Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 21

# 21

021

The aiming line was pointed exactly at the target’s head.

‘If you just pull the trigger, that guy will die.’

There was no reason to hesitate.

The moment the hooded woman tried to pull the trigger with her finger.

“It’s here.”

A voice seemed to come from the depths of hell.

The hooded woman almost stopped breathing as she was about to pull the trigger.

It was worth it.

Because that voice was spoken by the target she was just trying to kill.

‘It’s here? ‘Did you come in contact with someone?’

The hooded woman’s gaze, which had been persistently shooting at the target, quickly scanned the surroundings.

However, there was no one to be seen in the dark night street except Target.

The moment she confirmed that fact, the hooded woman felt saddened.

There is no way the target was talking to himself out of nowhere, so there is only one possibility.

‘No way they found out I was here-‘

As soon as the target realized the situation, he suddenly made a certain movement.

Okay.

He raised his right hand and pointed to his temple.

Target Daesung repeated again.

“It’s here.”

“….”

The hooded woman froze, not even able to swallow her breath.

“You have to aim for this place. exactly.”

“iced coffee…?”

Daesung, who was far away, continued speaking without even looking in the direction where the hooded woman was.

He tapped. I tapped my temples with my fingers.

“Try shooting.”

In an instant, numerous thoughts passed through the hooded woman’s mind.

‘How did you know I was here?’

‘Or rather, why are you staying quiet even though you know I’m there?’

‘Should I run away?’

‘Shoot? ‘Really shoot?’

Rattling.

The aiming line of the pistol aimed at Daesung’s head shook like crazy.

I was so scared that I even had tears in my eyes.

As long as the location is discovered by the target, the assassination is a failure.

So, a head-on attack?

A monster that single-handedly swept through a horde of goblins?

impossible.

‘Let’s run away…’

The distance from the target is approximately 10m.

If you sprint, it’s not that difficult to run away.

The woman who made that decision was about to take her steps.

“If you run away, I will chase you until the end and kill you.”

I flinch.

My body became heavy, as if there were shackles on my ankles and a lump of lead had settled on my shoulders.

Tap, tap, tap. Daesung continued to tap his temples with his fingers.

“Shoot.”

He just stood there and kept repeating the command to shoot.

He didn’t turn in the direction where the hooded woman was, nor did he take any defensive stance.

The object to be killed opens its arms and urges you to shoot.

The hooded woman had no idea how to interpret this current situation.

It’s not like the head is protected by any special ability.

“….”

Gulp.

The woman swallowed, stretched her arm forward again, and placed her finger on the trigger.

I’m not doing this because the target is defenseless and seems to be begging to be killed.

-If you run away, I will chase you until the end and kill you.

Those words took away all my choice.

The hooded woman aimed at her target’s temple and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

“Ugh! Aaaaa!!”

bang-!

The bullet exploded with sparks from the muzzle and flew through the wind.

As the bullet hit Daesung’s temple, his neck was snapped to the side.

‘You got it right…!’

Just when I was about to shout out in joy.

The hooded woman looked.

Tuk degurrr.

A half-crushed bullet rolling on the floor.

“…?”

Common sense tells us that when a person is shot, the bullet has no choice but to penetrate the skin in the area where it was hit.

But the bullet gets crushed and rolls around on the floor?

‘You didn’t even shoot it at the iron plate?’

The hooded woman looked away from the bullets rolling across the floor.

The target was alive and well.

No, it was just fine.

His head was slightly tilted to the side, but he was neither bleeding nor lying on the floor.

Hissing –

Acrid gunpowder smoke rose from the battered temple.

‘What a dog-’

How can a human survive after being shot? There was no time to question such things.

The target is alive and well. As soon as she confirmed that fact, the hooded woman turned around and tried to run out of the street.

Pak-!

Until a fast-flying dagger stuck in her calf.

“Ahh!”

The hooded woman let out a scream and fell over on the spot.

No matter how awakened I was, I couldn’t ignore the pain of a blade piercing my skin.

Still, I tried my best to pretend not to notice.

Swallowing the pain, she stood up and tried to take a leap, straining her bleeding calves.

“Where are you running away?”

But a thick forearm stretched out from behind her and snatched her by the scruff of the neck.

bang-!

Her body was floating upwards, but she fell face first to the ground.

“Uh oh oh oh…!”

The bridge of my nose was shattered.

Asphalt powder got into my eyes, making it difficult to see.

More than anything.

The fear rushing in like a tidal wave was a pain, and it blocked all the neural circuits in my body.

“When I was in hell.”

Okay.

Daesung glanced at the hooded woman crawling on the floor like an earthworm and picked up a brick that had fallen nearby.

“There was a guy wielding a great sword that was five times the size of my height, and I had my shoulder cut off by him.”

Daesung, who stuck his finger into the hole in the brick, approached the hooded woman.

Jump and jump.

As the footsteps got louder, the woman’s despair grew.

“It was all better the next day.”

The hooded woman thought.

It’s impossible to run away.

It is impossible to win a fight with a healthy person even after being shot in the head.

This guy is another monster that is completely different from other monsters.

Should I just lie down like this and die?

“But are you trying to kill me with these little peas?”

no.

Even if it means dying.

At least I will struggle with all my might and die with pride!

The hooded woman swallowed her fear, made up her mind, and quickly stood up.

Phew!

An unidentifiable red energy gathered in her clenched fist.

“Aaaah!!”

A blow of conversion!

If you hit it right, it can be more powerful than a bullet!

bang-!

The sound of bones and muscles exploding echoed through the gloomy night.

This was also the moment when the Hood woman’s face collided with a brick.

“A million…?!”

The corner of a brick was stuck exactly in one side of my eyelid.

The hooded woman struggled, clutching her face where blood was gushing out like a fountain.

“Kwaaaaak-?!”

“who are you.”

Daesung casually threw the blood-soaked brick and looked down coldly at the hooded woman who was sitting on the floor and whimpering.

“You’ve been following me for a while now. “I was curious to see what was going to happen, so I just watched it and saw that my airway wasn’t filling up.”

“Keuuk. Now wait…”

“Why did you try to kill me?”

“Huh huh…!”

The hooded woman stared at the man in front of her through the pouring liquid mixed with tears and blood.

A face like a wax doll showing no emotion.

Even she, who has committed numerous killings, knows how heavy the meaning of human ‘life’ is.

But not this man.

This man… Daesung doesn’t know the weight of life.

He is a human being who, if he puts his mind to it, will commit murder without hesitation, like blowing out a candle.

I want to live. I don’t want to die.

That survival instinct made the hooded woman’s mouth move.

“To be honest… black. Are you going to save my life?”

“uh.”

Daesung nodded.

Of course it was a lie.

When he pointed the gun at her, he planned to kill her no matter what answer she gave.

“If you answer my question honestly, I won’t touch you anymore.”

“….”

From her perspective, she had to hope that those words were true.

“There was an order from within the group to kill you.”

“What organization?”

“It’s called the Siheungdongpa… It’s a pretty famous organization in this area…”

“I don’t know.”

As the hood woman said, they were gangsters who were notorious as a drug ring to the residents living near Nangok-dong, but there was no way Daesung knew about it.

What those guys were doing wasn’t an issue for Daesung.

The important thing is.

“Why are they trying to kill me?”

“…You threw away one of Joe’s organization’s precious sources of money.”

“I?”

“One of the guys who died at your hands managed to take a picture and tell the boss… that you completely destroyed the office run by the deputy boss…” “You guys are like cockroaches.

” . “In the meantime, I can’t believe I’m thinking about taking pictures again.”

It was only when I heard that it was overturned that I got a sense of how things were going.

The office of a private loan shark who robbed 500 million won not long ago.

An organization with ties to that place sent an assassin.

‘They weren’t all of them.’

I killed every single one of them without leaving anyone behind.

Now that things were like this, there was a need to do some proper planning and cleaning.

“Main camp.”

“Uh huh?”

“Tell me where the main camp is.”

“….”

Do you mean the office where the boss is?

It looks like this crazy guy is going to wipe out the entire organization.

The hooded woman could not respond immediately and kept her mouth shut for a moment.

Even though I was at a crossroads between life and death, I was hesitant about whether I could speak honestly as a member of the organization.

Let the silence last for more than 3 seconds.

Daeseong

pushed the dagger deeply into her calf.

“Huh…!”

The hooded woman, who no longer had the strength to scream, poured out foam and swallowed her screams.

The blood vessels on the nape of my neck swelled to the point of bursting.

‘…There’s no way I can save you.’

As my mind became clouded as I wandered through death, I was able to become more calm.

If I answer the question honestly, you will save my life?

lie.

As an assassin for the organization, she has witnessed and executed many deaths up close.

So I was able to intuit it.

That he will die today.

“…Do you think I’ll tell you?”

I’m going to die anyway.

She laughed bitterly, determined to keep even the cheapest loyalty and die.

“…Ask me a hundred times a thousand times. I am… As for your question…”

“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it.”

Wow-!

Daesung, who didn’t want to hear any more, snapped the hooded woman’s neck.

Her body went limp without even a moment to utter a word.

I couldn’t get the answer I wanted, but I didn’t want to question it any further.

The guy who decided to die anyway has nothing to be afraid of, so his mouth is heavy.

It is clear that holding on to such a person will only be a waste of time.

‘There are plenty of ways to find out without asking this guy.’

Moreover, even if you open your mouth, there is no guarantee that it will be the truth.

And Daesung had a different way to find out the 100% truth.

I felt much more comfortable choosing that method than arguing pointlessly with a dying woman.

Pak-!

Daeseong pulled out the dagger of judgment stuck in her calf.

‘I guess I’ll have to dispose of the body first.’

He clearly learned that, unlike hell, Earth is left behind if a corpse is left behind.

If the body of the hooded woman is left unattended like this, it will be another incident like the news I saw at the meat restaurant earlier, and it will make a lot of noise.

‘It’s not that difficult to dispose of the body without a trace and at the same time find out where they are.’

Daesung dragged the body of the hooded woman into an even more remote alley.

He planned to go to the Pantheon and bring one item to life.

‘It’ll be troublesome if other people see the body while you’re at the Pantheon.’

So, the body was hidden as far as possible in a place with few people.

I don’t plan on staying at the Pantheon for long, but just in case.

Tung-!

Daesung threw the body of a hooded woman into a food trash can in an alley.

This way, you won’t be noticed by anyone until morning.

“Pantheon.”

As he chanted that, a fire burned fiercely in the air, and eventually a stone gate appeared.

[Would you like to enter the Pantheon?]

Squeak –

As I nodded, the stone gate opened by itself and bright light poured out from beyond.

Daesung walked towards the light.

***

[Enter the Pantheon.]

[Pantheon recognizes the ‘Journal of the Absolute.’]

As the hologram rose, a huge notebook was created in the air, just like before.

I definitely remember using the item I’m about to implement a few times before.

If memory exists, the time and space of that time would be recorded in that journal.

‘Soul count reduction used by the Ghost King.’

It is a ring-shaped artifact that was most cherished in his life by the man who led the army of the dead.

The Ghost King trapped the dead in a soul cell, turned them into his own limbs, and founded an army.

Thanks to this, he had to face an army alone, which was no different from breaking a rock with an egg.

However, he did the impossible and eventually succeeded in obtaining the power of the Demon King.

‘It was useless.’

Soul Reduction Center resurrects the collected dead as spirit soldiers.

The command soldier absolutely obeys the caster’s orders. Through this, Daesung also had the ambition to create his own army like the Ghost King, but…

‘It was too weak.’

Unlike the Ghost King’s beasts, the commanding soldiers summoned by Daeseong were too weak to be of any help.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter now.’

There is no other reason why Daesung wants to reduce his soul count.

Disposal of corpses.

Trap the body in a ring and erase any traces.

And it was also possible at the Soul Internment Center to find out the location of the headquarters of the Sinheungdongpa or something from the hooded woman who had now become an immortal guest.

That was enough.

[The demon beasts of Pandemonium cheer for the second coming of the Absolute!]

I could vaguely hear the demon beasts cheering passionately in my head.

It’s none of my business.

Daeseong approached the journal and gave an order.

“To the page where the words soul detention are written.”

Sigh –

the pages of the journal began to quickly turn to the back.

[Recognize the command of the Absolute.]

[Searching for pages that mention the specific word ‘soul count reduction’.]

[Search completed.]

[Search results: 134p]

The demon king sat on the throne of hell along with the devil for 15 weeks. He was one of the (masters).

In other words, Daesung at that time was entering the twilight of his 80 years of hell.

That was why the pages turned near the end of the journal.

[134p: -67 years. Would you like to recreate the 198 days in the Pantheon? Yes / No]

Daeseong nodded without hesitation, and soon the scenery of the Pantheon changed.
