"Since you've all discovered me, I won't pretend anymore! Everyone who sees me must die!"
Brother Ni was already accustomed to this; every infiltration always got discovered for various reasons. So why not simply kill everyone who finds him? Then no one would be able to discover him.
His legs grew even stronger compared to last time before he died. For his new prosthetics, Brother Ni didn't choose the lynx claws suitable for silent stealth but opted for explosive locomotive tendons.
He burst from the corner like a cannonball, drawing the one-handed axe from his waist with his right hand, and fiercely hacked into the head of the scavenger with a crunch. Blood mixed with skull fragments oozed from the axe blade, squeezing the synthetic eye out of its socket.
The scavenger didn't even have time to pick up his hand from his pants before Brother Ni obliterated him.
The commotion was quickly noticed by others nearby; the whole scavenger hideout immediately became agitated.
