<[Episode 18] Albakgi (4) 〉
Although there were only a few dozen of us, taking over Homeplus was not difficult.
It was thanks to the fact that there were vampires hiding among them and that the vassals easily subdued them.
People came out of the Homeplus building under the control of their masters and gathered at a wide intersection, and in the center of them, nineteen vampires were kneeling, growling like beasts.
Since I couldn’t go outside of Homeplus, which had not been built yet, I went up to the rooftop and looked down at the view.
I lifted the megaphone and opened my mouth.
[iced coffee-]
People’s eyes began to gather one by one towards the rooftop.
After I finished testing the microphone, I started giving my speech to them in earnest.
[Hello, everyone.]
My voice filled the street through the megaphone.
Then, the gazes of the remaining citizens who had been looking at the vampires all turned to me.
[As some of you may have noticed, they are vampires hiding among you.]
The eyes of those who had actually been almost attacked by a vampire and those who had watched the scene from nearby shone menacingly.
Everyone here had a deep-rooted hatred for vampires.
This is because most of those gathered here have experienced their family members or acquaintances dying at the hands of vampires.
It was inevitable that he would become angry when he heard that the vampires were hiding their identities and pretending to be his colleagues.
“These traitors!”
“I will kill you with my own hands!”
“Kill him!”
Several of them rushed towards the vampires with ferocious momentum, but they were all stopped by Jang Seong-jun’s psychic powers.
A-class telekinesis, whose proficiency has greatly increased over time, has easily stopped dozens of people.
“Mr. Kim is a vampire? Is that true?”
“Looking at that reaction, it seems like he wasn’t talking nonsense. He suddenly tried to bite the people next to him.”
“Wait a minute, now that I think about it, I have a guess! Last time…”
Although many people were still skeptical, it was nearly impossible for a dozen vampires to hide among a group of survivors without leaving a trace.
“What? That happened?”
“I’m telling you, it’s true! At the time, I thought I was mistaken, but now that I think about it, if that kid is a vampire, then everything fits perfectly!”
“…F–k.”
“What’s wrong? Do you have any idea?”
“…Do you know what happens if you sleep with a vampire?”
“
44
“You’re not moving, are you?”
As testimonies emerged here and there, people gradually became more certain of the vampires’ true identity.
“Where did the team leader go?”
“Did you hear that rumor? The team leader was a vampire too.”
“Team Leader Shin Jeong-min? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
There was no need to tell everyone everything.
Because it could only cause unnecessary confusion.
“But who are they?”
“I don’t know. Aren’t you from headquarters?”
“Well, how could they have that many guns if they weren’t part of headquarters?”
“The headquarters staff are amazing. How did they take out all those vampires in one go?”
Before we knew it, we had become part of the headquarters of the Sports Complex Group in people’s minds.
[They cleverly infiltrated the organization by pretending to be ordinary people in the front, and then revealed their true colors and took the lives of innocent people.]
The voices of the angry public erupted here and there.
[We have come to expose their sins to the world and punish them.]
When the quick-witted people realized why they were gathered here, they began to voice their desire for the execution of the vampires.
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!”
Under their leadership, the voices of those calling for the death of the vampires were growing louder.
There were no people with enough emotion to feel sorry for the death of vampires who lived off human blood.
Everyone here has suffered too many deaths for that to happen.
It’s because of the vampires.
‘Nineteen vampires, out.’
This was the reason why they were taken outside Homeplus instead of inside.
The vampires, freed from their suffering by having their citizenship revoked, looked briefly at ease.
I gave orders to my vassals who were subduing the vampires.
[Execute him.]
Just as my voice passed through the megaphone and was transmitted throughout the plaza.
Taang-! Bang-!
A gunshot rang out and the bullet tore through the vampires’ hearts.
[You have hunted a low-level vampire (Lv. 22).]
[You have hunted a low-level vampire (Lv. 26).]
[You have hunted an intermediate vampire (Lv. 31).]
“Wow!”
People cheered as the vampires were shot.
[Citizen Kim Joo-won’s trust level increases.]

[Citizen Jeong Guk-il’s trust level increases.]
[Citizen Im Chae-eun’s trust level increases.]
There was a hint of madness in the people’s cheers.
Their resentment at having to live in such an era and their anger towards vampires were contained in it.
That was the world.
Because I couldn’t survive in this crazy world without going a little crazy.
‘The Eyes of the Absolute.’
I used the skill while looking at the room where Park Sae-rom and Seo Ye-jin were waiting.
‘Teleport.’
Moon Byung-ho’s trust level reached 100, and the teleportation skill he gained could also be used in conjunction with the Eye of the Absolute.
Although it is said that the further the distance, the more mental strength is required, I have never had any trouble using it so far.
“Oh, you’re here.”
Park Sae-rom greeted me with an awkward expression.
“Um… but what should I do from now on?”
I said with a snicker.
“That’s unexpected.”
“yes?”
“I thought I’d hear you speak informally to me when I first met Saerom.”
Park Sae-rom made an excuse with her face turning red.
“It’s…sorry, sorry.”
It was a joke I made to ease the tension, but seeing Park Sae-rom hanging her head like a criminal made me think my intention was misconstrued.
Rather, he let out a sigh at the increasingly tense atmosphere and changed the subject.
“Did you say that the original job of Supply Team 3 was to supply supplies to the Jungang-dong Group and the dispatched Chari Unit?”
The Jungang-dong Group had its base right above the Taehwa River, and it was a place where they fought bloody battles every day with vampires trying to cross the river.
Thanks to their sacrifice, the Sports Complex Group was able to lead a relatively stable life and was dispatching the Chari, a combat unit, and providing supplies.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“You can continue doing what you have been doing. If you need any supplies, please let me know. I will provide you with as much as you need.”
“all right.”
“Oh, and from today onwards, the leader of this supply team 3 is you, Park Sae-rom.”
“Yes, I understand… yes?”
Park Sae-rom asked with her eyes wide open.
“What did you say just now?”
“Mr. Park Sae-rom should take on the role of leader here.”
Park Sae-rom hiccuped a few times and barely nodded her head.
“Please take good care of me.”
“Yes, I will try my best!”
[Citizen Park Sae-rom’s trustworthiness increases significantly.]
Park Sae-rom performed her role as team leader better than expected.
At first, there were some who were resentful, but that did not last long.
It was because of the endless supplies I provided behind Park Sae-rom.
How many people would resent someone who gave them the opportunity to worry about what to eat today instead of having to worry about what to eat every day?
Anyway, while Park Sae-rom was carrying out her duties as the leader of the 3rd supply team, the others and I were busy trying to figure out the exact situation here.
The busiest one was Seo Ye-jin.
The mice she tamed spread throughout Ulsan and served as scouts.
By linking Seo Ye-jin’s shared senses with the Absolute’s eyes, it was possible to almost perfectly grasp the situation north of the Taehwa River where the group of survivors had settled down.
‘That’s ridiculous.’
It was much more serious than I thought.
‘The top brass of the organization are all vampires.’
Sports Complex Group, Jungang-dong Group, Industrial Complex Group.
At the heart of these three large groups of survivors were all vampires.
Even the highest ranking ones in the three groups were all high-level vampires.
The only clean areas free of vampires were small groups of survivors, often grouped together in apartment complexes or small villages.
‘That’s not even funny.’
The entire Ulsan was being played into the hands of vampires.
It wasn’t like the survivor group and the vampires were barely maintaining a balance of power while fighting a war.
I was completely controlled by vampires and was dancing like a puppet.
‘It’s like….’
A huge pen.
Ulsan was currently like a giant human breeding farm run by vampires.
‘I thought it was a relatively safe location.’
This was no different from setting up an outpost in the middle of enemy territory.
“What should I do?”
The original plan was to unite the group of survivors.
It wasn’t particularly difficult since I had the abundant supplies available.
Before he noticed, I planned to issue citizenship to everyone, make them completely my people, and create a fighting unit armed with guns to wage war against the vampires.
“I’m screwed.”
It was doomed from the start.
All the key positions in the survivor group are filled by vampires, so no matter what I do, information will leak to them.
‘What if it turns out like this…?’
In my current situation, the cards I could pull out were extremely limited.
Among them, there is only one method that is the most stimulating and effective.
‘No choice but to cause trouble’
Jung Hyun-seok, a mid-level vampire, smiled broadly as he climbed the apartment stairs.
After climbing to a fairly high floor, I looked around the entire emergency exit staircase to make sure no one was following me.
‘There’s no one here.’
I opened the emergency exit stairs and went in with a satisfied smile.
Jeong Hyeon-seok, who had just arrived at room 1004, knocked on the door rhythmically as if he was typing Morse code.
Thump- thump- thump
And after a while.
Crunch.
“Are you here?”
“okay.”
The door opened carefully.
“Ready?”
“It’s perfect.”
Jeong Hyeon-seok said with a face full of anticipation.
“Let’s go in.”
They were so absorbed in the action that they didn’t notice that the front door opened slightly and then closed just before it closed.
As they passed through the dusty kitchen that looked like it had been neglected for a long time and reached the living room, another man bowed down to Jeong Hyeon-seok.
Unlike the living room, the bedroom was very clean, without a speck of dust.
“I’ve been waiting.”
In addition to the three male vampires including Jeong Hyeon-seok, there was one more person inside the house.
A woman who was drunk and unconscious was lying naked on a clean bed, as if she had even finished her laundry.
Jeong Hyeon-seok whetted his appetite as he looked at her naked body.
Jung Hyun-seok licked his upper lip and approached the bed. He made a small wound on the woman’s arm and licked it with his tongue. Then he immediately frowned.
He asked the other lower-level vampires who were waiting.
“How much medicine was injected?”
“I gave you three injections.”
Jeong Hyeon-seok glared at him and said.
“If you are small, I would say just two injections.”
Then the man next to him made an excuse.
“Only if you are under 160, give 2 doses…”
“Idiot. This woman is too skinny. You should have adjusted the amount yourself.”
“…sorry.”
Since becoming a vampire, I’ve found drinking blood that’s been drugged in this way more ecstatic than injecting it directly into my veins.
But the thing that was dissatisfying was that when the drug got too strong, the taste of blood would become faint.
Jeong Hyeon-seok, who was licking his lips, relaxed his expression and said.
“Well, this isn’t so bad.”
His face was filled with anticipation.
At that moment, Jung Hyun-seok brought his mouth towards the woman’s neck.
Taang-
Suddenly, a loud gunshot rang out and the vampire waiting nearby fell.
“huh?”
Before I could even fully realize what the situation was,
bang-
With a second gunshot, other lesser vampires also fell.
Only then did Jeong Hyeon-seok realize the seriousness of the situation and he got up from his bed, looking around cautiously.
“What, what is it?”
however.
bang-!
His heart was shattered by the sound of a gunshot behind him.
After all three vampires were defeated.
Slurp
Moon Byung-ho appeared out of thin air, wrapped the woman in a blanket, and lifted her up.
The moment I looked out the veranda window in that state.
Shushuk-
As Moon Byung-ho and the woman disappeared, the three vampire corpses that had remained in the room also slowly disappeared.
