Reborn as a Supervisor

"Hey, get up!"

"You better get out of the way. You're in the middle of the road... It's in the way."

A huge, heavy boot that smelled of mud and blood suddenly kicked the boy lying on the ground away.

Although there are soldiers in the city, not all of them are kind. After all, this is a city...

"...!!!"

The boy opened his eyes and looked around, the mud walls around him confused him.

A dim light shone on the ground, and the house was empty.

The room was filled with the smell of blood and vomit.

Atilok is very familiar with the atmosphere here. After all, he will never forget it...

A child with a childish voice peeked in from outside, seeming to have something in his hands.

“Attiloka…!”

"Look at what Misser found!"

You can tell from the voice that this is a girl, and you can feel her joy without even looking.

But where did her voice come from?

After the little hand covered in blood and sweat opened, Atiloka saw clearly what was in the child's hand in the flickering light.

It's cookies... cookies that have been crushed into pieces.

Atilok looked intently at the crushed biscuit in his hand. It didn't match what he remembered.

“Huh…? It was still intact when I got it from Misser…”

He wanted to see the girl's face clearly, but the light in the room was too dim, and Atiloka couldn't see the expression on the girl's face no matter how hard he tried.

Suddenly, the light bulb hanging on the ceiling flickered several times... and then went out.

The object planted in his arms pressed against his chest, quietly exuding a warmth that shouldn't belong to this cold winter.

It was very warm, a nostalgic warmth, but it was also this warmth that made him feel bitterly cold.

Before Atiloka could feel the warmth, a bonfire not far from him lit up instead of the hanging light bulb.

“…The first one.”

This time, the bonfire illuminated the two people who were sitting and laughing with him. Hanging above the bonfire was a piece of flesh and blood that was almost as big as a human and was unknown in appearance.

There is no doubt that the only living things that can be seen in this icy and snowy world are humans, so it is self-evident what these "foods" are.

"...What are you eating...?"

"Just a mouse."

The child named "Ersalu" answered his question, but never looked at Atilokha again after that.

"Where are the others? Where did they go?!"

Atilok was eager to know the whereabouts of the other children. This was very important to him and had been his long-standing obsession.

"Hmm... As for Pachei, you should have seen her just now, right?"

The child named "James" stopped chewing and answered his question.

"Answer me...! Roger, and Misser... where did they go?!"

"Don't be so anxious... Roger should go to bed early."

"I don't know where Misser went...but maybe he's hanging around the lake again?"

One of them was sleeping, and the other was wandering by the lake, but was that really the case? Especially in such a haunted place?

"Where's He Ye...?"

"Don't worry, he was still jumping around in the snow when we came back."

"It's so funny to see him diving into the snow..."

(Head...into the snow...funny, what a hell of a joke?)

"…the sixth…"

"Horns and Bourgeois..."

Just as Atilokha was about to ask further questions, he found that the same nostalgic warmth was oozing out of his palms.

He looked down at his hands, his eyes filled with red.

The sight frightened Atilokha so much that he staggered back a few times.

At this moment, he tripped.

Like sinking into water, he felt the scarlet color devouring his sanity.

After propping himself up with his hands, he saw Ersalu lying in a pool of blood.

Ersalu, who was pressed under him, spoke slowly with a smile.

"There is no place for us in this world anymore."

"We can only wait for the day when the snow covers our bodies and others walk over our bodies."

“Until then, no one can truly prove our existence.”

"I know you're still hesitating. It's okay. I'll help you end it all."

"Count me in, Ersalu, the ninth child..."

……

“Attiloka…!”

"Atilokha! What are you doing? Wake up!!!"

"… Let's run away. We have collected enough information. There is no point in dying here."

"Hai Lu Sha Ying" was calling out to Atilokha who was in hallucination. He had been in this state for a while.

Not long ago, the two were fighting with the employees.

Even with a large number of drones delaying time, even with Atilokha constantly using range attacks to interrupt the employees' offensive rhythm.

But this only buys "Hailu Shaying" time to collect intelligence, winning is simply impossible.

At this time, Atiloka was seriously injured, and "Hailu Shaying" took advantage of the situation and pulled him out of the library stage without any hesitation.

"Ah... ahem... I, I can't run away..."

"Are you kidding me?! If I hadn't just pulled you out, you would have been dead!"

"...I can't retreat, those children, that heavy snow...they are still trapped in that heavy snow!!"

At some point, the lantern in Atilok's hand turned red... It was no ordinary lantern, but his EGO.

Similarly, the change in EGO represents the change in mood, and he is very excited at this moment.

"Attiloka... they are long gone."

When the child was brought back on the spot, "Hailu Shaying" had already found out his background.

The children that Atilokha mentioned had all died in the heavy snow, and he was the only one who survived.

"No, I must move on..."

"I can always hear... someone calling my name in this library..."

"I have been waiting for this moment ever since this lantern appeared..."

"I finally have a chance to touch the edge of the mist... I can't give up no matter what."

At this time, Atiloka could no longer hear anything. This was because he was influenced by Carmen and was in a "half asleep and half awake" state.

Regardless of the obstruction of "Hai Lu Sha Ying", he returned to the stage of the library without hesitation...

"What on earth is worthy of you doing this..."

After all, he was half his child, and he couldn't just watch him take such a risk, so Hai Lu Sha Ying also chased after him.

Chen Fan, who was watching the development of the situation silently at the side, seemed to be unable to sit still. He felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Chen Fan had long known that Atiloka was about to become "distorted". After all, the changes in him could not be concealed.

But he didn't expect that Carmen could find such an outstanding child. It would be bad if he let her succeed.

After all, Atilokha is not the only one who is obsessed with children. He also wants to save another one...
