Chapter 600
Knock knock
Rapid arrived at the door and knocked. He could sense one of the four people inside the building approaching. And when that person reached the door…
Creak
The small window set into the door opened.
“…?”
The man who spotted Rapid through the window gave him a puzzled look. It was the look of someone thinking, Why is a child here?
“Who are you?”
Then the man asked Rapid.
“…”
Rapid said nothing. He just stared at the man.
“…Can’t you speak?”
The man asked again when Rapid remained silent.
“…”
But this time too, Rapid said nothing.
“Hmm.”
The man let out a low grunt, watching the silent Rapide. After staring at Rapide for a moment, lost in thought, the man finished his contemplation and closed the window.
Squeak
The window closed, and then the door opened.
“If you can hear me, raise your right hand.”
The man who opened the door crouched down to Rapide’s eye level as he spoke. At his words, Rapide raised his right hand and waved it.
Thud
As Rapid waved his hand, the man’s eyes closed rapidly. The man with closed eyes collapsed right there. He wasn’t dead. He was merely in a deep sleep.
Thud, thud
Watching the sleeping man, Rapid picked him up and carried him inside the building. He set the man down beside him and closed the door.
‘The gatekeeper is taken care of.’
One of the four was taken care of. Now there were three left.
‘One on the second floor, two in the basement.’
