“Nice to meet you. How have you been?”
“You… how… ? It was there a little while ago… !”
“Baby… Chewy.”
Just a moment ago, I saw him fuming with his back turned to me, but when he actually faced me, his distorted face disappeared and his complexion turned pale.
The place we are is on the rooftop with a panoramic view of the school. Considering that Devin has come this far in a short period of time, he seems to know the structure of the school quite well.
“You, you… ! Because of you, I am like this… !”
“Who told you to call your accomplices and run away because you were so scared? Even if I hadn’t done that, I might have been only moderately responsible for the car accident.”
‘If that were the case, it would have all blown up when they tortured Bryce in the holding cell.’
As he laughed like that, blood appeared on Devin’s pale face.
Even though I said this, I could internally understand Devin’s reaction. In real life, is there anyone who has the experience of being killed by a peak expert?
It’s a bit blurry now, but I had a similar feeling when dealing with Tuma in the Tuseonhyeophaengnok world. At that time, the crazy man’s obsession with fighting rather than living was horrifying… Anyway, if it wasn’t for Namgung Hwaran’s help, the game would have been over.
‘Did I use too much force to live?’
Earlier, when his back was turned, I saw a pistol stuck in the back of Devin’s pants. I was angry when he didn’t pull it out even though he was scratched, but it seemed like he still hadn’t forgotten the fear he felt towards me.
Thanks to this, I was alerted to the need to make very slight adjustments when using life in real life. It is true that it is a useful technology, but if done incorrectly, it may have the side effect of causing everyone affected to suffer from mental illness. I thought it would be useful to use it as before, when it showed a weak momentum towards Moon Ji-yu’s biggest fan at the airport.
In this case, it is rather fortunate. As a criminal with no particular sympathy, I’ve learned to be careful when using my skills. If I had not been aware of this fact, a major accident could have occurred someday.
Seeing Devin frozen like a mouse in front of a cat, an idea suddenly occurred to me.
‘If my level gets higher later, will I be able to kill people just by living?’
Wouldn’t that make him an assassin who can never be traced in reality or travel destinations without special abilities?
However, I didn’t know what level I would have to reach to kill a strong adult male, not a weak target, just by killing him without releasing his inner energy. In the original version of Tuseonhyeophaengrok, there is no description of even the masters of Johwagyeong using such techniques. But that could have been because the enemies they faced were all martial arts warriors.
‘Well, if you keep raising your level, you will find the answer.’
As I was distracted, Devin cried out in tears, probably because he thought he was being ignored.
“I am now a wanted criminal! It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to do this dirty thing anymore!”
“Yes, yes. It’s all my fault that your life is like this… Did you want to shake it all off and live a great life? However, looking at the little people who blame others, it seems like even if they were successful, they would not have become very dignified people.”
I looked at Devin with pitiful eyes. Even during this time, he couldn’t come to his senses and was glaring at me.
“I should have run away when I had the chance. Do you mean staying awake and doing your best by sneaking into a party you weren’t invited to?”
Olivia’s waiting time gets longer. It was a waste of time I wasted because of him. I heard all the information I needed to hear anyway from Bryce.
I walked over to Devin, releasing my wrists. I was planning on breaking the neck cleanly and putting it in my inventory. Then Devin will also be treated as having quietly disappeared from the world.
“No time. Let’s quickly go to the place where our colleagues are waiting.”
“ too, colleague… ?”
Devin mumbled the word ‘comrade’ and his eyes widened as if he realized what he meant.
“Then what you said about the other guys missing… ! you… !”
“Yes. I sent it first. Now it’s your turn.”
Devin, who was shaking with fear, took out a pistol he had hidden behind him and aimed it as if he were convulsing.
“Ugh!!!”
Wow!
“ Click !”
I reached out like lightning and crushed Devin’s right wrist holding the gun before he could pull the trigger. And the pistol, which was about to fall to the floor due to a weakened hand, was placed separately in the inventory.
‘In the United States, if you just rob a few criminal organizations, you can build an arsenal in your inventory.’
If I go to a slum or an area with gangs nearby, I should think about shopping at least once.
“Ugh… !”
Devin, whose wrist was completely crushed, stumbled, clutching his arm with his good left hand.
“I thought I would just give him a shot, but this is a school. It’s already a sensitive place for guns… If there was a gunshot, not only would the party be canceled, but Olivia would also be surprised. Then it would be difficult. Are you going to take responsibility?”
He grabbed Devin’s neck with a clicking sound.
Wow…
Devin felt the tightening grip and stuttered, swallowing his breath.
“Sigh… If you kill me now, everyone will die!”
“Die? What are you talking about?”
The guy suddenly started struggling and screaming loudly. I relaxed my grip for a moment at that incomprehensible sound.
“Explain.”
“Chlokkolok… A bomb was planted in the gym where the party was taking place… ”
“Bomb?”
Those words were hard to believe. Suddenly it was a bomb.
“There’s no way a bastard like you would know how to make a bomb. Are you going to bluff before you die?”
If that was the case, I was willing to torment him as much as I could rather than let him go cleanly.
“I didn’t make it… These are items that were secretly stolen when running away from the original gang… ”
“Wow, you bastard… This guy has his head turned right.”
‘You didn’t just sneak away from the gang, you stole a bomb?’
I thought he was a bit of a weak-hearted person because he was so scared of life that he gave up, but he seemed to be a guy who would lose his cowardice and betray anyone he could feel free to stab in the back.
‘Well, with that kind of personality, he probably betrayed his employer, Raymond, and tried to kidnap Olivia.’
“Why did the gang make something like that because they had no reason to use a bomb?”
Aren’t they the ones who solve everything with guns and pocket knives?
When I asked, straining my throat, Devin, whose uvula was pressed, coughed and answered.
“Kehehe… It’s a bomb made to eliminate members of a rival organization… It doesn’t have that much power, but if you install it near the driver’s seat before getting in the car, you can definitely send it… ”
“It was so bad.”
“Hehehe… It’s impossible to destroy the gym, but it’s enough to kill Olivia, who is playing around inside without knowing anything.”
“… … .”
When I didn’t say anything, Devin seemed to think that control had returned to him and spoke vigorously.
“This world is bigger than you think, baby!”
Even though I spent less than a month in the United States, I felt like I learned so much that I didn’t know before. The United States is not only large in land, but other things are also very large in scale.
I didn’t bother to respond to Devin’s words and tightened his throat again.
“Where did you plant the bomb? What is the trigger?”
Did he think there was no use in telling me, or was he afraid of being tortured for no reason? Devin obediently handed over the trigger device he had in his arms and told him where he had planted the bomb.
“If you touch my body any more, Olivia and the people gathered here will not die! If you let me live, I will tell you the code to disarm the bomb!”
“No way, are you going to make a mess like this and run away alone?”
“What… ?”
Devin gave me an incredulous look.
“Oh, you mean it doesn’t matter what happens to Olivia? If you try to disarm the bomb without the code, it will explode without you pressing the trigger!”
“That’s something I can take care of.”
As long as you knew where it was, the rest wasn’t a big problem.
I punched Devin in the chin and knocked him out. And I broke my arms and legs to leave him alone on the rooftop for a while. While he was unconscious, his limbs were broken and he was twitching, just like an insect.
I searched my chest to see if there were any hidden triggers or weapons, but I couldn’t find anything else.
“See you later.”
I left Devin unconscious on the rooftop and headed to the gym.
The gym was in full swing preparing for the party. Decorations were still being put up everywhere, and people who appeared to be from a catering company were carrying drinks and food.
‘Let’s see… ‘Here it is.’
Indeed, as he said, a hidden bag was found under the bleachers at the gym. It was an ordinary school bag, but after listening to Devin’s words, it looked very suspicious. When I slightly opened the zipper, I could see a bloody timer and number pad.
For an item used by gangs, it was of fairly decent quality. It was clear that they probably did not make it themselves, but obtained it through some illegal route.
‘I guess I can just get rid of it… ‘
I don’t think that’s possible, but in one case, it could explode the moment you lift the bag to move the bomb.
I don’t have any knowledge about bombs, I just saw a movie showing a bomb that explodes when it senses vibration or is shaken.
‘Safety first.’
I put the bomb in the bag and put it in my inventory. If you were to fuss about completely dismantling it, it was not expected that an explosion would occur. Fortunately, the bomb did not appear to be fixed somewhere and disappeared under the stands in an instant.
Even the trigger was ripped off of Devin, so it looked like I could use this bomb later.
I straightened my bent back. As I stood in the stands and looked down at the gym, I saw people smiling and preparing for the party.
If it weren’t for his superhuman abilities or martial arts skills, Devin’s maneuver would not have been noticed and a major accident would have occurred.
I walked away feeling a little proud.
‘I need to check all other places first.’
I decided to take a closer look inside the school in case there was a bomb hidden by Devin that he didn’t tell me about. It wouldn’t take long since I now know what a bomb on my stomach feels like.
