Chapter 28 – 7. Priest, We Meet Again. (4)
‘Is the baby’s father really there?’
Everything was suspicious. However, coming this far, it was strange to even buy it, so I swallowed dry saliva and carefully stood in front of the warehouse.
‘The child is crying and crying, I can’t ignore it, does he really have to die?’
I slowly stepped inside with the intention of quickly checking to see if there was anyone there and then heading back. The inside of the warehouse was still dark, as if it had been painted pitch black, and the interior was not visible at all.
“Who is there?”
Puck!
“Ouch!”
The moment you cross the threshold, you feel a dull feeling behind your back. As if someone had hit him with a wooden block, he fell forward, screaming with accompanying pain.
Thump-clap-
Huh?
The light shining towards me disappeared at once, and I heard the sound of the door being locked. Wondering what the hell was going on, I got back up without even feeling the pain and hurriedly walked towards the door. I pulled the door hard to somehow get out of this shitty space, but it didn’t open as if something had messed with it. .
Clap- Clap-
“Wait a minute, is this real…? ?”
My hair turns white. I had no idea what the situation was. I wanted to escape from this scary place quickly, so I used my body to push with all my might, but unfortunately the wooden door did not budge and remained firmly in place like a gatekeeper.
“What, kid? Are you there? Kid?!”
I repeatedly called for the child inside, but couldn’t hear anything. Immediately I was trapped, and a number of the worst possible assumptions passed through my mind.
‘Could it be that I’ve been kidnapped?’
No matter how you look at it, the picture was like that. It’s hard to see the inside, but it feels stuffy and humid. Since there didn’t seem to be a door leading anywhere else, I couldn’t think of anything else other than that I had been kidnapped.
As time passed, my fear grew stronger, and my breathing became more difficult. As my anxiety symptoms got worse, I kept pulling on the door to somehow escape, but doing something with my weak body was easier said than done.
‘Ah… If I had known it would be like this, I would have just gone…’
This useless nonsense eventually led to an accident. If I had been more careful from the beginning, it wouldn’t have ended up like this… No, even if I hadn’t entered that ominous alley in the first place, this division wouldn’t have emerged.
I was completely lost and devastated. Now, rather than wondering whether I can return to church on time, I have to seriously worry about whether I can return alive.
“Ha…”
I was deceived… That damn little bastard… He said he lost his dad, so I approached him with good intentions and helped him, but I had no idea he would hit me like this.
“But really, what should I do?”
Pupils that gradually become dark-adapted and dilate over time. As I walked away from the door and looked around, I began to see things that I had not seen until just now.
A mountain of wooden barrels and a small vent above them. Unfortunately, they seemed to have completed their calculations by this point and were blocked by an iron bar to prevent them from escaping.
Is there nothing I can escape to? I opened the barrel lid and looked inside. All there is old cheese and mice crawling around in it. When I opened the lid, it jumped out quickly and escaped through the vent.
‘Fuck… But I won’t starve to death…’
There was enough food to the point where it was overflowing. I don’t know if the expiration date has passed, but I heard that it means to just breathe and stay alive, but don’t die one way or another.
“I guess I should try it once.”
Rather than being sold as a slave, it was better to struggle to make ends meet. I climbed up the piled barrels on Mt. Cheopcheopsan and reached the front of the ventilation shaft, and grabbed the iron bars that were in the way with both hands and pulled with all my might.
“Keuuuuu… Please get out of here… “Hmm!”
I pulled on it while its face turned red, but it didn’t budge. Just like that, my strength gradually weakened, and my hands, which were very tense and covered in sweat, suddenly slipped and fell to the floor.
Kwajik-Kwagwang-
“Kwaaah…”
It doesn’t make sense. Is it possible for bad luck to overlap like this? Needless to say, it was a miserable situation.
At the very least, I wanted to see her face. This was at the level of a premeditated crime, and considering that they were even thinking of kidnapping me, a pastor, and not just anyone else, I couldn’t help but wonder if they were really afraid of the Holy Spirit Church.
[You got it right, right?]
[Yes, I am sure this time. He was wearing a priest’s uniform.]
[Just make a mistake again. At that time, I will tear your bitch apart like dog food.]
[…
Huh?
A shout of popularity heard through the door. At that moment, I jumped up with goosebumps all over my body. I stumbled and ran to the door to see who it was, and there was a gap in the door… I looked out through a very small hole.
And as I was about to scream for help, I had no choice but to immediately shut my mouth after hearing what they were saying.
[That fucking guy sucks, right?]
[That’s right. If you don’t believe me, check it out for yourself.]
[Ha… I wanted to eat it so fucking much, but I finally tried it.]
[But is it okay to do this? I got caught for no reason…]
[What’s the problem? Anyway, you only live once, so have fun…]
Driving me crazy…
I was speechless. The hole was so small that I couldn’t even see who it was. As the sound of footsteps got closer, I hid behind a barrel as if running away.
‘We’re in real trouble…’
I gritted my teeth and grabbed the wooden beam around my neck as if it was going to burst.
‘Please God…’ . Look after the poor lamb… Please help me escape this hellish ordeal.’
Today is a day that makes me want to find God more. I don’t know if it’s all just superstition, but the Holy God Amanes was real. I firmly believed that if my sincerity reached me, he would definitely help me.
Bang-
“Black!”
The door flings open as if it is about to burst, and people come in one by one. Not one, but five shadows were blocking the entrance.
“Aha… Where has our priest gone? “Please don’t hide and show your face.”
A woman looking for me, giggling in a sly tone. It felt like the hairs on her whole body were standing on end.
‘Crazy…’
This was the only thing that immediately came to mind during this rather shocking scene. I was trembling and looked at them with my face slightly exposed so as not to be noticed.
Since the light was coming from behind them, their faces were in shadow, and it was hard to see, but judging from the fact that they had a greatsword strapped to their backs, it was clear that they were adventurers from some guild.
‘Fuck it, but isn’t it too much for five people to come to catch one man?’
I should be able to subdue it alone… No, there was nothing more to say in the first place, seeing as they called a child and made him do something like this.
Even though she’s human, she’s still a piece of trash. If you escape from here, I will stab you in the church and make you disappear into the dew of execution.
“Come out quickly. Because I don’t want to work hard.”
“…”
The woman who takes the lead pulls out a double-edged ax behind her back. Clearly threatening behavior. I slowly stepped forward, clenching my hands tightly.
“Key… “It’s been a while, priest.”
Long time? I wonder what’s going on, so I raise my head with my shoulders slumped. Soon, when I saw her face directly, my eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.
‘No, green tea hair?’
The green tea-haired girl who sexually harassed me at the adventurer’s guild the other day. I thought I never saw you again… I never thought we would get involved in this way.
“What are you doing… !”
Maybe it was because I was nervous, but I couldn’t speak properly. Seeing that it wasn’t just one person, but many people, my heart started pounding like it was going to burst.
“Are you not afraid of divine punishment? How could you do something like this… ! “If you let me go now, I will not report this matter to the church.”
“Haha… Yes? What did the priest say just now? Hey… Did you just hear that? Please let us go… !”
What’s so funny? I was so serious right now that I was dying, but the guys were giggling as if their every reaction was amusing.
And then the green tea head slightly bends its knees and makes eye contact. He raised the corner of his mouth with a grin and spat out words that felt like a death sentence.
“Ha… Priest, do you know how long I have endured? It was hard to hold back from wanting to fuck so much.”
“…”
“To be honest, it’s a sin to wander around with that vulgar body. And I’m asking you this: don’t even think about going back to the church anymore. Anyway, I will never have to go there again.”
“…”
“Did you understand that correctly? Priest?”
“Huh… !”
As she kept avoiding her gaze out of fear, the green-haired girl eventually grabbed her chin and forced herself to meet her gaze. When she saw the crazy look in her eyes, her grip on the wooden pole tightened even more.
Now, please, I don’t care if it’s Bishop Lisa. I didn’t think I would have any wish for someone to come and help me.
