I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 055
War Against Crime (4)
Baek Jin-woo left everything to Hunkyo.
Our omnipotent Hunkyo.
It was truly convenient.
I think about it every time, but he’s so capable that it doesn’t make sense he was E-grade in the past.
– Everyone come out.
Hunkyo opened all the doors of the solitary confinement cells.
Originally he doesn’t speak in front of people, but I allowed him to do so.
From Baek Jin-woo’s perspective, those people weren’t human.
They were clear ‘enemies’ and ‘targets for elimination’ who had threatened his family’s lives.
“Kkeup!”
“Kkeuheuup!”
Among the players screaming while gagged, Oh Ji-myeong and Park Ho-seop were also there.
‘Those guys really…’
Baek Jin-woo shook his head from side to side.
Bad karma must be unavoidable bad karma.
– Ramba.
– Yes!
– Remove their blindfolds and gags.
– Eh? Why do I have to do that?
– …?
When Hunkyo narrowed his eyes and stared,
– Ah, I got it! I understand! I’ll remove them! But you have to give me 1 hour rest from training tomorrow, okay?
Rip, riip!
Ramba, crushed by that charisma, flew around tearing off the blindfolds.
“Kkeuk!”
“…You bastards. Just kill me instead!”
Among the freed gangsters, there were some who threw tantrums.
“Please, please spare me!”
“I’ll tell you everything you want!”
There were also those who begged while banging their heads on the floor.
Also,
“Flame Bird!”
There was someone who immediately summoned their summoned creature.
But such things were meaningless.
Slash!
The B-grade Flame Bird was cut down by Hunkyo’s sword as soon as it was summoned.
At the same time,
– I was going to explain first, but there’s no need for that now. Watch carefully. From now on, anyone who brings out a summoned creature, opens their mouth carelessly, or attempts suicide will end up like this.
Thump!
He lightly flicked his hand and pressed the player’s pressure point.
And then,
“Keu, keuaaaaaaaak!”
The gangster writhed like a worm with his hands bound.
It must have been incredibly painful – his eyes bulged out like a snail’s and water streamed from his eyes, nose, and mouth.
He even wet himself with yellow urine.
“…!”
“…!”
All the gangsters who had been secretly planning to summon their creatures froze.
It didn’t just look painful – he was truly writhing as if he might die.
“Keuaaaak! Keuak! Stop! Please stop!”
– This is the Bone-Splitting Muscle-Twisting technique. It twists the muscles and bones, and it’s quite painful. I recommend trying it once if you’re curious.
In contrast, Hunkyo’s voice was calm.
– The Bone-Splitting Muscle-Twisting will proceed for exactly 1 minute per mistake. Be warned that if you receive it for more than 5 minutes, you might lose your mind or become a vegetable forever.
It was truly terrifying words.
What kind of pain could cause such a reaction?
One minute passed amid the tremendous screams that filled the prison.
Thump!
Hunkyo released the pressure point.
“Keuhak, keuhaak, heukheueup…!”
The player with his cheek pressed to the floor drooled and gasped for breath.
Naturally, the gang members became silent as mutes who had eaten honey.
– Good.
Hunkyo nodded as if satisfied.
The players felt like they were dying.
A summoned creature was speaking, but they weren’t curious about it at all because they were so scared.
They might die. Was that really important?
– From now on, I’ll give each person a chance. The information you need to tell is simple. The location of boss Jo Ji-hak and the gang executives. And information about ordinary gang members. If you don’t have relevant information or have nothing to say?
Thump!
Hunkyo pressed the pressure points of two players.
It was Oh Ji-myeong and Park Ho-seop.
“Keu, keuaaaaaaaak!”
“Damn it! Why us toooooo!”
The two rankers writhed simultaneously like burning insects.
– This is what will happen.
Hunkyo had no particular reason for torturing them.
They weren’t originally part of the gang, so there was no information to extract.
It was a kind of crime of being detestable.
He hadn’t liked the way they looked at his lord since last time.
“Keuaaaaaaaaak!”
Watching those screaming, the gang members’ eyes gradually filled with terror.
It was scary even without experiencing it, and those who had experienced it were even more scared.
– Now, you first. Begin.
Hunkyo’s information extraction began.
Hunkyo’s torture method was excellent.
What do you mean 1 hour?
In just 30 minutes, they spilled all the information and were panting.
What loyalty could there be among criminals?
With just one Bone-Splitting Muscle-Twisting, they were ready to confess even Jo Ji-hak’s perverted hobbies.
They even desperately searched their minds to see if there was anything else to confess.
– Disappointing.
Disappointed by their lack of will, Hunkyo applied the Bone-Splitting Muscle-Twisting technique to all of them once.
Two minutes each.
The space was instantly filled with screams.
– My lord.
“Yes.”
Baek Jin-woo didn’t look away.
He took in the sight of all their suffering with his eyes.
It was a kind of adaptation process.
The world has changed, and this is something that can continue to happen in the future.
‘I have to face reality.’
If you avoid it out of fear?
You’ll just get beaten down in this current world.
– I think we can work based on this information.
Pokryong carefully wrote down the information that Hunkyo had obtained.
“Okay.”
Baek Jin-woo nodded his head.
The promise with Park Chang-seok was for 1 hour.
Now it was time to put each of them back in solitary confinement and leave.
– Ramba.
– What now!
– What are you doing? You need to tie them up again.
– Hmph!
Ramba was grumbling, but what could she do.
The other summoned creatures each had their roles.
She had to do this kind of menial work.
Park Du-pal was a gang member.
Not an executive, but a regular gang member, and a low-ranking one at that.
Since the gang operated in a cell structure, the information he knew was quite limited.
‘Shit.’
Currently, he was trembling with anxiety while biting his thumbnail.
It was because Baek Jin-woo had declared war on crime and told them to surrender within a day.
‘Honestly, someone like me can’t even call myself a proper gang member.’
What had he done?
He had only intimidated about two regular players and extorted money from them.
He had never killed anyone, and he didn’t have that kind of personality either.
‘Ah, whatever.’
So he decided.
Not to surrender.
‘Honestly, would they really catch even the low-ranking members? They’ll probably just catch Jo Ji-hak and then let it slide somehow.’
The next day.
Park Du-pal came to bitterly regret yesterday’s decision.
He opened his front door and was about to go outside.
“Park Du-pal?”
Someone dropped down from the sky with a thud and spoke.
“You didn’t surrender?”
“Wh-what!”
Startled, Park Du-pal looked at that someone and was even more shocked.
‘B-Baek Jin-woo?’
How did Player Baek Jin-woo fly all the way here and recognize him!
Park Du-pal’s body froze solid with his mouth hanging open.
“I don’t have time, so I’ll be brief. Make sure to surrender by tomorrow. Tomorrow it’s 2 minutes. By the way, it’ll increase by 1 minute each day.”
“…What?”
What did that mean?
Tomorrow is 2 minutes?
Then today is?
He was bewildered, but Baek Jin-woo was already flying away to another place on his wyvern.
But well.
It was fine.
He would soon understand what those words meant.
Hunkyo’s finger strike that flew down from the sky struck Park Du-pal’s pressure point with a thud!
Hunkyo, who had already used the Bone-Breaking Muscle-Severing technique hundreds of times, had already improved his proficiency.
Now he could even control it so that the pressure point would naturally release after exactly 1 minute.
“Wh-what are you doing right now… Gah, gaaaaaahhhhh!”
Park Du-pal writhed in pain he had never experienced in his entire life.
Dignity and everything else.
He screamed and rolled around.
Even just a fracture would be tearfully painful, but how painful would it be when bones twist around and muscles move on their own?
The pain lasted exactly 1 minute.
Only then did Park Du-pal understand the true meaning of what Baek Jin-woo had said.
‘He’s telling me to surrender on my own.’
If he didn’t surrender today?
Tomorrow would be 2 minutes, and the day after would be 3 minutes.
‘Crazy.’
Park Du-pal shook his head.
This wasn’t right.
Just 1 minute made him want to die, and he was supposed to endure this for 2 minutes?
‘Let’s surrender.’
The charges?
‘I’ll confess everything!’
This was someone who even knew his identity as a low-ranking gang member.
He couldn’t even imagine what would happen if he lied in front of such tremendous intelligence gathering.
Park Du-pal hurriedly returned home, washed himself, and immediately headed to the police station.
South Korea was experiencing tremendous changes in a short time.
[Nationwide, Strange Phenomena Occurring!]
[Criminals Rushing to Police Stations, Is Baek Jin-woo That Frightening?]
[Criminal Mr. Kim, “Please, I’ll surrender. If I don’t surrender, I’ll die!” Caught trembling and crying.]
Angry Baek Jin-woo abandoned all his schedules.
He was so furious that he didn’t even do his Weekly Dungeon rounds.
He obtained information about criminals through torture and found out their addresses through cooperation with headquarters.
After that?
He went directly and screwed them over.
He tracked down and punished anyone with even the slightest history of gang membership.
In the case of executives?
He extracted new lists and updated the information.
└ Wow, Baek Jin-woo. He’s really ruthless, isn’t he?
└ I saw Baek Jin-woo in my neighborhood. He suddenly did something to some person and left, but that person was suffering terribly. I wondered what it was, but turns out that person was a gang member. He went straight to surrender? Chilling…
└ At this rate, won’t all the criminals really get caught?
└ His action power is insane?
└ For real, God Jin-woo; Even if I were in a gang, I’d be suffocating;
└ Lesson here. You can mess with him, but you should never mess with his family.
The rumors spread rapidly through online communities.
There were gang members who had been hit, but other gang members who hadn’t were starting to panic one by one.
And so, one by one.
The roots of crime were being pulled out.
And at that moment.
“…What should we do.”
At the promised abandoned building.
A shadowy figure spoke with a worried voice.
“The gang we’ve built up is crumbling in an instant.”
“…Right.”
Jo Ji-hak frowned.
He thought about summoning the executives, but most of them had already turned themselves in.
‘What the hell is he doing.’
How is he acquiring information and catching people this quickly?
Jo Ji-hak couldn’t understand it.
He had never felt this powerless against the state, the Headquarters, or even major guilds… What the hell is that bastard Baek Jin-woo!
“What about the executives?”
“Everyone who could gather is assembled and waiting. We need to make a choice now.”
“I suppose we do.”
Fight, or run.
Jo Ji-hak wasn’t a fool.
He knew better than anyone that their current forces were no match for Baek Jin-woo.
‘…Did I mess with him too rashly?’
No.
The result would have been the same anyway.
The more Baek Jin-woo established himself, the more boldly the Headquarters would have moved.
But if there was one thing he regretted.
‘Not going personally.’
He should have gone himself and kidnapped one of Baek Jin-woo’s close associates.
When things came to this, he should have at least bought time through threats…
“Ji-hak!”
That’s when it happened.
A commotion could be heard from below the abandoned building.
“T-this is terrible! Come down and see!”
What?
Jo Ji-hak hurriedly stuck his head outside and gasped.
Because.
He could see Player Baek Jin-woo dismounting from a wyvern down below.
Thud!
Baek Jin-woo, who had landed on the ground, looked around.
“So you’re all gathered here?”
Then he grinned.
“I’ll give you 10 seconds. Assemble in front of me. Anyone who doesn’t gets sentenced to 5 minutes.”
Simultaneously.
Whoooosh!
The area around the abandoned building began to be surrounded by crimson flames.
The famous Explosive Dragon Mage’s fire.
Looking at that sight, Jo Ji-hak thought to himself.
‘Fuck, are we screwed?’
