Chapter 154 - Taking Prisoners



I checked on several other evacuation spots and see that the agents over there can handle everything well. I just told them if there are any other suspicious people other than those who has HGB in their mouth. Then I left everything to them.

It\'s good to have people who are smart and experienced as allies. While I\'m just one man from the future who has terrible memory, other people can cover me in anything I\'m lacking.

As of now, the monsters that tried to enter the city are only weak monsters like boars, and goblins. But later, more monsters will come. No matter how much hunters we have protecting this city, it will still be difficult for them to block the gate. Casualties are unavoidable.

And I\'m being pessimistic again. Enough, me! Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts!

Our plan worked. Candy managed to capture the governor. The monsters stopped attacking and most of them are either dead or retreating. Then the next day, Shirley will make a speech and tell everyone about the cult\'s plan of destroying the world.

Then everyone will unite against the cult. Albert will try to contact other countries and make an alliance against the cult. And then I can rest easy and just leave everything to Albert since the cult will be busy protecting themselves from the joint attack of multiple countries.

That\'s the ideal future I wished. And I still hope there will still be a better future than that. That\'s why I have to believe in everyone and make sure we stop the stampede and captured the governor.

I looked at Candy\'s group who are responsible in capturing the governor. They are still waiting for the right moment to attack. Since he is being guarded as well, it\'s difficult for Candy and the others to attack right away. And I also told them about expert level mages can detect presences, so they are a bit far from the governor.

After seeing Candy and the others still didn\'t move and stay in their hiding spots, I left to find another separated cult members to kill.

I found one entering empty houses and stole the valuables inside. I guess this is a good time for thieves to rob into someone\'s house. Some actually entered a house with someone still in it, but they were killed because the owner of the house has prepared a trap and attacked the robbers from behind.

And this one I found is pretty strong. He should be an intermediate ice mage. Some of the houses he enters have some people inside. But he didn\'t kill them and just took the valuables.

I don\'t know why he didn\'t kill anyone, but I don\'t care. I\'ll just kill him right away like I did to the others.

"Roy, remember to not just kill anyone you see. Capturing them and pluck out the explosive devices from their mouth is better. Wendy already told you where to put the prisoners, right?" Victoria reminded me again to not kill everyone.

"But we don\'t have any other Magic Restriction tools, right? The only one we have is with Candy for the governor\'s use only. If we captured them, they will just blast themselves out."

"I have a plan for that. Let\'s capture him first and I\'ll show you how."

Curious about Victoria\'s plan, I tried to capture the guy. Does she want me to dislocate his joints? That might be a good plan.

While I\'m above the rooftop of a building, I aimed Victoria who has transformed into a grappling hook at the man.

"Aaaah!"

The hook struck his shoulder and pierced it. Then I reel him up to the roof as he screamed in pain.

"You dare!"

"I dare. Go sleep."

I knock him out of his consciousness and bring him to where Ms. Wendy told me to put the prisoners at.

At the location, Victoria separate herself from me and grabbed a rope prepared by the agents.

"Just rope isn\'t enough, you know? Want me to dislocate their joints?" I asked.

"We\'ll do both. You\'ll dislocate his joints first and I\'ll tie him up."

That\'s the safest option we have. So I dislocate the guy\'s joints. Just both shoulders, elbows, legs, and knees. I think that\'s enough.

"How will you tie him up to make him not use his magic?" I asked her as I pluck out the HGB along with some of his teeth as well.

"Did you just pluck out his teeth?" Victoria asked.

"Just two of them. He\'s unconscious so he won\'t notice the pain until he\'s awake."

Victoria sighed hearing that. She then in her humanoid form approached the man while carrying the rope.

"You know how mages are usually aiming their palm at their target when they cast their magic? It wasn\'t like that in the past but it is now. So why don\'t we tie him up with both his palm in his cheek? He won\'t dare to use magic then."

Then I watched Victoria makes the man\'s arm crossed in front of his chest, with the palm of his right hand is touching his left cheek and the palm of his left hand is touching his right cheek.

I see now! So if he tried to use magic, he would end up attacking himself. And even if by any chance he managed to untie the rope, his body can\'t move because I dislocated his joints. But isn\'t that stupid?

"Victoria. They are someone who will blow their own heads with an explosive devices hidden inside his mouth. What make you think they won\'t cast their magic to kill themselves?" I asked the flaw in Victoria\'s tying method.

"Hmm… you\'re right. Well, even if he died, it\'s fine, right? We can then tell Wendy that we captured some of them but they committed suicide by attacking themselves with magic. Well, if this works, it will be useful for the next captives. If not, we will try other method until it works."

So cruel. What is this? A psychological experiments? We\'ll see if he commit suicide later or not? We\'re treating them like a guinea pigs. I think killing them is still more humane than letting them like this.

"Victoria. Tie his hands with both his palms touching his crotch. That way, unless they are crazy, they won\'t even think of casting any magic. Though this only works with men." I suggested an idea to her.

"You might be right. But what\'s the difference between aiming at their own heads and aiming at their own crotches?"

"Well, if it was me given those two options, although I don\'t want to die, I will have fewer resistance in blowing my own head than blowing down there. That\'s a forbidden area where no men dare to walk through whether out of their own volition or not." I explained the reason why to Victoria.

"Okay." Victoria replied as she unties the rope and ties it again as I told her to.

As long as the enemies we captured are men, they won\'t dare to cast any magic to kill themselves. And unlike aiming at their own heads, even if they cast any magic like this, it won\'t necessarily kill them.

After the first prisoner was caught and tied properly, I left to look for the next one.

Maybe it\'s because most of the cult members are leaving that there are fewer members on the street. BU I still managed to find two more people to capture. Both are men so I tied them like Victoria did to the first one.

Then I found again but this time, they are in a group. Five of them are gathering and discussing about something.

"What? Just five of us? Where\'s the others?"

"I don\'t know. I met them yesterday and they are all okay back then. What if that vigilante attacked them?"

"You think a vigilante is attacking people without any reason? Some of us who aren\'t here never did any crimes. Or what? You think that vigilante knows about us and trying to kill us one by one?"

"Yes." While they are discussing why other members are not coming, I jumped out of my hiding spot directly to the middle of them and replied to their question.

Surprised, they tried to attack me but they are too slow. Before they cast any magic, I already moved behind one of them and knock one person out already.

Knowing that someone is actually aiming at them, they didn\'t stop and panic. They quickly tried to kill me while also looking for a way out of the battle to probably report me to other members. But I won\'t let that happen.

I quickly throw the guy I knocked out to someone who\'s looking for a way to escape, while I\'m running toward another person and knock him out quickly. Three people down already only leaving two behind.

One of them knowing that he is no match against me, decisively activate the HGB and blow his own head. The last one was surprised to see his friend\'s reaction and about to do the same when I quickly reach out my hand to inside his mouth and plucked the HGB out and threw it away as it was just activated. It exploded just 2 meters away from me.

"Who are you?! How do you know about us?!"

I didn\'t answer his question and quickly knock him out as well. Then I plucked out the HGB from the other three and bring them all to where we keep prisoners. Where three people already tied up holding their crotches.

And so, I managed to get seven prisoners before the strong monsters finally appear and entered the city.

It will be difficult to capture any more people with this situation so for the next cult members, I\'m thinking of killing them right away.
