Chapter 120 – The Internet Taxidermy (4)
The shadows were thick inside the building.
However, the advantage in indoor matches was the same.
I threw a green dust smoke grenade and checked the condition of the hunters who rushed in first.
“It’s okay?”
“Well, we’re fine!”
“They ran upstairs!”
Fortunately, the Hunters did not die.
He wasn’t crazy enough to kill even innocent hunters.
Alice and I hurried up the stairs.
Since Yeriel is waiting outside anyway, he has no choice but to remain inside the building.
Besides, relocating wasn’t a bad thing for us at all.
I’ve been carrying smoke grenades leisurely anyway, so it’s enough to subdue the entire building.
As I was thinking that, a member of the team outside radioed.
[Manager. A new video has been uploaded to the site. Would you like to see it?]
“What?”
To say such a thing while knowing that there is an obvious arrest operation in progress.
This usually means that it is not a serious matter.
When I hurriedly took out my smartphone, a new vote was going on on the internet taxidermy site.
The fake green dust appeared wearing a gas mask as if it were being broadcast in real time.
“You bastard, aren’t you even broadcasting live?”
“Shall we rush in?”
“Wait a minute.”
The exit is blocked anyway, so there is no need to rush.
I focused on the contents of the video as well as looking at the structure of the interior.
In addition to the target of arrest, two other men were tied up in the dark room.
It looks like he’s a hostage, but he did well not to rush in.
But that feeling is short-lived.
When the false green dust revealed their identities, astonishment swept through their bodies.
[Hello, allies of justice. It was a sudden vote, but thank you for coming together. Their names are Kang Jeon-ho and Park Min-jae. This is the management of our site, ‘Internet Taxidermy’.]
“What? That, then you’re an ally?”
“Shh…”
I don’t know how the hell things work.
I thought they were using an overseas server, but the management team was in Korea.
As I was panicking, various pieces of evidence were revealed one after another on the screen.
[They opened and operated an internet taxidermy site using an overseas server hosting service. However, it turns out that they themselves committed the crime. Kang Jeon-ho uses and sells drugs, and Park Min-jae has a criminal record for sex crimes.]
Then it is.
I didn’t think that the guys who run such crazy sites were sane people.
I had already expected that even if I had one or two of them, it wouldn’t be strange at all.
Fake Green Dust calmly continued his voice while the chat window was overflowing.
[There were no innocent people among the ‘criminals’ the two posted on the site. Among them were the detectives and prosecutors who arrested them, and even the judges who sentenced them. At least we were all almost fooled.]
Accusing innocent people as criminals and inflicting damage…
This is a use case that is not too surprising.
The abuse itself, which we were concerned about.
Fortunately, it seems that the fake green dust wasn’t stupid enough to be fooled by them.
No… Are you really lucky?
As I quickly changed my mind, the voting started on the screen.
[I really want to ask for a verdict on how to punish these liars.]
[Execution! Definitely the death penalty!]
[Isn’t castration the answer for sex offenders?]
[The death penalty by castration.]
Very enthusiastic audience reaction.
Alice and I couldn’t stand it any longer and rushed into the room.
However, as soon as I opened the door, a thick bloody smell stung my nose.
“I’m sorry…”
“You’re late. As always.”
Fake Green Dust was sitting on a chair.
It was never showmanship.
The tiredness from the forced march was evident on his face.
It was the result of repeated murders and kidnappings without being able to rest properly since yesterday.
Behind him are two victims, bleeding to death.
On the other hand, the voting on the screen was still in full swing.
I was enraged when I barely noticed the situation.
I thought it was a live broadcast, but it was actually a recording.
Because it was inside the building, it was not possible to accurately determine the time.
“Did you kill me before the results came out!”
“It’s the death penalty anyway. Look at this.”
The drawn-faced guy showed the results of the vote.
Of course, the result was a landslide victory for the death penalty faction.
Soon, a desperate scream began to echo from the screen.
“Why are you doing this! What the hell do you want to do!”
“Well… To be honest, I’m not sure either. But I intend to do this until the end.”
“What are you doing after you have already killed the management team?”
When I tried to snort, he slowly got up from his seat.
“Robbery and murder, death penalty. Sex crime, death penalty. Drug offender, death penalty. Sexual harassment is also the death penalty.”
The crimes of criminals who have been hung up on the internet taxidermy so far have come out one after another.
Alice flinched slightly and blocked my way.
The guy just pretended to see it and continued his words her calmly.
“Isn’t the ruling very clear? This is the realization of true justice. From now on, I plan to lower the level more and more.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Next, innocent criminals. Then, thieves… It wouldn’t be bad to bring journalists to justice.”
“Internet Judgment? Is that your conclusion?”
“Yes. Isn’t this a true jury system? Hiding behind anonymity, punishing without any burden. Fair judgment without any external pressure… It is the embodiment of true democracy.”
I couldn’t stand it any longer and threw a smoke grenade.
However, it immediately raised a shadow and knocked it out of the building.
I felt like I was on guard from the beginning.
It was a mistake to rush in after throwing it blindly in the basement.
“Stop!”
Alice, who had just prepared for the summons, brandished her pocket watch her.
Her indoor environment is quite favorable to her as well.
A killer rabbit appears in an instant, and a blade rises from the wall.
He evaded it and deftly counterattacked.
“Ah!”
Chaeeng!
Alice managed to dodge her dagger that flew out of the darkness.
The dagger itself is an ordinary object, but its acceleration is incredible.
It seems to be a new technology developed from lessons learned from the last time I broke a leg in Japan.
“Kids these days are really growing up fast.”
“Actually, you already know that!”
His voice his boomed amidst the din of fierce battle.
Unlike before, it was a voice that did not mix falsetto at all.
“If people’s thoughts don’t change, no matter what you do, it’s useless!”
“So I’m trying to change that perception, but you’re fucking shit!”
Let’s reply hotly. The guy who replies without shame.
“How many criminals do you change your perception about catching?”
“Are you lecturing criminology to former prosecutors?
I understand the sorrowful heart.
But why are they not aware of the fact that fair punishment and punishment without exception are much more important than strong punishment?
My heart boils in a stuffy mind.
I wanted to help too, but I couldn’t move hastily because there was a camera installed.
Revealing my identity is a major incident that cannot be compared to anything like an internet taxidermist.
Fortunately, Alice was not pushed too easily.
“Be arrogant! Come out!”
Quadduk!
As if he wasn’t just playing outside, he calls out the strongest summons without hesitation.
The giant dragon Jabberwock filled the relatively large room.
Thanks to this, the fake, who lost his place to escape, tried to escape once again.
‘If it was in full condition, it would definitely be dangerous.’
But this time, I’ll definitely catch it.
I felt the floor collapse and fell into Alice’s arms her.
She held me like a baby or a cat.
Shortly after, Tia, who was waiting outside the building, saw a light through the broken window.
It seems like a really useless ability, but at least it’s the best against that guy.
He groaned as if his skin was burning and threw himself out the window.
“Ugh!”
“Catch!”
In fact, you don’t even need to follow.
Because Yeriel is waiting outside.
I’ve already taken care of his transportation.
In the midst of the setting sun.
When he finally met Yeriel Frost, he had a rejected face.
Even though I’ve only met with them through the media, I can tell when I face them in person.
The fact that she is completely different from other hunters.
Yeriel stood still in front of him, gently covering her mouth her with her hand.
At first glance, it looks like a smile, but… It’s not.
She was talking to him.
“What, what? Why didn’t you catch me…”
“…”
The conversation between the two didn’t last very long.
However, it was clear that the contents were very shocking to the fake green dust.
After shaking his body for a moment, he nodded his head heavily and started running away from the setting sun.
Yeriel just stood still and watched him.
“Huh? Huh?”
“Sister?”
Alice, as well as I, stood still for a long time, not knowing why.
I hurriedly ran out belatedly, watched blankly in the direction he had disappeared, then turned my head to Yeriel.
She was smiling very sorry.
“Muh… What are you doing?”
“I’m sorry. I missed you.”
“… What?”
“Seobang-nim. I’m really sorry…”
Yeriel’s voice didn’t reach my ears and passed by my ear lobe in vain.
I turned to her with the feeling of losing everything about her because I couldn’t bear to face her.
