Chapter 347: Don't Be Startled By What I'm About To Tell You Next

"Aren't you cold?" Lili examined Angelica's body and spoke calmly.

‘As expected, [Princess] has a better figure.' After feeling Yaeger's soft mounds of pleasure yesterday, Lili already knew of her approximate size.

"Wah!" Angelica was so embarrassed she was about to cry. She wanted to put on clothing but Yaeger stopped her.

"Since you already took it off, you can put it on later."

Angelica instantly covered herself with clothing and stared at Yaeger cautiously after hearing those words. Her legs trembled as she felt terror.

‘With all that said and done, you're still aiming for my body anyway!'

"Two mirrors." Lili already knew what Yaeger had in mind. Hence, she decided to show her the issue at hand instead of arguing with her.

"Mirrors? What for?" Angelica asked with a harsh tone while feeling nervous.

She had heard from her married neighbor that some freaks would fulfill their perverted tastes when doing the deed, by making the girl observe their own shameful expressions through a mirror.

Indeed, these two were experts!

Veteran perverts!

Angelica became more and more fearful.

"I asked for two mirrors so you can see the thing on the back of your neck." Yaeger said.

"Oh, I see!" Hearing that, Angelica instantly breathed a sigh of relief and felt ashamed of herself at the same time.

After all this time, it turned out she had misunderstood!

She was more than embarrassed!

She wanted to crawl into a pit and hide.

With her clothes in hand, Angelica returned to the room and came out with 2 mirrors shortly after.

After seeing the pitch-black pentagon on the back of her neck, she exclaimed, "what is that? Why did something like that appear on my body?"

Immediately after, she felt a sense of déjà vu. "I think I've seen this pentagram somewhere before…"

Her seemingly casual remarks revealed important information. Yaeger's eyes became wide and bounced to her feet. She leaned forward, her face was now a hair's width away from Angelica's face.

"Where have you seen such a marking?"

"Wowee!" Angelica was startled and backed off in a hurry, her face dyed in fear.

"I'm sorry I scared you. Please carefully recall where you have seen such a marking. It's very important to us." Yaeger spoke softly.

Angelica was relieved after seeing that Yaeger had settled down, her mind slowly became clearer.

A flurry of memories instantly appeared in her mind.

"Now I remember. I saved someone from the sea yesterday. There are a lot of black pentagram markings on his skin!"

"Where is he?" Yaeger clenched her fists while feeling excitement.

Her intuition told her that this person was most likely the patient zero!

"We sent him to the church." Angelica said.

"Take us to the church then." Yaeger was completely clueless about anything and everything about [Aoma Village].

She grabbed Angelica and ran outside in a hurry.

"Wait, I haven't put on my clothes yet!" The latter instantly screamed.

"I'm sorry, I was too flustered." Yaeger stopped and apologized.

The group went to the church after Angelica had dressed up.

However, they were obviously too late.

"He's not here?" Yaeger frowned as disappointment filled her mind.

"Yes. He stayed for dinner yesterday. But he disappeared this morning." The young priest said.

"Did he leave anything behind?" This was the one and only clue that she had. Yaeger wanted to cling onto it at all costs.

"I don't think so. I'll let you have a look." The young priest turned and led the way.

After thoroughly searching the room, Yaeger and Lili were deeply disappointed.

"Were you the only one who came in contact with him?" Yaeger was still hopeful.

The young priest nodded.

"Do you have any marks like that on your skin?" Yaeger made Angelica turn around.

"This mark is identical to the markings on that guy's skin!" The young priest couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the pitch-black pentagram.

"Do you have it on you?" Lili asked.

"Why should I have it on me?" The young priest was puzzled.

Before he could finish speaking, something black gradually appeared on his face.

Everyone was shocked when they witnessed it.

The black thing was actually a pitch-black pentagram!

The young priest became even more confused after seeing their startled expressions. He then observed his face using the mirror in the room after being reminded by Angelica.

There was a pitch black pentagram on it!

Creepy.

Very creepy!

"What is this thing?" The young priest shouted.

Yaeger shook her head lightly, realizing her guess was correct.

That guy was mostly definitely patient zero!

Yet, he escaped!

And nobody knew when exactly he left.

Ignoring the obviously terrified young priest, Yaeger and the others returned to Angelica's home.

Then, Yaeger told Angelica to ask all the workers in contact with that mysterious man during that day, to see if there were markings on their bodies.

In less than an hour, Angelica returned with unsurprising results.

Every dock worker who had physical contact with the mysterious man had pitch-black pentagrams on their skin!

Her assumption was nothing but the truth!

That mysterious man was definitely the source of the Starfall Disease, patient zero.

The important figure who would unlock [Rise of The Undead]!

The room was now filled with silence.

Yaeger said nothing while Lili remained silent. Angelica wanted to speak but wouldn't.

The village chief's daughter had realized something by now.

"Don't be startled by what I'm about to tell you next." Yaeger leaned back and rested on the chair while speaking solemnly.

"I… I won't be scared!" Yet, Angelica's legs were trembling non stop as she unconsciously clenched her fists.

"All of you are afflicted by the plague." Yaeger said.

‘Plague?' Angelica's mind instantly went blank after hearing those words.

She only returned to his senses a few seconds later and asked nervously, "the plague you're talking about… Is it that plague?"

"That's the plague I'm talking about."

"Will it kill a lot of people?" Angelica instantly let out a mournful expression.

"Indeed." Yaeger nodded.

"Really?" Angelica shifted her gaze to Lili. She refused to believe it unless the deputy chief of the Royal Knights affirmed it.

She knew it was possible that the Black-hearted Princess was joking around.

"Really." Lili's response crushed what remained of Angelica's hope.

Actually, Lili was also shocked at this very moment.

Because at this moment, she finally realized that the Starfall Disease was a plague!

"This plague has an incubation period. The outbreak won't happen right now." Yaeger said.

After hearing that, Angelica's worries were slightly relieved.

"Let's keep this matter between you and me. Don't tell anyone. Once we're back in town, we'll make arrangements so the relevant authorities can find a solution for it."

"That's right." Lili said.

"I know what to do." Angelica was calm on the surface but her mind was in chaos.

She had no idea that the person she rescued out of kindness was actually the source of the plague!

"Lili, we might need to delay our return to the city." Yaeger sighed lightly. "If we don't solve this problem, it will be very troublesome."
