Chapter 139: Chapter 139
"Suho-san, apart from moving separately from our guild, why don't we continue to share information with each other?"
After handing over all the information to Suho, Baek Miho made this proposal one last time before returning to the guild.
"You're not going to catch all the escaped villains anyway, are you? Sound... If you want to meet the requirements for a guild, you should only need to have about 50 people."
The reason for the "roughly" 50 is that the experience of hunting villains is not based on the number of villains captured, but on their bounty.
Based on low-level villains, it was enough to catch 50 villains, and if you could catch a villain with a high bounty, you could meet the guild's founding requirements with a smaller number.
Baek Mi-ho had already heard of Su-ho's purpose to catch the villains, so she decided to give up her desire to recruit him and focus on solving this case.
"And it's not like we're all about money. For the safety of the citizens, the key is to catch the villains as quickly as possible. We don't care if you take all the bounties, so let's help each other."
It was an offer that Suho had nothing to lose, so he nodded.
"Yes."
Suho clasped Baekmiho's outstretched hand.
***
After breaking up with Baek Mi-ho, Su-ho went straight to Pocheon, where Jisan Prison is located.
[Master, do you plan to start the hunt for the villains from the prison?]
On the way, Quay sneaked up and asked about Suho's plan.
"Quay, what do you think you'd be doing if you were one of them?"
Quay was a former villain, so he understood the villains' point of view.
[In my case... I was going to leave the country right away.]
In the first place, there weren't many options for the villains who were being chased by the Society.
[No matter how strong the villain is, there is no answer if the stronger Hunters come all at once, so you must hide from the shadows.]
It is for this reason that the villains of Jisan Prison, which now numbered as many as 500, have been quietly hiding after their escape, without causing much trouble.
Of course, for ordinary citizens, the fact was even more appalling.
Criminals with superhuman strength could have quietly mingled with them.
If they were openly on a rampage, they would have been able to avoid it, but if they were hiding like they are now, it would be impossible to avoid them when they suddenly revealed their true nature.
Such a potential threat made citizens feel uneasy.
[In one case, a seemingly ordinary woman sneaked into another person's house and murdered a family in order to hide in the house.]
The alleged villain was on the run and committed another crime.
The awakening of this ability was often outwardly invisible, so it was virtually impossible to distinguish it from others from the outside.
However, the villains possessed powers that could not be compared to ordinary criminals before the Cataclysm, and their threat was incomparable.
"But that's what it was all about."
In today's Korea, it was almost impossible to hide from the Hunters' Association's pursuit.
Their pursuit was relentless and relentless.
[If you want to avoid the Hunters' Association, you must leave this country, and there are only two routes to do so.]
The villains' passports are immediately suspended.
As a result, due to the topography of Korea, there were only two ways for the villains to leave the country.
"If you're like me and want to swim bareback in the ocean, or if you can't, you're going to have to go up."
"North Korea."
[Yes, Jisan Prison happened to be located in Pocheon, so it would be much easier to go to North Korea than to the sea.]
"But now there is a Hunter in North Korea, who is the last one."
The president of the association and the association's S-class hunter Choi Jong-in are holding out in North Korea, but there was no way they would go up to North Korea on their own without the villains going crazy.
At Suho's words, Quay nodded loudly in agreement.
[I see, that means that those half-hearted people who don't have the confidence to swim bareback in the ocean will still be isolated in Pocheon.]
"That's right. And it just so happens that the ringleader of this breakout, Brass Stone, is also a halfway C-class."
This was the first reason why Suho was going from Jisan Prison now.
And the second reason is....
After all, our minor lord is brilliant!]
Vere, who had been listening quietly until now, raised his head and his eyes lit up.
[And in order to get that Hwang Dongsuk, Greed will have to come to Pocheon as well!]
Suho had already heard about the true identity of the brass beast from Ver.
Hwang Dongsuk
It is said that in his previous life, he was a shadow soldier of Sung Jin Woo named 'Greed'.
However, as time on Earth went back in time, he went back to the time before he became a shadow soldier and then returned to living as a human named BHwang Dongsuk.
I've forgotten all the memories of my past life.
But that didn't matter to Ver.
Ver was very excited when he found out that Hwang Dong-so was involved in this case.
[That's great! take this opportunity to kill the brass beast again and bring him back to the grid!
"That's easier said than done. An S-class villain."
[S-class or whatever, if you rip the skull off the throat of the humans, they will all die.]
"My mother is also S-class, isn't she?"
[Kikik...!]
At Suho's words, Ver was taken aback and did not know what to do, so he hurriedly fell to the ground and bowed.
[This unfaithful servant is guilty of death...!]
"Anyway."
Suho turned his head away from Ver and looked ahead.
"Arrived."
Jisan Prison.
The smell of blood wafting from the door, Suho frowned.
The smell of blood was enough to give a sense of the horrors that had unfolded here two days earlier.
And it just so happened that there was a being beside him that smelled better.
"Gray."
Queaaaa
With that, a gray puppy emerged from the shadow of Suho.
[Gray Lv.35]
Fang Wolf
"Let's start the chase."
***
Two days ago.
The atmosphere in Jisan Prison was the same as usual.
Rumble.
When it was time for exercise, the prisoners rushed out to the playground to enjoy the outdoors.
There were people who enjoyed a simple exercise in the middle of the playground.
There were groups of threes and threes in the corners, giggling and chatting.
Even though this is a villain prison with the highest security rating in Korea, daily life was not much different from that of a regular prison.
Then it was.
"Ugh. Good weather!"
Just then, someone stretched out and walked out onto the playground, and suddenly all the prisoners in the playground felt tense.
Hwang Dongsuk
He was a C-class villain who reigned like a king among the inmates as the real situation of Jisan Prison.
"Uh-oh yes. Don't worry about me, take care of your errands."
Hwang Dong-suk sat down on the bench, grinning with satisfaction at the sight of the prisoners bowing their heads respectfully when his eyes met.
Then, as if he had been waiting, his men, known as the "Hairy Gang," gathered around him.
Conscious of this, the prisoners turned their heads to avoid eye contact.
"Don't scare the kids for nothing."
"Ugh. What else do you think I did? It's a shame. Hmph."
Despite the guard's warnings, Hwang Dongsuk brushed his bushy beard and shivered sadly.
But while his mouth and tone were smiling, his eyes were as cold as his eyes as he scanned the guard.
The snake-like gaze sent a chill down the guard's spine, but he tried to remain as expressionless as possible.
In fact, there was no reason for the guards to be afraid of brass stones.
He's a petty criminal at best.
He was just a C-class villain.
The only problem was Hwang Dong-seok's younger brother, Hwang Dong-so.
"Oh yes."
Suddenly, Brass asked the guard in a passing tone.
"Has my brother been caught?"
"...."
"Oh my gosh. Judging by the look on your face, it looks like you still haven't caught it. If you catch them quickly, the citizens will be safe."
"...."
The guard, who knew exactly what he meant, silently gritted his teeth.
- My brother is still outside? Aren't you scared of the night?
Hwang Dong-seok's younger brother, Hwang Dong-so, was an S-class villain.
As I said, I still haven't been caught.
And he was a dangerous person who I couldn't even imagine if he would ever be able to catch him in the future.
And Hwang Dong-seok took advantage of that fact very well, and enjoyed a good escort in this prison.
His younger brother, who was an S-class villain, was wandering around outside the prison, so no inmate dared to disobey Brass Dongseok's words.
In the first place, not all of the prisoners here were sentenced to life imprisonment, and one day they would be released after serving their sentences.
Or because they were afraid of repercussions that Hwang Dong-su would appear in front of the families of the prisoners living outside.
And that feeling was no different for a prison guard.
"Gasoles. The weather is so nice."
With a single word, Huang Dong-seok silenced the cheeky guard, and he chuckled and stared at the sunny sunlight.
Well-manicured lawn.
Colorful flower garden.
Bees and butterflies flying freely above it created a peaceful atmosphere.
However.
No matter how much this place became real and easier to live in, it was a bloody prison where freedom was suppressed.
He wanted to be as free as those bees and butterflies.
'Hmph. Really... It's the perfect weather to break out of jail.'
His smirk drifted naturally down to the electronic anklet that was strapped to his ankle.
Until now, the mere sight of this magic restraint would make me feel good and then plummet.
But not today.
"Boss."
As soon as the guard withdrew from his side, one of his subordinates stepped up to him and whispered:
"Everything is ready."
"Hmph. yes, well done."
Suddenly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Huang Dongseok's lips.
How much effort you've put in to escape from this damn place.
But that was the end of it.
Prison Tight Guard?
Association Hunters?
It didn't matter.
If the number of villains gathered here rioted at once, he was confident that he would be able to break through.
That is, of course, if only this damn magical restraint was resolved.
"Tonight."
Brass's eyes lit up.
"We're going out of here."
Eventually, they figured it out.
Even if you have a magic restraint, you can still use your magic power.
And the brass gang avoided the eyes of the guards and distributed blue pills to all the villains in the prison.
"Stardust."
How many cumbersome and cumbersome methods have been used to smuggle this magic booster into the prison.
Finally, all of that hard work paid off.
10 o'clock at night.
All the villains in Jisan Prison all at once, following the orders of the brass stone, took stardust and amplified their magical power.
To their surprise, the magical restraints on their ankles didn't react at all to the mana amplified by the stardust.
"Gasoles. He's right. How did he figure this out?"
The feeling of fullness of magical power boiling in your body for the first time in a long time.
Even though he had been tested by his subordinates several times beforehand, it was the first time he had taken stardust himself, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
"Let's get started, shall we?"
Then, with the most cruel look in his eyes, he gave orders to his men.
"Kill all the guards."
Why?
Riots broke out.
Sirens and screams echo through Jisan Prison.
At the sudden noise, the bees and butterflies perched on the flowers flew out in unison.
