Origin Lust Sword System

Chapter 26 Approaching The District Gates!

?In the middle of the night, because of an unknown killer on the loose, the security in district G and higher district were ten times more.

Almost every ordinary now knows about the mysterious killer as they named him Bloodthirsty Fiend.

But for some reason, the killings were stopped for over a month, and no one had gone missing either. This gave the higher authorities some relief. Especially those who were terrified of the possibility that a unique was targeting them.

Still, they didn't let their guards down as they continued their patrolling and blockade.

Because of this high security, the entire slum district experiences lawful peace, especially the people in the lower districts.

The BODs gangs also stopped their nasty businesses like cannibalism as the ration became ample after the higher-ups cleaned the corrupt officers who hoarded the grains and wheat and sold them at a higher price to these BODS.

These corrupt officers were also those who hid the news of people gone missing despite some of them reporting it when it first started.

They naturally won't take the BODs seriously, but after this initial root out, the BODs finally regain some of their statuses as people, and those sly fellows quickly stop doing whatever dirty business they had built up for the time being.

Another big matter came to the Ordinaries' attention as they started ruffling more feathers, the Paradise Needles!

They found that many BODs were addicted to these Paradise Needles, and they were going missing even before the Bloodthirsty Fiend ran rampant in the lower districts, and all of them were once Paradise Needles addicts.

As for how this terrifying revelation came to light, one of the Paradise Needles brokers admitted it himself when a BOD revealed his identity because he stopped supplying the Paradise Needles over a month ago.

The Paradise Needles were not only in high demand and extremely popular in the BODs, but those Paradise Needles were distributed free on a daily basis among BODs at the distributor's behest.

It was the strangest part, and the brokers who were in charge of spreading these Paradise Needles had no idea about these needles' source, and they even got paid handsomely despite distributing the Paradise Needles for free.

Most of the brokers were addicted themselves.

But for some reason, the Paradise Needles stopped appearing in the districts over a month ago, and all those addicts started to go crazy and went on a rampage like animals.

This is how the authorities discovered the existence of Paradise Needles.

But the trails run cold like the Bloodthirsty Fiend, and it became a mystery as well.

As for all those addicts, after a month of not using the Paradise Needles, they started to die one after another, gruesomely!

There were thousands of deaths reported in each district, and this was the result of just two years after the Paradise Needles started appearing among the BODs.

One could say the mastermind behind the Paradise Needles was even more malicious than the Bloodthirsty Fiend, and both of them had vanished almost at the same time.

Some even thought as both of them were the same person!

At this moment, Cyrus and Rita, clad in black windbreaks with long hoods, approached the district gates toward District F.

After the Bloodthirsty Fiend, the normally closed and dormant district gates had become active as many police officers come and go on daily bases.

Furthermore, the exchange between district-F, G, and H was quite frequent, and many ordinaries live here. They were even allowed to enter higher districts as long as could pay for it, and the police force here wasn't lazy at all.

So, there's no need to build hidden passages to stop BODs from entering higher districts. No one dared to make trouble in these districts, and BODs lived peacefully until they died.

The life of a BOD was extremely short; they only lived for 30 years max. The birth rate among BODs was also low, and there was no prohibition on them except for not leaving their birth districts.

They could live like a normal human, and they could marry and have kids, but it's just that their lifespan was extremely low, and it was becoming lower with every generation.

If this keeps up, the BODs will go extinct in two or three more generations, which was nothing but good news for the ordinaries since this will be the end of the BODs among them, and they can have all the lands occupied by them.

While those who had a soft spot for those pitiful souls could only sigh at their wrenched fate.

Still, everyone knows it would be for the best, and they would be no longer any need for fearing the spread of BOD.

Although the BOD never spread after it appeared on a random person, it didn't mean it couldn't happen in the future.

If not for some high-ranking members of the Slum District, had prohibited interfering in BODs' lives and let them live peacefully. Those ordinaries would be the first to sharpen their knives!

Anyhow, this all has nothing to do with Cyrus and Rita; they were calmly walking toward two small guard posts in front of the large district gates. There were guards inside, as well as many armed guards, patrolling the vicinity.

Rita's somewhat uncertain and worried voice sounded, "Are you sure it's going to work? What if I failed?"

Cyrus rolled his eyes since it was the tenth time she asked the same question, and he annoyingly answered, "Then, we'll just die!"

Rita pouted as she retorted, "Don't jinx it!"

"Then stop doubting yourself!" Cyrus berated in exasperation.

Shouldn't it be him who should be worried since his life was in this woman's hands?

On the contrary, he was completely calm and without any hint of worry because he knew there was no chance of them failing unless a cultivator with strong willpower interfered, which was even more unlikely.

"Halt right there, and identify yourself!" A loud voice suddenly sounded ahead of them before someone flashed a torchlight on both of them.

This naturally drew the attention of other guards in the silent vicinity, as they were completely on high alert

Rita felt extremely nervous as she looked at two silhouettes approaching, pointing their guns at them, while Cyrus remained nonchalant, and he had no intention of interfering either!
