chapter 29
29 – 029. The Succubus Incident (4)
The time to reach twilight beyond the sunset.
After talking with Ahn Soo-ho, Min Chae-ryeong was immersed in her thoughts with her body deeply buried in her chair.
Succubus…… The culprit in this alleged case knows Ji Ye-won. She said that she even asked the victim directly if she knew a student named Ji Ye-won.
Ahn Su-ho suggested the possibility that this incident was related to the dawn. Min Chaeryeong had the same idea.
Possibility that the succubus is cooperating with the Dawning. Or maybe a member of the Dawning who has abilities similar to that of a succubus is the culprit.
Min Chae-ryeong, who had been predicting various possibilities in her head, turned to her desktop screen. An anonymous letter sent to the academy a few days ago appeared on the screen.
A letter indicating that Yewon Ji is a member of the Ryeomendan.
Perhaps the Ryomyungdan sent such a letter to prevent Ji Ye-Won from entrusting herself to the Green House. Min Chaeryeong guessed that.
That guess was correct. Actually, it was true that the letter was sent from the Dawning Corps.
Anyway. The contents of the letter were too detailed to be a joke, and the guards were dubious and began an investigation. If Min Chae-ryeong had known about her writings first, she would have somehow stopped her, but when she tried to use her hand, it was after Team 7 led by Oh Tae-seong had already started an investigation.
Since the contents of the letter were not yet confirmed as true, only a few people, including Team 7, knew about the contents of the letter even within the guards.
However, since Ji Ye-won’s name came out from the victim’s statement, Lee Tae-ho and Cho Yu-ri and other crew members will soon pay attention to Ji Ye-won through this letter.
In that case, it is inevitable to expand the scale of the investigation. As long as there is a possibility that the Dawning Corps is involved in the injury case that took place inside the academy, the entire guard will launch an investigation.
Where is that? Since the opponent is the Dawning Team, the involvement of the local police cannot be ruled out.
“…… Hmm.”
It was not a pleasant thing for her to see more people following Ji Ye-won’s activities. If she did something wrong, she might find out that she was hiding her Ji Ye-won.
The Dawning Corps is an anti-government terrorist group designated by the state.
The member must immediately report it to the police upon discovery, and those who intentionally hide or assist members of the Rising Guard are subject to punishment according to relevant laws.
What if she finds out that she hid Yewon Ji?
Using her own connections, it’s not difficult to cover up the incident itself. If it was impossible to cover it up in the first place, I wouldn’t have tried to embrace Ji Ye-won from the beginning.
However, she did not like the fact that in the process, she would give her mobilized personal connections the weakness that ‘Min Chae-ryeong was related to the Dawning Corps’. Even if she’s fine right now, the moment something goes wrong with her, her enemies will try to bite her, claiming her weakness.
Is Ji Ye-won worth taking such a risk?
About a fortnight ago, when she first heard about Ji Ye-won, she nodded her head without hesitation to the question.
The Dawning Team is a thoroughly shrouded criminal organization. Even if you’re a traitor, the opportunity to secure an informant for that organization seldom comes.
Her information about the Dawn gave her plenty of room for her use.
For example, handing over information to police officials who need achievements to give grace. Conversely, approaching members of the Dawning Corps and threatening to report them for secondary gains.
I passed information to other criminal organizations that competed with the Dawning Corps to gain connections in the underworld, and in the process, secretly siphoned off the back money the Dawning Corps earned illegally.
It is impossible for ordinary people. It was possible because Min Chae-ryeong had numerous subordinates and connections. For the past 15 days, Min Chae-ryeong used the information that Ji Ye-won vomited in the right place and made a considerable profit.
Having Ji Ye-won definitely comes with risks, but Ji Ye-won is worth it.
It was worth it.
But now?
Ji Ye-won is not an idiot. She knew very well that the value of her existence was the information of the Dawning. That’s why she didn’t tell Min Chaeryeong all the information at once. She deliberately slowed the rate at which her cards of information ran out.
However, even so, the information Ji Ye-won possesses will eventually run out someday.
Min Chaeryeong estimated how much useful information Ji Ye-won would have left. She was an estimate to the last. And with that estimate, Min Chae-ryeong weighed the risk and return of hiding Ji Ye-won once again.
‘…… It’s ambiguous.’
Yewon Ji’s position within the Dawning was not very high. The information she possesses must eventually be limited.
Min Chae-ryeong guessed that she was not far from that limit.
‘Yes, I wrote enough.’
The time when the investigation into Ji Ye-won is about to begin in earnest. Carrying on Ji Ye-won more than this could be poisonous to him.
Once she thought that, the puzzle about Ji Ye-won’s disposition quickly began to come together in her head.
‘It would be impossible to hand it over to the police now. In order to live, I will bite myself and the guards. Even if they manipulate memories, it’s not like the police don’t have someone with the ability to read memories.’
…… Would I rather die in peace?
Those thoughts passed through Min Chaeryeong’s mind.
It was easy for her to kill and hide one of her people. Even the only ones who are mobilized in the process are her subordinates, who are ‘dependent’ on her both physically and mentally. Therefore, there is nothing to be caught by others as a weakness.
It is difficult to cover up Ji Ye-won’s existence after it is revealed. But it’s easy to kill her first from this side and then cover up.
Then she just takes the easy way herself. Ji Ye-Won’s usefulness still remains, but considering the risk, there are times when you have to throw away some returns.
‘But… ….’
However, at that moment, the existence of Ahn Su-ho came to Min Chae-ryeong’s mind.
Ahn Soo-ho. The dubious rookie must have some kind of relationship with Ji Ye-won. It was a reasonable doubt.
Min Chaeryeong thought. At first, she wondered who had brought the information about Ji Ye-won to her. It was Ahn Soo-ho.
‘I was the one who decided to help Ji Ye-won after hearing An Su-ho’s story. But why did Ahn Su-ho bring that information to me?’
People move with gains and losses. It was her theory. When she based on that theory, Ahn Soo-ho must have gained something by saving Ji Ye-won through herself.
You got the talisman? Yeah, maybe that was the purpose. But it has too many uncertainties.
I had already opened Ansuho once with the Talisman, but as he said, getting Talisman in the hands of Ansuho was like a miracle that happened after countless coincidences overlapped.
Talisman is not the benefit he intended. If so, what are his intended gains?
‘Showing off your information power to me? I have enough information to even read the inside affairs of the Dawning Corps, does that mean?’
No, it’s too vague a gain. Do I need to take a risk and take another look at myself, who has already kept an eye on Professor Shin Jin-woo’s intelligence?
‘Or, like me, wanting to get an informant inside the Rising?’
No, it can’t be. Ahn Su-ho already has enough intelligence to find out if there is a traitor inside the Rising Team. He wouldn’t have to pay attention to his value as an informant and protect Ji Ye-won.
‘Then, on the contrary, was the purpose of giving me an informant named Ji Ye-won?’
This was a little plausible. He may have guessed that he could use Ji Ye-won usefully and handed Ji Ye-won over to himself. A feeling of giving some kind of favor.
Yes. That’s why it makes sense.
However, is that really the only reason?
I wonder if Ahn Su-ho was going to take the big risk of hiding a member of the Dawning Corps just to give himself a small favor?
To help Jiyewon means to help the terrorists designated by the state. Did Ahn Su-ho make such a proposal to himself just for such a trivial reason?
No, that’s not reasonable.
Min Chaeryeong thought. If Ahn Su-ho’s actions seemed unreasonable, there were two possibilities.
He acted according to her feelings or impulses, not rationality according to her reason, or his actions were rational based on reasons she did not know.
No matter what, the conclusion was the same. There is some kind of relationship between Ahn Soo-ho and her Ji Ye-won that she doesn’t know about. And because of that relationship, Ahn Su-ho must have saved Ji Ye-won.
However, he decided that it was impossible with his own strength, so he might have attracted the ambitious guard team leader named Min Chae-ryeong.
It was only a hypothesis.
However, if the hypothesis is unreliable, she will have to prove it.
As the investigation into Ji Ye-won is about to begin in earnest, Ahn Su-ho must also know that holding on to Ji Ye-won is dangerous.
If he said that he should throw Ji Ye-won out, if Ahn Su-ho would reject his opinion.
– Smart.
If you can’t even come up with a justification or reason to say so, even though you refuse.
“…… Come in.”
If Ahn Soo-ho shows such a reaction, this suspicion will soon become certain.
Opening the door to the team leader’s office and watching Ahn Soo-ho silently enter, Chae-ryeong Min narrowed her eyes.
***
It’s dark.
The scenery outside the window was already colored with the dusky color of the sun after it had gone down. The indigo blue light that seemed to fade at any moment dimly illuminated the inside of the team leader’s office.
Min Chaeryeong was waiting for Ahn Soo-ho without even turning on the light. She was immersed in complete darkness.
Ahn Su-ho relayed the story he heard from Lee Young-han to Min Chae-ryeong. Of course, even the story about Ji Ye-won is without exception.
After hearing her story, Min Chae-ryeong looked at him with her dubious eyes. A cold gaze, like a snake looking for prey, pierced Ahn Su-ho’s forehead.
Ahn Su-ho roughly guessed what Min Chaeryeong was thinking.
The succubus incident was no longer an important issue for him. And that would be the same for Min Chaeryeong. He thought so
“Ahn Soo-ho. Let me ask you one thing. Why did you try to save Ji Ye-won?”
“It was an opportunity to get an informant for the Dawning. I thought she shouldn’t miss it.”
Min Chae-ryeong smiled softly at Ahn Su-ho’s immediate reply and shook her head. Because it was the answer she expected.
“Really? But you already have an informant in the Dawning. I don’t think you need a new source if you can get your hands on information about a traitor within the Dawn.”
“I wanted to give the team leader an informant as well. If you are the team leader, you will be able to use Ji Ye-won’s information usefully.”
Again, Min Chae-ryeong shook her head. Like the answer she expected.
“Right. As you said, Yewon Ji was very useful. Thanks to that, I had some fun in my own way for the past two weeks.”
But.
Min Chaeryeong added that and told Ahn Suho.
“You know our situation is a bit dangerous, right? If the investigation into Ji Ye-won starts in earnest due to this incident, there is no guarantee that Ji Ye-won will be kept hidden forever. If Ji Ye-won’s whereabouts are revealed and the guards or the police find out that you and I are intertwined there…….”
Min Chaeryeong’s eyes were torn thinly. Ahn Su-ho swallowed dry saliva at the tension that came up to her and squeezed her chest.
“…… Do you know what will happen?”
The Dawning Corps is an anti-government organization designated by the state. Members must report to the police immediately upon discovery, and if they know this but do not report the whereabouts of the member or intentionally assist, they will be punished according to the relevant laws.
It was common sense taken for granted in this world, and Ahn Su-ho knew about it too.
“You probably don’t know, but on the Monday following the weekend of the battle in the abandoned building, an anonymous letter arrived at the academy.”
Min Chae-ryeong turned her desktop screen to Ahn Su-ho. On the brightly lit screen, a letter was displayed claiming that Yewon Ji was a member of the Ryeomendan.
“It’s a letter to let Ji Ye-won know that she is a member of the Ryeo-won. It’s too detailed to be dismissed as a joke, so Team 7 has already started an investigation. Well, there wasn’t much harvest, so it seemed like it would fade soon……. Ji Ye-won’s name came out in this statement, so the investigation will be rekindled. Rather, it is stronger than before.”
“I can’t… ….”
Ahn Su-ho, who did not even know that such a letter existed, was astonished.
It didn’t matter whether the letter was from the Dawning or not. The important thing is that, as Min Chae-ryeong said, the guards paid attention to a student named Ji Ye-won.
“No matter how much the guards start their investigation in earnest, they won’t get caught in the slightest. My work was perfect. Because I didn’t leave a single trace that would let me know that Ji Ye-won was in my hands.”
“Then-.”
“But, if not as much as I am, the other team members are quite competent. Does that make you a little anxious?”
I feel anxious. There was not even a hint of anxiety to be found in Min Chaeryeong’s expression when she said that. Rather, she even showed pleasure.
“Of course, you can go unnoticed. But you can get caught. It’s a story about risk. And as a result of thinking about the risks and returns for Ji Ye-won, I think it is reasonable to give up on her.”
“Throwing away… ….”
Is Ji Ye-won handed over to the police? Such a complacent thought passed through Ahn Su-ho’s mind.
However, unlike Ahn Su-ho, Min Chae-ryeong was a thorough woman.
In the darkness, Min Chae-ryeong’s eyes were narrowed. It was a laugh. Even though it would be unpleasant for her to find out Yewon Ji’s whereabouts, Min Chae-ryeong smiled like a snake at what was so enjoyable.
With a deep smile on her face, Min Chae-ryeong said softly.
“I have to kill you. Neatly.”
Kill Yewon Ji.
There was no emotional agitation in Min Chaeryeong’s expression when she said that.
A moral objection to killing people? There is no jaw for such a thing. Such unnecessary humanity was immediately removed.
From Min Chaeryeong’s cold smile, Ahn Suho guessed that fact. Min Chae-ryeong said that if necessary, she would kill Ji Ye-won without even a moment’s hesitation. She instinctively felt that way.
“But-.”
A word that came out of nowhere. Words that couldn’t form proper sentences lingered in Ahn Su-ho’s mouth.
You shouldn’t kill Ji Ye-won. I had to tell Min Chaeryeong that.
However, before Ahn Su-ho could say anything, Min Chae-ryeong opened her mouth first, as if he could clearly see his true intentions.
“Do you want to oppose the killing of Yewon Ji? Yes, if there is a good reason, I will listen to it.”
“However, don’t try to persuade me by talking about the value of Ji Ye-won’s information. I made the decision after weighing the information she might already have on her and the risk to her if she continues to hide her.”
“Also, the risk factors for killing Ji Ye-won… …. For example, you don’t have to worry about Ji Ye-won’s rebellion or the destruction of evidence after killing her. If you set your mind to it, you can kill at once without any chance to resist, and erasing the traces of killing one person is not a job for me.”
“Also, I don’t think that will happen, but don’t think about promoting trivial morals and ethics. You don’t mean to say that you shouldn’t kill people, do you?”
“Okay, so.”
“Apart from the reasons just mentioned, if there are any reasons against killing Ji Ye-Won, could you please tell me?”
Ahn Suho could not answer. He couldn’t answer.
Looking at Min Chae-ryeong, who blocked all her possibilities even before she could come up with an excuse, Ahn Su-ho could tell that she was well prepared.
From the time he heard his report on this statement, or even before that.
Min Chae-ryeong must have been guessing when she would beat Ji Ye-won a long time ago. Such a thought crossed Ahn Su-ho’s mind.
‘I was too complacent. I thought it would be fine, at least for a while.’
It wasn’t such an easy decision. Even if Ji Ye-won’s name had not been mentioned in this case, Min Chae-ryeong would not have thought of killing Ye-won Ji.
‘What should I do?’
For whatever reason, I had to oppose this decision. If Yewon Ji dies, he will die too.
However, Ahn Su-ho could not answer. Her nervous head couldn’t concoct a plausible excuse. Min Chae-ryeong asked softly as she looked at Ahn Soo-ho, who was momentarily frozen.
“Can silence be seen as affirmation? Or not… ….”
Min Chaeryeong’s words stretched out. The gap between words widens. The more it opened, the clearer the voice lingered in Ahn Su-ho’s ears.
“Do you have any circumstances that you cannot tell me?”
“That is.”
As she stabbed her in the head, cold sweat ran down Ahn Su-ho’s back at those words.
Min Chaeryeong’s eyes bent like a crescent moon. Her attitude as if she knew it all.
‘There’s no way he knew.’
No matter how good Chae-ryeong Min is, how would she notice the penalty by the system? However, she must have already realized that there are circumstances she cannot tell herself.
‘Should I rather talk about the system openly? If Ji Ye-won dies, I will die as a penalty?’
She immediately shook her head. She can’t believe such absurd words. If she did, she would lose even the trust she had built up so far.
‘Or should I be evasive? She said she had a reason to save Ji Ye-won. But she can’t talk yet?’
I also shook my head. It’s only once or twice that I’m evasive. If she continued to do so, it was certain that she would arouse unfounded suspicion. No, is her suspicion already bought?
Ahn Su-ho sighed. It’s stuffy, as if you’ve reached a dead end.
There was a tense silence between the two. Min Chae-ryeong looks at Ahn Su-ho with a relaxed attitude, as if asking her to do something if she has something to say. Looking at Min Chae-ryeong, Ahn Su-ho couldn’t bear to speak and his lips moved.
There was silence.
There was silence.
Silence filled the space.
An eternity passed without either of them uttering a word.
And the next moment.
“Poo-hyuk!”
Min Chaeryeong, who had been silent all along, suddenly laughed.
It was different from the smiles I’ve had so far, as if I couldn’t stand it and burst out.
“Puheh! Ahahahaha!”
Min Chaeryeong laughed. Her laughter couldn’t escape, so she burst into laughter.
Ahn Su-ho couldn’t help but be embarrassed. He didn’t know why Min Chaeryeong was laughing. She couldn’t help but laugh. But why is she smiling? Why is it so funny that the team leader’s office laughs so much?
Catching Ahn Su-ho’s gaze, which was filled with embarrassment, Min Chae-ryeong soon said as if it was nothing special.
“Don’t look so serious. Killing Ji Ye-Won or something like that was all just one thing.”
“……… Yes?”
“Just kidding. Joke. I did it once because I was curious to see how you would react.”
She laughed so much that Min Chae-ryeong even had tears in her eyes. She wiped the tears from her eyes with her fingers.
On the other hand, Suho Ahn was still perplexed. As time went on, the embarrassment did not go away, but rather got worse.
‘You’re kidding? Everything you said so far?’
Doesn’t that sound like nonsense? Ahn Su-ho asked with a half-doubtful attitude, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
“…… Are you kidding? Then you won’t kill me?”
“Yes. I told you. The work was perfect. I have the confidence that I will never find out about Ji Ye-won. Even if it gets caught, I can cover it enough from my line.”
“Are you serious?”
“Well, I mean it. Would you say that a person whose name is the leader of the guard team kills people so casually? Puhhh.”
Min Chaeryeong laughs all the time. Seeing Min Chaeryeong like that, Ahn Suho also smiled awkwardly. He laughed, but he wasn’t laughing at all.
I was embarrassed. It was confusing. As soon as the embarrassment and confusion passed, anger gradually rose. ‘You said everything you said was a joke? How seriously did you take what I said? How dare you play with me?’ Such thoughts filled Ahn Soo-ho’s mind.
However, even after the anger has gone, a question arises with the reason that gradually returns.
Min Chaeryeong said it was all a joke. But did she really kill Ji Ye-won with her joke?
‘No, it can’t be.’
Ahn Su-ho immediately shook his head. It can’t be a joke. She couldn’t be kidding. When she said she would kill Ji Ye-won, she obviously meant it. There was such a spirit and force that it was clear that she was sincere.
Min Chae-ryeong contemplated whether to kill Ji Ye-won with her sincerity. She sincerely questioned herself. Even so, why did she suddenly change her attitude 180 degrees and say it was a joke?
With the cold reason that had returned perfectly before he knew it, Ahn Su-ho was able to guess the intention without difficulty.
‘…… Are you saying you’ll take a look?’
The suspicious relationship between Ahn Soo-ho and Ji Ye-won. If you want to interrogate, she can interrogate as much as you like. However, I will skip this one time.
Min Chae-ryeong, rather than questioning the truth, she chose to take a look at him. Why she made that choice, she couldn’t figure out as An Su-ho. She could be a mere whim, or it could be her purpose to grace him. Perhaps Ahn Su-ho himself had an extraordinary reason that he could not have imagined.
Only Min Chaeryeong would know the answer to that question.
“I’ll take a look this time.”
What’s so interesting about it? What’s so fun what is so happy what’s so funny
As if she couldn’t control her laughter, Min Chae-ryeong’s smile grew thicker.
“You owe me one today. Got it?”
I owe you. Min Chae-ryeong said, putting a strange accent on her words.
At that moment, a red light flashed in Min Chae-ryeong’s eyes.
***
At that time, Yeongrangho Lake Park located near the Green House.
A mysterious woman was sitting on a bench along the path around the lake where no human being could be found.
The woman’s name is Jihyun Park. She is an executive officer of the Gangwon-do branch of the Ryomyungdan, and was also the main culprit in what the guards call the “Succubus incident.”
Contrary to the expectations of the guards, it was she who attacked the men in the academy, not the succubus. And her purpose, as Min Chae-ryeong and Ahn Su-ho guessed, was to pursue Ji Ye-won’s whereabouts.
Jihyun Park spoke into the phone while looking at the scenery of the lake that was not so quiet.
“Hello. Her grandfather. It’s late. Are you awake? They say that as you get older, you sleep more in the evening. Isn’t that what it is?”
– Tsk. Stop talking nonsense and just report on the progress. How’s the search going?
The other person on the other side of the phone was Yoo Hyeon-ho, an executive of the Dawning Corps, just like her. In response to Yoo Hyun-ho’s question, Park Ji-hyun wiped the blood off her mouth with her tongue.
“So far, I haven’t had much income. She just asked that she was close with Ji Ye-won, but he said she had no idea where Ji Ye-won was now.”
-How many people have you touched so far?
“Five people. Two on the first day, three today.”
-That’s a bit much. The guards seem to have smelled it, so take your time. If you run too noticeably, you might get caught.
“Ahahahahaha! Don’t worry. When I moved, I always moved in an invisible state, and when I worked, I always did it in a place where there were no CCTVs.”
-Don’t conclude that their only means is CCTV. The security guard is also an investigative agency. It wouldn’t be strange if he possessed one or two psychic powers related to criminal tracking.
“Okay. I’ll be careful. Anyway, the nagging is really bad-.”
-Tut blame blame blame blame.
At that time, Park Ji-hyun stopped talking and turned his head away at the sound of footsteps coming from afar.
Far from her, along the road round her lake, a man was running toward her. Are you jogging at night? She didn’t think much of it, but Park Ji-hyun kept a close eye on the man who was gradually approaching.
As the distance between the two narrowed, the man’s figure became clearer in Park Ji-hyun’s eyes.
The height is about 185. The outfit is sweatpants with a hood zip-up. Her face was obscured by the shade of the hood she wore down, but the lower official appeared to be her age.
The eyes of the two met. However, I literally only encountered them. Park Ji-hyun, who immediately took her eyes off the man, turned his head away, not feeling much interest.
I tried to turn it.
Until I found a ring with a blue jewel on the man’s right hand.
A man passed by Jihyun Park. Park Ji-hyun followed him with a surprised expression. She kept her gaze fixed only on the man’s right hand.
Jihyun Park slowly stood up from her seat. She began to see her red mist creeping from her body.
“…… Found.”
– Found it? What does that mean-
In the next moment, Park Ji-hyun’s body rushed toward the man like an arrow.
-Pain!
Spreading her red mist, Park Ji-hyun reached the man in an instant. Her sharp nails aim at the man’s neck.
-Teouk.
“…… Huh?”
However, the surprise attack failed. The blow he delivered with great force was blocked in vain. Park Ji-hyun, whose right arm was grabbed by her man, exclaimed with her surprised face.
“Hmm?”
I managed to block the surprise, but the man was also surprised. The man’s gaze slowly moved from Park Ji-hyun’s right hand to her face. Suddenly, a question appears on her face.
“……Who are you? It’s the first time I’ve seen this face.”
“Quit!”
Park Ji-hyun tried to take her right arm out, but it was immovable. The sound of bones breaking in her wrists echoed from the strength of the man’s grip, which was so tight that the veins stood out.
-Wooddeuk!
“Keuheugh?!”
Pang. Immediately after, her body turned into a red mist. Park Ji-hyeon’s body, which had been transformed into her fog and escaped from the man’s grasp, took her shape again from ten meters away. Her wrist, which had been broken by a man, had been restored before she knew it.
“Oh.”
The man, who looked at it as if he was curious, took off his hooded zip-up and threw it away.
The exposed man’s face was a sad, handsome man. He has a look that will catch the attention of many women just by passing by. But beneath it was a stocky, muscular body that didn’t match that face.
-Wooddeuk. Awesome
Bones rang out from the man’s fists. Loosening the knuckles of his fists, the man slowly approached Park Ji-hyeon and asked.
“It’s an amazing ability. What are you?”
“……So who are you? Why do you have that talisman?”
“Huh? This? It’s something that a pretty sister left me a few weeks ago. Oh, did you come to pick it up?”
The man held up the talisman in his right hand as if showing off. Park Ji-Hyun’s gaze turned to that direction, and the man smiled.
“I guess that’s right. But what to do. The older sister who entrusted this to me told me not to take it away from someone else until she comes back to find it.”
“……What?”
“Seeing how they attack at random, I can get a rough estimate. At least, I’m guessing you’re not that sister’s colleague?”
The man who said that lowered his stance with his fists in front.
-Hwi Oh Oh Oh!
Only the talisman in his hand emitted a blue light. A bluish aura began to swirl around the man’s body. At the unusual momentum, Park Ji-hyun quietly stepped back and asked.
“……Who are you?”
“Ryu Tae-hyeon.”
The man grinned and recites three letters of his name. As if he doesn’t even have a distance.
“I’m a fresh freshman who just started school today.”
“Ha.”
Park Ji-hyun laughed dejectedly at the refreshing answer that did not suit the atmosphere. Soon she took her stance with her arms in front of her. Her sharp-grown fingernails shimmered brightly in the moonlight.
A sudden battle situation. However, the man, Ryu Tae-hyun, was not shaken at all.
Taehyun Ryu.
The original protagonist of the age of superhumans.
Any protagonist in the world should be able to boldly deal with sudden events like this.
“You attacked first, so it’s self-defense from now on.”
The next moment, Ryu Tae-hyun’s new model disappeared.
