"...Why are you looking so lazy, Sacreficer?"
A week has passed and all of a sudden 40% of the human population suddenly disappeared. Many crowded roads and shops had became completely abandoned which scared every government. But the 40% of them were actually the Real Parasite which disappeared once the Parasite King disappeared. And once majority of the Parasites disappeared...Human Hunters, like Zero, have became jobless and they are just staying at home, having nothing to do now at their shifts.
And because of that, Zero was just lying on the wooden floor of the living room and Delta asked him again, "...Were you lazy from the very beginning, Sacreficer?"
But Zero had also changed a little bit, he was now all the time wearing glasses and a thick and big coat, like he is trying to hide something which is his long and big wings.
Zero hadn't taken off his mask till now, and he just looked at Delta and said, "My job has gone...what should I even do now? How you are managing your boredom, Seven goes to school, but what about others?"
Delta smiled with a sweat, "We still meet somewhere and have some talks. Unlike you, lost your job so you won't come out of the house. We walk and still wander in the city if the danger has almost ended."
Zero sighed, stood from the floor and started walking away, "I am going to buy something... I really don't know what will fulfill my emptiness although."
Zero left and Delta was just left sweating... she realized that Zero is completely disappointed because all the Parasites have ended, although she doesn't know that it was only Zero who did it, no one knows about it except Zero and Rem, as they made their promises.
A week ago...
Rem was completely shocked by seeing the long and big black wings and his eyes had completely changed. She believed that it's The Parasite King taking over Zero's body, but Zero was still calm and looked at Rem and asked, "Will you make a 50-50 Promise?"
Rem was shocked, watching Zero and thinking that The Parasite King can even act like him.
But suddenly a Screen in golden appeared in front of her.
<50-50 Promise>
Rem couldn't believe in anyone at this moment, but she thought for a second...if it's actually Sacreficer and if the information is useful and if Parasites can be handled by him, then it's her chance...and if it's The Parasite King, no one can do anything because Alpha also couldn't handle his soul so what chance even they have. She took it as her last bet and accepted, "What do you want to tell me? I don't have other options... other than believing you. Tell me then."
Zero smiled and he said, "40% of the human population would have been erased right now..."
And Zero told whatever The Parasite King told him.
Back at present, Zero was walking all alone in the empty roads and looking down, thinking... "Was it a good choice to wipe 40% of population? I have lost my job, I am jobless...this is something really bad. And on the other hand, beat and anaconda attacks at me immediately once I am back at home, saving Seven and Del...they have forgotten my identity and thinks I am danger. What a life I have got... seriously..."
But Zero couldn't do anything, but he knows that in the anything there's something he can do. "I will now try to find my job...I can't live without a work, what's even the meaning of life then?"
Alpha finally started opening her eyes. And Kin and Rem were looking at her.
Kin wanted to jump on the bed and hug her mother but Rem kept her away for a second, came in front of Alpha and asked, "What can you remember? What did you notice last time before you fall asleep?"
Alpha was confused...but Rem looked completely serious so she thought and remembered, "I was sleeping with Kin...but suddenly I heard a loud voice--"
And suddenly Alpha started disgusted, the sound was almost killing her...she didn't want to remember that. She covered her mouth with her hand and she was looking completely stressed...she didn't want to remember that.
Rem was now sure, "I hope The Parasite King has left you then... I am believing in Sacreficer...you are Alpha and no one else."
Alpha didn't get it but Rem didn't try to explain either and she just picked up Kin on her arms and kept on the bed and Kin suddenly hugged Alpha. Kin had forgotten about Alpha and by the smell she could only remember that she's her mother. Alpha smiled and started patting on Kin's head, keeping everything aside and now she asked, "By the way, what's the time right now?"
Rem was dialing a call and she answered, "You were sleeping from a whole week, and it's afternoon going to be evening soon."
And Alpha was left frozen...she was completely shocked...
"...I was sleeping from a whole week?"
Zero reached to a store and at the reception, there was a silent man...with a mask. Zero felt like he had found someone like him and he walked to the reception. The shopkeeper didn't greet but he just bowed down.
"Um...I am not a customer actually, but...I want a job."
The receptionist raised his head with surprises and he finally said, "But I am not hiring at this moment, I don't need help and nor I can give you money--"
"I don't need money. Just recently, I lost my job and I am not searching for money, I am searching for a job to fulfill my time...I will be working for you for free, I don't need anything."
The receptionist started sweating...he wasn't hiring but suddenly a thought came in his mind.
"Maybe...he will help me to bring her closer to me...maybe..." And after thinking about, the man finally raised his hand towards Zero for a handshake and said, "I am Acid, and you?"
Zero happily made a handshake and introduced him, "I am Zero, nice to meet you sir."
