Chapter 65 – 065. Vampire Detective
065. Vampire Detective
The vampire hunters nearby reacted swiftly. They aimed their guns at the suddenly appearing Red Light and pulled the triggers without a moment’s hesitation.
They were prepared to sacrifice themselves and their comrades to kill Red Light.
‘Still, it’s too late.’
They were already within Red Light’s range. Just before the bullets rained down on him, Red Light pulled the knife from Shin Daejun’s neck, lowered his upper body, and moved. There was no way ordinary humans could keep up with his movements using the acceleration skill.
The red blade danced. It sliced through the enemies without a moment’s hesitation.
Even wearing anti-blade armor was useless. The sharpness of the blade and Red Light’s superhuman strength could not be stopped by mere anti-blade armor.
When the red clown’s dance was over, the area around the clown was filled with corpses and blood.
Red Light swung his knife in the air. The blood on the knife splattered to the ground.
‘First, 12 people. If there are up to 6 teams, I can kill about 70 people.’
That would be a devastating loss for the Korean Black Cross Society. They wouldn’t be able to operate properly for at least a year.
•••
“……”
Ki Hanjun, a vampire hunter and the combat commander of the Korean Black Cross Society, was silent.
Ten minutes.
In just ten minutes, the vampire hunters had suffered near-total annihilation.
Six teams, 72 people, were deployed on the passenger ship, and now only six vampire hunters were left alive, including himself.
Three hunters, including Ki Hanjun, who remained to give orders, and three hunters who survived on the passenger ship.
It was a terrible defeat for the vampire hunters.
‘We misjudged from the start.’
Red Light was on a different level.
He was stronger than any True Ancestor vampire they had ever faced. He had tricky abilities and used them to his advantage, making him difficult to deal with.
Red Light’s ability to manipulate machines was an absurdly overpowered superpower in this day and age.
‘…He’s a mutant among the True Ancestors. He can even turn invisible.’
Through the testimony of the surviving vampire hunters, they learned that his body could turn transparent. Red Light had two superpowers.
A True Ancestor with two superpowers. It was a terrifying thing that had never existed before.
‘…Maybe the Red Light we’re facing now is a different person from the one we faced before.’
It was a theory that had been brought up before.
That Red Light might not be one person but many. The fact that he covered his face with a clown mask was the basis for that speculation. Ki Hanjun wanted to believe that theory.
‘Whatever the case… we’re already finished.’
He closed his eyes tightly.
Sixty-nine people were dead.
The excuse that Red Light was stronger than they thought wouldn’t work. They died because he was foolish and gave incompetent orders.
Ki Hanjun couldn’t imagine living in the future when he thought of them. Most of them were his students, whom he had taught.
‘I’ll go myself. At the very least, I’ll take one of Red Light’s arms.’
He knew there was no chance. But he couldn’t back down here. If he did, he felt like he would really put a gun to his head and pull the trigger.
‘I’d rather die fighting Red Light.’
But Ki Hanjun couldn’t move.
It was because Red Light’s voice came through his radio.
〉 Good evening, Special Forces Commander.
•••
The atmosphere at the Black Cross Society headquarters was the worst.
They were receiving real-time information from the field. And they had just heard the tragic news that 69 vampire hunters had been killed in action.
It was a clear defeat for the vampire hunters.
‘Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Thank goodness!!’
Choi Sunmi, sitting at her desk in the Korean Black Cross Society headquarters office, covered her mouth with both hands. On the surface, she looked like a beautiful woman who was speechless and shocked by the horrific reality, but in truth, she was trying to stop the laughter that was about to leak out.
‘Ah! Yujin-nim…!’
Choi Sunmi rubbed her thighs as she thought of Yujin. Under her skirt, hidden by the desk, pantyhose covered her lower body. She wasn’t wearing panties. Since losing her virginity for the first time due to Yujin’s orders, she had always been living without panties.
Her pussy twitched. Her pussy, releasing heat and moisture, was eagerly waiting for its master to enter. She wanted to feel the pleasure of sex right now.
Her hand slowly moved under the desk.
“Team Leader!”
Choi Sunmi stopped. She looked at the male employee who had called her and replied.
“…What is it?”
“The director has requested help from the military!”
“…Excuse me?”
“It seems they plan to sink the passenger ship entirely with the help of the military!”
“Oh, is that so? Have we received any specific instructions?”
“No, not yet. Actually, I heard this information from a friend in another support department…”
“Just wait at your desk for now. There’s nothing we can do right now.”
“…Yes.”
The male employee went back. He seemed a little disappointed.
Choi Sunmi knew that he had feelings for her. Of course, she didn’t give him a second glance. He was smart, but his family was ordinary. Besides, her body and mind were now dominated by Sung Yujin.
‘I need to contact Yujin-nim quickly…!’
She sent a text message without anyone noticing.
And she received a reply.
Sung Yujin – Is that so? I see.
Sung Yujin – More importantly, you’re sitting at your desk in the office right now, right? Take a masturbation video and send it to me.
Sung Yujin – Pen masturbation, go go. You have to get some cum to be acknowledged.
Sung Yujin was the same as always. As if what was happening was someone else’s problem.
Choi Sunmi let out a sigh of relief without realizing it.
‘Well, Yujin-nim wouldn’t be flustered by something like this.’
Choi Sunmi took a suitable pen from the pen holder. It was a three-color ballpoint pen, so it was a bit thick.
‘Yujin-nim…. Haaah.’
•••
I went up to the captain’s cabin and tied the captain and the crew with ropes, making them kneel in a row against one wall. When they didn’t listen because they believed in their numbers, I just killed one as an example. The fierce sea dogs became docile puppies in front of a gun.
Woo-oong.
My smartphone vibrated. When I checked, it was a message from Choi Sunmi.
‘They’re moving the military to sink the ship? Hmm… Is that even possible? Are they going to fire a missile or something? Or are they going to mobilize the navy?’
Honestly, it was very suspicious.
‘But I guess there’s a possibility.’
The vampire hunters had suffered near-total annihilation. The head of the Black Cross Society headquarters must be furious to the point of losing his mind.
This was a world in a drama where bomb attacks also happened. The possibility of sinking a passenger ship couldn’t be ruled out entirely.
‘And the government knows my danger too.’
If I went on a rampage, it would be a nightmare for the government. It might be better for the future to just get rid of Red Light along with the passenger ship. That’s what they might think.
‘I have the gill breathing skill. I can just jump into the sea.’
I could just dive underwater and move around. If necessary, I could buy an oxygen tank in the real world and bring it here. With a spare Illusiter, escaping from the passenger ship would be a piece of cake.
‘But that would be too boring.’
I took out a drone from my inventory. Both were items I had brought from the Code: XTK world.
I launched the drone into the air. The drone’s wings were turning, but strangely, there was no sound. There was a camera on the drone, and it was automatically filming me.
I operated my smartphone and entered a certain website. It was an internet broadcasting site with over a million concurrent viewers. The site’s name was LX Play.
[Hacking successful.]
[You can hack LX Play for 21 minutes.]
I started broadcasting. The broadcast’s name was ‘Red Light’s Happy Halloween!’ which I made up on the spot.
‘This isn’t enough.’
I made all the individual broadcasts on LX Play relay my broadcast. It was forced viewing. My broadcast would also appear on the main page of the site.
While the hacking was in progress, I could see the contents of the chat even without checking the chat window on my smartphone. The chat window was in my field of vision. Of course, I could control it as I wanted.
The chat was naturally in chaos.
-??
-?
-???
-What is this?
-Hey! Streamer! There’s a broadcast accident!
-Why is there a person cosplaying as Red Light?
-Suddenly, all the other broadcasts are like this too. LX seems to be hacked lol
-Red Light’s Happy Halloween? Is that really Red Light?!
-Who else but the real Red Light would hack LX!
-It’s real!
-Is it really Red Light?!
-It’s Red Light!
-Red Light-nim!
-Red Ha!
All sorts of chats were coming up.
Those who were cursing me were in the minority. Most people thought of me as a dark hero with superpowers. The fact that I had saved the people who were trapped in the container earlier had a positive impact on people.
I picked up the radio. I had taken it from a vampire hunter I killed. Originally, it was for the purpose of eavesdropping on radio communications.
[Hacking successful.]
[You can hack the radio for 17 minutes.]
“Good evening, Special Forces Commander.”
〉……Red Light?
〉…Are you trying to mock us?
“I do have some intention of that. But that’s not the main point. I found out something amazing through hacking. I heard your headquarters is going to forcibly sink the passenger ship with me?”
〉Sink it? That’s ridiculous…!
〉Wait, how did you know that?! Did you hack the director’s phone?!
〉Don’t tell me you knew everything!
“Let’s cut the crap. Tell your director. The passenger ship is going back to Incheon Port. It should arrive in about 10 minutes. I don’t believe the passenger ship will sink either. It’s impossible logically. Even if the military is dispatched, it will take at least tens of minutes to get here. Your boss must have just lost it and said some nonsense.”
I glanced at the chat window.
-What are you talking about?
-Who are you talking to on the radio?
-That seems to be a radio used by the police.
-Sink the passenger ship?
-??
-What’s going on?
“I understand. People can make mistakes sometimes. But it’s a bit annoying, you know? I wonder if I did something that wrong.”
〉Red Light. You’re too dangerous.
〉The order and peace of Seoul are being shaken.
〉If we can kill you at the cost of sinking a passenger ship… it’s worth it even if we sink the passenger ship.
〉Seoul will become a vampire city because of you.
“Ah. Right. I’m broadcasting right now. It’s the age of one-person broadcasts these days, right? I thought I’d give it a try.”
〉……What?
“Wow. I didn’t know the police were thinking like that. Sinking the passenger ship with me… But do you know about the people on board?”
〉…….
It was silence. It was the right choice. In this situation, it was better to remain silent than to say anything.
There’s a saying, isn’t there?
‘Silence is golden! Keuk keuk.’
Silence is golden.
I smiled at the camera floating in the air. Even if that guy didn’t want to deal with me, there were many people who would.
Through my hacking ability, I could see the video being broadcast. The video showed a blood-soaked clown smiling. It was a rather bizarre scene.
“Hello, everyone! I’m late with my greetings! I’m Red Light!”
-It’s real. The real one has appeared!
-What the heck is going on?
-Red Light-nim, please explain.
“Today. I annihilated a Chinese human trafficking criminal organization. I slaughtered the guys who were trying to capture our Koreans, sell their organs, and make them sex slaves.”
The chat window stopped for a moment. But soon, chats started coming up again.
-WTF.
-Human trafficking? They deserved to die.
-…….
-Really?
-Those dumbass Chinese bastards got what they deserved.
“The police didn’t know anything about the human trafficking ring. Honestly, I was very disappointed. But I couldn’t leave the police out of such an important matter. So I deliberately went on a rampage from Hongdae to here to bring the police. It was quite thrilling.”
-Red Light-nim. You’re a superpowered person, right?
-Show us your superpowers. I heard you can take things out of thin air.
-Spatial ability!!
“It’s not a superpower, it’s just a trick. Like magic. Like taking things out of my smartphone like this.”
I took out a revolver from my inventory.
“How is it? Pretty amazing, right?”
-…No matter how I look at it, it’s not magic?
-A superpower pretending to be magic, lol.
-Is that a real gun?
I slowly walked towards the captain, who was tied to the wall.
“The police didn’t know anything about the human trafficking ring. They didn’t know even though almost 50 people had gone missing. You’re going to sink the passenger ship with me? But do you know? There are 20 children on the passenger ship. Children who were kidnapped by the human trafficking ring. Are you going to kill those children with me too?”
I lied a little.
In the first place, it was the head of the Black Cross Society who made the slip of the tongue, not the police.
“It must have been a slip of the tongue. I’ll believe that. But please do your jobs properly. If it wasn’t for me, the human trafficking ring would have succeeded. If you had done your jobs well, I wouldn’t have had to move like this.”
I turned the camera to the captain. The old captain lowered his face and tried to avoid the camera. The crew members around him were the same.
“This captain cooperated with the Chinese human trafficking ring. I want to ask you, Captain. How much did you get?”
“…….”
The captain didn’t answer. I kicked his face.
“……Ugh. ……Please save me.”
“How much did you get? I’ll save you if you answer properly.”
“……800 million.”
“Ah. I see. 800 million.”
I turned the drone camera to the ceiling.
Bang!
The revolver spat fire, and red blood splattered all the way to the ceiling.
“Oops, my mistake! My finger just slipped. Well, nothing can be done about it.”
I approached the drone camera. My face would fill the screen.
The chat window was silent. The viewers were frozen by what I had done. Occasionally, chats cursing me came up.
“That’s it for the broadcast. Korean citizens. This Red Light has dealt with the evil human trafficking ring, so please enjoy Halloween with peace of mind! Happy Halloween!”
After ending the broadcast, I looked at the crew members.
A total of 12 crew members.
Among them, there would be crew members who had taken money with the captain. If I let these guys live, would the police be able to find the criminals?
I thought about it and decided to kill them all.
‘The guilty will go to hell, and the innocent will go to heaven, I guess.’
Gunshots rang out.
For the record, I was non-religious.
