Chapter 17: Volume 1, Chapter 16: Knowing

Arriving at the next-door infirmary room, I saw a similar figure that I'd seen before, sitting in the hospital bed. Until, I remembered, the similar figure was the leader of the native guardian villager who's working together with us fighting against Palkeros and Onigashi several days ago.

"Wait, I've seen you before! You're the leader of the native guardian villager, aren't it?" I asked in surprised.

And then he answered confidently.

"Yes, I am,"

And then, I asked him again, while sitting beside the leader of the guardian villager on the left.

"How did you get here? And what do you want to say to me?" And then he replied.

"I forgot I haven't introduced myself yet,"

"I'm Sergeant Adipati, former Sergeant of the Monakian National Forces. Currently, I'm working in here as an undercover Intel where I've had to collect tons of data. Like you can see several days ago, where I had to disguise as the leader of the guardian villager, since the previous leader of the guardian villager is deceased. Because I had to protect that village from any incoming threat either from the monsters, hostile androids, or any infected beings.,"

"Luckily, I was survived from Onigashi's slash, and the Minerva medical teams quickly take me into this hospital for an emergency treatment. Fortunately, my wound was treatable and I'm stated fine. Although the Doctor told me to take a rest for a recovery," he continued.

After that, I asked him again.

"Wait, are you also the part of Minerva?"

"Yes, but I'm currently working as a temporary member," he continued by asking me.

"Anyway, you wanted to know more about Onigashi, right?"

"Also, I wanted to know more about Cleanser Squadron. Got any idea of it?" I asked him back. And then he answered.

"Alright," After that, he explained.

"Onigashi or known as The Demoness from the East, is the leader of the notorious terrorist organization called Crescent,"

"Crescent? What is that?" I asked confusedly and curiously about Crescent's word, he said to me.

"Crescent is a terrorist organization formed by Ivanov and Nana to helping the oppressed infected life by rebelling those that ever oppressed them. The Crescent rebellion method is violent and barbaric. They were burning random places by throwing Molotov or bombs, mass murdering civilians with the stolen weaponry, and spreading propaganda,"

"The reason Onigashi ended up in Crescent and becoming the leader is simple: she wanted to grow stronger and to fulfill her vengeance. Because of that, she went to a various hellish training by picking a fight with the strongest opponents to test her ability to the limit," He continued.

"And then, she beating their asses like breaking a toothpick, right?" I asked in a jocular tone.

And then he laughed and continued.

"Hahaha, yes. Even the previous Crescent leader Ivanov conceding and allowing her to become the leader of this organization. Hence why she's becoming fearful whenever she's getting stronger in each time,"

"And what is Onigashi's primary goal with Crescent?" I asked again.

"To make this world unified with the Scorching Virus," He answered clearly.

"So you're saying, she and Crescent wanted to make this world living together with the virus, right?"

"Yes.," After that, I asked another question.

"Alright. By the way, do you have any idea about the Cleanser Squadron?" After that, he explained.

"Yes. However, I've ever encountered Onigashi before, where she's kidnapping someone. After we've saved that kidnapped person, he's admitting that he's the part of the Cleanser Squadron,"

"Wow, what a coincidence," I said to myself.

And then he continued.

"When we're asking the Cleanser Squadron guy for what's he's doing in there, he's answered the Great Purge.,"

"The Great Purge is the operation created by Cleanser Squadron to commit mass murder at any forms of infected. Isn't that right?" I asked.

"Absolutely! However, it is such an unfortunate that the Cleanser Squadron misuse their terms of Great Purge for their political tool," And then, he continued his explanation.

"Like, purging other religions by burning and bombing the other religious places. And they put the blame on the other party, as if they did nothing wrong.,"

"Even, they're purging someone that has a different political view, like the Great Pope Marcus Martinez, for example. He's the founder of the Grande Maria Great Church, the Great Pope in that church, and the founder of the Cleanser Squadron. The main reason he's formed the Cleanser Squadron is to cleaning up most of the monstrous infected beings that keep ravaging Grande Maria any further to prevent any harm for the citizens of Grande Maria. He's already such a good pope where he's leading this squadron better than anyone else, because he's the type of person who practicing what he's preaching. Like always treat the good one with love and punish the bad one.,"

"Unfortunately, Pope Enzio Busso hated Marcus's political view. Because Pope Marcus is Preston's closest friend, the previous FSU President with a Nationalist Party affiliation. While Enzio is a close friend with Harris, the current FSU President with Democratic Party affiliation,"

"If Marcus' motive is to protecting the innocent and purging the aggressor, doesn't matter if the innocent were the infected. Enzio's motive is the opposite. Because Enzio hated infected so much that he's claimed that his family died in the Infectoids hands. And because of that, he generalized all infected are the same and must be purged, while claiming that he's doing a God's work by committing mass killing toward all infected,"

"While he killed his own family. Because he's overdosed on a drug,"

"Because it doesn't matter if you're a good infected or anyone else, they (Cleanser Squadron) will purge you. Because everything that Cleanser Squadron does is for their own political playbook with the spice of divinity. But this is during the Enzio administration, completely the opposite from Marcus administration.," I nodded my head in understanding. I asked him again with more questions.

"And what happened to Marcus after that? Did the Cleanser Squadron members whose under Enzio control, assassinated him?"

"No. He died because of the hereditary cancer,"

That gave me a slight shock at hearing Marcus' death.

"Oh, I see. May he rest in peace, and Amen to that," I said in a downed tone.

"By the way, what did you do to the kidnapped Cleanser Squadron person you've mentioned previously?" I asked him again.

"We're executed him by burning him alive. Because he's the one who's responsible for burning my old village and killed my brother in there,"

"Oh, that's a relief. Because he gets what he's deserved after you know the context of its," I said while smirking and nodding after realizing what he's done to that poor guy in the psychopathic squadron. After that, I continued by asking again.

"So, what's the relation between Crescent and this psychopathic squadron?"

"Crescent wanted to destroy the Cleanser Squadron, and they deploy Rukia to do these jobs. Currently, Cleanser Squadron's recent primary target is Crescent. Because Crescent is deploying tons of Infectoid and committing an illegal unrest to Grande Maria,"

"Well, if it's happening, I can just sit back and bring some ice cream," I said while relaxing in my sitting position on the chair.

Suddenly, he continued.

"It's also rumored that Crescent is also targeting Leonid, Christine's father. If you don't know who Leonid is, he's the former-owner of the bankrupted Veloce pharma and the priest of the Saint Capriccio Great Church, also in Grande Maria. Not because they have a grudge with Leonid, it's because they wanted Antonio's disguise serum for Crescent's advantages. Disguise serum is a serum where the injected one became undetected by the infected, and that gave the injected one an advantage to beat up the Infectoids and the infected monster while remain undetected by them,"

"Disguise serum?" I asked curiously.

"However, this disguise serum can be exploited into something more dangerous by adding some cells that make the Crescent member remain undetected by the surveillance system while committing mass riot in every city.,"

"The Cleanser Squadron wasn't that stupid. Even, they're creating their own Authonoids for their self-defense system with the money came from the Great Pope Enzio himself. Even they doubling down their Authonoids performance and the surveillance systems they've created to prevent another infected unrest," I nodded in understanding, although it still confuses me from the several parts he mentioned.

So, I asked him again.

"What the hell does the Cleanser Squadron motives under Enzio's administration nowadays?"

"Money. Without money, you'll get less power, recognition, and respect from the public," He answered clearly, and he continued.

"Most of Pope Enzio's saving is came from the charity money. After he's got plenty money from the charity, he and his Cleanser Squadron started to developing their own Authonoids. Even their Authonoids can outperform most of the high-tech Authonoids in this world. Although it still loses against Minerva's Authonoid. Despite that, they'll keep developing in each time.," I raised my eyebrows while nodding in understanding.

"Oh, that's interesting. Anything else?" I asked.

"If you wanted to know more the detail, I'll give you this instead," He said to me while bringing me his flash disk from the table beside him.

"A flash disk?" I asked, confused.

And then, he explained.

"This flash disk contains the details of the data that I've mentioned before. I'm sorry that I can't tell you more about the detail, because in the end you have to find these details by yourself to know anything better,"

"Oh, thank you so much, Sergeant Adipati. You're such a helpful person. Without you, I will have lost in the middle," I said while shaking hands with Mr. Adipati as a gratitude expression.

"It's alright, don't mention it," He replied in a smile. After that, I stood up from the chair and was about to leave this infirmary room to check out the flash disk that Mr. Adipati gave to me.

"I'm sorry that I have to go right now," I said while about to open the exit door.

"Take care and stay safe out there, Mr. Tsuyuki," he replied.

I didn't care if the truth was painful or not. Because in the end, I have a right to know every detail that I've missed previously.
