chapter 32
Shadow of Seoul (2)
“Come on, here.”
A man in a mask held out an envelope and a tablet.
I first turned the envelope over and took out the contents.
Three lottery papers that come with it.
“Rounds and winning numbers. check it out now Don’t gossip later.”
“Hmmm…”
The lottery information site was turned on on the tablet.
That means you have to check it out and see for yourself.
I indifferently put the tablet aside and took out one lottery ticket I had prepared for the last round.
Then, with the cannon phone I brought with me, I took a QR code and compared it with the three first-place papers.
“…don’t do useless tricks. This is also a business of trust.”
There is nothing wrong with the QR code… Next is the amount.
2.8 billion, 2.2 billion, 1.5 billion.
As a result of comparing the numbers on the site, there was a slight difference in the amount, but no particular problem was found.
This time, I picked up the winning papers one by one and took a closer look.
“Aren’t you playing some other prank?”
“That’s the way you do it while looking at the other person. I have no intention of risking my life.”
‘I’m not saying I don’t do it at all.’
I looked at them carefully, left the envelopes alone, and put only the winning papers in the Aspace bracelet.
First of all, Heinz’s “Blood Magic” did not detect any abnormalities.
Even with the vampire’s sensitive sense of smell, no special drugs were felt.
‘I’ll have to test one more time with Hans’s 「Black Magic」 in a far away place later.’
It’s probably more certain that Hans, who specializes in magic, inspects himself rather than Heinz.
It’s not all that strong, isn’t it?
“Oh, and I want to find a new identity. May I ask for an introduction?”
I continued pushing the empty envelope and tablet back to him.
Because Han Sung-hyun couldn’t receive all of the three first prizes.
Even if Han Seong-hyun received the largest amount of 2.8 billion won, he needed an identity to receive the other two instead.
If not, once you have it, it will help you in some way.
“Isn’t that what they were doing there?”
“It was. Until the wind blows this time.”
Human trafficking and organ trafficking.
Naturally, they had no choice but to be closest to the ‘missing people’, and it was also the organization’s main task to wash their ownerless identities.
“We have enough data, but the technicians are completely ripped off. I can’t seem to get in touch with the rest of them because they’re scared.”
Reading memories is not omnipotent either.
The more I forcibly searched in my head, the more my brain was strained, and the loss of information was inevitable.
So, you have to prioritize information and read it, but at that time, there was no interest in thugs who create fake identities…
“If so. I will let you know about this as a service.”
Then he handed out a piece of paper with the names and contact information of several people.
I grabbed it and got up from my seat.
“Then let’s go see.”
“I hope to see you again next time.”
“That one too.”
We simply said goodbye.
It was a blessing from this floor that we should meet again without getting stabbed to death somewhere.
Click—
When I opened the door I had come in, a young man with an ordinary impression was waiting outside and showed me the way out.
It was a pretty satisfying trip.
‘By the way, it would be convenient to have an organization. Where would you like to be? These guys look pretty useful too…’
As I followed the young man who was guiding me, I looked around and savored my palate.
***
“Whoa—.”
The man took off his mask and wiped his face.
Then he patted his fingers on the table and fell into thought.
“I, the branch manager. It’s about that yangban earlier…”
One of the subordinates who was assisting me during the transaction cautiously opened his mouth.
“yes. know. No matter how you look at it, doesn’t it look like you’re not affiliated with the company?”
“Yes. That’s right. . . . Wouldn’t it be better to investigate?”
‘Sanghoe’ was an abolition of the now-destroyed human trafficking organization.
Who the hell is it that they even lied and call themselves that organization?
“No, it’s okay. Just get your hands off it.”
“Yes? Would you mind?”
“What else can’t be done? You know because you were together. Let’s not risk our lives for nothing.”
What was the reason they traded with each other in the first place?
Isn’t it for a more secure and sustainable transaction by filtering out trap investigations and slurs?
“However, no matter how you look at it, he’s not a yangban man.”
“Certainly, when I threatened earlier, I was choked. Even though I couldn’t see it from my side.”
“Is not it? It’s because I’m a demon (魔人). Perhaps a vampire.”
“Eh, was that so?”
The branch manager remembered that time.
The pale skin, sharp bloody eyes, and the suffocating smell of blood.
‘Perhaps he deliberately revealed his identity. For a warning. Is a vampire a clan? Maybe it’s the Buncheonhoe side.’
“If that’s the case, what’s your real identity like? If we got a new customer and we’re done with the deal, that’s it. Did you earn some money this time? I want to become a regular.”
There’s nothing good about touching a dangerous human for nothing.
It was the wisdom of life for those who have survived until now in the back alleys.
***
At midnight, the outskirts of Seoul without people.
Koo-!
[Chikhik…]
Tickle- Tickle!
A group of undead surrounded the abandoned factory and rushed into the interior.
“A request for assistance? What happened?!”
“No contact! Phone, internet, everything works! Totally isolated!”
“Oh my gosh—! Everyone get ready for battle!”
The manager of the factory here, commonly known as the factory manager, shouted while grinding his teeth.
They are hiding now, but they have survived all the antenatal care.
He was a superior being with a different level of power than inferior humans.
“Creung—”
The factory manager’s body swells and grows in size.
He tore off the stuffy top that restrained his enlarged upper body and tore off the bottom of his pants.
He tossed the ripped shoes off and took a deep breath.
A wolf face with a muscular body over 2 meters and sharp teeth.
It was a returnee who returned as a werewolf from another world, ‘Main’.
“Ugh…”
“Kick kick. Lord, I will kill you… hehehehe.”
His subordinates were not normal either.
Like a factory manager, a person in the form of a werewolf, a vampire with blood-colored eyes and long fangs, a person with snake scales on his skin, etc…
It wasn’t that there were still people who took human form, but the madness that filled their eyes was no different from those of outsiders.
Quang!
Finally, the undead who killed those who guarded the outskirts flocked to the deep end.
Blood dripping teeth and nails.
In the meantime, there were also people who were familiar with the factory manager.
“Uh-huh…. Bitch, you really got it right.”
[Kihihihi—]
There, the pale-skinned factory perimeter guard was smiling, bleeding dark red from every hole in his face.
He was a strong man who couldn’t be superior to himself…
‘Did you make them all undead in this brief moment?’
It’s been a while since I’ve called for assistance while catching up on the raid and wasting time outside.
When the factory manager was prepared for a decisive battle by grinding his teeth, the group of undead split and a human entered inside.
A mask with a strange smile reflected inside a dark robe and a pressed hood.
The blue naturalization (鬼fire) flowing from the eye sockets and the chill gushing out like mist.
It was as if an ominous creature had been formed in the form of a human.
‘No, was it a human right?’
The factory manager shuddered with fear.
The instinct that became stronger as a werewolf was screaming.
The existence in front of me is a monster that can never be resisted.
[Indeed, there is nothing more to see. You are all slaughter.]
The being who attacked the factory, Hans looked around.
A large number of demons surrounded by the undead, the space they are in…
[The sound of the dead is unstoppable from all directions. It’s been a long time since a space filled with death like this…]
It was just an ordinary meat processing plant.
Except that the target is a human, not a livestock.
From devices for drawing blood to devices for crushing bones.
It even had its own assortment.
“Kihit! You’re also a demon, so what are you pretending to be clean? It is essential to our survival!”
“Humans slaughter livestock, so why shouldn’t we? Isn’t it the providence of nature to eat weak meat?”
Some of the demons who were pushed from the momentum shouted as if they were trying to shake off their fears…
Hans did not dare to answer their protests.
I didn’t feel the need to talk to crazy people who were going to die soon anyway.
‘Still, there were survivors. It must have been to maintain their freshness.’
The undead dispatched to the warehouse reported finding people trapped there.
His health didn’t look bad, so he ordered them to stay there for now.
And Hans looked at the demons who were talking hard as if to assert their innocence.
[Yeah, it’s good to eat weak meat.]
A cold voice like a whisper from the devil.
Those who were talking hard about him closed their mouths without realizing it.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
[Your body looks very shabby. I will become a great undead.]
Take a look inside your head as well.
It’s a weak and strong meal, and it’s absolutely necessary, so they won’t have any complaints either.
At Hans’s instructions, the undead rushed to them.
Click! Moongrass!
“Aww! Only on the subject of a corpse!”
[Kihihik! Kiya ha ha ha!]
“Creung, I’ll tear it apart!”
Taang- Tang! bang-!
As the demons survived through all kinds of battlefields, they did not fall easily even against the undead.
Some even take out their guns and shoot them.
Hans, who had no intention of prolonging the fight, intervened immediately.
[Kihyaa
“Ugh, these guys suddenly have power…!”
A black crown was placed on Hans’s head, and a pitch-black aura spread and inhabited the undead.
Aww—
“aah! hurt! body! my body!”
“I can’t see the front, I can’t see the front! I can’t hear anything! My, am I talking? Can’t you all hear me?!”
All kinds of cursed energy that had spread out at his light gestures attacked the demons, neutralizing them one by one.
One by one the demons fall.
After the last captive factory manager, there were no more resisters left.
“Ughhhh… Hahoe mask was like this…”
The factory manager muttered as he was dragged in front of Hans while being suppressed by the undead.
As the rumors about the Hahoe Mask spread, I knew about its existence, but I never thought it would be this overwhelming.
Another problem was that the factory was quite far from the area where Hahoe Mask was active, and the attack was not expected because it was thoroughly hidden.
It is a fact that he cannot understand because he does not know that Hans hunts mines and reads his memories to track down the people involved.
[Come on, don’t be too embarrassed. I am the lord of death, you will find rest and you will be my strength forever.]
Hans said kindly and stroked the head of the factory manager.
It was counterproductive, but his trembling only got worse.
[Of course, you have to pay the bill before that, right? It will sting a little. It doesn’t hurt that much, so don’t worry.]
The black leather gloves that had been stroking his hair grabbed his hair.
Immediately, black magic entered his mind.
[Of course, I don’t know because I haven’t tried it. 👑👑👑 . . ]
“Ouch—aah—!”
Ripped screams and body twitching.
The undead that were lying down on his body shook.
After some time passed, the scream that had been going on for quite some time, as long as the werewolf’s tenacious vitality, gradually subsided.
When the undead who suppressed him retreated, he stood up, bleeding from his body.
[It’s good because it’s also strong. So who will be next?]
The subdued mines shed a cold sweat while avoiding Hans’ gaze.
Even if it’s only for a short period of time, the only thing you can get.
After that for quite a long time.
Surrounded by barriers, only screams that could not be resonated outside echoed empty inside the factory.
