Episode 41

Yoo Ji-wan gritted it.

‘Is it telekinetic power!?’

It was a mistake.

The only thing he turned invisible was the objects close to his body, and the arrow that left the demonstration was clearly visible.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have put invisibility on my arrows.

‘The location has been exposed!’

That iron man is no ordinary Awakener. Apparently, he turned his head before the attack.

It means that he has excellent senses and senses, which means that he has excellent abilities as a hunter.

‘Now that it’s like this…!’

Because of this, Yoo Ji-wan gave up the ambush.

With a click, the holster next to his waist was released, and in his hand was a pistol using magic, a mana pistol.

Because of the gunfire, it could not be used for ambush, but its destructive power and speed were incomparable to that of a crossbow.

“Fuck!”

It was the moment Yoo Ji-wan shouted and pulled the trigger. It was right when mana permeated along the handle and a magic bullet was fired through the muzzle.

However, the stretched finger returned to his palm.

‘What?’

Yoo Ji-wan could not understand the situation at all. The Mana Pistol disintegrated and scattered in an instant.

Then, the scattered parts were crushed like water droplets, and then gathered together in an instant and turned into handcuffs.

With a clunk, the handcuffs wrapped around his wrists.

“Big!”

The handcuffs flew to the wall as if attracted by a magnet. Yoo Ji-wan also became attached to the wall with him.

‘It’s not just a person with telekinesis ability…!’

Only then did Yoo Ji-wan realize his fountain. His chin trembled.

“Now, wait a minute. Whoa, what do you want?”

“Tell you about that later.”

“Yes···?”

Iron Man, Kang Tae-min said no more. He manifested his ability and drew the crossbow arrow that Yoo Ji-wan had.

“What, what…”

Yoo Ji-wan’s eyes shook as if an earthquake had struck. Whatever it was, I knew it wasn’t good for him.

Instead of answering, Kang Tae-min showed it through action.

“Keah…!”

An arrow pierced his side. Kang Tae-min was throwing crossbow arrows directly, not his ability.

It’s like playing darts. The only difference was that the target was Yoo Ji-wan.

“Come on, go to sleep!”

The arrow was not a threat to life, but it was precisely placed in a sufficiently painful area.

Yoo Ji-wan endured the pain, clenching his teeth as if they would break.

“Sah, save me… save me…”

I didn’t know what would happen like this. Yoo Ji-wan servilely begged for his life.

“No, I’ll give you anything. Oh, and there are women inside.”

At those words, Kang Taemin stood still. Yoo Ji-wan mistook it for interest.

“No, you can do whatever you want! Her face is also smooth and smooth.”

I was thinking of dealing with it anyway. Yoo Ji-wan actively appealed to Yoo Hwa-rin’s strengths.

Taemin Kang approached him.

“Answer the question.”

It’s like handing over blood and flesh without hesitation. Kang Tae-min felt a surge of disgust inside him, but put the execution on hold for now.

Yoo Ji-wan had something to find out.

“Yes? Ah yes…! No, anything…!”

Before returning, he thought that Yoo Ji-wan was just the first victim of Yeomma. But after seeing him and checking the karma log, I realized that I was wrong.

[Karma Log]

[Name – Yoo Ji-wan]

[Alignment – Evil (-693)]

He was a villain who exploited Yuhwarin for self-interest. But his misdeeds weren’t the worst.

[Evil Karma Activities (in descending order)]

[> Human sacrifice (-300)]

Human sacrifice, which means human sacrifice.

“What is the human sacrifice ceremony?”

Yoo Ji-wan’s eyes widened at that question.

“This, human sacrifice…? That’s it, what the hell do you mean?”

“Answer me. What ritual did you perform?”

“Mo, I don’t know…! You’re catching a live person!”

Yoo Ji-wan vehemently denied it. And surprisingly.

‘…the truth?’

Kang Tae-min was able to know that the answer was true through the karma log. Yoo Ji-wan was unaware of his evil deeds.

‘Does he not know what he did?’

So, what is this contradiction? Kang Tae-min’s head turned furiously.

‘Am I being brainwashed?’

If it happened outside of consciousness, it is explained. Brainwashing and human sacrifice, new keywords came to Kang Tae-min’s head.

“Do you know anything about Lunatic money?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Lunatic Don, a secret organization with contacts with Yeomma. It was a question to confirm the possibility that they got their hands on Yoo Yu-rin through Yoo Ji-wan.

“What is that… I really don’t know!”

Contrary to expectations, however, this time it was true. Taemin Kang frowned.

‘If it was an organization that would be so easily revealed, they would have found the Miss Backdoor right away.’

“Please, save me. Just let me live…”

In the meantime, Yoo Ji-wan’s voice, begging for his life, suddenly cut off. When Kang Tae-min turned around, his eyes were open and his expression had disappeared.

Like a doll

Then, in an instant, his body disappeared. It was evident that he had used invisibility.

‘what?’

Handcuffs and arrows that seemed to float in the air. But isn’t it that the arrow is pushed out by itself and falls to the floor?

“Mjihyeroik a nog…”

A strange whisper followed. It was as if something had been added to Yoo Ji-wan’s voice.

Along with him, the handcuffs were twisted and bent.

Something is happening to Yoo Ji-wan.

Taemin Kang did not respond right away. It was because he had a hunch that this change was related to Lunatic money.

‘The flow of blood…?’

I could feel Yoo Ji-wan’s blood flow by detecting iron. However, the flow was quite different from that of the human body.

Eventually, the detection was blocked. It was because Yu Ji-wan’s side emitted mana and blocked it.

“Lunafna gvesque!”

Yoo Ji-wan attacked Kang Tae-min with a shout. He quickly turned around and pulled out the rip-and-tear.

The saw blade cut through the air with a keying noise.

‘It was shallow.’

The air splattered dark red blood. The slimy mass fell to the floor with a thud. It was a part of the body separated from Yoo Ji-wan.

But it was not a human body.

The forked arms were flapping and pulsating like live fish.

Kang Tae-min did not look any further. Although he blocked the iron chase, Yoo Ji-wan still had a lot of metal on his body.

He rushed right in and whipped out a rip-and-tea. I could feel the saw blade grinding through my fingertips into pieces of meat and bones.

“Kikiiik-!”

Yoo Ji-wan No, it fell down with a strange cry. Above the dark red blood puddle, the figure of the monster was revealed.

‘This···.’

A grotesquely distorted body, half-human, half-monster hybrid.

It was a monster that even Kang Tae-min knew.

“The disciple of madness…”

Monsters that serve the gods of the other world.

Only then did Kang Tae-min know exactly what ‘Lunatic money’ meant.

‘It wasn’t the dawn of the moon, it was the dawn of madness.’

But how could a human suddenly turn into such a monster?

Kang Tae-min recalled Yoo Ji-wan’s mutation.

‘Is it magic?’

Just like the Goblin King who was manipulated by Devil Maker, it was clear that Yu Ji-wan had magic implanted in him.

Perhaps being interrogated about ‘Lunatic Money’ was the trigger to activate the magic.

Kang Tae-min cut Yu Ji-wan’s mutated arm into small pieces and put them in an iron box.

‘There are more things to request.’

A sample would make the miss backdoor easier to investigate.

Yuhwarin walked through the crypt with a dazed expression. It was a leisurely walk, as if taking a walk.

“Kuruuk-!”

“Cuck-! Hold-!”

But all around her were screams and pain. The kobolds who were aiming for Yuhwarin were burning in the flames of the fire spirit.

It was something familiar to Yuhwarin. All the hard work is taken care of by the spirit. All she had to do was draw mana and maintain the materialization of the spirit.

‘mom and dad···.’

Along with that, Yoo Hwa-rin’s consciousness went to the past, not to reality.

The days when I was still with my parents, but the times when I wasn’t happy.

– You look like a fucking Chinese.

-Are you Korean? What does it matter?

– Asian guys all look the same.

-Ah, where does the smell of garlic come from?

– Father, father. stupid year.

Before awakening, she was racist at school. She was an easy prey because she could not speak English due to her poor English and was weak due to her small build.

The verbal abuse and bullying intensified. I wanted to go back to Korea. But she put up with her parents.

– Hwarin!

-Those, these dogs!

But I couldn’t help but notice. In the end, the parents got angry and turned the school upside down. It seemed like it was all his fault.

– Hwarin-ah, it’s okay. you did nothing wrong

– You can study at home.

Her parents took care of her. Fortunately, unlike Korea, home schooling was sufficient for education.

Yuhwarin spent more time at home, and her parents were everything to her.

-Oh my gosh···!

– Our Hwarin has awakened?

In the meantime, Yuhwarin has awakened her ability. How happy my parents were when they saw the first summoned fire spirit.

It was like a birthday. It felt like being reborn. The spirit of fire burning for her felt like a birthday candle.

– Hwarin-ah, let’s go to Korea.

-Have you been very frustrated?

Parents decided to return home for their daughter. Even if she gave up everything she had built up in a foreign country, her daughter’s future was important.

Yuhwarin felt deep gratitude to her parents. I was determined to succeed and repay you.

I had to.

-I’m sorry…

-I am so sorry.

Foreigners who visited her told strange stories. It was something that couldn’t happen, that shouldn’t have happened.

Dungeon break, survival rate, things I didn’t want to know were exchanged. But there was only one thing that mattered to her.

parents are gone

‘···Nope. live somewhere, somewhere right?’

Yuhwarin denied the reality. She asked the spirits.

‘Please find Mom and Dad. I’ll give anything, anything.’

Spirits follow the spiritist’s will. Yuhwarin’s will was so desperate.

‘It’s okay if I disappear. Please, please give me back my parents.’

Her insides were engulfed in flames. But it wasn’t painful. Rather, it was filled with warmth, only the warmth that comforted her.

The moment everything turns red like that.

“ah.”

Yuhwarin’s spirit was awakened with a small sigh. The warmth disappeared and reality overshadowed the senses.

The spirits that guarded her collapsed and lost their reality.

‘It’s cold.’

It was cold steel. The iron man was consuming her spirits.

Yuhwarin was afraid of the overwhelming violence. But even that was short-lived.

‘… this time I’m going to look like a real villain.’

The iron man, Kang Tae-min, stunned her and gently embraced her.

Late at night, an officetel.

Katherine was staring at the TV in a daze.

“Whoa…”

she was depressed

It was because there was no contact with Kang Tae-min recently. Irua keeps sticking with her because it is a burden, and Seol Gaeun naturally joins her during club activities.

‘… I’m at most school affairs meetings and classes.’

It’s not even a direct conversation. It’s just a glance at the face or a peek at it.

– It’s not like before, but I hope you get along better.

Again, Kang Tae-min’s voice rang in his head. But what about the reality, contrary to the words?

It was no different from before. No, on the contrary, as Taemin Kang is busy, he is in a situation where he is not as good as before.

“Ahh…”

Katherine tugged at the cushion and sighed. I knew very well why there was not much progress.

‘…I wish I could help too.’

Unlike Lee Luana and Seol Ga-eun, it was because Kang Tae-min was not very helpful.

Besides, it was difficult to approach Kang Tae-min.

In the past, he had courage because he had the purpose of restoring the relationship and apologizing, but once that goal was achieved, he was timid again.

‘What can I do…’

Then, the sound of the doorbell ringing erased my thoughts. Catherine jumped like a cat at a cucumber.

‘Who, who?’

There were no visitors to her house. How much more so late at this time?

Catherine’s complexion darkened rapidly. It was because it reminded me of the fact that I was almost kidnapped.

She hurriedly grabbed a stun gun and checked the intercom.

“···uh?”

Her eyes widened. Then he ran straight to the front door and slammed open the door.

“Teacher Kang Tae-min?!”

Taemin Kang was there. But he wasn’t alone. A fainting girl was carried on his back.

“I’m sorry for coming all of a sudden.”

Kang Tae-min didn’t even say to come in, but he took a step inside. Catherine was taken aback, but did not back down.

“I need help.”

“Hey, help?”

“Yes.”

There was one reason Kang Tae-min came to see her.

“It has to be Miss Catherine.”

It was because her ability, ‘memory shift’ was needed.
