Chapter 859 – Issue 1 (3)

“Fuck, where on earth am I…”

As soon as she entered the dungeon, Gold Rose, who was suddenly imprisoned in an unknown place, looked around with a confused expression.

She couldn’t even remember what the last sight she had seen was. The moment I entered the forest of ghosts with my usual solo hunt, I felt like something was attacking me from behind.

And after that, she immediately felt the sensation of her body being transferred towards the warp gate, so it was clear that she had ridden the warp gate at least once more, but as the view of an unfamiliar place, not the foundation, came into view, she couldn’t help but be embarrassed. It was a gold rose.

It was a golden rose that could not even confirm who the unknown object that attacked it was. The gold rose, which was moved by forcefully pushing her from behind with her mouth covered, and her hands held, was thrown into another corner of the pure white room.

“What the fuck… ? I’ve never heard of monsters like this appearing in the Forest of the Dead…”

Although it had the body shape and movements of a human being rather than a monster, if it were really a human being, it would have been normal for it to crawl on the floor after receiving the burning pain it reflexively used when it was captured.

That terrible pain, as if my whole body was on fire, was not the kind of pain that the human body could endure.

If it were a monster like a golem that had no sense of pain at all, it would be understandable that its attack did not work, but it did not feel like such a monster at all, and in the end, it was concluded that the gold rose attempted to kidnap it like this, even while enduring its own burning pain in some kind of way. It was.

“Even though it’s in a dungeon, are you kidnapping me like this? “Are you sane?”

It was absurd. The fact that they dared to kidnap and imprison him, the oldest member of the Geumhyang Group, like this.

I didn’t know what the kidnapper was thinking when he did this, but it was obvious that he would be found out soon. The feeling he felt when he was forcibly transported when he was kidnapped was definitely the same as when he was riding a warp gate.

That also meant that it was a planned crime of kidnapping by installing a warp gate right next to the foundation dungeon.

Of course, a warp gate was not the type of thing that could be installed and dismantled by one or two people in a matter of minutes. Installation could be done by a warp gate technician alone, but dismantling or moving it required at least three or four people to take it apart and move it for several hours.

If the kidnapping facility was built through such large-scale work, a lot of people would have been involved in the installation and dismantling process, so no matter what location it was, it was bound to be caught.

“I don’t know what kind of stupid bitch you are, but you prepared a lot. Anyway, if we start investigating in Geumhyang, Dulmi will probably be caught within three days.”

Three days. Yes, three days would have been enough.

It took only three days for her to realize she was missing, and she began searching.

I don’t know who the kidnapper was or what his purpose was, but he did his best to please everyone and was rescued three days later.

Or, you could use your own awakening ability to subdue it. In any case, if you want to negotiate with him, you will have to face him again at least once, and when you get closer, there is a chance to use phantom pain.

… A little while ago, for some reason, he didn’t feel like his awakening ability was working, but it was probably because of his mood, or maybe he just held back for a moment, so he vaguely thought that if he used it again, it would work this time.

If that’s not the case…

“… Ha, no way.”

Is your awakening ability weakening? It wasn’t even funny.

Still, it was a golden rose that thought it was strange that it didn’t work on that damn man the day before yesterday, so as soon as it returned from the dungeon, it called Geumdallae and used its awakening ability.

Geumdallae, who had been hit by phantom pain for some absurd reason, looked at her in tears, but it was more important to Geum Jangmi to find out that her phantom pain was working properly.

Geumdallae was glaring at her as if she was angry at her, which was rather surprising to Geumjangmi. Anyway, she was useless now that she didn’t have any memory capacity, but she thought that she would be grateful if I took her by my side and used her for something like that.

In any case, the assumption that her own awakening ability might have weakened in the process was completely eliminated, so in the end, there was only one hypothesis left.

“No way… At that time, that guy…”

Kim Seong-cheol, who made fun of himself by Do-hee’s side… No, if Seong Tae-kyung was the culprit, there was a good possibility.

I don’t know what the principle is, but there was a time when he completely ignored the mental magic he used and instead crushed his own hand with his grip.

Do-hee even looked at him openly from the side, so maybe Do-hee, who has a grudge against him, may have seen his ability and instigated this kidnapping.

“Anyway, you pretended to be clean, but you were still a bitch, right?”

It was her gold rose that lowered her to a level of her own that had nothing to do with her in reality.

On the other hand, Geum Jang-mi became a little afraid at the thought of the possibility that it was Seong Tae-kyung himself who had kidnapped her, or someone else who had used the method he had used to block the phantom pain. In any case, if her awakening ability didn’t work, her chances of winning would be lost.

It felt like I was feeling the crushing pain that I felt from the hand I held with Seong Tae-kyung the day before yesterday again.

I don’t know how he was able to inflict pain without leaving a trace, but he probably had an ability similar to his own. He had heard the media talking about being a person with multiple awakenings, so it was quite possible.

“…”

What if the guy who trapped him here was really that kite? What if Do-hee and Seong Tae-kyung are simply doing this because they have a grudge against them, rather than wanting something from the Geumhyang Group?

Although I was a little scared, it was the golden rose that tried to calm my mind. No matter how late it was, he still had no doubt that he would be rescued within three days.

However, for some reason, what made him anxious was the overall scenery of the place he was trapped.

“In a warehouse somewhere… Impression? Aside from that…”

For that matter, there were many items whose purpose was unknown and whose commonality could not be guessed.

A batting machine used for baseball players’ practice, a pile of baseballs, a restraint made to look like it was made to tie limbs, and a box full of long, hard objects.

And other than that, various objects whose purpose was unknown caught the eyes of the golden rose one by one.

“Funnel… ? What is this again… ?”

I looked around to see if there might be a tool that could help me escape, but it was hard to figure out what most of the items were used for.

I was able to guess that the restraints with handcuffs were used to bind the person’s body, but the purpose of the other items was unknown.

It was something that could not be helped. In this world, sexual torture ‘targeted at women’ was not a very familiar concept.

“Seeing as it says the phone is out of range, it really seems like it’s an underground warehouse in a building somewhere…”

She barely made it to the warp gate and into the underground warehouse, where she threatened to kidnap one person. It was a golden rose that seemed like all the effort to prepare was in vain.

Seeing that they had prepared so thoroughly made me feel a little reassured. To compensate for the cost of this kidnapping, the kidnapper will demand a large ransom from Geumhyang. It was a facility and kidnapping method that clearly involved a considerable amount of money, considering it was simply used to deal with a grudge relationship.

“If it comes down to it, I’ll have to make the buyer betray me and stick with me. If you are a man who is driven by money, it will be easy to use it.”

At that time, Gold Rose thought that there was nothing easier than dealing with someone who wanted money. … She has her warehouse… No, it was a leisure that I was able to gain because I failed to predict that the information I obtained while wandering around my ‘torture room’ actually pointed to something completely different.

Even now, in the next room, my younger brother was receiving ‘self-punishment’ under Seong Tae-kyung’s orders, but he could not be heard due to the perfectly soundproof structure of Bell’s dungeon. If I had heard even a little bit of that painful scream, I would have become a little more wary, but that didn’t happen.

“It looks like it will take some time to sort things out. Well, since the warp gate was used as a kidnapping tool, it would take a year to dismantle it.”

The calculation was that if the warp gate was discovered while the search had begun in earnest, it would be a disaster, so they would be busy dismantling it by now.

About five hours in captivity alone without a kidnapper or anyone else.

Boredom was slowly blooming in the heart of Golden Rose, who still had some spare time left. Her door opened, revealing her captor.

It was the appearance of a man who would throw the future of Golden Rose, who had been enjoying his leisurely life even in this situation, into hell.
