"He said it was just to test the effects," another voice joined in, this one younger, more uncertain. "If the animals could handle it, then he'd… move on to humans."
"He's insane," the man with the scar hissed. "We all know it, but no one wants to say it out loud."
"So why the hell are we still following him?" the braided one asked. "At this rate, we'll be the next test subjects."
"Because he's not acting alone," the scarred man said grimly. "Someone's backing him. Someone bigger. That's why he's so bold."
"Where is he now?" the youngest one asked quietly as if he was afraid even saying the name would summon him.
"Last I heard, he moved to that abandoned temple near the base of Mount Guryong," the scarred man replied. "Setting up a new site. He's looking for something, whatever the hell that creepy bastard wants, he said."
