...I tried to resist the restraints. My legs and arms couldn't move. Just as consciousness began to disappear. The confusion from earlier disappeared as if it had never happened. I saw a light appear Everything in sight turned white.

"Again! What the hell was this dream about?” The illness I just had 2-3 months ago started to appear at the wrong time. The doctor diagnosed him with daydreaming. It is sleeping while awake and dreams that occur randomly without warning. Today's knowledge is still unable to treat or analyze the causes of relapse.

Therefore I have to suffer from this curse disease. Although recently there have been few symptoms. But it likes to come when something important happens. Very frustrating. But I have to endure and keep running. I ran away from the older bully I accidentally looked at when I was parting ways with my friends from going to karaoke.

What is wrong with people these days? Those guys ran after him without stopping. Plus, I didn't know what was wrong, I suddenly felt a pain in my thigh. I guess I haven't been exercising lately. Whenever I think about exercising, I always fall asleep and dream. If I run a lot, I'll probably have some pain.

I ran very far From a slum alley, it became an entertainment district with only bright lights. The alleys here are cleverly connected. People can go back and forth to the pubs in the area. There is also a bar outside the store. Therefore, there are often many people walking along the alleys. Contrary to the nature of the general area which is lonely and frightening, however.

Coming to this area myself for the first time made me somewhat confused as to why it wasn't as lively as I said on the internet. The rushing gangsters began to pant and their speed dropped a lot. I don't exercise much. But before the daydreaming I am a school athlete. This running skill is very slight.

I ran through the alleys until they were out of sight. Finally free from them. But it's because I didn't exercise. So I was quite tired from running for a long time. Fortunately, there are still franchise convenience stores where underage children can buy things. Even though it closes at 9 p.m., it can be said that it's a bit early.

But the things here are cheap and diverse. Including a brand of soft drinks that I like but are not very popular in the market. I walked straight to the store with severe pain in my leg.

"Oh, I'm sorry, customer. The store is closed right now. I'm really sorry,” the young employee said as he closed the iron gate in front of the store.

“Oh, doesn't this shop close at 9 p.m.? It's still 8:30 p.m.,” I replied, pointing out my new wristwatch that I had gotten as a birthday present a week ago.

"Uh... It's already 9:15 p.m." The employee opened the phone and showed it to me.

Suddenly, I realized that the second hand on my watch wasn't moving. “Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know my watch wasn't moving. I just got it." I said with a laugh. and walked out of the storefront. Seriously, this watch had only been here less than a month. Plus it's a luxury watch.

I suspect the batteries will need to be changed before the first use.

I walked down the aisle. It wasn't as dark as expected, even though there were some lights on utility poles. I walked with my head down, feeling slumped and without strength. Until a shadow appeared in front of me.

When I look up Meet a cute girl Probably a few years younger than me. Wear a black bodysuit There are dark blue stripes along the sleeves of the shirt. Looks more strange than being a normal person. What kind of crazy person would wear a body suit in the middle of the night like this?

"Come with me"

"Ha?"

There was still no time to say anything else. The girl pulled out a gun from behind her back and pointed it at me.

"Hey, what are you doing to her?"

"This is an order. I repeat, come with me."

“Hey, did you misunderstand something? I won't go with you. I'm just--"

Bang didn't even finish his sentence. She shot my thigh once. I fell and sat on the floor. She came closer and pointed a gun at my head.

"Wha..what..?" Just being shot in the leg probably wouldn't leave me and him speechless. But it's because of fear. Fear and confusion about the events in front of us It made shivers run throughout my body. Even my own words, but deep down I am a brave and calm person. A situation like this would not be difficult to control. So I pulled myself together and tried to seduce her a bit.

“Just now I told you to go together. Shoot me in the leg like this Are you going to let me fly away?”

"The situation has changed now. Listen."

Her cuteness melted away into a cold, soulless one. Her eyes didn't have any revenge or murder in them. But her eyes were empty, as if there was no soul.

“According to Article 7 of the Top Secret Treaty, the subject must not be aware of the environment in which the event will take place. And according to Top Secret Treaty No. 4, Section 8, if the sample is in a state of ineffectiveness and cannot be used for testing. Get rid of it immediately."

Ha, what kind of trial treaty is this? Dispose of it immediately. This isn't deafening, is it?

"But in your case You have earned the right to be free. To liberate your poor soul.”

To be honest, I really don't understand. I don't know what I'm talking about. But to say that she is delusional would probably not be true. Because if I wasn't serious, I wouldn't have shot my leg. I just noticed a bluetooth headphone attached to her left ear. She put her hand on it as if to receive a signal. She stared at me for a moment before running off and disappearing into the shadows.

Leaving me sitting here with blood all over my legs. But I felt that there was sadness in those soulless eyes.

There was the sound of a car coming from behind. The light from a flashlight shines from behind. "Sample found! I repeat, I found an example! Everyone get ready, don't be careless, and absolutely do not shoot!” The voice of a young man in full body armor, like a military officer, shouted loudly. Along with bringing in his team of about 8 people.

They pointed a rifle at me. Two of them ran over and dragged me into their car, not caring at all about my injury. He punched me in the stomach until I knocked him out. and carried me, who was nearly completely unconscious, into the car. and drove away...

When I woke up again, I was lying on a hard bed. In front of me I saw a large light that was so bright it hurt my eyes, like I was in an operating room. My arms and legs were tied tightly to the edge of the bed. I was still dizzy but could hear what the men in gowns around my bed were talking about.

"Oh, it's because of such lousy work that he knows."

"What is this? I have followed the rules."

“Come on, now it's back. Our institution is about to be number one in the world... No, this universe is different."

The men in gowns laughed hysterically like mad scientists.

"Alright, let's try it out... Is 1 hour good?” said a man in a gown who looked like the oldest of the group as he went to the computer on the wall of the room.

TS-3425

Come back and report the results.” He shouted loudly as if he wanted to talk to me. Where there is no sense at all to respond or resist.

As soon as he pressed the button It was as if there was a high voltage flowing throughout the body. Pain spread throughout his body. Compared to what was shot, it was just an ant bite. My consciousness began to fade again. My body's reaction caused me to struggle back and forth.

“Don't be nervous, calm down,” said the man in the gown with a creepy smile.

His pain became more than he could bear. It's like the spirit is leaving the body. I tried to break free from my restraints. My legs and arms couldn't move. Just as consciousness began to disappear. The confusion from before disappeared as if it had never happened. I saw a light appear. Everything in sight turned white.
