The cow embarked on the journey with Zeke and his men and headed in the southeastern direction. The cow was moving so slowly that Zeke eventually lost patience. He then enveloped the cow with his energy and flew the animal up in the air. The cow was terrified. What happened? Why am I flying? How did he do it? Is he a devil? Did I escape from a devil and fall into another devil's trap? Oh, God! Soon, the cow led them to an old and deserted village in the mountains.

There was not a single person in sight on the streets even it was during the day. The villagers were all sleeping in their respective houses. Zeke looked around and noticed the village, like Durbaine, had also farmed the same type of beans. Clearly, Dullioud had used the same method to manipulate the villagers to grow those beans. Zeke took a depth and sighed. I'm sure Dullioud has more bases like this in the other parts of the world.

Dullioud must have turned all these villagers here into puppets and manipulated them to farm these beans for the organization. But why? What purpose do these beans serve? At this point, Zeke still had no clue how to get rid of the worms from the villagers' bodies. Only the culprit could solve the problem. That's why I must crack down on Dullioud and get Cesar to give us the antidote. Zeke looked at Rick and ordered, "Think of a way to lure Dullioud out." Rick nodded. "All right.

Please give me five minutes." After studying the surroundings for a few seconds, Rick started scribbling some formulae on the ground. Three minutes later, Rick looked to the east and said, "Great Marshal, based on my calculations, I deduce Dullioud's base is in the eastern part of the village. More specifically, it should be at The Door of Life." "Come on, let's go. I should be able to lure them out," he added. Zeke and his men then walked toward The Door of Life.

The Door of Life was in fact a forest. The trees and shrubs had all withered, and the forest was tannin-brown as it was entirely covered in dried leaves. Not a single soul was there. Rick took out a flute and said, "I'll try to summon them. Please be patient." He then started playing a strange melody on the flute. Seconds later, someone from a distance responded by playing a few airy notes on a flute. Rick continued communicating with the mysterious figure with his flute.
