Paris time: August 17, 1998.

Location: Charenton Street, Paris.

Charenton Street is located on the north bank of the Seine River, in the old town northeast of Paris. Most of the buildings here are low-rise apartments built in the early twentieth century.

Although every aspect of this street is old and dilapidated, the relatively cheap rent still attracts a large number of migrants to rent here.

This has also led to the fact that the law and order on this street is much worse than that of Paris, and the crime rate remains high.

05:42.

Many old-style vehicles are parked on the streets, making the already narrow streets more crowded, and the street lights on the sidewalks have not yet been extinguished.

In the alleyways and corners of the street, you can see many homeless people in ragged clothes or newspapers.

Most of them do not have legal visas, who are bankrupt or lose their jobs for various reasons, but would rather stay in Paris than return to their homeland of war and poverty.

At this time.

Three black vans appeared on this street.

The speed is not fast, the engine noise is not loud, and it did not attract the attention of the street bums.

Soon, three vans stopped in front of a four-story apartment building with house number 26.

Parking illegally.

But at this hour, most of the Paris police are still sleeping soundly at home, while the police on duty are drinking coffee and catching fish.

Unless it is an emergency homicide, no police will come to this street before ten o'clock.

"Huh~~~!" A sound.

The sliding door on the right side of the first van opened, and eight heavily armed men gushed out of the car.

They are dressed in uniform black combat uniforms, body armor, armed belts and mechanical skeletons. They also wear the USS iconic ‘octopus head’ masks.

The two groups of USS quickly moved apart, covering each other and approaching apartment No. 26, standing by the front door of the apartment one after another.

The first USS reported in a low voice: "Sir, Alpha has arrived at the designated location, requesting approval for the operation."

A few seconds passed.

"Yes, sir, I see." The USS nodded slightly, then ended the communication and ordered the subordinates:

"Group A enters with me, and Group B is responsible for support."

After that, the USS's group A entered the apartment first, followed by group B.

That USS is Hank, led by the ‘Reaper’ Alpha Squad, to control or reduce the first anomaly.

In the apartment, there are light brown carpets, white walls with a little paint off, and warm lights that are bright and dark...

In short, it is no different from a dilapidated apartment in a horror movie.

Hank kept a distance from the seven Alphas and cautiously entered the first floor lobby of this apartment. Group A was on guard in the left corridor, and Group B was on the contrary.

From the moment the Alpha entered the hall, they noticed the strangeness here.

There is no one in the security room on the left side of the hall, the doors of all the rooms on the first floor are open, and there are some weird low noises...

"Ch-cra-!" It was like the harsh sound of fingernails deliberately rubbing on the blackboard, or the cutting sound of a knife and fork on an empty plate.

The weird atmosphere made Hank and other Alphas become more cautious, and the hands holding the gun tightened again.

Observe for a moment.

Hank raised his left hand to signal to cancel the split operation, and changed to two groups to check the left corridor together, with group A in front and group B behind.

After giving the instructions, Hank and Group A walked quickly to the first apartment with an open door, and Group B followed behind the cover.

Standing on the far right side of the door, Hank first signaled everyone to stand by, and he took out a small lens from his left pocket to observe the interior of the apartment.

Through the mirror, Hank found a family of three in the apartment sitting at the dining table by the window ‘dining’.

Middle Eastern people, and the clothes of the three are old. The couple's age is about 30 years old, and the girl is about 10 years old.

but…

The couple had pale skin, dull expressions, holding a knife and fork in both hands, and mechanically cutting on the empty plate.

The harsh sound came from here.

As for the little girl, she was curled up in the chair, looking at her parents in horror, and there were two tears on her cheeks, her eyes were red and she shook sleepy, but she didn't dare to sleep.

Seeing this, Hank's brows under the mask frowned slightly, and even the ‘Reaper’ who was not surprised at all was a little bit guilty.

Adjust the angle of the mirror, there is no threat within the line of sight.

Immediately, Hank put away the mirror and gestured to the first apartment from Group A after three seconds to eliminate possible threats and control the family of three.

Since it would be exposed once the action was taken, Hank did not give the instruction to keep silent, and then raised his left hand to count down...

three,

two,

one!

Counting down to ‘one’, Hank re-held the gun in his left hand, and then rushed into the apartment with Team A.

Group B also came to the front door. When Group A is cleared in the room, Group B needs to be alert to all movements in the corridor.

"Tap!" In an instant, the heavy footsteps of army boots resounded throughout the corridor, after all, there was no carpet in the room.

"Safety!"

"Safety!"

Inside the room, two Alphas reported loudly because of their ‘octopus’ masks.

"Ah!" and the little girl's scream.

At the moment of rushing into the room, Hank and an Alpha pointed their guns at the family of three, while the other two inspected the bedroom and bathroom.

A small room with one bedroom and one living room.

In just a few seconds, Group A confirmed that there was no one else in the room.

"Raise your hands! Hear you?! Raise your hands and lie on the ground!" Alpha, who was standing on Hank's left side, shouted at the family of three.

Hear the words.

The terrified little girl, seeing the uncles rushing into the house, behaved like a police officer on TV, but behaved well, very obediently raising her hands to leave the seat, and then lying on the floor next to the dining table.

However, the girl's parents were still doing unexplained cutting movements.

"lift…"

"Okay." Seeing that the couple didn't cooperate, the Alpha was about to continue screaming, but was interrupted softly by Hank.

Because the couple finally stopped the cutting action, and at the same time turned their heads to look at the Alpha.

!

This move caused the Alpha to shake involuntarily.

But it's just a little hairy, not afraid.

"Roar!" (x2)

Sudden!

The couple let out a low roar, stretched out their hands and left the seat violently, and rushed towards the Alpha.

"Flap! Pop! Pop!"

"Plop! Plop!"

With the crisp shooting sound, the couple, who had been ‘mad’ for unknown reasons, were taken away by Alpha with several shots, and their bodies fell heavily to the ground.

"Papa! Mama!"

The little girl who saw her parents died for the second time, ignoring Alpha's previous order, crawled from the floor to the two corpses and wept bitterly.
