Chapter 469 – Evolution (3)
Han Ju-hee fell into agony when he said that a brainwasher was needed.
In other words, we must help in causing an unprecedented event, such as a prisoner’s escape.
It was like that until now.
Although they may have given power indirectly, they have never provided direct help.
Of course, I didn’t think it would last forever.
Because my wishes and the ideals they desire require more strength and effort to unfold.
I thought there would be a time when I would step forward directly, but I never thought that the first time would be something like helping a prisoner escape.
“…”
She was worried.
Is this really the right way?
And soon I realized that it was a rumor.
‘It’s been a long time since I left the right path.’
Her ideal for Hexagram is to turn the existing world upside down.
There is no way to succeed in something like this if you choose between means and methods.
Therefore, I mentally agreed with his message that a brainwasher was needed.
‘It will definitely be of great help.’
Brainwashing will greatly contribute to increasing the power of the organization.
It will no longer be possible to recruit an opponent by using harsh words, kidnapping them without offering good conditions and intentions, and then injecting them with ideology and using them as puppets.
Rationally, I fully understand.
But the heart constantly questions that understanding.
‘Is this really true?’
It bothers me.
Letting a vicious criminal out into the world.
That was truly ridiculous and outrageous.
A subject who even has thoughts of turning the world upside down is afraid of releasing just one criminal.
Through this, I finally realized.
That he is not yet ready to throw his whole body into his ideals.
Therefore, this incident was the biggest turning point in her life.
Should I give up and go back?
Or will we cross the line and reach a point of no return?
“…”
The thoughts didn’t last very long.
After making her choice, she headed straight to the special prison in Cheongsong-gun.
The prison has a magic block installed to prevent prisoners from using magic power.
A device to induce the magic circle within the body to dissipate by resonating with the specially shaped bracelets and anklets worn on their hands and feet by the magic circle encompassing the entire prison.
She easily interfered with the magic blocker outside the prison.
There is only one reason why it is possible.
Because she is the one who invented and installed the magic blocker here.
“…”
The outstretched hand, no, the entire arm is shaking.
All you have to do is grab hold of the magic power, and it will all be over.
The magic blocker’s function will be stopped for a moment, and Brain Washer will not miss it.
At the end, she hesitated for a moment.
This was because two faces appeared one after another over the eyelids covering their eyes and then disappeared.
Daughter and husband.
Her virtual ones stopped her.
It’s not too late.
Stop now.
Ironically, their dissuasion served as an opportunity for me to hold on to my intentions even more strongly.
Clenching her fists
Kwasik!
So strong that the sound of bones resonates loudly.
The wave that started from her grasp spreads throughout the prison.
For an instant, the magical power blocker stops functioning, and a momentary gap appears.
In terms of time, it is less than 1 second.
Brain Washer subdued everyone in the prison yard in that short period of time.
After confirming this, she forced her heavy body to turn.
Her role ended here.
“I’ll take care of the rest.”
Her shadow on the floor fluctuates in the sunlight.
A man is crouching there.
Hexagram.
Six horns made by intersecting six lines.
Hexagram’s highest-ranking executive took one of them.
“Shadow Walker.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the shadow was torn from the ground and transformed into an independent entity.
A silhouette entirely covered in black.
Han Joo-hee continued speaking to him.
“You probably haven’t forgotten the promise you made to me.”
The black silhouette’s face cracks at the question thrown out of nowhere.
It was a mouth.
“I know.”
To answer the other person’s question.
“Criminals cannot escape from prison except brainwashers…, Was it to guarantee the lives of the prison guards?”
“… That’s right.”
This was the minimum amount of conscience she could demonstrate.
To prevent unnecessary confusion.
Black silhouette, shadow walker nods.
“Okay, everything.”
After she finished speaking, the silhouette crawled under the ground again and disappeared at high speed.
She watched her silently and soon closed her eyes tightly.
* * *
The black silhouette climbed up the high wall of the prison and arrived in front of Myeong-ho Yoon.
The inside had already fallen into his hands.
He had been languishing at the bottom of the food chain for several days, but before he knew it, he was king again.
And the status and limbs that were created again gave him some freedom.
“… “You can tell just by looking at it.”
Myungho Yoon’s eyes narrow as he looks at the black silhouette.
A familiar energy is flowing from the other person.
The power is felt more clearly because it doesn’t even try to hide it.
“Brother…, Same as me. Right?”
The silhouette nods its head.
“Yes, everything.”
Although the way it was manifested was different, the power of both people originated from the same being.
The name of that being is Sloth.
“I am the apostle of sloth, Shadow Walker.”
“Hmm… “It doesn’t seem like a very pleasant thing to meet the same apostle.”
“Same, everything.”
Although their appearances and abilities were different, they felt a sense of kinship with each other in front of them.
And at the same time, I was feeling a deep sense of rejection.
It felt like I was face to face with a doppelganger who borrowed my face.
Myungho Yoon asked with a slight frown.
“… Did you create a gap for me?”
“No. That’s my colleague’s job.”
“Oh, he’s a colleague.”
He is capable of breaking through the tight security of a special prison and turning off the magical power block.
“You are in very good company.”
“Will you join us too?”
Only then did I realize it.
What does he want from me?
Myungho Yoon said.
“If we have the same purpose, there’s nothing we can’t do together.”
The black silhouette responded.
“Place the world at your feet.”
“Hoo… ?”
Myungho Yoon feels strong curiosity.
The black silhouette, Shadow Walker’s words, continue.
“Hunters are heaven, ordinary humans are earth.”
A deep smile is drawn on his lips.
“I get the feeling that maybe our goals aren’t that different.”
Is it because the essence is the same?
The conversation between the two went very smoothly, even with words spoken intermittently.
And it was decided.
“Great. “Let us join your cause.”
“Good choice.”
Silhouette raising thumbs up.
“I guess I have to get out of prison first.”
My gaze, glistening with life, turns to the prisoners lined up in front of me.
From the beginning, he had no intention of making them his limbs.
I just want to repay all the indignities I have suffered.
When he tried to give an order, a black silhouette raised his hand and stopped him.
“Prison guard, save me. Prisoners are prohibited from escaping.”
A silhouette reciting the promise made earlier with Han Joo-hee.
Yoon Myeong-ho, who frowned at his words, immediately smiled coldly, gathered the guards among the prisoners separately, and then asked the silhouette.
“Isn’t it okay to just break out of jail?”
Silhouette nodding its head.
Accordingly, Myeong-ho Yoon gave instructions to the prisoners.
“From now on, kill yourselves.”
A truly cruel command.
His words continue.
“Until only one person remains.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge commotion arose.
Poop!
Puck!
Kwasik!
The prisoners who received the order became furious and started attacking the people next to them.
Teeth fall out, bones break, and blood splatters.
Yoon Myeong-ho asked while savoring the cruel scene.
“What are your future plans?”
Then the silhouette responded by pointing at him with its index finger.
“You are leaving Korea.”
“Well, that’s good. I want to pay off my debt, but…, We’ll have to gather our strength for a while to do that.”
Myung-ho Yoon envisions Do-jin Kim’s face and vows to sharpen his sword for revenge.
In the meantime, only one winner has been decided in the fierce battlefield.
A man covered in muscles from head to toe.
Coincidentally, he was also the person who harassed Yoon Myeong-ho the most.
He smiles brightly and gives an order to the man who walks in front of him, his blood dripping.
“Congratulations on your victory, brother.”
“Thanks… “I do.”
“As compensation, I will order you to commit suicide. Please accept it gladly.”
“… Yes.”
At his command, the man immediately bit his tongue.
Quad!
Blood pours from the mouth with an eerie sound.
A prison uniform that turns red.
The man’s body, which he was holding on to tremblingly, slowly falls apart.
Whisk!
After the last remaining prisoner lost his life cruelly.
The black silhouette handed him her note.
“If you go there, you can escape Korea.”
So he asked.
“Aren’t you going too?”
A silhouette slowly shaking its head.
“There is still a mission left.”
The purpose of his coming here was twofold.
One is to steal Yoon Myeong-ho, who is presumed to be an apostle of sloth, with the cooperation of Han Joo-hee.
And the second one.
“It must be killed. The organization’s enemy.”
Assassination of an enemy who has been interfering with the organization’s recent events.
“Liver, everything.”
The silhouette fell to the ground again and soon disappeared without a trace.
* * *
A tremendous amount of energy flows from the team members who carefully take a drop of the elixir and struggle to manage the internal flow.
You can see and hear their changes with your eyes and ears.
Pop!
The weak body is strengthened, and the imbalanced balance returns to its original position.
As the body is strengthened, the quality of magical energy coming out of the body also becomes deeper.
Perhaps in the future, even if you use magic with the same magic power or strengthen your body, the efficiency will be much higher than before.
We are achieving such rapid growth.
“Ugh… Wow… !”
One person is reacting particularly violently, even making strange moans.
The main character is Shin Yu-jeong.
“… “Why is he like that?”
The whole body is red.
It looks like it could catch fire if something lightly touches it and causes friction.
When I was watching him closely, wondering what the hell was going on.
Flash!
Shin Yu-jeong opened her eyes.
Still red body, hot breath.
The guy turned his head and opened his mouth with a flash of light in my direction.
“Me…, I heard that the characteristics have evolved… ?”
“… ?”
I guess I hit the jackpot.
