“What is it? what’s the matter?!”
Emergency exit on the first floor of a shopping mall complex.
Noh Sang-gu, a man who hurriedly escaped from the bathroom with Kim Jun-woo, hid there with his girlfriend.
The girlfriend kept asking what was going on, but Noh Sang-gu also had no way of knowing.
earthquake?
So should I run outside?
No… Is it actually more dangerous to go outside?
Noh Sang-gu was very confused about everything.
Even as I was wondering what to do, the building shook more and more violently.
“Oh brother! “Do something!”
“What are you asking me to do?”
“So you’re going to stay here?!”
“It’s safest to be here!!”
Their voices began to get louder.
And then the wall of the emergency exit opened wide with a loud noise.
The crack spread little by little until it reached the ceiling, and it seemed as if it might collapse at any moment with the vibrations.
In that place, the man and woman were stranded, unable to do anything.
What the fuck happened?
Is it dangerous?
I’m sure I won’t die like this.
‘What a fucking misfortune…’
Noh Sang-gu gritted his teeth.
And then.
“Here! “There’s someone here!”
The emergency exit door opened and a middle-aged woman’s voice was heard.
“are you okay? “Come out quickly!”
“….”
“….”
The man and woman looked at the woman and looked dumbfounded for a moment.
The woman who came to save them was none other than the cleaning lady with whom they had argued a while ago.
“What! Why is the lady here?! “Where is 119!!”
“I don’t have time for that! “I have to leave right now, so get out quickly!”
“How can I trust you! It’s safer here…!”
It was that moment.
Kugugugugung—!
Unable to withstand the crack, the ceiling collapsed with a loud noise.
[Unique Skill: Hyperpanic Berserker]
Boom!!
At that time, the woman who had been arguing with them a moment ago jumped out and used her whole body to block the debris.
“….”
“….”
A red air current circling the whole body.
Eyes that sparkle with life.
The man and woman swallowed their saliva unconsciously at the goblin-like appearance.
“Come out now. “If you don’t want to get lost.”
“Yes, yes…”
She warned with flashing red eyes, and Noh Sang-gu answered without realizing it and got out.
They immediately began to evacuate under the guidance of the two women.
Even as he was evacuating, Noh Sang-gu looked dumbfounded.
It wasn’t because the building was shaking and the ceiling was collapsing… it was just because the woman he was arguing with was a hunter.
When we finally got out of the building, many people had already evacuated.
“A dungeon appeared?”
“Didn’t you hear the broadcast earlier?”
“Crazy… how can there be a dungeon in the building? “The operation team has been dispatched?”
“I heard there were Karma Corporation executives?”
“Officers?”
“They said there was both an operations headquarters director and a planning and support headquarters director. CEO Kim Jun-woo, too.”
“They were all here?”
“Wow… I was lucky.”
“So…”
The sound of people talking as if they were walking across the river.
Noh Sang-gu quietly listened to the story and was astonished.
That’s right… Aren’t the heads of Karma Corporation the best forces to subdue the Republic of Korea?
The fact that all those people were gathered here….
‘Then that woman is also a Karma executive…?’
Noh Sang-gu glanced at Han Yu-bin.
Who the fuck are you arguing with?
That time when I regretted it too late.
‘for a moment. That means the man who followed me to the bathroom….’
CEO Kim Jun-woo?
Noh Sang-gu, who found out their identities belatedly, chewed his lips.
They say if you get caught by Karma in the wrong way, you will never be able to be a human being…
Should I apologize now?
No, if you think about it, wasn’t he the one who started the fight first?
No matter how you look at it, I didn’t do anything wrong.
Okay, let’s not be scared and go out confidently.
I can’t just lower my head when my girlfriend is looking at me too.
While I was making this promise to myself, someone appeared.
“I’m coming out!”
A man covered in blood and flowing black air and a woman sheathing her sword with a grave expression appeared outside the building.
Similar to a demon lord and a warrior.
The shape of an overwhelming being.
“….”
Faced with that scene, Noh Sang-gu changed his mind to just apologize.
***
“Thank you.”
“Thanks to you, I survived!”
After completing the raid and leaving the building, thank yous poured in from citizens.
‘I told them to evacuate, but they were just watching.’
The situation wasn’t very pleasant, but it wasn’t anything new, so I just accepted the greeting.
At that time, I saw a familiar man’s face among the people.
For some reason, he had a very nervous expression, and he was the same man who got into an argument with Han Yu-bin a little while ago.
He seemed to have something to say to me.
When I saw him hesitantly looking very nervous, I smiled.
It seemed like they finally knew who we were.
‘Well… if you push me at this point, I’ll apologize anyway…’ Since
there are a lot of eyes watching, I guess I should use a more gentlemanly method.
As I thought about it, I immediately looked back at the cleaning lady.
Then he bowed his head politely towards her.
“Thank you for your help.”
“Oh no. I didn’t do anything…”
“No. “Thanks to the lady who risked her life to help us, everyone was safe.”
With those words, I glanced at the man.
This is a performance.
A performance that tells him what he should do now.
The CEO of Karma Corporation gave all the credit to the janitor, but can he really stay silent if he knows my identity?
“I said that earlier…”
And sure enough, the man approached me and opened his mouth.
“I am sorry. “I don’t know if it’s CEO Kim Jun-woo…”
“What do you mean by that?!”
I narrowed my eyes as the story seemed very out of focus.
“Are you saying you wouldn’t have apologized if I wasn’t the representative?”
“….”
“And I think there’s someone else I should apologize to in the first place.”
The man’s gaze wavered, lost in where it should go.
As he continued to look at him, the man eventually turned towards the cleaning lady.
“….”
Then, without saying a word, he bowed low.
I don’t know if it was my last pride or if I thought it was shameless to apologize now.
Well, where is that?
As I looked at him for a moment, the large tattoo on his arm caught my eye.
“Well, anyway, where do you belong?”
“…yes?”
“Aren’t you someone who lives in an organization? “Who is your brother?”
“That is now under Brother Deoksu….”
Deoksu.
Deoksura….
As I searched my mind, the name suddenly came to mind from beyond my memory.
‘Hong Deok-su…?’
Should I say this is also fate?
I opened my mouth with a smile.
“Your brother will be very disappointed if he finds out what happened today.”
“Do you know my brother…?”
“To some extent.”
Well, it’s because he was a person I had a relationship with before he returned.
I thought about old memories for a moment.
And soon he nodded.
okay.
I guess I’d like that guy.
“Let’s meet your brother.”
“Yes yes…?”
“Didn’t you hear? “Let’s meet Mr. Hong Deok-su now.”
“Oh, that’s…”
The man continued, scratching his head carefully.
“If you want to meet your brother, you have to wait 15 years…”
…What?
What does that mean all of a sudden….
***
A day has passed since the vacation that didn’t even feel like a vacation ended.
As soon as I returned to work, I headed straight to Ansan with Director Lee Ah-young.
Eventually, we arrived at that place.
“…Why did you come here?”
Director Lee Ah-young asked with a puzzled expression.
“Didn’t I tell you? I’m going to form a new team. “I’m here to recruit team members.”
“Then why do you come to a place like this? “This is…”
Soon, Director Lee Ah-young’s eyes turned to the large building in front of him.
“It’s a prison….”
“It’s not just a prison.”
I shrugged my shoulders and continued.
“This is a special quarantine facility for people with special abilities.”
“…I feel more anxious.”
Director Lee Ah-young opened his eyes and looked at me.
A special quarantine facility for people with special abilities.
Also known as Ansan Prison.
Crimes involving supernatural abilities have been occurring steadily since the emergence of people with supernatural abilities.
Because they can commit serious crimes much more easily and seriously than other violent crimes, the punishment for them is also very strong.
However, no matter how much you isolate criminals, they have the power to escape whenever they want.
So there are some slightly special rules here.
First, all inmates imprisoned here never see sunlight.
The second meal must be limited to one meal per day.
Lastly, only one cup of water is provided every six hours.
The reason why such an extreme rule existed was to reduce the physical strength of those with special abilities to the maximum and prevent them from using their skills.
However, despite these efforts, due to occasional riots, all prison guards are also made up of people with special abilities. These people are the only people with special abilities who belong to the government.
Anyway, there was a reason why I came here.
“Honestly, the Hunter organization created by Representative Jeong Hoon… I was a little surprised. These people are invisible to people, with little risk of being stepped on due to their point organization. However, he was sure to get the job done.”
“No way, you…”
“Yes.”
Director Lee Ah-young trailed off with an expression of uncertainty.
Instead of answering, I smiled.
“I plan to follow suit.”
“….”
Director Lee Ah-young’s expression hardened.
“We’ve been in trouble for several days because of an illegal hunter organization, and now you’re going to create more of those guys…?”
“Don’t worry too much. Because I have no intention of following along clumsily. Well, we talked about it here and there… and we even got permission from the president.”
“The President gave permission?!”
“Of course, this story is a secret outside the world.”
“of course! “I can’t handle it if you use your mouth incorrectly!”
“Anyway, I told you that I told the director here, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
I reassured her and entered the building.
Immediately a middle-aged man dressed in uniform greeted us.
“welcome. I was waiting. “This is Director Cheon Jae-yoon.”
“nice to see you. “This is Kim Jun-woo.”
“Please come this way.”
After a brief greeting, he immediately led us to his office.
“So…” As
soon as Director Cheon sat down, he got straight to the point.
“I roughly heard the story. “He’s going to form a new team with talented people with criminal records.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“May I ask why?”
“Hmm, only a very small number of our executives and the President know about this…”
I took a breath and continued.
“We are currently at war with Lions Clubs International.”
“…yes?”
“Of course, it is not a war through force… If I had to say it, I would have to say that they are using whatever means they can to devour each other.”
Director Cheon seemed like he didn’t know how to react, as if it was an unexpected story.
“Anyway, we are preparing to fight against the International Association. “There is information that some domestic figures have joined hands with the International Association.”
“Who is that…?”
“Representatively Rep. Jeong Hoon.”
“…!”
Director Cheon’s eyes widened.
Well, the news only said that he ran an illegal hunter organization, but the full story was not reported, which is surprising.
“I don’t know how many more there are. The problem is… we have no idea where or how they will try to prey on us.”
“So you’re trying to find them?”
“I also entrust you with tasks that I cannot officially do.”
I smiled and explained further.
“As they are operating in secret, we cannot investigate in the sun. However, asking normal hunters to do that kind of work is a waste of manpower, so we have no choice but to look for it here.”
“okay. Well… I’m just asking because I’m personally curious. “As long as the President’s orders have been given, we don’t have a choice anyway.”
Director Cheon took out the documents he had prepared as if he had found the answer.
“I selected exemplary prisoners. “We excluded those with violent crime convictions.”
“Hmm.”
I looked through the documents.
Excluding violent crimes, most of them were caught for trivial things.
Fraud, theft, etc.
Most of them were unremarkable, but there were a few who stood out.
I quickly selected them and handed the profiles back to the director.
“I’ll do it with the guys here.”
“…All right. “I’ll get you ready.”
Director Cheon answered as he accepted the documents, but his expression still seemed uneasy.
“Anyway… Do you plan to run the new team yourself? As you know, it won’t be easy to control them because they are talented people….” ”
Well, I was planning to take charge of it myself, but the President was very opposed to it… Well, for now, I found the right person.”
“Oh who is that?”
“Hong Deok-su.”
“…!”
When that name came out, the warden’s eyebrows twitched greatly.
“I know he’s here too… Since we’ve come all the way here, can I take a look at his face?”
“Well… I don’t think the CEO knows much… He can’t do that. He’s a ruthless guy. The staff here would be upset if it were him. I can’t believe how difficult it was to isolate him…” “
Well, wouldn’t that be enough for the guys below to not listen to what they said?”
I ignored the director’s words without paying attention.
I know better what kind of guy he is in the first place.
That’s why I chose him.
“Well, don’t worry too much.”
I smiled and continued.
“Because I will educate you well.”
