The boy's name was Shepherd Cain, an orphan who lived on the streets with no family at all, he was no longer able to continue his education in this city, it was also known that he was quite a cunning and intelligent child in his school. Often torturing animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs or even cats and dogs. Shepherd often dresses like a cowboy, he is aloof and his face is not widely known. He is truly a strange and anonymous person altogether.
His motives were unknown, he was also always able to escape when there were police or officers who came to arrest him, it seemed that he had been very diligent in his criminal crimes. Exactly on that night, at 11pm, he started assembling the gun to get ready, who knows what he was planning to do now.
He also installed a silencer on the gun, somehow, he muffled the sound of the M2 Browning very, very quietly. He now rushed to the places of the homeless and even some rich people, as the M2 Browning was quite heavy, so he tried to run to shorten the time.
At that time, he began to shoot at the homeless settlements there so blindly that there were no homeless people left at all, Shepherd then looted all their possessions that had been splashed with a lot of blood, but Shepherd immediately washed them to be used as the next transaction tool.
After that, he took a large bag and put his gun in the bag, he then took a .44 magnum from one of the people there. He then immediately rushed to the place where the rich people gathered, when he got there, he prepared everything very quietly, even the CCTV might not be aware of his existence.
He hid in an empty house, after everything was completely ready, he fired at the houses unmistakably, he completely destroyed every house there was, even pelting it with bombs to speed up the action. Several houses exploded, killing more than 20 people that night. Afterward, Shepherd went back to where he lived, in a suburb that no one knew about except him.
Shepherd lived in a very secluded place, he lived underground to eliminate herself. He then went to sleep that night without any feelings of guilt, not even feeling anything other than contentment, he did this without a motive, either because he was bored or something.
The next day, the news spread immediately, Siegfried and Retch then went to the scene, they were shocked to see a corpse that was completely destroyed because of the bullets that shot too much, some military were also there, they found out that this was an M2 Browning weapon, some people also theorized that who did this was a person who had been trained in killing.
Some military troops were then deployed to guard several places for 24 hours by changing shifts every 12 hours, there were about 1000 military deployed, only a few of the 300,000 military troops in Bleakstone. This was because Bleakstone City had an area of 16,890,997 square kilometers and a population of at least 70 million. The majority are muscular people, there is almost no obesity in this city, because unhealthy food is never sold.
Previously, Shepherd was the backbone of the family, his father was paralyzed, his mother suffered from mental illness, he committed crimes usually to get money or property to support the family, he was also the only child, the only one. He had the principle of "kill for treasure."
Siegfried and Retch then took up residence on top of the building, wanting to observe what happened and might happen that night. Surprisingly, the deployed military looked panicked, they really seemed to be tortured in their bodies, even though Siegfried and Retch did not see anything there, only the military.
Unexpectedly, one by one the soldiers were paralyzed by an attack that was completely invisible, very fast, and very silent. It was like a shadow that prowled around to kill, not even the blink of an eye could capture the essence of the entity, not at all.
Meanwhile, the big criminals in the city were trying to find this perpetrator to increase their activities freely without Siegfried being able to block them anymore. One of their higher-ups Bochenkov, a Russian-British man, managed to find the residence of the person they were looking for. That's right, Shepherd made his move that night.
When Shepherd returned to his place, dozens of Bochenkov's men pointed guns at Shepherd, but Shepherd was not at all afraid, in an instant the guns turned back to all of them.
"What business do you have here?" Shepherd asked with a laugh.
"We were sent to arrest you, our higher-ups want to recruit you to move more freely in this city." replied Bochenkov's messengers.
"Alright, take me to your boss."
Shepherd was then delivered to Bochenkov directly, the two of them stared at each other with the same dark energy, both criminals, but the difference was that Shepherd was much crazier than Bochenkov's cruelty which Shepherd considered an amateur.
"So Shepherd, do you want to be my member here? I'll give you money if you want, whatever it is."
Shepherd then paused, he put an ID, then he jumped off the Bochenkov building, he casually watched the Bochenkov building being destroyed by the explosion of the ID, yes, he created a bomb from an ID.
"I'll never be on the same level as you disgusting punks." Shepherd shouted at the time.
Actually, Shepherd could not be considered a child anymore, because he was already 16 years old, his thinking was far from good, more evil than evil, even worse than a betrayal itself. Shepherd had motives that no one knew about.
One of the military who saw that immediately rushed to the place, he managed to catch Shepherd easily, it didn't take long, Shepherd who was a teenage boy was immediately given the death penalty, no matter how old he was, that's how it should be.
On that day, March 5, Shepherd was executed in the evening, at exactly nine o'clock in the evening, Shepherd did not show any expression of panic at all, he even happily smiled sarcastically at the warders who were there.
At exactly 8.58pm, Shepherd was taken to the execution site, he was given a face covering, which he refused. The warden who shot him accidentally saw Shepherd's eyes, so he pointed the gun and killed himself at that moment. The other warders immediately panicked, while some became substitutes.
Inevitably, Shepherd was gagged, his hands cuffed, his feet too. As the warders tried to shoot him from all directions, Shepherd's fingers formed a gun, and he spoke. "Shoot."
As you can see next, yes, the warders shot themselves again. Since the other warders were not in the room, Shepherd exited the execution site by disguising himself as a warden and wearing the warden's face by mutilating the warden's face.
Some of the warders who had come to their senses said. "Don't move or I'll shoot you!"
Shepherd, who was already an expert in modifying the mutilation results, realistically smiled using the warden's face that he had taken, where Shepherd said very intimidating words to the warders. "Did you know? If you didn't you will now."
Shepherd then shot all the warders who were there with the gun he always carried, from here, Shepherd got the nickname "The Worst Serial Killer" because Shepherd was basically more evil than the explanation of the word evil, but the motive was not there at all.
Shepherd's words are also very intimidating, even staring at them can sometimes make someone commit suicide or kill someone else. This happened right after Shepherd left the place of execution and the prison.
Siegfried had crossed paths with Shepherd and almost killed everyone, but there was Retch who shouted to wake Siegfried up, from there, Siegfried and Retch realized that this Shepherd was not an ordinary person. It was also not Rothos manifesting or possessing the boy's body, but it was truly a demon come true.
Because of how agile and manipulative this Shepherd was, he was even able to manipulate the Bleakstone mayor's thoughts by speaking in words that were normal yet very intimidating to the mayor at the time. Shepherd said. "Is it better to change the law or die, I guess?"
From then on, Bleakstone City became more and more chaotic, completely out of control by the wardens and the military, but among the anxiety, Siegfried still said with a flat tone and a very heavy voice. "Someday, I will win, because I know someday is the time, a day without the pollution of the city's chaos. Where I will relax during that time."
At that time Siegfried made a costume of iron, his face was completely covered, Retch also made a tool to reduce Siegfried's body to at least 170cm tall, the costume was finished, it was shaped like a normal armor with additional missiles in the armor.
Siegfried also created it to be resistant to various conditions, including extreme cold, even if the temperature is absolute zero it will not have any effect on the costume, or the hottest temperature, even if millions or trillions of more than the sun also cannot eliminate this costume.
This was because Retch had prepared an extreme adaptation device in this suit, so Siegfried would not feel hot or cold in any way. But the disadvantage is that this suit is unable to move quickly, also if the center is split, then this suit will automatically self-detonate in a few seconds.
Because of this, Siegfried who was naturally agile was now much slower, this costume also had many disadvantages, such as durability that was only enough for five minutes, and so on. But Siegfried didn't complain at all.
He flew using his armor body then blew up several vital points of Shepherd's hideout, then Siegfried returned to his house because unexpectedly, the hideout absorbed a lot of energy from Siegfried's costume.
"I forgot to tell you, Siegfried. The costume can run out of power if there is a device that has magnetic power." Retch said at the time.
Siegfried now sat back in his chair, waiting for more news, while he ate some food from the kitchen to satisfy his hunger. These few days Siegfried had been doing extreme training.
Shepherd who found out about the incident immediately looked at his weaponry, fortunately, some of the weapons could be used again by restoring the weapons back to good use.
Shepherd now had control of Bleakstone, he began to control some of the buying and selling, even he could now control the high-profile criminals. The British central government's assistance also did not dare to do anything against Shepherd, because they knew very well the danger of Shepherd.
