Chapter 69 – 069. Vampire Detective
069. Vampire Detective
‘… I couldn’t kill him.’
Moon Ji-hyeok gritted his teeth. In fact, he tried to shoot Doris with his revolver. I tried to kill it by aiming at the back of the head, but accidentally stepped on the fallen leaves on the floor and made a rustling sound.
‘I missed a golden opportunity.’
Doris teleports out of sight. Fortunately, I didn’t move far, so I was able to figure out Doris’s location right away. Mun Ji-hyeok pointed the revolver at Doris behind a tree.
“Vampire Hunter… ? No, that reaction speed is close to that of a vampire.”
Doris simply judged whether Moon Ji-hyeok was a human or a vampire based on his reaction speed.
‘They say he’s a Kantra executive… It’s not normal.’
Moon Ji-hyeok tensed up and held a knife in his left hand. It is a silver-plated knife that I received from Taker before.
“If you are a vampire, why are you disturbing me? I am Doris Ziegler. It is the 14th true blood of Kantra. Who the hell are you?”
“There is no reason to name you. I will take the life orb.”
Moon Ji-hyeok saw the angle. Even if you can’t kill Doris here, you must take the Life Orb.
“You are over-the-top greedy. You nameless vampire.”
Doris used teleportation to catch Moon Ji-hyeok behind. Mun Ji-hyeok reacted quickly and swung the knife backwards, but Doris lightly dodged and grabbed Mun Ji-hyeok by the wrists and pushed them against a tree.
“Keugh.”
“This power…. It’s not Jinjo. … How did you know about the life globe? Who’s behind you….”
Bang!
Moon Ji-hyeok’s revolver spewed fire. I turned my wrist so that it would break, and I forcibly made an angle and pulled the trigger. A silver bullet grazed Doris’ left shoulder.
“Kaaaaa… !”
Doris used teleportation to back away from Jihyeok Moon. Doris looked over her left shoulder and frowned.
Silver bullets are too deadly for vampires. Even if it is only brushed, the silver poison eats away at the body. At this rate, I couldn’t move my left shoulder for at least 10 minutes.
‘Who is that guy? Where did the information leak from? Did Kang Wook-seong betray you?’
My brain gets complicated in an instant. He thought it was the vampire hunters who followed him in the morning. But isn’t that the vampire hunter side? Then who is it?
‘Only one vampire has information about the life orb… There is no way they know any information about me. Whether it’s a traitor or a new organization, we need to find out.’
Invisible organization. For the sake of Kantra’s future, we need to find out the information.
Doris’s expression immediately contorted. It was because he ran recklessly toward the flower of life.
“Oh, no!”
Doris hurriedly appeared in front of Moon Ji-hyeok using teleportation. He kicks Moon Ji-hyeok in the abdomen and blows him away.
Moon Ji-hyeok flew backwards and hit a tree and rolled on the floor. Doris is a jinjo. Aside from superpowers, there was a difference in physical abilities.
“You’re also a vampire, so even if you don’t have arms or legs, you won’t die. After retrieving the Flower of Life, I will slowly dig up the information!”
“Well. I’m curious about the young man’s background.”
“Who are you!”
Doris turned her head to the right. There was someone else
Bassack Bassak. He slowly emerged as he stepped on fallen leaves. It was a man wearing a coat of arms. He wears a sword at his waist. They have costumes and weapons that don’t match the times.
“…… Baeksanggi?”
Seeing him, Doris muttered in disbelief.
“Do you know me?”
“…… I heard from the boss There is a monstrous vampire slayer on the Korean Peninsula. However, the boss said that he would have committed suicide because he couldn’t overcome the years. By the way… Were you still alive?”
“I will die soon.”
Baeksanggi approached him. Doris pulled a knife from his pocket and threw it at the white flag. A knife imbued with the great power of Jinjo.
A knife was pulled out from Baeksanggi’s waist and lightly struck the knife. When the white flag tried to run, Doris kicked his tongue and stepped back from him. While not taking his eyes off Doris, Baek Sang-gi spoke to Moon Ji-hyeok behind him.
“Are you all right, young man?”
Moon Ji-hyeok forced himself to stand up while leaning against a tree. He ached all over his body with one of Doris’ kicks. Had he been human, he would have died instantly.
“Who are you?”
Moon Ji-hyeok asked politely. The man Doris called the Vampire Slayer earlier.
“It’s called white flag. I have many questions to ask… Bury them all and ask only one. What are you trying to do with the life globe?”
“…… I want to go back to being human.”
“It’s been a while since I met a young man I liked. What is your name?”
“My name is Jihyeok Moon.”
“That’s a good name. You will become a human today. See you there.”
The white flag moved. He walked slowly, moving his legs quickly and starting to run. Doris bit his lip and glanced at the Flower of Life.
‘The second one hasn’t even come to fruition yet.’
You can use teleportation to escape with the life orb. His ability is unmatched when it comes to running away.
However, there is no way you can be satisfied with just one. How he was looking forward to this day. If not, you should take two.
Safety and greed.
Doris chose greed.
The blades of the sword and the knife collided in the air. A repetitive metallic sound echoed and orange sparks flew.
Doris has the upper hand in physical ability.
‘But why am I being pushed back?!’
The combat experience was on a different level.
When Doris wants to push with power and speed, the white flag’s sword moves exquisitely and drains his power. And the knife, aiming for the gap, cuts Doris’ body. He acted in a hurry so he wasn’t cut too deeply. However, it is clear that the wounds will increase as time goes by.
Doris was grateful that the white flag’s sword was not silver. If that sword had even been silver-plated, the odds of winning were zero.
“His left shoulder doesn’t seem to move very well.”
“Why did a monster like you suddenly appear? Did you covet the flower of life?”
“I’m not interested in the life orb, but as humans, shouldn’t we prevent the life orb from passing to you true blood demons?”
“He’s more like a monster than a vampire.”
“It’s something I’ve heard a long time ago, so I’m not very impressed.”
After Doris swung the knife, she immediately used teleportation.
It could be said that it was the best surprise attack to appear from behind while swinging. However, this time the knife was blocked.
“Nonsense, how….”
“True blood. I know your superpower because I saw it before. If you know it, you can prepare for it, and if you can prepare for it, it won’t be a problem to prevent it.”
It’s bullshit This is a blow that can’t be stopped without even knowing it. The white flag stopped Doris’s attack because of the tremendous experience accumulated in its body.
At that time. Moon Ji-hyeok moved. He was quietly approaching the flower of life, and suddenly he started running with all his might.
“This guy!”
Doris shouted at Mun Ji-hyeok.
“You sold your eyes on me. You have plenty of room.”
The sword of the white flag cut off Doris’ left arm. Her left arm fell to the floor.
Doris used teleportation. Right now, the left arm is not important. Appearing on top of Mun Ji-hyeok, he grabbed Mun Ji-hyeok by the head with his right arm and slammed it to the floor.
“Die! You don’t even know my subject!”
Just as Doris’s right fist was about to land on Mun Ji-hyeok’s head to explode, Baek Sang-ki jumped up and brandished his sword. Doris hurriedly stomped on the floor and retreated.
“White flag!”
“Did I look so ridiculous that you could ignore me, Bloodsucker.”
Jihyeok Moon put his palms on the floor and raised his head. His skin was torn and his nose was sunken, and his face was a mess. He raised his upper body while shaking his body.
Ten steps.
There was a flower of life just ten steps ahead.
“Yes, young man. That’s the will Go and take the life orb.”
“You bastard! Stop! The flower of life produces up to 4 life beads! Don’t you know that?!”
Doris yelled.
Baeksanggi clicked his tongue. I want to go and shut him up, but if I get out of Moon Ji-hyeok’s vicinity, it is clear that Doris will try to kill him by teleportation.
“…… Four?”
Moon Ji-hyeok hesitated.
I have heard of the effect of the Life Orb.
If it’s four, he’ll have half of that left even if he eats two himself.
“I advise you as an old man. Greed only brings anger.”
Baeksanggi said.
“…… I will be human.”
Moon Ji-hyeok said, resisting greed, and Baek Sang-gi grinned.
“This fool… !”
Doris burst into anger and grabbed the knife in her one remaining right hand and looked at Baek Sang-gi.
Moon Ji-hyeok stumbled and walked forward. He was getting closer and closer to the Flower of Life. The distance of ten steps became the distance of five steps, and five steps soon became a distance that could be reached with an outstretched hand.
“Stop! Detective Moon!”
Familiar voice. It’s a taker
Moon Ji-hyeok felt a little welcome and raised his head in the direction of the voice.
“…… !”
There was Seong Yu-jin, the taker, holding Yang Jung-min’s mouth with her left hand and holding a red blade to her throat.
“Taker… ?!”
Moon Ji-hyeok sat down. His legs gave way at the unbelievable sight before his eyes. His brain is unable to accept the information he sees in front of his eyes.
Why is Taker with Yang Jung-min? And that red sword he’s holding.
“…… That knife. Were you red light?”
Seong Yu-jin looked at Baek Sang-gi.
Soon after, Seong Yu-jin smiled and said.
“Right. I am red light.”
To Moon Ji-hyeok, the words were like lightning.
•••
Through the original drama, I knew where Doris would plant the flower of life in Mt. Seorak.
Three days ago, she even made a preliminary survey to confirm the location. Even that was not enough, so I even installed a wiretapping device under a nearby stone.
I looked at Yang Jung-min next to me. Yang Jeong-min was wearing a police uniform because he had left early. He is an uncomfortable-looking outfit for mountain climbing.
“Mr. Yang Jung-min. This way.”
I moved with Yang Jung-min while focusing on the sound of the wiretapping device with the wireless earphone in my left ear. The important thing is to get the timing right.
When Moon Ji-hyeok fights with Doris, he snips his Life Orb. Then, when a variable occurs, Yang Jung-min is taken as a hostage. What if there are no variables? After obtaining the Orb of Life as planned, kill Mun Ji-hyeok and commit Yang Jung-min.
However, a variable occurred on the way up the mountain. This was a really, completely unexpected variable.
‘… What. Why is that bastard here?’
I found a man who quietly and quickly climbed the mountain. His face was not properly identified, but his identity was inferred from the black applique he was wearing.
White flag.
A man who appears as if he is passing by in the original drama. Judging by the length of the video, he wouldn’t have been out for even a minute.
‘It was set up to eat the life orb 300 years ago.’
According to rumors floating around, it is said that originally, Baeksanggi had quite a bit of weight. However, there were rumors that the male idol who played the role of Baek Sang-ki was not good at his acting, so he lost weight.
‘Actually, I wasn’t good at acting.’
Did he say he was a legendary vampire hunter on the Korean Peninsula? To be honest, I don’t know the details either. It was so small, and there was no content about Baek Sang-gi in the interview with the director or writer.
‘…… Did something go wrong?’
“Mr. Taker?”
“Ah, Yang Jung-min. Sorry. I’ve been thinking for a while. Let’s go quickly.”
The sounds of battle were heard through the wiretaps. As expected, Moon Ji-hyeok and Doris are fighting. Now is the best time to step out. But I couldn’t get out. Because there is a white flag hiding nearby.
“Mr. Taker. What are you doing when you suddenly stop? There’s no time to be idly by. Now Jihyeok… Eupup?!”
She covered her mouth with her left hand and brought the blade of the fire lily blade from the inventory to her throat.
“Be quiet if you don’t want to die.”
“…… !”
Yang Jung-min looked at me as if he was surprised. Seeing the red blade on his neck, he seemed to recognize that I was a red light. But I couldn’t afford her to care about her.
While concentrating on the sound of the wiretapping machine, Yang Jung-min covers his mouth and quietly approaches the battle area.
“You bastard! Stop! The flower of life produces up to 4 life beads! Don’t you know that?!”
I heard Doris shouting. When I heard that, I paused.
“Under….”
A fact I was completely unaware of. In the original drama, Moon Ji-hyeok gets it when a life marble is formed.
‘Did such a setting exist? Fuck. Why didn’t the drama director or writer reveal that?’
Settings not disclosed by the creators. It was a gap I had never thought of before.
‘Four! 4 life marbles!’
In the distance, Ji-hyeok Moon is seen trying to pick up the Orb of Life, which has only one flower yet.
‘That stupid bastard!’
I stepped forward. I had no choice but to step out.
“Stop! Detective Moon!”
