Awakener from the stream

「Monster Integration Research/Chief.

: The first encounter between humans and monsters was in 1610, around the beginning of modern times.

According to documents released by the Russian Federal Archives and Records Administration, six-legged monsters appeared in Sortavala, a city near Lake Ladoga, right after a number of meteorites fell in Eastern Europe, especially in the border area between Russia and Finland.

Although the first invasion ended after six months due to the initial failure of the monsters to adapt, it was the prelude to a great revolution that changed the course of human history in the future.

Actually, after that, about 120 years.

Rumors about ‘demons descending from the sky’ spread widely regardless of a certain class because the monsters continuously attempted to attack through meteorites falling.

In the 1730s, a full-fledged conflict began with the emergence of ‘mid- to long-term survival objects’ that were resistant to bacterial infection through the absorption of indigenous life forms.

Worse still.

Some individuals have established breeding bases simultaneously in Egypt in North Africa, Bangladesh in East Asia, and Central Siberia. By the end of 1770, it succeeded in stabilizing the breeding grounds and multiplying them on a large scale, which became the beginning of a full-scale offensive, or wave.

Above all, this is an opportunity for two types of attack methods that have not changed much even today.

If the ground waves attack in groups of low ranks, the meteor-falling type consists of single and small numbers of distinctly higher ranks.

As a result, mankind also inevitably had to form two types of defense units.

It is the appearance of a military organization focused on firepower to defend against ground waves and a person with special abilities who will take care of a high-level monster when a meteorite falls.”

Metropolitan Area 1 Ring Expressway.

The 8-lane highway suffers from extreme congestion during rush hour.

In the midst of this, three black sedans step on the accelerator pedal without hesitation while receiving concessions from nearby vehicles.

wii-

The reason is, on top of the vehicle.

This is because the black-and-white siren, which symbolizes that the vehicle belongs to the superpower management agency, emitted a low noise and delivered a warning.

Did a monster appear near the metropolitan area or was it to respond to the terror of a villain?

Across the car window, drivers’ curious eyes are pouring in, but the two agents sitting side by side in the seats are busy trying to figure out what’s going on through the radio.

“Do you have any further information?”

[The Awoken detection system seems to be working properly. The police immediately arrived on the scene and took preemptive action. However, they said they were not entering. Since it is an urban area of Guseong-nam, the houses and alleys are intricately intertwined, so if you touch it wrongly, it seems that trouble will grow. Because of the steep slope… … . They must be reluctant to take preemptive action without air support.]

“All right. When are the commandos arriving?”

[The next 10 minutes. Twenty-three drones and one helicopter were mobilized.]

“… It’s like going to war against the 9th grade Awoken.”

[I guess so. You know they react sensitively to the Awakened.]

It’s not that it’s not, because there were not one or two agents who died in the suppression operation.

Senior agent in the driver’s seat – Kim In-gi finishes the radio with a message asking for additional information to be delivered after a moment of silence.

Subsequently, the newcomer sitting in the passenger seat cautiously opens his mouth, thinking that this is the time.

1 year and 6 months after being assigned to the job.

Even though I had participated in the monster eradication support and non-registered psychic suppression operations, it was the first time I was put on a mission targeting awakened people.

“Is it very dangerous? At the beginning of the awakening, I know that there is nothing special about the ability, but the police are busy saving themselves.”

“Even if it’s 9th grade, it’s no different from a living weapon to ordinary people. So it’s not a decision I can’t understand. Until it is confirmed, they think my life is precious.”

“Are you sure?”

The silence in the car at the question I asked was momentary.

The senior agent gives an answer reluctantly.

“I’m sure you won’t kill anyone.”

“… … .”

Accordingly, the rookie recognized the meaning contained in the word at once, as if not everyone entered the psychic management bureau.

It’s not hurting, it’s ‘murder’.

As a result, as long as he did not kill anyone, it is a remark that represents the policy stance of each country – discovering, nurturing, and treating a very small number of people with psychic powers.

And along with that, the senior agent’s sigh that burst out all at once- it informed us that sometimes the system and reality are out of sync.

“Eat your heart out. I’m worried just that it exploded inside the third barrier, but it’s the old town of Seongnam. It is said that there are many cases where the cause of awakening is not good, but in a bad environment… … . You know, even if you don’t talk behind your back, right?”

“… Yes.”

After a while, the old town of Seongnam.

A narrow alleyway that can easily be blocked by three or four people is placed on a hill and spoils the scenery of the neighborhood, and cars parked on the side of the slope make it more difficult to pass.

On the other hand, from the semi-basement to the 5th floor above the ground.

Villas built with red bricks cannot hide their age due to the entanglement of various pipes and wires extending from the outside of the building.

No matter how poor the environment is, it is a place where people live, and local residents are about to show interest in the appearance of about 10 public service vehicles.

“Police Park, let’s step back a bit from the barrier.”

“More than now?”

“uh. The above things are fucking. It seems that the management vehicle is not able to go up because of the residents.”

“ah… If it’s this wide, it’s going to be dangerous.”

“So. Everyone has no idea. The space is so small, what kind of strategy is it? No matter how many times I tell you to open the road right away-”

Of course, it is quite difficult from the point of view of controlling the scene, so the moment the police who came out to support from the district were trying to break through the crowd.

Just in time, three black cars kick up the slope with menacing momentum.

Will it adversely affect the operation?

The siren did not sound, but the old-fashioned appearance of the sedan naturally left people disturbing.

Knock-!

Soon after, the wheels of the vehicle stopped at the bottom of the hill, about 30 meters behind, and six agents hurriedly opened the driver’s door.

The first words of the person in charge of the Superpower Management Agency were simple and clear.

“Anything special?”

“Uh, no. As a rule, the barrier line was formed in a circular shape, but the range was maintained at 250 meters, and access control of internal personnel was completed. Right now SWAT has deployed snipers and drones to search for it.”

“How did you control it?”

“It was announced over the loudspeaker.”

“… I’ve been talking about it in the neighborhood, but there’s nothing special about it.”

“to… … .”

The field manager, who was trying to protest at the tone that seemed to be a criticism at first glance, continued to answer a series of questions.

Listening to the back story, rather than reprimanding, it seemed to be purely intended to understand the situation.

“Were there any screams or noises, no escape attempts or anyone who seemed to be a direct victim?”

“As far as I know, yes. It’s because the surroundings look distracted, but the scene is perfectly controlled.”

“… … .”

However, after talking about it, there is a strange corner even for the site manager.

Isn’t it common for accidents to happen when an Awakener appears?

If it’s this quiet, that means-

“Divide into groups of two, and replace one of them with live ammunition. Be prepared for any contingencies. Please refrain from firing preemptively.”

Fortunately, however, the appearance of the awakening site was far from the senior agent’s concerns.

After a while, in front of Room B04.

Through the search of thermal imaging cameras and drones, it is not difficult to identify the place where the awakening occurred.

bang-!

After the leading SWAT officer let out an alarm to signal entry, he confirmed there was no reply from the other side of the door and struck the doorknob with a sledgehammer.

At that moment, Kim In-gi, a third-class agent from the Psychic Management Bureau, lined up in the hallway, jumps inside as soon as the door lock bursts.

Originally, the special riot police were the ones who fired live ammunition whenever there was an excuse, so they had no choice but to take risks in order to make the right decision at the right time.

And.

“Puzzle down.”

“… … .”

“Because I’m coming down.”

While the Special Forces members are still maintaining combat readiness despite the request of the management agency agent, the rookie agent’s chin jumps open as he peers into the room from the rear.

Liquor bottles and spring notes, shabby clothes and underwear, leftover tuna cans and ramen bags, dust and cigarette ash in the corner of the room.

All kinds of objects were swimming in the air above the narrow corner of the room.

But anyway, while the agent looks at the middle-aged man who has collapsed on the floor, the small child, who at best looks like a middle school student, grabs bills and coins with his hands.

At this point, thinking that he had everything to pack, the boy exhaled a short snort with a satisfied expression.

“hi?”

“… … .”

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”

On the other hand, from the observer’s point of view, living in a single room in a semi-basement is not enough, so it’s quite unfortunate that he cherishes a few pennies.

Agent Kim In-gi continues his conversation in a very soft tone, as if he had completely forgotten the dangers of early awakening.

To be precise, I was going to continue.

“I didn’t kill you.”

“… Yes, that’s right. Then, can you take a look at it? Others won’t go in. how?”

He perfectly understands the sudden speech, confirms that the boy is nodding his head, and slowly steps into the room.

Tick, drop, drop.

Soon, the finger that touched the carotid artery informs the man who collapsed on the floor is alive through the pulse.

“Really. Good job, good job.”

“… … .”

Instinctively, the Bureau agent nodded his head and his facial expression was clearly disturbed, right from that moment on.

The Awoken Suppression Operation changed its direction 180 degrees and transformed into a rescue and support operation.

The special riot police level was lowered and the muzzle went down to the floor, and paramedics from 119 quickly moved the boy’s father to the hospital.

Of course, despite the series of measures, the awakening party did not show any significant change in expression.

At that moment, three or four agents kicked into the narrow corner of the room and asked if there was anything they needed, saying ‘Aren’t you hungry?

Rather, it only made the former villain recall bad memories.

“Oh, he didn’t even ask for his name. What’s your name?”

“… … .”

“Did I ask you for being too sensitive? Can you speak slowly.”

“… Lee Yong-soo.”

In fact, let’s say they were people who handed out favors with friendly faces, after all, back in the day.

They were the ones who stuffed a rubber bullet into his abdomen and a live ammunition into his shoulder, and then filled him with restraints for psychics.
