Chapter 89 – Blackmail (4)

Blackmail (4)

“… Blind-! Manager-!”

A shout echoed through the basement floor, which had been soaked in silence for a while.

Footsteps, thumping very urgently, were approaching the copying room at high speed.

“And, the director—! It’s the same camper with the same symptoms!”

It was Park Woo-jin among the two people I saw again after a long time.

Park Woo-jin, who shouted at me with her sweaty face, laid the female Camp One on her back on the bed in the hospital room that was left behind.

“Kreuk-keurreuk-!”

As soon as she lays down on the bed in the hospital room, the female camp attendant twists her body nonstop, and bubbles are already forming in her mouth.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha-“

I ran late and looked at Cha Ha-yan, who was gasping for breath, then turned my gaze back to the bed in the hospital room.

“Rurrrr!”

A frowning face and bubbling bubbles at the mouth that could be glimpsed in agony and pain just by looking at it.

“Catch.”

As he approached the female camp member, Park Woo-jin hurriedly pressed down on the female camp member who was twisting her body.

“Kreukreuk-! Gurrureuk-!”

A hand gesture that restrains the twisting gesture desperately to shake off the pain that persists in the body.

Thanks to that, Park Woo-jin, who had been pushing down the female Camp One, who was having more violent seizures, clenched her teeth and pressed her arm down more strongly.

Chin-!

A hand holding tightly to the only free head.

Whip-whip-the female camp member’s pupils, which were restrained even as she stirred her head, lifted up to the point where only the whites could be seen.

Ugh-!

A golden glow began to seep into her hair.

The royal power that dyed the photocopying room yellow quickly spread from her head to her entire body.

“… Kkeuk-.”

Seizures of a female camp member that gradually decrease as she fully embraces the golden light.

The pulsating tendons in Park Woo-jin’s arm, which was holding the female camp one in place, were slowly fading.

“… New liquid- new liquid-.”

Soon, the face of the female camp member calmly subsided and her breathing stabilized.

Tring-!

[Kingdom: 302]

Unlike a moment ago, I took a step back, confirming that there was no change in the kingship.

“…”

A female camp member who has regained stability due to my partial incompetence.

It was the moment when it became clear that the reason for the collapse of the camp members was someone’s superpower and that the superpower attacked my camp.

“Gather all the campers on the 5th floor right now.”

Instructions to Park Woo-jin, who was quietly looking at my face.

“And tell the search team to bring all camp members showing signs of seizures to the first basement floor.”
“… Yes, I understand-!”

I checked the back of Park Woo-jin, who rushed out of her copying room at my instruction, and then looked at the condition of the female camp one lying on the bed in her hospital room.

“… Me, brother-in-law.”

At that moment, a soft voice tapped on my ear very carefully.

Ha-yan Cha, who was still in the photocopying room, hurriedly continued the next words as I looked at him.

“I’m not 100% sure—but I think I should tell my brother-in-law.”

After looking at the female camp members lying on the bed in the hospital room for a while, Cha Ha-yan stared into my eyes again.

“I think I saw the same symptoms as those two at agricultural college.”

… Agricultural College?

My eyes narrowed at the name that came out of nowhere.

“That’s why my brother-in-law… Uh-dee, when he came to pick me up, an agricultural major named Jae-ha was just like them.”

Seizure symptoms and foam at the mouth.

“Don’t you remember? That, the male student on the stretcher that day.”

Certainly- he recalled the front gate of the College of Agriculture, which had already been busy before he retrieved Cha Ha-yan.

The camp members and Cha Ha-yan, who were in a panic as if they were in a panic.

And a man on a stretcher.

“… I heard that the male student also collapsed very suddenly just like them. Very suddenly in the negotiations with the engineering college.”
“… Engineering?”
“Yes. People from the College of Agriculture said it was a place where two very poor people with special abilities treated the survivors like slaves.”

Took-! Took-!

The iron pipe that suddenly jumped out of my hand made Cha Ha-in startle and her body trembled.

However, with the temperament of casually tapping his thighs, Cha Ha-in slowly continued his next words.

“Ah, they said that they were very bad people and that the farmers had to take action—and I heard that it was almost over, and that it was actually a declaration of surrender, not negotiations. After that, I’m fine…”

College of Agriculture and Engineering.

An Agricultural Sciences camp worker who collapsed in the same way as now at the negotiating table.

An incident that occurred at the place of receiving a de facto declaration of surrender rather than negotiation.

Took-! Took-!

They were fragmentary pieces that could not be concluded too hastily.

Still-

“Two talented people from the engineering department on the north side of the university.”
“Yes, what are the names— Lee, Yujin Lee and Jang—? Now, Jang Deok-gu? Uh—that was a similar name.”

First of all, the first question I had was why did they attack my library while leaving the College of Agriculture, which must have been close and resentful.

And there were two biggest possibilities to answer that first question.

“… The range of this ability is so wide that the problem at such a distance is trivial—”

… Or the person with the ability to cast the ability came close.

“… Closely.”

Closely.

I kept rolling the second possibility in my mouth, which was rather clearly in the way.

A student at the College of Agriculture who collapsed at the negotiating table virtually declaring surrender.

This was a declaration of war by talented engineering students.

A sense of justice or compassion or whatever—

A clear attack that there is no way that the agricultural department will never stay still to take action against the engineering college.

Then, the engineering department, which should be solving the problems of the agricultural department for a while now, suddenly attacks the library?

It is a development direction that does not make sense in common sense.

Or is the College of Engineering preying on the College of Agriculture in a very short period of time and extending its grip to the library?

Then, before going to the negotiating table, the engineering department must have been beating the agricultural department a long time ago.

Took-! Took-!

I picked out the circumstantial truths that remain in me now, excluding some leapfrog assumptions.

Agriculture and engineering collided with each other.

The Agricultural Science Campus, who had the upper hand enough to call the Engineering College to the negotiating table, had collapsed in a very serious condition.

Even so, the power that seemed to be the work of the engineering students suddenly attacked my library.

The direction of the attack turned to me, not to the agricultural college.

In other words, attacking me is now a priority for them rather than farming.

“… Either they moved their base to a nearby library or ran away.”

Or both.

Took-! Took-!

Since the base was moved so suddenly, everything must be unfamiliar and lacking.

In the meantime, you would have found my camp monopolizing all supplies from the South—

In that situation, there was only one action for the person with this ability.

The use of one’s powers to deprive others of their possessions.

“… There are beggars who don’t even know the subject.”
“Shall we call the strike team right now, chief?”
“No.”

I shook my head at Koh Jang-hun’s question and looked at the bed in the hospital room.

A female camp member who recovered stable breathing and another camp member who stopped breathing.

Using my partial incompetence, I can surely prevent further casualties from increasing.

However, even if the defense succeeds, there is no certainty that their attack will stop as it is.

I had no intention of letting them continue attacking my camp in the first place.

If this continues, the capacity of my camp, which should be focused on occupying the South, will be consumed in other unnecessary places.

“From now on, all camp members showing symptoms of seizures will be moved to the first basement floor and then injected with royal authority.”

I was aware that I was being affected by this ability, but I couldn’t hastily conclude what kind of ability it was.

In a world full of all sorts of outlandish abilities, there is nothing more foolish and idiot-like to waste one’s energy than specifying one ability.

“After that, all camp members who showed symptoms of seizures are quarantined on the first basement floor.”

I stared into Goh Jang-hoon’s eyes and ordered the next command.

“Take measures so that no one can check the first basement floor.”
“Yes, I understand, Chief.”
“And for the time being, all campers are banned from outdoor activities. Whether it’s the search team or the strike team, tell them not to leave the library.”

There will be two typical reactions of those who are suddenly surprised.

Startled and shrunk to the limit, or become very thunder-naked and run amok in all directions in search of an ambush.

“Very naturally flustered, fidgety, prickly like a hedgehog.”

I don’t have any intention of scouring universities like an idiot without knowing what kind of abilities they have.

There was no need for that in the first place.

“…”

Again, I quietly gazed at the first camper I had lost.

Camp members who do not induce seizures all at once, but one by one, one by one.

You can think of it as a limit to the ability of an engineering major, but the time difference between the camp members who are affected by the ability is too close for that.

Whether it’s a plan to reduce the number of people, or a surprise attack with some kind of disingenuous idea–

They were knocking on me very lightly, as if they were trying to guess my reaction.

“From today we are closing the library itself.”

Then, just like the thieves who knock on the door-

Sooner or later they will find themselves-

“… I will open the door and crawl in.”

***

The sun was shining brightly, intent on burning the skin.

Lee Yu-jin looked up at the blue sky, avoiding the sun, albeit lightly, with the shade of her hand.

The gaze that was looking at the sky so blankly lowered its head and came down together.

Lee Yu-jin smiled as she swung the view of the library, which was greatly contained in her slightly lowered gaze.

“… It is beautifully decorated.”

A building exterior that looks in very good condition and a barricade using well-connected vehicles.

Lee Yu-jin smiled even deeper as she glanced at the library and teacher’s college, which were connected by car barricades, and the student center a little far away from here.

Starting with the student union building, the College of Education and the library, so almost the entire south side of the university—

“You mean the manager or someone who does something…”

A very well-prepared whipped cream cake that doesn’t have to be done multiple times.

No, her jackpot, her own situation, which she couldn’t even think of, was quietly waiting for her.

Took-!

A gesture of tapping on the shoulder of Lee Yoo-jin, who smiled brightly.

“Why-?!”

Lee Yoo-jin nervously brushed off the part where her skin was touching and glared at her Jang Deok-gu.

Deok-gu Jang chined over the window as if nothing happened, despite the gaze full of life.

“Does the manager or something look like that bastard?”

Took-! Took-!

The library lobby beyond the glass windows with all blackout curtains turned back.

There, a man with an iron pipe kept hitting his thighs was watching them quietly.

“I guess so. You’ve been yelling at me from the front as if you wanted to know more.”

Lee Yoo-jin made eye contact with the man casually and smiled even more.

“Then why do you just stand there like an idiot?”
“About a day or three when my subordinates collapse without knowing why, it’s the right amount of time for all sorts of fucking thoughts. We suddenly appeared when we were scratching at peppers like that.”

So, what will that bastard think when he sees us?

You’d think we were the cause of this fucking situation right now.

“Since we are the cause, we are the ones who can solve it. We have the antidote that is more important than anything else in the world right now for that bastard, so we have no choice but to stand there like a dog that wants to poop.”
“… Then, shouldn’t we come out right away and roll out the red carpet and put some hot girls next to us?”
“… Fuck you, duck You are the same man, but don’t you know more men than me?”

Lee Yoo-jin, who was looking at Jang Deok-gu as if he was very pitiful, let out her small smile and chined the man through the window.

“Just look cute. A man is an animal that will die if he doesn’t act tough in front of others.”
“Is it? Ah, anyway—how long are you going to have to fight in the snow with that bastard? It’s getting fucking hot now, Eugene.”
“… Please act a little tougher, you asshole. You’re fucking doing everything I tell you to do, right?”
“Of course. It’s already been scattered all over the building, so don’t worry about that.”

Despite Jang Deok-gu’s confident answer, Lee Yoo-jin narrows his eyes and looks around the building.

After swinging around the building for a while, Lee Yu-jin smiled in satisfaction and nodded her head.

“… Toxic year. Anyway, I did everything I was told to do, so don’t forget to include women in your requirements.”
“You just have to know the timing and say it, bastard.”
“Hmm—it’s embarrassing to say that with my own mouth.”
“A bastard who went all the way to the real thing is ashamed of everything, really.”

Deokgu Jang calmly shrugged her shoulders despite her contempt and belittling eyes.

After confirming that Jang Deok-gu’s hand, which had been stealing the sweat from his forehead, eventually went down to his pants, Lee Yoo-jin wriggled his head and pointed in front of her.

“Okay, let’s go. Let’s go, you crazy bastard. At this rate, you should be ready to receive guests soon.”

Thud- thud-

The gaze slowly follows the steps towards the front door of the library.

“… Our cute manager.”

Lee Yoo-jin deliberately opened her mouth wide and whispered to him.

Took-!

A hand very gently placed on the doorknob.

After Lee Yoo-jin was struck by her own abilities, she smiled as she looked at the door that had been closed for quite some time.

The personality of the director can be grasped in advance even with that small action.

Cautious or indecisive.

Both of them are the easy type to touch.

Lee Yoo-jin, who let out a small smile with her bright face, lightly pulled her hand that was holding her handle.

Kiki-Ik-
