The Blood Knight’s Villains - Chapter 227
My villains, episode 227
, 47. Nightmare (9)
For a moment, I thought I had fallen asleep surrounded by a feeling of floating. We were hurled out of the black passage as we had been before.
Me and Cole quickly got into position and landed on the ground, but –
“Q” Heila fell forward.
Fortunately, I didn’t fall face down, but I’m worried that my knee might be damaged because I fell quite hard.
By the way, there’s another kid with poor stats. With 15 points of agility, even if it’s not superhuman, it should be at the level of an athlete…
“Are you okay?”
Heila fell silent for a moment. It looks very sick.
While I was helping her up, Cole was scanning her surroundings with sharp eyes. It was a quiet space like a mansion in the suburbs and Tow’s Den.
“Another weird place.”
“…that’s right.”
The place we fell was a large room.
The first thing that caught my eye was six or seven chairs. A neatly designed steel chair that can seat 3 people side by side.
A turned off TV and various picture frames were hung on the walls finished in dark gray. Most of the pictures contained information about diseases of dogs and cats, and there was also a poster with a large message, ‘Have you registered your animal?’, or a picture of a middle-aged man in a white coat hugging a golden retriever on a lawn.
In a word…
“I don’t think this time it will be Middle World.”
Halo, who was being supported by me, was a little surprised at the exotic, or otherworldly, scenery around her.
“Poi is this your dream?”
” maybe.”
“Where is this?”
“…Uh, I don’t know.”
I quickly added, scratching my eyebrows at her stare.
“It’s rare for people to remember their dreams one by one.”
“You mean you don’t remember?”
“Something like that…
As I evaded my words, Heila looked up at me quietly and nodded, ‘I see.’
Cole, meanwhile, had approached the only door and was closely listening. He turned to us for a moment and whispered in a small voice.
“There is no pretending to be popular.”

patted Cole on the shoulder, and then I put my ear to him. I couldn’t hear anything as he said, so I slowly turned the doorknob.
The first thing I saw after the sound of the squeaking hinges was the logo engraved on the wall in front.
Beneath the logo symbolizing the heart of a dog and cat was written “New Animal Medical Center.” I leaned out and looked at the doorplate, and the room we had fallen into was the waiting room for guardians.
Examining the frames in the room, I had already expected, but this was a veterinary hospital.
It’s also a very familiar place that I’ve been to a few times because it’s close to my room.
The lobby of the hospital and the street visible through the front windows were empty.
It’s not a downtown area, but it’s a neighborhood with a fairly floating population, but there are no people or cars at all in broad daylight, so I feel uncomfortable.
“It’s okay with me. Nothing.”
Cole and Heila, who came to the lobby at my invitation, couldn’t hide their confusion.
“……her.”
Although the two have very calm personalities, the streets of modern Korea seen through the window must be a different world.
Medieval people who lived in the Middle World could not be surprised to see six-lane roads paved with asphalt or street trees lined up along the roadside with flashing phrases such as ‘seat belts for all seats’.
Of course, the pressure was different.
“……and.”
Heila, approaching the front window, bowed her head and let out an exclamation. It’s the first time I’ve seen her exclaim in admiration.
“What is that?”
“It’s kind of a house.”
Heila blinked as she looked up at the 19th-floor apartment.
“Who lives there?”
“…well. I am also curious.”
Leaving behind Cole and Heila, who were scrutinizing the streets, I looked inside the hospital again.
“……Hmm.”
This dream was completely different from the mansion in the suburbs.
Memories of being confined in that mansion lay dormant under my consciousness, but memories related to this veterinary hospital and the neighborhood were relatively clear.
But why did he fall into this veterinary hospital?
With that question in mind, I walked slowly.
Starting with the waiting room for guardians in the far corner, they looked through the restroom treatment room, hospitalization room, and director’s office in turn, but there was nothing special about them.
Next was the treatment room.
As I opened the heavy sliding door, I seemed to hear breathing at first glance. The sound was so small and faint that it seemed like an auditory hallucination.
Having hardened my body at once, I picked up Hrunting first. Even though I pulled it out slowly, my hand trembled a little, so the sword ringed.
The eerie sound made me pause a little, but my heart quickly calmed down when I saw the milky-white blade with faint black lines. It was so reassuring to have a mysterious sword in my hand that could slash quite a few ghosts with a single sword.
The treatment room was cramped.
‘It was a very ordinary structure with two chairs facing each other around an ivory table bent in a V shape.
I glanced around the room, but it was empty. There doesn’t seem to be any space for people to hide.
As I was about to turn around wondering if I had heard something wrong, there was an object that stood out to me. A brown kennel, commonly referred to as a ‘moving cabinet’, was placed in a corner of the clinic room.
“……2”
Having a kennel in a veterinary hospital is not unusual, but somehow it feels uncomfortable. So I cautiously approached and squatted down in front of the barred door
.
“Oh, I’m surprised.”
I almost hit my butt at the sudden sound from inside the kennel.
Looking back, in the kennel, there was a small kitten, his whiskers standing upright, hissing.
The sight of a guy half the size of my palm with his ears folded back and his teeth the size of millet of rice exposed is not threatening, but rather cute.
“……what.”
But why are the tangerine stripes so familiar? The white hair in the shape of a maple leaf between the eyebrows seems to have been seen somewhere.
While I was tilting my head, the kitten, who had been cowering in the corner of the kennel, suddenly stopped hissing.
Then, he came closer to the cage and scratched the lock with his forepaws, crying out, ‘Cow-wow’.
“Huh, do you want me to open it?”
Aeoong-
I hesitated for a moment at the sound of his earnest cry before opening the kennel door. The kitten jumped out and struggled to climb onto my leg.
“Hey, your fingernails hurt.”
I quickly detached the guy who was scratching the shin guard I got from killing the ‘living armor’ a few days ago and took it into my arms.
As if the cat couldn’t be satisfied with that, it scratched my chest and licked my chin and lips.
“It hurts, stop it.”
He smiled and stroked his soft fur, and by the feel of it, I was able to recognize his true identity.
“hey. Are you eating?”
I don’t know if you understood what I was saying.
He was crying loudly, rubbing his forehead against his uvula, biting his chin, and rubbing his tail and buttocks against his forearms… It wasn’t just a normal uproar.
Bappuri is a cat that I picked up in front of my kitchen about 7 or 8 years ago.
There was no mother and all the siblings were dead nearby, so I brought her home and took care of her, but she got caught in a trap and crossed the rainbow bridge.
They said that because they did not have tens of thousands of won, they couldn’t even properly treat her. I wonder if that memory is still quite strong, and that’s why he appeared in the Dream Mansion like this.
“How can you do it? Can I just take it like this?” meow. While enjoying the reunion with Bappuri and wandering around for a while, a strange thing happened.
“……uh?”
The small torso, which used to be half the size of my palm, began to swell. At the same time, the hand that was petting him was covered with yellow hair.
“Hey wait. This is not it.”
In an instant, my eyes went dark. It was because it reminded me of the nurse whose neck was as tall as a giraffe and Chief Heo who was as tall as a house.
“Hey, this” I restlessly hugged Bappuri.
Experience has shown that it’s best to twist his neck before he turns into some hideous monster, but
“I’ll have to say some fucking shit.”
Of course, that was impossible. In the end, I couldn’t do this or that, and I shouted outside the clinic room.
“Heyla! call!”
“Ponyx-sama?” By the time the two rushed to the doctor’s office after frantically looking around the streets, the rice pool had already grown to almost the size of a person. Almost all of his hair had fallen out, and his white skin was exposed.
“uh?”
…white skin? A cat monster with white flesh?
Wait a minute, I think I’ve been through something similar before –
“Uh uh uh?”
The hair fell out and what was revealed was a naked woman.
Dark hair that barely reached her shoulders, half-opened eyes as if she were drunk, tight nose and lips.
“…is it a bundle?”
Suddenly, the baby cheese tabby was nowhere to be found, and a bunch of assassins from the east were in my arms.
“Ahh”
he was rubbing his body against my neck, chest and forearms in a trance as if he hadn’t noticed that my appearance had changed
…
. It doesn’t go well with her youthful appearance. Uh, what should I say? Anyway, yes.
It’s embarrassing to see such a guy hugging and twisting my body without a single thread
on, but
on the other hand, I’m embarrassed. And with his back to the door, he shouted.
“Wait a minute, call!”
“Yes, what’s going on?”
“Don’t come in and search the other rooms.”
“yes? That’s…
Cole, who continued to question, opened his mouth wide.
“……Mr. Wadchi’?”
I must have found an arm wrapped around my neck, a small head sticking out over my shoulder, and my calves swaying alternately like splashing water.
“No, what kind of situation is this
?”
“Um, I see.”
By the time Cole hurriedly left and Heila entered the clinic, Mungchi had also come to her senses.
“…Uh huh huh?”
After regaining his focus, he looked at my body and me alternately, then his face turned red.
Then, flowers bloomed red from the cute ears, slender neck, concave collarbone, and shoulder engraved with small scars.
“On zenme poi.”
“…Calm down. My face will burst.”
“Ah, why is this?”
Mungchi, who showed embarrassment, surprise, and disappointment on his face, just giggled like a person who had lost the ability to speak.
Then, when I looked away, he closed his mouth and hugged me tightly. It was not a gesture to satisfy self-interest like before, but a gesture that could not bear the shame.
As a joke, ‘Hey, what are you so shy about? It’s already all behind Longville Keep…’ I wanted to say something, but I
decided to just shut up as Heila, who was leaning against the doorway of the clinic with an expressionless face, didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, in less than 10 minutes, Cole brought a bundle of clothes and equipment. When I asked where he found it, he pointed with his hand to a room to one side.
…a dog grooming salon? No, why is that?
A light linen top and bottom, a short robe that barely touches the thighs, light suede boots, hand armor with a small crossbow, a ‘cloud sword’ and a ‘blinking dagger’, etc., fully armed to the sword belt
. …..
Both cheeks and the nape of the neck were still dyed bright red. I watched him silently and stroked his hair with a smile.
“Hey, don’t be too shy. I didn’t see anything.”
“……yes.”
Even the outright lies don’t seem to be very comforting. It’s strange. Was he really this shy?
After roughly resolving the situation, I looked around the party. Everyone seemed embarrassed to have fallen into modern Korea or another world, so I put on a confident expression.
“Let’s move now.”
“Do you have any plans?”
“huh. I have a rough guess.”
As I pulled out the Hrunting and left the hospital, the other three quickly followed.
Walking on a six-lane road lined with high-rise apartments, shopping malls, shoe stores, bus stops, and avenues of trees would have been an unimaginable experience for a resident of Middle World.
Still, Mungchi and Heila Cole kept their composure. In particular, Mongchi only looked around for a while as if it were strange, but like a cat on a hunt, his tactile senses were sharpened.
After all, Moongchi is a guy from the East, another world. Although the scenery around him was amazing, it probably wasn’t enough to cause panic.
After crossing the crossing, I entered the alley and walked for about 5 minutes. The officetel building where I lived came into view.
“……Hmm.”
Looking at the convenience store across the street, it looks like it was at least five years ago. Around that time, there was a gym over there.
Pretending to be calm while being conscious of the confused party really seems to calm me down. Or maybe it’s a familiar neighborhood, so it’s comfortable.
“This way.”
“…”
He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the entrance of the officetel. It was a reluctance to enter a narrow building in a yard that entered an unfamiliar world.
“Where is this?”
“…uh. I don’t know.”
I shrugged my shoulders at Heila’s question and blurted it out.
“Should I just say that I have a feeling I have to go this way? I think it’s because it’s a dream world.”
It was a rough word, but…
What can I do?
I chose the stairs because I couldn’t take the elevator with the nervous party.
On the way up from the 2nd to the 3rd floor, the light on the landing suddenly turned on, and we arrived in front of room 506 without much trouble except for Heila spraining her ankle.
“……also.”
Room 506’s door was stained black. It was the same color that was dyeing the gate of the mansion in the suburbs.
Leaving the party behind for a while, he slowly approached the door and raised his hand.
When Death King’s scaled handcuffs touched the black metallic surface
,
the black energy scattered with a short roar. Then, as if waiting, the door to room 506 opened.
“…Oh Seung-soo.”
What appeared were two men.
One man who looked to be in his late 50s and one who looked like he was in his 40s.
The former, a man about the age of my father, smiled brightly.
“If I had known I would be there soon, I would have waited in front of the door. As I got older, my temper
only got worse.”
“I told the guards that I was Seung-soo’s father. I don’t mean it in a bad way, so I hope you don’t get offended.”
When two men appeared in a world where there was no human being and started talking about things they couldn’t understand, Mung-chul looked extremely nervous.
Fortunately, the quick-witted Cole quickly stopped him, so it doesn’t seem like he’ll do anything out of the ordinary.
I fiddled with the handle of the Hrunting and opened my mouth.
“What are you doing here?”
“Hehe, what’s the point of me coming to find Seung-soo? I’m here to find my daughter.”
“But you can’t come into someone’s house on your own.”
“We’ve only seen each other once or twice, so how do we become strangers? huh?”
You’re still a hot-tempered uncle.
As I quietly shut my mouth, this time a young man stepped out.
“I am worried because he disappeared without contact even though he is not single. Have you contacted Heewon?”
At first, I looked at the guy who was talking casually and smiled.
“Yes, I contacted you.”
“Oh really? Do you even know where it is?”
“He said he would wait in the underworld.”
The faces of the two men contorted in an instant. When the distortion was about to go beyond the range of expression, I quickly added a word.
“just joke.”
“…This ignorant bastard has something to say and something he can’t-”
“It’s in the cafe in front of you. It’s the way I’ve been talking about until now.”
The two men met their eyes. The grotesquely distorted features are getting back to normal.
I gently waved at them.
“Let’s go. I will guide you.”
“…Um, maybe.”
Heewon’s father led the way with his hands behind his back, and Heewon’s husband followed.
The moment they passed in front of me,
I swung Hrunting.
Sucker!
“Sigh.”
A startled Cole swallowed his breath and the heads of the two middle-aged men fell to the floor, spitting blood.
“…after.”
“Phoenix-sama, this is”
“It was the way it was.”
He grinned as he roughly brushed off the blood on his Hrunting. My heart was beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of my mouth, but it didn’t feel too bad.
“They were puppies to look for.”
Gu-gu-gu-gung-
The roar rang again.
This time it was several times bigger than before and continued.
At that time, a black disk rose out as if to hide my messy room.
“Let’s go.”
As I turned around, the group quickly caught up, followed by Heila and Cole, who jumped into the black disc.
