Shadow Slave
Chapter 893
Verne and Professor Obel were suddenly very focused on his words. Even Dorn, who had spent the last two days on the wall with Sunny, seemed to shake off his fatigue and paid rapt attention to what his captain had to say.
Sunny shut his eyes for a moment.
"When the first victim vanished, I said that there were only three possibilities - that he had deserted, that he had been killed by another human, and that a Nightmare Creature had infiltrated the facility. Well... I was wrong. None of these theories were correct. The third one was the closest to the truth, though."
He sighed.
"There is indeed a Nightmare Creature. Only it is not inside the fortress."
Verne frowned, looking at him with dark intensity.
"What do you mean?"
Sunny lingered for a bit before answering.
"The answer is almost obvious when you consider two things, and then put them together. First, the bodies. People don't just vanish without a trace, and yet we failed to find anything - not at LO49, and not on the coastal plain beyond the wall. So, the most obvious answer is that the bodies are being taken to somewhere where we can't find them... into the water. There is a whole ocean out there, after all."
Verne wanted to say something, but remained silent at the end, waiting for Sunny to continue. Sunny nodded.
"The second thing is the Call. Its strength had a qualitative change on the day we fought the Scavengers... too drastic of a change, really, to be produced by a single Gate. Especially one as unimpressive as that. I remember being convinced that there were two, at least, before exploring the plain and finding just one. I even said that we were lucky."
He stared at them for a moment, and then shook his head.
