Oriental Development Company.

The name itself means a company pioneering the Orient.

There is no need to explain why a company with bold ambitions to pioneer the Orient put down roots in Joseon.

Naturally, it was a company created with the idea of ​​uprooting the colony, and the person who created it was Ito Hirobumi, who completed the Empire of Japan and spearheaded the colonization of Korea.

The Oriental Development Company was in charge of all of Joseon’s agriculture, industry, railroads, electricity, and other things that could make money.

It was a large company that was active in various fields, such as selling or leasing land to immigrants coming from Japan to Joseon.

The largest shareholder of this company is, of course, the Government-General of Korea.

“Call the person in charge.”

“Yes, yes… … ?”

“Call the person above you.”

“… … .”

The guide’s eyes trembled as he looked at the black muzzle.

“answer.”

“Chae, even if you say you’re the person in charge, I, I don’t know those people and I don’t know how to call them!”

“Really? Then I guess I’ll have to take a more difficult approach.”

This time he pointed his gun at the sky.

And one room.

-bang!

The main hall, which had been noisy with people walking around and talking, suddenly became quiet and people’s eyes turned to me.

“Where is President Ishizuka!”

After this, you will all understand without me having to explain anything.

Those who saw the gun, instead of rushing in bravely, ran away screaming for their useless lives.

Thanks to that, a few people got trampled by the crowd, but I don’t think that’s something I should be concerned about.

The tour guide, who had been fidgeting a moment ago, was now standing still with his mouth wide open, as if he had frozen completely.

I pointed my gun at the guide again.

“Ishizuka Eizo. Do you know who he is?”

“Well, if it’s the president, then… … .”

“Guide me.”

The guide’s two legs were trembling like a newborn gazelle on the African savannah, but he was faithful to his mission of guiding someone.

I ran into company employees here and there, but they all ran away screaming when they saw the gun.

“Here, here it is… … .”

Unlike the headquarters in Tokyo, the building in Gyeongseong was a small two-story building, so the conference room was located not far from the entrance.

“great job.”

I gave the signal for them to get out by waving my gun.

Then the guide ran the way he came without looking back and left.

And I also lost interest in the guide.

He put the pistol he was holding in his hand back into its holster, took out the Gyeongseong No. 1 that was hidden inside his coat, and immediately opened the conference room door.

“Ishizuka Eizo!”

“… … ?”

As I entered the conference room, everyone who seemed to be from the same company all looked back at me.

They were all looking at me like I was some kind of strange creature, and it didn’t take long for them to start going crazy when they saw the gun in my hand.

“Greetings from Commander Shinnosuke.”

I placed the buttstock between my armpits and pulled the trigger until the magazine was completely empty.

* * *

“Ha, I’m such a poisonous kid.”

“… … .”

At the same time, in the interrogation room of Seodaemun Prison, Miwa Wasaburo, a high-ranking detective from the Police Affairs Bureau of the Government-General of Korea, and his subordinates were interrogating Kim Chun-sik.

“Did I ask for too much? I was just asking where the ghost of Gyeongseong is now.”

“… … .”

“Yeah, that’s how you’re going to come out, huh? You vicious bastard.”

Miwa, the squad leader, picked up a red-hot iron skewer from the blazing brazier on one side of the interrogation room and slowly approached Chunsik.

Then, he brought the still hot iron skewer close to Chunshik’s face, making him feel the heat on his sensitive facial skin.

Chunsik felt the hot heat on his face, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

“Where is the Ghost of Gyeongseong?”

At the sight of Miwa holding a red-hot iron skewer and asking him questions, Chunsik almost cried out for help without realizing it.

But perhaps because he was so scared, his lips barely moved.

“… … .”

“This is how it should be.”

Miwa lowered her head to the ground and sighed.

“Whew… … .”

Then he stabbed Chunshik in the cheek with a skewer.

He didn’t thrust in haphazardly, but slowly, very slowly, so slowly that Chunshik could feel both the heat and the pain.

-Chiiik.

The sound of meat cooking on a well-heated grill could be heard, and pure white smoke rose.

“Ugh… … .”

“It’s not that difficult… … Why aren’t you telling me such a simple thing? Are you locked in your mouth?”

“Ugh… … .”

Miwa moved the iron skewer back and forth like a brush and poked Chunsik’s cheek.

Chun-sik’s eyes turned bloodshot red from the burning pain, and tears welled up in his reddened eyes.

“Are you in a lot of pain? It will hurt.”

Miwa looked at Chunshik with pity and removed the iron skewer from his face.

He got up from his seat and looked through the skewers on the brazier like he was choosing bungeoppang from a street food stall, then asked Chunsik.

“How is it? Do you feel like talking now?”

“… … .”

Chunshik’s mouth was still tightly shut.

“I like the consistency.”

Miwa, the class president, smiled awkwardly and held a red-hot iron skewer in her hand.

Then he thrust it straight into Chunshik’s face.

This time it wasn’t the cheek, it was the eye.

“Let me ask you. Where is the Ghost of Gyeongseong now?”

“… … .”

Chun-sik froze when he saw the red-hot iron skewer right in front of him.

“Since we have two eyes anyway, it doesn’t matter if one of them is missing in our daily lives. Right?”

“… … .”

“It’s not fun.”

Miwa smiled and picked up the skewer.

And then, just like a little while ago, he was about to slowly stab Chunshik in the eye.

-bang!

“Class president!”

The interrogation room door opened wide and someone came in.

Miwa, whose work was interrupted, frowned as if she was slightly annoyed and got up from her seat.

“What’s going on, Inspector Sasaki?”

“Hey, I heard that the Oriental Development Company was attacked by unidentified terrorists!”

“Is that so?”

“Yes! An unidentified terrorist burst into a conference room where executives were in the middle of a meeting and started shooting people indiscriminately while shouting Commander Shinnosuke’s name!”

“Oh, like that.”

“President Ishizuka of the Oriental Development Company was also shot and taken to the hospital, and it appears that many other executives at the scene were killed or injured.”

“Who is the culprit? What happened to the culprit?”

“That is… … . They say he shot and killed two police officers who rushed to the scene and then leisurely fled, evading the police pursuit… … .”

“Huh! I guess so.”

When Miwa heard that the most important company in the colonial administration of the Japanese Government-General of Korea had been attacked, she laughed quietly rather than being shocked.

“That’s right… … .”

Then he looked back at Chun-sik, who was kneeling on the floor naked without a single piece of interrogation room cloth.

“I was just starting to worry that I might have hit the jackpot. It looks like I hit the jackpot.”

“Huh? No, what are you talking about right now when the Oriental Development Company is under attack!”

“Well.”

Miwa’s face gradually became more lively.

He smiled with relief, as if he had finally realized something.

“Inspector Sasaki.”

“yes.”

“Could you go to the Chief of Police and suggest that the security of the Governor-General be doubled for the time being?”

“You’re doubling it? What about the other places?”

“Um… … . I’m saying this because if I were a ghost, I think my next target would be the Governor-General’s Office.”

“Yes? A ghost? So, are you saying that the recent terrorist attack at the Oriental Development Company was also carried out by the ghost of Gyeongseong?”

Miwa didn’t answer.

Instead, he gripped the iron skewer in his hand tighter and approached Chunshik.

Then, with the other hand that wasn’t holding the iron skewer, he grabbed Chunshik’s hair and lifted his head up, forcing him to meet his gaze.

“Hey, Jeon Woo-jin.”

“… … .”

“Rejoice, for the ghost of Gyeongseong has appeared.”

“… … .”

“Honestly, for so long you’ve been keeping your mouth shut and not saying anything, so I used to think, ‘Does this kid really not know anything?’ But seeing you throwing a tantrum like this… … I know for sure now.”

Miwa picked up the iron skewer.

The tip of the skewer was pointed at Chunshik’s eyes.

“I hit the jackpot.”

“… … .”

“Now let me change the question, the Ghost of Gyeongseong… … . Tell me everything you know about him.”

“… … I don’t know.”

“Really? Then remind me.”

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, he stabbed the skewer in.

At the same time that Chunsik’s screams resonated through the interrogation room, pure white smoke rose up.

“Ugh… … .”

Sasaki, who was watching this from the side, left the interrogation room feeling nauseous.

‘That crazy guy… … . Wow, that guy is really crazy.’

Sasaki was also a man who was proud to say that he had seen almost all kinds of dirty things while entangled with the Buddhist monks in Shanghai.

But even for him, Miwa’s interrogation was difficult to watch with his eyes open.

‘If I fall into that guy’s hands… … .’

Sasaki turned his head slightly and looked around the interrogation room where the screams were incessant.

Then he shook his head.

‘No, no… … Let’s stop thinking useless thoughts.’

For the past few days, the mad dog Miwa and the chief of the Government-General’s Office have been sticking close to him, so Sasaki, who has not been able to contact this teacher, began to feel uneasy.

But Sasaki tried hard to calm down and regain peace of mind.

‘If I try to do something because I’m anxious for no reason, I’m very likely to cause an accident. If that happens, that crazy guy, Miwa, will catch me again and do that to me.’

Sasaki took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart and headed somewhere.

“Are you here?”

“Yeah, nothing happened last night?”

“Yes, there was a bit of sniffling around dinnertime, but it was quiet after that.”

“Good job.”

The place Sasaki headed to was the prison where Kim Hu-dong, who had been taken in together with Kim Chun-sik, was being held.

Unlike Kim Chun-sik, Kim Hu-dong had less contact with ghosts, and since Sasaki, who was in charge of the interrogation, was also of a lower status, the interrogation was conducted in a slightly milder manner rather than the merciless interrogation with blood splattering and screams like Chun-sik’s.

“Call the doctor in advance and wait. After the squad leader’s interrogation is over, send the doctor into the interrogation room over there.”

“Uh… … Didn’t the class president say that no outsiders should be allowed in?”

“Looking at what the class president is doing now, it looks like he’s going to catch someone. If you don’t want to clean up a rag-like body later, call a doctor.”

“Ah, yeah… … .”

“And keep a close eye on the woman inside so she doesn’t do anything stupid.”

“Yes, sir.”

All Sasaki can do now is to prevent this situation from getting any worse.

‘Fuck. Fuck. Shit!’

There was nothing I could do but quietly say all kinds of harsh words to myself.

“after…….”

“Why are you sighing like that?”

“Ugh!”

Someone spoke from behind Inspector Sasaki, who was sighing at this stifling reality.

“Hey, Miwa and the class president?”

“Okay, let me fly.”

“Weren’t you under interrogation… … ?”

“The interrogation is over.”

Miwa looked calm, as if she had just gone for a walk.

“Ah… … I see. What did you find out?”

“Yeah, he finally opened his mouth.”

“Hey, you opened your mouth?!”

Sasaki was startled and asked Miwa.

“No, what did he say? What did he say about the ghost of Gyeongseong?”

“I would like to tell you something, but please understand that I cannot tell you anything due to the current situation at the police department.”

“ah…….”

Miwa smiled brightly.

“But don’t worry too much, you’ll hear good news soon.”

“Oh, yes… … .”

Sasaki’s body flinched.

Because the way Miwa looked at him was a bit different than before.
