106 – Numbers_2
Oh Seong-jin is a coward whether said good or bad.
To be precise, he was a man whose safety was the most important thing in the world.
He is someone else. No matter what happens, he only needs to be safe.
So, after a certain incident, even though he was in a position to supply drugs to the academy and the city, he did not have the courage to report it.
The reason was very simple.
If you accuse him, he himself will die.
Because your heart will be torn to shreds and you will die, unable to leave a single word, by a ridiculous creature called solitude embedded in your heart.
At first I thought it was nonsense.
However, since he swallowed that insect, his heart felt as if it would explode at the touch of that black robe, and he had seen the words of those who betrayed the black robe several times, so he had no choice but to accept it as the truth.
It’s not that I didn’t try to escape.
Since it is a life-and-death matter, Oh Seong-jin also tried his best in his own way.
I tried borrowing help from famous hospitals and healing heroes, but it was to no avail.
On the contrary, I almost died in pain when I found out about it.
So Seong-Jin Oh spread drugs to the academy according to the words of the unknown black robe and built up his power and supplied drugs to the city through the power.
There is only one reason.
It was to live.
Still, supplying drugs.
Even if it was to live, there is no way I wouldn’t have been worried.
The moment this is discovered, the moment another investigation comes in, he will rot in prison.
That’s why whenever I fell asleep, I thought that someone was coming to catch me, so I developed insomnia and lost a lot of weight.
However, the worries were futile.
There were a few times when I almost got caught by a government agency, but each time, the investigation of what the black robes did after hearing the story would disappear.
Perhaps the black robes had a connection with the investigative agency.
If it weren’t for that, there’d be no way the investigation net would collapse like that.
So Seong-jin Oh was relieved, and he went into business just like yesterday.
“Eup-up…”
I couldn’t breathe properly.
I didn’t even close my eyes, but everything was dark.
There was something like a gag in his mouth, so he couldn’t even speak properly.
Incomprehensible situation.
So he twisted his body, but his body also wriggled a little bit as if it was tied with a rope, but he couldn’t move further.
‘What is it? Why…?’
Oh Seong-jin is not stupid at all.
In this situation, it was possible to predict what had happened to him.
Knapped.
I was kidnapped.
‘Kidnapped?’
But I couldn’t understand why I was kidnapped.
He is also not the son of a famous family or the son of a great person.
He is just the eldest son of a shop with several common shopping districts.
But that doesn’t mean he’s not a great person either.
I am only a freshman in the academy.
That kind of existence.
But to kidnap yourself like that…
‘No way?’
Oh Seong-jin’s instinct for survival spoke out.
That this must be something related to drugs.
No, there was no plausible answer other than that.
‘Ah…’
And there was only one person who would make himself this way with the drug stuff.
That black robe.
On one side of my mind, I wondered if a villain organization with overlapping business would have done this, but it couldn’t be because the villain organizations somehow disappeared with the black robes.
‘Did I get caught?’
Then I guessed the reason to some extent.
It was clear that he had probably been caught increasing the amount of money he was stealing.
‘I just increased it from 3% to 4%.’
I just did it because the black robe would close my eyes moderately, so I thought it would be okay to do this.
It was clear that he had gone too far.
If you continue like this, you will be punished like the others.
Seongjin Oh felt a cold sweat rise from the back of his back.
‘What should I do?’
My saliva was dry.
I barely passed the last time, but now I really don’t have an answer.
All I could do now was lay down and pray.
So, after a while, when the sight started to find the light and the gag started to come off, Seongjin Oh prostrated himself on the floor and confessed as if he had committed a mortal sin.
“I am so sorry. From now on, I will never do that. Please save me just this once. I’ll return all the profits I’ve stolen so far, no, I’ll double that, no triple that, somehow…”
“To whom?”
And the voice I heard was not a grotesque mechanical sound, but a woman’s.
‘Woman?’
Was the black robe a woman?
That’s not true.
I don’t know the gender, but he was definitely a man.
Then…
Seongjin Oh raised her head slightly.
Then, what I saw was a vacant room with one floor open in a desolate building with no proper interior as if it had been under construction.
Black suits with black sunglasses lined up in two rows.
And the chair at the end of the rows of black suits. I saw a woman with striking red eyes and red bobbed hair sitting with her elbows on the armrests of the chair and her chin resting on her arrogant expression.
“…”
Oh Seong-jin felt dizzy at the unexpected scene.
Where is this and who are they?
I didn’t understand.
However, Oh Seong-jin was cowardly, not ignorant.
No, the survival instinct and notice that were trained out of fear surpassed those of ordinary people.
So, after calming down for a while and thinking about it, the answer came unexpectedly easily.
“So who?”
Attitudes and questions.
The woman was smiling, but the fact that she wasn’t smiling in a good way was just a look at her mouth and contrasting eyes.
And looking at that question, I could tell that they were somehow related to the black robes.
If it wasn’t for that, there wouldn’t be any reason to kidnap him.
“Will you tell me the story in detail?”
So Seong-jin Oh felt that she was in an extremely dangerous situation.
A situation where you can neither do this nor that.
The survival instinct put pressure on Seongjin Oh’s brain.
Various thoughts run through her head at an unusual speed and disappear.
“Ahahahaha, there seems to be a misunderstanding…”
The end of that thought.
The answer Seongjin Oh chose was evasive.
The reason was very simple.
It was a bet that had a high chance of surviving.
I was afraid of the danger of the sword, so if I blew against the black robe, I would surely die.
It was a gamble because it was clear that they would not be able to kill them right away because they would have the information they needed to hear.
“Isn’t that what I want to hear?”
The woman gave a small glance at little Seongjin Oh.
-Kwajik!
Then I realized before I even finished talking that my bet was wrong.
The pain that hit his brain and the grotesquely twisted right arm that was reflected in his field of vision at the same time was the evidence.
“aaa!!!”
Oh Seong-jin rolled on the ground.
“Noisy. If you don’t shut up, I’ll kill you right away.”
Like that or not, the woman asked, clearing her ear as if it were annoying.
“I ask you one last time. Who are you giving it to? And what happened here?”
It was a simple question, but I couldn’t ignore it.
The murder that covered the body at the same time that the words were over was a disprovement that those words were not lies.
“Ah…”
That’s why his arm was grotesquely twisted, and Oh Seong-jin, overwhelmed with fear rather than the pain that pierced his brain, forgot his screams.
Between death and death.
From noble mtl dot com
“…Help me.”
Oh Seong-jin was just a coward.

After lunch, I had work, so I quickly returned to the lecture room alone.
“You must watch it alone!”
A small gift box wrapped in colorful wrapping paper was presented to me.
And the girl who gave the gift box quickly turned around and ran away with her face blushing.
“…”
I looked at the gift box.
The title was said to be a reward for solving the problem, but the tone and behavior were not the same at all.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
I don’t care what kind of feelings he gave me as a gift.
On the contrary, it was evidence that counseling was booming, so it was enough to say that it was so and ignore it.
I put the presents roughly around my seat and sat down to check the time on my phone.
12:38.
‘Was the appointment time 40 minutes?’
It seemed that it was not yet time to show up.
So it was around the time I was thinking about what Sara had said about the city’s atmosphere being strange these days.
“Hmm, I can understand why Marie is interested.”
A refreshing voice came.
Looking up, I saw a beautiful woman with long black hair reaching to her waist, eyes like obsidian studs, and fair skin without any blemishes, looking at me and looking around as if evaluating me. .
‘Did you come?’
I didn’t know her name.
Because she was a celebrity.
The only son and daughter of the Changchun Iga, a famous family of magic.
The daughter of Lee Tae-jin, one of Korea’s S-class archmages.
The head of the first year of Laplace Academy.
Isia.
“The introduction is late. Call it isia Is this the right place for counseling?”
She gave a small smile.
