Episode 185:
I’m not saying that his head was a flower garden, but Munsan-gun had a tendency to trust people too much.
It was a shortcoming that I fully felt, but at the same time, it was a habit that I could not change. It’s not that I have eyes that only see the other person’s strengths, but in the end, as a human being, everything in life cannot be perfect. I couldn’t blame it because it was natural.
He was an optimistic person who believed that everyone had room for improvement.
“Oh, it’s such a hassle.”
“Huh huh huh.”
“Why are you running away?”
For anyone, really.
“Kuhhh…”
I couldn’t breathe as the hand was strangling my throat.
In fact, I wasn’t really applying enough force to suffocate my breathing. That’s because Song In-myeong didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving bruises on my neck. So, the reason he had such difficulty breathing and was so dizzy was because Munsan was weak and stupid. It was because I couldn’t do anything properly.
“Please save me… please save me.”
“You know it won’t work.”
Yes, I know. After coming this far, Song In-myeong had no choice but to kill Munsan-gun. Still, I couldn’t stop begging for my life.
“I want to live…”
It was because I knew that if I died like this, the person named In-ho Jeong would be ruined.
Prince Munsan was a person who could hardly get angry. He was an idiot who was too busy running away in fear when someone attacked him maliciously without any basis, and even more so if he had no malicious intent, he was impatient to give that person anything as a gift. Munsan-gun could not even be angry at Song In-myeong, who was holding his breath.
So what about Jeong In-ho, who did not kill himself?
“Help me.”
Munsan-gun felt sorry for Jeong In-ho.
“Please save me…”
He was scared of Jeong In-ho, but at the same time sympathized with him. His face, as smooth and neat as porcelain, made him feel a strange fear, but that was all.
In the end, Inho Jeong was afraid of me dying.
“I’d rather say I’m not dead to you…”
“…What?”
“Just because a monster came… and there was nothing we could do.”
“….”
“If you tell me like that….”
In the end, tears leaked out.
“Can’t you just say that?”
Munsan-gun was not a very great saint, but that was why he was scared of dying and hated everything that made him sick, but because he was so weak and stupid, he was reminded of the time after his death.
Sometimes, there were people who thought that Munsan-gun was so oblivious that he would not notice even if they pointed a finger at him openly. That wasn’t entirely wrong. He was a person who did not hesitate to lend a helping hand if the other person wanted it, even if he saw the bottom of an individual’s personality. It was an arrogant thought, but I didn’t believe that that person could become a better person by being considerate, but I thought I could at least give them a chance.
So even though Munsan-gun vaguely knew what Jeong In-ho wanted.
“…what?”
“…Just saying…”
“What are you saying?”
Even if Song In-myeong brought me here knowing that there would come a situation where he would push me like this.
“Please, please.”
At the end, Jeong In-ho looked at Munsan-gun with regretful eyes, which gave me time to escape, so I became weak again. Even if it was all planned, Munsan-gun was not angry.
“…Are you doing this because of Jeong In-ho? “That guy with glasses?”
“Huh huh… ugh.”
“Are you crazy?”
I couldn’t refute even the soft swear words.
‘But I feel unfair too.’
What are you telling me to do when it is impossible to just blame someone?
It wasn’t that I didn’t hate it. I’m not sure, but it certainly seemed like Jeong In-ho knew that things would turn out this way, but I couldn’t tell if he really wanted to kill Munsan-gun or if he just didn’t care what happened. Munsan-gun will not be able to complain in the former case, and even more so in the latter case.
If all this was his illusion, if Jeong In-ho had dragged him out purely because he wanted to talk, Munsan-gun would not have been able to maintain even the slightest hatred he has now…. “….” “Ugh…
Ugh
. ….”
“…So….”
For some reason, the voice suddenly lowered passed Munsan-gun’s ears.
“I’m doing this because I’m worried about Jeong In-ho.”
“…Bff….”
“I’m afraid you’ll be sad when you find out later that I killed you, Munsan-gun. “I’m right.”
“….”
“You are asking me if what I said is right, mister.”
Startle.
My body froze in horror.
“huh? Is that right? “You crazy bastard.”
This was because Song In-myeong was smiling so scary.
“…! Wow…!”
“Wow, it’s really spinning.”
Kwaduk!
Munsan shrugged his shoulders as a hand grabbed his neck and pinned him to the ground. I couldn’t come to my senses because of the fear that death was just around the corner, but I was pushed to the floor and my head was buzzing as if I hit a stone, and one area was burning hot. It hurt so much.
I was scared and in pain, so I cried.
“Huh huh….”
“Ah, don’t cry, damn it. “I’m thinking about how to kill him right now, so don’t fuss.”
“Turn it off… Ugh.”
In the meantime, I foolishly thought of other people.
How will Jeong In-ho react to the news that I died? Can we just ignore it with a smile like we have seen so far? I don’t think that’s possible. It must be very difficult. Then, the rest of Jeong In-ho’s group will also have a hard time. I hated him, but regardless of my feelings, I just wanted him to live a normal life.
How much will Minhong cry when he hears the news that I died? You shouldn’t cry. My head hurts so much when my child cries… Maybe Choi Jeong-man, who is worried about his son, will block the news. There was another girl there, but isn’t it too early for such young children to encounter someone’s death?
I just hoped that there were many good adults in it.
“How can I take care of this so I can take it to the studio? Oh shit. Fuck. What a waste. It would be a shame to leave it here, but where should I start…”
Of course, the best thing would be for me to survive here.
It can’t be like that.
“Where …”
“….”
“… What is that dog.”
That can’t be…
“Huh?”
Kwasik—!
With a loud sound, Song In-myeong, who was crushing me, fell sideways.
“…? Uh uh…”
“What the fuck…!” “Get the fuck out of here!”
“Hyung.”
Even though he was hiccuping, Munsan quickly pulled his body back.
‘What is it…?’
Even though I covered my mouth with one hand, the sound of hiccups escaped. I retreated while sitting down, and only when I realized that Song In-myeong had been grabbed by the monster and was not looking at me did I stagger out of my seat, and at that moment, I felt Moon San-gun’s hand grabbing the back of my neck.
“Ugh…!”
The hand pulled Munsangun backwards.
“here.”
“….”
“Wait.”
Now the owner of the hand in front of me looked at Munsan-gun.
Pale voice. Holding a pipe in one hand, his pupils are noticeably dilated for some reason…
“…Mr. Lee Jae-heon?”
It was Lee Jae-heon.
* * *
Lee Jae-heon, who wanted the young protagonist to go in the right direction, considered Jung In-ho’s deterioration situation to be important, so he put as much effort and sincerity as he could into this plan.
Therefore, as Jeong In-ho intended, he did not approach Munsan-gun for a while. He only hinted that he felt vaguely strange about him not being able to approach me, and in the meantime, he also appealed that his physical condition was getting worse. There was a problem with probability, but I wanted the main character to be shocked by his ‘wrong choice’ later on.
The last element prepared was the abandoned dog monster.
“Oh, you’re doing so well. Oh, you’re so good.”
Kiing.
“Oh my, it’s pretty.”
Lee Jae-heon smiled happily at the sight of the boy barking once at the word ‘pretty’ and then panting and laughing. I found it admirable that they kept their voices low each time, as if they knew that these meetings were being held in secret. I wish my chicks were as obedient as you are.
Anyway, there was only one reason why I spent this time with my sick body.
“Then you understood what Dad said, right? “If I send a signal, who should I find first?”
Hehehe.
“That’s right, smart. The child is pretty. “Whose dog is so smart?”
This guy had to attack Song In-myeong.
Whether it was to indicate someone who was not here, or if there really was someone far away in that direction, the Pompitz abandoned monster turned its head and cast its gaze to one side of the park before looking at Lee Jae-heon again. When asked for a reward, he happily patted his head.
“Where should I go after biting that bastard once?”
Kyung!
Pompitz stood on all fours with great vigor and turned his head in the direction of a large lake. Jaeheon Lee admired Pompitz’s cleverness in clearly understanding his intentions, and held its protruding snout with both hands and gently stroked it.
“Oh my, it’s pretty.”
Now that this wrinkled face looks really cute, it seems like Lee Jae-heon’s mind has also gone out of control. But I couldn’t deny that this was an efficient choice.
Who else would bring out the green algae monster if not this guy?
* * *
In his own way, Munsan-gun, who was part of the group, had also heard stories about Lee Jae-heon’s condition.
They say he developed a mental disorder after being dragged away by a green algae monster. Ha Seong-yoon said that he feels the urge to kill people, and that it is a miracle that he can endure it. This is especially true for people like Lee Jae-heon who are in poor physical condition.
However, even though I heard that story, it did not make much of an impact on Munsan-gun. Of course, when I first saw him, I was shocked because I thought there was a corpse walking around, but after that, I was even more scared of Jung In-ho. Even if I told him he was turning into a monster, it was natural for him to tilt his head.
“…Uh….”
Until I saw something like that.
“Wow Mr…! “I’m really going crazy!”
“….”
“Uncle, can you hear me? Wow, have you really gone back?”
The sight of Song In-myeong hunting did not really look human.
As if his feet had wings, he lightly changed the direction of his spurs on the dry dirt floor and swung the pipe with one hand, threatening to do so, but his eyes remained fixed on Song In-myeong. Every time he tried to grab Song In-myeong with his bare hands instead of a weapon, the other person avoided him with a scared look on his face.
The hand that was holding the air made a strong sound and returned to its original position.
“….”
It was not a sound a human could make.
“Mr. Munsan!”
“…Ah uh uh.”
“Are you okay?”
He nodded with a bewildered expression when he saw Hong Gyeong-jun calling Munsan-gun with an urgent look on his face. This whole situation was so sudden and overly idealistic that it didn’t feel realistic. I felt like I was floating in the air.
I belatedly opened my mouth and answered.
“Yes, yes… it’s okay. are you okay.”
“My head is bleeding. “I think you’re very surprised, but first of all…”
“No, I’m really fine…!”
Munsan-gun grabbed Hong Gyeong-jun’s arm and shouted.
“Please do something about those people!”
It seemed like someone was going to die.
Hearing Munsan-gun’s words, Hong Gyeong-jun looked at Song In-myeong and Lee Jae-heon with an expressionless face. When Munsan-gun trembled, feeling a strangely cold anger coming from his hard face, Hong Gyeong-jun turned his gaze and stared at Munsan-gun.
“Are you Song In-myeong?”
It was a rambling question, but there was no difficulty in understanding it.
“Swing. That person… stabbed Mr. Jeong In-ho….”
“I’m going crazy. There is no one who gives correct information, and we are in a situation where we have to struggle to resolve things only after something happens….” “
….”
“Please go to Jeong In-ho.”
Hong Gyeong-jun handed over the piece of wood he was holding to Munsan-gun and took out something pitch black from his waist, which was covered by his coat. It was only when he heard a small noise, like something made from hard plastic or metal, that Munsan realized what he was holding.
Taser gun.
“…uh?”
When I looked at Hong Gyeong-jun at the unexpected object, he answered.
“It doesn’t work on monsters. I tried it once and ended up wasting the batteries.”
“….”
“But it works on people.”
Hong Gyeong-jun’s face, which muttered like that and skillfully held the Taser gun, was incomparably colder than before.
It didn’t look normal.
“…over there….”
“Currently, the injured In-ho Jeong is with Dr. Seong-yoon Ha. “Go back to your original group, not the team I was with. If you meet at least one member of our group on your way, I would ask you to tell them what I said.”
“yes yes…?”
“Get ready to fight.”
He took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“The green algae monster is approaching the survivors.”
“….”
Only then did Munsan-gun realize that the abandoned monster dog that had attacked Song In-myeong was no longer visible.
Where did they run away to?
