Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 80
—————————————
[Traitor Goblin]
Last time I contacted you through the crystal ball. Red Goblin said this to the great man.
‘When you arrive at the meeting point, first buy a crystal ball. If you inject magical power into the crystal ball as I told you, the organization will come looking for you.’
‘Then follow the gang members and tell them your business. We need to communicate with the Red Goblin. Then they will connect me.’
At that time, the great man asked:
‘What do you say when people ask you about me? Shall I tell you the truth?’
The Red Goblin rolled his eyes and answered:
‘They don’t ask anything. So don’t run your mouth needlessly!’
It was a simple answer, but it contained a lot of meaning.
1. Not all information is shared among organization members.
2. Red Goblin will never be able to tell the organization about Ansel (pseudonym of the great man).
Because just revealing the identity of the organization to outsiders would be a serious crime.
In other words, it was possible to cheat for the next few hours.
“Red Goblin. “You’ve probably heard of it, right?”
The old man swallowed his saliva and nodded at the soft voice coming from inside the mask.
“…….”
How can you not know?
One of the ‘priests’ to whom he had given a monster mask.
It was a famous story a few years ago that a goblin was taken to the underground prison for losing the Fire Child.
Also, he recently returned and was renamed ‘Red Goblin’.
The old man was amazed as he looked at the Auror blade that grew clearly on the great man’s sword.
‘I guess the underground prison’s laboratory is amazing. I heard that goblins are the weakest among priests…’
The old man spoke in a more cautious tone.
“I heard you were chasing the Child of Fire…”
The old man now completely believed that the Great Man was the Red Goblin.
The great man nodded heavily.
“It did.”
“But what happened here…”
At that moment, a bright blue light burst from the eyes behind the mask.
“You really don’t know? still?”
The great man looked meaningfully at the old man. Then the old man began to shake his head desperately.
Why did an executive from the organization suddenly come here? It’s like sneaking in without going through formal procedures.
At that moment, one thing crossed the old man’s mind.
“Is it… an unannounced inspection?”
“…….”
The Red Goblin looked at the old man in silence.
Just before the old man, who was anxious about the silence, spoke again, the great man, who had gathered his thoughts, opened his mouth.
“Yes.”
“As expected… I thought it was time for someone to come.”
Red Goblin nodded with a calm expression. Of course, the great person inside was delighted with the unexpected luck.
‘Things will turn out easier than you think.’
The great man spoke in a serious voice.
“Guide me everywhere. “I will check everything with my own eyes.”
***
As Daein expected, the 4th basement level of the gambling hall was one of Pandemonium’s financial centers and branches.
The old man led him into hidden rooms.
The first room was filled with gold and silver treasures.
“It’s a cash depository. “The income from gambling venues is managed thoroughly and transparently.”
The great man quickly flipped through the thick ledger the old man had brought. There were enormous numbers written that had no sense of reality.
However, Daein paid more attention to the purpose for which money was used and the path through which the funds flowed rather than money.
‘There is no place on the continent where money does not go. ‘It’s a much bigger organization than I thought.’
Why on earth did an organization this size not surface on the Gaia continent in its past life?
The great man said, keeping that question in the back of his head.
“Where next?”
The second room the old man guided me to was a treasure trove in a different sense.
From a magic sword that exudes magical energy to an armor that exudes divine power and an accessory with a hammer that can feel the power of the spirit, a seal in it.
Inside the room, various types of artifacts and refined magic stones were piled up like a mountain.
The old man said as if he was proud.
“Among the items taken as collateral at the gambling house, only high-quality items were left.”
There were numerous artifacts in the room, but Daein’s gaze had been focused on one place from before.
‘It’s a soul stone, right?’
The jewel shining red at the top of the magic stone mountain was clearly a soul stone.
There were two
of them, he thought as he looked at the watch on his left hand.
‘I could use one to feed the watch and the other to pay for transportation when I return to Earth.’
The great man decided to clearly remember the location and structure of this room.
I’ll have to stop by again later.
“Go to the next room.”
In the third room, drugged nobles were rolling around on the bed with half-naked women.
The great man frowned as he looked at the men panting like animals in heat. He asked, thinking it was a good idea not to bring the little boy.
“What about those guys?”
“Most of them are children of nobles.”
The old man continued speaking with an expression full of pride.
“We are working to make them into our puppets by taking on debt that we cannot afford at the gambling den, and then turning to drugs.”
The great man nodded, looking at the noble children who were asleep while under the influence of drugs.
“Right.”
I had no sympathy for the guys who ruined their own lives.
The old man had a proud smile on his face, as if he was happy to receive the praise.
“Now this is the last time. We will show you the works we have put a lot of effort into over the past few years.”
The old man led the way with long strides.
A huge stone wall blocked the end of the fourth floor of the underground gambling hall. From beyond, the great man smelled an extremely strong smell of flesh and blood.
“Please wait a moment.”
The old man placed his hand on the stone wall and briefly recited a spell. After a while, he said, “Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung!” And the stone wall split left and right.
“Please go inside.”
Inside was a large cavity, and a red light, like the lights of a butcher shop, illuminated the inside. And there was a terrible fishy and blood smell.
Crrrrr!
When I turned my head to the side at the sound of the animal’s cries, I saw an iron bar. In the darkness beyond, wild beasts were glaring at us.
Crrrrr!
Crrrrr!
It felt like I was in a monster museum. I saw all kinds of monsters trapped inside the iron bars.
Also, gang members were seen training monsters with iron skewers or whips.
“It’s a monster specimen. “There’s nothing special up front… Let’s go further in.”
The old man guided the great man inside.
As we went in, the number of monsters decreased. Instead, corpses divided into parts began to appear.
And at some point, young children began to appear inside the iron bars.
“Krrr….”
“Uuuu….”
“Krrrrrrr….”
All of the children were in grotesque shapes.
In some cases, monster arms or legs were transplanted onto the body, wings were attached to the back, or even the mouth was torn off and the monster’s teeth were transplanted.
“I want to see my mom…”
“Please help me…”
The great man slowly walked between the children who had been converted into chimeras.
He spoke to the old man in a cold voice.
“Where did you get all these kids?”
The old man answered with a puzzled look.
“Don’t you know better than anyone else? “We bring in war orphans or persuade poor parents to buy them.”
“…….”
At that moment, the great man grabbed the mask he was wearing as if he were going to break it.
“okay. “They were still using that method.”
“Um…”
When the Red Goblin’s mood seemed cold, the old man guessed the reason and made up an excuse.
“Everything you’ve seen so far has been a failure. “The success lies within.”
The great man answered in a cold voice.
“okay. “I look forward to it.”
After a while, the two arrived in front of the last iron bars.
Skinny boys and girls were crouching behind iron bars.
“…….”
“……..”
All of the children had restraints on their limbs and necks.
The old man smiled happily and introduced them to the great man.
“These guys are all successes. “The transplant was successful without any reaction to the body, and as you can see, on the outside, it looks no different from a normal human being.”
The old man took out a whip from his arms and continued speaking.
“But stressing them out can make them reveal their hideous nature.”
When the old man made a gesture, the gang members waiting on both sides of the iron bars opened the iron bars.
Squeak- Boom!
When the door opened, the children all jumped back in surprise.
“Ugh….”
“Again…?”
Children shivering and standing close to the wall. The old man scanned them with snake-like eyes and stopped in front of a boy.
“Zeke. “Come out here.”
“…….”
The boy’s face was colored with despair. When the boy hesitated, the old man chuckled and said.
“If you don’t like it, should I ask your younger brother to come out instead?”
“I’ll just do it.”
Zeke looked at his younger brother next to him, closed his eyes tightly, and came out of the cage.
dump.
As if he was already used to it, Zeke knelt in front of the old man. On his left and right, gang members loosened the restraints on his arms and legs.
The old man said, raising the whip above his head.
“We have guests, so let’s try to succeed this time.”
Sigh!
The whip struck Zeke’s body mercilessly. It didn’t stop with just one time. Two or three times. The body of the boy who gritted his teeth and endured it began to change.
Fuwaaaaak!
His muscles swelled as if exploding, and silver hair grew all over his body. The mouth became elongated like a dog’s snout, and sharp teeth grew inside it.
werewolf. Among them, the Silver Tribe is the strongest.
Zeke, who had transformed with those characteristics, raised his head and roared.
Kaaaaaa-!!
A loud roar shook the cavity. Zeke ran straight towards the old man.
“Tsk. “You still don’t recognize the owner.”
The grumpy old man pressed the button on the whip he was holding.
-Chijijijijijik!
Wow!
An electric shock penetrating the entire body. Zeke fell to the floor and struggled to remove the restraints around his neck.
However, the more I tried, the more the restraints tightened around my neck.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The old man looked back at the great man without taking his fingers off the button of the whip.
“The obedience training has not yet been completed, but once that and a few other issues are resolved, mass production will be possible.”
“Kwaeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucu
me their meme.
After a while, the werewolf turned back into a boy, but the old man did not let go of the button.
“It’s a punishment for not recognizing the owner. Even a guest came and you embarrassed him…”
The old man clicked his tongue and turned his head to look inside the cage. Frightened eyes were looking at him.
At that moment, a cruel smile appeared on the old man’s lips.
“okay. “I guess I’ll have to try one more.”
What his finger pointed at was Zeke’s sister lying on the floor.
“Hanna. “Come out here.”
Zeke, who was lying on the floor in pain, opened his eyes wide.
“I did it for you…!”
“Because it failed, it is invalid.”
Pow!
The old man kicked Zeke to the side. He then ordered the gang members to bring Hannah out.
Hannah came out trembling and knelt in front of the old man. The girl’s messy red hair stuck to her face.
“Unlike your brother, you should show some patience. “Wouldn’t that save my face?”
It was then.
A great man came up next to the old man and snatched his whip.
“It looks fun. “I’m going to try it too.”
“Oh yes…”
At those words, the old man nodded and stepped back.
The great man crouched down in front of the girl.
“I was wrong…”
The girl couldn’t even make eye contact with him. I fell to my knees, my small body trembling, and prayed for a mistake I did not make.
‘The little boy must have been in a place like this too.’
Daein’s initial plan was not like this.
I was planning on impersonating a Red Goblin to dig up some information about the organization and stealing a few soul stones and artifacts on the way back.
That was enough to frighten the Red Goblin.
I had no intention of having a tiring fight here.
But then
“I changed my mind.”
When the great man stretched out his hand, the girl flinched in surprise. And after a while, his eyes widened.
Tuk!
The restraint that was tightening his neck had fallen off. The girl looked up at the man with a surprised face.
“Why…”
The old man who had stepped back was surprised and walked towards him.
“If you take it off, you’ll be in trouble!”
“It’s not a problem.”
The great man stood up from his seat. When I turned around, I saw an old man standing with a puzzled face.
The great man swung his whip.
Whirling!
The old man with his neck wrapped around his eyes widened in shock.
“Oops! “What…”
At the same time, signs hidden in various places began to appear.
Each one of them is not a big deal, but if you attack them all together, it could be quite difficult.
‘Besides, the really strong guys haven’t even shown themselves yet.’
I knew it.
It’s going to be annoying and tiring.
But he had no intention of changing his mind. The great man tightened his grip on the whip.
Quad deuk!
The old man’s neck was ripped into the air.
