Only I Have Two Towers Episode 112
Joining Tables
“General Commander. General Commander.”
Kancheo whispered to him.
“Yeah. Behind us, right?”
“That’s right.”
Kancheo’s eyes sparkled.
The General Commander’s senses were getting sharper by the day.
Now he figured things out on his own without needing to be told.
“Could you go take a look?”
“Understood. Yodel Ranger Kancheo, going on reconnaissance.”
Kancheo whispered ticklishly and ran down the corridor with quick steps.
He glanced back slightly.
Several people’s gazes focused in this direction.
He hadn’t been able to sense things like this before.
As his level and stats increased, his ability to detect presences had improved as well.
Kancheo, who had briefly disappeared, returned.
“Reconnaissance report. Six people, I couldn’t see with my eyes because they’re hidden at their waists, but I smell gunpowder. Not bombs, seems like guns.”
Jinhyeok frowned.
Europe was more lenient about gun ownership compared to Korea or Japan, but Britain was an exception.
He’d heard it was very strictly restricted, yet guns right after arriving.
“Should I blow them away?”
“No. Let’s wait a bit. Instead, Kancheo, keep watch on those people. If you see anything suspicious, just blow them away. But not too loudly.”
“Understood. I’ll put Yodel special mini-mini bombs in their mouths or ears and just blow their heads off.”
It was somewhat brutal talk, but he gave a thumbs up for now.
It seemed like it wouldn’t affect the train or other passengers, so okay.
“I’ll hold on and go down. My body is heavy.”
It hadn’t been long since he finished his binge eating.
Kancheo struggled down to the ground and ran toward the back again.
He tapped his fingers rhythmically.
‘Got on the wrong train.’
At first he thought Hosaka or the Japanese Government had followed them.
But looking at the signs, it didn’t seem like that.
Their gazes were all directed toward the girl’s group.
Step.
One of the six lined up moved forward.
Kancheo, in stealth mode, looked at Jinhyeok.
Asking for permission to blow him away.
He shook his head for now and observed the approaching man.
Meanwhile, the man approaching Jinhyeok lowered his voice.
“Target confirmed. Two security personnel. Awaiting instructions.”
# Orders from above are to cause as little disturbance as possible.
“Is firearm use possible?”
# Permitted if quiet disposal is not possible.
“Confirmed.”
The man who had gotten somewhat close to the girl put his hand in his pocket.
Killing one little kid.
There was no need to use a gun.
A thin ballpoint pen emerged from his hand.
Containing desert scorpion venom, even a touch would cause fatal convulsions.
Without an antidote, blood would coagulate and death was certain within a minute.
‘I bear no grudge. I’ll send you off as painlessly as possible.’
Pretending to pass by, he extended the pen toward the girl’s nape.
There was a security guard in between, but it didn’t matter.
It would be over before anyone could notice anything.
At that moment, someone suddenly intervened in the corridor.
Stab.
The pen tip that should have gone toward the girl stabbed the arm of the one who intervened.
The man passed by his position due to the unexpected variable.
“I accidentally stabbed the man who suddenly intervened. There will be a commotion soon. I repeat. Prepare for the commotion.”
The man gritted his teeth and moved his hand to his pistol.
Since he’d already stabbed, convulsions would start soon.
Quiet disposal had failed.
But why was it?
Even though enough time had passed for the poison to spread, the stabbed person hadn’t collapsed.
“!?”
Instead of convulsing, he turned his head and stared at the man with his hand on the pistol.
# What’s going on? Are you sure you stabbed him?
Just as the man was about to answer.
“Hey.”
A voice came from behind.
The moment he reflexively turned his head, a hand reached out and grabbed the man.
Dark, who had covered the man’s mouth, showed a bitter smile.
‘Wh-what kind of strength…!’
He struggled to break free, but it was useless.
Incredible strength squeezed his mouth and throat.
He tried breaking joints as trained, but the arm didn’t budge.
“Stop flailing around.”
Dark opened the door to the train connection.
“Farewell.”
“Mmph!!”
Dark gave a quiet farewell and threw the man away.
“How dare you try something like this.”
Dark threw away the pen and deactivated his manifestation.
And in the corridor where the girl sat.
‘Ouch.’
Jinhyeok rubbed his arm where the pen had stabbed.
[Desert Scorpion venom seeps into your body! This is lethal poison that hardens the target’s blood and leads to death!]
[All Status Abnormality Resistance SSS+ trait activates! You are immune to Desert Scorpion venom!]
‘They carry scary stuff.’
After patting his arm a few times, he stood up.
Perhaps because he’d suddenly approached, three pairs of eyes were focused on him.
The girl sitting inside looked at him with eyes full of puzzlement, while the man and woman looked at Jinhyeok with eyes full of wariness.
“Hello. I’m traveling from Korea. I’m feeling lonely sitting alone, so could I sit with you?”
Jinhyeok pointed to an empty seat.
Gulp.
He spoke casually, but sweat ran down his back.
It was clearly meddling.
Even he thought so, but what could he do.
If he hadn’t known, it would be different, but now that he knew, he couldn’t just pretend not to know and leave it alone.
“I’m sorry, but we’re just among ourselves…”
“Please sit down.”
The woman who had been refusing stopped speaking.
The green-eyed girl was offering Jinhyeok a seat.
Unlike the man who showed no particular reaction, the woman sitting next to Jinhyeok openly displayed her discomfort.
“I’m Yoo Jin-hyeok. Thank you for letting me sit with you.”
“Don’t mention it. I’m Sofia.”
Sofia smiled brightly and extended her hand.
He could feel someone flinching beside him, but he pretended not to notice and took her hand.
‘Something incredible.’
She appeared to be around first or second year of high school, but her atmosphere was completely different from Yoo Jin-hee, who was the same age.
Should he call it elegance or nobility?
In any case, it was an uncommon aura.
“This is Older Sister Olivia. And Charles.”
Sofia introduced the two people’s names for them.
Olivia, who had no intention of introducing herself, reluctantly nodded her head.
Charles surprisingly bowed with a formal posture.
“I’m Charles. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Perhaps pleased with the atmosphere that had relaxed more than before.
Sofia smiled.
“Korea is quite far away – did you come traveling alone?”
“Yes. I wanted to go to Snowdonia Park.”
“I’m envious. Solo travel is my dream too.”
While Sofia and Jinhyeok were having various conversations.
Olivia sent a look to Charles.
Is this really okay?
Charles lightly nodded his head.
It wasn’t just because of that incredibly innocent-looking face.
Charles observed Jinhyeok with narrowed eyes.
‘Is it a coincidence?’
Currently, one of Charles’s hands was positioned at his waist.
The presence of an enemy who had been approaching menacingly from behind.
He had been about to draw his weapon just as they arrived.
Because of Jinhyeok’s sudden intervention, the enemy had simply passed by.
‘It must be a coincidence.’
A youthful face that looked like he had just turned twenty.
It would be a stretch to think he had knowingly intervened.
Charles sent a light signal to Olivia.
Don’t let your guard down.
The enemy had passed by, but he too kept his hand at his waist.
They wouldn’t retreat after failing once.
They would definitely come back.
And, as this prediction suggested, the unidentified group had not retreated.
However, if there was something Charles hadn’t anticipated.
Crack! Crunch!
It was that everyone except one had already stopped breathing.
Inside the Restroom at the Midpoint.
A man whose face had turned deathly pale barely managed to speak.
“Wh-who are you?! Who sent you!”
Before his violently shaking eyes.
There stood Dark with his white hair swept back coolly.
A cold-blooded being who showed not even the slightest change in expression despite having just snapped someone’s neck.
“Hmm? Well. Where should I say I came from.”
Dark shrugged his shoulders.
It was ambiguous whether he should point to where his master was or point to the sky.
Then.
Thunk.
A thick dagger passed through his ribs and pierced into his lung.
“You fool! To let your guard down with an enemy right in front of you!”
The man with a triumphant smile twisted the knife he gripped.
Blood burst from Dark’s mouth with a gurgle.
And how many seconds had passed?
A question mark appeared on the man’s face.
The sword had accurately pierced his lung.
Normally, he should have collapsed in terrible pain.
The human before him showed no such signs at all.
“Oh. Nice skill. Are you trained?”
“!?”
Dark was actually smiling and asking questions instead of having his face contorted in pain.
The moment he instinctively tried to back away, a hand flew toward him.
The hand that gripped the man’s face gradually applied more force.
“Ughhhhh…!”
Whether he was in pain or not, Dark wore a cold smile.
“I wouldn’t have gone this far. If you hadn’t laid hands on our master’s body.”
He wasn’t given the leisure to ask who the master was.
With a grotesque bursting sound, the man’s body went limp.
“Know your place, friends.”
Dark casually spoke as he locked the door and released his manifestation.
This restroom was out of order for today.
Sofia and Jinhyeok continued their conversation, getting along well.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Charles remained tense.
The enemy who had already revealed themselves once.
Since their side was clearly exposed, an attack could come from anywhere at any time.
Charles breathed quietly and loosened his stiffened hand.
‘How long do they plan to make us wait?’
Perhaps this waiting itself was the enemy’s tactic.
A scheme to drain their energy by making them wait in tension.
‘Damn, why are these bastards so slow?’
Olivia also frowned.
If they were going to come anyway, she wished they’d come quickly.
That way she could deal with them quickly and get some rest.
Then.
“You can relax.”
A voice was heard.
Charles and Olivia simultaneously looked at Jinhyeok.
Those words hadn’t been directed at Sofia.
“What did you say?”
When Olivia asked back, Jinhyeok smiled.
“You don’t need to be tense. You won’t be attacked.”
“!!!”
Startled, Olivia stepped between Sofia and Jinhyeok.
Olivia readied herself to draw her weapon at any moment.
“You don’t need to be on guard.”
Jinhyeok casually extended his forearm.
“I took the attack aimed at Sofia earlier on her behalf. It was some desert scorpion poison or something like that.”
“Nonsense. If you’d been hit by that, you’d already be dead.”
“Not me. I have a special constitution.”
“What are you doing…?”
Charles raised his hand.
“Sit down, Olivia. Drawing attention isn’t good.”
“But Captain…!”
“Just sit.”
Olivia reluctantly sat down.
Charles exhaled quietly.
‘It wasn’t a coincidence after all.’
As he belatedly realized this, Jinhyeok spoke up.
“Why are you being chased?”
