56

Cheonjung was wiping the empty soju bottle into the glass.

“Twitter.”

I don’t know how many bottles it has already been, but the empty bottles piled up like a mountain in the corner of the room were proving that they didn’t live like this for a day or two.

“Should we sell the air conditioner now?”

There were not many things left in the spacious house, but now I had to dispose of even that to satisfy the drink I would drink today.

“By the way, where did this crazy bastard go?”

Apparently I ordered him to buy me a drink last night, but come to think of it, he hadn’t come home yet.

“It’s annoying… I’ll have to train hard when I come back.”

However, as the child who brings money to him, I stroked him a few times to make him feel a little more comfortable, but the trembling of his body was very pleasing to the eye.

“Before you go…”

The man picked up the house phone.

He already did not have a cell phone, so his home phone was the only way he could communicate with the outside world.

“Honey?”

“Oh, me. Kim Cheon-jung.”

At the welcome name, a voice full of liking returned from the receiver.

“Oh, aren’t you our regular? What happened today?”

“It’s nothing else… I’m trying to sell just one air conditioner.”

“It’s air conditioning.”

“Come and see me.”

“Then go quickly.”

Chun-jung, who had sold the air purifier last time and crumpled a few sheets of cash in his pocket, pressed his hat tightly and left the house.

“yes? Is it winter now?”

When I heard that there was a chilly atmosphere in the house, it seemed that winter was slowly approaching.

“Hey, they sell air conditioners, shall we eat some snacks today?”

Besides, after a while, Yein’s support was going to come in.

Thinking that it would be nice to live like this for the rest of his life, Cheonjung smiled and went into the alley.

But a voice came from behind.

“Kim Cheon-jung?”

“yes? Who show?”

“Are you Kim Cheon-jung?”

Looking back, he saw a man in a black suit staring at him with an expressionless expression.

‘Oh, was it because of the subsidy?’

Something similar happened last time.

It was like a thank you to whether the subsidy was being used properly, and because of that, there was a time when I had a hard time paying for alcohol for a week.

“ha ha ha. Did you come out of the ward office?”

“…Yes?”

“No, you came last time, so this time…”

Cheonjung sighed lightly, took out the crumpled cash he had just brought, and approached the man.

“You came too soon. This time, that’s all.”

“What?”

“…you are too much. When did you go up again? If you get 1 million won a month in support, you get 500,000 won, and you’re right.”

“Aha. Did you?”

“It was so, what was it! Anyway, that’s all this time, see you next time.”

“…that’s right.”

Cheonjung had no choice but to go home again.

I handed all the cash I had to the man, so I had to bring it back.

“Kaak. Iljin is dirty.”

I nervously opened the front door and entered the house, but strangely, I felt a little colder than before.

It was as if the door was open somewhere, otherwise the door opened for a while in between.

“Kim Cheon-jung?”

“…maybe, that person earlier?”

He said he would give it to me later, but it seemed that he had come home.

“What kind of person is greedy…!”

“Kim Cheon-jung, 38 years old. All of my parents died, and I became homeless after a series of business failures.”

“What, what?”

It wasn’t evening yet, but the curtains were all down, so the house was dark, and a man could be seen partially in the darkness.

He was holding a piece of paper in his hand.

“After the last business failure, he was threatened by Yang’s father, who was a big investor, and in the process he killed Yang’s father with his own hands.”

“Wow, what kind of bullshit…!”

“At the same time you were homeless, you already knew that Yang Ye-in’s mother was missing, so you came into the house pretending to be Ye-in’s father’s friend in order to get a subsidy.”

The man said, scattering the papers he was holding on the floor.

All the documents related to him were written on the documents that were barely visible in the light shining through the small cracks in the front door.

“Everyone, who are you!”

“That alone is not enough, so I am trying to do things that I should not do as a human being.”

“how…”

Chunjoong looked at the man and the fallen documents alternately with shaky eyes.

This man is definitely the man I met earlier.

‘It wasn’t from the ward office…!’

What should I do?

If he was found to have simply embezzled the subsidy, he could somehow overcome it, but the man in front of him now knew too much.

“Hey, for a moment…”

Chunjung brought back his memories.

Anywhere in this house that can handle that man?

And at the same time, in the man’s back drawer was a decorative dagger made of crystals he had left for later sale.

Chun-jung carefully turned his hand back, opened the drawer door, and took out the dagger.

It’s not sharp because it’s for decoration, but if you stab a vital point, you’d be able to make it defenseless.

“ha ha ha. Don’t do that, talk slowly…”

Cheonjung, who hid the dagger behind his back, slowly approached the man.

forced to smile

“So, how did that happen…”

Finally coming within range, the man thrust the dagger into the man with all his might.

No, I was trying to shove it.

“Aww!”

But the moment I tried to reach out, the pain that I couldn’t bear made me dizzy.

“Uhhh…”

Even breathing was not easy.

The pain, which felt as if it was only barely allowing breathing, tormented the crowd without getting worse or getting weaker.

“…how long have you been with this person?”

At the same time as an unfamiliar voice, other figures appeared from the darkness.

Seong-hyun struggled in pain and barely raised his head and looked down at Cheon-jung, who was looking at him with a cold gaze.

There wasn’t even the slightest bit of sympathy.

At first, I didn’t even think of myself as a person.

They were the same person only in their biological structure, and it seemed that they had nothing in common with them other than that.

No, there was definitely not one.

“Kim Cheon-jung.”

“Turn it off…”

Originally, Seonghyeon would have lowered the intensity of the stigmata for conversation, but now I don’t think so.

Seonghyeon stretched out his hand toward the sky, who was writhing in pain.

‘cure.’

Of course, Sunghyun felt the pain as well.

But I never thought that I felt pain instead.

I just wanted to figure out how much pain this man was feeling and if there was anything lacking.

“Aww!”

The man’s voice, which had lost his vitality, quickly grew louder.

The restored vitality was being used only to let out a moan.

“done. What kind of conversation do you need?”

Seong-hyeon, who was trying to talk for a moment, became pathetic, wrinkled his eyebrows and raised his body, which had been bowed down to the level of the man’s eyes.

“Is everyone all right?”

“hour? why? What else are you doing?”

“You should leave it that way.”

In-hwan, who had a puzzled expression on Seong-hyeon’s question, nodded his head to answer Seong-hyun’s words that he would leave him as he was, trembling in pain.

“It’s full.”

“I wanted to beat him up, but that wouldn’t be bad either.”

As I was trying to watch the man, I heard a voice from outside.

“It’s the police. Please open the door.”

“police?”

There was nothing Chunjung reported.

Because he was a man without a cell phone in the first place.

“I will go.”

Inhwan’s secretary headed to the front door instead.

“What are you doing?”

“I received a report that screams were heard.”

The police tilted their head to see the man’s back.

“It’s nothing…”

“Great! W, here…!”

“…I’ll see you in a moment.”

When the police came in after pushing the man’s body, Chun-jung began to cry at the police as if he had found a way to live.

“Hey, these people are trying to kill me…!”

“What is this… are you guys supposed to be Hunters?”

It was, of course, forbidden to use one’s abilities for a crime like this.

Of course, there were not many such people, so the police divided the general public and the Hunter Association was cracking down on the hunters.

“Go ahead and ask the association for support…”

In-hwan and Sang-yeon watched the situation with their brows wrinkled.

“It’s a little burdensome for us to be in charge of the Hunter Association.”

“Then…what will happen to us?”

Seonghyeon’s forehead was wrinkled as well.

‘I can’t help it.’

Sunghyun immediately called somewhere.

Before a few signals could be heard, a familiar voice answered the call.

“hello?”

“hello. Hunter Kim. What’s going on?”

He was the secretary of the association.

It was too far-fetched to call the vice president directly for this kind of thing, and it seemed like a secretary would be fine.

Seonghyeon briefly explained the situation.

I didn’t have much time, so I used my power on a man and explained it only to the extent that the police found it out.

“yes? What if…”

“I will tell you later. I don’t have time right now.”

“All right. I’m sure there must have been a good reason for that. I will deal with it right away.”

The call between Sung-hyun and the police ended at the same time.

“Everyone, please leave. A dedicated hunter staff will arrive soon…”

But before the police could finish speaking, the phone rang again.

“hello. Yes? What… ah… yes… I see.”

The police hung up the phone and looked at the scene for a moment with a blank expression.

“…I don’t know how great they are, but don’t think you can live like this forever.”

The policeman who left a very meaningful statement left the place.

“Hey, hey! Police Man! Hey man!”

Heaven’s only hope disappeared like this.

It seems that the locksmith who came to check the air conditioner saw the situation and reported it to the police, but it completely disappeared like smoke with just one phone call from Seong-hyeon.

“What, what? suddenly?”

“I think Seonghyun was talking on the phone…”

“I called the association. Don’t worry over there.”

At Seonghyeon’s words, the two remembered again what position Seonghyeon had at that time.

“I am here.”

“Hey, I can’t forgive you at all.”

“So do I.”

But both knew.

It would be more painful for a man to spend the rest of his life in prison than to just end his life here.

“Hey, just live…”

Cheon-jung, who was listening to the conversation, clapped his hands together and begged.

I ask you to spare your life.

“…done. let’s go.”

“Ttt, it’s dirty to hold hands.”

Seong-hyeon left the house without removing the stigmata.

When I left the house, In-hwan’s secretary was waiting outside with the police officer from earlier.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“What are you doing? with this person?”

“You didn’t kill him, did you?”

I was a little surprised that he said he would kill me in front of the police without hesitation, but the police looked at him differently than before.

“Well, it’s not worth it.”

“So I passed on the information I had gathered. You will decide for yourself.”

As the secretary said, the policeman was holding a pile of papers in his hand.

“I just… I’m sorry. I don’t know anything…”

“it’s okay. You’ve seen it all, so you’ll have to judge for yourself.”

So the three of them left without any regrets.

However, since the regret for the heavenly people was not erased at all, they mobilized everything they could.

Seong-hyeon goes to the association, and In-hwan has what he has.

As a result, the trial of Cheonjung proceeded in an instant.

without finding a lawyer.

He was sentenced to 50 years in prison without any objection.
