Hell (1)

[ Beep, hey, hey, hey—– ]

A sharp noise piercing your ears.

“… … .”

Frowning my brows and pulling my headphones down, I held my breath and looked at the horrific scene on the monitor.

Pterodon was definitely subjugated.

It wasn’t possible to identify it properly because all the dust had not gone away, but the fact that the giant pterosaur monster had stopped breathing was quite certain.

Because Jinseowon’s first and final blow was powerful enough to be close to S-Rank.

‘… what did i see… ?’

I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes even though I watched everything carefully from the command post.

It was okay for Bang Han-na to snatch Pterodon with the help of Kim Na-rae.

Thanks to the smoother and skillful execution of the operation than I had practiced for a long time, I wanted to give him praise.

the problem is… .

There was a subsequent attack by Jinseowon.

At first glance, her attack had tremendous magical energy.

Even looking through the monitor, the ominousness is so eerie, what more can I say?

‘Is it a heavenly horse?’

The first thing I thought of was that Jin Seo-won had awakened to a heavenly demon in the original work.

It’s strange that she, who seemed to be okay up until now, suddenly awakened into a heavenly demon, but in fact, she is a mysterious woman, so it doesn’t make any sense at all.

But.

[ Seowon-ah! ]

I quickly put aside the speculation that she might have awakened into a heavenly demon.

[ … yes ]

[Seo, Seowon-ah! How did you do that!? ]

[ … I don’t know ]

Because the voices of Jin Seo-won, including the members, were clearly heard through the headphones that were taken off.

It was a pretty decent reaction for being awakened by a heavenly demon.

‘Is it temporary?’

A simple guess is that she may have been able to handle the Heavenly Demon Goddess properly, even in a short period of time.

In the first place, the Heavenly Demon Goddess itself is the power that chose evil for a stronger power, so she may have grown inside without knowing it and was able to handle it properly.

‘… Ability is proportional to emotion… .’

So let’s think about Jinseowon for a while.

[ Pterodon subjugation complete! I’ll be right back! ]

A return signal came back from the members inside the gate.

One way or another, the final subjugation was also successfully accomplished.

“… Good job. Everyone check the status… . Come back carefully.”

[ All right! ]

After putting my worries about Jinseowon aside, I confirmed their return and started preparing to meet them.

*

Team Seoul City Hall’s last gate subjugation of the season ended very successfully.

“thank you for your effort!”

“Everyone worked hard!”

“… thank you for your effort.”

The members, who must have been quite tired from the environment different from other gates, quickly recovered and participated in the afterlife, as if they were like that.

“Everyone did a great job! For today, let’s play and drink comfortably!”

Do Ji-hyeok, who had been working with his teammates until he was tight, put off work to tomorrow’s Do Ji-hyeok and jumped into the after-dinner party.

“Gyuri sister. Get a drink!”

“Ah, thank you. It’s me.”

“Hey, Jin Seo-won. You’ve been drinking too much… !”

“… not really?”

“Good job.”

“You worked hard too.”

Team Seoul City Hall’s after-party was held at the rooftop bar of a luxury hotel in Seoul.

Thanks to Hyeri Lee, who could not attend due to internal guild retreats, and rented the whole thing, I was having a very comfortable time.

“hey. Ji-hyuk. Is our team record better than you think?”

“Is that a good level?”

“No. It’s a crazy record.”

Kim Jun-hyung and Do Ji-hyeok put their heads together and looked through the records they had made this season.

A total of 12 gate subjugation.

Average gate level B rank.

The points earned were around 130,000.

It’s not a great result just looking at the record, but considering the fact that it’s a new team consisting of two D-Class and one F-Class and the short period of activity, it’s a very impressive result.

At the current pace, if he had played a full season, he would have eaten at least three copies.

‘We’ll take good care of our children.’

Do Ji-hyuk shed a happy smile at the very good record.

The date changes at midnight today, and on August 1st, the season officially ends.

And for three weeks, there is a period of subjugation break for gate maintenance… .

Usually during this period, the so-called ‘transfer market’ opens,

A fierce battle begins between people who want to prevent power leaks in earnest and people who want to mine for better power.

“Hasn’t there been any other offers from our side yet?”

“Not yet.”

In fact, the transfer market begins to actively progress towards the end of the season.

Since each individual’s individual skills have already been proven throughout the season, the guild must have already figured out who needs the resources.

Usually, they contact the recruiting target faster than other teams and try to work behind the scenes, or they offer sweet suggestions and induce them to hit the back of the team directly… .

Lee Hye-ri’s contact with Do Ji-hyuk in advance can be said to have continued in that sense.

“Producer! Mr. Junhyung! Let’s play darts!”

Then, Gyuri Han appears with a glass of wine and asks for a dart out of nowhere.

“Suddenly?”

“Come on… ! The kids are waiting… ! Come on, Junhyung-san, let’s go too!”

Do Ji-hyuk, who was having a very leisurely time, made eye contact with Kim Jun-hyung, and slowly got up.

“Do you have a bet?”

“Of course it is! The losing team drinks a vodka shot!”

“It’s good. I’ll be leaving soon, so go and tell them they’re all dead today.”

“Hey… ! I see! Then come right away!”

With a more relaxed expression than ever before, he grabbed a cocktail glass he was drinking and headed to the members with Junhyung Kim.

That night.

At the time, Do Ji-hyuk and the team Seoul City Hall people were enjoying the after-party.

Seol Joo-hee’s house.

“Oh sorry… . Am I a little late?”

Hong Yu-ra and Seol Joo-hee were quietly glaring at Lim A-rin, who was seated on the opposite side of the world with natural faces.

“… … .”

Seol Joo-hee felt very annoyed by Lim A-rin’s behavior, who arrived after the appointment time.

Obviously we were supposed to see it at 10, but coming after 11 means we are going to have a fight.

If it was normal, I would have thought I didn’t know anything about it, but… .

Now that I knew all about her true nature, I felt even more disgusted by her intentions being revealed.

“But, for some reason… ?”

Arin Lim looked at the two of them alternately with a very worried expression.

“With such a serious expression… .“

That moment.

“Im Arin.”

Hong Yu-ra, who was staring at her with cold eyes, opened her mouth.

“Stop acting now.”

“… Yes… ? Acting… . what is that… .”

Lim Arin reacts that she can’t understand with a bewildered look.

In the end, Seol Joo-hee, unable to see her like that, slammed the sofa and poured out abusive language.

“You f*cking bastard. Still don’t understand the situation?”

“… … .”

Arin Lim made a hard expression as if she was offended by the sudden abusive language,

Hong Yu-ra, recognizing that even that was acting, put the paper envelope she had prepared in advance on the table and pushed it toward Lim Ah-rin, calming her boiling anger.

“look.”

“… what’s this… ?”

As if she didn’t understand the English language, she looked at her eyes and carefully picked up the envelope.

Hong Yu-ra silently watched her abominable behavior and uttered a single word indifferently.

“What you have done so far.”

OK.

tremble-

Arin Lim, who had never been agitated until now, showed her body twitching and agitating slightly.

“… … .”

Seol Joo-hee, who involuntarily raised the corners of her lips at A-rin Lim’s quietly rolling her eyes, growled, confident of victory, as if she had caught a current criminal.

“Now do you see what the situation is?”

“… Um, I don’t know what you’re talking about… . What I did… ?”

At that moment, Arin Lim pretended to be okay, but with strangely trembling hands, pulled out the data from the envelope.

And then… .

“!”

When he found the document on the topmost page, he showed a surprising reaction again.

[ Creation of virtual media using welcome magic ]

It was about the ‘video’ that sent Do Ji-hyuk to hell.

“Hey, what is this… .”

“Im Arin.”

Hong Yu-ra, who was watching the scene, said coldly, thinking that they had shown their hand to some extent.

“It’s all over now. Everything you’ve done so far has been revealed, and I have all the solid evidence in my hands. So, stop giving up.”

“Ze, the evidence… ! Yura, what the hell am I talking about… !”

“A detestable year. Act in moderation. Before I rip that annoying face off.”

“Seol Joo-hee! What are you saying… ! I have nothing… !”

Lim Arin desperately protested and tried to express her injustice, but to the two people who already knew the reality, it just seemed like a trivial struggle.

“Speak to Do Ji-hyuk with your mouth.”

“Ji, Jihyuk… ? What did you tell Jihyuk? .”

“You said you killed Director Park Jeong-seok.”

“!”

Hong Yu-ra laid out the deeds Lim A-rin has done so far one by one.

“You’re flirting with the Cheonhwa group, so you’re harassing Do Ji-hyuk.”

what evil you have done

“I made that damn video and forcibly kicked out Do Ji-hyuk.”

And how cruel he was.

“I was trying to take over. Say it with your own mouth.”

He recites it over and over again with his cold anger.

“… uh, what do you mean… .”

Of course, Lim Arin denied it as if she did not understand anything.

But she couldn’t hide the slight trembling of her body,

Seol Joo-hee, angered by her flirting even after all the crimes were revealed, gave a warning by sharpening her teeth.

“If you don’t do it in four years, we’ll do it. If you don’t want to see more shit like that, do it in moderation and get out.”

The two wanted Lim Arin to step back.

I thought I wanted to tear her into shreds and give it to the monsters as food, but I couldn’t afford to do that.

However… .

“… I, I don’t know… ! What the hell is this… !”

Arin Lim denied her actions until the very end.

“you… .”

“This f*cking bitch is really… !”

In the end, Seol Joo-hee, unable to hold back her anger, got up from her seat, and gave a warning with a cold breath.

“Im Arin. I know that the four-year-old deliberately broke Do Ji-hyuk’s little leg.”

“… what, what… ?”

“… What?”

A-rin Lim, who is bewildered, and Yu-ra Hong, slightly startled by the first story they hear.

Seol Joo-hee said, recalling the image she had seen one day, Lim Ah-rin, who deliberately threw a powerful magic while looking at Do Ji-hyuk’s legs.

“A disgusting year. How could you do such a thing and carry your face so shamelessly? Aren’t you sorry for ruining someone else’s life?”

“… Oh no! It was an accident… !”

“Didn’t you like Do Ji-hyuk’s taste after doing that? huh? was it good Was it good, you motherf*cker!!!!”

“Seol Joo-hee! calm down!”

“Let it go! Rip that f*cking bitch’s mouth open… !”

“Seol Joo-hee!”

Hong Yu-ra managed to catch the runaway Seol Joo-hee and warned Im A-rin, who was trembling with contemplation.

“Im Arin. Again, close the relationship by tomorrow. And disappear before our eyes. Otherwise, the world will expose every single thing you did to the world.”

Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra were convinced that their plan had worked.

Arin Lim sitting still without saying anything was proof of that.

“… I always thought of you as a real friend. That’s why I’m giving you one last chance to disappear gracefully. … Please don’t let me down any further. Choose well.”

Hong Yu-ra, who valued loyalty, gave her a last chance, considering the time she had spent with her.

But.

“… … .”

Arin Lim was bowing her head as if she could not get out of the shock,

Thinking that Hong Yu-ra had taken her best revenge, she tried to get Lim A-rin out of the house.

“… now stop… .”

But then.

Suck-

Arin Lim suddenly raised one wrist and looked down.

“… … ?”

On her wrist was a thin wristwatch that Do Ji-hyuk presented to her.

“… … .”

Lim Arin, who was staring at the clock for a moment, suddenly got up and looked straight at the two of them and said,

“Are you done now?”

Her face with a lovely smile as if it was ever.

“!”

Hong Yu-ra and Seol Joo-hee felt a creepy sensation as if they had seen a ghost for a moment.

“Today was fun.”

Arin Lim casually grabbed her bag and looked at her watch once more.

“I thought that I purposely broke Jihyuk’s leg and played a bad trick… . In a way I never really thought of… !”

“… Im Arin. you… .”

Hong Yu-ra and Seol Joo-hee, feeling that something was wrong with Lim A-rin’s strange reaction, tried to catch her.

That moment.

beep-bi-big- beep-bi-big-

The dry mechanical sound echoes through the house.

“Oh, it’s twelve o’clock.”

Arin Lim still had a lovely expression on her face and turned off the notification and glanced at Yura Hong and Joohee Seol.

“Then I’ll just go. then… . Take care of yourself?”

The two of them stood up and let her go.

no… .

I couldn’t help but watch her go.

“… uh, uh… .”

“… Ugh… !”

Seol Joo-hee wraps her hair as if she has a sudden seizure, and Hong Yu-ra grabs her hair.

The two of them collapsed in the living room, shivering together in a cold sweat, as if they were in fear, and started screaming sharply.

“… Ji, Jihyuk Ah… !!!!”

“… Oh, no… . no… .”

August 1st, midnight.

Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra’s allusion was released.
