Chapter 17 – #07_Hunters Set Traps (2)
One.
“Uh? It’s strange.”
“What’s wrong?”
Yu-chan stuck his head out and looked at the surveillance screen in front of the guard.
I returned to the officetel as soon as I finished disposing of the body to check the CCTV installed in the officetel complex.
Originally, it seems that there are some janitors who do not confirm the various procedures, but
Luckily, this guard was a master at slowing down.
When I showed signs of being moderately bothersome, I obediently checked the recorded video together.
“Is something broken? There was no video at all.”
The guard, who had a white beard, often drank and fell asleep during normal working hours, so I didn’t expect much.
But even the CCTV is dead.
First of all, things in the house are gone.
He said that he wanted to check the surveillance camera.
By the way, even though three cameras were dead, they didn’t do anything for two days and didn’t even notice?
Yoo-chan began to feel sorry for the 100,000 won he paid every month as maintenance.
The location of the camera, which was probably broken, was quite revealing.
In order to avoid CCTV as much as possible on the way from the officetel to Yuchan’s house, there are a total of three things to face.
One in front of the emergency stairwell and two at each end of the hallway.
Only these are properly lit.
“Are you sure? It’s not that there are missing items in the house, are you forgetting them?”
The security guard suddenly gets irritated and reprimands Yu-chan.
Yu-chan felt a subtle murderous intent welling up.
Rather than reflecting on the subject of not handling their own work properly, they tried to treat a normal person as an idiot.
No matter how much it was for the sake of shifting responsibility, I was angry at the red flag that didn’t work.
“Looks like I was mistaken. I will check again.”
“Eh, didn’t the young person just waste time?”
“Yes, good job.”
It was wrong to expect too much in the first place.
It would be nice to check the surveillance cameras on the street or the black boxes of parked cars, but you have to go through formal procedures to do so.
First of all, it was not very pleasant for Yu-chan, who was committing various transgressions.
I tried my best to be a quiet, trouble-free neighbor.
After coming out of the management office, Yoo-chan lit a cigarette and looked around.
This figure may also be shown by that guy.
“You mean you want to play a game?”
It felt like child’s play.
The desire to show off, to be praised for one’s actions, is covered in a very neat way.
The culprit doesn’t just want to create a mystery.
Yu-chan wants to solve it.
It felt like a distorted conclusion.
I took out my cell phone and called the manager.
“Hello?”
“Uh, Yuchan, what’s going on?”
The name of the director of the heavenly self-taught academy is Kang Won-jang.
Although he is running an academy inherited from his parents, he leaves most of the work to the teachers and himself rides a sports car and is only focused on playing at night.
It is because there is almost no nose plucking in the academy, so it is possible to be free from various restraints.
Two years ago, Yu-chan, who approached the director under the guise of coincidence at a drinking party, took a suitable position as a psychological counselor while roasting him.
Differentiation is needed these days.
There must be something that appeals to parents beyond simply studying.
Rather than struggling only with studying, if there is at least one person who will listen to your worries, your academic efficiency and results will improve.
Well, I prepared this and that, but as soon as the director heard that a difference was needed, he actively hired Yu-chan.
Before that, he seemed to trust him very much, probably because he looked at the director’s black box and gave him various advice.
“Uh hyung, can I take a day off from school today?”
“Get a good rest for a day or three.”
“I don’t need that much, I’ll take a day off.”
“You take care of it, and I hang up because my head hurts.”
As expected, the director hung up the phone with a hangover.
It seems to have run like crazy yesterday.
After that, they listened to the director’s trivial concerns—mostly women’s issues—and kindly consulted them several times, so now they’ve developed a brother-sister relationship.
Yoo-chan immediately drove to a studio rental company in Incheon.
2.
The workshop rental company was my own small factory where I could rent oxygen welding machines, high-speed cutting machines, milling machines, and bending machines for one day.
The exterior looks just like a common metal factory.
The only difference from a normal factory is that there is a bulkhead above the urethane floor, so you can’t see what each other is making.
Usually, it seems that young adults rent as a hobby.
Yu-chan, who signed a contract stating that the studio would not be held liable for any accidents caused by misuse of her device, decided to borrow five hours.
50,000 won an hour.
It’s not cheap by any means, but since most of the ingredients are just provided, it’s not too expensive either.
What Yu-chan wanted to make was a crossbow.
To be precise, a booby trap with a crossbow.
Installed in the house, if the culprit comes in again for some stupid thing, he will give a scolding.
If the opponent pulls a prank, this side has no choice but to respond with a somewhat creepy prank.
It wasn’t that I didn’t think of traps or electric traps, but it’s more comfortable to be able to send them in one shot.
I also installed a camera at home.
Any incidents that occur while in the workshop will be recorded by a camera hidden between the bookshelves.
Yu-chan wanted to be on an equal footing even when playing games.
Being treated like prey is not suitable.
In Korea, crossbows are managed according to the Firearms Management Act, so it is difficult to obtain them online, and if you are not careful, your tail will be stepped on.
In that case, it is better to make it yourself.
Yu-chan went to the corner of the studio where materials were piled up and gathered things that seemed necessary.
A compound bow will be attached to the lower receiver of a plastic model gun to turn it into a crossbow.
I got a toy gun from a stationery store, so I passed it on, and I picked up some suitable aluminum pipes, steel plates, and pulleys to pull the strings needed to make the bow and body of the compound bow.
I plan to try one by one and do something that seems to have excellent performance.
The arrows will use glass fiber reinforced plastic pipes that are used as supports for flowering trees when tending the garden.
I decided to refer to the hunting broadhead for the head of the arrow.
There is a barb that is bent in the opposite direction around the point, so once it is hit, it is not easy to pull it out, and it is manufactured so that it cannot last long by riding an empty arrow shaft and causing more bleeding .
These days, how to make homemade bombs is also available on the Internet.
It’s about a blueprint of a crossbow, and it came up if you roughly typed it into Google.
As Yu-chan, who was interested in making things even when she was young, her heart fluttered as she felt that she had returned to her childhood for the first time in a long time.
Beginning with making rims and risers by welding pipes to her steel plate, Yoo-chan hummed to her.
3.
The work time took much longer than expected.
After renting an additional two hours and finishing, Yoo-chan put a crossbow the size of her forearm in her travel bag and got into the car.
The most difficult problem was, of course, the lack of processing materials.
If it could be made of something like carbon or duralumin alloy, it would have been much lighter and easier to process.
Since there were no materials available for free, the crossbow made by hand was very heavy.
Still, making something with my hands has always been a pleasure.
Yu-chan went straight home.
There was almost no reason to be concerned about unintentional checks here as much as Koreans, but it is also too heavy.
And I wanted to finish the measures even for a good night’s sleep today.
As soon as I opened the door and entered, I grabbed the hammer I had left in the shoe cabinet.
I don’t think that’s going to happen, but if it creeps in again while I’m out of the house, this time I’ll pay for it.
A meticulous search of the house for about three minutes ended up in vain.
Apparently, the culprit seemed to have a rather prudent personality.
I also checked the camera, but there is no sign that someone came and went in the middle.
Yuchan took out a crossbow from his carrier.
What we will create from now on is a golden bug device using wire and a lever.
A box was placed in front of the entrance as if it were a pile of luggage, and a loaded crossbow was placed in it.
If you don’t open the doorknob by lifting the handle up using a transparent fishing line on the doorknob, the moment you close the door again, an arrow with a force of 70 pounds will accurately pierce the body.
After tidying up the dangling fishing line with a nail and a small bearing, Yu-chan fixed the pillow on the porch as a demonstration and pulled the handle down to open it.
In this process, enough tension must have been transmitted to the trigger of the crossbow.
If it closes again…
I lowered my head and closed the door completely.
Arrows fired through the box with a shrieking sound savagely shattered the pillow.
Feathers fluttered like a special effect for wedding photography.
“Isn’t it nice?”
Satisfied with the superior performance, Yoo-chan retrieved the arrow, reloaded it, and took out his cell phone.
Around 10:00 I got up and I had something to do.
Originally, I was going to leave it alone, but it would be better to expose this loophole to a minimum.
So you’re only getting 5 hours of sleep?
It was Yu-chan who was slightly despondent, but he catches himself up.
All diligence is destined to be rewarded with results.
4.
Naye, who was studying in the hallway, glanced towards the counseling room.
For some reason, Teacher Yuchan didn’t come to work today.
In the morning, I was a little relieved at the thought of not having to do such a manly thing behind his back and face him right away.
After lunchtime and dinnertime, I strangely wanted to see his face.
Even if you don’t have to go to the counseling office, if you’re studying in the hallway, the teacher passing by will greet you kindly.
I studied hard until lunch while hiding such a false intention inside, but when I found out that he wasn’t going to work today, the rejection I felt…
“Oh, it’s difficult.”
Naye erased the formula of the 4-point math problem in front of her with an eraser.
I’m taking my anger out on the problem book that I’m annoyed for no reason.
No matter how much I worry, I don’t know.
I’ll have to ask a question later, so I checked it and moved on to the next question, and it was a challenge again.
Although she is a science student, she is particularly weak in math. She had to cry thanks to math in her last exam.
Maybe that’s why it’s extremely stressful every time a math problem that I don’t know comes up.
“Ha, should I really have an ex-con?”
Unless you chose a department because you had something in particular you wanted to do anyway, it wouldn’t be too late if it was February.
Naye, who was turning her sharpie around in response to her worries, looked at her counseling room with her upper body stretched out like a meerkat.
– Boo-woo!
Naye was started by the sudden loud ringing of her cell phone and switched her setting to silent.
It’s text
She erased her phone number, but she still remembers it.
It was Kim Hyun-woo.
Naye’s face turned pale in an instant.
Her fingertips tremble as she caresses her phone.
What else is going on?
She said that the teacher clearly solved it correctly.
Her remaining memories with him were now nothing but nightmares.
Kim Hyeon-woo, who not only secretly filmed his sexual intercourse video but also threatened to leak it, has no chin to remain in the slightest nostalgia for his ex-lover.
I checked the contents of the text carefully.
[Hey, there’s a baby I want to meet once, so don’t talk to me and her boyfriend until 12 o’clock in the OO cafe]
He was uttering nonsensical nonsense.
Could it be that Teacher Yoochan couldn’t delete the video?
It is also possible that she only pretended to erase it from the front and restored it from the back.
Naye felt her deep despair consume her.
The fact that she has to meet alone with someone she didn’t want to have a relationship with accelerates the anxiety in her heart.
Biting her lip, Naye looked around her.
She’d better tell the teacher.
She just couldn’t handle it alone.
Immediately after that, another text message was received.
[Know? What will happen if you don’t come
[Don’t you reply?]
Also, the video hasn’t been completely erased yet.
I thought it was strange that I was told that my bad-tempered ex-boyfriend was a lawyer, but at that time, I concluded with a hopeful observation out of immediate relief.
I felt like I was suffocating.
I barely got out of his grip and I liked a new person, so why is it still bothering me?
She thought about it for a long time, and when Naye did not reply, the phone rang.
Naye, who hurriedly hung up her phone, sent her reply and put her cell phone face down.
Her tears welled up.
I missed Teacher Yuchan.
