＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 53

Recordak(5)

Shoot… … .

Lekordak, where arrow-like rain and wind blows. I think my hearing has also decreased a bit because the typhoon that threatens to turn the ground around keeps hitting my ears.

In that dizzying scenery, Elise asked the man in front of her.

“you. Who are you?”

He just smiled quietly.

Quad deud deuk——!

Meanwhile, the iron gate of the quarantine area behind him bounced off and landed on the playground. We both looked around in shock. Beyond the empty space, Draven appeared again.

On his right side was what appeared to be a solitary confinement inmate, and on his left side was a senior from Magic High School.

Draven placed the two on the ground and pointed at us.

“hey. “I caught two people, but what are those two people again?”

Then Elise drew magical power into her body.

“… … I ask again. “What are you people doing?”

He doesn’t look scared. Anyone can see that they are ready to fight back.

She is not a great person who would choose suicide, and I think her antennae are underdeveloped because she has never faced a truly strong person yet.

“Stay still.”

I grabbed Elise’s wrist. widely-! At that moment, I was roughly shaken off. Elise scowled, glaring as if she would stab him with his sword.

“Don’t touch me with dirty hands.”

The sincere message of life spread poisonously.

“Before I really kill you.”

“… … “You’re scarier than them.”

“hey. “What are you going to do?”

Draven asked the man. The man still looked at us without saying anything. To be exact, ‘Elise’.

Finally, he opened his mouth.

“Elise Petra. “I know who you are.”

A simple question asked in a soft, boyish voice.

“Do you know who I am?”

A very casual tone, as if you were talking to a friend next door.

But what he said, this whole situation.

It sparked something in my head.

[Recordak 13 escapee Noah Lucile has been missing for over a year… … ]

[Mirienae’s evil spirit, where is he… … ]

[Breaking News: Recordak I, which was undergoing special activities for the College Board, was attacked… … ]

[One senior kidnapped, one inmate in solitary confinement died… … ]

[The whereabouts of the kidnapped senior are unknown… … .]

[The leader is believed to be Noah Lucile… … The deceased student is the son of the prosecutor in charge… … ]

“Tsk!”

Fragmented memories.

One day, memories that I had once read, seen, or experienced, but had been buried in the other side of my unconscious, sprouted again like a knife and dug into my memory.

“Oh my head… … ”

I pressed my temples.

Anyway, did his question make my “notepad” appear?

“I know?”

He asked again.

“… … “I should have asked first who it was.”

Elise’s reaction is refreshing. The man pouted his lips.

“Of course.”

But it’s a little strange.

There was no name named Elise in any of the articles or case files that I remembered. Elise said she would not have been caught up in this incident in the first place.

Is it really because of me?

Because of the three minutes or so I held her?

“It means you don’t know me. “Well, it’s worth it-”

“I know.”

I raised my hand instead of Elise.

“-sun. “It was a long time ago.”

The guy didn’t even make a glance.

Until I open my mouth.

“Noah Lucille.”

For a moment, the guy’s eyes twisted. My head snapped up. He finally looked at me.

I added with a slight smile.

“Right? “I’m a bit interested in crime and underworld things.”

“… … Noah Lucille?”

Elise also asked. Then he looks very surprised, which is actually a natural reaction.

“77 civilians killed and imprisoned in Lecordak XIII. He was sentenced to death, but that was exactly when the chairman was re-elected, right? The chairman suspended the death penalty, and you rotted in prison for 18 years. and-”

“It’s gone. “Because it wasn’t my fault.”

Noah interrupted me.

“To be exact, 18 years, 312 days, 5 hours, 33 minutes, and 17 seconds. “The time I was trapped.”

“okay? however… … .”

I looked closely at his face.

The eyes, nose, and mouth are as pure as if they were painted with a brush, and there is not a single wrinkle or blemish visible on the skin.

“You look so young. He doesn’t look like he’s in his mid-forties. “Is it a ‘spectrum’?”

The face value of a man who would have been imprisoned at age 24 remained the same.

No, honestly, it was younger than that. I would still believe you even if you were the same age as me.

He lifted the corner of his mouth.

“that’s interesting. “You know my age.”

“You can’t know. 13 You are the only one who escaped from Rekordak. “It’s already a legend.”

13 Lecordak. A monster who escaped alone from the volcanic island, which is actually a prison but actually a hell.

The incarceration occurred 19 years ago, but the escape occurred only a year ago. He was featured in a big story at the time, so he must know Elise too.

“okay?”

He put his hand over his mouth and huffed. I pointed to the senior lying on the ground.

It’s not Endex, it’s a senior at a prestigious horse high school called ‘Devon’.

“I got it right, so let’s let him go too.”

Noah shook his head.

“You can’t do that. “This guy didn’t get the answer right.”

“So, are you going to kill me?”

He answered right away.

“huh.”

I asked him back.

“Then will anything change?”

“well. “What do you think I want from killing people?”

He answered with a question instead.

I saw a student lying on the floor.

In the memories of “Notepad,” a victim of Noah Lucille.

When this incident first occurred, everyone thought it was just bad luck, but when the inside story was revealed, the world was shocked.

“Valentin Otto. His father is a prosecutor, right? “You were indicted and the investigation was conducted.”

“… … .”

At that moment, Noah’s pupils opened wide. Endless black eyes. It was a look that made me feel like I was being sucked in.

I struggled to maintain my composure.

“I’m a bit curious. My memory is also pretty good. “You maintained your innocence throughout the trial, right?”

The memory of “Notepad” can bring back everything related to this moment.

However, there is no need to rely on the memory of Noah Lucille.

“huh. I know a lot. “I know it well.”

He is a big man who escaped from the harshest prison and founded a group called [Geumungaek].

A vengeful spirit who wants to find and kill all those who ruined his life and wasted his time.

“Just killing a few kids won’t change anything.”

I fully agree with his sentiments, but the subject is wrong.

“no. there is.”

He took out a piece of iron from his chest. Elise quickly stretched out her hand. Her blue magic radiated out and sparkled upon contact.

It was a revolver.

“It makes me feel a little better.”

“sleep-”

bang–!

Before I could say anything, gunshots rose up.

Blue flame exploded.

The skull exploded.

Bone fragments flew out like splinters.

Blood, brain fluid, and rainwater flowed together.

Grrrr… … The flowing stream reached our feet.

“… … ah.”

Elise froze with her mouth half-open. I let out a soft sigh. Noah leisurely wiped his muzzle with a handkerchief.

“It’s okay to think that you saved one person’s life. Peel off the skin, every hair, fingernails, toenails, fingers, toes, wrists, ankles, eyeballs, everything… … “Because I tried to kill them by cutting them off one by one.”

I raised my eyes and saw him. He asked as if talking to himself

“this… … “The child is innocent, isn’t he?”

Then the answer mixed with laughter came back.

“So did I. “I wasn’t guilty either.”

“… … .”

“You don’t know, but I already gave you a chance.”

Noah raised his index finger.

“first. He went to the prosecutor, that is, his father, and asked my name. He couldn’t answer. “Your face is still the same as it was back then.”

Then I heard the middle finger.

“second. I made an excuse. They said there was nothing they could do at that time. He asked me to forgive him because he has a wife and children. “What couldn’t be helped?”

Lastly, I lifted my ring finger.

“third. The apology was the last thing. “He has committed a mortal sin.”

Then he folded all his fingers.

“If you have committed a mortal sin, you should die. I didn’t want to just kill him. “He has another 18 years, 312 days, 5 hours, 33 minutes, and 17 seconds to live.”

He tapped the body with his foot.

“Holding this memory.”

I was speechless.

Well, if you think about future guests, persuasion may be impossible in the first place.

This is just the beginning, but in just a few years they will grow into a collection of objects that even the ‘Master Cartel’ of the underworld fears.

“But what do you think? Do you really think I killed 77 people? Does it look like ‘Mirienae’s Demon’?”

The guy asked. My face was captured in wide open pupils. It was probably some type of magical eye.

“… … no.”

I answered sincerely. I shook my head as if sighing.

“You were innocent.”

Noah’s claims were all true. The police fabricated and submitted evidence, the prosecutor knowingly did not overturn the case, and the judge ignored the testimony of a crucial witness.

Having traveled back in time, I know it all.

but.

“Not anymore.”

Future innocence is meaningless in the face of present crime.

As if his innocence couldn’t make up for the time already lost.

“… … .”

Noah Lucile was speechless.

He probably knew what I meant.

“… … “Umm.”

Soon he bit his lip slightly. He closed his eyes for a moment. He turned around, sighing inaudibly.

“let’s go.”

“Hey, can I go like this? “I don’t have to kill them?”

In response to Draven’s question, Noah twisted his head and looked to the side.

“You got it right. “I won’t kill you.”

“aha.”

Then Draven also scratched the top of his head as if he knew.

“The rest is up to you. Take care of it. It’s a guy called ‘Belen Dex’… … “He’s a common murderer.”

For some reason, Noah turned around, leaving behind ominous words.

Whoosh——!

Just one leap. The two left like that, but the silence lasted only for a moment.

There was only one person left behind by those guys.

“… … “What is that again?”

A solitary confinement inmate dragged out of the quarantine area by Draven.

We looked at him.

“Big… … .”

Creak- Creak- Creak– The thing stood up, all his joints creaking. The blood vessels had already turned dark, and his eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot.

It was like a zombie.
