King of Shadows

The demonstration and support that entered the junkyard along the Grand Delhi all went deeper and entered the hidden junkyard. The stinky smell of iron passed through the end of my nose, but no complaints were made. Silence. The fight seems to be a lie until now.

"... Is it really safe here?"

[Yes]

With a non-grudging expression, I moved my body around on a chair that remained a skeleton. The second gangster was strong enough to rise above the water, among the heteros in favor. There 'll be two cavities in the air in no time to resist. It was an incredibly close emergency situation. However, when he saw a demonstration of a weak attitude, he thought about whether his worries were not worth it.

"But Yonker knows a place like this. The fact that there's a junkyard in the middle of nowhere doesn't make sense to any of the businesses... even though the junkyard looks like it's been there for years."

[I stumbled upon it. In the past, I was curious about Grandeliol. This is where I found it on foot in the Grand Delliol]

"Now that I hear and think about it, this is the point of crossing the border with Grandeliol."

[That's why strange things happen.]

The time when the sun begins to set. The junkyard was filled with a grim atmosphere. Sihyun and Opportunity were having a relaxing time worrying about the second Goblin's pursuit. Despite the many hours passed, the second unsub did not appear. Even if I didn't find any traces, I was at the junkyard - the only place I could find it - so I had to question my support.

"He's not coming. Did he give up?"

[No, he probably ran there because he thought we had escaped to a secret base.]

He read the exact pattern of behavior of the second gecko. It wasn't until nightfall that the second villain gave up, but instead turned around for a while and came back.

"... that hetero knows where we live? How the hell do we know that?"

[This is my mistake. That hetero has been watching me for a long time.]

"Of course. No matter how powerful a hetero is, you can't know everything. Must have had to chase after someone."

I was not angry with the demonstration that I was being stepped on. I didn't even think I was in trouble because of Se-hyun. In a city that was turned to hell, it was prey on anyone who was a target. In the case of Sehyun, it was just bad luck.

"Is there a way? You're not gonna be here forever, are you?"

[If there's a way, I'm just waiting for time.]

"If you're so sure, there really is a plot."

Sihyun was thinking of throwing a vote here. It could have been our last meeting. No, it was the last time. Even if he said no, he was going to throw it out into the world. In a city that turned to hell, the character of "yes" did not fit so well.

As the term "dust dust" means, living here for a long time, the nature and values of support can also change. Sihyun did not want to see such support. That's why he picked up a pen and prepared a farewell.

[What would you do if you could get out of here?]

She answered comfortably whether she thought it was a relaxing question. It was always the answer I had in my heart, so it was not difficult to open my mouth.

"If you're going out, I'd like to see my family again. I don't see it often because of research. Before that, I always put research before family. I fought a lot for it. Maybe my family thinks I'm dead. That's why I'm scared. Just in case I go and treat someone who doesn't have me. I'm already afraid to cut myself out of my mind and look at me with no emotion."

When he realized that there was something lacking in the perfect researcher and a complete personality, he smiled faintly. I didn't even think about it. It was only human.

Wouldn't he be a little happier if he grew up under these parents? Shi Hyun shakes his head as he recalls a vain imagination. His monstrosity was no longer intertwined. Assuming the situation, it was just sad.

[If that's the case, I don't think you need to worry, because I think it's for your health that your family's upset.]

"... my health?"

[Yes, health. You know how much research you're into, right? My heart is aching when I look at it next to me]

Sihyun knew how much he was frustrated with the study. If there was no answer, I hung on to one topic, not sleeping, not eating. The funny thing was that the answer looked the same.

In other words, it was an extreme lifestyle pattern that was not unusual no matter when I fell down. My heart is weak watching next to me, but I think it's a family. Opportunity had to learn to control itself.

"Well, it was mostly about fighting. I understand what you're trying to say. If you meet your family like you said, you'll have to apologize first."

Yeah, I think you should do that.

"You really don't look like a hetero. It's funny, but I often think of it as being human. I guess I didn't ask when I was talking or thinking. You don't deserve to live in hell for the rest of your life."

[I'm glad you feel that way, because I was once human.]

"W-what, what?!"

She couldn't hide her surprised expression, and she jumped up and down. He couldn't help but be shocked to understand what Sihyun said. Shi Hyun continued, leaving behind a silent support.

[My name is Han Si-hyun. He was 20 years old, he was a freshman in college, and I don't know why he became a hetero. I just woke up looking like this.]

"Z, do you have proof?"

You've proven your time with me so far. Hetero is a behavior, values and attitude that is friendly to humans that cannot be demonstrated. Everything represents me as a human being.]

I couldn't say anything about it. He thought he had a very similar behavior to humans. It was therefore expected that heteros belonging to the higher hierarchy were among the heteros. However, Xi Hyun's words surpassed all expectations of favor.

"Why are you saying that now?"

[At first, I couldn't tell because I couldn't believe it. If I had been honest about the fact that the city was isolated by Grandeliols and heterogeneous in a world full of heteros, even you wouldn't believe me.]

"... but that's true."

[You don't have to think about it. because at least one person has told me that they want me to be human. You won't get a chance to do that now.]

"What's that supposed to mean? What do you mean, no chance?"

I still stared at her with a mute expression. He had not been able to escape the shocking facts revealed by Xi Hyun, and had not noticed the change in the car.

'Cause it's time to go.

Xihyun pointed his finger at the window of the waste car. Where only fragments of glass remain. The window of the discarded car was not affected by 'Grandeliol'. In other words, it turned into a passageway to the outside world. It was a situation where anyone would be amazed and glorify God.

"What the...?"

She did not believe the miracle that had happened in front of her eyes and reached out her hand to the window of the discarded car. Slutty, slippery hands. When the arm goes out to the other side - outside world - without any resistance, the support opens wide. As the situation in my dream unfolded before my eyes, my heart began to beat violently.

"Now, now, this is what you call a 'safe place'? Uh, how did you know? No, why didn't you leave if you knew this place?"

Sihyun shut up. That didn't mean I hadn't been outside. But approaching him was not a warm human touch, but a cold bullet. Sihyun was not a fool. I realized that human societies were fiercely rejecting heteros. Without realizing it, I couldn't ask you to believe me just once. That's why he ignored the upvotes and wrote down what he wanted to say.

[If you go out there, you don't have to worry about being chased by the heteros anymore, you can meet the families you've been looking forward to, or you can do all the research you want.]

"You come with me. I can't stay in a place like this forever. If you really are human, I can vouch for your identity."

Opportunity reached out to Sihyun. In the eyes of his approval, there was a firm determination. However, he turned his head. It's because he knew better than anyone that following doesn't change anything. I was sure it would only raise the burden of favor.

Like the tattooed man and his gang, he was going to persecute them for a ridiculous reason. The Hell of Opposition experience had to end here. Even in the outside world, experiencing hell was too harsh for him.

[I'm sorry, I can't leave]

Shi Hyun, head down. The favor of looking at him was silent. I realized what he was thinking. Even if he's okay, he won't disagree. His willingness to walk the Thorn Field alone distorted his face by itself.

My vote was out. I made a decision. The decision of a lifetime.

"Then take my stigma! If the Viceroy is truly what I think it is, then I can rob myself of being a loser."

Xi Hyun was surprised. Until now, he had no idea that he could control the winner-take-all in such a way, focusing solely on killing his opponent. Death extortion and subjugation. I realized instinctively there was no difference between the two. The winner-take-all awakens to its new power, shaking it as if it had swallowed the Stigma of Opportunity in a heartbeat.

"... If you don't take it, I won't go either. Don't think of it as a debt, think of it as a parting gift. Keep it for the day we meet again. Always remember me. I will also remember that there is a 'human' in this world called Shi-hyun."

[But, I]

"Think of Stigma as meaningless to me, even when I'm old. Especially since I have a job fighting on the front lines. How much does a person in a chair look like that need Stigma's strength all day?"

He knew he wasn't always in a position to stop. It was no excuse to feel reluctant because of the strength of my colleagues. When he died, all that was left of him was death. Therefore, he accepted the favor of favor.

[... got it]

The winning ceremony, which confirmed his will, hijacked the stigma of favor. At the same time, 'thought agencies' that generate thought force and 'circuits' that emit thought force began to become even more robust. A stigma that flutters within your body. Demonstration felt the same tune and vibration, trembling with the feeling that he could become stronger.

[Thank you, professor, for giving me the power to live longer, and I will never forget this grace.]

I knew how precious stigma was in this world because I had lived as a cripple. I also knew how noble it was to have the support and determination to hand over such abilities at no cost. Sacrifice so far would have been the only vote in the world.
