Chapter 14 – 14. You Can’t Run Away
Office worker Park Ji-hoo and high school student Kang Seon-jae.
They were steadily trying to go up to the first floor.
“Is this… A hospital?”
“Hmm.. I guess so.. The downstairs was a hotel.. The upstairs was a hospital..”
“Maybe it’s a place where time and space are mixed.”
“Huh…”
They climbed the stairs and arrived at an unknown hospital. Unlike the limited-sized hotel room floors, this was very spacious.
It’s wide, dark, and somewhat gloomy.
Just like the labyrinth called the Twisted Basement, the space was chaotically organized. Also, unlike the lowest floor where there was almost nothing, there were quite a lot of dolls walking around here.
“I had to find stairs or something to go up…”
“Mister, here you go again.”
“This. It really comes without end..”
The two continued moving forward, killing the dolls.
******
The crazy girl and I crossed the hotel and approached the stairs that the office worker and the boy went up. Then I noticed something shiny on the floor.
“Uh? “What is this?”
“What is it?”
“Here.. What is there where the doll died?”
The doll that Current Boy killed. The doll had disappeared everywhere, and a small jewel had fallen where the doll had died.
“This is…”
I picked up the light green gem that had fallen on the floor. Then a message appeared before my eyes.
[Lowest grade magicite: Used as a material or fuel for various items.]
“What is this?”
I thought I might use it later if I picked it up, so I put it in my bag.
‘If you kill the monster crawling out of the dungeon… You can get a magic stone…’
It was said to be a simple dungeon, and I was able to obtain magic stones just like in the hunter novels I had read a few times in the past. Can this be used as some kind of alternative energy?
“Did you get everything?”
“Uh, let’s go up again.”
“Yes!”
First of all, the priority is to find an office worker and a current boy. I’ll have to check the magic stone later.
‘Wow…’
As we climbed the stairs and followed their footsteps, we were able to pick up more magic stones. The magicite was lying on the ground, almost like Hansel and Gretel had left bread crumbs in the forest.
Perhaps the office worker and the current boy had no idea that when a monster was killed, its body disappears and a magic stone remains in its place.
‘Thanks to you, it’s easy to track… I also get magic stones and it’s a breeze.’
At that time, a madwoman who was snooping around the hospital room called me.
“There’s something here.”
“What?”
I went into her her hospital room her her her. She pointed to a barrel lying on the floor of the hospital room. It looks exactly like a can of painkillers prescribed at American hospitals. There were several pills in the container.
“What is this?”
I picked up the pill container. There were only five pills in the container.
[Nerve Accelerator: When chewed and swallowed, reflexes increase and moving vision increases for 5 minutes. If you take more than two pills a day, you may die from a heart attack.]
“Huh…”
The simple dungeon might be a crappy farming place. When I catch and kill a monster, I’m still not sure what to use it for, but I gave it something called a magic stone, and in addition, there seemed to be these unique items scattered throughout the dungeon.
“Can I have this?”
“Huh? Since I found it, I have to split it in half.”
“Yeah, yeah..”
“I’ll just give you two pills. Kihihi. “My brother has three eggs.”
I took out two pills and handed them over to the madwoman. She put the pill in the top pocket of the jacket she was wearing.
“Then let’s keep going.”
“Okay.”
First, I’ll have to catch and kill Electric Current Boy, then go around the makeshift dungeon and grab whatever items I can find. Since there was no time limit anyway, I had to take care of everything as frugally as possible before I left.
-Kwajik!!
-Mister, back!!
-Oh my!!
As I followed the traces, I heard the sound of an office worker and an electric current boy fighting with dolls from afar. Thanks to them fighting for us, we easily came this far without having to pick up magic stones or encounter dolls.
“Hit right in?”
“Well.. I think I’m going to take a break now..”
The madwoman immediately took out her pill, which she had kept in her front pocket, chewed it, and swallowed it.
“Keuuuuu.. Kihihihi.. Fuck… “
Her eyes turned red. She looked like a real crazy bitch because she was smiling like this.
“I’m going first…!”
Soon the madwoman struck at incredible speed. It was already fast, but after taking that medicine, it seemed to be almost 1.5 times faster.
“Uh? “You.. Kwaaa!!!”
At that moment, an ax landed on the shoulder of an office worker who turned around when he heard footsteps coming from behind him.
The madwoman barely managed to avoid the ax that struck her with the intention of splitting her head her her, but she was unable to dodge it completely and ended up hitting her her shoulder her her her her. Soon the office worker with her ax stuck in his shoulder her her fell to the ground, and the madwoman on top of him started slamming her fists into the office worker’s face her her her her.
-Pow!! Wow!!
“Kihihihi!! Die!!”
“Mister!!! “You fucking bitch!!!”
In order to save the office worker, the current boy immediately tried to hit his her temple her her her with his her hand her her her. If you leave it like this, it will use its abilities and it will be difficult to win.
Even if the madwoman is in a strengthened state after taking her strange medicine, if she is shocked by an electric current, she will faint.
“Where!!!”
I threw the pork cutlet hammer with all my might before the electric current boy hit his temple. Thanks to the madwoman’s attention, that guy didn’t properly notice that I was approaching.
-Bwak!!!
After being hit by a pork cutlet hammer, the boy’s head bled, his left eye was shattered, and he fell to the ground.
“Kwaaaaa…!!!”
I picked up the pork cutlet hammer, climbed on top of the half-conscious boy, and struck his head repeatedly. When you get the chance, you must kill it for sure.
-Bahah!!! Bye bye!!!
After hitting him so hard that his face was completely crushed so many times, his brain seemed to have been shattered and blood was dripping from the boy’s ears.
‘Ugh.. Fuck… ‘
I felt pretty bad after killing someone who probably had a bright future in such a horrible way.
[Ability robbery is activated.]
[New abilities are added.]
[Penalties apply.]
-Patter…
“Fuck.”
My hair fell out as if I didn’t care whether I was feeling depressed or not. Somehow… It feels like my forehead has become a bit wider.
‘Really the fuck.. Isn’t there anyone with the ability to grow hair..?’
It hurts so much every time I lose my hair. Still, for now, I am satisfied because I killed the boy and gained ‘bioelectricity’. To the unknown boy who died because of my greed … I prayed for his soul to rest in peace.
[Bioelectricity (A)]
[Effect: Electric current flows through the hand that hits the temple twice.]
[Handicap: You will feel dizziness and vomiting while using the ability.]
“Whoa..”
There wasn’t really a huge penalty, and I gained some pretty good abilities. It doesn’t consume anything, so I think this is the best ability in battle.
-Kwaang!!! Kwaang!! Kwaaang!!!
While I was killing the electric current boy, the Ohamma office worker and the madwoman were fighting like crazy.
“What are you guys!!! Are you a couple killer!! You bastards!!”
“Yikes..! Hey, watch your mouth! A couple! Hehe! “We’re still just partners!!”
When the ohama wielded by the office worker hit the wall, the wall was crushed and dented. You can’t do something like that just because you’re strong. It was clear that it also had some kind of ability. It seemed like a pretty good ability to kill.
“Don’t run away, come here!!!”
“Damn!! Would you do that if it were you!? Kihihihi!!! ‘
The madwoman evaded all of the office worker’s attacks by throwing her body around her, and the office worker, whose shoulder was torn by an ax thrown by the madwoman and was bleeding considerably, stumbled and gave her an opportunity, Perhaps due to her anemia.
From the first time he fell and was mounted by the madwoman and her face she was beaten, he had no chance of winning.
Anyway, as soon as there was a gap in the office worker’s movements of her, the madwoman took out an awl from her her arms and drove it into the office worker’s cheek of her.
“Kwaaaaa!!!!”
The sound of an office worker screaming. He felt as if his right cheek had been pierced by an awl and even his tongue had been pierced. An office worker who is in so much pain that he just screams and can’t do anything.
As the office worker dropped the ohama and was writhing in pain, the madwoman quickly picked up an ax that had fallen on the floor and tried to split his head apart.
If you leave it like this, you won’t be able to acquire the skills of that office worker.
Okay, at this point, I have to kill that office worker and take that madwoman’s abilities. The temporary alliance is over. Now that I have obtained bioelectricity… Nothing can stop me anymore.
‘There are about ten more survivors in this simple dungeon that we haven’t found yet. I need to increase my combat power now and even take advantage of their abilities…’
I threw the pork cutlet hammer I was holding at the office worker with all my might.
-Pow!!!
The hammer was stuck in the head of a male office worker. The office worker, who was already in a dying state and was staggering, collapsed completely. Blood poured out of his head like a fountain and he died immediately. I dealt the final blow to a person who was dying from excessive bleeding in the first place.
[Ability robbery is activated.]
[New abilities are added.]
[Penalties apply.]
-Patter…
His hair fell out again. Still, it’s still okay. It probably won’t be noticeable. Because I had a bit more hair than others… Okay, let’s check out my new abilities.
[Crushing Blow (A)]
[Effect: Generates a shock wave when swinging a blunt weapon.]
[Handicap: You must strongly believe that you are using Crushing Blow for the ability to activate.]
[Penalty: After using it 100 times, one nail will fall out.]
“Oh yeah. Fuck.”
Gained a new A-level ability. With this, I can deliver a crushing blow with an aluminum bat coated in bioelectricity. If you drink water and activate the steam engine, your physical abilities will become approximately twice as strong.
Even if that woman runs away somewhere to avoid me, she could chase after her and kill her.
“Hey, fuck.. You idiot with no morals… This isn’t right.. Why do you bother..”
At that time, the madwoman, who had lost her prey in front of her, sharpened her teeth and held up her ax, her hands shaking.
I hit my temple twice. At the same time, I felt nauseous and dizzy. Bioelectricity is activated and a handicap is applied.
-Pajijijik.. Pajijijijik!!!
‘Wow…’
This makes me more dizzy and uneasy than I thought. It is an ability that cannot be used for a long time. Somehow, they used it in short bursts… The side effects are greater than expected.
Still, she showed her weakness and was afraid that the woman might become arrogant and attack her, so she pretended like nothing was wrong.
“W-what..”
The crazy woman saw electricity flowing through my bat and she was confused. Since I am proudly using the abilities of the boy I killed, only a fool would have realized what my true abilities were.
“Come here, you crazy bitch.”
“Oh my…”
When she realized what my true power was, the madwoman realized she had no chance and she tried to escape.
“Hey, even if you run away, you will definitely be caught. One of the abilities I have is tracking ability. So just take it easy. “If you run away, I won’t kill you.”
When the catch game started, we both got tired, so I threatened them a little. Then the madwoman frowned and muttered as if she were chewing and spitting out.
“I’m crazy… I’m going to kill it anyway, it’s a dog.”
“If you run away, they will torture you and kill you.”
“This bastard… “
The madwoman eventually threw her ax to the floor. Then he relaxed his frown and brushed her face. As if she were organizing her thoughts.
“Hey… No… Brother… Please save me. “If you save me… “
In the end, the madwoman kneels down on the floor filled with the dead office worker’s blood.
She openly begged for her life.
I went down to the madwoman.
