Starting a Reversal in Life From the Time of Release

43 – First, Let’s Stay Alive (4)

As I thought about how to find the culprit who attacked Bora, I turned on my phone.

I wondered if any internet articles or news related to the incident would appear.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the internet and news remained silent.

Was there nothing to focus on?

Or was it some kind of media control?

I had no idea what to do.

I was just glad that Nam Bora didn’t have the label of a murderer.

Once you have a target on your back, things only get more complicated.

“If I go out, the kids will follow me again.”

Nam Bora sighed, rubbing the bandage wrapped around her arm.

It was reasonable to worry about how many more awakened ones would follow her.

“That’s possible.”

“Then should we keep doing this?”

“Why? We can just stay hidden in the Nokyang headquarters, or travel in teams.”

The reason for using only awakened ones or former hunters who work behind the scenes was so that we wouldn’t be discovered.

And the backline personnel were generally less skilled or powerful than the front line.

It was much easier than struggling to clean the gates in Yangji.

So traveling in teams made it easier to deal with, and it was inconvenient for the opponent to touch us.

“Are we just stalling for time like this?”

Nam Bora seemed annoyed by my suggestion.

“Why? Is it bad?”

“Of course it’s bad. The opponent will hide really well if we do that.”

“If you don’t like it, then go out and catch them yourself.”

When we were first attacked, things were so chaotic and survival was our priority, there was no time to strategize.

Nam Bora was alone back then.

But it wasn’t the case now, so it felt like something worth trying.

Perhaps Mari had the same thought, as she nodded quietly.

“Just me alone? I’m not confident…”

Nam Bora bowed her head, feeling unsure about strategizing.

She was easily frustrated when it came to tasks that required special perseverance, as she was someone who quickly got worked up.

She had made the opponent a mop on more than one occasion trying to strategize.

“I will do it. After all, I’m involved too.”

“Really?!”

As soon as I said that I would take charge, Nam Bora lifted her head and asked.

Her gesture seemed genuinely delighted at the thought of me helping her.

I said I would lend her a hand, and it seemed to cheer her up.

“Okay. I’ll do it.”

“Hey, Sihu. How about calling those kids and teaching them together?”

Mari, who was quietly listening to the conversation, smiled and said a word.

Those kids must be Seha-nim and Iyeoroom-nim.

As I don’t see any harm in having more people, I willingly agreed.

“What kids? Do you know anyone…? Anyone?”

Nam Bora hastily changed from informal speech to formal speech before she could use banmal.

She was staring at Mari with a somewhat stunned expression.

“Seha-nim, Iyeoroom-nim. Weren’t they in the same organization as you?”

“Yes.”

Nam Bora responded without a seizure.

It was such a strange sight that I unconsciously blinked.

It’s really something to see Nam Bora bowing down to someone she considers beneath her…

I cleared my throat and straightened my neck before opening my mouth.

“So let’s decide how we’re going to move from now on. First of all…”

It would take too long to wait for news from the Nokyang Information Team.

And it’s an uncertain task that might succeed or fail.

So as soon as Nam Bora finishes getting ready, I decided to go out.

It seemed that the two of them had the same idea as they quietly listened to my voice.

“Did you expect Nam Bora to offer help? I never knew she would step up.”

I wondered if I would receive a message late at night, and it turned out to be true.

Iyeoroom sighed in disappointment and stared down.

“In the end, it’s helping Nam Bora. Are you helping her because she’s pretty, Sihu-nim?”

Seha, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with me, smirked and looked around.

With enhanced vision, I could clearly see the faces of the people walking on the alley.

“Well, it’s not just that… Tsk!”

I know that Yoo Sihu is helpless.

Even those who were from Nokyang and Yoo Sihu himself are at risk of being targeted by the Nokyang Nam Bora.

Even if it’s not now, there may be unknown things later.

This summer, with her tongue running along her lips, she gripped a cold knife against her thigh.

“Is that it coming?”

“Where?”

“There. Don’t you see?”

Seo Ha-neul shifted her gaze in the direction pointed by This Summer and made a surprised sound.

Their footsteps and presence.

Even the faintly perceived feeling.

These were the people who emitted the atmosphere unique to the awakened ones who lived behind them.

They were heading towards the motel where Nam Bo-ra was staying.

“I see it.”

“They’re coming after only two hours of exposure… They’re really stubborn bastards. Why did Hunter from that side say he won’t accept?”

This Summer sighed, thinking of Nam Bo-ra, who had declined support from No-kyang.

Even if you had to move stealthily when contacting No-kyang, it didn’t have to be like this now.

It was ridiculous that they told her to quietly watch until the end.

Maybe it was because of pride.

Or maybe there was another reason…

“Ah, damn it.”

It’s not like I’m their employee.

This Summer sighed irritably and shook her head.

To get rid of unnecessary thoughts and focus on what lies ahead.

“Now what do we do? Capture them?”

“We already agreed to divide it in half. We have to handle it ourselves.”

“First, let’s just watch, right?”

“That’s right.”

Seo Ha-neul nodded at that right away.

This Summer’s pupils, watching the group entering the motel, flickered with a determined light.

One. Two. More and more awakened ones lifted their feet into the motel.

The motel complied quietly, having already received instructions, and any other potential customers were gathered in one room.

They were the ones who trembled but also felt pleased as they received their rewards.

“Hey… Haven’t you pushed in too much?”

When the people entered the motel, they had turned twenty.

This summer had raised concerns in their bodies.

Worry was written all over their faces.

Seo Haneul also seemed to find it awkward that he had let it go too far.

“Oh… should I go out now?”

“Of course, you think we should just hand it over to the other side and let them swear at us?”

Lee Yeoreum shivered, thinking about the disdainful glances from Yoo Sihu and Mari.

Even now, the two of them were handling the matter on their own.

Making a mistake in this situation would be a disaster.

That’s what she thought.

“Fortunately, it looks like there are still more people to come.”

From the perspective of being pursued, it was unfortunate, but from the perspective of the two women who needed to be caught, it was fortunate.

That’s why Seo Haneul breathed a sigh of relief and comforted himself.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

As Lee Yeoreum stepped over the railing and jumped first, Seo Haneul followed behind.

Right below the spot where they jumped, there were people grouped together inconspicuously.

Is it right to keep holding them back outside?

That was the first thought that came to mind when they saw the people who had come to the motel room.

They anticipated that there would still be some strength left, and it seemed that there would be as many people coming to kill Nam Bora as the number of people they had killed.

However, they couldn’t help but think that this was a bit too much.

Even if Nam Bora and Mari only managed to subdue awakened individuals with broken arms and legs right now, they were over twenty.

“Ah…!”

“Save me… Please, save me…!”

Not only the room but also the corridors were filled with corpses, and blood was splattered everywhere, a horrifying sight.

It felt like a scene from a movie, as if people were fighting over scarce food at the end of the century.

“What happened here?”

“No.”

When I asked, Nam Bora, who had been rummaging through a dead man’s pocket in the corner of the room, raised her head.

Nam Bora was looking at her phone after suppressing the awakeners with us, but there was still no progress.

Every one of these guys could have contacted the person who ordered Nam Bora’s death.

The fact that no one was there meant that the person giving the orders was hiding and not coming out… Or they deleted the records.

It was one of the two.

Nana Mari also searched through the phones of the people scattered in the hallway, checking the call logs.

Of course, the messenger records were included as well.

There were some people who had phone locks, but there was nothing they could do in the face of torture.

“He, heh…”

Some of them were so startled by the vibration that their tongues were sticking out.

And on top of that, their faces were half-turned with an ecstatic expression…

“Umm…!”

I deliberately turned away from the men with peculiar faces and looked at the phone screen. This phone was also useless.

One director. A broker. These were the only pieces of information I had obtained so far.

It was fortunate that I knew who the humans were behind the scenes, even if I couldn’t see their faces.

Ooooong. As I was putting a fallen sansevieria into a corner, my pocket vibrated.

When I took out my phone, Seo Haneul’s name was displayed on the screen.

“Yes. What’s the matter?”

[Is it a good time to talk right now?]

“Yes. It’s fine. Go ahead and speak.”

When I answered the call, Seo Haneul’s voice came through.

It was strangely breathless.

So I wondered what was going on, and…

[The culprit… I think I caught the person who sent someone to kill Nam Bora. His name is Han Jinho…]

“Really?”

Han Jinho. A man named Han.

He definitely seemed to be the same person as the director Han.

“Where are you right now?”

[A kilometer away from the motel. I secretly followed him and caught him. So, I contacted the association to take care of the awakeners scattered outside… Did we do something wrong?]

“You didn’t do anything wrong. You did very well.”

” …Thank goodness. “

As I excitedly spoke, Seo Haneul let out a long sigh.

I gestured for Mari and Nambora to stand up, then slowly rose to my feet.

There was no reason for us to linger in the motel any longer.

” Please tell us the exact location. We’ll head over there right away. “
