Chapter 142 – 142. Watching a Horror Movie Three Times Is Not Scary
The third black market. The pipe tubes of the twisted alleys that I always saw and the noise of machines running vigorously were no longer familiar, so I felt nostalgic.
‘The smelly and noisy scenery has now become a place where you can feel something.’
They say that if you watch a horror movie three times, you won’t be scared anymore.
How to say.. Now that I know where ghosts appear, I should say that I have reached the stage that I have been waiting for. It can be said that it has become a gore and disgusting neighborhood rather than a scary or eerie feeling.
“June!! You came too late!! Do you know how long I waited for Juni?”
“Cheshire…!”
As soon as he entered her black market, he called her familiarly. Always Cheshire came 5 minutes after I called, but today, as soon as I pressed the button, she arrived in 1 minute and brought me in her arms.
They hid their faces, but somehow their expressions seemed to be visible. I’m sure she’s smiling brightly now.
“Sorry. I’m too busy…”
I apologized for not coming last week. I couldn’t come to see her because I was in the forest of her missing people. However, if I sent someone else, I put up with the thought that unless it was me, I might not be able to come back intact from the black market.
Even if I have Manma’s favor, there are people who threaten me like Box Man, but I didn’t know what kind of disaster a person without Manma’s favor would come in.
Anyway, when I apologized for not coming sooner, Cheshire shook her head and spoke kindly.
“Huh. Are you okay. Are you okay. I’m glad you’re alive. Come on.”
I buried her face in her chest of her chess and shared with her the joy of her time or her reunion.
“Oops.. It’s already been 10 minutes.. We don’t even have time, so let’s move quickly.”
After stroking my hair for a long time, Cheshire checked her watch, and she was startled and pulled me by the hand. The time given to me and her is only 4 hours, so we must use it efficiently. And she must be thinking of taking me to my room after she finishes her work quickly.
If I had been free or relaxed, I could have just stayed at her residence and spent time until next Friday, but I couldn’t because I was full of homework, starting with the Tremor Mansion.
She’d rather get her out of her black market. It’s not some kind of cowherd and jiknyeo, and it’s frustrating because you can’t see them when you want to see them.
“Where do you want to go?”
“Uh… Shall we go to the poacher first?”
“Huh! Let’s go!”
Unlike the last time I came to buy birth control pills, I didn’t come for the purpose of the black market per se. It should be said that I came to see Cheshire, who was just waiting for me. Of course, that doesn’t mean I can’t waste her time, so I’ll have to roam the black market with her.
For now, I plan to stop by the poacher first. The unknown eggs, alcid larvae, parasitic spores and screamweed I bought last time were the best things.
Hatchlings were born from unidentified eggs, Alcid larvae suggested a new way for disabled people who were considered useless, and parasitic spores are on the verge of giving birth to a slave race, mushroom people. After taking the screaming herb, Heesun noona became a forest keeper.
I felt like I wanted to give a thank you gift to the poacher who sold a lot of good things without missing anything.
‘I hope there will be something good this time… Something that will help the base grow…’
With such a pleasant imagination, I crossed arms with Cheshire and arrived at the gourmet street where poachers are located, aka Let’s Eat Alley.
“Ugh.. Is it lunch or western food today?”
Wasn’t it divided into light meals and desserts last time? I can’t remember exactly, but it seems that the genre of food sold in this alley changes every time I come.
‘But…Why does food culture resemble humans?’
I suddenly had a question and asked Cheshire. Cheshire knows a lot about the black market, so he must know why there are ‘lunch’ and ‘western’ places like this.
“Here Cheshire. I have a question for you.”
“Huh? Tell me, tell me If it’s Jun, I’ll tell you everything I know. I can tell you all about the baby kennels on Third Avenue and the secret shops in Central Square!”
“Ah, a nursery…?”
“Huh. It is a place where babies of endangered species are taken care of. When the entrusted child grows up, he sells it to another place and replaces it with a clone to continue taking care of it as a baby.. It’s such a place. Tell me if you’re curious I can take you there… As a rule, players are strictly forbidden to enter, but… Who knows! If Jun-i wants to go, he goes.”
What happens to those who are sold… And what crazy secrets does Cheshire know? I was so afraid, but on the other hand, I was very relieved that she was on my side.
A black market expert guide, broker, and a woman with considerable skills are my girlfriend.
“Hey, Cheshire. What I’m curious about… Isn’t about knowledge that shouldn’t be known… It’s just about the gastronomic street here…”
“Huh? Yep. So?”
“It’s not a big deal, but I wonder if the food culture of the Earth can be used here as well.”
“Ah. I was curious about that. Hehe… In fact, most of the things sold on Gourmet Street imitate human culture. Originally, the high-ranking people had no food culture, and all they did was raw food. At least by imitating humans, the culture has developed (?) To this extent.”
“Huh…”
I wonder if this is… Rather a regression of culture… Wouldn’t it have been better to just devour them neatly rather than painfully killing them? Is not it?
“And I heard that they are gourmet among themselves.. Well. To be honest, it seems a bit peculiar to me. Of course, it seems that really delicious things happen sometimes, but there are people who have a strange logic that the owner of a delicious shop will be delicious too, so it often happens that the shop owner disappears without a rumor. In such an empty store, other Yi tribes sneak in and start doing business.”
“Huh…”
The mind becomes confused. After all, it was a street where human common sense did not work at all. I wondered if she was going to eat at a place like this, but she said she mainly uses the central square. There are many restaurants that are much less brutal and less bizarre than Gourmet Street. Best of all, it’s good that canned food is universal…
It seemed to me… There were subtle differences in the recipe here and there, but they were all terrible. But… Cheshire is cute, pretty, and lovable, so it doesn’t matter what he eats. I hope you don’t eat cannibals in front of me…
And I’m not the kind of guy who heartlessly abandons his girlfriend just because she enjoys eating a little. More than anything, I feel like Cheshire would chase me to the ends of the earth… For some reason, the intensity of his arms getting stronger and stronger seems strangely obsessed with me… Of course, it’s not bad.
I am loved even by evil spirits who are far out of the category of living beings.. What kind of lovers can’t. I’m not afraid. Rather good…
“So where do you want to go, right and left?”
“Uh.. Towards lunch..”
Either way was gross and horrible, but first of all, I tried to go to the street on the right where Chinese food is sold because commoners prefer 5,000 won worth of black bean noodles rather than expensive pasta that costs more than 9,000 won for two chopsticks.
If I hadn’t heard the sound coming from the lunch alley, I would have stepped in.
-Pajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja!!!
– Aaaaa!!!! Hot!! Hot!! Hot!!! Take it out!!!
The sound of frying something in oil and the screams of the intelligent body screaming that it is hot.
-Weiyiing, puhaaaaa!!
-Kiaaaaa!!! Stop!!! Stop!!!
-Kiaaaaa!! So painful!!!
– Daddy!!! Help me!!!
The sound of the blender motor turning and the screams of children at the same time.
-Tung.! Paddeuk.. Kwajak.
-Now!! It’s not playing, you fucking bastard!!!
The sound of a chopping knife being struck on a chopping board and the screaming sound of a woman struggling to play.
‘Fuck…’
The cries of quasi-humans, which are difficult to express in words, flowed from the lunch alley. My excellent hearing… Caught all the sounds I shouldn’t have heard.
More than anything, I was so horrified and shocked that those nonsensical screams were disappearing, buried in the faint reverberation of Chinese folk songs.
If I went into the Chinese food alley, I felt as if I would see a dismantling show of unknown things or a pseudohuman being boiled alive. No matter how much my mental strength is superior to that of ordinary humans, the scene of a human being boiled and eaten alive right in front of my eyes would be a bit… Very disgusting and shocking. You might feel a bit bad.
“Should we go for the modest-looking style?”
“Okay! To be honest, I also have a strong meaty taste when it comes to Chinese food. I didn’t like it very much.”
The Chinese food alley in Cheshire didn’t seem to like it very much. We quickly entered the food alley. At least it was more peaceful than the Chinese alley. No screams were heard as someone died, and no puddles of blood were created along the way.
Above all, the number of Yi people walking around the alley was smaller than that of the Chinese alley. Listening to Cheshire’s words, it was clear that the prices here were high and expensive.
“Everything has come.”
Quickly reaching the end of the alley, Cheshire opened the door to the poacher’s hut and briskly entered.
“Oh, you really are here again. To live until three visits. Anything surprising?”
A poacher who greets you with a compliment or not. I roughly accepted his greeting.
“Uh.. It looks like my name string is quite long.”
“Thanks to you, I see Cheshire often. Hey Cheshire! You don’t even say hello!”
“Hi! Mister! By the way, I have absolutely no intention of taking over your uncle’s shop, so give up!”
“This… This guy… Ha. Done. When the time comes, you will eventually sit here too.”
“Don’t give a damn! I’m getting out of this fucking town with my boyfriend!”
Cheshire brags to the poacher and hugs my side. I smiled and put my arms around her waist. Then the poacher lowered his lips like a father whose daughter had been taken away and let out a deep sigh.
Then he sent me a mental wave that I don’t know if it was telepathic or not.
[Hey. The cultist… By any chance… If Cheshire did something that would hurt him. I will chase you to the end of hell. Keep in mind Once I’ve chosen my prey… I never miss it. Even your friend, the dragon hunter, wouldn’t dare stand in my way.]
-Gulp…
Apart from knowing that Dragonslayer Zeke and I are close… Even he can’t stop the poachers…
I was numb at the threat of a poacher who set up a shop in the black market, where I couldn’t guess what would happen. It’s like… I feel like a prey caught in a noose.
Above all, his words that he will pursue you to the end of hell… Didn’t seem to be a lie…
“Huh? What’s the matter?”
“Oh, no… Nothing…”
“Huh? He’s in a weird state… Hey!! Mister!! What have you done!!!”
“Well? Did nothing happen? Hey, relax cultist. Because according to the rules, I can’t touch you right now.”
I quickly nodded. Then he looked away from me, got up from the counter, and stood in front of the sliding door leading into the store.
“Rather than that, you promised last time, didn’t you? If you come with Cheshire next time, I’ll show you through the sliding door.”
“Uh…”
To be honest, I can’t remember if he said that. The visit was a whopping two weeks ago, and it was quite difficult to roll in the forest of missing people in the middle, so I forgot about it.
“Yeah, it seems so.”
“Good. Then I’ll show you my collection. Of course, we only show four, so don’t expect too much.”
Soon he opened the sliding door.
Suddenly, cool air flowed through the door.
“Come in. I’ll show you today’s recommended menu.”
2 iron cages and 1 cage. And the big heart of an unknown creature in a glass bottle.
I had to worry if I had enough coins.
