Chapter 7 - Judgment (2)

Chief Kim fell to the floor with a Pfff- sound. Kim returned to the form of a human being from the form of a giant animal. Kim’s body was covered with red blood on the floor.

“You couldn’t even fight back?”

Chief Kim died in vain. The man who took care of all the dirty things Jun-oh told him to do in his previous life. A big shot who was also his right-hand man when Kim Jun-oh became the king of the dark. But not anymore.

It was a feat that I wouldn’t have achieved without.

Lee Jin-Seong before regression was Kim’s hands and feet. His role was a secret weapon that assassinated local gang leaders or came to the fore in critical situations. So after Kim Jun-oh conquered the back world. Lee Jin-Seong belatedly finds out how Kim Joon-oh earned money.

He was the leader of a group that had been trafficking children and women. This garbage had also been selling organs to cover operating funds. And I found out that the children who came to the orphanage together died so miserable.

“Whoo…….”

I took a deep breath. I was Kim Jun-oh’s right-hand man, Kim’s killing was done too emotionally. There are so many people to kill, and it’s wrong to get carried away.

Lee Jin-Seong went to the director’s office, a little behind the scenes.

Gulp.

“……Lee Jin-Seong? What’s going on? I heard a loud noise.”

Choi Deok-gu, the orphanage director who was playing with revolvers, looked at Jin-Seong. And he confirmed that Lee Jin-Seong had a knife in his hand.

“Hey, what’s with that knife?!”

Surprised or not, I walked towards him quietly.

“It’s nothing. I killed a bug.”

At Jin-Seong’s words, Choi Deok-gu hurriedly pointed a pistol at him.

“What the fuck are you doing?” “…….”

Lee Jin-Seong stopped where he was.

Tension subsided in the director’s office.

No matter how hard it is, a pistol or revolver shot in the face is fatal. However, Lee Jin-Seong smiled leisurely.

“Why don’t you put the bullet in and aim?”

The face of Choi Deok-gu, who had a threatening face, turned pale.

Kirick!

Choi Deok-gu picked up the bullet on the table, pushing the revolving bullet aside. At the same time, Lee Jin-Seong jumped in.

Bang!

At that moment, Choi Deok-gu inserted the bullet at an unbelievable speed and pulled the trigger for Lee Jin-Seong’s forehead. Lee Jin-Seong hit the gun with his hand and put the blade into Choi Deok-gu’s shoulder at the same time.

Squeeze! Argh! Argh!

Choi Deok-gu, who was screaming in agony, fell back on his chair. Lee Jin-Seong pushed a blade into the Adam’s apple of Choi Deok-gu.

“Where is Kim Jun-oh?” “What… what’s wrong with you?! Why are you looking for the boss–”

Choi Deok-gu stared at Lee Jin-Seong with bloody eyes. However, Lee Jin-Seong showed his actions instead of words.

Cough!

Choi Deok-gu’s injured shoulder was poked with his thumb without hesitation.

Argh! Argh!

Choi Deok-gu screamed in terrible pain. Choi Deok-gu, who realized that Lee Jin-Seong was trying to kill him, began to stutter.

“I, I, I, don’t know!” “You don’t know?”

Blood flowed from the thick neck of Choi Deok-gu, who was scratched by the blade.

“It’s, it’s real! I swear to God! He only talks to Chief Kim, he never talks to me!”

Lee Jin-Seong thought when he saw Choi Deok-gu’s face with tears and runny nose and drooling.

The treatment of Choi Deok-gu was not good. Compared to Kim, Choi Deok-gu was always behind the scenes, and Choi Deok-gu was not in the organization when he rebelled.

‘Choi Deok-gu was always outside of Jun-oh’s eyes.’

But I already knew that, too.

“Get Lee Jin-woo.” “Lee, Lee Jin-woo…Why would I–”

Squeeze!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

My thumb dug through his wound once again.

“He doesn’t talk to me.” “Oh, I see……!”

Jin-Seong stepped back and threw chief Kim’s phone at Choi Deok-gu.

“Call him.”

Choi Deok-gu crawled on the floor and picked up the phone. Then he opened the phone in the folder phone and dialed the number Jin-Seong had already found and switched it to speaker mode.

Soon, Lee Jin-woo’s voice was heard. Lee Jin-woo was one of Kim’s favorite idiots.

Choi Deok-gu said, grinding his trembling voice.

“……Hello! Jin-woo……!”

“Yes, I am Director Choi…….” Why did Director Choi call through the manager’s phone?…?>

At that moment, Choi Deok-gu unconsciously looked up at Lee Jin-Seong and swallowed his saliva.

“Oh, it’s nothing else. Chief Kim just collapsed! On my way back from the dispatch, he was attacked!”

“Yes! I’ve only got one van, and it’s smashed! So hurry up and pick up Director Kim!”

“Yes! And bring some water on the way!”

Click.

And the phone call was over. At that moment, Choi Deok-gu sighed deeply.

“Was that okay?” “…….”

However, Lee Jin-Seong smiled.

“Why did you say something that I didn’t ask you to say?” “……Huh? What?” “Why did you tell him to bring water?” “Well, that’s because chief Kim is down, so…”

Push!

At that moment, Lee Jin-Seong stabbed Choi Deok-gu in the chest with a dagger.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkk…?!” “Do I still look like a baby? Like you can fool me with the word ‘water’?”

Choi Deok-gu looked at Lee Jin-Seong with calm eyes in the midst of stabbing. He realized that it felt completely different from the Lee Jin-Seong that he knew.

Lee Jin-Seong was no longer a doll or a robot that did as he was told.

“Who are you…….”

Only then did Choi Deok-gu realize that Lee Jin-Seong was different and asked. Lee Jin-Seong couldn’t resist a sneaking smile.

“A spectre back from the future.” “……What-”

(Sighs)

And Lee Jin-Seong slit Choi Deok-gu’s throat without hesitation.

Gasp… Gasp…….

Blood spilled out. Incredibly red blood poured down his throat. Choi Deok-gu grabbed Lee Jin-Seong’s shoulder and collapsed.

Kung…… Kugung…….

A human being who can’t be remembered except in orphanage days. To a man who lived like a fool and died like a fool. II gave him a faster rest.

Bang…

And now I’ve thrown a very bad combat knife to the floor. I walked out of the director’s office leaving Choi’s cold dead body.

Then I found the door to the safe room which was familiarly hidden.

Tukang……! When I ripped off Director Choi’s safe door, it was full of money bundles, precious metals, and various equipment. There were rifles, long swords, axes, and accessories, but they were all ostentatiously useless. Lee Jin-Seong walked without looking at them and picked up a sheath.

It was a rifle armor with a sturdy bulletproof plate. Toong, toong…

When I lightly hit it with my hands, the sound of iron hitting was small.

“……The pad is thin.”

Bulletproof plates prevent bullets, but the enormous impact of a rifle bullet must be reduced to a cushion. Otherwise, if you get hit with rifle bullets one after another, the intestines of ordinary people will become a mess.

It doesn’t matter.

Lee Jin-Seong was not an ordinary person. It was enough for me as long as the bullets don’t get into my vital organs.

And finally, I chose a dagger holder and a dagger that I could wear on my wrist. There were long swords, spears, and various weapons around, but it was inappropriate to use now.

‘Kim Jun-oh, I will snap your neck off.’

He was wearing a bulletproof vest and a bomber jacket he found in the office.

Squeak…

“…….”

Then, I could see some of the kids running wild over the hall from the office.

Lee Jin-Seong opened the door to the living hall.

Then there were skinny children huddling and shivering. As soon as he saw it, Lee Jin-Seong was emotional from the bottom of his heart.

“You guys… .. are free from now on.”

The students, who did not understand what Lee Jin-Seong meant, only looked at each other.

“You don’t have to work anymore.” “Really…? We don’t have to work?” “……you can sleep tight in the morning.” “Well, then how do we eat? We can’t eat if we don’t work.”

Lee Jin-Seong replied, looking at the shortest kid.

“You guys don’t have to work and can still eat.”

Then, the children’s faces were smirked. The children began to babble among themselves as if they were terrified by Lee Jin-Seong’s unfamiliar appearance.

Checking that, Lee Jin-Seong called his phone.

Hello. “It’s Lee Jin-Seong.”

Lee Yeo-jin, who heard Lee Jin-Seong’s voice, could not hide her happiness.

“No, never save it. Can you send the bus now?”

Straight to the point, Lee Yeo-jin, who already understood Lee Jin-Seong’s style of conversation, readily replied.

“Yes, call me when it arrives.”

Lee Jin-Seong hung up and called the children. And he showed the brightest smile he could make.

“It’s time to get out of hell.”

Then the children gazed and said.

“You’re weird.”

Lee Jin-Seong signed a contract with the king God. The king God has a terrifyingly high class. But Lee Jin-Seong realized something was wrong.

+ There is no magic to draw the power of an unnamed God. +

Lee Jin-Seong has never played mana before. Therefore, we could not expect the help of an unnamed God in this fight.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

It’s magic. He can build it up through training, and the power of Lee Jin-Seong is enough for the upcoming fight.

Lee Yeo-jin, who put all the children on the bus, smiled broadly.

“Of course…See you soon in Seoul, Jin-Seong. I’d love to treat you someday.” “All right.” “……May I ask where you’re going?”

Lee Jin-Seong didn’t get on the bus. He was going to kill Kim Jun-oh and all of his gang members today.

He didn’t tolerate an inch of anxiety.

However, he didn’t want to give Lee Yeo-jin any anxiety, so he told her other plans.

“I have to do something at the academy.….” “Oh….”

Come to think of it, Lee Yeo-jin realized that she knew nothing about Lee Jin-Seong except his name.

“If it’s a military academy… Are you an instructor or a professor?” “No, I’m a student.”

Lee Yeo-jin laughed at his answer. She thought Lee Jin-Seong was joking.

“Hey, cadets are only teenagers. How can a grown-up like you be a cadet?” “…….”

But Lee Jin-Seong’s expression was serious.

“Eh?”

Lee Yeo-jin felt a deep sense of incompatibility in the expression. This man has never made a joke before.

“Huh…? Military cadets can only be teenagers……?”

At that moment. Lee Jin-Seong’s skin caught her eye. It was too white and spotless to be over his 20s.

Only then did she realize that she had been completely mistaken. Lee Yeo-jin was surprised and covered her mouth with her hands.

“Don’t tell me…”

She stared at Lee Jin-Seong’s face. Cold impression and bold appearance. And Lee Yeo-jin never thought he would be younger than her because of the way he spoke.

“How old are you…Are you …?” “30… .. no, I’m 17.” “You’re a high schooler?! I thought you were older than me!”

Of course, it was 30-year-old Lee Jin-Seong who was inside, so in a way, it was an accurate judgment.

“Uh…… Now you look like a high schooler …… No, but you still look like an older brother, but what is this…….”

Lee Yeo-jin looked confused, but Jin-Seong, who thought his business was over, said his goodbye.

“Well, you should go ahead. I’ll go after seeing the bus leave.” “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..”

It was a very confusing aftershock, but she managed to pull herself together.

“Yes…… Please contact me when you come to Seoul…”….”

Lee Jin-Seong, who told her to leave right away, somehow felt cold, but Lee Yeo-jin nodded. The kids in the car were in really bad condition. So they needed to stop by the hospital first.

Lee Yeo-jin stood on the bus stairs and looked at the nursery’s sign hanging at the entrance of Somang Nursery School. It was ugly because it was old and fell apart, and beyond the vacant lot where weeds grew, there were all crumbling nursery buildings.

Somehow Lee Yeo-jin was unnerved by the sordid sight.

“You have to be safe.” “…….”

Lee Jin-Seong watched the bus door close without answering back. And I thought.

What will happen to me in the worst case scenario?

Although the size of Kim Jun-oh’s organization is still small, their boss and opener Kim Jun-oh’s ability is very powerful.

If Kim, his right-hand man, was a werewolf. Kim Jun-oh was an opener who burned his opponent by using “Dark Fire.” The approaching enemy explodes in flames. He was a very troublesome villain who chased the enemy with fireworks if they’d ran away.

And after opening up all of his potentials through Purple Heart. He turned half of downtown Seoul into a sea of fire.

The past Lee Jin-Seong would’ve been no match for him.

But not now.

-Chhhzzzz……!

Then, the bus began to move with the sound of the brake being released.

The children on the bus were waving at Lee Jin-Seong at the windows.

“…….”

Lee Jin-Seong captured the image moving away with his eyes.

After the bus left. Lee Jin-Seong stood in the open space of the orphanage and did not move a single step.

And a few hours later. It was at night.

Crumble…….

Black shadows were moving through the darkness with only cloudy moonlight.

The shadows were moving while hiding themselves. As soon as they found Lee Jin-Seong standing in the vacant lot, they revealed themself.

Before he knew it, they were surrounding vacant lots everywhere, and some with guns were on the roof of the nursery school.

“Did the hunting dog bite its owner?”

Lee Jin-Seong turned his head to the voice.

A man in a black suit stood in the direction he turned his head. A dreary-eyed man with straight hair. It was Kim Jun Oh.

And the bodies of Kim and Choi Deok-gu, who were killed by Lee Jin-Seong, were being carried out in the vacant lot. Looking at the bodies, Kim Jun-oh clicked his tongue.

“I kept telling you son of a bitch that you’ve always done a good job. And now you’re acting like a fucking dog.”

Unlike his clean face, his mouth was constantly spewing curse words. Lee Jin-Seong looked around calmly.

All of them were holding K2 rifles and aiming at Lee Jin-Seong without a hole to escape.

“What are you doing?”

Kim Jun-oh was so ridiculous and angry that a man who had been obedient suddenly turned around.

“I was going to take you because you said you were good at slitting people’s throats, but you slit the director and the manager’s throats, you crazy bastard?”

Lee Jin-Seong replied to that.

“Kim Jun-oh.” “……What?”

Kim Jun-oh was more shocked when a man who was younger than him called his name.

“Ha… how dare this bastard speak informally?”

However, Lee Jin-Seong did not bat an eye and said what he had to say.

“Any words before you die?” “……What are you talking about, you son of a bitch?”

That’s what he said, but Kim Jun-oh fell into an incredible sense of incompatibility.

Kim Joon-oh stared at Lee Jin-Seong like a mute.

No matter how environmental is, his murderous eyes were not like a 17-year-old.

‘……You’ve gone absolutely crazy.’

Kim Jun-oh had no choice but to think so. Kim Jun-oh concluded that by repeating what he was not human, he could no longer remain human and went on a rampage.

“Ha…Choi Deok-gu, I kept telling him not to ruin you.”

He was a useful hunting dog in the future, but if he went crazy like this, he would have to be discarded. Kim Jun-oh frowned as he pulled a cigarette out of his arms.

“Ha… you son of a bitch……why didn’t you put up with it a little…… when I moved to the headquarters, I would have been able to touch some money and beat up some women.”

Squeak, squeak…

The flint of the lighter set off a spark.

“If you take care of this case, you would’ve been part of our family…….”

Whooo…

And Kim Jun-oh breathed a long sigh.

“Well, I’ll give you a chance, though. Where’s the purple heart? If you just tell me where it is, I can look this over.”

That’s what he said on the outside. But Lee Jin-Seong knew Kim would kill him when he got the purple heart. A broken hound was beyond repair.

“…….”

Of course, Lee Jin-Seong didn’t feel like replying to him.

“……Wow, he’s not answering.”

Kim Jun-oh did not intend to spend a long time on Lee Jin-Seong. He took a deep sip of the cigarette he picked up with his thumb and index finger. He dropped his cigarette to the floor.

It was a signal to the men surrounding the fortress to fire.

It was then.

Chhhhhhnn!

At one moment, a glittering blade flashed right under Kim Jun-oh’s nose.

“……Huh?”

Obviously, Lee Jin-Seong, who had no weapons, had a dagger in his hand.

Took, Tsssssg!

At that moment, Kim Jun-oh’s fingers, which threw cigarette butts, were cut off by the short blade.

“What…!”

Kim Joon-oh looked at Lee Jin-Seong, who ran helplessly right in front of him. Lee Jin-Seong’s eyes, which came under his chin, were shining with murder.
