Chapter 288 – 288. Things That Are Cruel but Have Become Everyday Life 2
Because I am a man, I don’t know what it feels like to be raped.
And rather, I was the one doing it. Can I say that those guys who gang-raped Minhee were shameless?
Of course there is.
Because I’m different from those idiots. I no longer feel guilty or self-deprecating about things like this.
The difference between them and me is clear. I have power, and they do not.
Those who have no power commit presumptuous acts and are retaliated against.
If you had power like me, if you cut it off in the bud without creating an opportunity for retaliation, you wouldn’t end up like that.
Min-hee lost her boyfriend to a doctor named Go Young-jun, and she lived as a plaything for about two years.
It is said that this is not the first rape.
But wouldn’t it be shocking if it wasn’t your first rape? Probably not. The guy who says such crazy things should break the pot.
Minhee smiled faintly as she looked at the guys being subdued neatly and prettily.
Even though she was treated poorly, Minhee was the ultimate winner. They didn’t make sure to finish things off.
When doing anything, you have to clean up after yourself thoroughly. This is what happens because you don’t do it right.
Minhee looks at the two men lying at the entrance with her arms crossed.
“Minhee.”
“Yes.”
“How many coins do I have now?”
“About 740,000.”
“That’s pretty generous, but… Should I ask you one thing?”
“Yes?”
“Those three. Can you trust them?”
Two women and a man are following behind me and Minhee.
Those who were trapped together in a container.
The two women were probably gang-raped along with Minhee… It seems like the man was just tortured. Well, that must have been very painful.
“These are the people who stood by me until the end. I am personally grateful.”
“You guys. Answer my question.”
The three of them seem quite polite to me, probably because they know that I saved them and also defeated all the people who were persecuting them.
I briefly asked the three men a few questions while kicking them and poking them with a machete as they fell and were wrapped in tape.
“Tell me each person’s name, age, and skills.”
“Hong Kyung-ah. I’m 27 years old. I’m paralyzed and flying.”
“Choi Jeong-min. I’m 28 years old. I have electric shock and reflexes.”
“This is Jeong Yong-hoon. I’m 26 years old, and I have wind blades and invisibility.”
Perhaps because they are part of a company, everyone’s skill set is pretty good.
She has quite a bit of practical experience, and more than anything, she has experienced failure.
That’s what I like the most. Even money can’t buy the experience of failure.
If you’ve been burned like that at least once, you’ll never let down your guard or make a mistake again.
Moreover, Minhee needs someone to assist her.
You should have the ability to intercept even a decent number of people right away.
And if you still can’t do it on your own, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have someone by your side, even if it doesn’t help much.
“Hong-kyung. Answer yourself first. Why did you take Min-hee’s side?”
“What Executive Director Cho did was not right.”
“Was it so unbearable that you threw yourself away like that?”
“I didn’t know he would go this far. It was my mistake not knowing he was this much of a scumbag.”
It’s not bad. It’s good to be able to admit your mistakes right away.
Plus, I have my own beliefs. Of course, when you have no power, your convictions are useless.
“Choi Jeong-min. Who are you?”
“I’ve seen Minhee a few times in the past, and just like Assistant Manager Hong said, Managing Director Jo wasn’t normal. We had instructions from Manager So. And the people here at Castle are not slaves.”
Manager So. I didn’t kill that person called So Manager. Jeong Jong-chan, that bastard killed him. That’s the good thing.
They show a feeling of slight respect for Director So.
So, if I had killed Manager So, they wouldn’t have been obedient to me like this, no matter how much I saved them.
Anyway, if only Minhee and I keep our mouths shut, no one will know.
Anyway, they have their own righteous side.
It doesn’t really matter whether it’s hypocrisy or sincerity. Even if it’s hypocrisy, if they actually do it, it will eventually become their tendency.
I think so. The word hypocrisy is a funny word. Hypocrisy is also good.
If you look at the results, that’s true. And everything in the world is usually told through results.
“Jung Yong-hoon? Why did you help them and Min-hee? Wouldn’t it have been a more comfortable life for you to stand by Director Jo and rape them together?”
What I’m most curious about is this man.
Why did you take the side of these women and put yourself in trouble?
If he had stood on Director Cho’s side as I said, he would have been able to live happily, have sex with women whenever he wanted, and live well.
“What do you mean? No matter how good it looks… Wouldn’t it be a different story if it was the way of an animal? You can’t do something like that while wearing a human mask.”
Under… Okay. He was a kid. Or maybe you are a hero with a strong sense of justice.
He’s the same age as me… It’s different like this.
The way of the beast? A human mask? Oh my god. Fuck. There are still people left who say things like that.
However… It’s amazing.
At least I have an excuse for being someone I couldn’t protect… You mean it’s still maintained, right?
To put it in a good way, it’s upright, and in a bad way, it’s being stubborn…
However, such rigidity can only be maintained if one has one’s own abilities.
Because people without abilities die easily. At least I have killed countless people like that.
“Good. I understand the opinions of the three of you. Minhee?”
“Yes.”
“Take these three as your subordinates. As I said last time, you become the owner of the castle. You can go and kill whatever you are talking about now, so this is your place. Understood?”
“Yes.”
“You three. I’ll give you a chance to build up your strength, so you won’t end up like this again. So, stay here together under Minhee. If you want to do that, answer right away. These things need to be said out loud. As I was going, it happened like that… That’s not possible.”
“Yes, I will.”
“I will do it too.”
“I have a question.”
Yonghoon Jeong looked at me and said, and I looked at him as if telling him to do it.
“What are you…?”
“Me?”
“Yes. If you’re next to Manager Jeong, don’t you think we don’t need you?”
“That’s a good question. I can’t always be by Minhee’s side, so I’m giving you guys a chance, right?”
“Why?”
“Why? That’s because there are so many people in the world to kill.”
“Yes?”
“No. You don’t need to know that. Anyway, just decide whether to do it or not.”
“Um… I will.”
“Okay. Then all three of you have decided. From now on, you are the castle’s knights. Ugh… Fuck. This knight thing is just a metaphor. Don’t you guys call each other knights like that in the future? Anyway, you are Minhee. All you have to do is protect the people here from external enemies and live until you poop on the wall forever, okay?”
Everyone was a little impressed because my expression wasn’t that beautiful, but it didn’t mean they didn’t understand what I was saying, so they all nodded.
“Okay. Then… Out of the three, who couldn’t master the second skill?”
No one has an answer. Hmm… You are quite faithful, aren’t you?
“So you couldn’t use the third skill because all three of you didn’t have coins?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Good. Then… Minhee?”
“Yes?”
“Is there anyone here who really needs to be killed?”
“You know. Director Cho, I will kill that bastard with my own hands.”
“Okay. So… They can kill all the remaining ones?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s go up while killing each other. You first. Hong…”
“Hong Kyung.”
“Okay. Sorry. I’m not good at memorizing people’s names.”
“It’s okay.”
“Let’s start with you. Three people take turns killing each other and going up. You just have to tell them how many coins you got for each person you kill. We’ll go up by adjusting the ratio accordingly, and you can take revenge in your own way. It’s going to be difficult, but after today, you’ll remember it again. I hope we can finish it so clearly that it doesn’t happen.”
All three people nodded, and we started to climb up, shooting them all down and killing them.
The grudge between the two women, Hong Kyung-ah and Choi Jeong-min, was deeper than expected, and their revenge was cruel.
Okay. That’s what gang rape is like. Something that hurts both body and mind.
It’s fortunate that this world is a place where pregnancy is impossible, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing wrong with them.
No matter what you do, the wounds engraved in your mind cannot be repaired.
Ah… It’s so fucking weird when I keep saying things like this.
You should stop pretending you don’t know. Because I am disgusted with myself.
I killed them one by one and climbed up, but these guys had more coins than I thought.
Even after all three people got more than 600,000 coins, there were still four people left who had not been killed.
What should I do with this? It would be a good situation if I took him and gave him coins to Seunghee, who is on the verge of mastering the skill… It’s a bit not easy.
First, it’s not easy to take him to the bunker, and I don’t really want to show that to Minhee.
When I’m with Minhee, I want to do my best for her.
“Ah. Yes. Yonghoon, you go and… What are you talking about? Ah. Yes, Seo Yejun. There must be a kid like that. Bring him.”
“This is Seo Ye-jun. Do you have any other information besides your name?”
“Uh… I’m still a kid. If you go downstairs, grab someone and ask, they’ll tell you.”
As soon as you say that, Yonghoon goes down.
“That girl… Why?”
Minhee looked at me and asked, and I said what I was thinking.
“The skill is to remove diseases, and the child has a sense of justice, so I thought it would be a good idea to give him a chance. Isn’t three people too few?”
“But… You’re young.”
“You have to think about the future. And what does age mean in this world?”
I said this with Yejun in mind, but it also applies to Minhee.
Minhee is secretly concerned about her age. Well, it could be because she is a woman.
“I brought you.”
“Uh… Why am I…”
“Yejun.”
“Yes?”
“I called you because I wanted to ask you something. You must have felt something in the past when you were dealing with guys like Seongchae, Managing Director Cho, and others like that. When those guys behaved as they wanted, you were powerless and couldn’t do anything. Have you ever felt wronged or resentful about that? ?”
Yejun nods his head with a stiff face.
“Then, if a situation like that happens again, do you want to prevent it with your own hands, even if it means killing someone?”
“To be honest… Yes.”
“It’s not easy to kill people. Are you okay?”
“I’ve already killed people before.”
“Really? When?”
“Before entering the castle…”
“Really? Then, in the end, all you need is Coin. You already have the determination, right?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Then kill these guys.”
I said as I saw three men and one woman sprawled on the floor.
“Yes!?”
“These guys… To put it simply, they are worth dying for. They raped these sisters here and tortured this older brother.”
“Mr. Seongcheol!”
Minhee called my name as if asking what she was talking about, but I ignored her.
“Well, this is just an excuse to relieve the guilt. In the end, these guys are the same as you. Just kill people to get coins. To gain power, you have to kill people. I’m just giving you a chance to gain power. It’s up to you to decide whether to take that opportunity or not.”
“Whoa… What should I do?”
“Now.”
I held out the machete, and Yejun accepted it.
The way he holds the knife looks clumsy, but his facial expression says otherwise. At least there doesn’t seem to be any conflict about killing people.
“Kill whatever you want. Even if blood splatters, it all disappears anyway… Ah. You already know this, right?”
I urge a child who is not yet an adult to commit murder.
And the adults who watch it.
Yejun didn’t care about our gaze and approached the people tied up with tape.
And then he struck down the machete. A guy who stabs people in the neck with a pretty good trajectory even though he doesn’t tell them.
Yejun, who killed four people in an instant without hesitation, let out a long breath.
Also… Kids are scared. The speed of adapting to a changing world cannot be compared to that of adults.
Yejun politely returns the machete to me.
“How much did you get? Coins?”
“Now… It’s about 490,000.”
“Hmm. It’s an average coin. Well, another opportunity will come. That’s enough for now. First, you master disease removal. Learn the details from Minhee. Minhee? You share what I told you with everyone and she becomes the disease removal master. Please help me do it. I tell men to use it as much as possible, right?”
“Do you want me to explain that?”
“Why? Are you shy?”
“Sigh. Sometimes it’s delicate, and sometimes it’s downright rough.”
“You can take care of that. Now, there’s only one left, Manager Cho or that bastard, right? Let’s go up.”
