I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

EPISODE 86. Catching the tail

After all, he had a very hot-tempered. I looked down at the iron door strewn across the ground, then raised my head at the harsh swear words.

“Wh, what are these bastards?”

“Fuck, surprise me!”

The men inside the building hurriedly became alert as if they were startled by the thunderous sound of a door falling out.

Inside the container, which was wider than it looked from the outside, various clothes and items were displayed. There was even a staircase going up to the second floor, so it felt like a small market.

I didn’t know what the five men were doing in a place like this. First of all, I looked at the faces of the four people in front of me. It was the same as the data Hyde found.

‘Did one hide?’

Seeing that the energy itself hadn’t moved away, it was clear that they were inside the container. First of all, there didn’t seem to be any way out other than the entrance we entered, so we should deal with the guys in front and find them.

“Ya, there are only two of these bastards?”

“These fucking bastards want to die.”

In the meantime, I finished grasping the situation to some extent and the men secretly formed a rank and laughed at us.

Each had a sharp knife in their hand. Even if they came with a gun, we would yawn while fighting them, but it was a knife. A jackknife that couodn’t even use properly?

‘It won’t even take 10 minutes.’

The opponents must also know that we are higher in rank than they are.

But they probably didn’t know that the SS-rank would come. If there were two A-rank people, four B-rank people, and one C-rank could compete, so they were confident like that.

“Look around, you stupid bastards!”

Black dust gathered in Ha Tae-heon’s hands, who was blocking my front. Ha Tae-heon, who had created a long, black stick with his ability after a long time, quickly ran out.

“Crazy, what the… aagh!”

Pook, pok! Ppaak!

“Kkeuaaagh! Wa, wait…!”

Kuung, kwajik! Kung!

Hearing the men’s screams and cheerful threshing sounds, I unwrapped another lollipop wrapper I had received from Ha Tae-heon earlier and put it in my mouth. The sweet peach flavour spread in my mouth.

“Sir, wait a minute! That, put that down and our conversation… Ouch!”

The men who were being beaten began to beg as if they had figured out Ha Tae-heon’s skills belatedly. However, there was no way Ha Tae-heon would let it go.

The gangster-like appearance shown by men was one of the things Ha Tae-heon really disliked. Even in the ‘Abyss’ novel, he was always cold-hearted toward those guys.

Seeing the men flying in the air every time Ha Tae-heon swung his arm, I thought it would take less than 10 minutes as I guessed. I became the perfect spectator, using minimal wind to help Ha Tae-heon move quickly.

Piiik…

Fox, who had been watching the same scene from above my shoulder in a state of invisibility, cried low. It seemed that he, like me, was starting to feel sorry for the men beaten by Ha Tae-heon.

I couldn’t help it even if I felt sorry as well. We had to take down every single one of them and drag them away.

In that short time, three people fell. It was the time when I was watching Ha Tae-heon punching the last man in the face while rolling a round candy in my mouth.

“Da, damn you! Bastards!”

Through the dusty crates, a man jumped out at me. He was one of the last B-rank talented person in hiding.

‘I knew it would be like this.’

At first, he must have hidden for a different purpose, but after seeing the same group lose without being able to resist once, he changed his mind to a surprise attack. It was an obvious plan.

It was neither too close to avoid it nor was it a sharp attack, so I raised the wind first. However, before I could deal with it, Ha Tae-heon intervened in front of me at breakneck speed.

Ha Tae-heon, who saw the jackknife aimed at me, grabbed the opponent’s wrist. Then he swung his huge fist mercilessly.

Ppook, the man hit by Ha Tae-heon’s fist fell to the ground. He was knocked out by one punch and passed out. Still, Ha Tae-heon, who had been controlling his strength, hit the last man hard enough to faint.

Ha Tae-heon crushed the jackknife that the fainted man and threw it to the ground. I noticed Ha Tae-heon who became sensitive in an instant. I should have stayed behind.

“Thank you.”

Anyway, I was saved by that, so I said thank you first. Ha Tae-heon, who showed a more sensitive reaction than I thought, was very slightly scary.

“I think we can take all five of them now.”

The destination was Requiem. At my words, Ha Tae-heon took out five silver handcuffs from his inventory. It was a shutter item that he had brought to take the talented people.

Looking at the five people lying on the floor covered in blood, the wind moved the handcuffs. I hated touching them myself.

The five people who passed out were handcuffed on both arms as my wind moved.

* * *

As we discussed beforehand, we arrived at Requiem and went into the underground parking lot to avoid being noticed by the people around us.

“Welcome.”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who had been waiting after emptying the parking lot, greeted Ha Tae-heon with a blunt expression. Woo Seo-hyuk, who looked at me from head to toe as I got out of the car, asked.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Of course not.”

Ha Tae-heon grabbed the five people who were roughly crumpled in the back seat and dragged them out one by one by the collar. The five people who were thrown to the floor of the underground parking lot like some kind of baggage were groaning and screaming in pain even while fainting.

Woo Seo-hyuk blinked and the security team, who had been standing back, approached and dragged the men away. The sight of people in black suits dragging away bloody people in a dark underground parking lot was creepy, but they were the criminals, not us.

“What about the others?”

“We’re ready and waiting for you two to arrive.”

After exiting the parking lot, we headed to the training room located in the innermost part of the third basement floor. This training room was also the place where Lee Soo-jin was interrogated during the previous drug case.

This training room, which had been locked because there was no use for it, was reopened this time.

“Hyung, are you here?”

Standing in the hallway in front of the training room, Kwon Jeong-han smiled softly at me.

Kwon Jeong-han, who played his part properly during the last interrogation of Lee Soo-jin, took charge of this interrogation as well.

Unlike the last time when there was less pressure because it was only one person, this time it must have been a difficult decision because he had to control five people at the same time. I was both grateful and sorry for his readily accepted it.

“Are you really going to be okay?”

“Of course. It’s not as difficult as Hyung is worried about. And…”

While talking with Kwon Jeong-han, the attendants arrived at the training room one by one. Kwon Jeong-han shrugged his shoulders after checking the appearance of the men dragged by the attendant’s hand.

“There’s less risk of resistance in that state. It’s evenly and moderately well-beaten.”

He said they were beaten evenly and moderately… was it a compliment? I didn’t know what to say, so I just smiled awkwardly.

The attendents greeted us and left the training room with them, but not only being handcuffed, they were also tied up their ankles just in case.

When it was Lee Soo-jin, they even gave her a chair, but now all five of them were lying on the cold, hard floor of the training room. The treatment was very bad.

For safety reasons, Ha Tae-heon and Woo Seo-hyuk didn’t go out and stayed. Kwon Jeong-han, who knew the real names of the five people in advance to use his abilities properly, stood in front of them.

“I’ll wake them up first.”

Kwon Jeong-han kicked the shin of the man in front. Rather, I was taken aback by that the act of without hesitation.

“Uuh…”

The man, who had been hit hard by Ha Tae-heon and dragged in and then being hit further at the shin, twitched between his brows and groaned. Still, he opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed, that was seen being effected by it.

“Hello.”

“Gasp…! Shit, what is it?”

Surprised to find Kwon Jeong-han in front of him, the man pulled his butt back. Either that or not, Kwon Jeong-han turned over the document he was holding and continued with his words.

“Let’s see. Um… Choi Jin-tae-ssi (최진태)? Is that right?”

“What? What are you doing, you bastard!”

“Why are you cursing? I’m just making sure it was right.”

As Kwon Jeong-han lowered his eyebrows as if he was hurt, the panicked man screamed with his face stained red.

“This fucking! Untie this now, you jerk!”

“You keep cursing me…”

“You young rude bastard, do you want to die? Oh?”

The man continued to spit out low-level curses at Kwon Jeong-han.

I didn’t know if it was because we were hidden by Kwon Jeong-han or if he was just stupid and couldn’t tell the difference. Right now, the person they should be most wary of wasn’t us, but Kwon Jeong-han.

“Do you bastard think I’m an easy opponent because I’m being tied up? My blood in my head hasn’t that dried yet at all…!”

Kwon Jeong-han, who had just listened to the man’s squealing with an indifferent expression, soon folded the document and turned around. Kwon Jeong-han, who walked toward me, handed over the document and opened his mouth.

“The face and name are all matched. I have memorized everything, so please take the document and go out for a while.”

“You want me to stay out? It’s dangerous alone.”

“Dangerous? Me?”

I got goosebumps at the question. Only then did I face Kwon Jeong-han’s coldly smiling face.

“…I will be out.”

I could understand that I shouldn’t be stubborn without having to listen to an explanation. After quickly leaving the training room, I rubbed my goosebumps forearms with both my hands.

‘Scary, scary…’

Kwon Jeong-han, who already had a difficult impression, made up his mind to use his abilities properly, so I got scared. I quietly waited outside until Kwon Jeong-han finished the interrogation, hoping he did it in moderation.
