199. Conversation (2)
After eating, Oliver got up with Joe.
Al, feeling something unusual, approached him and asked him to wait for Forrest to come soon, but Oliver politely declined to come as soon as he had promised Joe.
“I will come as soon as possible after I finish my business.”
Al tried to convince him again, but as soon as he made eye contact with Oliver, he nodded.
He knew he wasn’t going to go out on his own.
Oliver bowed politely once more to Al, who was willing to let him go, then turned to look at Joe. He looked the other way, as if turning away.
He thought he could do anything well, but he didn’t seem to have the talent to hide his guilt.
“Shall we go now?”
***
Oliver followed Joe.
Joe walked faster than usual, probably because of his nervous emotional state.
Thanks to this, Oliver could only read Joe’s back face and emotional state.
With each step, each step, Joe’s emotions fluctuated silently.
Guilt of wanting to be like this,
Self-rationalization that can’t be helped,
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nevertheless, the hesitation to stopIrritability and fear with nowhere to retreat.
Joe’s emotions fluctuated like a storm, biting and hurting each other.
The agitation was so great that emotions overflowed from his body.
Oliver could see, at least indirectly, how painful Joe was.
What is bothering him so much?
Oliver wanted to ask a question, but he thought it was too early, so he followed silently without saying a word.
For a long time I walked without saying a word.
Oliver eventually entered the outermost part of Sector T.
As with any worker residence, the outskirts of Area T were sparsely populated.
At least on the surface.
Oliver asked, examining the emotions of dozens of people hiding in the surrounding alleys and alleyways.
“Are you here?”
“·····uh.”
Joe stopped and answered.
At the same time as he answered, Sam appeared behind Oliver’s back, pointing a gun at him.
Surprisingly, he also had a similar emotional state to Joe.
Guilt about Oliver, hesitation, regret, self-rationalization, fear, irritability, fear, despondency, etc…. It was amazing. I thought he didn’t like him that much.
Then others showed up one by one.
They were all warlocks, and each had a different emotional state.
Embarrassment, bewilderment, fear, irritability, confusion….
But even among them, there were people who were full of enthusiasm. For example, someone with an X-shaped scar on their face.
“under····. did you bring it? Contrary to rumors, don’t you think it’s at the level of penetrating emotions in detail? Seeing you follow me like this.”
A man with facial scars. with chan. Cleaver appeared while grinding with a grinding rod.
A number of personnel armed with kitchen knives were lined up behind him.
All of them have black magic on their blades.
Oliver seemed to know who they were instinctively.
“…you are a member of the Fighter Crew.”
Oliver asked, manipulating the magical energy he had accumulated in his body so that no one noticed.
Magical energy descended to the ground following Oliver’s fingertips and slowly spread out in all directions.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No one was noticing.“Five·····. Are you quick? No, should I say I don’t care? Rumors have spread, and he has followed Joe.”
“Rumors?”
When Oliver asked a question, laughter was heard everywhere.
The confidence that you have won and the freedom that comes from superiority.
Even though I didn’t ask at the time, Joe spoke first.
“Do you really not know?”
“Yes, can you tell me?”
Joe pulled out an emotional test tube and said:
“Are you in charge of retrieving the stolen crime perm auctions?”
“Yes, how did you know?”
“Rumors tend to spread easily… Do you know who the gang in District Y and the gang took the auction?”
“I know that you are of the black-handed human meat chef lineage.”
“That’s our boss. The boss of the Fighter Crew.”
Joe spoke calmly on the outside, but on the inside he seemed to be in shock.
It’s like he can’t handle the situation right now.
“ah·····. okay. Since when did you know?”
“Lately.”
“okay. by the way-“
“-Can’t you understand the situation now?”
A man with facial scars suddenly interrupted the conversation.
I couldn’t figure out why, but I felt a great displeasure for Oliver.
“I’m sorry if I offended you. But do you understand the situation?”
“I’m going to die at our hands soon, but I’m so relaxed. Do the troubleshooters these days lose sight of themselves if they tell them their names? Or are you making fun of us as ghetto trash?”
oh·····. Oliver then understood what he meant.
“sorry·····. Your name?”
“Why is my name?”
“You need to know your name to have a conversation.”
“…Victor.”
“Yes, Victor. First of all, let me say I’m sorry. I have no intention of ignoring you. I’m not ignoring the people in Area X in the first place. I am also from Goa.”
“under····. Do you think you can survive if you flatter yourself?”
“No, it is the truth, not the flattery. There are a lot of great people in Area X. There are people who teach sports hard, there are people who fight for their younger siblings even when they are afraid, and there are people who take care of their dead friend’s younger brother instead.”
Oliver glanced at Joe. Joe flinched.
“······I will never ignore you. I just don’t understand.”
“what?”
“Everyone, I understand that the boss is a human meat cooker……. But why are you trying to kill me?”
A very silly question. But Oliver was sincere. I didn’t know why he was trying to kill himself.
More than fifty warlocks roared, and Victor yelled to calm him down and then shouted at Oliver.
“Because you are the boss’s enemy! In other words, it is our enemy… Are you crazy?”
“It’s different from what I know.”
“What?”
Oliver looked at the people around him and spoke again.
“As far as I know, you are in the Fighter Crew to learn black magic, and furthermore, to make a living. I’m not a fighter who likes to fight, and I’m not trying to be loyal to anyone…”
Oliver said, recalling a conversation he had with Joe in the past. That’s when I asked you to teach me the black suit.
“How come you are trying to get involved in something dangerous now? Do you have any reason to go that far?”
Some who were skeptical of Oliver’s words were agitated. Victor felt the agitation and urged Joe.
“Hey, Joe. what are you doing? Are you going to let me keep talking?!”
As Joe was about to say something, Oliver asked.
“You can attack me if you want. What you need to be prepared for when you come to this floor. So there is no need to feel guilty. However, please answer my question. This is my second condition that I changed my schedule at the restaurant and followed without saying anything.”
Joe’s eyes twinkled.
“Keep talking.”
“hey!”
Oliver ignored Victor and asked Joe and the others.
“The Fighter Crew is where you came to live, but why would you risk getting caught up in the boss’s arrogance? If you do it wrong, you can even fight crime perm.”
Victor shouted.
“It’s already a situation where we have no choice but to fight crime perm. They’ve always been after us, so you’ll think this is your chance.”
“I think I can help with that part. There are one or two people I know at the Crime Firm, so I’ll tell you that it’s a misunderstanding. The boss did it on his own terms, and you don’t care.”
Some shouted. It didn’t seem like everyone wanted to fight crime perm.
Victor shouted.
“What are you doing, you crazy bastards! It must have been a blatant lie!”
“I am serious. It’s not necessarily successful, but it’s possible.”
Once again, the fighter crew members shouted.
“Children! Wake! The boss said they would accept us as members of the Black Hand. Don’t know what that means?! Saying goodbye to a life like garbage until now!! The chance has finally come, what the fuck?!”
“By any chance, Victor, do you know anything about human meat chefs?”
“What?!”
“I know a little bit about human meat chefs. Through the crime firm, through the broker, through the Pinkman.”
Oliver recited information from Murphy, Forrest and Jonathan.
“Human meat cook. A high-risk criminal who revolves around Gallos, he is one of the fingers of a black hand that stands shoulder to shoulder with the eternal puppet, the eternal child fan, and the kidnapper The Piper. It is estimated that it has the second largest organization after Puppet, and it has the highest organizational power, which makes it difficult for even the government to handle.”
“Yeah, ghetto trash life is finally changing.”
“And it eats people.”
drop.
There was no sound, but everyone paused, as if cutting something with scissors.
“I’m not certain and speculative, but the sect of human meat cooks is known to eat human meat. It is said that by eating people, you get powerful power.”
“·················ogue.”
“Personally, I think that’s true. Then, the tremendous regenerative ability and the deformity of a lot of vitality, magic power, and emotions are explained… I’m curious, can you eat people?”
“…is this kid who makes dolls out of human corpses preaching? Rumors have already spread about dealing with a mortuary doll.”
“No, no. Not at all. We apologize if you misunderstood. I am not a former human meat cook, nor do I condemn the act of eating people. I don’t think I have the right to judge anyone in the first place. It’s presumptuous at times, but I’m trying to restrain myself.”
Oliver said, thinking of Marie. She still didn’t like what Marie was doing, but she couldn’t deny its worth.
“I’m just wondering if you can eat people. No matter how difficult life is, everyone has been taught that there is some kind of goodness. For example, you don’t fight with opponents you don’t want to fight with.”
Oliver looked at Joe again.
“article. I’m really curious, so even if things go well, I’ll have to follow the cook. So, are you planning to take Nico-san and Big-tuck-san’s family, who are taking care of you instead?”
Joe answered in silence. He was visibly agitated as he hadn’t even thought about it that far.
“Hey, Joe! Wake! it’s late anyway If I do something else, I think your little ones will be fine! No time to hesitate! A weakling has no choice but to listen to the powerful. You know?!”
“You have no choice but to listen to powerful people?”
“okay! Because that’s the floor rule!”
“ah·····. okay?”
At the same time as Oliver answered, he activated and condensed the magical power he had secretly spread.
According to Oliver’s will, the magic chain divided into dozens of branches shone and immediately captured the nearby warlocks.
Like a snake made of iron.
It was so instantaneous that no one but Joe responded.
“Hey, what is this?!”
“It’s a magic chain. It is the basic magic of the Pure Magical School, and it has excellent versatility, and its power varies greatly depending on the amount of magic power.”
As if to prove that, Victor resisted to escape, but the magic chain did not budge.
It would be helpful to listen to Kevin’s advice and put magical energy into your body. I was lucky that it didn’t scatter like emotions.
“I’m sorry I caught you all of a sudden. It seemed like you were preparing something a while ago, but I was afraid, so I moved first.”
As Oliver said, a magic scroll and a test tube containing black magic fell from the arms of Victor’s men. A means to contain and attack Oliver.
But before they could use it, they were caught. Only by one basic magic.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now, only Joe can face Oliver.such an absurd situation. That was the point where you could see the difference between the opponent and Oliver.
“article! attack now! Since we have such a large number of people, our actions will be limited. It’s already too late!!”
Victor shouted, and Oliver silently grabbed the quarterstaff with one arm.
Joe extracted his emotions and asked a question as he covered his body with black magic.
“What would you do if I attacked you?”
“We have to fight.”
“Are you going to kill me?”
“I don’t want to kill you, but maybe I can?”
After hearing the answer, Joe smiled low and asked the question again.
“What if I ask for help?”
“We are here to help.”
Hearing the answer, Joe cleared his emotions as if he had made up his mind and asked Victor.
“Hey, I’m going to get help from him. I don’t want to risk my life for other people’s work. You?”
“What bullshit! I want to be safe like this!! That dog right now—”
-puck!!
Before Victor could finish answering, Joe rushed in and smashed Victor’s head with his fist.
Red shards were scattered here and there as if they had collided with a lump of iron, and Victor’s men were terrified.
Joe asked again.
“You?”
