Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 244



243 – Backboard_6

Sang-ik Han, who found the clue, immediately called the police in charge of the investigation and the local hero office.

I wanted to run there right away without even asking for help.

Because he wasn’t so stupid as to not realize that he couldn’t handle those who entered the Academy grounds and kidnapped the cadets without anyone noticing.

‘You think you know where the missing person is? Okay, okay. I’ll look into it later.’

‘Isn’t there any other evidence besides that kind of psychological evidence? Yes? Back bulletin board? Oh… Yes. Well, I guess so. But what can we do? In that case, I have no choice but to transfer this case to the cyber investigation unit, so it seems like it will take some time.’

‘That’s why there needs to be solid evidence. We understand that it’s heartbreaking to see a friend go missing, but the investigative staff can’t move based on simple testimony alone.’

‘Thank you for your cooperation. I will look into it. The person who reported is in danger, so please go back.’

‘This is the ㅇㅇ hero office. The hero is currently out of the office…’

But there was no help.

No matter how many times I screamed that something might happen tonight.

Even if you express your resentment and anger and even threaten to report them for their negligence.

When I reported her missing, the police were indifferent, as if they were not even trying to do anything about it.

The local hero was nowhere to be seen, with only absent messages appearing.

“Fuck!!!”

As Han Sang-ik left the police station, curses filled with anger and despair poured out.

If you need evidence, why don’t you just collect it?

No, if you won’t help me, I’ll solve it on my own.

So, Han Sang-ik had no choice but to move to the location listed in the post without any help from anyone.

And… in the blurry vision, a mechanical sound struck my ears.

“Didn’t you know? We’re all in this together. Otherwise, how would we run this business? We’re all either customers or sellers.”

Only then did Han Sang-ik understand.

If you think about it, it was simple.

Even if you double or triple-check security, how could the police or heroes not find one such site?

From the moment I reported it even though I had a clue that was close to confirmation, they tried to ignore it.

No, I should have guessed from the time I first reported her missing and when I refused to take her on.

How did the police…

How can a hero…

Is that possible?

Han Sang-ik collapsed and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily and lifting his head with difficulty.

A masked figure wearing black robes was looking down at him.

“why…?”

“Why? Because it’s all about money. That’s what it is. Think about how low police salaries are. And what about heroes? Unless you’re a top hero, it’s hard to make a living from day to day. So you can do a side job, right?”

“My… way…”

A side job?

Selling drugs and poison, killing people and kidnapping them is considered a side job?

Are you saying that those who believe without a doubt that it is on the side of justice are condoning it and doing it?

‘That won’t do.’

Han Sang-ik felt wronged.

I cried because it was so unfair, and my blood flowed back.

But because of the previous skirmish, I couldn’t move a single hand other than nodding my head.

The black robe glanced at Han Sang-ik once and then spoke in a mocking tone.

“Do you feel wronged? But what can I do? If you’re weak, you’ll get hurt. But don’t worry, I won’t kill you now. If you’re a Laplace Academy cadet, you’re a high-priced commodity. Among the rich old people, there are some who delusionally believe that if they transplant young blood or trained mana ability organs, they’ll live a long and healthy life.”

Then, he grabbed Han Sang-ik, who was leaning against the wall, by the nape of his neck and dragged him away.

“Let go…”

“You’re really splashing like a live fish. It’s annoying, so stay still or I’ll break your neck.”

Han Sang-ik tried to rebel by raising his mana and moving his body.

Before long, he was subdued and dragged along with his legs dragging on the floor.

And how far would it have been dragged on?

Han Sang-ik arrived in front of a huge black door.

And the robed beings guarding the huge black door blocked Han Sang-ik and the black robes.

“Stop. What is that?”

“Could this be an intruder?”

“If he’s an intruder, then he’s an intruder. What else would make him not an intruder?”

“I subdued him because he suddenly rushed at me. But when I looked into it, it was similar to what it was 10 days ago.”

“10 days ago? If it was 10 days ago…”

Those guarding the door looked at Han Sang-ik.

And while I was looking through it, I let out a small exclamation.

“Again?”

“Why don’t I have that kind of luck?”

“Unlike you guys, I live honestly and get rewarded.”

“Damn… If you’re honest, there will only be honest people in the world.”

“Or would this kind of luck come to you?”

Black Robe shrugged.

Han Sang-ik could not understand such words and actions.

If it was 10 years ago…

“Anyway, please keep this inside.”

“10%”

“I’m 15%”

“Those crazy kids.”

“Or you could break it to the boss. You haven’t forgotten what happened 10 days ago, have you? And if you ask me to keep it inside, that means you’re going to put it up for auction… Got it?”

“Fuck… eat the liver of the flea.”

Black Robe nodded as if he had no choice.

Then, as if the matter had been settled, those guarding the door accepted Han Sang-ik, and soon the black door opened and Han Sang-ik was thrown into it.

“ah.”

and.

There was.

Even though we were far apart.

that…

**

This case was extremely unfair.

If those below really made a mistake and kidnapped them, it would have been my fault for not being able to supervise them.

After looking into it, I found out that the truth behind this disappearance was not my fault, but something that Yukina Ishihara did on her own.

In short, it was a false accusation.

‘It’s a false accusation…’

I’ve only ever had it on, but it felt different when I actually had it on.

It’s not like I wanted to experience it multiple times.

No matter how unique or small the task was, it inevitably took time to get it done.

But what can we do?

I signed a contract with Yukina Ishihara.

From now on, such petty accusations and interferences were bound to pour in.

In that case, even if it is bothersome and irritating, it would be good for your mental health to let it go.

If you worry about it for nothing, you’ll just be wasting time.

However, since I couldn’t just let it go, it was important to figure out why it happened.

And the reason is…

‘I guess the purpose is to interfere with point acquisition.’

It was obvious to a three-year-old that Yukina was obsessed with me.

And most obsessions end in possession.

Yukina is versatile, but in terms of absolute strength, she is not as strong as me.

If she had been strong, I would have already been possessed without her interfering with me in such small ways, given her principles of behavior.

I had some idea of ​​that from the time I first signed the contract.

Who is the one with the upper hand who came here to put a leash on someone for their own benefit?

But the reason I signed the contract was because I knew that if she made up her mind and started shaking things up, the plan would fall through.

Because if she runs away with one key, it’s over.

The utility value was the next issue.

Anyway, it is common sense that in order to own something, the owner must be stronger than the owner in most cases.

However, if there was a place where I could gain points while staying still and strengthen myself, it would have been difficult for Yukina.

So, isn’t this what they did to ruin the place?

‘I’m not 100 percent sure, though.’

There may be something I’m missing.

Because the opponent is a regressor.

There was a good chance that he knew information that I didn’t, and that he was using it to achieve some other purpose.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out.

I can only make predictions based on the information given, I don’t know the future like Yukina.

If that’s the case, then just do what you have to do.

And I don’t know.

In fact, there are things like it being nothing, or it being a prank to shake me up, or something like that.

Well, I guess that’s not the case, considering he interfered when I tried to deal with Han Sang-ik.

It was also ambiguous to see how they led us into an obvious trap.

“Childhood friend.”

Is that something worth risking your life to save?

If that’s the case, then it couldn’t have been anything but a persistent relationship.

I put down a pile of papers containing information about a missing person and someone who was looking for the missing person.

I think it will be a good thing.

There was no reason to hesitate when a scapegoat came walking towards me to clear my name.

“Childhood friend?”

Is this why I, who was sitting on the sofa quietly reading documents, blurted out words that I didn’t understand?

Yeon Eun-ryeong, who was leaning next to me, made a puzzled expression.

“It’s nothing.”

“okay?”

But when I avoided mentioning it, Yeon Eun-ryeong quickly hid her curious expression.

Because she was fully aware of the line I had drawn.

“Are you ready for more?”

“Yeah, I’m fully prepared.”

That’s fortunate.

Tonight will be quite intense as we unite with the extras to fight the main character.

“Then, I’ll take good care of you.”

“Okay, I’ll take care of all of Seonghyeon’s enemies.”

As I gently stroked Yeon Eun-ryeong’s head, her eyes lit up with a sinister light.

It was the time when the urethra, which had been covered in blood in the dark for a year, began to show itself.
