《The Inhabitants》Chapter 11. Use Your Head
Advertisement
Lando watched the young man in front of him carefully. The young man, Berend, then took off his shirt and showed his muscles. Lando was confused when he saw Berrend take off his clothes. They prepare to fight, not to swim. Why do you have to take off your clothes?
Berend was in front of Lando. He then unleashed a right-handed punch. Lando had never fought before, but his physical enhancement also improved his reflexes. Lando dodged a blow to the right.
"Bang!"
Lando knelt down, his stomach hurting. Berend kicked Lando's stomach with his knee. Lando realized his mistake and then got up again.
Berend again used his right hand to hit Lando. This time Lando dodged to the left. Lando countered Berend with a left-handed punch to the back of the head. Unfortunately, Lando just hit the wind. Berend dodged with a bow. Then he raised his elbow towards Lando's chin. Lando who failed to hit Berend's head couldn't control his body to move forward and finally he fell on his back. Berend's elbow hit Lando's chin hard.
Lando couldn't stay lying for long, he immediately got up to fight. This time he tried something else to fight back.
In the crowd, Anderson realizes lando fights like an amateur. From the beginning Anderson suspected Lando as a newly awakened mutant. It was very strange for someone to dare to mess around in his residence. Also, Lando is really an amateur in fighting. Anderson thought that his guess was correct. However, he still needed to do some testing. Anderson couldn't catch him before confirming Lando's abilities. In addition to confirming his conjecture, Anderson did this as well as to determine the method to imprison Lando.
Lando fell again. He had been hit and kicked many times by Berend. After all Lando was just an ordinary person whereas Berend was a trained soldier. Lando was sorely lacking in combat experience.

Berend saw Lando getting back up after falling several times. Berend started to sweat. He felt his stamina draining faster than usual. On the other hand, Lando is getting better at fighting. It was as if he could fix his mistake every time he fell.
Berend decided to make a fatal attack. Seeing Lando who just got up, Berend ran towards him. Then Berend jumped high and readied his elbows to finish Lando.
Lando caught his breath and saw Berend jump towards him. Lando didn't dodge Berend's attack and charged forward.
Berend was surprised to see Lando's actions. He felt too careless from jumping at full power. In an instant, Berend felt an excruciating pain in his crotch. When Berend turned his head, he saw Lando's upper head hit his crotch. Berend fell down with a scream of pain.
Lando was still standing breathless. He looked at Berend who was in pain while holding his crotch. Then, Lando looked at Anderson again.
Anderson ordered several people to take Berend who was in pain and then ordered two people to fight Lando. Anderson still didn't know about Lando's special abilities, so he decided to have his men give Lando more pressure.
Anderson looked at Lando once again. Ordinary people would have given up after being surrounded like this, but Lando didn't. Lando is still struggling. Anderson was more convinced that Lando was hiding something.
Two people approached Lando. They looked older than Berend. The two of them also had a bulkier body than Berend and their attack was very fast. One of the men hit Lando's cheek and sent him flying. But Lando got up again, there were bloodstains on the mask around his mouth. The two people laughed seeing Lando who was still standing in that state.
The fighting continued for almost an hour since Lando was found. Lando's stomach, legs, face, and waist had already received various punches and kicks from the two people. Half of his face mask was wet with blood. Even so, Lando still tried to stand up.

The two soldiers looked at Lando like seeing a monster. Lando was still trying to stand up despite receiving various attacks, while the two of them were getting tired.
Anderson looked at Lando curiously. 'This fellow has extraordinary mental resilience. Even though he was kicked and vomited blood, he still got back up.' Anderson sensed that something was wrong, he had sensed that Lando was stalling for time. However, Anderson didn't understand why Lando was stalling time. No reinforcements arrived, no secret weapons, and no sign of superpower. Anderson was getting more and more uneasy.
Then, from behind, there was the sound of someone vomiting. Berend who should be resting and sitting on the bed suddenly vomited. It didn't stop there, the two people who were fighting with Lando also experienced the same thing. Anderson immediately stood up and looked around. One of his men suddenly grabbed his chest and fainted. There was also someone who tried to say something but didn't make a sound, he was having shortness of breath.
Anderson then saw Lando running towards the Wardrobe. He was trying to find something from within. When Lando took it out, Anderson could see it. It's a kitchen knife. Lando gripped the kitchen knife and walked towards Anderson slowly.

Psyche Reflection
In the universe, Year 20XX, there exists people who are able to enter the cognitive realms of others and alter their perceptions and emotions, for better or worse. These people are known as "Divers" for their ability to dive into the psyche of others in a process called the "Psyche Dive". The cognitive realm is unique to each individual, hence it's also named the "Reflected World". There, one's innermost emotions and beliefs are materialised when the balance between the id (source of psychodynamic energy, represented by our desires and individuality.) and the superego (represented by our conscience and need to conform to society) is disrupted, with the id overpowering the superego more often than not.As a result, the excess psychodynamic energy on either side results in the formation of Spectres, ghost-like beings that haunt the ego (an individual's personality) and push a person to ruin by clouding his perceptions of reality, influencing his decision making in the process. If left unchecked, Spectres would continue to grow in number and power, eventually consuming the ego completely to form Demons within the person's psyche. At this point, it is extremely difficult to restore a person's id to its original state, as Demons are often extremely powerful and well-protected by their army of Spectres. People who are possessed by Demons are often twisted individuals who commit the most heinous of crimes, as they have lost all of their conscience and morals, fuelled only by their desires. The Divers are the last hope for humanity against the Spectres and Demons. Armed with the power to use their cognition to fashion into effective weapons against these abominations, the Divers seek to cleanse the minds of victims from such insidious influences. 21 year old Lee Jin Kai became a Diver abruptly on his first day as a University student, after a chance meeting with a beautiful foreign exchange student by the name of Aiko Verde. Despite having different motivations, the pair must now stick together, as they traverse the psyches of various people while gathering comrades, resolving real-world issues in the process... Inspired by Persona 5.
