Episode 88

Cigarette smoke travels through your lungs. The white haze that came out of his mouth was scattered in the air.

Looking at it, I guessed Park Hyun-ah’s situation before returning.

After the raid on the Obermensch, the survivors, including me, received mental care from the Society.

Park Hyun-ah must have been like that too. But it probably wouldn’t have helped much.

Wasn’t she the one who was looking for alcohol while thinking of her dead students? Of course, you must have found Yang Kyung-ho’s cocktail bar here.

“The messiah complex… .”

She was intoxicated with the satisfaction of helping others. But the Übermensch shattered her image.

There was no way Yang Kyung-ho would have left her so unstable.

Whether it was using drugs or arousing sympathy, he would have tried to use Park Hyun-ah. She, too, would have held Yang Kyung-ho’s hand to fill the vacant seat.

“Did you start collecting villains?”

Considering her abilities, satisfying the other person’s needs would have been simple.

No, it would have been different from normal prostitution. Maybe that’s why the name ‘color ghost’ was attached. I could have satisfied any craving.

Park Hyun-ah would have thought in the gap of such people. They say that these are people who need help, and that he can become the savior and messiah in front of them.

“… Was that why you were targeting Katherine?”

Animal Horder.

Those who raise more animals than they can handle, and those who cause problems by neglecting the animals they have collected.

Park Hyun-ah’s appearance is similar to that. To put it simply, should I call him a villain hoder?

He must have tried to get Katherine in order to solve the villains who couldn’t handle it.

If you change your memory, you will be able to ‘reform’ the villains and release them.

I don’t know how long that conversion will last, but as a color ghost, his own satisfaction comes first, so he probably didn’t care.

In the end, Catherine took her own life, but that plan was also foiled.

“Whoa… .”

I shook off the ashes and put the butts in the ashtray.

What is certain is that Yang Kyung-ho is the villain, and this cocktail bar is the starting point of a criminal organization. In addition, unlike before returning, he is directly manufacturing drugs.

Probably because there are no Junky Breeders. If Soyul had become a junkie breeder, she would have already been in control of drug distribution in the area.

I’m sorry Park Hyeon-ah, but from now on I’ll have to look for another regular bar.

Late morning.

A purple truck stopped quietly in front of a building on an empty street.

[Dawn delivery is Market Lurky!]

It was a vehicle for a large shopping mall with early morning delivery. A burly employee came down and unloaded a large box.

“You are diligent.”

Yang Kyung-ho smiled and spoke to him. The employee snorted and held out the box.

“of course. How much is this?”

“Mandrake thread roots, cockatrice eggs, blue scale mushrooms… That’s right.”

Yang Kyung-ho checked the contents of the box and handed over the money he had prepared.

In fact, the employee was a black trader selling drug materials. He has avoided public attention by wrapping the truck and disguising it as a delivery vehicle for a large shopping mall.

“Give me one cigarette.”

“Oh, great. Even though I got money.”

“Hey, don’t be petty. There are still many places to go, so hurry up.”

At his urging, Yang Kyung-ho handed over a cigarette. Yang Kyung-ho also lit another cigarette next to him.

Acrid smoke dissipated under the streetlights.

“These days, the Association and the Spiral Guild are in trouble. You’d better be careful.”

“Ah, that’s why I feel like a dick. A lot of guests have also been cut off. So these days, we don’t just sell them as goods.”

“then?”

“They mix a small amount in a cocktail and serve it. To increase the price of cocktails while slowly intoxicating them.”

“It must be rumored to be a cocktail restaurant?”

The black dealer giggled and bounced his butt.

“Please order again next time.”

“Come as a guest sometime. I’ll match you with a really good boy.”

Hearing Yang Kyung-ho’s words, he paused and climbed into the vehicle. Yang Kyung-ho also took the box and entered the building again.

I was in the middle of going up the stairs. The squeaking sound of brakes hit my ears.

Yang Kyung-ho looked outside through the window on the middle stairway, wanting something, but heard no other noise.

“Tsk, with my temper. When you get behind the wheel, your true nature comes out.”

He hung out his tongue and returned to his shop. The moment I turn around holding the box and opening the door with my back.

“who… ?!”

The lighting in the bar was not very bright to create a mood. Under the soft light, someone was seated at a table.

When Yang Kyung-ho looked closely, it was a familiar back of the head.

“what… ?”

It was a black trader who had just started. I was wondering how the heck did this happen?

“I was given a seat with a good view while I waited.”

Inside the bar, an iron man came out of his office and said. Yang Kyung-ho was frightened and dropped the box. At the same time, a metal frame suddenly appeared and restrained his limbs.

The iron man, Kang Tae-min, used his ability to sit the two at a bar table. Wires grew like stems from the iron stools and held them firmly in place.

“Uh, uh… !”

“town… !”

Yang Kyung-ho and the black trader glanced at each other and then shouted something. Either way, Kang Tae-min went inside the bar and grabbed a shaker.

“There is a difference between medicine and poison. You should know since you learned alchemy.”

Kang Tae-min didn’t move a single fingertip, but the equipment provided ground and cut the ingredients on their own.

The prepared ingredients were put into a shaker.

“Was it a lie to say running a bar is your dream? Or were you frustrated because your expectations and reality were different?”

Yang Kyung-ho’s eyes widened. Doesn’t it sound like you know yourself well?

In the meantime, the shaker that had been shaking by itself stopped. Kang Tae-min created several small saliva and soaked the finished drug.

Before returning, he dealt with Junky Breeder and remembered all the recipes she had put together.

The one he made now was one of them.

“Turn it off… !”

Iron needles pricked Yang Kyung-ho’s arm. At the same time, the cells began to die at a remarkably rapid rate.

Yang Kyung-ho cried out in agony, but only suppressed moans leaked out.

‘If we treat it as a simple disappearance, Park Hyeon-ah will continue to worry about this child.’

Yang Kyung-ho was supposed to have died of acute drug poisoning. Along with him, the association will find out that Yang Kyung-ho has been manufacturing drugs.

Kang Tae-min left Kyung-ho Yang and turned to the black dealer.

“I will do the rest of the delivery.”

I don’t know if I can’t see it

There was no reason to leave visible trash behind.

* * *

A few days later.

Park Hyun-ah left the funeral hall wearing a black suit.

‘It’s a drug… .’

It was Yang Kyung-ho’s funeral.

It was revealed that the close disciple was actually a drug dealer and even arranged prostitution.

The shock couldn’t have been greater.

Perhaps because of this, there were not many mourners at the funeral home.

‘why… .’

Guilt wriggled.

It was a sense of responsibility for not stopping the disciple before going on the wrong path. But unlike before, she wasn’t buried in that emotion.

– Those who seek help, the weak are not always nice.

It was because what Kang Tae-min said remained intact in her heart.

She helped Yang Kyung-ho because he was a student who wanted to achieve his dream. The villain, Yang Kyung-ho, was not a person worth helping her.

‘Still, you even paid condolences.’

Even though the disciple’s evil deeds were revealed, they were together for the last time. Isn’t that what a ‘good’ teacher looks like?

Thinking about it made me feel more at ease.

– If you ask me if Mr. Park’s hypocrisy is evil, I would say no.

Kang Tae-min’s words and face kept coming to mind.

‘I want to hear it again.’

The only person who affirmed and understood me. I felt like I would definitely become a ‘good’ person if I heard him say it was okay once again.

And she put her judgment into action.

‘The supervision period is over, but there’s no reason I can’t go.’

I even thought about inviting her to go to the funeral together, but I gave up since the two of us had only seen each other once.

Park Hyun-ah visited the Avalon Guild while organizing topics to talk with Kang Tae-min.

However, Kang Tae-min and Pyo Soo-ho could not meet.

“Are you the homeroom teacher?”

Instead, I was able to talk to Song Dae-beom, who was waiting. Song Dae-beom also answered obediently because he learned his face during the supervision period.

“Well, I went out to buy customized memorization from Suho.”

“Customized?”

“Yeah, I’m not sure when he’ll come.”

“Um… .”

Park Hyun-ah tilted her head and let out a drool.

‘It wouldn’t be good to follow that far.’

It wasn’t a very ‘nice’ look. Like other people, no, more than that, I wanted to be considered a good person to Kang Tae-min.

“OK. You should be back soon.”

* * *

At that time, Kang Tae-min and Pyo Soo-ho visited a large shopping mall. On the floor that specializes in selling only hunter equipment, there are branches for each brand.

“mmm, teacher! Rather than memorize, how about dual wielding!?”

“Do you think you’ll just pass by just because you’re outside?”

As Pyo Soo-ho grabbed the two long swords, Kang Tae-min shook the manners injector.

Pyo Soo-ho flinched and put the weapon back.

“The wrist crossbow used by courtiers won’t be bad, and the hidden blade won’t be difficult to use.”

“Because I am a prosecutor, I will choose the latter!”

“… It would be better with a wrist crossbow.”

Taemin Kang shook his head excitedly and finished the purchase. Pyo Soo-ho immediately put on the wrist crossbow and moved his hand lightly.

It was a model that was used by turning the wrist to release the safety device and pressing the injection button on the palm.

“This stance is the perfect Manspider!”

As soon as I put it on, Pyo Soo-ho let out a bullet and took a posture as if he liked it. It was similar to the hero of a once popular movie.

‘It’s about time.’

Either that or not, Kang Tae-min sneakily checked the time. My visit to this place wasn’t just for buying weapons.

‘I’ll have to let the civilians go first.’

He deliberately displayed his abilities. The mall started to rumble.

“What, what?”

“Earthquake? Is it an earthquake!?”

Customers and staff came out in amazement. As the vibrations continued to intensify, the security guards hurriedly raised their voices.

“Please leave in an orderly manner!”

“The exit is this way!”

“Go to the stairs!”

People started pouring in. Pyo Soo-ho was also surprised and turned to Kang Tae-min.

“Teacher! It looks like there was an earthquake! Hurry up and leave!”

“It seem to be like that. But civilians first.”

Unlike Pyo Soo-ho, Kang Tae-min was relaxed. He was also the cause, and the building never collapsed.

It was at the level of scaring people to get them out.

However, Pyo Soo-ho took that attitude differently.

“Mmm! How true! We are strong!”

He even made sure that there were no people on the floor who could not escape with his eyes shining.

Before long, even the two of them left the mall.

“what… ?”

“Is it quiet outside?”

People who left the mall looked around with bewildered expressions.

That time when everyone is so absurd.

“Uh, uh… !”

“It’s a dungeon break!”

As the shape of the shopping mall was distorted, overlapping spaces were created.

The tall shopping mall building has turned into a giant black obelisk, and the plaza decorated as a place for leisure has turned into a dry graveyard.

‘As expected.’

Where the 2nd Artifact, which was the basis of Necrod, is located.

Like Blood Si-ok, Kang Tae-min was thinking of preempting it.

“Run away!”

“Avoid!”

In case the building collapsed, people who were far away started running.

“Teacher!”

“Is it undead?”

Kang Tae-min already knew, but he didn’t show it. Decaying corpses and skeletons dug up the ground and emerged.

“Damn it, I’m off work today!”

“I’ll take care of this!”

Fortunately, there were other Hunters who visited the shopping mall. They escorted civilians and dealt with the undead that appeared everywhere.

“Ouch… !”

“Are you okay?!”

Pyo Soo-ho cut off the zombie’s head and asked the frightened security guard. Since they were the last to leave the mall, the security guards couldn’t escape like other civilians.

In the meantime, Kang Tae-min quietly tidied up the surroundings and returned.

“Avoid it for now.”

“Now, wait a minute. There are still others inside.”

The security guard said with a contemplative expression. Pyo Soo-ho opened his eyes wide and asked.

“Someone else!?”

“Yes, yes… ! I had to check to see if there were any remaining guests… !”

This meant that not all of them had escaped. Taemin Kang headed for a shopping mall, now a building that has turned into an obelisk, with a stiff face.

“… It is a barrier.”

But couldn’t go inside. A grayish, translucent membrane wrapped around the obelisk.

Kang Tae-min already knew this.

“Pyosuho!”

At his call, the Pyosuho hurriedly ran.

“Yes, sir!”

“You should be able to tear the barrier with your ability.”

“Ah, neutralizing mana!”

It was the reason Kang Tae-min brought Pyo Soo-ho here.

“We rush in.”

The Pyosuho was the key to open this barrier.
