My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 32
shadow of seoul (2)
“Okay, here.”
A masked man holds out an envelope and a tablet..
I first turned the envelope over and took out the contents..
Three sheets of lotto paper included.
“Round and winning numbers. Check it out now. Don't say anything later.”
“Hmm···.”
The tablet had a lotto information site on..
I guess that means compare and check for yourself..
I carelessly put the tablet aside and took out the last lottery ticket I had prepared..
Then, I scanned the QR code with the cannon phone I brought with me and compared it with the three sheets of first-place paper..
“···I don't do unnecessary tricks. Because this is also a business of trust.”
There is nothing wrong with the QR code... Next is the amount..
28billion, 2.2 billion, 1.5 billion.
After comparing the numbers on the site, there was a slight difference in amount, but no special problems were found..
This time, I picked up the winning papers one by one and looked at them closely..
“Maybe it was some other prank??”
“You can do that by looking at the other person. I have no intention of risking my life.”
‘I'm not saying we don't do it at all..’
I looked at them carefully, left the envelope behind, and packed only the winning slip into my subspace bracelet..
First of all, Heinz's "Blood Magic" did not detect anything abnormal..
Even with a vampire's sensitive sense of smell, I couldn't detect any special medicine..
‘I'll have to check it again with Hans' "black magic" later, far away from home..’
It would be more certain if Hans, who specializes in magic, directly inspected it rather than Heinz..
Isn’t everything going well?.
“Oh, and I'd like to get a new identity. Can you please introduce yourself?.”
I continued, pushing the empty envelope and tablet back to him..
Because Han Seong-hyun could not have received all three first place prizes..
Even if Han Seong-hyun received the largest amount, 2.8 billion won, he needed someone to receive the other two on his behalf..
Even if it's not, once you have it, it will help you in some way..
“···Isn’t that what they used to do there??”
“It was like that. Until this storm came,.”
Human trafficking and organ trafficking.
Naturally, they had no choice but to be closest to the 'missing persons', and laundering their unclaimed identities was also the organization's main task..
“We have enough data, but the technicians are completely divided. The rest of them must have been scared, so I can't contact them at all..”
Reading memories isn't perfect either..
The more I forced myself to think about it, the more strain it put on my brain and the more information I lost..
So, you have to set priorities and read the information, but at the time, there was no interest in common criminals creating fake identities.···.
“If that's the case. This much will be provided through service..”
He then held out a piece of paper with several names and contact information written on it..
I took it and stood up..
“Well then, let’s go..”
“I hope to see you again next time.”
“That too.”
We briefly said goodbye.
It was a good word from the floor that we should meet again instead of getting stabbed somewhere and dying..
sweet—
When I opened the door I came in, a young man with an ordinary appearance was waiting outside and showed me the way out..
It was a fairly satisfying outing..
‘Anyway, it would be convenient to have an organization. Which is better? These guys look pretty useful too.···.’
As I followed the young man guiding me out, I looked around and leisurely savored my appetite..
***
“Phew—.”
The man took off his mask and wiped his face..
And I was lost in thought, tapping my fingers on the table..
“It's me, branch manager. That guy from earlier.···.”
During the transaction, one of the subordinates who was assisting next to me cautiously opened his mouth..
“huh. know. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem like it belongs to a business association.?”
“yes. That's right. Wouldn't it be better to investigate??”
‘‘Sanghoe’ was a derogatory term for the now-defunct human trafficking organization..
Who the hell was it that they even lied and called themselves that organization??
“No, it's okay. Just get your hands off me.”
“yes? Is that okay??”
“What else can't be done? You know because you were there too. Let’s not risk our lives for no reason.”
What was the reason they traded with each other in the first place?.
Isn't it for safer and more sustainable transactions, avoiding trappings and scams?.
“But no matter how you look at it, he is not a gentleman who would stay in the sun..”
“Certainly, I was out of breath when he threatened me earlier. Even though I couldn't see it from my side..”
“right? It's because he's a demon. maybe a vampire.”
“Eh... was that also the case??”
The branch manager recalled that time..
Pale skin, sharp blood red eyes, and the suffocating smell of blood..
‘Perhaps he revealed his identity on purpose. Just for warning. If you are a vampire, is it a blood oath? Maybe it's the Buncheonhoe (翻天會)..’
“Since that's the case, what about whatever your real identity is? If we received a new customer and completed the transaction successfully, that's it. You made some profit this time, right? I hope you become a regular.”
Because no good comes from touching a dangerous person for no reason..
It was the life wisdom of someone who has survived in the back alleys until now..
***
Past midnight, deserted outskirts of Seoul.
Cooung—!
[Hehehehe···]
Clatter – rattle!
A group of undead surrounded the abandoned factory and surged inside..
“Request for support? what happened?!”
“I can't contact you! Phone, internet, everything is not working! completely isolated!”
“Holy shit—! Everyone prepare for battle!”
The person in charge of this factory, commonly known as the factory manager, gritted his teeth and shouted..
Although they are now in hiding, they are also survivors who have gone through hardships and hardships..
He was a superior being with power on a different level from that of inferior humans..
“Crying—”
The factory manager's body swells and becomes bigger..
I tore off the stuffy top that was restricting my enlarged upper body and tore off the hem of my pants..
He threw away his torn shoes and took a deep breath..
2A wolf face with a muscular body over a meter long and sharp teeth.
It was 'Main', a returnee who returned from another world as a werewolf..
“Hmm···.”
“Giggling. Lord, I will kill you... Hehehe.”
His subordinates were not normal either..
Like the factory manager, there are those with the appearance of werewolves, vampires with blood-red eyes and long fangs, and those with snake scales growing on their skin.···.
Although there were still people in human form, the madness in their eyes was no different from that of other beings..
Kwaang!
Finally, the undead who killed those who guarded the outskirts flocked to the core..
Teeth and nails dripping with blood.
Among them, there were people who were familiar with the factory manager..
“Hehehe... Wow, it really caught me right..”
[Kihihihi—]
There, the pale-skinned captain of the factory's outskirts was laughing, dark red blood streaming from every pore of his face..
He was a strong man who could not be judged superior to even himself.···.
‘Did they turn everyone into undead in this short moment??’
It hasn't been long since I found out about the attack and requested assistance while I was waiting outside..
At that moment, when the factory manager gritted his teeth and prepared for a decisive battle, the group of undead split and a figure entered the interior..
A mask with a strange smile reflected in a black robe and a pressed hood as if clad in darkness..
Blue ghost fire flowing from the eye sockets and chill emanating like fog..
It was as if an ominous being had been molded into the shape of a human being..
‘No, is it really a human??’
The factory manager trembled slightly in fear..
The instinct that became stronger after becoming a werewolf was screaming..
The being in front of you is a monster you can never face..
[Indeed, there is nothing more to see. You are all slaughtered..]
The being that attacked the factory, Hans looked around..
Many demons surrounded by undead, the space they are in is···.
[The cries of the dead never cease from all directions. It's been a long time since I've been in a place full of death like this.···.]
It was an ordinary meat processing factory..
Except that the target is humans, not livestock..
From devices for drawing blood to devices for crushing bones..
It even had its own assortment..
“Kihi! How dare you pretend to be clean when you are also a demon! It is necessary for us to survive!”
“Humans slaughter and eat livestock, so why shouldn't we? Isn’t the law of nature a diet of the fittest??!”
Some of the demons who lost momentum shouted as if they were trying to shake off their fear somehow.···.
Hans did not bother to respond to their frantic protests..
Because I didn't feel the need to talk to crazy people who were going to die soon anyway..
‘Still, there were survivors. I guess it was to maintain freshness..’
The undead dispatched to the warehouse reported finding trapped people..
His health didn't seem to be bad, so he was ordered to leave it as is for now and guard it..
And Hans looked at the demons who were loudly talking as if they were claiming their innocence..
[Yeah, it's good to eat the law of the jungle..]
A cold voice like the devil whispering.
Those who were talking so loudly shut their mouths without realizing it..
There was silence in the hall for a moment..
[Your bodies look very sturdy. I'll make a great undead.]
At the same time, I searched my head a little,.
It's a law of the jungle, and it's absolutely necessary, so they won't complain..
Following Hans' instructions, the undead rushed at them..
Sweet! rattle!
“OMG! Just on the topic of corpses!”
[Kihihihi! Kiyahahaha!]
“Crumble, I'll tear it to shreds!”
Taang— Bang! bang—!
As the demons are the ones who survived through all kinds of battlefields, they did not fall easily even against the undead..
Some people even take out guns and shoot..
Hans, who had no intention of prolonging the fight, immediately intervened..
[Kihyaaaa—]
“Ugh, these guys suddenly have power···!”
A black crown was placed on Hans' head, and a pitch-black aura spread out and inhabited the undead..
Wow—
“Argh! it hurts! body! my body!”
“I can’t see ahead! I can't hear anything! Am I talking about it? Everyone can't hear me?!”
All kinds of curse energy spread out from his light gesture and attacked the demons, neutralizing them one by one..
Demons falling one by one.
After the factory manager was finally captured, there were no more resistance left..
“Ugh.... Hahoe mask was like this.···.”
The factory manager muttered as he was dragged in front of Hans while being suppressed by the undead..
I knew about the existence of Hahoe Mask as rumors spread, but I never thought it would be this overwhelming..
Another problem was that this factory was quite far from the area where Hahoetal was active, and the attack was unexpected because it was completely hidden..
A fact that he cannot understand because he does not know that Hans hunts demons and tracks the people involved by reading their memories..
[Come on, don't be too upset. I am the master of death, you will find rest and be my strength forever.]
Hans spoke kindly and patted the factory manager's head..
It may have backfired, but his tremors only got worse..
[Of course, you have to pay your bills before that, right? It will sting slightly. Don't worry it doesn't hurt that much.]
The black leather glove that was stroking his head grabbed his head..
Immediately, dark magic entered his mind..
[Of course, I don't know because I haven't tried it. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk···.]
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”
Torn screams and convulsing bodies..
The undead that were pressing down on his body were shaking..
As some time passed, the screams, which had lasted as long as the werewolf's tough life force, gradually subsided..
When the undead who had been suppressing him retreated, he stood up, bleeding all over his body..
[It's good because it's sturdy. So who should we do next??]
The subdued demons broke out in a cold sweat, avoiding Hans' gaze..
Even if all you get is a brief reprieve,.
For quite some time after that.
Surrounded by a barrier, only screams that could not be heard outside echoed hollowly inside the factory..
