Chapter 113 – Kidnapping (4)
Chunsik’s ride was quite something.
To the point where…
‘I should get one for personal use later.’
It might make the news, but I was thinking I’d definitely want to ride it again later.
Anyway, after moving quickly on Chunsik for a while.
“Chunsik, you can drop me off there.”
“Kuhung!”
Thanks to Chunsik’s speed, I arrived safely at the place where the villain was.
“Chunsik, if a girl comes up later, can you take her to the mountain entrance?”
I got off Chunsik’s back, gave him another treat, and asked him for a favor.
At my words, Chunsik nodded with a “kuong” sound, and after petting him, I looked around.
‘It looks exactly like it did in the game.’
The place where the villain was, was exactly as it was depicted in the game.
The atmosphere was eerie, but if you looked closely, you could see that money had been spent here and there.
‘The detailed background wasn’t revealed, but there’s no way that kidnapper bastard made this place.’
In that sense, it was clear that Tsutomu hadn’t built this place.
There wasn’t any specific background information about Tsutomu in the game, but he definitely didn’t seem like a rich person.
Rather, he looked like a loser of society.
Of course, I wasn’t a face reader, and I couldn’t tell a person by their face, but I didn’t think he was capable of building a building like this.
Thinking about Tsutomu, I entered the building and slowly looked around, then found the entrance based on my memory of the walkthrough I saw on the game community (the game didn’t exist, but the walkthrough did).
After looking for the entrance for a moment, I finally…
-Creak.
“Found it.”
I found the door leading to the basement.
Takuya looked at the long staircase with the light and began to equip his gear.
What kind of gear, you ask?
“I’ve prepared well for times like this.”
I had prepared myself because I didn’t think my body would survive if I fought like I did when I fought the gym teacher to build the last day.
It was a survival set with various auxiliary tools, including a steel plate to protect my abdomen.
Unfortunately, I tried to buy a military one, but Japan has strict gun control, and I didn’t have much connection with the Yakuza, so I failed.
Anyway, after properly arming myself, Takuya headed to the basement.
***
The path to the basement.
The entrance was clearly a narrow submarine-like corridor, but as I went down, the width increased, and now there was a staircase wide enough for almost five people to pass through comfortably.
Thanks to that, going down was easy.
In addition, I also discovered a new function of this villain detection watch in the process.
‘If I zoom in, a detailed map appears.’
I was impressed by its performance, but I continued to head to the basement.
After arriving in the basement, the first feeling I got was…
‘It’s not familiar, but I roughly know the way.’
I could roughly guess the way.
Thanks to the walkthroughs I had seen on the community a few times for fun (sometimes detailed walkthroughs of these games were posted on the community), the path wasn’t completely unfamiliar.
Since I also had a map in my hand, it felt more like exploring a map.
Of course, that was just how it felt, my body was already full of murderous intent.
‘I need to subdue him as soon as I meet him.’
It wasn’t because I was a law-abiding or moral person that I was going to subdue him.
I was in favor of private justice, not the opposite.
To be honest, I wanted to tear him limb from limb as soon as I met him.
But the reason I didn’t was because if my memory was correct, Tsutomu had likely already killed several more people.
Given the motive, it was natural for me to have these suspicions.
‘I should find out while interrogating him.’
Takuya thought so and quickly searched the basement, and soon arrived in front of the room where Mitan first woke up, which was in Takuya’s memory of the walkthrough.
Takuya, who had arrived, looked at the door.
There was a padlock with a password on the door, and I…
-Click.
-Clunk.
I unlocked it very easily.
How did I do it? It was lock picking, like in anime or manga, or in other words, lock picking magic.
‘Before possessing this body, this much was basic training for a soldier.’
That’s a lie, I actually learned it from a guy in the same unit who was good at opening doors like this.
Anyway, after unlocking the door, I saw a desk and what seemed to be a dining table, and on a small bed…
“Momiji!”
Momiji was lying down.
Momiji heard my voice, her eyes widened, tears welled up, and she ran to me.
“Takuya! Takuyaaa!! I was so scared!!”
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
I held Momiji in my arms and patted her for a while, then said.
“Let’s go up first. I’ve prepared something to ride on upstairs.”
“Really?!”
At my words, Momiji was happy and urged me to go up quickly.
Just when everything seemed to be going well.
“You, you, you, you!!”
Someone’s voice began to be heard from behind.
And that someone was…
“I’m finally seeing you.”
“How dare you touch my Mi-tan!!”
As expected, the culprit and villain of this incident.
“Mr. Tsutomu?”
“I won’t forgive you!!”
It was Tsutomu.
He was looking at me and Momiji hugging each other, and he seemed to have lost his mind, as he started running like crazy. At that sight, I quickly pulled Momiji towards me and dodged Tsutomu’s attack.
Then, I said to Momiji in my arms.
‘There’s a bear upstairs. Ride on its back and go up.’
At my words, Momiji said with a surprised expression.
‘A bear?! No, more importantly, what about Takuya!’
Me? Of course, I…
“Kuaaaaak!!”
Takuya turned his head and looked at the villain who was howling like a madman.
“I have to deal with him.”
With those words, I pushed Momiji away, handed her the watch, and said.
“Take this and go quickly! If you ride the bear, there will be someone I called at the mountain entrance. Don’t worry!”
At my words, Momiji seemed to hesitate for a moment, but after seeing my expression, she nodded and started to run away.
“Takuya, you have to come back safely too!”
I nodded at her words, and at the same time.
-Whoosh!
Tsutomu, who hadn’t been idle while we were talking, attacked me.
He was swinging his arms as if he were some kind of beast, trying to hit me, but I easily dodged his movements.
No. Of course, I don’t have any stamina or strength right now, but do you think I’d lose to someone who’s never fought before?
‘Who do you think I am, treating my military service like a joke.’
Takuya thought so, and while lightly dodging Tsutomu’s attacks, he waited for the timing to knock him down at once.
Takuya dodged Tsutomu’s attacks for a while.
Takuya couldn’t help but frown as he dodged another attack.
That’s because…
‘There are many openings, but my instincts are telling me it’s dangerous to go in, damn it.’
Strangely, whenever I tried to find an opening and go in, my instincts warned me.
Don’t approach that guy.
What does this mean?
Takuya didn’t want to confirm it with his body, so he waited for Tsutomu’s stamina to drop.
But strangely, Tsutomu’s stamina didn’t drop, and his body started to get faster.
Seeing him as if he was overflowing with power, Takuya felt strange and dodged the attack again.
‘No. How does he have so much stamina?’
Thanks to that, Takuya clicked his tongue, but dodging wasn’t that difficult.
After dodging for a while.
“My Mi-tan! How dare you try to take her from me?”
Tsutomu said to me with an angry voice.
At those words, I looked at Tsutomu with a dumbfounded expression and said.
“Why is Momiji yours, you crazy bastard.”
At my words, Tsutomu seemed angry and shouted.
“Of course Mi-tan is mine! I bought her directly from her parents!”
At those words, I felt like my mind had stopped for a moment.
What? Who bought whom?
At my reaction, that Tsutomu person began to tell me the details with a triumphant expression.
“Haha! You didn’t know this, did you?! Mi-tan’s parents sold Mi-tan to me!”
“Momiji is not an object.”
“What are you talking about! They sold their child who was useless and only needed protection, so now Mi-tan is mine!”
At that absurd logic, I couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.
“Haha. Wow, I’m speechless.”
What kind of guy is this? Does he think this is the Middle Ages?
No. In the first place, the parents who sold her weren’t in their right minds either.
Selling their daughter, of all people?
I wondered if they were offered a large sum of money that they couldn’t refuse, so I asked again.
“Hey. How much did you pay to buy Momiji?”
“2 million yen!”
At his words, he answered proudly, and I felt like the excitement that had filled my head was disappearing.
Rather, I felt like my head was getting cold.
“Only 20 million won?”
“It’s 2 million yen.”
Momiji’s life was decided for less than 20 million won in Korean currency.
The people who should have loved Momiji the most, not anyone else, had ruined Momiji’s life for a mere 20 million won.
At that fact, I felt a terrible disgust and, along with that…
“Cough, cough!”
I felt a true killing intent.
I rushed at Tsutomu with that terrible killing intent.
I was busy, and I didn’t want to waste any more time.
‘There are too many pieces of trash in the world.’
Because there were still a lot of pieces of trash to deal with.
