Chapter Index

    ***

    [Customer, we have sent everything. I would appreciate it if you could send me the remaining fabric after excluding the advance fee.]

    I cheerfully answered the husky male voice.

    “Yes, thank you for your hard work. I’ll send it right away, so check it here.”

    I sent the money through internet banking.

    “I sent it, please check it.”

    There is no word from the other side as to whether the deposit will be confirmed.

    After a while, they hung up, saying that the deposit had been made and asking me to use it again.

    An email was sent to my inbox.

    I downloaded the PDF file and opened it.

    For the first time in my life, I used a criminal investigation office.

    I was worried that Ho-cheol might be worried, so I went to him secretly and asked for it, but it seems like money is the best.

    At first, the head of the National Investigation Agency, who thought I had come to investigate the affair of an unfaithful wife, tapped the calculator here and there and quoted a rather high amount in response to my request, which was larger than expected.

    Although it was a large amount, it was better for me to conduct a thorough investigation, so I intentionally paid more and asked for accurate information.

    The boss, who was a bit grumpy, treated me very graciously when I gave him more money.

    Their work was accurate, and today I received perfectly organized information in my hands.

    I lost money, but… what can I do? There are many things in the world that are more important than money.

    After talking about the cafe employee, I found out that she was up to something without my knowledge.

    Since it was likely to cause physical harm, I wanted to use people to check the damage.

    Thanks to this, I had more things to devote my time to, and I became physically distant from Mr. Garam.

    The reason for doing this background investigation rather than directly asking her and blaming her was to find out how bad she had done.

    And depending on that, I plan to change the way I treat her.

    If the severity is not severe, continue to teach her the good as you have done so far.

    If not, he was planning to take her to a mental hospital or face a proper criminal trial.

    I turned the mouse wheel and checked the information provided by the criminal investigation office.

    The recent status of people directly or indirectly connected with me was as follows.

    – Bowling club member, male, had his teeth pulled out by force and was hit in the abdomen several times. Although his life is not in danger, he has suffered significant psychological damage and is currently receiving treatment at a hospital.

    The guy who yelled at me at the bowling alley.

    – A cafe employee, a woman, was suddenly pushed and collided with a car on her way home from work. Since the car was driving slowly down an alley, there was no risk of life-threatening injuries. Currently discharged. A police investigation was conducted into a related case, but the suspect could not be identified.

    The employee who tried to bring me dessert.

    – A fast food restaurant employee, male, was indiscriminately assaulted on his way home after drinking with friends after work. The suspect could not be identified as he was drunk and his memory was incomplete.

    While using the kiosk, the employee became annoyed with me when I inquired about a malfunction of the machine.

    – A car center employee, a man, was hit on the back of the head by what appears to be a piece of wood, and is currently hospitalized.

    The person who got into an argument with me because the cost of tire replacement was ridiculous.

    And many more.

    Something bad happened to people I had minor conflicts with.

    Should we consider ourselves lucky that no life was in danger?

    You naturally click your tongue.

    ” Mr. Garam….”

    I thought about it, but I didn’t realize it was this serious.

    I think all of these problems stem from my pride.

    This is already the fifth dimensional shift.

    I thought I was used to death, and I was also used to the types of people who were obsessed with me.

    So I believed I could control them.

    The first two people killed me without me having to do anything, but Mina and Master’s faith was solid because they communicated with each other.

    I can control this situation. I can control these women’s emotions.

    So, I was confident that I was adapting well to this damn world.

    However, the pigeon bitch who put me through this ordeal had a bad attitude, and Mr. Garam’s obsession was a little different from the type I thought of.

    Her aggression wasn’t directed at me. However, even if it is not directed at me, it does not mean that the aggression is not there.

    This means that it was a bad strategy from the beginning.

    – Ding Dong

    The doorbell rang. Probably the jajangmyeon I ordered for dinner.

    Perhaps because I ate poorly all day, my stomach was growling.

    Yes, I already knew the situation. Let’s think about it while filling our bellies.

    “Have I been ordering too much delivery these days?”

    I rub my belly, which has gained weight again, and head toward the entrance.

    Okay, let’s eat until today and exercise hard again.

    Since the research has been completed, you can continue exercising as is. For the time being, I will stick next to Mr. Garam and be careful not to let him go astray.

    Put on your slippers and open the door slightly.

    I hold the bowl of Jajangmyeon visible through the gap in the door with my hand.

    As I squatted down and brought the dishes home, I heard a familiar voice.

    “I told you that you shouldn’t eat things like that.”

    I looked up at the voice and saw Mr. Garam, drenched in sweat, looking down at me.

    And I felt it.

    I must never let her into the house.

    I staggered to my feet and pulled the door open.

    The door, which was being pulled in this direction little by little, stopped at some point.

    “Is it because you’re not dressed properly? are you okay. I am.”

    The door that was being pulled gradually moves away.

    The door makes a clanging sound and screams.

    I pulled the handle with both hands and leaned my body backwards, like a tug-of-war at a sports event.

    That’s how our standoff began.

    I planted myself on both sides of the door and applied more force, and Mr. Garam occasionally called out to me and pulled the door open.

    I pull the door, she pulls the door.

    If it closes a little on one side, it opens on the other side right away.

    If I close the door again with force, she opens the door with force.

    If you just close the door, the door lock works.

    Then it’s time to call the police.

    No matter how Mr. Garam is, he won’t be able to break down this thick iron door.

    Just close the door.

    Finally, when I tried to close the door with all my strength, I felt something rising from the back of my neck.

    “Ah… No way…”

    I started to feel dizzy because I exerted too much effort and my blood pressure rose.

    Even as my vision gradually turned black, I pulled the door, but as my consciousness drifted further away, I felt myself falling backwards.

    ***

    “Huh!”

    And when I opened my eyes, I was still at home.

    I am lying in bed.

    I blink and try to remember what happened just now, wondering if it was a dream.

    He must have hit the back hard while falling, so there was a big lump on the back of his head.

    It hurts when I touch it.

    This pain told me that what happened just a moment ago was not a dream.

    Look around. Mr. Garam is nowhere to be seen.

    Get out of bed and take a walk.

    – Cheolgruguk

    With the sound of chains, the shackles on my ankles caught me.
