"Father, how did it go? Did you find out anything?" Mino asked Ming.
"For the past few days, they've been transporting beastmen corpses out of the north gate every night, and the numbers are steadily increasing," Ming replied.
"It's the same over by the east gate," Taru added.
"The south gate is no different," Aron chimed in.
"I found out that multiple beastmen are being targeted simultaneously in different locations, so there's definitely more than one culprit at work," Ridan stated.
"Is there anything unusual about the victims?" Nina asked.
"On the surface, there doesn't seem to be any noticeable difference," Ridan replied.
"What about foreign beastmen arriving in Serpent City over the last couple of days? Are there many?" Nina pressed.
"Not many. In fact, it's a lot fewer than before. Word about what's happening here must have leaked, and a lot of beastmen are too afraid to come now," Ming explained.
