#Episode 86
“As expected, the Master is very generous. Then I will leave right away.”
Jinsong asked the man.
“Have you eaten by any chance?”
“I haven’t had lunch yet.”
“Then would you like to eat together?”
“… … .”
“Why? Would you like to eat a little with me? I eat a lot.”
It was a bit difficult to refuse when he said something like that.
The man stayed true to his role.
For ten years, he has not faltered for even a moment. He has been giving perfect performances. It is the same now. After showing the appearance of a man pondering for a moment at the Master’s regretful words, he reluctantly nodded and continued speaking.
“Let’s do it together. I know a good place. Is the food okay?”
“I’m going crazy. Then shall we go right now?”
So the man and woman got on the elevator.
After pressing the first floor lobby button, Jinsong asked.
“Would you like to take my car?”
“I don’t think I’ll need to take the car. The restaurant is right in front.”
“is it so?”
“yes.”
“If you look closely, our team leader is very dignified.”
“You are too kind.”
“There must be so many women interested in you, so why aren’t you dating?”
“Because of the circumstances, I didn’t have time to date.”
The elevator went down without a hitch. It had already reached the 40th floor from the 80th.
Jinsong asked.
“I was really curious about something. Can I ask you?”
The thought suddenly occurred to me that it was like a cuckoo.
Was Jinsong originally this talkative?
The man nods, leaving the question behind.
The elevator has just reached the 20th floor.
Jinsong asked.
“Did you find the key you were looking for?”
In that moment, the man’s expression hardens.
The corners of his smiling lips lowered. He looked down at Jinsong with an expression that seemed to be filled with a cool breeze. Jinsong tilted his head.
“Why are you looking at me like that? You’re looking at me as if you’re going to kill me.”
“… … How could that be?”
“By the way, you’re called that by the apostles? That’s amazing, our team leader.”
It was certain.
Jinsong knew.
“But now that I think about it, I’m suddenly feeling annoyed. Isn’t the expression you’re making right now the expression I should be making after being fooled for 10 years?”
“… … .”
“Why aren’t you saying anything? You should be doing a lot by now.”
“What does it mean?”
“It doesn’t really mean anything.”
Jin Song-i, who had said that, looked straight ahead as if she had no more regrets.
Oh, wait, there’s one left.
“That restaurant, the Christian in front here, right?”
“… … .”
“I see. Thank you. And take care.”
The man still didn’t understand what Jinsong was saying.
Why is this girl acting like this all of a sudden?
It wasn’t the kind of expression or gesture that someone who noticed a stomach would make.
Why on earth?
That was when.
A ding sound echoes inside.
The elevator arrived at the first floor lobby.
Soon the door opened slowly.
A man stood in front of the open door. He said.
“Don’t you remember?”
It wasn’t an unexpected question.
At least these two men know what this conversation is about. The man standing at the door continues.
“One when you come, ten when I leave.”
Jin Shihou laughed with a creepy expression.
“Let’s get it right first.”
Kwaaaaang-!!
Jin Shi-hoo’s fist landed directly on Yoon Ji-hoo’s face. It went through the elevator and Yoon Ji-hoo’s body flew far backwards.

When Jinsong first heard the story from her younger brother, she felt empty.

To be exact, it was absurd.
Who would have thought that the being they called ‘him’ was so close?
I never even dreamed of it.
That was understandable.
Before his camouflage skills reached a level beyond that of a master, there was already a 200th apostle, a doppelganger of Jin Shihou, around.
It was a very close distance, and if they had been ‘surveilling’ they would have been able to detect every move.
But he’s not some slacker, he’s the leader.
The leader is Team 2 Leader of the Salvation Guild, Yoon Ji-hoo.
It was amazing.
All those times when you were crazy about health and only focused on clearing gates, were just acting.
It was natural to feel disappointed.
At least those in the Salvation Guild who were team leaders were the ones Jinsong truly trusted.
It would have been okay to think of it as an aquarium.
Left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg.
I tapped my watch and sent a message to my brother.
[Are you sure? Really?]
[I’m sure. That guy Asura blew it all up.]
At that moment, I heard in the lobby that Team 2 Leader Yoon Ji-hoo was coming up. And at the same time, my younger brother.
[I’m here in front of the guild, where is he?]
It wasn’t even worth worrying about.
[They’re coming up here now.]
[Is that okay? Should I go now?]
It wasn’t to that extent.
I wanted to have a little conversation.
Because it was clear that he still didn’t know anything.
[Wait in front of the executive elevator on the first floor. I’ll meet you shortly.]
[Okay okay.]
Just then a knock was heard.
“Come in.”
Ji-Hoo Yoon, the leader of the Salvation Guild’s 2nd team, enters.
I locked eyes with him.
Those two innocent eyes were just acting.
I was more dumbfounded than angry.
We chatted casually, and I almost burst out laughing at his request for a vacation.
Shifu said that all the apostles were going into hiding, and I guess this is it.
He readily offered to give me a vacation. Not just a few weeks, but forever.
So I got on the elevator and asked a question.
Let’s think about it.
Why was this man by Jinsong’s side?
At this point, we should consider it certain.
The ‘suitable person’ the apostles are looking for.
There was a high probability that it was Jin Song himself.
The fifth apostle, Cheon Sang, and the man right next to me are both like that.
Jinsong realized.
I had unknowingly stepped onto a large board from which I could no longer step.
There was only one thing I was curious about.
So I asked.
“Did you find the key?”
I was convinced when I saw his hardening expression.
I haven’t found it yet.
Jinsong thought that although he didn’t know what it was used for, the ‘key’ was more important than being suitable.
That’s fine for now.
Because sooner or later this guy will have to tell everything he knows.
The door opened with a ding, and Shi-hoo, who was there, slapped Yoon Ji-hoo in the face.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A huge roar rings out. The entire building shakes. Yoon Ji-hoo’s body flies backwards.
Shihu smiled brightly.
“Are you feeling a little off?”
“It’s not quite at that level. It’s dirty. Who would have thought that a guy like that would be stuck somewhere this close?”
Shihou wasn’t stupid either.
“Asura is like that, but I think that ‘suitable person’ is my older sister. Most of the apostles are sure that it’s my older sister, but why is that?”
“How could I not know that?”
Shifu shrugged.
“Just wait. I’ll find out.”
“Take care.”
Shifu bursts into laughter.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
So Jin Shihou kicked the seat.
Soon a loud noise erupts from the air.
Oh my gosh!!
* * *
It was cold. Yoon Ji-hoo wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and quickly stretched out his arm.
Jin Shi-hoo’s fist and Yoon Ji-hoo’s fist, which had been extending in a straight line, meet.
Kwaaaaang-!!
There was a loud noise and everything in the surrounding area was blown away by the impact. Yoon Ji-hoo asked.
“… … Really… … I’ve felt this way for a while now, but you’re like a beast that doesn’t understand.”
“I’m talking nonsense. This kid, I’ve felt this way for a while now, but he’s got a pretty good sense of humor.”
He just swung his foot.
It was blocked by Jin Shihou’s wrist. He immediately extended his fist. Again, it was blocked by Jin Shihou’s arm. It didn’t matter. He withdrew his fist and extended it again.
Kwaaaaang-!!
One more time.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The noise was huge, but the impact was minimal. Jin Shihou’s wrist was intact, not broken, and he wasn’t even pushed out of his spot.
Yoon Ji-hoo furrowed his brow. Jin Shi-hoo stretched out his leg towards him. Yoon Ji-hoo hurriedly crossed his arms.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Mana fragments and trance fragments exploded into the air. Yun Ji-hoo was pushed backwards in the midst of them.
He raised his head. A shadow fell over Yoon Ji-hoo’s face. It was a fist.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The head is suddenly thrown back. Blood and several teeth burst out.
Yoon Ji-hoo didn’t see Jin Shi-hoo swinging his foot.
Before he could even turn his head.
Kwaaaaang-!!
His body flew backwards. His face was sunken, and blood was pouring out almost like water. At first glance, his wounds were not serious. He crashed into the building on the other side. To be exact, he crashed into the ground of the building and into the underground parking lot.
He reached out and grabbed the wall.
“… … .”
I’m speechless.
Yoon Ji-hoo slowly stands up from his seat. Jin Shi-hoo is walking towards him, step by step, between the piles of dust that have risen up.
His strength is amazing. His reaction speed is also amazing.
Jin Shihou was accustomed to dogfighting and did not use any stereotyped techniques.
All of his movements were instinctive and based on experience.
Yoon Ji-hoo knows how many diagonals one has to overcome to make such a move.
Jin Shihou became like this after only being on Titan for 10 years.
A word flashes through my mind.
‘monster’.
To be honest, Yoon Ji-hoo thought Jin Shi-hoo was a monster.
A monster that should never have been born, that should never have appeared in the world in the first place.
Jin Shihou asked.
“What kind of confidence was that?”
“……what?”
“I spoke to Sujeong-gu back then. He said good luck. I thought he had something going for him, but what is this?”
Seriously, Jin Shihou was annoyed by this situation.
That was understandable.
“There’s not much difference between you and those other guys.”
“… … .”
“I thought you were worth dealing with since other guys still call you that guy, but I guess not. To be honest, Asura, who played with me in the Himalayas earlier, is better than you.”
Jin Shi-hoo took a cigarette out of his bosom and lit it.
He spoke briefly, letting out a small sigh with his mouth still open.
“Come and light some fire.”
“… … .”
“If you come and light it for me, I’ll reduce the number of beatings you’ll get from 10 to 9.”
Yoon Ji-hoo put strength into the hand that was slamming the rock into the wall. With a thud, a pile of rocks came into his hand. He threw it away.
Each and every one of them is a fragment of the Escape Room.
Jin Shihou turned to the side with a strange look in his eyes.
Kwaaaaaaaah-!!
A huge explosion occurs behind Jin Shi-hoo.
It was such an explosion, it was like dozens of missiles had landed.
However, Jin Shi-hoo was not caught in the explosion radius.
At a glance, four or five buildings had collapsed, but no one even paid attention.
Next.
Knock knock knock.
Yoon Ji-hoo’s body began to twist.
Jin Shihou just watched the scene as usual.
Yoon Ji-hoo’s appearance was different from any of the apostles I had seen so far.
He had no horns. He had no wings. He had no nose. How can I explain it?
Should we call it a black human-shaped creature?
Among fantasy comics, there is a comic called Mentaiko Conan.
The criminal that appears there usually appears as a black silhouette, and that’s exactly what it looked like.
