Chapter 19: The Heart of Gate 9

The first chamber was a wide stone hall with a floor like wet slate.

Black moss grew on the walls and pulsed faintly.

The tank walked in front with his shield up, and nothing touched him.

Tae-hwan walked a step behind, his sword drawn, his coat dragging on the stones.

Seon-ho kept his eyes on the back of that coat.

"Left wall," Tae-hwan said, very quietly.

Three things peeled off the moss and dropped.

They were long, low, and many-legged, with hooked black claws, and they died before they hit the ground.

The archer's arrows took one.

Tae-hwan's blade took the others, almost without moving.

"Clear," said someone, shakily.

"Not yet," said Tae-hwan.

In the second chamber the ceiling was low and the moss was thick.

The hunters spread out in pairs.

Go walked in the middle of the group with his helmet crooked, writing on a clipboard with a hand that trembled only slightly.

"Inspector, keep your arm in," said Da-bin.

"I am keeping it in."

"You're writing."

"It is an inspection."

Something dropped from the ceiling behind him.
