Qin Fang's expression immediately darkened. A large number of Anjin masters had mysteriously disappeared from the Government Office Entrance. This was not good news.
The attitudes of the County Magistrate and the Captain of the True Martial Guard were also unclear.
'From the looks of it, they seem to have already detected the existence of the Mysterious Power. That's why they're so wary of all Anjin masters. They must have uncovered something.'
'But... it's also possible this is just a cover-up.'
'After all, those two are the ones who instigated the current situation.'
...But the more Qin Fang thought about it, the more he felt the former possibility was more likely.
'After all, if the Mysterious Power already had the County Magistrate and military authority in its grasp, what I'd be seeing upon entering the city would be monsters roaming everywhere, hunting people to eat—not this current situation of control and slaughter clearly targeting "consumables."'
