My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 32

Shadow of Seoul (2)

“Here.”

The masked man held out an envelope and a tablet.

I first turned the envelope over and took out the contents.

Three sheets of lotto paper included.

“Revenge and winning numbers. Check it out now. “Don’t say anything else later.”

“Hmm…”

The lotto information site was on on the tablet.

This probably means comparing them and checking for yourself.

I carelessly put the tablet aside and took out the last lottery ticket I had prepared.

Then, I scanned the QR code with the cannon phone I had brought with me and compared it with the three sheets of first-place paper.

“…I don’t engage in unnecessary tricks. “This is also a business of trust.”

There is nothing wrong with the QR code… Next is the amount.

2.8 billion 2.2 billion 1.5 billion.

After comparing the numbers on the site, there was a slight difference in amount, but no special problems were found.

This time, I picked up the winning papers one by one and looked at them closely.

“Maybe you were up to some other prank?”

“You can do that by looking at the other person. “I have no intention of risking my life.”

‘They’re not saying they won’t do it at all.’

I looked at them carefully, left the envelope behind, and packed only the winning slip into my subspace bracelet.

First of all, Heinz’s “Blood Magic” could not detect anything abnormal.

Even with a vampire’s sensitive sense of smell, I couldn’t detect any special medicine.

‘I’ll have to test it again later with Hans’ “black magic” far from home.’

It would be more certain if Hans, a magic expert, inspected it directly rather than Heinz.

Isn’t everything safe?

“Oh, and I’d like to find a new identity. “Can I ask you to introduce yourself?”

I continued, pushing the empty envelope and tablet back to him.

Because Han Seong-hyun could not receive all three first place prizes.

Even if Han Seong-hyun received the largest amount, 2.8 billion won, he needed someone to receive the other two on his behalf.

Even if it isn’t, once you have it, it will be helpful in some way.

“…Isn’t that what they used to do there?”

“It was like that. “Until this storm broke out.”

Human trafficking and organ trafficking.

Naturally, it was bound to be most closely related to ‘missing persons’, and laundering their unclaimed identities was also the organization’s main task.

“We have enough data, but the technicians are completely divided. “The rest of them must have been scared, so I can’t get in touch with them at all.”

Reading memories is not an omnipotent task.

The more I forced myself to think about it, the more strain it put on my brain and the more information it lost.

So, you have to prioritize the information and read it, but at the time, there was no interest in common criminals who create fake identities…

“If that’s the case. “I will let you know this much through service.”

He then held out a piece of paper with several names and contact information written on it.

I took it and stood up.

“Then let’s go.”

“I hope I can see you again next time.”

“That one too.”

We briefly said goodbye.

It was a good word from this floor that we should meet again instead of getting stabbed and dying somewhere.

When

I opened the door I came in, a young man with an ordinary look was waiting outside and showed me the way out.

It was a fairly satisfying outing.

‘Anyway, it would be convenient to have an organization. Which is better? These guys look like they could be useful, too…’

While I followed the young man guiding me out, I looked around and leisurely savored my food.

***

“Whoa—.”

The man took off his mask and wiped his face.

Then I tapped my fingers on the table and got lost in thought.

“That branch manager. “I’m talking about that guy from earlier…”

One of his subordinates who was assisting next to him during the transaction cautiously opened his mouth.

“huh. know. No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look like it belongs to the business association, does it?”

“yes. That’s right. … Wouldn’t it be better to investigate?”

‘Sanghoe’ was a derogatory term for the now-defunct human trafficking organization.

Who on earth would go so far as to lie and call themselves that organization?

“No, it’s okay. “Just get your hands off me.”

“yes? Is that okay?”

“What can’t be done? You know because you were there too. “Let’s not risk our lives for no reason.”

What was the reason for their deal in the first place?

Isn’t this for safer and more sustainable transactions by avoiding trappings and false accusations?

“But no matter how you look at it, you’re not the kind of person who would stay in the sun.”

“I was definitely out of breath when he threatened me earlier. “Even though I couldn’t even see it.”

“right? It’s because he’s a demon. “Probably a vampire.”

“Eh… was that also the case?”

The branch manager recalled that time.

Pale skin, sharp blood-red eyes, and the suffocating smell of blood.

‘Perhaps he revealed his identity on purpose. Just for warning. If you are a vampire, is it a blood oath? Maybe it’s the Buncheonhoe (翻天會) side.’

“Since that’s the case, what about whatever your real identity is? If we receive a new customer and complete the transaction successfully, that’s it. You made some profit this time, right? “I hope I become a regular.”

Because there is nothing good about touching a dangerous person for no reason.

It was the life wisdom of someone who has survived in the back alleys until now.

***

A deserted outskirt of Seoul past midnight.

Cooung—!

[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

!

A group of undead surrounded the abandoned factory and surged inside.

“Request for support? What happened?!”

“I can’t contact you! Phone, internet, everything is not working! “I was completely isolated!”

“Holy shit—! Everyone prepare for battle!”

The person in charge of this factory, commonly known as the factory manager, gritted his teeth and shouted.

Although they are now in hiding, they too have survived through hardships and hardships.

He was a superior being with power on a different level from that of inferior humans.

“Crumbling—”

The factory manager’s body swells and grows in size.

I tore off the stuffy top that was restricting my enlarged upper body and tore off the hem of my pants.

He threw away his torn shoes and took a deep breath.

A muscular body over 2 meters tall and a wolf face with sharp teeth.

It was ‘Main’, a returnee who returned from another world as a werewolf.

“Huh….”

“Giggle giggle.” “I’m going to kill you… Hehehe.”

His subordinates also did not look normal.

Just like the factory manager, there are people with the appearance of werewolves, vampires with blood-red eyes and long fangs, and people with snake scales growing out of their skin…. There are

still people with human shapes, but there are people with eyes full of eyes. Madness was no different from other beings.

Quang!

Finally, the undead who killed those who guarded the outskirts flocked to the core.

Teeth and fingernails dripping with blood.

Among them, there were people who were familiar with the factory manager.

“Hehehe… I really got caught properly.”

[Kihihihi—]

There, the pale-skinned leader of the factory’s outskirts was laughing, with dark red blood streaming from every hole in his face.

He was a strong man whose superiority and inferiority could not be determined even by himself…

‘Did they turn everyone into undead in this short moment?’

It hasn’t been long since I found out about the attack and requested assistance while I was waiting outside.

Just as the factory manager gritted his teeth and prepared for a decisive battle, the group of undead split and a figure entered.

A mask with a strange smile reflected in a black robe that seemed to be wrapped in darkness and a pressed hood.

Blue demonic fire flowing from the eye sockets and chills gushing out like fog.

It was as if an ominous being had been molded into the shape of a human being.

‘No, is it really a human?’

The factory manager trembled slightly in fear.

The instinct that became stronger after becoming a werewolf was screaming.

The being in front of you is a monster that you can never face.

[There really is nothing more to see. You are all to be slaughtered.]

Hans, the being who attacked the factory, looked around.

A large number of demons surrounded by undead. The space they are in is….

[The cries of the dead never cease from all directions. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a space full of death like this…]

It was an ordinary meat processing factory.

Except that the target is humans, not livestock.

From devices for drawing blood to devices for crushing bones.

It even had its own assortment.

“Kihi! How dare you pretend to be clean when you are also a demon! “It is necessary for us to survive!”

“Humans slaughter and eat livestock, so why can’t we? “Isn’t the law of nature the law of the fittest?!”

Some of the demons who had lost momentum shouted as if they were trying to shake off their fear somehow…

but Hans did not bother to respond to their struggling protests.

Because I didn’t feel the need to talk to crazy people who were going to die soon anyway.

‘Still, there were survivors. I guess it was to keep things fresh for themselves.’

The undead dispatched to the warehouse reported finding trapped people.

Since his health condition did not seem to be bad, he was left as is for now and instructed to guard the place.

And Hans looked at the demons who were loudly talking as if they were claiming their innocence.

[Yes, the law of the jungle is good.]

A cold voice as if the devil is whispering.

Those who were talking so loudly closed their mouths without realizing it.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

[Your bodies look very sturdy. I will become a great undead.]

I also searched my mind a bit.

It’s a law of the jungle and it’s absolutely necessary, so they won’t have any complaints.

Following Hans’ instructions, the undead rushed at them.

Sweet! Rattling!

“Aaaah! “Only a corpse!”

[Kihihihi! Kiyahaha!]

“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I’ll rip you to pieces!”

Taang— Bang! bang-!

As the demons have survived through all kinds of battlefields, they did not fall easily even against the undead.

Some people even take out guns and shoot.

Hans, who had no intention of prolonging the fight, immediately intervened.

[Kihyaaa—]

“Wow, these guys suddenly have power…!”

A black crown was placed on Hans’ head, and a pitch-black aura spread out and inhabited the undead.

Saaagh—

“Aaagh! it hurts! body! “My body!”

“I can’t see in front of me! I can’t hear anything! Am I talking about it? “Can’t everyone hear me?!”

All kinds of curse energy spread out from his light gestures and attacked the demons, neutralizing them one by one.

The demons fall one by one.

With the factory manager captured last, there were no more resistance left.

“Ugh… I can’t believe the Hahoe mask was like this…”

The factory manager muttered as he was dragged in front of Hans, being suppressed by the undead.

I knew about the existence of Hahoe Mask as rumors spread, but I never thought it would be this overwhelming.

Another problem was that this factory was quite far from the area where Hahoetal was active and was completely hidden, so the attack was unexpected.

A fact that he cannot understand, as he does not know that Hans hunts down demons and tracks those involved by reading their memories.

[Hey, don’t be too upset. I am the ruler of death, so you will find rest and be my strength forever.]

Hans said kindly and patted the factory manager’s head.

It seemed to have the opposite effect, as his tremors only got worse.

[Of course, you have to pay your bills before that, right? It will sting slightly. It doesn’t hurt that much, so don’t worry.]

The black leather glove that was stroking his head grabbed his head.

Immediately, dark magic penetrated into his head.

[Of course, I don’t know because I haven’t tried it. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…

?”

Torn screams and convulsing bodies.

The undead that were pressing down on his body were shaking.

As some time passed, the screams, which lasted as long as the werewolf’s tough life force, gradually subsided.

When the undead who had been suppressing him retreated, he stood up, bleeding all over his body.

[It’s good that they’re strong. Then who should we do next?]

The subdued demons broke into a cold sweat, avoiding Hans’ gaze.

Even if all you get is a very brief reprieve.

For quite some time after that.

Surrounded by a barrier, only screams that could not be heard outside echoed hollowly inside the factory.
