Seongshin Station Exit 3.
In the vicinity, workers who worked tirelessly were moving busily.
And a man with scars standing in one place and urging the workers.
Jung-min walked slowly between them, watching them all.
‘The workers were very skinny. Are you making them work without feeding them properly? Trash guys…’
Seeing the man with the scars harassing the workers, Jung-min thought of punching him in the face, but he held it in.
‘See you later. I will definitely kill you.’
Jung-min approaches the large door that is being installed near the exit.
It was still being installed, so there was room to go inside.
Entering through that space, Jungmin thought.
‘If you came a little later and the door was installed, it wouldn’t have been easy to infiltrate like this. thank god.’
Jung-min slowly descended the stairs and entered the room.
Going downstairs, I saw the ticket gate and the ticket office in a wide space right away.
‘It’s a small station, so the structure is simple. It won’t be difficult to scout.’
There seemed to be a lot of construction going on inside as well, and I saw a lot of people working.
Jung-min used his awakening eyes to scan the people nearby.
‘All the people who work are non-awakened people. The ones hanging around are the Awoken… they’re all looters. All average stats are high. But the number of looters is smaller than I thought?’
Jung-min went down the stairs.
There was a large-scale construction going on where normally many people would stand and wait for the subway.
Jung-min clucked his tongue as he saw the construction site blocking the passage of the train.
‘To undertake such a large-scale construction. You’re pouring all the gold you got from killing the Awoken here.’
Jung-min noticed two looters looking at the construction site and approached them.
The two were immersed in conversation, not knowing that Jung-min was approaching.
“It’s taking longer than expected. Can’t you finish it faster?”
“These are lazy and the barrel is slow. Let’s push it some more.”
“It gets more difficult when there are more people who die because of pushing too hard.
The two seemed to be of a similar age, but listening to the exchanges seemed to have a clear upper-lower relationship.
‘It seems that the class itself is divided.’
Jung-min looked at the two and continued to overhear their conversation.
“Anyway, let’s finish it as quickly as possible. The boss? Haven’t you contacted us yet?”
“Not yet. It’s a [Sungjin], a large shelter, but it won’t be easy to destroy it.”
“Well, it’s not like that.”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Jeongmin narrowed his eyes and thought.
‘I said there seemed to be a small number of looters… but were these guys [Sungjin] aiming for the shelter? No, no matter how many looters gathered, can they aim for the large shelter?’
Jimin continued to look around.
I saw large tents pitched on one side of the construction site.
‘I think the workers use it…’
Looking inside the tent, I saw a few small clothes along with the stench.
Jung-min, who was inspecting the tents one by one, frowned when he saw the inside of the large tent located at the innermost part.
There were many women gathered in the tent.
All wearing only their underwear, the women stretched out with their eyes as if they had lost the will to live.
While Jung-min was confirming that the women were non-awakened with his emotional eyes, two men and women entered the tent.
The man said as he pushed the woman he had brought with him in his underwear into the group of other women.
“Uhhhhh’)”s””
The man smirked at the women and went out of the tent, and the women stared at him as if he was going to die.
Jung-Min’s stomach, knowing roughly what the situation was, felt like it was bubbling.
I wanted to kill and overthrow all the looters right away, but I couldn’t guarantee the safety of the non-Awakened ones scattered everywhere.
Jungmin took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
‘I’ve roughly seen everything… Let’s go out.’
Jimin walked slowly outside.
As Leah approached the waiting area, Leah’s insight skill was activated and Jung-min’s stealth skill was canceled.
Leah, who had been sitting and waiting, got up and greeted Jung-min.
“Are you here? You came earlier than expected?”
“Yes. When I went down, it wasn’t as wide as I thought. And there weren’t many looters.”
Jung-min went down and told Leah what he had heard.
Leah heard Jeongmin’s words.
“Among the non-awakened, men are slaves and women are sex slaves… It’s the same everywhere.”
Looking at Leah who seemed to be pathetic, Jung-min shook his head and said.
“I wanted to overthrow them all on the spot, but I held back. They’re marauders, they’re the ones who would take hostages nearby non-Awakened ones if they were in danger.”
“You’ve been patient. Let’s wait and go in at dawn.
If it’s late, I think I’ll gather all the non-awakened saints and go to sleep. If we just keep fighting there, we will be able to minimize the damage.”
Hearing Leah’s words, Jungmin nodded.
“Since the main force is out to hit the [Sungjin] shelter, I don’t think it will be difficult to fight. After solving the problem here quickly, I’ll have to go to the [Sungjin] shelter. I’ll have to wipe out the main force to say we’ve solved it properly.”
“How big is the main force so that they can go to the shelter?
“I’m curious about that too. I’ll try to get some information after keeping one suitable guy alive.”
After the conversation, Jung-min and Leah waited until night after settling down in a suitable place.
As we talked about this and that, the dark night quickly came.
Leah said, watching the bonfire burning between the two of them sitting on the floor.
“It’s amazing. Not long ago, I never thought that I would come to a planet in another dimension and be like this.”
Jeongmin also said while looking at the campfire.
“Me too. I never dreamed that I would be swept up in such a big thing and go in and out of another dimension. , Although [Trial of the Gods] itself is unusual.”
“Jungmin-ssi, if you go to Kirsian and get rid of [Trial of the Gods], what do you want to do after that?”
“Well, I can’t predict exactly what will happen when [Trial of the Gods] ends. We don’t know if all of our skills and stats will disappear, or if [Trial of the Gods] will disappear with all of them intact. Leah Mr.?”
“I want to live a normal life.”
“Normal?”
Leah said as she picked up small pebbles from the floor and tossed them one by one into the bonfire.
“Yes, it’s normal. I haven’t had a normal life since I was 15. I just don’t care about monsters, and I don’t care about other enemies targeting me. No need to work hard. What to eat today, what to do tomorrow, who to meet. I want to spend my daily life where I can worry about these ordinary things.”
Hearing Leah’s words, Jung-min felt his heart ache.
‘I’m 15 years old.. Back then, I grumbled and complained about going to school and studying..’
Jung-min looked at Leah with sad eyes and said.
“For sure. You will be able to return to a normal life. Leah is working so hard… I will help too.”
Leah looked at Jung Man with warm eyes, nodded slowly, and waved her hand to put out the bonfire.
“I wake up soon. It’s late at night, so most of them must have fallen asleep.”
Watching Leah wake up, Jung-min also got up from his seat.
Leah said to Jung-min.
“Could you tell me your plan?”
“Yes, I’ll use ‘stealth’ to get inside. I’ll go around the tents and have the sleeping non-awakened prepare to escape. I think you’ll have to wait about 20 minutes after I go in and then come in through the entrance. When they rush to stop it, I’ll protect the non-awakened ones from the inside and take down the remaining marauders.”
Hearing Jungmin’s words, Leah nodded.
“Then I’ll go in first. Please wait while relaxing at least moderately.”
Seeing Leah nodding her head, Jung-min hid herself with the ‘stealth’ skill and then moved towards Exit 3 of Seongsan Station alone.
There were no more workers at the entrance, which was under construction.
Instead, there were only two marauders perched on the floor, seemingly on guard, flirting with each other.
Jung-min passed slowly between them, entered through the gap in the door that had not yet been completed, and continued down the stairs.
The appearance of the quiet subway station, where all the noise of the construction that was so loud, disappeared, gave a pretty dreary feeling.
Looking inside the ticket counter, I saw several looters lying down and sleeping.
Jung-min passed them and went down the stairs again.
When I came during the day, I saw small tents that were invisible, spread irregularly here and there.
‘Are these tents where looters sleep? It looks like they haven’t prepared a place to sleep yet.’
Jung-min avoided the small tents and walked towards the large tent where the non-awakened were gathered.
Around the large tent, looters could be seen standing vigil watching the non-Awakened.
Inside the small tent, there were even sounds of breathing, loud snoring, and gasping for breath.
‘yes? gasping sound?’
Jung-min stopped walking and walked in search of the source of the sound.
I could see a small tent in the corner shaking slightly.
As Jung-min walked slowly toward the swaying tent, he heard shouts from another tent right next to him.
“Hey you crazy bastard! Let’s get some sleep! We’ll do it tomorrow. Tomorrow!”
The looters who stood watch around the large tent giggled at the shouts that erupted from within.
Then, from inside the tent where gasping sounds could be heard, a man’s breathless voice was heard.
“Heh, heh.. Tomorrow? Of course, tomorrow too, heck.. Should I do it? It’s heaven. heheheug heck… heck…”
Hearing the man’s voice from inside, Jung-min’s face twisted.
Nausea came from the tent of the man who had shouted, and no other reaction was heard, as if he had decided to turn his nerves off.
Jung-min slowly approached the entrance of the tent.
profit
When I unzipped the zipper that opened the tent door slowly, I could see the scene inside.
A man moving his naked lower body while breathing heavily.
He was focused on moving his body, not even knowing that the entrance to the tent was open.
And,
A woman lying beneath it staring at the ceiling of the tent with unfocused eyes.
She must have seen the tent door open, but the woman was just staring at the ceiling, completely unconcerned.
Jung-min slowly approached the man with eyes glistening with life.
