There Is No Salvation for Extras

53 – Laughing at them.

A man suddenly appears and laughs casually. A man wearing a bizarre mask that exposes everything except his mouth, and his hair is completely white.

The strange-looking man, whose arms and legs were tied in chains but slowly approaching, stood in front of Hyunwoo and Eunji and tilted his head.

-Nice to meet you, is this your first meeting?

No one answered the greeting that came from his mouth.

No, should we say that it is smiling? He would not be laughing of his own accord, nor would he be speaking with his own mouth. His mouth was sewn with thread and blood was flowing out, and the corner of his mouth was torn with something sharp and held in place.

-Wow, it’s quite chilly. Isn’t it? I can see something I don’t like.

“Shut your mouth. “You can’t even see it in the first place.”

Hyunwoo distorted his face as he glared at the man in front of him, and clenched his hand so hard that blood began to sprout.

Even though it is clearly the first time I have seen this person, the voice is familiar. There was no way I could forget it because it was the voice of my worst enemy that I had heard even before I was possessed by this world and that I should never forget.

“Is it possible for a corpse to see?”

-Do you even know that? It’s really amazing.

The man in front of me is one of the corpses controlled by the leader of the evil brigade. He is just one of the dolls created to convey messages to others without revealing his appearance.

I know. I know but-

-It makes me want to rip my brain out and check how much I know.

Why are they breaking into a cold sweat, and why are they so afraid?

I feel like an alarm bell keeps ringing in my head that there is danger. Even though there are so many loopholes that I could swing my sword and cut off his head right now, my instincts are screaming that the author is dangerous.

“Boss-“

“It’s clear that you have to break it to make it pop.”

“Then what if I use this?”

“Save it. Because I don’t know what will happen. “It’s dangerous if there are traps prepared after this.”

I know that it’s just a puppet to control. However, that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Even if it is a simple puppet, the person controlling it is the worst villain. I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but if he fights back, I’ll have to see if he has a chance of winning.

There are contingency plans prepared for situations like this – but if you just use them, you may end up falling into a trap.

They immediately exchanged glances, then used their abilities and ran forward.

Hyunwoo immediately grabbed his sword and tried to swing it, and Eunji immediately raised his firepower and reached out to the corpse in front of him, and the moment they were about to attack the corpse in front of him –

-Well, even though I said this, I had no intention of fighting.

“…Huh?!”

Their bodies froze.

“This is-“

-Don’t panic. Just think of it as being caught in a spider’s web.

Arms and legs that do not move. Even if you try to pull it with force, the body doesn’t move as if it’s tightly tied to something. Hyunwoo and Eunji looked down and saw that thin threads were wrapped all over their bodies. They then clicked their tongues and raised their heads.

-Of course, you would just clean it up, but I still wanted to hear the story, so I stopped for a moment.

“…It’s annoying.”

– Take it as a compliment.

The thread tying Eun-ji’s body burns in an instant, and the thread touching Hyun-woo’s body is cut in half and falls helplessly to the ground. But they soon stopped their actions and just stared at the corpse in front of them.

No matter how much you hate the author in front of you, there is little chance that the two of you can fight and win against the greatest evil in the world. Even if it were just a doll, it would be better to run away without fighting right now.

Of course, the fact that the author seemed to have no intention of attacking played a part.

“What on earth are you thinking?”

Hyunwoo didn’t understand at all why the author was trying to trap them and have a conversation. Even if the goal is to predict, the only goal is to buy time for other heroes or villains to attack them, but that person would have been able to push them down with force without having to use such laborious methods.

“You’re talking now? “And it was you who came forward yourself, not the others?”

Repentance is a villain group that completely denies the evil brigade. Feeling doubtful that the author was keeping them alive in the first place, Hyunwoo frowned and asked-

-First of all, I would like to praise you. It can be considered an achievement that we followed our plan so thoroughly.

“……”

-Time and time again, he prevented terrorist attacks by his own hands, and even went so far as to steal manpower. If I were to see you face to face, I would at least applaud you.

“Be loud and get to the point.”

-You have a very impatient personality.

A guy who shakes his head as if to sarcastically see Hyunwoo getting annoyed. The corners of the corpse’s mouth, which I had no idea how on earth it was moving, slowly rose, and he got straight to the point.

-Isn’t there a lot for villains to say to each other? Either they don’t like it and come here to declare war – or they only suggest joining forces.

“…Ha?”

-Of course, the former is excluded. You guys aren’t stupid, so you already know that, right?

There is no need to declare war. Not attacking right now means not being hostile, let alone declaring war.

“-Let’s join forces? “Are you crazy?”

However, even if it is the latter, it does not mean that there are no problems at all. Hyunwoo clicked his tongue as if he was embarrassed, and swung his sword as if there was nothing more to say-

-Don’t do that, but think about it carefully.

The black wave that was swinging towards the corpse was blocked by the haze and bounced back. Hyunwoo, who was glaring at the empty space where not even a trace was left, let alone being cut, bit his lip at that fact, and opened his mouth with a laugh at the man’s words.

“If you were truly in your right mind, you wouldn’t have made such a suggestion. “Do you know how many kids in our organization want to slit your throat right now?”

Repentance are people who want to eliminate the evil brigade.

Eujin, Zero, and even Su-a, the new test subject this time, couldn’t have had any good feelings toward the evil brigade, and Sang-hoon and the information merchant, who had already betrayed the evil brigade once, would have been killed right away even if they went back. Even if they looked at their comrades like mere insects, they wouldn’t let a traitor live.

If Repentance, who is accompanying them, suggests joining forces with the evil brigade, will they understand? That will never happen.

Hyeonwoo opened his mouth thinking that, but-

-Repentance is probably like that.

“What?”

-But, wouldn’t the story be different between you and Ash?

The villain in front of me didn’t seem to think so.

-Villain Ash. She doesn’t really have any hatred towards the evil brigade, does she? Those who attacked her in the first place were also those who tried to take revenge on her for what they had done to her, and even if they hit her a little too much, she would eventually just have to back down from this side of her. A ‘little’ fight between the villains can be overlooked because they can just laugh it off.

“This bastard-“

-Isn’t the reason she entered Repentance in the first place because of none other than you? Now, if you just come over here, it will be resolved neatly. Why do you hate us? Let’s see. Is it because of the Serpent and the villains who were targeting you? If they’ve made you hate me, can I just hand their heads over to you cleanly?

Hyeonwoo realized what he was trying to say.

“Are you telling me to betray my colleagues now?”

What the author wants is not repentance. Just myself and Eunji. If only the villain Guardian and Ash join, it will be the end.

When Hyunwoo realized that fact, his expression immediately distorted and he shouted, and tried to continue swinging his sword, but-

-Colleague? That sounds funny. Did you ever consider them colleagues?

“…Ha?”

-Are you sure that the ‘colleague’ you are thinking of is Repentance?

Hyeonwoo froze at his words,

-In the first place, Repentance was a gathering of those who hated the evil brigade, and a place where those who were saved by you and escaped our pursuit gathered. But to put it the other way – aren’t they just your tools, working for the ‘golden generation’ who you are trying to protect?

I immediately closed my mouth.

-Ask again. Is Repentance the comrade you’re thinking of? The way I see it, the people I still see as colleagues seem to be the heroes over there – am I wrong?

I couldn’t respond to what he said for a while.

“…Is that possible?”

-Is that so? If so, I’m sorry. I’m just passing it along as I please.

A moment of silence. But Hyunwoo immediately opened his mouth and grabbed his sword.

“Okay, let’s say what you say is correct. Even if that were the case, the answer would be the same: I can’t be with you guys.”

-I see.

He seemed to agree with Hyunwoo’s words, which again showed hostility toward him, but then he immediately turned his back and began to slowly move forward.

-Then I’m sorry.

“…Is that all?”

-There is no point in forcing someone who doesn’t want to be with you. Don’t you already know this? It seems like he already has some information about this being a corpse and some information about us – so he must also know about my abilities.

What a pity. After saying that, he continued to move forward and-

“You just say that and then go back as is? You? The bastard who destroyed all the bastards who stood in his way? “You’re leaving us alone and running away?”

Hyunwoo felt a strange sense of relief when he saw him gradually disappearing, and glared at him and shouted-

-Hmm… It’s definitely different than before. Why…

The corpse, which had been slowly disappearing from his feet, soon turned his head and laughed with his mouth torn –

-My son is the first to be indebted to me, so I can consider it a courtesy to his benefactor. But- there might not be a next time.

With that said,

-See you next time. Hyunwoo Lee. I’ll expect a positive response then.

They completely disappeared, and soon there was only silence in the alley where they were alone.

“f*ck.”

“…Boss.”

“Let’s go.”

My identity was discovered. No, even though he wore a mask and even his appearance changed, he knew exactly who he was – maybe he already knew that.

At that fact, Eunji looked back at him with a worried expression, but Hyunwoo nervously scratched the back of his head and walked away.

“Go back immediately and change the hideout location.”

Even though I knew all their information, I was just watching. Even if you feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable with that fact –

“f*ck.”

There was nothing they could do other than go back and discuss it right away.
