Emotional Illness Case No. 13-465.
Paimon’s Demon World Emotion Scale has expanded beyond the central continent and taken over the southern continent.
“Ugh. “Gagging!”
A large man, alone in the huge mansion, was lying on the stairs and groaning.
Clovis, the rich man of the Kingdom of Calais.
He was a rich man, ranked second in the kingdom’s business hierarchy and one of the top 100 conglomerates in the entire southern continent.
“Why why…
Clovis was in tears.
“Why do you keep hurting?”
First he killed the maid.
Next were friends, then 13 wives, and then 7 children.
It all happened in one day, and he had just lost his beloved Cathy.
“Surely he’s not dead yet?”
Clovis limped down the stairs, clutching his senses as he was paralyzed by pain.
Wives and children with their eyes open were lying on the cold floor looking at him.
“Huh! it hurts. so painful.”
It didn’t seem like a pain that a person could endure.
“Cassie are you still alive?”
A large breed of dog was spilling its intestines and sticking out its tongue.
“die. Just die quickly. “I’m having a hard time.”
Even the sensation I felt every time I stabbed myself with a long sword hurt like a broken bone.
“OMG! “Aaaah!”
It was only when Clovis saw the dog’s corpse that there was no more room to stab him that he realized reality.
“What should I do! I killed them all! “What more do I have to give up to not get sick!”
The thrown long sword bounced off the wall and hit the bottom of a shelf with ceramics on it.
“omg!”
As his face turned pale, the shaking pottery fell to the floor.
“no! no!”
He hurriedly ran over, holding one of the hundreds of fragments with his hands shaking.
“shit! How much does this cost? “You stupid bastard!”
At that moment, Clovis realized that his sense of pain had returned to normal.
“Money”
The first thing he did after finding a new way of life was to shake his head.
“no. How did I get the money?
I haven’t had a day off since I was 7, and no one can be happy.
“You bastards! Mongrels! Menial things! How dare you take my money! “Who would live like you guys?”
As if a piece of pottery was worth just a speck of dust, my pain began to soar again.
“Ahh no.” Clovis was terrified and his limbs trembled.
“Please, someone stop this. “I’ll give you 100 million gold, no, 1 billion gold, so please fix me.”
Please, please….
“Aaaah!”
As my threshold rose, pain twice as terrible as before took over my entire body.
“Save people! “Save everyone!” 16 hours later.
It is said that when the World Health Organization arrived, the burning mansion was brightly lit at dawn.
≪Fuuuu.” Seriel closed the file number 13-465 and saw Clovis lying on the bed.
It was a corpse as black and hard as charcoal.
“Is it just incineration?”
After signing the file written by the mind wizard, he stood up and the inspector covered the body with a cloth.
“yes. I tried calling, but no one came forward to attend the funeral. “It’s natural.”
It was a lonely death.
“all right. Please handle it like this.” Seriel’s expression after leaving the mortuary was calm until she returned to the laboratory.
What welcomed her was a note on the wall and a large graph recording each hour.
Reality set in.
“ha.”
The lives of the victims have long been buried in hundreds of reports arriving every day.
“ha! ha! ha!”
Why can’t it be treated?
A feeling of helplessness welled up, and I desperately tried to deny it, raising my anger.
“Aaaah! it’s annoying!”
I threw everything I could see.
‘Hold on! ‘You have to endure it!’
Even though I knew that anger could not solve the problem, my body was not controlled by my brain.
Sirone strongly opened the door to the laboratory.
“Ceriel! what’s the matter?”
When I came to my senses, the room was a mess and blood was flowing down the blade of my hand.
“You’re hurt, right? “Why are you so excited, so unusual for you?”
As I approached to check the wound, Seriel lowered her arm and spoke in a trembling voice.
“Sirone.”
Sirone, reading the despair in her eyes, realized that blood was not the problem.
“It must be hard, Seriel, but…
Seriel buried her face in Sirone’s chest and cried, clutching her collar.
“Ahh… ah…
it was a sad cry.
“are you okay.”
Repeating the only words she could say, Sirone rubbed Seriel’s back.
“are you okay. “Everything will be okay.” How much time has passed?
Seriel’s breathing gradually regained stability after shedding tears until her clothes got wet.
“…Sorry.”
As if she couldn’t bear to show her face, she pulled Sirone’s collar even further.
“I’m sorry. When things are hard, you can cry as much as you want. “No one will doubt your best.”
Even if not everyone in the world.
Only then did Seriel slowly raise her head, poking out her lower lip and saying.
“If you tell Amy, she’ll die. “Keep your mouth shut until I tell you.” “haha! okay. Let’s look at your hands first.” Seriel’s specialty is recovery magic, but this situation was probably a matter of mood.
The wound was long, but fortunately not deep.
“How did you get so excited?”
Seriel, who was sitting on a chair and receiving treatment from Sirone, lit a cigarette.
“I don’t know either. I keep having nightmares these days. “I think we might have to reduce case inspections.”
Sirone smiled bitterly.
“that’s right. Are you tired.”
“Emotional illness. You have to look into the deepest side of that person. “I can’t stand it if I’m sane.”
Seriel turned her head.
“It’s really amazing. How can you bear it? “If I were you, I would go crazy.”
“You are doing well enough. You created the guidelines after analyzing numerous cases. “Just know that there are far more people you saved than the people you couldn’t save.”
“okay.”
Seriel was thankful.
“Oh, the reason I called you was because I wanted to ask you a favor. “Is it possible to go on a business trip?”
“business trip? “What’s going on?” Seriel put out her cigarette and searched her desk.
“Where did you go?”
After fumbling for documents, she sat down on the floor and looked at the scattered documents one by one.
“Yes, this is it. Would you like to take a look first?”
As Sirone looked, the area where emotional illness cases were reported was marked on the map.
“One red dot is 100 people. “If you reduce the number of units, it becomes much more precise, but that will be enough.”
“huh. “I know what it is.”
It was clearly an abnormal distribution.
“Emotion-scale hospitals are spread by the wind. Although the infection route includes humans, the spread is not large at the time when most countries have implemented quarantine policies. Therefore…
Sirone received the message.
“It is normal for the frequency of reported cases of emotional illness to be highest in the central continent and gradually decrease as it moves to the southwest. But if you look at this map, there are empty areas here and there, as if the wind has stopped.”
“okay. It feels like there is a wind-free zone in the southern continent. At first, I thought we were being invaded by demons, but when I inquired at the temple, they said that the army of hell was blocked at the border of Calais. So this time I researched the area. “Is it perhaps the kingdom’s administrative city or military stronghold?”
“Well, in that case, announcing the death toll could be poisonous to the country.”
“But no.”
Seriel pointed at the map.
“After my investigation, I could not find any reason not to report the case. “Rather, most of them were small local fiefdoms with no special features.”
“Have you sent an investigator?”
“I reported it to the higher-ups. “If my opinion is persuasive, I will issue an emergency order, but it is unclear whether I can postpone the nobles of each country who must be dealt with first.”
The issue of recovering their property was important.
“It was frustrating to just wait for the decision from above, so I thought about it for a while and suddenly this thought occurred to me. “Maybe it’s not that it hasn’t been reported, but that there really is an area that overcomes emotional illness?”
There was silence for a moment.
“Hmm, even if that’s the case, isn’t it too large-scale for it to be happening simultaneously and simultaneously across the entire southern continent? However, it was a small town and not a core city…
Sirone stopped talking and connected the empty spaces on the map with an imaginary line.
“It’s a route of some sort.”
“I think the same thing. So I researched all night. Special products distributed in the area and even agricultural equipment materials. The results do not match any of the results. I was stuck there, and last night I decided to give it a try. If a product from a certain region is being distributed to the southern continent, the place that benefits the most will be the place where the product was produced.”
“You investigated all of that?”
There was only one way to find the production site.
“I took out all the reports, starting with number 1, and started marking them one by one. Did you do that for 2 hours? Suddenly I realized there was no need for this. “It reminded me of a place that has never appeared before.”
Sirone concentrated.
“So I gave up on the map and flipped through the documents until I found that location. The result is 0. There is a region, or even a kingdom, where not a single case of emotional illness has been reported.”
Seriel drew a border line on the southern continent, specifically the southernmost Kingdom of Aeron.
“Do you know where it is?”
As Shirone came to mind, I got goosebumps.
“Kingdom of Keshia.”
This was where Fermi was.
“It’s a drug.”
“Yes, this is a drug trafficking route. It is produced in Kecia and spread throughout the southern continent. And no cases of emotional illness are reported in places where this drug is distributed.”
“But… is it possible?”
“That’s the problem. I experimented with all kinds of morphine, tranquilizers, tranquilizers, and even special drugs, but the symptoms of emotional illness did not abate. What on earth is this? “What kind of medication can you use to overcome emotional illness?” Sirone covered his mouth and thought.
‘It’s too suspicious to be a coincidence. Even before Fermi became a drug trafficker, it was long before the Demon World opened. There is no way I could have predicted this situation…
A sound came out without my knowledge.
“ah.”
There may be.
‘Because it’s Fermini.’
Sirone shook his head.
‘Honestly, I don’t know. But it’s even harder to believe that he caught the mouse while walking backwards. If all of this was calculated…
what did Fermi really suggest to himself on that unforgettable day?
‘And I…
why did I accept that offer?
“Please go to Kecia.”
Seriel, who was looking at Shirone, said while pressing the tip of the ballpoint pen with both hands.
“No matter how much you think about it, this is impossible for an investigator to confirm. Since Fermi has already taken control of Kesia, it is difficult to make an official response. “I know this is a difficult request, but I would like you to go and check it yourself.”
“okay.”
A means of suppressing emotional illness was important, but it was also a person who must be met before the temple.
“I’ll leave now.”
Another Sirone left for Kesia.
