11 – Black Lotus-2
I asked Aram to take Yeonhwa Cha and came to a remote area in the slums of Zaun. Additionally, she asked her to stay away from her.
“Would you really be okay without your sister?”
“Yes, this is the only way to bring in Slender Man.”
Slender Man is strong and weak. It never shows itself when a strong Awakener like Aram is around. This was a necessary action.
“That’s right, but if you are in danger… ….”
“Please.”
“… Ugh, I get it. You have to be careful.”
Although Aram was worried, he complied with my request.
“After all, that method was to kill Slender Man?”
“Yes.”
“Haa….”
Cha Yeon-hwa must have felt that she had been tricked, and she hadn’t even started yet, but her attitude was skeptical.
“Are you a non-awakened person?”
She raised her eyes, she asked. Without giving me a chance to respond, she immediately fired at her words.
“You can tell by looking at them, they are ordinary people without protection. How are you going to kill that monster? Gun? Do you think that’s right? To that fast guy?”
Cha Yeon-hwa was misunderstanding something. I felt the need to correct her thoughts.
“I’m not going to fight.”
“…… What?”
“What is my reason for fighting him? He is the object of your revenge and is obsessed with you.”
This was all true.
Slender Man prevented his orphans from leaving the slums, but somehow he didn’t kidnap them again once they got out of here.
That’s why I brought Cheon Ji-ye. If not, what would you have done?
However, Cha Yeon-hwa was an exception to this provision. She was obsessed with Cha Yeon-hwa to the point that Slender Man seemed to be overdoing it. Even if she escaped outside of her house, she must have tracked her down and brought her back to her slum.
“…… I can’t catch it.”
She laughed at her lack of confidence. She said sarcastically.
“You can’t catch it? You won’t catch it.”
“You can’t catch it!”
Cha Yeon-hwa shouted so that the surroundings reverberated. Anxiety and fear were read on her stiff face.
“You said you were stronger and faster than me… ….”
Slender Man is a monster that is difficult to defeat because he possesses the psychic ability without conscience called teleport, but his combat power is extremely poor.
‘Are you on the level of a demon-level monster?’
At that level, even Tommy could be injured.
In the original story, Cha Yeon-hwa and a girl of the same age actually subdued her with ease.
The girl is a natural genius, so let’s find another example without her. Yes, Cheonjiye.
Chun Ji-ye belongs to the weak side of the body compared to the Awakened. If her attack hits her like that, she can surely kill Slender Man.
On the contrary, Cha Yeon-hwa’s physical was at the top level among the characters in Part 5. There was no way she couldn’t defeat Slender Man. Even so, she is reluctant to confront.
It wasn’t very strange to have such a reaction.
‘Elephant Chain Syndrome.’
Cha Yeon-hwa was chained to her by her past’s continued defeat. Even though she has enough strength, she sets limits and can’t get out of them.
So I thought I’d go back.
“You are stronger. Trust me.”
-That’s amazing.
A male voice that seems to have been altered by a machine. Slender Man stood on the hill in an odd position with his arms and legs crossed like a pretzel.
The long-awaited target has appeared. I sent a signal to Cha Yeon-hwa to attack quickly. But she was frozen solid. She didn’t want to move at all.
Did I take trauma too easily?
If we continue like this, we may be kidnapped again. I should call Aram before it’s too late.
‘…… Uh?’
The place where Slender Man teleported again was not in front of Cha Yeon-hwa.
Funny, this guy was interested in me.
―Were you not satisfied with the collection you took? Crawled again.
Hey, I remember that again. He was like a perverted monster who was always watching the slums.
―How much more, to be separated from a guardian who will protect you. I must have been quite funny.
I could feel the eerie feeling on his face, which had no facial features.
A withered hand appeared in front of my eyes. That was the moment he was about to grab his head. Quickly twisting his head, he tumbled in a large diagonal direction.
But he had already teleported in the direction I was rolling. Likewise, a hand that came out of nowhere tried to grab his head. So instead, he put the thing he was holding in advance.
―…… Hmm?
“I hit it.”
Then he shouted loudly.
“Ignition!”
Quaaang!
The flames started from the small grenade engulfed the surrounding air and created a huge fire.
-Kuaaagh!
It was a powerful explosion. The hot flames used the monster’s body as fuel to warm the air. The intense heat was all around me, but I didn’t suffer any lacerations.
This was natural. The grenade he gave to Slender Man was modified by Tommy.
Among the artifacts, there are many types that can be controlled so that their abilities do not harm the user. Tommy was one of them.
“Tommy!”
I recalled Tommy, who had exploded, back to his true form. I quickly caught on and fired at Slender Man’s body.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang-!
Although he couldn’t come to his senses from the severe burns, he finally managed to teleport.
‘Where did he run away?’
It doesn’t matter where you are. He’s already got 6 feet in it. The dark bloodstains that flowed down the ground told me that he had suffered a fatal wound. The next attack can capture the victory.
-Why don’t you share the same fate?
Slender Man’s voice echoed around.
-Accept, you can’t go against fate. It just repeats infinitely.
I looked all around, but I couldn’t see him.
-It wasn’t filled with enough hate. It is not yet time to leave this place.
Ha, what are you talking about?
“Another rice cake that only you know is rolling. Someone please explain further!”
Bang!
I shot again at the location of the sound, but Slender Man had already moved.
Concentrate your mind and prepare for a surprise attack.
In the manga, in this situation, you use aura to detect the enemy’s position…….
Reiki is, in other words, the energy of the soul. Of course, there are spirits in ordinary people. But being able to handle it was a different matter.
“How long will you be like that? Do I really have to catch that? With this gun?”
The hardened Cha Yeon-hwa flinched.
I enjoyed watching part 5 the most in Yeongssabang. It was entirely because I liked Cha Yeon-hwa’s personality.
The most selfish hero who breaks away from the altruistic heroes built up by the protagonists of the previous wealth.
Live for your dreams. The job of a hero is nothing more than a dream chosen rather than a heroic consciousness.
Therefore, Cha Yeon-hwa escaped from all kinds of ethical consciousness and acted freely in a situation where she could become a sweet potato. I really liked that.
A protagonist who is just as frustrating and burdensome as he is now? Unfortunately, I don’t know such an idiot. Even if it was a 10-year-old, he had no intention of condoning it. Because I was a loving person. I hated it more.
“This is your job, Cha Yeon-hwa. Do not leave your revenge in the hands of others.”
The moment I fired, a hand appeared out of nowhere. It snapped at my neck.
“Ugh…… !”
My throat tightened and I choked.
I continued to be wary of surprise attacks, but I was pleasantly surprised. Excuse me, Slender Man really appeared right in front of me. There was no way the normal person’s slow body could cope with it.
‘Teleport is a f*cking scam. Give me something like this too.’
There was a popping sound from the neck that was being held. Sensing danger, his heartbeat grew stronger, and blood flowed from his nose. The front of his eyes also began to bleed red.
From noble mtl dot com
―The play is over.
Still, I didn’t think I was going to die.
The purple aura had completely eroded the surrounding space.
Cha Yeon-hwa’s protection erodes the space and takes away its ownership. What does this mean? In this space right now, you can’t teleport without her permission.
“…… Certainly, it is over.”
You.
Kwajik-!

After killing Slender Man, I received 100,000 won in cash from Bi Eun-hyun.
[I don’t know where you’re going in such a hurry, but if you’re going to, take a taxi. Don’t sleep outside just because you’re late. Oh, since this is an interest-free loan, make sure to pay it back.]
…… No, I borrowed it. Just give it A cute looking guy. I borrowed something though. I was honestly grateful.
100,000 Won is enough for my living expenses for three months. It was a waste to spend this only on taxi rides. So I was thinking of sneaking up on it.
[Be sure to take a taxi, I will check.]
…… Unfortunately, I took a taxi to the area where I used to live, just as Bieun-hyeon said.
I asked the driver a question in the middle and checked today’s date. Only a year and a half had passed since she was caught in the slums. But, a lot has changed here.
A big road was built, and a park was built. Redevelopment signs were also put up everywhere.
If I hadn’t confirmed the place name Seonhong, I would have continued to doubt whether I had come to the wrong place.
Still, there was one thing that didn’t change at all.
The shabby houses huddled on a narrow and sloping road, the hilly neighborhood where I lived.
I climbed the hill by relying on my memory. We passed on a steep, poorly paved road. After eight minutes of walking, I found a house with a green gate.
I passed through the gate and opened the sliding door. Walked inside Immediately there was a musty smell.
I used to really hate this smell. Because I felt the poverty I was in. But today, for some reason, it felt fragrant.
Now it is around sunset.
The sunset light coming through the windows illuminated the room where the electricity was cut red.
A photo on the desk caught my eye.
At the same time, moisture filled my eyes.
Because it was a picture of the portrait.
Grandma.
The family that took care of me without parents, the only person I depended on.
“…… I missed you.”
The reason why I chose to live in that gutter.
I wanted to see this picture again.
Even the afterglow of emotion is short-lived.
“…… Huh?”
Thinking about it, something was strange. The location of the room is obviously the same as the memory. That’s why it’s a problem
The photo of the grandmother was positioned in front of the sunlight. Over the course of a year, it was right that the color faded. Doesn’t look like that at all.
Come to think of it, the room was clean without a speck of dust. As if someone was taking care of it.
‘Ah, there are specks of dust.’
Platinum colored hair.
I didn’t feel bad when I found it.
***
While fighting Slender Man, I realized once again how weak I am.
To sacrifice like a hero,
To avoid sudden death in the middle,
You must be strong. As an ordinary person, if you wash your hands in reality, you cannot guarantee the future. So it’s not the time to cover the means and methods.
I opened the door and went inside the secret agency.
“Oops… ?”
Aram, who was eating udon, didn’t care whether he was embarrassed or not. He spoke hastily from the point of view.
“Sister, do one more thing with me!”
You must occupy one of the original works.
Absolutely.
