One of the following days.
The world was still reeling from the return of Lee Yeonho — and we were already stepping into the shadow of war.
An official demon raid by the Hunter Association had been launched in two districts of the Orange Zone.
The area had long been marked by an abnormally high mortality rate. People died in their sleep, disappeared as if they had never existed. Today, we began the purge.
The operation was silent.
No press releases. No cameras. Only steel boots, radio commands, and the stench of burning barricades.
Statistically, Nightwatch had been the largest operation in recent years. But this...
This was its spiritual successor.
We sealed off the district, cutting off every street, every alley. Drones hovered overhead like a swarm of metal crows. There was nowhere for the demons to run.
And when we came for them — they already knew: mercy would not be shown.
