It was in deep darkness.

Both hands and feet are tied to the chair.

I can not see anything.

No, no.

I'm blindfolded.

"Good morning. How do you feel?"

I heard the voice of a woman without emotion.

Spiders know that it sounds like a girl, but of a monstrous monster.

"Everything is useless. I won't vomit."

"I don't mind. Spider, the fifth stage of the assassination cult.

The word spiders upset.

(Why ... why does this woman know that ...?)

Did they vomit, who would have been restrained together?

No, they're professional.

I don't think I'll be open to any torture.

"Why know that?"

To the spider who tried to extract information,

"If you look up, you know."

Monsters say something easy.

"Because we have the eyes to see the whole world,"

(How many information networks do you have, this organization ...?!)

A spider that will make a phrase.

"Tricks and resistance are useless. Did you understand?"

"……all right"

In this situation where even the enemy is not fully grasped, bargaining is too risky.

For now, you have to obey.

"I just don't know one thing.

The evil girl said in a calm voice.

"I can see that there is a different amount for each princess, but it would be funny if the second prince, who was seen as the most powerful in this throne succession, was not the highest."

to continue.

"Why is the 17th princess set the highest amount?"

That's what the Spider himself was wondering about.

Defective: Refused from the clan. If this is known, the name of the house may be damaged.

However, it is too strange that such an abnormal amount of money is made.

"I don't know. Only the information necessary for the mission is known within the organization."

"Yes, let's talk to those who know it."

"Do you know?"

"If you talk to all the thirteen steps, don't you think there is one person who knows?"

“…………!”

Spiders go crazy.

This woman is going to destroy the thirteen stairs of the assassination cult that is the pinnacle of the back society, the corner ... ?

I can't do that.

After thinking so reflexively, I swallow the words.

If these monsters ... could be done.

"What is your purpose ...?"

"Because we have to judge those who deceive our God."

"Doraavi ..."

"That's it."

As the voice softens, Spider learns that she smiled.

The monsters seem to be insatiated by God and their worshipers.

This is an organization with such great power.

If you don't, even the whole world could be seized.

God to believe-for Doraavi.

(What is Doraavi ...?)

Spider thinks.

The last message should have arrived.

I hope that the members of the cult will solve that mystery.

On that day, a thirteen-step staircase gathered in the underground cathedral owned by the assassination cult to hold a meeting.

A guard net laid more tightly than usual.

Members disguised as civilians are observing the surroundings with a keen eye for one rat.

In such a meeting, Scorpion was sinking into the sea of thought.

The mystery of Spider's last mysterious message, Doraavi, has not been solved.

Then, how will you act in the future?

"Stop all operations until you get the full picture of the enemy and have no choice but to hide."

The meeting is proceeding in the direction initially indicated by the Scorpion.

The loss of the spider, who had opposed the hardline, may have reminded those who were dissatisfied.

No problem.

There should be no problem.

But the Scorpion couldn't help but feel something stuck.

Something without shape is circling in Scorpion's head.

The Scorpion leaves and ponders as he walks down the corridor of the underground cathedral.

(What? What's stuck ...?)

What suddenly caught my eye was a surveillance camera that worked everywhere.

A red light indicates that the lamp is functioning properly.

Despite thinking too much, Scorpion heads to the Central Management Office.

"How was it, Scorpion?"

"No, a little"

More than fifty video monitors lined up.

Checking them all at once in an indirect view, Scorpion knows that nothing has gone wrong.

It was as calm as a calm Sunday morning.

Signals of members who are alerting in the vicinity are all lit at predetermined positions.

All the information there tells Scorpion that no problems have occurred.

(Do you think too much?)

Scorpion says, stroking his chest down.

"Can you rewind the video a little?"

"Yes, I understand"

There is no deep meaning in the words that you say without any care.

I just wanted to be careful.

The 47th surveillance camera is from the corridor where Scorpion walked earlier.

If you rewind, you should see his figure.

The video rewinds.

Scorpion was not shown there.

(――――!)

Take a breath.

Something ... Something is happening.

"Send communication to all security groups who are on the alert outside."

"Huh? But nothing is abnormal."

"Send, order!"

"I've acknowledged!"

Communication sent.

But not connected.

Only the dial tone continues to sound.

"this is……?"

"An enemy attack. Intercept with maximum strength."

The Scorpion jumps out of the administration room and runs to the meeting room.

Already the enemy has completely neutralized allies who have been guarding outside.

(If you don't hurry ...!)

"Enemies! Enemies!"

The other thirteen stairs stared at the Scorpion jumping into the conference room.

"Such ... impossible ..."

"It's true"

Friends who jump out of the conference room to intercept.

Scorpion's feet stop following his back.

Both legs do not move as if they were rooted.

Could not move forward.

(I'm ... scared ...?)

Impossible.

The fear must have been overcome long ago.

However, the legs do not move forward.

He instinctively realized.

One of the members of the religion cannot beat the enemy they are facing.

(I have to escape ... I have to escape ...!)

Scorpion runs.

Opposite direction to the enemy.

Emergency hidden passage known only to some members of the organization.

Run away from pride and the status of the thirteen steps to survive.
