I had thought everything was perfect.
We could make money, torment people we didn’t like, and I even knew that since it’s exam period, taking care of today’s job meant we would fail, but it wasn’t as if our grades were ever going to be high anyway so there wasn’t much risk involved.
The person who requested this was clearly very influential, so we had calculated that what we were about to do wouldn’t grow into something too serious.
Since it was not an ordinary item—something akin to a device that could neutralize superhuman powers—we were given this contraption in exchange for a simple task: to tease and confine a certain girl, and in return, we would receive several times the salary of an average office worker.
And when we tested it by taking apart a reputed supernaturally gifted girl from our class, we confirmed that this gadget wasn’t a dud.
Through the advance payment, we had already been assured that this wasn’t merely talk, so we even started dreaming about what to do with the rest of the money once we got it.
But still, what exactly is this? Are we all having the same shared dream? No, this can’t be a dream—it’s too realistic, too horrifying to be merely an illusion.
So, this must be real.
A reality cruel and terrifying beyond comprehension.
“You, you…!”
Most of the friends who had crowded in with me have already fled, and the few of us left here are trembling uncontrollably, wetting ourselves as we are paralyzed with fear—not a matter of shame, in any way, given the circumstance.
How can anyone not be terrified and petrified after witnessing in real-time the sight of someone’s arm violently ripped from its body?
At this point, none of us have any confidence in our chances of survival, making our own loss of bladder control a mere afterthought.
All we can do while being shaken with the horror our perpetrator has left us with is to regret having come to this point.
It all started when…
That girl’s eyes lost their light.
At that moment, we should have noticed something was off and fled, but we didn’t. Instead, we stood there confidently, watching our ringleader Hyejin approach that crazy girl with a pair of scissors in her hand.
We trusted the device too much—it was a grave mistake!
We had always known that supernaturally gifted individuals possessed monstrous strength!
As soon as that girl seemed to stagger, Hyejin’s arms were brutally ripped off by her.
A fountain-like gush of bl**d, followed by Hyejin’s piercing screams.
And just like that, with Hyejin no longer posing a threat, the girl came towards us, her focusless eyes and jerky movements terrifying to behold.
Was the device we had been given defective?
We had no time to ponder the question—like lambs faced with a lion, we should have fled…
Except for a few, including myself, who were left paralyzed with fear by the surrealness of the situation.
Of course, this was understandable.
None of us had ever truly experienced an immediate sense of mortal danger. It was impossible to remain composed in front of such a monstrous being who could tear apart a human arm so effortlessly.
I thought this was surely the end.
“Meaningless.”
Erica casually bypassed us, who were helplessly sprawled on the floor, to chase after the others. She tore off their arms and threw them aside.
Terrified that she might turn around and tear our arms off too, I dared not look back. Instead, amidst the screams, a woman’s voice reached my ears. It was the very woman who had requested our cooperation against Erica.
“Wow~. Never seen anyone stick their hand and head into a tiger’s mouth at the same time like this. Seriously, you’ve got guts. Go for it! By the way, I’m planning to go with some other friends on that morning, so I won’t be interfering. You probably understand what I mean, don’t you?”
This explained why Inna, despite being known as one of the most powerful supernaturally gifted individuals in our grade, refrained from taking direct action against Erica. What we didn’t know was the overwhelming might that lay dormant within Erica’s doll-like frame.
The nauseating scent of bl**d has frozen my body in place. The familiar cries of agony ringing out from the distance seem to have deprived me of any strength to move. Was I going to suffocate and d*e like this?
“Looks like in certain ways, you’re simply too kind. Even in her current irrational state, you’re treating those who’ve collapsed as having surrendered and thus refraining from causing them harm. If you don’t see humans as being worth less than insects, then you truly are a kind person. Or is it the opposite? You think they’re worse than insects? Too dirty?”
When I thought I wouldn’t be able to move until d*ath came, it was the woman standing nearby, speaking calmly, who got me moving.
“Instead of talking nonsense, call the emergency services or the association already! People are dying right now, can’t you see?”
“And why should I*? I’ve already stated that I won’t take either side here. Besides, those arms haven’t been torn off yet, have they? Aren’t you going to do it yourself? Or should I pluck those arms off for you and make the call while I’m at it?”
The woman with pink hair and sharp features smirked.
Though endowed with a voluptuous chest that draws the eyes of both men and women, her words were far from compassionate—showing a meager level of humanity compared to regular people.
“Are you thinking your device has gone faulty?”
“Isn’t it obvious? If it wasn’t broken, a normal human wouldn’t be this strong!”
Even though my body was utterly exhausted, I argued back with vigor, spurred by indignation.
No, perhaps I was merely distracting myself from the cruel and horrifying spectacle unfolding behind me by arguing with her.
Despite the summer-like weather, I couldn’t help but shiver thinking about what was happening.
“Does this device roughly weaken supernatural abilities to a level where they can no longer manifest? The flaw being that it can’t suppress physical enhancements that have already been bolstered by superhuman abilities?”
“…Yes, it certainly should have worked on that girl who ‘activates’ her supernatural powers! If the guy who gave me this device hadn’t handed over a defective one, none of this would have happened.”
Instead of directing anger towards the girl causing chaos behind me or the shameless woman in front of me, my fury surged at the man who provided the malfunctioning device, even though he wasn’t present.
Grinding my teeth with the desire to someday exact revenge on that man, I heard a sigh from the woman leaning against the wall.
“Ah, ignorance really is a crime.”
“What? Ignorance?”
“Unless you’re familiar with supernaturally gifted individuals, you probably wouldn’t know. Technically speaking, she isn’t a constant-activation type but an erosion type. It makes perfect sense why it didn’t work.”
“…Erosion type?”
“You see. You didn’t know, did you?”
What is she talking about? I’d heard of constant-activation and manual-activation types of supernatural powers, but this was the first time I was hearing about an “erosion” type.
Are supernaturally gifted individuals that complex, categorizing themselves in such detail?
“Well, since her erosion hasn’t progressed too far and her abilities have weakened substantially, she’s currently closer to the manual activation type. I thought there was a chance that you might overpower her and she could come to me and request a deal. But from the moment she began to lose control due to that device, I should have realized something was off, instead of blaming others.”
“…So you’re saying the thing suppressing her includes not only her supernatural abilities but her sanity?”
“Right. Otherwise, why would she behave so erratically, so unlike her normal self? The erosion type means that an ability permeates their body, meaning your device could also be suppressing parts of her consciousness intertwined with the ability. Hmm, unless her power advances further, it might be futile trying to harm her with that. Such a waste. I thought we had found something useful but it seems it’s not as helpful right now.”
“So, if I somehow damage and turn that device off…”
“You think that’s going to fix her right away? Her mental state has already been affected. It will take time for her to regain her senses. And if the device stops working and she regains her ability entirely, she might go into an uncontrollable frenzied state, and you’ll really be dead.”
I had never heard such words from that man.
I had simply assumed he had us do his dirty work to avoid controversy.
The woman observed me expressionlessly before slightly tilting her head.
“You don’t seem to know either, judging by the fact that you haven’t called for help. Even if you’re stupid, you should have figured it out by now. Even if you call the police, they’ll only arrive. If you call an ambulance, the police will show up anyway.”
“What? What do you mean? Why would only the police show up?”
“Hmm? You really didn’t catch on? There’s a real reason why she doesn’t consider most people as human beings. What’s the point of treating you as such if you can’t even think like humans? You kids are the reason why normal people like me don’t get treated as humans by her. Reflect on that.”
“Speak clearly! What on earth are you saying!”
“Hey, shouting like that will make her come back. Is that what you want?”
The moment she said that, I managed to restrain my impulse to lunge at her.
“Good job listening.”
“I’m listening, so just hurry up and speak.”
“Given that her power is rather peculiar, your device held by you must be a part of an experiment conducted on her. Perhaps to see if it would work on other peculiar abilities. Though I don’t know the specifics, since her sister holds a high position in the association, if it somehow revealed that they were conducting experiments on her younger sister, that entire group would be wiped out. Hence…”
“So what? What does that have to do with the police?”
“Hold on, hear me out. When she finishes with the rest—you see, though the deed was not executed around her sister’s closely guarded influence, the group responsible for this—there aren’t many organizations capable of researching independently of the association and still focusing on superhuman abilities suppression tech. Surely, it’s linked to organizations like the military or police, so they wouldn’t want it to be leaked back to her sister. So they’d naturally want to eliminate all evidence, wouldn’t they?”
Eliminate all evidence…?
Even innocent people like us?
“If they k*ll her, her influential sister will be enraged. That would be foolish…”
“Why would they k*ll her? They only need to eliminate you. With your deaths from excessive bleeding, they can blame Erica and utilize the situation to frame her, even exploiting her sister’s desire to protect her…”
“No, it wasn’t supposed to turn out like this…”
Tears involuntarily stream down my face, blurring my vision.
I’m freezing and shaking.
I’m terrified—afraid of her coming back.
“Mom…”
“You see? You guys should never have accepted such odd requests from the start. Regardless, it’s interesting. I heard she’s diligently studying for exams, though this might make her late…”
The observer of our misfortune stood smirking, looking in Erica’s direction, a direction I was too scared to look at.
Even through my tear-blurred vision, I could clearly see her sinister smile.
