As with any place in the world, an abandoned building is the perfect place for outlaws to gather. Unmanaged buildings and unacceptable people leaned against each other to fill the lack.
Even today, in the abandoned building, the predators of the urban jungle were counting the loot.
No. 2 smiled at the small glass bottle filled with golden powder.
“Heh heh. That's great. Number one, you did well.”
The disease was not great. It was a small glass bottle the size of which if you put your index finger in it, it would reach the end before it was all in.
However, valuable items tend to prove their value in a rather small size.
An item that required a separate bottle for just this amount meant that what was inside was so important.
“This is spice. At least a level 2 luxury item, depending on the type, something that can go up to level 4. It's something that low-level 0-level people can't have and can't have. We'd rather spend it on something more meaningful to us.”
No. 1, who actually stole the item, had a dubious expression on his face.
“It’s just powder, but it’s expensive, isn’t it?”
“You really didn’t know? Why did you just take the powder?”
“just. Because I cherish it, I beat it up and took it away.”
“Ehh. It's a miracle that a foolish bastard like you stole this.”
“What, you bastard?”
Ignoring the angry No. 1, No. 2 continued.
“I know I’m from ‘Market’, but it’s expensive. I'll have to find out the exact value, but hopefully I might be able to buy a car. It is a luxury item that disappears into the body by eating. In the military, things like this are sold preciously.”
“Are you a foolish bastard looking at me? Do you want to see how much a bastard who gets hit by a stupid bastard will cost?”
“No, Mr. I'm still arguing about what happened in the past.”
“Did you just do it?”
No. 3, who was watching No. 1 and No. 2 quietly, suddenly spoke.
“Are you at risk of being tracked?”
No. 1 was arrogant.
“no. In fact, I didn’t even check it halfway through.”
No. 3 said seriously, as if he was not relieved by No. 1's words.
“Be careful though. The tail may have been trampled.”
“a. Who keeps track of a level 0 citizen getting hit a bit? Even if a level 0 citizen reports it, it will not be accepted. It is saying that there is nothing to be caught up on even if you put your mind to it.”
“So that’s what I’m saying. If it's the police, they'll openly attack you. If there is any backstabbing, I will retaliate thoroughly.”
No. 1 waved his hand saying not to say nonsense, but No. 3 did not pass. At his strict attitude, No. 1 clicked his tongue and muttered.
“That paranoid bastard is here again.”
Normally, No. 3 would have said something against him, but for some reason today, he was immersed in something and did not respond.
“There is no way that level 0 can get spices. I'm sure there must have been someone who passed it on to him. Maybe there are other boats.”
“What if I have a back belly? If so, would you compare yourself to him?”
No. 1 giggled and laughed, and No. 3 didn't deny that either.
A new wind that has come to this back alley is a storm with the power to shake up the old order. A true darkness that will drive away miscellaneous filth. Shadows cast over the military.
With his power, those who were hiding under the persecution of the military might not be able to breathe again.
Therefore, he couldn't be afraid of the back of a level 0 citizen.
It would be disrespectful to him.
“If I were to call it a back alley, it would be Seungnyang. Compared to the strong man who looked down on the general, and who is rumored to have escaped from Tantalus… It really is just a joke.”
Number 1 proudly said. He had an attitude as if he was lucky to have followed him, or as if it was an honor he would never have again in his life.
#3 sighed and got up from her seat.
“… I get it. When I'm done, I'll go to the bathroom and come back.”
No. 1 shouted at No. 3, which was far away.
“If possible, come cheap from afar! You can't report to him that you've been caught urinating near the base!”
“Do I look like an asshole who can’t stop in the middle?”
“Hey, I didn’t come out. I can’t stop.”
“This kid… .”
No. 3 left without saying anything because he was in a hurry. No. 1 and No. 2 chuckled and picked up lukewarm beer.
Level 1 luxury, compressed beer.
Since it is compressed and sold in a lukewarm state, it cannot be eaten by people without ice. However, it is the only alcoholic beverage available to the general public.
No choice. I don't know if it's after they seize the power in the back alleys, but now I have no choice but to choke on this terrible beer.
No. 2 murmured while pouring water into a beer mug.
“You need to know that little pee pee. Because the peebo level is level 0… .”
“I bet. Galen, no, no. 3 That's going to get caught for urinating on the street before any other crimes.”
“Then I’d rather be lucky. The military police won't give you time to dance your pants. If you are attacked by someone like that, you can't go anywhere and talk… .”
thud.
The two of them, who had been biting and chewing on the people who were not here, shut their mouths side by side at the sound they heard from downstairs. The two held their breath for a while and listened, but after that sound, nothing was heard.
No. 2 said with a frown.
“No. 3, are you? Isn't it cheaper just downstairs? It smells, so I told you to buy it from afar!”
There was no answer. #2 got up from its seat and headed towards the edge of the abandoned building.
In a building with no walls yet built, at the end of which if you stumble a little, you might fall straight down to the 5th floor.
“what. No one downstairs? Did the wind blow?”
No. 1 worriedly pointed out the precarious appearance of No. 2 with only his head sticking out from the tip.
“Hey, Milsen. Isn't it dangerous? I think it will fall.”
“Baby, you’re scared. Are you worried about Galen too? What's dangerous about this?”
“You drank beer. Even if it slips.”
“Looking at it, I don’t know how these idiots got into the organization. If you're a drunken idiot after drinking a beer, you should just walk away and search. I'm nagging like I'm a mother… .”
Ignoring your mother's nagging
For No. 2, who doesn't know anything, I also gave sincere advice.
“You must listen to your mother. It is advice that she is all blood and flesh.”
“uh?”
The moment No. 2 asked me stupidly, I condemned the disloyal. The wire hanging from the hook twisted and wrapped around his neck.
I muttered as I grabbed the other end of the wire.
“The crime of ignoring nagging, umbilical cord punishment.”
“Ouch!”
Shortly thereafter, his body, strangled by a wire, was dragged to the edge. Embarrassed, No. 1 hurriedly grabbed No. 2's leg.
Thanks to this, No. 2 was pulled from both sides and became strangled.
No. 1 shouted at No. 2, which was rattling.
“Who are you?”
“I am a sad and hungry human being that I lost dinner tonight. I have come to avenge my unborn dinner.”
While No. 1 moved away from the stairs, I trudged up the stairs.
After that, the plan succeeded.
I can't fly because I'm an ordinary human being, so it was really difficult if they were guarding the stairs. Thank you for letting me know where you are.
No. 1 noticed my appearance late and said.
“You are this child! How did you do number 3?”
“The little bladder man is covering the wall he has polluted with his body. I think his bone is dirtier than the contents of his bladder, though… . Lady, I feel bad again just thinking about it. let's get it right Take a breather for a moment. ”
It's worse to be seated on the fifth floor than to commit a crime. It took a long time to get up. If you are a human living with your feet on the ground, please use the first floor.
“Who are you? Who sent it?”
“The world sent it down. By the way, are you still beating people endlessly these days? Aren't you afraid of the harsh judgment of the military criminal code?”
As I strode closer, No. 1 stared at No. 2, who was choked up in a hurry. If he didn't catch it, it looked as if #2 would fall down the fifth floor, strangled.
'I can't help it. If you are attacked in this state, both are over. I'd rather leave it alone. One of them has to live!'
No. 1, who was firmly determined, closed his eyes tightly and let go of the hand he was holding.
No. 2, who opened his eyes wide in a sense of betrayal, stretched out his hand in vain, but it was after he had already left. The pulled body of No. 2 barely draped over the edge of the edge, and then suddenly disappeared.
I admired it.
“Wow. put it right I thought you were holding on a little longer.”
“This motherf*cker… ! You killed #2!”
“no. It is you who put it down.”
I don't just kill like this. No. 2 will be floundering downstairs in a wire net I made. Feeling betrayed by you, well? can you feel
However, No. 1, unaware of this, got excited and took out a sharp-edged knife from his pocket.
“Are you alone?”
“I feel lonely these days.”
He raised the magic hat slightly and responded. No. 1 clenched his sword and looked at his footsteps.
'There's only one gicheok, that guy. He doesn't look that strong. If he had been a strong man in the first place, he would have attacked from the beginning instead of attacking and destroying them one by one.'
1's prediction is correct.
I am an ordinary thug. He is a very normal person who is wary when there are two opponents, runs away when there are three, and suffers when stabbed with a knife.
So, you have to do your best when dealing with this kind of idiot.
'I must have thought of a surprise attack when I was holding the 2nd. But it's wrong. We are already determined No. 2 will understand.'
It wasn't. I am quite resentful.
No. 1, who had arbitrarily organized his mind, glared at me with his burning eyes.
“I’ll avenge #2 and #3, you bastard!”
No. 1 raised his sword and ran straight ahead.
I don't really want to fight head-on. If it's strong, it's a matter of strength; if it's weak, it's a matter of weakness. I want you to avoid tripping over my feet and stabbing me while fighting.
therefore.
“Voila.”
I took out the hidden card.
A card with six diamonds and six rhombus arranged in a circle.
'card? What are you going to do with that?'
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary card.
But the true identity is the alchemy equipment that I made with all my fortune. A crystal of money made by writing one alchemy coin on one card, or two at most.
The card is converted into an annuity via a biometric terminal. In an instant, all the cards were released and their true appearance was revealed.
Its identity is a small revolver that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.
Number 1's eyes widened.
'Oh, a gun?!'
yes, gun.
bang.
A bullet that killed the noise hit his ankle. There was a big hole in his ankle.
It was not able to penetrate due to its lack of power, but the bullets fired from such a close range were enough to stop ordinary robbers.
“Ouch!”
At least it's a gun. Humans don't die right away when they get shot. If I had endured the pain and stepped forward as it was, if it had attacked me in that state, No. 1 might have been able to win.
However, the number 1 was insignificant beyond me being a regular criminal.
Unable to bear the pain, No. 1 lost its balance and slipped on the ground. After changing the revolver back to the card, he grabbed a skewer and sat on top of him.
Having easily conquered No. 1, I said calmly.
“friends. If you don't want to be friends with me anymore, let's make a compromise now. This is enough for me to be handed over the spices and finish it off.”
“ね! dog sound… !”
No. 1 under me struggled without losing a bit of fighting spirit.
I almost fell because of his strenuous struggle, so I had no choice but to stab my shoulder with a skewer.
“aah!”
As soon as something entered his body, No. 1 became more docile. Instead of making more fuss, he clenched his teeth and shouted.
“Do you know who we are? We are the 'shadow' of the military! Kill me and he won't leave you alone!”
him? what else is he What kind of organization is the shadow? Why did strange things enter the back alley with nothing to eat while I was away?
Well, first of all, that's out of my interest.
Because that's not what's important now.
“Okay. Where's the spice? I want you to give it back to me because it's a little pricey.”
“under!”
Perhaps he didn't understand the current situation well, so the number 1 bluffed to the fullest even when it was lying underneath.
“Spice? huh. it's in my stomach Did you split the boat and take it out?”
That's a lie. He hid his spices in his inner pocket.
There is a way to just go through the clothes and take them, but I was curious about the source of that baseless bluff, so I asked.
“I don’t mean to say things like that, my friend. What if I split your stomach apart?”
“under! Did you try! Do you have any clue about that?”
I kept my mouth shut, because those curious words were surprisingly sincere.
While I was silent, No. 1 spoke triumphantly.
“Why are you scared? We were all prepared to go after it. Are you going to commit robbery in the military without any determination?”
I did.
If caught for committing robbery in the military, the sentence is at least 15 years of labor. Depending on the number of people who attacked or the type of crime, a summary judgment may be given.
Even now, if you wash your hands and go to bed, there is a good chance that you will survive… .
“If it’s our destiny to work for the rest of our lives, until we break down and eventually break down! I'd rather live a luxurious life! If it is for him who will make our wishes come true, he is ready to die, even to kill him!”
I understand. As a mind reader, I understood his wishes and desires.
'I am a lower class citizen of this country without dreams or hopes. Only he can change this fate! He will overthrow the army and reign in the dark! Then, as his follower, I too can change his life… !'
There is no dream, no hope, no romance, and no luxury in this country where the military and the state have stepped in and took over everything. It just wears out slowly in the repeated daily life.
The future of a country where everything is controlled is too firm and controlled gray. Those who have romance only wither and die.
However.
“my friend. Saying that you are prepared to die is not an understatement. Especially in front of me.”
No one alive has yet died, so I don't know if it's true or a lie that I was prepared for death.
Even if they are sincere right now, there are many cases where they struggle ugly right before they die.
However, those who claim to be prepared to die often use that determination as a weapon to kill others. As if he could pay for that sin with his own death.
Without proving that they have the ability to repay, they continue to create sins.
So, if there is someone who is prepared to die. At least if your belief in your resolve is true.
You have no choice but to try
I said leisurely.
“Actually, the spice’s nickname is gold powder. Only the pistils of flowers that are occasionally found on the southeast coast are picked and dried, and it is the finest spice that can buy a lot of land with just a handful of powder. It is a luxury item to eat, so even the military can sell it at a very high price.”
“haha! Sorry! Something so great would be my shit!”
'It looked kind of unusual… ! All right, just cheat on him, or tell him if it gets stolen! It will help his cause… !'
“But voila. The spices are here.”
I waved a bottle full of powder that glowed golden in front of him. His eyes instantly lit up with embarrassment.
'I must have put it in my inner pocket. How did know?'
“I am a magician. They say you can get things out of the box without touching it. Even though this box was your rice cooker.”
Naturally, I read his thoughts and picked up on it, but I spoke as if I had really pulled it out of his stomach.
“I know that? The flower from which this spice is made is a poison that can die if eaten incorrectly. Although the pistil is the least toxic and has a unique flavor, this spice made by drying and compressing it… If you eat too much, it becomes poison that kills people.”
'What? poison… ?'
“Actually, more people would have died to claim this spice before that. So from the old days, this spice has been compared to human life.”
So his statement that he ate all the spices had to be a lie… .
not now though.
“Like you said, I have neither the will to die nor the will to kill me. A person who is not prepared has no right to possess a spice as precious as a human life.”
He let out a sigh and grabbed his hair and lifted it up. A round card was inserted through the gap in the slightly opened mouth.
unclosed mouth. While number 1 is confused. I held the spice bottle with two fingers. The doubt that appeared in No. 1's eyes gradually turned into fear.
“Sorry for taking it out. I will bring it back.”
are you okay. Because the glass bottle is strong.
If you're lucky, you might be able to survive.
