Plot Summary
Escorted by soldiers, a researcher named Franz Chilio finds Griffith's car crashed on the side of the expressway. It appears that he's actually looking for Ilie and tells Griffith's corpse that it's been a long time.

Meanwhile in E-05, Ilie has begun working for Mario at the inn. Kidow and Qasim investigate an apparent Cagaster outbreak but only find three corpses and one man survivor without any Cagasters. Qasim is annoyed that he has to take orders from an Exterminator but Kidow leaves.

Ilie continues working with Mario while Kidow, Aisha, and members of the anti-insect taskforce investigate the mysterious murders. Afterward, Kidow returns to the tavern and is served lunch by Ilie. He leaves to meet up with Kasim at the Baazar, which upsets Kasim.

Kidow meets with the Trade District Director for a job and gives him a lot of food. Later on, a gang of citizens attacks Kidow for being an exterminator while a mysterious masked man watches in the background. That night, this mysterious man reveals himself to a few of these gangsters and kills them using swords after revealing an insect-like eye.

Ilie worries about Kidow as he prepares for his next job. That morning, out by the west gate, members of the Red Rats try to convince Naji] to join them but he refuses. The Red Rats are a group of child thieves who work for a girl named [[Lizzy. Naji ignores them and tells them to be safe after all that's going on in town.

At the tavern, Mario helps Illie worry less about Kidow's demeanor. Kidow and the Anit Demon task force hired by the Trade Director head into the desert to deal with a particular Cagaster. They're able to best it and returns to E-05 after to celebrate.

Kidow talks with Hadi and recalls a bit of his tragic past. The next morning, Ilie goes out to find anchovies for the tavern but ends up getting her bag stolen by one of the red rats named Iason. Naji notices Iosan running and accidentally bumps into Ilie.

Naji takes Ilie to the Red Rats Hideout where they confront Lizzy and Team Red Rats.
