Chapter 94 – Copycat (3)
A bloody smell flowed through the shopping street that was being used as a black market.
The floor is muddy, and instead of sidewalk blocks, corpses are strewn all over the place.
No matter how you look at it, it is not a place for a touching reunion.
It’s hard to even call it a touching reunion.
However, the guy dropped his weapon to the ground as if he was about to shed tears.
I was in no condition to wield a knife or shoot a gun.
“Why are you here!”
I blankly repeated what I said earlier.
Then the guy explained it somehow, even though he was terribly gibberish.
“I was mistaken. I thought you killed my father and Green Dust avenged him…”
“… Actually, it’s as if I killed him.”
“No! Now I understand.”
I see Wasn’t he also uncertain of me?
That’s why I said it wasn’t my turn yet.
I belatedly understood and realized the truth of the incident.
Six years ago, I was not the only one who was awakened by the Big Dipper incident.
He, like me, had awakened and sharpened multiple blades.
But I couldn’t praise him.
“I sent tuition to go to college… Did you kill people and sit down?”
“There’s no way I can study like that! Put me on the team too. I can judge the hunters too!”
The guy said to me quite earnestly.
Certainly, if you become an S-rank hunter, it will be a great power, but…
I just couldn’t bring myself to pamper him.
“What do you want to hear from your father later?”
“Dead people don’t talk. They can’t do anything for those left behind.”
“…”
The moment I was seriously conflicted.
He made a loud noise and hardened my heart.
“If you find them, I’ll kill them.”
“Wait, I stopped doing that.”
“Why is it? You know that man. Those who have crossed the line once will never change. I doubted it several times while preparing for this job, but it was the same every time!
“… I see.”
Certainly, once you cross the line, there is no going back.
I sadly agreed with his words his and nodded.
“I get it.”
“I-Really? Then…”
“I’m arresting you for mass murder. I’ll take you out when you cool down a bit, so be gentle.”
“!”
Wow!
The green dust floating in the air began to emit light again.
The lighting is still there, and there is even green dust, so it’s like having your hands and feet tied over there.
As I slowly walked forward, he shouted desperately.
“Don’t be funny! You’re going to commit yourself to your heart’s content, and now you’re going to pretend to be nice?”
“There was just no other way then.”
“It’s the same for me now! Okay, I don’t need it all. Now it’s the dust I drew!”
I closed the distance, letting him talk his way.
Once within range of each other, we competed in power without hesitation.
The enhancement of physical abilities due to magical power remains the same, so the conditions are almost the same.
However, the opponent’s fist narrowly missed my body.
Fuck!
“Cool!”
Taking advantage of the break in his back, he hit continuously without hesitation.
The guy who had been beaten and knocked out tried to counterattack, but it didn’t work.
The physique is slightly better over there, but the experience is completely different.
Martial arts used against hunters have a very different feel from general martial arts.
Besides, you don’t even have to look at it anymore.
I punched with one leg raised to counter the low kick.
The fist, which should not have been able to exert its power properly, went in properly.
“Ugh!”
The guy who had his eyes wide open screamed the next moment due to the super weak Green Burst.
It was a transformation technology that only enhanced the flashing effect, with almost no radiation or heat emission.
If it was a hunter or monster with some combat experience, they would have reacted immediately when they saw me covering my eyes with my arm.
Baek!
After being blinded for a while, the hardened guy was hit with a kick of conversion, and he rolled on the floor with a clicking sound.
Thinking that it would be okay to arrest him like this, he quickly took out the handcuffs…
Suddenly, I saw something like a thin wire behind his back.
Next moment. It soared straight into the air.
“What? I can’t use my abilities…”
Noticed relatedly
Before entering the black market, he had installed a device on the roof of the shopping district.
The device linked to the belt of the costume immediately escaped the incapable of combat.
“Where did you get that skill…”
“Ugh… Such a hypocrite!”
The guy who barely managed to get his body together barked ferociously from afar.
“I will take the name of Green Dust! From now on, I will…”
“Hey, come down!”
As soon as he prepared the burst I drew, he immediately disappeared from sight.
Considering the ability of shadow movement, he should have caught it this time… But it was a pity.
I literally hit the ground and regretted it.
“Damn it. I never thought I would have prepared something like that.”
“Master, shall we chase after you?”
“Can you catch up with the S-Rank Hunter?”
“No…”
In the end, he trudged back after tidying up the scene in a mess.
His body was fine, but his mind was more messed up than ever.
Even when I faced Blue Lightning, it wasn’t that hard.
The tragedy in the black market was treated as the work of an unidentified hunter criminal, but…
Everyone in the know will think it’s Green Dust’s work.
There is no other big player like him in Korea, and he even reported his return a while ago.
“Has the Special Forces job ever been so ruined?”
At least, even when the Black Lotus is involved, 16 billion out of 20 billion is recovered, accomplices are caught, or blue lightning is dealt with. It has achieved its own results.
While the case was being sorted out, I belatedly scanned the guy’s tracks.
“You didn’t go to school properly, you just trained. To think you didn’t notice this earlier…”
“It’s not the West’s fault.”
“If it’s not my fault, it’s someone’s fault.”
Yeriel comforted me at best, but I ended up taking my anger out in a sharp tone.
Fortunately, she didn’t seem to care at all.
Seeing it made me even more depressed.
While Tia and Kerr were also panicking needlessly, Alice, who was worse off, stepped out.
“Hey, come out for a second. Her sister is still.”
“Wait. Alice, I’m comforting you…”
“After all, the body is the goal.”
“Eh? Ah, no. Of course I will, but…”
Of course you do…
Yeriel is such a kind and nice person … But sometimes I doubt her sense her.
Stunned, I followed Alice.
He immediately got into the elevator and came down to the parking lot.
“…”
Without asking where she was going, she got into the car right away and Alice started driving skillfully.
Eventually we arrived at a nearby cinema.
It is already late at night, so there are few people.
Of course, there was no choice of the movie itself.
Alice chose the only remaining theater and bought two tickets.
No drinks or popcorn, just enter and sit down.
It was quite a familiar attitude, as if he had been here more often than it seemed.
The fact that he sometimes changed his mood like this, she knew without asking.
I decided to accept it with gratitude for the long-awaited consideration.
Is it because I am lucky today?
Certainly, a late-night movie helped clear my head and heart.
Even if OTT was developed, the huge screen and sound effects of the theater were not easily replaceable.
Alice, who came out of the movie theater, also nodded in satisfaction, as if satisfied in her own way.
“Today’s luck is good. Usually blockbusters with many theaters remain until the end.”
“Anyway, isn’t it a bit like a late-night horror movie…”
“Why are you scared?”
Alice teased me and quickly grabbed her hand her.
Quite a welcome warmth and touch.
We decided to leave the car in good shape and head back enjoying the night air.
With all of his ribbons her removed, Alice was far less conspicuous than usual.
Of course, even so, it’s just ‘more than usual’… I think foreigners have no choice but to stand out in Korea, so I wore big sunglasses.
It’s obviously an adult, but it seems like he’s imitating an adult, so it’s a bit funny.
Alice was surprised as she looked back at the shops that were open even though it was early morning.
“Everyone stays up late.”
“Where shall we go?”
“What?”
Take Alice, who is slightly flustered, and go to a bar that feels good and sit down.
He looked nervous, as if he wasn’t used to a shop like this.
Actually, I wasn’t very used to it either.
But even so, it’s a bar after all, so there’s nothing to think hard about.
“Winter Kingdom people aren’t the type to go out often, right? They don’t drink much in the first place.”
“That’s right. Neither Yeriel-nee nor the guild master enjoy drinking.”
But if not on a day like this, when else would you drink it?
Let’s drink lightly and go in.
While I was ordering while thinking so.
The man sitting at the counter made a movement as if pouring something into the glass of the woman next to him.
As I looked at it, the face of Alice, who followed my gaze, hardened.
She jumped up from her seat and grabbed the arm of the man at the counter.
“Wait, what are you doing?”
“Oops! Let go of this!”
The man tried to shake off Alice’s hand her, but her small hand her didn’t budge, contrary to what it looked like.
She confiscated the bottle of medicine that was in the man’s arms of her and threatened him.
“Did you just put this in that girl’s glass?”
“Oh, no. That’s…”
“So what!”
Surprisingly, isn’t the woman who was supposed to be the victim not angry, but rather defending him?
While her Alice was very flustered, I examined her carefully.
“Leave it alone! Don’t you notice?”
“Wait… Is this woman Alice Winter? Is it okay for Hunter to assault a normal person?”
“My, when did I assault…”
The two people who noticed the other’s identity began to come out vigorously.
A look that I couldn’t even imagine that I could really get hit by hunters like Alice.
I guess I’ve been working too hard lately.
The men and women at the counter openly gave Alice a face-off.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a good mood, but I’m ruining everything. It’s all if G is a Hunter?”
“No. I’m just trying to help…”
“Go away before you report it! Or do you want to come out on the news?”
If it’s a monster, it’s enough to just kill it, but ordinary people can’t even do that.
The moment Alice was trembling with a tearful face on her face.
I banged her head on the counter.
When she wriggled violently, both the man and Alice were taken aback.
“Ouch!”
“What!”
“Hey, what are you doing now…”
“Stop moving. What is this here?”
I just rolled up her arm and showed her the inside of her elbow her.
There were several very clear injection marks left there.
“Is that a drug? It’s not like he was shot in the head, and common sense puts drugs in his drinking glass of his, so there’s no way he likes it.”
“That, that… This… “
The man believedly tried to escape and was subdued by Alice.
We immediately called the police and searched the entire store.
Fortunately, the bartender seemed innocent.
“I thought they were a little strange customers, but I can’t believe this… We are absolutely not that kind of store!”
“Okay, calm down.”
Upon receiving a report, police arrived and immediately arrested the two.
The drug the man was carrying was a type of strengthening agent for the hunters, but to the hunters it was only to heighten the senses, but to the general public it was no different from drugs.
The era is the era, so this kind of crime happens in the middle of the day.
“We’ll have to see where this leaked out. Our special unit will keep it.”
“Is that okay?”
“Hunter equipment is originally stored in the special unit, so there is no problem.”
“But…”
The police handed over the evidence to us and took the culprits away.
After drinking only the glass I ordered and leaving the store, I felt a bit resurrected.
Alice, whose face had become strangely complex, followed me with her sullen gestures.
“Seeing cancerous beings in such a society makes me motivated again?”
“…”
Alice seemed very offended by the verbal abuse earlier.
Thanks to her, now I’m in her place where I have to comfort her.
“Hey, don’t mind those fiends.”
“No… It’s true that I didn’t notice the relationship between those humans at all…”
“What does that matter?”
So that what I tried to say insignificantly did not matter.
Alice started beating herself up endlessly.
It seems that the words from earlier her touched her traumatic her.
“I’m not good at socializing. I don’t have any friends. Even if I talk, I can’t help but laugh…”
“What about that? I don’t have any friends either.”
“…”
“I like people with bad social skills. Alice, you have very few hunters close to you, so you can always be fair in your investigations.”
“You’re comforting it now…”
Even while her Alice was so full of energy that she couldn’t continue her words, I defended her diligently.
“It’s okay if you speak harshly. I know you’re good at heart anyway. You’re much better than those who only talk and act like shit.”
“…Really?”
“You’re the one who brought me out today. That’s why I like you.”
“…”
Alice kept her head down and didn’t say anything for a while.
As she held my hand and walked silently, she soon began leaking into her side of her.
I was dragged helplessly by her brute strength her.
