Finding the Sacred Tree

The Great Detective ?

Because of that scream I finally woke up from that strange dream, but somehow the screams were still in my ears. The sound could not stop even though I was shaking my head.

Then shortly after, I realized that I was not in my room, I was in a familiar room. This is Uncle Tapoc and Mama Viona's room, but why am I here.

Because I was holding something I saw my hand and there was a kitchen knife with a red spot on the sharp side of the knife. I felt strange, why I was holding a kitchen knife and what this red spot was, I turned around and there was a servant and it was Uncle Tapoc's servant, he was screaming loudly. So the scream was from him, but why did he scream.

The waiter screamed while facing me. I also wonder why he screamed. So I faced forward again and looked up.

Then.all the answers I had in mind earlier, instantly answered. Right above me was Uncle Tapoc, Mama Viona and Syo who were stuck on the wall by being stabbed in the chest with an iron rod.

I dropped the knife I was holding on the floor and then said with a surprised face.

"What..that I have done?"

I turned around with a still shocked expression and I tried to walk up to the maid to explain what had happened, but the maid seemed to be frightened and ran out while locking the room.

I was locked inside, with 3 bodies hanging on the wall. I banged on the door to open, but the waiter was too scared and just sat in fear at the door.

Shortly after, one of the servants appeared and he saw a frightened servant at the door. He immediately took the waiter and asked what had happened to him.

"What's going on? Why are you so scared?"

"That's it." The servant was too scared to speak properly.

"What's wrong with you? Speak the right thing?" The waiter shook the frightened body of the servant strongly enough to make him aware.

"Mr Tapoc...."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's.has died."

"Huh.don't joke you're this." The waiter tried to break into Uncle Tapoc's room to see if what he said was true.

"Don't...! There's a monster inside! Just call all the monster hunters and adventurers who are in this house." The frightened servant stopped him from opening the door.

"You're still delirious. How could a monster enter a house equipped with this super tight security." The waiter still wanted to enter.

"There! He has even been in since yesterday. Anyway don't open this door and just go find Monster Hunter or Adventurer." The frightened servant held the hand of the servant who wanted to enter strong enough to cause the servant pain.

"Oh, what the hell are you." The waiter looked at the frightened face of the maid and now she was the one who was frightened from seeing her horrible face.

The servant's eyes bulged until his eyeballs wanted to come out, his skin paled from fear earlier, his lips turning blue like a cold person and his hair was a mess that made the maid look scary.

"Go! Call all the Monster hunters you can." He told the waiter in a horrible tone of voice as well.

The servant immediately went to look for Monster Hunter. Though at that time he still had a task to complete, but seeing that frightening face, he could not refuse it.

After the servant left in a hurry. Vivi appears who looks confused looking for something or someone. He saw the waiter at the door of Uncle Tapoc's room and he approached him to ask. But he was just in front of her and wanted to ask. The waiter pulled Vivi's shirt roughly and whispered something to her.

"Go! Don't come any closer."

"But I just want to....."

The servant pushed Vivi hard and also shouted loudly at her.

"Go..!"

"Hey... What the fuck are you? I'm just here to ask, did you see Mr Rakka around here?"

The servant looked surprised at Vivi and then said.

"He's inside."

"Huh..in Mr. Tapoc's room, but why are you there?"

"He's not your master anymore, Vivi. He is a monster now. He's killed the whole Tapoc family including little Syo."

"Well, that's impossible. Mr. Rakka is a pity for this family, let alone Mr. Syo. How could he kill them."

"But that's the truth."

Vivi was silent for a moment with a serious face and then she walked wanting to get into the room.

"Let me in."

"Don't! It's for your own good. I don't want you dead either, Vivi." The waiter stood up and blocked the door."

"Stop Rebbeta, I want to go in and see for myself."

Rebbeta still did not get rid of and even spread her hands.

"You know I can fight Rebbeta. So you better get out of the way before, your hand's broken one."

"I'd rather lose my hand than lose you, Vivi."

Vivi flicked her tongue and then advanced without hesitation wanting to break her hand Rebbeta. But just about to step up, suddenly appeared a few strangers and they were fully dressed for the war. They are Monster Hunter.

"Where's the monster, miss?"

"He's inside, please arrest him ladies and gentlemen." Vivi got out of the door and let them in.

"Give it to us."

The Monster Hunter entered in droves.

It turned out that the arrival of the Monster Hunter made the servants and workers curious. This place started to get crowded by people because they were curious, what was going on in this house. In the middle of the crowd, Vivi stole the opportunity to get into the room and it worked. Rebbeta wanted to get Vivi out of the room, but if she opened the door. Everyone would definitely enter and perhaps it could hinder Monster Hunter from capturing its monsters.

Vivi is already inside with the Monster Hunters and like Monster Hunter does not look like wanting to chase Vivi away or maybe more precisely if they do not know there is Vivi with them because they are too Focused on seeing which they are currently.

Their mouths were all gaping slightly, their eyes widened. Some even want to vomit to see it. Vivi was behind them and all the monster hunters were taller than Vivi. That's why he can't see what they see. So he slipped between them to get ahead and see what they saw.

After being in front, Vivi was startled and covered her mouth to not scream. He saw the whole Tapoc family stuck in the wall with iron rods on their chests and just below them was I who was cupped up like an anteater. My eyes were blank, I was immersed in my own thoughts. My mouth also kept moving and was uttering.

"Not me, not me, not me."

Vivi couldn't bear to see me so straight ahead and wanted to calm me down, but her steps were stopped by someone holding her hand.

"Mr Rakka won't kill me and I'm sure she didn't kill all those people either. So let me go!" Vivi tried to slam the guy, but she got her own style. He slammed onto the ground and now he could not move at all as it was firmly gripped by one of the male Monster Hunter.

"I didn't know she was ready for you, but she was a suspect miss and she was still a danger."

Vivi looks upset and wants to release her grip, but despite trying her hardest she still can't do it.

"Don't waste your energy, miss, you better shut up. Come on. Everybody, get him."

All Monster Hunter except the one holding Vivi, immediately advanced to catch me and when it wanted to catch me, suddenly there was a kind of attack that made the Monster Hunters bounce. At that time I did nothing, I did not even move my fingers at all, but all the Monster Hunter was blown away as if someone had attacked them.

"I thought he was a danger. Everyone. Get out your guns, we'll take him down even if he gets killed once"

The Bouncing Monster Hunters just woke up and took out their weapons. Most of them carried swords, but there were 1 or 2 people carrying bows and also magic sticks.

"Wait.don't kill him..."

"GROAN..!"

Not caring what Vivi said, The monster hunters immediately came forward wanting to attack, but then their steps came to a halt as the door suddenly opened. Monster hunters think, the hordes of people had managed to get inside and it could be dangerous because it could hamper their work, but it turns out that only 1 man who wore a beret hat and also a black coat.

When the Monster Hunter saw the person enter, they immediately bowed and said their greetings simultaneously.

"Welcome, Mr. John."

If it's not wrong John is Syo's training teacher, but it doesn't seem to be just that. As far as I know John is the most powerful Monster Hunter in the kingdom.He is said to be the most powerful, because he had once defeated Crocland alone.

The Crocland was a monster like a crocodile but had fins. Despite having fins, he does not swim in water, but even underground.

Monster researchers are still investigating how Crocland could swim underground and for the current hypothesis is due to his scales. His scales might contain magic and it made the ground that touched his scales definitely turn liquid like water.

If from the level of difficulty, this monster has a high level of difficulty and usually monsters with this difficulty must be fought by more than 10 people while John actually managed to defeat Crocland alone.

In addition to being the strongest Monster Hunter he is also a great detective. Every murder case that exists in this kingdom, must always be solved by him.

Like the case yesterday, about a man who allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself. At first everyone thought the man was suicidal, but John didn't think like them, he thought it wasn't himself, but he was killed.

It didn't take him long to solve the case, it took him only a few hours to find the real culprit. Of course, not only did he accuse his people, he also gave reasons and the way he killed him.

the case was finished with the culprit was his own wife. The reason she did so was because her husband was having an affair behind her back and it made her angry and she ended up taking the life of her own husband. Because of his strength and his cleverness, he respected many people, even a respectable noble also took offense to him.

"What is this.wow...." John was surprised to see the condition of the tapoc family is very sad.

"Gosh, who did this?"

"We don't know for sure, sir. But according to the witness, the boy had done it."

"Hmm.the boy." John walked casually toward me, but unlike other Monster Hunters who wanted to get close to him immediately bounced off. He did not bounce or get hit in the slightest.

When he was in front of me John touched my head and it lasted long enough. After a few minutes he removed his grasp from my head and then he stood up while lifting me up so that I could also stand up.

"How's mister? Did that kid kill the Tapoc family?"

John smiled

"Oh. This kid is..." John patted me on the shoulder.

"He's the monster I hate the most." John held the back of his head and directly banged my head against the floor until the floor below me cracked quite large.

"Sir...! You're this fucking you! What the hell are you doing? Why did you suddenly do that?" Vivi looks furious.

"Hmm.yes because he's the villain."

"Well... How did you know that? you just arrived and from earlier you were just holding the head of Mr. Rakka . Then how can you conclude that he's the villain."

"Hey.be quiet woman, if master John says so then that's the truth." Said the man who grabbed Vivi.

"Well, you want proof, I'll show you. First, before I came here I was already going around this place to check if there were broken glass marks or broken doors, and the results were nil. Second, I was told by Tapoc that the house is filled with security made from magic tools and the function of security is to check who has entered this room. I checked it out in the control room that this room was just this kid and Berreta this morning."

"Wait..control room? What room is that? Is there a room in this house?"

"That's the drawback of being a servant that you're not told anything secret. Tapoc deliberately did not tell his servants and workers about this room so that if someone committed a crime it could be found out."

"Further the third." John showed a strange ring on his index finger.

"You know what this is?"

"What's that?"

"This is a tapoc-made magic tool specially made for me. The use of this ring is to be able to read the memories of others."

"Wait instead of the ring being less than perfect, I've heard that the ring can indeed see other people's memories, but it's not very accurate."

"And I told you this was made especially for me. So this is the perfect result of the memory-viewing ring before her."

"Well I was holding the boy's head to look at his memory and I saw that he was the one who killed the Tapoc family in a very cruel way."

"That's impossible.all of it is a lie. How could Mr. Rakka have done such a cruel thing."

"You still don't believe it. Well then I'll show you the cruelty of this little monster."

Suddenly in the head of everyone in the room, there was a scene where I killed the Tapoc family viciously, because of that a lot of people were shocked and some were vomiting.

Vivi who saw the scene was also in disbelief, but the scene was very real, it was impossible even if it was an illusion. He can't speak anymore. He just kept quiet with his blank look.

"How do you believe it now?"

Vivi just fell silent and said nothing. The person who grabbed Vivi earlier also let go of Vivi because it seemed like she would not go on a rampage like that.

"OK.I'll take that as it is. Okay.ayo we take this kid to the town square. Surely many people will be happy when I bring criminals to torture."

Since there were no warriors in this kingdom, there were no prisons in this kingdom either. So the Monster Hunters set up their own prison in the town square. Although this is called a prison, but in fact it is like a show of torture against criminals.

So I'll be tied up in both my hands and feet. Then I will hang and be left in the middle of the square for viewing. But of course it hasn't been tortured. After I am hanged, I will be whipped continuously until the person who whips me is tired or wants to eat. Usually this can last all day because the person who whipped me was all the citizens who passed by in the square.

"Let's have fun together." John took me by dragging me like a sack of potatoes.
