Chapter 356 – #3-22 Hardship, Hardship (2)
I thought something would come out.
The other person was a woman who had asserted the crazy words of a moment ago with a confident voice.
Whether you get angry like a fire, or hide those feelings and speak softly.
Spade and Maybell expected that kind of response.
In the case of Maybell, she’s just thinking about how to ping-pong next.
However.
The reaction of the opponent, the boss of [Dawn], Was quite different from what the two expected.
“… … I know.”
She is the opponent’s boss.
With eyes that lost their light in a daze, as if their souls had gone out in an instant.
Just muttering in vain
In an empty voice, she puts the questions that have arisen in her own mind into her mouth.
“How… West… ? I am…”
That answers Maybell’s question.
‘What are you doing while licking and sucking other people’s butts like that… ‘ To that question.
‘Why am I… ?’.
Even as she stands here on her own volition.
The cause is unknown.
Why did he think this way, and why did he want to do this?
The [Dawn] Boss didn’t understand it and muttered emptyly.
“What… ? Why are you there?”
It was a muttering from a while ago, and Maybell said as if wondering at the villain boss’s reaction, which seemed to be in the present progressive.
‘… Brainwashing… !’
Spade, standing by Maybell’s side, was the only one present to grasp the situation and grind his teeth.
It was not difficult to predict.
This is what ‘that’ Dorothy and her brother who created the brainwashing pills do.
Just as #13 did with the 7th Division, perhaps Dorothy also organized this organization in the same way——
“Ah… ?”
At that time, the dazed eyes of the boss of [Dawn] Turned bright for an instant.
Her bowed head rises rapidly again.
That hand is on a terminal in the shape of an earphone plugged into the ear.
It’s the same kind that the Spades and the members of the 13th side infiltrated here have put in their ears.
“Ah, yes… Yes. All right… Eliminate the intruder… No problem.”
What kind of story is being heard through that terminal?
The light that came to life more and more quickly returned to its original state.
His face was covered with a proud, unmistakable smile.
“Good. I can’t help it if you don’t accept my offer. I will stop breathing right here.”
“… That’s a normal child.”
Seeing her start a conversation again as if nothing had happened just a moment ago, Maybell said in a pitiful way.
Even as she said that, as if she knew that her rest was over, her hand moved and played with her brush.
Write, Do.
In a semicircle centered on Maybell, lines of dark ink remain.
From the thick ink drawn like that, beasts that seem to have been drawn with the same ink that was used to wipe out the terminal villains below start to rise one by one.
Beasts stand as if guarding Maybell and Spades.
To be seen by such beasts, Maybell pointed at the enemy with the tip of the brush.
“It’s all over, so come on, scumbags.”
As if responding to Mabel’s provocation.
The burly, muscular villain next to the [Dawn] Boss began to grow rapidly with a loud cry.
Wooddeuk
Wooded, wooded, wooded!!!
“—————————!!!!”
A body that swells, a body that grows ferocious.
In just a few seconds.
The body, which was originally close to 2 meters, grew to 3 meters at once, the entire skin became as hard as a rock, horns and nails, as well as countless weapons and teeth, transformed into a monster that grew here and there.
With such a monster and loyal subordinates by his side, the [Dawn] Boss gracefully reached out his hand—— and ordered.
“… Good. Kill those unlucky hero bitches.”
Starting from it.
The battle has begun.
* * *
… … …
… …
…
“Cheuk… Black… Ugh… !”
“No. 13… ! No. 13, are you okay?!”
[No. 13! Are you okay?!]
Meanwhile, that’s when Spade and Maybell start a battle with the enemy’s main characters.
No. 13 and Apple, who were going up another passageway and another stairway, were lying in a miserable state.
No, only one person in Room 13 suffered a miserable situation.
‘Explosion… ! I would have been wary of something like a bomb… !’
While going up the stairs smoothly without encountering enemies, a part of the stairs and the wall suddenly burst and attacked the two.
Perhaps it was because he became sensitive to danger after going through many things, although like Spade, No. 13 was able to react one step ahead with only intuition.
However, in the wide and intense explosion, No. 13 could do nothing but protect Apple using his body as a shield.
There is no means to deflect the impact of an explosion as skillfully as a spade or Maybell, or to jump far in the moment…
“No. 13! Mr. 13, it’s okay… ?!”
“It hurts so bad. It’s not about dying though. Than that——”
“… It wasn’t like remote detonation with electronics. No bombs were planted, and all surveillance equipment was shut down, so they couldn’t have targeted us accurately using mechanical equipment.”
“… It must be an explosion using this ability.”
Regardless of whether or not Apple can detect such a bomb, at least the electronic device is required to remotely detonate the bomb.
There was no way to install trap-type mines in this place where regular customers come and go.
While coughing up blood from lacerations and burns all over her body and the shock that spread to her insides, Number 13 stood up.
Rattle… And concrete shards fall from his body.
Fortunately for Apple, there were only a few dust on the body and face, but no other injuries.
“I do, bo… Seagull. The oriole side is all right.”
I tried to call it Boss, but changed it back to the original code name.
Even Violet, who had forgotten the code name or something because she was surprised right before, regained her composure for a moment and spoke.
[Confirming simultaneous explosions right before. The White-breasted, Teal, and Peasant also experienced an explosion, but they say there is nothing wrong.]
“Is that so… This ability to cause an explosion, and this ability to monitor the explosion from a distance so that it can be fired at the perfect timing… That’s not good. It just means you can’t go up.”
[… No, I don’t think there’s any need to worry about that.]
At the words of No. 13, Violet said something negative.
[An explosion just now, not just where you are… It happened all over the hotel, even in the public area. All at once.]
Violet says.
Explosions aren’t just where intruders are.
I mean.
Bombs, or something that could explode, were prepared here and there in advance.
Now that Apple’s powers can’t pinpoint the location of intruders… Could it be that they just detonated all at the right time in a way that said, “Get caught?”
Just kidding, the words almost came out of my throat.
The explosion just before had enough lethal power to kill two or three people at once.
You just set it off to catch intruders who don’t know where they are or how many they are?
By feeling?
Where are the common people?
“… This crazy bitch!!”
In order to be a little more calm, I proceed with my thoughts, and think more things.
After that, I finally couldn’t stand it and screamed.
My whole body was destroyed by the explosion a while ago, so my body and head are throbbing, but I hear a nonsense sound and my head rises.
“Dorothy, what is this bitch doing?! Even if you’re a villain, this is… !”
In today’s society, people are very sensitive to trouble and terrorism.
It’s completely different from #13’s foolishness, terrorism that feels like a proportion to simply announce their existence.
Isn’t this something reminiscent of the [Great Disaster], A large-scale villainous terror in the past?
The time when the weight of life became lighter and normal daily life was impossible because you did not know when and how you would die.
Those days when everyone trembled in fear and the whole city seemed dead, day or night.
There must be many more people whose trauma from that time has not completely disappeared yet.
By the way, Kimhi did something like this… !
[Calm down. There’s no way Dorothy would allow her to do this. The [Dawn] Boss isn’t the type to do things like this either.]
Violet’s calm voice eased the anger of #13 a little.
[There is only one culprit I can think of. You know number 13 as well.]
“Dorothy’s brother…”
[Okay. If you know, what will you do now?]
To a young lady younger than herself, she is calming and soothing like a child.
Feeling so sorry for himself, #13 covered his face for a while.
“… I will move quickly.”
[Yes, catch that little brother so that there are no more victims on the part of the general public.]
Yes.
Now is the time to hurry it up.
“Hey, Mr. 13… It is better to heal the wounds.”
“… No. Not yet.”
Number 13 has no means to heal its wounds.
She had previously healed Spade’s wounds, but it was only with her own magic, with her own magic, that she helped heal her wounds.
No. 13 himself does not have such an ability, and he must die once to use his special skill 【Resurrection】.
Of course, a large amount of mana is consumed, so be careful.
“Move your legs. Eight provinces of Korea… Go up here are you okay. That’s enough.”
Having said that, my legs trembled and one foot was crushed by the pile of concrete, so I couldn’t see it.
I can barely lift my arm up to shoulder level, but the burns on my back are so bad that the skin doesn’t pull up any more.
Apple, with some medical knowledge, was able to determine Number 13’s condition at a glance, but raised no further objections.
If No. 13 would do it.
She can’t stop his claim.
“… Let’s go up.”
“Yes, Mr. 13.”
Apple nodded.
The two carefully start climbing the half-collapsed stairs again.
