.16. Gloom

We were proceeding through the Gloom. It was quite difficult moving around here since this place is know to be a maze of lost souls, but I crashed here from time to time and I basically memorized all the alleys of this place.
The others needed to take care of the people, take down the enemies and control the situation, but our target was none of that.

From what Jinyoung told me, things here were getting weirder day by day, people disappearing, sudden changes of behaviors, of personalities.
The deaths raised to the point where no one knew exactly how many died per day. "Death" was a usual word in the district, if you were born and raised here you'd probably have seen many of your friends and family dying. But the enormous quantity of deaths around here wasn't normal, not even for a place like this.
So my mission were to find out why, who was hiding behind all those lost, why were they doing it, what did they want to achieve.
Or at least an hint. Something.

- stay put, don't run into situations that are bigger than you ok? And if you think you're in danger run towards the meeting place. Don't worry about me, don't turn around. I can take care of myself.- I said looking at the cute squirrel beside me.

- I already told you, I can defend myself. Beside you're not the only one who grew up here. I know how to handle my self. Just don't worry about me, and let's get things done.- he replied smirking. He walked past me proceeding towards the building we were heading to. That fire burning in his eyes giving him a determinate and dangerous look. The same fire that sparked my adrenaline.

We walked hiding in the shadows, trying not to get noticed, and finally we reach the abandoned building that we were told by Jinyoung.

Apparently many of the disappeared people were brought here before never showing up again, so this must be a kind of headquarter or something like that.

- ok follow me. Just don't do any noises ok?-
He just nodded in response.

We circled the building finding a trashed window. Perfect way to get in.
We climbed through that opening, evicting the broken glass. Once inside the smell hit us.

This place remakes of dead meat and blood.
But we couldn't stop cause of some smelly air. So we proceeded.

Till the moment we heard some voices.

- they are some kids-

- and who the fuck do they think they are coming here and thinking that they can solve everything without us noticing. They are not trolling us.-

- it's four of them on the east side, but apparently there are more coming from the north.-

The four they were talking about should be us, well our group, but the others?
Who can be here at the same time as us?

- I don't fucking care. Take them down.-

- but Sir we need to clean this place and wait till it's totally loaded otherwise our efforts would be wasted. You know the Boss doesn't like wastes.-

- ah Fuck it, just send some of the men to take care of them, we stay here. Leave me a dozen of the guards- 

I shared a knowing smile with the squirrel. we didn't know what they were talking about but one thing for sure, we needed to stop the "loading" of this thing, and we needed to take down the guards. better if we were able to catch someone to interrogate them later. 

the only problem was, we were in two, they were more than 12 apparently. I know that I can easily take down at least 7/8 of them, but I was pretty worried for the cutie beside me. I know he told me he can take care of himself but I can't help myself. 

- you sure you can do this?- 

- positive- 

- ok, i trust you, just remember I'm buying chicken wings later, live for those chicken wings ok?- 

And with that we approached the room where we heard the voices coming from.
