Episode 56
A chill ran up my spine and I got goosebumps. My heart started beating violently.
Sihyeon briefly wondered several times whether he should shake off the hand and run down the stairs or turn his head to check on the other person.
and then.
‘uh?’
I realized something a little late. Even though the opponent came this close, a warning notification did not appear.
Now that I think about it, I was so startled by the hand on my shoulder that I couldn’t even remember if the other person’s voice was male or female.
“Hey, why are you doing this? It’s embarrassing.”
It was a familiar voice. Sihyeon looked back and looked at the other person’s face with an expression of bewilderment. It was his friend Sang-gyu.
“…is that you?”
“Huh, why? I looked back and saw it was you so I ran over to greet you and why did you react like that?”
Sang-gyu said with puzzled eyes.
Without answering, Sihyeon first checked the people who got off the elevator. Then he glanced down the stairs.
When I found out it was Sang-gyu, I instantly relaxed, but that wasn’t the situation right now. Rather, it was a situation in which she should not have gotten her close friend involved.
Sihyeon bit her lip and decided to just quickly run down the stairs.
“Sorry, I have urgent business right now. I’ll contact you later.”
“Hey! Sihyeon!”
Leaving Sang-gyu’s voice behind, Si-hyeon quickly ran down the stairs.
4th floor.
3rd Floor.
Fortunately, I haven’t encountered any foreign women yet.
It would be nice to go up by elevator.
Second floor.
A warning window appeared before the woman with brown hair came into Sihyeon’s field of vision.
[Warning: A somewhat infamous person has been detected nearby.]
Sihyeon increased his speed even further. If it blocked my way, I planned to just hit it hard and break through.
But there was no crash. She nudged her body out of the way, as if telling him to pass by.
But for some reason, there was an eerie smile on his lips. Sihyeon didn’t care and tried to keep running forward.
Hot.
At that time, I suddenly felt a stabbing pain in my thigh.
‘uh?!’
At that moment, my body suddenly lost strength. It felt like I was suddenly paralyzed. At that time, someone appeared and held Si-hyeon, who was about to lose her balance and fall.
“Oh my gosh, Sihyeon, I drank too much. Come to your senses.”
The voice sounded like he was worried about a close friend.
However, Sihyeon was able to know the other person’s identity right away. This is because a warning window appeared.
[Warning: A somewhat infamous person has been detected nearby.]
That warning window that I really hate to see anymore.
‘… shit. shit. shit.’
Sihyeon regretted it with a dark heart. Because they only focused on the woman, they paid less attention to the front. Moreover, when she looked from the window, there was no company, so she did not expect that the company would suddenly appear.
“Rebecca, I’ll carry this friend on my back. Can you help me carry him?”
“okay.”
The foreign woman’s name seemed to be Rebecca. She walked over and helped the group carry Sihyeon. Since she was in a busy area, she saw people passing by, but she didn’t pay much attention and went on her way. It wasn’t a particularly strange sight in a bar on the second floor.
What’s even crazier is that there is no voice. If this continued, I was in danger of being kidnapped.
Sihyeon was dragged on her back to a black van. There was another person in the driver’s seat. And that ugly warning window appeared again.
Sihyeon was unceremoniously seated in the backseat of the van. He was fortunate not to have been thrown to the floor.
Quang.
The van door closed and Sihyeon was completely kidnapped.
“It’s too easy. One problem solved.”
Jeon Hee-seung, the man who carried Si-hyeon, said as if he was in a good mood.
“How much does the ice snake’s paralyzing poison cost? I’m glad it’s not his. If I had dealt with it all at once, something like this wouldn’t have happened.”
Rebecca grumbled.
If it were an ordinary paralyzing poison, there was no way it would have such an immediate effect. And that too, not to the general public, but to the awakened. It had such a terrifying effect because it was the paralyzing poison of the ice snake, which is of the highest quality among paralyzing poisons. And as effective as it was, it was also expensive, which is why Rebecca complained. For it was she who gave Heeseung a stinger coated with the paralyzing venom of her ice snake.
“Where are we going?”
The man in the driver’s seat, Han Gyeong-jin, asked. He has only kidnapped and has not decided on a destination yet. There were dozens or hundreds of ways to kill a person.
Where and how to kill has not yet been decided. She initially thought she could definitely treat it at home, so her plan suddenly changed.
“Should we go somewhere quiet?”
Heeseung said.
“why?”
Rebecca asked.
“Now that it’s like this, let’s enjoy it by torturing it and then kill it.”
“Really? That’s fine too.”
Rebecca expressed her agreement.
“Do whatever you want, do whatever you want.”
Kyungjin drove the car as they said.
‘These crazy bastards… .’
Sihyeon swore as if her teeth were shaking. As expected, there seemed to be no sane person among the infamous people. Sihyeon tried to somehow move his body.
But no matter how hard I tried, my body wouldn’t move.
What do we do.

What do we do.
What do we do.
Even in a hopeless situation, Sihyeon thought and thought desperately. He was the one who survived even the giant monkeys, which were much stronger than them.
I couldn’t give up in a place like this. No, the choice to give up life did not exist for Sihyeon. That won’t happen until the last moment. I will somehow survive and return home.
Sihyeon decided to read the other person’s information. If he knew the information, he might be able to know his opponent’s identity and find out his weaknesses.
First, he checked the information on Heeseung, who was closest.
[Average Assassin] Name: No. 75 Gender: Male Occupation: Assassin Freedom Level: Average
‘assassin?’
After checking the information, Sihyeon became certain of one thing. As expected, those who are warned that they are notorious figures are very different from ordinary awakened people. These people are extremely dangerous.
Black cross?
Although it was my first time hearing about this organization, I had the feeling that it was an organization that had already exceeded its dangerous limit in that it was an assassination organization with people like this.
The good news is that the prediction that his ability was C-level was correct, but even if he was E-level, there was nothing he could do with his entire body paralyzed like this.
‘Where are the others?’
Sihyeon also read all the information about the remaining humans. It was as expected. Those kites were a gang belonging to a group called Black Cross.
They all had the title of Black Cross’ Nails.
The man in the driver’s seat is number 71, and the woman named Rebecca is number 72.
The grades were all C and the stats were similar. Looking at the skill composition, it was completely specialized in sneak attacks, just like the assassin job.
Sihyeon thought that maybe it could be a thread of hope.
In a head-to-head match, it will be weaker than a normal C-rank. It could have been helpful if a fight broke out when pulling the body out. Of course, it was just a distant possibility now that I couldn’t move my body. And Si-hyeon seemed to know roughly how he was being tracked.
One of Rebecca’s skills was tracking. It seemed like he probably used that to find his location.
‘Damn, it happened anyway.’
Only when the paralysis was lifted could I do anything. However, there is no sign of it being resolved.
They probably knew this too, so they didn’t even bother tying up Sihyeon’s body.
“Step further.”
Rebecca, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said that as if she was dissatisfied with the current speed.
Gyeongjin, who was driving, frowned a little and said, as if he didn’t like that reaction.
“If you’re dissatisfied, you drive.”
“I have complaints, but I don’t want to drive.”
“….”
Kyungjin slowed down as if he was annoyed by her words. The car moved slowly like a turtle.
“I’m sorry. Just keep doing what you’re doing.”
Rebecca apologized in a robotic tone.
Only then did Kyungjin increase the speed of the car again.
“Haam.”
Behind him, Heeseung yawned as if he was tired. Then she closed her eyes and spoke.
“Wake me up when we arrive.”
Even though Sihyeon was next to him, he had a relaxed attitude, as if he didn’t really care.
… Even if my body was fine, I would have broken the window and jumped out.
Sihyeon was so frustrated that she felt like she was going crazy.
“But that person is a prison guard, right?”
Rebecca asked.
“It’s probably right.”
“How bad have you been on a regular basis to earn such a grudge? It seems like you’ve just lived your life. The prisoner must have asked for it, right?”
“But don’t pay attention. All you have to do is kill the claws without even thinking about it.”
Gyeongjin answered in a voice that felt somewhat bitter.
Meanwhile, Sihyeon was greatly shocked by their conversation.
Why didn’t I think of that? Such a stupid idiot… .
I should have known the assassin job the moment I saw it. These were not robbers who killed hunters and robbed them of items, but were literally assassins. Killers who kill people upon request.
then… .
No matter how much you think about it, there is only one client.
Scholarship period.
The person who now holds the biggest grudge against him was Jang Hak-gi. It may be that he has been completely rehabilitated, but he has not yet been rehabilitated. And he was a man in a position where it was quite possible to commission an assassination organization.
I thought wrong.
Jang Hak-gi was a human being who knew that if he killed Si-hyeon, there was a risk that the ability to restrain the surface would never be released. Therefore, Sihyeon expected that he would not be able to do anything that would harm him.
But I missed it. It seemed like the feeling of revenge had pushed out all other emotions.
‘Jang Hak-gi, you bastard… .’
This was the first time that Si-hyeon felt this much anger towards an inmate.
You’ve gone beyond just f*cking the guards and now you’re trying to kill them?
I will definitely return alive. I will come out alive and crush Zhang Hak-gi’s face.
◈ ◈ ◈
The car headed toward Yangju.
Although his body was paralyzed, his eyes were visible, so he could clearly see where Sihyeon was going, but they didn’t care. It felt like they were treating me like I was already dead.
The car passed along a country road for a long time.
I felt like I was going to a remote place. The further I went, the less I could see the people around me. Then, we entered a place where we could see a completely collapsed villa. Behind was a vague mountain. It was truly a remote place that was difficult for humans to reach.
It was a place that smelled just by looking at it. There is no way an assassination organization would have built a place like this simply for recreation. It was clear that the organization had built it to handle work secretly.
“arrive.”
Rebecca looked back at the sleeping Heeseung and said briefly.
◈ ◈ ◈
Sihyeon was forcibly moved to a villa.
It seemed like Gyeongjin was touching the study room on the first floor. Then the floor beneath it opened, revealing a hidden staircase.
‘Secret door?’
I never thought I would actually see something I only saw in movies. As I went down the stairs, I saw a dark underground passage lit by a weak yellow light bulb. After passing several rooms, Heeseung opened the door of one room.
It was a gray room surrounded by dull concrete. There was a chair in the middle, and what looked like shackles or iron chains could be seen around it.
But more than anything, what caught Si-hyeon’s attention was the torture tools scattered everywhere. It was a bloody sight that would make you tremble with fear just by looking at it.
‘Oh shit… Have you seen these crazy bastards? .’
It was a situation that made me curse. Yet, it was extremely gloomy. Because there was no sign of her paralysis going away.
It was a time when Si-hyeon was anxious and did not know what to do.
[Poahim finally can’t stand your crisis and is about to step in. He says he will detoxify you by drinking ‘the tears of the world tree’ whenever you want.]
… A notification of salvation appeared.
