“The drug factory is this way… .”

Rooftop of a building in a slum.

There, Yeji pointed out an abandoned factory to the three hunters.

A dark space with not a single light on.

The wall was full of cracks, so much so that it looked like it might collapse at any moment.

“We can’t find it because it’s in a place like this.”

A woman with long black hair and red eyes.

The enemy muttered cynically, avoiding the task.

Yejin glances up at her like that.

Although she is close to 170 cm tall, her feminine body stands out.

I couldn’t take my eyes off of a woman who looked so good in a suit, as if it was the first time I had seen her.

“Get the information out as fast as possible. If they find out where they are, they’ll run away right away. ”

Clumsy Korean.

The most striking woman of the three also intervened.

White hair and white eyes.

And a chic jacket and pants to go with the balanced body.

Yejin couldn’t easily take her eyes off Anna when she saw her.

The white-haired hunter took out a small dagger from his inner pocket.

And then he stared at the two suspicious hunters guarding the abandoned factory.

No way… Are you trying to fight those big guys with just a dagger?

Yejin swallowed deeply, worried that the operation might fail.

Even though I was being used, it is true that I participated in the operation…

I was afraid that I might be retaliated against by the factory hunters.

Someone taps her shoulder as she looks so anxious.

As she turned her head following the sensation, a gentle voice soothed her.

“Don’t worry too much, Yeji. I’ll do my best to make sure no one gets hurt.”

I don’t know how he noticed my worries.

But when I saw the golden eyes of the owner of the voice.

Without realizing it, I felt a sense of peace in my heart.

Because Jisoo’s eyes and face were so beautiful.

“Yes… .”

Yejin nodded obediently.

As if in a trance, the tension is released by the repeated eye-candy.

And when I turned my head again.

She couldn’t help but be surprised.

Because the white-haired hunter who was holding a dagger next to him a moment ago disappeared.

“No… Where did you go…?”

As Yeji muttered, the enemy pointed to the entrance of the abandoned factory he had seen a moment ago with the tip of his chin.

Anna is not coming.

She landed in the dark shadows of an abandoned factory.

Meanwhile, Jisoo picked up a stone she had prepared in advance and threw it near the men.

The rock landed exactly behind the telephone pole near them.

“What are you talking about?”

The man carrying the rifle raised the gun strap.

He motioned to his sergeant to check where the sound came from.

“Go and check it out.”

Then his subordinate nodded and went off to check behind the telephone pole.

And then, at that moment.

Anna, who had been hiding in the shadows, ran towards the shooter with the speed of an animal.

It was so fast and light that the man noticed it and was about to raise his head.

Anna’s dagger was already thrust into his neck.

A decisive and swift strike.

All of this happened in the span of two seconds while I was checking the telephone pole.

“There’s nothing?”

The bastard’s assistant turned his head.

Soon his eyes widen at the terrifying sight he encounters.

Because a white-haired woman with blood on her face was holding the shooter by the scruff of his neck.

It’s like watching a white leopard biting its prey.

The beautiful horror took his breath away.

The moment I opened my mouth to shout somehow.

“Intrusion…, intrusion!”

His cries soon become a will.

Because the dagger that stabbed the shooter was embedded in his forehead.

Finally, the two hunters guarding the factory fell.

Anna dragged the two cold corpses into the dark without saying a word.

Like a beast entering a cave with its prey.

Yejin, who saw the sight with her own two eyes, trembled with fear.

“Let’s go, you said you were going inside?”

The enemy looks down at Yeji with an indifferent tone.

Yejin swallowed deeply at the intense red gaze.

“Yes… I know because I went there once before.”

Anna opened the old iron door.

The four women walked leisurely inside.

A long darkness.

Only dim lights barely illuminated the factory passageways.

I went through the passage and opened the door.

yet….

The four women were all surprised.

Because the space, which looked like an abandoned factory on the outside, was filled with new machines.

A white plastic case rolls along a conveyor belt.

Each of those cases had a robotic arm attached to it, putting a white pill in it.

And the ladies sitting in the corner of the factory.

They were manually adding some unknown powder to each white pill.

“What a sight.”

The enemy snorted in laughter.

And he spoke calmly to the ladies he encountered.

“Ladies, please stop working today.”

Middle-aged women were startled by the sudden appearance of the rankers.

Then Jisoo stepped in and reassured them.

“I’m from our association (Ilsim). I’ll only meet the person in charge here, so go in with confidence.”

It was definitely more effective when Jisoo spoke than when he was cold.

The women nodded and quietly walked out of the factory.

“The person in charge is probably in the container on the second floor.”

Following Yeji’s words, the two rankers went up to the second floor.

Jisoo stayed on the first floor and checked to see if there were any other workers or Park Shin-ae’s hunters.

Fortunately, unlike at the factory entrance, there were no hunters visible inside.

There were a few people dozing off in their office chairs, but Anna’s touch easily solved this problem.

“That’s strange. Why are there so few troops?”

“It’s because it’s late at night. And… ”

The enemy answered Anna’s question firmly.

Soon she arrives and looks around the factory office, saying:

“It means that there are so many factories that there is a shortage of management personnel.”

The enemy was holding a document in his hand.

And the document contained the contact information for the popular Angel Tips factories scattered throughout the province.

The enemy calmly looked at the contacts.

Then suddenly I find a number that looks very suspicious.

07.

While all factories have clear names like 00 Factory or 00 Industry, this number is simply written as ’07’.

She soon speaks to someone through the earphones she is wearing.

“Black Death, trace this number.”

“Yes, Team Leader.”

Moderate harvest.

Thanks to turning the factory, I was able to find out the number of Park Shin-ae’s followers, who is still alive.

The enemy felt a bit uneasy, but he put the paper in his pocket.

And he asked Anna, who was checking the condition of the unconscious employees.

“Isn’t that weird?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Will Counters still use the same number even in this situation where a wanted notice has been issued?”

Anna shrugs her shoulders at the enemy’s question.

Blood was splattered all over her face.

“Well, there’s no rule that says you can’t use it.”

“It feels like they’re telling us this on purpose.”

The enemy stared blankly at the factory.

In the factory, there is only the repetitive sound of machines running.

but.

Soon, uneasy thoughts began to creep into the enemy’s head.

And at that moment.

A loud siren began to blare from speakers mounted on the factory ceiling.

「—.」

The sound was so loud that it hurt my ears.

Soon, the security window at the office entrance fell down.

“What the…!”

The enemy grabbed the fallen security window.

However, unlike the aging factory, the iron bars were modern.

Jisoo and Yeji on the first floor also felt the strangeness of the situation.

The two men stared up at the two rankers who were trapped in the office.

“Something went wrong.”

Jisoo’s voice, which had been calm until now, becomes serious.

Even Yeji was suddenly frightened by the change.

“What should I do…?”

“Please hide here for now. I will help you.”

Jisoo hid Yeji behind the machine for now.

And at the moment when I was about to rush to help the two rankers.

“—!”

The office where the two people were exploded.

A cloud of fire that started suddenly.

“Anna, Senior Red!”

A large number of bombs exploded, as if they had been trying to blow up this place a long time ago.

The force was so great that debris flew out of the cloud of flames and rained down below the index.

She barely managed to avoid the debris and pulled out the longsword she had been holding.

The Ilsim sword passed down from the vice president.

She held the sword and slowly looked around the dark factory.

After the explosion, all the machines in the factory stopped working.

Thanks to this, the factory became incredibly quiet.

However, Jisoo was not at ease.

I tried to listen as closely as possible to the sounds in the quiet factory.

And the moment I detected a very small sound.

“—.”

A powerful flame bursts forth in the darkness.

Bullets flying from that flame.

Jisoo instinctively blocked the bullet by twisting his sword.

From where the bullets came from, numerous hunters begin to run out in a line.

In their hands were several axes, spears, and long swords.

He even wore night vision goggles on his face.

Hunters who were clearly ordinary in the past.

But a strange breath symbolizing Angel Tips was flowing out of their mouths.

“Are they all bought?”

“Buy, we are the proud army of the new government.”

A man holding a pistol with steam rising from the muzzle.

He walked slowly, pushing up his sunglasses.

Because he is wearing a short-sleeved military uniform, the tattoo on his forearm is immediately visible.

The tattoo had the number ’12’ engraved on it.

“12… ?”

I tilt my head at the counter numbers I see for the first time in my life.

Because the original members of Counters were up to 09.

Then the man proudly shows off his arms.

“Oh, is that strange? This is an honorable tattoo that only those who are recognized as part of the family can receive.”

“Oh, I see… .”

Jisoo answered indifferently, as if she wasn’t interested in what the man was saying.

12’s face distorts at her stern attitude.

“What, you don’t know Counters? The most popular one in the Korean peninsula… .”

“I know right. It was a guild that got beaten up like a dog by Ilsim after rushing in without knowing their place, right?”

The first harsh words came out of Jisoo’s mouth.

The man’s eyes trembled at those words.

“What a cheeky woman.”

12 raised one hand.

And then they all pointed at the index as if giving an order.

“Mother told me to capture all the intruders alive… but I’m not good at capturing people alive, right?”

At his command, the hunters raised their weapons.

The sharp blades shine even more in the dark factory.

“Then I’ll kill you like your friends who went before!”

The hunters rush in all at once.

Their blades slashed at every part of the index.

Those wearing night vision goggles were able to completely capture Jisoo’s figure even in the dark.

but….

There was one thing that the honorable soldiers of the new government, including the 12, did not know.

“I don’t like fighting regular hunters… .”

They are far above us in rank.

It’s been a while since I found out that my senior, 08, died at the hands of Jisoo.

She has become more accustomed to fighting the darkness than anyone else.

And as if to prove it, on her longsword… .

A hot fire began to burn.

The hunters all flinched at the intense flames for a moment.

“But, if you’re in the same group as the girl who bullied Dohyun, I can’t forgive you.”

Jisoo didn’t miss that timing.

He swung the flame-filled longsword resolutely with both hands.

A tsunami of flames erupted along the trajectory of the swing.

The hunters who were hit by the tsunami all started screaming.

A flame that will not go out no matter what you do.

The flames savagely dug into the wound left by the sword.

Thanks to that, the factory was quiet for a while… .

It became an inferno filled with the screams of hunters.

A swordsman who freely handles fire and swords.

The inspector had already become a ranker, approaching the top 50.

She decided to wield that strengthened sword for only one person.

I was able to come this far with that one mind.
