Chapter 58: The Demon's Hand

【Existence】

origin

It's all in the beginning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Until the end, billions of years

Before 'infinity', any concept is meaningless.

The vastness of the endless ocean, or the dust that disappears with the wind.

Hundreds of millions of changing epochs, in the blink of an eye.

Ignorant and unaware lowly beings.

Spend your life in a box.

Everything that exists, everything that has existed, everything that will exist in the future......

Existence itself has no meaning

Infinity itself has no meaning

A.D. 2034

July――

'Ga~Ka~'

Ravens with black wings hovered over the streets.

"How many are you already?"

"I don't know...... But ......"

"It is rumored that there are probably hundreds of people ......"

"What the hell is going on with 'this'? ……”

"Can 'humans' really do such a thing? ……”

【Corpse】

Sinking into the ground, completely twisted corpse.

The limbs are twisted and curled, and the broken bones peek out of the flesh.

The body is supposed to lie on its back, but only the back of the head is exposed on the surface side.

The entire neck was twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, and facing the ground were dry purple-black blood stains.

A pungent fishy smell permeated the dry air.

After a long silence, someone in the onlookers finally broke the deadlock.

The man boldly stepped forward to observe, looked behind him with a pale face, and nodded slightly.

It's noisy --

[Panic]

Monsters roaming the city at night, taking human faces......

Hidden in the thickest night, maggots of tarsal bones follow closely behind.

Man is the most tempting prey for 'it',

Eating, or, as it is,

【Hunt】

Rumors are spreading, and no one knows what lies behind the fog.

Probably because the people who really see 'it' for what it really are no longer able to speak......

The initial events may have been simple homicides, but as time went on, more and more people were no longer able to recognize the subsequent series of anomalies as simple homicides.

Neither the scene nor the frequency of events seem to be what 'humans' can do.

Rumors spread like the wind, and in just a few days, they spread to almost every corner of the streets.

In the scorching summer, there is a strange cold smell in the air.

…………

"How?"

"It's not normal, it's more ...... abnormal"

"Nonsense ......"

"So what?"

"That's nonsense, you can't make a constructive comment......"

"That sentence just now is the only thing we have now, hasn't it poked at the core of the problem?"

"I feel like my IQ has been insulted like never before......"

"Oops, hey, Manager Luo of the 'Love in the Dream Forest' café still has such a thing as IQ, tsk~"

“…… In the previous sentence, if you have to report the name of my store, you must either ......"

"It's not just that, it's super ......"

Under the wide sunhat, little Lori, who was wearing a pitch-black gothic dress, pursed the corners of her mouth slightly.

"For you to do such a big publicity, you have to owe us at least one life for advertising money or something...... Anyway, it's unbelievable that this idiot with muscles in his head can choose such a girly shop name......"

"It doesn't matter if you say I'm ...... I won't have any more shame if I insult the name of my most important store......"

The ground emitted an overwhelmed scream, and the tower-like figure of Manager Luo cast a large shadow on the ground.

"Whatever you have, it must be your delusion......"

Gothic Lori smiled and stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked the lollipop in her hand.

"Are you the ones 'there'?"

After a moment of silence, Store Manager Luo glanced at several figures in the crowd lightly.

"Without the 'professionals', it would be difficult for us to solve this problem...... And ......"

"Omens...... ......"

Gothic Lori sneered faintly.

"It's an irreversible collapse, and it seems that anything can be related...... I'm afraid to do anything, and in the end, the ending won't change anything......"

"It's not like what you should say from where you're standing......"

"Tsk~~ We have always only said what we want to say, what are the rules set by those old immortals......"

"So you're going to do it yourself this time?"

"No, no, we have other things to do, and there is someone else in charge of this matter, and ......"

Gothic Lori raised her eyebrows slightly, looking into the shadows deep in the street.

"Even if that bunch can't be solved, that friend of ours is better at doing these things than anyone else......

"It must be normal to be friends with a guy with a bad personality like you......"

"Tsk~'normal'...... That guy really doesn't deserve to be called a ......."

Gothro pursed the corners of her mouth slightly.

…………

I don't know when it started,

The place that had just been surrounded by the black crowd had become extremely empty

Hundreds of onlookers left the alley, perhaps not realizing why they were leaving......

Only a few people remained in the open space.

"Is it the same as the previous ones......"

“…… At least I don't see any difference......"

"Although most of the traces have been erased, the most basic aura is still the same......"

"It's still useless after all......"

"It's been a month since the beginning...... Useful clues were not found at all......"

"So the people above asked 'that'......"

"'That'...... ......"

…………

The atmosphere in the arena seemed to become tense for a moment.

Everyone's eyes turned to the other side of the street.

'Da~'

'Da~'

Clear footsteps came, unhurried, silently echoing over the empty streets.

Everyone present was more or less nervous.

"The Devil's Hand" ......"

"Whether it's dragging the living to the bottom of hell or pulling the dead out of the abyss......"

"The life experience is also a blank...... Even the archives of the 'Database' do not contain any initial record of that person."

"Even the 'name' is ......"

…………

In the empty streets, step by step.

She lowered her eyebrows slightly, quietly watching the footsteps that kept coming.

There was some trembling in his legs......

Are you nervous...... Are you still scared......

Laughing softly, as if laughing at himself......

…………

"'That guy'......"

In the glass window of the corner café, Gothic Lori smiled lightly.

"He's a useless guy, but he's more reliable than anyone else......"

"Na...... Pigeon, we like you very much......"

…………

'Da~'

'Da~'

Footsteps kept ringing.

Gently close your eyes,

The two fingers of the right hand untied the knot on the wrist of the left hand, and the lips and teeth were slightly open.

"To the Weakness of Me......"

Strands of black hair fluttered in the air,

A silver light flashed between the white-gloved hands.

The cold-glowing scalpel was quietly held in the palm of his hand with a white glove.

The pupils that opened again reflected that breathtaking brilliance,

Smile softly, just like you did at the beginning......

…………

"So ......"

"Now let's unravel the 'real'......"
