Chapter 2217 – 2217. Gyeongseong 2033
The Hahoe mask the little girl threw was heavy. The surface was made of metal, not wood, and it was over 3cm thick. It was difficult to wear unless you were a reinforced human adapted to Jinka 66.
“Do I really have to wear a mask? It feels like it’ll be stuffy.”
At my words, the little girl snickered.
“You idiot. If your face gets out, you won’t be able to live a normal life. They’ll put a bounty on your head for hundreds of millions right away. Are you going to give up your normal life because a mask is heavy?”
“If your identity is revealed, it’ll be harder to do infiltration missions.”
Widow added, as if to agree.
“That mask also has a gas mask function, so just wear it. Just because you’re a reinforced human doesn’t mean you’re immune to poison gas.”
“I don’t like the design.”
“Ha. A newbie is picky about the design? This newbie is pretty brazen.”
“Are there no other masks?”
As far as I knew, there were several masks. Right now, I-cup female character, Widow, was wearing a spider mask with multiple eyes on a black background, and that little girl was wearing a blank mask with no decorations. If I were to wear a mask, a clown mask would be comfortable for me. Because I’m used to it.
“There aren’t any other masks right now. Or do you want to borrow my mask?”
Widow asked, shaking her spider mask.
“No, thanks. I’ll just wear this.”
Even if I wear a mask I’m not used to, the fact that I’m Red Light doesn’t change. Come to think of it, the original protagonist also used this Hahoe mask. In a way, it was a meaningful object.
I put on the mask. It was a cold mask because it was metal. It was a bit stuffy, but bearable.
“Ooh. It suits you pretty well?”
“Yeah, it kinda has a vibe.”
Two people praised me. I shrugged my shoulders. Does it really suit me well?
“Newbie, your alias is Hunting Dog. Got it?”
“Hunting Dog when I’m wearing a Hahoe mask? I don’t like it. Just call me Red Light.”
“Red Light, my ass. The higher-ups named you Hunting Dog. You’re collared, so you’re a hunting dog. It’s the most fitting name for you.”
“You’re a bitch, so is your name Bitch?”
“Ha, look at this little punk? I’ve been active for five years longer than you, you little shit. The bounty on my head is 900 million yen. You know that?”
The little girl grabbed a submachine gun and waved it threateningly. I watched quietly. This little girl. Despite her appearance as a middle schooler, she’s actually a 25-year-old adult woman.
“Sensor.”
Widow called the little girl’s alias. The little girl clicked her tongue and lowered the submachine gun.
“Sorry. Sensor’s been very sensitive since the previous team member died.”
“Sensitive my ass. This guy’s just a nobody, right? Yu Malseon said that this guy was the heir to an independence activist family? Just the kind of guys who only talk about independence.”
“Sensor. You know how hard it is to even just talk about independence. We work in the shadows, and they work in the light. The ultimate goal is the same. I can’t forgive you for insulting independence activists, even if it’s you.”
“Ah, yeah. My bad.”
Sensor turned her head away. Widow smiled wryly.
It looks like Widow is acting like a kind older sister, but… I know through the original work that Widow is the crazier one.
Widow. It doesn’t mean a widow, but a black widow spider. Would the upper echelons of the Righteous Army have given her the name Widow for no reason? She’s called that because she’s as vicious as a black widow spider. Her bounty is also 3 billion yen, more than three times that of Sensor.
“We don’t have high expectations for you. The survival rate of a newbie’s first mission isn’t even 50%. The mission success rate is even lower. And this is just a mission to take out a mob boss.”
“Did the previous team member also die on a mission to take out a mob boss?”
“……No. He died fighting the special forces of the Japanese Empire. The previous team member hesitated on his first mission and died. If I were to give you some advice, never hesitate. Even if you’re a reinforced human, you’ll die if you get shot in the heart or head.”
Widow said seriously. I had to focus my eyes. Otherwise, my eyes would go down and I’d get caught looking at her I-cup breasts.
“If you can’t do it, just say you can’t. You’ll go back to the training grounds and train again… but it’s better than dying.”
“The mission itself seems easy.”
“That previous newbie also went out like a firecracker after acting cocky.”
Sensor sneered. I considered punching her in the head.
‘She’s also part of the protagonist’s group, so she’s pretty good-looking… Should I take her after Widow?’
For reference, Sensor also gets betrayed and dies around the middle of the original work.
The car that was running stopped. We had arrived at our destination. I slightly opened the curtain to check outside. It was a secluded spot, even though it was Jongno, so there weren’t many people passing by.
As I was about to open the door and go outside, Widow stopped me with her hand.
“Wait a minute. Even if this is your first mission, we’re not just going to send you out alone without a plan. Sensor.”
Sensor closed her eyes tightly and then opened them. She held a pen in one hand and drew quickly on a white piece of paper. In less than 30 seconds, a building was drawn. Even the people inside the building.
This is Sensor’s ability. Sensor can sense 50m in all directions around her.
“I’ll only tell you once, so listen carefully, newbie. It’s a three-story building with only one entrance. There are three guards at the entrance on the first floor, and five people are waiting in another room. Eight people on the second floor. Eleven people on the third floor. A total of 29 people. The boss is in the office on the third floor. Your mission is to kill this boss and get out. If you kill the boss, the rest will disappear on their own. They’re just nobodies.”
“Okay. Can I start now?”
“I’m not done yet. …Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have to take a dump?”
“Do I really need a grand briefing to kill one mob boss?”
“Ugh, this newbie… If he was just an ordinary mob boss, would we have been given this mission? The boss of the Gu-il gang, Go Gu-il, is a lackey of the Japanese Empire’s cabinet. He’s also involved with the Yakuza. His job is to send the money he makes from distributing drugs to the Japanese Empire. He’s probably a reinforced human who’s been injected with Jinka 66.”
“……”
Sensor’s words didn’t register well in my ears. I was busy stealing glances at her I-cup breasts. I wish this briefing or whatever would just end.
“The bathroom window on the third floor. The security is lax around here, so go in through there. You’ve been trained, so you can easily climb up to the third floor, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Make sure you wear the mask. It also has camera, microphone, and speaker functions.”
It was heavy, so it wasn’t just a gas mask function.
Widow, who had been blocking me, moved to the side. Just a little movement and her breasts jiggled.
‘This slut. She’s telling me to take her with her whole body.’
I smacked my lips and went out of the car. I looked around. A three-story building. I approached the building that gave off a dangerous vibe.
People passing by glanced at me. Wearing a metal Hahoe mask and a black bulletproof vest, I couldn’t help but stand out.
“Is that a real sword?”
“No, it looks like cosplay?”
“He’s got a gun on his thigh too. What character is he?”
-An assassin is walking around in the open? Didn’t you learn how to hide your body?!
Sensor’s voice rang out from the mask communicator. I completely ignored it. Look. Even if I walk around in the open with weapons, people don’t report me, but look at me with curiosity. They’re taking pictures of me with their smartphone cameras… but it doesn’t matter since I’m wearing a mask.
‘This is Korea, but all the words I hear around me are Japanese. Hmm. It’s Gyeongseong, so I guess it’s natural.’
-I told you to sneak into the third-floor bathroom. What are you doing now?!
“I’m not a rat.”
-What?
I walked proudly towards the front of the building.
Three gatekeepers blocked my path.
“A mask? This guy…”
Bang, bang, bang.
I shot three bullets into the heads of the three men. The inside and outside of the building became noisy.
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
“Terrorist!!”
I ignored them and went inside. It would take at least 5 minutes for the police who received the report to arrive here. Even if they did arrive, the level of a single police station wouldn’t be able to stop me.
The enemies who heard the gunshots came running out.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
I shot each of them in the head. So far, my accuracy was 100%. The combat talent I received as an advantage was comparable to that of the original protagonist.
The enemies were also armed with pistols, but their posture and reactions were clumsy. And before they could aim their guns at me, I aimed at them first and pulled the trigger.
I killed as I went forward. At the entrance to the third floor, a boy blocked my way.
“Yaaaaaaaah!!”
The boy held a sword in both hands and charged at me. Behind the boy, the mobsters took their positions and aimed their guns at me.
In the original work, the protagonist hesitates at the appearance of this boy, reminded of his younger brother, and gets injured. Because of that injury, he misses the boss of the Gu-il gang and ends up in a chase. I had no intention of doing a troublesome chase.
Bang.
The fired bullet pierced the boy’s thigh.
“Aaaaaaah!”
I took the sword from the fallen boy’s hand and stabbed it into his stomach, then grabbed him by the neck and held him in front of me.
“That mask! It’s a terrorist from the Righteous Army!”
“Kill him!!”
I calmly pulled the trigger, using the boy as a shield to block the mobsters’ bullets. Soon, the surroundings became quiet.
-Isn’t this guy a crazy bastard?!
I ignored Sensor’s shocked words.
I looked around to see if there were any guys pretending to be dead, and then the shield boy coughed and vomited blood. His body was tattered, but he was still alive.
“You’ll die soon… but seeing that you’re still alive, it seems like you’ve also been injected with Jinka 66.”
I threw the groaning shield boy towards the office door. The boy went through the door and into the office.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!
He was riddled with bullets by the mobsters who were waiting with bated breath. I calmly pulled the trigger and killed the enemies.
The last one left was one enemy. Go Gu-il, the boss of the Gu-il gang, sitting in an office chair.
“Looking at that mask, you seem to be from the Righteous Army… You’re a new face. Are you a newbie from the Righteous Army?”
Is it just my imagination? It seems like everyone knows who I am.
I was too lazy to answer, so I aimed my gun and pulled the trigger.
Go Gu-il’s body moved to the side in an instant. A speed of movement that a normal human could never show.
I wasn’t surprised at all. I knew through the original work that Go Gu-il was a reinforced human. And that his ability was the same acceleration ability as the protagonist.
