The Descent Of The Demon God
Chapter 38: One more (1)
Man skin mask maker.
It was known only to a few people in Shenyang's dark world.
Baek Jong-so visits his mother Geum Oh-yeon every year by changing her face using a skin mask.
And every time, he was amazed.
The walls of the shop were filled with exquisite human masks which made one wonder if it was really made with human skin.
Amazingly, the price of masks made with technology as sophisticated as it turns out not as expensive as people think.
Every time Baek Jong-so leaves, he is the only customer.
It even made him wonder that if his customers were few, how could they pay employees.
After all, Baek Jong-so had visited him regularly and remembered the faces of most of the employees.
"Hey. How did you get caught here? "
They hear from Neung Do-myung that it is a place where the worst criminals are being held.
It is strange that this man was held in prison and even tortured cruelly.
Of course, according to Public Security, skin masks can be used by people to commit crimes. However, it is not a first-degree crime.
“Uhhhh.. uuuhhh... uuuhhh.”.
His way of speaking is strange.
Baek Jong-so has released a stopper in his mouth, but the man does not speak.
And when he looked closely.
"How could he!"
The man's tongue was cut off.
It was not cut evenly, as if the person had cut it by biting it with his teeth.
Mendeering!
“Uhhhh! Uhhhh! Uhhhh!”
The man struggled with his hands shackled.
It seemed like the person wanted to say something, but it was hard to understand the pronunciation.
"Look here"
Baek Jong-so took a few steps back, then Chun Yeowun made a mark with her index and middle fingers.
The shackles on his wrists and ankles were torn apart.
The crack!
'!!!'
The man was surprised.
The restraints were made of special alloys, so it was not something that could be easily cut down.
Of course, to Chun Yeowun, it was no big deal.
The surprise was short.
The man fell to the floor and then started writing something with his finger.
One punch, and then another punch, and,
[Spaces]
'Room.'
[Spaces]
'Room.'
[…]
'ah!'
Chun Yeowun and Baek Jong-so exclaimed simultaneously.
"You want to help?"
The words written on the ground asked for help.
“Uhhh.”
The man nodded and tried to write another letter.
At that moment, Chun Yeowun grabbed her neck with her right hand.
“Ak!”
"Aah!"
The man and also Baek Jong-so were confused by the action.
"Speak."
“Ihhhh?”
"Speak so I can understand."
'!?'
Hearing Chun Yeowun's words, the man's eyes widened.
What others could not do due to his vague pronunciation, was not a problem for Chun Yeowun.
'W-how?'
That's thanks to Nano's abilities.
It was possible, because Chun Yeowun had placed her hands on the vocal cords and analyzed them with the help of Nano.
“Uhhhh?”
[Through?]
Nano said the man's words.
"Don't talk about useless things, say what's necessary."
“Uhhh. Uhhhh!”
[Please help me. We're running out of time.]
“What do you mean, out of time?”
Hearing Chun Yeowun's question, the man looked at Baek Jong-so and said,
[Our shopkeeper is in danger.]
The original voice had a lot of urgency, but since Nano was a machine, it contained no emotions.
Chun Yeowun repeated the words she heard.
"His owner is in danger."
Baek Jong-so looked at the man.
"Huh? The owner in danger? No, what happened to you?”
Question A Baek Jong-so, the man's eyes reddened.
[Please! We don't have time to do this right now. Please help me. Please, as a Sect member, please.]
"Cult?"
Chun Yeowun frowned.
Unless he misheard, the man called himself a member of the Sect.
"Are you saying you're a member of the Sect?"
“uhhh..”.
The man hesitated at the question.
'Can this one be trusted?'
The positions of the Black Sky Company and the Sky Demon Order were not in good condition.
That's why people don't disclose it except in an emergency.
The worried man opens his mouth, judging that Baek Jong-so can be trusted.
[I am a member of the Sky Demon Order.]
'Members of the Sky Demon Order?'
Baek Jong-so's eyes fluttered.
He thought that the people in the shop were all just ordinary people.
But if they were members of the Sect, why would they never reveal or hint their identity to him?
He was confused, when Chun Yeowun said.
"Which clan?"
The man was surprised by Chun Yeowun's question.
'Is this person also from the sect ...? Then whose faction did he take?'
Currently, this Sect was divided into three factions.
In such a situation, everyone should be careful.
Hesitating about what to do, he immediately decided that there was no point in thinking about it and said.
"Klan Illusion Ghost."
"Klan Illusion Ghost!"
Chun Yeowun could not hide her shock.
He never thought that he would hear that name from the man's mouth.
The ghost illusion clan.
One of the main clans in the Sky Demon Order.
It was the main clan in charge of information gathering. The clan sent spies throughout Jianghu.
'That's why they make skin masks?'
As a group that controlled intelligence and spies, people were experts at making masks, and it was a skill passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, the human skin mask was not something that only the Ghost Illusion clan could make, but Chun Yeowun could not think of any other clan that would do it as perfectly as them.
"You're from the Ghost Illusion clan?"
Geum Oh-yeon is shocked.
He also looked surprised to hear about the clan.
With a trembling voice, and as she looked at the traces of torture, she asked.
"Is director Huan here?"
Whether he knew her or not, the man looked at her with familiar eyes and shook his head.
“uhhh. Uhhh. Uhhhh.”
[He's not here. More than that, please help the shop owner. Please!]
"Who is the owner of the shop?"
At Chun Yeowun's question, the man spoke with an anxious face.
[. Our head.]
A town about 14 km southeast Bureau.
As the Gate Warning was issued, the dark night streets were filled with silence.
All the residents have fled to shelters.
A rundown building was hidden at the end of an alley in the city that had many buildings.
This building seems to have a secret.
There's a basement 3.
The elevator only shows the basement 2 floor, but there is a hidden staircase that leads to the 3rd floor.
Of course, even if one was lucky enough to find a ladder to descend, the safe room was hidden.
The room called the safety shelter is made of superalloys as thick as 80cm and can not be opened from the outside without keys and codes.
“Haaa..”.
Inside, there was a man, breathing a sigh of relief.
He was in his forties, with a slender physique.
The man looked nervous as he could not take his eyes off the CCTV video screen installed in the safe.
The screen shows the entrance of the stairs and all the interiors of the basement 3 floor.
A tad.
The man bit his pinky nails.
The reason behind his anxiety was because he was hiding from someone.
'At least the Gate Warning was issued.'
Due to the sudden Gate Alert, the operation of the subway has been stopped.
Therefore, he came back here and hid himself.
'Ugh, if only they were 30 minutes late ...'
That man must have come out of Shenyang.
The safe room, made in an emergency, was strong enough to hold the explosives, but being inside made him feel unsafe.
'This place in Shenyang is no longer a safe place.'
The security of this city is outdated.
It was a gloomy time.
The point!
'Eh?'
One of the screens on the monitor is disconnected, and the screen goes black.
CCTV on the lobby side of the building.
The man who saw the screen was confused.
'Run to another place!'
All windows and entrances to the building were closed in response to the Gate Alert.
The fact that someone broke through the cover means…
The crack!
CCTV continues to be turned off until the basement stairs.
'Fuck!'
The man instinctively knew that it was the enemy.
Frustrated, he pressed a button on the device under the monitor.
The trap on basement 3 floor was activated.
"Please don't pay attention."
However, as if ignoring everything that had happened, the stairs leading to the basement had been found.
And CCTV installed in a narrow hallway showed black shadows on the screen.
The man tried to rewind the video.
And he set it to slow mode at 8x.
Shhh!
The masked man slashed the CCTV camera with his sword at high speed.
Although the video was slowed down, his movements were unclear.
The crack!
'ah!'
At that time, CCTV entrance to basement 3 was turned off.
There are only two CCTV cameras left.
He thought it was one person, but there were six people.
Among those wearing black jackets, the one with white stripes on his wrist was probably the captain. When he gestured, two men threw something at the CCTV.
The crack!
Both cameras are broken.
It meant that everything he could see inside the safe was gone.
The only shield the man left behind was a trap on the 3rd floor of the basement, and the walls were made of superalloys.
'What should I do?'
The man's eyes were tinged with anxiety.
Surely the wall was strong, but it was impossible to understand what was happening outside.
The man raised his weapon in the corner of the safe room.
Sweat on his forehead.
That's about 3 minutes or so.
“Haa.”
Cold air enters the safe room.
He thought it was because of his breath, but then he saw a white breath coming out of his mouth.
'I-this is?'
Jjkkk!
Frosts begin to form on the walls of the safe room.
'Quick cooling?'
That was.
Woong!
A sharp blue blade pierced through the wall of the frozen safe.
The sword energy made one slash to drop the frozen superalloy door.
'Fuck!
Srng!
The man hurriedly tried to draw his sword.
At that moment, the alloy door broke, and someone broke into the safe room.
The man hiding swung his sword.
The Ghost Sword Technique of the Flying Ghost Sword opened in his hand.
The sword skill was so fast that it was very pleasant to look at.
However, the intruder's martial arts were far superior to his.
A cahchachang!
He lightly blocked the striking-looking sword and then thrust his sword into the man's chest.
the piece!
"Shoppers!"
However, a woman's scream escaped from the man's mouth.
"Find You!"
The masked man, who was an intruder, quickly sealed his blood spots.
The gaze!
“Euk!”
The body cannot move.
That person, who was dropped without much resistance, looked at the masked man furiously.
The man wore special glasses, and the eyes were the only part of his face that was exposed, so it was impossible to know his identity.
Clench!
The masked man grabbed the man's head.
“Ugh! Wh-what are you doing! Go!"
As he shouted, the masked man raised his gripped head even higher.
And.
Rip up!
Starting with the hair, the man's facial skin was torn apart.
When the skin is torn, muscles and blood vessels should be visible, but instead, a face is revealed inside.
A beautiful woman in her late twenties with short hair.
“Huan Xia's. To hide in this place.”
Grab it!
Hearing the words of the masked man, the short-haired woman, no, Huan Xia, bit her lips.
He hoped everything would be settled, but he was caught.
The masked man reported to the captain in the back.
“Target has been secured.”
“Now, let's go back.”
Hearing the masked captain's words, the masked man placed his hand on the woman's shoulder.
“kyaaa..”.
The gaze!
When he tried to shout, the man sealed his blood spots, making him unable to.
Being oppressed helplessly, he had no choice but to let them endure it.
The masked men climbed the stairs to the basement of the second floor.
'A…'
The woman was draped over the masked man's shoulder and taken from there.
They're not headed to the building entrance.
They went to the 2nd floor above and jumped from the window as if it was an entrance.
Nah!
It was a typical blind spot because the building was in an alley, and darkness ruled everywhere.
The masked man who jumped first opened the manhole cover on the floor right in front of the building.
The route they used seemed to be a culvert.
'The clothes smell disgusting ...'
thought Huan Xia.
However, it was the optimal route when the Alert was issued, and the Bureau everywhere blocked the road.
"I'll go down first."
The person who opened the manhole jumped into the gutter first.
Well, he tried.
As he jumped, a voice came.
Woong!
“Euk!”
Thump!
The masked man's body flew upwards and crashed into the wall of the building.
Clangs! Srng!
The masked men, who were unsure of what was going on inside the sewer, immediately drew out their swords.
'What?'
Huan Xia, who was also confused by what was going on, saw someone walking from one side of the alley.
It was Chun Yeowun, walking as her black coat fluttered.
Chun Yeowun, who was approaching them, muttered softly.
"Finding a rat."
The masked captain's eyes narrowed.
'… An expert.'
Judging that his enemy was unusual, he nodded towards the manhole and told the other person who tied the woman up.
"First off. I'll stop him.”.
That was.
Cut it!
Something fell to the floor of the alley..
That's the captain's right arm.
'!?'
“Kuaaaak..!”
Grab it!
“Emp!”
Just as the captain was about to shout, someone grabbed his mouth and lifted him up.
'When is he?'
Swat!
The masked men, who found Chun Yeowun, were shocked when they tried to escape.
To them, Chun Yeowun spoke in a cynical tone as usual.
"Who told you to go?"
