Chapter 552
The autopsy of Gregory’s chief secretary, who had been turned into a living puppet, left Se-Hoon with two distinct doubts.
First, how could a high-ranking hero who possesses extraordinary physical and mental resilience succumb so easily to the transformation? And second, why hadn’t Baek-Yeon’s Revelation warned them even once when so many were turning into living puppets?
Some new technique explains the first, but the second... things just don’t add up.
No matter how minor, Baek-Yeon’s prophecy had always struck like an arrow the moment a threat to humanity’s future emerged. Although the criteria for a “threat” had always been ambiguous, Puppeteer’s malice had been so blatantly broadcast.
Yet no warning whatsoever? Feeling like it was disturbingly out of place, Se-Hoon hadn’t blindly charged into conflict with Puppeteer and instead bought time to uncover the truth—thus leading to the barrier.
Woong!
Shielded from Puppeteer, mankind gained the time to observe the strange changes occurring among fellow humans. And it was during that period that the true culprit had shown itself.
Not beneath the earth, not upon it, and not even in the sky. It was past the sky itself: a puppet moon, drifting in outer space.
Anyone who looked up at the moon in the night sky—at Lunatic—would suddenly gain indescribable knowledge. However, that knowledge was something only high-ranking heroes, who had tempered their bodies and souls over long years, could comprehend.
That’s...
Could it be...?
The method of transcending bodily limits and elevating the soul to new heights—at a glance, of course, that was purely bizarre and suspicious. It was something that they would have distrusted outright.
