Chapter 32 (1/2)
Park Jin Hyuk held his sniper rifle and walked toward the waterfront.
It was impossible to go into the forest and create an ambush. They could also be attacked if a cannibal were alive. Cha Jun Sung thought the same.
In a position where they were on a quiet chase, they could not take that kind of risk.
Seuseuk.
The two who had been walking as though running, lowered their bodies. They had found Campbell.
“Shoot?”
“We can’t shoot without talking to him. We need to be sure he’s the killer.”
The context pointed to Campbell, but what if it wasn’t him? Blindly shooting him was not something someone in their right mind could do.
“I’m going. You stay here and aim. Pull the trigger if I send the signal.”
“Be careful.”
Cha Jun Sung approached Campbell. He left some distance between them and made his presence known. If his senses had been amplified with body modification, he would already know anyway.
“Campbell.”
“Huh?”
Campbell reacted to the voice and turned around. His shaking eyes – Cha Jun Sung did not miss this change like an eagle watching its prey.
“Mister Cha? You hadn’t gone back?”
“Carlyle.”
“Carlyle?”
“He died. I’m assuming you won’t give the excuse that a cannibal killed him?”
“I want to say, ‘I didn’t kill him!’ but the situation won’t let me. That’s right. I took more care in killing him, but I guess I got caught.”
Campbell put on an expression of discomfort. This was a scenario he had not expected.
He had procrastinated thinking that Cha Jun Sung had already gone back. He had given his back to him while he had peace of mind. It was surprising, but he was unfazed.
“Are points the goal?”
“About half?”
“What is the other half?”
“Points are the main reason, but killing is also fun.”
Kik kik!
His mask was coming off.
