As black as ink, hunger roared to the skies.
The surging breath exploded, roaring toward the eight directions in the west.
Creeeak, creeeak.
The artificial light sources above 'Fishbone Street' were swaying from side to side as sparks of electricity flickered into existence.
In the flickering light, a gigantic monster with blood-red eyes and a gaping maw appeared and vanished before everyone's eyes in a flash.
It was merely a moment.
But everyone shuddered.
The smiling waiters' faces had frozen over.
The dancing girls' steps became stiff.
The accordionist's fingers halted in their tracks.
The children who had been running and laughing stood still, none daring to move.
Instinct was telling them—
Don't move!
If they did...
They would be eaten!
Yet fear drove them to run.
Contradictory commands issued from their brains.
Causing their bodies to exhibit a ridiculous lack of coordination.
But no one around them could laugh.
