King of Shadows

When Alex asked, he had to move a beat late. He had the title "King of Shadows", but it was all his reputation in the outside world. He could not explain his accomplishments to the world for five years. However, the problem was short. It was funny to say his real name while hiding his identity.

"The King of Shadows."

Alex gives a vague look at the name he didn't even think of. His name surpassed his imagination. But Alex doesn't frown. I liked the title of Shi-hyun. He would, too. It's been a long time.

"That's an odd name. Is that like a code name?"

"You could say that."

Alex nods reasonably. Looking at the hunter dogs in the dark blue fog, you can see where the name "King of Shadows" comes from.

After completing his full name, Alex looked behind Hylea's back. I turned around and looked at myself just in case. But there was no one behind his back. The only thing in the ruined streets were Sihyun and the hound.

"Where are the others?"

"I'm the only one here. My colleagues are searching other districts."

"Are you referring to the street right next to the other district?"

"Farther than that. My district is south of Washington, D.C. I'm the only one around here."

"So you're the only one here, the King of Shadows?"

"Yes."

"..."

Alex can't say Moore. Washington, D.C. was a horror show. They are saying that they have entered such a place on their own. Alex cried out for the fact that the person who appeared in extreme situations, every hour of his life, was no more tense than he thought. As far as I could tell, the cord was about to rot. However, such complaints and questions could not go out of their mouths, but were just floating around in their necks.

Xihyun, who revealed the inside of the tributary, looked closely at the hetero that appeared with Alex. Whether the decomposition was ongoing or the internal fluids of the hetero were melted to a horrible degree.

He frowns. At least the hetero in front of the eye was not in a normal state.

It was impossible to identify heteros with various characteristics as one species, but they had one thing in common. It was all living creatures. In the beginning, it was a hetero who was born by breathing life into the human corpse.

The hetero that appeared in Washington, DC was unusual in that regard. It felt like the raw material was strong. It seemed to have climbed down a different stem from the hetero.

"Can you tell me what happened, by the way? The hetero that appeared with you appears to be dead. Is there some kind of special power in this city? Or is something weird going on?"

"... A special power can be a special power. because this is what it's been like since it came along."

Alex sighs when he asks. The more I think about it, the more painful I remember, but I can't keep my mouth shut. He slowly narrates.

A 'reanimated corpse' that appeared two years ago. And the disease of the reanimated corpse, Reverse. Xi failed to connect with the information that Washington, D.C. was being reorganized around the dead.

"The corpse that was resurrected became a mass by gathering other corpses. We call it the Mountain. It's a disaster that's roaming all over Washington, D.C., looking for prey."

Having heard Alex's explanation, I felt that the Mountain could be a pioneer-manager. It was because he was strong enough to bring down Washington, D.C., and he destroyed the body of the dead. It couldn't have been the pioneer of the circle.

"Does anyone know what the 'undead' look like?"

"I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure, but I heard there was no face from the beginning. It wasn't cut or lost, it literally didn't have a neck. That's odd, but sadly, no one knows the truth anymore."

"You have no choice but to believe."

After establishing the formula, "Resurrected Body = Neck Dead Body," he asked another question.

"I'd like to know more about a disease called Reverse. Is there anything in particular you should be aware of?"

"Nothing. No, I don't know. Both pathways and causes of infection are opaque. because even in the same situation, they get infected, and sometimes they stay dead as if nothing had happened. It was incredibly contagious, and all we could figure out was that reverse-infected bodies were instinctively mobile. because, you know, that's all you could see."

"I see."

Alex, who told me everything he knew about Juju, shifted as his mood suddenly changed. The situation has even changed. Alex scratches his head in embarrassment, unable to keep up with the flow of events.

"Don't you like something?"

"Too many. Too many to list."

Even before Alex opened his mouth, Shi Hyun grabbed his neck. Woodpeck breaks Alex's neck with a eerie sound. The spinal cord and spine suffered permanent damage, and the shattered bones pierced the blood vessels. Severe injuries that wouldn't be strange if he died there. But Alex's eyes sparkled like never before.

"Deadly, active corpse, in short, you mean something like you?"

"Ah, ah, no. So this is me, in unusual cases..."

Alex was unable to speak. I never thought I'd break his neck. Who would break the neck of a stranger? Alex is distracted by his boldness.

"Shut up."

Sihyun put his hand on Alex's chest. Unlike the others, his heart did not beat. It was just cold.

Corrected by perfection, the demonstration uncovered Alex's identity from the beginning. He tried to hide the stench that was emanating from his body, but his nose could see through Alex's efforts.

"... were not infected with Reverse from the beginning. And there's not enough infected to be rational. Don't you think it's different in many ways than you said it would be?"

"Well, I'm a mutant. I just got lucky and I didn't want it to be like this."

"You can't be a mutant because you're lucky. Don't you think you're being a little overly sophisticated? I can't believe you didn't have enough Reverse infections to bring the hetero this way. Why are you running so desperately because you don't want to die? Is that what you wanted me to find out?"

"Bo, that's an instinctive move!"

"You really don't make excuses."

He quickly moved on to the next level because he didn't even work to hear Alex's excuses. Alex is here because it's like saying that someone with intense malice is nearby.

What he wanted was to quickly and accurately eliminate hazards. It wasn't his taste to flirt with dace.

"Ha, but..."

Don't make excuses. Tell the truth.

When the energy of the manipulator of all things hit the temple, Alex's mouth betrayed his will and finished a story.

"Mountain wanted more sacrifices. But over the last five years, the number of sacrifices has been decreasing. As he was searching for a new bow, Mountain knew in advance that the search party would go in to rescue the survivors, and he made a plan to lure the search party right away."

"You must be part of the plan."

"That's right."

I heard that there are large traps lurking around, but I was not surprised. because it was a predetermined thing. I didn't think The One pioneer would retreat so easily.

That's why I put all the people I can trust in the search party. Lynn and Bererosa, and one and Sherry. They were all apostles of Shi Hyun. Not to mention having the ability to block variables sufficiently.

"Lead me to the Mountain."

Sihyun smiles faintly at Alex. At this point, it was the Mountain that was most likely the pioneer of the circle. Alex was a direct ticket to that mountain. Sihyun had no intention of letting Alex go.

"Oh, no. I can do anything else, but I can't do it alone. Please, I'm gonna ask you this."

"I'm not asking. Orders. Lead the way. You don't want to die here, do you? You'd better not brag about coming back from the dead."

Alex bows his head to the thought of joining the body as a whole. His body caused an elongated convulsion. Alex, who swallowed his thirsty saliva, finds himself strangely mispointed.

Xi Hyun's eyes were the same as that of the Mountain. Despite just looking at it, the mind melts into darkness and the body collapses. There was something touching Sihyun or Mountain or Human fears and fears.

"It's the same. With Mt. Tim..."

/335

Lin and Bererosa, who are in charge of the north of Washington, D.C., look at the ruined streets alongside members of Savior. A situation in which many heteros have been killed, but no survivors have been found. They take a break, vigilant.

Lin frowns at the stench that passes through her nose, bringing out the questions that come to her mind outside her mouth.

"I don't see any farms."

Having a hetero was like having a ranch installed. But there was no sign of the ranch until she reached the center of the street. Strange was not the only thing. Despite the disappearance of the Grandeliols, the sky was as thick as a cloud. It seemed to be affected by the 'great power'.

"What do you think of Bererosa?"

"I think it's unusual. Maybe this place isn't what we know it is. You'd better be careful."

"Can't you see the future?"

"You know better than anyone that it's not up to me."

Bererosa tries to look into the future with her third eye, but nothing shines in her eyes. Everything was just as blurry as a dark mist.

Can't you see it's an okay future without the need for a third eye? I don't think I can see it because the future isn't set. Many families have passed by in my head, but Bererosa has no choice. The former was fortunate, but the latter was accompanied by a afterstorm that couldn't even stop her.

Bererosa controls the anxiety that seeps from deep inside her heart. It was her absolute belief in any situation that she would be able to survive the vague anxiety of touching her senses.
