Romans & histoires Zzz Hollow Zero

It felt like an entirely different realm. Zion stood beside me, his hand tight in mine. "We're in the in-between," he murmured, his voice taut. "Where souls get unravelled and monsters are made." The air rippled ahead of us, and then he appeared. The Hollow King. A crown of thorns rose from his skull, curling like burnt branches. His eyes were a bottomless abyss, and he looked like Jaxon. But he looked and felt wrong. And beside him was Callum bound with black chains.

He drew the briefcase on the floor up to the bar and slid it across to me. I caught it and looked at him. "What's this?" "Open it and see." Without taking my eyes off him, I opened the briefcase slightly. It was stacked with neat-looking one hundred dollar bills. I brought out one and sniffed it before putting it back. I looked up to see the man watching me closely. "Hi, my name is Zero, glad to make your acquaintance." I lifted a hand towards him in a hand shake and watched in rising amusement, the flow of emotions on his face. I knew he debated on whether to shake me or not. Coming to a conclusion, he brought out his hand and clasped mine in a firm shake.

She was so weak so fragile, weighted like feathers. Zenith turned to take her to the pack doctor when suddenly he noticed something glinting in the moonlight on the ground near the pool’s edge. An earring. He bent down, still holding Violet with one arm, and picked it up, holding it up to the light. Then he took off, sprinting down the path towards the main house, his footsteps hitting against the cobblestones. Zenith was not careful, he bumped into people in a hurry, their startled gasps lost on him as he pushed past, not stopping to fucking apologize.

Felix finally snapped out of it. Just moments ago, Donna had looked so grim, claiming something big was about to happen. Yet now, after her whole speech, it was all about the benefits of Zara being a Hollow Soul. Donna said, "Hollow Soul has a unique trait. If consumed, it can greatly boost your chances of success." "Consumed?" That one word made Felix's face darken instantly. "Success in what exactly?" Donna had tried to be vague, but there was no way Felix did not get the implication. To put it bluntly, she was talking about eating Zara's soul.

The air in the cavern was no longer thick with the scent of pine; it was choked with the acrid stench of ozone, burnt magnesium, and the cold, metallic breath of the "Slipstream" engines. The ceiling of the Hollow, once a dark cathedral of stone, was now a jagged landscape of blinding blue spotlights and the silhouettes of descending "New Geneva" strike teams.

"Buzz..." Just as Zephyr Khan's figure flashed and did not stop moving forward, a loud tearing sound was suddenly heard from the hollow. Then, a terrifying crack began to form in the hollow. At the center of these cracks, there was a decaying aura flowing. Wherever it went, it seemed as if everything could decay. “Rumble!” The tearing sound was so fast that it reached Zephyr Khan in an instant. At this time, the tearing sound had turned into a roar. Zephyr Khan was shocked to find that there were vortices in front of him.

The government’s towers were nothing but blackened skeletons of twisted steel, but the damage they had inflicted was walking toward us on two legs. They emerged from the fog in clusters: silent, rhythmic, and terrifyingly orderly. These were the "Hollows." Unlike the Unbound, who carried the chaotic, violet fire of the Elder blood in their eyes, these people were empty. Their pupils were fixed and dilated, their faces devoid of the micro-expressions that signal human thought or emotion. In clinical terms, they were suffering from a Total Cognitive Erasure. The frequency wall had not just blocked their resonance: it had performed a localized "Format" of their cerebral cortex.

He replies. For a moment, an imaginary bomb explodes in my head. I lunge forward, grabbing his collar and pushing him into the wall behind him with an inhumane speed. A hole forms in the wall around his body due to the strong impact. “ I just got everything repaired. ” Zio whines. “ You fucking knew?! ” I growl dangerously. “ I had my eyes set on her. ” Zero reveals without struggling to get out of my hold. He is the only motherfucker I know who doesn’t even flinch in my face.

“It’s not just opening.” Zara swallowed against the cold. “It’s inviting us in.” The final ward failed with a shuddering crack. The Hollow Star fully bloomed. And for one suspended breath, the world forgot the moon existed.

And then, I’ll create a plan on how will I make sure that after sabotaging this, they won’t suspect that it’s me, and Dad won’t give me an order to fix this. “Mr. Gonzalo, is the buyer. He is the owner of the Top 2 biggest chains of hotels, Luxurious chains of restaurants, and he owns more than 20 airports. He is a damn billionaire. If we fail, we’ll be paying him. He expects high quality drugs from us. His expectations are high. But I am confident, you won’t fail me right?”
