Episode 88
Sweet.
There was the sound of turning the door handle.
Baekwol felt that the rhythm of the knob turning was different from usual.
The woman he knew always had a habit of turning the doorknob in a certain rhythm.
But today the rhythm was a little off.
The door opened and a blonde woman dressed all in black came in as if she had attended a funeral.
It was a disaster.
Baekwol bowed politely and greeted.
Cheonbyeon nodded as he received the greeting and went to the chair and sat down with his legs crossed.
“Are you sure you don’t know?”
Cheonbyeon asked.
Since Black Moon’s death was such a serious matter, White Moon immediately reported it to Cheon Byeon.
And as soon as she finished her work, she came to Korea.
“Yes, it really seemed like no one knew. I carefully checked and re-checked it several times.”
Baekwol answered.
“Are you sure he doesn’t know either?”
“I don’t know that. Cheonbyeon told me not to approach him carelessly, so I didn’t attach anyone or search for him.”
The person Cheonbyeon was referring to was a vision.
From the moment she thought she had discovered Sihyeon’s identity, she warned Baekwol not to approach her carelessly.
Baekwol faithfully followed the instructions.
“hmm.”
Cheonbyeon crossed his legs, narrowed his eyes, and was lost in thought.
The Korean government doesn’t seem to know anything… .
Baekwol was a servant with sufficient ability to be trusted.
It is probably true that he checked carefully.
And if the Korean government knew that Kang Tae-eun’s hidden identity was Black Moon, there would be no way for the Korean government to remain quiet like this.
There must have been a reaction somehow.
So does this mean that it really happened by coincidence?
“I don’t know.”
Cheonbyeon muttered while leaning against the backrest.
If the Korean government didn’t know, there was a high possibility that Sihyeon wouldn’t know either.
If Si-hyeon knew that Kang Tae-eun’s identity was Black Moon, there would be no reason to keep quiet.
At our last meeting, we exchanged our wishes to maintain an amicable relationship, but that doesn’t mean it’s an oath that must be kept.
If you knew Kang Tae-eun’s identity, no fool would have known that Black Cross was involved in his escape.
If Sihyeon was a member of the government, it was normal for her to report that fact to the government.
This is because helping a serial killer on death row escape was an act that went far beyond the acceptable line.
But he didn’t.
So, is it really true that they ran into Kang Tae-eun by chance and killed her without knowing her identity?
“Coincidence, coincidence. Coincidence?”
Cheonbyeon muttered as if asking himself.
It happened that there was a vision near the place where Black Moon was planning to commit murder.
She thought that behind the word “coincidence” there was mostly hidden cause and effect.
But in this case, something hidden was not visible.
Baekwol remained silent and waited for her to finish thinking.
After some time, Cheonbyeon opened his mouth again.
“White Moon.”
“yes.”
“Bury the Black Moon incident.”
Even if he didn’t die after being caught by Sihyeon due to a ridiculous misfortune, Blackwol could still be active without any hesitation.
This was possible because his face had completely changed.
However, when he died, his fingerprints revealed that he was Kang Tae-eun.
Originally, the death of a person at the level of Black Moon was an incident that the organization could not just ignore.
Sometimes it was necessary to set an example of what would happen if the Black Cross character was messed with.
Only then will the organization’s name become a name that inspires fear.
In addition, not ordinary members of the organization, but only 10 special assassins, each of whom was precious, were killed.
But this time things were different.
The Korean government didn’t know that it was a black moon, but it wasn’t good for them to get in trouble for no reason.
Then it became known that it was Black Cross who made the death row inmate escape.
Moreover, the opponent was definitely not an easy person.
No, he was a person whom I hesitated to touch unless I made great determination.
“All right.”
Baekwol answered without hesitation.
From the beginning, his thoughts were like a decision made by heaven.
The thoughts leading up to that conclusion were just different.
Black Moon was a human being who repeatedly violated Heaven’s orders to refrain from killing for personal reasons.
The one who met his end was the result of an attempt to commit a personal murder to satisfy his desires.
There was no reason for an organization to step forward and do something about the death of such a human being.

“Okay, go do your work.”
Baekwol lowered his head and disappeared like a ghost.
◈ ◈ ◈
Sihyeon informed another person about to be released about Yangji Guild.
I felt like a troublesome person preaching religion on the street.
No, is he closer to the leader of a religious group?
I felt like I knew what it felt like as the number of believers increased one by one.
Every time the number of guild members increases, I feel reassured and proud.
The Yangji guild has now grown in number and is now able to take on the appearance of a guild.
Of course, there were still only a little over 10 people, and most of them were D and E classes, but the number of C classes was expected to increase little by little in the future.
Then, it will definitely become a better guild than a small guild.
But Sihyeon’s goal was not that far.
Class B and Class A.
That was where Sihyeon’s eyes looked.
Only with such a high-level hunter could the guild build the proper power that Sihyeon desired.
And in order to do that, it was necessary to somehow work in the Sadong where B-class or higher hunters were imprisoned.
It might have been difficult if I had continued to work flat.
But fortunately, I made a big contribution this time, raised my rank, and made a good impression on the major general.
This would be a great help in getting assigned to the desired work location.
“Chief Lee, I’m going to go get some supplies.”
As I was walking towards the office, the person in charge came out and said that.
The current chief in charge and his deputy, Si-hyeon, had a strange relationship.
The rank was the same, and the senior officer in charge had been there for a long time.
He was also old.
But this time, Si-hyeon was scheduled for special treatment.
A burden that will soon be one level higher than you.
Even when Sihyeon thought about it, he could guess the awkwardness of the person in charge.
From Sihyeon’s perspective, all she had to do was work as usual and be polite.
In any case, even if one’s rank rose, it was common to respect older subordinates.
But from the person in charge’s perspective, that wasn’t the case.
Of course, it was not at all that the person in charge treated me with the usual courtesy.
However, the person in charge is in a position where he or she has no choice but to give instructions to the person in charge.
However, Sihyeon soon rises in rank.
It is natural that you have no choice but to be more careful than usual, and you are quite hesitant to give instructions.
Even now, he is saying that he will go to receive the goods.
Normally, he would have given instructions to Sihyeon.
“I will come.”
Sihyeon said that out of politeness, but she knew there was no need to say that.
“It’s okay. I’m going to run some errands at the office on the way.”
“I see. I understand. Have a nice trip.”
The person in charge went out of the compound.
Sihyeon, who was left alone, sat back in his chair.
It’s already 4pm.
The day was almost over.
Sihyeon closed her eyes.
Even if you didn’t pay too much attention, Sadong didn’t have any problems.
This is because it is no exaggeration to say that Sadong’s acceptance order, controlled by iron-blooded guards, was perfect.
Sihyeon, who had closed his eyes and was resting for a while, suddenly opened them again.
‘Come to think of it… ‘Is everything okay?’
After Kang Tae-eun died, there was one thing that bothered me.
It was a black cross.
He has already killed two C-class assassins.
And although he did not directly kill the A-class assassin named Black Moon, he was in the middle of circumstances that made it seem like that.
Because he asked to remain anonymous, his real name was not published in the media, but with the information power of an organization similar to the Black Cross, there was no way he would have known that his supervisor was him.
But it was strangely quiet.
Of course, it was best if nothing happened. I think it’s strange.
There was no way to know the exact reason.
I could only guess that it was because he mistakenly thought he was some kind of S-class awakened person.
In any case, it seemed certain that he had incurred a great deal of resentment against the organization called Black Cross.
It is only natural that we continue to encounter bad relationships.
It was strange.
Sihyeon did not want to become entangled with Black Cross until he became stronger.
Just like cows watching chickens, I wanted to live without any problems.
But strangely, I kept getting tangled up.
“It’s absurd. It’s absurd.”
Sihyeon closed her eyes again.
◈ ◈ ◈
He was on death row.
And today was the execution day.
After my last meal in the morning, I even wrote my will.
I tried to empty my mind and be as calm as possible, but my fear and trembling did not subside.
The execution bus would soon arrive.
The prison where Zheng Xiong was imprisoned was small and did not have an execution room.
The execution is carried out by drug injection on an execution bus.
Originally, it was a firing squad, but in response to criticism that it was overly cruel and inhumane, the Chinese government changed the law to execute civilians by drug injection.
However, what came was not an execution bus, but a black car with tint so dark that the inside could not be seen at all.
The guards forced Zheng Xiong, who was handcuffed and tied to a rope, into a car.
“Uh, uh, where are we going?”
Zheng Xiong asked in a severely trembling voice.
“You are going to the execution site, so keep your mouth shut.”
The guard said that and closed the car door.
A man who appeared to be a police officer sitting in the back seat handcuffed Zheng Xiong.
This was to prevent any possible escape.
Then he covered his eyes with a black cloth.
“Uh, over there….”
“shut up.”
The police officer said with cold eyes.
Zheng Xiong kept his mouth shut.
I heard that on the day of the execution, the condemned inmates were treated kinder than usual.
It was the last consideration for someone who would die soon.
But today there was something strange about the atmosphere.
The car started.
Because my eyes were covered, I couldn’t tell where I was going.
I couldn’t even tell how much time had passed.
Since I couldn’t see ahead, my fear of impending death grew.
With his trembling body, Zheng Xiong was restless.
I felt nauseous and felt like throwing up.
How long has it been?
The car stopped.
The police took Zheng Xiong down.
And guided him somewhere.
It seemed like I walked for quite a long time.
Squeak.
“Go in.”
The police officer pushed Zheng Xiong in with the handcuffs removed and even the rope released.
widely.
I heard the door close again.
Once his body was free, Zheng Xiong first took off the cloth covering his eyes.
Vision slowly came back.
I looked around first.
It was a space entirely surrounded by dull-colored walls.
It was more like a warehouse than could be called a room.
“uh?”
Zheng Xiong discovered that there was a person there.
There was a man sitting against the wall over there.
He got up and slowly walked towards Zheng Xiong.
As the distance got closer, I recognized him as a young man.
He was looking at Zheng Xiong with a longing gaze.
“Um, hey… who are you?”
Zheng Xiong asked, stuttering.
“The one who will kill you.”
The moment the man spoke briefly, Zheng Xiong’s eyes widened.
◈ ◈ ◈
“…It’s not enough.”
said the man.
“It’s not enough. It’s not enough. It’s not enough!”
The man’s voice grew louder and louder, and he eventually shouted.
Next to him was a brutally mutilated body.
The corpse was called Zheng Xiong when he was alive.
Squeak.
The door opened and someone cautiously entered.
It was public safety.
The police carried Zheng Xiong’s body away, paying close attention to the man.
It was for makeup.
If you are cremated, no evidence will remain.
Since he was a death row inmate with no relatives and no relatives, cremating him would literally be like evaporating from this world.
Squeak.
The door opened again.
But this time, it was a carefree step, as if there was nothing to worry about.
The person who came in was a tall, handsome man with a smiling face.
“Master Bayan, why are you so upset?”
The man said, glaring.
Bayan.
The man who killed Zheng Xiong was Bayan, a cotton ball technician.
He was also a man who had a bad relationship with Sihyeon.
He was almost always hungry for the urge to kill.
It was close to impossible to bear it.
So, they periodically smuggled out death row prisoners to satisfy their desires.
This was possible because Bayan’s father was a high-ranking Communist Party official and the head of the Hunter Association.
“Kasir, are you here to tease me?”
Bayan responded in an irritated voice.
They called each other not by their real names but by names from the other world.
And I liked that name a lot more.
Because of this, people around them also called them by their otherworldly names, not their real names.
“No, I’m just curious.”
Kasir said without changing his smiling face.
He almost always looked like that.
“…Curious? Kasir, you know well, right? f*ck, this isn’t enough.”
“Haha, I know it well. Don’t know it.”
“If you know so well, why don’t you just leave without irritating me?”
“No, no. You shouldn’t sound so heartless. I came here because I wanted to help.”
“You want to help?”
Bayan looked at Kasir with puzzled eyes.
“That’s right. I’m planning to go to South Korea this time.”
Kasir did not call Korea Korea or South Korea, but South Korea.
He was still treating Korea as a vassal state rather than an equal country.
“in korea?”
Bayan’s eyes lit up.
“That’s right. But I heard that Master Bayan has some connection with South Korea. That’s why I came.”
“There are. There are people I really want to kill.”
Until that incident in Korea, Bayan had never failed to kill the people he wanted to kill.
However, due to Lin Xue’s interference in Korea, it failed absurdly.
These insignificant people, no bigger than ants, were so lucky that they survived.
I was so angry that I couldn’t kill them over time that I couldn’t stand it.
I wanted to go right away and slaughter them one by one.
But I couldn’t do that because Lin Xue was watching me.
My father also seemed to be conscious of Lin Xue and told him to restrain himself.
So, I kept my growing anger inside my heart.
But Kasir happened to mention that incident.
“Then we should go. Shouldn’t we?”
Kasir said with a smile.
“I want to do that. I want to, but Lin Xue….”
Bayan trembled unconsciously and trailed off.
A monster-like woman who read the memories of a dead body, smashed the entrance to a closed gate, and came inside.
I had been magically treated by that woman right before my death, and fear was engraved deep in my bones.
Now, just thinking about Lin Xue makes me cringe.
“No, what am I worried about? I’m scared of Lin Shu. She’s a scary woman. But I went on a trip to New Zealand and somehow she knows what’s going on in South Korea.”
“If I find out later….”
“Are you really going to handle things that sloppily?”
“Oh, no… that’s not it…”
“Let’s go together, little girl.”
Kasir spoke again.
Bayan’s heart began to weaken.
The fear of Lin Xue did not subside, but the desire to kill those Korean bastards was too great.
When I thought about killing them, my heart pounded with intense excitement.
“…Okay, let’s go. Let’s go.”
