Chapter 250 – Who has the courage to do something like this?
After only a few minutes with her hand dragging on the floor, Anneorah seemed to have discovered something. She was wide-eyed as she looked at me, but soon after she closed her eyes.
"What did you find?" I asked curiously since her reaction had been so strange.
"I found a magic power, but the owner of the magic power already..." Anneorah looked like she didn't want to finish her sentence.
"Is that person already dead? Couldn't it be one of the adventurers who died during the attack?" I asked as I felt my body start to sweat. It couldn't be Larissa's friend's magic, could it?
"I can't tell, but we'll find out if we follow him," Anneorah said as she stood up and started walking to the alley that was next to the adventurer's guild, then followed behind her.
"But didn't you say the person is already dead? Can you track her anyway?" I never knew exactly how her magic worked, so I was very surprised by this.
"Even if the person is dead, her magic power will still be around for a long time, at least to the place where she was killed." She said quietly as she continued walking down the alleys.
"I see." I continued to follow Anneorah who was walking through the alleys of the city.
By the time I realized, we had walked for several minutes, we were in a completely strange place that I had never been before. I had never been all over the city before even though I had lived here for years.
This was one of the places I had never visited.
They were maze-like alleys and it was completely dirty, it was like home to a lot of drunks and beggars. We were walking around like it was no big deal, we even found some beggars lying in the corners of the alleys.
But Anneorah didn't seem shaken and continued walking without caring about their presence.
We walked for a few more long minutes. If this was Lincy's trail, how did she end up in this place? I couldn't stop thinking about this as I walked through this maze of buildings.
After we walked for a while longer, an unbearable stench began to waft over us. It hurt my nose.
"Damn, what is that?" In addition to the stench, there was a large number of mosquitoes and flies flying everywhere.
"Looks like we've arrived," Anneorah said as she picked up her clothes and used them to plug her nose. The stench was so bad that I was about to throw up right there.
Turning down the hallway and coming to a dead end.
Bleeeh~~
I quickly turned my face away and started throwing up right there, "Haa~~ What the fuck?" I turned to look at it again, it was like a scene from hell itself in front of me.
I looked at Anneorah and she was looking at that scene in horror. She was almost starting to cry.
It was sickening.
At the end of the alley, there she was, Larissa's friend. No, I could not recognize her beautiful appearance that I had been told before.
She had no hair on her head, and her flesh was rotten.
The only thing that allowed me to identify that this was Larissa's friend, was an image of Larissa hanging next to her body.
She was also without her clothes, and her private parts and most of her belly already looked like they had been eaten by worms.
It was one of the most disgusting things I had seen.
"Anneorah, let's get out of here right away." Anneorah seemed to be feeling sick.
That girl's body stuck to the wall as if it were just a piece of meat displayed in a butcher shop...
"Who did such a thing?" She had started to cry.
"I don't know, but we need to get out of here, all right? Let's get someone to collect her body!" I said and then hugged her and walked away from there practically carrying her in my arms.
The scene of that body wouldn't leave my mind. How could someone not find out about that body before? The stench was unbearable.
And what did Larissa see in her dream? That girl had seen horrible things and I couldn't believe her.
I felt like crying right now. I honestly wasn't prepared for this scene.
'I could imagine that she would be dead, but what human being can do something like that to such a kind girl?' I felt a great tightening in my chest the moment I thought that.
Even though I don't have much contact with Lincy, I can't forgive anyone who did this to a girl like her.
####
We walked away from that place and arrived at my house. As soon as we arrived, Anneorah ran into the bathroom and I followed her, but I could only hear her vomiting endlessly inside.
Was she holding herself back before?
'Man, this is horrible.' I can't let Larissa know how Lincy's body was, I can't let her know about this.
So I ran into the room where Larissa was and called for Suzan. When I entered the room, Suzan was trying to feed Larissa who refused to eat, she was just like before, an unrecognizable person.
I can't imagine how she would look if she found out about her friend.
"Suzan, can you come here for a moment?" Suzan seemed to have figured out what was happening.
So we went downstairs where we could talk without Larissa hearing.
"What is it? Something happened, didn't it?"
"..."
"Tell me!"
"Don't say anything about this to Larissa, but... We just found her friend's body."
"You can't be serious. So that nightmare was real?" Suzan stood with her mouth open looking surprised.
"I don't know, but the state the body was in, who did this to her-"
"I don't want to know about those details, please..." Suzan was looking at me sadly.
After that, Suzan left and went directly to the second floor.
