Chapter 31: Good-Bad
"If you stay silent, you will still be punished." As he spoke, Vritra lightly patted her back.
"Yes, the king is involved in this plan. As for the reason behind it, I only know that not only could their abilities be extracted, but even the speed of a person leveling up could be doubled— though it still seems to be in the experimental phase.
One such person was spotted before outside of this kingdom. His actions were suspicious, and his leveling speed appeared higher, though his condition was highly unstable. Once he was caught, he died within a week. There were two hearts in his body," Diana explained. She didn’t dare to lie anymore.
’Hmmm, it matches my deduction. So they really use the bodies of transmigrators,’ Vritra thought. Then he asked further:
"If that is the case, then is the reason for bringing us all here the same? If not, then why did you only target those with trash skills? Wouldn’t it be more profitable to get those with better skills, or were they being saved for the time when this experiment becomes a success?"
"No, that is not the case. You were indeed summoned here to fight demons. Those background schemes only target those with tras— uhh, bad skills not only because of the reason you said, but also because it would be dangerous to target those with the best abilities.
These people are summoned here by the true gods, and I am the medium. So those gods nurture their favorites among the many," Diana explained patiently.
"Oh, so even those true gods are playing favorites? Haha, I understand all that. What role do you play in this? And is the king the mastermind?" Vritra stepped in front of her and asked.
"I am merely a bystander. It is true that I know what happens to those people who enter the labyrinth, but I can’t interfere with the plans of those people. The king is not the top head; it is the people in the background who are very dangerous.
They don’t harm me because of my status, but if I even tried anything, I would disappear without a trace," the goddess spoke while standing in a strange pose. How much she wished she could blow his head up.
"Alright, now tell me, what is the organization behind this?"
