King of Shadows

00102 The Expanding World

"Cetilian."

"Yes?"

"You don't like Cetilian. So don't freak out. It's urgent."

"But you..."

"You say you're a monster, and then you panic?"

Lindsey, who could not conceal her surprise, was troubled. Will you believe what Sihyun says and let it go? Will you do your best as a commanded hunter? He stared at her face with a human concern for a moment. But you can't always watch. A cautious stepping on her shoulder flew up toward the upper floor.

"Hey! There!"

She turns to the summit, ignoring Lindsey's sobbing voice. After reaching the 100th floor, she sighs. Situation only two floors to the summit. Suddenly, a combination appeared in front of him.

"That's it, 'Eclipse'. Even if you're crazy, you can't just barge into hetero headquarters in the chaos..."

"Commander, let's get this over with."

A ponytail girl and a man in a suit. They were Jua and Jinhyun. Sihyun had to laugh. Korea's top talent. A skilled hunter. A soldier in the Special Forces. Even at the Hetero Countermeasures Headquarters, the centers that would not be strange were all familiar with themselves.

"Could it be a whole gift set?"

Shi Hyun smiled bitterly, hurtling to the place where Zhuo and Jinhyun were in a single step. In the world where one second was divided into commas, he grabbed Zhuo and Jinhyun in both hands without hesitation. Corrected, he threw them down the stairs before they even opened the stigma.

After confirming that Jua and Jinhyun were separated, she rushed to take a step. The world wasn't on his side. Time had somehow reached its limit.

The sky was about to open. When he reached the top of the Jay Hour Tower, he looked up at the sky that was beginning to split. A deep, black hole protrudes through the cracks. I thought I heard a song somewhere. He felt an ominous gaze, and he sensed the impending appearance of 'its existence'.

"I can't do that!!"

He leaps with all his might, focusing his strength on his right arm. He puts 2.3 million thoughts in one place. In a short time, Shi Hyun slapped his arm on Palatica.

Kuaaaaang.

There were shocks and aftershocks that seemed to destroy the ground with a fuselage of jet engines, but there was not enough ground to destroy the Palatica. The treadmill was weak and there was not enough time to draw power. Palatica was a durable object that could not be confirmed by demonstration.

You know you can't hit anything with a light blow. Sihyun took another leap, but time did not wait for him. The sky was already open. Deep, deep hole. Sihyun felt the look of seeing him on the other side of the invisible abyss, expressing a acronym.

Sihyun looked at the many darknesses coming down towards him. If there is a shape in chaos, is it this shape? The chaos with a shady color and atmosphere creeped up toward the demonstration one step at a time. When the unprecedented language reached my ears, Xihyun cried out with a piercing shock on his head. I died just by being by my side. There was no way to resist.

It was a flow and a destiny. There were no exceptions as long as it came down.

I didn't know what it wanted and what it wanted. However, there was only one thing he could know for sure in his dying memory. His existence seemed 'just pleasant'.

So, he suffered 428 deaths.

- 102.

He woke up in a dream screaming. After checking his position late, he wipes off the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Se-hyun, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I just had a nightmare."

After a new morning, Shi Hyun reflectively replied to Lynn's words and bowed his head. What is "it"? What do they want? The whole body trembled just by thinking, and he stopped to think about its existence due to a split shock. It seemed to be weakening just by reminiscing.

The funny thing was that even though I was so afraid, the thought of stopping it sprouted. Is it a sense of justice or an instinct to live? Sihyun shakes his head. It was because I thought it was neither.

While shaking his head, he recovered from the situation.

Once there were too many constraints.

Unlike Seoul - Grandeliol-there was nothing that could interfere with him. The information was slow and the reaction was slow. Nor did I have the will. It was a place where the idea that it was beneficial not to do anything other than do your job. Even if there was a huge fire in the neighbourhood, it wouldn't have given him any special attention.

But Busan was different. No, the outside world was different. It was like an organism that moved organically. The next batsman pops out as if he was waiting for you to touch it. And when you catch the typewriter, you get a twist in the unexpected.

It was a pattern that he had never experienced until now. Maybe it was a natural outcome. The essence of seizures was monster-reader. Being unwelcome in human society. It was natural for humans to be unable to move in overwhelming spaces.

Even with a full heart attack, it may not be able to destroy the Palatica, but that situation was poisonous.

To avoid an absolute death, it had to end before it existed. The power to solve comes from nature. But if we go back to the mainland, we become human targets. If it was a target, I couldn't give it any power. If you can't break the Palatica with electricity, you have to face its existence.

So I had to finish it before I got out. The power to solve comes from nature. But if we go back to the mainland, we become human targets. If it was a target, I couldn't give it any power. If you can't break the Palatica with electricity, you have to face its existence.

"..."

Jihyun, who was in a vicious cycle that could not escape, shed a tear. How about manipulating people with manipulation until time permits? He shakes his head at the thought of going through his head.

There were too many people to control. Moreover, it was an unspecified number. In order to fully control everyone, I had to return to the past several times in the future. There is a record of the beginning. Unless the entire population was brainwashed, the legend of the Black Monster that destroyed Palatica would have been officially acknowledged.

Sihyun reminded me of a person who was unfathomable. He was upvoted. He was always the advisor who gave him the right answer. Jihyun was moved to think that she might have the wisdom to overcome this situation.

He was able to coordinate the timing precisely because he had heard Jua's approval schedule. It was 10: 00 a.m. when he arrived in Busan. It's 8: 30 in the morning. We could have met sooner or later. Regrettably, I couldn't meet swimming and hocheol, but I didn't think about it.

It wasn't that hard to meet her if she was alive. And she had already remembered the phone number of the swim.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry?"

"I'm going to the professor."

"Now?"

Rin looks at the strange expression. Since last night, her expression became even more strange as she acted anxiously as if she was being chased by something. But she didn't accuse him. I just felt that something had happened that I didn't know about, and I changed quietly.

It was in the thought that he might need his strength. On the contrary, Xi Hyun urgently opened his mouth.

"I wish you could come with me."

"Of course I do. We are one people, right?"

When she saw Lin's bright smiling face, she was able to get rid of her fear and fear for that moment.

/103

Shi-hyun and Lin arrived on the 94th floor of the hetero countermeasures headquarters with support in accordance with the guidance of Jua and Jin-hyun. A place that is not open to the public. Nevertheless, a demonstration on the 94th floor of the research facility was possible because of the tag "cooperative relationship" for Eclipse.

Xi Hyun went into the lab to say a quick hello and quickly pulled out the matter. Time is running out. There was nothing to get away from. What was in the lab was the whole thing with Sihyun and Lynn and the vote.

While thinking about how to unravel, Sihyun carefully brought up the story of past regression. I had no choice but to hear why he was concerned and what he was going to do. You couldn't share information, you couldn't ask for answers.

It was possible because both Lee and Lee were completely trustworthy. They were surprised, but did not freak out, when they heard about the other abilities of Xi Hyun. Even though it was temporarily out of time constraints and went back in time, it was difficult to use in many ways.

At the time when the two different worlds were connected, it was no more than a precious story or less. The fact that he knew the future itself was useful, but if the price was death, he could not get it.

"I see. I expected it, but it's worse than I thought."

Falatica and the unknown. And the absolute end of it. I nodded in favor of listening to him to the end.

"Did you know that?"

"I wasn't sure, so I was investigating."

She pointed her index finger at a sensing device in a corner of the lab. The unidentified device was operating with an elongated roar.

"A product of a study of waves coming from Palatica. A device that can determine the existence of Palatica, but where Grandeliol is, there is a Palatica, so we have to extract the data..."

She scratched her hot growing chin.

"I take it that's not normal. First, I expected to have an interest in the country that broke Grandeliol."

Sihyun burst elasticity for a short time. I realized that the whole world had noticed something about Grandelliol, but it was also a topic of interest on the other continent. Their primary organs have been shredded, and there are no invaders to stand idly by.

"But it's not hopeless either. From what you've told me, there seems to be some restrictions there. Destroy the Palatica before it's fully operational, as you predicted. It's not gonna be easy."

As he responded to the upvotes, Xi revealed his intrinsic problem. And I let go of the last fight I had.

"So you're saying we're blocked because we can't use our own power properly."

"Yes, as far as the Palatica is concerned, I'm very visible. But we can't rule it out."

I laughed in vain. It was very simple. You can switch ideas. If you don't look like a monster, even if you're a monster, everything will be fine.

"It's not hard. You can have human culture."

"Culture?"

"Yes, you can take the customs and the objects that you have so much of, or that you can think of them all at once that you have no doubt about. So, what do you think of the cat in the boots?"

"Cute… should I?"

He just raised a question mark over his head because he didn't know the intention of the vote.

"A familiar animal called a cat. And a common prop called boots. Doesn't the ability to speak and walk on two feet deteriorate? Despite its obvious ability to go beyond the realm of the beast, I don't think it's disgusting."

Recommendation for National Power

Commendo National Power

1. Two years ago, when Kyungmin recalled in the last painting, he was referring to the death of Lee Kyungsook in the case of the Shinseoul Union for the attackers. At that point, I described myself as reflexive and obsessed with being strong. I actually kind of admired the power of Sehyun.

So, two years ago, Kyungmin was referring to the Sinseoul Union incident, which almost took place five years ago, but I focused on it two years ago.

2. And if you go back to the past and there are no statements, you can assume that the actions or events that you have done in the past have not changed significantly. For example, if you brainwashed Colonel Hoilsup, or talked to Jua and Jinhyun, it was all skipped.
