King of Shadows

00136 Outcasts to Protect

It seemed like the inside changed more than the outside.

"The latter is not more likely, is it?"

"Regrettably, both are common. What you see is a tendency to see a lot of people turn into Eclipses -- two things."

Embarrassment and facade. Anger and agility. He did not conceal his disappearance from the fact that two cases of extreme propensity were considered representative examples. No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange. It didn't fit back and forth.

He scratched his head tightly thinking that he could feel something but wasn't caught. Opportunity grabbed the chalk with a hollow smile.

"There's no need to be so difficult. That's what a typical case looks like. There's a pattern of behavior, so that's not even a reference."

"It's called the Dozens. When you turn into a monster, you get all the reactions you can get."

"That's right."

He wrote down the knowledge and information that flowed from his head on the blackboard. However, I did not forget to tell Sihyun everything.

"There are few facts that have any relevance. Nothing in common, to be exact. It has a black envelope and has something in common called a human body structure, but it doesn't help that there are so many people who look similar when they enter heterotopia."

Like the roots of a tree, the Mind Map of Endorsement stopped where the word "object" was written. It's been a hot fact that's been revealed lately through a lot of research.

"Technically, Eclipses share similar shapes, but not the same entity as biology. Every one of them is a seed that could be the beginning of a new life. The chromosome sequence is completely different. It's not a work of man or nature. I don't know if I can say this, but the Eclipses are a work of God."

Evolution, competition, occlusion. The mystery that was established as an intact life without such a process was Eclipse. That's why there was no other word for it.

"If it had happened five years ago, when the Hayler continent had been injured, didn't people suspect the pioneers?"

"Why not? People initially thought it was pioneer prank-meaning. But when they realized that even their abilities couldn't create such a situation, they immediately changed their attitude."

"So is there no Eclipse that we're working with?"

"... I was, but they kicked me out."

He tilted his head in a calm voice.

"Why is Eclipse so banished? You can hug Eclipse with a cooperative attitude."

"It wasn't like this from the beginning. It's always been an anomaly. When the Eclipse first showed up, everyone was thinking about what to do. I was there. Trouble occurred in that situation."

I thought about it three years ago. It was not a nationwide riot at the time. The red light never goes down because of the Eclipse. When she saw the sudden change in favour's face, she also made a serious face.

"What kind of trouble are you talking about?"

"... Eclipse has assassinated the President. In other words, the current president is elected on behalf of a subordinate who has not fulfilled his tenure."

When Eclipse revealed her inevitable past, she burst into elasticity. Human-Eclipse, who turned into a monster, using the power of this mysterious oil to assassinate the president, was the same as declaring war.

It was clear that the deep goal between man and Eclipse that resulted from the irreversible behavior could not be solved in any way.

It was then that Shi Hyun realized that people were reluctant to see the Eclipse. It shows that there are those who have the power to overthrow a country if they only choose to.

An image imprinted in your head cannot be easily peeled off. People must think they can live by drying out the Eclipse thoroughly and excluding them.

"But why on earth? Eclipse sounds like a bold move."

They were Bondi humans, even if they became Eclipses. No matter how much I hated him, killing him for no good reason was an unimaginable deviation-contraindication.

"Well, no one knows why, unfortunately. It just confirms that President Eugene had a connection to Eclipse, who committed the crime."

"I think I know who the Eclipse is."

Unexpectedly, Jihyun seems to know who the Eclipse was who committed the bold crimes. There were many clues. The best bounty goes to the best criminals. Sihyun recalls one of the Eclipses he had heard.

"You guessed right. The one who assassinated President Yoo Jin-hwan is a copycat."

- 140.

Jua and Jinhyun, who were transferred to Eclipse Division 3 in the 111 Special Forces, looked at a boy standing in front of them. With a guarantee of support, I could quickly see who it was, but it was unbelievable.

"You're Se-hyun?"

"Yes, sister."

Jua, who saw a boy who looked similar to her, broke his head. It was true that I was busy these days and hadn't seen him for a few days. But I didn't think it would change like this.

Unlike Jua's surprisingly fallen reaction, Jinhyun looked at Jinhyun as surprised at the reduced body. It was adaptive to show that there was also a disease disappearing by the Caridome.

"How did it get so hard? Si-hyun."

"It's a disease, but it can still heal. Never mind."

Jinhyun thought about the aging disease in his memory, but nothing came to mind. But you can't just deny it. Jinhyun went on to say with a unique adaptation.

It was only for a moment that I asked him how he was doing. Jua quickly gets to the point.

"I heard from the professor. You want to join us in the investigation?"

"I'm part of the Eclipse Task Force, obviously. And I have a personal interest in the Eclipse."

"I'm sorry, but they're not joking. Hah, and I don't know what authority you're asking me to do that, but you can't even say you did."

Jua stared at his face, speaking in a light tone. The defeat of the Unsullied alone must have been a tremendous accomplishment, but Eclipse was a cunning pack, unlike such strength. I couldn't have survived without any experience. That's why Jua threw down her demonstration without seeing anything.

"I have enough authority. Why do you think professor recommended me?"

Xihyun took out an ID in his arms. A plastic card with a gold trim on a black background. It was only three IDs made in Korea.

"... you, you, you!"

Jua jumps from where she is. What Sihyun gave her was a pioneer-only ID. He knew the face of the Khalidom and Kedum who had the identity card. Situation where two out of three people escaped. There was only one left.

That's the second pioneer who recently appeared with the comet.

"The King of Shadows?!"

Jua falls asleep, startled. No matter how clumsy and impatient she was, she couldn't keep her cool with the national hero who broke Palatica. She was more surprised that she was the King of Shadows than the fact that she met the King of Shadows at the beginning.

"I didn't expect this either. Si-hyun, I didn't know you were a pioneer."

Jinhyun shakes his head and hides his trembling chest. It was true that he was surprised, but it was also understandable. He would, too. He conquered the army without a drop of sweat. Even with such skills, it was even more surprising if it was not a pioneer.

"But I'm not going to be special. I need to see my good brother Doug."

"Rather, that's what I wanted."

Unlike Jinhyun, who smoothly organized the situation with his fist and fist, Ju was in a lifetime of panic. In her head, who had been in the military since childhood, protests had the same meaning as death.

"So, the last time it was Perfect Zero, or before that, the original identity was civilian, and not this important, but I'm sorry about what I said!"

Jua bows her head in surprise. As a soldier, it was a reaction, but he was lost. A girl who might have just gone to high school raised her hand with her eyes wide open. It was natural for cute to come first rather than sullen.

"That's too bad about us, Sis. I didn't bring it out because I wanted to see it. I just showed it in the sense that I wanted to participate informally. And it's a secret, okay?"

He shakes his head up and down as he shakes his pioneer-specific ID. Sihyun sighed as she thought it would take some time to adjust.

Coldly, participating in the investigation of Jinhyun and Jua was a close act of privilege, but she decided to leave without hesitation. He was adopted as a preacher on a whim, and there was still so much he didn't know-the truth. That's why I needed to get in touch with Eclipse and take a closer look at the world's will.

And I wanted to know how the Eclipses were looking at the world. I also felt vague sympathy for my people, but I felt that I was the only one who could stop them when they were going the wrong way.

I walked to the victim's office to gather information about Jinhyun and Jua. Sihyun also followed behind them.

Fortunately, the victim, JangByeongju, was a member of the Hetero Countermeasures Division. His usual office was also nearby. Entering an office that he personally uses as an excuse to investigate was not that difficult.

"Se-hyun, look at your personal collection first."

"Got it."

Jua naturally gives you an order to make sure you're relaxed. He nodded softly and found a handy notebook in the basket of scattered documents.

He instinctively felt an unusual energy and opened his notebook. At the front, there was something about a small business or schedule. Looking down at the notebook that felt like it was for work, Hyun skipped the middle part and opened the back just in case.

On the other hand, there were a lot of strange texts. He frowned when he saw the unrecognizably blurry writing.

I said, "What are you doing? You're learning to be naughty."

The second thing I didn't understand was that the peculiarity I felt in the texts passed me by cold. The writing written on the back for jokes and hobbies contained systematic and strange power.

However, such a demonstration did not last long.

"Found it, Commander."

The last piece of paper was found in the trash by the victim, Petty Officer. As soon as Sihyun and Jua heard Jinhyun's words, they ran to where he was.

"What did you find, Captain?"

"Here it is. Here's the appointment time and location."

[3: 30 a.m. In front of the same building]

"Strange place at strange times."

While saying that, Joo realized that it would be a clue. It was close to the time of death of the victim.
