60 – Distance to the Sun – 6
A dark night, assassins wearing black masks broke into the Imperial Castle of the Hyperion Empire.
The assassins’ goal is to assassinate a black-haired man in his early twenties and retrieve his belongings.
“…Is the palace the target?”
“Yes, according to the guy who infiltrated the imperial castle, a black-haired alien is staying here.”
“Kuhuk… Our organization’s strength seems to be considerable. To plant an eye even to the Hwangseong…”
Assassins spoke in low voices so as not to be heard by the people around them, and took out poisoned daggers hidden in their waistbands.
“The goal is at least level 40 or higher, so be vigilant.”
“Kikki…Don’t worry.”
The assassins opened the windows of the palace and entered the hallway, aiming for the guards to pass by. Then, moving at high speed, I started looking for a room with a target.
“…Did you say it was Room 4?”
“I heard that.”
The assassins searched the floor where the guest rooms were gathered and found room 4 with the target.
“I will spray poison.”
One of the assassins stood in front of the door to Room 4 and began using magic to spray a green mist through the gap below.
Since they all wore black masks, they calmly prepared to assassinate their target even though there was poison gas around them.
“…Go. Get ready.”
“Okay.”
“If you count to three, you will enter… 3…… 2… 1… Attack…!”
The assassin, who used poison magic, shouted three and broke through the door and went inside. Then, he started looking around the large room, about 30 pyeong, looking for his goal.
“…Found it.”
“Looks like you’re already poisoned?”
In the back of the room was a large bed, and on top of it was something covered with a blanket.
The assassins approached the bed cautiously, thinking that something under the covers was their target.
“… Die!”
The assassin stuck the dagger into the convex part covered by the blanket. Then something inside the blanket trembled and limp.
“…Is it over?”
“You’re boring. Let’s go and retrieve the Devil’s Stone.”
The assassin who stabbed the blanket couldn’t hide a bad feeling, but he thought it was his own misunderstanding and passed it over casually.
“The Devil’s Stone is not visible in the room. Check his corpse.”
“I know.”
The assassins looked around the room for a while, but when the object they were looking for was nowhere to be found, they determined that the object was in the body of the corpse target.
So I turned my gaze to the bed to check the body, and the bed was stained black with black blood.
“…Wait…Black blood?”
In that moment, they realized something was wrong.
“Why the black blood…?”
“Take off the blanket right now!”
The assassins, noticing that something was going on strangely, quickly lifted the black bloody blanket. Then, the black mist hidden inside the blanket began to pour out in all directions.
“Keuugh?! What is this!!”
“It’s a gift, but you didn’t like it?”

“Who are you…Whoa?!”
“Kehehehe?!”
“Ouch?!”
They saw a man through the blurry vision as they collapsed to the floor from a sudden impact on the back of the head.
“Goodbye.”
A man with dark hair was looking at them with an evil grin.
***
I thought.
Have I ever done anything worthy of being hated by someone?
If you think about the time period, there was no such thing as a grudge when I was in Korea.
From kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, to university, I’ve never had a fight with anyone, and even when there was a dispute, I always gave in first and resolved the situation.
Thanks to this, I often heard Lee Seo-joon say, ‘Are you a hogu?’, But I was confident. It was because I thought it was best to avoid fighting, and that it was right to block the occurrence of a grudge in advance.
Then, how was it after coming to this world?
Actually, I don’t think there is such a big grudge relationship.
At least the Lilith and Rex that were applied to me. Of course, there are some thugs I defeated during the day, but they couldn’t retaliate against me because they were in prison.
…But what’s the situation?
“So…What do I do with this?”
-What about killing?
“I’d love to… But disposing of the corpses is a bit cumbersome.”
-Then why not eat it?
“It looks like there is no taste, but something to eat. It just throws away your appetite.”
I thought I had been living a kind life, but strange bugs got me involved.
Those guys who wear black masks and openly boast, ‘I’m an assassin’. Even if you don’t know who sent them, if you meet them, they’ll send you to the other world with a cobra punch.
“Shall we wake up and interrogate just one person?”
-I don’t think it’s bad.
Usually, there are many cases where assassins like this are equipped with something so that they don’t reveal information even if they are caught…
Of course, this is just my imagination as a fan of fantasy novels.
“[Purity].”
I decided to wake up only one person using [Purity].
If this guy was a heavy-mouthed guy, he would wake up the other kids and interrogate them sequentially.
“hehehe… What the hell is this…”
“Are you awake?”
“Yeah… How did you…!”
Assassin 1 saw my face and showed a reaction as if he had met a ghost. He picked up a dagger off the ground and swung it at me.
Of course, I had no intention of just hitting it, so I used [Psychokinesis] And pulverized his dagger in an instant.
“All.. Daggers..!”
“If you don’t want to be like this dagger, gear yourself.”
“Kuk..! Shut up..!”
“Really?”
Kwajik-!
At that moment, I kicked Assassin 1 hard in the leg and shattered his leg bones.
“Keah!!”
“Question, why did you want to kill me?”
“Keep it off…! I don’t know…!”
Kwajik-!
This time I broke my shoulder.
“Quaaa!!!”
“Answer.”
“I don’t know..!”
Kwajik-!
“Turn it off..!!!”
“If you don’t know, you should make it known.”
Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik-!!!
“[Pure], [Pure], [Pure], [Pure], [Pure], [Pure], [Pure], [Pure], [Pure], [Pure], [Pure], [Pure] ], [Purity], [Purity], [Purity], [Purity], [Purity], [Purity].”
“Turn it off…..!!!”
I recently found out that this [Purity] Ability is an excellent recovery tool, but at the same time, it is also very suitable for torture.
Torture not only has physical pain, but also tremendous mental pain. In fact, it is said that among the old people who were tortured a lot, there were a lot of people who had mental abnormalities.
However, if this [Purity] Was used, not only physical recovery, but also mental wounds would be returned to their original state, so in theory, torture could be performed without any worries.
“I will..Speak…! So please..Please stop..!”
“I hate it.”
Kwajik-!
“Uh…Why…!!”
“Where are you talking badly?”
The assassin being tortured in front of me looked older than I was, but that didn’t matter now.
The important thing now is to completely kill this man’s spirit and make him divulge information.
“Mi..Sorry! So please stop..!”
“Yes, you can do it. Why do you speak so casually?”
“Sorry..Sorry!!”
Assassin 1 hit his head on the floor and apologized to me over and over again.
I raised him up and started interrogating him.
“Who ordered me to kill you?”
“That…That’s…”
“Kwajik?”
“Hee… Hee hee…! Boss… The boss of our organization ordered it..!”
“How the hell do I know if you say that. Who’s your boss?”
“I…We are members of a criminal organization called Apocalypse! The person who instigated us to assassinate is the leader of Apocalypse!”
Apocalypse.
A word that means the end of the world.
I didn’t think it was a name that a single criminal organization could use, but what can I do when I heard that they decided it that way. Even at the tavern I went to during the day, I used a grandiose name for nothing.
“So, what is the identity of the captain?”
“I…We don’t know either. I don’t know his face or name because he always wears a mask.”
“…It’s useless.”
“Joe..Sorry..! Please save your life..!”
“Okay, next question. Are you guys here for the Devil’s Stone?”
When the assassins burst into the room, I was eavesdropping on their conversation using the [Dark Curtain].
Surely these guys were talking about the Devil Stone, and I heard it clearly.
“That’s right. We infiltrated this castle to retrieve the Devil’s Stone.”
“…Did you know the purpose of this stone and try to retrieve it?”
“The boss said it’s a god that will make our wishes come true…”
“You’re a complete asshole, you boss.”
From what I heard from Veronica, the Devil’s Stone was a trash item that had no use other than summoning a devil.
Of course, if you have [Baal Zebub] Like me, things will be different, but Veronica asserted that the only beings with [Baal Zebub] Are the demon Baal and me.
“…Then next question, where is your organization’s hideout?”
“D..The basement of a tavern called Devil’s Tears on the streets of the moon is our gang’s home base!”
“Devil’s Tears Pub on the Street of the Moon…Okay.”
This gave me all the information I needed.
Now it’s my turn to repay the boss who sent me a present.
“Good job. I’ll let you go now.”
“I…Really…?”
“Yes, of course.”
Kwajik-!
“Keep it off…!”
“Sent to the underworld.”
I opened the door and came out into the hallway, leaving behind the guy who was coughing up blood on the floor. Then he called a guard passing by.
“Hey, guard man.”
“…? Why is that?”
“No, I want to ask you to tidy up the room.”
“…I am a guard, not a maid.”
The guard smiled and replied with an annoyed expression when I asked to tidy up the room.
“But I’m asking because the ladies-in-waiting won’t be able to organize this.”
“..A lady-in-waiting who can’t even clean up doesn’t work in the imperial palace.”
“No, take a look at my room first. For reference, room 4 is my room.”
“..Okay. I can’t help it.”
The guard openly put on an expression of discomfort.
It seems that he has no choice but to accept my request because he knows very well that a person who can stay in a guest room is definitely a person of a higher rank than himself.
“Then please, then I’ll go now.”
“Wait a minute, where…!”
“I have work to do.”
After using [Dark Curtain] In that state, I used [Psychokinesis] To get out of the window and fly up into the sky.
The goal is a tavern called Devil’s Tears in the town of the moon.
“Let’s go for a walk at night after a long time.”
-It’s going to be a little intense night walk.
I heard that exercising at night is good for the body.
