The Phantom Child's

Un-human Conflict

At nightfall, the atmosphere of Shannon City was still crowded as usual. This time it is better than the last months that there is almost no activity at night because of terror.

Mysterious Terror carried out by five serial killers is slowly disappearing, although one new case has quite a lot of question marks, but this case is not too stirring like other cases.

The discovery of the human skeleton is considered a murder that occurred several years ago by residents, while the truth is only known by forensic teams and special crime investigation teams. This fact is so beyond reason, so that the state of the city remains conducive both parties decided to keep the truth of the case secret.

After his colleagues came home, Aillard was still in his room, he continued to search for sources that could be used as a bright spot for unsolved cases.

Shortly after, someone knocked on the door of his room.

"Who?" ask Aillard.

"Damians.."

Aillard moved up and walked up to the door, she opened the door slightly to make sure her guest before finally opening the door after seeing Damian standing in front of her room.

"You haven't come home yet?" ask Aillard.

"It's obvious, isn't it?" reply Damian.

"Come in.."

Aillard let Damian in and saw the whole room consisting of various devices and thick books. Instead of looking like a detective's room, this room looks more like a hacker's room.

"What are you doing here alone?" ask Damian.

"Try to dig up information.."

"About what?" ask Damian.

"The Terror of the Five Killer.." replied Aillard.

"Are you also in the human camp?" ask Damian.

"Huh?" Aillard could not digest Damian's words.

"There are two camps in this case, the Un-Human camp and the human camp, which one do you believe?" ask Damian.

"You too are consumed by theory." replied Aillard.

"What's the case that human skeleton isn't enough?" ask Damian.

"I believe that even if it doesn't make sense, what kind of creature would take the entire human body and leave the skeleton alone?" ask Aillard who still doubts the truth behind the human skeleton case.

"We are still under investigation, at least we know, we are not dealing with humans, the possibility that the creature has special abilities, inevitably we have to prepare special forces." Damian said.

"Special forces? We're a special team, isn't that enough? Please give me plausible evidence so that I can accept it, I will also seek and prove myself to make myself believe in the existence of Un-Human." said Aillard who almost shouted.

"We'll find out soon enough, Mr. Randolf.. However, our special team is no match for them at all, if only courage and determination, you will only send your comrades to a ridiculous fate of death.. I hope you remember this, well, Good Night." Damian concluded before finally exiting Aillard's room.

While Aillard was almost frustrated with the topic of Un-Human who constantly urged him to believe. Meanwhile, he himself did not know what his form and origins were like. He only believes that crazy people are doing cruel things to achieve certain goals. Then, topics like this spread and guaranteed that no suspicion would come to him.

While Aillard was still struggling with his computer, deep in the darkness of the Sierra Mountains, a group of people gathered together, they simultaneously used a black robe that almost covered their entire body, they talked to each other without showing their faces.

"They're attacking to a random route, no one knows where they're going to attack right now." said a young-sounding male voice.

"That's easy, they intend to besiege the capital by attacking the suburban city first, the possibility of Delmare in terror is huge.." this time the voice of a girl.

"No need to worry about Delmare, the puppy is very reliable.." .....

"Jack?"

"We'll split the team, one of our colleagues is already in Shannon, the rest will go to Halstead, Dixie, Ellsworth and Bulton. Each of them goes in pairs, tomorrow night come to the appointment place to submit a report." said someone called Jack.

"I'm going to Bulton.."

"Huh?? Bulton's too far!" protest the girl.

"I'm leaving.."

"Hey, wait for me!!"

"Barbara, don't die." said the other girl.

"There will be no fight, I see it!" reply Barbara.

Two men went first to the southernmost city, Bulton City. Then, a girl with a sword in her hand went along with her comrade to Halstead City.

"Peter, take Lux to Ellsworth, while Xavier and Florin will go to Dixie." said Jack.

"What about you?" ask Peter.

"I'm going to Harvest.."

"Well, see you later." said Peter before Jack left.

Meanwhile, Barbara tried to equalize her speed with the man before her so as not to fall behind, but in such a situation, she could still casually ask.

"Heh, Poison Maniac, is he coming tomorrow night?" ask Barbara.

Got no answer.

"Woi!"

Still no answer.

"Woi, Emmanuel !!! I'm asking you!" Barbara raised her tone.

Quickly, Emmanuel grabbed Barbara by the neck and pushed her hard against the wall of a tall building.

They don't fall, gravity makes them float in the air, as if there's a strong adhesive that keeps them from falling off the wall.

"Aakhhh, emm-"

"I don't remember ever letting you call my name.. Call me one more time and you'll die!" Press Emmanuel with a furious tone.

"Sak-kit.." - Barbara.

Emmanuel took off the grip of his hand from Barbara's neck until Barbara fell from a height, while Emmanuel descended slowly. He stood before Barbara who fell motionless.

"Honestly, I'm always fed up with you, you should understand, ever since you decided to join us, I've warned you not to bother me, she said, do I also have to speak using a roar so you can understand?" emmanuel said with his sharp words and left.

Barbara was still moving, so that, when Emmanuel was not around anymore, her fingers slowly began to move back. He opened his eyes and tried to look around. Then, Barbara changed her position from face down to back. He stared at the moon hanging in the sky.

"You're still like the moon, beautiful but too far away, you're untouchable, my hands can't reach you.. Ahhh.. My neck seems to be broken, even my ribs are crumpled, I can't get up." said Barbara.

Barbara tried to focus herself, then smiled faintly.

"Damn it, that poison maniac actually left me.. I assure you no one likes her! I assure.. Ha. ha. haa.."

After her small laugh, Barbara was unconscious again.

As dawn broke, someone came and found Barbara lying unharmed.
