“Three days to go. ”

Murder clan executive Siffman mutters with a pleasant smile.

Kim Taehan, who was busy filling out the paperwork next to him, said with a grimace.

“Is that so much fun? I'm dying. ”

“This is special. I'm looking forward to it. ”

“Ha, special……. ”

Kim Taehan nodded.

Obviously, there was something different about this test. To do that, Siffman, an executive of the Murder Clan, also made a direct move.

Of course, it seemed like a pile of work for Taehan Kim to prepare for the exam himself.

“What are you going to do about this test? Are you sure you want to pick a random target? ”

“Wouldn't that be the most fun? In fact, when you finish deciding that, it's hard because there's too much work. ”

Taehan Kim bowed his head and asked me to save him.

There were hundreds of thousands of people in the dark right now. And this was a test for all of them.

We don't have enough hands to manage every one of those many. After all, it's impossible to manage the details.

“As always, I pity only those who come in here as unlucky as ever. ”

There were rare, but occasional, such individuals.

Idiots who don't know what the dark matter looks like, and only find the city because the portal to the dark matter is cheap.

They used to be tied to this lawless zone because they had no recharge to use the portal again.

They do not survive the dark matter. Especially this time of year.

The Murder Clan's tests were done on all the individuals who were living in the dark.

Their doctor was unimportant. Darmium is the domain of the Murderer clan. Order and order here are created by the Murder Clan.

“Do you have eyes on him? If you do, I can take a little look at your hands. ”

It was Taehan Kim who managed the test.

As long as he wanted to, he was able to manipulate the details of the test.

Kim Taehan added with a charming smile.

“This is actually kind of fun. Sometimes if there are people who are interested, they stick together and see who's stronger and who survives. ”

“Hmm……. ”

According to Taehan Kim, Siffman mutters, patting his chin to see if he was interested.

“The one who watches.... ”

Although not necessarily a mistake, there are countless people who voluntarily ride the portal to the dark matter.

There are psychopaths that enter the other side of the world that are completely different from reality, that are prone to murder or mental illness.

After a moment of thought, Siffman opens his mouth.

“A few. ”

“Who is it?”

Taehan lifts up his pen and turns around as if to say nothing.

Huff, puff -

Late morning.

Yoon Jae, who was in bed, was sweating cold.

I took a agonizing breath and grabbed my chest with one hand. The cold sweat that flowed through my body dampened my duvet.

“Brother, brother! ”

The normal person who woke up came and waved his body.

Yoon Jae breathed like he was about to die, and opened his eyes like he was choking.

“Huff!”

At the same time, Yoon Jae suddenly raised his torso while pushing his frustrated breath at the same time.

Yoon Jae, who had blurred his pupils and breathed for a long time, bit his teeth and covered his eyes with one hand.

Regular looking at him sighed and asked.

“That again? ”

Again.

It was the first time already. Similar dreams, repeated several times recently.

A dream in which my wife and daughter died and bowed down before him.

“…… damn it. ”

Yoon Jae muttered.

Recently, I've been having more frequent dream cycles, especially. It was a recurring nightmare, like it was written for something.

‘I was going to be unconscious.... ’

Yoon Jae turns his head and looks out the window.

The sun was rising a little in the dark. The morning was approaching.

‘Today.'

The day the Murder Clan's trial begins.

The sun was rising that day.

“Are you sure you're okay? He said that yesterday.”

In the back, the regular asked with a worried face.

I knew that Yoon Jae's condition recently was not so good.

As the exam approached, Yoon Jae seemed quicker and more restless.

It is the same for waking up breathless from nightmares repeated every night.

Even on the first day of the Dark Mix, the cycle has been too frequent lately.

“It's okay. I'm sorry to wake you. ”

Yoon Jae got up from his seat, shaking his head.

“You're already up? ”

“You're more glossy. ”

After answering roughly that, Yoon Jae opened the door and went out.

Then, gradually, I looked up at the cloudy sky. There were still a lot of clouds in the sky, but I could see the day was still coming.

A moderately good wind passed by. I felt a little better once I got out in the air.

‘It's quiet.’

Time is of the essence, but there are still no people on the streets. Everyone was breathing and waiting for the moment.

“Maybe somewhere here.... ”

Kwaak -

Yoon Jae clenched his fist and swallowed the horse behind his back.

Time flowed slowly like always, and the morning was bright one day.
