Back to Erdyn, he appeared to be still sitting on the top edge of a building like before, enjoying the night view of the city in front of him. Soon Erdyn felt quite amused, he then stood up and walked away from here, putting his hands into his two black long jeans pockets because the weather is cold. Erdyn took his weapon which has now returned to the shape of a rectangular large briefcase. Erdyn took this weapon in his hand and appeared to didn't feel the slightest troublesome weight. He then rewrapped it using the black cloth folded nearby like before, to hide the unusual shape of this large weapon. After Erdyn finished rewrapping his weapon, he then slung this weapon on his back with a sling belt on this large weapon. Erdyn then walked away from here.
Arriving at the first floor of this building, Erdyn is now walking in a fairly wide parking lot from the building he just visited earlier. Appears that this parking lot only has a few parked vehicles, and is illuminated in some parts by tall lampposts. Erdyn then walked to his roadster-type motorbike which was the black pearl in color. Erdyn got on this motorbike and put on a full-face helmet. It didn't take long for Erdyn to realize something, his attention was then fixed on the surveillance camera that was on one of the lampposts nearby. Erdyn didn't appear to care much about it, he then closed his helmet visor and drove away from here by immediately riding his motorbike so fast that causing the tires of his motorbike to wheelspin and rubbed hard against the asphalt surface of the parking lot, emitting smoke and traces of friction. The sound of his motorbike engine broke the silence of the night.
The next day, the time is now 8:00 pm. The night sky looks clear without stars because of the bright atmosphere of the city. Erdyn appears wearing a bluish-red overcoat with knee-length, short sleeves, and his overcoat hood which this time he didn't put over his head. Erdyn appears to be sitting on a cafe terrace, while supporting his cheek with his right hand and watching the emblem he got from Hardy yesterday, with a bored face. On the table in front of him, there is a cup of coffee that has only been half drunk, a sugar container, and a menu book from this café that is arranged to stand. Erdyn's multi-shape weapon appears to be hidden behind a black cloth as before and leans against the wall near where Erdyn sits. Because of the large object that Erdyn brought, other cafe visitors would occasionally turn or steal glances at Erdyn. Sometime later, Erdyn then got up from his seat, took his large weapon, and slung it over on his back. This again surprised the other visitors here, because Erdyn took this large object without appearing the least bit of heaviness. Erdyn then walked away from here, the people around him appeared to notice him with surprised or confused facial expressions.
Erdyn is now walking with his overcoat hood veiled over on the top of his head, but still showing bangs on his forehead. Erdyn walked on the sidewalk in a shopping district, with a main road beside it. Cars passed by Erdyn, as well as he passed the cars parked parallel on the side of the road. The atmosphere is lively, with lots of pedestrians and also cars passing by.
What Erdyn was doing was as if he was on patrol keeping an eye on the state of the city around him. As before, appeared that Erdyn's presence was again attracting the attention of those walking past him, because of the large object he was carrying on his back. Soon Erdyn appeared to remember something, he then walked closer to the wall of a nearby building and stood here, appeared that almost all of the people who passed him would turn or steal glances at Erdyn, but Erdyn didn't pay any attention to them. Erdyn took out his smartphone and watched the smartphone screen with a hopeful expression for some reason. But his expression then became flat, because he didn't get what he was waiting for

“I thought the strange people at the factory would contact me soon…”
It turned out that Erdyn was expecting to get a call from the people he attacked yesterday in the abandoned factory, his expression turned curious. Erdyn then sighed
“Looks like tonight is going to be a boring night…”
Erdyn put his smartphone back into the inside pocket of his overcoat and then walked away from here.
Not long after, Erdyn arrived in front of an electronics shop, which immediately attract his attention and made him come to the front of this electronics shop. Now Erdyn is standing in front of an electronics store displaying various brands and sizes of the latest smart TVs behind the glass wall of the shop. Erdyn is looking at these TVs with a curious expression. It wasn't the TVs on display in the front of this shop that caught Erdyn's attention, but what was being shown on these TVs. Appear that the row of TVs that are on display here reminds Erdyn of the raid he did at the factory yesterday. Soon Erdyn also remembered what he saw on the computer screens that Hardy used to monitor, displayed what Erdyn thought was something unusual, but because he was also being watched on some of that screens, made him think maybe it was not really that unusual.
Appears that these TVs are showing a news title: "Black Star has arrived at the Pentagon, United States, to discuss further about his attack plans on several targets that he calls "Hero or Villain?". These TVs are behind the thick glass walls of this electronics store, so what this news conveys cannot be heard too clearly if he don't concentrate on paying attention to it. Erdyn appeared to remember something, he then thought to himself
“He, I saw him yesterday on one of the strange people's monitors. Black Star huh? What a strange name… suitable for a freak”
Erdyn looked a little surprised because he realized something. Erdyn thought to himself
“Wait a minute, I got into the habit of calling them strange or freaks…”
Erdyn's attention returned to the TV. Appears that if the news says that the targets that will be attacked by Black Star still get the pending approval from the Pentagon, where the Pentagon itself will not intervene in Black Star action. Black Star named the list he would attack as “Hero or Villain?” without any details. Seeing this, made Erdyn look surprised
“What do you mean Hero or Villain? He's judging or something?”
But soon, Erdyn's expression turned serious
“Why is he called a Black Star anyway…”
Somehow, Erdyn then felt a bad feeling.
These TV screens alternated showing the news headlines they conveyed: “Black Star has been heavily criticized for his recent actions” The news continued to show a skyscraper that was destroyed leaving only less than half of the building, which was said to be the fault of someone called the Black Star. Erdyn silently stood where he was.
“I don't believe in heroes, in this case, more like superheroes or anything like that, as people called them. Hero? One of them is even capable of destroying a skyscraper with one strike you call a hero? Whether people have lost their minds or something, I think it's more appropriate to call them “Monsters”. I don't know, however, I couldn't bring myself to trust these “Monsters” and the strange people I met at the factory before this made me even more certain not to trust them. Even worse, there appears to be a lot of them…”
But then Erdyn remembered again if he was also one of those being watched by Hardy and his team, along with Black Star. Because of this, Erdyn then fell silent in his place.
Erdyn looked back at these TVs, appeared that the view on the TV screen could only record the situation around the Pentagon from afar, so it is not clear what the face and appearance that comes to the Pentagon will look like unless he was called Black Star. Erdyn's expression turned astonished
“Strange people at the factory and now this? what exactly is going on?”
Erdyn's expression showed that this was starting to bother him, and he had a bad feeling about all of this. Erdyn's expression turned serious
“If so, I will become a monster for my own self…”
Not long after, Erdyn then walked away from here. Appears that the headlines news on TV now read "Hero or Villain?".
