Episode 61. forest
The morning at Jiiksa Temple passed quietly.
After clearing up his curiosity, Kang-soo left the temple after talking with Man-jeong.
The inside of the temple was going on as usual.
Then, a male monk was sweeping the yard and headed for his quarters.
After looking around, Namseung stopped by his room and went into the woods. I checked my back several times.
It was then that I took out my clamshell cell phone from my pocket.
push-
“Ugh!”
Something flew in with the sound of the wind and pierced Namseung’s wrist.
It was a bullet.
After dropping his phone, Namseung’s eyes grew fierce and he checked the direction the bullet had come from.
There stood Kang-soo holding a gun with a silencer.
“If you move more from there, it’s your head next.”
“…Uh, how…”
“Did you think I didn’t know how many times you looked at me while cleaning?”
I was just looking at the words. There was a murderous spirit that flowed out in an instant.
Kang-soo felt the presence while talking with Man-jeong.
So, after going a little farther from the temple, I took a detour and came back.
I was dubious, but I didn’t expect to witness such a sight.
At this, Kang-soo went closer and pointed the gun at him, picking up Nam-seung’s dropped cell phone.
puck-
At that moment, Kang-su’s knee flew into Nam-seung’s head.
“Big!”
well done
As Kangsu knocked him down, he took the beads wrapped around his other wrist.
“Since you can’t wear a ring, did you hide it in a rosary?”
A seam was visible on one of the beads. When I opened the gap, there was a pill inside.
“What the hell are you…!”
Push- Push-
Kangsu pierced Namseung’s ankles with two bullets.
It was to make sure it couldn’t walk. At that moment, Kangsu jumped up and grabbed his neck with his left hand.
“Grow!”
Because of that, Namseung couldn’t even scream properly.
However, as if he saw it as a counterattack, he swung his remaining arm at Kang-soo.
Papak! Pak- Wooddeuk!
However, Kang-soo’s arm holding the gun was entangled in an instant and twisted.
“Keugh!”
Unable to use both hands, Namseung’s eyes trembled.
I looked at Kang-soo like a ghost.
“If you’re guarding this place like this, it must mean that there is something.”
How and when would you guess that someone is coming to Jiiksa?
If not, it meant that there was something that shouldn’t be revealed in Jiiksa or Angel Wing Nursery from the beginning.
“But won’t you? right?”
Kangsu then lifted up the man’s sleeve.
There was a mark on the inside of his right forearm that looked like a pharynx.
It was the location where Savnak was tattooing.
“Because Savnak would never tell me.”

Namseung, who was caught by the throat, glared at Kangsu with a more surprised expression.
“bye. Your friends in hell will be there for quite a while. We will go further.”
Wood deuk—
Kangsu immediately grabbed Namseung’s hair and twisted it. It wasn’t to the extent of fainting.
At this, Namseung collapsed to the floor as if the thread had snapped.
Kang-soo, who confirmed his death, walked down the mountain with his cell phone in his hand.
Silence came to the forest.
Another male monk cautiously poked his head out from behind a tree near the place where the male monk’s body had been placed.
He approached the fallen body.
I didn’t even have to put my fingers up my nostrils or down my throat.
Because of the loss of life with both eyes open, I was able to know death more clearly than in any other case.
In response, Namseung put his hand into his bosom.
push-
A bullet flew in from somewhere and pierced the man’s head.
The river that had pretended to have gone down the forest was hiding behind a tree.
“Not one, but two…”
Even in the arms of Namseung, who had just collapsed, Kangsu found a clamshell phone.
There was also an earthquake mark on his right forearm from an iron.
“What the hell is this place…”
.
.
.
Manjeong, the abbot of Jiiksa, held a Buddhist service in Daejeon and headed to her lodgings.
Then I opened the door to the dorm and came in and stopped.
“This… the donor has returned.”
“Because there are things left to do. I’d like to sit down and talk for a while.”
“…that’s right.”
Manjeong moved slowly and sat down in her seat where the table was placed.
“Ah, I never dreamed that Monk Manjung’s preference would be the 19M, a Glock compact model. Monks these days seem to count 9mm bullets like beads.”
clap—
Before he knew it, Kang-soo took out another pistol from behind his back and loaded it.
At the same time, Manjeong’s right hand was pushed under the table in front of him.
“Great, did you know?”
“At first, you hid it well. But what if you hide it alone? The other guys are immature.”
“I thought that Muam and Haedong could not be seen, but I think he crossed the river first.”
“I think you know what you will see the moment you put your hand through the rosary.”
He was referring to the poison hidden in the rosary.
Kangsu had no intention of keeping him alive anyway, but until then, he intended to extract as much information as possible.
“…the donor seems to know quite a bit about us.”
“If you’re not going to tell me why Savnak is guarding this place, it won’t be easy to go.”
“Ouch, you are quite scary. It seems that you have unfortunately lost your way.”
Manjung, as if surprised, hesitated as he sat down and put his hands on the floor.
“If it is an emergency bell placed on the floor, it will be useless because the line has been cut.”
“…”
“In a temple like this, a pistol and even an emergency bell. I thought it was a fortress. Is there an armory down here by any chance?”
“…”
subtle response. Kang-soo did not miss that fleeting moment.
In an instant, Manjeong overturned the prize in front of her as if she were flying it.
Push- Push-
At that time, Kang Soo also shot at Manjeong.
However, as soon as the statue rose, it must have turned 10,000 degrees, and the bullet cut through the air and hit the wall.
In the gap, Manjung turned over the clothes piled on the side and rushed toward the door.
Quadang— Tattang!
At the same time, Manjeong’s Glock held in Kangsu’s left hand spewed fire.
It was because the gun in the left hand was closer in angle and the killing rate was higher.
“Kuh-”
Manjeong was hit on both ankles and collapsed.
It was not intentionally killed.
At that time, some monks who had heard the gunshot lifted up their sagging sleeves.
Pushyuk— Pushyuk— Bang!
A pistol with a silencer in the right hand, and a Glock in the left hand.
The bullets fired from both hands entered the head and heart before the monks who rushed there could pull out their guns.
After the three monks were clearly knocked down, Kang-soo approached monk Man-jung, who was bleeding from both ankles.
“Is there really an armory here?”
“…”
“Even if I die, I won’t tell you.”
In a dangerous moment, they were the ones who swallowed the poison first.
Kang-soo thought there was no way to do it right away and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
push-
The bullet pierced Manjeong’s head.

No one else came out of the temple after that.
The number of signs he had initially grasped matched the number of men he had killed.
“Whoa—”
Kang-soo let out a sigh for a moment and looked into Man-jung’s arms.
well-
A remote control that looked like a smart car key came out with the sound of something hitting.
It was a black remote control with no markings, only buttons.
“Is there a device?”
Kangsu drove the bodies of the monks into one room and headed for Daejeon.
I checked everywhere and didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
Of course, I didn’t think that they would hide something in a place where people often come and go, but they were so bold that they needed to be meticulous.
Then Kang-soo’s gaze turned toward the dorm where Man-jung had been killed earlier.
“If it’s all in one barrel anyway…”
I wonder if there was someone among the monks who did not know their identity.
All were Savnak. In the first place, the temple called Jiiksa was disguised as his hiding place.
If so, it was clear that a safe place would take precedence over stealth.
“···room?”
Kang-soo went into Man-jung’s room and looked at it.
I found an emergency bell on the floor and turned it off, but I couldn’t check anything else.
While searching here and there, the cloth wardrobe did not move as if something had caught on it.
When I opened the zipper and pushed through the layers of clothes, there was a door.
“They’re really diverse.”
When I checked how it was locked, it was a fingerprint reader.
In response, Kang-soo brought Man-jung’s body and opened it.
“Then what is this remote?”
At first, I thought the remote control was the key, but seeing that the secret door opened, it wasn’t that either.
Beyond the door, there was a stairway down.
It was to secure a secret space by creating a gap in the long list of accommodations.
I went down like that and there was a switch, so I looked up.
click-
As the surroundings became brighter, all kinds of weapons such as knives, guns, and grenades were placed around them.
It was a real arsenal.
“and···. under-“
Kang-soo was so depressed and absurd that he could not speak.
But I didn’t have much time. It was already until morning, so I didn’t know if someone would come up the mountain.
So, I quickly searched the arsenal, but nothing special came out.
“Is this place used only as an arsenal?”
The last time I kidnapped Gil Tae-yong with Theresa and fell into a trap, I found out where the weapons the enemies were using were procured.

Not sure, but very likely.
After thinking about it, Kangsu took a grenade and came back up.
Then he pulled out the pin and threw it into the middle of the temple yard.
Kwak-kwang-!
The sound of an explosion resounded in all directions.
A storm blew over the fence, blowing dust in all directions.
In the meantime, Kang-soo went back into the forest and ran toward the place where he parked his car so as not to be seen by others.

[Six monks were found murdered by firearms at a temple in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and an arsenal made of a secret space inside the temple and a huge number of various weapons were found together, so the police….]
[Buddhist groups remain silent about this…]
The world became noisy again.
It was natural that firearms, grenades, and even weapons such as knives were found inside the temple, as it was not enough that monks were killed by firearms in the temple, not anywhere else.
In the meantime, Kang-soo returned to Gong Chi-young’s Internet cafe and watched the news together.
“Is the real world crazy? how······.”
Gong Chi-young put the coded messages in Kang-su’s cell phone that he had taken from the monks into an analysis program.
“I was dumbfounded too. I never thought that the place I was in would be their lair…”
“But is it okay to kill me like that? There was something I did last time, so won’t the police chase me?”
“If you didn’t kill me, I would be dead. And maybe because of what they were doing, there was no CCTV.”
“Then it’s fortunate, but…”
Seriously, it was a life and death situation.
Gong Chi-young was also in charge of support while at Ejisto, but he knew the weight well.
Depending on your support, the lives of your comrades may come and go.
Of course, even though his skills were recognized, he had no choice but to be cut for a moment of wrongdoing.
“How about a message?”
“Hmm… I think this is a bit serious?”
“why?”
“I think I’ve been hired to kill.”
Gong Chi-young displayed several messages on the big screen.

The contents of about 50 messages that were decrypted were brutal.
Gong Chi-young searched for those names in the article.

Not all of them came out, but most were said to have died by suicide or accident.
