Anne felt her dizziness mounting, but she had to get up and help Sisca. Sisca was in that puff of smoke, helpless. While the monster nearby was ready to pounce on her."Damn it...my body won't wake up!" Anne said to herself even though she couldn't hear. Her body was trembling as it grew weaker. She coughed up blood several times.The monster heard Sisca coughing in the smoke which made her eyes water. Because of that sound, he raised his hand and intended to smash his claws towards the source of the sound.When Anne saw that, she screamed at the top of her lungs. "DON'T! SISCA GO AWAY FROM THERE!" however, the shout could not be heard by Sisca or herself. Only the buzzing sound could be heard by her.At that moment, something surprising happened. Suddenly, the window shattered as someone landed on it. The push of air that entered the room made the smoke immediately move away from the center of the room. Showing the monster and Sisca who were both unable to see what was happening. T
Diana was busily directing the children to get into the school bus parked below. Once everyone was in, she was at a loss as to what to do. Luckily, other HORNET agents started to arrive. There were three of them in total."I'm Gillian, this is Dustin, and this is Merry. We got a call from NEST that someone was injured at Maria's church," said the man who was the leader of the relief team.Diana was relieved that help was coming even though he hadn't called her. "Right! Anne and Sisca are still on the third floor! They are unconscious and Vincent, one of my colleagues is nowhere to be found!""Alright, report received. Merry and Dustin, take care of the kids! Diana and I will go upstairs and bring the survivors to this bus. If we're not back in 15 minutes, you leave us alone!" said Gillian."Ready!" Dustin and Merry shouted in unison.Gillian readied her sword weapon. Then, led by Diana, they walked through the building to the third floor. They found Anne and Sisca lying in the staff r
"Damn it! I never thought a creature with the nickname Ghost in the Shell could be that terrible!" grumbled Father Moloch, the leader of Maria's church who managed to escape from James. He escaped in a car along with a man who was also a monster that had been empowered by Michael Hubble. They drove the car to the House of Record, Sasha's main base. They hoped to find refuge there even though they were not Sasha's subordinate monsters, but they were subordinates of Michael Hubble. In a way, monsters can only obey their territory leader. The leaders of other territories would not be able to govern the lower-level monsters belonging to other territories either physically or in terms of rules.In terms of troops, Michael Hubble has the advantage because he can engineer the bodies of his troops at will even with certain restrictions, so the city of Centerfield is very difficult for HORNET to touch. However, the Landfield region has the advantage in terms of information. Although the monste
Anne opened her eyes abruptly. The first thing she saw was the white ceiling and the glaring lights. Anne sensed the nose-numbing smell of drugs in the room. She realized she was in a familiar place. She quickly got up and sat on the bed. She looked to her right and left, and saw Sisca fast asleep in the next bed. There was no one in the room except the two of them.A moment later Lisa came running up to Anne. "Anne, how are you?" she asked.Anne held her forehead. Her memory was vague, what she remembered was the incident in the church and she was helped by a black figure who turned out to be James. However, she was confused whether the incident was real or imaginary, because she was still confused whether James was dead or not. Trying to remember things that didn't make sense made her head dizzy."Water...I need water," Anne pleaded softly. Lisa quickly grabbed a glass of water from the small table beside Anne's bed and handed it to the blonde woman. "Drink slowly, you've only just
"But I saw him. It was James!" Anne still denied it.Diana shook her head. "No, Anne. Gillian and I met the creature face to face. He was a big man with very tough skin! He also had enormous strength, even more than the monsters themselves. I am certain that he was not human.""But he said he knew me..." Anne fell silent again. She still hoped that what she saw that night was James Winter."What is clear is that we are not in a safe condition yet. Two monsters have escaped. There's a possibility that they know our identities. I'm at a loss to think of a way to defeat the red scaly monster. Father Moloch once killed one of the HORNET agents. He's not an easy opponent," Diana said, changing the subject.Anne recalled the power of the red scaly monster. Their blows were so hard that even Anne's metal body still felt pain when hit by the creatures. Penetrating the scales was possible for Anne, but the strength of the monsters was the problem. If they were hit once, the bones of humans wo
Michael and Sasha's faces lit up with excitement. Michael laughed out loud, pleased with Karen's results. He took a few steps back and sat on the sofa, while Sasha gracefully sat beside him. If the humans from Landfield were from HORNET, then it wasn't all for naught. They didn't get Sisca and her team, but they did get their other quarry.Michael rested his face on his fist. With a happy smile, he pointed at the twitching pouch. "Open that bag! I want to see what kind of person he is!" he pleaded."With pleasure, Mr. Michael." Karen grabbed the bag and ripped it open roughly. Inside was Zen bound in his white robe and his mouth gagged with cloth ties.Michael and Sasha burst out laughing at the sight of Zen cowering helplessly in the bonds. "Good job, Karen! You did a good job despite your restrictions!" praised Michael.Karen replied with a nod and a proud smile. Karen was proud of herself for doing such a good job even though her body now had to sleep eight hours like a normal huma
A buzzing started in Sasha's ears. It was getting louder and more annoying. Sasha's face was contorted by the ear-piercing sound. She finally opened his eyes and slapped Zen so hard that some of his teeth fell out. "Asshole! He's a human with superpowers!" Sasha yelled in annoyance.Sasha stood up and turned around. She walked over and sat back down next to Michael. Her face looked upset and red. Michael was astonished to see Sasha change so quickly. "Why are you bending your face? Wasn't it getting interesting?" Michael asked."You rarely meet them so you don’t know. But this man is one of the awakened ones! He has superpowers! My powers can't be used on a human like this," Sasha replied.Michael narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded slowly. "Aah... now I understand why you had so much trouble dealing with these weak humans. You can't get information from them and they always move secretly. Moreover, some of them have superpowers. Then, your intelligence alone is not enough to fight
Sasha, the beautiful woman in the suit, didn't look nervous at all, unlike the other monsters in the room. She didn't seem to care what happened to Michael. She casually rested her face in the palm of her hand, sitting gracefully as she watched her partner in fear. "So cute..." she said with a smile, her eyes slightly squinting and her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Just like someone looking at a cute pet.However, it was the opposite for Michael Hubble who was experiencing the power of the humans in Landfield for the first time. Michael didn't think that a creature as weak as Zen could scare him and put him in a corner like this. His pride as the strongest race of beings felt trampled upon. His eyes glanced at Karen several times expecting his men to help him, but the woman was immobilized and could only stare deeply while grinding her teeth. Karen's attitude irritated Michael.Zen and Michael were already near the door, he opened it while continuing to keep an eye on the monsters in t
