Chapter 6 - THE THREADS OF BLOOD AND IMPOSSIBLE REGENERATION

four is in one of the hallways of the television center and arrives at a room, where he sees some men arguing and one of them gets angry because he doesn't know what they will report on today.

four just looks at them and activates his ability, threads surround the men and tear them to pieces, Cuatro just looks at the mutilated corpses for a moment and leaves.

He reaches a hallway that leads to the newsroom but sees many people there. He realizes they are guards responsible for escorting the person who is forging documents.

All because of the people outside protesting with him. Four pulls out more threads and attacks them, leaving a trap of many threads. These are invisible, and the guards who moved to attack her are torn to pieces.

The others remain still, but Four had already planned ahead and placed knives above them, hanging from strings that held them in place. Four breaks the strings, causing the knives to fall.

The other guards end up impaled and dying, some from blood loss and others from a blow to the head. Four advances to the newsroom.

She enters and sees everyone dead, killed by someone. Four takes a closer look at the bodies and realizes that they were killed with an axe, but it would be difficult for someone to kill everyone with an axe.

She comes to the conclusion that it was a small axe and only has one person in mind, since it seems that he only did this when he was bored and happened to pass by, of course he only did it because the others couldn't.

"This could only have been three hfm... that bastard only causes trouble," said four, leaving.

Later, four arrives at a bar to de-stress, but there he finds someone, three, who was also drinking there, and four approaches him, complaining about his mission.

"You killed the guy I needed to kill for the payment, now I can't claim it," said Four. "As if I knew you were going on a mission, besides, I only killed him because the noise of the people was bothering me."

Out of nowhere, a man comes up and asks if there is a person with an eye patch, Four and Three say no.

"I see, so you don't know, then," said the man.

Suddenly, he hits Three and slams him to the ground, then charges at Four, but she dodges him. The man calls to his companion, and a man with dark glasses arrives and attacks Four from behind. Four dodges him, knowing that this is a nuisance.

Three gets up from the rubble of the wall, sees the two guys there, and launches himself into the attack, pulling a small axe from the pockets of his suit. He attacks the man who hit him, but the man dodges.

The other takes advantage of the situation and pulls out a gun, blowing Three's head off. Then the other one takes advantage and punches him again, and just in case, throws a grenade at him, blowing up his body.

Only Four is left, but she was expecting this. She left some wires there and one of them cuts his hand. The other one knows that with her it's not a game, he'll go for real, but Four says something.

"Are you going to stand there slacking off, or are you going to kill these guys so we can leave quickly?" said the fourth, looking toward the place where the third's body exploded. "Yes, I'm coming, just let me get this off me.

A voice came from there. We see that it is Three with his body destroyed, but we see how his body slowly regenerates until it is normal again. This is his ability that allows him to regenerate. It would seem almost useless because of the cost and illogicality, but Three is the only one who had such an ability and was able to strengthen it.

Three attacks the guy, but they shoot him again and destroy him. However, he regenerates faster now, and taking advantage of the guy's complacency, he attacks him and slices off his head with his axe.

We see his head roll to the other guy's feet. Three just laughs, knowing that the other guy will try to finish him off, but he will regenerate every so often.

Three attacks, but the other activates his ability, which transforms the guy's arm into a beast with a mouth that opens and teeth that look like a blender, devouring Three and tearing him to pieces.

Cautro just sighs and attacks with the threads, only doing a little damage to the beast. Suddenly, the creature feels ill, and Tres comes out of it, piercing the creature's body because Tres regenerates too quickly.

Narrator—But it also regenerates from its blood, making it almost impossible to kill, but it is not immortal. It can evolve its regeneration ability, and if it tires, it may be possible to kill it, but if it evolves its ability to regenerate beyond limits, it will be impossible.

Returning with three, after leaving the creature, he goes to the guy and kills him, well, he finishes him off with this. Three is satisfied and then normally asks for another drink, and Four just looks at him, as if he doesn't know what he just did.

In the end, we see the bar in flames because three killed the others, since everyone was hunting them down because of the fight. With this, we see three and four walking towards the organization. They talk and something is revealed.

"Well, I guess that's all. At least there was no chaos," said four, drinking a bottle from the bar. "Well, at least there was no problem finding people like this. You know, this excites me.

"The fight or what, you wasted more time. Besides, don't forget that the organization told you to stop going there all the time. Even though you can regenerate yourself, they forbade you from doing your thing because they know how you are," said Four.

"Hey, I'm strong too. I only kill trash," said Three, smiling. "Say it yourself. The reason we all know the function of the Five Technique along with its ability is because of you."

A few days ago, it was revealed that everyone was fighting in a mission, and five of them used their skills with their technique, which spread so far that everyone had to move away.

Except for three, and we see that they were charred, but they regenerated, although they were angry because the coconut water they were drinking turned to dust. That's why everyone knows the technique, because three were the only ones who interacted and managed to survive.

Returning to the three, they remembered why they were forbidden, but they don't care. They are close to reaching the organization, but they are stopped by a vehicle whose occupants say something to them.

"Get in if you want to get there faster," replied one. "If not, what will you do? Kill us?"

"No, but you'll get there later. We're also headed there," said the guy as he approached the window.

When they saw him, Three and Four recognized him. He was the commander and right-hand man of Seven. Behind him was a teenager who was the commander's assistant. These were the ones who sometimes went with Seven on his missions.

Narrator—there are many ranks in the organization, but they are related to the military or something else. There are recruits, who are novices because they are new; there are soldiers who are already officially on the team and in their section.

There are supervisors, then commanders, captains, lieutenants, members of the command council, and finally the leader of the entire organization, the top 10 most dangerous mercenaries. Although they are in the organization, they are completely free; only the council and the leader keep them in check so they don't cause problems.

"Each mercenary is assigned a commander to watch over them or just report what is happening, if there are problems with something they do. The commanders are also given an assistant so that they don't have to do it alone," said the narrator, finishing the explanation.

Returning with the others, they get into the car and are taken to the organization. They are there and realize that the others are too. Finally, the reason is explained: they will send everyone except one person, but it is a mission.

Only a few others are needed to finish, but Cuatro asks if two more are needed. No, Nueve tells him that he is there reading a book as usual.

"Look, there he is, reading, as always, but only books of any kind," said Nine, pointing to the spot.

We see Two sitting, drinking a cup of coffee and reading at the same time, all in an elegant manner.

"So who's missing?" I asked, confused. "Only three commanders and two new recruits who are going with them on a mission. They're just coming to drop off the recruits, and we'll take them on the mission with us."

In the end, they'll just wait for the two new ones so they can explain the mission to them together and then leave. With this, we see on a sheet of paper that one is in the section of the commander of eight and the other in the section of the commander of six.
