Chapter 9 Kim Soo-hyun begins a rite of passage. =========================================================================

“Ha… I’m so frustrated!”

“Gasp!”

Park Dong-gul, who had been looking around since earlier, stepped into the center of the vacant lot, raising her voice as if she was looking for the right time. Perhaps surprised by the sudden swearing, Lee made a hoarse sound in surprise. And in a moment, Park Dong-gul smiled satisfactorily at Lee Shin-woo. It was a good word to get a head start, a bad word to get a head start.

“Hey, you guys, what do you know about this shit? What?”

Ansol was shivering in Anhyun’s arms. Ahn Hyun and the two women I couldn’t confirm had different facial expressions.

One looked relatively calm, but the other didn’t seem to like Park Dong-gul, who suddenly caused a stir. His eyes were squinting and staring. Suddenly, I was curious to see the user information of the two women, but I decided to watch the man’s behavior.

“Are we all mute here? Don’t just shut your mouth, say something!”

‘Foolish.’

Does he want to show off his temper or show off his manhood? Park Dong-gul showed violent gestures and kicked a fist-sized rock around her. The stone he kicked flew in quite a force and disappeared into the forest. There was an awkward silence among the people sitting at his unexpected behavior. But I could definitely hear it. There was no sound of a stone falling to the ground.

Growl.

At that moment, a soft cry rang out in the quiet forest. I didn’t hear a stone, but everyone seemed to have heard a cry just now. Anxiety flashed through their faces. It was ten years ago, so I couldn’t remember everything, but I felt a vague flash of old memories.

What happened in this place then.

What kind of man is he? If you have any complaints, come out right now. Come out and talk to me, huh? Is it you? Or you?

Park Dong-gul pointed out those who looked despicable and relatively weak. Lee Bo-rim and Lee Shin-woo shook their heads hurriedly with contemplative faces. At that time, a woman who had been staring at Park Dong-gul stood up. He must have been holding his breath.

“Madam, why don’t you stop? What are you doing now that you’ve aged?”

“What? What? Why don’t you stop?” You’re old age? Did you do that to me?”

“Yes, I did. What should I do? Aren’t you ashamed? We’re all in the same boat, so why are you yelling and freaking out?”

“Now you’re talking down? How did you get home education for two years? Why are you talking down to an adult? Is that what your parents teach you?”

“Two years? Well, let’s see. Let’s see…Yeah, so your parents teach you to grow old and yell at your kids? You scumbag!”

I laughed inwardly as I saw a woman who didn’t back down a word and responded strongly. At first, Park Dong-gul only laughed in vain as if she was dumbfounded. But soon, anger was rising and her face was blushing. He snorted hard and soon walked toward the woman with a devouring step.

Soon after, Park Dong-gul, standing in front of a woman, opened her mouth with a grim look on her face.

“Hey, twins, what about your parents? Say it again.”

Usually, an adult male would be discouraged if he did this much. However, perhaps because the woman was so strong or fearless, she snorted at Park Dong-geol in the eye.

“That’s funny. Do you think I’ll be scared if you do? Did your father and mother teach you like that? You son of a bitch!

“I’m really trying to get behind you..”

Park Dong-gul’s fist slowly rose into the air, perhaps feeling deep anger. Nevertheless, the woman did not blink an eye. It was just when Park Dong-gul was about to punch.

“Hey, mister. Stop it.”

Ahn Hyun, who had been silent so far, spoke for the first time. Park Dong-geol, who was about to slap a woman on the cheek, looked back at Ahn with an absurd face. I could see Ansol pulling his collar. However, Ahn managed to open his mouth one more time.

“There’s nothing wrong with him. We’re all on the same page. What’s wrong? What did they do wrong?”

“These… these guys….”

Park Dong-gul bit her lips to see if she was ashamed. However, the fist that went up as if it felt the gaze pouring down on him was coming down again. When the woman showed a weak laugh, Park Dong-gul turned around screaming. As he sat down again, he was still groaning, and when it didn’t go his way, he seemed to be in a fit of anger.

“What the hell are you looking at? Aren’t you going to turn your eyes?”

In the end, Park Dong-gul vented his anger on Lee Shin-woo, who was sitting next to him. Lee Shin-woo moved his seat with an unhappy face. It was then.

Growl.

The crying we just heard was clear to our ears again. It was only then that I could embody my vague memories.

At that time, we would have killed only Eoyeong Booyoung and then scattered around in the sudden attack. The reason is the rock that Park Dong-gul dumped earlier, and the loud singing with women.

This was all I had for these people. I don’t know what happened after that, but if you think about what you haven’t seen in Hall Plain….

You mean they all died in a rite of passage? Oh, maybe not Ansol.’

If he spends time as it is, he may follow the first round as it is. No, I’m sure it will.

I decided to give a little help. But I didn’t mean to give you direct help. For now, I was only going to help them move and give them a chance to cooperate with each other. So, I lifted the crossbow right away.

Clank!

“Hey, what are you doing now…”?”

Everyone must be very sensitive, so even a small noise draws attention.

The person who spoke to me was a woman who had just boasted a great talker. Still, he didn’t speak informally from the beginning if he had a concept. Park Dong-gul seemed to have some ugly fur on her.

“You’re making me nervous.”

“I’m more anxious about the crossbow.”

“Well, where do you think this is right now?”

“What?”

The woman opened her eyes wide. His sharp eyes made him look angry, but overall, he had a pretty face.

“I’ve been through a lot of unconvincing cases on my way here. Isn’t that the same for everyone here?”

“That’s…, yes…..”

People nodding their heads. Summoning room, angel, transmission. They must have also experienced and witnessed. As such, what they needed now was an attitude to accept reality as soon as possible and actively engage in a rite of passage to survive.

I started loading arrows into the speaker crossbow. It was a little small for a crossbow, but it was also quite convenient because it was a detachable type that could be worn on the wrist. I started to pick up the weapons one by one, whether I felt anything after seeing the crying and my behavior that I just heard.

Before long, everyone but those who came empty-handed took up arms. I’m almost ready. I looked around and thought calmly.

The place where we are now was a vacant lot in the middle of the forest. It is full of trees and forests everywhere. I just started moving in the opposite direction with Park Dong-gul kicking a stone.

I only moved a few steps from the vacant lot, but I felt clearly dark. The trees and grasses in front of me had a gloomy glow.

You may have some anxiety because you hear a cry. I could feel the signs of people following me behind my back gradually increasing. While I thought my action was still good, my plans were creaking from the start.

“Hey, Ansol. Wake up. We’ll have to catch up with him soon.”

“No… I don’t want to go inside…I’m scared..”

“Are you going to stay here then? You’ve been saying that for a while ago. I’m nervous. I shouldn’t be here. But what’s wrong with you all of the sudden.

“Ugh….”

As soon as I heard the brother and sister’s conversation, I felt the strength in my eyes. Well, you may feel it yourself because you have a lucky capability of 100 points. However, it is only speculation. Perhaps he has not yet overcome the fear that comes from his instinct, but he does not seem to have any intention of dropping his hips from the ground.

Growl! Growl!

During the bickering between the two, several more cries were heard. As the voice grew louder, it was clear that it was almost around now. People waited calmly for two at first, but before they knew it, they began to show their nervousness.

“Well, excuse me. Can we leave first? Actually, I’ve been shaking since earlier….”

“Let’s, let’s go! Let’s just leave it. What are you talking about?.”

Lee Shin-woo’s voice stood up to a grim rose, as if he had courage. And Park Dong-gul came in right away.

Whether you were told to leave first, or if you felt that way. Ahn Hyun made a more urgent expression and attracted Ahn Sol.

“Come on, wake up. You’re next to me. Please listen to me.”

“Ha… But I can’t get my feet off the ground…”Uh….”

Ansol finally burst into tears. Meanwhile, Lee Shin-woo and Park Dong-gul have been giving hints since earlier. He seemed to want to get out of this unstable space as soon as possible. Of course I didn’t mean to abandon those two. Because it was much better to hang out with those two, even if they were abandoned.

“Oh, let’s go! Why are you standing still?”

“Well, come on, come on..”

As the buzz grew worse, Ahn Hyun hardened his face. Then, he eventually cut off his brother’s hand, which was holding his collar tightly. Ansol raised his head and chewed his lips.

“Oh, brother?”

“Yes, then you stay here alone. I’ll go somewhere else.”

You’re lying. However, Ahn Hyun’s acting was pretty good. After he finished his speech, he turned his body coldly, holding a sword and shield. As Ahn Hyun walked toward us, Ahn Sol pouted her lips as if she was shocked. Then I said, “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. Let’s go,” he said. He began to shed tears in public. Regardless of that, Ahn Hyun purposely rushed us and pretended to move in the forest.

“Uh…, brother…Don’t go…”

“Ansol, wake up right now. I need you to figure it out, please, will you?”

“It’s my fault…Don’t throw it away again.Don’t go… Uh….Ugh….”

“You’re not going to wake up right now?”

In the end, Ahn raised her voice with her eyes wide open. Maybe it worked a little, but Ansol slowly raised himself up while whining. It was then.

Growl! Growl! Growl! Growl!

Oh, my God, I’ve been so slow.’

I felt a sense of frustration. It was not a sense of frustration caused by fear, but a sense of frustration that the future might change and lose Ansol here. The identity of the cry was now being heard more clearly, almost to the point. The problem is that Ansol, who was just getting up, froze.

“Oh, brother….”

The streets were opening up little by little. Ahn’s behavior was firm, even though he saw Ahn Sol stretching out his hand in silence. No, he seemed to be pretending to be calm. The talkative woman tried to step up herself, but An-hyun raised her hand to stop her.

“Let it go.”

“Don’t leave me alone!”

“Then come this way on your own. It’s not too late. If you can’t do that, you won’t be able to survive.”

“Uh….”

For a moment, Ahn Hyun felt new. He was staring at Ansol with convinced eyes. Whether Ahn Hyun’s sincerity worked, Ahn Sol showed him clenching his teeth. I thought I could come by myself if I waited a little longer, but unfortunately it was too late.

Growl! Growl!

‘This cry, it’s the Dead Man.’

Deadman. His name sounds grand, but he’s a nobody. In fact, users of Hallplane were so weak that they didn’t even hit Deadman as a monster. Although it is said to have some intelligence and ability to infect, infections can be treated sufficiently if treated in time.Of course, it’s not possible to treat it here.

And if there’s another characteristic….

(Screams)

They usually wander around in slow steps, but when they find food, they turn into running steps.

Deadman, who burst out of the forest with a scream, rushed toward Ansol with his mouth wide open. Perhaps this was unexpected, Ahn Hyun screamed and ran out.

“Sol!”

And the scream wasn’t just Ahn Hyun.

“Argh, argh!”

“Yikes!”

It was like watching a zombie movie. The group quickly fell into confusion as the monster, who dangling the torn flesh, rushed in. There was a stone embedded in the chest, which was clearly a stone kicked by Park Dong-gul earlier. If so, he must have been stoned and wandering around us.

Growl! Growl! Growl! Growl! Growl! Growl! Growl! Growl!

Whether they responded to people’s screams, the cries of the Deadmen increased beyond the forest.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Sol! Wake up! Solah!”

Ansol, who barely managed to get himself up, seemed completely unconscious when he saw Deadman. Ahn Hyun ran quickly, but Dead Man is closer. Ahn Hyun also extended his sword’s hand to the back, as if he had felt it. Then he swung vigorously at Deadman.

Ring! Boom!

Oh, did you hit it?’

Blackness flew with great force and blew Deadman’s left arm. But that’s all. He staggered for a moment, then straightened himself up and ran to the front of Ansol.

“No, no, no, no!”

Dead man with his mouth wide open.

Ansol, whose eyes are wide open.

And howling Anhyun.

I could be sure at that moment. As I took some kind of action, the future of Ansol also changed. I fired the crossbow I had been preparing for without hesitation.

Ping!

The arrow, which flew with a sharp breaking sound, pierced Deadman’s head with a puck sound. Deadman’s weakness was his head. There is no way to stop an arrow when a stone that has been kicked digs into the chest. Deadman collapsed with his mouth open.

Flop!

“Beauty…, crazy…”.”

“Gasp. Gasp.

The reaction of people who just saw the monster was almost the same. Everyone seems to have finally realized that this situation is no joke when they twist their weapons. Of course, you may have known the situation roughly, but if it had been vague so far, there was definitely a serious atmosphere now.

In the meantime, Ahn Hyun’s actions were quick. He ran quickly and helped Ansol, who was only pouting his lips. And quickly returned to where we were. He was also breathing heavily, perhaps quite surprised at the situation just now.

Soon everyone’s eyes were on me. I moved to the lead. I’ve killed one, but in a little while, a lot more people will gather. The number of crying must have increased, and the dead men gathered here. It would be quite a headache for them to form a siege.

I started walking without saying anything.
