Have a Meal Before You Go

Shadow Cat has moved on.

Again. Again. Again.

A creak echoes through the quiet corridor. She went to the interrogation room, three floors below the Association building.

It was just a short time ago that I received my payment.

You caught a gambling organisation? ’

No matter how naked the association got, it was difficult to defeat the enemies inside quickly.

The official foreign organization, Poriner, is annihilated, and urban security is generally very safe.

But even within that, a small crime was continuing to take place.

A single example is the gambling squad.

Gambling.

The dream of daily life existed at any time and stimulated human instinct. It was no exception in this age.

Queek!

Shadow Cat opens the door of the interrogation room and nods at the man in the armored semi-suit.

“Welcome, madam. ”

“Enough of that lady talk. ”

The gentleman pulls out the sunglasses that are tucked into the suit's upper pocket and opens his mouth.

“This is the gambling squad we captured today. You know what? It's called the Guinea pig. ”

Doin 'what?

She frowns slightly, then nods.

I remember. It was an illegal gambling organization operated by the so-called "Let's Turn Life Into Gambling" motto.

What was troubling them was that as an organization set up by Awakeners from the Awakening Society, they dug up the blind spots of the Society and only operated in blind spots.

By the way.

She tilts her head.

“Who caught it? ”

“Well……"

The gentleman scratches his glabella. He shrugged and replied.

“They showed up. ”

“Huh?"

“They just showed up…… In front of the association building. ”

“....... ”

“He'll turn himself in.”

She looks down at the two men sitting in the interrogation chair. His face was very puffed up with where he was hit, and he was trembling in horror.

“Hmm.......”

Then.

A man in an interrogation chair stood up screaming.

“Help me! I'll tell you everything! Just like they are! ”

She walks and sits across from him, her eyes narrowed. The gentleman lowers his head slightly.

“Then interrogate him. I have something to see, bye. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

The gentleman leaves, and she sighs briefly and opens her mouth.

“Yeah, blow it out. ”

One of the two men hesitates and opens his mouth.

“That…… started in the Western Gate pavilion. ”

“Barbarians?”

“Just when I thought I had caught a purple head helmet. ”

Twitch!

Her body's twitching! I did.

“System, go on. ”

.

Khan and Echo leave the dining room. There was a $100 bill in my pocket from Cheolho. $100! I've never touched this much money before.

However, Chulho asked me to write and show how he spent this money during the week.

It's that easy.

First, Echo was going to buy everything he wanted. I also want to buy some books that I used to read. Echo looks at the compartment with a smile on his mouth.

“Hey, dragon. ”

“Why.”

“This body goes this way. ”

Khan nods as if he knew.

“Then I'll go this way. ”

The two factions split apart, as if they had made a promise.

The journey to spend the allowance given by Chulho began.

* * *

Echo first admired the market. The world of humankind is always new. Echo snores and heads to the bookstore.

Echo recently fell in love with reading books. With the trivial humankind topics, it was a great level of proficiency in language.

The book to read this time was a mafia novel called "The Second Master." Echo, who had bought a novel with his mind, joyfully went out.

Echo remained on the market. I bought some skewers and ate some Sundaes. I paused at the children's clothing store.

Echo thought about it and bought a small dress. It was the right size for a tangerine.

I just bought a dress and a book, and I only have $70 left.

I'll spend my money soon. The emptiness is hovering. I want to buy a lot, but I don't have much money. The allowance was given once a week, so it was worth it.

Where.......

Is there someplace easy to make money?

“....... ”

There was a gaze on Echo like that.

To the owner of the gaze, Echo looks pretty clumsy and ignorant.

The gaze slowly approached Echo.

“Hey, buddy. ”

It was a little boy.

“What the hell.”

On Echo's behalf, the boy replied.

“Do you want to play some money? ”

“Money play?”

“Yeah, about the cupping. ”

Cup picking.

I know roughly what it is. Place three cups side by side, hiding one bead. Then, if you move the cup with a skill that is close to curiosity, and then position the bead, you win money.

“Triple the dividend. You lose two games, you win one, you're on your own. ”

Echo's ears are tingling.

“Lead them.”

* * *

Where the boy took Echo, there was a dark alleyway behind the market. The alleyway to the Crooked Seodaemun Gate was so backward that I thought there was a place like this.

There, I saw wicked bread stands and gamblers spreading out their seats.

“Here we go! One cupbearer! ”

The boy runs to the man shouting and unfolding his throne, then disappears for a penny.

Echo walks slowly and sits in front.

“Minimum 10, maximum 100. Do you want to bet?”

A gambler with a mustache asked Echo. Echo thought for a moment and looked at the rest of the money.

$70.

Echo risked $70 without hesitation.

“Yay! We will honor you! ”

A gambler puts a bead in the cup in the middle of the three cups and starts mixing the three cups.

It was indeed a confusing and distracting skill. But I could see it in Echo's eyes.

At some point.

The orb in the middle cup, snap it into another cup! and was moved.

“Here! Take your pick! ”

According to the gambler, Echo points to the cup that was moved without hesitation.

“Here.”

“Tsk!”

The gambler looks a little embarrassed, then smiles and grabs the cup.

“Congratulations! You're lucky! ”

Immediately, a $210 bill was given to Echo. Echo scratches his head, and this time he wagers $100.

“Huff!”

Again, Echo, who pointed out the exact cup, won $300.

“Huff.......”

I won $300 next time.

“Huff.......”

Once again, there was no room for $300 in Echo's hands. Echo suddenly had over $1000 in his hands.

“Oh, this is good. ”

With this kind of money, I think I can be relieved. When I was getting up with the money.

“Customer.”

One of the rice cakes approached Echo.

“Something.”

“Would you like to play a bigger game? ”

Echo narrows his eyes.

“Bigger game? ”

“Yes, there's a $100 maximum here, but there's $1,000 there. That's a lot of money.”

You have a cold smile on Echo's mouth.

“Let's go.”

* * *

It was a long way to go.

It was a basement that took a motorcycle down the basement stairs in the back alley of Shinchon.

Gun-ridden crooks keep their eyes peeled and watch everywhere. However, from Echo's point of view, only laughs.

There was a gambler in the other room going down the crooked basement.

“Greetings.”

Echo shakes his hand, shaking his head at the gambler's greeting.

“Let's start without gossip. This body doesn't have much time. ”

“....... Got it. ”

The gambler's eyes trembled. The arrogant kid must have been lucky enough to win a few bills.

The gambler glanced at the cake table.

- You're not the Awakening One, are you?

The bread rack nods and pulls out the portable scanner.

- No, the scanner can sense up to two classes.

Then I will show you my example, "said the gambler.

“The number of cuppickers on this side increases. ”

Unlike the three cups on the ground, this place has five cups.

“But five times the dividend. ”

Five times!

Echo smiled.

Echo placed a maximum bet of $1000 without hesitation.

Shh-shh-shh-shh!

The gambler started mixing the cups. Echo stares at the cups.

"Look at this? ’

Suddenly, between the chaotic cups, a bead moves. Not one, two.

You're using this ability. ’

This ability to make body parts was clear. It was a kind of deception that led to two beads being misled.

However, Echo clearly identified the real location and chose it.

“Here.”

“....... ”

Echo quickly won $5000.

“Here.”

“....... ”

Second round wins.

“Ugh.......”

The third round was Echo's triumph.

By the time Echo had won the ten games and won the $50000, the gambler's face had become parched.

The way to make a body out of beads and cheat was invincible during that time. However, it does not work with Awakened Persons, so it is a way to attract only ordinary people as guests.

But what is this?

It was all being revealed.

Echo stood up with about $51,000 in his shopping bag.

With this kind of money, I thought I'd stay long enough.

“Well, I'll leave you to it. ”

Echo tries to leave the basement, but the bread crumbs block in front of him.

“You're a player. ”

“Hmm?"

“How dare you show up at someone else's gambling parlor? You son of a bitch, you died today! ”

The loaf of bread snarls and draws its weapon. Echo blinks quietly.

“Are you talking to this body? ”

“Well, yes! When you say it nicely, give up your money and get lost! Or I'll kill you and your whole family! ”

The cake stand shouted.

“What?"

Echo frowns.

In Echo's head, members of his family quickly wandered around. Steel, tangerine, and columns are safe. But Kai is not. He may be Awakened, but for now, he's small and weak.

The moment I thought about it.

Puck!

The body of the bread stand was flying in the sky.

The bread crumbling onto the wall on the other side of the roof made up what I had eaten this morning.

“....... ”

The gambler swallowed the saliva.

Echo snaps his neck to the left and to the right, walking to the gambler as well.

“Come on, I'm sorry....... hold on! ”

The gambler also ate today. Echo picks up a bunch of cash behind the gambler.

Puck!

Cough!

Puck!

Cough!

Puck!

Cough!

Twelve crooked rooms in the basement for a while. Whoops! I hear something.

After a while.

Echo robs his hands. All the gangrene in the basement has been destroyed by Echo. In front of Echo, you see two executives trembling on their knees.

Should I kill him?

Killing was not a bad way. However, Chulho did not advocate murder at all.

Echo doesn't look so good, but he's got a point.

Peace was a pretty good thing. Maybe there are better ways to live than to die.

Echo opens his mouth, thinking of the bear.

“Do you want to die? ”

“Help me!”

“Please help me! ”

The two executives strangled their heads trembling.

“It's easier to kill…… but is there any other way? ”

The executive raises his head at the same time.

“I do!”

“You can turn yourself in! ”

Echo tilts his head.

“Embroidery?”

“Yes! We are an illegal gambling organization, so if you turn yourself in, you go straight to jail! ”

“Trust me! We work for the original association, so it should be accurate! ”

I begged the two executives to please turn themselves in.

“Hmmm....... Yeah, well. Go turn yourself in."

“Yes!”

“I'll turn myself in right away! ”

The two executives stood up and ran to Burinake. Echo fires a magical grenade from their left and right sides.

Woof! Woof!

The wall on both sides collapsed in an instant.

“Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!”

“Ahhhh!”

The two executives had to pee. Echo walks up to them.

“Let's take them with us. ”

The two officers run backwards, panicking, waking the fallen men.

By the way.

Echo looks down at the large handbag in his hand. All the cash collected in this basement room was close to one million dollars.

It was not a bad feeling to have a bag full of $1000 and $100 bills.

Where the hell am I supposed to spend this money?

Echo scratches his head and comes out of the basement.

.

“....... ”

Shadow Cat senses the tingling of her head. I nodded my head soon.

She left the interrogation room. If it was Bora's head, it was definitely the Demon King of the Bob's House.

Where the hell am I supposed to catch him?

First, she decided to search the marketplace.

I scoured here and there, but I couldn't see Echo.

Soon the sun will set.

She sighs deeply and sits on a wooden bench at the Seodaemun Market.

About that time.

On the other side, you see a little purple-headed boy walking along carrying a large suitcase of clothes.

“Ah!”

She quickly approaches Echo.

“You!”

“What's the matter, Elf? ”

Echo asked bluntly.

“You! Where's all the money you took from the gambling squad? ”

“There it is. ”

Echo picks his handbag. The clothes that Echo was carrying were worn by a five-year-old girl and by a ten-year-old boy.

“....... did you buy all this? ”

“Yes. What is it? ”

“Well……"

She scratches her head, slightly stumped.

“That, the money you took. Can I have it? ”

“Money? Elves tell you money, too? ”

“No, they came to turn themselves in today. We have to take their money. ”

“Really?"

Echo gives her a purse as if it were nothing.

“You got it?"

“Huh? Uh...... Yes. ”

“Even with a lot of money, it's a problem. ”

Why do echoes have so many different kinds of clothes? Walk over to the other side of the street, jerk off to the children's store! I'm in.

Echo, who bought another beautiful outfit, disappeared for a moment.

It looked like it was using space travel.

“....... ”

She stands dumbfounded, looking at her purse. There was a million dollars worth of money in there.

“Oh, my God. ”

Ends
