Chapter 295:

The Twilight Veil Clan collapsed along with the death of their leader.

Some reporters tried to dig into the sudden disappearance of Do Kang-jun, but they couldn’t even grasp a shred of truth.

Some said he was dead, some said he fled overseas.

The news made a fuss about him a few times, but that was all there was to his story.

There was no evidence, no witnesses, and no one knew what happened to Do Kang-jun.

But since the clan leader had left his seat completely, the Twilight Veil, which had been precarious from before, was completely ruined.

Yu-hyun smirked at the sight.

‘There are truths that are hidden from the world.’

Yu-hyun had no chance to climb the dragon’s line.

Do Kang-jun had hidden his identity, and Yu-hyun had followed him using Descartes’ power.

The power of Descartes was something that even Wi Moo-hyuk, who was called the strongest in Korea, didn’t notice.

There was no way that the reporters or the broadcasters could find out.

Originally, the association should have stepped in and figured it out, but Do Kang-jun was a person who had completely cut ties with the association, so he wasn’t officially investigated.

In the end, the disappearance of a high-ranking collector created all kinds of urban legends and vanished as if buried.

Yu-hyun had devoted himself to recovering the remaining fragments, and he was able to get a few more.

‘That’s how I got four more fragments after Do Kang-jun.’

Including Do Kang-jun’s, Yu-hyun currently had eleven fragments.

‘And I also learned that if the owner of a fragment is willing to transfer their power to someone else, it is possible to do so.’

He was able to recover the four fragments he recently got without any trouble.

He got them all with the consent of the other party.

‘Of course, it was a bit of a stretch to call it consent. It was practically coercion.’

Those who had fragments each gained their own peculiar power, and they didn’t want to let go of the power they suddenly got, but that was all.

When Yu-hyun opened his power moderately and took care of them, they all bowed their heads and handed over the fragments to Yu-hyun.

The way to subdue those who gained power was always a bigger power.

The logic of power was so clear and simple.

Yu-hyun recovered fragments from four people like that, and he also realized a new fact.

‘When the one who got a fragment loses it, they lose their memory related to the fragment.’

Only those who were directly or indirectly related to a fragment could recognize The Book of Genesis.

Contrary to what he thought that they would still remember even if they lost the power of a fragment, they lost all their memories related to it as soon as they lost the fragment.

The world itself tried to conceal the information of the fragment, so they were affected by it as soon as they lost it.

It was an unintended windfall for Yu-hyun, who was half-threatening them to keep it a secret.

That’s how Yu-hyun recovered five fragments including Do Kang-jun’s, and he was on his way to get the sixth one.

‘This guy is serious.’

Still, most of the previous ones didn’t cause any big trouble by being careful or timid even though they gained power.

They were different from ordinary people at the point where they gained power, but they were also able to consider the repercussions they could cause because of that.

But this time, the target Yu-hyun was going after was the opposite.

‘He’s like a crazy monkey running wild.’

There have been three unidentified murders near his residence recently.

There were three incidents, but more than 15 people died.

The cause of death for all the victims was being torn apart alive.

And their common point was that they were mostly minors who smoked cigarettes, spat on the street, rode scooters around and extorted money from their classmates.

The method of killing was cruel, and the targets were all school bullies.

‘Does he think he’s some kind of dark hero or something? And from what I see, he didn’t kill those who bothered him, but those who were strangers to him.’

It was too much to say that he acted out of justice.

What bothered him more was that he carefully observed his opponents and did this in places where people’s eyes didn’t reach.

And yet, he went to school as usual.

The fact that he lived a normal life even after tearing 15 people to death suited the word psychopath.

‘He was a rotten one from the start, thinking of doing such things as soon as he gained power. And the more he was like that, the less chance he had of redemption.’

Yu-hyun had seen such human nature several times in the apocalypse.

If he had to be specific, it was the kind of human nature he often saw in the first to third year of the apocalypse.

They thought their power was the best, and they justified their killing as if they were doing it for justice.

And if anyone said anything to them, they would try to kill them, claiming that they were also bad guys, like the incarnation of hypocrisy.

If a minor could do this much, he couldn’t even imagine what would happen if he left him alone.

The more twisted his values were, the more likely he would become weirder as he grew up.

‘Kim Han Jung, who had the story of Jack the Ripper, was a rookie compared to him.’

It didn’t matter who was better than whom, since they were both trash anyway, but still, it was more evil to pretend to be normal and sneak out at night to rip people apart than to admit that he was crazy.

[Wow. That’s pretty serious. How can he rip and kill people who have nothing to do with him?]

‘He would have understood if he had taken revenge on the ones who bullied him. But this is just a brat who is swayed by his misguided sense of justice, thinking that he has gained some power.’

[No way, I didn’t expect him to act like this all of a sudden after being quiet.]

‘He’s a dragon slayer. He caused incidents in three places in one night and then stayed quiet. Because of this, the perception of collectors is getting worse. Well, the public says that the scumbags deserved to die anyway.’

[I don’t feel like defending him.]

‘That’s right. The ones who died were bad guys too, but that doesn’t mean we can just let go of killing 15 people. If it stops here, maybe, but if we think about the future, he will do more.’

He started by putting in effort to track down the gangsters’ movements and killed them all in one day.

Would he be satisfied with that and go back to his normal life?

‘He’s already addicted to killing. He’s lying low now to avoid being caught, but he’ll move again when it’s quiet.’

[Then what are you going to do?]

‘What do you mean what am I going to do?’

Jeonghyeseong, who was bleeding from his nose and mouth, could not understand why he was attacked.

He could not even see Yu-hyun’s movements.

Yu-hyun had no intention of helping him understand.

He blurred out of sight and then reappeared in front of Jeonghyeseong’s nose.

Thud!

Yu-hyun kicked him in the stomach, and Jeonghyeseong rolled on the floor with a blow to his abdomen.

He coughed harshly, choking.

“Krrk. Krrk, krrk!”

“Get up. I controlled my strength.”

“My, my stomach... I can’t breathe...”

“If I kicked you properly, you would have exploded and died. Or are you pretending to be weak and looking for a chance?”

Contrary to Yu-hyun’s thoughts, Jeonghyeseong was really in pain, drooling and sniffling as he curled up.

Yu-hyun sighed and approached Jeonghyeseong, grabbing his hair and forcing his head up.

“You can’t be in pain already after just two hits. You killed 15 people, why are you acting like this?”

“Eek! I, I’m sorry! Please forgive me! I won’t do it again!”

As soon as he met Yu-hyun’s eyes, who was wearing the mask of Aporia, Jeonghyeseong lost his will and begged him.

It was a complete contrast to his attitude of trying to destroy the evidence a moment ago.

[What is this, surrendering so easily?]

‘He was a guy who had no more resolve than this from the start.’

He was crueler than anyone when he was strong and advantageous, but he lost his fighting Divine Spirit and knelt down as soon as he realized that the other party was strong.

He wouldn’t tell him to show some Divine Spirit, but wasn’t this too much?

‘Well, anyway, it’s better to get rid of this kind of guy.’

“Wait, wait a minute!”

Jeonghyeseong shouted urgently, sensing Yu-hyun’s killing intent.

“I, I’m a minor! I’m not an adult yet!”

“So?”

“Ye, yes? So you can’t put me in jail no matter what...”

“You seem to be mistaken. Do I look like a police officer who protects public authority?”

If there was a police officer wearing such a bizarre mask, his colleagues would have reported him first.

Besides, he ran at him with the intention of killing him, and then said he couldn’t win.

“And what if you’re a minor? Do you think I should spare you because of the juvenile law? That’s funny.”

Yu-hyun tightened his grip on Jeonghyeseong’s hair and pressed Aporia’s mask closer to his face.

“Listen well. You are a murderer who killed 15 people alive.”

“Those bastards deserved to die!”

“That’s not for you to decide. And you are a mass murderer for killing 15 people in one day.”

“I acted for justice!”

“A hero of justice who tries to annihilate everyone as soon as his identity is exposed? That’s almost like a logic puzzle with random pieces.”

It was a nonsensical rebuttal.

He had hoped that he would say something before he died, but this was really a psycho-path with a middle school syndrome to the bone.

“If you kill me, you will be a murderer too.”

“Do you know who I am? Where I live, what kind of person I am, what my name is? Do you even know where this place is?”

“That...”

“And, kid. I don’t justify killing someone like you do.”

“...”

At that word, Jeonghyeseong shut his mouth.

This place where they were now was a fantasy world detached from reality.

Here, even if a nuclear bomb exploded, people in reality wouldn’t even notice, let alone know if someone died.

“I, I...”

Jeonghyeseong desperately rolled his eyes and tried to say something, but Yu-hyun didn’t want to listen anymore and blew his head off.

Bang!

The body without a head collapsed weakly, and the Divine Spirits chattered that it was a waste to see the young murderer’s end.

A golden paper appeared from Jeonghyeseong’s corpse and was absorbed into Yu-hyun’s body.

He was able to get another fragment.

‘But now that I’ve shown this much, it’s time for someone to contact me.’

It wasn’t for nothing that he deliberately wandered alone and collected these fragments.

Yu-hyun showed this whole process in video to get the fragments, but also to show them to the possible Divine Spirits.

I know about the Book of Genesis. So if anyone knows anything, contact me.

It would have been impossible for an ordinary teller, but Yu-hyun had the strong support of the seer, Satan, Michael and all kinds of Divine Spirits on his back, so he could afford to be bold.

His wait paid off.

Ding.

As he left the Wonderland leaving Jeonghyeseong’s corpse behind, a letter flew into Yu-hyun’s personal message box.

The message sent through the Genesis Network was from an unknown source.

Hiding his identity meant that he was someone Yu-hyun didn’t know well yet, and sending a message to his personal message box that only Satan or Michael could use meant that he had extraordinary information power on the other side.

And, sending him a personal message at this timing meant.

‘Finally.’

He wanted to talk about the Book of Genesis.
