Chapter 24 - Suspicions

Sometimes Techno really did hate the fact that he was a double agent. Having to return to the camp to help the hunters in their pursuit of the rebellion. Sure he was doing it for a greater cause, but it didn't mean he had to like it.

Sam had called all the hunters to the camp, something he hadn't done in quite a while. It did make Techno a little uneasy with what the meeting could be about, especially when Sam had declared it as an 'emergency meeting'. He did not like the sound of that.

As always the humans that roamed around the camp avoided him like the plague, as if he was the nastiest creature alive. He rolled his eyes at the actions of the men. He knew for sure they were only doing it to act all big and tough. Techno could recall how many times he had beaten each one down when he was the Blood God, it was quite laughable.

As he reached the middle of the camp Sam stood on the small podium in the middle. Normally it would have held any captured hybrids, but there hadn't been any for weeks, no, months now. Techno wanted to chuckle at the thought, knowing he was partly to blame for that.

"Gather round boys!" The Creeper's voice boomed, hushing the hunters. Techno still never understood how the hunters could show their respect to the Creeper hybrid, it must have been his role as captain, forcing them into submission of some kind. "I've got some important news for you all."

Awkwardly shuffling next to a human, Techno stood to the side of the podium, listening intently to the Creeper hybrid's words. "I have been doing a lot of analysing over the last few weeks, looking at all our failed attempts at capturing any hybrid of any kind. Everytime we set out to do something, whether it be a big or small group, whether we go out for one hybrid or a bunch we always get intercepted by the rebellion."

There was a murmur of agreement from down below the podium, the humans obviously agreeing. Sam continued speaking, "From this I have come to the conclusion that there is a spy among us."

...

Shit.

"Whether the spy is one of you in the camp or if it's a Pogtopian hybrid hiding out near the camp, I'm not sure which one it is. But there is no other viable option of what it could be."

A wave of gasps and shouting started erupting from the crowd. Techno wished for nothing more than to run away or hide in that moment, however, doing so would look incredibly suspicious. It was better he just stayed quiet for the moment.

"Listen, listen!" Sam shouted once more, grabbing the men's attention once more. "I want none of you arguing or creating a fuss about this. I will handle the situation personally. However, if you see any suspicious behaviour from your peers whatsoever you will report it to me immediately. Is that understood?"

The hunters all shouted 'yes sir' harmoniously before Sam dismissed them all. As the humans started to barge past Techno to get where they wanted to go, it gave the Piglin a moment to process what Sam had just said.

Of course hiding the fact that there was a spy among the hunters wasn't going to last forever, however, both Techno and [y/n] knew that once a spy was identified it was only going to be a matter of time before Sam connected the Blood God's identity to Techno.

Even with how careful Techno had tried to be, it could not hide from the fact that the two had never been sighted fighting one another or that they were even separate people. Afterall the Blood God's identity and species of hybrid was something that the hunters had never figured out, Sam was clever, if he came face to face with the Blood God it would not take him long to figure out it was his old friend.

"Techno! How's it going?" Sam's voice shook the Piglin out of his thoughts, Techno focusing in on the world again to see the half Creeper now standing right in front of him. He must have hopped off the stage while Techno was lost in thought.
