Episode 82
“Huhuhuhhh…!”
For a moment, Kang Tae-eun’s face turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost.
Then he sat down, as if his legs had lost all strength.
“Ma, ma, that’s right… That’s right. Sa, death row inmate… death row inmate… I’m a death row inmate… death row inmate….”
Kang Tae-eun barely managed to speak in a severely trembling voice.
Sihyeon looked satisfied when she saw that.
Up until now, even though he looked oppressed, he had held on until the end when asked if he was on death row, but in the end he ended up confessing his truth with his own mouth.
As expected, the iron-blooded jailer exuded the energy of a maniacal executioner, and it seemed that no matter how advanced the awakened person was, he could no longer endure as a death row inmate.
“You should have answered that way a long time ago.”
Sihyeon said that and took a step closer to Kang Tae-eun.
“Huh…!”
Then, Kang Tae-eun was startled and started crawling backwards while sitting down.
It was a desperate gesture to somehow widen the distance.
Kang Tae-eun’s whole body was shaking like an aspen tree, as if she had seen the Grim Reaper come to get her.
The sight was so comical that it could not even be considered the actions of a cruel killer who did not even blink at killing people.
“stop.”
Sihyeon said.
“yes yes?”
“Can’t you hear me tell you to stop?”
As Si-hyeon’s tone became a little stronger, Kang Tae-eun’s body froze in place as if it had been made of ice.
“I can hear it! I can’t hear it. I was trying to stop it now! It’s so bad!”
“okay?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Okay, let’s just pretend I’m fooling you once. Come back to work right away.”
Sihyeon lifted his finger.
As soon as the words fell, Kang Tae-eun began to move his body hurriedly.
But the movement was bizarre.
Instead of walking or running, it was crawling awkwardly as if it were a four-legged animal.
Seeing that, Sihyeon laughed as if it was absurd.
“Hey, you bastard. Are you kidding me? Why are you crawling like this?”
“Yes, four? Well, then how?”
Kang Tae-eun blinked his frightened eyes and asked in a cautious voice.
Seeing that, Sihyeon laughed again.
“…No, that’s enough. Just come, come.”
“Yes, four!”
Sihyeon took his eyes off Kang Tae-eun, who was crawling back, and looked at the kidnapped woman lying on the floor with her back facing her.
“Hmm.”
Sihyeon slightly averted her gaze at the embarrassing sight of her underwear underneath.
It didn’t look like he was particularly tied up, but he seemed like he couldn’t move his body.
It looked like he had done something with his hand.
Sihyeon put the woman’s skirt back on, paying attention to her gaze.
Meanwhile, Kang Tae-eun arrived.
He was looking up at Sihyeon with frightened eyes.
“wake up.”
“yes!”
Kang Tae-eun barely managed to get up with strength in her shaking legs.
My whole body was shaking, as if a typhoon was blowing and I was about to collapse at any moment.
“You said he was a death row inmate, right?”
Sihyeon asked.
“Yes, yes!”
“How can a death row inmate be outside?”
“Escaped… escaped.”
“From which country?”
Sihyeon thought that he was not of Korean nationality.
The place where he works is a special detention center where only awakened people are gathered.
However, I had never heard of a death row inmate escaping.
So, I assumed that Black Cross members from other countries had come to Korea.
Being fluent in Korean was no problem considering there was an item with an interpretation spell.
However, Kang Tae-eun’s answer was unexpected.
“Han, it’s Korea….”
“what?”
Sihyeon looked like he had heard something strange.
If such an awakened person, especially a death row inmate, escaped from a special detention center, the world would be in an uproar, but I have never heard of such a story anywhere.
But Korea?
In this situation, you would never tell a lie, so it must be true.
But then, there’s something I don’t understand… No, wait.
A thought passed through Sihyeon’s head.

“Perhaps you?”
“yes yes?”
“Are you Kang Tae-eun?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Holy Nimirl.”
… Is that what happened?
Sihyeon frowned.
When I heard the identity of the guy, all the threads began to unravel.
Although the odds of being struck by lightning are so slim, I remembered seeing somewhere that there are rare cases of inmates serving sentences for a crime awakening.
Since nothing like that has happened in Korea yet, I thought it was an overseas topic that only happens overseas… Could it be that Kang Tae-eun was like that?
That’s not just an awakened person, but a Black Cross awakened person.
I thought the abilities of the helper who was supposed to be helping Kang Tae-eun escape were beyond imagination, but when I found out that it was Black Cross, I automatically became convinced of such abilities.
furthermore.
Sihyeon looked intently at Kang Tae-eun’s face.
The face was completely different from the one on the wanted leaflet.
It looked like it had been completely repaired through plastic surgery or something.
So even if so many people search, they won’t be able to find it.
“Huh, I’m so dumbfounded. Is something like this possible?”
“….”
As Si-hyeon continued to frown, Kang Tae-eun just watched in silence.
I guessed that the situation was going badly for me, but I didn’t even dare to think about running away.
“Kang Baek.”
Sihyeon looked behind him and called out to Kangbaek.
“yes?”
“This kid is Kang Tae-eun. Isn’t this ridiculous?”
“yes?”
As Sihyeon said, Kangbaek looked astonished.
That was because the other person was a man with a completely different face.
Moreover, he was an awakened person, not an ordinary person.
It was natural for him to make that kind of expression after hearing something out of the blue.
“Do you want to come over here first?”
“Yes? Ah, yes, brother.”
Kangbaek approached where Sihyeon was.
As he approached, he glanced at Kang Tae-eun with an observing eye.
Is that person really Kang Tae-eun?
It was hard to believe easily.
“Why did you call me, brother?”
When we arrived at the place where Sihyeon was, Kangbaek said.
“Uh, this woman… Oh, really.”
As Sihyeon was about to say something, he made a face like he remembered something he had forgotten.
“Hey, Kang Tae-eun.”
“yes!”
“What did you do to this woman?”
“I kidnapped….”
“No, what did you do that makes you unable to move?”
“Point blood….”
Point blood.
I heard that some awakened people have a technique that uses divination to immobilize an opponent, but this was my first time seeing it in person.
“Release it now.”
Sihyeon spoke as if giving instructions.
“Yes, four!”
Kang Tae-eun quickly bent down and removed the woman’s acupuncture points.
Then, a moment later, the woman’s body moved.
I put my hands on the ground and tried to get up slowly, but I couldn’t get up easily.
My whole body was shaking.
Tears were still flowing from my tear-filled eyes.
He suddenly experienced something so shocking that he still seemed to be in a state of panic.
“Kang Baek, please help calm this woman down.”
Before Sihyeon said those words, Kangbaek was already approaching the woman.
It was not my first time encountering a deeply traumatized woman, as I had saved a woman from almost being s*xually assaulted during my first undercover assignment.
Before helping her, Kang Baek tried to calm the woman down by first talking to her.
“Rest assured, there will never be any more danger. As long as you and me are here, that vicious son of a bitch won’t be able to do anything.”
“….”
She couldn’t answer readily and looked at Kang Baek with trembling eyes filled with tears.
Although my body couldn’t move, my ears were open, so I could roughly understand what was happening.
That the newly appeared men saved him.
However, since it was right after something like that happened, it was difficult to calm down and speak out.
“Don’t worry, just calm down. I’ll report it to the police right away.”
“…thank you.”
The woman barely managed to strengthen her neck to answer.
Meanwhile, Si-hyeon dragged Kang Tae-eun to a corner.
A victim who has almost been s*xually assaulted may experience great psychological shock when she sees the offender.
It was both to prevent it in advance and also for interrogation.
I planned to avoid getting involved with Black Cross as much as possible until I gained full strength.
That is why, even though there was an assassination attempt, it was not reported to the police.
Because I thought that if I did that, I might be targeted again.
And perhaps that judgment was correct, and from then on, nothing much happened and it was quiet.
But today something like this happened.
When I killed two C-rank assassins, I somehow got through it.
But this time the story was a little different.
Sihyeon looked at the status window of Black Moon.
A phrase about being one of only 10 top assassins.
That meant that Black Moon was an important member of the organization that could not be compared to the C class.
Capturing such an A-class assassin again and putting him to death?
It was obvious what Black Cross would think if they knew that.
First of all, I was planning to ask the Special Investigation Headquarters to keep my identity secret.
But basically Si-hyeon did not believe them.
It is hard to believe that our country’s institutions, which cannot properly protect the identity of whistleblowers or criminal reporters, will protect such secrets.
Anyway, I was planning to dig up at least some information about what happened.
The story was different from the time when Han Yi-seol’s younger brother was being interrogated.
Since he was not a prisoner at the time, his abilities did not work.
So I couldn’t delve into the banned part at all.
However, Kang Tae-eun was a death row inmate, so his abilities worked well.
This time, I think I might be able to break through even the part of the organization that is banned.
That’s because the Iron Blood Guard’s coercive power was beyond imagination.
“Kang Tae-eun.”
“yes!”
“Where have you been hiding all this time?”
“Blah… I was at Black Cross’s hideout.”
“Hideout. Where is the location of that hideout?”
It was a question I didn’t get an answer to last time.
But it was clear that this time would be different.
Sihyeon’s eyes lit up and he waited for an answer.
“Ah, the location of the hideout is… The location is… Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Kang Tae-eun, who was about to answer with a timid expression, suddenly screamed loudly.
Then he clutched his head and rolled around on the ground in pain.
His face, completely distorted in pain, and his violently convulsing body showed how much pain he was in.
What kind of pain is enough to make an A-class awakened person suffer like this… ?
Sihyeon was also embarrassed and looked blankly at Kang Tae-eun, who was rolling around in pain.
“Aaaah! Up, the location… The location is… Aaaaaah! The location is… Aaaaaah!”
The moment I tried to answer the location of the hideout, it felt like a crazy pain came over me.
This is why it seemed like it was wrong to find out the correct information this time.
“Brother? What’s going on?”
Kang Baek was surprised when he heard Kang Tae Eun’s scream and came running.
It was a heart-piercing scream that made those who heard it feel pain, so it was worth it.
“Is that… huh?”
Kang Tae-eun, who was screaming, suddenly became quiet at some point.
The eyes were completely turned over and the whites of the eyes were visible.
Foam flowed out of his weakly opened mouth.
At first glance, it looked like something was not in good condition.
Sihyeon quickly approached Kang Tae-eun and checked her condition.
I checked his breathing and checked if his heart was beating.
Then he muttered as if it was absurd.
“What a piece of shit….”
“Maybe something happened…?”
“He’s dead.”
Sihyeon made a bitter expression.
