Regress and Eat

< Necromancer (2) >

I made my way down the stairs in front of me. Eyes meet the man coming up from the basement.

“What the heck! ”

The throat flies and the blood spills like a fountain before the horse is finished.

Hunter circles the corner from the back, covered in the blood of the previous one. When I looked at me with my face covered in blood, I was already blowing myself into the air.

Shhh!

Flashes in front of your eyes.

He also stopped screaming. You did not bury a drop of blood on the retrieved knife.

Hunters who were about to leave the ground surprised by the sound of alertness had no choice but to come face to face with me in the process.

If I was worried about the subject's escape, I had to pass through the hallway to get to the ground.

In case any of the kidnapped suddenly appear, I put a knife directly into the body of a hunter instead of spreading my sword extensively.

“Aah!”

“Stop it! Stop it! ”

Short but sharp flashes constantly paint the air. The body falls along my path and the blood spills.

While I was choking one by one, I was scanning the vast underground with a fluoroscope.

‘If ground artifacts have been focused on preventing external invasion, the main purpose here is to prevent test subject escape. No matter how Awakened they were, they couldn't have fled on their own. ’

At that time, I found something and hardened my face.

Moves faster.

You kill the conspicuous Hunter as soon as he comes upon you, and you shoot him in front of you, destroying the steering wheel.

And the place we got there was the room in the corner.

The view from the other side of the fluoroscope was clearly different from where the other subjects were confined.

Boom!

Break the most sophisticated and powerful barrier you have ever seen. You need an artifact that acts as a key to open and close, but blowing the whole lock was pointless.

I opened the door roughly. My heart was getting stronger and stronger.

The door was very thick. There's another door behind the door. The structure is close to sterility.

And the last crack in the door caused a nasty smell to pierce my nose.

Enter the room.

I checked it with a fluoroscope beforehand, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I was even more angry.

It seemed like something hot was coming up from my throat.

“· · · · · · · Did you live like this? That long time? ”

Why didn't you ever tell me?

Or is it the scar that brings back memories?

Grrr!

I gripped my teeth.

The interior structure of the room was no different from any other room, but the ceiling had plenty of ventilation. The facility that would take 1-2 minutes to completely replace the air in the room was shut down due to a power failure.

Below were dozens of beds placed with reasonable distances. In each bed, there are things that were once human.

You hear a light breath and a weak heartbeat. But the tasting that was full of rooms came from their bodies.

"Ugh · · ·. Woohoo · · ·."

Pale, cloudy eyes. Black spots all over the skin. Regardless of how old you look, you see wrinkles on your face, and the epidermis is separated from the fat layer.

The microbes in the body have already begun to eat the flesh. Naturally, bodily fluids should flow, swell, and rot like other bodies, but they are proceeding a few hundred times slower than normal pace. Some ‘force’ instead of the immune function of the body is suppressing it.

You whisper as if the blade is interesting.

This is a zombie transformation. It is also very highly rated by the operator. It's a good view. "

I was about to get nauseous from the pure pleasure buried in his telepathy.

At that moment.

Ugh!

Those who were lying like puppets suddenly turned upside down. Then he turned his head and looked at me.

The sight of thirty eyes pouring in at the same time without time was frightening.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

I walked straight to one bed.

There is no core in these other hearts, but only one is different.

Wherever I stopped walking, a boy with exposed bony joints was staring at me through his slightly crushed eyelids.

The height and height are only 14, or 15.

He looks like any other zombie, but has a clear Mana mark in his heart.

The Mage said.

‘This man is alive. Then why the camouflage? ’

You get closer.

I no longer cared about the smell of sticking my nose.

I make eye contact. I summon him.

What I put in my mouth was not his full name on paper, Nathan Drake.

“Nate.”

His eyes were slightly shaken.

“· · · · · · Yes, sir. (Dr.)”

Those he faced in this facility would be almost either doctors or researchers if not subjects.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

I didn't know what to say.

When I hesitated, I put words in my mouth from my heart.

“I'm sorry I'm so late. ”

Nate tilts his head.

“You're not a teacher? ”

“No. I'm here to kill them all and get you out of here. ”

“· · · · · · · · · Going out? ”

“I'm going out. You've been here too long. ”

Yeah, it's been too long.

We can't let them get out after four more years.

Did Angelica know about the future in an unknown way? This unfortunate situation.

You knew and you let it go until the government rescued you?

“It's okay. I was playing with my friends. ”

“Friends?”

He reaches out. A similarly rotten zombie appears to have come out of bed.

“He's my friend. I'm Chris. Say hi. ”

The zombie's mouth opens. The tongue melts and a quiet voice leaks out of my mouth to make sure it doesn't move.

“Greetings · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Chris?”

It was a familiar name.

I've seen him in the future.

At that time, all the organic tissue was decaying and all the bones were left.

“I came here around the same time as myself. He's my best friend. Other than Chris, everyone here is my favorite. This is Ali.”

The zombie who was lying next to Nate had a smaller head than Nate.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The child raised his hand and waved slowly at me.

Ali is a familiar name.

“I'm sorry, he can't talk anymore. Ali's a good friend. We fought a lot with each other in the past. She cried every day and told me that one day her mother would come for her. Every time I heard that, I was a little upset. I had a mother, but I didn't think she would come looking for me. It doesn't matter now. ”

I knew why Nate described it for so long.

He's anxious right now.

I noticed that I was different from other researchers.

An Awakening Instinct?

“This is Uncle Clark. If I was sick at night, he would take care of me and yell at my teachers. I used to hate you guys, but Clark's a good guy. ”

Clark is the name of the skeleton with a cracked shoulder.

An adult zombie, still on his body, squeaks to get out of bed. I couldn't watch anymore, so I reached out to Nate and stopped him.

“Enough!”

He's looking at me with anxious eyes.

How many years has it been?

I don't know exactly how old he was when he woke up. How old was he now, apparently?

Then to this day, with the people who made themselves zombies.

Trapped with people who like to rot slowly, smelling corpses · · and changing themselves.

I didn't have a clue what I was thinking every day.

“First of all, can you just go back to the way things were? Nate, you don't have to be like this. ”

“· · · · · · · Me, you noticed? ”

As soon as I said that, Nate's melted skin was somewhat pale but quickly returned to a living person. The crushed eyelids also regained their shape and their breath sounds and heartbeats went to normal.

Unlike the other zombies here, Nate was just imitating himself by changing his body like that.

This is one of many of his unique skills.

“Let's get out of here. Nate.”

Turning around, he was still the size of an unsuitable boy.

A lot of emotions fell into Nate's eyes and disappeared.

“· · · · · · However. ”

I felt like I was taking my word as an order, whether I had learned my obedience during my time here. I get up and look around as if something is bothering me.

I knew why.

Skeletons!

Skeletons in the future, but those corpses are still zombies.

I hardened my face.

It is now a few years before Angelica and Nate met.

Is it still possible? ’

A special Nate's unique skill among the last five.

[footsteps crossing boundary]

The name makes it hard to understand what the skill is.

What we observed and demonstrated several times by Nate was that it was a kind of mastery skill.

Boundary refers to the line between life and death, and new sub-skills are created based on Nate's skill level, not just defined. The unique skill of the five of us, given our potential for growth.

And Nate, until the last moment of his life, created a new sub-skill that was restless even during the time he was climbing the tower.

When was [Shadow Grave] possible during the ‘sub-skill'? ’

It was clear that it was before I met Choi Seung-hyun in my previous life.

I told Nate.

“Would you like to come over here? ”

Nate nods and follows.

Under his feet, a shadow casts a magical luminescent. I floated another light source to make it clearer.

“Shadow, see? ”

Oh, how am I supposed to explain this?

I can remember how Nate used to move the red Mana, but it's hard to explain in words.

That doesn't mean he can see my Mana.

I just had to say,

“Would you like to put all your friends in here and move them? Have you ever tried it? ”

Nate shakes his head.

“No, I've never done that. But · · ·. ”

I thought of something and suddenly my eyes lit up.

“· · · · · · How do I do this? ”

At that moment.

Yippee!

The wind blows in the room and the zombies on the bed disappear at once.

Then Nate's shadow on the floor slowly fades away, shaking heavily.

The shadow holds all the dead like a grave.

“· · · Oh, it works! Amazing.”

Nate laughed for the first time.

The corpse mutters as if it were ridiculous.

‘Unique skills I have never seen or heard of. · · · · · In this world, how many monsters are there like you or this boy? ’

I've been working with Nate to find the remaining hunters and researchers, and I haven't forgotten to choke them all out.

Most of the survivors were researchers, and they were busy moving data stored on the local server instead of running to the only exit. Despite the circumstances, Decker and Jefferson were aware of the end of the matter. So it was a shallow act to hand over the experimental data to another company at an expensive price or to relocate it at your own expense.

He is a powerless aphrodisiac and would have thought that intruders who handle 'precious data' would not have harmed him indiscriminately.

It was a bold and arrogant mistake.

‘Scumbags that aren't human. ’

The condition of the subjects outside Nate's room was even worse than I imagined.

They will be rescued today by the government's advanced operations.

Where are you?

You make swift strides to find one of the undetected.

A man who, in fact, is close to the general manager of this project, but has been convicted of handing responsibility to others in a previous trial.

A fearful and suicidal person who, when his former colleagues were questioned in turn after he was discharged, chose suicide.

Isaac Harrington.

His face was remembering clearly.

Boom!

The lab door was opened.

A middle-aged man who was in a frenzy downloading data looked at the door flying blue.

“Nu, who! ”

His gaze is towards me.

I noticed Nate's condition had changed and my face was horrified.

I shouted something like a recognition number or something.

“· · · No. 2-945? But how?! ”

I think.

‘He has no right to take his own life. ’

The moment I raise my sword.

“Wait!”

Nate shouts urgently, but in a clear voice.

I turn my head to hold the sword.

For the first time, there was a bright light in his eyes that had been unconditionally obedient to my words.

“Why?”

Nate hesitated and asked.

“· · · · · · Are you going to kill me? ”

“Yes, like you killed the others. ”

His face was blurred.

No way. Stockholm syndrome?

You want to defend the man who tortured you?

“These things are not worth living for. ”

Harrington frowns and says that he may have found a hole in his flesh.

“Oh, wait! Wait! You... you, Nathan! Your name was Nathan, right? Hahaha · · Hahaha · ·. I remember your name, because you're a special dog! And you've been here a long time! ”

He begs for his life with shiny eyes.

“Please, please, let me live. I gave you a special treat though, didn't I? Because I care about you and take care of you much longer than other children · · · · · · ”

Bullshit.

“Nate, don't mind him. ”

The moment I try to raise the sword again.

Whew!

The wind blew in the lab.

I felt that the density of the air had changed.

Flaming stench.

Harrington's face distorted when he saw the scene before him.

“Huh · · · How? ”

In the narrow room, the thirty objects that you just put in the shadow reappear.

You hear Nate's voice, like a string pulling tightly.

“You remember everything, right? ”
