Chapter 23 – 23. University 3
“Jeong Se-hee?”
Dabin tilts his head.
“There will always be guys around the Chemistry Department. As far as I know, there are at least 10 of them. And the last time I saw him, he had long hair…”
“That bitch?”
“Huh? Do you know?”
“You know. That bitch. She’s the bitch who ruined our group. That fucking bitch. That bitch.”
I was rather embarrassed by Davin’s strong reaction.
You ruined the group? What do you mean?”
“How do you know? What do you mean you ruined the group?”
“Do you have something to do with her?”
“Well… You know.”
“What is it? Revenge?”
“Yes.”
“Something warm and lukewarm?”
“Do you think so?”
“You seem somewhat unmotivated?”
“It can’t be.”
“Well… It doesn’t matter. But it must be difficult alone, right? There are always men around her.”
“Of course. Her skill is charm.”
“Charming? Flirting?”
“It’s not at the level of flirting. It’s making you like a slave.”
She’s not only smart, but she’s also cunning. She was used to having men around her, so she was probably delighted when she was able to choose a skill.
Because I always did it like breathing.
“Ah… Fuck. Somehow. I understand now.”
“Have you seen it?”
“Half a year ago.”
“Tell me.”
“Ah… Mr. This is something I really don’t want to talk about. Since you saved my life, there is nothing I can do.”
Dabin took out a bucket of water from his backpack and turned on the water in his laboratory to wash it.
Then she fills it with water, takes a sip, and she begins to tell a story.
“I am a political science major. And after the world changed, I gathered together with my political science classmates who were living on their own and formed a group.”
It’s a familiar story. Because I also got together with the chemistry department kids.
“We left the school and settled down at a nearby large supermarket. First, we had to secure food.”
“Are you sure you’re talking from the beginning? Can’t you just tell me about that girl Sehee?”
Dabin looks at me with a sarcastic expression.
Although I flinched a little on the inside, I calmly accepted her gaze.
“You won’t be popular with women.”
“What good is being popular? In a world like this.”
“Why? Even though I’m not pregnant, I can cum as much as I want? Isn’t that what men like?”
“Ha… Are you really a woman? No matter how much I think about it, you actually look like a man.”
“Oh my, there’s nothing he can’t say to a woman. You’re terrible at dating women.”
“Oh, that’s okay. Why don’t we just talk about Sehee?”
“Ugh. Yeah. What does it matter whether you date a girl or not? Anyway, yeah. Half a year ago. Ugh… I get annoyed just thinking about it. It’s been a while since we ran out of food. So… We survive like everyone else. There was.”
“Murder?”
“Do you really have to pick them up one by one?”
“What an unusual thing.”
“You… Have had a tougher life than you thought?”
“All humans alive today are probably the same. Are you talking as if you are not?”
I could read the guilt on her face.
Feeling guilty… Wasn’t it the first feeling that disappeared when the world was destroyed?
“Yeah. Anyway, that’s how we lived. But one day, they came into our hideout.”
“Sehee?”
“Yes. That bitch who will rip you to death.”
“How did you survive? Thanks to invisibility?”
“Yes. This ability was great.”
“So.”
“The funny thing is, two people from our group followed that bitch. Four of us died and Minyoung was taken away. In the end, I was the only one who escaped intact. I thought Seonggyu and Jumin had betrayed me… I guess it’s fascination? That goes on and on. Are you living like a slave?”
“As far as I know, it lasts a while. But what’s funny is that bitch Sehee’s skill. You said two of your friends followed you, right? You said you kidnapped a girl too? I think I know why.”
“What is it?”
Davin, whose eyes are burning with hatred, is he angry because was revealed half a year later?
“Those two friends joined the group because they were charmed, right? And when the charm wears off, do you think they’ll start throwing tantrums in anger? That’s not true. I know this because I saw it firsthand. That woman who was captured would have been raped and killed by your friend.”
Dabin’s shocked expression.
“That bitch, Sehee, is laughing and saying to your friends who were released from fascination. You guys took the woman with your hands, raped her, and killed her. He said he didn’t order it. So what kind of expression do you think your friends will make?”
Dabin seemed so angry that his hands were shaking.
Hmm… That kind of reaction. Was it a group that got along well? It’s not easy to do that.
“I saw it myself. That’s why I know. Most of the men around Sehee-nyeon are like that. Only the four people from the chemistry department were originally there, and the rest all joined like that. He may have been charmed. He may even vaguely know it. But Since you don’t know the exact mechanism, how much of it is your own will and how much of it is because of your fascination? That’s what they call gaslighting.
Davin, who heard everything I said, was deep in thought and didn’t say anything.
After staying still for a while, she looked at me and said.
“How do you know so well?”
“I told you. Chemistry department. Hogu number 17 was lucky enough to escape from that bitch.”
“What is number 17?”
“You can’t tell just by hearing it.”
“Do you really mean that?”
“Well, does Hogu have a different meaning?”
Dabin becomes speechless again.
“So? You didn’t tell me the most important thing. Do you know where it went?”
“I don’t know. But I have a guess.”
“Where are you?”
“I hide my body with transparent, and I heard when I chased them. I gave up because I had no power, but when I heard it at the end, it was that. I have to go to many places.”
“Where there are a lot of people? Why?”
“I don’t know that. It’s hard to make a living, so I guess they’re trying to hunt in earnest.”
“A place with lots of people…”
I thought after listening to Davin.
It’s a crowded place… Where are the crowded places nearby? Nothing comes to mind except the underground shopping mall.
“Anyway, this is everything I know. The end.”
“There’s no benefit. I don’t even know the location. I’ve only heard a lot of stories about you that have nothing to do with me.”
“You Mr. Lee… You really speak rudely. I think you didn’t have any friends even before the world went to shit.”
At her words, I looked at her blankly.
She seemed to flinch, but she didn’t avoid my gaze.
I saved her life and I hate to see her crawling all over.
Doesn’t she understand her own situation?
“Hey.”
“Why?”
“Do you want to die?”
“They said they wouldn’t kill me.”
“Do you trust me?”
Only then did Dabin realize that the situation was a little strange, and his expression hardened slightly.
“Why… What’s wrong?”
“You know what my skills are, you’ve seen my face. You know my name, you know my age… You know a lot. And I know what your skills are, and I know you can’t beat me. But I think I’ll just let you go from here. ?”
“No… What’s wrong? I don’t go around saying things like that.”
“That’s something I don’t know.”
“Uh… Don’t be like this. We were in a good mood just now, right? Wasn’t this a very heartwarming scene in this crappy world?”
“That’s your opinion.”
Dabin is looking at me intently. I can feel the thoughts tangled in her head.
What should we do? Should I beg for my life? Should I run away?
“Transparent.”
She chose to run away.
Her image became transparent, and I noticed that the piece of tape on her head had not disappeared.
She ran away quickly, but I was fully prepared and expected to go towards the door of the lab close to her, so I was able to grab her by the duct tape by her hair.
“Let go! Let go! Fuck!”
“If you scream, I will kill you.”
I muttered quietly while aiming the machete at my neck.
Only then did she realize that she had been caught and Dabin silenced her.
“Release invisibility.”
“… Disable.”
Davin’s invisibility was lifted, and she took a breath, looking at me with a resentful expression.
“Dabin.”
Suddenly, her expression turns bewildered when she sees me calling out her name affectionately and putting away the machete.
“No one should believe that.”
Turn around, go to her backpack, pick it up, and place it in front of her.
“I tested it because I wanted to find out, so don’t feel too bad.”
“You… You!”
“And please don’t go anywhere and tell my story. The reason I’m saving you is not because I trust you, but because I have a way to catch and kill you. So don’t trust anyone else, don’t tell my story, and don’t get caught by those idiots like today. No, okay?”
There is no way to catch and kill him, but Davin will never know such a thing, so this can be seen as a great bluff.
I don’t know if she will really control her mouth, but she won’t go around opening her mouth like that.
“Are you really a fool?”
“Have you finally realized that?”
I can feel her body shaking as if she is relaxed.
That look was strangely sexy, and I wanted to pounce on it, but I stopped.
Even though she did some serious mischief, she is living in a crazy world on her own.
“Oh. Really. Can I just hit you?”
“If you have the ability.”
I don’t know what kind of idiotic behavior this is, but it seems like she was accepted in a peculiar way by Dabin, who had been through a lot of irritating things today.
The expression he looks at me is different from before, he seems to be a little afraid.
Rather than being scary or frightening, the gaze is like that of a crazy person who should not be encountered.
“Okay, bye. Let’s not meet again next time.”
At my words, Dabin put on his backpack and muttered softly.
Even though she disappeared, I smiled as I watched the tape on her head quietly heading towards the lab door.
“Hey, take that thing off your head and go.”
As she hastily touches her own hair, she touches a piece of tape and roughly sprays it on her floor.
Although it was not visible, the fallen piece of tape suggested that she had done so.
