Chapter 1196 – [The Changing World]

One side is trash who raped a woman and bribed her judge for that crime, for which she got nothing but probation.

On the other side, a victim who kidnaps her enemy’s child and is prepared to live her life without harming her.

Which one is right, the question of which is quite complex. So Eden couldn’t make a hasty choice and contacted him.

“As I said earlier, I talked to Gaeun Koh’s parents. My father’s side was still trash as you think.”

-Is that so.

“Yes, I was thinking of blackmailing me, who had the only clue to save the child, to get a result. If I had no connections on my side, I would have achieved my goal.”

– Then what is the purpose you want?

“I want to hear your opinion.”

-You mean my opinion?

“A judge has to listen to both sides and make a ruling. Not like a human being who gets a probation and gets a suspended sentence like someone else.”

-………..

At that, he was silent. It was because it was a subject to worry about as much as there was in the past.

Eden waited patiently. Nothing was done by pressing it anyway. And after a while, he started talking slowly.

-…….Where would you like to start talking?

“As you like”

At Eden’s words, he started talking about when he first awakened his invisibility ability.

Coincidentally, the day he awakened as a psychic was not long after his daughter committed suicide. I’m not sure if the shock of her daughter’s death awakened his psychic powers, or if it was just a coincidence.

– Our daughter was a normal child. Even though she grew up without a mother, she was a good kid with no flaws, and that’s how she became an adult. And she……. She ended up with the gnome.

“You must have been heartbroken”

– I can’t express my feelings to the extent of being big. She developed her androphobia to the point that the bright child couldn’t see my face, and she couldn’t sleep without her medication. In such a situation, I endure and endure, and eventually one day……

I hear this grinding sound over the phone.

A woman who had a bright future passed away due to a single incident. At least, it would have been better if the opponent had been punished for sure, but the opponent even bribed the judge and was sentenced to probation.

The kidnapping he did was clearly wrong. He was a criminal and deserved punishment.

However, there were too many people who had sinned before that. It is too high an expectation to expect the victim to be just when justice has not been properly realized.

– How distressed that child is. Would he know that he made such a choice? No, if you just let it go, you’ll never know. So I have to let you know. What kind of sin did you commit!!!!

“Yes, I understand”

-……Is that true?

“I’m still young, but I’ve been a victim of sex crimes a few times, so I think I can understand a little bit when I think of my father’s feelings for me who suffered such things.”

-…………

“Kim Yong-soo’s revenge is reasonable. There may be problems legally, but I think it’s right from a human point of view.”

In response, Kim Yong-soo doubted Eden. It was because he thought that the other party might be the kind of negotiator who tried to persuade him to find out the location of her child or make him turn himself in.

Eden continued to say whether he noticed such signs in the other person.

“If I really didn’t want to take Kim Yong-soo’s side, I would have told the location of the child a long time ago. But I only told the police Kim Yong-soo’s name, not the child’s location.”

-Somehow, I heard someone’s staring at me these days… Was that the police?

“No, I am a member of the Celestial Dance Association.”

-If you knew I was the culprit and even sent the police, why are you bothering me like this? Can’t we just arrest him and take the kid?

“I told you. Mr. Kim Yong-soo’s revenge is reasonable. I’m struggling between the law and morality right now.”

-………..

If I hadn’t thought about it, I wouldn’t have spent this much time in the first place. I would have just told them where the child was and the culprit, and ended it quickly.

Besides, seeing the child’s father’s side completely turned her around. Even if there were legal problems, Eden wanted to take his side.

“They run away with the child and raise it themselves. Parents, like parents, can cause pain by being separated from their children, so it can be said to be a sure revenge method. Except for one thing.”

-……. Just one thing? What is it?

“The child’s mother. The father’s side has a problem, but the mother’s side is not guilty. The couple say they are united, but the only sin on their part is that her husband was human garbage. Wouldn’t it be a bit wrong for her to take the child away?”

– After all, you’re trying to convince me.

“No, it only means to change the direction of revenge. If the child is taken away, both parents will suffer, but if the child is given back as a condition of something else, can’t we make only the victim suffer without the victim?”

-…………

“I’m not forcing you. I’m just asking you to think about it. With this, I’ll just watch the game from now on.”

Eden, who met both the perpetrator and the victim, or the victim and the perpetrator, did everything he had to do. In the first place, Eden was not a police officer, but a third party who was asked to cooperate. You’ve done a lot just by making it this far.

All that remains is to watch. It is up to them to decide how to conclude and end.

“Revenge the child’s father, understand the child’s mother’s feelings, and think of another way. Then I’ll quit.”

-…….All right.

With that the call was disconnected. Eden decided to wait patiently after that. This is not a problem for people to solve, it is a problem for time to solve.

And two days later, Eden received the news that Kim Yong-soo had turned himself in.

*        *    *

Eden received a call from Vice Minister Kim Jae-pil of the Special Psychic Investigation Headquarters that Kim Yong-soo, the culprit she was monitoring, turned herself in.

About this he had a suspicion that Eden had done something, but he did not inquire. If the culprit surrendered, it meant that he was willing to cooperate, so it was better.

-What did you talk about with him that made you turn yourself in?

“I do not know”

– If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to. It’s not even a place where I can pry. However, even though Kim Yong-soo turned himself in, the location of the child has not been revealed yet.

“Looks like you want something.”

-Yes, he said he would like to meet the child’s parents in person. Would you like to observe?

“Would it be okay? The other time, it was in the name of a collaborator, but I thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to show your face in a situation where even the culprit surrendered.”

– You can say that you came as a bodyguard. Please do as you please.

Eden headed to the police station where Kim Yong-soo was detained to observe the case to the end.

And she saw Kim Yong-soo and Go Ga-eun’s fathers quarreling there. To be precise, the sight of him unilaterally grabbing Kim Yong-soo by the collar and shouting.

“Hey, this baby !!!!! My daughter, where is my daughter !!!!!”

“………”

“Tell me right now, you bastard!!!!!!”

“Ga-eun’s father, calm down for a moment…”

Thanks to that, only those who dry it suffer. I tried to calm it down by drying it off somehow, but my feelings did not cool down easily.

Despite being arrested, Kim Yong-soo seemed quite relaxed. If you don’t reveal the location of Hagisa’s child, Gap is over there. Even though his body was restrained, his hand to press the opponent was the strongest.

The situation calmed down for a while and Eden faced Kim Yong-soo. He was surprised to see Eden’s appearance and wide-eyed her eyes, but soon after hearing her familiar voice, he recognized who it was.

“Hello, this is the first time I’ve seen you in person.”

“…Ah, that’s the girl at that time. I thought I was young when I heard her voice, but was she an adult?”

“No, I’m taller than most of my peers. I’m still a minor.”

Needless to say, I am an elementary school student. Because it’s hard to believe easily anyway.

Eden confirmed that he had changed his mind in some way just because he was here.

If he really wanted to take revenge, it would have been simpler to kill the child rather than kidnap him, but his inclination to not make innocent victims by intentionally kidnapping was erratic, but it can be seen that the background is good.

Who was it that turned him into a criminal when he would have lived as a good man if left alone? Since he committed a crime, he will be punished in the end, but he accepted it by surrendering himself.

“Is there anything you want?”

“……..”

He was silent However, the silence was not because he had nothing to wish for, but to organize his feelings and thoughts.

“For the past ten years, I have been living in hell. When I close her eyes, I can see my daughter suffering from nightmares every day.”

“Yes”

“So, I want to take revenge on even the one person who is the culprit.”

As much as Ko Ga-eun’s father glared at him, he glared at his opponent. Both are like the feelings of a father who lost his daughter, but the weight is different.

One side knows that her daughter is still alive after being kidnapped, and the other side has been sharpening a knife for decades since her daughter’s death. It’s strange if the weight of the emotion is the same.

“Then you’ll need a notary or something. Let’s call someone and get started.”

“Are you going to call a lawyer?”

“I do not know?”

Soon the place was created again. He does not remain silent this time, but engages in negotiations firmly.

“I will tell you where your daughter is.”

“Yes!!!! Where is my daughter!!!!!”

“If only you would keep one promise.”

All he wanted was a confession of conscience.

It’s been decades, but it was something that had to be done long ago. And as much as what the person concerned did, he had to take responsibility for himself.

“Any way is fine. Get exposed to the media and make a confession about the sins you’ve committed. That’s my condition.”

“No, wait what?!”

“There are no conditions other than that. If you don’t, I will never open my mouth.”

“This bastard……!!!!”

Go Ga-eun’s father growled and clenched his fist. He was ready to punch him at any moment.

However, there are people with special abilities belonging to the police station who come out to monitor Kim Yong-soo, who is a person with special abilities, and there are other police officers. If you do that, it will just dry up like before.

“Anyway, even if I tried to hold legal responsibility for that, the statute of limitations would have passed. So I have to see you suffer, even as a confession of conscience.”

“Such a fucking bastard!!! Did you want to die so crazy!!!!”

“It’s my daughter who’s dead. And if you don’t, your daughter will die too.”

“Kuu…….!!!!”

He is a man who has already planned for a long time for this revenge, and has planned to organize his business and go abroad. If he decides to remain silent, the location of his child will be unknown.

No matter how tough the interrogation was, he wouldn’t speak until he died. Human beliefs sometimes overcome pain.

“…If I promise, will you tell me where our daughter is?”

“Of course”

“Okay, Haejuji I was standing at Gwanghwamun Plaza where I was confessing my conscience in front of reporters, holding a sign that said I was human trash.”

Eden reflexively realized that Ko Ga-eun’s father was lying. She thinks that there is no point in keeping a promise with the kidnapper once the child is found.

But that’s why I called a notary public. Even if you hire a lawyer and write a memorandum, it will not be effective, but the other party is a notary public who is more compulsory than the law or memorandum.

“Before you two promised each other, I called a notary separately. Oh, there he comes.”

“Who’s calling… Huh? Huh?!?!”

And from there, the worst, to be precise, the man wearing the Raccoon Man mask and now working as a mimic was walking.

I have to hide my identity, so I can’t let Eden and her father-daughter relationship know. Now it had to be known only as an acquaintance of an acquaintance.

“I heard about it from Keter, but I came because I thought it would be interesting. He said he needed a notary?”

“Welcome. This is a difficult job to do legally, so I needed the help of someone who is not bound by the law.”

The atmosphere in the police station becomes chilly at the appearance of the impersonator. If you pick the most famous person in Korea, he is a person who competes for two tops with Keter, but unlike Keter, the name of the imitation is greater in notoriety.

However, there were people who were interested because it was not without envy among them. I’m not in a position to deal with them right now.

“I know the story roughly. So, are you the last human bastard who raped someone else’s daughter and made her die?”

“No, that’s it. That’s why…”

“I also have a daughter the size of Eden here, so I don’t think it’s like anything else. If my daughter did that, she would smash her limbs, crush her jawbone, goug out her eyes, and leave her on a hospital bed for the rest of her life. I would do that”

“……………..”

Go Ga-eun’s father broke into a cold sweat. The momentum of shouting at Kim Yong-soo from earlier is nowhere to be found.

If the obvious thing is to act the same now, even if you can’t do it, you’re an idiot. There are not one or two people who have a lifelong disability that cannot be recovered because of imitation drugs, and if they get angry here, it is anger control disorder.

“Since I’ve come as a notary public, I’ll tell you the conditions again here and make a clear promise. If it’s a problem with the law, it’s over as soon as I mention my name, so don’t worry. Oh, are you the kidnapper?”

“Ah, yes. It is.”

“What are your conditions?”

“In exchange for telling me where the child is, I’m making him make a confession. And it has to be exposed to the media so the world can find out.”

“Okay, then your child’s father. Will you accept that condition?”

“That, that’s…”

It is impossible to break the promise as long as the impersonator takes care of the notary. Knowing that, he, who had confidently said that he would promise until just now, couldn’t easily say it.

But retreat is also impossible. I can’t give up my daughter, so in the end I have to do it even if I don’t want to.

“……Yes, I promise.”

“Okay. I won’t leave any papers or anything like that, but if you break this promise, I’ll do as I said earlier, so behave yourself.”

They smashed his limbs, crushed his jawbone, and gouged out his eyes. The worst thing Go Ga-eun’s father remembered had just said, and his complexion turned pale.

If you confess your conscience, you will die socially, and if you do not keep your promise, you will be better off dead.

On the contrary, Kim Yong-soo’s side is welcome either way. It is because his enemy, not himself, suffers like that. Rather, on the other hand, there was also a wish that he would break his promise. Then, every day, using the excuse of visiting the hospital, I will go to see the miserable situation.

The case was thus settled. When Hyeong-je, a trusted opponent, checked the notary, Kim Yong-soo immediately told him the location of his child.

“The child is in an officetel in the name of an acquaintance. The address is…”

Police immediately rushed to protect the child, and soon after, the child was returned to her parents’ arms.

Even if it was the father who made a complicated expression when he saw his daughter who had returned.

All that was left was the back.
