Chapter 153: The Burning Drug: Epilogue (3)
In the ruins of a city where the heat from the huge still lingered and the smoke still could be seen here and there, the streets where many people once walked were charred and collapsed, leaving only traces of their former appearance.
The buildings that once towered high, almost touching the sky, now bowed their heads, revealing only their skeletons between the collapsed walls and broken windows.
The streets where many people had walked, the roads where countless vehicles passed, and the buildings that provided shelter to countless people were all empty and silent. All the people had been transferred to other places, as the city was designated as a dangerous area where ghostly Objects could appear.
In the midst of these ruins, researchers from various research institutes, led by James, slowly entered the ruins, wrapped in protective suits all over their bodies. Of course, they did not enter this dangerous area for no reason. The first reason was that the research institutes had received a request for research cooperation.
Since it could be an accident related to the Gray Reaper, they probably hoped that the ‘James Research Institute’, which knew the Gray Reaper the best, would help.
The second reason was that the government had requested for their cooperation. It was a request to help search for missing Drug Enforcement Agency personnel.
