Episode 297 Infiltration (3)

“… … .”

Kang-hoo stopped.

The guard walked briskly through the area detected by the infrared camera without paying any attention.

– Hey, what’s the problem?

“Of course not, Inma! It’s just a malfunction. Don’t worry about it!”

– I see. Got it.

I spoke to another guard who was watching the area. There was also a guard monitoring it.

Anyway, this is not the only route leading to the center of the concentration camp.

Since there were plenty of alternatives, Kang-hoo had no intention of insisting on taking the risky path.

However, seeing the incinerator clearly in my sight, even though it was far away, made me feel a mixture of emotions.

A place where dead prisoners were carelessly pushed in. The dead prisoners came out as a handful of ashes.

The causes of death varied.

Starvation, disease, assault, torture, experiments of unknown origin, etc… … It was all things that made my teeth chatter whenever I thought about them.

‘There is no reason to forgive the guys in Eclipse in any way you think about it.’

From the moment they join Eclipse, Hunters realize that they can also work in the Qingming camp.

That is, they know in advance that they will be in the position of the perpetrator in this place where human rights are being violated.

However, entering an eclipse also means taking responsibility for that karma in the future.

If we dig into the details, each guard might have their own ‘reasons’ for doing so.

But Kang-hoo didn’t want to include all of those things because he wasn’t a god.

Eclipses are evil. Condemning them can be seen as a perfect good, at least in relative terms.

‘… … .’

Is it because I’m looking at the incinerator?

Forgotten memories keep coming back to me.

Among them, I remember removing useful organs from the prisoners’ bodies and selling them before incineration.

I remember quite often, something like an ambulance would come in from outside, probably to take away organs.

Wheeeeee.

A pungent smell could be felt along the wind blowing from the direction of Sogak-dong.

Even at this very moment, the bodies of inmates whose identities we cannot identify are being burned. They are disappearing.

Kook.

Hands clenched tightly.

Rather than being distressed by the trauma that came back to him, Kang-hoo felt anger, his natural emotion, rising.

The work of being true to the emotions that the thousand-year-old man had spoken of was now underway.

‘If Jo Hwan-seong dies anyway, the rest will be leftovers. They’ve become weaker than the existing camp’s power, so now is the best time.’

Kang-hoo quickly disappeared into the dark bushes outside the infrared camera’s detection range.

Beyond the incinerator are the detention center and the guard room, and behind them is the office where the camp director resides.

We already know the blind spots of the CCTV inside the camp. The important thing is to make sure that the hiding is not broken.

Ssssssssut.

Kang-hoo began to move quietly and secretly to the sound of the wind.

The target is the camp commander, Jo Hwan-seong.

The rest didn’t interest me.

* * *

That moment.

“After all, alcohol… … tastes best when served by a pretty girl. Is it strange that I like guys?”

The camp director, Jo Hwan-seong, was drinking the liquor the prisoners gave him, trying to soothe the boredom of the languid night.

It just so happened that there was a pretty boy among the inmates.

For Jo Hwan-seong, who, unlike most men, was interested in men’s sexual activities, it was the perfect drinking party.

There have already been quite a few male inmates who have been defiled by Jo Hwan-seong in this way.

So, when the director calls, both the person who is going and the colleagues watching all give up.

Today’s victim was a student who was not yet an adult.

I had just awakened and become a hunter, and I thought that at least I could help support my poor family.

He was kidnapped by members of the Eclipse organization and taken to the Qingming concentration camp.

I begged him to please send me back to my single mother, saying I would work my whole life to pay the ransom, but…

Of course it didn’t work.

Gulp-.

Cho Hwan-seong, who had downed a bottle of soju straight in one gulp, looked at the whole of South Korea with bloodshot eyes.

His gaze was directed to Cheongju.

“Fuck. I should be going to Cheongju Liberation District and smelling some blood. And here I am, smelling some guy’s son, tsk.”

Jo Hwan-seong was convinced that the process by which he came to be the head of Cheongmyeong Detention Center was not a promotion but a demotion.

Doesn’t Lim Jeong-wan, who is ranked 6th right above him, accompany Kang Dong-hyun every day?

Being by the captain’s side has great symbolism in itself, like being a successor.

But since he ‘flew’ all the way to the Cheongmyeong concentration camp, he couldn’t help but think that he had fallen out of favor with Kang Dong-hyun.

Even when the camp’s forces were mobilized for the battle of Cheongju Liberation District this time, Jo Hwan-seong was not called.

“Xmi, f*ck!”

At that time, Jo Hwan-seong was spitting out curses and expressing his dissatisfaction with Kang Dong-hyun.

Suddenly, a guard came rushing into the warden’s office with an alarm going “Aaaaaahhhhh.”

When he heard the alarm sound while he was feeling really bad, Jo Hwan-seong’s face became distorted like a crumpled can.

“What’s going on?”

“Sir, it looks like the fire has spread from the incinerator. It looks like sparks have flown out.”

“Then I should turn off the lights. What are you doing here?”

“I think I should at least report it to you… … .”

“X-shin-ah! You’re saying there’s a fire in Sogak-dong! It’s not Gansu-dong or Suyong-dong, so what does that have to do with me?”

“ah…….”

“Go turn off the lights, kid! You’re making a fuss over nothing. Get out!”

“Yes, yes!”

Knowing full well that if he got the wrong one, he would be in trouble, the guard quickly disappeared.

Cho Hwan-seong, who was already upset, also shouted at the inmate who was pouring drinks next to him.

“You get out too!”

“……yes.”

The inmate immediately left the seat.

It’s been ten years since I endured it.

Because he didn’t have to do anything worse than pouring drinks to make him feel bad.

Squeak. Kuung.

The iron door that had been wide open slammed shut as the guards and inmates left one after another.

Jo Hwan-seong, who was about to drink the liquor again, stood up from his seat as if something occurred to him.

And then he opened the iron door wide again, went outside, and looked toward the incinerator.

The guards were busy putting out the fire.

The fire itself was not large, but it had spread to many places, making it difficult to put out.

“Well, if it’s the incinerator, there’s no way the inmates escaped. I can just ask the person in charge of the incinerator to take responsibility for the situation and report to the captain that I’ve taken care of it.”

Jo Hwan-seong, who had already planned the aftermath in his head, smiled and turned around.

For a moment, I remembered a man who had tried to set fire to Gansu-dong and escape, and succeeded.

It’s Shin Kang-hoo.

After the guy caught everyone’s attention with his fire, he boldly escaped through the front door.

This incident is treated as a dark history of the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.

But today, there was only a complaint from the incinerator, and no one was heading to the main gate or any other direction.

“Fucking concentration camp. What if I just go to the Cheongju Liberation Zone and fight? I’m dying of frustration.”

Soon, Jo Hwan-seong opened the iron door again and came inside. He was thinking of having a drink or two.

however.

“… … ?”

Cho Hwan-seong instinctively flew forward, startled by the murderous intent he felt behind his back.

But the problem was that I hesitated for a split second.

Phew! Phew!

I had two distinct feelings of cold metal digging into my side.

Blood spurted to the side. He had been attacked.

“Cough!”

Jo Hwan-seong lost his balance due to the wind and was thrown forward before falling to the side.

At the same time, I looked back and saw that an intruder had entered the room where I had been alone until just a moment ago.

‘Shin Gang-hu?’

There is no way that he, as a senior officer, would not know the face of Shin Kang-hoo, the Eclipse’s top priority target.

Jo Hwan-seong was surprised to find that Kang-hoo was in the warden’s office, which was supposed to be the deepest part of the camp, not even outside.

I doubted my eyes.

I was wondering if this makes sense.

But I had no intention of denying the situation unfolding before my eyes.

I don’t know the process, but the result is clearly right before my eyes. The person in front of me was Kang-hoo, who had no room for hesitation.

“Hoo!”

Even while feeling pain in his side, Jo Hwan-seong injected a great deal of magical power into his right foot.

Then, the entire bridge turned orange. Jo Hwan-seong roughly cut through the space and aimed for Kang-hu.

【Wall of Innocence】

Kang-hoo immediately used the Wall of Innocents to block Jo Hwan-seong’s foot attack.

Cheeeeeeek!

Although he didn’t allow a valid hit, he was pushed back just by blocking the kick.

‘It’s like body strengthening.’

Jo Hwan-seong is not a hunter who uses his footwork like ‘Lee’, who we faced in the dungeon before.

He enjoys using a double-edged axe and is a physical person. This attack could also be seen as an aspect of physical strengthening.

Jo Hwan-seong moved to grab the double-edged axe that was placed next to the storage room.

The responses that can be made with the body are ultimately limited, and the battle of skills is a battle of primary weapons.

【Lightning ratio】

【Hwa-ryong-chang】

Kang-hoo aimed for Jo Hwan-seong’s arm with two spare daggers, each using a different skill.

Jo Hwan-seong, who was only focused on holding the axe, suddenly stretched out both his arms.

Caddeuk.

Kang-hoo took out one Mad Solarium and chewed it. Now there were seven left.

Phew! Phew!

“Ugh!”

Jo Hwan-seong groaned as daggers were stabbed into the backs of both his hands.

In particular, the dagger was so firmly embedded in the back of his left hand that he was in no position to pull it out.

Not only was the dagger stuck in the back of his hand, but it was also stuck through the wooden cabinet, along with his hand.

So the method chosen by Jo Hwan-seong was very simple, but it was also an ignorant and painful method.

WHACK!

“Kwaaah!”

Since the dagger happened to be stuck in the hollow area between the index and middle fingers, I just lowered my hand.

Then, the flesh was torn apart and blood spurted upward. In exchange for the pain, he gained freedom of his left hand.

Only then was Jo Hwan-seong able to pull out the dagger that was stuck in his right hand and burning brightly.

Although it was only for a moment, the back of my hand that had been exposed to the flames was already badly burned.

“빌어먹을 새끼.”

Boom! Boom!

Jo Hwan-seong threw down his dagger nervously. He wasn’t interested in it since it was a weapon he couldn’t handle anyway.

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo had finished setting up the poisonous blood.

Although the activation rate of the poison effect is not high, it is true that it is helpful once it is activated.

‘Let’s leave the rotation of the lower attack and the restraint as hidden cards. If I use both of them wrong, I’ll go to the underworld.’

My body was itching to use both skills, but I decided not to be greedy.

at that time.

Jo Hwan-seong, who had finally grasped the double-edged axe properly, took a stance and aimed the axe at Kang-hu.

He made a gesture as if he was trying to grab it. This is a typical feature of the kidnapping skill casting.

【Quick Evasion】

Kang-hoo left immediately.

At the same time as the rapid evasion deployment, the barrier of resistance effect was also activated, and thanks to this, it was resisted without a problem.

Perhaps the anti-demon stats that have been steadily raised over time have also played a significant role.

【Clone Magic】

【Welcome Drink】

In the front, there is a clone, and on the sides, there are illusions created using illusionism.

The purpose was to distract the viewer’s attention and break their concentration.

Then Jo Hwan-seong burst into laughter and said to Kang-hu.

“Shin Gang-hu, do you think I’ll be able to use such a trivial trick?”

It seemed like there was some corner of him that he believed in.
