Chapter 1098 – Ep.1096 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
“Okay…”
Thanks to the pounding headache, my consciousness, which had been briefly interrupted, gradually began to become clearer.
The problem is that as consciousness becomes clearer, headaches also begin to feel more clearly. Moreover, my stomach felt nauseous like the morning after I passed out after drinking makgeolli like water without knowing I was drunk the day before.
“Wow…”
I lifted my eyelids slightly, and as my eyeballs started rolling and the nausea got worse, I closed my eyes again and slowly took a breath.
‘Crazy bitches.’
I don’t know how much time passed, but as soon as my stomach calmed down a little and I had time to think, it was like I was waiting.
I vaguely expected that something creepy had set up a trap. And I made a mistake at this stage.
The point is that we underestimated the madness of these crazy girls.
Who would have thought that they would set up traps throughout the sewer just to catch me.
‘I have no idea where the design came from…’
If I remember correctly, they draw magic circles using the blood of virgins. Then, how many virgins’ blood did they use to use that entire sewer as a means to capture me?
“Off…”
The stomachache was much better now, so I lifted my eyelids with difficulty to understand the situation.
‘Ah, it’s an unfamiliar ceiling… Fuck.’
I expected it, but the ceiling I looked up with difficulty, groaning from a headache, was a ceiling of a shape I couldn’t remember.
“Damn, why is my body so heavy and damn?”
Because of my pounding head, I pressed my temples and struggled to get up.
“… Thrive, what kind of situation is this again?”
And when I got up, my already sore head started to ache even more due to the feast of unknown peppers scattered around me.
“Whoa, relax. Let’s calm down and organize our thoughts.”
The headache was a little less severe when I sat rather than lying down, so I sat cross-legged on the floor for the first time in a while and closed my eyes.
‘First, it’s clear that I was kidnapped, whether it was instantaneous movement or spatial movement like that time…’
I seriously thought about why I was stuck in a pepper field that I had never seen before, instead of Ardel, who was with me.
First, there are two hypotheses that I can think of in my head right now.
In one case, Nuit, a night prostitute, kidnapped decent men in search of a companion, just like she did back then.
And the other one is honestly a bit absurd… What if those crazy bastards set up traps not in the sewers but in the entire city?
And what if the target for whom the magic circle is effective is limited to men?
‘I really don’t like it, but somehow it seems like it’s the latter.’
The reason was simple.
Nuit brainwashes regardless of whether it is a man or a woman.
The average man here trembles and is subdued even by the fist of an ordinary country girl. It may be that they were put together like this because some special materials or rituals are needed for brainwashing, but… Well.
‘Why bother with those unfaithful bastards?’
If you take them to a men-only bar with a very gay atmosphere and buy them a few drinks and sweet desserts, the average pepper here will fall for it.
In fact, when the existence of Nuit and the Sith first descended into my body, the bald man with muscles and his underlings used the method I mentioned earlier to lure men into becoming believers of the Nuit religion.
‘But it seems like the numbers are a bit poor to say that the entire city was covered…’
At first glance, the number seemed to be less than 100 people.
Considering that the number of men living in Mallingta was a little over a hundred, including me, it was definitely a small number.
‘Damn, that’s not the point.’
As soon as I opened my eyes, I got excited about a moment because what I saw was not the pretty Ardel, but these guys who were so bad that I could even call them men.
I didn’t normally hate men this much, but maybe because I suffered so much when I was a receptionist, my body naturally reacted with rejection when I saw these guys.
‘Damn it, Roan, I never thought I’d miss that bastard.’
Tuk! It wasn’t a very long time, but I missed Roan and the members who had started to build up muscles and a body that could be called a man after rolling a little under me. .
“I really can’t kick them all.”
Not only was my body too big, but the problem was that I was lying on so many layers that I couldn’t stand properly.
‘I really have no idea what the hell this place is.’
If a place to confine someone is called a prison, then this space could also be called a prison.
No, in some ways I would say it is worse than prison.
In prison, at least it was possible to see through the iron bars into the hallway or, if you were lucky, outside. But the place I was in now was blocked by gray walls on all sides, not just iron bars.
Fortunately, there were magic lights hanging in the middle of the wall, so sufficient visibility was ensured.
‘It’s not like the ceiling is open.’
As I looked around for a while, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
‘Are these kids alive?’
Even if you faint, you can usually still breathe. However, no matter how large the space was, the fact that there were about a hundred people there and not a single sound of tossing or breathing was enough to make one feel eerie.
“Oh, you bastards.”
Fortunately, I was able to check that they were breathing fine when I turned over a few of them and put my index finger on their noses.
“Shit. “I can’t do it because it’s frustrating.”
I tried contacting the Sith, but there was no response from the Sith, and the situation was too serious to hold on to the seniors and create a new holy object, vaguely thinking that her wives would come to save them.
For that reason, the very moment I was about to get up from my seat to roughly move aside the troublemakers one by one and feel around the wall.
Kugugung──!!
The ground began to shake precariously, and large and small debris fell from the ceiling.
“It’s just as your mother said.”
“Surely there’s a reason her mother wants it so much.”
‘… ?’
I raised my head at the new light coming down from above and the unpleasantly neutral voice.
“Hello.”
“Victor, you are spoiled. “He will be my mother’s companion.”
Above the ceiling.
Apparently, the ceiling, which had been made of the same material as the gray walls blocking the four directions just a moment ago, had disappeared, and a new ceiling made of thick iron bars had appeared.
And two guys wearing gloomy robes were stepping on the iron bars and looking down.
“Nuit?”
“You already call your mother’s name without hesitation. “As expected, it’s amazing.”
“Victor. “Just shut up for a moment.”
Unlike the bald, muscular man I had seen at the time, his body was as slim as a woman’s, but even though his voice was neutral, he seemed strangely repulsive, so it was clear that these guys had the same stick between their crotches as me.
“I know you’re confused, but I’d like you to stay there for just a month. Of course, meals will be provided at each meal, and you will naturally learn where the restrooms and bathrooms are located over time.”
“Where is Ardella?”
“Just in case, if you are thinking of escaping, it would be better for you to give up. “If you escape, many people will pay the price.”
I expected it, but it looks like they have no intention of answering my question.
“Does that include you too?”
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Kugugung──!!
The ground shook just as before, and the unfamiliar ceiling I saw when I first opened my eyes extended from the left and right and became the original ceiling again.
‘Shit…’
It may be a little difficult, but once you know the exit hole, it is not that difficult to get out of here even if you are alone.
But the fact that many people would pay the price if I escaped made me hesitate.
What if that range includes the Ardella I’m looking for?
‘It’s frustrating, but I have no choice but to remain silent for now.’
It was a time when I was suppressing the anger rising from below.
Geegeukgeuk──!!
Although the ground was not shaking, sounds that could be considered loud enough were heard from all directions. And when the loud noise stopped, I realized the meaning of what the guy standing on the iron bars had said.
The wall that was frustratingly blocking everything went down, and beyond it, other spaces appeared, decorated with overly luxurious furniture.
This is not an exaggeration; it is a space that is no different from the top floor rooms of Bambino.
