110 – Numbers_6
“Sorry.”
Hozumi Rei looked dumbfounded at the words of the assistants who begged her with her head on the floor.
“Does that make sense?”
“Really.”
“Ha…”
She sent me to catch a guy in a black robe who was secretly working here using a petty criminal who sold drugs as bait.
To think that only three of them managed to escape after being annihilated by an academy cadet who suddenly appeared at the meeting place where the black robes were supposed to appear.
What kind of ghosts are you talking about?
Hozumi Rei added to her voice to live on.
“You know I hate seeing lies, right?”
“Really. Trust me.”
Auxiliary personnel began pounding her head over and over again on the floor.
It didn’t take long before blood began to flow from the forehead, as if it had been cracked.
‘Isn’t it… A lie?’
Hozumi Ray, who was staring at her, eased her doubts a bit.
So is he.
There was no way the auxiliary personnel would report lies.
Reporting lies to Numbers was synonymous with dying soon.
Even if she was a villain, she was a human, so there was no way her life would be worth it.
Aside from that, if he was going to report a lie, he would make it a credible story, and it was clear that he would not tell a crazy story about being robbed by an academy cadet who suddenly appeared.
On the contrary, it was a story so strange that it was at a level where credibility could be gained.
‘Because it could be camouflage.’
And if you think about it, there is a possibility that something like a black robe might have noticed and disguised itself to confuse her.
But I’m not sure.
‘If the twins help me, it will be over in no time.’
There is work within the organization, so you have to take care of it yourself…
‘It’s all because of that impersonator.’
I never thought I would bother you like this.
If caught, I will surely kill you.
“Tsk. Stop. Because the floor is dirty.”
Rei Hozumi took her life and restrained the movement of the auxiliary personnel.
If you’re like other Astra’s Numbers, you’ll pay the price if your mission fails.
Hozumi Rei didn’t like having a dead body or her blood on her place.
And it was also because I remembered that killing them would make the investigation even more cumbersome since the organization couldn’t send auxiliary personnel right now.
“Thank you.”
The auxiliary personnel let out a small sigh of relief and thanked Rei Hozumi for her mercy.
“Go away. And investigate the sudden appearance of the cadet or something.”
“Okay.”
Either way, Hoz Mi Rey waved her hand appropriately, gave orders to her assistants, and soon moved her steps into the hideout.
“…”
After Hoz Mi Rei entered the hideout and heard the sound of the door closing, her assistants quietly raised their heads.
And with a frightened expression, he murmured softly.
“I did as I was told. Please…”
“Please save me. Save…”
Then the shadows beneath the auxiliaries shook.
[Yeah, well done. Do the next thing.]
The girl’s voice echoed in their minds.
From noble mtl dot com
It was the voice of the owner who had everything they had.
“That is…”
This alone is what I did my best.
But if you commit to that, the only thing you can do is choose where you die.
That’s why the auxiliary staff put their heads on the floor again and prayed.
“Please.”
[Hate?]
A voice that comes to my mind no matter what.
It didn’t contain life, but an indescribable fear crept into it.
At the same time, the shadow shook and countless bloodstained hands began to emerge from within.
“Ugh!”
“Great…”
Blood hands grabbed the heads of the auxiliaries and then slowly pulled them into the shadows.
What you see is an endless abyss.
I didn’t know what it meant to go there.
[If you don’t like…]
“No.”
“I will.”
The auxiliary personnel shouted urgently.
In the first place, if the owner gives an order from the bottom of his heart, he has no choice but to obey.
However, the reason why I was able to express my intention of refusal was only because the owner was generous according to the devil’s words that acting requires detail.
[This is the last time.]
“”…Yes.””
The auxiliary personnel let out a lamentation.
However, there was no way out.

“You are okay!?”
I hurriedly opened the door of the hospital room and saw Lee Jia furiously approaching the bed on which Chun Yu-seong was lying.
“Do you have any pain anywhere? What does the doctor say? Is it ok to be able to move? Who the hell did this—”
“It’s okay. Calm down.”
Chun Yoo-seong moderately soothed Lee Si-ah.
It’s not safe, but the painkillers were suppressing the pain, so it wasn’t hard to talk, although my head was a little dizzy and the fragmentary pain came from time to time.
“But.”
“Because it’s okay. Can you tell me what happened to what you asked for?”
“Ah, you asked me to find out where the group of black suits had gone?”
“Yes.”
“I did find it. Why?”
Why?
You have to get it back.
I couldn’t figure out why they kidnapped Marie, but I couldn’t believe they did it with good intentions.
Then, the longer the time is delayed, the higher the chance of Mary being in danger increases exponentially, and the higher the chance of escaping.
Isn’t there a saying that kidnapping is a race against time?
That’s why I had to move right away.
“Where did you go?”
“Could this have something to do with those black suits?”
“…”
“Looks right. Then I can’t tell you. I don’t know what it involved, but it could put you in danger…”
“Marie has been kidnapped.”
“What?”
Isia hardened her expression as if she had heard nonsense.
“What is that…”
Has Marie been kidnapped? What nonsense do you mean?
I still have vivid memories of talking face to face just a while ago…
“Isn’t it?”
So I asked again.
“It’s true. Those black suits kidnapped Marie. So please. Let me know.”
However, the answer did not change.
Chun Yoo-seong struggled to get up and bowed his head to ask for a favor.
“Really… That’s right.”
At such a series of appearances, Lee Jia realized that Chun Yu-seong’s words were true.
That’s why I understood.
Why was Chun Yoo-seong so injured? But why is she trying to move? Why are you so nervous and why are you so anxious? I couldn’t help but understand.
“Then… The police and the heroes first…”
“Notified.”
As soon as Chun Yu-seong came to her senses, she informed the police and the heroes.
However, the police only say nonsensical nonsense that an investigation is only possible when evidence of a kidnapping is brought.
The hero named Rich, who was in charge of this place, had been missing for several months, so he had no place to get help right now.
“But with that body…”
“Didn’t you say you’d give me something as a reward the other day?”
“You… Can’t you?”
“Yes, can you give me the elixir?”
Elixir, when consumed as a potion made with Changchun Iga’s special magic tool, mana is explosively activated for a certain period of time to temporarily strengthen the body.
With that leap, even Chunyuseong in that state could move, albeit temporarily.
“If you use it in that state, it will be suicide. You know that…”
However, the reaction is as great as the medicinal effect.
Even if you use medicine in a normal state, you have to recuperate for several months due to side effects.
“I know, but I need it.”
Chun Yoo-seong put on a determined expression as if he had already completed his resolution.
“That is unacceptable. I’ll somehow ask the family elders to move the police and heroes. It’ll take time though. The kidnappers must have kidnapped for a reason, so don’t harm them right away…”
“It’s too late.”
Chun Yoo-sung held Lee Si-ah’s hand with difficulty.
Normally, she might have felt a pounding heart, but she felt that she would not be able to defeat it at the sight of Cheon Yoo-seong, who trembled slightly but had a firm eye.
Even if there was no information, even if there was no elixir, she was sure that she would move even if Isia said to rescue her instead.
Chun Yuseong was such a man.
Even when Isia was in danger, he moved like that.
A moment of silence fell.
The two greeted each other with a long patience.
“Please.”
And the end of that silence and patience.
“Ahh, I get it.”
Lee Sia eventually raised the white flag amidst numerous conflicts.
“Thank you, I will definitely pay this debt.”
“But there are conditions.”
“Conditions?”
“The first thing is to get out of your body right away if you feel like you are in danger.”
But I couldn’t let Chun Yu-seong die.
Actually, she didn’t want to put her in danger, but she couldn’t resist Chun Yu-seong’s insistence that the person she fell in love with would lose.
“And the second is going with me. To be precise, I am going with my escorts.”
“That is…”
“Dangerous? What is it? My friend has been kidnapped, so you’re telling me not to go?”
“But.”
“What is but? If you don’t accept these two conditions, I won’t give you any information. Of course, I won’t even give you an elixir.”
“…”
“Choose. I’m going? Will you speak?”
Chun Yuseong pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Thank you.”

-Ugh!
I took out my phone at the sound of the phone ringing, and I was able to confirm that a text message had arrived.
I touched it and read it out.
[The place where the guys who kidnapped Marie are located is specified…]
It was a letter from Cheon Yoo-seong.
After saving Cheon Yoo-seong yesterday, he heard the circumstances, formed a united front to save Mari, and pretended to look for Mari outside.
‘I found it quickly.’
I ordered the black suits to leave traces in moderation, but seeing that they found the traces so quickly, Isia seems to have helped.
Then, it was said that Shia Lee was also involved in this work, and it was safe to say that it was certain that she would follow Cheon Yuseong, judging from her personality.
However, we anticipated that such a variable would happen, and prepared measures accordingly.
As long as an S-class hero doesn’t come out of nowhere, my plan will go smoothly.
I touched my phone and looked at the hideout where Rei Hozumi was staying.
‘It’s not long.’
Teleportation will soon be in my hands.
