Side story episode 58

“Put your hands on your head and turn around.”

“Just shoot.”

“…what?”

“Since I’m going to kill you anyway, just shoot me. It’s the same whether I die now or get dragged away to die.”

“You have to go there to find out. It’s not up to me to decide.”

“No… Don’t you know what kind of organization it is while working together? Just shoot quickly. If you keep doing this, you’ll die too.”

The dot scanned the surrounding buildings.

Lieutenant Jang couldn’t understand what he saw.

Not only did you talk about death so easily, you even worried about me.

His hand holding the pistol tightens.

“I am…….”

“Are you hesitating? Do you know what I’m going to do?”

“Don’t move! I might actually shoot you!”

“No, Lieutenant Jang. How on earth have you survived until now? You’re not feeling sorry for me because I chatted with you for a bit, are you?”

“You, everything you told me earlier was a lie?”

“No, that’s… … .”

“Answer me.”

Lieutenant Jang put strength into his hand on the trigger.

“What if it’s real? What if it’s fake?”

“This is the last time. Don’t say the same thing again. Answer me. Is everything you talked about with me on the way here true?”

“Of course it’s true.”

He stared intently into the spotted man’s eyes and slowly lowered his gun.

“… Think carefully. If you do, you will die too.”

“Like everyone else, I have a family. If we met in battle, I wouldn’t know, but in this situation, I can’t kill you.”

“so?”

“Go. I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but don’t ever show up in my sights again.”

“What are you planning… … .”

The spotted eyes narrowed.

I’ve seen people try to establish merit by making up crimes that didn’t exist while alive, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone like Lieutenant Jang who was deliberately let go.

That was when.

A soldier with a rifle approached with a puzzled look on his face, accompanied by a noise.

Lieutenant Jang naturally put his arm around the spotted one.

“What? Why isn’t it coming out?”

“Oh, I just wanted to talk to you for a moment. You go first.”

“Is there a problem?”

“What’s the problem?”

Lieutenant Jang smiled faintly and shook his head.

“I thought you were going to take a shit. Hurry up and finish chatting and come out.”

The soldier muttered to himself and then walked out of the alley again.

Lieutenant Jang let out a deep sigh.

“… I was shocked.”

“Isn’t that what I was talking about earlier?”

I asked, recalling the scene where the dotted line was talking to the manager while moving.

“I did. Your story was a little different, but the main thing was something else.”

“Something else? You didn’t order me to kill you?”

“If that was the case, I would have just shot you there. Why would I have brought you here? Think about it. As I said before, I was the only one who suspected you.”

“Why are you sparing my life? I killed your comrades. If necessary, I can kill you too.”

Lieutenant Jang turned around, holstering his pistol.

“If that was the case, it would have been already like that. Just go. This is all I can do for you. But if we meet again, then I can’t help it. Let’s meet in a world without war.”

“for a moment.”

He stopped walking.

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“I need your help.”

“I think you’re mistaken. I just lost you. If I help you, I’ll die.”

“Anyway, this war is structured in such a way that we can’t win. We’re no match for you in the first place. So help me. Then you can live too. And your family too.”

“What do you think I look like?”

“What are you talking about?”

The polka dot asked with a puzzled look on its face.

“I am a soldier. I was a soldier where I was, and I am the same here. Soldiers live by orders and die by orders. They are not beings who only choose battles to win.”

“Who is this order for?”

“Once you start to think about the world, there’s no end to it. So, you go your own way. I’ll do what I can.”

“How filthy selfish… … .”

Lieutenant Jang’s eyes became sharp at the seemingly dismissive tone.

“Why do I have to listen to something like that even though I’m considerate?”

“Why? Yes. You’re a soldier, so you can live like that. But, what crime did your family commit? Do you want your children to live like that? Do you want them to live like dogs under those who don’t care whether we live or die?”

“That’s not something you should be saying. On the topic of a spy’s life.”

“That’s why I’m trying to live differently. I’m trying to live my life the way I want from now on.”

“What can I do for you that you want me to help you with?”

“If I disappear now, only you will be suspected. What will the manager say when he comes looking for me?”

“… Even if I help you, the result will be the same. As soon as the two of us disappear, there will be pursuers from all directions. How long can we go? An hour? Two hours? If that fact becomes known, the teachers will hide even deeper.”

“So, we have to clean everything up and leave here.”

A chilling murderous look appeared in the spotted eyes.

“Are you telling me to kill my comrades now?”

“Don’t talk about your colleagues while you’re moving without saying a word to them. I know it when I see it. There’s no time to explain everything here. From the moment you leave the alley, it’s your choice. This is your last chance.”

“… … .”

“It won’t end with me dying alone. I can’t even imagine how many people were deployed from Seoul. Think carefully. At first, I also thought that following the organization was the way to protect my family.”

After saying those words, the spotted man left the alley first.

Lieutenant Jang, left alone, looked at his back and silently thought.

* * *

After a while.

As the manager came down after finishing his report, the four people who had been on guard joined him.

The polka dot asked the manager.

“Where are you going now?”

“We have to go to another outpost.”

“What about the teacher?”

“He hasn’t come out yet.”

“Are you going to meet other teachers?”

“…What are you so curious about?”

The manager found him suspicious because he was asking questions so persistently.

The soldiers who always accompanied us were silent, but it was understandable that the one who joined us kept asking questions without stopping.

About the executives of none other than the organization.

“I was just curious, hehe.”

“… is departing.”

“While I’m at it, can I ask you one more question?”

I think it’s okay to stop at this point.

The dotted line asked questions as if it was desperate to be cursed at.

“What now?”

“The four of us are going to escort the manager like this. Then how many people are following behind the teacher?”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, the manager glared at the soldiers and quickly walked away.

It meant to cut it yourself.

But even after walking for a long time, there was no sign of anyone following me.

What on earth are they doing?

The manager’s eyes widened as he looked back annoyed.

Spotted and Lieutenant Jang approaching, with two corpses lying on the ground in the background.

As the panicked manager was about to draw his pistol, a dagger flew in and stabbed him in the arm.

“Ugh!”

The spotted one, who had run towards him in one stride, rose into the air, wrapped both legs around his neck, and rolled on the ground.

The pressure was properly applied.

Her thick thighs began to press against her cervical spine like a coiled snake.

“Cough! Cough!”

A flushed face, feet scraping the ground as if they were glowing, and increasingly more intense hand gestures.

The manager was desperately fighting to survive.

But that was it.

He drooled like a rabid dog, then rolled his eyes and died.

The spotted man with the dagger stuck in his head stands up, shaking his hands.

“Let’s go right now. They might have already left.”

“Okay.”

In the end, Lieutenant Jang chose the spotted coat.

If you look closely, there wasn’t really anything that was trustworthy.

Everything was just a one-sided claim by the polka dot and an unverified story.

However, the reason I decided to follow him was because of the trend and my family.

It’s been about 7 years since Lieutenant Jang So-wi started observing the organization of the Spotted Ones.

During that long period of time, the organization expanded its power without a single mistake.

At least on the Korean peninsula, I thought there was no one who could beat them.

Everyone would have thought so.

Because it is such an absolute being, yet it has always been shrouded in mystery.

It was difficult to understand how an organization that had been like that would continue to regress from the start.

Even to the point of closing down strongholds that could be considered gateways for the organization’s members.

In addition, rumors of members of the organization disappearing as soon as they leave also had a major impact.

External forces such as Lieutenant Jang had a different position from the organization’s members.

Although it was a command system bordering on coercion, it was a political relationship that could be withdrawn at any time if the situation changed.

The two men left the body behind and moved to the rendezvous point.

After a while.

A familiar face appeared.

A woman wearing red clothes and a ring with a red sapphire, one of the four executives of the organization, crosses the road.

Soon a group of people surrounded them.

The polka dot knew that what you see is not everything.

“There will probably be a separate security team spread out widely to prevent sniping or reconnaissance.”

“Then how do I follow?”

“You can’t follow it with your eyes. You have to see the traces and follow them.”

“Trace? Are you talking about tracking?”

“Yes. If you move around that much, there’s bound to be a trace left behind.”

“This guy is more high-level than I thought… … .”

The spotted man, who was looking ahead, frowned.

“I was the best in my class?”

“But why do you keep switching back and forth between speaking informally and speaking formally? Just say one thing.”

“I will be respectful. I think you are a lot older than me.”

“Not for long… … .”

“Shall we follow the path now?”

“Wait a minute. That woman who is a teacher, how did she get to that position while dressing up like a crazy person? She seems more interested in that kind of thing than work.”

“I don’t know. There must be a reason. But one thing for sure is that you shouldn’t get caught. Especially not with a man of a certain age.”

“why?”

“I don’t want to say it with my own mouth.”

“Isn’t that too much? After persuading me to get on the same boat.”

“Well… Let me put everything else aside and say one thing. Don’t ever get caught by that woman.”

“why?”

“They don’t kill the prisoners, but gather them and take them away one by one in the middle of the night. The prisoners they take away are all found dead.”

“That’s right. The organization doesn’t keep prisoners alive.”

“The problem is the condition of the body that was found tied to the bed the next day… … .”

“Tch, bed?”

Lieutenant Jang’s eyes were filled with bewilderment.

“Do I really have to hear the rest of the story?”

“…Let’s go, quickly.”

“Never get caught.”

“you also.”

Lieutenant Jang followed behind, imagining terrible things.

The spotted one’s tracking skills were truly outstanding.

It was extremely sensitive to traces and quickly found a spot where dust had been pushed up even on a road full of debris.

Looking at those spots, I thought.

Why would such a talented person betray the organization and become a double agent?

He was always in the rear and had little knowledge of the opposing forces.

I just rely on the occasional rumor.

“But what are you going to do now that you know the meeting place?”

“I have to let the people who are waiting for my news know.”

“Where are those people?”

“In Seoul, the safety zones of the mountain and the branch offices have all been occupied. That means you can meet them wherever you go. They are monsters who made it like this by moving only a few people before starting an all-out war.”

“It’s incredible… … .”

“Sergeant Jang is also amazed by my tracking skills. But when I go there, I won’t even be able to join the lower ranks.”

“Hey, that’s ridiculous… … .”

“Seriously. Who is the reason I ended up like this? I barely managed to deal with someone much younger than me. I’m still alive because he didn’t try to kill me… … .”

The battle on the ridge flashed through Dotted’s mind.

Certainly, Seonwoo threw himself at it with all his might.

But Gaon was different.

Every time the sum went up and down, I kept the situation in my hand.

What would have happened if Gaon had changed his mind?

The thoughts didn’t stop there.

A man I met on the way home.

Hyunsoo’s appearance greatly shook up the world of DotBak.

People living in completely different times in the same world. A one-sided confrontation that couldn’t even put up a proper resistance, and the emergence of finance.

The organization could never defeat them.
