Episode 41 [Hong Kong Night (1)]
Inside a dark room. An old, musty smell permeated the entire room.
Cigarette smoke wafted from the fan hanging on the wall, and
it was thick.
The faintly blinking light only illuminated the large table in the center of the room.
At the table, men covered in tattoos and scars were sitting around playing mahjong.
The man who was rolling the dice quickly piled up a mountain of defeat in front of him
.
“How many days is it today?”
The faces of those playing the cards were full of boredom.
“Well, is there anyone who counts them?”
“How long on earth are we going to have to keep surveillance here that doesn’t work?”
“That will be until I get a call to bring it to the mainland. Phew,” a
man with a tattoo on his arm grumbled, exhaling cigarette smoke.
“Tsk, it looks like they’ll move it soon.”
“It’s all because of that guy who appeared on the Internet. It seems like the whole atmosphere has become strange, including in the mainland...”
Everyone frowned as they remembered the strange being that appeared on the Internet.
“Well, since someone came from the mainland, something must be concluded.”
After the last word was finished, everyone fell silent. They only focused on mahjong. Only the smoke from their cigarettes filled the room.
It was the moment when the water was at its peak.
Phew! Sigh!
A small noise was heard outside the door.
It was like opening a can of Coke.
‘Silencer sound!’
There was no way everyone knew what that sound was. It was the same sound as their guns.
The mahjong cards rolling on the floor stopped. The man holding the mahjong tile picked up the pistol lying next to him.
Everyone else picked up their guns too.
It was a moment when we winked at each other and tried to press against the wall.
Quang!
The door exploded inward.
The men were startled and shot at the bursting door.
Phew! Sigh! Sigh!
However, the bullet fired into the hallway did not go any further than the door.
Kang! Kaang! Kang!
They were all bounced off by a shield with a symbol that appeared behind the door.
Phew!
The shield that blocked the bullet flew forward and cut off a man’s arm.
Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!
And the gunshots that followed blew holes in the legs of the remaining men.
Blood spurted out and the men screamed and rolled around on the floor.
-It seems different from when you dealt with soldiers not long ago. Unlike back then, you are treating me mercilessly.
“They’re soldiers. It’s because they’ll be in trouble if they kill or get hurt for no reason. The guys here are criminals who shot me. They’re clearly enemies, so it’s right to exclude them.”
-For that matter, it looks like he didn’t kill them.
Kyung-hoon raised his sunglasses again.
“First, we have to save the trapped person and listen to their story before making a decision.”
-It seems like there will be people who die from blood loss before that...
Kyung-hoon’s shoulder. He just shrugged it off.
He pulled out the shield stuck on the wall, separated it, and put it in his backpack. He took care of everything with a pistol in the hallway, but Kyung-hoon was not one to let the atmosphere get in the way of work. He collected the gun while avoiding people rolling around
. I put it in my backpack. Then, I held the pistol in both hands again.
“Did you find it?”
-There is no visible entrance on the wall or floor.
Kyung-hoon scratched his head with the hand holding the pistol.
This room was the last place I arrived at after getting through the crowd of people blocking my way.
It was difficult to determine the exact location by tracking the location of the telecommunication company.
“Should we interrogate them one by one? “I don’t know if there will be an interrogation in this situation.”
The men lying on the floor panting were already in a state of panic.
Kyung-hoon, who was wondering whether he should use a potion to treat the patient, felt a strange discomfort in his eyes.
The movement of cigarette smoke blowing in the fan was a little strange.
Kyung-hoon tilted his head and picked up the cigarette that had fallen on the floor.
He took a big drag on his cigarette and then exhaled it across the room.
Cigarette smoke spread throughout the room.
Kyung-hoon continued to check the movements of the smoke.
Some of the smoke flowed to the floor. And it seeped under the table in the center.
“This is the drug I made.”
Kyung-hoon’s expression did not change despite her confession.
This was something I expected after seeing the appearance of the basement.
“After I became a mutant, I developed strange abilities. “I gained the power to create ecstatic feelings with ordinary drinks or medicinal herbs.”
The woman raised both her hands in front of her eyes.
“I never expected that tasting it with some people I knew from the bar I worked at would turn out like this.”
-This is absurd. They took a precious alchemist and barely managed to make drugs.
Eve showed emotion for the first time in a long time. Because it was that absurd.
But Kyung-hoon completely understood.
There was no way I could find any other use in an organization like this.
It was not possible to conduct research like the government or corporations, and anyone who could extract undetected drugs from ordinary ingredients could be considered a goose that laid golden eggs.
the woman asked, pointing to the fallen people.
“Are these people deliberately kept alive to be used for other purposes?”
Kyunghoon shrugged his shoulders.
“I didn’t know whether it was better to kill them or let them live, so I just left them there.”
At Gyeong-hoon’s words, she picked up the pistol that had fallen on the floor.
Sighed,
and put bullets into the heads of the fallen people.
Gyeong-hoon wiggled his eyebrows. Eve couldn’t even get a word out.
“It would be easier to deal with it if I killed her. There was less worry about getting caught, and it was easier for me to deal with the other person.”
No matter how I looked at him, he didn’t seem to be an ordinary bartender.
“The ingredients here are just ordinary alcohol and sugar, so you can just leave them as is.”
As she said, even if the police raided this place, it would be of no use.
“If you don’t know the reason, it’s a complete crime.
– Awakened One . The ability is difficult to understand with conventional science.
As she went out, she took care of all the fallen people with
her own hands. I don’t know if it was the anger that imprisoned her, the anger that made her make drugs, or just doing what she had to do, but she was absolutely ordinary. It was clear that it wasn’t a person.
“You didn’t ask for my
name?”
“Oh, that’s why you were on guard.”
Although he was wary of the atmosphere and indifferent killings, Kyung-hoon nodded.
“Today, someone from outside, or China, came. I thought they were coming to take me away, but they gave me a tablet and asked me what I could see.”
While showing the homepage to the man from the mainland, she secretly left a message on the bulletin board.
So only two short sentences were left, and the woman had little expectation that someone would come to her rescue.
When she finished speaking, the two people was leaving the front door of the apartment.
‘He’s a native...’
Kyung-hoon looked at the window on the second floor of the building next door. Although there was no evidence, Kyung-hoon could sense that the man who shot his arm was the same native. The apartment complex
was It was very quiet. All the windows were down, and there was no sound from the TV.
Kyung-hoon asked the woman as he walked between the apartments.
“Is there a place you can take shelter or a place you can turn to?”
The woman thought for a moment and sighed.
“It happened before, but I think it’s impossible now. Even if you kill everyone here, the organization will still remain. Rather, it will only cause harm to them.”
Hearing the woman’s words, Kyung-hoon secretly clenched his fists.
“Then, come with me first. Let’s find a place to escape together.”
The woman nodded at Kyung-hoon’s words.
As she left the complex, a car was parked on the side of the road.
It was a very sophisticated, new sedan.
Kyung-hoon opened the seat next to her and took her in.
“Please wait in the car first. I’ll come back after finishing my work.”
The woman looked surprised at Kyung-hoon’s words.
“You want me to stay here alone?”
“Oh, it’s not here, so don’t worry.”
The woman looked even more incomprehensible at Kyung-hoon’s words.
Kyung-hoon closed the car door and spoke to Eve.
“Let’s go, Eve.”
-Yes, I will tour the nearby area.
Vroom.
As soon as Eve finished speaking, the car started moving.
The woman’s pupils grew several times larger, but Kyung-hoon just waved his hand behind her.
Kyunghoon looked around the apartment.
“Are you tracking down the guy who shot my arm?”
– Tracking call location.
Kyung-hoon looked at the hole in his arm and smiled sharply.
