“A little late.”

Lee Dae-eun looks at the two rankers and says.

06 chuckled at those words and shrugged his shoulders.

“The fortress security is so tight.”

“You won’t have to worry about it when you meet me, right?”

“Of course. I didn’t see a single ant on the way here.”

The bald man approached Dae-eun leisurely.

Now the two were close enough that they could touch each other in two steps.

Now, if each person just gives what they want, the deal is done.

It would be better if we both went our separate ways.

06 was the first to reach out.

“Cash, as always?”

“Yeah.”

Dae-eun readily tried to hand over the bag.

But he stopped dead in his tracks just before 06’s hand reached him.

“What, all of a sudden.”

“Make sure to receive them at the same time.”

“Oh my, how can a person called the captain be so fearful.”

06 snapped his finger at 08.

Then a black-haired boy approached him and handed him a case containing medicine.

“…”

Dae-eun opens the case she received.

And I checked two potion capsules with a soft glow.

“Why only 2?”

“The congressman is busy these days. He said he’ll give you a better version next time.”

Dae-eun looks at the man with serious eyes.

Even though he was ranked 5th, he could only be in the position of waiting.

Because my son is sick.

In order to somehow make Ji-hoo speak, he had no choice but to rely on the doctor’s medicine.

“Okay…”

“Uh. Are you a little angry just now?”

06 pointed his finger at the ranker as if looking down on him.

Then Dae-eun bit her lips and turned her head away.

“Don’t worry too much. You’ll be mute after taking the medication twice more.”

The man shouted as he watched Dae-eun walk away.

At that voice, the ranker stopped walking for a moment.

And then she asked him in a calm voice.

“That’s what I said. I think I’ve said it before.”

“Oh, is that so?”

06 snickered and made a joke.

Dae-eun, who was disgusted by the sight, quietly warned him.

“Be careful. The way down is more difficult.”

“You, of course. If you break a bottle on your way down, it’ll be a big problem, right?”

“Listen carefully.”

Dae-eun headed to the golf course where the lights were off, carrying the case.

The two rankers leisurely look at the sight.

“You’re acting like this. You’re some kind of backroom deal guy..”

08 glances up at 06.

The boy hurriedly looked after him, worried about the imposing man’s attitude.

“Let’s go quickly too. It’s dangerous if we get caught taking our time.”

“Dangerous? Haven’t you tried Mother’s medicine yet?”

The man looks down at the boy.

His eyes are brighter and sparklier than usual.

“About…?”

“Yeah, if you just take this medicine, any guy will be a piece of cake.”

06 raised his arms into the air.

His arms were more muscular than usual.

“Is the effect that good?”

“No need to say anything. I’d rather get caught by those guys and see how effective they are.”

06 said while getting into the car.

The boy in the passenger seat stared down at the bottle of medicine he had mentioned.

“—.”

Pitch black darkness.

A car carrying two people descends the mountainside, relying on its twin lights.

The car seats also shake to the rattling sound.

Thanks to that, the pill the boy was holding also jingled.

He whispers to the boy as if telling him to eat him.

08, who didn’t like hearing that sound, stuffed the medicine into his bag.

“Next time, we have to decide on a meeting place.”

06 mutters, feeling uncomfortable with the rattling car.

He nervously turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.

but…

06 soon became unable to concentrate on driving.

A silhouette of an animal seen from the front.

Because it was not yet illuminated by light, only a black shape was visible.

However, what is clear is that the guy is blocking the way.

“What is that, is it a goral?”

06 honked the horn as if he was annoyed.

But despite that sound, the black figure did not run away.

“This kid…”

06, annoyed, keeps honking his horn.

But he soon had to stop honking.

because.

This is because the object that appeared to be a deer was gradually approaching the twin lights.

The reality that was finally revealed was incredibly bizarre.

“Flesh…?”

The two rankers’ brows furrow.

06 completely lost the composure he had shown until then when he encountered the strangeness for the first time in his life.

He instinctively put the car into reverse.

The boy, who couldn’t see the deer properly because he was putting the pill in, asked the man.

“What? Why are you suddenly going backwards?”

“I think I’m stuck.”

“What?”

“Get ready to fight. This is no ordinary opponent.”

06 said in a serious voice and drove the car back faster.

Then, the deer that had been walking slowly also started to chase after him at a crazy speed.

As the boy stepped into the light, he realized why 06 had put the car in reverse.

A goral made by stitching together human flesh piece by piece.

Blood is oozing from the stitched area, as if it had been made just a moment ago.

Even the eyes look like human eyes, not like those of a deer.

A creature with drool dripping from its mouth leapt up to the glass window in a flash of madness.

And the moment it touches the vehicle.

It exploded with a loud noise.

The once quiet mountain is filled with noise.

A puff of acrid dust billowed, and the car carrying the two rankers disappeared into flames.

As the smoke clears, the crouching figure of 06 is revealed.

The man instantly wrapped his arms around 08, protecting him from the flames.

“Where are you?”

The bald man shouted into the darkness.

His skin was blackened by the ash.

However, despite being hit head-on by the blast, not a single scratch was left on his skin.

On the other hand, 08 was different.

Not being a physical person, he frowned and held his burned arm.

“Take your medicine quickly.”

“…”

Finally, the boy took out the bottle and put two pills on his palm.

“What a shame. I was going to blow up the whole car.”

A woman’s voice is heard in the darkness.

The two rankers simultaneously fix their gaze on the voice.

yet.

Three women appear.

A hunter killer who has killed dozens of rankers.

An executive of the Black Organization.

And even the Flame Inspector, who is burning with vengeance.

The three of them calmly approach the Counters’ rankers.

Their goal is simple.

One is to rescue a kidnapped woman.

And kill everyone involved in the kidnapping.

That’s it.

“08, listen carefully.”

The man speaks in an excited voice.

He looked at the women in front of him and raised the corners of his mouth as if he was feeling pleasure.

“I’ll take care of Anna. They’ll split up and fight each other, and then they’ll all return to the villa on their own.”

“…Okay.”

08 did not swallow the medicine.

Instead, I put it in my shirt pocket for a while.

“Then, let’s go!”

06 starts running towards the forest.

08 is heading downhill.

The two rankers simultaneously confuse their opponents.

Then Anna follows 06 first with skillful technique.

“What should we do?”

Jisoo asks absentmindedly as she watches Anna walking away.

Then the red-eyed woman spoke in a cold voice.

“I have to catch the rest.”

The enemy chases 08 and runs down the mountainside without hesitation.

Jisoo followed her leisurely, holding the vice president’s sword.

“—.”

06 cuts through the dense forest without hesitation.

So fast that I crashed into a tree.

But it doesn’t matter how much you hit a tree or something.

Because his body is as strong as steel.

Move while destroying everything that blocks your sight.

The path he took was scorched as if a storm had struck.

06 is amazed by the physical abilities he experiences for the first time in his life.

It’s natural for things to be slow when they’re solid, but it’s even faster now.

It feels hollow, like stainless steel.

But his admiration soon faded.

Even though it had gotten this fast, the distance between us was gradually getting shorter.

Even in the pitch black darkness, her silver hair gleams.

The man glanced back at the eerie flash of death.

If it were normal, fighting with Anna would be crazy.

But now, thanks to Mother’s medicine, all stats have increased by 20.

If necessary, you may be given additional medication.

The ranker, who had a corner of faith, arrived at an open space.

He stopped there and greeted the silver killer.

“Anna Danilova.”

The man welcomes her with an excited voice.

But Anna didn’t respond to his greeting.

He simply took out the longsword he had on his waist.

The longsword growls in the moonlight.

That black Anna is a piece of equipment that she only uses when she absolutely has to kill someone.

The blood of countless rankers has seeped into this blade.

“No need to rush.”

06 shook his head leisurely.

And then he calmly raises his fist and prepares to fight.

“I won’t run away.”

“…”

“I really wanted to be with you someday. You have the best physique in the world…”

06 scans her from head to toe.

Black tactical jacket and work pants.

Anna’s overalls are the ones she only wears when she’s definitely going to kill someone.

She took off her jacket.

Soon, smooth, white shoulders and protruding chest come into view.

But it’s not just about being feminine.

The developed abs and lean muscles for killing stand out.

Looking at those muscles, 06 raised the corners of his mouth.

Is that the best organism ever created in a facility?

Anna raises her sword as if ignoring the laughter.

And then I asked 06 indifferently.

“Where is the poem?”

“Why that girl?”

“Because you are the one I need.”

Anna said with empty eyes.

But 06 burst into laughter as if that was funny.

He laughed so hard that even his bulging muscles twitched.

“There’s someone precious to a killer!”

“If you tell me, I will spare your life.”

06’s eyes widen at the words that he will be saved.

“Did I hear wrong?”

He raised the corners of his mouth as if he were on drugs.

Anna looks at that unpleasant smile indifferently.

“You saved someone’s life. You must be really in a hurry, huh?”

The man begins to stretch his stiff neck to the sides.

Gradually his trapezius muscles swell up.

“There must have been something special about that kid to make you do this. But…”

06 raised his chin arrogantly.

And he provokes Anna with his eyes half-closed.

“He’s already worse than an animal. He’d rather die!”

06 shouldn’t have said that.

When he uttered the word ‘beast’, his solid side split like tofu.

“—!”

It was a fleeting moment.

It is clear that he has taken medicine to enhance his physical abilities.

But he couldn’t see Anna, who had passed by him.

Anna’s sword, which had landed behind him, was stained with red blood.

She swung the sword lightly, shaking off the blood.

As if wiping the blood of a dirty beast.

“You beasts, right?”

“And me too.”

06 looks down at the split side.

The irritating pain made him even more agitated, making him even more agitated.

“It’s definitely fun…”

The man’s biceps twitch.

His flesh moves to his torn flank as if he were alive.

Thanks to that, the fine wound healed in an instant.

“Haa…”

He shivered as if in ecstasy.

And then I slowly closed my eyes and lifted my head up towards the night sky.

06 slowly bent his knees.

And with a bizarrely jerky movement of his muscles, he reached Anna in an instant.

His arms rush equally to Anna’s sides.

She immediately blocks the punch with her longsword.

I thought my fist would split apart by the crazy sharp sword.

But his fist resonated with the blade.

As if two pieces of iron had collided.

The magnificent resonance spreads everywhere, causing the surrounding leaves to sway.

Thanks to this, the birds and insects that had been crying around all fell silent.

“What the…”

“Can I do it?”

06’s fist gradually pushes Anna’s sword forward.

Her once sturdy blade began to bend little by little like a stick of candy.

Then Anna’s eyebrows, which had been expressionless during all the fights until then, twitched.
