Chapter 150 – 150. Lawless Zone
150. Lawless Zone
Lawless zone.
An area located in the northern part of Korea.
Literally a lawless place, it was also a land where the South Korean government had unofficially given up its domination.
“Have you ever been to the Lawless Zone?”
“No, never. What about your sister?”
“Hey, I’ve been here a few times. There have been times when they have come openly, and there have been times when they have come secretly like this time. I’ll tell you briefly about the lawless zone.”
Tuck, Tuck.
Isea and Yujia walked across the lawless zone. The two pass between abandoned containers and crudely raised buildings. Before entering the full-scale lawless zone, Lee Se-ah taught Yoo Ji-ah a lot of things.
“First of all, whatever you see in the Lawless Zone, it’s better to just paint it and pass it on. Really crazy things happen all the time here.”
“What is that…”
“Look over there.”
Swoop.
Yoo Ji-ah looked at the place Lee Se-ah pointed with her finger. And right away he frowned.
“Hugeuk, eugeuk eup, eup.”
“Hey, write quickly. Because it looks like it’s going to explode.”
“This bitch doesn’t sleep well, heck.”
Between the containers, several men are seen playing with a woman. Guys who are raping women as if they were playing with them. To be honest, I was a little nauseous.
“That is just everyday life. Here, the powerful man is the law.”
The logic of power applies not only between the strong and the weak, but also between the weak and the weak. The lawless zone is where the strong have everything.
Of course, it wasn’t without rules. The villains who live here also want to play with power, because they don’t want to live like primitive tribes.
Even if it was a rule, it was just a rule to manage the slaves well.
“Compared to the guys here, the villains in Sillim-dong are just cute. At least they keep the line, right?”
The villains who live in Sillim-dong sometimes cross the line, but they are quite docile. At most, it was just running a slightly stimulating entertainment facility that ran drugs, gambling halls, and prostitute villages.
Occasionally, they commit murder or robbery, but most of those things happen during conflicts between friends.
Although they sometimes touched civilians, it was only occasionally. In the past, it was rare to cause a big social problem in this era. Not that they aren’t bad guys, of course. Still, it is the Sillim-dong villains who remain at the level of necessary evil.
On the other hand, the villains of the Lawless Zone were on a different level. Because these guys are the ones that really fit the word ‘villain’.
In Korea, murder and rape as serious crimes are just sports. Human trafficking is basic, and it was right here, a place called the Lawless Zone, where enslaving and breeding people was taken for granted.
“Even just hearing the words makes me feel like shit…”
“So don’t worry too much about something like that on the street. It’s just like everyday life here. Rape and murder are easier to see than people living on the streets of Seoul.”
“It’s worse than I’ve heard.”
“There is no bottom and no end if you interfere with each one. Besides, we have to find the Monster Association too… “
Swish
Lee Se-ah lightly waved his hand. At the same time, the head of the man sneaking up behind her explodes.
“In this way, it’s best not to touch them unless you’re directly touching them.”
“Yes…”
Even though Eugene’s head exploded, he found it so awkward that no one cared. She asked her, walking beside her Issa.
“By the way, why is the government leaving this place alone? I guess we’ll have to go to war to wipe it out…”
The Lawless Zone is a place like a rock on the Korean Peninsula. Unlike Sillim-dong, which is a necessary evil, it would be better to wipe it out even if it causes some damage, so why leave it alone? Dropping even a nuclear bomb would be beneficial to human history…
“Well, first of all, since most of the guys here are classified as civilians, it’s a bit big that they can’t use such weapons of mass destruction. They are not the kind of guys who would go that far despite the criticism of human rights activists around the world.”
“Is it so? I think it’s a bit crazy just to hear it…”
“Well, from a personal point of view, it’s like that, but to be honest, there aren’t just one or two places like this.”
Just looking at China right now, there are dozens of such lawless zones. The same goes for North Korea, and if you expand it around the world, there will be thousands or tens of thousands of places called lawless zones.
“Actually, we don’t care about that, do we? It’s similar to that It’s just right above your head, so it’s just a little annoying. In fact, even if you just think of being in North Korea, it doesn’t make much of a difference.”
“Okay…”
“And more than anything else, don’t you have a lot to lose by pretending to be at war? Dropping a nuclear bomb doesn’t mean everyone here is going after it. Even if you wipe it out in one blow, the problem doesn’t go away. Anyway, it’s a little complicated.”
There was no benefit to attacking preemptively. No, it was rather a loss. There is no reason to touch a beehive full of wasps, unless you know if you have suffered real damage from the lawless zone like this time.
“Whoa, but if there was a secret passage like this, the story would be a little different.”
“Why?”
“Why, from now on you can sneak in here and shake it up. Pretending to be a villain and messing around would be fun, right? Kick kick kick.”
“To…”
Lee Se-ah giggled as if she had come up with an interesting plan. Even the villains don’t get along well with each other. If you deal with them while pretending to be villains, not outside forces, you will be able to control the lawless zone without attracting aggro to Korea.
Hehe.”
‘I’m anxious…’
Yoo Ji-ah was worried about something, but decided to leave it alone. Because he was originally a bit of a strange person. Not caring was good for his mental health.
– It’s fun wearing a mask and messing around. I know it well because I’ve done it a few times.
“Huh?”
Yoo Ji-ah was looking at Lee Se-ah with pitiful eyes, but she was startled. It was because she heard Lee Hyun’s voice in her ears. Fortunately, Lee Se-ah was working on her fun plan, so she didn’t mind her strange reaction.
– When you go to the bundang later, ask to join you too. Take a look
Nodding…
Cold sweat broke out on Yoo Ah-ah’s body. She decided not to mind, but as long as the master ordered, she had no choice but to obey.
‘It’s scary…’
She followed Isea, her body limp. And after swallowing her saliva, she hinted at her.
“Can’t I join you too?”
“Huh? Will you? Now that Jia is also a hero… Doesn’t it matter?”
“Go, thank you.”
“Puhihi. You think it might be fun too?”
It wasn’t like that at all, but once Yuji nodded her head. She just gave up and followed Isea.
“But, where should we go from here?”
“You can go that way.”
Following Lee Hyun’s guidance, they headed towards the monster’s stronghold. For some reason, Yoo Ji-ah looks pathetic as she follows Se-ah Lee as she walks with her powerful steps.
***
The decline of religion came with the rise of the gate. Humans who have gained transcendent power no longer believe in miracles. Humans who have identified the existence of souls no longer believe in paradise after death.
Christianity and Islam are now just relics of the past. All religions on Earth have been forgotten and reduced to mere myths. Their current address is that they are only used as materials for novels or movies.
However, the faith did not disappear. Human beings take the place of God, and in a shallow world where God is worshiped, someone still wants the existence of God.
Inside the dark church.
“My father in heaven. My father, the lord of all things who overlooks the dirty world. Hallowed his glorious name… “
The floor of a large hollow illuminated by light transmitted through stained glass. There, a woman in a nun’s uniform is kneeling down and praying.
Women were constantly praising and worshiping God. She doesn’t think she’ll move as hours go by. She looks as if she is waiting for a revelation from God.
But, as always, there was no reply from the god she worshiped as time passed. However, the woman didn’t mind and continued to pray. She believes that one day her god will give her her answer.
Profit.
“Purification of this filthy and vulgar world…”
Her prayer, which seemed to continue for ten thousand years, was cut off. Because the door of the church opened, and someone came in.
Swoop.
The woman who had been lying flat on the floor stood up. She raised her body and looked behind herself.
I see a huge door slightly open. And underneath, something wriggling and small was crawling towards him. It looks like an ant.
But it wasn’t an ant. Because that something had a human form and was walking on two legs. Rather than being in human form, he was just human. A tiny human, not even the size of a finger.
“Meet the saintess.”
“What is going on?”
Could it be a small person?
It wasn’t like that. Because they were normal in size. It was just that the woman in the nun’s uniform was unusually huge, so they felt like bugs.
The woman whose prayers were interrupted looked down at them with cold eyes. She got up from her seat. A huge body stands right in front of the human body like a huge tower. A red light shimmers in the center of her dull gray eyes.
The humans who received the cold death knelt. A huge woman’s toe appears before their eyes. They said, feeling like insects, bowing their heads at the woman’s feet.
“I found out the identity of the angel.”
“Okay?”
The woman’s expression softened. Slightly relieved, they continued their report.
“Unfortunately, he was not an apostle of God, but just a monster.”
“A monster? You’re cheeky. How dare such a monster imitate the appearance of an angel…”
A woman makes a displeased expression. In an overbearing tone, she gave orders to the humans beneath her feet.
“Go and kill him.”
“Yes.”
Humans retreat
A woman left alone again. As if nothing had happened, she turned around and fell on her knees on the floor.
And continued to pray.
Still, there was no response from God.
Only the huge skeleton hanging from her cross was looking down at her.
“God, cleanse the filthy world, save your foolish children…”
