Chapter 30 – Tale of a Demon – An Incident Occurs

“Is there anyone inside?”

“I have two women.”

Rooms made simple with partitions. As long as you remove the curtain that covers the entrance, you can enter anywhere. I carefully put my face in and looked around the room, but there was no other man. Instead, there were just two women lying at the far end of the room.

“Do these people recognize your face?”

“Not at all.”

“Really?”

A sound is heard from the place where the two people are. A scary sound of the leg snapping. Was there a guy who didn’t fall down with one hit? He groaned, shouting the word chin with his twisted tongue. The foreign woman who was being raped by them also screamed, but quickly became quiet.

“Are the women okay?”

“I think I fell.”

He tied the two women he found around his waist and went to the place where the three men had fallen. The guys looked like their jaws had gone out and they were biting blood bubbles. Dead or not, he probably won’t wake up for a while anyway. Just in case, I locked the second floor door, laid down the two fallen women, and approached the shivering blonde foreigner.

“Who is this person?”

“A professor of mixed British and Korean descent… Was it… “

He was a famous person. He didn’t really like Korean people, so he had a bad relationship with students. He is someone I only heard had returned to England and was then completely forgotten about. I remember his face because he looked good, but I have no idea his full name. I do remember the name because it was famous in a bad way.

“… Eva Purdue.”

“Professor Purdue?”

“You can call me by my name.”

“He got angry when I called him.”

“… That’s enough. … That’s it.”

Professor Eva spit out something that had gathered in her mouth. He was always a person who looked down on others with a coercive air, and he became very haggard. I grabbed his shoulders, lifted his waist, and helped him sit on the bed, but he didn’t avoid my touch. How did someone who had such a strong dislike for Korea change to this point? In the past, he would have gotten angry the moment he touched it.

“I heard he went to England.”

“… Come in and do something. … “My story, etc.”

He told the story while blaming himself.

After he returned, he tried to work as a professor over there, but they didn’t accept him. Eventually, he returned to Korea and tried to find work, but his actions so far had affected him. He returned home, had a big fight with his Korean mother, and left. And then, after being heartbroken and drunk, he was brought here.

… This person’s nationality is this.

Why do you speak so well? Because he was a person who had a great hatred for Koreans. He might have a real name, but he hid it.

“Maybe the name is fake… “

“… “Don’t ask.”

“Oh, yes.”

I didn’t ask any more than that. He must have been feeling guilty, and it must have been absurd to be caught up in something like this. Moreover, it was difficult to imagine how it must have felt to have treated the kids I hated so much.

“How long has it been since you were brought here?”

“It’s already been a week. I drink alcohol and use drugs. … “You guys are like monkeys.”

“Medicine?”

“I don’t know what it is. When I eat it, my head becomes dizzy. Thanks to that, I didn’t go crazy, but instead I felt embarrassed and wanted to die. My weaknesses were also discovered. … “If I go back home, I’ll just cause trouble.”

“But you still have to go back.”

“Even if you go out with great momentum, you can’t clean up after yourself.”

There is also Euna whose video is still circulating because she didn’t take care of it. Considering Professor Eva’s personality, I think she will commit suicide the moment a video of her doing something like that goes around.

“What did you guys come to do?”

“Because our children were kidnapped. Note… Are these people acquaintances that you met on your way here? Like-minded people? It’s the same thing… “

“You don’t speak Korean very well.”

It seems like you learned Korean too badly.

“Who are those two people and where did the girls below come from?”

“Children who were threatened even after graduating with their girlfriends.”

“Huh… “

The two people behind me let out surprised voices at Professor Eva’s words. Is it possible to live in college while being threatened, and even after graduating, to be dragged to a place like this and raped? I can’t even imagine how deep their karma is. Even if you get stabbed to death by a woman while walking down the street, you can still say, “Oh, that’s right.”

“Is it just the three of you who came?”

“Yes.”

“You three can’t do anything. The number of people is different.”

“How much do you have?”

“There are enough twenty people down there. Today is a happy day and all, so we gathered the kids who graduated. “If they rush to the top later, you will all die.”

“It’s more than I thought.”

Lee Moon-sik pursed his lips and Hong Seung-yong’s face turned blue. She was the type of person who had good spirit at first, but gradually realized the reality. At first glance, I didn’t seem like the right person for this kind of job, but I felt a bit sorry for bringing him here.

“This guy is okay, right?”

“Even though he looks like this, he’s used to this kind of thing. “Don’t worry.”

“… It doesn’t look like that.”

Hong Seung-yong sighs into the sky. He took out his cigarette while complaining about why he got involved in this. He seems to be gathering his thoughts in his own way. Furthermore, he opened his phone, thinking that he was the one who came this far, so let’s trust him. Five minutes had passed since he came up to the second floor and knocked down three men. It was because I thought it was around the time when Mr. Let’s move came.

“Oh.”

“Look at the timing.”

The moment I was about to check the time, the phone rang. I answered the phone leaving Lee Moon-sik smiling, saying it was a bad day with good luck.

“… Hello?”

“Almost there!”

“This quickly?”

“Take the limit and run! I see a two-story building in front of me. Is that right?!”

“Yes. There’s nothing else around here, so maybe that’s… “

“Get off the door!!!!”

“… “Nun?”

The phone hung up, and a loud noise was heard from somewhere. The sound of a car honking loudly and speeding up. And the sound of someone getting very angry. It wasn’t one person’s voice. It is clearly a cry made by a group.

“Fall from the door? … Woook?!”

“What? What else?!”

There was no time to ask what that meant. My feet swayed, and the building shook violently. There was a commotion on the first floor along with a loud roar. The sound of women screaming. The sound of men swearing. The sound of glass breaking. The sound of something breaking.

“Let’s go down!”

Following Lee Moon-sik, who took the lead, I opened the door to the second floor and looked down at the first floor. And as soon as I saw that scene, the word ‘oh’ disappeared from my brain.

“Wow, look at what you did without even thinking about it.”

“Are all your acquaintances idiots?”

“I want to ask.”

Two cars were smashed into the window where the light was flashing just a moment ago. One is a black van and the other is an ambulance. I don’t know why the ambulance is here. I felt dizzy for a moment, but the situation was changing by the minute. Men came out noisily and people got out of the car. Among them was the man who moved.

“Mister!”

“… Min! Kim Min! Lady’s boyfriend!”

The mover checked this place. He pointed at me and showed my face to his colleagues.

“Who are those two people over there?!”

“Acquaintance!”

I took Lee Moon-sik and Hong Seung-yong down the stairs. The building is a mess. I didn’t hit the car hard enough to break it, but I broke the glass wall and parked it. You can see the men coming out full of caution, leaving the women crying inside.

“… “Do you usually end up here?”

“The young lady was kidnapped! Miss ahhh! Can you stay still! “I have no choice but to bring only the ones I can gather right now!”

“Why an ambulance?”

“That thing is fast!”

“Why did you bring the girl who works with that girl’s younger brother?!”

“The centipedes come as they please!!!”

We see Jeong Da-mi and Kang I-rim standing next to the car. He come to his work clothes and in a dirty state. Dami Jeong is pretending to be okay, but her legs are shaking. Kang Lee-rim’s face turned pale to match her height and size.

“Where is the lady?! “What is that blood again?”

“Songmi is on the first floor! “We did something wrong first?!”

“I’m strong~!”

The moving man taps me on the back and runs forward with his colleagues. The three of us chased after him. Everyone is holding tools. I can see the guys coming out wearing only panties looking embarrassed. In the meantime, I saw someone who stood out, and it was a face I couldn’t forget.

“That’s the mastermind.”

A man wearing only shorts and slippers, glaring at me with messy hair.

The troublemaker who succeeded Lee Ganam.

Hyunjun Choi.

In my memory, Choi Hyun-jun was always a villain with a lot of composure. Since I was far away from the department, I didn’t care at all what bad things that rotten guy did. So it’s true that I don’t know much about that damn guy. Anyway, the relationship was non-interference from the moment Lee Ganam did that.

Others follow suit. There is leadership. A villain full of leisure. That was the image of that bastard living inside me. As far as I know, this guy isn’t the kind of guy who would go out here and do something (kidnapping). And that guy doesn’t know much about me either. You never would have imagined that I would do something this big. Look at that expression. The ungainly dilated pupils are telling the answer.

Isn’t it the characteristic of guys in this department to more steadily identify weaknesses and build them up to take on women? He must have known very well what would happen if he openly drugged others and even staged a kidnapping. It may be okay to threaten the woman and bring her to this dark place, but isn’t the kidnapping itself dangerous?

Those wide-open pupils.

I don’t know what thoughts are in there.

“I didn’t expect you to leave like this.”

“… Ha.”

The guy snorted, pretending to be okay. He is maintaining his posture as if he is relaxed, but he knows very well that this is not the case. Things had gone well so far, but this major accident occurred. When I see him taking his time in a situation where he needs to run away right now, I either have some faith in him or he is so shocked that he freezes.

“What happened to our kids?”

“Who.”

“Kidnapped children.”

“… I don’t know. … “What the fuck?!”

There was nothing for anyone to say. Before he could finish speaking, he threw a wooden block at his face and flinched while he flinched. As soon as a short word came out of Choi Hyun-jun’s mouth, the rapists behind him and the men behind me came rushing in and threw themselves.

“… Huh?!”

“You don’t know what you don’t know, you fucking bastard!”

Ignoring the shouts and screams coming from both sides, I only glared at Choi Hyun-jun, who was lying on the ground. As soon as his back hit the bare floor, he let out a loud sigh. I was able to completely take over the position, and he was being strangled without being able to resist.

“Hey, what the hell~?!”

“You have to mess with people! You idiot! “Did you think you were filming a movie?!”

The guy flailed his arms around and started punching me in the face. He was lying down, unable to breathe properly, and swinging his fists. A fist stuck in his nose and blood dripped, but the hand around his neck did not lose strength.

“Kuhuh?!”

The fist that hit my face loses strength. His body was shaking, and he was making strange noises as if he was having trouble breathing. It looked like a crazy frog struggling desperately. I felt like I wanted to kill him like this, but I held back. Before he completely stopped breathing, I put my arm around his neck and picked up the wood carving that had fallen next to him.

“Fuck! You bastard! This! You! Fuck! Nimiral! More than karma! “You fucking bastard!”

“Uuuuuck! Fuck! Ugh! Shibaaaaal?!”

I got up and chopped down the crouching guy’s arms and legs. Just like those two said earlier, aim for the chin precisely. I took pictures precisely targeting only the wrists and shins. Even if you crouch down, you get hit in an area where you have no choice but to get hit, and you scream. I could see the skin being torn and bleeding, but I had no intention of stopping.

“If I looked so ridiculous, they would have kidnapped me! Fuck! After that, fuck my girlfriend! Play with it! Take the medicine! When it was over, I would have threatened you! Fuck! Fuck you! Dog shit! “I looked at you so funny because I had a history of losing my girlfriend once. Isn’t that right, you fucking Roma!!!”

“Nowaaaaa! Mr. Lee! “Brrrr!”

“Did you get your tongue twisted? “You bastard!”

As soon as I hit the forehead of the guy who desperately raised his waist with the corner of his neck, he fell down again. The forehead was so hard that the leg that hit it folded in half. I clenched my fist and jumped on top of him and punched him in the face again.

“Dog, bastard!!!”

“What the fuck?!”

It seemed like my voice couldn’t come out anymore. A piece of wood desperately reaching out to grab hold of a fallen tree. I stabbed myself in the face with the sharp part of it that broke while I was using it. The moment I bent forward to swing my fist, it flew at me and I couldn’t avoid it.

“Fuck you!”

The guy was desperate too. The awl part of the leg pierced my cheek and tore the flesh in front of my ear. I felt warm liquid dripping down my cheeks and down to my neck. Fortunately, I had lost a lot of my strength, so there were no major injuries. He desperately aimed for the neck, but missed.

“Fuck… “

“Fuck you, you bastard!!!”

The bastard just decided he failed to finish me off with that. Then he cursed and screamed. Perhaps due to the blood flowing, my slightly cold head guided my body. My fist broke his nose and knocked him unconscious.

“Siever…” “

Although my body lost strength, I was able to move because I didn’t get hit much.

“… “What a dog.”

I tied the fallen guy to my waist and looked nearby. It was an insulting sight. The women are hoarse from screaming and are trembling in the corners of the house. The men who ran out are being beaten by the people brought by the mover. They may be experts at this type of work, but the way they beat and subdued the kids seemed very natural.

I turned back and walked towards the van. Da-mi Jeong and I-rim Kang are staring blankly at the scene of the fight taking place. Next to him, the man who moved was looking at me. He had a scary face when he just came in here, but now he has a smiling expression. I guess something good happened without me knowing.

“Wow, my master is hurt a lot.”

“You’re talking like a brat… “

He lost his temper and threw Choi Hyun-jun into the van. Jeong Da-mi and Kang I-rim’s expressions turned pale when they saw my face. The wound was not deep and only a little blood came out. The bleeding has roughly stopped, but it must have been a scary sight for the two women.

“Uh, Ora Room? … Is your face okay?”

“Big orabang face… I was seriously injured… “

There was no need to brag. I told him not to talk to me because it hurt so bad. When she opened her mouth, the torn cheek area moved and blood trickled out. Moreover, her nose was bleeding, so half of her face was turning red.

“Do you have anything to wipe?”

“Nothing… “

“All I’m carrying are spare panties and a condom. Because the noodles are small… “

Kang I-rim takes out T-panties from his pocket. I don’t know why I carry so many panties, but I didn’t bother to ask. Because I felt like my cheek would tear if I got angry unnecessarily. I thought he was joking, but seeing his serious expression, it seems like he meant it.

“… Use this.”

“Oh?”

A voice from behind me and a towel draped over my head.

“… Are you okay?”

It was Professor Eva, who had a large towel wrapped around her naked body. He calmly gave me a towel, but the moment I turned away, his face turned blue. This person also has a surprisingly weak stomach. I guess I’m the type of person who can’t watch horror movies or anything like that.

“Maybe.”

“Just rest, right? “I caught the kid who did this.”

“Does the professor care about me?”

“… Is it bad?”

I think this person is far from the rumors. I wonder what happened here to make him so docile. Or maybe I gave up half-heartedly. It’s not that things have changed for the better, but it breaks my heart to see them deteriorate so pitifully.

“Well, I only caught one person. … “Have you seen the two I brought?”

“I went into a large room inside the building.”

“Ah… “

I knew the general structure of this building, so I felt like I knew where it was. Even though it’s a large room, it’s smaller than the room you entered after breaking the glass wall. It is a place with an appropriate size for lying down children who have fallen. Are the kidnapped children there too?

“Will you be here?”

“I have to protect the young lady’s younger brother and this little boy.”

I looked at the place where the fight broke out in front of the van. Overall, things were going well. The guys who rushed to the kitchen and grabbed the blades got their wrists shredded. Those who desperately attacked with their bare hands had their chins or heads blown off by the tools and ended up crawling on the floor.

“Are you taking this with you?”

“Don’t overdo it.”

I left the man behind and entered the broken glass wall. I passed a large room with a wooden baseball bat in my hand. Hong Seung-yong and Lee Moon-sik are visible as soon as you enter the room inside. And three men standing in front of them holding blades.

“Hey… Fuck you guys… “

Behind the men, the kidnapped children were lying half naked. There were a lot of expensive-looking cameras and video recording devices nearby. Since I knew what it was being used for, my anger rose again.

The opponent is holding a sword.

It was better to use the same method as when beating Choi Hyun-jun. I immediately looked around. One folding desk for outdoor use. It was just the right size and light in weight, so I could hold it with one hand.

And then go back to the room.

“You fucking beasts!!!!”

“Mr?!”

I lifted the desk horizontally and pushed it. It was as if he was pushing the hand holding the knife to keep it from rising. I didn’t have the strength to hit someone with the baseball bat I was holding in my other hand. I threw the bat back, being careful of the desk and blade I was holding.

“Fuck you! “Look at how smart we are!”

Someone behind him grabbed a baseball bat. I grabbed the folding desk with both hands and swung the weapon over my head while pushing the three people. The three guys are embarrassed, and one guy’s pot breaks loudly. A short amount of time in seconds for this event to occur.

“… Seongsik!”

“Sssss… “

One guy who came to his senses late took his hand out from under the folding desk and stabbed my thigh. Because he was pushing his wrist away, he was not stabbed too deeply. The tip of the blade touched him, and he felt a little stabbed. It hurt a little, but the heat in his head didn’t make him weak.

“… What?!”

“Aaaaah?!”

Meanwhile, another guy’s head was blown off. A baseball bat swung widely around the forehead. The last person next to him screamed as his head was thrown aside, and he fell backwards against the wall. His wrist holding the blade was pushed against the folding desk, and he was unable to raise his arm. I was able to throw away the blade and get my hand out onto the desk, but it was too late.

“A huge amount of money!”

“Yes! Fuck! “This is a grand slam home run to hell, you fucking bastards!”

The last one falls. He kicked the blade that had fallen on the ground and pushed it away. The suspicion that something might be wrong kept lingering in my head.

“Uh… I guess he’s not dead… “

When I looked back, I saw Hong Seung-yong holding a baseball bat, his eyes wide open as he was out of breath. With his suit, forced parting, and bloody baseball bat, is he an office worker with a psychopathic concept? I thought it was definitely Lee Moon-sik who hit it, but it was surprising.

“Just close the room door first.”

“There’s a fight outside?”

“So they say close it.”

Hong Seung-yong closed the door and locked it, panting. Then he threw the baseball bat somewhere and squatted down. While Lee Moon-sik was stepping on the fallen and flinching guys, he approached the girls and checked their condition. I also thought there might be something wrong with my body since it was a bad sleeping pill.

“Are you okay?”

“… Eww. … Ah.”

“Crazy.”

The only person who could speak was Jiwon. His small body trembled, and he desperately stretched out his hand. Although he opened his eyes, it was very sad to see him drooling in a half-asleep state. The other kids also have their eyes open, but are lying down because they can’t aim their bodies properly. I feel like I can’t even speak properly. It seemed like he didn’t even understand what was going on.

Song-mi Jeong, Eun-ah Hong, Ji-won Kim, Sae-bom Choi.

All you have to do is take these four people with you to the van.

“Can you lift it?”

“… That’s what I’m saying. … Are you okay?”

“Men are pretentious.”

“Well.”

Hong Seung-yong looks at me with anxious eyes. Lee Moon-sik joins in on my bravado. I carried Hong Eun-ah, and Lee Mun-sik carried the relatively light Ji-won and Choi Sae-bom on both sides. The remaining Jeong Song-mi naturally belongs to Hong Seung-yong.

“Wait a minute.”

Before leaving, I thoroughly destroyed the camera and other items with a dropped baseball bat. From the looks of it, I guess he hasn’t done anything yet. Still, I felt bad because I had prepared until this point. The price seems to be quite high, so it will be at least a consolation to those who have been threatened so far.

“OK, let’s go out.”

After destroying the equipment, he ran outside. Unlike before, the screaming and cursing noises have decreased significantly. Still, it seems that there are still kids who resist or fight. There is nothing we can do about it since they are young and energetic. There were kids who stabbed me with a knife because they couldn’t see what was in front or behind, so the guy seemed to be in trouble too.

“Mister.”

“… “Is she okay?”

“I’m relieved after taking the medicine, so I’ll be fine soon.”

While I was thinking about where to put the kids who had taken their medicine and stretched out, I heard the sound of a car approaching from afar. Because it is a very unpopular place, people do not flock there despite the commotion. A group of black vans driving in a straight line at that place. Looking at the mover’s reaction, it seemed like they knew each other.

“I just called for an additional car, so I can just lay it down there.”

“Didn’t you stop the gangsters in our country?”

“No matter where you live, people who live well. That’s normal. … Sometimes you see reporters disappear without a word. … “Are there no such thing as us?”

A car caught at the end of the giggling man’s gaze. Among the droves of vans, there is an expensive car that looks nice. I didn’t know the name of the car or the person in it, but I thought I knew who was coming. It was a development that would have been familiar to anyone who had watched any drama or cartoon.

“… “By any chance, all of Jeong Song-mi’s family?”

“Young Master, you are very perceptive.”

“Huh… “

People piled out of the van. The final work has begun. He dragged the resisting children away, yelling at them, beating them, and breaking their will to resist. In a desperate situation where people were not being acknowledged, people who appeared to be police officers entered the building. While the drastic cleanup was in progress, a person got out of the car and approached us.

Shortened jeans over a body-fitting black T-shirt. She has a fluffy coat draped over her shoulders and her beautifully wavy hair is flowing. No matter how I looked at it, I got goosebumps at the appearance of Jeong Song-mi, as if she had been made into an adult.

The big man in a suit with all-white hair following him is also scary. Anguish can be seen on the face with many wrinkles on the forehead. That scary impression even has 300 eyes. His tightly clenched fist was so distracted that he seemed ready to attack me at any moment.

“It won’t hit suddenly, right?”

“… Cheer up.”

“… “Wow.”

*

I was dragged away by car.

Even though they were dragged away, they were not treated harshly. The man in the suit, who was embarrassed by my condition, treated me quite politely. He applied the medicine to my face with delicate hands that did not suit my size, but I thought I was nervous for no reason.

“Hi~?”

After roughly disinfecting. The first to speak up was Jeong Song-mi’s mother (presumed to be). Aside from the fact that she resembled Songmi Jeong, her aura was very light. There was such a commotion outside, but it felt like a different world here.

“Hello… “

I sat in the back seat and quietly lowered my head. There was no reply to my greeting. The only sound that could be heard was the man in the suit clenching his fists while holding the steering wheel. This situation is probably very unpleasant. I thought I might get hit if I was not careful.

“First, I ask. … “You’re the guy who has my daughter as his lover?”

“… Yes. … That’s right.”

My body shrank from a voice that sounded like a lion’s growl. As someone who was carrying several women, I was not happy with this situation. It’s probably the same over there too. There was a man in front of me who had taken my daughter, whom I had raised with great care, as one of his lovers. Isn’t this the kind of anger that makes your eyes turn back and then turn around and come back to normal?

“The name is Kim Min. … Right?”

“… Yes.”

“When I found out that my child was kidnapped, I called the mover and came to chase him.”

“Yes, yes.”

“They caught the main culprit too?”

“… That’s right.”

There was silence. One of the three hundred eyes is slightly turning its head and looking this way. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but he seems angry. My mother, sitting in the passenger seat, was laughing. When I first saw him, he looked a little angry, but now I don’t know what’s so happy about it.

“… “No.”

“See, my child has eyes for men?”

“You keep your mouth shut!”

Her husband shouted loudly, but her mother’s laughter did not disappear. No matter how you look at it, she is similar to Jeong Song-mi. First, I knew that this house itself was the opening venue, so I expected this kind of personality.

“Son, do you know who we are?”

“Aren’t you Jeongsong Mine’s family?”

“Yes, I am Jeong I-song. “My husband is Jeong Dam.”

He laughed and said that despite his size, the name was cozy. She shouts loudly at him to stop. Unlike what she had just said, her mood had died down a lot, so I felt relieved. There’s a fight going on outside and there’s a bloody boy in the car. And in front of him, there were two female family members who were his lovers. I wonder what kind of situation this is.
