Chapter 755 – #6-17 Falling Into a Trap (2)
Kwasik Puck
Kwaaak, bah… !
The terrible sound of breaking flesh and bones continues to reverberate.
For some reason, even though it is an abandoned factory, under the light coming in, Sim Cheong continues to kill and kill the corpses that have fallen at his feet.
Her body, face, and surrounding area were full of protruding flesh and blood, and she was in a terrible state.
Even though the strong smell of blood rose from her breath, Sim Cheong seemed calm.
Sim Cheong lowered her wildly swinging goblin bat.
Below, the body of No. 13, with about half of her upper body, including her head, blown off, is no longer moving.
Neither resurrection nor counterattack seemed more than possible.
Was it because Sim Cheong recognized that that his attack stopped?
“…”
She looked down at the corpse with her indifferent eyes and suddenly opened her mouth.
“【Tap tok tok】.”
“【Tap tok tok】.”
The small humming sound is like a happy song like her humming.
It was an unusual sight for her to hum in front of such a terrible sight, but Sim Cheong herself did not care about that fact.
“【Please grant my wish. Please make my wish come true】”
“【This is Iolsini, the goblin’s bat to make all wishes come true】.”
Sim Cheong’s arms are lifted.
The ghost bat held in her hand along with her arm lifted loudly and then fell in an arc around her.
A goblin bat hit the container wall next to her!! And I knocked loudly.
At the same time, the words of the chant that Sim Cheong was humming came to an end.
“【Wake up quickly】.”
Quick! The landscape around her and around her began to crack.
The scenery of a dilapidated abandoned factory, and the container boxes randomly abandoned nearby.
And the corpse of No. 13, whose upper body was horribly missing, fell at her feet, as well as the flesh and blood stains around it.
There are cracks in everything.
Creaking and cracks running.
I’m going to fall in love!!
As a result, the entire landscape began to collapse.
The body of No. 13 disappeared.
Container boxes and discarded waste materials that were loosely rolling around disappeared.
The dusty floor becomes clean, and the faint light illuminating the surroundings changes into a soft but clear light.
The smell and presence that filled the surroundings all change.
The illusion that was there just a moment ago was erased, and a completely different landscape unfolded in front of it, even though it was the same space.
“Oops, I got caught. If I went back satisfied with that, that would be fine.”
“Anyway, excuse me, secretary. And I’ll welcome you.”
A space filled with clean and colorful interiors and lighting that makes it hard to believe that it was just an abandoned factory.
In the middle of a space decorated like a so-called casino, No. 13, who was sitting arrogantly on a large sofa, waves his hand at Sim Cheong.
* * *
It was just two days ago that I heard the story from Spade.
On the day that her secretary Sim Cheong made a proposal to her, she immediately came to No. 13 and informed him of it.
『What, is it really okay if you tell me that? You’re a hero, right?』
#13 half-sarcastically mocked, asking if it was okay for a hero to be like this.
The other half also contains the meaning that it would have been better to cooperate, even if only because of the spell on that neck.
To No. 13’s question, Spade answered calmly.
『I’m now Villain No. 13’s slave Spade, so there’s nothing I can do.』
In particular, he never gave such an order.
It may be different for other heroes, but for Spade, whose brainwashing doesn’t work well, she respects her autonomy as much as possible.
If she wanted to, she could have betrayed No. 13 and complied with her secretary’s request.
Of course, since No. 13 had excellent staff by his side in the first place, even if Spade had tried to deceive him, he would have figured it out right away…
If it had been the old spade, he would have chosen to sell out issue 13 without a second thought.
No, if you are a hero who sells and sleeps, that would be the right thing to do.
However, as time passed, did some kind of change occur in Spade’s mind?
In issue 13, I felt that the change was very interesting.
Anyway.
I already knew that his secretary Sim Cheong was moving around and investigating him.
I didn’t think about surveillance magic because I didn’t have any knowledge, but at least I was able to check without difficulty by meeting each and every hero under his control.
Perhaps the investigation was over, but now it seemed like they were finally ready to take direct action.
I hoped there would still be a little more time, but I ended up having no choice but to do something with the cards I had in hand.
At that time, No. 13 was about to sigh without confidence.
『… No. 13.』
Spades, with the kind of fragile voice I’ve never heard before.
She spoke to No. 13 not as a hero, but as her true feelings.
『I don’t want to die…』
It didn’t look like he was going to cry. Spade desperately tried to hide his expression.
He was trying hard to keep a calm expression, but his lips were trembling.
The hand smoothed the scar on the nape of his neck, as if he was unconsciously concerned.
Traces of the spell cast by Fairy Snow White. A sign that she can drop her head at any time.
Spades are heroes.
The hero is the enemy of the villain.
Many villains have lost their lives at the hands of heroes, and No. 13 has almost died at the hands of Spade several times.
So even if Spade dies now, it’s none of No. 13’s business.
… It shouldn’t be.
However, even though Spades is a hero, it now belongs to No. 13.
Now, both Spade and the 7th division she belongs to have become the property of No. 13.
So, I couldn’t just sit back and watch.
I can’t just stand by and watch him touch and destroy something.
… There is no other reason. There won’t be. Because the two are originally a hero and a villain.
In this way, No. 13 rekindled its fighting spirit, saying that it could never lose.
* * *
~~♬~♪
I can hear the sound of a classic song.
I smell a strong perfume-like smell that makes me dizzy.
What is illuminated under the soft lighting is a casino-like scenery.
Sim Cheong has never been to an actual casino, so she couldn’t compare what it was like in real life, but at least that was her impression at a glance.
In the spacious hall decorated like a casino, there were several more people except No. 13.
All heroes of the 7th division.
Spade Club Check Coco In addition, Apple, which was supposed to have betrayed and left, was also there.
Without knowing why, everyone was dressed as so-called bunny girls…
“Why don’t you sit down? Secretary. Is there a drink you want? You can order as much as you want, starting from regular carbonated water to quite expensive wine or spirits.”
Without answering, Sim Cheong tried to take a step closer to No. 13 without hiding her fear.
Then her movements were quickly stopped.
Chuck… !
Before I knew it, the check and spade came like the wind.
In the case of the check, she was aiming at the center of Sim Cheong’s neck with the end of the heavy baton in her hand, and in the case of the spade, she was guarding her with the batons in both of her hands.
Behind No. 13’s back, the club was aiming at Sim Cheong with the gun in his hand, and although Coco seemed to be doing nothing at first, she was already ready to use magic at any time.
Her sincerity, comparable to that of Sim Cheong, emanates from the members of the 7th Division who surround her.
It was a life that was not covered at all by the provocative attire of a bunny girl.
“Please sit down, secretary. “You can sit down for a moment, right?”
“Are you calling this a threat?”
Sim Cheong remains calm even in this situation where weapons are aimed at her as if they are surrounding her from all directions.
No, it was rather a laughable attitude.
And she holds the goblin bat in her hand.
Check and Spade bring their weapons closer to keep Sim Cheong in check, and a clanking sound is heard from the gun in her hand.
Nevertheless, Sim Cheong was still full of confidence.
She seems convinced that no matter how hard they try, they can’t stand in her way.
However, No. 13 also looks calm as he looks at Sim Cheong, who has such an attitude.
“You are not cultured. My thoughts are short. I heard that as soon as she graduated from school, she worked for that woman called the head commander? You must have always been in the position of giving instructions to others. Is it because of that? Why do you look so thoughtless?”
“… You… !”
“Sit down. Anyway, if the secretary is sincere, we can’t stop him, right? Rahe wasn’t even brought here. But why are you so wary?”
Naturally, Sim Cheong, who was about to get angry, was interrupted and No. 13 spoke in a provocative manner.
As it happened, No. 13 immediately threw the next bait to Sim Cheong, who frowned.
“――Don’t you want to undo the brainwashing on the heroes?”
It was definitely a great bait.
Shim Cheong has already learned that the range of heroes brainwashed by No. 13 is very wide.
Regardless of their position, many heroes became slaves to No. 13.
Of course, it was judged that the heroes he could freely handle were limited to the 7th Division, but as Sim Cheong, who did not have much knowledge about brainwashing in the first place, it was difficult to judge what the scope was and how dangerous it was.
In that situation, No. 13 made this suggestion.
If he were an ordinary hero, he would have seriously considered No. 13’s suggestion.
Even if it’s a lie, you might decide that it’s worth at least listening to the story.
Anyway, I could always kill that man. It won’t be too late to kill him after hearing the story.
‘Is that what you think?’
If No. 13 made that judgment, he was clearly mistaken.
In the first place, she was not a person who cared about the lives of heroes.
Of course, they are not murderers or psychopaths who don’t care about people’s lives, but they are stupid traitors who have already fallen into the hands of the enemy in the first place.
If I thought that even one thing could harm Fairy Snow White, I was planning to kill them all without mercy.
It’s funny to expect her to worry about other heroes when everything centers around her Snow White Fairy.
‘Stupid man. Just like this, I’ll kill you before you say the next word――’
“I’m sure your commander-in-chief will be happy once we free the brainwashing of all the heroes, including Captain Rahe. Isn’t it? “In the first place, the reason you gave me a reprieve instead of killing me that day was to remove Rahe’s brainwashing.”
“…”
Sim Cheong’s life, which had been growing, subsided with No. 13’s words.
‘… Fairy Snow White will like it… Definitely.’
“… Joy. Just listen to the story.”
In the end, Sim Cheong completely withdrew his killing power and even got rid of the goblin bat in his hand.
Only then did the check and spade weapons that surrounded her were removed, and Sim Cheong sat down on the seat he had pointed to, as if to listen to her story.
By no means was he harsh on what No. 13 said, but he decided it would be wiser to listen to the story first.
I never, ever, ever fell for the cheap persuasion that Fairy Snow White would praise me… !
