Abduction 290) The Chaser(189)
Jiing-
Upon arriving at the safe house, the tightly closed door opened automatically. The manager of the safe house, who was still awake, checked me and opened the door.
“Soo, you worked hard, Park Bo-gum.”
When I went inside, I was greeted by the manager of the safe house, who had an uncomfortable expression on his face. Seeing that, I smiled and nodded.
‘Is this why people shouldn’t commit sins and live?’
The reason why the person in charge of the safe house greets me with such an uncomfortable face is because I committed a sin.
About a month ago, several talented people from the Hong family, including Oh Tae-shik, tried to kill me while Na-yeon was away. At that time, the director of the safe house in front of me also helped.
The next day, the person in charge of the safety house was beaten and the CCTV was checked, but the scene where I went down to the underground training room with Oh Tae-shik was deleted. It was to manipulate the CCTV at the request of the talented people.
After that incident, when the person in charge of the safe house saw me, he didn’t know what to do, like a puppy hungry for poop.
There are people who do not feel remorse even though they have committed a crime, and act confidently as if they are proud of themselves.
But even those people get so upset when they get caught by a really scary bastard like me. How can you be confident when you could kill yourself if you do? It is a typical strong-weak-yak river.
“You’re working hard until late at night.”
“Oh, no. It’s my job.”
“Hmm… I see. But the manager.”
“Yes?”
“Is there any CCTV deletion during the work of the person in charge? I don’t mean anything, I’m just asking because I’m curious.”
“…”
He tilted his head, tilted his head, and stared into the eyes of the person in charge. Then, the person in charge became contemplative, as if he would urinate at any moment.
Haha. It’s a joke. It’s a joke. Anyway, please suffer.”
“…”
I tapped the manager on the shoulder and walked past him. The person in charge trembled.
Returning to my room, I washed up and changed into comfortable clothes.
“Whoa… I think I’m going to live a bit now.”
Lying flat on the bed, I recalled the memory of the scavenger I had checked earlier.
As I expected, the drug the scavenger used was the same one that the man presumed to be the New White Killer gave to the serial killer.
The two were the same product, but the effect was much better when used by scavengers. This is because the effect of administering the drug directly into the vein rather than taking it as a pill is faster.
‘But who is this bastard again?’
The scavenger bought the drug from a man. However, the man was different from the man who gave the pills to the serial killer.
The man who traded with the scavenger also hid his identity with a hat, sunglasses, mask, etc., But the body shape itself was completely different, so it was immediately apparent that the two were different people.
‘Well, I can have several bastards selling things.’
The information I got from the scavenger was the end, but it wasn’t bad. After confirming the information that the New White Killer has his men to spread the drug.
‘Now I’m going to have to chase after the bastards who sell this stuff.’
If you go back to grabbing and chopping off one guy and grabbing and chopping off another on top of it, you’ll eventually get to the New White Killer.
“Then shall we go to finish the day?”
I got up and went outside. Then, I headed to Nayeon’s room across the street.
Sex at the end of the day, this is the truth.
*****
There were not many restaurants or shops that continued to operate in the common area. At least, the restaurants located around the Hong family’s safe house were operating normally.
This is because me and other talented people from the Hong family regularly cleaned up the villains who were secretly doing things. It was also possible because the company run by the Hong family regularly distributed the necessary items for the store.
Anyway, while I was drinking coffee at a cafe near the safe house, a man came inside. The man looking around saw me and walked towards me. I got up and greeted him.
“Welcome Mr. Park Myeong-ho. Thank you for coming here while you are busy.”
Park Myung-ho, not many people knew his name in the common area. Most people call him [Tal]. Of course, I don’t know the face behind the mask that I always wear.
‘He’s handsome.’
Did he say he was 43? Not befitting his age, Park Myeong-ho is a handsome man with a fairly young and thick line. Others would see me as in my early to mid 20s.
“I heard from the lady that you could hear a good offer, so I came here. I hope I can hear a good offer like the contract I made with the lady.”
Externally, I was nothing more than Nayeon’s subordinate. No matter how much Na-yeon asked to meet me, it was impossible for Park Myeong-ho, the head of an organization, to come out and meet me in person. Even if he does, it is in line with one of his men to come.
Nevertheless, the reason Park Myung-ho came out like this was because, as he just said, he made a good proposal to that side.
“Of course. Oh, come to think of it, I didn’t introduce myself. My name is Park Bo-gum.”
“It’s Park Bo-gum…”
“Why is that?”
Upon hearing my name (pseudonym), Park Myeong-ho, who was pondering something, asked me.
“Excuse me for the first time, but where are you Mr. Park?”
Are you asking this here?
“Uh… I don’t know either. My parents passed away before I heard about it.”
“… I’ve offended you. I’m sorry.”
“No. It’s fine. Would you like to sit down for him?”
I waved my hand at Park Myung-ho’s apology and offered him a seat. When he asked what drink he would like, Myeong-ho Park shook his head.
“I’m a little busy, but can we get right to the point?”
“Okay. I don’t know if Mr. Park knows, but there’s a drug currently spreading in the common area. Do you know what it is?”
“Well, is it a drug?”
“It’s more addictive than drugs.”
“What is it?”
“Here it’s called the [Red Pill], But I’d like to call it something else. [Psychic Enhancer].”
“…Psychic enhancers? You mean they’re spreading in the common areas?”
Park Myung-ho’s eyebrows twitched. A super power enhancer, it is a very dangerous item that can tell you what kind of effect it has just by hearing its name.
“Yes. It has the downside of having to take it periodically, but it strengthens the psychic power. The duration of the psychic power enhancer I have figured out so far is 24 hours, and the psychic power level is already high, ah, sorry. It also strengthens the psychic power of powerful psychic people. “
“I’ve never heard of such an item being in circulation. Am I misunderstanding something? It makes no sense that such an item exists, but even if it did exist, it would only be owned by ruling families.”
“Two of those ruling families were exterminated some time ago.”
“…Does that mean that the fortifying agent started to circulate as the ruling family died down?”
“It’s similar in terms of timing.”
“Ummm…”
Park Myung-ho looked at me with a drool. His eyes as he looked at me were full of doubt.
It was natural to suspect that it might be a trap since I, who can be called an outsider, knew information I did not know about living in the common area from the time it was designated.
“Go ahead.”
“Yes. The problem is that the enhancer is spreading all over the place, even to the villains. Aren’t there some villains who are rapidly inflating their power lately?”
“Ummm…”
Park Myung-ho drooled again to see if he could guess anything.
“I want to root out those who spread the enhancers. The young lady, realizing the seriousness of the matter, consented to my solo action.”
“It’s a solo action… It means that other talented people won’t give it up.”
“That’s right.”
The talented people of the Hong family must participate in what Nayeon is doing. Therefore, chasing the psychic power enhancer must be done by myself.
“What I want to ask of you is to support Mr. Park Bo-gum.”
“That’s right. It’s not easy for me to solve this problem by myself. It’s difficult to make contact with people who distribute reinforcements because they work as point organizations.”
“How does that benefit us?”
“You can administer a booster and temporarily suppress the stronger villains. The current chaos in the common area is seldom resolved because new villains appear every day. If the sprouting ground itself is not dealt with, the common area will remain in its current state. Will be maintained.”
“…”
At my explanation, Park Myung-ho pounded the calculator in his head. I gave him time to think.
If new villains with reinforcing agents no longer appear, it is the villains who have built up their existing power that will have an advantage in the common area. The mask in front of me is one of them.
There was no reason to refuse because things were going in a direction that was advantageous to him.
Of course, the real reason I’m after the enhancer is that the creator of it is the New White Killer. The gnome forms a point organization to thoroughly prevent its existence from being revealed.
‘What kind of experiment are we doing this time?’
I’m familiar with the New White Killer. The reason he is spreading psychic enhancers in the common area is not for money, but for some experiment.
Even in Dark City, Nom distributed [Steam], Similar to a psychic power enhancer, in order to secure the results of a number of experiments.
Not asking for much. I just need to see him with my own eyes. Then you no longer need help from others. After tracking the spirits, he can face the New White Killer in no time.
“Okay. Let’s help Park Bo-gum.”
“Thank you.”
“And there is one condition.”
“Speak.”
“Psychic power enhancer.”
Looking straight into my eyes, Park Myung-ho said.
“We’ll take that. No one missing. Everything.”
