Chapter 28 – Episode 28 Mysterious Massacre
Mo So-jin, who witnessed Jo Mi-jung and Jang Dae-mul emitting a pink atmosphere in close contact, was honestly embarrassed.
She had never imagined that her own emotions would fluctuate so violently.
Would it have been so meaningful to allow at least a part of her body?
Or did she find him special without even realizing it?
I didn’t know, but one thing was clear.
That he could never tolerate the appearance of a pole attached to another woman.
‘No. Let’s calm down.’
She almost smashed them all at once, but she secretly took a deep breath and looked at Jang Dae-mul and Cho Mi-jung with calm eyes.
‘It’s not desirable to be swallowed up by emotions without knowing your own feelings. No, no, I wasn’t even angry in the first place. There’s no reason for that, right? It’s not even what we’re doing.’
Organizing her thoughts, she smiled brightly, ignoring her rising emotions.
***
Sojin laughed.
It was a sudden, odd, eerie grin, with no emotion being felt even though it was laughing.
“…”
“…”
Mi-jeong and I stood still, unable to say anything.
As if she was caught doing something wrong, she only broke out in a cold sweat.
“…”
There are no words. Say nothing.
It would have been easier to breathe if I said something, but I feel like I’m going crazy because I’m smiling quietly.
To compare it to, it felt like a time bomb exploding closer every moment.
You have to do something.
With that thought in mind, I stepped forward and hid Mi-jeong behind me.
For a moment, Sojin’s face seemed to twitch as she flinched, but… It must be an illusion, right?
“Oh, you must be wrong. Sojin-ah.”
“What’s the misunderstanding?”
She gasped at the sharp return of her voice.
Her white-stained head couldn’t print out the next words she’d come to, and she just plunged into a distant confusion.
Just as she gulped down her dry saliva, she flashed, and a thought flashed through her head.
“Ah, that…Yes! I was just saying this in case you thought I was raping Mi-jung! It’s absolutely not like that, so don’t misunderstand!”
“…Really? Is it true? Mi-jeong-ah.”
“Oh, yes! Absolutely not!”
“Then why were you two together?”
“…”
“…”
I had no choice but to become a dumb who ate honey again.
“Ha…”
Sojin let out a small sigh and put the strangers who were floating in the air with her energy on the living room floor and pulled me by the collar.
“Wow!?”
“Pole.”
A small whisper that even I, who is at close range, would miss if I didn’t pay attention, creeps into my consciousness.
“Yes yes!?”
“You said you liked me, right? Is that still valid?”
“Muh, sure! I’m not lying about that!”
My conscience stung, but I didn’t really lie.
“Really? That’s right…Then, at least, show yourself keeping your integrity. I will too.”
When I say these words with a pretty smile, I feel like my hamstrings are going to numb and I’m going to get tired.
“Okay! Yes! I will definitely do that!”
“…”
Staring at her with a wide smile on her face, she slowly let go of her collar.
“Damn it. I just found out now. I guess I’m the type to lose my temper when my lover cheats on me. It’s amazing that there are things I still don’t know about myself.”
“Ah, haha…That’s right. It’s amazing…”
It’s so scary.
“Th-th…Ah, are these people your family?”
“Ah… That’s right.”
“I see… Let’s move to the bed in the master bedroom.”
I hurriedly changed the topic and looked down at her family.
[Infection rate: 85%]
[Infection rate: 89%]
[Infection rate: 84%]
A trustworthy middle-aged man presumed to be her father, a warm-looking beauty who looked like her mother, and a woman with a bit of a wild appearance.
All of them had a high degree of infection, and as if to prove that they were infected, they had pretty and wonderful faces and ideal bodies.
“Is this your sister?”
“Huh? Ah, it’s my younger brother. Little sister.”
“I see…”
I nodded and looked down at them once more.
“Eup! Eup!”
“Ughhhhh…!”
My mother and sister looked at me with eager eyes and said something, but I couldn’t understand it because of the gag in their mouth.
For reference, the body was also perfectly bound.
It’s like a person trapped in a narrow barrel.
“…Why did you tie it up like this?”
“I don’t know how to tie people up. So I made them ignorant. Isn’t that better than running around after being freed?”
“Well, that’s the case…”
After moving the three people to the main room, I tried to use purification once again, but nothing happened because it was still on the cooldown.
“Hmm… Big question. Mi-jeong-ah.”
“Huh?”
“Yes? Why? Sister.”
“I’m saying this because I think it would be more active to do something with that time rather than pointlessly killing time, but I want to take care of my overdue homework now.”
“Overdue homework? Did you miss something?”
“Yes…?”
Mijeong Jo and I tilted our heads, and Sojin let out a sigh.
“Did you forget already? You decided to go to the place where the invisible people gathered. To make you pay for your sins.”
“Ah.”
“…Ah!”
“So Mi-jeong, will you guide me?”
“That, that, that…”
“Are you still undecided? Why? Because you feel like you’re betraying them?”
“Ah, that…Yes.”
With her head bowed down, Cho Mi-jung closed her eyes tightly as if it were difficult just to imagine her, and her clenched fists trembled.
“I mean…If you’re serious, there are other ways.”
“Yes yes?”
“Jo Mi-jeong, you represent the other invisible people and receive all the punishment.”
So-jin, who radiated red energy, covered Mi-jung with it.
“That, like that…!”
Moistening her eyes with her frightened face, she hunched her shoulders and trembled.
“Now, wait! Sojin-ah! That’s a little…!”
“You stay still. Pole.”
The cold tone of her face was stern and cold enough to look inorganic.
“Jo Mi-jeong. I’ll give you 10 seconds. Hurry up and choose.”
“Ugh, uh, uh…!”
Eventually her tears began to flow, and she clasped her hands together as she trembled.
“10.”
But whether it was or not, Mo So-jin’s mouth calmly started counting down.
“9, 8, 7…”
“Haha…!”
Cho Mi-jung, whose breathing was rough due to her tension and fear, was experiencing intense conflicts of heart that could be seen even from her side.
“6, 5, 4…”
As the numbers went down, I gritted my teeth and glared at So-jin.
It was my intention to stop her by transforming her if it happened.
Even though I wouldn’t be an opponent, I couldn’t agree with this method anyway.
“3, 2, 1…”
“I-I!”
Right before the count ended, Jo Mi-jung’s mouth opened dramatically.
Opening her tightly closed eyes, she was smiling softly with a sorrowful face.
“I… Will pay for everyone’s sins.”
“Are you serious? Cho Mi-jung. I will never look down on you.”
“Yes, yes…I know. I know everything.”
“…Okay.”
Mo So-jin’s hand reaches for Jo Mi-jung’s head.
For a moment, what came to my mind was Arachne’s head being broken.
That grotesque and horrific sight was still vividly engraved on it as if it had just been seen.
“Mo, Mo So-jin! Stop…!”
My body, which was hurriedly trying to dry, stood tall and stopped.
Mo So-jin’s hand did not break or smash Jo Mi-jung’s head.
On the contrary, he gently stroked it.
“It’s amazing. Mi-jung.”
“Uh, sister…?”
“Before the end, I desperately wanted to meet someone like you…”
Laughing bitterly, she stroked her hair in silence for a while before letting out a sigh.
“I’ll treat the pain and suffering you just went through as ‘the punishment’. Since you’ve already been punished, you won’t be judged any more.”
“Uh, that…”
“But that’s it, and I have no intention of forgiving the invisible men who plundered Daemul’s food. They must pay for what they did. At least, something similar to what you just went through.”
“I’m sorry…!”
Mo So-jin gently hugged Jo Mi-jung, whose face turned white.
“Actually, I’ve already figured out the hiding places of the invisible people. I’m heading to them from now on, would you like to come with me?”
“Yes…? When the hell…?”
“It wasn’t that difficult. As soon as I left, I quickly circled around the city and swept it with my energy, and I was able to find it right away.”
“…It’s amazing. Sister…”
“So, what do you do?”
“Ummm…”
Cho Mi-jeong, sniffing at her dumbfounded face, pondered for a moment, then nodded her head.
“I’m going, I’m going! Just like my big brother said, at least I have to intervene so that they won’t do anything strange.”
“Yes? All right.”
“That… You don’t intend to kill me, do you?”
“It’s not like that. What kind of killer do I look like?”
“Ehehe. No.”
As Jo Mi-jung held her in her arms and acted aegyo, Mo So-jin patted her on the back with her happy face.
“Pole. You have to go too, so get ready.”
“Huh? Me too?”
“Of course. You’re the victim, aren’t you? You shouldn’t see what happens to the perpetrator.”
“Is it really necessary…?”
“Hmm, if you really don’t want to go, feel free to. We’ll figure it out by ourselves.”
No, I don’t like it because it makes me feel a bit alienated.
To be honest, I want to see invisible people being smashed.
“…I’ll go.”
“Hehe. Yes. Well thought out. Then let’s go.”
“Kyaaah!?”
“Oh.”
As her body floated up surrounded by her red aura, Jo Mi-jeong, who let her scream out, hugged Mo So-jin even more tightly.
I only briefly burst into exclamations because I had already experienced it once.
***
“Are you here?”
“Yes. I’m sure.”
“Ugh…That’s great. Sojin unnie. That’s correct.”
Mo So-jin took us to a large commercial building in the center of the city.
“Here.”
To be more precise, it was a bar in the basement of a building.
“I didn’t expect it to be in a place like this…”
Sojin strode down the stairs to the basement, boldly opened the stylishly decorated door and summoned the ‘bud hammer’ at the same time.
“Uh?”
However, Sojin’s face, who entered the room proudly, immediately distorted into embarrassment.
“What’s going on? Huh? Huh? What’s this…”
“Kyaaak!? Oh, brothers? Guys?”
All that could be seen was a corpse.
It is also a corpse that has never seemed to have met a normal death, and is twisted to the extent that the skin and bones are in contact with it.
“What the hell is this…? I’m sure I could feel the active vitality just a while ago, right?”
At Sojin’s words, I also looked around with a serious face.
She said that while she left our house to bring her own family, she went around the city to check the invisible people’s abode.
In terms of time, one of her survivors was annihilated while I shared her powers with her and planted red sunflowers in our house.
In other words, such a monster appeared.
Even, with the power to avoid a sense of exhaustion.
“What the hell do people do to become like this…”
I shook off the simmering reluctance and carefully touched the corpse with sunken eyes. I couldn’t really feel the moisture at all, so it looked like it would crumble with just a little bit of force.
Even mummies, the ancient Egyptian burial method, wouldn’t dry up this far.
“Huuuuu! Oppa! Mister! How the hell did this happen! Why, why did this happen!?”
Jo Mi-jung was sitting around her corpse, wailing loudly, not knowing what to do.
To be able to cry sincerely like that even though they abandoned themselves to the goblins, to be honest, at this point, I have respect for them.
“…Pud deuk!”
“Sojin?”
When I turned to the sound of her gnashing of teeth, I saw Sojin shaking her ‘bud hammer’ with her face distorted like a slash at her chest.
“What kind of… Bastard…!”
“…”
It’s really scary because I’m angry.
Never let her, her, her, her mad.
“Ji, calm down. Sojin-ah. First of all, we have to calm down Mi-jung. Huh?”
“Whoop, whoop…! Damn it!”
Even though she originally came to ‘judge’ the invisible people, her expression as she looked at her corpse was full of guilt, regret, and pity.
“It’s because I, I’m lacking. I should have cleaned the city more, more reliably…!”
“No, it’s not your fault. It can’t be helped.”
“It can’t be helped! My strength and justice! I exist to tolerate that…!”
She screamed so much that her room reverberated, and her eyes widened in surprise.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I took out my anger. I’m really sorry. I can’t control my emotions…”
“It’s okay. I don’t care, so don’t keep it in mind. Rather, let’s go back now.”
“…Okay.”
“Huh…Mijeong-ah.”
“Heuuuuu! Aaaaa…!”
“Mijeong, let’s go back. Huh?”
“Big, big brother…! These people, cars, were kind people…! Even though they stole my brother’s food, no…! They were always kind to me…!”
From my point of view, I thought her ‘standard of goodness’ would be too loose, but I didn’t bother to mention it.
“Yeah…That’s really sad.”
She doesn’t know what else to say, so she just pats her on the back, and she cries even louder and comes to my arms.
“Huuuuu! Oppa, oppa…!”
“Yes, yes. Mi-jeong. It’s okay. It’ll be okay.”
I lifted her up in her arms and she clung to me, entwining her limbs like her koala, burying her face and sobbing.
“…Sojin, let’s go.”
“Whoa…Yes.”
As if she had calmed down a bit now, Sojin radiated red energy with her calm face.
“…”
Just before leaving, I took one last look around the room littered with more than twenty corpses.
The scene of the bar, where there is not even music, harmonizes with the corpse, so it is very dreary.
“Ha…”
The feeling of vividly facing the apocalyptic side of the crazy world was, of course, not that good.
