The Live

Yoon Jae and Jung came out on the street.

There was nothing I could have done since I was stuck in my room right now. I felt a lot of gaze, and I repeated that gaze disappearing again.

While walking for a long time, the regular asked.

“How do we find him? ”

After going to the square, Jung thought it would never be easy to find the culprit who killed Yun Jae's family.

There were tens of thousands of people who took part in the Murder Clan exam right away. It was never easy to find a specific person in it.

Moreover, Yoon Jae doesn't even know the name or face of the other person.

Rather, the target is more difficult to find than the Murder Clan's targets.

“It's not that there's not a lot of clues. ”

“What is it?”

“It's his habit. No, should I say marks? ”

There were two main motives for serial killers:

The kind that wants to show off their existence through a series of murders that are joyful and pleasant to kill.

Most serial killers belonged to either of them. Or two.

“The man who killed my wife and daughter always left a mark on the back of the victim he killed. in X letters.”

“What is it? The dense mark. ”

“This is the man I killed." That son of a bitch likes to show himself. The other side didn't change his personality. ”

“We have to find the dead, leaving a mark? ”

“That's right."

“Hah, I'm embarrassed. ”

Normally, he sighed in a difficult tone.

If this were the real world right now, it wouldn't be that hard to find a dead person.

People die in the world they lived in. It's a pretty good issue.

But this was the other side of the world, and it was also dark mium.

An outlaw city that kills more frequently than any other city in the other world. As long as there was a special mark left there, it was never easy to find someone who had died.

“Well, we can't just go after him right now. We have to fix this first. ”

Yoon Jae said that and twisted the paper in his hand.

Rather than chasing the culprit who was unsure of where the city might be, it was more important to find a clear target.

“Are you sure you want to kill him? What if someone doesn't have anything to do with this test? ”

“You don't have to kill this guy. I told you, didn't I?”

“You want to take away the paper the others have? ”

“Well, that's part of the way it is. ”

Yoon Jae said so and looked around.

“Like this. ”

Sok-

Right after the two of them stepped into the back alley.

The four suitors emerged, blocking both sides of the narrow alley.

“... I heard you were going a strange way. ”

“Well, don't you want them to know everything? Don't kill me if you can. ”

Jubbuck-

Yoon Jae walked forward.

“Let me ask you one question. Answer me and I'll get over it. ”

When Yoon Jae who should be embarrassed appeared rather confidently, the four people who blocked the front and back looked ridiculous.

“…… What are you getting yourself into? ”

“I don't know. Can't you see the situation? ”

“Did I do something wrong? ”

There was a guy who noticed something strange.

However, he could not escape from this situation. As the four opponents did not rush in, Yoon Jae said the next thing.

“I'm looking for someone. Has a killer ever shown up in this city with an X mark on his back? Or, do you know anything about him? ”

“What the fuck are you talking about? ”

“I don't know. Forget it, kill him! ”

Naturally, the conversation did not continue.

The four individuals started rushing from front to back towards Yoon Jae and the norm.

“Well, I thought it would be.... ”

Kieing -

Yoon Jae rushed towards the two individuals who were rushing forward without running away.

You quickly draw your sword and swing it to the right. At the same time, one hand reaches for the dagger coming from the left.

Cau-!

An elongated Longsword will bounce into the air.

Chuck...

The dagger that was stabbed comes into your grasp.

“What, what? ”

The person who was caught with the dagger in Yoon Jae's hand was surprised.

Yoon Jae's hand, which was surrounded by 'Cavalry Armor’, was hard enough to catch the sword surrounded by magic.

Yoon Jae flicked his sword and swung it straight away. Blood splashes high and the back of both parties is cut deep.

Aah! Aah!

“Aah!”

“Aah!”

Immediately, two individuals were overwhelmed.

Phew!

Yoon Jae kicked the person who was falling forward and turned his head back.

“Son of a bitch, what are you counting? ”

“Joe, be careful……. ”

“Ahhh-!"

Although it was slower than Yun Jae, the regular was also subjugating the two parties not so difficult.

I didn't even have to help.

It seemed that one person was already finished. It wasn't hard for either of them, but only one.

“Well, that should give us a sense of the situation. ”

Yoon Jae leaned down and looked at the two people who had fallen down in front of him.

“What was the answer to that question? Depending on the answer, I can save your life. ”

“Ah, ahh... ”

Is it because he realizes he can't fight?

Both of them looked frightened. He realized that Yoon Jae could kill them at any time.

“Tsk.”

Yoon Jae smashed his tongue on those two faces.

‘These guys are fake. ’

It was too weak.

You're not as crazy as Dean Alador, the murderer you first met in Mellon. Moreover, there is no hardness.

Just watching them roam around. These guys weren't hanging out with the clans.

Dean Aladore is closer to the real killer than I thought.

“Aren't you going to answer? Or do you know nothing? Either way, just die. ”

These are not the people who enjoy killing as a hobby, but they were the ones who attacked first.

I didn't intend to spare my life here. If you let him live, he might end up being a wreck later.

“Ho, I wonder……. ”

“Tell me. ”

Yoon Jae turned his gaze to him when he opened his mouth after being kicked.

After that, Yoon Jae opened his eyes wide.

“Yes, are you referring to the man who committed serial murders in Ahn Yang a few years ago? ”

Anyang.

It was the city where Yoon Jae and his family lived.

Over the years, there has been only one serial murder in Anyang.

“Yes, that's him. ”

Yoon Jae's heart thumped.

Maybe, I reached out to him and grabbed him by the throat without even knowing it.

“Tell me. Where is he? ”

“Heave, heave! I... I don't know... I don't know... ”

He tapped Yoon Jae's hand as if to let go of this.

Yoon Jae soon realized that he was in a hurry and let go. I took a deep breath and asked again.

“Yes, then answer me. How do you know about him? ”

“I lived in Anyang at the time. A serial psycho killer with an X mark. Well, I came this way before the killing was over. ”

Yun Jae's memory of the serial murders in Anyang has continued for nearly four years.

Dozens of them, many of them, didn't get caught until they were all dead.

The person in front of me was the person who had been passed on to the other side in the four years.

“So? You don't know anything about him from this side? ”

“I know one thing for sure. ”

“What is it?”

“If you answer me, you'll save my life, right? ”

Suspicious glare.

Yoon Jae nodded without hesitation.

The person who hesitated for a moment immediately opened his mouth.

“He's in the dark. He came into this world, too. ”

“How... are you sure?" ”

“I just saw him. A corpse marked with an X mark. ”

“What……? ”

Yoon Jae's eyes opened wide and her mouth froze.

Found it.

My heart was racing.

Then, toward Yoon Jae, who was shaking, the dagger flew from the left again.

Scheech -

Identify -

Blah!

Yoon Jae's left arm had a dagger in it. At the same time, Yoon Jae's right fist raises his jaw.

My eyes flipped over with the sound of bones cracking. Reflexively, Yoon Jae, who flew his fist, took a big breath.

“One more time...... and I won't kill you." ”

“I'm sorry. ”

The person who was talking about the unsub looked closely at his colleague, who had fallen to the left.

One punch knocked him unconscious. I ambushed him because he seemed to be shaking a lot, but I managed to deal with him quickly.

Yoon Jae's expression, which seemed cold for the first time, suddenly changed.

‘What kind of eyes... ’

It wasn't just the ambush.

Yoon Jae didn't care about anything like that.

I pulled out the dagger in my left arm as if it were nothing. I didn't spill one of those little moans even though it was going to hurt pretty good.

“Next question, then. When and where did you see the body? Did you check his face? ”

“...... He's coming for you. ”

“What?"

“The bastard you're looking for, he's after you. Murder clan trials. We were hired by him. When he entered the camp where he was staying, he noticed that there was a pile of bodies with an X mark on their back. ”

My head got complicated.

Just like he's looking for him, he's looking for himself. Coincidence or not, the guy who was targeting himself killed his family.

‘This time...... the future has changed. ’

There was no record of him in the journal.

The man who killed his wife and daughter is targeting him. To pass the Murder Clan's test.

We don't really know if it's a coincidence or if someone intervened. But one thing was certain.

Seek-

“Good for you.”

“…… what? ”

“If I stand still...... you mean he'll appear before me? ”

Of course, I don't intend to stay still.

In order to meet him as soon as possible, I will find him myself.

I couldn't figure out how to find him among this vast and myriad of people. Luckily, he's looking for himself, too.

The future has changed.

Thanks to you, we have a better chance of finding him.

“Where is he staying? ”

“Three floors of the Baltic Inn on a 20-minute walk north of the plaza and the innermost room. ”

“The Baltic Inn.... ”

Yoon Jae remembered the name of the inn in his mouth.

Meanwhile, in the back, he was walking towards Yoon Jae to make sure the norm was also cleared out.

“What are you talking about? ”

“Are you done?”

“Yes. These guys, they're weak. ”

Regularly, even though there were two opponents, it's not that hard to overpower them. If it was a situation to kill, we could have done it sooner.

“I think I found it. ”

“What?”

“The culprit. ”

Yoon Jae's answer widened his regular eyes.

“Already?”

“The Baltic Inn on the main road north of the square. The innermost room on the third floor. This is where he is. ”

I found him sooner than I expected.

Yoon Jae, who was thinking about something for a moment, nodded and opened his mouth.

“You're coming with me. ”

Saaaaak -

Along with that, Yoon Jae's sword slit the person's throat, which was stretched out to the left.

“Of course…… just you. ”

The person who answered the line was surprised and sharpened his teeth.

“It's a different deal! ”

“I want to live. Just you. Where did you think you were going to save the rest of us? ”

I don't know what they were paid for, but they were trying to kill the unaccounted for. There was nothing good about keeping him alive.

“Damn……. ”

“Lead the way. If you don't mind, I can go alone. Well, at that time...... I'll cut off one limb at a time. ”

Acknowledge -

According to oppressive Yoon Jae, he changed his teeth.

He had no choice. I already told you where it was anyway. I gave him directions, just to be sure where to find him.

“Lead the way. Now, now. ”

* * *

“What is the calculation? ”

I suddenly asked Taehan Kim.

“What is it? ”

“That person is Yoon Jae Kim. Do you intend to kill him? ”

“Oh, that? ”

After realizing what Kim Taehan meant in the description, Siffman smiled and replied with a small smile.

“Just curious. ”

“Which one of you? ”

“Both. ”

One of them is the new man who killed Dean Alador.

The other one was a murderer who had been named from over there.

They were all particularly notable in this trial. Siffman deliberately manipulated the test by using Kim Taehan to get the two of them to meet.

“Aren't you curious? Together, we'll see who dies. ”

“…… I'm curious. ”

Kim Taehan thought for a moment and smiled.

Siffman has been interested in Yun Jae and the regulars, the ones who killed Dean Alador for quite some time.

After all, Yoon Jae volunteered for the Murder Clan's test. It's the first time since the walker Elvin, and it's not weird that Siffman cares.

However, Kim Taehan was more interested on the other side than those two.

‘Cause he's a real killer. ’

There was no other reason.

I just left him strong and weak, and I didn't think he fit the clan any better.

‘Well, they have abilities. ’

I happened to run into him.

He was more than just a grumpy personality. I was good enough.

But what was different about him was his special ‘skill’.

“It's going to be quite interesting. ”
