138 – Chase
Two days have passed since the unidentified being went on the rampage.
The traces of destruction still left huge scars.
Collapsed buildings are everywhere and smoke from burning fires rises into the sky.
Common sense tells us that if two days have passed, it would be normal to clean things up right away.
We will assume the scale of damage, measure the extent of destruction, and make efforts to fix it.
However, only civilians are prevented from entering the site.
No appropriate measures were taken.
The reason was simple.
Because one of the large organizations that were supposed to be in charge was destroyed.
Of course, it was the association that suffered the most damage from this monster incident.
It was not just collapsed, it was almost destroyed.
‘… Most of the association’s executives were crushed to death.’
According to Yuan Joun’s research, it was the day when a huge monster descended and went on a rampage.
Unfortunately, it is said that most of the leading figures of the association were together.
I don’t know exactly what was exchanged, but Ichimaru Ken was most likely captured by Choi Si-woo and disappeared, leaving behind only an emergency code.
And the Mountain and Sea Police, etc., Who continue to exert economic pressure.
He must have been tinkering with various issues.
The important thing is here.
It doesn’t matter what they plan.
The problem is that that ridiculous monster appeared on the very day the protagonists gathered together.
Coincidence? Could that be possible?
―Probably everything will go as planned by the bastard. I don’t know who it is, but… It’s probably someone who has a bad feeling about us, or even more, about the association.
Choi Si-woo also agreed with Yuen’s words.
Because he looked exactly like that.
Anyway, when the association collapsed, the government was also in turmoil, and it was said that measures for this place were taking a backseat.
“…Hey, nice to see you again.”
Choi Si-woo returned to reality at the sound of the voice he heard.
‘Is it you again…? There was a middle-aged man looking at me with an expression that said,
Joo Dong-sik.
He was codenamed ‘Heavy Smoker’ and was a retired hero who held the position of branch leader.
And in the past, he was the one who blocked Choi Si-woo’s path as he tried to enter a ‘dream’.
“Ciburel. Why do these stupid things keep happening while I’m staying?”
Joo Dong-sik stroked his smooth upper hair and sighed deeply.
Soon, he glanced at Choi Si-woo and moved out of his way.
“…Are you okay?”
“Hey, young man! Even though I look like this, I’m the type of person who gets noticed! Anyway, even if I stop you here, I’ll call Inspector Hasman or someone higher up and tell you to get out of the way.”
Joo Dong-sik held a cigarette in his arms and took a puff.
“I don’t want to get killed as a bonus. Just how strong has he become? When I saw him back then, he was a master at it… But now I can’t even feel it.”
Joo Dong-sik gestures with a tired face as if to go away.
Choi Si-woo, who was about to enter while expressing his gratitude, stopped for a moment and looked at him.
“…What? What? Can I at least give you cigarettes? These are high-end items.”
“…Gulp…”
Hmm, that sounds a bit appealing…
I haven’t even been able to smoke a single cigarette these days, so this was an offer that was more surprising than I expected.
▶Master. It’s not possible!
“Heavy Smoker.”
“Why are you bringing up my old name?”
“-Are you not interested in becoming a hero again?”
“…What?”
Choi Si-woo smiled and briefly told him a fascinating story.
The more he listens, the more Joo Dong-sik’s eyes widen.
*
It’s serious.
This was Choi Si-woo’s first impression upon entering the scene of the incident.
It looks so ruined that it is difficult to find clean places here and there.
The burning flames that could not be extinguished contained magical power and were causing red flames.
Below, swarms of flies, attracted by the scent of the corpse and the blood stains that indicate gore, are infested.
▶… From what I heard, the casualties were minimal.
It makes no sense to say that there were no innocent victims when such a large man went on a rampage in the first place.
I think it took about 10 minutes.
Choi Si-woo frowned at the lingering scent of dark magic energy that he could not hide.
Horrible.
And yet, it is a lump of demonic energy that vomits.
Thanks to you, I was able to be confident once again.
‘Black sheep.’
There was no doubt that he had a unique energy.
However, that was why I was curious.
He is ranked 5th in Yukma Yeokcheon that he knows.
The black sheep was a quick and neat guy.
He is a guy who absolutely hates messy and complicated ways of doing things.
This is probably due to the nature of the thing, which exists only as a mental body without a physical body, and its fighting method of mental attack.
▶Don’t destroy and destroy everything indiscriminately like this… Is that right?
‘Oh, he was like that even in his past life until the very end. ‘There’s no doubt about it.’
It was then.
“…!”
The central area of the shattered Association.
The ground was filled with sharp marks, as if they had been cut by something sharp.
A trace full of unique curves.
It was definitely a knife mark.
Common sense tells us that there is no way a sword fight could have occurred in a place like this.
As a bonus, it looks like it was cut roughly… Choi Si-woo could tell that he had reached the ultimate point of his sword.
‘… ‘I left it on purpose.’
Reads the will of the tip of the sword along the tip of the hand.
Unique magic flows minutely through the hand from the engraved marks.
I soon sense that the flow continues somewhere far away.
‘… Is it an invitation?’
A clear message to follow.
After thinking about it, Choi Si-woo looked into his arms and took out a neatly folded piece of paper.
A dirty word left behind by Zhuge Lin before he fell.
Let’s take a look at what we managed to interpret after struggling with Kay for several days.
‘… ‘Three words.’
Huge.
Chimera.
And a specific pattern.
▶… Master is dangerous.
Kay, who is quick-witted, warns about what he is about to do.
‘There’s a saying that if you want to catch a tiger, you have to go into the tiger’s den, right?’
▶Then, along with others-
‘No,’
That shouldn’t be the case.
If the person behind this is really the man you know… The moment they come into a group, they will run away immediately.
And…
‘I also want to meet you in person.’
At least, I wanted to resolve my relationship with him alone.
*
A moment later, Choi Si-woo was making a phone call somewhere.
Tiririri-.
Only a ring tone rings with no response.
No, what on earth are you doing to not accept it?
From Noble mtl dot com
I guess I tried two more times.
The phone was finally connected.
“…Muaa?”
You will hear a unique signature sound that immediately tells you who it is.
You can also hear yawning and eye-rubbing sound effects, as if you haven’t woken up yet.
“Are you awake now, Master?”
“Meaaa, meaaat? Meaaat, meaaat…”
“Teacher. No matter how long I’ve been with you, I won’t be able to understand you if you just repeat ‘muaaa’.”
“Wow, really. This guy who is called a disciple has no sense. As soon as I hear it, I have to reply, ‘Aha! You need a set of 3 recently released game consoles, a double core pack, and a 9999 graphics card?’
In what world would Choi Si-woo be able to understand that?
Anyway, given the situation, I decided to get to the point.
In the continuing explanation, ‘Mua’, ‘Muua?’, ‘Meuungaa!’ Cecilia showing off a variety of variations.
The crane took off at the last word.
“In that sense, I need you to work one more time.”
“Mnungaa! I hate it! I hate it!”
Choi Si-woo continued to persuade Cecilia, who was acting unruly.
“No, Master. It’s dangerous? You’ve seen the news. If that monster goes on the rampage again, there will be only a few people, including you, who can actually stop it.”
“Meah!! I hate it, I hate it! This body is the legend of Link. We have to beat the final boss, Hondagon!”
It was a time when I was wondering what to do.
A different voice comes through the phone.
―Moa? What happened suddenly…
“Then, shall I go for you? Siu-kun?”
A s*xy voice, completely different from that of a young woman, is heard.
Who is this person?
“…Sylphia?”
“It’s been a long time~”
One of the three prosecutors.
Absolute Master. It was Silphia.
*
“Okay, then I’ll do that. Yes, yes, okay. Don’t worry. I’m taking care of this legit loli pudgy kid here.”
“Who’s the kid!”
“Oh my~ It looks like the little master is angry, yes. See you later, Siu. Bye~♡”
Sylphia ends her conversation with Choi Si-woo with a final kiss.
Cecilia, who was watching this, looked like she was going to throw up.
“…What are your intentions?”
Cecilia knew very well that this old maid who suddenly came in today was not a woman who would work for nothing.
“No, what~”
In response to her question, Silphia hummed her pleasant tune and pushed her hair back.
“At times like this, you can win some points from Siwoo.”
A unique face dripping with honey and a radiant luster.
It was the commonly referred to ‘female expression’.
Cecilia, who was watching, frowned, then let out a snort of laughter.
“hehehe~ No matter how you are, you are his one and only disciple. We are connected by a very strong bond!”
The young girl snorted as if to say, ‘There’s no way!’ And proudly spread out her bare breasts.
“You mean that…”
“Huh?”
“There’s no law saying you can only have one teacher, right?”
“……Mua?”
With a blush on her face, Sylphya smiled and crossed her arms.
Chuuu!
I emphasize this again.
Chuuu!
Overwhelming, violent, super big bang, dynamite, even bigger than that saintess Yurika! A 500-year-old test bag shakes with gravity.
“Mmm, mkuuu! Ah, no matter how much you shove such a vulgar milk bag in front of your student, it’s no use! I’ll say it again, my student and I have a close bond-“
“-Ah~ Well, it’s only been a year, so what… And in the end, Siwoo-kun is also a man in his prime, right?”
Sylphia lifted her pockets with both hands, as if she had no intention of hiding anything anymore.
Cecilia’s eyes are rotting as she looks.
“Even if you can’t form a teacher relationship, if you keep building relationships, you’ll go on dates, go out together, spend one night… Won’t that happen?”
“…M, M, M, M!?”
This, this, crazy b*tch!?
Cecelia was shocked.
Silphia, with her blush blooming, fell into her own world and let out a moan, ‘Ah~ ♡’.
“Yes, that’s right. They are a man and a woman~ You never know what might happen to each other~ And honestly, if you are a male as good and strong as Siwoo-kun, it would be better from a long-term perspective to mate with a beautiful and edible female like me and spread offspring. -“
“-Did you say everything!!!”
Like a cat that can’t stand it, he says ‘Haaa!’ A frightened Cecilia grabs the head of her Silfia.
“Uh, what?! You want to do it? Right!?”
“You damn old woman, not even worthy of your age!!”
In that way, the elegant conversation between the two prosecutors who were respected by everyone went on for a long time.
*
―Huh, okay. In short, it is a very, very critical crisis.
Over the phone, Yuen sighed and grumbled in frustration.
―No, how long has it been since the expo ended? What kind of six demonic heaven is descending this time?
“To be exact, it’s not Kangrim, but someone-“
―That’s it! As you said, I don’t know when he will appear again. I’m not telling you to wait in advance. Same with heroes.
“That’s right, let me ask you a favor. Something like this-“
―You have no one else to ask for but me? Aren’t you too concerned about that comment?
At the right moment, Choi Si-woo kept his mouth shut like a mute who had just eaten honey.
Beyond the phone, ‘This, this, this damn guy…’ ‘You will die one day surrounded by women.’ Horrible and cursed words are heard.
“No, Yuenyuan. What do you mean…”
―…… Anyway, I’m asking just in case…
Wien for moxibustion.
―…… Are you sure you don’t want to risk going in alone?
“……”
She is truly a scary woman.
No matter how many times the others could get past it, it was impossible to hide it from just one person.
“…Don’t worry. It’s not like that.”
However, Choi Si-woo did not bother to tell the truth.
This could be really dangerous.
―… What did you know? Anyway…
Be careful.
Choi Si-woo answered the last question with a smile and quietly closed the phone.
“Let’s go.”
▶Yes, Master.
Take a breath.
I ran quickly along the traces left behind.
