EP.487 People who do not stand up when they see injustice (5)

* * *

***

Contrary to what is portrayed in movies and dramas, not all secret transactions take place in the dark.

In modern society, where national security organizations have become widespread, a well-appointed, high-end restaurant is a safer place to conduct business than a back alley or sewer.

That’s why politicians who take bribes in high-end restaurants are outside the reach of the police, but back-alley drug dealers are thrown in jail.

And for the same reason, Jang Man visited a high-end restaurant for the first time in a long time.

Katsura. One of the best Japanese restaurants in Incheon.

The reason I visited this Japanese restaurant, located in a famous place with a view of the MacArthur statue, was because of security rather than taste.

“Please come quickly. “Sir, what room number did you reserve?”

As soon as he entered the Japanese restaurant, a staff member with a deep voice greeted him. Jang Man called the reserved room number without any explanation.

“number 3.”

The staff guided him to the room without saying a word, and upon arriving at the room, Jang Man immediately took out his wallet and handed the staff a fairly hefty tip.

Naturally, there was no thank you. Because it was a natural price to pay for confidentiality.

Anyway, Jang Man, sitting in his room, quietly checked his watch. Realizing that there was still time left, he quietly listened outside.

-Elders there! I think you’re on a tour. Why don’t you take a look at this? We’ll give it to you cheaply!

Outside the window, the voices of merchants in the downtown area tickled his ears like musical notes. The bargaining voice was music that sang about desire and babble for money.

Money, money, money… Yes, what was once his everything.

During the harsh military regime, the most important thing in this country was power. The power of the military.

However, thanks to his father who fled to the Soviet Union, he was branded a communist and could not approach power no matter what he did.

So it was money. To avoid being ignored and to live a better life, he clung to money.

As a smuggler, I did everything I could and sold everything I could.

But even he couldn’t cross just one line…

At that time, two footsteps were heard beyond the door. Although Jangman was not a superhuman, he could easily tell that the sound of footsteps was approaching this room.

‘It came sooner than I thought.’

Jang Man stopped thinking and straightened his posture.

Immediately afterwards, the employee who guided him opened the door.

“Elder, one more person came than scheduled… “Could you please check?”

What appeared behind the employee who said that were two young men.

Both of them were covering their muzzles with masks, so I couldn’t see their faces, but Jang Man, seeing their hair dyed a dull gold, nodded.

“It’s okay. “Please add one more meal and bring it to me 30 minutes later.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The employee bowed his head and closed the door. The two blonde youths sat opposite him, looking around the luxurious room.

“Nice to meet you. that… “What can I call you?”

“Just call me old man.”

Jang Man answered as he poured tea for the two. It was a trick to remove the mask, and as expected, the guys took off the mask as soon as they received the teacup.

Jang Man looked at the faces of the two guys, checking various things, and suddenly checked their teeth.

‘Sharp… ?’

Teeth that are closer to those of an animal than to that of an ordinary human. While Jangman quickly gathered his thoughts, the guys sipped their tea and continued talking.

“Hey, old man. We apologize for coming on your behalf. I’ve been a little busy this time… .”

“It’s okay. “No matter who comes, as long as the deal goes well.”

“Thank you for your understanding. But, what is it… “Can I add some of today’s transactions?”

“Add a deal? “What does that mean?”

As Jang Man furrowed his eyebrows, one of the guys responded with a creepy smile.

“Sseu-eup, I-I think we need to give you a request.”

“request?”

“Yes, I need to find someone in Incheon. It’s called Mocha Dick… “He is a very famous smuggler.”

Jang Man pretended to drink tea and hid his expression.

“Mocha dick? What a strange name. “Why are you looking for that guy?”

“that is… Well, the higher-ups just told us to look for it, but we don’t know either. Ah, but what is certain is that if you help me find it, I can give you an additional 1 billion, no, even 2 billion.”

It’s an order from above. It was clear that these guys were amateurs as they occasionally leaked information about their superiors.

‘… Plus 2 billion?’

The ‘big brother’ of these guys I met last time was also like that, they weren’t ordinary guys.

On the surface, it is pretending to be an emerging intelligence company invading the territory of the Blue Rat, which has been less active these days… Starting an information company isn’t something you can start as easily as a chicken restaurant.

Jang Man, who continued his thoughts up to that point, spoke calmly.

“2 billion… It’s a good request in many ways. “I will try to do that separately.”

“Oh, thank you. “Elderly.”

“That’s it. Isn’t money at stake anyway? “Let’s finish the deal today first.”

As soon as Jangman said that, he took out a small USB stick from inside his Seoul National University jacket.

“These are the requested materials and photos related to restaurants frequented by Yeouido lawmakers.”

“You probably voted for it regardless of whether it was the Liberal Party or the Labor Party, right?”

“Oh, of course.”

Jang Man immediately took out his laptop and checked the data. Inside the USB were photos of famous lawmakers, including Sethi’s father Hong Yong-wan, coming in and out of the restaurant.

It was solid data. Jang Man folded his laptop, took the USB, and handed the guys a bag of money.

“Confirmed. “Get the money.”

“thank you.”

Even as the blonde guy received the bag, he didn’t erase the look in his eyes that said, ‘Why pay money for a photo of me just going into a restaurant?’

Instead of saying that high-end restaurants are places where secret transactions take place, Jang-man just stood up.

the blonde guy asked.

“Elder, aren’t you eating?”

“I thought of a good plan. “I will do the billing, so you can eat my share.”

“Oh my, thank you.”

Jang Man left the room just like that. No, he was going to step forward.

But as soon as he took a step, the cell phone of the guy who had been silent until now started ringing.

It was nothing special, but… Jang Man’s instinct warned him when he saw the guy who answered the phone.

‘I noticed.’

The eyes slowly moving towards him, the sound of breathing getting smaller, and even the blood-scraping pupils shrinking.

“Wait a minute, you-”

The moment the guy was about to say something, Jang Man immediately threw away the bag containing the laptop.

Pow!

The guy who was hit by an unexpected blow flinched for a moment. 2 seconds. After almost two seconds, the guy showed his ugly teeth and stretched out his hand towards Jang Man.

However, Jang Man had already thrown himself through the window.

Clink! Jang Man, who broke the luxury window, fell from the second floor.

It was a gamble. Although I protected myself with thick clothing, if a piece of glass got stuck in my body, I would have to go to the hospital right away.

But, either by luck or because the glass was of high quality, he landed on the floor without any injuries.

The bones screamed as they moved violently for the first time in a long time, but Jang Man forced himself to move his legs.

however-

thud!

When I turned around at the sound of something falling, two people jumped out of the window… To be exact, I saw two wolf beasts of dull gold color.

‘For some reason, my teeth were strange.’

A prisoner. Jang Man held back his swearing and took out his pistol.

I didn’t know that he would take out a gun in the middle of Incheon, let alone anywhere else, but this was the only way for him, not a superhuman, to deal with a beastman.

If only there was at least one assault rifle.

Jang Man, who pressed his lips tightly, pulled the trigger towards the two prisoners as he regretted.

Bang, bang! Perhaps his skills from his time as a smuggler had disappeared, but the pistol hit the prisoners’ knees and ankles.

But the guys only flinched for a moment, immediately healed their wounds and rushed back.

“A beast that uses mana… .”

It’s a mountain beyond a mountain. While Jangman was feeling dizzy, one of the beastmen screamed.

“Mocha Dick was just around the corner! ha ha ha! It’s a lucky day!! Elderly!! Thank you!!!”

Instead of answering, Jang Man turned his back. He didn’t know if he could run away, but he couldn’t give up. He had too much to do to die.

And before Jangman could walk a few more steps, someone grabbed his shoulder.

An old man who was eating hotteok in front of a stall… He asked, looking alternately at the approaching Suin and Jangman.

“Are you Mocha Dick?”

“… .”

There were so many people looking for me in Incheon?

The moment Jang-man points a gun at him. The middle-aged man next to the old man snatched his pistol with force.

“Jangman, is that right? If it is you, we will help you.”

Even my name?

“Who the hell are you…” ?”

“It’s an article that passed by.”

As soon as the middle-aged man’s indifferent voice ended, the old man scolded him.

“Oh, Sancho, you give up your knightly style just because of the Earth. Don’t you know that a certain amount of style is needed in the face of coincidences like this?”

“No, I wandered around Incheon for two days, but I don’t have the energy to show off-”

No matter what the man called Sancho said, the old knight spoke to Jangman in a wonderful voice.

“Nice to meet you. I am a knight who came to Incheon in search of Seti’s lover. Are you his godfather?”

Jang Man nodded with admiration for the absurdity and coincidence.

Followed by Kyaaa! With the screams of startled citizens ringing in my ears and the teeth of the approaching beasts glistening in the sunlight, the old knight waved his staff and spoke.

“What a wonderful coincidence. “I’d like to buy you a drink to celebrate, but can you make time for me?”

Patter – After he finished speaking, the severed limbs of the prisoner fell cleanly behind him. A sword wielded by calculating the location where the blood would drop.

Jang Man, who recognized this, looked down at the screaming prisoners in a daze, took out his cell phone and said.

“Of course, I will give as much time as I can.”

***

Soemiri slowly opened her eyes. The soft feel of her bed and blankets enveloped her body, but her shoulders slumped.

First, she stretched greatly and got up from the bed.

The first thing I saw was a large window and the moon shining beyond it.

Is it night? How long have you been asleep? I guess he wasn’t asleep for a whole month like Seti said.

When she got out of bed and was about to check the time, she suddenly realized something strange.

Aren’t the shadows too dark compared to the moonlight?

The moment she turned her head in confusion, she made eye contact with something strange. A being beyond the long shadow that the moonlight avoids.

『You’ve grown so well that you can already see me. Sprouts of trees… No, it’s the third one.』

A being that could only be described as great darkness was watching her.

third? who? Me?

Soemili stopped in the same position with her head turned. Neither his contracted lungs nor his open mouth moved to warn Dawn of danger.

『Don’t be afraid. Because you are good enough.』

The darkness whispered like that and moved its huge arm to stroke her head. It was a touch so kind that it gave me goosebumps.

After a while, the hand that stopped stroking grabbed something above her head.

『Look, unlike you, who are honest, everyone else is busy using tricks.』

What was held in that huge hand was the mass of tentacles that I had seen in the vision artifact.

When did that thing get stuck on my head? The moment Soemiri feels a little fear.

Even greater fear overtook her. The eyes of her tentacles, caught in her darkness, looked at her as if begging for her life, and she wriggled, and her night self quivered, twisting everything she saw about her.

But she could do nothing, like a seed left alone in the night. And after a while…

Kwasik.

That was the end. The mass of tentacles disappeared into the darkness. It was an end without screaming or shouting.

The darkness let out a silent laugh. Soemiri thought it was fortunate that her body was still. If she had been able to move, she would have trembled uglyly with her arms and legs.

『I told you not to be scared… Maybe I’m expecting too much from Sprout.』

“… .”

『But my chosen one really likes you, so what can you do? Since this has happened, I will treat this tribute as the one you gave.』

Although he didn’t know exactly what he meant, Soemiri couldn’t refuse. Darkness placed her finger on her forehead and whispered softly.

『Right now, I will give you the price of the tribute. Pretend to be asleep. The chosen one has now opened his eyes in the next room, so if you miss this moment, you might become the sixth person instead of the third.』

After saying an unknown word, the darkness disappeared. Soon the moonlight rose again and the normal shadows became longer.

Soemiri was absent-mindedly trying to understand the situation, and then lay back down on the bed without realizing it.

And the very next moment.

The door opened and someone found her. She was dawn.

“beforehand? Woke up?”

Only then did Soemiri vaguely understand the meaning of the third and sixth words. So she decided to keep pretending to be asleep.
