King of Shadows

The victim was killed walking down a creepy alley where no one was going. The murderer, Eclipse, was at least following the victim's behavior as a sergeant. It was more likely that he was a culprit or someone with a deeper story.

"What kind of promise is this? No matter how much I think about it, I don't understand that I made an appointment to meet someone at dawn. as long as there's no wind."

Research suggests that the victim was one of the most ordinary researchers, making the question even bigger. The Soldier was a person who could be seen everywhere he lived doing his usual job without being caught up in misdemeanor or petty quarrels. He was a model citizen far from crime and deviance.

"Don't settle anything. Nobody has a story. First thing we do is go out there and judge him."

"Yes, it's not far from here if you're in the same building."

After entering between Jinhyun and Jua, who exchanged opinions, she gave them the notebook she found.

"Look at this notebook."

"Did you write something?"

Jua, who received the notebook, turned the page and asked. With his finger, he spread the page exactly as he saw it.

"I think there's something fishy written on the back. What do you think?"

Ju shakes his head at the ominous text that gives him dizziness just by looking at it. There was a strange line of writing in front of her eyes. Armed with an unprecedented system, the text was creating a strange atmosphere somewhere.

"Password?"

Upon realizing that he could not read it normally, Ju assumed that the letters written on the notebook could be a password. But nothing was caught. Jua was trained in basic decryption, but none of the patterns she knew would apply.

"I don't think it's a joke, Commander."

"Yes, there are words - traces - repeated in the same format everywhere. It must mean something."

The distribution of words was more likely to follow the laws of Jeep. The high probability of following the laws of Jeep is also the high probability that the system of language will be captured. Jua picks up her notebook and invites someone to investigate in more detail.

"Dr. Kang-sung will know better than any of us. Decryption is like his stand-in."

After completing one such investigation, Jua visited the fifth lab with Sihyun and Jinhyun. She immediately showed him the notebook with the unidentified language. Following her positive answer to the investigation, she took a step into the alleyway in which the incident took place this morning.

So far, the clue that the victim, Petty Officer, died there was no coincidence. He was clearly walking towards the meeting place with purpose and intent.

"... is the current situation."

"But could the Eclipse have just committed murder for pleasure? There must be a story about him, but I don't think it has anything to do with the Eclipse."

Jinhyun, an experienced associate of the Eclipses, gives his opinion honestly. The Eclipses he knew were a whole bunch of crazy ones. Of course, there were even human-like people, but that was so few that they couldn't even use it as a specimen.

"I admit I can't rule out your opinions, but the timing of the criminals' actions was different. I'm not acting emotionally. I'm trying to calm the victim down, which is more than anything else."

"That means it's been a long time since I've been an Eclipse. It's not accidental to target the victim."

"Yeah, and besides, there's no record of him in the Hetero Countermeasures database. In other words, he's lived in secrecy, undetected. And now you kill people for pleasure? This can't be happening. Something must have happened between them."

"You've done this before, but it's possible you haven't been discovered."

Jua frowned as she asked. It was because of the thought that there was also a possibility that he could not let go. But she immediately erased the idea.

"Very unlikely. That means you have to avoid the eyes of people who have the Stigma of the Navigation family. Based on the footage from CCTV, the Eclipse's ability to detonate is close to an explosion. There's no way to hide traces or trails from the eyes of the powerful. So if he'd done the same thing before, he wouldn't have been found out."

"Isn't there a possibility of an organization being formed? The Eclipses could have only been united for crime."

"If I had, I wouldn't have been on CCTV."

"So is he."

As they exchanged opinions with each other, she arrived at the scene of the incident and saw the pathway melted down miserably. The black mark still seemed to be holding the heat at that time.

"Tsk, this is the kind of place we can't track down."

There was a yellow tape with access restrictions written around the scene, but Joo grabbed them lightly and went inside. Sihyun also approached the place where the victim, Petty Officer, had fallen down with Jinhyun.

"... terrible."

Sihyun looked around. There was flesh that was thought to be a sergeant on top of the black-melted alleyway, whether it had not been completely removed. Jinhyun, who was investigating the trail calmly, looked up at the seven-story building across the alleyway.

"By the way, as soon as you get out of this alleyway, you can see the same building."

"That's why Eclipse picked this place as the crime scene. Especially in the dark."

"Could the victim and Eclipse have known each other from the beginning?"

"I don't know. But if you two knew each other, it would have been the Eclipse the victim promised."

"Isn't that a little weak? Commander."

Jinhyun shook his hand and denied Jua's words. It was ridiculous.

The investigation was already done that none of the soldiers he knew had turned into Eclipse. No one was even known to have gone missing. There is no possibility of work. In such a situation, there could not have been a close connection between him and Eclipse.

"Maybe..."

Demonstration is analysis, investigation, and tracking. Stigmas specialized in exploration were refined. Everything we could call a clue or a trail at the scene was burned, so finding Eclipse's trail would be difficult.

Nevertheless, he exercised his ability. It's all about real hope. He was taken aback.

It was because the expressed stigmas pointed to a space-space that was not even 200 meters apart. Sim is stunned by the fact that the Eclipse who did this is not far away. If Eclipse 'trail had been any further, he would not have been able to find out.

Is that an expression of absolute confidence? Or does it have anything to do with anyone? Although he had heard of the unsub reappearing at the scene of the crime, he immediately informed Chua and Jinhyun that he had never heard of living nearby.

"... I remember a saying to hide trees in the woods, Commander. I never thought I'd be hiding in a place like that."

"It's been a long time, Captain. I didn't see that coming."

Jua, who heard the detailed explanation from Sihyun, looked at him with a fresh look. Talents from the Eclipse task force searched the scene, but found no sign of Eclipse. It was the worst environment for exercising abilities. However, as you can see, Sihyun went through the conditions and found traces.

"Your abilities are in play."

"Thank you, Sis."

He merely judged the demonstration that he did not know the norms of ordinary abilities to be the fault of Eclipse.

After escaping the scene, Shi Hyun takes Jua and Jinhyun and walks to the spot where the Stigmas are pointing. He doesn't even walk 200 meters, so he sees a treaty building in front of him.

The site where the Eclipse's work was connected was where the construction was stopped. The building was evident with a thick type H iron bone. With immeasurable correction, Jihyun entered a space with a distinctive dry smell that was distinctive to concrete, identifying a presumed eclipse.

"Obviously. Eclipse is here."

"How do you, no, let's focus on catching the culprit."

Navigation, tracking and color. Jua shakes her head at the endless ability of the demonstration. But it was only for a moment that I was amazed. She steps into the building nervous.

Jua, who had concealed her best, walked forward, leaving her behind. As she steps on the stairs and climbs upstairs, she leans back in a hurry to hear the rustling sound. Jinhyun and Sihyun, who were going up with her, quickly hid themselves.

"I knew it."

"I see."

"I'm right."

They saw two Eclipses on the second floor having a conversation with an indescribable voice and language. Eclipse, who was unilaterally speaking, had the appearance of a lizard, and Eclipse, which seemed to have a short-lived answer, had a frog-like shape. Not to mention they both have a black coat in common.

"What's he talking about?"

"Well, only they know that."

"... is that what the victim's notebook says?"

At the same time, Jua and Jinhyun remembered the language written on the notebook. Unknown character. An indescribable language. Then the two of them burst into astonishing elasticity. We found the only link between the murdered sergeant and the murdered Eclipse.

"Arrest him first."

Suddenly, Jua named the two Eclipses Lizards and Frogs. It was a name based on appearance, so it was easy to judge.

"But which one is the culprit? And the footage on the CCTV was blurry, so I couldn't see it exactly."

"If you arrest them both, you'll know if you don't want to."

Emergency arrest warrant for Eclipse. It was also the right of the Eclipse task force. Jua switches between the lizard and the frog with a sharp eye and quickly makes a decision.

"You and the frogs will catch the lizard. Can you handle that?"

"Yeah, not bad."

Sihyun nods. A situation torn by Dagon's blood. I smiled satisfactorily at Jua's judgment because I wanted to reduce the variables as much as possible in situations where I could not go back to Bone-Cetillion.

"Then I'll go first."

With endless corrections, Jihyun approaches the lizard and the frog more quickly than Juah and Jinhyun blink. In a comatose world, Jihyun snatches the lizard's neck. He also tried to grab the frog's neck with his remaining hand, but his hand only stiffened the air.

"... scattered?"

The frog that saw the lizard get caught quickly exerts its power. The power he gained as he entered the frog-shaped Eclipse was' the leap of salvation. 'It was the ability to run completely under any circumstance.

Depending on the situation, he was able to fly, hide his appearance, or jump to a limited space. Frogs turned into fog by using the leap of salvation and were scattered by the wind to choose a way to fly far away.
