Chapter 66 – 066. Encounter With the Devil (2)
As the huge wooden blunt instrument struck Eun-hyeon on the head, Eun-hyeon’s head turned violently.
Even in the midst of blood splashing on the floor and bleeding from his head, Eun-hyeon stood firm and was only being attacked by the knights of the Royal Guard.
“What the hell is this fucking meal!”
In a solitary room where one person could barely lie down, the guards were struggling because they couldn’t bring out a single man.
“Get out of the way!”
Feeling frustrated, the royal guard put down the blunt weapon he was holding in his hand and squeezed his fist into Eun-hyeon’s abdomen with all his might.
Eun-hyeon’s body, which was hit with a straight attack, was pushed back, but that was all.
Despite being attacked by a knight, neither scream nor groan came out, and I was stunned by the sight of Eun-hyeon, who was holding on without collapsing with the strength of her legs, which I couldn’t believe was the strength that came from her bony body.
It was Eun-hyeon who, with both of his arms restrained behind his back, did not offer any proper resistance, and even while being assaulted by the knights of the royal guard, he was only preventing the knights of the royal guard from approaching Erin behind him.
“Driving me crazy. Really…”
It is like a mother bird protecting a baby bird.
Eun-hyeon’s body was so skinny that she could see the bones in her skin, but rather than being knocked down by the one-sided assault of the guardsmen, she stood firm like a solid wall, which made the knight feel uncomfortable.
The first thing that made me scratch my pride was that I couldn’t subdue a man with a bony body that looked like a dying old man. Being impatient was the second reason.
“Hey, open your mouth and let’s talk. We need to know what the purpose is so we can help.”
Another knight, who intuitively felt that the confrontation between Eun-hyeon and the knight would form a lifelong line, set out to persuade Eun-hyeon.
“The woman behind you is the culprit of the current aristocratic raid in Pernin. Judging from her appearance, it seems that you were also beaten by her. Why the hell are you protecting her?”
The incident started when two Aether male students, assisting a noble man, came to the Krasir Royal Knights of the court.
Originally, the Knights Templar was established solely to protect members of the royal family, but for that reason, the strongest knights in the kingdom are selected through rigorous screening and testing.
It was Artia who had the authority to command the investigation of the case, but among the young students, the actions of the two male students came with the simple idea that it is best to ask for help from the most powerful group rather than complicated adult matters such as the command system and authority of the investigation. This is the start
She testified that she personally witnessed the sight of a female student from the same school turning Ashton, the minor duke of Armitas, into a state close to a mummy in an abandoned warehouse.
In fact, since Ashton, who was in a state where all mana and spirit were sucked out of her body, was assisted and brought directly, the credibility of the report only grew.
And the article who received the report that Ashton’s condition was the same symptoms as the victims of the aristocratic serial raids that had happened so far was startled and immediately reported it to her superiors.
“This is an opportunity.”
Thinking that, Krasir’s leaders immediately dispatched knights and ordered the arrest of a female student who was presumed to be a suspect in the aristocratic serial raid.
As a result, it was decided to step forward and solve the case before Artia, who was in the middle of the investigation.
One variable occurred in her car, which was thinking of suppressing the nose of Artia, who was enjoying her tremendous fame recently.
In a situation where only the process of interrogating a female student, a suspect who was almost confirmed as the culprit, was left, a man suddenly intervened.
He wanted to be arrested along with the female suspect, and he said he would share a solitary room in a narrow single room, and in the end, he was interfering with the knights like this.
The worst mistake was to send a weak-looking man who couldn’t resist and put him in the same cell, thinking that he could do something.
The knight blamed himself that from the time he was found in the ruins, from the moment Eun-hyeon approached him with that skinny, emaciated body holding her female student, he felt something strange and should have been alert.
“Good, good, let’s go. We have to interrogate her. We don’t want to use any more violence.”
Hearing those words, Eunhyeon showed a change in expression for the first time.
The expression he made as he raised one corner of his mouth contained a sneer at the obvious knights.
The knight who assaulted Eun-hyeon wriggled his eyebrows after seeing Eun-hyeon’s smiling expression.
“Smile?”
The knight strode towards Eunhyeon again, snatched Eunhyeon by the collar, and pulled her to his face.
“Are we funny? Is the Korean word for the Royal Guards Corps funny? Ok?”
“Geth. Stop.”
Despite the restraints of his fellow knights, the knight holding on to Eunhyun’s collar, Geth, was not listening to his fellow knights.
The geth, who were already offended by Eun-hyeon to some extent, were in a state of rage at Eun-hyeon’s ridicule.
“Oh no, yes. Is this what my fist can hold on to? How far can you hold out, shall we try it?”
From that moment on, the geth gave up taking Erin, the suspect girl behind Eun-hyeon, and started beating Eun-hyeon in the face.
Eun-hyeon’s face turned around every time she hit her fist, and as he continued to hit her swollen face, his face turned red and swollen.
Even so, Eun-hyeon calmly looked at the geth, who continued to assault her, without complaining of her pain.
Eun-hyeon’s attitude makes the geth even more angry.
“How dare you make that face even after being attacked by me!”
It’s as if he’s expressing with his whole body, “Your attacks have no effect on me.”
‘Something is strange.’
Deln, his fellow knight, watched the scene from behind him, thinking about the questions running through his head.
Despite enduring the geth’s one-sided assault, Eun-hyun’s eyes do not show any emotions such as fear or fear.
Not only that, but also emotions like anger and humiliation.
I began to think that Eun-hyeon, who had been beaten to death with a weakened body, was not an ordinary human being.
Then why is he enduring such a one-sided assault?
If there was something they wanted, such as a negotiation or an offer, they would have told them.
However, he doesn’t open his mouth at all and just stops taking Erin.
‘But why? Why are you protecting that woman?’
The only people found on the spot were Eunhyeon and Erin in his arms.
The person who subdued Erin, who was presumed to be the culprit who fainted under the circumstances, was Eun-hyeon, who was in the ruins of the abandoned warehouse, the most likely.
But if Eun-hyeon had subdued Erin, what the hell is the point of preventing her from being interrogated by the knights when she is imprisoned together now?
At first, there were too many things he couldn’t understand, and he thought that he should report to the higher up and leave the judgment, so Deln called the geth.
“Geth. Let’s go back.”
“What?”
Geth frowned at Deln’s words.
“You haven’t looked at her hands yet?”
“I don’t know how you got involved with that girl, but you can’t kill her. I have to interrogate you and make you tell me everything.”
“No, she’s close to her mouth and stands still like a dumb cub, she’s telling what information she tells!”
“It’s a big deal!”
Another knight appeared in the prison and rushed to Geth and Deln with hasty steps.
“What. Also?”
“Here again!”
“What.”
“Another victim came out!”
“What?”
“What?”
Surprised by the urgent news delivered by the knight who appeared late, the geth untied Eun-hyeon by the collar and threw her away, then left the solitary room to hear the details.
Soon, Deln and Geth looked at the knight in surprise, then started looking at each other’s faces, and eventually turned their gaze toward Eunhyeon and Erin.
“Therefore! There has been another victim!”
Starting with those words, Eunhyun’s mouth, which had been kept firmly shut, finally opened.
“Finally, the news I’ve been waiting for has arrived.”
“Under?”
The geth started to show a bewildered expression at the man’s first-heard voice, who had never screamed or groaned before.
“What, wasn’t that dumb?”
“Is that important now?!”
“There were witnesses who reported the scene of the crime, and the man who seemed to be the victim was also there. It’s almost certain that the fainting woman is the culprit. Yet another victim has occurred… Are there multiple culprits?”
I didn’t think it was impossible.
“Hey, knights.”
Eunhyeon, who had been quietly listening to the Krasir members, opened her mouth.
“If this continues, Myeon won’t be able to catch the culprit, and the damage to the aristocrats will continue to grow. Leave it to Artia. Why did you step in? If this is the case, if the culprit is not caught, Krasir will be caught and criticized.”
“This new bitch is real!”
She laughed and spat out curse words at Eun-hyeon, as if she had been irritated by her sarcastic attitude.
“… What do you want to say?”
Deln frowned at her and asked Eunhyeon.
“The person in charge above you. Let me meet you.”
“Under!”
“That is impossible. If there is anything you want to say, say it to me.”
“Information about the demons now roaming the streets of the capital.”
“What?”
“Devil?”
“The location of where the devil is now, and even the purpose and countermeasures of the devil.”
“…”
“How is it? Quite appetizing, right?”
“Under! Deln! You don’t believe what this motherfucker says, do you?”
Deln was troubled.
Eun-hyeon, who had only kept her mouth shut and endured the violence of the geth, opened her mouth for the first time and proposed a deal to them.
Dare to aim for this timing.
“Why didn’t you offer that deal in the first place?”
“Huh? That’s how I trust you. In the first place, I only listened to the two kids’ reports and went to the scene, and I had already concluded that my child was the culprit and was acting.”
“That…”
Everything was so clear, including the report and the victim’s condition and circumstances.
“We couldn’t pinpoint the connection between Ashton and the victims, and we couldn’t figure out why the nobles had to be attacked, so we couldn’t find any clues about the culprit. These are people who blindly believed in the witness report and tried to catch a tough person for life. What do I need to say to you incompetent people like that?”
“Wasn’t that girl behind you making you that way?”
“I ask very quickly. Yes?”
Perhaps Eun-hyeon would have answered sincerely if Deln or Geth had asked Eun-hyeon about her circumstances at the time.
However, they had already concluded that her culprit was Erin, and they would take her and through her torture under the guise of interrogation, get her to confess that she was her culprit and close her case. Was
There was no such thing as a proper investigation or interrogation in the first place.
“Eww…”
As the three knights looked at Eun-hyeon and her silence continued, Erin let out her groan at the right time and started to move.
“What, that memory… Hyun and a very pretty person… Hot!”
She muttered strange words and made a confused expression, then she jerked herself up in surprise.
“Uh… ?”
Then he starts to look around her.
“What the hell happened… ?”
Watching Erin put on her confused expression, Eunhyun spoke to her.
“You woke up.”
“Hyunah! Uh… ?”
Hearing his voice, Erin turned her head towards her Eunhyeon and called out to him with words mixed with her delight and joy, but afterward, she recognized Eunhyeon’s condition and hardened her face.
Erin asked Eunhyeon with a trembling voice.
“Your face… What happened… ?”
“It just happened.”
“What the hell is going on…”
“Okay, let’s continue talking. So my suggestion. Will you accept Will you stop?”
“…”
Whether or not Eunhyun’s words were true didn’t matter too much.
Worst of all, if Eun-hyeon’s words are true and Erin is not the culprit, then they would have arrested and imprisoned stern people and indiscriminately assaulted civilians.
Perhaps Eun-hyeon was accepting the assaults of the geth without any resistance.
‘Is it to further aggravate our position?’
Deln, thinking that far, narrowed her eyebrows and glared at Eun-hyeon.
“What do you want?”
“My condition is, boy.”
“Huh?”
Eunhyun pointed at her Erin with her glance and pointed at her.
As soon as she suddenly came to her senses, Erin put on a dumbfounded expression at Eun-hyeon’s behavior of pointing at herself for not being able to grasp her situation properly.
“The release of our child. Since you’re innocent, wouldn’t this be difficult?”
“Tongue, Hyuna! What is that… !”
“That is difficult. It hasn’t even been confirmed yet that the woman isn’t the culprit. We need to investigate the clear facts.”
“It’s you guys who have been concluding that they’re the culprits up until now, so why come now?”
“Tongue, Hyuna! What the hell are you talking about! I’m the culprit! What’s up! Did they make your face like this?”
Erin hurriedly asked Eunhyeon, but Eunhyeon did not answer her question, and she continued to stare at the knights beyond the iron bars.
Erin also follows Eun-hyeon and glares at the knights.
He was glaring at them with a hostile gaze, convinced that only the knights had turned Eunhyeon’s body into a blood clot close to a rag.
But unlike her own feelings, Erin’s eyes are quivering at her fear of the situation and at her own powerlessness.
She didn’t seem like the kind of person who would dare to do something so bold as to raid the nobles in threes.
Isn’t she the appearance of a weak girl who is not infallible?
“Are you okay.”
“Uh… ?”
Eun-hyeon comforted Erin and calmed her down.
Deln thought as he looked at Erin staring at him like that.
‘Is this girl really not the culprit?’
Despite her hostile attitude, her fear-soaked eyes and slightly trembling body were frail.
From the looks of Erin now, she didn’t seem to have the skills, the guts, or the courage to attack the country’s nobles one after another.
She looks like a baby bird trying to protect her own parents.
As time passed and her troubles lasted longer, her premonition that Erin and she were not the culprit in this case grew more and more.
Noticing his dilemma, Eun-hyeon quickly opened her mouth.
“That’s why I told you to call the person in charge. From the fact that my child is not a criminal, to information about the real criminal, location, and how to catch it. I will tell you everything.”
