Chapter 207 – 207. Chattel 1
Speeding down the road on an electric wheel, cutting through the winter wind.
The road to camp. The body is light.
Is it because I had a good time with Seunghee last night? Feeling more refreshed?
I like Mina, Se-ah, and Anna, but what can I say… Serenity? Stability? Seunghee is the biggest in that.
I guess it’s because I’m a little more used to it. There might be something like that because she was the first woman I allowed to sleep next to me.
Anyway, thanks to you, I feel good.
I hope I don’t get this feeling when I go to camp.
After running for a while, we arrived near the camp.
Indeed, four… No, are there five including my younger brother?
Wear transparent clothes and cross the water park lot.
Presence felt one by one. One, two, three… Four, five.
Oh. It’s all there.
I feel a sense of relief when what I intended was accomplished neatly without any variables.
But that doesn’t mean you can let down your guard. Because you never know what might happen.
Just like last time, there was one woman per restaurant.
And only Jiwon is with a girl who seems to be his younger sister. Is he the younger brother you were talking about?
Umm… She looks just like her sister. And she looks very lively.
Even while I was watching, she was constantly talking to her older sister. He really doesn’t stop talking for a moment.
Eww… He’s the type that’s a bit burdensome. It’s not easy.
I took a quick look at the women and went to the water park building.
The fire must have been extinguished, with only a faint amount of smoke rising and almost no heat.
That terrible burnt smell is also almost non-existent.
Did it rain? The building seems a bit wet.
After taking a look around, I returned to the building where the restaurant was located.
“Come on! Everyone comes out!”
As I shouted loudly, the women came out one by one.
Women nod their heads and say hello to me, even if it’s not a warm greeting. Okay. How much is this? Relationships gradually get better.
Jiwon and his younger brother came out last. Her younger brother looked at me and whispered something to her support.
“How are you? You brought your little brother with you?”
“Yes.”
“Hello. I’m Choi Ji-ah. I’ll be turning 20 in a few days.”
Just like what I saw earlier, he looks lively and youthful.
It’s definitely not an easy type.
“Okay. Nice to meet you. Did you hear the story from your sister?”
“Yes. You said you were going to kill people?”
Jiwon was next to her and tapped Jia’s shoulder.
I felt a little dizzy, but I held on and told Jia.
“The purpose is not to kill people.”
“Isn’t that what it is anyway? But how old are you?”
“Mister…”
My eyes close tightly without me realizing it.
Oh my god. What a man.
“Hey. I’m 25, right? I’m not old enough to hear old men, right?”
“Eh? Really? I’m sorry. I’m dressed too much like an old man. Um. Now that I think about it, my face doesn’t look that old? I understand. Then, can I call you oppa?”
Jia comes right in front of me and looks at me closely.
Jiwon tried to stop Jia, but it seemed to be no use.
And seeing Jia like that, Yun-seo, Song-i, and Jeong-hyeon laugh.
Ha… It’s nice because it makes the atmosphere better… Ah. I don’t know. I have to handle it.
What can I do? I told you to bring it.
“You can do whatever you want. First… Did everyone pick up the coins?”
Women who nod their heads and say yes.
“How much did it cost?”
“In total, it was about 600,000.”
“Really? It came out somehow. Did everyone get everything evenly?”
“600,000 isn’t that bad… Anyway, I got it in a reasonably similar amount.”
Yunseo answers and she and everyone nods. Judging by their facial expressions, they seem to be okay, so I don’t think there are any major complaints.
“It looks like the fire hasn’t completely gone out yet. Is there anything left?”
“We took out the fire hose and sprayed water. We picked up everything we could.”
“Oh. Really? For some reason, it didn’t seem like it was raining, but it was wet. So you don’t have any regrets about this place anymore, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s go.”
“Huh? Where?”
“Where is it? It’s a garden.”
When the name of Dongsan was mentioned, everyone looked a little nervous.
What kind of place is this that everyone finds so difficult?
I ignored the women’s reactions and started walking ahead.
I thought about going on an electric wheel, but I thought it would look a little strange if I was the only one riding while everyone else was walking, so I decided against it.
Well, you can take it with you when you come.
“Are you going to walk? Take the bus…?”
Jeong Hyeon’s words.
I looked at Jeonghyeon and asked.
“Bus? I don’t care. Is there anyone who can drive?”
“I can do it.”
“Really? Are you taking the bus?”
“It was somewhat of an external organization…”
“Oh. Right. Really? Then let’s ride. There’s no need to walk and shiver on this cold day.”
Then Yoonseo looks at me and says with a slightly worried expression.
“Isn’t it too noticeable?”
“It doesn’t matter. If there are people who run out when they see the bus, I’m thankful. I can just kill them all.”
Women who don’t pay attention to what I say.
These women certainly have no aversion to killing people.
Moreover, Zia, that woman looks at me with bright eyes.
Ha. Really. Forever.
Jeonghyun looked at the buses, selected the one with the most gas remaining, and started it.
Rumbling
Heavy engine sound. In a quiet world without noise, a sound of this magnitude is almost similar to the sound of thunder.
Everyone got on the bus, and the bus door closed.
“Then let’s go.”
A bus that moves smoothly.
I’m better at driving than I thought. Driving to the point where you don’t notice anything strange. Is it because the speed is slow?
The bus leaves the water park and slowly speeds up.
“Where are we going? We’re not going straight to the garden!?”
Jeong-hyeon speaks without difficulty while driving.
Good thing you saved me. I never thought I would have this kind of talent.
“First, let’s go to a place that can be used as a base camp. Is there a hotel nearby?”
“Huh? A hotel? Where is that?”
“I see. Then what about a business hotel or a more luxurious motel?”
“Ah! I know about a boutique hotel.”
“What is that again?”
“Like I said, a luxurious motel. A motel pretending to be a hotel.”
“Oh, okay. Let’s go there.”
“I understand.”
Soon after answering, Jeonghyeon stops the bus.
“What? Is there a problem?”
“Huh? No. Are we all there? Get off here and walk.”
“Really? Okay then.”
Did you come 4 kilometers away? It arrived faster than expected.
But. It’s an hour’s walkaway. Furthermore, it’s better to come by bus.
I followed Jeonghyun, who was ahead, and quickly found a motel.
A luxurious exterior that occupies an entire building.
Okay. It’s better somewhere like this. I’m glad that the average of Korea’s lodging companies is very high.
“Are you okay?”
“Right? Shall we go in?”
“Uh. Everyone go in, take your luggage to the room you want, and come out.”
“The colon doesn’t go in?”
“Captain?”
“Uh… I don’t like it? Then should I call it something else?”
“No, that’s okay. Call me whatever you want. It doesn’t matter what you call me.”
“Yes.”
“I’m going in too.”
“Okay, everyone, come here. I’ll give you the keys.”
Jeong Hyeon seems accustomed to this kind of thing, perhaps because he was part of an external group.
Hmm. It’s definitely useful. After all, a person must have a lot of experience in various things.
When I followed the women in, the first floor was like a hotel.
A bright desk, not the gloomy counter typical of motels.
There are chairs at the table… It feels pretty good. It’s perfect for use as a temporary hideout.
Everyone took their keys one by one and went up, and I looked inside the desk.
Let’s see… It should be here too.
I looked at each side other than where the key was and found a card with Master Key written on it at the bottom of the open money box.
Okay. There’s no way it doesn’t exist. Because it absolutely has to be there from a management perspective.
I didn’t bother going up anyway because I didn’t have any luggage.
As I sat down on the chair at the table and waited for a while, the women came down one by one.
When the last of the bunches came down, I stood up and said.
“Let’s go. First, let’s see how it came to be. No one has seen Dongsan other than Jeonghyeon, right?”
Women nodding their heads. I dragged them outside and went out.
Ha. This cold air. Really… I should do it when it’s warmer. Why am I shaking so damn sick in this cold season?
This winter is unusually cold. I didn’t plan on doing this.
This is all because of that bastard Jeong Jong-cheol. Why won’t winter end?
“From now on, everyone will be wearing invisibility. Be careful not to collide with each other because you can’t be seen… Oh, you already know this. Jeonghyun, after you wear invisibility, tie something to your leg. Everyone follows that.”〈 Br〉
“Ah! Yes, I understand.”
“If anything happens, you have to loosen it right away, so don’t tie it too tightly. When I tell you to loosen it, you have to loosen it right away without hesitation. Got it?”
“Yes.”
“Okay then, everyone put on their invisibility. Jeonghyeon will follow.”
The five figures, including me, who were there just now all disappeared with a small mutter.
It’s such an amazing sight. And now it’s a natural sight.
Footsteps are heard, and someone goes to the desk, picks up a piece of tape, rips it off, and sticks it to his leg.
“Is this enough?”
“Uh, that’s okay. Let’s go.”
A tape floating in the air. The unnatural movements are quite heterogeneous.
But it definitely stands out. A tape that looks odd when viewed from a distance, but is clearly visible when viewed up close.
Everyone started walking along.
Still, these women know how to walk silently. I really like that part.
But there is just one problem…
“But. Can you really destroy a place called Dongsan with this number of people? Wow. I can’t believe you were such an amazing person. That’s really cool. I really respect you. You worked so hard for me. It’s hard to survive alone, but you helped me. They have been taking care of me and constantly bringing me food, and something like that happened once in the neighborhood where we used to live.”
Snout. I want to block that snout.
Even though I warned him about seven times, his mouth keeps fluttering.
I’m not sure if I’m immature or just excited about this situation.
Really… It’s tough. Did I tell you to bring me here for no reason?
There’s nothing to detect, so I’m leaving it alone for now… Ha.
“We’re almost to the garden. It will be visible from now on.”
“So then my sister…”
“Jia. Just shut up from now on.”
When I started talking seriously, only then did Jia keep quiet.
I should have weighed it down and said it a long time ago. It’s finally getting quieter.
“Is that the place called the reception room?”
“Yes. See it over there? A sign that says rest area?”
“Yes.”
“It’s there if you go inside.”
“It’s more serious than I thought?”
“It’s a garden. A garden. It’s not an easy place. I’m still curious. How do you capture a place like that?”
“Watch. I need to get an estimate first. From now on, follow me. Don’t make a sound, especially Zia. Don’t open your mouth. And keep your steps quiet. If you look at your sister or other sisters, they will know that you don’t make any noise when you walk. You can do it too. Don’t slow down.”
“Yes. But…”
“If it’s not a really necessary question, keep your mouth shut.”
“Yes…”
“Then. Follow me.”
I took the tape off Jeonghyeon’s leg and stuck it on my leg.
There is still some adhesive left, so it won’t come off easily.
I took the lead and slowly approached the garden’s reception room.
