He’s the Legendary Guard, Isn’t He? Chapter 80

Episode 78

“Okay.”

Kang Baek, who was climbing the mountain, groaned.

I briefly explored the mountain path in the morning, but it didn’t seem to be of much help as I climbed up at night with only a flashlight on.

They were slowly climbing the mountain path, looking back and forth with a flashlight and tracing their memories.

“It’s because it’s your first time. If you climb it a few times later, you’ll be able to climb it with your eyes closed.”

Sihyeon said that as if to cheer her up.

It was also true.

This isn’t something that will be over in 1 or 2 weeks.

If you keep doing this for a few months, you will get tired of climbing this mountain.

“Whew, but isn’t this completely nonsense? What are the odds of that bastard appearing on this mountain… Isn’t it the odds of being struck by lightning?”

Kangbaek sighed and grumbled.

“It would be fine if we just kept here, but do you know how many people are searching to catch that guy right now? And there aren’t just people out there. These days, most places are covered in CCTV. So, the movements that that bastard can take are very limited.”

What Sihyeon said wasn’t everything.

The police even deployed a drone to track Kang Tae-eun’s whereabouts even from the air.

They are literally carrying out a thorough search.

“No, but why on earth hasn’t he been caught? Is it really true that that bastard committed murder? He didn’t escape to a foreign country? It really seems ridiculous….”

Kang Baek said as if it were absurd.

All eyes were watching and searching for him.

But instead of being trapped and hiding, he is running around committing murder?

Does this make sense?

“I’m curious about that too.”

Sihyeon shook her head.

We walked up slowly, but as we talked, we eventually arrived at the spot we had seen during the day.

It was a place where there was a fork in the mountainside.

If there was only one way, he would have lurked at the beginning of the mountain.

However, when there were multiple hiking trails, if you hid at the beginning, you could only monitor people coming up that way.

However, if you hide at the fork in the middle of the road like you do now, you can spy on all the people trying to pass by.

The fact that the place where the two bodies were found was not at the beginning of the mountain also had an influence on deciding the hiding place.

“There isn’t a single rat.”

Kang Baek muttered.

While climbing the mountain up to this point, I didn’t even see a human shadow.

There was only the sound of birds and insects.

“Now let’s be quiet.”

Sihyeon spoke in a low voice.

I didn’t come here to have fun.

He came to work undercover.

I had no intention of wasting time by fooling around.

The reason I volunteered to take on this task was because I had a premonition that I might find Kang Tae-eun.

So, I planned to take it seriously once I started working.

“I understand, brother.”

Kang Baek also lowered his voice as if he had read the mood.

They hid in as comfortable a position as possible.

It was dark anyway, so there was little chance of being discovered even without special camouflage, such as hiding in the bushes.

How much time has passed?

“…!?”

Sihyeon shook Kangbaek’s body with her hand.

Kangbaek looked at Sihyeon as if asking why.

“I heard a sound.”

Si-hyeon spoke in a low voice, as if whispering into Kang-baek’s ear.

Kang Baek seemed to have not noticed anything at all.

Even though the license was the same as D level, Sihyeon’s stats had already reached C level due to solving the quests so far.

That’s why I was able to feel something that Kangbaek couldn’t.

What sounded like a human voice came from somewhere over there.

Sihyeon got up and quickly ran towards the sound.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Eup!”

The woman struggled with a desperate look on her face.

However, I could not move properly as my body was tied to something. I could only lie on the floor and wriggle, unable to stand up or run away.

I couldn’t scream properly because my mouth was covered with duct tape.

“Hehe. Stay still, bitch.”

A fat man wearing gloves said with a smile.

The fat man looked so happy.

Because the moment I had been waiting for had arrived before my eyes.

Time for revenge.

It was so thrilling.

“You damn bitch, why did you laugh at me? Huh? Why did you laugh at me?”

The fat man spoke in a heated voice as if urging.

The woman cried out in fear and pain.

“I don’t forget, huh? I don’t forget.”

Fat men were the embodiment of inferiority complex.

He thought that everyone in the world was laughing at him because he was fat, had no good looks, and didn’t have a decent job.

That sense of inferiority built up little by little as resentment.

And eventually.

When the accumulated resentment crossed the limit and reached the point where it drove me crazy, I started looking for an object to release it.

So the target I found was the woman in front of me.

A female employee who laughed at me when I went to the local office one day.

Of course, that was a laugh that had nothing to do with him.

He was just obsessed with an inferiority complex and thought it was a joke directed at him.

However, that illusion ultimately led to this situation.

He secretly followed the female employee as if stalking, looking for an opportunity, and when the opportunity arose, he attacked like a wild animal and ended up kidnapping her.

“Hehe. How long have you been waiting for a day like this to come, huh? Do you know?”

The fat man let out a laugh filled with twisted desire, turned on a portable light and placed it on the ground, shining it in the woman’s direction.

Lighting was important for what was going to happen.

It was very important.

Then the fat man got on the woman’s back.

As the heavy weight pressed down on her torso, the woman could no longer move.

The woman’s face turned pale from fear and despair about the terrible things that would happen in the future.

The fat man who saw this stuck out his tongue and grinned.

“Bitch, didn’t I curse at you for being fat? Did you laugh at me? Did you laugh at me for saying I was smelly? Did you laugh at me for saying I was dirty because I was sweating!”

“Eup, eup!”

The female employee struggled with a white face, but was unable to escape the fat man.

It was at that moment that the fat man moved his hand to tear off his clothes.

“그만해라, 이 개새끼야!”

Suddenly, a man’s voice came from somewhere.

The voice was full of anger.

“Hey, who, who is it?”

Even the fat man seemed startled by the sudden sound.

“Ugh!”

The woman tried to scream through the duct tape as if she desperately wanted help.

“Get up now, you bastard.”

The sound came from behind.

The fat man turned his head with a nervous look.

His gaze met the eyes of a man in a winter jumper.

The man was a visionary.

The fat man’s head turned quickly.

The other person was clearly showing strong hostility toward him.

It was an enemy.

An enemy that must be eliminated.

However, it did not seem like an easy enemy.

There was a sword in my arms, but it felt like an enemy that I couldn’t guarantee I could get rid of even if I pulled out the sword.

then.

The fat man quickly pulled out a knife, wrapped his arms around the woman’s neck, and placed the blade under her chin.

“I’m coming, don’t come, this baby! If you move a step, two years die!”

“Eup!”

The fat man’s gaze focused on Sihyeon.

He had a threatening look in his eyes as if he would take his life away if he moved even a little.

Then the vision stopped in place.

He didn’t even open his mouth.

Thinking that his threat had worked, the fat man rubbed his chest.

First of all, I succeeded in taking control of the situation.

So, in order to get out from now on… .

“You bastard! From now on… gagging?!”

Whoa!

I heard the sound of a watermelon breaking.

Cheer up.

I could also hear the sound of a knife falling to the floor.

With that, the fat man fell sideways.

Before he knew it, Kang Baek had sneaked up from behind and punched the fat man in the back of the head with all his might.

Kangbaek couldn’t control his emotions and fumed.

“All these beastly bastards should have their dicks cut off.”

“I agree.”

Sihyeon said.

s*xual assault is a very bad crime that ruins another person’s life in order to satisfy one’s own pleasure.

Moreover, this time it almost led to murder.

Fortunately, he and Kang Baek were around, so it was a disaster. Otherwise, he would have experienced something so miserable that it is difficult to describe it.

“Kangbaek, report it to the police right away.”

Sihyeon said that and took off the jumper and handed it to the victim.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Wow, I never even dreamed something like that would happen from day one?”

After that incident, Kang Baek’s expression changed.

He seemed dissatisfied with working undercover in the mountains, but after saving a woman who was about to be s*xually assaulted, he seemed to feel a sense of pride that he couldn’t feel while working as a prison guard.

He said it was the first time he had ever received such a sincere thank you from someone.

Of course, Sihyeon felt fortunate and rewarded.

“That’s right. When you look at things like that, fate is truly strange.”

“Why the sudden fate?”

“I just thought so.”

If it weren’t for the awakened person lurking in that mountain, and in fact a C-rank himself, he might not have been able to prevent the incident.

For that woman, it was truly a fateful salvation.

“Oh, by the way, it’s finally a holiday. Where are you going?”

Kang Baek said.

Their work pattern was to work undercover from Monday to Saturday and rest on Sunday.

It was said that there is a separate person in charge only on Sundays.

Thanks to this, I came down after working undercover on Saturday, took a nap, woke up, and was lazily rolling around in my dorm for the first time in a long time.

It was already Sunday day.

After sleeping and relieving some of my fatigue, I felt like I wanted to go somewhere.

“Why? Where do you want to go?”

Sihyeon asked.

“Well, I don’t really have a place like that, but it’s frustrating to be indoors.”

“Okay, I understand. Let’s go out first. Let’s leave without deciding on a destination.”

Sihyeon also had no intention of staying in the dorm forever.

“Good.”

Kang Baek answered in a voice that seemed to be in an excited mood.

◈ ◈ ◈

I felt dizzy.

This is because it has been a long time since I have eaten.

It wasn’t a meal that killed the man.

It was nothing more or less than the act of scavenging and eating trash to survive.

female.

Killing a woman was the only meal.

I couldn’t wait to experience that ecstatic feeling that refreshingly slides down my mouth and fills my stomach with satisfaction.

It’s been a while.

It’s been too long.

So I decided.

We decided to eat today.

At that time, a man named Baekwol, who was a thorn in their eyes, had also gone to Japan.

There can never be a more appropriate time to eat.

“Whoa….”

Kang Tae-eun, who was sitting on a street bench, let out a long puff of cigarette smoke, threw the butt on the floor, and rubbed it with her shoe.

There is still sun.

It’s not time to move.

Once the sun went down and darkness fell, no one would be able to catch their movements.

I was planning to wait until then.

Kang Tae-eun glanced at the clock and closed his eyes.
