M E M O R I Z E

The Deadmen are sneaking towards us, sniffing their noses. Skin is torn apart and rattled, with rotten bones on its face. It gives a grotesque impression.

And I was terrified of the eyes of the children watching them. Until the day before, they were ordinary people, but in less than a day's time, they asked me to look at Deadman and expect prudent behavior.

Grrrrrrr. Grrrrrrrrr.

The dead man at the front cries. Seeing the slow pace, it doesn't look like it's stuck yet. However, I frowned as I watched one at the end of the room turn to the other with a cry. Treating three animals at the same time like this is like crossing the water.

Grrrrrrr. Grrrrrrrrr.

Every time the Deadman cries, the trees feel less trembling. Let's turn our heads. It was Ansol. She's trembling heavily, leaning against the tree.

Ugh. Ugh.

With the sound of the grass drawn, two dead men soon reached the tree line. Those who pause and tilt their heads begin to slowly advance again. The perimeter of the tree that we are currently leaning on is quite large, so I send a signal to the group. Every time the Deadman moves a step, we move to the side just as much. Deadmen are more likely to take it right away if they suddenly turn to the side, but they tend to be straightforward at best, so there's a chance they won't.

One step closer. One step at a time.

One step closer. One step at a time.

One step closer. One step at a time.

Let's repeat that three or four times. We were halfway around the tree one day, and Deadman also entered the line where we could see where we were before.

Everyone around us was quiet enough to kill the sound of breath. As he shakes his head and looks around, Deadman bursts into disgruntled tears and starts walking slowly forward again. It was about time we had some relief on everyone's face that we just had to hang on a little longer in this state.

Tick, tick, tick!

“Suck!”

Ansol, who tightly closed his eyes trembling all over his body, eventually made a sound by teasing his feet. You bend your head and see a small branch that she broke. She lets out a loud, loud scream that can't hide her screams. Eventually, Satan was born.

Grrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrrr! Grrrrrrr!

The deadman's crying starts to get louder. The group hears that sound and can't move. Their footsteps get quicker and quicker, and they pull out their hideous faces along the perimeter of the tree where we've been hiding. I'm stuck.

“Rrrrghhh!”

“Ugh! Ugh! ”

Suddenly, the Deadman lunges with his red teeth wide open. Ansol ended up screaming. Since Ahn-hyun was covering his mouth with one hand, it did not sound louder than I thought, but at least the three around him clearly heard it.

The moment of the incision. At the same time, I aimed for a crossbow, and Ahn Hyun raised his left hand to defend himself and Ansol's body. The dead man and Ahn Hyun's shield clashed as they pushed their faces forward.

Bang!

I heard a crash and saw An-hyun's body swing. Fortunately, the defense succeeded, but the Deadman took a step back. The nerves were dispersed while protecting the brush with your right hand. And as I watched the subsequent Deadman rush forward, I quickly tried to pull the crossbow protest. And at that moment, the thought of passing through the brain, I lowered the crossbow that had aimed at my head slightly and then fired the arrow.

'One or two is not enough.'

The crossbow, flying with a ping, pierces the chest of the second runner, Deadman. While the Deadman was rattling, I immediately pulled out a longsword tied to my waist.

“An-hyun! Send your brother this way! And use this sword! ”

An-hyun turned his back on the Deadman charging towards him. He pushed the anvil toward me while simultaneously extending his right hand.

“Then please! ”

At the end of An-hyun's words, the dead men took a few steps back from the shield shock again, but in the meantime, they pushed him toward me. She sprints towards me as if slipping, and I throw my sword in the direction that makes An-hyun as comfortable as possible. Longsword and anvil intersect midway. I could hear Reason Jung and Gimhanbyol's urgent voice behind me, holding Ansol running almost like a fall safely.

“Behind you! ”

“Watch your back! ”

'I know.'

When I look back, the dead man who turned the other way was running behind me. For the unsub, this may be a fleeting moment, but my cognitive cortex has already surpassed his. In just two seconds, I loaded a crossbow and aimed for the glabella. And fire.

Puck!

This time, the arrow dug into Deadman's head without any pressure, because it was aiming for his eyebrows.

“Huh…. Oww... Oww... ”

Just by my side, I thought it was a seizure of Ansol. But when I hugged her, she was crying so hard that I could see her. I don't know. I stroked Ansol's head and I said, "It's okay.” I whispered and felt her tremor a little more frequently.

An-hyun's eyes, equipped with swords and shields, were filled with fear. But he doesn't back down. You face your fears straight ahead and your legs are planted straight on the ground. And that was the attitude I wanted for An-hyun and the rest of the group. An-hyun's spiritual Awakening began a little.

Ahn Hyun lifted his shield to the top of his chest. As the best defense is said to be the best attack, it was a good choice. He doesn't swing his sword first, but instead, he charges at them with his shield.

Bang! Bang!

This charge is quite powerful and you can hear something breaking. Taking a closer look, it seemed that Ahn Hyun-do was pushing all his strength into the depression of the Deadman's chest hit by the shield. Seeing the sword swiftly raise as if to slash with a counter attack, I threw out a useful horse.

“Aim for the head. They have weaknesses in their heads. ”

Anywhere An-hyun tried to strike the sword, she struck the sword with her head as if she had heard me. The foam was poor, but the deadman in front of him couldn't resist much and split his head open.

The fate of the subsequent Deadman was no different. Instantly aims at the head while defending or shocking in the same way as before. With the sound of something dull stabbing, the Deadman twitches a couple of times, then breaks down with Ahn Hyun's sword. Ahn Hyun hurriedly drew his sword and turned his head to a dazed face.

Rough breathing dominates the area. After I killed Deadman safely, I vomited my last breath at the same time. Block with shield and stab with knife. What An-hyun did was simple, but not for everyone. What if Deadman went to someone else? Even if it's not rigid enough to move like an anvil, a clean series of attacks would have been difficult with Deadman in front of them.

An-hyun stretched out his arms and breathed harshly.

“Huff…. Ugh... I didn't know when I hit it with a rock from above, but it's hard to stick to it. ”

Of course. If life is in a state of awareness and you can keep your cool and control your body however you want, that's great. At that time, I felt a little thing in my body twitching, so I let go of my little arm. Then Ansol ran like a fly and looked at An-hyun's condition.

“Brother... Are you okay?"

“Nowhere gets bitten. Looks good to me. ”

“Ugh…. Ugh... I'm sorry... ”

“Don't cry. ”

Ansol shed tears to see if he knew his brother was in danger. An-hyun said that she was literally fine, but she didn't see any signs of tears falling from An-sol. Yu-jeong walked around with a face that he had endured for ten years, and said, pounding An-hyun's back.

“Thanks to you. You're pretty good.”

"If Soo-hyun hadn't given me this, I would have suffered a lot. Oh, brother, I'll give you this back."

I shake my head as I draw my longsword again with my regrettable hands. Then, Ahn Hyun's face turned white.

“I think you'd better have a longsword. ”

“Can I really do that? ”

“Yes. You have a crossbow anyway. But where did you get your sword? ”

Ahn Hyun bowed his head to me with a longsword. Soon, seeing the two of Ahn Hyun and Yu Jeong chattering together, I smiled with joy. I had just aimed at Deadman's glabella, but I deliberately shot an arrow at his chest.

'I think it's okay....'

“Wait a minute.”

At that moment, Gimhanbyol looks at our faces with a slightly uneasy face that has allowed him to flick the stone and rattle the Deadman. I couldn't help but wonder what she'd say since she was quiet.

“Even in the open... didn't you kill one of these things and then just jump in?" ”

“Th…. Did you?”

Everyone's face changed after accepting the reason with a shaky face. In particular, Ansol was very likely to have a seizure. An-hyun hurriedly tapped his brother's back to see if he had detected an attack.

“Then why don't you get out of here as soon as possible? ”

“Well, whatever. Well, why don't you just run in the opposite direction he walked? ”

“Well…. No. Let's keep going. If we turn now, we might spend the night in these woods. ”

Amazingly, Ahn Hyun was thinking of leaving this place within the day. I would have stroked my head if I had a relationship with my teacher and priest, but now I was satisfied with just nodding and agreeing. Although several dead men were detected in front of him, Ahn Hyun's words were correct.

After a while, we quickly started leaving the place we had just been.
