Living in a World That Is Destined for Destruction

＜ Episode 14 ＞

Excluding the slums, the 50th division, which can be said to be the outermost part of Luna, each has a different role.

Factories, warehouses, food production bases, etc.

As it is a place that produces or distributes things that make Luna’s citizens live their daily lives, the importance of the 50th district was not inferior to other districts, no matter how outskirts it may be.

However, as it was such a district, the interests were considerable, so conflicts between gangs and companies were severe, and there were cases where organized workers united and voiced their voices, so it would not be strange to call the 50th district a demonic land comparable to a slum.

Major incidents as well as minor incidents never ceased, and because of this, the demand for a solver never ceased.

Area 53, where John set foot, was no different, and Area 53 had more incidents than other areas.

That’s also true, because the role of Area 53 was for entertainment, consumption, and shopping.

***

Luna’s appearance at night and during the day is distinctly different.

It might be natural for a place with a city’s name on it, but Luna was particularly bad at it, especially Area 53.

During the day, there is nothing special about it, crowded with people shopping or taking a walk in the park, but at night, the red neon signs, prostitutes and gangsters crawling out of the alleys, secretly distributed drugs, legal and illegal to the gambling dens that cross the .

It turns into a demonic realm where drunkards, gangsters, prostitutes, drug dealers and gamblers coexist at once, so Luna’s parents even educate their children to never go to Area 53 at night.

However, there were immature young people who dreamed of escaping everywhere, and there were endless people who wanted to enjoy pleasure or forget stress, so District 53 is still in business today.

“Thanks to that, the work never ends.”

John, who took a deep breath, continued to speak with a gentle force on the tip of his toe.

“What do you think?”

“Turn it off.”

Not only the men lying on the floor with limbs that had been exchanged for prostheses, but also the man who was being pressed by John on the back of his neck did not answer, but John did not care.

Because I wasn’t expecting an answer.

In one corner of the messy office, synthetic drugs emitting dangerous light were lined up, and John clicked his tongue when he saw them.

“yes. The drug dealer makes money. I’m not in a position to say anything about that.”

After removing his foot from the neck of the boy who was called the boss, John stepped forward at a slow pace.

“Still, you shouldn’t be making something that can be called medicine. We should avoid making people tired by distributing such nonsense.”

John held out his hand in front of synthetic drugs and manufacturing devices that emitted dangerous light.

“You dog! Ha, don’t!”

Realizing what John’s behavior meant, the boss frowned with bloodshot eyes, but John didn’t stop.

A strange light appeared in John’s eyes, and heat rose around John’s hand as it touched the manufacturing device.

hook!

It didn’t take long for the red-hot surface to catch fire, and it spread throughout the manufacturing equipment and synthetic drugs.

“Aagh!”

The boss, whose limbs were all cut off, rolled on the floor and screamed, and the fire that seemed to spread throughout the room burned down only the synthetic drugs and manufacturing equipment and disappeared like a lie.

Wondok’s light flowed in his eyes as he glared at John, but John, who was still holding on to his calm attitude, bent his knees and met the boss’s eyes.

“Next time you go into this business, scout out a decent pharmacist or alchemist. What is this? To make the parents of a kid who messed up with you drugs put in a contract.”

At the words of John’s accusation, the boss stood up bloody with a stern face, but the rest of the gang members secretly turned their heads.

Even at the bottom of life, there is such a thing as losing face.

They have nothing to lose and commit illegal acts like a meal, but as much as they are, they must keep the line like a knife, and only then will they be recognized by the people in the industry.

However, in the current situation, they were in a state of retaliation for claiming and selling defective products to ordinary citizens for nothing, so they had nothing to say.

“I will avenge you! son of a b*tch! I won’t let you go!”

However, the boss of an organization must have a unique side.

The bubble-gathering boss, glaring at John with glowing eyes, didn’t seem like a normal-minded person.

His bold determination and fiery personality may have been the driving force behind Lee Ja’s dominance of the organization, but John had an expression of absurdity.

“Is it anger control disorder? You guys are fine too.”

At the attitude of the boss, who was acting like a goon and swearing, members of the organization, who had also lost their limbs and collapsed, made faces of liberation.

“Slum bastard! A son of a b*tch who is not even dust dares to… kuk!”

At the time when the boss’s swearing went too far and he was spewing out curse words endlessly, a revolver with a caliber that was incomparably ferocious dug into the boss’s mouth.

“eww! Ugh!”

The boss’ flushed face turned white as if he had come to his senses only when the cold gun barrel dug into his mouth, and John continued, muttering that he had a funny talent.

“yes. But even the trash in the slums don’t say that this is medicine.”

John, who glared at the boss with pitiful eyes, continued.

“You can’t even read the atmosphere there.”

Clap!

John’s fingers pulled the hammer, and the members of the gang turned their heads in anticipation of what was about to happen.

“Aww!”

He could hear the boss talking loudly, but John didn’t care.

“Next time you work in the industry, be sure to pay attention to product quality. And live while killing your temper.”

bang!

As expected, John’s finger pulled the trigger, and the 50BMG shot blew off the boss’s head with a sound too loud to be called a gun.

“What. I don’t know what’s next.”

John stood up after wiping his revolver, smeared with brain sap, blood and oil, on the hem of his former boss’ corpse.

“You don’t do that.”

Leaving behind the members who nodded fiercely, John left the room.

“after.”

In Luna, which is always dark, warm sunlight was shining down, which was rare, but John was not particularly impressed.

Perhaps he was aware of selling nonsensical things, but for a small group, he was very careful about security, so he had to show his footing.

“Tsk.”

Considering the amount paid to the informant and the commission Miller was taking, John was not in a good mood because he was practically not even making pocket money, but he thought it was inevitable and moved on.

“zone.”

“Curtis.”

It was Curtis and the police who stopped John as he moved.

It’s been three months since he settled in District 53, but he still met Curtis’ eyes, ignoring the public security guards who were glaring at him with wary eyes.

“You’ve been diligent since daytime.”

“That’s what work is.”

Curtis laughed at John’s shrug and pulled out a cigarette.

“Will you smoke one?”

“I just burned it. I only accept sincerity.”

Curtis lit it, but then inhaled it deeply.

“after. nice But John.”

“say.”

“I came out after receiving complaints that it was making quite a loud noise.”

Curtis’s eyes narrowed narrowly, emitting a sharp light.

“Is it something to do with you?”

“yes.”

Most of the security guards in Area 53 are kids, but some, including Curtis, cannot be ignored, and John, of course, had no intention of ignoring him.

“I got the job through an agency. finished”

“yes?”

It was not normal for John to confess to the police in broad daylight about the murder, and for Curtis to accept it calmly.

“Should I see you again for this?”

“I don’t think that will happen.”

Curtis glared at John with a piercing light, and he saw the police officers standing behind him stiffen their faces and put their hands on their weapons, but John’s face didn’t change.

“yes. If you are, then you are.”

Curtis, who tapped John on the shoulder, moved on, followed by the police, who were still glaring at John with fearful eyes.

John looked at her for a moment, then moved on again.

Luna’s sky, which had been giving off a bright light for a long time, began to become gloomy again.

Miller’s office was located in a decent location in Area 53.

There were only shops for shopping around, so they were using the upper floors of buildings where not a lot of gangsters could come in, and thanks to that, fixers who signed a contract with Miller had a penalty to always keep themselves neat, but other than that, most of them were contracts with Miller. was satisfied with

Of course, John didn’t even think of that as a penalty.

“Come. zone.”

“Miller.”

Miller, with a sophisticated-looking suit, straight hair, and intelligent face, greeted John with a smile.

“Looks like things worked out well. Really, if my other friends did as well as you, I would be less concerned.”

“I’m not talking about work, I’m talking about clothes.”

John sat down on the big sofa with a sad expression on his face.

John’s attire was also not very different from Miller’s.

The ill-fitting suit, the trench coat on top of it, the neatly polished shoes, and the relatively well-groomed features were completely different from the impression of a typical fixer.

“Isn’t a fixer working only when there is a client in the end? In that respect, other friends lack the spirit of service.”

At John’s words, Miller shook his head and replied in a voice full of conviction.

John himself is used to this kind of costume, but most of the solvers have strong personalities.

It could have been because of his fighting style, or it could have been because of his worn-out spirit while working as a solver, but most of them don’t have an easily credible first impression.

However, the middleman cannot be very involved in the fixer’s attire.

Miller was always dissatisfied with that part, but he was intensively complaining to John, who did not go against Miller’s way.

“Evidence?”

“here.”

Miller, who was handed the photo through the terminal, examined the evidence and nodded in satisfaction.

“Good job. zone. The client will be satisfied too.”

“The client and you are satisfied, but I am dissatisfied.”

Miller smiled, guessing why John was grumbling.

He liked the first impression, but this solver, who had no choice but to verify because of his origins, satisfied his heart over the past time.

There were many fixers who were good at their work, but it was rare to find a fixer who was clean until the end, and John was that kind of fixer, and he rarely talked about the tasks he had taken on so far.

In addition to the neat outfit, Miller made up his mind.

“Don’t do that too much. zone. Instead, I will give you good news.”

“Well?”

Miller opened his mouth, imagining John’s surprise.

“I found the person you asked for.”

Watching John’s eyes widen, who hadn’t changed at all, Miller gave a small smile.
