Shadow of Seoul (3)

Hans achieved satisfactory results and harvested the undead.

The number of undead increased by the number of demons permeated into the abyss cast on the floor.

‘Come to think of it, I need to research subspace magic that can be used for common dimensions.’

Since the subspace we are using now uses the sound dimension behind that dimension, it was impossible to share the contents.

The reality is that in order to transcend the dimension, you have no choice but to lift it yourself or use a rare subspace magic tool with a small capacity.

‘It’s convenient to have brainwashing magic, so you should study it. Even in “Forbidden Knowledge” there is a method of brainwashing… Because this is not a way to write.’

The black magic that destroys the subject’s self-consciousness and turns them into a puppet was not particularly difficult.

It’s more efficient to make them undead than to do that, so I just don’t use them.

However, the process of making a subordinate by adjusting only the perception while leaving the ego was very complicated.

It takes a lot of time and effort to deal with the fragile mind delicately, as well as a lot of different materials in the process.

‘Something that can only be found in Auterica can be obtained somehow. The problem is other things.’

“Forbidden Knowledge” was not named “Forbidden” for nothing.

Because the materials required for the process were all terrible.

It’s not like I can’t use a baby’s blood or a part of a fetus’s body just to be a little more comfortable.

‘I’d rather do a new research based on that knowledge. I have a lot to do, but I don’t have time. In order to save time, it is efficient to go to Auterica, but in order to do that, you must first find a way to avoid the pursuit of the Church. It hurts my head.’

I then headed to the warehouse where the survivors were kept.

The vitality of more than a dozen people was sensed through the thick iron gate guarded by the undead.

It looked like they were trembling together in the corner, perhaps because they heard the commotion outside.

I looked around for a moment before breaking the door and opening it.

‘Am I better off than them? I have something to check.’

Wouldn’t it be better for Hans to cover his whole body, even if it was a little scary, rather than moving corpses with a vicious appearance?

I pressed down on the hood to cover my eyes and suppressed the fear effect as much as possible.

Kwajik—

When I broke the door and entered, I saw people grouped together in the corner, panicking.

It’s impossible to waste time in front of frightened people.

He immediately took out the smartphone he had stolen from the demons, called the police, and threw it at the survivors.

“Uh… huh?”

The smartphone, which was controlled by magical powers, glided smoothly through the air and fell into the hands of a bewildered survivor.

-Yes, it is the police station. what···

Soon the policeman’s voice rang out from his hand.

Embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment, looked over at this side, and carefully talked to the police.

I watched until there, leaving them behind and sneaking out of the seat.

‘There seems to be no such thing as a spy. You’ll be fine now.’

Isn’t it a long-standing tradition of criminals to mix gangs among hostages?

Hans was sensitive to negative emotions such as fear and despair.

As a result of meeting them face-to-face and confirming the change in their emotions, no one was particularly suspicious.

Since this place itself is a secret place, and the guards are all demons, it must have been that he didn’t pay that much attention to the general public.

‘Is this one more achievement of the mine hunter Hahoetal?’

At first, I was going to work as secretly as possible, but at some point I changed my mind.

There was no way to track him anyway, so it was cumbersome to control the witnesses one by one.

Also, there was a thought that if the story about him spread, it would be of some help in curbing the crime rate.

To be honest, it was fun to see the story of Hahoe Mask on the internet.

So he only hid his identity and helped spread the rumors by eyewitnesses.

As a result, information about Hans wearing the Aleum Aleum Hahoe Mask was spreading through the Internet community.

‘By the way, what are these people doing? There’s not a single place where I didn’t spank a leg. However, there is no real reality.’

Information obtained by reading the memories of the demons.

The gnomes subjugated this time were in a cooperative relationship with the Bundchenhoe, but they were indirectly supported in such a way that it was difficult to track them down.

The information I got from the organization I robbed was similar to what it is now…

‘Still, if you continue to sweep away criminal gangs like now, one day you will catch a tail.’

If the reason for the recent chaos is because of them, you will soon encounter them somehow.

Hans saw the police siren approaching and left.

At the site of the fierce battle, as always, only a picture of a hahoe mask painted in blood remained.

***

A private room in a fine dining restaurant that thoroughly guarantees the privacy of users.

The two were sitting next to each other, sharing a drink.

“Recently, a madman wearing a hahoe mask is said to be playing around as a hero.”

A man with a vague impression with no personality poured alcohol into the glass of the person sitting in front of him and said.

“They say they use black magic.”

A middle-aged man with glasses took a drink and answered indifferently.

Conversation continues, giving each other drinks.

“I haven’t seen anyone sane for a black magic user.”

“Still, I think that guy is pretty crazy. At least they don’t harm civilians and they seem to have their own beliefs.”

“Ha, it’s the belief of a black magic user. That’s scary. A fanatic would be more extreme than a terrorist.”

The black magic that altered Mother Nature’s energy was subversive and fast-growing, and had a fatal effect on the opponents.

However, as it is a polluted energy, the more it is used, the more it adversely affects the mind of the user.

When we are weak, we start with obsession and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and as we get stronger, our moral ideas gradually fade and become a demon.

“His territory is getting bigger and bigger. I’ll have to do something, but you still haven’t got a clue?”

The district of Hahoe Mask, which first started southwest of the Han River in Seoul, now encompasses several districts.

In addition, his behavior was unpredictable, such as occasionally jumping out of an unexpected place.

“…It’s not easy to catch him. They use space movement as if they are eating, and they say that it is difficult to detect a presence until they use force.”

“Hey, it’s space movement. And then there’s the hiding power. You seem to be bigger than I thought. Have you recently returned to Earth?”

The man with a hazy impression handed over the drink in one go and looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him.

At that inorganic gaze, the middle-aged man fixed his glasses and avoided his gaze.

“Anyway, it doesn’t really get in the way for him to go wild and get involved in this matter every now and then.”

“Let me pay more attention.”

“Yes, thank you. This one will also use its own hands.”

The man, who smiled bitterly, put his glass down on the table and stood up from his seat.

“Then, I’m busy with work, so let’s just get up. I’ll do the math for you, so come out slowly.”

He waved his hands once and left with silent footsteps.

“Whoa….”

After the uncomfortable sitting together, the middle-aged man who was left alone sighed with a more relaxed mind.

And he made his own by tilting his drinking glass over and over again.

Because it’s an expensive shop, the taste of alcohol was damn good.

how long has it been

tiri riring—

When the sudden ringing of the bell broke the silence, he frowned and confirmed the caller.

The name of the subordinate displayed on the screen. What is going on this late in the morning?

As he reluctantly answered the call, an urgent voice came from his smartphone.

– Manager! Sorry for being late! A report came in from outside Seoul, but it is quite large.

The subordinate quickly explained the circumstances.

A large-scale human meat factory discovered by survivors, and a Hahoe mask.

After hanging up the phone, he sighed again and stood up.

It wasn’t the time to drink or drink anymore.

***

3 o’clock in the morning.

Heinz, who came out of the gold bar trade, was walking down the street at night.

Hans, who had attacked the factory, had just finished the battle and was cleaning up.

I was going to wait until the job was done, hoping to make contact with Hans here far from home and check the lottery paper for any other odds.

‘Also, if they attach a tail or something, I’m thinking of robbing it in reverse.’

I’ve been sneaking around, but so far, there’s been no news.

When we broke up, I thought there was a possibility because the masked man seemed suspicious of him.

Were the warnings good, or were they too cautious?

‘Well, there’s nothing bad about dealing with people who know how to keep good in moderation. Once we made a deal, that’s it. If you don’t know the subject and show signs of doing something stupid, you can sort it out.’

Because this place was also in Hans’s watch area.

For the time being, I should have been more careful and managed.

For that reason, I was wandering the streets at night, but because it was time, there were significantly fewer people than before I went to trade.

Anyway, since it’s a downtown area, that’s probably enough.

It was as if Hans had wandered through this place once, and it felt as if the humans in the shadows were also taking care of themselves.

The atmosphere is to move on without creating a big problem.

It made my heart proud to think that I had made this peace myself.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s a peace created by violence or whatever. Tooth for teeth, violence for violence. One effect is certain.’

On one side, two drunken drunkards were arguing with each other, but that’s not always the case.

It was a minor issue that did not require intervention.

‘Oh, hook! uppercut! Isn’t your opponent too strong? It’s hard.’

They did not feel any pain because of drunkenness, and they only repeated attacks recklessly, adding to the sense of excitement.

They were both drunk, but with staggering fists, more things went wrong than hit.

It was interesting to watch the fight of drunken people.

“Hey there, let’s talk with me over there for a second.”

A voice speaking from behind Heinz.

In an instant, the tension surged, and the nerves went high.

His senses became so sensitive that he could hear the heartbeats of drunkards fighting in front of him.

However, there was still no sign of the person speaking.

He slowly turned his head and looked back.

He was standing facing this way from less than a meter away.

When our eyes met like that, he shook his head toward the alley and walked ahead.

‘I still don’t feel a sign. What do we do?’

I hesitated for a moment because I was bewildered by the sudden situation, but the answer was already decided in the first place.

‘Since when did I buy myself? If it doesn’t work, it’s okay to bounce. Running away is my main specialty.’

I immediately followed him into the alleyway.

He was seated first, leaning his back against the wall and waiting with his arms crossed.

“Well, I still have an eye.”

I would say that he followed without running away.

I looked at him without answering.

I don’t know who he is, but he must have called me because I had a business.

“Don’t be so restrictive. I have no intention of harming you.”

With a grin, he turned his back from the wall and came over to me.

He approached my nose, ignoring me, who frowned, and sniffed his nose again and again.

What does interest want to do?

“Um, I don’t know either. It’s the first time I smell it.”

The man fell back and looked into my eyes.

“So, where are you from?”

“What do you mean? All of a sudden, you smell it, where are you from?”

I asked with displeasure.

I know he’s not a normal person, but he didn’t understand the situation yet, but it seemed like he was being swayed at will.

“what? Has he just returned to Earth?”

He muttered to himself and nodded.

And he spit out a single word as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“You are a vampire. Right?”

A strange smile appeared on his face.

“Actually, so am I. It may be different from yours, though.”

It was the moment when Heinz encountered a vampire from another dimension.
