Murder Drones N Tail 소설 & 이야기

Then he hefts the greatsword, plants himself at the VIP entrance, and addresses every guard trying to approach with a single word that rolls from his throat like a rockslide. *Fuck off.* Behind him, Dorian's drone swarm is already airborne. Twelve folding-wing units deployed from the metal case. Stark white searchlights rake wildly across my seat. A single micro-drone breaks formation and hovers right above my nape, its sensor blinking an abnormal red. Dorian stares at the control panel, fingers typing a command. He deletes it. Types again. Deletes it. On the third attempt he enters: *Target locked. Continuous sampling. Set to highest priority.*

“I’m threading partitions—she’s wrapped her root logic in recursive illusions. Every time I cut one loop, she spawns another.” Bram leaned over her shoulder. “Can you win this chess match?” Ines grit her teeth. “Eventually.” “Eventually” did not arrive. The floor panels snapped open. Defense drones rose like metal insects—sleek, angular, humming with lethal voltage. Ciro cursed. “We’ve got company!” The first drone dove. Varian grabbed Liora and shoved her aside as a blade-arm sliced where her head had been. Sparks showered the floor. “Go!” Varian yelled. “Ines, keep working!”

“They’ll come again. And if they find you, they’ll use you. You don’t understand what you are.” “I’m not leaving without answers.” Drayke wiped the blood from his lip, his voice low but steady. “Then you’ll get them from me. Because I’m done letting him speak for you.” They locked eyes again, the promise of another fight simmering just beneath the surface. And then The alley lights flickered. Once. Twice. Caelum’s head snapped up. “We’re not alone.” Before anyone could move, a drone screamed down from above, red targeting lasers sweeping across the ground. The air filled with the sound of spinning rotors and a mechanical voice:

Then the sky fills with the mechanical whine of drones . Adrian stiffens. I look up through the broken roof . Black drones swarm like angry wasps , red lights blinking, giant screens on their bellies flashing the same image over and over. Adrian’s face. Underneath, in bold white letters : WANTED : TURNED TRAITOR – DEAD OR ALIVE REWARD : 5 MILLION CREDITS NIGHTWATCH DIRECTIVE 66 – TERMINATE ON SIGHT His wanted poster loops, again and again, his silver eyes staring down at us like a ghost.

"Drake told me what happened. We came as soon as we heard. I'm so sorry for your loss. What can we do?" "Well, needless to say, we closed down the main lobby and casino for the day and the crime scene has remained untouched," Kellen said. "We were hoping you might share some insight as to the crime. We also wish to discuss other crimes in the area." Xander nodded. "Yes, of course." Then he turned to me. "This is Kalyssa Carran, our new Mate." My head snapped up, but I said nothing. "She's a veterinarian and her clinic just burned down," Xander replied. "And it was clearly arson. I suspect the crimes may be related."

"Seven of them. One for each sovereign nation. They aren't targeting the Grid, Caspian. They’re targeting the Richard Bloodline." "Declan! Tasha!" Caspian shouted into his comms. "Initiate the Aegis Shield! We have incoming kinetic projectiles!" "The Shield won't work!" I screamed, my mind racing as I visualized the flight paths. "The Aegis is a digital lock. These drones are Mechanical Hammers. They’re designed to break through the hardware, not the code!" The first drone hit the lower levels of the Tower with a bone-shaking thud. The building groaned, the structural stabilizers fighting to compensate for the massive kinetic energy.

"W-We haven't figured that out yet." "That's a child in your kindergarten. How can you not know who he is?" David quickly ordered the teachers to check. While the officers weren't looking, Esther leaned in close to my ear again. "Eve, you'd better think carefully. If I go down, you won't walk away clean either," she uttered. My heart clenched. I turned to look at her. She was smiling eerily. "Your son gave his hoodie to someone else. That child died. Everyone thought it was your son. Don't you think people might start wondering what really happened?"

"And who are you to tell us anything? she is OUR mate, not yours and you have no right to keep her from us" My heart sank as the memories came flooding back to me. Dragus and Darian had turned up, they were with me on the doorstep when I collapsed. What were they talking about "Our Mate"? I had to admit I had felt the sparks from Dragus in the bar but I hadn't even touched Darian yet, so why did they both think I was both of their mates? "Because we have two mates dear child, as black dragons we are paired with two" The voice I now recognised as Jewels sound in my head and startled me enough that the room around me became quiet. I kept my eyes shut tight when I felt the bed dip beside me fol

Then a faint mechanical whir drifted down from above—so soft it could have been mistaken for the wings of night insects. Her heart thudded. “Gillow…” He rose to his feet, the predatory focus of the Alpha settling over him. His crimson eyes glowed faintly as he scanned the faintly glowing sky. Shapes moved above the thinning clouds—dark, insect-like silhouettes against the paling blue. A half-dozen, no, more, circling. “Drones,” he said, his voice turning hard. “Not ours.” Even as he spoke, small black canisters detached from the machines and tumbled soundlessly downward. They burst before reaching the ground, releasing a fine, glittering powder that spread like drifting mist through the tree

He especially liked the soft smattering of freckles on the tops of her cheeks and the thickness of her thighs… But then the realisation settled in, sobering the Alpha. This was Chloe's blood. *Lucas, we've got visuals on the target.* Alex's voice broke in before the rage could take hold. *He's coming back your way.* Lucas didn't answer right away; he couldn't. His mind was conjuring up a scenario using the pieces of evidence they had. There was no doubt that his mate had been here but so had Rivers. Had Rivers killed the men? Perhaps Chloe had been trying to escape but why then shoot a human? Were they in on whatever Plan Omar Rivers had? Had Rivers planned to sell the girls on when he caugh
