Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 163

EP.162 Military Night

As anywhere in the world, an abandoned building is a perfect place for outlaws to gather. An unmanaged building and an unacceptable person leaned on each other to fill the gap.

Even today, in an abandoned abandoned building, the predators of the urban jungle were counting the loot.

Number 2 smiled broadly when he saw the small glass bottle full of golden powder.

“Khehehe. That’s great. No. 1 did well.”

The disease was not great. It was a small glass bottle, the size of which, if you put your index finger into it, you would reach the tip before it went in.

However, valuable items tend to prove their value in a rather small size.

To the extent that a separate bottle was needed for just this amount, on the contrary, it meant that what was inside was so important.

“This is a spice. At least level 2, depending on the type of luxury item, it can go up to level 4. It’s something that a 0-level lower class person shouldn’t have and can’t have. It would be better for us to spend it on something more meaningful.”

No. 1, who actually stole the item, had a dubious look on his face.

“It’s just powder, but it’s expensive, right?”

“You really didn’t know? Why did you only take the powder?”

“just. Because I treasured it, I beat it up and stole it.”

“Eh. It’s a miracle that an idiot like you stole this intact.”

“What is this bastard?”

Ignoring No. 1’s fury, No. 2 continued.

“I know I’m from ‘Market,’ but it’s expensive. I’ll have to find out the exact value, but if I do well, I might be able to buy an automatic wagon. It’s a luxury item that disappears into the body after eating it. In the military, these things are sold at a high price.”

“Are you looking at me as an idiot? Do you want to see how stupid a bastard gets after being beaten by a stupid bastard?”

“No Mr. I’m still fighting over the past.”

“Did you just do that?”

No. 3, who had been watching No. 1 and No. 2 for a long time, suddenly spoke.

“Any risk of being pursued?”

No. 1 made a bold statement.

“doesn’t exist. In fact, I didn’t even check it halfway through.”

No. 3 spoke seriously as if he was not relieved by No. 1’s words.

“Be careful though. Its tail may have been stepped on.”

“no way. Who’s tracking down a level 0 citizen with a few hits? Even if a level 0 citizen reported it, it would not be accepted. It means that there is nothing to be caught even if you feel free to rob it.”

“So that’s what I’m saying. If it were the police, they would openly attack. If there is any back ship, I will thoroughly retaliate.”

No. 1 waved his hand to stop talking nonsense, but No. 3 did not let go. At his strict attitude, No. 1 clicked his tongue and muttered.

“That paranoid bastard is there again.”

Normally, No. 3 would have said something against him, but for some reason today he was lost in thought and didn’t reply.

“There’s no way a level 0 can get spices. There must be someone who gave it to him. Maybe there are other back boats.”

“What if you have a belly? If so, would you compare it to him?”

Number 1 giggled, and Number 3 didn’t deny that either.

The new wind that has come to this back alley is literally a storm with the power to shake the previous order. A true darkness that will drive away miscellaneous filth. A shadow cast over the military.

With his power, even those hiding under the persecution of the military might be able to breathe again.

Therefore, he could not be afraid of the backseats of only level 0 citizens.

It would be disrespectful to him.

“Even if you say back alley back boat, it’s a seungnyang. Compared to the strong man whom even generals look down upon and rumored to have escaped from Tantalus… He is nothing more than a baboon.”

Number 1 said proudly. It was as if following him had been a stroke of luck or a once-in-a-lifetime honor.

No. 3 sighed and stood up from his seat.

“…I get it. After cleaning up, I will go to the bathroom for a while and then come back.”

Number 1 shouted at Number 3, which was moving away.

“If possible, come cheap from afar! You can’t report to him that you were caught urinating in the open near the base!”

“Do I look like an idiot who can’t even quit?”

“Well, if it didn’t come out, it didn’t come out. I won’t be able to quit.”

“This baby ….”

I was in a hurry to see if it was urgent. No. 1 and No. 2 giggled and opened a lukewarm beer.

Level 1 Luxury Compressed Beer.

Since it is compressed and sold in a lukewarm state, it is not edible unless it is iced, but it is the only alcoholic beverage that the general public can obtain.

There is no choice. After they’ve seized power in the back alleys, they’ll have no choice but to quench their thirst with this terrible beer.

Number 2 muttered while pouring water into his beer glass.

“That bastard pee needs to know. Peeing level is level 0…”

“I assure you. Galen No. 3 That one will be caught for open urination before any other crimes and will be taken away.”

“Then I’d rather be happy. The military police won’t give you time to dance your pants. I can’t even say where I’m attacked by someone like that…”

Kung.

The two of them, who had been biting and biting to their heart’s content for the person who wasn’t here, shut their mouths side by side at the sound they heard from downstairs. The two held their breath for a while and listened, but nothing was heard after that sound.

Number 2 frowned and said.

“Is it you, No. 3? Isn’t it cheaper right downstairs? I told you to fight from a distance because it stinks!”

There was no answer. Number 2 got up from its seat and headed towards the edge of the abandoned building.

At the edge of a building where the walls hadn’t been built yet, if you stumbled a little, you could fall straight down the 5th floor.

“what. Is there anyone downstairs? Did the wind blow?”

No. 1 worriedly pointed out the precarious appearance of No. 2 with only his head sticking out from the tip.

“Hey Milsen. wouldn’t it be dangerous? It looks like it will fall.”

“The kid is scared. Are you worried about Galen too? What’s dangerous about this?”

“You drank beer. If you accidentally slip.”

“Looking at it, I don’t know how these scumbags got involved in the organization. If you’re an asshole who gets drunk after a glass of beer, you should just leave and search. Nagging as if she had become a mother…”

Ignoring her mother’s nagging.

I also gave sincere advice to No. 2, who didn’t know anything.

“You should listen to your mother’s nagging. It is advice that becomes blood and flesh.”

“uh?”

The moment No. 2 stupidly asked back, I condemned the unfilial. The wire hanging from the hook tightened around his neck.

Holding the other end of the wire, I murmured.

“The sin of ignoring nagging is the umbilical cord punishment.”

“Keuk!”

Shortly thereafter, his strangled body was dragged to the edge. Embarrassed, No. 1 hurriedly grabbed No. 2 by the leg.

Thanks to this, No. 2 was pulled from both sides and became strangled.

Number 1 shouted at Number 2 who was staggering.

“Who are you!”

“I am a sad and hungry human being who lost this evening. I have come to avenge my dinner that I was never born with.”

While No. 1 moved away from the stairs, I trudged up the stairs.

after success of the plan.

Since I’m an ordinary human being, I can’t fly, so it was very difficult for them to guard the stairs. I am grateful to you for letting me know.

Number 1 noticed my appearance belatedly and said.

“You child! How did you do number 3?”

“The Man with the Little Bladder is covering the walls he defiles with his body. I think his face looks dirtier than the contents of his bladder. let’s get it right catch your breath for a second “

It’s worse to settle down on the 5th floor than to commit a crime. It took a long time to come up. If you are a human who lives with your feet on the ground, please use the first floor.

“Who are you? Who sent you?”

“The world has sent it down. By the way, even these days, you beat people up endlessly, right? Aren’t you afraid of the severe judgment of the military criminal law?”

As I strode closer, No. 1 hurriedly looked at No. 2, who was choking. If he didn’t catch it, No. 2 would fall down the 5th floor without being strangled.

‘I can’t help it. If you are attacked in this state, both are over. I’d rather just let it go. One of them has to live!’

Resolutely determined, No. 1 closed his eyes tightly and let go of the hand he was holding.

Eyes wide open at the sense of betrayal, No. 2 reached out in vain, but the hand had already left. The body of No. 2 pulled up was just barely hanging over the edge, then disappeared in a flash.

I admired it.

“and. put it right I thought you would hold on a little longer.”

“You son of a bitch…! Killing Number 2!”

“no. It was you who let go.”

I don’t just kill like this. Number 2 should be downstairs struggling in the wire net I made. Feeling betrayed by you, well? can you feel

However, No. 1, who did not know that, was very excited and took out a sharp-edged knife from his pocket.

“Are you alone?”

“I’m lonely these days.”

He answered, raising his magic hat lightly. No. 1 looked at the presence with the knife tightly gripped.

‘There is only this guy. It doesn’t look that strong. If they were strong in the first place, they would have attacked from the beginning instead of attacking and defeating them one by one.’

The prediction of number 1 is correct.

I’m an ordinary criminal. He is a very normal person who is wary when there are two opponents and runs away when there are three.

So you have to do your best even when dealing with such a gossip.

‘I must have thought of an ambush when I was holding No. 2. But it’s wrong. We are already committed. No. 2 will understand.’

I don’t think so. I am quite disappointed.

Arranging his mind arbitrarily, No. 1 glared at me with burning eyes.

“I will avenge No. 2 and No. 3, you bastard!”

No. 1 raised his sword and charged straight ahead.

I don’t really want to do a head-on fight. If the other side is strong, it is a problem according to the strong side, and if it is weak, it is a problem according to the weak side. I don’t want him to stumble and fall while fighting and stab me.

so.

“Voila.”

I took out the card I had hidden.

Six of Diamonds A card with six diamonds arranged in a circle.

‘card? What would you do with that!’

On the surface, it’s an ordinary card.

But the true identity is the alchemy equipment I made with all my money. A crystal of money made by using at most two alchemy coins per card.

Convert the card to alchemy via the biometric terminal. In an instant, the card was released and revealed its true form.

Its identity is a small revolver that fits in the palm of your hand.

Number 1’s eyes widened.

‘Oh gun?!’

yes gun.

bang.

A bullet that killed the noise hit his ankle. There was a large hole in his ankle.

It didn’t penetrate due to lack of power, but the bullets fired from such close range were enough to stop an ordinary robber.

“Keuk!”

At best, it’s a gun. People don’t die right away from being shot. If he had endured the pain and stepped forward, if he had attacked me in that state, No. 1 might have been able to win.

However, more than me being a petty criminal, Number 1 was also an insignificant existence.

Unable to endure the pain, No. 1 lost balance and slid on the ground. I switched my revolver back to my card and sat on top of him with a skewer.

Having easily subdued No. 1, I spoke leisurely.

“friends. If you don’t want to promote friendship with me, let’s compromise now. With this, I can just hand over the spices and finish it off.”

“Kuh! dog sound…!”

Number 1 under me struggled without losing the slightest bit of fighting spirit.

I almost fell because of his vigorous struggle, so I had no choice but to stab my shoulder with a skewer.

“Quaaaaaagh!”

When something entered his body, No. 1 became more compliant. Instead of making a fuss more, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

“Do you know who we are? We are the ‘shadow’ of the military! Kill me and he won’t leave you alone!”

him? what else is he What kind of organization is the shadow again? Why did strange things enter the back alley where there is nothing to eat while I’m gone?

Well, that’s out of my interest.

Because that’s not what’s important now.

“It’s done. Where are the spices? I want you to return it because it is rather valuable.”

“under!”

As if he did not understand the current situation well, No. 1 was bluffing to the fullest even when he was under the ground.

“Spice? joy. it’s in my stomach Did you cut open the boat and take it out!”

It’s a lie. He hid the spices in his inside pocket.

There is also a way to just search for clothes and take them, but I asked because I was curious about the source of that groundless bravado.

“I’m not saying that kind of thing, friend. What if I split your stomach open?”

“under! Did you try it! Do you have any intention of doing that?”

I kept my mouth shut because those bold words were unexpectedly sincere.

While I was silent, No. 1 spoke triumphantly.

“Why are you scared? We were prepared to go after everything. Would you commit robbery in the military without that much determination?”

It did.

If you are caught committing robbery in the military, you will be sentenced to at least 15 years of hard labor. Depending on the number of attackers and the nature of the crime, it may result in immediate punishment.

Even now, if we wash our hands and go

to sleep, there is at least a chance of living. I’d rather live splendidly! We are ready to die and even to die for the sake of the one who will make our wishes come true!”

I understand. As a mind reader, I understood his wishes and desires.

‘I am a lower-class citizen in a country without this dream or hope. The only one who can change this fate is him! He will overthrow the kingdom and rule the underworld! Then even I, his follower, can change my life…!’

There is no dream, hope, romance, or luxury in this country where the militarized state has taken over everything. It just slowly wears away in the repetitive daily life.

The future shown by a country where everything is controlled is too firm and controlled gray. Those who have romance only wither and die.

but.

“my friend. To say that I was prepared for death is not to be taken lightly. Especially in front of me.”

No one alive has ever died, so I don’t know if it’s true or false that I prepared for death.

Even if they are sincere right away, there are many cases where they struggle ugly right before they die.

However, those who claim to be prepared to die often wield that determination like a weapon and kill others. As if he could pay for that sin with his own death.

The fact that they have the ability to repay is not proven, and they continue to create sins.

So, if there is someone who is prepared to die. At least if your belief in your determination is true.

You have no choice but to try it.

I said leisurely.

“In fact, the spice’s nickname is gold powder. Only the pistils of flowers occasionally found on the southeast coast are plucked and dried. It is the finest spice that is said to be able to buy a piece of land with a handful of powder. Since it is a luxury item to eat, even the military can sell it at a very high price.”

“haha! Too bad! Because something so great will be my shit!”

‘Somehow it seems unusual…! Okay, if you trick him or tell him even if it’s taken away! It will help his cause…!’

“But voila. The spices were here.”

In front of his eyes, I waved a bottle full of the golden glittering powder. His eyes were momentarily stained with bewilderment.

‘I had it in my pocket. How did know?’

“I am a magician. It means that you can take out the items in the box without touching them. Even though this box was your rice bowl.”

Of course I read his thoughts and pickpocketed, but I spoke as if I had really pulled him out of his stomach.

“I know that? The flower that is the raw material of this spice is a poisonous plant that can kill you if you eat it wrong. The pistil is the part with the least toxin and a unique scent, but this spice made by drying and compressing it… If you eat too much, it becomes a poison that kills people.”

‘what? poison…?’

“In fact, many more people have died to claim this spice before then. So, this spice has been compared to human life since ancient times.”

So his words that he ate all the spices had to be a lie…

not anymore.

“As you said, I have neither the determination to die nor the determination to kill. An unprepared person doesn’t deserve to have a spice as precious as human life.”

He let out a lament and grabbed his hair and lifted it up. I inserted a round card into the gap in my slightly open mouth.

Mouth that doesn’t close. While number 1 is confused. I held the spice bottle with two fingers. The doubt in No. 1’s eyes gradually turned to fear.

“Sorry for taking it out on your own. I’ll put it back.”

It’s okay. The glass bottle is strong.

If you’re lucky, you might be able to survive.
