episode_0029

A woman’s first impression is intense.

Among the many hunters here, no one noticed her.

She appeared in an instant as if she were not of this world.

The woman utters the name of the chairman in a low, indifferent voice.

“Lee Taesun.”

He knows.

Hardly anyone knows his real name.

At most, you can see the chairman’s name in documents like contracts.

Which means…

“What, a debt collector?”

The chairman looks at the woman he had summoned with annoyance.

It’s a look that seems to say, “Don’t you even realize the situation?”

“The repayment period. It’s already been. Half a year.”

But the woman seems unconcerned about such matters.

“So you came to collect money yourself?”

Taesun rises calmly from his seat.

And takes a deep breath.

“All the counters are dead. Entrusting debt collection to a woman who can’t even write Korean properly.”

He chuckles and coughs due to the smoke.

However, the woman does not react to his provocation.

She simply asks about the business at hand.

“The client wants your throat cut. To serve as an example for other debtors.”

“What…? An example?”

The killer thrusts a dark, plain blade towards Taesun.

It’s a blade similar to the one Jack fell to earlier.

“Do you have the ability to pay right now?”

The chairman laughs sardonically.

Then he blows smoke towards her.

“No, you crazy woman.”

“Alright.”

Just two words.

As Anna finishes speaking, my gaze falls to the ground.

Because the blood of the chairman, who seemed godlike to me, is pouring out.

“I will settle it with your head.”

Everyone stares in shock at the killer.

Taesun staggers with his neck half-cut, trying to hold onto it somehow and steps back.

There’s a strange satisfaction on the chairman’s twisted face.

Watching the blood flow abundantly makes my heart race.

I’m not sure why I felt this emotion.

But one thing is certain—I want him dead.

“Get rid of… get rid of her!”

The chairman shouts, his voice cracking.

In response, the staggering guests rush towards the killer.

A human wave engulfs her.

Anna throws herself into the wave without hesitation.

She splits the thick flesh of a guest and slips into the gap.

Covered in blood, she easily emerges from the wave.

She dodges the charging grandmother.

Splits the running child in half.

Grabs the hanging woman’s head.

And looks at her target.

With dilated pupils.

A guest’s body is slammed against the counter.

Soon, a cheerful song starts playing from the speakers.

My debut song, “Focus.”

Everyone literally focuses on the silver-haired killer.

I still can’t forget that ecstatic sight.

That moment was when I first felt affection for someone.

Free, uninhibited.

More professional than anyone else.

The true idol I desired.

It’s being realized before me now.

The elegant restaurant’s glass windows are splattered with blood.

Outside, no one would know what’s happening here.

The chairman is trembling.

Even the S-rank hunter, the Ranker who has faced many challenges, is intimidated by the woman in front of him.

He waves his trembling hands around.

But there are almost no longer any guests moving normally.

They all crawl on the ground like insects.

The sound of Taesun’s teeth grinding reaches here.

He sits on the floor and shuffles backward.

Until he hits the counter wall.

The silver-haired killer approaches the trembling Taesun.

“I’ll give you money, just give it to me!”

“…”

“If you send that woman to the assemblyman, the money will come in!”

The chairman points at me with a shaking hand.

The killer follows his gaze and looks at my face.

Her white eyes pierce through me.

My whole body shivers as if penetrated by her beautiful face.

From below my navel, warmth gradually spreads.

The warmth rises soothingly.

“I want it, right now.”

She averts her gaze from me and commands, “I’ll get it, no matter what! Just give me a day…”

A stained blade cuts through the counter.

In the process, the boss’s arm is severed.

“—!”

He screams as if trampled to death.

The killer then proceeds to cut off his remaining arm.

Now the boss can’t even smoke his beloved cigarettes anymore.

“That was… because of the smell. It got on my nerves.”

The shop’s music reaches its climax.

The lively electric guitar sound echoes unabashedly.

Soon, the music stops briefly.

And the silence is filled with the sound of something hitting the ground.

It was the boss’s head.

The head rolls on the floor before coming to a stop.

Then, our eyes meet.

His face reflects all the expressions I’ve ever made while looking at him.

Bloodied hands grab the hair.

The killer places the head on her hip and casually walks past me.

Gradually, my debut song fades away.

The muffled sound of the synthesizer adds an air of mystery to the departing killer sister.

I stare intently at her.

And soon, our eyes meet.

Her enigmatic gaze looks down at me.

Her smooth lips, without a single wrinkle, part.

“It’s a good ability.”

My mind goes blank.

It feels like receiving a divine revelation.

“My path… trembles.”

“Don’t hesitate to use it. Just kill freely.”

The words of the white-haired killer feel almost virtuous.

Was it all about killing everyone…?

Just get rid of everything that torments me?

A breeze enters through the sheer breasts revealing undergarments.

I shiver as the wind touches my body.

The corners of my mouth twitch.

Yes, it’s better to kill than to be killed.

This sister is right.

It feels like receiving absolution from God.

Sweat trickles down my back, making me acutely aware of each drop.

“Sister… What’s your name?”

I ask as she moves away.

However, she doesn’t even bother to tell me her name.

She simply lifts the boss’s head and leaves gracefully.

I watch her intently.

Admiring her figure, I trace my fingers along my hips.

The slender waist and hip line with every step.

It was so beautiful, incomparable to the room sisters I had seen in catharsis.

But I couldn’t observe her forever.

As she leaves, the hidden twin bodyguards appear.

They carefully hide their fearful expressions as they handle the boss’s corpse.

Picking up the headless body, I have no idea where they intend to take it.

They each grab an arm or torso and look at me with the same disdainful expression as always.

“What are you doing? Let’s go.”

They mention heading to the doctor since the van is parked out back.

Were they hiding during the employer’s death only to fulfill their duty now?

Ignoring the bodyguards’ words, they approach angrily as if annoyed.

A dark shadow looms over my face.

“Are you crazy? Do you think that woman will protect you too?”

One of them grabs my arm forcefully.

But his shadow didn’t scare me as it did before.

Instead, I feel grateful.

Now I have a reason to use my abilities to the fullest.

I smile slyly.

The burly men frown at my smile.

Their frowns quickly turn into confusion.

Confusion turns into fear.

Red mist erupts from my body as if possessed.

I unleash the fear and disgust I’ve felt for so long onto the world.

“—!”

The bodyguards scream like babies.

Pale as ghosts.

Black blood oozes from their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

Two A-rank hunters collapse helplessly.

The entire store is painted red.

Eventually, no one survives in that store.

The more joy I experience, the more people die.

This was my happiest memory.

“Angelic Hand terminated.”

“…”.

I unconsciously took a deep breath.

It was a habit I always had after using Angelic Hand.

But soon, I regretted it.

Only now did I realize that the inn was still overflowing with Anna’s pink pheromones.

The moment the gas entered my mouth, my whole body trembled.

I wanted to go to the bathroom.

But my body wouldn’t listen.

Jae-hee was hanging on me like a cicada.

She was licking my neck with a strange passion.

Consuming the soap scent left by Anna.

It was ironic that she, a pheromone user, clung to me as if aroused by Anna’s scent.

“Did Unni also hug Anna like this?”

My whole body felt sticky.

Her sticky sweat droplets soaked my body.

“I think I understand a bit why Anna chose you, Unni.”

“…”

I tried to move my lips somehow.

But still, no sound came from my throat.

“The more I touch, the softer your body becomes, and it’s adorable.”

She was doing to me what she had done to Tae-sun.

Having given up all remaining rationality, she was becoming just like the men who had tormented her.

Even though she was barely nineteen.

My crotch was getting wet.

Her groin touched my moist skin.

As my body grew stranger, the sound of my heartbeat faded.

My heart was exhausted as if wearing a very long lace.

I could only moan in pleasure and death simultaneously.

Blood started trickling from my nose.

Soon, I couldn’t think at all.

With my face buried in Jae-hee’s collarbone, I savored her scent.

And then, I died.

“…”.

The shop entrance opens.

The sound irritates my half-closed eyes.

There shouldn’t be any customers at this hour.

Has Ji-wook returned?

If he really has, it’s dangerous.

If the incompetent Ji-wook inhales this potent smoke, he’ll collapse immediately.

The sound of shoe heels grows louder.

It doesn’t seem like a man’s footsteps.

Could it be Anna?

If it is Anna, please, I hope this crazy girl detaches herself from me.

“Si-ho?”

But the voice wasn’t Anna’s.

It was slightly more feminine and gentle.

“Have I come too late?”

Jeoksada.

She didn’t come as a decoy but as her real self to the inn.

I instinctively twisted my body at her voice.

But Jae-hee, who was hugging me, pulled me back when I tried to get up.

Fully entwined around me, she blocked my mouth.

Like the company CEO who silenced her voice.

Intoxicated by the fragrance, she squints her eyes.

And covers my lips with her fingers.

“What’s this smell?”

Jeoksada, seeming annoyed, removes the handkerchief from her blazer pocket.

Then, casually unties the cruel pheromones like pollen, releasing her nose.

With a thin counter between us, an entirely different world unfolds.

“Please… save me.”
