Episode 6
<Dr. Jin’s location is Gyeonggi-do… … .>
A hillside of Cheonggyesan Mountain.
According to the device’s information, Dr. Jin was there.
It is about 20km away from here.
I guess I live in a place where more people come and go than I thought.
No, basically, is it possible to live there?
Open the map app and check the route to that location.
First, I thought I would have to use public transportation to get to the nearby area and then follow the GPS.
“… … .”
I looked at the money in my hand, then stuffed it into my pocket.
This is the money Kirill gave me.
She told me, ‘It was given voluntarily by the people who saved their lives.’
But when I thought about the smiling face, I couldn’t believe it.
Perhaps they were swiped from the wallets of dead people.
The thought crossed my mind for a moment, but I quickly put it out of my head.
Even if it were true, it wasn’t something that could be returned to the dead.
After testing the black ether for a while, I move towards the subway.
I think I walked for about 10 minutes.
I witnessed an unexpected scene.
“What are you doing?”
“Uh-huh! “You can’t do it without a pass!”
A man and a woman were seen bickering in front.
‘What’s going on?’
Looking at the radio on his waist and his attire, the man appeared to be an employee of a security service company.
There was a long red band behind him, and when a young woman in a two-piece suit tried to cross the line, she immediately blocked the way.
“I’m late now! “You’re busy?”
“That’s right. That’s because they said it wouldn’t work. “Miss, do you want to be arrested for obstruction of justice?”
“How can you carry out official duties if you are not a public official? “Do you really want to be reported to the police?”
“We are just doing what the Glory Guild asks us to do. “If they tease you, you can tell them.”
Glory Guild.
The moment I hear that word, my eyes light up.
Actually, the man’s clothes had a radial patch symbolizing the Glory Guild.
I went next to the woman who was stomping her feet and asked the man.
“Is traffic restricted?”
The service company employee turns his head towards me with an annoyed expression.
Then, he immediately flinched and was startled.
It’s a familiar reaction.
The facial expressions people make every time they see me up close.
It was because of the birthmark that took up half of his face.
“hmm. okay. “You cannot go outside until the health inspection of residents in the open building is completed.”
The service employee speaks with great arrogance.
The big man’s nose is already sticking into the sky.
It looks quite funny.
I’m not a member of the Glory Guild, and I’m guessing I’m not a hunter.
Controlling people seemed quite satisfying in itself.
The type of person who becomes arrogant when they wear an armband on their arm.
He seemed like that kind of person.
“How long is the health testing plan?”
“Well, it takes fifteen days or something.”
Then the woman next to me raised eyebrows.
“15 days? “You mean I can’t leave this town for 15 days?”
“Shit. So, I said it earlier. Are you telling me to go to a public health center or hospital and get a certificate confirming that there is nothing wrong? “If you bother me any more, I won’t leave you alone!”
The service provider’s tone suddenly becomes harsh, as if he has run out of patience.
The woman took a step back in shock, and I asked again.
“Why wasn’t we notified in advance? “There were no articles published last night or early this morning.”
“This bastard with no blood on his head… … Do you guys know? “If you criticize me from above, I will criticize you.”
It’s not that you don’t know, it’s that you want to hide it.
It would be difficult if it became known that they were now controlling a neighborhood that had been neglected in order to protect the wealthy.
It was a story that had to be kept secret, especially in the Glory Guild, which values ’honor’.
“now! Without further ado, get out of here! “Because I don’t want to have any more conversations with dangerous elements who haven’t even been tested.”
I can’t communicate with this guy anymore.
Although Open-dong is a small neighborhood, managing an entire neighborhood is not easy.
In fact, except for the service worker in front of me, no one else was visible.
Employees would have been assigned to certain sections.
In short, as long as this one man passes, there will be no other obstacles.
“You said it was a company related to the Glory Guild, right?”
“okay. why. “Are you dissatisfied?”

Appropriate provocation is needed.
I decided to pour out the thoughts I had without filtering.
“Dissatisfaction is also dissatisfaction… … . “It’s disgusting.”
“what?”
The man’s eyes widen.
I bet you never thought you would hear something like this from a kid(?) who seems to be over ten years older than you.
“Isn’t it? When people were being beaten to death on the side of the road, you couldn’t even see their noses removed. “It’s so pathetic that they’re sealing off the area now.”
“You bastard… … . “Do you want to die?”
A security company employee approaches with wide eyes.
He was a head taller than me and seemed to weigh well over 100 kg.
In the past, I would have been scared.
No, honestly, I’m still a little scared.
Because I still don’t feel like I’ve gotten stronger.
Thump.
The security officer grabs me by the collar.
Since I had a very thin physique, my body was dragged forward helplessly.
“Say it again. “What’s wrong?”
I thought it would be really suffocating, but it was just a little frustrating and not painful.
Even if it wasn’t black ether, this was like a child’s joke, considering how excited I usually am.
There’s no need to say nice things when you’ve already been grabbed by the collar.
“Let go.”
I grabbed the guy’s arm by the collar with one hand and gave it strength.
Kuuk.
“Ugh… … !?”
Is it because of unexpected grip strength?
The expression on the security company employee’s face is distorted.
It would be a ridiculous thing to think about yourself.
Who would have thought that a skinny guy who looked like he weighed 50kg more would be able to overpower him with his strength?
If it weren’t for the curious eyes of the woman next to me, he would have let go of my collar a long time ago.
However, the hand holding my clothes has long since lost its strength.
I pushed back the arm of the man I was holding.
The man’s feet slip a couple of steps.
“this… … !!”
When you experience something unbelievable, your next reaction is usually divided into two types.
Either face reality.
Or deny reality.
It seemed like the man chose the second option.
“They say the beggars in Gaebang-dong are punished by their punishment… … !!”
The service worker takes out a dagger from his belt.
The woman next to me was impressed by that appearance before me.
“Are you saying you’re going to use a weapon on that student? “Are you crazy?”
“Don’t give a shit and get out of there. “If you don’t want to become a mess, too.”
The woman’s complexion turned pale at the man’s sinister tone.
This is amazing.
No matter how much the world revolves around hunters.
To think that they would so blatantly beat up civilians with weapons?
Looking at that man’s uninhibited behavior, it seems like there is a part of me that believes him.
I quietly asked the service employee.
“Can an employee of a service company assault a civilian?”
He must have thought I was scared.
The man smiled, showing his teeth.
“under! It seems like you trusted the police and were fussing. Learn the hard way by getting hit this time. “There is glory above public power.”
Is that really the case?
They say you know ten when you see one, and the Glory Guild seems to be a group that exists above the law.
Otherwise, does it make sense for a single service employee to assault a civilian?
I summoned the black ether inside my body and looked towards the man.
The man rolls his eyes and raises one arm.
Despite the significant difference in physique, he swung the dagger with all his might.
Boom.
But the dagger could not hit my body.
Let alone the price, it didn’t even touch the tip of a hair.
“… … ??”
However, I was so nervous that the guy and I ended up being more than five meters away from each other.
I tried to avoid it by backing away.
It became ridiculous.
Still, it’s my first time in real life(?).
Well, this can be said to be cute.
“This bastard… … !!”
There were two achievements.
One is that the man’s movements seemed quite detailed.
Yesterday I made a large toad’s core into black ether and sprinkled it all over its body.
Obviously, various senses, including ‘vision’, would have also improved.
At this level, it seemed like he could see and avoid most attacks unless he was a hunter.
on the other way.
What if I hit you with all my heart from this side?
puck!
After dodging one more attack from the intoxicated man, I tried hitting the opponent’s thigh with the blade of my hand.
The reason I hit his fleshy thigh with the blade of my hand was because I was worried that this kid might turn into an asshole.
“Ahh!!!!!”
The man lets out an ugly scream and falls to the floor.
I ended up doing a biological experiment(?) unintentionally.
Even though Kirill is a braggart, I at least know that the large toad core is a luxury product.
Even though I only created and absorbed black ether once, I was able to deal with an opponent much bigger than me like I was a child.
“I’m going to kill you… … !!”
Shock, anger and pain.
And a huge embarrassment.
With everything tangled up, the man took something out of his belt again.
When I checked the item, I couldn’t help but sigh.
“Are you saying you’re going to use an electric shock gun on a minor?”
“f*ck you!!”
The man lunged at me even though he was limping, and I sneakily dodged to the side and lightly kicked his other thigh.
puck!!
“Kaaaaaa!!”
This time, I end up rolling around on the wooden floor.
While the man was foaming, I checked the buildings beyond the red line.
There were not many places where CCTV was installed, including around here.
The gate just broke, so there’s no way it can be repaired yet.
The woman who was arguing with the man seems to have gotten tired of it and is no longer visible.
After giving a rough estimate, I walked towards the man.
“dog… … “You son of a bitch!!”
It crawled backwards in fear, but its mouth still wasn’t dead.
“A beggar in Gaebang-dong can be beaten?”
“… … !!”
“I’ll look after you this once, so be careful next time. “People who have nothing to lose have nothing to lose.”
The man’s face turns red.
It must be a shame to be robbed by a skinny guy so young, even with an electric shock gun.
What this means is that it is an incident that is difficult to talk about anywhere.
Because it’s embarrassing.
If I cross that red line, the man will have no choice but to report it, but if I disappear like this, my existence will never be discovered.
I stepped in front of the man and clenched my fist.
Then the man shouted with an expression of grievance on his face.
“Look, they said they would take care of it!!”
“Bite your molars tight.”
When I shrug my shoulders, the man covers his face with both arms.
That’s right.
It is now.
I concentrated all my strength on my legs and cast ‘Dogbo’.
Faaah!
The goal is the rooftop of the nearest building beyond the red line.
Perhaps thanks to the black ether that had taken root throughout his body, it was now easy to maintain his balance.
There will be no more ugly landings from now on.
“??????”
The man who expected to explode with another squeeze slowly relaxed his arms.
Then, with a puzzled look on his face, he checks all around.
It’s absurd that the man who was in front of you just a moment ago has disappeared without a trace.
He hurriedly checked behind him without even thinking about getting up.
But there was no way my image would be in his field of vision.
It would not be possible to assume that he jumped to the roof of the building in a split second.
“Let’s see… … .”
Beyond the building, you can see cars and people moving around in a hurry.
It was a very different view from the ruined open building.
I want to keep jumping between rooftops, but it would be difficult if I get caught by people.
I came down the stairs and boarded the subway to Cheonggyesan Mountain.
* * *
“Is this really here?”
<That’s right.>
This was also the direction that the GPS pointed to.
But I had no choice but to ask the device again.
In the past, there were so many facilities that you would run over your feet, but these facilities are now difficult to find.
Because there was a public phone booth in front of me.
“Why are you doing this? “Is it a bug?”
<No bugs will occur due to the logical structure of the device.>
hmm.
I guess I’ll have to be careful what I say.
I couldn’t help but hesitate a little in front of the square booth painted light blue.
“this… … “It means ‘home.’”
I feel like I managed to find this place.
It was a remote place far away from popular hiking trails.
People I ran into by chance tried to dissuade me from going that way.
But the house I arrived at was a phone booth.
“Well, I guess I’ll just pretend I’m being tricked and go in.”
I went inside the phone booth and looked at the machine.
I had seen it in pictures a few times when I was young, but this was my first time seeing it in person.
The red button was said to be an emergency call button, and the black button was… … .
hmm?
I never heard there was a black button.
As if I was being guided by something, I pressed the black button.
It rattled.
“Wow!!!”
I couldn’t help but scream.
As soon as I pressed the button, the floor inside the booth opened.
My body was instantly sucked into the black passage.
