Chapter 128

The Approaching Darkness (4)

“If only I had come out like this a little earlier, wouldn’t that have been better?”

Leaving his wife and son running towards Kang Hyeon, Jo Yu-sik opened the window.

“Hey, it’s on the 7th floor, so it should be fine, right?”

Kang Hyeon said with a mischievous expression.

“We’ll see!”

Jo Yu-sik jumped out of the window, spewing a clichéd line.

Kang Hyeon didn’t chase after him, but calmly watched the scene.

The guild members were already waiting outside.

Jo Yu-sik entrusted them and Kang Hyeon had to deal with what was happening to him.

“Hmm...”

The sharp blade was approaching right in front of him.

The kitchen knife that had just been used to make a delicious dinner was now reaching out to slice Kang Hyeon.

It seemed like he should immediately evade, but Kang Hyeon just stood there dumbfoundedly watching.

-Crash!

The kitchen knife that touched Kang Hyeon broke into pieces and scattered.

“I can feel the magic power, but in terms of physical strength, he’s no different from an ordinary person?”

The woman stretched out her hand again, despite the knife being broken.

-Thud!

Her delicate fist struck Kang Hyeon’s face.

Of course, the broken part was the fist.

Kang Hyeon stroked his chin and continued the analysis.

“Judging from the way he’s hitting hard enough to shatter bones, it seems like he’s squeezing his muscles to the limit...”

Jo Yu-sik’s son also attacked Kang Hyeon, but there was nothing special about it.

“Is their consciousness completely gone? Why can I feel the magic power? They’re clearly ordinary people.”

Lost in thought, Kang Hyeon suddenly grabbed the two.

“At this rate, you’ll end up dying. Tsk, tsk.”

Due to their reckless attacks, the mother and son’s bodies were in a mess. Their entire bodies were covered in wounds, and there were numerous swollen areas where bones were broken.

Despite this state, they were still solely focused on attacking Kang Hyeon.

“Just lie down for a moment.”

Kang Hyeon lightly struck the back of their necks to make them faint, and laid them on the floor.

“I should go check now. They must have caught Jo Yu-sik by now.”

Kang Hyeon thought as he was about to jump out the window, but the fallen mother and son started convulsing.

“What? Why are they like this?”

Kang Hyeon was puzzled by the sight of them trembling like someone possessed by a shaman.

“They can’t die. Come to your senses!”

Suddenly, he thought about trying to wake them up with a finger water gun spell, but for some reason, it didn’t feel right.

Fortunately, the mother and son soon settled down.

With their eyes rolled back, they remained motionless.

Kang Hyeon brought his face close to examine their condition.

“Hmm... Are they okay?”

At that moment, the woman’s mouth suddenly opened wide, and a huge insect crawled out from it.

“Aaah! Shit!”

A life form hundreds of times more disgusting than a cockroach, the size of a fist.

Kang Hyeon flinched and fell on his butt.

“What a nasty surprise. Phew... what is this disgusting thing?”

Kang Hyeon frowned at the insect.

“Huh? What’s wrong with this?”

The crawling insect suddenly moved at an incredible speed and clung to Kang Hyeon’s body, trying to sink its sharp fangs into his flesh.

“Where did this filthy mouth come from?”

Of course, Kang Hyeon’s tough skin didn’t even get a scratch.

Kang Hyeon crushed one of the insects under his foot, and holding the remaining one in his hand, he went outside.

It was unpleasant, but he couldn’t think of a safer way to transport it.

“Looks like you’ve handled it well.”

Outside, Kang Hyeon saw the guild members who had captured Jo Yu-sik.

“Yes, I’ve knocked them out for now.”

“Good job. Call Team Leader Shin Tae-gil and tell him to come clean up here.”

“Understood.”

Jo Yu-sik was lying on the floor, foaming at the mouth.

“Didn’t that uncle have any insects come out of his mouth?”

“Insects, you say?”

“Something like this.”

Kang Hyeon shoved the warm insect he had just caught at Shin Seong-a.

“Hmm, it’s quite peculiar-looking. Where did you find this?”

“It came out of Jo Yu-sik’s family’s mouths.”

“Interesting...”

As Shin Seong-a was examining the insect with interest, a scream came from behind.

“Kyaaaa! What is that disgusting and gross thing?!”

Yoon Na-rae made a fuss, contorting her face.

“My eardrums almost burst. Why are you screaming and making a fuss? I feel like hitting you.”

In the abandoned factory near Jo Yu-sik’s house.

“Huh! As if I’d open my mouth like this! No way in hell!”

Jo Yu-sik, his body bound to the chair, spat and ranted.

“Uncle, don’t get ahead of yourself. I haven’t done anything yet.”

Kang Hyeon looked at Jo Yu-sik with a puzzled expression.

“Hmph! You’re on top of the world right now, aren’t you? Wait and see. The day of your regret will come soon. By then, you’ll be trembling and begging for salvation, but it will be too late.”

“Geez, these villain types never change their repertoire. It’s so cliche it’s sickening.”

Kang Hyeon frowned, scratched his ear, and continued.

“Uncle, let’s just get along nicely, okay? Shall we fight? Or just talk? If you answer well and don’t make me feel bad, I might even spare your life. Probably just kill you, though.”

His companions looked at Kang Hyeon with a strange gaze.

‘But who’s the real villain here...’

Oblivious to this fact, Kang Hyeon looked at Jo Yu-sik indifferently.

“Just kill me! The result will be the same no matter what you do.”

“Hey, I’ll handle that however I want.”

“Kill me! I have an immortal body anyway. I’m not afraid of death!”

“Geez, you talk too much.”

Kang Hyeon slapped Jo Yu-sik’s cheek.

In an instant, his pure white teeth flew out along with blood.

“Ack, ack...”

“Jo Yu-sik, from now on, only speak when I tell you to. Otherwise, your teeth will keep falling out like this. Nod if you understand.”

“Kill me!”

“Sigh...”

He wasn’t getting through to him.

Seeing Jo Yu-sik completely consumed by madness, Kang Hyeon sighed.

“What the heck are they doing at the church these days to make people go this crazy?”

“Kang Hyeon, that’s not a church, it’s a cult.”

“Oh, I see. Well, this is getting annoying.”

While Kang Hyeon and Shin Seong-a were conversing, Jo Yu-sik kept babbling without pause.

“It’s not much longer now. When that person arrives, everything will be purified, and this world will be reborn!”

“Uh-huh. Okay, let’s talk about your family then. Your family must be important to you, right?”

Kang Hyeon brought up his family, but Jo Yu-sik didn’t budge.

“After death, I’ll enjoy eternal life. My wife and son will understand.”

“This guy is completely out of it.”

“Brother, what are we going to do?”

At An Yu-seong’s question, Kang Hyeon shook his head.

“What can we do? We just have to keep beating him until he comes to his senses. Most likely, he’ll come to his senses after taking some hits.”

“Makes sense.”

With his thoughts organized, Kang Hyeon approached Jo Yu-sik.

“Do you think I’ll be afraid of that!? No way in hell!”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

Kang Hyeon grabbed Jo Yu-sik’s head.

“Ack, ugh... Aaaaah!”

“Talk. Or else your head will split open.”

Faced with the immense pressure on his head, Jo Yu-sik let out a scream.

“Looks like he has a decent level and is pretty tough. I could keep at it all day if I treated him properly, but can’t we just get along nicely?”

Just as Kang Hyeon spoke softly...

“Brother, I feel something coming.”

The approaching An Yu-seong grabbed Kang Hyeon.

“Huh? What’s that...”

Suddenly, Kang Hyeon could also feel the magic power approaching.

“Ah, I see. Wait a minute, how many are there?”

“What? Uh, are we supposed to run away now?”

Feeling the approaching magic power, Yoon Na-rae panicked.

“An opportunity to take care of them all at once has come, so why run? If you want to flee, you can go alone.”

“Get a grip! Those coming can’t be less than 300! Hurry, let’s get out of here!”

“300 is just about right. It’s been a while since I had a good fight.”

At Kang Hyeon’s words, An Yu-seong smiled.

“Brother, I said it would be fun, didn’t I?”

“Detectives have their trials, you know.”

The final line was from Shin Seong-a.

“Phew, I wonder why I came to this hellish place...”

Yoon Na-rae shook her head and sighed.

“I don’t know either.”

She couldn’t just run away on her own.

“Give me a bonus when this is over! I need to buy the limited edition sorceress costume to relieve this stress!”

Yoon Na-rae gripped her wand, burning with determination.

“I’ll think about it if you survive.”

Of course, Kang Hyeon had no intention of actually giving her a bonus.
