Former and present (3)

Behind the administration vehicle.

The shadow cast on the lower part of the trunk wriggled, and soon a lumpy object protruded and took on the shape of a person.

The finished body was about 160 to 165 cm tall, and the head was bald with not even a single strand left.

It matched the appearance of Yoo Young-tae registered with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“Seongbuk… dong.”

In the midst of this, blood was flowing down the inside of the car window, but he was busy comparing it to the previous stage while staring at the beige outer wall of the mansion.

Atherton (California) and Seongbuk-dong.

Looking at the mansions lined up in a row, both of them are wealthy villages. The difference is that Korea is surrounded by mountains instead of the coast.

Yoo Yeong-tae, who gave a rough estimate, seeped into the shadows again, activated the [five senses], and dealt with those who remained on the alert.

“Ouch!”

Since inanimate objects were relatively free, they used the shade of the instrument panel to throw daggers into them.

“Kuh, gureureuk… … .”

The guys who made me feel particularly uncomfortable cut the nape of their necks at an angle and care about dying slowly.

However, since the method I was accustomed to in the end was to overlay physical force on the shadow, by the time it became annoying to deal with it – 10 out of 30 were slaughtered at once.

The cause of death was carotid artery rupture.

The motive for the crime… It was anger that had built up over the years.

In fact, from the scene of the murder in Incheon Port to the inside of the first barrier, it is because he secretly followed the agents and overheard all sorts of insults.

Wanderers, rats, social misfits, and so on.

Thanks to that, I reached the rich house easily, but it seems that it was not enough to hit the price of gossip in the end.

beep-

But at the same time, as a Korean-American, Yoo Young-tae, there are parts that I couldn’t know in advance.

The headquarters of the management bureau recognizes that the survival signals of the agents in charge of Seongbuk-dong are cut off at once, and immediately takes emergency measures.

Along with the transmission of a warning message through the security line, the special riot police and nearby people with special abilities were called.

just as expected.

The intruder sensed the anomaly as soon as he climbed over the wall.

“Don’t go out of sight. Help will come from outside, so we just need to wait.”

“how long will it take?”

“20 minutes for the Administration Bureau, and the group raid… It will be different by distance. From what I heard, senior Muyeol, the second team dealer, bought it the closest.”

As if they had entered a full-fledged alert, four boys and girls walked out through the front door of the mansion.

These are Daun Go and Gwang Ryu, who are adopted by the first president.

It was Ahn Woo-ram and Im Mi-rae from the third president’s side.

Maybe they weren’t on good terms, and while deciding where to stand the boundary, the conversation was only exchanged with each other.

“Future, let’s stand in the back. Considering each person’s ability, that’s the right thing to do.”

“yes.”

However, the words were spoken to the ally, but the content contained the intention of persuading the first son’s adoptive son, and the opponent also reluctantly took a seat in the front.

Godown’s main attribute is [Transformation], while Ryu Guang’s [Summon Earth Spirit] allows him to defend to some extent.

The other two specialized in attack and detection, so it was difficult to take responsibility for the front lines.

“Would you like to take a look around?”

“wait for a sec.”

And in exchange for the implied concession, Lim Mi-rae, who is favored by the third president, gently closed her eyes and activated her abilities.

“Purreum, resist the unknown and be shaken. Please inform me of the change through the immutable system.”

self-

The moment [Plant Manipulation] spreads out around the mansion, the gardener’s hand, and the vines and lawns that were showing off their beauty.

Trees deliberately grown so that there is no empty space drop their leaves in order from left to right.

The site was quite large, and the whole stem did not move because it was an act to detect intruders, but because it was an evening with no wind blowing, it gave off a foreign feeling.

However, in the eyes of the man hidden in the shadows, it was nothing more than a trick.

Again, only my abilities were revealed.

‘I couldn’t go as far as manipulating organic matter, hehehe.’

Actually, Yoo Young-tae is 44 this year.

He has built up his own intuition based on his middle-aged age, and he has the [Instinctive Evasion] skill thanks to his long life of escape… It is not difficult to estimate the level of combatants.

The differentiation of this ability is a total of 3 stages, plant manipulation – organic substance manipulation – biological manipulation.

If Mi-rae Lim had reached the [organic matter manipulation] stage, he would have delayed stealing.

Naturally, his instincts didn’t tell him to run away.

* * *

Seonghan Choo, a 4th grader at the Hero Training Academy and a person with 5th grade talent who was highly anticipated by the family (?), jumped down the stairs to the 2nd floor and hurriedly headed for the front door.

Quadd!

The defense zone given to me was the 1st and 2nd floors, and it reacted to the sound coming from outside.

In a way, there was no need to rush.

There are no dealers or tanks, but a party of 4 made up of 6th and 7th grade prospects won’t even waste time against a 5th grade outlaw.

One aspect of the noise bothered me to move forward leisurely.

Poof, get the card!

Now the work of Archer Anuram.

In addition, the roar that resounded along with the vibration of the floor just now must have belonged to Ryu Guang, who controls the Earth Spirit.

“Uram!”

“This bastard is cowardly! Come out- Kuck!”

There was no sound that could be attributed to an intruder, and there was a hint of urgency in the voices of our allies, so they naturally quickened their pace.

However, before reaching the destination, a front door shatters with a roar, and Go-down, who is eating a pot of rice under the first boss, is scattered among the wooden fragments.

I raised my head carefully at this, and across the doorway.

I saw a man with a short stature.

A dark aura shone through the whole body, and the face had no eyebrows… The impression was the same as the one sent by the administration.

“… It is you.”

“Hee hee, hee hee.”

It was only for a moment that I frowned at the grotesque laughter.

Seonghan Choo’s gaze turned to those who were scattered outside.

“Who got hit?”

“Sung, Sung Han.”

“Wake. Who and how injured?”

“… all three Guang Ryu was stabbed in the collarbone, Woo-ram An was stabbed in the heel and thigh, Mi-rae Lim… Im Mi-rae hurt her eyes. Be careful. It’s not normal to use that bastard’s superpowers.”

“… … .”

If this is the case, only high-down people remain, so in conclusion, is it a 2 vs 1 situation?

Considering the compatibility between the Assassin and the AD, the opponent is at least a 5th rank lieutenant (medium rank).

Compared to himself, who managed to reach the bottom of the 5th grade, he said that it would be difficult to win easily even if he added one more head – the young man judged calmly.

Relief measures for the wounded were a luxury.

Therefore, he takes a razor blade from his waistband and cuts my wrist.

The expression of the unique ability [Toxic Blood].

If it was training, the blood would have been extracted sequentially, but a large amount of blood was needed since entering the battle.

“How many bullets do you have left?”

“uh? Oh, that’s enough.”

“Then shoot now.”

“Okay-”

Before I could hear all the answers, drops of dark red blood that had been swimming in the air shot straight ahead and pierced the intruder’s chest with the sound of the wind cutting.

“Hi-Hi.”

“… … .”

Because the damage was absorbed through the shadows, the strange laughter remains the same.

And now, it was Yoo Young-tae’s turn to strike back.

* * *

There is no support for luck.

that’s my personal impression

I never thought I would pick it up and come to the Seongbuk-dong mansion.

It was fortunate that I stopped by the arsenal and picked up several daggers and a leather glove for my left hand, but the environment itself was not easy, so my anxiety deepened.

“Do you know how to use a dagger?”

“little.”

in the midst of this

I sit in the main building of the mansion, on the 2nd basement floor – the employee-only shelter, and answer Da-yoon Kim’s question, and she gives me a questioning look, but pretends not to win.

yes.

In fact, the biggest challenge… It means that I was not left in the study on the 3rd floor where the chairman of the HT Group is, but on the 2nd basement floor, and that too as a decoy.

It wasn’t that I didn’t try to get out, but every time I got my butt off the chair-

“Where?”

“… It’s frustrating.”

“Don’t get out of sight. The intruder was said to be an assassin. Besides, the ceiling was shaking earlier.”

“Okay.”

I didn’t know that the senior adoptee’s eyes would stick to me and fall off.

Well.

It would be necessary to go out at the right time, but there is still time to spare- about 50 people walk around the space where they can easily enter and receive the report from the scouting team.

By the way, the scout team refers to the new heads that were sent before descending underground.

<He’s pretty good too. He plucks the sage from my body and swings it in all directions. It’s because the shadow swallows are good at avoiding the original body, and the distance is getting closer. Oh, one hit. It sounds like we were right. I got a stab wound in my thigh.>

Toxic blood report.

Some of the words bothered me, but rather than that, it was more urgent to gather current information, so I moved as far away as possible and started talking.

“How much did your body melt?”

<Huh?>

“Every time you move, you warm up in the shadows. How far does it stick out to the surface?”

<Wait a minute. I’ll have to look at it from a different angle.>

The moment he replied in a tone full of excitement, as if he had become a cameraman.

The parrot immediately calmed down and announced that the battle was coming to an end.

<… Our side threw the odds. Awakening period, ‘sea of blood’. A decision will be made soon.>

“I lost.”

<I’m sure that will happen.>

I hadn’t seen it myself, but I felt familiar with how it worked.

His patience must have been eaten away by successive evasions, and the final blow was a stab wound to his thigh.

It’s an ability that requires meticulous adjustment of the amount of blood, but it must have been an unavoidable choice since it unexpectedly bleeds out.

I wish I had fought more carefully.

Due to the nature of [Shadow], it was obvious that the physical damage of [Sea of Blood] would be halved, so the result was also fixed.

<Explodes! Kwakwagwang~! Patter!>

“… … .”

It’s been awhile since I’ve been at a loss for words because of the fluttering words.

The reconnaissance team then asks for the answer they wanted.

<The surface of the shadow… It’s just sticking out like a crouching four-legged beast.>

“… yes.”

It wasn’t good news.

At that point, it’s above 5th grade.

The opponent’s ability was fully guessable, but the question of how much damage he would take was still left.

<I got hit. It stabbed me in the heart.>

“I will not die.”

<That’s right, he was the one who handled blood, right?>

However, unexpectedly, I had a lot of spare time, so I immediately approached Da-yoon Kim and met her eyes.

From now on, I had to go up to the third floor by any means.

“I’ll go outside and come back.”

“… Why?”

“restroom.”

“… … .”

“Urgent.”

Unfortunately, for me, this was for the best (unless you punched the other person in the face).

Why, I am speechless at the answer that comes back.

“… Toilets are also inside the shelter. Turn inside and enter.”

“… … .”

“… go fast too long-”

“I only use where I used to.”

“… … .”

damn it
