I personally hope that you can accept this mission. After all, a Fiend Fiend and Flurry Blade Ghost that could easily kill a Puppet Fiend and a Flurry Blade Ghost is already a Fiend Hunter. You can totally complete the investigation and I will give you the reward for clearing the Puppet Fiend and Flurry Blade Ghost later! "
After a slight pause, the man added.
"As expected!"
Kieran nodded in his heart before he laughed coldly.
Lee still maintained some of his habits.
Kieran was quite confident that if he agreed to assist in the investigation and if he rejected, the rewards for clearing the Puppet Fiend and Flurry Blade Ghost would definitely be two different levels.
"Even in times like this, he still doesn't forget to play with his own power …"
"What a rotten bastard!"
Kieran commented in his heart before quietly looking at the inspector who had a disgusted look on his face.
It seemed like Oaker had discovered something about the Funeral Society member that he hated the most.
"Do you understand now?"
"More rewards is the reason why I want to work with you.
Are you willing to work with me? "
Kieran asked again.
"Very well!"
Taking in a deep breath, Oaker nodded.
"Then, let us begin our first collaboration!"
"The dismembered body case that happened early this morning must have given you a headache right, Oaker?"
Kieran said with a smile.
"Lord Bird of Death, please wait for a moment, I will bring you your reward right away!"
Lee was overjoyed and bowed.
Kieran was smiling as well.
A line of words appeared in his vision.
[Sub Mission Discovered: The Assassinated Supporter]
[Assassinated Supporter: The Fiend Hunter sent by the Funeral Society has been killed, you need to find the culprit. It will affect the attitude of the Funeral Society, the surface world and other forces towards you.]
…
It was a simple note but it had a deeper meaning.
More importantly, Kieran found one of the key points to break through the situation.
