Episode 106
The suggestion to attack Area 3 by mobilizing all of the headquarters’ firepower, even if it meant forcing it, was rejected by the Hunter.
However, Juyeol couldn’t just watch Haon wither away like a flower pot day by day.
Even if we can’t find a way right away, if we can just find the possibility of turning it back, Ha-on might find some life back.
‘I’m worried that I left him in Nova’s care, but no matter what happens, that kid will protect Haon somehow. Seriously, somehow.’
Juyeol, who had been looking inside Zone 3, hid deeper into the shadows.
Two men who appeared to be civilians were walking out of Area 3 with tired faces.
“It’s too inconvenient to go all the way back to District 5. It would be better to quickly take over District 4.”
“What did District 4 do wrong? Eunhaon should have eaten District 5.”
The two appeared to be residents of District 5 who worked in District 3.
“I don’t know what the hell he’s thinking. He suddenly told us to empty the underground parking lot that Weaver had made public.”
“Because of that, cars were lined up on every side of the road. I wonder what they’re doing underground.”
Joo-yeol chewed over their distant conversation.
‘The port base is underground, and the road to get there is underground too. I don’t want to be seen even for a moment by a drone that might not catch it.’
What are you going to make this time?
Joo-yeol, who was absorbed in his work, caught sight of a long shadow cast inside Zone 3.
I would be exposed while moving towards that shadow, but it would only be for a moment, so there was no hesitation.
Just as he was leaving his seat and about to move to a new shadow.
puck!
A stone bounced off the floor of the room. It was embedded in a bullet.
“… … !”
The moment Juyeol quickly pulled back, the claws of the mechanical locust struck him in the right spot. It was a close call.
I thought my head was almost shattered, but at the same time I thought that a blatant miss had saved my life.
‘Why?’
He hid behind the wall, but when he sensed a slight movement, he took a step outside the wall, aiming his gun.
“If you don’t want to die, stop there.”
The protagonist of the sound was now standing right inside Area 3. It was a sniper.
Joo-yeol was curious as to why the sniper, who had been persistently blocking his way and interfering with him whenever he tried to attack Halo, was suddenly acting like this.
“It’s not like your shooting skills suddenly dropped. What’s wrong?”
“Now that I thank you, take this and get out.”
“… … !”
Joo-yeol, who suddenly caught the bottle thrown by the sniper, looked at it with an even more suspicious expression.
In a glass bottle labeled ‘Elixir’, blue and gold liquids were marbled together without mixing.
I had a gut feeling that it was definitely something Bae An-jae made, even though I didn’t know what it was.
“New potion?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why are you giving me this?”
“……I don’t know.”
The sniper responded coldly and looked around cautiously.
It was strange to see him doing that in Zone 3 while holding hands with Twoshot.
Juyeol glanced at the floor where the locust rakes were embedded.
It looks like it’s set to attack only when you enter Zone 3 since it doesn’t fly any further, so I wonder what it’s guarding against.
‘Are you checking if I brought another hero? Even so, why this… … .’
He took some unknown potion and opened his mouth.
“If you regret joining hands with Twoshot, why don’t you break up before it’s too late?”
“Al Baya?”
“I don’t know what Bae An-jae is doing, but I think there will come a time when you can’t turn back even if you want to escape.”
The sniper flinched at Joo-yeol’s words and then let out a self-deprecating laugh.
“It’s too late. Even if I wanted to quit, there’s no way.”
“… … ?”
Joo-yeol had a feeling that the sniper was being emotional today.
If there’s really something going on within the gang, this might be an opportunity.
“Whether it’s a two-shot or a backdoor, it’ll be faster to kill them from the inside. It’s not like Halo would just leave them alone because they couldn’t kill a two-shot.”
“I told you it’s already too late?”
The sniper fired sharply.
It was the first time I had seen such a reaction from her, who was always reserved and dry.
‘There was something strange in the underground base of the port. The condition also didn’t look good. Could it be because of that?’
Ju-yeol, who was assessing the sniper’s unfamiliar attitude, soon remembered the purpose of his visit to Area 3 and asked another question.
“What Bae An-jae did to Eun Ha-on’s wrist. Do you know how to get rid of it?”
The sniper shook his head.
“It’s already too late. That galactic temperature is over.”
“… … What are you talking about? What do you know?”
“That potion, whatever it is, it must be lethal. Bae An-jae was so happy that he laughed his head off.”
“What are you talking about, Eunhaon!”
Joo-yeol opened his eyes wide and took a step forward.
Then the sniper raised his pistol high into the air and pulled the trigger without giving anyone a chance to stop it.
Bang! Taang!
“Get out before the locusts come. Don’t even think about coming to Area 3.”
“Sniper!”
Joo-yeol tried to chase after the sniper who quickly disappeared into the alley.
But I could see the mechanical locusts flying towards me as they detected the gunshot, and hiding in the shadows was pointless as long as those machines were around.
“What the hell! What the hell is that!”
In the end, he had no choice but to give up on infiltrating Area 3 and turn back.
* * *
Joo-yeol, who had hurriedly returned to Ha-on’s laboratory, stopped as he entered the cafe.
I kicked something and it rolled away, so I looked closely and saw that it was a bottle of alcohol.
The bottle of alcohol stopped rolling after touching another bottle, but many more bottles were rolling behind it.
“… … ?”
Joo-yeol had never seen Ha-on drink alcohol before, so he didn’t understand why something like this was rolling around the lab.
“Galaxy On?”
And the moment I walked into the cafe in a puzzled state, I ended up cursing at the sight that unfolded before my eyes.
“Fuck. Are you crazy, seriously?”
“Who is this? Isn’t that the ghost that flashed at me?”
Nova, who had a bun-like head like someone who had entrusted her hair to someone, was doing a handstand on one finger.
His clothes were turned inside out, revealing his sharp abs, but he was still smiling and waving his hands, which looked very hideous to Juyeol.
River and Chacha were wearing different clothes, each holding a different flower pot, and each was half-hiding under the sofa.
I couldn’t understand anything at all as the two of them took turns repeating the same words, whether they were sleeping or not.
“Come on!”
“… … .”
And Haon was hanging sideways, wrapped up in the curtains, with two stray cats that he didn’t know where they came from.
“Lord!”
Every time he spotted me and waved, I would hit my forehead against the curtain decoration.
“… … I don’t even want to know what happened.”
Joo-yeol kicked Nova with a look of disgust on his face and approached Ha-on.
Nova, who had fallen from behind, struggled to stand on one toe this time.
But all Juyeol could hear was Haon’s giggling voice.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Lord.”
Ha-on pointed to Ju-yeol with reddened cheeks and moist eyes.
“… … I’m so drunk that my tongue is completely loose.”
Joo-yeol felt his face flushing even though he hadn’t even had a drink and tried to pull Ha-on out of the strangely tangled curtains.
“Wait a minute. Ugh. You smell like alcohol.”
“Attention?”
“Is that attention? Why are you holding the curtain? Let go.”
“No.”
“What can’t be done?”
“If you let go of me, I won’t be able to sleep.”
Haon clung to Juyeol, who threw back the curtain and hugged her.
He tried to ignore the feeling of his heart rate increasing and the heat rising to his forehead as he hugged Ha-on tightly.
“Okay, then stop pulling my hair.”
“I miss you.”
“I have nothing to apologize for.”
“No, Mia. I’ll do better.”
Haon muttered, rubbing his forehead against Juyeol’s neck.
Joo-yeol, who was heading to the elevator, left the people lying around in the cafe, snickered.
“How can I make it better?”
“I should have made you some money when I was useful. I regret it so much.”
“… … .”
It seems like you had a really loud drinking party with other people, so why are you still talking about this?
Joo-yeol’s mood was rapidly becoming complicated, and he even began to find Ha-on annoying.
Even though I didn’t feel like it, I left Nova next to me and he started drinking and acting up.
Haon, who had been fidgeting without knowing his speed, met his eyes and laughed.
Joo-yeol, who became even more annoyed because her face was overly cute, bit Ha-on’s flushed cheek.
“ah!”
Haon opened his eyes and cupped his cheek, then pointed to a cat rolling on the floor with his other hand.
“Did you just see that? What is that guy doing!”
“… … How much is it?”
This time he pointed to Juyeol’s cheek.
“Come here hard! It’s a goral!”
“… … .”
When he couldn’t take it anymore, Juyeol pressed the back of Haon’s head and made him lean against his shoulder.
“tight.”
“Yes.”
“Why do you listen so well? You’re so cute.”
Ha-on, who had been quietly and obediently closing his eyes, opened his mouth again as soon as he reached the rooftop.
“I’m going to throw up.”
“Hey. Wait a minute.”
Joo-yeol’s steps towards the penthouse became busier.
