Nameless District 17 | The Red-Hooded Girl
"They're Marco's men, aren't they? What happened here?" Kay muttered.Malvinn just frowned, looking at the mangled bodies carelessly dumped in the alley."What's up with these brutal slashes? It's like they were hacked apart with a sword—"Kay's words trailed off as realization dawned about the bodies and the weapon."So that's why Inspector Robert suspects us? These are the same kind of victims the cops found in District 6."Elsewhere, in District 3, a girl in a red hood stood on a rooftop, laughing at Marco. She grumbled about her beloved cloak being damaged by Marco's gunfire."Marco, the gang leader of Districts 4 through 6. You're old, but your aim's as sharp as they say."Marco looked at her with disgust. He’d assumed she was an innocent kid, but it turned out she was a grown woman with a small frame—and a sadistic streak.Underneath her red hood, she hid sharp steel wires she used to mutilate his men."Thanks for the compliment, Red Kid!" Marco sneered. "Never thought anyone wo
Nameless District 18 | A Worthy Opponent
“What are you even talking about?” Marco yelled furiously. “Even though Daniel’s rank in the Scard army is low, he’s invaluable to me. He’s always managed to protect me.”Suddenly, Marco smirked.“Oh, I guess I forgot to mention something important.”The red-hooded girl froze in confusion.“Actually, I have another Scard soldier on my side!”Just as Marco finished speaking, Malvinn appeared behind the girl, swinging his sword in a powerful arc. He aimed for her back, but she managed to dodge in time, using her steel threads to block his strike. The tension in the threads grew unbearable, and they snapped. Her face turned pale.“Malvinn!” one of Marco’s men shouted, clearly elated by his arrival.“Rogue brothers, you’re so late!” Marco grumbled.The red-hooded girl clenched her jaw in frustration as she realized her precious threads were broken. Slowly, she pulled back her hood, revealing a tattoo on her neck that identified her rank and level in the Scard army.“This is the first time
Nameless District 19 | The Black Lily Guild
Despite his severe injuries and bleeding arms, Malvinn stood up again, gripping his sword tightly, searching for the red-hooded girl. Kay grew increasingly worried about Malvinn’s condition, but he couldn’t stop him.“I’m fine,” Malvinn said flatly. “She didn’t hit any nerves. It seems she really aimed to kill me.”“Don’t overdo it, Malvinn. Please. If you keep this up, you’ll die young. Are you planning to leave me alone in this broken country?” Kay lamented.Ignoring Kay’s words, Malvinn continued running through the alleys, tracking the red-hooded girl.Marco and his men approached Kay. “What’s going on?”“As usual. Malvinn can’t feel pain. You know we’re all failed products of the Scard project. Scard soldiers were deliberately made to lack pain receptors. Even when gravely injured, we wouldn’t notice until it’s too late.”Daniel Lim squinted, resonating with what Kay described.Daniel, Malvinn, Kay, and the numerous tattooed rogues living in the Nameless District were all former
Nameless District 20 | The Man with the Black Umbrella
Kay locked Malvinn's hands behind his back. Despite being pinned to the ground, the powerful Malvinn continued to struggle violently. Kay held him down with all his might.“Malvinn, stop it! That woman is here.”Malvinn cast a sharp glance at Kay, who maintained his hold. Straining every muscle in his body, Malvinn tried to break free from Kay’s grip.Kay, losing patience with Malvinn’s stubbornness, hissed threateningly, “Malvinn, that’s an order!”Finally, Malvinn loosened his tense muscles, letting his sword drop to the ground. Kay smirked at the blonde-haired woman representing the Black Lily Guild.“Apologies, he’s just a little too enthusiastic.”The sound of high heels clicking against the asphalt signaled another presence. The owner of those heels approached them.“Never attack civilians! How many times do I have to tell you that, Christine?”Christine, still restrained by one of the guild representatives, looked fearfully at the new arrival: Jules, the leader and founder of t
Nameless District 21 | Rain and Blood
Lindy, terrified, hid and curled up behind Kay's desk. She gripped her pistol with trembling hands. At that moment, the echo of footsteps on the stairs became audible. The sound grew closer and closer.Lindy panicked.“Who’s coming? Why are they here? Impossible!”She raised her pistol, her hands trembling even more violently. She aimed it at the front door.“Bye... take care on your way!”Dr. Emma stood at the entrance of her clinic, having just seen off her last patient. The rain poured down, drenching everything in sight. She shivered, disliking both the cold and the wet weather, and quickly closed the door after her patient left.Dr. Emma returned to her room on the second floor, changing her work attire for loose and comfortable home clothes.As she was tying her hair back, the front door suddenly burst open with a loud bang, though no one had knocked. Startled, Dr. Emma immediately checked from the second floor.Kay and Malvinn collapsed at the entrance to Dr. Emma’s clinic. The
Nameless District 22 | Overpowering Hallucinations
Kay ran through the streets under the pouring rain, occasionally taking shelter under shop awnings before resuming his journey to his apartment.Puddles were everywhere. He jumped around to avoid splashes. When he reached the stairs leading to his second-floor apartment, he noticed many wet footprints on the stairs and a black umbrella lying abandoned.Suddenly, Kay became extremely alert. He was worried something had happened to Lindy. Slowly, he ascended the stairs, one step at a time, until he stood before his apartment door, which was slightly ajar. Kay immediately pulled out his gun.At Dr. Emma's clinic, Malvinn quietly woke from his hospital bed. He saw Dr. Emma asleep at her desk, likely from exhaustion. His body covered in bandages and wearing only long trousers, Malvinn approached her.He took a blanket and draped it over her hunched shoulders. Carefully, he removed her glasses and placed them on the desk. He then grabbed his torn shirt and sword and left the clinic quietly.
Nameless District 23 | Former Mercenary of the Eastern Gate
Malvinn returned to Dr. Emma's clinic for a follow-up check on his wounds. Meanwhile, Lindy’s condition had improved. For now, Kay had taken time off from work to keep Lindy safe at the apartment.When Malvinn arrived at Dr. Emma's clinic, he saw Christine helping Emma hang freshly washed blankets and sheets on the roof of the apartment building where the clinic was located.Christine leaped down from the roof without any protective gear. She performed parkour, swinging from pipes attached along the apartment walls. Christine moved with incredible agility.Malvinn watched from the alley below, squinting slightly as he tried to estimate Christine’s actual age.When Christine landed on the street, she landed right in front of Malvinn, attempting to surprise him. However, Malvinn simply pushed her head aside, making it impossible for her punches and kicks to reach his towering height.“What are you doing, Christine?” Inspector Robert scolded.Malvinn and Christine immediately stopped, bo
Nameless District 24 | Red and Green
In a nightclub located in a district area, the district leaders gathered to discuss the recent series of mutilation cases. The leaders included Marco, Pablo, Frey, and Ramones.“This time, there are 12 victims. The autopsy is still in progress, and the results are yet to be known. However, it’s confirmed that all of them were former Scard soldiers,” Jules reported to the district leaders. Jules worked under Pablo’s jurisdiction.“It’s pretty clear, isn’t it?” Ramones remarked. “That means I don’t have to deal with you, Jules. The Scard soldiers are obviously your responsibility.”“Ramones!” Miss Frey shouted, visibly angry and speaking with fiery emotion. “We all know you’re the mastermind behind all of this!”“Miss,” one of Miss Frey’s assistants tried to calm her down.“Ramones, are you trying to disrupt the legal balance we’ve maintained for years in the Black District? What’s your goal in hiring Scard mercenaries just to fulfill your personal ambitions? This is outrageous! I won’t

Jules had just stopped the girl with the giant scythe. He shot her and saved the remaining members of the Black Lily Union. Most of them were injured, but still able to continue fighting.“District Six!” ordered Jules. “I’ve just received information that Ramones and the destroyer members have gone there to hunt someone, or more precisely, something.”“Hunting the courier who has the drug research data?”Jules nodded.On the basketball court, Theo and Daniel were already battered after fighting against Red and Green. Their bodies were covered with wounds, both from weapons inflicted by Green and Red. However, Daniel refused to give up. He wanted to atone for leaving his sister in suffering all these years.“You’re wrong if you think Daniel left and abandoned you!” shouted Theo. “For all these years, Daniel has been searching for you. We lost you during the fire at the orphanage. You were too young and probably don’t remember that someone kidnapped you.”Red wavered for a moment, but G

The girl with the giant sickle was unstoppable. More and more Scard soldiers from the Black Lily Union were falling. Jules, who was hiding in her room, couldn't stay still.“Jules!” the girl with the giant sickle shouted. “Come out and give me the research data! I know you've hidden it. If you don’t come out soon, you’ll end up alone in this slum.”Jules heard screams, cries of pain, the sounds of death, and slaughter. These sounds echoed throughout her domain.Her body trembled.She had planned to leave this issue to the Black Lily Union members. But it seemed like someone had to step in.“Do you still want to hide, Old Woman?” the girl with the giant sickle yelled. “I’ve already killed almost 90% of your men. Come out before you end up as a lonely old woman, buried alive with piles of corpses!”Jules got up from her bed, grabbed her sweater and pants. She quickly put them on. The woman tied her hair into a ponytail and opened the wardrobe.Behind the wardrobe was an array of weapons,
42| The Research Data They're After
After being shot, the destroyer soldier swung his fist toward Kay's chest. The young man was thrown back, his body arching as he tried to endure the excruciating pain. As Kay coughed and groaned, the destroyer soldier approached and grabbed the collar of his shirt."Sorry for running into you on the street back then!" the destroyer sneered. "You're just a normal guy, huh? But you smell just like the Scard soldiers."People who have been subjects of Scard's research suffer from abnormalities in their sense of smell. They even have an enhanced hunting instinct, similar to a wolf's sense of smell. It's not uncommon for them to be called werewolves. Scard's research subjects can recognize and identify people just by their body scent, which is as unique as a person's DNA."Unfortunately, I'm not interested in normal humans. My business is with Old Man Marco. I heard from someone that Marco has something we're looking for."Kay, still in pain, hissed, "What the hell are you really looking fo
41| What Are You Looking For?
Continuous gunfire echoed in front of the Marco family residence gates. From the second-floor window, Kay watched the entire scene. The attacker was alone, a member of the Destroyer. He shot down all the guards who tried to stop him.Kay clenched his fists tightly. “Without Malvinn and the others, we won’t be able to do anything.”Kay began to remove his jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves to the elbows. He spoke to Marco’s personal assistant.“Quickly find Marco and save him. I’ll try to help the guards stop this man.”However, Marco's assistant remained silent, thinking deeply. His face was stiff and anxious.The last time he met Marco in the office, Marco had given him a message.“Never look for me, no matter what happens. I plan to finish things with them before anything happens to this city.”When Kay reprimanded him again, Marco’s assistant looked up. He spoke to Kay.“Actually, Boss is still here. We were playing chess as usual. You’re an outsider, Kay. You don’t need to sta
40 | Lindy Disappears (B)
At that moment, the door to the room opened. Lindy was startled to see Malvinn standing there holding a cup of hot chocolate."You've woken up? I heard you scream. I knocked on your door a few times, but you didn't respond. I thought you were asleep, so I didn't want to disturb you."Lindy immediately remembered her open suitcase, along with the laptop and other belongings she had stored. She quickly knelt down and hid her bag by pushing it under the bed.Malvinn only glanced briefly at Lindy's open suitcase. He didn't want to interfere with her personal matters. Malvinn placed the hot chocolate on the table and left Lindy alone in her room.The girl became very emotional. After regaining her senses, Lindy suddenly ran and hugged Malvinn from behind. Her memory had returned, and she didn't want to lose Malvinn again. Her reason for coming to the nameless district was none other than to meet Malvinn."What's wrong?" Malvinn was surprised by Lindy's sudden change in behavior. "Are you s

She sat alone on the bed, squeezing her still-lit cigarette, the ember glowing red."Finally, the moment has come."Brown had already entered the district that had been bombed by the Destroyer soldiers. He coughed despite covering his nose with his hand."So, they’ve advanced this far? And the smoke from these bombs, it’s not ordinary smoke. This smoke contains poison. Bastards! They can kill normal civilians living here."With limited visibility, Brown searched for anyone he could find around the area. But everyone had fled, and there was almost no one left, only corpses scattered around.In the distance, through the thick smoke, he saw movement of someone approaching him.Brown raised his hand and waved. "Catherine? Is that you? What’s really happening here?"Brown barely recognized Catherine stumbling through the thick smoke. He walked closer to her. When they met, Catherine suddenly coll

Daniel Lim was preparing a number of weapons. He loaded all his guns with bullets and inspected them carefully. The man looked serious and slightly rushed, doing everything in silence."Are you planning to go after Red?" came a voice from someone Daniel hadn’t expected to appear at such a moment.Daniel didn’t respond and remained focused on his task."Remember, taking action without permission—""I know!" Daniel cut him off without turning to face his colleague. He was fed up and didn’t want to be stopped."Even you—someone who always gets special treatment—won’t be allowed by the Boss to go," said Matheo.Daniel stuffed the weapons he’d prepared into the holsters strapped to his body. Then, grabbing his jacket, he tried to leave without saying much more."I’ll accept the punishment after I return. Report me to the Boss if you want—I don’t care," Daniel said.Matheo remained silent. But a few seconds later, he ran after Daniel and grabbed him from behind."Then I’m coming with you! W

Several members of the Black Lily Syndicate began to arrive. “The phone lines have been cut. They’ve severed the cables. We can’t communicate with the outside world.”“Damn it!” the leader growled.“It’s probably those Anti-Scard Squad guys again. We need to send a report to Jules.”“For safety, we should send someone in person.”The leader growled again, scanning the room for Catherine. He shouted at her, “Catherine, you’re ready to leave now, right? Go to Paradise Club and tell Brown to return to headquarters immediately.”“Yo-kai, Andi!” Catherine leaped down from the second floor, landing squarely in front of him.Andi turned to two of his subordinates. “You two, accompany Catherine until she reaches the district border.”The two men quickly followed Catherine as she departed.“To everyone else, help me repair the telephone circuits. And you two lovely ladies,” Andi said, addressing two women nearby, “open the armory. All of it. We need to prepare for the worst.”The two women nod

Kay returned home and was shocked to see Lindy standing near the window."Stay away from the window!" Kay shouted, running over and pulling her away."What's wrong?" Lindy asked, confused."Be careful and stay alert. Just hide in the house!" Kay instructed. "I'm only here to change clothes, and there's still work I need to do. Be patient for just a little longer.""But—""Starting today, you don’t have to pay me," Kay said. "But I’ll still protect you until the end.""Why?"Lindy was baffled. Kay had come back and was suddenly saying strange things. She worried that Kay might have discovered the motive behind the recent attacks in the district. She wanted to confirm her suspicions.Kay opened his desk drawer, pulling out a pistol wrapped in oil paper and several bullets. He left them on the desk."This should be enough to protect yourself, right? Lock the door and don’t open it for anyone. Anyone! Do you understand?""But—" Lindy started to panic.Kay ignored her and went to his room
