In a warehouse in the eastern district, far from Kageno Island's western district, there was a setup consisting of a brand-new generator, communicator, and a large waterproofed computer.
The large computer had numerous cables extending from it and connecting to the neck of an expressionless girl, making it look as though it were tugging on a puppet. The sight was deeply unsettling.
The girl was Laan, the last remaining member of Abyssal Trap, and an extremely important member of the Demon Race Special Administrative Zone's destruction group.
As a small terrorist organization, the reason Abyssal Trap had repeatedly succeeded in destroying one Demon Race Special Administrative Zone after another lay in the trump card Laan held in her hands.
The people of Abyssal Trap called it—"Rose."
Abyssal Rose—this was the power Abyssal Trap relied on to destroy Demon Race Special Administrative Zones.

Laan repeated her mission without the slightest emotion.
As a member of Abyssal Trap, Laan was different from the others. She possessed almost no combat ability.
However, her brain contained neural circuits sixteen times more intricate than those of an ordinary person.
With the aid of those intricate neural circuits, Laan had information-processing abilities comparable to a Strategic Class computer. She was an extraordinarily skilled hacker.
Of course, a living human brain could not possibly process such vast amounts of information. Cellular metabolism alone would burn out the nerves in an instant. Therefore, Laan had been given a dead body animated through necromancy. She was not truly alive, but a corpse.
This was the darkness Laan bore.
Everyone in Abyssal Trap bore some degree of darkness and tragedy.
