Chapter 124 – Chapter 124 Breaking Hearts-11
Blue Seal’s barracks.
Underground arrived with Ashira.
Uben was waiting at the barracks entrance.
The basement came up and asked.
“How is the situation?”
“Carmine is hiding in the annex and causing a commotion.”
“How is the damage?”
“Commons are not nearby, so no one is hurt. But…”
Uben glanced at Asira as she slurred.
Jiha nodded, and Uben spoke in more detail.
“The super rare Mayan who was watching Carmine was taken hostage.”
“Have you been subdued?”
“I don’t know the details. Carmine is threatening to kill her if she approaches her building.”
“Is it a hostage situation?”
Ashira held her sword on her back with her hard face.
“… I will handle it.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Even when Jiha said so bluntly, Ashira did not back down.
“I am responsible for this situation. Because I was away, this commotion…”
“As for the cause, it was wrong to let him live in the first place. And the situation is like this, is it time to argue right and wrong?”
Asira shook her head.
“I am the only one who can convince Carmine.”
“… The requirement is to bring Ashira Hellsrunner.”
Jiha laughed at Uben’s report.
“Have you ever seen a negotiator who fulfills the requirements?”
“But there are no hostages. If Mayan were ever hurt, I would have no face with Enlil…”
“Will it end with getting hurt? Mayan is a woman?”
“…”
Ashira’s face hardened.
It was a complex expression of doubts about whether he would go that far, and an intuition that he could.
“You, don’t you know exactly what crime Carmine committed? She said he also raped and killed countless civilian women he had nothing to do with. There is a high possibility that Mayan has already suffered something terrible.”
Even as he flirted, the basement was calmly grasping it.
‘It was unexpected to me that Mayan, who is of the same class, was easily taken hostage… Chances are high that you haven’t been through anything bad. Carmine wasn’t the type to commit crimes recklessly and impulsively, he was the type to search and use drugs.’
It was very likely that Mayan was indeed being held hostage.
She may be wounded, but her chastity will not be in danger.
But all of this happened because Carmine was kept alive.
Aware of her responsibility, Ashira became a troubled face.
“… Then what should I do? How can I resolve the situation now?”
“…”
She looked up at the sky, deep in thought.
“First, control the rumors. All of the commoners thoroughly blocked what was happening in the barracks from now on so that it would not flow outside. Don’t let anyone go out, don’t let anyone come in. There is no need to inform Enlil or Yura, who are out now.”
Jiha gave instructions and added to Uben.
“If they come back and intervene, let Li Jin deal with them.”
If it was Rijin, she would take care of it and catch her with her words.
“All right. I will prepare.”
Uben answered.
I checked the basement and looked around.
“As you know, you haven’t reported to Cheonho about Carmine yet, have you?”
“… After the report of being circumstantial, she was writing a new report. It was due to be uploaded soon.”
Underground nodded.
“Carmine will risk Mayan’s life to get her promise from you. Bury all her crimes she has ever committed in darkness.”
“What nonsense…”
Uben, who had heard it, had a face filled with indignation.
Underground also agreed.
“It is nonsense. But if Ashira promises, she will keep it. Yes?”
“…”
Ashira couldn’t answer and bit her lower lip.
“Carmine knows Ashira’s personality, her personality and is trying to push. She knows that if Ashira makes a promise, she can’t break it.”
“… I see what you mean.”
Ashira let out a painful voice.
She didn’t even know that the henchman she trusted and relied on was an unscrupulous scoundrel, so now he’s taking her hostage and trying to take advantage of her upright temper.
No matter how personable she was, it was difficult to hold on to her.
Asira looked down at her basement and said.
“Can I convince you one last time? If persuasion doesn’t work… I will take responsibility and cut Carmine.”
“Can you?”
“If Mayan gets hurt, I have no face with Enlil. No, she already has no face to see…”
Her own minions are holding her other Unique’s minions hostage and holding a sit-in.
Asira seemed to be filled with pity for Enlil, who was not present.
‘I’m determined to cut Carmine. But…’
Don’t let her self-perfection come to me.
Because he has to collect this Demon Unique.
“Me and Ashira enter. Uben, have Syrel stand by near the building and treat any injured as soon as they come out. And know Promise you’ll follow my instructions when you get in.”
“Should I?”
Ashira had a puzzled face.
Although she hits her basement very high, Ashira has also been through her battles.
On the battlefield, she is accustomed to giving orders to others, but on the contrary, she has never been instructed.
“Have you ever dealt with a hostage taker? This isn’t something that just happens when you cut it blindly.”
“… Okay, if you have experience, I will follow your directions.”
She, of course, had never dealt with a hostage-taker during her time in the underpass district.
But Carmine’s psychology was clearly visible.
‘You chose to take a hostage instead of running away when you gave me the information that there was no unique. It’s easier.’
And how to break it.
“Finally check again. I might go in and try to figure it out myself. But if you participate, you must follow my instructions and actions unconditionally. Rejection puts everything at risk. Can you really do it?”
“… Be prepared.”
As Jiha asked repeatedly, Ashira answered firmly.
“Okay, everybody move.”
Uven nodded at the instructions from the underground and gave instructions to the other commons.
Jiha looked back at Ashira, who had a determined face.
“We are going too.”
“… Okay.”
Asira and Jiha approached the annex alone.
The room where Carmine is said to be locked up is covered with a curtain.
Jiha gave Ashira instructions, and she followed them.
“Carmine! I am here!”
“…”
“I’m going in! However, as requested, you are not alone! The two of you go in!”
The window opened slightly, and angry shouts were heard from inside.
“Come in alone!”
Jiha used hearing amplification to figure out the situation.
‘I open the window and answer, but I can’t see you. They say they’re worried about situations like sniping… Accident, but her head is spinning.’
As Asira looked on, her subterranean voice raised her voice instead.
“The other is me, Carmine! We have a lot to say!”
“… You son of a bitch!!”
A boiling roar flowed from within.
As for Carmine, she lost everything and became a prisoner because she was helping herself.
But he complained that all the causes were underground.
“I tell you, Ashira will never go in alone! If we go in, it’s just the two of us!”
“Then kill the hostages!”
“Sure! Then you die to Enlil!”
Ashira looked at her with a surprised face, but she ignored Jiha.
‘I really can’t help it even if Mayan dies. It won’t work if you start being dragged away by the hostage taker’s demands.’
We do not negotiate with terrorists. This is a basic premise.
Ashira was a face with a lot to say, but she kept her silence under the gaze of the underground.
After a while, Carmine shouted outside.
“Good. But neither of you bring weapons! The moment you bring it, the hostage has no life!”
“… It should be.”
Ashira put down the greatsword and glanced towards the basement.
She placed the sword she had hidden in her back in the underpass on top of Ashira’s sword.
“Weapon unleashed! Go in now!”
There was no answer, but the basement went ahead.
As they followed, Ashira spoke quietly.
“Don’t worry. If anything, I’ll fix it…”
“…”
Would Carmine not know that?
Killing people with your bare fists is no big deal if you’re unique.
Even if the claws of a beast are pulled out, the teeth remain.
‘Carmine is calmer than expected.’
Although he jumped into the trap laid by the underground, Carmine must have calculated in various ways.
With that in mind, Jiha headed to the room where Carmine was locked up.
She arrived at the front of the room.
The stopped basement stopped Ashira with a glance at her as she tried to grab her doorknob.
“Go in now.”
The cellar said to her inside and immediately kicked the door open and smashed it to pieces.
If you reinforce her legs with magic, you’ll break down the door.
When the door flew off, the situation inside was revealed.
“…”
Mayan, her limbs bound, was tied to the leg of her bed, and Carmine sat down on her chair beside her, pointing her sword at Mayan’s throat.
It was the dagger that Mayan had taken out.
“You’re so damned.”
At the flat of the underground, Carmine glared with her burning eyes.
He was a handsome handsome man, but half of her face and one arm were completely burned and in an unsightly condition.
“Why don’t you get some treatment? Although it has already been crushed, her old form will be hard to find.”
“This son of a bitch… If you keep making fun of your mouth…”
As Carmine pressed her sword, she began to ooze her blood from Mayan’s neck.
“…”
Mayan was biting her lip tightly and trying to keep her from screaming.
She had a face that was very ashamed of being a hostage.
Jiha laughed and asked Mayan.
“How the hell did that happen?”
“… Don’t ignore me.”
As Carmine’s sword dug deeper, blood flowed down Mayan’s neck.
A little more digging will sever her arteries.
Ashira couldn’t stand it and shouted.
“Carmine! Stop!”
Carmine smiled at Ashira.
“You know, you know how to make a face like that.”
“…”
“I never thought you, who was always confident and relaxed, would have such a firm face. It’s to the point where I want to draw a picture and keep it.”
As Carmine laughed leisurely, Ashira spoke as if begging.
“… I came as requested So release the hostages.”
“No, no. Are you going to kill me then?”
At Carmine’s reply, her basement fired.
“What are the specific requirements? Do you think we can have a happy ending of love and peace after a hostage operation like this?”
“I’ve been thinking about it all along. All the way…”
Carmine glared at her basement with her venomous eyes.
She was a shady, resentful pupil.
“All of this happened because of you. If it wasn’t for you, there would be no problem.”
“It’s so easy to live in the world if you blame others for your stupidity.”
Carmine vented her anger as her basement laughed.
“It’s over with the mouthing! Common. You must die here.”
“You want to play again?”
Carmine shook her head.
“No, not me. You know, kill that bastard.”
“…”
Ashira hardened.
Carmine smirked and laughed.
“If you try to kill me now, this prisoner will die. And what if it kills me? Two super rare tier die. But if you kill one common, I’ll free the hostage. Promise.”
“…”
“Two against one, two super rare, one common. No idea which one is better?”
Carmine mocked, looking down at her basement.
“Come on, Common. Are you going to beg for help now?”
The basement sighed.
“I thought I used my head a little this time. Is it the mathematical logic of a miracle that I thought at best?”
At her underground words, Carmine straightened up and put strength into her hand that held her sword.
“If you act nonsense, the hostage will die.”
Carmine urged Ashira.
“Come on, know. If you just kill that common and leave the previous one in disrepute, all your problems will be gone. We can go back to our old relationship.”
“…”
“Who the hell is happy to put me on trial and tell the truth? I will die and you will only fall, and the gossips will attack you for your place. So what changes? It just makes Wordsland more confused!”
Carmine exclaimed.
“Punishing me will make anything better!”
“Is that what a hostage-taking bastard would say?”
Jiha laughed and bowed her back.
Carmine was taken aback by the sudden action, but Jiha made her hand motion that it was no big deal and then pulled up the hem of her pants.
The dagger he had tied to his calf was one of the magic weapons he stole from Gnoll.
As Jiha drew her dagger, Carmine squeezed her voice.
“You crazy bastard! Bring a weapon? You mean it’s okay for the hostage to die!”
“No, wait. I didn’t bring this to kill you. I won’t throw it at you.”
When the basement spoke seriously, Carmine rolled her eyes anxiously.
Ji-ha smiled and spread her free hand as a sign of reassurance.
Then she slowly moved her right arm, holding her dagger horizontally.
“…”
Jiha put the dagger to Asira’s neck and leisurely declared to Carmine.
“To do this.”
To subdue a hostage taker with requirements?
Take that demand hostage.
