Chapter 460 – Power (1)
Brainwasher Yoon Myeong-ho was arrested after losing the foundation he had worked so hard to build overnight.
After recovering from his wounds to the point where they were not life-threatening, he was immediately detained in the association’s investigation room.
He was sitting in a chair, literally unable to move.
His hands and feet were not only handcuffed and shackled, but also straitjacketed, completely restricting his movements.
As if that wasn’t enough, a specially designed eye patch was placed over the eyes to completely block the view.
The reason for this behavior was the fear deep within.
“Be careful and be careful. “Because you never know when he might get angry.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“If something doesn’t feel right, take action immediately.”
He possesses the most vicious abilities among the numerous criminals the Association has caught so far.
Brainwashing.
The power to manipulate the minds of others to one’s liking.
Hundreds of hunters detained in temporary camps are still crying out for him.
-“Give up the religious leader!”
-“You will be punished, you filthy seeds of evil!”
-“Our leader, the Almighty Son of Light, will punish you!”
He sings clumsy hymns and recites doctrines until his voice becomes hoarse.
The only thing contained in those red, bloodshot eyes is madness.
Brainwashing is such a scary thing.
Doesn’t it blindly make people with different appearances and personalities all the same?
The association employees who saw this felt deep fear.
‘I don’t want to be like that.’
Before they were brainwashed, they were all healthy hunters.
Those who conquered dungeons, dealt with villains, and contributed to the peace of this country.
They used to live a life far away from crime, but now they are crying out the names of criminals.
Even ignoring the families they were reunited with after several years.
That pitiful scene turned into horror and dread.
So they placed too many restrictions on Yoon Myeong-ho.
They even hung a leash with a built-in electric shock function to prepare for any emergency.
The investigator who entered the investigation room with his colleagues’ new request opened his mouth with a very nervous expression.
“Myeong-ho Yoon, do you know how many days it has been since you were detained here?”
Myungho Yoon shook his head with a faint smile on his lips.
“Well. Even my eyes are covered, so I can’t tell if it’s day or night.”
His tone of speech was very relaxed.
So much so that you can’t even think of him as a criminal facing only the worst possible outcome.
“Hundreds of hunters are unable to return to their families because of you. “Are criminals like you not even feeling remorse?”
Yoon Myeong-ho’s lips twitched at the remark full of justice.
It was an obvious mockery.
To ridicule and deceive the opponent.
“Investigator.”
“…”
“Their past or family are not important to me at all. The believer who is by their side now is their older brother and younger sister, and I am their mother and father.”
Truly sophistry.
But his words are not over yet.
“Rather, isn’t it too much for you to keep me here? They have separated the children from the father, and the father from the child.”
Bang!
A sound of shock is heard as soon as you finish speaking.
It was the sound made by the investigator, who could not stand the remark, which could not even be described as shameless, got up from his seat and hit the desk with his face.
“You’re saying that right now… !”
He was about to burst out in anger after falling for Yoon Myeong-ho’s pace.
Rattly
“Okay, that’s it.”
The tightly closed door of the interrogation room opened, and a man entered and silenced him.
“Who, who…”
The investigator who looked towards the door in confusion saw none other than Kim Do-jin.
“Ki, Kim Do-jin Hunter… ?”
He burst into the investigation room where the investigation was in progress and opened his mouth with a grin.
“I’ll take care of it from here on out, so you go out and cool off.”
* * *
I heard the story.
Our religious leader has been saying nothing but bullshit since he was detained in the interrogation room.
Thanks to this, there are more than five investigators who grabbed the back of their necks and almost fell to the ground.
“Heh, heh, indeed.”
Thanks to this, my competitive spirit is slightly boiling.
He was so good at talking bullshit that all the investigators who were selected for their ability were eliminated.
So, I saw him dealing with an investigator who came in advance to conduct a preliminary investigation.
-“Rather, isn’t it too much for you to keep me here? You have separated the children from the father, and the father from the child.”
I can understand just by listening to one or two questions.
“What, nothing special.”
It’s of a high standard, but not that special.
That’s usually the case with kids who calmly commit heinous crimes that others can’t even imagine.
They know very well that my thoughts and viewpoints are not normal.
But there is only one reason to say that.
Because the reaction of the other person following him was funny.
Break into the investigation room and take down the existing investigator before the other party shows what they want.
Then, sit in a warm seat and face the other person.
“How have you been? Is there anything uncomfortable?”
“… Thanks to you, I am doing well. Ah, there is one thing I need.”
“What is it?”
“Brother’s life.”
Bloody tone.
In response, he lightly waves his hand and accepts it.
“Oh, that’s a bit tricky. “There are a lot of people who want to kill me.”
“Hoo, I guess you’ve picked up a lot of grudges here and there?”
“They’re all criminals like you, right?”
“…”
“Anyway, if you want to kill me, take a number and wait. Do you know anything? Maybe you’ll get a chance too.”
Of course, that won’t happen.
I take off the blindfold covering the face of the guy who seems to be speechless and keeps his mouth shut.
A guy frowning at the sudden light that seeps in.
“It’s good? It’s been a while since I saw the light.”
“… “It doesn’t look good because it includes your face.”
The tone of speech is slowly starting to become harsh.
You would have figured it out by now.
Unlike the investigators who have fooled me so far, my sophistry will not work on me.
“I know you guys well.”
These kids will never do anything if you tell them to blow it, give it to me, do it.
What are you going to do?
The moment you are caught, you are destined to fall into the abyss.
The basic mindset here is to go without giving yourself even more headaches.
So, in order for these kids to listen obediently, we need to open a way.
“Let’s make a deal, let’s do it.”
“It’s a deal.”
For the first time, curiosity appears in his eyes.
“Okay, deal. If you promise to free me from brainwashing, I will grant you whatever you want as much as possible. Of course, other than the absurd conditions of asking for release.”
The guy who laughs as soon as I finish speaking.
“Other than the offer to release me, do you think there are any other conditions that could be put on me right now?”
“If you look carefully, you’ll find it.”
There is something that people in bad situations easily misunderstand.
Thinking that right now is the worst with nowhere else to fall.
But this is wrong.
Where I thought the bottom was, there was another bottom.
A never ending abyss where you never know where it will end.
When you see that place, you will realize it.
If we struggle even now, we can be at least one step away from the worst.
I plan to make him realize that from now on.
“Of course, you will end up in the Prison Belt.”
“…”
The worst prison in history.
And the graves of criminals.
“What is the sentence…, You know that the sentence has no meaning there.”
Whether it is 3 years or 30 years, it is meaningless in front of the Prison Belt.
Because no one has returned to society after serving their sentence there.
“If you promise to just release the brainwashing, you may not go all the way to the Prison Belt. “How are you?”
“…”
Myungho Yoon is lost in thought for a moment.
But I guess this wasn’t enough to instill fear.
“To be honest, I’m scared…, I’ll take it though. “If you are trapped somewhere else, you will no longer be able to go out into the world.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
That is correct.
Considering what he has done up to now, he is definitely going to be put to death.
Of course, executions have long since disappeared, so you will rot in prison until you die.
“Seup, it’s a shame.”
I sincerely regret it.
I thought it was a good condition to get me out of the prison belt.
There are a few other suggestions, but I think I’ll skip them all.
Since it doesn’t seem like we’ll be able to get over it by any stretch of the imagination, we have no choice but to pull out the worst hand we’ve prepared.
“Then how about this?”
I raise my body, approach him, and extend my hand.
The location of contact is near the heart.
Holds black energy in the palm of your hand.
Eventually, an ugly mouth, teeth, and a long tongue appear.
This is gluttony.
As this body’s abilities increase, the power becomes more specific and ravenous.
Once it has a mouth, it can eat everything.
Of course, the magic power of others.
“Only on the condition that you protect the power given to you by the God of Sloth.”
Even the power given by other gods.
Churp!
With the sound of the other person’s appetite returning, the opponent’s power began to flow through the grasp.
