＜ Episode 63 ＞
What happened in the dungeon on the outskirts of the slums was an event that had a lot of meaning for Luna, but only a few people paid attention to it.

Most citizens were living an unchanging daily life as if rolling on a treadmill.
Same with Area 53.
Recently, as Luna’s economic indicators have declined, many experts have been talking about a recession, but Area 53 seems to have nothing to do with it.
Originally, the entertainment business does not ride the time.
When the economy is booming, it works as it is booming;
Colorful neon signs seduce passers-by, and the night streets of District 53, filled with desire, are full of energy today.
Passers-by who are drunk and do not hide their desires, pickpockets who blink their eyes to rob the pockets of such passers-by, prostitutes who fuel their desire with outright gestures, and pimps who hide behind them and smile meaningfully, From gamblers who try their luck with their eyes to drug addicts who lose their eyesight and laugh in a corner alley.
As long as there was bright light, there was order in its own way, but even if you went only between the buildings, all sorts of dangerous things lurked, and it was the mafia that kept order in these streets.
In fact, it is the entertainment district of District 53 that the public security has also let go of.
And a little girl was walking through the night streets of District 53, which seemed to have gathered all the lowly things that exist in this kind of royalties.
It was a very grotesque sight.
There was something strange about the sight of a beautiful young girl walking down the street without any guardians, enough to evoke admiration just by looking at it.
Kids become money.
I couldn’t believe that such a child had come all the way to this spot walking down the street at night.
It wouldn’t be strange if she was kidnapped right away and disappeared into the darkness across the alley, but the residents of Area 53 didn’t pretend to know her on purpose.
From people who turned their heads as if they hadn’t seen anything, to those who even made eye contact, they smiled awkwardly and quickly turned around and disappeared.
Even the mafia, who is coordinating the order in the streets, were showing the girl a light bow and treating her politely, and the girl walked the streets with a fluttering step, as if it were natural.
“what? What kind of kid are you?”
Someone blocked the girl’s way.
His drunken face was full of red flags, and his eyes were unprotected, as if he had taken cheap drugs as well as alcohol.
The man, who had a face full of gentle scars and a body that was not covered with artificial skin, looked at the girl with cloudy eyes, but soon came to his senses.
The long, messy blonde hair seemed to stretch out randomly, but it looked so natural.
Her elaborate features were cute enough to cause admiration just by looking at them, and the smile that floated gently on her lips was like that of a girl, but it also had a bewitching charm.
Its small body was fragile enough to naturally arouse protective instincts, but at the same time it had the power to arouse sadistic desires.
A very beautiful girl reminiscent of a fairy.
“Where did you find such a treasure?”
A shock enough to blow away the spirit of alcohol and drugs that had taken hold of his mind in an instant.
The desire boiling deep in his chest spread throughout his body, and the man’s lower legs seemed to swell.
“Why?”
It was a refreshing tone that made you feel refreshed just by listening to it, but it only threw fuel at the man’s growing desire.
The man with a distorted smile on his reddened face in a different way from before opened his mouth with a rough breath.
“…what’s your name? kid.”
An indescribable bad breath mingled with the smell of alcohol, cheap drugs, and cigarettes, but the girl did not frown and smiled brightly.
“This is Ekaterina. Who is that?”
“… Ekaterina. Your name is pretty too. My uncle says his name is John.”
The girl, Lina, clapped her hands and laughed.
“oh. The man I know is also John. Is it the same name?”
At that moment, John felt an indescribable feeling of jealousy welling up in him.
He wanted to kill John, who had the same name as himself, right away because there was someone he was more friendly with than himself, but he finally made up his mind.
It was clear that Ekaterina would live with the new John anyway.
“yes. like that. So, why don’t you get to know the old man?”
John, who tried to put the most friendly smile on his savage face, whispered in the softest voice he could, and the girl tilted her head with a cute face.
“Ugh. That’s a good idea.”
“right?”
Lina stared at John’s face with saliva forming at the corners of her mouth and continued.
“But before that.”
“Previously?”
“You need to talk to the other guys.”
“···What?”
The moment John made a puzzled expression at the unexpected story, there was a hand poking between John’s armpits.
“100 million! what?!”
“Sleep, stay still.”
John, who was awake, gave strength to both arms that he had replaced with the prosthetic body, but he was still steadfast.
It was a body with a fairly high output, but the strength of those holding it was more than that, and it meant that they were not ordinary implants.
“What are you…! 100 million!”
Embarrassed, John tried to scream loudly, but the fist dug into his lower stomach blocked John’s attempt from the source.
“Turn it off.”
Lina’s face came closer to John, who fell to his knees on his own.
Her face was still smiling like an angel, but the radiance that radiated from her crooked eyes was too cold to be considered a child.
“To get close to me, I have to talk to my uncles first. If the story goes well, we can see it again, right?”
Fear rose in John’s heart at the strangely touching words, and he began to tremble all over himself without realizing it.
“···uh. uh”
Lina, who looked at the fearful face for a moment with a pale face, stood up and said.
“There are a lot of strange people. You should pay more attention.”
“All right. miss.”
The sight of two large men dressed in suits bowing their heads in a respectful manner was very foreign, but it was not a sight that was unfamiliar to the residents of the District 53 entertainment district.
The child’s name is Ekaterina Danilova.
She is the daughter of Ivan, the godfather of the Pushkin Mafia that once ruled these streets, and the foster daughter of Igor, the godfather of the organization now renamed the Borkov Mafia.
If that’s all it is, other members of the mafia will try to do something to the girl, but that’s not the only thing the girl has behind her.
Fixer John Doe.
The girl’s guardian and no one, at least in Area 53, ignored John Doe, the confessor.
“Then see you again.”
With steps fluttering like a fairy, Ekaterina disappeared into the darkness of the entertainment district, and everyone in the street looked at her with complicated eyes.
They knew why a little girl who should have been asleep was walking down the street at this hour.
***
Fuck!
“Ouch!”
The space where the abandoned machines were pushed to one side was quite wide, and thanks to that, even the slightest sound resonated loudly.
Puck!
“Cheak!”
The dull sound of blows and screams pierced everyone’s ears, but the men gathered in the space did not change their expressions.
Cheeik!
“aaagh!”
The high-temperature blowtorch pierced his flesh, and the pain he suffered from the sticking flesh was beyond imagination, and the man had no choice but to scream.
with a splash!
“Ufu!”
Water torture follows.
Jjarararak!
“Ahhh!”
Electric torture using an illegally modified battery continued, but nothing other than a scream came out of the man’s mouth.
“Cheak! Wow! Kuck!”
A liquid mixed with oil, saliva, and blood flowed indiscriminately from the man’s mouth, who was tied to a chair with only his underpants on, but the miasma emanating from the man’s eyes only grew thicker and thicker.
There was no healthy place on his body, and the members of the organization who were watching him shook their heads at the man who did not break even though he had a serious injury that required an implant to be inserted with a high probability.
“You are tenacious.”
“flaw. hehehehe.”
The gang member who had been torturing the man for a long time stood up from his seat with a tired expression on his face, and the smile of a victor appeared on the man’s face.
The gang member who was torturing the man sat down on the opposite chair with a tired expression and asked for a cigarette.
Chick.
“after.”

Muddy smoke blew out at the man, and the wounds stimulated by the poisonous smoke were aching, but the man gritted his teeth and glared at the other person.
“If you did this much, wouldn’t you have kept your loyalty? Why don’t you blow it slowly? I can’t be sure if I do any more.”
The subject was missing, indicating that something could not be guaranteed, but the man was able to fully understand what it was.
“nice. Kkeuk. It’s no use. You better not think of hearing something out of my mouth!”
Even in this situation, the members of the organization showed admiration for the man’s behavior, and the man was able to smile even while moaning in pain.
What is needed in the underworld where trash gathers is the courage to get your hands dirty, guts, and bravado.
It was taught by a senior he respected, and that teaching was the driving force that led him until now.
Although the senior disappeared, the man who did not lose his teachings was able to climb higher and higher and overcome numerous crises.
I thought it would be the same today.
Even the trash of the underworld has romance, and there are surprisingly many people who admire fools who keep their loyalty under any circumstances.
‘great.’
Even though his body is a mess, if he can hold on a little longer, the organization will use his strength and he will be released.
What was in the man’s head was worth it, and at least the higher ups of the organization are negotiating to save him.
The man with a firm mind stretched out his shoulders with a relaxed expression as much as possible, and that figure even gave off the feeling of a tycoon.
The time when the member of the organization frowned, feeling that the atmosphere was over.
Sigh.
The door to the dark space, which had relied on incandescent lamps and torches, opened and light poured in.
bruise. bruise.
What appeared against the backlight was a tiny figure.
The man put on a dazed expression for a moment as he saw the girl’s figure becoming more and more clear with the light.
The sight of a beautiful child who looked like a fairy smiling brightly and approaching was not realistic.
But that’s only for a moment.
“Are you here? miss.”
Not only the gang member who was torturing the man, but all the men in the hall bowed their heads to welcome the girl, and the man felt as if the blood in his whole body cooled down.
“Sssscha.”
The girl who had approached me before I knew it, climbed up and sat down on a chair that was a little high compared to the girl’s body, and the man and the girl’s eyes met.
“Nice to meet you.”
“···yes.”
Just seeing the girl’s brightly smiling face seemed to make his heart feel at ease, but on the contrary, the man’s spirit became clearer and clearer.
“how about it?”
“I won’t open my mouth. I’m sorry, but the lady needs to work hard.”
“it’s okay. I came for that.”
Lina smiled and turned her gaze to the man and opened her mouth.
“Your mouth is heavy, right?”
It was a light word, but the man felt something heavy settle in a corner of his chest.
“···no way!”
Lina, who turned the bag she was carrying, took out the contents of the bag with her dainty hands.
The pictures drawn on the metal case, the size of an adult’s palm, seemed to represent the girl’s emotions, but the man’s face turned pale as he remembered something.
“No matter what I did, I couldn’t do it like Mr. I’m trying hard to remember and learn, but it’s not easy.”
The sighing was so lovely, but no one smiled at the girl.
“I was frustrated, so I asked the uncle, but he said so.”
click.
The metal case was opened, and everyone’s faces hardened as they checked the contents inside.
“You don’t have to do anything right now. If you start with the things you can do well, you will be able to do everything one day.”
There were delicate but hard-looking needles of different sizes, and Lina, holding one of the needles in her small hand, examined the needles cautiously.
“I think you are right. I started working hard on what I could do, so my skills improved.”
A bright smile spread across the girl’s face as she stroked the needle bent like a hook, and the man’s face turned white from his paleness.
The hardened heart is nowhere to be found, and only intense fear fills the heart.
As the senses of the whole body came alive, a terrible pain rose from the wounds engraved on the body.
“Then do it quickly. I don’t have much time because I have to have breakfast with you.”
“…Needle position!”
A fear-filled voice flowed from the man’s mouth, and Lina made a sullen expression.
“It’s not a nickname I like very much. Isn’t the confessional cooler than the witch?”
The man opened his mouth wide in surprise at the sight of the gang members nodding their heads hurriedly.
“ruler! for a moment! Eh, I’ll tell you…! Whoops!”
Before he knew it, the gang members behind him put a gag on the man’s mouth.
“I’ve come this far, but I have to work.”
A faint glow emanated from Lina’s eyes, and the girl’s superpower penetrated the man’s entire body.
The man’s head, which had been terrified just by coming into contact with the ability that was always activated around Lina, was completely terrified, and as he watched the needle in the girl’s hand slowly approaching her eyes, the man shook his body and resisted, but to no avail. There was no
“eww! Aww!”
A suppressed scream that could not come out from the gag began to echo in the space.
