165 – [3] Marie, what is that?
#165
Someone once said that explosions are art.
I’m not sure what it meant, but one thing I’m sure of is that it was cool.
A truly avant-garde work.
In this way, the explosion was something cool and certain.
And to put it another way, it could be seen as a type of art rather than violence.
In other words, art was an explosion.
Although there would be some casualties, this could also attract attention if thought of as a form of art.
Yes, the main reason I wanted to blow up this place right now was to divert attention before escaping.
There would be a lot of gangsters and people outside right now, and running away in such an environment was an act of not knowing when you might be caught up.
Furthermore, rather than running away, the three of us had something to carry, so it was especially important for safe transport.
Cheonma-ri looked at me as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.
“Are you going to blow it up?”
“Marie, were there a lot of people watching when you were down there? Did you write it down?”
“There were a lot…… Ji? “But they weren’t ordinary people, but they seemed like people related to this place.”
Siege?
No, it won’t be a siege.
If it had been a siege, I should have shouted for them to come out, but now the only sound I could hear outside was stamping my feet.
In other words, except for the guys who were cut down by a thousand birds while measuring the angle to enter, everyone’s emotions must have been somewhere between indifference and impatience.
“I’ll just ask you one question. “If they all chase us, will we be able to safely get to the car?”
“Escape? I don’t know the terrain here, but…… Still, since my physical ability is better, I think it will be a close call, right? But why is that?”
“I have luggage that needs to be carried carefully. “If I think about that, I think it would be difficult to get out safely.”
There was no reason for their overall abilities to be better than those we had defeated so far.
However, they were numerous and were natives of this area who knew the terrain well.
If you run away, there could be a problem with the luggage you were carrying, or you could be caught up and a big fight could break out.
I would win, but then things would spiral out of control.
“Uh…… So what does that have to do with blowing up this place?”
Ines asked.
“It can attract attention. Moreover, there is an armory on the first floor here. “It’s not like we don’t have any materials to use for detonation.”
“Attracting attention? But even if I burst out, I would have to face them, right?”
I shook my head.
Then I moved my finger from the ceiling to the window.
Where I pointed, there was a building that was somewhat spaced apart.
However, there was a building next door that was relatively lower than this building.
“As soon as it explodes, you’re going to jump off the roof and run to the next building? “Isn’t this such a scary thing to do?”
“It is better to act like a coward than to act confidently and ruin the work.”
You may ask whether blowing up the building here will cause damage to the buildings next to it and below.
If it collapses properly and completely, there may be damage.
Although this was a black market, the gaps between buildings were wide.
A few pieces might fly off and get stuck in the window, but honestly, there wouldn’t be any more damage than that.
Also, even if that were not the case, there was a high possibility that the items in the first floor armory alone would not be powerful enough to collapse the building.
Even if some of the items and windows inside were damaged, the core structure of the building would survive.
“Gangsi, if you blow it up like that, it looks like a lot of people will die. Is that okay?”
“What on earth are you saying after killing all the people?”
“Are you talking nonsense? To begin with, I only suppressed it and didn’t kill anyone. And the people who actually fought were people who entered the building with weapons.”
“That’s what it sounds like. “A lot of people are dead or about to die anyway, so what’s the difference?”
“Um…… Is it taking a toll on your mentality? “Honestly, just blowing it up is a bit extreme.”
It’s not about killing the Sharelteans, it’s about killing the people of Earth.
Unfortunately, I didn’t fundamentally feel a lot of guilt.
I don’t know if they drank marijuana or ate aceticum since the fight, but they were all drugged anyway, so why would they feel guilty?
They were just druggies and gangsters who caused social controversy.
Even the justification was more advantageous to me.
I was attacked while shopping in peace, and I came here for a stable future.

What’s more, since it means punishing drug suppliers, what better justification can there be?
Because of this, I felt like a hero in my own way and there was no psychological burden at all.
“I’m fine. I came here with a certain degree of determination. And these questions should be asked of this person, not me.”
I looked at Ines right away.
Ines stayed by my side and shook her head.
“I’m fine. From the beginning, drug addicts thought culling was the answer.”
“This is murder, are you okay?”
“God did not tell us to worship drugs and live recklessly, unrighteously, and far from godliness. “They didn’t even tell me to give up on humanity and become a devil and spread it.”
I don’t know what he was talking about, but it seemed like he had reached an agreement with God in his own way.
It was strange to discriminate against others while seeking God, but I was relieved anyway.
Because the rationalization of religious people goes beyond imagination.
Even if things go a little badly, I will be able to handle it mentally enough.
“So, we agreed to blow up the building and run away?”
“Yes.”
“I have never agreed…… Ouch! Okay!!! Okay!!”

Preparing for the explosion was not very complicated.
This was because the bomb itself was in the armory on the first floor.
“Gangshi! Haven’t you moved yet?! “These bastards are trying to break in through the door?!”
“Wait a minute! Almost everything has been moved to the 2nd and 3rd floors! When I give the signal, block the door with the bookshelf and come up!”
Rather, it was more difficult to deal with the thugs who had re-entered and to prevent the thugs outside from entering than to prepare for the explosion.
It was natural since they told us to only catch those who came in and hold out the rest with the door closed.
It would have been easier if I had just killed them all, but I didn’t want to be more visible here.
If your face is revealed with just one simple mistake, you could end up in a situation where you have to kill everyone outside.
Naturally, in this respect, it took a bit more than a thousand horses.
It was fortunate that he entered the building without showing his face as much as possible, but now he had to go outside again.
“Wait a minute, Gangsi. What’s this?”
“The mask you will wear. “I made this roughly by tearing up clothes that were in that guy’s closet.”
“Uh…… “I wore sunglasses and a hat to begin with, but is it really necessary?”
“I give it to you because there is a need for it. “If you think about your history, you will probably be one truck that you won’t forget even if you only see it for a moment.”
“Oh, I didn’t know you would admit in a situation like this that my appearance is sh*t.”
“That’s not what it sounds like now.”
Also, that was not simply the end.
Everyone wore long clothes to hide not only their faces but also their overall appearance.
“Wait a minute, doesn’t that just have to be worn by you? I don’t think it’s necessary for me to do it…….”
“We need to reduce at least one thing that can be used as a basis for tracking over there. So don’t talk nonsense and put on your coat.”
“What kind of camouflage is wearing a trench coat over a raincoat… ….”
Because I was an awakened person to begin with, it wasn’t a weight I couldn’t handle.
It just looked a little less cool.
“Marie! “Take the two people I put in the corner of the 7th floor and come up to the roof!”
“Wait a minute, are you taking the cat and the fat dog too? “Why don’t you kill them by beheading or something like that?”
“For now, it’s more profitable to take him with me. “Nothing good will come of killing me here.”
A cat prisoner who was kept in a corner of the 6th floor.
A fat man found on the top floor.
Actually, I tried to take the other captives as well, but gave up because the thousand were already half-killed.
I went straight to the rooftop where it was raining with everyone.
However, a thousand horses came up carrying something strange, along with prisoners with gags on their mouths.
The large silver metal box seemed too heavy for a woman to lift.
“Mari, what is that?”
“This? “The safe on the 7th floor.”
“Why do you want to take that with you?”
“Travel expenses.”
Mari, the travel expenses are a bit expensive.
Wouldn’t it be right to leave it behind, even if it means being tracked down by gangsters later?
That’s how it was explained.
These were words that made no sense to a low-ranking person.
“If there is a safe, it’s ‘common sense’ to open it, right?”
I’ve never learned that kind of common sense.
What’s more, it’s not just a safe, it’s a safe with bonds and land documents?
“Oh really? “Then there are even more reasons to complain.”
“Ah.”
“And it’s even more strange that the safe was kept in an obscene manner in the first place, so it wasn’t opened.”
“Even though I am being tracked from the moment I make a transaction?”
“Oh, it’s okay~ It’s okay~ I have a lot of experience washing things like this. “There is a way to avoid getting caught. This is it.”
I really don’t know.
There was no way to stop him as he was holding it as if it were a shrine.
I gave up and stepped onto the rooftop.
Ines looked at the ground and trembled.
“Oh my God. “Is it possible to go beyond this?”
“Everyone is wearing a hunter watch anyway. “Because it has a protective shield, it will be able to withstand the impact of falling.”
By the way, what should we do with the two prisoners brought in?
I was going to cross over with a thousand horses tied to my back.
“I tied everything up. Never roll when landing. Because I have a hunter watch anyway. “Just take all the impact with your legs.”
“I know that much, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
“Okay, then that’s a relief. Still, you never know. “I’ll check again to make sure it’s fastened securely.”
Inspecting what is carried on the back of a thousand horses.
It was inevitable as the weight to be handled was well over 200kg.
However, I wasn’t worried about Cheon Ma-ri, who was lightly lifting a 500 kg barbell with one hand.
They were worried that the ropes and wires would come loose and cause an accident.
I was fiddling around with the bodies of thousands of animals carrying people in the safe.
Then Ines looked at me coldly, as if she was displeased with something.
“…… But what about me?”
“Huh?”
“Do I have anything?”
“Oh, of course there is. “Here.”
I handed over a bag containing food ingredients.
He looked at this and made a sullen expression.
“This is the bag I found in that fat guy’s room. “I put a bag of food ingredients inside.”
“… ….”
“Don’t spill this and take it with you. Got it?”
“…… End?”
“That’s right. If you look at the rooftop entrance, I will have even brought a gun. Take care of that too.”
“What is that…?” … Hey, wait a minute—”
I just carry a bag and a gun anyway.
He said he would do well and approached Cheonma-ri again.
What was the problem with that appearance?
Ines sighed so loudly that even here could be heard.
Like that, Cheon-mari picked up Fat and I tied up Su-in, the cat.
Ines packed food ingredients, guns, and ammunition.
Now all that was left was to set fire to the fuse connected to the second and third floors.
I lit the fuse with the lighter I found in Fat Man’s room.
“I will count to three. Run according to the timing. Got it?”
I checked the time on my phone.
The time was counted based on how much is burned in one second.
As time passed, I became increasingly anxious.
The sound of a door breaking was heard from downstairs.
At the same time, it was also the moment when the time had come.
I spoke in a moderately low voice.
Three.
Two.
One.
“Now is the time! Run!”
