3 Episode 3 - At a Large Supermarket, Part II (2/2)
The wriggling that started in his body rose like a fountain at once. It passed through his chest, starting from his stomach, and shook off what was holding his heart and immediately rose up his throat and burst out of his mouth.
”Ahhhhhhh!” Just like that, a scream came out of his mouth, a cry that sounded similar to what the monster had just done a moment ago.
He could feel a weird power in his body, and a strange warmth, similar to that of coming out of the sauna. His eyes also changed. They were now tingling, with an odd haze around them.
”Kaaah?” It was at that moment that the monster stopped moving.
The expression of its eyes changed. They were not the eyes of a predator looking at its prey, but the eyes of a beast looking at a beast. As a beast was in front of the beast, the monster was wary now in front of Bang, and it focused all its attention on him.
It was at that moment that Kim Tae-hoon moved. He came in behind the monster who was wary at the threat in front of it. His presence was so faint.
'Huh?' Even Park, who was able to watch Kim approaching the monster, did not notice his appearance and existence until Kim wrapped its neck three times with the fishing line, using both hands behind the monster's back. In addition, Kim's skill at wrapping the monster's neck using fishing line was also very smooth.
It was by no means a lucky trick. It was a level of skill that could only be demonstrated by those who had practiced hundreds or thousands of times, and who had experienced at least a hundred real fights.
The fishing line went taut when Kim, who was wearing baseball gloves, heaved back.
”Ugh ugh ugh!” The monster began to scratch its neck reflexively, trying to cut away the binding on its neck. But the fishing line that was digging in was not easily scratched or cut off with its short nails.
Above all, Kim did not even give a little chance to the monster. He pulled the line, and with his right foot hit the back of its right knee, and the back of the hamstring.
The tree-like monster was forced to kneel down after the attack on the hamstring, and as soon as the monster put its knee on the floor, He pulled it back.
”Kuck!” The ceiling came into the eyes of the monster, which made a gagging sound.
”Do it!” Kim shouted, and the tingling with the haze around the eyes of Bang disappeared like snow.
”Yes!” Bang carried out Kim's order. He took something out of the bag on his back. It was engine oil! He opened the lid quickly and immediately put the snout of the engine oil into the monster's mouth.
At that moment, Kim loosened the fishing line that he was yanking back.
The monster, which was struggling to suck in more air to live, inhaled at that moment. ”Kuck!” A mouthful of engine oil!
”Kuck! Kuck! Kuck!” The engine oil was immediately sucked into its stomach and lungs.
”Kuck!” At that moment it felt a burst of disgust, burning heart, and instinctive sense of crisis. Of course, its instincts screamed at it to pull it out!
Kim's instincts also said, 'I'll never let you go.'
He pulled the line tight again so that the monster could not spit anything out. He was naturally faithful to his instincts, and the line was tight again, and it began to tremble as if its power to rebel had disappeared.
That's how time passed. One second piled up and became ten seconds, and when the time reached a minute, the light vanished from the monster's eyes, and there was no sign of any further movement.
”I think it's dead now.” Bang's hand, which was guarding the monster with a baseball bat, began to relax.
But even in his words, the tightness of the fishing line that was holding its neck was not eased.
”Big brother? Big brother? I think it's dead now…” Bang narrowed the distance with Kim as if he thought that Kim did not hear his words. Of course, the distance to the monster also narrowed. Bang sat with his butt on the floor, and the distance from the sagging monster was narrowed enough to touch one another when they reached out their arms.
”Kaaah!” It reached out with its hand and grabbed his neck as it screamed out its last word.
”Uhhhhh!” From his mouth, the sound similar to what the monster spit out a while ago came out.
Fortunately, that was it. The power of its grip on Bang's neck quickly drained away, and at some point, it was no longer able to threaten anything. Thirty seconds later, the tautness of the line that had been wrapped around its neck eased.
Kim, who was now free, said to Bang as he removed the monster, ”I judge whether it's dead or alive, not you.”
”Yes, yes!” Bang reflexively replied, rubbing his neck where it had grabbed him.
However, Kim's eyes were not directed toward Bang. He looked down at Park, who was shaking while sitting on the floor.
”You're the cleaner now. From now on, your role is a cleaner, dealing with what falls on the floor. If there's anything on the floor, it's your job to kill it until it dies.” Kim finished speaking and rose from his crouching.
Then he found an escalator heading to the second floor of the large supermarket...
