There was a battle.
It was a battle between the two.
It was a battle between Park Ji-hyeon, an executive of the Ryeoungdan, and Ryu Tae-hyeon, a student at the Green House.
It was a one-on-one battle in which no one else intervened.
However, who can believe that after seeing this scene?
Craters dented all over the place. Collapsed ground. A tree cut in half.
The appearance of the lake park after the battle was reminiscent of a war rather than a battle. No one would easily believe that the landscape was created by just two people, to be exact, just one person.
“Ah.”
In the middle of the tragedy, Ryu Tae-hyeon was shaking off the dust on his body. There were few wounds. At most, a little bit of blood from a slightly torn wound.
He looked straight ahead with a dejected expression.
Among the craters carved everywhere, this is a particularly large one. There was only a red mist left where Park Ji-Hyeon had been placed just before, and Park Ji-Hyun was nowhere to be seen.
“They ran away.”
My pleasantly heated body gradually cooled down in the night breeze. The reason heated up by the battle gradually calmed down, and various thoughts filled his mind.
Ryu Taehyun looked down at his right hand. More than half a month ago, a woman left the Talisman in her care.
‘…… Would you like to help? Then can I ask you a favor without shame?’
About 15 days ago. A woman with light blue hair with scars all over her body. The woman said so to Ryu Tae-hyun, who came out to help in an unusual appearance.
‘It’s no big deal. I just want you to take care of one thing. As soon as possible…… I will definitely come to find it, so please keep this item until then.’
As the woman gestured into the air, the space split into small cracks. She reached her hand through the crack and pulled out two small ring cases.
It was a fact that Yewon Ji did not know,
The woman handed one of the two ring cases to Ryu Tae-hyeon, who was gazing at the mysterious scene in awe.
Ryu Tae-hyeon opened the case. A ring that emitted a soft blue light even without any lighting. Ryu Tae-hyeon, sensing that it was an unusual object, asked the woman what it was.
However, the woman desperately shook her head. I can’t tell you, rather than you shouldn’t know. It was such a gesture.
‘Please. It’s a very important thing. So don’t take it off your body even for a moment and always carry it with you. Never pass it on to someone else. I’ll come find you soon, but……. If I don’t come, even if someone asks for a ring, you can’t give it to me.’
Taehyun Ryu looked down at the case containing the ring in a rather serious attitude.
Is this ring that important?
If it’s that important, wouldn’t it be better to keep it with you instead of entrusting it to yourself, a passer-by?
At Ryu Tae-hyeon’s obvious question, the woman shook her head with a painful expression.
‘If I have it, it will be taken away soon.’
‘I’m sorry. I’m running out of time, so I’ll give you a detailed explanation later. Here’s my number. Please contact me at this time tomorrow. I’ll tell you where to get the ring back.’
‘My name is Mina Kim.’
‘I will definitely come back to get it back. Please.’
With those words, Mina Kim left again. Her scars writhed through her body.
The next day, Ryu Tae-hyun called the number Kim Min-a gave. She called several times, but she never answered the phone. As if she had ejaculation that she couldn’t get.
Inevitably, Ryu Tae-hyeon decided to keep the ring himself for the time being. If you keep waiting, you will be contacted someday.
It was three days later that Ryu Tae-hyeon put Talisman on his finger out of curiosity.
“Hmm.”
Recalling his memories of Talisman, Ryu Tae-hyeon made a puzzled expression.
I expected it to be an unusual item and an unusual situation, but I never thought there would be people who would attack me for this ring.
He was the one who volunteered to help out, but he said he might have been involved in something quite troublesome. Ryu Taehyung sighed lightly.
-Whehehehe!!!
At that time, Ryu Tae-hyun raised his head at the sound of a siren coming from afar.
On the other side of the gloomy lake, the light of the warning light gradually approaches, alternating between red and blue. Ryu Tae-hyeon’s expression turned a lead color in an instant.
‘…… f*cked!’
He looked around. He fought pretty spectacularly. It seems that someone reported it. Guessing that, Ryu Tae-hyeon immediately turned around.
However, on the other side of the lake, police cars with warning lights were already approaching them. It was clear that coming to him in a straight line had already found him.
A messy lake park. Police cars rushing in from all directions.
This thought flashed through Ryu Tae-hyeon’s mind, standing alone in the middle of it.
‘f*cked…… !’
I think it must have been f*cked up.
That was the conclusion he came to after careful consideration.
***
March 3rd. Tuesday.
The second day after the incident. The number of victims in the incident increased by three to five in one day.
As a result of the statement, it was revealed that all of them were seniors who were about to graduate, and that all of them were equally asked, “Do you know about Ji Ye-won?”
The fact was known to the guards, and after that it was as expected by Min Chaeryeong.
A letter about Ji Ye-won that Team 7 was investigating. And this succubus incident.
The guards determined that there was a connection between the two incidents. In other words, it was judged that the Dawning Corps was involved in this succubus incident.
As expected by Min Chaeryeong, the scale of the investigation quickly expanded. In addition to the 7 teams that were previously investigating the writing case, 3 teams from the special department, and 1 team from the general department were selected to investigate Ji Ye-won. At the same time, a formal report was received to the police, and the local police also started investigating Ji Ye-won.
In contrast, Min Chaeryeong did not take any action. It seems that you are really confident that you will not be noticed.
‘Now that it’s like that, for the time being, So-yeon should stay by Ji Ye-won’s side 24 hours a day.’
At least the measures taken were the decision to put Chae-yeon, who used to monitor Ji-won only during the day, in a safe house 24 hours a day.
‘………… Evanden.’
There was a small objection from Chae-yeon, but she was lightly ignored. I could still see her as Chae-yeon, swallowing her displeasure with only her lips pouting.
She was a bit exhilarated, to be honest.
“Ahn Soo-ho. Have you prepared all the documents to hand over to Team 3?”
“We are preparing now, senior. Uh, but where are you going?”
Lee Tae-ho was ready to go out. He nodded at my question and said calmly.
“I am going to the Sokcho Police Station from now on. The student, presumed to be the sixth victim in this case, is currently being detained in that detention center.”
“Huh, how did the victim end up in jail?”
When I asked with a puzzled face, Lee Tae-ho agreed and nodded his head.
“Yesterday, a first-year student at our academy was caught by the police after a report from a nearby resident while causing a disturbance at Yeongrangho Lake Park. The student claimed that it was not a riot, but that someone jumped in and fought in self-defense. Like the other victims, he also had a bite wound on his neck, so he must be the victim of this case.”
“I see. Isn’t this the first time something happened outside the academy?”
“Yes. Moreover, unlike other victims, this victim did not lose consciousness even after contact with the perpetrator. I think we can come up with some pretty useful statements. In the meantime, all the victims had hazy memories.”
“That’s good. So, who is that first-year student?”
A question posed without much meaning. It was just a question raised out of curiosity about the fact that he was a freshman like the main character.
“They said it was Ryu Tae-hyeon.”
“……… Yes?”
Because of this, the moment the name of the main character came out of Lee Tae-ho’s mouth, I couldn’t help but panic.
“Why? Are you a student you know?”
“…… No. I do not know.”
“I guess so. I’m a freshman who just started school yesterday.”
Lee Tae-ho nodded his head with a calm attitude. However, this one couldn’t calm down at all.
‘Ryu Tae-hyeon? Why is he here?’
Today is March 3rd. Second day of the semester. If the story unfolds according to the original story, Taehyung Ryu would be taking classes without any problems. But what does it mean that he is now in a detention center?
‘Has the plot changed?’
I expected that the development would change somewhat because of my presence. However, the main character gets caught up in a twisted development. What kind of joke of fate is this?
With a head stained with bewilderment, I quickly retraced the development of the original work.
The incident that was originally scheduled for today is a sparring between students in an interpersonal martial arts class.
The opponent in Dalian is mid-gyeol, who is the first year’s top student and also the heroine of this work.
However, that Ryu Tae-hyeon is now locked up in a detention center.
‘f*cked. It’s f*cking twisted.’
The first meeting between the main character and the heroine failed. While shocked by the fact, Lee Tae-ho was about to leave the office.
“Senior!”
“Why is that?”
“Well, can I go with you?”
A word that came out in a haphazard way. Even if I went with him, I wouldn’t be able to get him out of the detention center, so why did I say this?
Perhaps it was because he was anxious. The fact that the original development was getting twisted in a place I didn’t know about made me uneasy.
“What are you talking about? There was no need to go two by one to listen to ejaculation. Stop talking nonsense and prepare the documents to hand over to Team 3 with Cho Yu-ri.”
Lee Tae-ho left the office with those words. My gaze, which had half risen to catch him, wandered with nowhere to go.
“Uh, then. Su, Suho? This is an abstract of the document to be handed over to Team 3. This, I picked the number of people, so I picked it, kaka. Binding from over there, can you do it for me…… ?”
My head was filled with things about Ryu Tae-hyeon. He struggled to calm his confused mind and sought a way to undo this twist.
“Suho? My, may I ask for a copy….”
The first meeting between the main character and the heroine failed. If so, can’t we create a similar encounter?
“Su, Suho…… ?”
No, it was impossible for me. I didn’t even have a one-on-one relationship with Ryu Tae-hyeon or mid-winter. But how can I create a natural encounter between the two?
“Binding. Uh, papers, binding some… ….”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a way to do this. It seems that I have no choice but to give up on dealing with this development.
“Heh, hehehe! Su, Suho…….”
However, even if I gave up on probation, I had to meet Ryu Tae-hyeon. Whether it was a coincidence that he came into contact with the culprit in this case. Because that fact had to be made clear.
‘I need to get Ryu Tae-hyeon’s contact information first so that I can contact him right away once he is released from the detention center.’
If you ask the administrative department, you will be able to get that much easily. The reason can be roughly evasive to the extent of listening to the circumstances of this case.
“Su, Suho-.”
“Senior. I will go to the administration department for a while.”
“Oh, yes. I, I, I, I will do the binding…….”
“Yes? Ah yes. I’m rooting for you.”
I nodded to Yuri Cho, who was holding an armful of paperwork, and left the office.
***
A detention center in Sokcho Police Station.
After seeking cooperation from the police, Lee Tae-ho entered the detention center to meet Ryu Tae-hyeon.
The detention center of the Sokcho Police Station had a double structure. At the entrance, there was a general detention center to confine ordinary people, and beyond the tightly closed iron gate inside it was a place to confine superhumans such as Ryu Tae-hyeon.
Superhuman’s physical abilities range from two to three times to dozens of times that of ordinary people. The facility to confine them was different from the general lockup.
Basically, the thickness of the iron bars was more than twice as high as that of a normal prison cell, and the material was also a special alloy, not simple steel. The detainees were wearing shackles with built-in electric shock functions, dozens of surveillance cameras were lined up on the ceiling, and sentry guns that fired sedative bullets were attached to each street corner.
The term prison rather than detention facility would be appropriate.
However, I couldn’t help it. At least this kind of equipment needs to be equipped to detain superhumans with extraordinary physical abilities.
The deepest part of that bloody lockup. The place with the most strict boundaries even in this detention center.
Ryu Tae-hyeon was detained right there.
“… ….”
Lee Tae-ho swallowed dryly as he saw Ryu Tae-hyeon staring at him with a blank face inside the cage.
‘…… He made his body brutal once.’
Superhumans have much stronger strength than ordinary people with the same amount of muscle. However, the same was true for superhumans, as muscle mass increased, muscle strength increased.
Lee Tae-ho looked at Ryu Tae-hyeon’s sculpted body. The upper body filled with only muscles without wasting an inch clearly revealed the potential he had.
– Jump up.
Ryu Tae-hyeon stood up from his seat and approached the barricade. Soon, his hand violently gripped the bar, and thick tendons sprouted from his forearm.
Ryu Tae-hyeon glared at Lee Tae-ho. He carries clear hostility.
‘I don’t know why you’re hostile towards me, but it’s not a good idea to cooperatively obtain a statement.’
Lee Tae-ho took a stance at the unusual momentum that emanated from him. He instinctively felt it. If the man in front of me made up his mind, this barbed wire would break like candy.
“Detective.”
Ryu Tae-hyeon opened his mouth. He knew that Lee Tae-ho, who had come to see him, was a detective.
“What time is it?”
“…… 11 O’clock. 11:28.”
When Lee Tae-ho lifted up his watch, Ryu Tae-hyeon’s eyes focused on it. The head that had been staring at the watch for a long time bent. A deep sigh escaped immediately after.
“…… The attendance check must have ended immediately. Damn…….”
Right after the complaint was over, he fired at Lee Tae-ho.
“…… Hey there, Detective. Let’s do one favor.”
“Please?”
“See that chest of drawers over there? There’s my phone in the second drawer over there. Please take it out for a moment just for one phone call. This is the white mother phone number 11.”
It was absurd to hand over a communication device to someone detained in a detention center. However, Lee Tae-ho pulled out his cell phone from the drawer in a cold sweat at the animal-like spirit emanating from him.
“…… A phone call is fine, but I can’t hand my cell phone over to you. I’ll handle it for you Will you be okay though?”
“It doesn’t matter. Please make just one call to the number saved as Professor So-Young Do in the contact information. There are no patterns.”
When I pressed the call button and brought up my cell phone, Ryu Tae-hyeon was pressed against the barricade.
-Turrr.
-Turrr.
An endless beep sound.
– Boom.
-Hello?
Ryu Tae-hyun immediately answered the woman’s voice that flowed out.
“Yes, Professor! Hello. My name is Ryu Tae-hyun, a freshman in Class A this year!”
With a refreshing tone that is completely different from before.
“Sorry for the sudden contact. Yes, that’s right. For not attending class. I have a personal situation, so I’m in class today……. Oh, you’ve already been contacted. Yes. Yes. No, that’s just self-defense for now……. Yes. No. Yes. Uh, sorry. Professor. It’s never…….”
Lee Tae-ho couldn’t hide his bewilderment as he saw Ryu Tae-hyeon struggling with the opponent over the phone. Where did the momentum from the day before go? He looked harmless and even pitiful in his appearance as he struggled to continue talking on the phone while clinging to the barbed wire.
“Yes. Professor. I remember. Be proud as a superman, but never act arrogantly. That’s what you said at OT on the first day. I will listen deeply to my heart. No, sorry. I’ll be careful in the future. Yes. So, by the way, I’m sorry, but in case you attended the interpersonal martial arts class today……. Yes, I am not wrong. Wouldn’t it be rare? It was justification. It was also recorded on CCTV. Yes? Iknow, right. It’s obviously caught on CCTV, but they won’t release it. Yes, Professor. Anyway, so in regards to attendance, how can I handle absenteeism today even if I can’t handle it… Oh, that’s not possible. But how……. Ah yes. All right. Sorry. Yes. Come in. Professor. Thank you for the call.”
– Kung!
As soon as the call ended, Ryu Tae-hyeon hit his head against the bar. Surrounding surveillance cameras all turned toward him at the sound of a dull impact.
“Detective… ….”
Yes or no. Ryu Tae-hyun said to Lee Tae-ho. In a very complex tone.
“…… It’s unfair. Apparently the CCTV caught the woman attacking me first. I was just self-defense. Do you know the detective…… But why does she keep holding me here? Yes? Thanks to this, 3 points were deducted from attendance for truancy. Damn, I was looking for a scholarship…….”
I didn’t see the slightest bit of momentum when I first saw him complaining helplessly. However, with every complaint he uttered, there was only a sticky feeling of resentment towards the police here.
Looking at that, Lee Tae-ho thought.
A statement, I think I can get it very cooperatively.
“Student Ryu Tae-hyeon. If it’s attendance, I can change it to public attendance. If you want to get out of here, I can get you out right away.”
“Yes?”
Ryu Tae-hyeon raised his head and looked at Lee Tae-ho. He looked in disbelief.
“Are you serious? Does that work? No, detective, you look very young on face value, but you seem to have a bit of a class unexpectedly?”
“I am not a detective.”
Lee Tae-ho took out his guard card.
“I am Lee Tae-ho, a member of the Special Countermeasures Division of the Green House Guard. The case in which Ryu Tae-hyeon is currently involved has been investigated by the Special Countermeasures Division of the Guard. Since this is a case involving academy students, our Special Response Division has priority over the local police in this case.”
“…… So?”
“In other words, with just one request from me, I can get Ryu Tae-hyeon out immediately. Where would that be? Attendance in the name of hearing the guard’s circumstances can also be processed as a public decision. Of course, this is only under the premise that Ryu Tae-hyeon will come out with a cooperative attitude…….”
“Detective. No, Guardsman.”
Ryu Tae-hyeon, who grasped the situation, grinned.
“You can ask anything. I will answer you wholeheartedly.”
Lee Tae-ho also had a faint smile on his lips at the change in his positive attitude.
