Chapter 209 – The Homeless in the Back Alley
While the homeless people’s eyes were focused on the troll skeleton, steel skeletons rushed under it and began tearing down the quarantine.
Some of the homeless men, awake from the shock of the troll skeleton, hurled sharpened wooden spears at the steel skeleton.
A panicked voice could be heard as the wooden spear bounced off the hard skeleton of the steel skeleton.
“It’s so hard that the weapon won’t go through!”
“Oh shit!! Why did this fucking thing happen to me!”
He screamed and screamed and tried his best to stop the skeletons, but that kind of attack couldn’t work.
It is the result of your self-inflicted Endure it with evil.
The troll skeleton raised its sword again and struck down. It shattered the wooden furniture that formed the barrier with a crackling sound.
Some debris poured down the inside of the barrier and the screams of the homeless could be heard.
“Black moon! Get ready! If the barrier collapses, we attack all at once!”
“I will kill them all!!”
“Dog-like beggars!”
At Danny Ahn’s order, who was watching the situation from behind, the members of the organization roared and spurted death.
“Hey! Again, casualties must be minimized!”
In the unusually boiling atmosphere, Trisian applied the brakes and prepared the guards.
Now, it’s only a matter of time before that barrier is completely destroyed. If it breaks, the members of the organization will rush in and subdue it right away.
Clumsy! The skeleton’s attack started making ominous sounds from the barrier. It’s probably a premonition before collapsing.
The troll skeleton raised its sword again. The sparkling sunlight hit the sword and shone brilliantly.
The sword reflected the light and landed on the crude wooden barrier. The barrier collapses.
“Aww!!”
“It collapses!”
“Sir Baal!!”
“Attack!!”
Along with the screams of the homeless inside the room, the members of the gang hiding in the alley rushed in unison.
“Bastards!!”
“These fucking bastards! How dare you, Jason!”
It was an abyss.
Members of the organization rushed at the homeless people who were crushed by the collapsed barrier and mercilessly wielded clubs.
The homeless man, whose lower body was covered by a barrier and only his upper body was exposed, screamed and stretched out his hand at the blows of a club.
As I tried to block the stick, I let out a louder scream as I broke my fingers or broke my arm.
“Watch! Bring out the homeless! Make sure there are no casualties!”
The chaos and murder began to subside little by little as the guards pushed away members who were wielding clubs at the homeless.
Germi, who hardened her face, looked at her and called Danny Ahn from behind.
“Dannyan, was this the last time?”
“Yes, all the beggars in the back alleys were driven here. There are no homeless people in these back alleys anymore.”
“Good. Let’s go to the place where the homeless are gathered. We have to interrogate them to find out who is behind them.”
“I will also gather all the members of the organization.”
He left Danny Ahn, who had started gathering members, and left the alley first. When I came to the place where I had collected the homeless people I had previously captured, a huge number of homeless people had accumulated while I was away for a while.
“Do too many. If you include the cubs gathered on the side of the barrier, there must be over 200 of them.”
“Half of them must have been in a position to attack Hergel.”
How should I interrogate to open my mouth? When I grabbed a few people and asked them questions earlier, not a single one answered.
If he doesn’t answer this time, he’ll have to be tortured and made to blow. But you can’t torture people in the middle of a city like this.
“Trician, what are you going to do with these homeless people?”
“The guys who shot the crossbow killed people, so they deserve the death penalty. Otherwise, slavery would be appropriate for highway robbery. If we release the homeless, we will disturb the security of the city, so we should take this opportunity to deal with it.”
Trisian doesn’t seem to want to look after these homeless people either.
“Germi, why don’t we just buy these guys?”
“You want to buy it?”
“You saw earlier that you didn’t answer when I asked who bought it. Let’s drag it to the black moon and make it open its mouth. These guys have to tell the truth quickly. Get Johannes. I don’t know what Johannes will do when he is cornered if he procrastinates.”
“Um… That’s it too. Besides, the supply of slaves has not been smooth these days, so it might be better to replenish them at this opportunity.”
Basically, the slaves of this world are criminals. If the guards do not catch criminals, of course there will be no slaves.
In the back of the alley, the guards dragged the homeless people out.
“Mr. Trisian, the homeless who face slavery will be purchased from our Black Moon. Don’t the guards have enough space to accommodate criminals?”
In this world, when criminals are executed, they are immediately executed or sold as slaves, so they don’t spend a lot of money to build prisons. Maybe Trisian is also worried about what to do with this huge number of homeless people.
“… I’ll send you the bill later.”
“You fucking bastards! Who are you to sell us into slavery! What rights do you have!”
“Be calm, you bastard!”
A homeless man who was caught and dragged out by the guards overheard our conversation and shouted and was beaten by the guards.
“Looks like there’s enough places to keep slaves in the Black Moon, right?”
“Yes. It’s a slave trade.”
“Hmm… You haven’t forgotten what we promised, right?”
“Sure. As soon as we catch the traitor today, I will hand it over along with the evidence.”
The conversation with Trissian is over. All that remains is a simple interrogation. I was thinking about who to ask, but I approached the homeless man who had been beaten up by a security guard earlier.
The homeless pup glared at me with her arms and legs tied.
“Hey, who told you to attack Al Hergel? And for what price did you do that? Did you get the money?”
“Fuck you sick bastard.”
“I don’t know the topic of this fuck.”
“Gagging! Cool! Cool! Damn… !”
As he poked her toe into her pit of the stomach, the man curled up on him like a shrimp and started coughing.
“It won’t be easy to get him to open his mouth. After all, I’m going to drag you into the organization and torture you to make you answer.”
“I’ll let the kids do the transportation.”
Germi, who was watching from behind, looked down at the homeless people and said.
*****
“Go in quickly! You slaves!”
“Don’t push!”
“I’m going to fall!”
“How are you doing in here! There is no room to lie down!”
“Fuck you back here!”
Of the nearly 200 slaves, excluding 20 who shot crossbows, about 180 were dragged to the black moon. The underground slave storage is about to explode.
The warden, who is in charge of the archives, pushed the homeless enslaved people into cages, wiping the sweat from their brows.
It looks like bean sprouts and takes your breath away.
“Major, are you running out of space?”
“No. Since they are slaves anyway, giving them a place to sit is enough. These guys get into a bad habit if you make them comfortable. You have to roll hard and break down your mental strength to become a compliant slave. I have to make sure I can’t sleep well.”
“As for slave assistants, the warden is an expert, so he will take care of himself. If you need any support, tell me without hesitation.”
“Yes! Boss!”
The warden nodded her head in delight at Germi’s words.
“You scoundrels who will be punished! Your behavior will not continue forever!”
“Her?”
One of the slaves locked inside the prison shouted Barakbarak. One of the guards standing guard in her hallway thrust a pointed spear through her bars and stabbed her slaves at random.
“Who told this slave bastard to make a fuss?!”
“Aww!”
“I didn’t say anything!”
The slaves stabbed by the spears screamed and began to struggle in the confined space to avoid the spears.
“Don’t move in front of me! I will be crushed against the wall!”
“Ah! It stings!”
Huh, these chews, are you very good?
It feels very refreshing to see these arrogant guys being bullied in a small space no bigger than an animal cage.
“Did you gather all the homeless people here?”
“These chews, you just have to make them bleed now!”
At the top of the stairs leading into the hallway, officers began to come down, making a raucous noise.
All of them come in with a lot of recalled expressions. Only Johannes is dying. It’s going to be very shitty.
I looked at the homeless people trapped in narrow cages in front of the executives. Hostility and fear overflowed from their eyes.
Ignoring their gaze, I looked back at the officers.
“Once you follow me. Preparations for the interrogation have been completed.”
“Oh, I see! Go right away!”
“Go go go!”
The officers followed behind me. I passed through the cell where the slaves were housed and opened the innermost iron door and entered. The walls were lined with all sorts of torture instruments made of iron and wood.
Huge wooden beds to keep people in, little iron cages to keep people in, everything from small knives used to slit skin to huge axes.
“This is the assistant classroom…”
“It’s always a bloody place…”
“Who is inside?”
In the middle of the teaching room, ten people were bound to chairs, blindfolded and gagged. The officers looked at them and started whispering.
“Among the homeless, there are those who are talkative and have loud voices or who seem to be taking initiative in something.”
Among them, there is a bastard who asked me to give him 1 gold. I can’t give you 1 gold, but I can give you 1 gold worth of torture.
I’ll give you one serving equal to two servings.
“I will start the interrogation now.”
At my words, the officers stood on the wall next to the door, closed their mouths, and began to glance at each other.
It must be frightening to think that the person next to you could be a traitor.
I removed the gag and ear plugs of the guy on the far left.
“Pu, pu-ha! Loose this! These puppies! No matter what you do, you won’t get the answer you want! You scum!”
Just listening to José, the highwayman who attacked Hergel, who was about to go to Seoul after retirement, makes the world feel unjust.
“Fuck, who would think I’m a bad guy?”
“Right! A group of scumbag criminals who kidnap, rape, and sell people as slaves!”
I removed his blindfold and looked down.
The guy also looked up at me. He had a shaggy beard that hadn’t been shaved, a grubby face full of grime, and dirty eyes, but his eyes were like a roaring flame.
“Do you have any proof?”
“Evidence? Hehe… I am a witness. I remember clearly what you guys did.”
The guy gritted his teeth and glared at me.
