Gunfire and the sound of tables and chairs getting knocked over intermingle with N109Zone slang I don't understand.In the hidden utility room, I hug the little girl tightly as I look out the secret window that's facing the lobby.
"There are so many people. Today's a good day for bus-Mmph!"
"Do you have a death wish? Hide and don't talk" I told her.
The floor is soaked in blood, and the mice hiding under the floorboards scamper away in fear.Whistling, the man casually strolls over to the bar, rings the bell, and then shoves a photo in front of the shopkeeper.
"I suggest you bring out our guest. Mr.Sherman's not going to sit around and leave her unattended." The man said.
Isn't Sylus the leader of Onychinus? Who's Mr. Sherman.
"I'm sorry, she's not here. I'd remember a pretty face if she actually showed up." The woman said.
"Gonna keep your mouth shut? Fine." He turns around to face his comrades. His broken, wire-bound jaw opens as he lets out a hoarse cackle. "Pry open their mouths one at a time. Someone will spill the beans sooner or later."
"Missy, they're looking for you, right?" She asked looking at me.
The secret window is blocked off, and the woman's voice drifts softly through a gap.
"Are you going to hand me over to them?" I asked.
I try to sound calm as I tightly clutch the tranquilizer in my sleeve.
I have yet to test the thing Xavier claims could"paralyze an elephant," but there aren't any zoos in the N109 Zone.
"Anyone who's Onychinus's target is valuable. I can get a better price if I find the right person. Stay where you are. I don't want to hand you over like this."
Suddenly, a crow soars in and dives toward the search party's leader, its razor-sharp wings aimed at him.
"..What is that?!" The guy said.
I roll and crawl out of the utility room. As I try to sneak away quietly, someone yanks my collar. I turn around and aim my gun. I see a familiar face in the shadows, his chin slightly raised.
It was sylus "So when someone saves you, do you always point your gun at them to express your gratitude?"
Several bullets graze him only to dissipate into dust.The people who fired the shots are strangled by something. They slump to the ground, dead.Remembering the rumors I heard before as well as this "Mr. Sherman," I'm quiet as I look
"Your underlings aren't exactly obedient." I said
Before my mockery, Sylus's mouth twitches as if he wants to say something. But in the end, he just purses his lips. "Focus on yourself first."
Hearing Sylus's voice, the search party's leader suddenly panics. A cloud of energy particles gathers around him...Several Wanderers quickly materialize. Roaring, they rush straight for us.
"Are they calling for backup because they can't win? How is this not cheating?" | asked.
Sylus grabs my wrist and holds me in his arms. He slides his finger over the trigger of my gun, aiming the weapon at the figure in the center of the room.
"Do you expect people from the N109 Zone to be nice and polite?"
