Bailonz Street 13-Chapter 158.1
Jin Nasol looked up.
Something peered around the corner of the alley, staring right at her.
A tail‑less mer-child.
It hurled something at her.
Whoosh.
The projectile glittered in the dim light.
Without hesitation, Jin Nasol reached out, grabbed the fleeing employee by the scruff and stopped the attack.
“Hicc!”
The moment glass shards struck the employee, bubble‑like shards erupted across his body, encasing head and hands in a crystalline cage.
Then, over it all, a geometric, traditional seal appeared, as if stamped in midair.
‘…The Bureau!’
[Warning. You are currently obstructing a rescue operation in a supernatural disaster.]
[Cease obstruction of official duty and surrender. Surrender. Surrender…]
The seal emitted a recorded warning.
It was mandatory whenever a civilian obstructs a Disaster Bureau operation. At the same time, it functioned as an item. Hearing that broadcast drains aggression and compels compliance.
Well, that is, for ordinary people.
‘Nuisance.’
A vein pulsed in Jin Nasol’s temple beneath the golden mask of the elite team.
Those weren’t merfolk fledglings but agent punks in disguise.
“How irritating.”
“Ugh…” 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Jin Nasol kicked the bound employee aside, then, as if by magic, donned her monocle to identify the agents.
Two agents stood beyond the corner.
‘Should I pursue them?’

slammed into the entire alley.
Everything froze.
Contextless violence.
The fleeing employees of Daydream Inc., the goat mask with his head bowed, the mer-children, the agents from the Disaster Management Bureau, and even the pony mask mid-gesture.
All of them could only move their eyeballs, looking upward.
A massive eye was watching.
No. It was language.

A sinister string of words was being spoken aloud, and the very sound became a gaze directed at humankind. Words that couldn’t be described—language from beyond, fundamentally unknowable, conceptually ungraspable—came crashing down from another dimension.
Be grateful that you can’t understand it! The moment you do, it’s irreversible!
One of Daydream Inc. Corporation’s employees, collapsed on the ground, began frothing at the mouth, convulsed, and ended up strangling themselves.

The mer-children who had been laughing suddenly collapsed.

Kang Yihak gaped up at the sky, vacant, then slammed her forehead into the ground.
A muttering voice.

It wasn’t even saying that in the first place! But when filtered through human comprehension, that’s what it sounded like. Oh, the whispers of the abyss. Deep. So deepSoalluringWemustescapeButwecannotescape??????Soalluringandsoprofane?????Wemustworshipit????
“D-Death…”
One person said so. Muttered.
“That guy said we’re all gonna die. Told us to prepare for death, uh…”
“What are you talking about?”
Jin Nasol barely managed to grab someone by the collar—not just anyone, but the rookie in the goat mask.
“That guy told us to prepare for death! Death! The cat! That monster, Kim Sol…!”
A mouth appeared above the alley.
A massive shadow of an open mouth, as if to swallow everything.
It began to speak.
