Chapitre 893: Negative Space

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.
