‘This ability… … .’

Hitomi felt a strange familiarity.

‘Loss’ of one’s own ability.

It was a special skill in person-to-person combat that completely lost the sense of part of the opponent’s body.

Hitomi had once devised the idea of losing all senses of the opponent when the skill level went up so that he could not do anything.

The feeling he was experiencing right now was very similar to that idea.

“Ugh.”

Hitomi opened her mouth and tried to tell who the other person was, but she couldn’t even speak because she couldn’t feel her mouth.

The assailant approached Park Ha-yeon, who had fallen, and took out a machine such as a barcode reader.

“I don’t mean to hurt you. no, don’t fix it Sharks, you are right to harm you.”

“Ugh.”

He put the mechanism on Park Ha-yeon’s chest and turned it on.

Characters were printed on the screen of the device.

「Network communication unavailable: server lost(77)」

「Offline Mode」

「Object’s D level: 1441」

「Not a suitable target」

The assailant didn’t know the details of the mechanism, he only knew that the target had to be eaten by a demon before it could be used.

“Obviously, I did an experiment before I came. Is it a network problem? Why not?”

When things didn’t go as planned, the black robed man was panicked and tapped the device.

“weird… I can’t be the devil. Obviously, he said he had already lost his mind at this point.”

He took the notebook out of his pocket and double-checked it.

The notebook also stated that demonization was over at this point.

This is information from Shinnoda’s words.

It was the testimony of a person who knew most accurately.

The assailant once again brought the device to Park Ha-yeon, but the result was the same.

And at that moment, he slumped to the floor with a tremendous amount of life he felt behind his back.

A katana that hits the spot where the monster was.

Hitomi retrieved the knife and took a stance.

“How did you get released?”

“I saw you moving even after receiving my skill, and I wondered if there was a way to break it.”

Hitomi responded in Japanese to the monster’s words.

She used the ‘lost’ skill on herself to adjust her senses set to zero.

“Were you always this smart, Hosokawa Hitomi? It’s like someone else.”

“It’s tough. I am Ashikaga Hitomi.”

“what? Don’t you even know your name?”

The assailant kept talking to her, diverting her attention and sneaking into a javelin stance.

“Your identity is… … .”

A spear flying towards Hitomi who was about to say something.

The assailant could have been killed instantly by throwing it in the heart, but he deliberately threw it to avoid fatal injuries.

When Hitomi dies, he cannot exist.

Hitomi twisted to avoid the spear flying towards his side, and the spear hit the bag hanging from his back instead of his body.

“I’ll be sure to guess next time.”

The assailant said so and raised his hand, and the spear moved by itself and returned to his hand.

“Completely, it’s a scam.”

Hitomi groaned.

The contents came out of the torn bag.

Photos and textbooks were messed up and torn by the windows.

“That… … .”

The torn picture caught the eye of the monster.

In an instant, his movements stopped.

A picture from the bag.

That was evidence of memories with friends.

And they were torn by the spear.

It was the same with Shin Noda and Park Ha-yeon’s photos.

The assailant took a picture out of his pocket.

It was strange that Hitomi’s name was not ‘Hosokawa’ but ‘Ashikaga’.

The picture is old, but in good condition with no wrinkles.

“… … That’s weird. Strange.”

Goosebumps erupted all over the monster’s body.

This is impossible.

Also, it shouldn’t have happened.

His hands and feet were trembling.

The battle could not be continued.

The assailant again wiped out Hitomi’s senses and lifted Park Ha-yeon, who had fallen.

“No, no, it can’t be.”

The monster muttered and left.

Hitomi’s skill level was low, so it took some time to regain her senses.

When I opened my eyes again, no one was there.

“Hayeon… I was kidnapped!”

***

Shocking news I heard on the way back.

I was startled and lost the spear I was holding.

It was a gift from ‘Jeoknachal’.

“Park Ha-yeon… Were you kidnapped?”

<Okay! I told the police! We must do something too!>

I ended the call with Hitomi and went to the place where the battle was fought with Laura.

Several police officers have already arrived and are investigating.

“ha.”

As the police arrived with bloodstains scattered everywhere, it seemed as if someone had died.

I felt nauseous.

After living together for a long time, I felt very close to Park Ha-yeon.

An incredibly nice and innocent guy.

I thought of her as a brother.

Besides, without her, I was worried that the mid-boss who would come out later would hit me with a deal.

“You can’t come in here.”

The policeman stopped him, saying the scene should be preserved, but I pushed him aside.

Traces left on sidewalk blocks or roadside trees.

There were lots of bloodstains and sword marks.

“f*ck… … .”

Ha Yeon Park will be kidnapped.

I really couldn’t imagine it.

There was no such thing in the original story, and there is absolutely no reason to aim for Park Ha-yeon.

Moreover, even if there was such a reason, it was impossible to lock her, who was in the midst of growing up, in the house.

“What kind of guy were you?”

I asked Hitomi who was with me.

“It looked similar to the Dark Knight and used a spear. And the ability… It’s meant to erase the other person’s senses. This feeling.”

For a moment, I lost my balance and stumbled.

It feels like one leg is missing.

I bowed my head and saw that it was well attached.

The sensation in the legs was completely gone.

As if it didn’t exist in the first place.

“A skill like this?”

“yes… It’s very similar to mine. And the other person can speak Japanese. He knew my name. The last name is wrong.”

“Hmm. Are you famous enough to be known by everyone in Japan?”

“If you are interested in current affairs, you will know. Even if I swear, I eat it… Hi-Hi… .”

Thanks to Hitomi’s testimony, clues were gathered.

There is still nothing to point out in terms of using a spear, similar to Hitomi’s skill, or imitating the ‘Dark Knight’.

But since I know her and can speak Japanese, she is Japanese.

It goes without saying that the most dangerous thing in Japan is the ‘Salvation Evangelical Church’.

‘Did the Gospel of Salvation do something wrong? But how did you know that Park Ha-yeon is the main character? In the original, such a description… .’

tiri.

The bell rang.

I picked up my smartphone and answered the call.

【Isia】 0:01

A call screen was displayed on the display.

Before leaving, I left a text message to Lee Shia asking him to find Ha-yeon Park.

“Xia-senpai, where is Hayeon?!”

I opened my mouth in an urgent voice.

<Yes! Fortunately, the guy who kidnapped her was caught on CCTV or on cameras. I’ll upload the route to your phone. When you open the map app, the route will appear automatically.>

Shia Lee briefed the results of the investigation in a calm and quick voice.

It was the mechanical sound of the polite ‘Gareas’ suit.

“thanks.”

<By the way, the culprit is the Dark Knight? Did you lend your robe to someone?>

Lending ‘hermit skin’ to someone?

I can’t do such a stupid thing.

Apart from revealing the identity of the ‘Dark Knight’, the ‘hermit leather’ robe was a rare fraudulent item.

“No way. Does it look the same as the Dark Knight? Isn’t that an imitation like Yoon Miso?”

<Yes. Who do you think I am! There’s not a single Dark Knight video that didn’t go through my hands. I know better than anyone.>

I got goosebumps at Isia’s tone of voice that even gave me a sense of pride.

“… That’s so believable. Anyway, I see. Please keep looking for information.”

<Okay!>

n.

The phone is disconnected.

I found the Maps app in the main menu.

As Isia said, the route appeared as if she had specified a destination to find the way.

“Hitomi, I have a point. let’s go!”

“Yes!”

I immediately grabbed Hitomi’s hand and pulled him out.

As she followed me, she had a questionable face as to whether she was thinking otherwise.

“Why, what did you have in mind?”

I slowed down and calmly asked if I was missing anything while in a hurry.

“I don’t know if it’s important, but the villain must have been shocked to see the picture from my bag. And I took it with me.”

Hitomi answered in a tone without confidence.

Rolling his eyes back and forth and frowning, he seemed unsure of what he was saying.

“okay? It’s a photo… He’s a weird guy. If it’s a picture, is it the one you took in the arcade?”

“Uh.”

I couldn’t think of any reason why the Gospel of Salvation people would be surprised to see it.

“Let’s go at once.”

I just have to bump into it.

With Laura too, it will work somehow.
