I'm still alive

'So how many are there?’

The group leader's words were absolutely cold. He smiled whenever he saw me, but his face was filled with sadness and anger, and he could not hide his misery. When asked by the group leader, the silver-rimmed glasses standing next to him took out the documents and began reporting.

'We've identified 15 people so far.’

A considerable number of people in the room were shocked and Kim Hye-jung was shaking her body because she couldn't shake her hands. At that moment, the room was shrouded in silence as if everyone had lost what to say. But a middle-aged man who was listening to the story across from me broke the silence and shouted loudly.

'Are you the search team?’

Then the people began to roar. The babble and glances were apparently directed at Kim Hye-jung, who was unable to respond and act with a dark face. It was strangely unpleasant for her to show that she was always so proud of herself. Do you think they're in the same search team and feel the same way?

Asked by a middle-aged man, the silver-rimmed spectacles replied by handing over the report.

There are six members of the expedition, including the two arrested. And the rest of them have been spread across different professions, and now they're getting interrogations and confessions directed by the head of the organization.’

The vagrant's erosion was a series of shocks and fears. Eden was only aware of the vagrants as a potential enemy. However, the idea was just an illusion from a closed desk head, and when I opened the lid, the huge castle called Eden was slowly under attack.

Fortunately, the tramps were caught before something happened, and of course, there were sacrifices by the search teams and deaths that had yet to be identified.

Still, having secured the identities of the vagabonds and spies in that short period of time was telling us that Eden's system was still working.

Obviously it wasn't the worst. Although the incident caused deep wounds and small distrust, the strong body of Eden was still intact. Squeeze the pus and disinfect the wound. The head of the organization strongly expressed his opinion and reiterated that this should never happen again.

And we could hear the whole story of the incident from the black-clad people who had finished the interrogation.

From now on, the contents of the diary were brief information of the case.

* * * * *

The total is 15 people, but so far, only three people have obtained confessions.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or a pleasant blow, but among the people who confessed were the young men and women we brought. The man with a bloodshot face quickly confessed before Eden even induced questioning, and the woman watching it shivering admitted to the crime.

Later, he wrote that the young man and woman had their families held hostage by vagrants. But that was not a reason to forgive them, he said.

Now that the confession was obtained, the case went on without a hitch and the whole story could be found out soon afterwards.

What the vagrants ordered them to do was quite brutal. They used what they were the search team to figure out the route of the other search teams and then offered it to the vagrants. The search team, which was followed, was forced to be attacked in this large city without knowing the English language, and was forced to be recorded as dead during the mission unless there were any witnesses.

And the other was a trap aimed at the search team, and the way they lured the team went on in different ways. However, the first was the bait for survivors and the second was the bait for rescue requests.

Both of them were brilliantly aimed at the weak points of the search team. The search team, which saw each other as allies or targets to rescue, naturally relaxed and let their guard down. And that carelessness is what brought about the annihilation of the search team and an increasingly vicious cycle.

Precise and despicable, they did not radio to the command headquarters to leave their tails behind. And she used only her personal channel thoroughly, of course, there was no record of radio content that did not go through the center, and Kim Hye-jung, who was in command headquarters, did not notice their identity.

So time passed and the victims followed one after another. Meanwhile, a bait fell in front of us, who were members of the search team, and we snapped at it.

But that day, we don't know if we were lucky or if they made a mistake, but the radio for rescue was headed to the command headquarters, not us. Kim Hye-jung, who received the radio, asked us for help and we were able to notice something strange because of the radio.

If the other search teams hadn't turned off the radio, or if they hadn't done Doo-sik's favor, we could have been beaten in the same way without finding the rotten pus. The story gave me a little creepy.

And the common denominator of all 15 people was external inflow. Perhaps Eden's biggest weakness is that the vagrants stabbed the Achilles' tendon well. I don't know if all 15 of them are vagrants or collaborators, but another confession was shocking.

Two bodies found in the bathroom. One was a child and the other was an adult woman. After searching all the houses of the arrested, most of these bodies were found. The head of the group hit the desk in great indignation at the point.

'......why was it a child and a woman?’

A woman who was very close to me muttered quietly.

I didn't know her name because I've never seen her before. But everyone stopped buzzing and looked at the woman when asked the question, which exactly struck her heart. Then the woman, who felt the gaze, shrugged her shoulders slightly and looked at the group leader quietly.

Why was it a child and a woman?

I couldn't stop myself from opening my mouth when everyone was in the agony.

'Because the meat is tender.’

The horse was no different from throwing stones on the calm lake. At that moment there was a huge wave and everyone's eyes turned to me. The head of the group who made eye contact with me flashed his eyes at the moment and the woman who muttered looked at me with a look of astonishment.

'......what crazy noise!'

At that moment, the team leader, wearing sunglasses, stood up and pointed a finger at me. As such, my remarks were a shocking and inappropriate answer. But I didn't regret my remarks. Because I heard it directly from a non-human beast.

While I was staring at the team leader with my mouth shut, suddenly Kim Hye-jung stood up and shouted.

'He knows! Dong-yoon's company is the only one who has ever dealt with a tramp!’

That's how she opened her jacket zipper and put her hand inside her clothes. Then he hurriedly started to find something and took out a piece of paper and walked quickly toward the group leader. The silver-rimmed glasses, which received the paper instead, soon delivered the paper to the head of the group and the room was enveloped in silence.

Time passed slowly. As time went by, everyone's eyes turned to the head of the group, and the head of the group quietly laid down the paper, as if he had felt the gaze.

'... ...Mr. Dong-yun.'

'Yes.'

I answered briefly to the group leader who called me. Then the group leader gave a deep sigh, covering his face with his palm, and soon asked me a question.

'The vagrants...'Do you eat people?’

'Yes.'

No one brought up a horse. Maybe they're as gentle as he said. The gentle sheep who believed in the fence of the ranch and never came out. The gentle sheep who had never met a wolf were at this moment in panic, scared and terrified.

'Someone has to take responsibility!’

The sunglasses sprang to their feet, shouting. His face was pale, but he was furious as to whether he was trying to hide it. And starting with the cry, the pros and cons began to diverge.

That's right! You have to take responsibility!’

'No, what's the responsibility in this situation? Team leader Kim Hye-jung is also a victim!’

Those who appeared to be belligerent criticized Kim, while some of the officials, who seemed to be gentle, turned around her. Me and the old man sat still and watched the scene quietly. But as time went by, the argument got worse.

I turned my eyes quietly and looked at Kim Hye-jung, who was crying.

Is it her fault? Or is it all their fault? I avoided answering myself. And as the shouting went on and off, the head of the group hit the desk and shouted violently.

'Quiet!'

The hands that were pointing at each other stopped. And the soaring excitement and the high voice disappear in a flash. No matter how docile and friendly the head of the group, he was the leader leading this large group. They bowed their heads gently.

The group leader sighed deeply and soon looked at Kim Hye-jung.

'......The search team will disband today.’

There are mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. Kim Hye-jung couldn't look straight at the head of the group and lowered her head, while officials who defended her blushed. There seemed to be a lot to be said, but the head of the group didn't want to listen.

hehe

I can hear a quiet laugh from one side. Turning his eyes and looking at you, the combat team leader was laughing wretchedly. Seeing that the search team, which was fighting for revenge, was disbanded, he seemed to be very satisfied with himself. I quietly put my hands in my pockets and closed my eyes.

'And!'

But the group leader's words are not over. The head of the group shouted loudly as if to be heard by everyone who was buzzing, and soon turned his eyes and stared at me.

'Mr. Dong-yoon.'

'Yes.'

I answered briefly again. Then the group leader continued to speak like a rapid fire.

'I'll move you to a better place. And I'll assign more time for mental therapy and teachers for my children. Your party will now be staying in Eden without any worries.’

I remembered Chae-yeon smiling in my arms. Dad! Dad! I couldn't have been so pretty to see you calling me with a dainty mouth. His long and pale face, which had always been anxious, had turned into a plump peach color.

The child should keep growing like that. No worries, no threats! You must grow up happily without knowing anything. It didn't matter if the price was a crushing fear. I wanted to take the luggage instead.

I don't like Eden. I hated the gods they believed in, the doctrines that did not save me. Bad sunglasses, and the little ones who have been mean to us. Life as a search party, always risking your life! Oh, I wanted to run away.

Where is my Eden? Does it even exist?

If my Eden wasn't there, if it wasn't originally my Eden!

If that's the case.

I wanted to protect Chae-yeon's Eden with my hands.

I take out my diary like a habit and turn it over quickly. The old papers began to flutter like flying butterflies. Everything I've written in my diary passes by like a movie. I was scared and wanted to die. But I was still happy.

Kwak Dong-yoon's life is back again after Kwak Dong-yoon's life. I nodded humbly before the life.

The head of the group opened his mouth without hesitation.

'Provide the same equipment as the battle tank. No, if you want anything, ask for anything. It doesn't matter directly, and you don't have to listen to commands. And all decisions and instructions are made by Dong-yoon.’

The old man laughed. And the team leader grinds his teeth while taking off his sunglasses.

'Four members, including Dong-yoon, will form an independent team. And the target that we're dealing with is the vagrants.'
