Chapter 639 – Apocrypha 142) the Chaser (41)
142) The Chaser (41)
After accepting the assassination request for 50 million won, the Dokgo brothers started pursuing Steel Armor in earnest a day later.
I don’t know who the client was, but that didn’t matter. What mattered to Brother Dokgo was how much the request cost.
The Dokgo brothers accepted the request and set out in pursuit, but it was close to impossible to find the steel armor in this vast Red Town, not to find Kim Seo-bang in Seoul.
But the Dokgo brothers were relaxed.
Tring-!
“Hyung. I got a reply.”
“Really? Where are you now?”
“Now… It’s a naked hotel near the Lee family’s main building?”
“The Lee family?
Brother Dokgo, who checked the mail, was not reluctant, but he headed to the Nasin Hotel mentioned in the mail. Even if the Dokgo brothers made killing people their business, Lee Sang-gye, the head of the Lee family, and Lee Yun-bang of Soga-ju were burdensome opponents.
The Dokgo brothers did not suspect the e-mail with the current location of the Steel Armor at all, because the sender of the e-mail was none other than [Thousand Eyes].
[A Thousand Eyes] Is Red Town’s premier intelligence organization.
Each of the seven generations had their own information organization, but [Thousand Eyes] Possessed transcendent information power that was incomparable to those intelligence organizations.
The Dokgo brothers commissioned [A Thousand Eyes] To find out the current location of the steel armor, and the price was a whopping 5 million Won, which was 10% of the request fee.
Just as the Dokgo brothers do not run for commissions, a thousand eyes cannot run for commissions. He had never given wrong information, so Brother Dokgo headed where [Thousand Eyes] Told him.
“Umm… Huh? Hyung over there. Isn’t that bastard Steel Armor?”
“Where? Who?”
“Here’s that bastard.”
“Let’s see… Hmm? I guess that’s right? Although he’s taking off his mask… Not many guys have that kind of build.”
As it was written in the request, although he was not wearing a mask, he was wearing a black suit, and above all, he was 190cm tall and had a body like that of a wrestler, which is hard to find in Red Town.
Is there a man with a similar body type to the assassination target at the place told in [A Thousand Eyes]?
Then that man was Steel Armor.
“Huh? I’m leaving. Will you follow me?”
“Of course. Because he is the only one with a body similar to the one in the picture.”
The Dokgo brothers followed the man leaving the naked hotel. The man who kept walking, wondering how far he was going, stopped when he reached the area ruled by the Zhou family.
“Hmm…”
The man, who had been watching his street closely, soon turned towards it. Then he went into a back alley and reappeared wearing a mask with a picture of a skull on it.
Brother Dokgo, who had been watching the scene from beginning to end, gave a fishy smile.
“I’m sure with this.”
“Yes. I earned 50 million won.”
The Dokgo brothers, confident in their skills, thought they had already completed his request.
It was an arrogant attitude, but it was natural for them. Although they are now engaged in contract killings, they were the elite of the elite who had been on an elite course since childhood.
The Dokgo brothers, who followed Steel Armor, became even more excited as he headed to the red light district.
The Dokgo brothers, who like a woman’s soft skin, did not visit any red light district in the area of the seven families. Now, my taste has changed to covet younger women than prostitutes, so I don’t go to the red light district often, but the geography of the red light district is clear.
In other words, this place was the red light district of the Zhou family, but to the Dokgo brothers it was no different from their own courtyard.
“Give me the syringe.”
“Yes. Then I’ll stay up.”
Dokgo Majun, the younger brother who handed his older brother a small syringe filled with purple liquid, carried the guitar case and climbed the building. Dokgo Ma Hyuk, who confirmed that his brother was taking a sniper position, walked slowly toward the steel armor.
He pretended to be on the phone with his left hand and put his right hand holding a syringe in his coat pocket, posing as a bystander.
“Sheesh.”
However, Steel Armor, who was walking on the road with her children, suddenly crossed the road and went over to the sidewalk on the other side of her. Dokgo Ma-hyeok, tongue-tied, followed him across the road with an expression of annoyance.
‘How are you?’
Dokgo Ma-hyeok clicked his tongue once again at the sight of Steel Armor taking the children into the Changgwan.
‘I wondered why you came here, but you came here to sell children.’
There was only one reason to stop by Changgwan with the child. It was to hand the child over to the window.
Both boys and girls were useful.
If you raise a boy well, you can use him as a bodyguard at Changgwan, and you can send him away from time to time when a customer with a particular taste likes him. So was the girl.
‘How do I do it?’
Will she wait for the steel armor to come out or will she follow in and kill her?
After thinking for a while, Dokgo Ma-hyeok chose the latter. He couldn’t get the support of his younger brother, who was stationed at the sniping point, but he didn’t want to bother waiting in front of Changgwan.
He was able to make this arrogant choice because he was confident in his skills.
It was when Dokgo Ma-hyeok stood in front of the door to follow the steel armor into the window.
Drooling-!
Suddenly the door opened and steel armor came out from inside and grabbed his neck. Because it was an unexpected surprise, Dokgo Ma-hyeok was helplessly held by his throat.
“Hey, was Ko Kwang-ryeol kidding from the first episode? I look like a pair of hot pants?!”
“Kek?!”
Steel Armor grabbed Dokgo Ma-hyeok by the neck while talking incomprehensible words and jumped into the road.
*****
‘Kill immediately!’
He tightened his grip on the man’s neck to kill him.
He can hear the reason why he wants to kill me by keeping him alive. However, if you try to control it clumsily in a situation where there are children right behind you, misfortune may occur.
I could protect the children, but the odds of the children dying or being injured were at least slim, so I decided to kill the man.
Swoop-!
“Oh shit!”
My hand gripping the man’s neck clenched into a fist. It wasn’t about crushing the man’s neck. The body dissipated like mist, and the man escaped my grasp.
“You bastard!”
Dispersing like fog, the man who escaped my grasp reappeared in a faraway place. He almost died, so the man cursed with an angry face.
“Puheheheheheeng! So who’s going to target me fearlessly?”
“Fuck you bastard!”
His face was covered with a mask, so he couldn’t show a laugh, so he exaggeratedly leaned back and pretended to laugh. The effect was clear. The guy whose face was as red as Hongshi used his psychic powers again and rushed at me.
‘Cannot attack when turned into fog.’
With the evasion I just made, I realized that it would be useless to attack in the misty state. If so, I had to believe in the hardness of the body and wait for the body to return to its original state.
‘Now!’
The moment it flew by my side, I reached out my hand towards it. He also reached his hand toward the nape of my neck.
‘Caught… Huh?’
The guy wasn’t caught. He just grabbed the air like he had missed his neck.
Cook-!
Unlike me who failed to attack, he succeeded in attacking. The man had a small syringe in his hand and he thrust it into my throat.
“What the fuck?!”
However, the man’s attack also failed. Because he used the [Steel Skin] Skill, the injection needle couldn’t pierce the skin. No matter how sharp the needle was, it couldn’t pierce the steel.
‘Partial materialization is also possible.’
The man materialized only the hand holding the syringe and attacked me. This meant that partial materialization was possible.
“Tsk.”
You can’t attack him, and I can’t attack him either. It couldn’t have been a very dog-like situation where each other’s attacks didn’t work.
‘I can’t help it.’
But I was the winner of this confrontation.
A man’s ability to change his body like fog can be seen as a kind of active skill. However, on the other hand, I am a level 11 body enhancer, and my psychic ability could be said to be a passive skill, unlike a man’s psychic ability that works like an active skill.
If the battle time is prolonged, the moment will eventually come when he cannot use his superpowers. Then he just needs to crush the bastard’s bone marrow.
“It’s a chewy bastard!”
“Such a dog… Big!”
As he rushed at it like a tiger hunting herbivores, the man with a frown hurriedly used his psychic powers.
A body that disperses like mist.
“Ooh oh oh oh!”
Bang-! Bang-! Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!
Even though I knew I couldn’t do any damage, I screamed like a beast and launched an indiscriminate attack at the fog. This is because the duration of the supernatural power is shortened only when the person maintains the supernatural power for as long as possible.
The road was a mess as if a bomb had fallen. A car that unluckily came nearby was swept away by my fist and destroyed in half. Fortunately, no one was injured as the driver left the car and ran away.
“Kyaaaaah
“Run away!”
People who visited the red light district and people who worked in the red light district screamed and ran away. Okay. If you don’t want to be followed, just run away.
Squeak-
If the man continued in this state, he must have realized that he was against himself, and his fog gradually moved away from me. I chased his fog like crazy, swinging his limbs.
It was then.
Puck-!
“Eww?!”
“Heeeeeik?! Kyaaaaagh!”
“Huh?”
A hole pierced the back of the man who ran away with the sound of something exploding. The man died on the spot, and the woman next to her was covered in her blood and screamed.
Puck-! Puck-! Puck-!
“Aaaaagh!”
“Help me!”
“Ha! After all, did you have a colleague?”
People fleeing were shot and fell one by one. I laughed out loud at that sight. Just in case, the man had a colleague.
‘What should I do with this?’
Chasing the man scattered by the fog or catching the sniper.
The trouble was short-lived.
“Huh-cha!”
I stopped attacking the mist man and threw myself in the direction of the bullets. I don’t know when I’ll be able to catch the man with the fog superpower, but I was able to take care of the sniper right away.
Make sure to kill at least one enemy number.
When I saw the sniper perched on the roof of the building, I threw myself.
“Why So Serious?”
“Kuk!”
I squatted down on the railing, and as I met my eyes, the man who bit my lip got up and started shooting at me.
Do-do-do-do-!
The bullet that hit me lost its power and fell to the floor.
“Ahh~ it stings.”
Feeling tickled, I rushed at the man. Then he grabbed him by the neck and broke it.
Wooddeuk-!
“Kek…!”
The man who suffered a broken neck lost his life.
“No eh eh eh!”
“Huh?”
A desperate cry was heard from below. He was the mister who tried to stick a syringe down my throat earlier.
“Steel armor…! I will definitely take revenge!”
The man who vowed revenge on me turned into fog and disappeared into the ground without me having to do anything about it.
“Tsk. It’s bothering me.”
Killing them both would have been pretty neat. It was unfortunate.
