Chapter 81 – Lee Junseo (Son) – Kind Hell (4)
My mood was complicated, but with nowhere else to spend my time, I enjoyed playing mahjong with the older men until nightfall. The sound of the tiles hitting the table all day during the half-round games was truly delightful. It was my first time seeing an automatic mahjong table, and I was impressed by the technology. Snacking while playing also made it a great time.
However, after that enjoyable time ended.
Evening.
‘They said I’d return to Bokryong before dawn, but…’
Whether I use the secret of this village to threaten them, or become the village chief, no matter how things play out, they cannot take my sisters away from me. No, I won’t let that happen. To increase my bargaining chips for negotiations with the old women and men, I needed to learn more about this village.
With that in mind, I arrived at a place secluded within the village. A plot of land surrounded by iron bars and high walls to prevent children from entering. Munyoung had said there was a facility in the village for training the merchandise, but confessed that the punishment area was separate, and this was that problematic place. Minor punishments would naturally occur within the training facility, but this was a stage for administering literal punishments. Just looking at it made me feel eerie and reluctant to enter.
“Young Master…”
“Hmm.”
“There are a lot of eyes here, so… we can’t show you for long…”
“Got it.”
When I smiled fearlessly, the Bokryong subordinates who opened the gate for me also smiled and led me inside. Unlike the taverns outside, the building’s exterior and interior were entirely modern. From the outside, it looked like a prison, but inside, it sounded like a factory, with the constant clanging of machinery.
Clang, clang, whirrrr-.
I didn’t know what they were processing, but there were many people around. They said they turned off all the surveillance cameras for me, so I was relieved about that, but I wondered what all this noise was. It was like a quiet commotion, as if someone wanted to speak but their mouth was forcibly shut. If it weren’t for the machine noise, I could hear more clearly, but that was quite bothersome.
“What is this noise… it’s unsettling… it’s not like screaming… but it’s not like it’s making a sound either… isn’t it weird…?”
“It’s like there are ghosts, right?”
“We were surprised when we first came in too.”
In the center of the prison, a square hall where we stood, there were punishment rooms with different names on the left and right. Since the machine sounds were coming from every room, I figured they were administering punishments that ordinary people couldn’t even imagine. I wanted to look around openly, but there were people monitoring the center of the prison besides us, so I had to act like a Bokryong subordinate and look around as leisurely as possible.
“Young Master, look at the left door.”
“Left?”
“Over there.”
While pretending to investigate the prison, my Bokryong subordinates and I turned our eyes to the left door. It was a peculiar place with a huge door that looked like a truck could enter, and a small door next to it for people. The closer we got, the louder the machine sounds became, and a small, unintelligible noise came from there.
“Mental Training Room?”
“This is the first place rebellious women arrive after being brought here.”
Mental Training Room, even the name sounds horrifying. When the word ‘mental’ is included in something like discipline or punishment, everything becomes scary. Moreover, the fact that it’s the first place rebellious women arrive means it’s a place that breaks down people’s will…
“Is it a scary place?”
“In a way… it’s the most extreme place here…”
“It’s one of the top five places we wanted to show you, Young Master…”
Hearing that, I couldn’t resist going in.
“Can we go in?”
“Yes.”
“Please come quietly this way.”
Following the Bokryong subordinates, I entered through a passage next to the main gate. As soon as I entered, the clanging of chains and the objects spread throughout the dark, spacious area caught my eye.
This place was definitely a factory.
But, was it a meat processing plant or something?
The clanging of the machines and the red lighting made me feel uneasy. The temperature inside was strangely high, and there were slaughterhouse chains and hooks hanging from the ceiling, as if intentionally, with something dangling from them.
‘What am I looking at right now?’
To put it in a funny way, it felt like I had entered a cheap clothing store. You know how clothes are hung on racks? That’s what I was seeing now.
“What is this?”
“……………”
The subordinates didn’t answer. The red lighting, along with the ominous chains and hooks. It would have been perfect if there were pig carcasses hanging there, but instead, something else was hanging like clothes.
Meat?
Corpses?
No, neither.
Those weren’t dead bodies or meat, but…
「Women packed into zipper bags like figures, with the air sucked out」
That was what I saw.
“────Ugh?!”
“Young Master!”
A woman unable to move in a zipper bag with all the air sucked out!
And she was alive!
The moment I made eye contact with the woman inside, I got goosebumps!
I was so shocked by the bizarreness that I almost fell backward, but the subordinates caught me. Still, the goosebumps didn’t go away!
“Wh, what the hell is this…?”
“We were surprised at first too.”
“They’re all standing up.”
The large zipper bags containing people were like products sold in a store. They were displaying women, hanging them like objects on hooks in the air. Moreover, they were alive, and even standing, as if air was being injected through the hoses in their mouths. Their mouths seemed to be blocked by something like a gag, and hoses were connected to their anus and vagina, seemingly to handle their bodily waste.
“This is the Mental Training Room?”
“Don’t be too surprised. They say they stay like this for up to a year. And they even set sleeping hours, so they can’t sleep in that state.”
“This isn’t something a human being would do…”
I took a step back and looked at the scene more broadly. Not only were all the zipper bags with women packed tightly together, but the structure was such that if you pulled the hooks on the ceiling, you could slide or move them sideways like clothes on a rack in a store. No wonder the main gate was so big, they were transporting them outside like this. I wondered why it was so noisy like a factory, but it seemed they could also be moved by machines.
“10, 20, 30, 40, 50…”
“70… there are probably about that many…”
Sweat trickled down my face. The red lighting and high temperature were already making it hard to breathe, but what must it be like for the women inside? They couldn’t move a single finger while sweating profusely, it was the worst kind of punishment. Moreover, there were so many sealed women that other zipper bags were pressing tightly against them from the front and back. It was bad enough to be hanging like that, but to be squeezed like a sandwich, they must be going crazy. It must be much hotter and more suffocating than what I was feeling.
And, a year?
They said up to a year?
Are you kidding me?
I would never be able to endure that.
My mind would break.
Or I would be forced into sexual slavery.
So, that’s why it’s called the Mental Training Room?!
These guys are crazy!
“They say the longer they disobey, the longer they are sealed in a humiliating position.”
“Take a look.”
The subordinates led me further inside, while I was internally seething. There, unlike the tightly packed products in the front, were loosely spaced sealed products. Moreover, there were women with “1 year” written on them, as if they had received a quality guarantee of some sort. It was obvious they were being treated differently compared to the other products, but of course, that wasn’t a good thing.
Flap! Flap! Flap flap! Flap!
The women in the sealed zipper bags were shaking their bodies as if to tell us to look at them. More than ten naked women were hanging in the air in humiliating positions, like a breeding press. Normally, it would be a suggestive sight, but their expressions were desperate. It was as if they were desperately begging, “Please save me.” But their mouths were blocked, their positions were fixed, and they were displayed as zipper bag products, so there was nothing I could do for them.
‘I’m really sorry for the women trapped in there, but. This is truly a pathetic sight.’
Wasn’t it like they were displaying erotic figures?
It was a truly perverted sculpture.
Breeding press position, one leg lifted and the ankle behind the neck, exposing the vagina, legs spread like a crab, bending over as if urinating, vagina pushed forward as if spreading it with their own hands, and even a position that looked like they were spreading their anus.
It was obvious that they had done various modifications to prevent them from moving their fingers or joints, since just sucking out the air wasn’t enough. That’s why they were directly spreading their holes or emphasizing their breasts. In the distance, near the area with the machines, I could see a large iron plate with blood splatters all over it, as if they were about to cut meat.
Ah, that must be it.
If they had hammered in iron pins there, it would make sense.
“Did the women who came down to the university this time also suffer like this?”
“Yes. It’s part of the regular training course while they’re being punished. However, most products don’t make mistakes during training, so it usually ends within a month. The purpose is to show them what will happen to their bodies if they lose their value as products.”
“No wonder there were so many crazy bitches.”
They were desperate too.
This was just the mental training course.
I would have worked desperately too.
“If only this was the end…”
As if not leaving it at just the mental training room, the machines suddenly started moving. The hooks with the zipper bags moved along the lines installed above the factory, taking the women who had become products to another place. But it wasn’t going out the main gate, it was heading towards a corner of the area I was in, so I followed to see what was going on.
Bubbling, bubbling, bubbling…
Bubbling, bubbling, bubbling…
The zipper bags containing the products stopped above a large hole where water was boiling. It looked like they were about to dunk the women in the zipper bags into the hot water.
“Is this part of the daily routine…?”
“Yes…”
As the subordinate affirmed my words, Product A desperately shook her body, flapping the zipper bag. But the machine didn’t listen to her pleas and lowered the chain, dunking her into the hot water, zipper bag and all.
Bubbling…
And.
Clang, clang, clang…
Clang-…
The sound of the chains clanging rapidly along with the sound of the water boiling as the zipper bag was submerged was pitiful. It was a natural reaction since she was trapped in a zipper bag and submerged in water. The heat was engulfing her entire body, and she couldn’t change her position or breathe, so it must be more than just suffocating, it must be painful.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Well, the women here poop and pee through hoses while trapped in these zipper bags… they say it’s necessary for cleanliness…”
“You crazy bastards…”
That was probably an excuse.
There’s no way that would make them clean.
They’re already excreting poop and pee through hoses, so they could just replace those hoses with human hands, but instead, they’re boiling people like they’re making boiled pork.
“Could our Munyoung have… experienced something like this…?”
“Are you talking about the young lady?”
“Yes. She said she experienced it once during her rebellious phase…”
“Are you crazy.”
She said herself that she had gone through a brainwashing-like training process, so I had a vague idea that she might have, but she actually did. My own, my lovely secretary and bodyguard. At first, I thought she was just a woman who blindly followed me, but after her advice to me last time, I realized she was a woman who was nurturing something else inside.
“What about other places besides here?”
“Most of them are places where you see blood, so it might be a bit much for you, Young Master…”
“Especially at night, so I advise you to look again tomorrow morning.”
“That’s a very insightful piece of advice. Except it’s completely useless to me right now.”
“Will you look?”
“I’ve come this far, why would I back down?”
“Understood.”
“I don’t want to…”
Including me, all the subordinates were shuddering as we headed to the next place, but…
I won’t describe the bloodshed that followed.
Thud, it was like my consciousness was cut off…
I only clearly remember returning to the lodging and hugging Munyoung all day.
