Episode 79
“I really enjoyed the meal.”
After politely greeting the restaurant lady, Jeong-ah headed straight to the locker room.
Almost all of the day shift workers had left work, and the night shift workers had also started work, so the inside of the detention center was quiet.
She lived alone near the Seoul Detention Center.
In order to save on food costs, most of the dinners were prepared within the detention center.
As a result, I got off work about an hour late.
When I changed clothes and came out of the locker room, it was already dark.
It was the beginning of winter, so the days were short.
She walked slowly down the sloping path outside the main gate.
After the escape of death row inmate Kang Tae-eun, the atmosphere at the Seoul Detention Center was not very good.
As employees were taken out in shifts to search for Kang Tae-eun, the remaining employees showed signs of being busy and tired.
It’s been a while since formal dinner parties disappeared.
Even after Kang Tae-eun escaped, there were rumors that he had done something terrible.
She shook her head and tried to shake off her thoughts about Kang Tae-eun.
Thinking about such people until after work was tiring.
Again and again.
She headed towards the bus stop as usual.
It wasn’t originally a crowded place, but today there were no people on the street.
I blinked frantically, wondering if the streetlight that broke down in the middle had yet to be fixed.
I was about to keep walking, thinking that I should file a complaint with Uiwang City Hall.
Suddenly, I felt a strange feeling.
She stopped walking without realizing it.
Then I looked at the large ginkgo tree located on the left side of the road.
It was a tree that was always there.
Nothing has changed.
But why does it feel strange?
For a moment she stopped and stared at the ginkgo tree.
But there was nothing to know.
Eventually she took her steps again.
It was a time when I was lost in thought, ‘Why did I suddenly feel that way?’
“You’re a sharp young lady.”
Suddenly a voice came to my ear.
Startled, she looked back.
But there was nothing.
No traces of people or anything else.
There was only empty space.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
It wasn’t a dream.
It wasn’t an illusion.
The voice was real.
It was definitely real.
With a frightened look on her face, she turned and started running.
“Yeah, yeah. It’s fun when you struggle.”
A voice was heard again.
This time I didn’t even dare to look back and kept running.
person.
I saw a person over there.
help.
I had to ask for help.
“No, no, no.”
“Ugh!”
I felt something invisible covering my mouth.
She struggled, but could not move, as if she had been restrained by a strong force.
“Do you know it’s called acupuncture? It’s a very good technique for disobedient cats.”
puck.
She lost consciousness as a strong force stabbed sharply into the lower part of her back.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Huh… isn’t this place expensive?”
Kangbaek muttered, looking a little intimidated as he looked at the luxurious interior of the restaurant.
This is because, with his lifestyle, he did not usually have to eat at expensive places.
They agreed to drive without a destination and spend time getting some fresh air at Seoul Grand Park.
We spent some time leisurely chatting there and then headed towards Baekun Lake to have dinner.
“Well, it’s a bit expensive for ordinary civil servants.”
Sihyeon said as he opened the menu.
“But how do you know about this place?”
“I’ve been here a few times with my girlfriend.”
“Only with my ex-girlfriend? My current girlfriend must be disappointed.”

“Man, tell me a few times that you don’t have a girlfriend right now.”
“yes yes.”
“….”
Sihyeon flipped through the menu with a puzzled expression on her face.
“For me, Korean beef tenderloin steak. For you?”
“Well, I think the same thing.”
“medium?”
“yes….”
“You don’t need any wine?”
“Brother, you have to drive.”
“I’m not allowed to drink. You are.”
“I won’t drink it either.”
“okay.”
Sihyeon ordered.
After a while, soup and bread were first brought to the table.
Sihyeon said as he broke the bread.
“Eat a lot.”
“yes?”
“I will buy it, so eat a lot.”
“Huh, no, brother. Why are you doing this to embarrass your little brother? Of course you should speak Dutch.”
“I make more money than you. The difference in salary is only a few years.”
I left it out because I haven’t talked about raids yet.
“No, but….”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I don’t live all the time, I only live occasionally, so don’t feel too pressured.”
“If you say that… I’ll enjoy it. This bread is delicious.”
Kangbaek broke the bread in half, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
The expression on his face was as delicious as he said.
He soon put the rest of the bread in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.
“…Okay, okay. Eat well.”
“yes yes.”
“Do you want more bread?”
“yes yes.”
“Here, please give me some more bread.”
Slurp.
Kangbaek ate the soup in the blink of an eye, as if it wasn’t enough to clean his mouth.
“Brother, I’m going to go to the bathroom.”
“Yes, but can I order some wine? While I was eating, I suddenly felt a craving for something to drink….”
“Uh, okay. Do whatever you want. You can order the expensive one, so just choose whatever you want.”
“thank you.”
Kangbaek looked at the menu with bright eyes.
Sihyeon stood up with a smile on his face as he saw that.
As I was passing between tables to go to the bathroom, a window that I had seen for a long time appeared.
It was a warning window.
[Warning: An extremely infamous person has been detected nearby.]
Sihyeon paused without even realizing it.
… whopping?
To some extent, it is C grade.
It’s quite B grade.
At worst, S-class.
So, is it really class A?
That was all I could think of.
If it was just an A-level person, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to it, although it would have been surprising to meet an A-level person in a place like this.
However, he is a notorious person.
In my experience so far, I have never found a notorious person and not been involved with them.
Most of them were tied in the worst way.
[Warning: It is recommended to check the person’s information.]
A message appeared asking me to confirm the information.
Sihyeon glanced at the person the message pointed to out of the corner of her eye.
It was a man who appeared to be in his 40s.
The feeling emanating from his face was that it was as sharp as a knife.
It felt as if someone had forcibly carved it.
Sihyeon first headed to the bathroom.
If you stop for too long, you will attract attention.
Fortunately, the man didn’t seem to be conscious of this.
After doing some business in the bathroom, Sihyeon and I walked slowly on purpose.
It was to quickly check information in the meantime.
As soon as he got within a distance where he could check the information, Sihyeon quickly rolled his eyes and read the information down.
[Excellent Assassin] Name: Black Moon Gender: Male Occupation: Assassin Freedom Level: Famous
‘Black Cross?’
Another black cross?
Holy nimi.
I was about to curse.
Why on earth are these people so damned bad that they can’t get involved with themselves?
Sihyeon returned to her seat, holding her head as if her bones were in pain.
Could it be that we get tangled up again this time?
I hope not, but based on my experience so far, there is a high probability that it will be so.
What kind of business is it this time? .
It was a pain in the ass when the opponent had the same enemy.
It’s not even C grade, it’s A grade.
I was lucky enough to pass over the encounter with S-class Cheonbyeon, but there was no guarantee that it would happen again.
If it was murderous intent rather than hostility, he could have really quit his job.
“Brother, the steak is here. Come eat it.”
Kang Baek, who did not know the English language, said with an expression that he was enjoying the meal.
“Uh, okay. I should have eaten first.”
“Oh, anyway, how are we going to eat the main dish first, bro? Come on, please sit down quickly.”
“okay.”
Sihyeon sat down and took out a notebook and pen.
It was an item I always carried with me as a habit while working as a prison guard.
“What do you think about this?”
Sihyeon wrote something in her notebook and asked with a curious expression.
-The man in white clothes in the back left, let me know right away when he wakes up.
That’s what it said in the notebook.
I intentionally wrote down what I wanted to say and delivered it.
I didn’t have to experience it to know how sensitive the senses of an advanced awakened person were.
That is why it was communicated through other means rather than words.
“…Ah, it’s okay. I think it’s okay.”
Kang Baek, who saw what was written in the notebook, noticed it and tactfully responded.
“Really? Then I’m glad.”
Sihyeon retrieved the notebook again.
Then he picked up the knife.
“Come on, let’s eat deliciously.”
◈ ◈ ◈
I couldn’t fully concentrate on eating.
This was because I was concerned about the man with the black cross behind him.
Unlike before, Kang Baek also ate in a somewhat unnatural manner.
Fortunately, the man didn’t seem to be particularly concerned about this.
Still, I couldn’t relax until the man completely left this place.
And there was something that bothered me.
I don’t know what it is.
I was halfway through eating my steak.
Kang Baek’s expression changed a little.
“How is work?”
Day?
That was enough to understand what was being said.
You woke up.
Sihyeon quietly put down his fork and knife and picked up a cup of water.
Kang Baek also saw this and quietly put down his utensils.
This is because I knew that the vision was likely to occur at any moment.
“It’s okay now that I’m used to it.”
After answering that, Sihyeon drank some water.
“Ah, I see.”
Kangbaek also wet his mouth with water.
“Um… did you finish eating?”
“Oh, I’m full.”
“I’m full too. I guess I ate too much bread earlier.”
“Then will you wake up soon?”
“Yes, of course.”
“I’ll be calculating.”
Sihyeon picked up the bill and got up first.
Then I took a quick look around the store.
The man was seen coming down the stairs.
It was strange.
It was clearly a black cross, but no attention was paid to it.
It was different from before.
It seemed like he didn’t even know who he was.
Sihyeon glanced down through the window while calculating.
The man was heading toward the parking lot.
When I pressed the car key from afar, the lights of one of the parked cars flashed.
Sihyeon quickly checked the car model.
It was a Cadillac black midsize sedan.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a domestic car that was widespread on the roads, so it seemed like it would be easy to distinguish it from a distance.
“Let’s hurry.”
Sihyeon urged Kangbaek.
He intended to follow the man.
I wasn’t sure why I felt this way.
I also knew that it could be dangerous.
However, something unknown bothered me and I couldn’t just ignore it.
I wanted to at least check where I was going.
“I understand, brother.”
Kang Baek answered obediently.
He also had a lot of questions about why Sihyeon suddenly acted like that after seeing that man.
But I also knew that I didn’t have time to answer that question right now.
I had that much sense.
Kangbaek could not hide his curious expression and followed Sihyeon down the stairs.
The man was sitting in the driver’s seat and starting the engine.
Sihyeon’s steps became faster.
If it spread further, we might not be able to track it.
“Get on quickly.”
When the man’s car was halfway out of the parking lot entrance, Si-hyeon and Kang Baek also got into the car.
Sihyeon quickly started the engine.
“depart.”
