Absolute person in every corner-Episode 65
[Episode 14] Vampire (2)
"Please save me.."
Puuk!
Heedless of the woman's tearful pleas, two sharp fangs pierced the back of the woman's neck..
“Ugh, euuk."
The woman had no power to resist and just stared blankly into space..
I feel frustrated as I feel my blood being sucked out in real time..
"cold..."
A large amount of blood was lost and the body temperature was dropping rapidly..
On the contrary, the life force of the vampire that was sucking blood, the source of life, was becoming stronger..
Soon after, the life disappeared from the woman's eyes..
dump.
"Hehehe...."
Low-level vampire Zhuge Sunggyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with satisfaction..
This is because the first large-scale hunt was successful..
He was also intoxicated by his power, which had become powerful enough to hunt more than ten people at once..
“eat a lot.”
Zhuge Sunggyu smiled proudly as he watched the lowest-level vampires cling to lifeless humans and suck their blood..
‘This place is a complete bonanza.'
It was purely by chance that he was granted citizenship and set foot inside this safe zone..
At first a transparent wall blocked him, then suddenly he suggested something called 'citizenship'..
Zhuge Seonggyu accepted it without much thought, and could not help but be surprised when he entered the area..
‘Wherever you go, there are all kinds of humans.'
The vampires' staple food was human blood..
And the more humans they eat, the stronger they become and the more they grow..
Of course, the more humans there were, the better..
But not only were there many people here, but they were also of good quality..
Compared to the ones eaten outside, it seemed to be almost several times more efficient..
Thanks to this, Zhuge Sunggyu was able to quickly become stronger..
'You can soon move up to intermediate level. Like that guy'
The guy who treated me like a useless guy and abandoned me..
You will gain power equal to that guy..
'It is not enough to be equal'
I had to drink more human blood to surpass him..
And I plan to make you pay for treating me like a worthless bastard..
'bloody revenge..'
In order to do that, not only did he need to become stronger, but the group he was leading needed to become stronger as well..
‘Did one guy die?.'
Currently, the number of lowest-level vampires who can control the level of low-level vampire Zhuge Sunggyu is five..
One person died during the large-scale hunt, but it didn't matter..
It wasn't that difficult to make a low-level vampire..
‘Humans are everywhere here.'
By the time you reach intermediate level, your subordinates will also be promoted to low-level vampires one by one..
When they produce the lowest level vampires, as if they are breeding again, their colony will achieve rapid growth..
'In that state, it eats all the humans around here and then goes looking for that guy.'
By then, you will have enough power to overwhelm him..
Where it was located, finding a single human was like picking a star in the sky..
That's why he was kicked out.
But on the other hand, this place was nothing short of paradise..
A paradise overflowing with prey.
It was clear that he would remain stagnant while he and his colony grew here..
'I'll eat you up.'
I imagined the rosy future ahead of me and licked the blood from the corner of my mouth with my tongue..
That moment.
Clap.
"?"
Suddenly the door opened, and there was a man standing there..
An uninvited guest came.
I didn't really care at first.
I just pity the unlucky man who opened the door to this place without even knowing what was going on..
'Oh my. Coming to die on your own feet'
There was no need for Zhuge Sunggyu to issue a separate command, and the lowest-level vampires immediately responded to the fresh, live prey..
"Kieeeeek!"
"Kyaaa!"
Just before the lowest-level vampires rush towards the man, yelling at him..
flutter!
The heads of the four remaining lowest-level vampires exploded at the same time..
'uh?'
A heavy silence fell everywhere..
Without really any warning.
without a fight.
It took Zhuge Seonggyu some time to understand the situation..
Because my brain was refusing to understand the current situation..
'What the hell happened now??'
I could not understand the series of events that occurred before my eyes..
'Is that what I saw??'
However, I clearly saw it with my own two eyes..
The moment his subordinates showed hostility towards the man, his head exploded as if he were being judged by God..
When I realized the stark reality, I couldn't help but fall into panic..
Fear filled his brain..
'No, that's ridiculous.!'
One thing I understood clearly was that the power possessed by the being in front of me was in a realm that I could not understand with my own mind..
revenge on subordinates?
blood vengeance?
That thing has long since disappeared from my mind..
In the face of a being with overwhelming power, one's personal feelings were not important..
What remained was the strong desire to survive, to just live..
Zhuge Sunggyu knelt down and barely opened his mouth..
I made a sound out of my mouth with all my might and earnest heart..
"Please save me."
The screams of the weak, which were not heard when he was in the position of a predator, were coming out of his mouth in the same way. A small struggle to survive.
Zhuge Sunggyu was making the best choice he could..
"Please save me. Wow.!"
At that time, he felt as if something was grabbing his neck and pulling him upwards. Soon his feet could not reach.
I tried struggling while floating in the air, but it was no use..
"dare.."
I saw the face of an angry man in front of me..
I knew it intuitively the moment I saw it..
There will never be a miracle where this man forgives himself..
It is said that even earthworms squirm when stepped on, but he could not even dream of such resistance. The only time an earthworm wriggled was when something of the same weight as a human stepped on it..
If an elephant steps on it, something as small as an earthworm will die instantly..
Zhuge Sunggyu gave up everything and closed his eyes tightly..
Because there was nothing I could do except accept the choice of the being in front of me..
"Sigh?"
It was then.
Suddenly the pressure I felt in my neck lessened and my feet touched the ground..
Zhuge Sunggyu, who was lying helplessly on the floor, looked up at the man, his body trembling..
the man said.
"From now on, answer my questions as sincerely as possible.."
Zhuge Sunggyu bowed his head and answered..
A quest window appeared telling me that if I didn't answer honestly, I would be subject to extreme pain, but I didn't care. In the first place, I had no intention of disobeying the man in front of me..
"...yes."
He fell to the floor and did his best to beg for his life..
I was ready to tell him everything I knew just to have even the slightest chance..
the man opened his mouth.
“How did you get in here??"
"That is...."
Low-level vampire, Zhuge Sunggyu.
I felt a headache after hearing the whole story..
'I never thought that non-human monsters could be accepted as citizens.'
When granting citizenship, the system message was expressed as an ‘entity that satisfies the conditions to be accepted as a citizen’ rather than a ‘human being’..
I didn't know that that meant that citizenship could be granted to non-human monsters as well..
'I never thought it would be possible to grant citizenship to a monster that eats humans.!'
The influx of citizens continued to pour in at this very moment..
In the past, when the number of incoming citizens was small, citizens' information was checked by looking at them individually, but now that the number has increased enormously, it has been set up so that if a person who is capable of acquiring citizenship approaches, they can immediately acquire citizenship..
It was a kind of automatic systemization..
Otherwise, we would have to accept a continuous influx of citizens even while working or sleeping..
But I never thought it would come back like this.
I thought that the side effects, at best, would be the arrival of citizens with dirty personalities who would cause trouble, or the arrival of criminals..
But a problem of a different dimension emerged..
'A vampire?'
asked the guy.
"I was human before I was bitten.?"
"Yes that's right. He was an ordinary human, but became a low-level vampire after being bitten by a vampire named Ahn Sang-hyuk.."
What was shocking was that the vampire in front of me was once a normal human being..
‘Maybe that's why he was granted citizenship.'
In any case, since the systemic loopholes had emerged, no one could just accept it from now on..
At least the moment I accepted it, I had to check the citizen information window to see if I was a vampire or not..
In addition, it is necessary to re-check the citizen information window that has been accepted so far..
"I had vague memories of the few days I spent as a low-level vampire, and I said I grew into a low-level vampire by eating humans.?"
"Yes, it is.”
To borrow a phrase from Zhuge Sunggyu, the lowest level vampires were like beasts with only their instincts remaining..
At least he still has the intelligence to understand if I give him a command..
It is said that humans begin to develop self-consciousness from low-level vampires..
"The man named Ahn Sang-hyuk, who turned you into a vampire, was a mid-level vampire of a higher rank than you.."
"Yes, yes. That's right.”
The current level of Zhuge Sunggyu, a low-level vampire, is 28.
This means that in the case of a mid-level vampire, the level will be at least higher than this..
'And the existence of intermediate levels means that there are also high-level vampires.!'
I don't know exactly how high their ranks are, but they will probably reach the upper level..
The level was also expected to be quite high..
“Where is the base of that intermediate vampire??"
“This is an apartment complex in Daeyeon-dong..”
“Well sir.”
As soon as it seemed like I was about to end the conversation, Zhuge Sunggyu begged for his life in a desperate voice..
“Well, I'll guide you to where he is! Please, with your own hand, punish the bastard who is the culprit of all this.!"
[Citizen Zhuge Sunggyu's loyalty increases..]
His purpose was clearly visible..
Because he seemed anxious to survive somehow..
Moreover, the rapidly rising trust and loyalty levels after meeting me were making me feel sick..
'The loyalty of a man-eating monster'
I wasn't happy about it.
I heard enough information that I needed..
"If you want revenge that much, why not do it yourself??"
Zhuge Sunggyu, who became a low-level vampire, may have once been a human, but now he is just a monster that eats people..
Of course, I had no intention of accepting it or saving it..
'Quest Grant'
《Quest Grant》
Quest Content: Kill Ahn Sang-hyuk
Time limit: 24 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds
Reward: small amount of experience.
Failure Penalty: Death.
"No need to guide me. Go kill him yourself..”
Time limit is 24 hours.
There was no way that Zhuge Sunggyu, who was still only a low-level vampire, could kill Ahn Sang-hyuk, a mid-level vampire..
This was outright telling me to go and die..
Zhuge Seonggyu understood this and spoke urgently..
“Now, just a moment, then allow me to drink human blood. If you're at intermediate level, there's at least one guy like that.-!"
“If you even touch a human with even a fingertip, your head will explode immediately..”
Zhuge Sunggyu couldn't answer and just lowered his head..
I decided to instill some hope in the depressed person. Because you shouldn't attack other people out of desperation..
'Store open. Buy M16'
Jiying—
Zhuge Sunggyu's eyes widened when he saw the rifle and 100-round set of live ammunition that appeared in front of him..
“I'm giving you a chance. A chance to get revenge on the guy who made you like this"
The guy stroked his rifle and nodded..
"With this... with this, it's possible! I'll try it!"
“Do your best to exterminate all vampires.”
"thank you!"
"Once again, if you use this to attack anyone who is not a vampire, I will kill you immediately..”
“And I will keep that in mind.."
"Let's go right now."
"yes!"
Zhuge Sunggyu answered quickly and then went out of the building..
After he left, the remaining buildings were littered with human corpses..
Half of the people who died had their eyes wide open in sorrow..
Grumbling
Just as they were about to burn their bodies, they paused..
'They probably have families too.!'
No matter how gruesome the ending may be, shouldn't we see the faces of our families?.
I extinguished the flame and at the same time called Seo Ye-jin with the ring of communication..
[Seo Ye-jin. There's a man who wants mice to follow him..]
There were three reasons for putting Seo Ye-jin's mouse behind Zhuge Seong-gyu..
The first is to find out the exact location of the vampires.,
The second is to avoid handing over the rifle that Zhuge Sunggyu is holding to those guys.,
Lastly, it was intended to burn them to death if they tried to commit even the slightest mischief..
'I need to put together a team to exterminate the vampires.!'
If there were monsters nearby whose main diet was humans, it was right to destroy them all for the safety of the citizens..
