258. Gift (3)
Shin Se-hee enviously glanced at the bright red belt tied around Kang Do-hee’s waist.
Jin Yu-ha stared at Shin Se-hee like that.
‘Hmm, did Shin Se-hee want to receive a gift too?’
Well, during that time, other party members were given a lot of equipment as combatants.
In Shin Se-hee’s case, as a non-combatant, she was relatively unable to receive equipment or anything like that.
‘That’s fortunate.’
This time, I definitely prepared something for Shin Se-hee.
“Shin Se-hee.”
“Oh, yes!?”
“I have a gift for you too.”
“Me, to me······!?”
Shin Se-hee pointed to my face with a puzzled expression.
It was just a little bit of a tantrum that provoked Kang Do-hee.
First of all, a gift for yourself.
‘······Did you notice?’
Shin Se-hee felt awkward for no reason and coughed.
‘But what kind of gift is it?’
There probably wasn’t any time to prepare a gift because you were dealing with the Shinga guards······.
Did you prepare anything before coming to China?
‘What could it be?’
Heart pounding.
Heart pounding.
The corners of my mouth twitched in anticipation, and my heart pounded softly.
“Follow me. It’s not here. I hid it.”
‘Hide it?’
At Jin Yu-ha’s words, Shin Se-hee followed him with a strange expression.
The place he headed to was a remote alley.
Flutter─
Jin Yu-ha said as he walked through the huge tent there.
“This is it.”
“······This, this is, my, my gift?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Shin Se-hee opened her mouth in bewilderment.
It can’t be helped.
Because what Jin Yu-ha showed me as her gift was a pile of corpses.
It was immediately clear what the body was.
Just a moment ago, it was the Shin Ga bodyguards that Jin Yu-ha had been dealing with.
‘What kind of gift is this······.’
Perhaps he held a grudge against his family and thought they would like this gift.
To be honest, I have to say that my tastes are a bit out of the ordinary.
That doesn’t mean I had any hobby of collecting these corpses.
‘Other than something like this, I would gladly accept any gift that was given with the thought of me!’
Even without any special features.
Even a small gift would be fine.
Anything as long as you put your heart into it.
At least this corpse wasn’t the gift he wanted.
What on earth was Jin Yu thinking when he gave himself this gift?
Shin Se-hee looked at Jin Yu-ha with eyes filled with resentment.
“What do you think? Do you like it?”
However, Jin-yu didn’t know the speed of the answer and just asked back with a natural, innocent expression.
Shin Se-hee, who had been staring blankly at the corpse, closed her eyes tightly.
‘Haa······. Should I act like I like it······. Yes, I think you prepared this with me in mind······.’
At that moment, Shin Se-hee was about to nod with a dejected expression.
Jin Yu-ha opened her mouth.
“Okay, give me the order quickly.”
“······yes?”
“hurry.”
* * *
‘You’ll like it, right?’
Because she was always surrounded by busy work, she was a person who didn’t have enough hands even if she had ten.
I’m sure this gift will help her.
Shin Ga’s personal guard.
A bodyguard unit that obeys the orders of Shindohwa and each possesses considerable military power.
And crucially, he was also the main culprit who released the chimera into the world at the end of this episode under Shindohwa’s orders.
The reason I dealt with them and dragged their bodies was simple.
As Shin Se-hee’s personal story unfolds in the game, there is a scene where she recalls meeting Shin Do-hwa.
At that time, Shin Se-hee speaks with a face full of regret.
– If, back then, I had given the order to the Shinga Guard······. to stop the Chimera from being released, the Chimera would not have threatened people······.
The way Shindohwa subjugated Shinga’s personal guards was through bloodshed.
Through vivisection, a strong control was placed on the subject, forcing them to follow orders even after death.
In other words, this meant that Shin Se-hee, who inherited Shin Do-hwa’s blood, could also give orders to the Shin family’s personal guard.
‘So, after releasing the chimera, the scattered Shinga guards appear as hidden pieces exclusively for Shin Se-hee.’
Originally, the hidden pieces were scattered like used dragon balls, but now you can obtain them all at once at this point.
If this isn’t a gift, then what is?
I looked at Shin Se-hee with expectant eyes, but she just looked flustered.
“And, an order······? The Shinga bodyguard is already dead······. Also, the bodyguard basically only listens to what that woman, Shindohwa, says.”
ah.
‘Shin Se-hee, at this point, you don’t know at all? That Shin’s personal guards are puppets that follow orders even after death, and that you have the authority to command.’
If that’s the case, then it would be understandable to be confused.
Because he just threw the corpses at me and said they were gifts.
‘But it’s no fun to just tell them.’
“You have to lose to win. Give it a try. Come on, follow me. Get up!”
“······.”
I urged Shin Se-hee.
Then, Shin Se-hee, who was looking at me with suspicious eyes, spoke to the corpse in a trembling voice.
“Hey, wake up······.”
However, nothing happened.
‘Huh? What? I said it would just work······?’
Since I vividly remembered the Shinga bodyguards that were active as Shin Se-hee’s hands and feet in the game, I spoke to Shin Se-hee again.
“Tseuup, I think you need to speak with more force. Try again. Follow me with a loud voice. Stand up!”
“Hey, wake up!”
“Stop being formal and speak informally!”
“······Hey, get up!!”
Shin Se-hee continues to raise her voice, telling the body to get up.
She felt the eyes of the party members staring at her from behind.
I felt so ashamed that I wanted to die.
To be honest, I was doing it because Jin Yu-ha told me to.
I wondered what on earth they were doing.
All it takes is giving orders to the corpse and telling it to raise its voice.
“Like Shindohwa, add more weight to your voice! One more time!”
Jin Yu-ha keeps asking for embarrassing things as if she were a health trainer.
‘Really, why are you doing this to me! Is it because I’m jealous of Kang Do-hee? Is this a punishment?’
however.
For her, refusing Jin Yu-ha’s request was not only shameful, but also difficult.
She shouted with her face red and her eyes tightly shut.
“Get up!!!!”
Shudder.
“oh.”
“Excuse me, Jin Yu-ha, how long will this last······.”
“Wow! That’s it!”
“Yes? Well, what can I do? Huh······?”
Let’s turn our heads.
Suddenly.
The Shinga bodyguard who had already experienced death once.
They rose from their seats, twisting their bodies, and stood tall before her.
“Wow, that’s ridiculous······.”
Shin Se-hee opened her eyes wide in embarrassment.
*
‘Wow, this is it! Shin Se-hee’s exclusive elite bodyguard!’
I looked at the Shin Ga guards lined up in front of me with a proud face.
“What do you think? Do you like it?”
“······Yes, I like it······.”
Then, this time, Shin Se-hee nodded with a face that was clearly different from before.
“Well, we’ve been delayed here longer than I thought. Now we have to go catch that woman.”
“······Shinto flower.”
Shin Se-hee spat out in a stiff voice.
“That’s right. But······. Here we will be torn in two.”
“yes?”
Shin Se-hee asked back with a bewildered face.
“I’m going to give Shindohwa a proper shit-eaten treat.”
I said this while looking at the Shin Ga guards lined up in front of me.
* * *
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Kururur······.”
A man who has completely lost his mind.
Yuwon was drooling and pounding the test tube with his fist.
A test tube that looks like it might break at any moment.
The researchers left with their subjects, leaving only her and Yu-won in the lab.
‘That kid is coming here.’
I already knew Jin Yu-ha’s movements.
It was impossible to confirm its appearance with a camera.
It was a monstrous cognitive ability, because just pointing the camera lens at him caused the drone to blow up immediately.
However, by estimating the location where the drone was destroyed, it was possible to roughly guess where Jin Yu-ha was.
‘He, that kid is coming here.’
Jin Yu-ha was heading straight for the lab as if he knew where it was.
Just a little bit now.
Just wait a little longer and the splendid jewel will be in your hands.
My breath was caught in my throat with unbearable anticipation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kwajijijijik─
A crack appears in the glass wall of the test tube.
At the same time.
Crunch───
A crack appeared in the thick iron door blocking the laboratory.
A sword that cuts through thick iron gates like cutting paper.
Kwaaang─!!
The iron gate fell down with a loud noise.
‘at las!’
Shindohwa is facing Jinyuha directly.
I looked at the entrance with a smile of joy on my lips.
however.
Soon, she had no choice but to harden her face.
Yeah, that’s right.
The one who opened the door and appeared was not Jin Yu-ha.
Wheeee …
Because there were thousands of black bugs in the swarm.
“Gyaaahh …
