ㅇㅇ : I mean this. Isn’t it a pilcrum shadow?

ㅇㅇ : ㅇㅇ I think it was drawn by Pilcrum?

ㅇㅇ : Didn’t Mr. Dragon imitate you?

ㅇㅇ : Mr. Dragon must have taken revenge. Haven’t you ever f*cked a pilcrum bastard before?

SKELTON: Hmm…

ㅇㅇ : Hmm, ㅇjㄹ and fall asleep, the influx bastard

It’s no wonder that Mr. Dragon’s new work gets mixed reviews.

Actually, it was drawn by Pilcrum.

I gave him a few hints.

One of them is that he must never reveal that he is Pilcrum.

As a result, Mr. Dragon has now been reborn as a mystical writer who does not communicate anything other than his work.

There were also difficulties.

Message from DragonC: Hey, people on the Viva forum keep sending messages and pretending to be friendly. What should I do?

“hmm······.”

SKELTON: Ignore or block.

Message from DragonC: OK. I’ll do that. But what should you do if your child or wife is sick or has to go outside?

SKELTON: Send me a message. I always have painkillers and antibiotics on hand.

Message from DragonC: Thank you very much. And I’m sorry. How and what to say about this situation…

SKELTON: Time will tell.

Literally.

Time will solve everything.

Sooner or later, our destinies are converging toward a single destination.

Gijayangban: Observation of large-scale disruption at Paju Gate.

Gijayangban : There is information that super-large species have also been sighted

Gijayangban : I will check the situation later and post additional breaking news

After a long time, the reporter Yangban did his duty.

His or her information was warm information that hadn’t even been uploaded to Failnet.

“…”

It is a pity that among the many videos I bought before the war, there are no instructions on how to operate an espresso machine.

I enjoyed drinking coffee, but I wasn’t someone who couldn’t live without coffee, and there was a great substitute called mixed coffee.

I’m eating it in moderation by roughly controlling it with my senses, but it doesn’t taste like the way Mr. Dragon used to burn it in his lifetime.

Since Defender’s brother used to work at a cafe, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to invite him over and learn how to use it.

Drinking poorly brewed coffee, I waited for news from the reporter.

From nob le mt l dot com

Gijayangban: Confirmed five super-sized species.

“I’m scolded.”

In a way, it should have happened right away.

At the point when the legionnaires who guarded the rift gave up on defense and started a civil war.

The rift, which scientists are trying to define as something similar to a wormhole, is simply a passageway between Earth and the Other World.

It is literally a passage.

The crack itself has a will, so it’s not about spitting out monsters or grabbing people.

The monster on the other side of the rift just passed through the passage and appeared on Earth.

Hunters and soldiers deployed for the first time in the rift are first surprised by the actual appearance and size of the rift, and then surprised again that they are freer than expected and have nothing to do.

Just because there is a crack doesn’t mean that the monster will greet you every day.

As short as once a week, there were times when one appeared, and at times, there were cases where it did not appear even once for more than 100 days.

The doctrine of dispatching advance scouts into the rift was established, and so-called “forecasting” became possible, reducing the amount of work beyond the rift.

But sometimes, like a volcanic eruption, a huge swarm erupts explosively through the rift, as if drawn by something.

In China, it is called offensive, but in other countries, it is called eruption, which means a volcanic eruption.

Personally, I think the latter is a more accurate expression.

Considering its explosive momentum and overwhelming scale reminiscent of natural disasters.

At the entrance to the rift, there is a perfectly defended monster killing zone called the Kill Zone.

Mainly in charge of firepower is the long-range artillery that has already set the zero point, and a moderate eruption can be dealt with only by the artillery unit.

Indeed, for a long time artillery was considered a panacea.

That is, until they put up a giant shield called a super-large species.

Eventually, the air force was dispatched and the tank burst into flames.

When tanks alone cannot respond, the infantry prays to their respective gods and stares at the line of fire, and our hunters withdraw their equipment and go into standby.

Since the system was built in North America over a decade ago, it has become the surest means of combating cracks.

The Paju Perimeter was probably one of the strongest defenses in the world.

It was not difficult to close the crack with the highest intensity comparable to the crack in Beijing.

Occasionally, a super-large species has leaked, but that is irresistible.

If you leave the large and medium sized species that are infested like ants under it to concentrate firepower on one super large species, the entire front will collapse.

Now, the hunters who were active beyond the rift and predicted the eruption of monsters retired or left for Jeju Island.

The military, which is supposed to protect the nation and its people in the face of cracks, is aiming only to usurp the government by thrusting a knife into its allies.

Now, the monster’s eruption will spread to Seoul and its surroundings without any hindrance.

Like lava, burning and melting everything it touches.

Gijayangban: In the middle of the 4th super large class.

Gijayangban: The directions are two due south, one east, and two southwest.

Gijayangban : expected path image file.jpg

An hour after the journalist Yangban’s post was posted, a monster alert went off on the shortwave radio.

“This is an emergency disaster broadcast. Currently, five super-sized monsters have appeared from the Paju side, and all but one are moving south. The detailed route is currently being tracked, but those living in the above area are requested to go to the nearest shelter as soon as they hear this announcement and follow the orders of the relevant department. Paju, Uijeongbu, Yangju, Goyang, Gimpo…”

I left the radio on and looked at the reporter’s route.

The trajectory of the two heading due south is unusual.

Passing through Seoul is a fait accompli, and the next problem will be.

Will I pass through Seoul, which has become uninhabited, and hit Incheon, or will I turn a curve like before and reflect my face in my area. Perhaps it will perish before then.

It’s up to the monster to decide where the monster will go, but one thing is certain.

The Paju area is now the domain of monsters.

No, the whole north must be a monster garden.

Like the aerial photos of North Korea I saw someday, the entire area will be colored in a gloomy grayish white.

By the way, the journalist man.

Quite helpful.

Honestly, it’s more helpful than Daram Kim.

I don’t know if there is something behind the mask of that reporter man…

Could it be the real Woo Min-hee?

It’s unknown, but the possibility is quite high.

The fact that he did not appear immediately after the war, but appeared after the situation was sorted out to some extent, that he had been active in Seoul full of dangers, that he had used Failnet for a long time, which was difficult to use unless approaching a large city like Seoul, And after Um Changi’s performance, he was venting his anger on our bulletin board.

Of course, it may not be Woo Min-hee.

It means that it could be someone I don’t know who is in the same department or situation as Woo Min-hee.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that the public interest of a journalist is the opposite of Minhee Woo’s personality, which causes harm.

Beep- beep- beep-

The K-walkie-talkie suddenly made a special beep.

I checked the screen,

Personal Identification Number: REDMASK

This is Minhee Woo.

I heard that even a tiger will come when I say it.

I never thought I would get in touch with you just thinking about it.

What’s going on?

I honestly hate receiving it.

Accepting it will only make you feel worse.

Maybe I’m asking too much

But now you have to take it unconditionally.

If I don’t get in touch, isn’t there something that senior Minhee Woo cares about? You will be suspicious, and she (30 years old), who has a lot of imagination and is good at taking over, may soon be able to deduce the identity of the good-natured Eom Chang-i (31 years old)!

“Hum! hum!”

After lightly clearing his throat, he responded to the call.

“Oh~ Are you Minhee? What’s going on?!”

“Senior~.”

Her mood through the speaker of the K-walkie-talkie didn’t look too bad.

“Are you listening to the radio?”

“Uh, yes. I’m listening!”

“Because a Kraken type might go around the place you dropped off before.”

“Did you even deliberately contact me to tell me about that?”

“It is not natural. No matter what, we are our seniors. All of our brothers and sisters and jockeys are dying, but even seniors should be fine. If you die, there’s no one to come to your funeral, right?”

“Mi, it’s Minhee…”

I was a little thankful.

I had a lot of things with this guy, but he’s still my junior. Because we believed in each other and fought on the battlefield.

He was a strange guy, but he wasn’t a very bad guy before he discovered his psychic abilities.

Most of all, she gave me a warning that even Kim Da-ram hadn’t.

I feel like all the bad feelings I’ve had until now melt away like snow.

Woo Min-hee, maybe he’s a good guy?

“Do you know Umchang?”

“!!!”

Cancel the thought you just had.

“Why no answer?”

“Uh, Umchang?! what, what the hell is that Isn’t that an insult? Suddenly, such vulgar words come out of your elegant mouth…”

“Senior, don’t you use the Internet?”

“Internet? What is the Internet?”

“huh?”

“Oh, the Internet! You mean that on a computer? Ocean of information! Yahoo, Lycos!”

“You are talking like a caveman.”

“It’s been over two years since I haven’t been on the Internet, so stop.”

“aha. I see.”

A soft laugh came through the speaker.

“Well, senior, you’re the kind of person who doesn’t do that, right? I never tried to enter a group chat room. What can I say? I wanted to be very expensive.”

“…”

“Looking at the senior’s identification number, I thought of a strange guy, so I just asked him.”

“My identification number? Are you talking about the skeleton?”

“huh. I do weird beatboxing, what can I say? Feeling like an old person imitating a young person? It is safe to say that he is in his 50s, let alone in his 60s. ah.”

I hear someone calling through the speaker.

“I’ll hang up.”

Communication is broken.

It’s one-sided and rude, but rather, that rudeness was like salvation to me now.

“after······.”

I immediately ran to my laptop.

SKELTON : (Skelton video) Skeleton’s beatbox (3)

Video uploaded a year ago.

＜Are you sure you want to delete the selected post?＞

“······!!”

not delete

Deleting it only raises suspicion.

I replayed my video, suppressing the strong urge to delete it.

Fortunately, I seem to have been much more careful then than I am now.

The word is a video, but with only darker shadows flickering on the black screen, Skelton’s beatbox sounded.

“Drum and headbutt! Boom! Boom Boom! Push~ Chika Chika! Bachika! Calm!”

Listening to the dazzling beatbox in the video, I unknowingly moved my body and watched it to the end.

The conclusion is flawless.

There are not many clues to guess that it is Park Gyu from Skelton.

But I see something I couldn’t see.

There were comments that weren’t there before.

Could it be that my bulletin board friends, belatedly aware of my coolness, even searched my posts and commented on them?

I read the comments with excitement.

Kyle_Dos : You really can’t get dirty

mmm : Beggar~ Beggar~ I’m going to say a lonely story in an air-raid shelter~ I’m going to “The Hope” hahahahaha

keystone: I want to hit a snout.

SeamonkeyPAPA: *********

Anonymous848: wow

DragonC: (Dragon is shocked)

Why is the reaction like this?

Still, I can see the nicknames of memories.

From friends whose life and death ended to friends who will no longer be able to see each other forever.

I prepared the vehicle while feeling the calm memories.

It’s a waste to use gasoline, but I was fully prepared to move the four-wheeled vehicle and contacted the surroundings.

“Defender. grow.”

Since there is a communication machine with the Defender siblings, you can easily communicate with them.

“Skelton!”

Da-jeong was contacted.

She was always the one I contacted the most.

“What is your brother doing?”

“I’m taking a nap. He sleeps more than he looks.”

“Did you hear the radio?”

“huh. But will you come here? How far is it from Paju to here?”

“I came this far last year.”

“okay? Is that dangerous?”

“It is very dangerous.”

“how will we do it?”

“You’d better prepare your vehicle and when the monster appears, run away until it’s out of sight.”

“I have a kickboard.”

“Some kickboards.”

I’m not really worried about this one

Friends who are good at walking around.

As I was about to quit, Da-jung brought up a new topic.

“Ah, Skelton. Did you see the latest version of Mr. Dragon?”

“huh.”

“That, what do you think? I don’t think it was drawn by Mr. Dragon. Pilcrum, that bastard, no, he resembled his figure. no way?!”

“well. maybe we can collaborate Both are writers.”

“Ugh. Did you really accept it? Mr. Dragon, pil crumb?”

“Let’s talk about that later.”

I haven’t told Defender what happened to Mr. Dragon yet.

But since I’m an internet friend, I’ll have to let you know sooner or later.

I’m still taking my chance.

“Skelton!”

A plan to bring together my neighbor’s sniper mother and daughter and the defender brother and sister.

“okay. Suu. Mom is?”

“I’m taking a nap.”

“Internet again?”

“My mom said she found some surprising news on the Internet.”

“what?”

“He said he would see and tell me.”

“Isn’t that strange news?”

“I don’t know. Juicy – Do you have any?”

“It’s not a problem with Juicy, you listened to the radio, right?”

“huh. By the way, will you come all the way here?”

“well. Should I prepare?”

I was fully prepared and set my senses on the radio.

The radio caster often informed us of the location of the super-large bell through tiny radio waves in an insipid voice.

“Super-large bell unit 3, passing through Seoul and moving south. It is currently passing through the vicinity of Suwon and will disappear after passing through Suwon.”

I climbed the hill that covered my shelter and looked north with my telescope.

To the north there was nothing to be found but darkness except for the desolate land and a few pioneer lights.

Instead, the sky is full of stars.

Under an infinite number of stars, I waited for a guest to arrive.

I could see a glowing halo spreading out in the distance.

said the radio.

“The super-large model Unit 3 is extinct. Confirm Extinction. Next, we will inform you of Unit 4 information.”

Unlike before, monsters couldn’t come to my territory.

It seems that the face-to-face ceremony between the sniper mother and daughter and the defender brother and sister should be postponed a little longer.

Standing on the hill for a while, I blankly watched the gigantic species disappear.

I always feel it, but the death of monsters, especially the extinction of super-large species, has the power to catch people’s attention.

The transmitter suddenly rang.

“Skelton. are you watching I can see very pretty lights in the north!”

It is affectionate.

She was watching the same scene as me.

“Is that the death of a monster?”

“huh.”

“······It looks like a butterfly made of light. countless.”

She seemed fascinated by the disappearance of a supermassive species she had never seen before.

Well, everyone who sees the disappearance of monsters for the first time often speaks of the same beauty.

Actually, the death of a monster is so beautiful.

non-woven-

The walkie-talkie rang.

“Skelton!”

This time it’s suwoo.

“Are you watching? The monster is dying!”

“Hey Skelton.”

No, Rebecca is also together.

“Our Hungry. Give Me Chocoletto.”

“…”

As I was silent, I heard the sound of Sue giving me a bruise.

“Mom, why do you keep saying weird things? So your father left the house?”

“······sorry. Sue though. and Skeleton. Isn’t it pretty when a monster dies?”

“huh.”

At that moment, the collapsing monster tilted sharply and covered the heavens and earth with particles of light, as if it were spitting out thousands of butterflies at once.

Is that why?

Silence came over the radio and radio.

I also see the infinite butterflies that Da-jung said.

“…”

I hope the death of us humans will be like that too.

Most of those who refused or were unable to leave Seoul that day died.
