The Crazy Demigod Returns - The Crazy Demigod Returns chapter 88
nature
“I-over there… I don’t know why you’re doing this, but fix it… .”
“We have nothing!”
“Good people… .”
“Shut up!”
Unsure of what to say, Paik Kun-wu stepped forward before Ha Yeon-wu to the people who were buzzing.
When it became quiet in an instant, I turned my gaze and asked a question.
“now… Can I accept that my parents are in danger because of these people?”
“maybe.”
Paik Kun-woo is good.
Everyone’s standard is different, but at least to the extent that if you line up all of humanity and rank benevolence and goodness, you’re far above the middle.
And these guys often live in illusions.
If you look at the world with clear dynamic eyes, can you see it properly?
Poor people will always be persecuted by someone. Those with bodily defects are pitiful. The weak are always taken away, and the strong are always taken.
Etc.
They fall into the illusion that there is no sin without power and always defend them. Because that was all he knew, and it was a modest definition based on that.
Or even knowing it and ignoring it.
But that doesn’t mean you’re stupid.

Like Geon-Woo Paik now, will there ever be a situation where his beliefs are tested? I’m sure you’ll be aware of it without leaving out a single person.
In this world, there is no value that is always good and always good.

Like right now
“Do not kill… please don’t Because I want to ask you something myself.”
An expression of intent to pass all judgment.
After nodding her head in response, she turned her gaze to the old man.
to select a suitable site.
‘It’s not right.’
The old man’s body is so fragile that he will die if touched lightly. I had to choose a place where I could feel the pain for as long as possible.
The place where you decide like that is your fingertips.
I grabbed one of the old man’s knuckles as if I were picking up clothespins.
back-
“Gagging… uh, what… .”
Why are there so many long-standing torture techniques that inflict continuous pain on the hands, toes, and face, regardless of place or culture?
This is because nerves and pain points are developed there, and the fat layer is thin to feel pain.

Like running a hydraulic press. Very slowly, but steadily, the old man’s fingers began to squeeze.
“Quaaah… !”
The old man shook his body in pain without being able to struggle much because his throat was caught.
“Mi, crazy… .”
“What is that… .”
An old man who fluttered like an electric eel when he reached his climax.
“Keuk, kkeuk… .”
The people around him who saw the scene were busy turning their eyes away or backing away in awe.
“Don’t move. I have no intention of saving even those who run away.”
Of course, keeping him alive right now is to obtain information and because of Paik Kun-wu’s request.
After that, even if he doesn’t kill me, I’ll kill him myself.
Whether they knew it or not, the people who heard the vicious warning froze and stood still.
Even in the middle of the day, the old man’s fingers were being squeezed.
pududeuk-
“Kreak… .”
Before long, with the sound of nerves being cut, the tips of the fingers were completely crushed.
moved mechanically.
From the finger that was dripping with dead blood to the other finger that was still intact.
“Oh, you didn’t ask the question.”
Everyone here clearly knows.
The reason why Paik Kun-woo came was to find his parents’ whereabouts, and when, where, and how the two couples were torn apart.
about what to say.
However, a part of the human body turns into a lump of meat in an instant, and he is unable to speak due to the momentum of Ha Yeon-woo, who does it casually.
On the contrary, the pleasant chanting of forgetting the question instilled even more fear of death in everyone.
“Nine left.”
The sight of giving notice to an old man who was already half-conscious from the pain was like madness on top of madness.
“No, I will tell you! I’ll tell you!”
Did he decide that opening his mouth was the way to avoid being in the same situation?
Among the crowd of non-elderly people, a middle-aged woman raised her hand and shouted.
In the meantime, the fingers were busy crushing the representatives of those who were mechanically strangled.
“I have nothing to do with these people! I came in a few days ago, and I heard that grandfather talking to some people about the landlord! He must have made a deal with the guild!”
A woman pointing her finger at a few things she remembers.
The people who were pointed at me were startled and screamed hurriedly.
“These twins… .”
“Don’t f*ck! It’s a fact that everyone knows! When we sold it, people on the top floor said bullsh*t about not using it… .”
After that, the people who keep pointing at each other, criticizing each other and blowing what they know.
“I say so.”
It was a lot of talk, but the point was that in the end Paik Kun-wu’s parents were sold to the guild due to some kind of transaction, and everyone here knew about it.
“Pah, it was sold… ?”
Paik Kun-wu’s empty voice, not knowing if it was absurdity or anger.
Scared to flinch, he raised his hand to block it.
“Even if you kill it, it would be better to get information and kill it.”
Paik Geon-wu, who had almost lost his rationality, stared at the people with an expression as hard as ice.
Ha Yeon-woo did what he had to say.
“When and where.”
It was a short two words, but the ripple effect was great.
It was because there was a competition like a rat to see who would blow the information he wanted first.
“The Justice Guild, who came down to organize this place a while ago… !”
“The slave laborers are spared!”
“I came to this building! Do you have Paik Kun-wu’s parents!”
It was new information about the Busan ecosystem.
Justice Guild. Contrary to their name, the survival strategy they took was neither coexistence nor cooperation.
The most primitive and primitive form. It was extortion and violence, control and oppression through him.
The Justice Guild they are talking about seems to have dominated this place as a rule using force.
The sound of clashes between humans and humans must have been part of such a power struggle.
It is a world where those who remain have everything. To the right of human life and death.
“Are they people you know?”
“Yes, I have been entangled a few times before.”
“I don’t think there will be any contact between Busan and Seoul.”
“Anyway, it’s my hometown and I stop by often… .”
“Did you have a clue?”
Paik Geon-wu is worried as if he is trying to find the cause of even a single toe.
“I ran into him once a few years ago during the subjugation of the 5th tier gate, and I heard rumors that he usually keeps me in check.”
“check?”
“My hometown is Busan, and my parents live here, so I wondered if I would establish a branch. It was more like a common territorial property with guilds.”
Surprisingly, a powerful guild in the provinces turns into one of the common middle-ranking guilds the moment they come to Seoul.
Most of the strong people from all over the country gather in Seoul, they create guilds, and other strong people gather after seeing the guilds.
If you go to Seoul, the guild’s competitiveness is low and it’s hard to survive, or when it’s more helpful to the guild and yourself if you don’t go up, the strong stay in the provinces for two reasons.
The Justice Guild was at that level.
In Busan, it is big enough to be a prestigious local guild, but it is highly likely that it will not be the same when it goes up to Seoul.
On the other hand, Paik Kun-wu’s guild was always one of the top three places in Seoul.
There are two more strong men like Baek Kun-woo.
As an aside, one of the dogs left after the disaster broke out, and the other one remained, replacing Paik Kun-wu as the manager there.
If a branch is established here, what if Paik Kun-woo comes down as the branch manager under the pretext of the location?
It would be natural for their pie to shrink, so it was only natural for them to keep things in check from a corporate point of view.
Of course, that past precedent was weak to serve as a basis for kidnapping Baek Kun-woo’s parents now.
“It’s a different story after a disaster has occurred and the world has turned into an asshole.”
Paik Kun-wu also shook his head, as if he immediately understood what he was talking about.
“I already knew that. Where were my parents and what were they doing?”
“Yeah, that was a good idea! I told you to pick it up and kick them out… yo. this… .”
The person who brought up the story of the Justice Guild quickly nodded and agreed.
“guarantee.”
Maybe it’s collateral.
If the Justice Guild had acquired Busan as they said, the most annoying thing would be an act of aggression from another region.
Korea, which was relatively intact with no monsters, was like the warring states era of the giant awakened forces.
It was like taking all the insurance you could get in a situation where you didn’t know the situation in Seoul because the means of communication were not perfect, and you didn’t know which forces might come here.
It must have prepared for such a variable as much as possible with an extremely political and war history-based mindset.
I didn’t expect to visit so quickly and quietly when they were fighting each other.
“I wouldn’t have died.”
No matter what the process was, the purpose of taking him became clear.
If Paik Kun-wu’s parents had been taken away with that intention, they could not be neglected as they were an important resource that could be used at the negotiating table.
At least to the couple, it was highly likely that they treated them extremely in the name of protection.
“Is that true?”
He silently nodded at Paik Kun-wu’s question.
“In the first place, the purpose is collateral. If you protect yourself well, you can establish your righteousness, but if you get injured and then you find out later, it will be a war for sure, so there is no reason to gamble like that.”
Without knowing that simple fact, there was no way that he would have practiced one of the lower measures like an idiot. No, if it was like that in the first place, I wouldn’t have come and taken you like this.
“Perhaps you are being treated like a master and living comfortably and safely. They don’t even know they’ve been kidnapped.”
Paik Geon-wu sighs.
The gaze naturally returned to the people who were unable to move due to Ha Yeon-woo’s bluff.
‘Cause I’ve figured out everything there is to know
It was only natural that the shadows on the faces of the people who were listening to the two of them were getting darker and darker.
“Uh, uh… .”
“please… Help me… .”
Some of them may be directly involved in this kind of human trafficking, and some may not be.
I didn’t know exactly what I was getting in return, when and how I kicked the two couples out of this building and handed them over to them.
just the important thing.
“At least everyone here has participated in some form. To sell your parents in exchange for something, be it safety or food.”
“Dogs… You are still human! To the person who saved me… .”
Baek Kun-wu pours out his anger.
Perhaps because of his trust in Ha Yeon-woo, he did not show any signs of drawing his sword as before.
I had heard that the Justice Guild, who had taken their parents with them, would have served them wholeheartedly in front of them no matter what they did behind the scenes.
Dududuk-
“Rurrukreuk… .”
Of course, whatever Paik Geon-wu thought, it was not something Ha Yeon-wu knew.
Because the people I hate the most in the world are those who trade in humans.
His family died just like that. A simple and obvious reason why nothing more is needed.
Even on the Pan continent, which has an infinitely uncivilized culture compared to this place, the bud of human trafficking dried up from that moment on.
Well, it’s a caste society, so I could buy and sell it as much as I wanted.
At least in the sun, even the emperor of the empire couldn’t do such a thing.
In any case, the conclusion was that the people here and the people from the Justice Guild were scum that shouldn’t be alive.
“Sir, sir… .”
A grotesque scene in which the neck of an old man is grotesquely rattled.
A low muttering flowed from Ha Yeon-woo’s mouth, ignoring the words of Paik Kun-wu, who was surprised by the scene without any foreshadowing.
“I expected it, but… .”
Right after the first catastrophe erupted, the first expected tribulation and human madness.
Even in this sunny place, which must be the lowest level, openly annoying things were happening.
dump-
The corpse of an old man thrown on the ground like a piece of luggage.
People who avert their eyes to save their lives. As if they still couldn’t figure out the situation, even those who spread their shoulders for no reason as if they were confident in this matter.
Even after selling the couple who saved them, no one feels embarrassed or guilty. just trying to live
That was madness. It was the reason Ha Yeon-woo put all humans on the same line and looked at it, and it was human nature that had been hidden under the mask of modern society.
Paik Kun-wu’s pupils, which looked back, had burst blood vessels, and there were things close to bloody tears.
Saying there was something I wanted to ask would have lost its meaning.
Because they have already revealed the bottom and said everything.
“If you want to kill me, I will yield. Or I will kill you.”
There was no option to save.
