Hoarding in Hell Novel

Park Do-ryeong's head was unharmed, but her mask was broken. One side of his face was revealed through the torn mask.

His eyes were white as if he had cataracts.

Hyunmoo patted Doryung Park harder on the neck and whispered.

"Let's hear it somewhere as a commemoration of surviving, what was the plan?"

As Park Do-ryeong groaned, Lee Ji-tae could not bear it any longer and stepped forward.

"Mr. Kang Hyunmoo!"

"Stay still."

Shrek.

At some point, Hyunmoo pulled out his ride and aimed at Lee Ji-tae.

“I have no reason to argue with you right now. Lee Ji-tae. My business is only with this child.”

Park Do-ryeong looked at Lee Ji-tae softly instead of saying anything.

The gaze mixed in silence drew Lee Ji-tae stronger than a few words.

Kang Hyunmoo really wanted to kill Park Do-ryung. But Lee Ji-tae had no intention of leaving it like that at all.

Lee Ji-tae quickly closed the gap while Hyunmoo swung his tom. The sound of the blades hitting each other resounded sharply.

Hyunmoo's eyes became sharp.

"...Now, Park Do-ryeong is in a powerless state."

"So this is the best chance for interrogation, isn't it?"

"You don't have to torture me like that!"

"Okay? Then, shall we try it kindly?"

Kang Hyunmoo kicked Park Do-ryung in the face while pretending to take his foot off.

Lee Ji-tae got angry and stopped in front of Park Do-ryung.

"I don't understand. Why are you blocking me? That guy was trying to kill you. You came all the way here to catch him, didn't you?"

"Even if I do interrogation, I do it! Not you!"

"There, you."

Hyunmoo said to Park Do-ryeong, who was lying behind Lee Ji-tae.

"Tell me. Why did you try to kill us?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Park Do-ryeong muttered, wiping the blood flowing behind her broken mask.

"As I said before, I'm only here to find red butterflies. I have no reason to kill you guys."

Park Do-ryung's blatant response, Age attitude, left her speechless.

The 'self-immolation' skill is a powerful skill with a high level of utility that is comparable to the ultimate skill.

Even within Lee Ji-tae's wide network of people, Park Do-ryung was the only person with the ability to clone himself. Park Do-ryeong was the only person who could handle such a large number of clones.

Hyunmoo's smile became cruel.

"Did you see it? Taking it away? Is it like this if you treat me kindly?"

"...Park Do-ryeong."

Lee Ji-tae lowered her body in front of Park Do-ryung and asked.

"I know you tried to kill me. Why? I know that you and I promised not to cross the line no matter how much we broke up. Isn't that the promise we made when we split?"

"It's not a promise, it's a bomb that you unilaterally tied up. It explodes when one of us falls apart.""Is that so?"

Lee Ji-tae looked at Park Do-ryung and asked.

"Did you think the bomb would disarm when I died?"

Park Do-ryeong looked at Lee Ji-tae.

In her white eyes, where she couldn't find color, she couldn't find any emotion.

Park Do-ryeong's gaze glanced at her Lee Ji-tae, then slowly lowered down.

"No. I said I had no intention of killing you."

"under."

Hyunmoo chuckled as if it was ridiculous.

Then, suddenly, realization came to Lee Ji-tae. If she wasn't trying to kill herself, it's hard to believe that she was targeting an enemy butterfly.

But, isn't there one more candidate he can aim for?

Kang Hyunmoo.

I was so obsessed with my relationship with Park Do-ryeong that I couldn't even think of it.

No, he may have reached it, but Kang Hyunmoo's clever remarks made him think that Park Do-ryung was after him.

But why is Park Do-ryung aiming for Kang Hyunmoo?

Lee Ji-tae turned to Hyunmoo.

"Mr. Kang Hyunmoo, why were you waiting here with Red Butterfly?"

"I told you. I was waiting for Park Do-ryeong."

"...are you trying to protect me?"

In Lee Ji-tae's calmly asking tone, Hyunmoo noticed that Lee Ji-tae had already noticed almost everything.

He had no intention of wasting time by arguing like Park Do-ryeong.

"no."

Hyunmoo said with a twisted smile.

"At first, I thought I was going to be joking around. To find out what my true intentions were. But he attacked me first. I was sure he was going to kill me. You must have seen it. I put a bomb inside my clone."

"that……."

"Yeah. If Park Do-ryung hadn't intended to kill you, he would have thought of killing me. But what does that change? Knowing that he wasn't aimed at you makes me feel pitiful. But?

Park Do-ryeong answered Hyunmoo's words with a stern attitude.

"I've said it before, but I don't know what you're talking about."

Hyunmoo moved towards Park Do-ryung again, and Lee Ji-tae quickly stopped him.

He looked confused, but he couldn't let Hyunmoo execute Park Do-ryung privately.

"...even if Park Do-ryeong really wanted to kill me, Nabi, and you, that would not be a reason to commit murder. no see."

"court?"

Hyunmoo made an absurd expression as if he had heard the wrong sound, and he burst out laughing involuntarily.

Lee Ji-tae tried to cool down, but Hyunmoo wasn't the only one who heard the laugh.

Park Do-ryung was smiling too.

Kang Hyunmoo muttered unbearably.

"Ah, Lee Ji-tae. You really..."

Lee Ji-tae also knew that it was difficult to prove Park Do-ryung's allegations.

It is also difficult for him to pass the clan leader level to trial during the Northern Expedition.

But this was a 'non-negotiable' area.

"What's funny? Do-ryeong Park You are a person who despises the system, so I understand. Kang Hyunmoo, are you that kind of person? I thought you were the one who, like me, believes in the need to control the capable people with the system and system."

"It's similar, but the mindset is completely different. But... Ji-Tae Lee, you're still living in the old days. How can you keep your mindset like that when you say you're preparing for the future?"

It was Park Do-ryung who answered Kang Hyunmoo's ridicule.

"Ignore it. Lee Ji-tae. That's who you are. That's why I chose you."

At Park Do-ryung's words, Lee Ji-tae looked back nervously.

"You choose me, what do you mean?"

"You are the only hope."

Park Do-ryeong raised his gleaming eyes and looked at Kang Hyunmoo. Hyunmoo relaxed his knuckles as he delightedly received the gaze.

“Close your eyes for a second, Lee Ji-tae. Or did you come to see the red butterfly for a moment? Did you wish to hold hands with me? Now is your chance. Let’s get the score.”

Lee Ji-tae bit her lips tightly.

She wanted to team up with Kang Hyunmoo. It is true. But it wasn't like this.

Ji-Tae Lee was planning to grind and polish the raw stone called Kang Hyunmoo to make it even more shiny.

As a being who will shine brightly with you.

However, such a private execution was unacceptable.

You can turn a blind eye to an unfortunate incident that occurs during battle, but you should not execute an opponent who has become powerless.

Kang Hyunmoo had to know that too.

That there is a line that should not be given up.

"Mr. Kang Hyunmoo."

Who in the world can tame this monster? Who can lead me on the right path?

Even if everyone is fascinated by Kang Hyunmoo's agility, he shouldn't be alone.

"You are still human."

In the end, Lee Ji-tae decided to block before Kang Hyunmoo's 'worst' baseline went further down.

"I don't want to be hostile to you, but I will stop you here so that you can continue to be human."

***

Lee Ji-tae stood up, clutching his sword.

Kang Hyunmoo's expression shook for a moment. It was impossible to tell whether the expression on his face was disappointment or contempt.

Lee Ji-tae thought Kang Hyunmoo would rush right in.

'okay? Then you die.' Because it was like Kang Hyunmoo, who rushed to him.

But strangely, Kang Hyunmoo did not move.

He looked at Lee Ji-tae, and opened her mouth.

"star."

"Yes?"

"You said you heard the whispers of the stars, Lee Ji-tae? Was it the leading star and the brightest star? Which star did you choose?"

Lee Ji-tae hesitated. When he made contact with the stars, the first ones to come were Chromium.

Chrome had told him never to tell other people which star he had contacted.

Until now, it was the logic that revealing the star to which it belongs could reveal one's weaknesses and at the same time give an unacceptable shock to mankind.

However, only Kang Hyunmoo and Park Do-ryeong are in this position. Both of them must have heard the whispers of the stars.

"I am a leading star. I have been chosen as the leading star, Yerul's agent."A momentary shock was put on Hyunmoo's face.

Lee Ji-tae couldn't figure out why Hyunmoo was surprised. Kang Hyunmoo also thought that there was a high probability that he had made contact with the stars. Otherwise, his strength cannot be explained.

Lee Ji-tae re-asked the question she had when she first met Kang Hyunmoo alone.

She said, "Didn't you hear the whispers of the stars too, Mr. Kang Hyunmoo?"

"I am……."

Kang Hyunmoo was silent. He looked startled and perplexed.

Lee Ji-tae saw Hyunmoo like that for the first time. Hyunmoo hesitated for a while, and then finally opened his mouth.

"I haven't picked anyone yet."

Lee Ji-tae was surprised, but he thought he could.

With Kang Hyunmoo's strength, there are of course many greedy stars, but Hyunmoo doesn't need to be particular about stars.

Lee Ji-tae said cautiously.

"It's better to choose carefully."

Instead of answering, Hyunmoo let out a long sigh.

"I'll leave it to you for now. Lee Ji-tae."

"……thank you."

Hyunmoo put his arm on his waist and grimaced for a while, then turned his back and started walking.

did you give up? Lee Ji-tae was relieved.

He was unlikely to lose a fight with Kang Hyunmoo, but he didn't want to create a fighting situation.

Lee Ji-tae looked down at Park Do-ryung. Park Do-ryeong smiled weakly and stretched out her hand.

Lee Ji-tae pretended to grab his hand, and then she slapped him in the face. Park Do-ryeong lost her consciousness.

Lee Ji-tae picked up Park Do-ryung and followed Hyunmoo.

***

Hyunmoo was at the forefront, thinking about Lee Ji-tae's words.

'You are still human.'

It was too natural to say, but difficulty: It was an unusual word for Hyunmoo, who came to see Hell.

There were people in the form of human beings, but there were monsters all over the sky.

Right now, Ha-hyeon was a close person, Song Yeo-woon, who had changed.

Hyunmoo cut, ripped, killed, and ate those monsters.

And yet, is he still human? The question was deliberately ignored.

Because he couldn't live without it. What is the use of thinking about it?

Then he heard about something he couldn't possibly avoid.

the star of the end.

If he degenerates himself, maybe he will become a being that made the world a hell.

Lee Ji-tae's warning was addressing Hyunmoo's concerns.

In particular, when he learned that Lee Ji-tae was likely to be a 'white bone', a being who died trying to protect the world until the end, Hyunmoo had a hard time ignoring his words right away.

Hyunmoo's gaze turned to the air.

"But."

Hyunmoo whispered so softly that no one could hear it.

"In that world, Lee Ji-tae, neither you and I seem to have succeeded."
