Only I Have Two Towers Episode 175

Sweet Proposal

A villa near Seobinggo Station where I arrived following Jin Yun-ho.

I parked Durham No. 1 in a secluded spot and surveyed the neighborhood.

There are quite a few CCTVs, but they’re all dead.

This guy’s abilities are no joke.

“This is the building.”

“Wait a moment. Let me look around a bit before we go.”

“Yes. It’s room 304.”

After confirming Jin Yun-ho had moved away, I called Kancheo.

“Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain Kancheo!”

Perhaps because Jin Yun-ho was nearby, Kancheo whispered close to my ear.

It tickles my ear.

Before I could say anything, Kancheo jumped down and started sniffing around.

“Captain. I smell blood.”

“What? Where?”

“It’s not the smell of flowing blood. It’s the scent of blood mixed with body odor.”

“You can smell that kind of thing?”

“Of course. I even caught the traitor Grandpa Toto by the tea fragrance on his body.”

He just went to take a break though.

Anyway, excellent work.

He’s not the Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain for nothing.

“It leads all the way to that house. And.”

Kancheo hopped up to the building’s rooftop.

Jinhyeok also kicked off the ground and went up.

“After coming out of the house, it continues straight over there.”

“Can you track it?”

“It’s faint, but no problem. Just trust me.”

“Good. Wait 30 seconds.”

I jumped down and slipped through the open window of room 304.

Just then, Jin Yun-ho and Yun Mi-ri were opening the front door and coming in, startled.

“Y-you arrived first.”

“Haha… Yes. Team Leader. I’m not certain, but there’s a small clue. I’ll go check it out first.”

Jin Yun-ho and Yun Mi-ri looked at each other’s faces.

It hadn’t even been 3 minutes since we arrived.

But a clue already?

“If you tell us the location, we’ll send a team right away.”

“I think I need to follow along to know for sure. I’ll send you navigation updates along the way.”

“We don’t know what might be there, so at least a hunter to accompany you…”

The worry disease was about to strike again.

Who would they assign as an escort for that person?

It would be like assigning a fox to protect a tiger’s safety.

Jin Yun-ho shook his head a couple times and continued.

“No. Then I’ll shamelessly ask for your help. I’ll keep following up.”

“Yes. I’ll contact you.”

After showing a smile, I jumped down.

Vroooom!

Durham No. 1’s engine started again before it had even cooled down.

Kancheo climbed up my body to my shoulder.

“Straight ahead!”

“You’ll get blown away if you stay there?”

“That would be troublesome.”

Kancheo came back down and stood between the dashboard and Jinhyeok.

“Ready! I’ll guide you!”

“Okay.”

I pulled the accelerator and quickly slid out of the alley.

It had begun.

A chase with the capable Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain.

Namsan Tower.

Kang Woo-jin got up.

His deliberation was over.

It was a shame to waste over 2 years of work, but what could he do?

Since his tail had been stepped on, he had to dispose of it.

He looked around at the humans hanging limply.

These were the first step in disposal.

There were many places he needed to visit from now on.

“Representative Kang Woo-jin! Listen to me! We’re still useful…”

Swish!

Another head disappeared.

People screaming and squeezing their eyes shut.

Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin tilted his head.

“Aren’t you scared? You haven’t screamed once since earlier.”

A woman biting her lips and glaring at Kang Woo-jin.

He hadn’t hung her up like the other pigs.

That woman had just been caught while stubbornly carrying out her beliefs.

“I’m sorry it came to this. If I knew we’d be discovered this quickly, I wouldn’t have bothered bringing you.”

HBS reporter Min Yu-jin took a breath and spoke.

“Then let me go. Since you realized it, even if belatedly.”

“You know I won’t do that.”

“I’ll pretend I saw nothing and heard nothing.”

“I know you won’t do that. You’re the type who absolutely does whatever you judge needs to be done. Honestly, I don’t dislike people like you. Because you’re capable.”

“Thanks for acknowledging that. Then since you’re going to kill me anyway, satisfy my curiosity. It’s the last time, so that much should be okay.”

“Pfft…”

Kang Woo-jin burst into laughter.

He knew she had guts, but he didn’t know it was to this extent.

He really thought it was a waste.

If she had been just a little stronger, she wouldn’t have been disposed of like this.

“Fine. Ask away. But not too long. Just one question. I don’t have much time.”

“What are you?”

Someone might say.

Isn’t that too vague a question for a reporter?

But nothing else came to mind besides this question.

Min Yu-jin looked at Kang Woo-jin.

After the awakening, incidents and accidents caused by Players had naturally increased a lot.

When she was kidnapped, she thought she had gotten caught up in one of those incidents, but she was wrong.

Those people tied up right now.

She knew all their faces.

From famous broadcasting station directors to high-ranking police officials and security company chairmen.

They were people who wielded considerable influence in South Korea.

And the man in front of her, Kang Woo-jin, treated them like chess pieces.

No, even chess pieces aren’t handled that roughly.

Bugs that could be stepped on and killed at any moment without it being strange.

To Kang Woo-jin, those people were exactly that level of existence.

“Are you really a Player? I’ve been around this scene for quite a while, you know. But I’ve never heard the name Kang Woo-jin before.”

The power and abilities Kang Woo-jin had occasionally displayed were at least 80th Floor level.

At that level, he’d be a ranker, even if a lower-tier one.

It was too unnatural to have never seen his face or heard his name before.

Seeing how he manipulated those in power, it was hard to view him as a reclusive master who had thoroughly hidden his identity.

“Player. That’s what you call the climbers of the Tower of Despair, right?”

“You sound like you’re not a Player.”

“How sad.”

Kang Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders and drew a bitter smile.

“To think you’d mistake me for such an inferior existence.”

Kang Woo-jin approached a couple steps and bent down.

“Those beings called Players, what were they like before the Tower appeared?”

“They weren’t Players.”

“Right. They had no power, no abilities. They should break when hit by cars, be devoured when meeting wild beasts, and be swept away when encountering disasters. But I’m different.”

Kang Woo-jin bared his teeth.

“I was originally a predator. Unlike you people who are nothing without the Tower.”

“If originally, then since when?”

“Since very, very long ago. Before your ancestor’s ancestor, and even their ancestor existed.”

Cold sweat trickled down Min Yu-jin’s back.

If someone else had said this, she would have thought them a pathological liar or delusional patient.

But facing those eyes filled with such strong conviction, she couldn’t think of it as lies at all.

“What is the predator’s purpose?”

Kang Woo-jin, who was about to say something, shook his head.

“I told you. Only one question. That one just now goes far beyond the scope of the first question.”

Kang Woo-jin straightened up.

“I’ll give you a special choice. Would you like to die first? Or would you like to die last?”

Min Yu-jin drew in a hollow breath.

She could instinctively tell.

That Kang Woo-jin was showing his own form of mercy.

He was offering to spare her from having to wait her turn while watching everyone else die.

“If you can’t choose, I’ll decide for you. Die first. That would be better.”

Before she could say anything, his hand reached out.

At that moment.

CRASH!!!

With a tremendous roar, Kang Woo-jin disappeared from sight.

What replaced him was someone wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Shorts and three-stripe slippers – had he stopped by a convenience store or something?

While she stood there with her mouth agape.

The man looked back and forth between his phone and Min Yu-jin.

“You’re Reporter Min Yu-jin, right? I came to rescue you.”

“Th-thank you.”

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“No, no.”

“I’ll untie you, so go downstairs. A team from the Player Hunter Bureau will arrive soon. Miss Mi is very worried.”

Having finished speaking, Jinhyeok turned around.

“Hurry and go down…”

Clang!

He swung his sword to deflect a flying dagger.

He had gone easy since Min Yu-jin was nearby, but the recovery was faster than expected.

“Who are you? Who are you to be so rude?”

Kang Woo-jin climbed onto the railing, frowning.

Jinhyeok quietly stared at Kang Woo-jin.

His right shoulder that had been kicked should have been shattered.

Now it was completely healed.

A recovery-type ability user?

“Hmm? Wait, wait.”

As if something was amusing, a smile spread across Kang Woo-jin’s lips.

“Was it you? The one who killed Maredo?”

Honestly, he was surprised.

For Maredo’s name to come up as soon as they met.

They really were connected.

The Rabbit that lived in the Tower of Despair and the human that existed in reality.

“What’s your relationship with that Rabbit?”

“You could think of it as a chess player and chess piece. This time I’ll ask the question. Did you kill Maredo?”

When he nodded, Kang Woo-jin’s smile stretched even longer.

“Well, well, how delightful. I wanted to meet you.”

“Me?”

“Yes. Honestly, I was surprised. I never thought Maredo would fall here.”

Jinhyeok slowly drew in a breath.

Not because he was nervous.

It was just that he began to see through Camilla’s spiritual eye that he had carved in earlier.

The things dwelling within the human before his eyes.

-Use the spiritual eye as soon as you arrive.

Camilla hadn’t said that for no reason.

The flesh was definitely one body.

But what was contained within were souls that easily exceeded a thousand.

“You look human on the outside, but what’s inside is completely different.”

“Huh?”

Kang Woo-jin let out an exclamation.

This was a first.

A human seeing through him.

‘So that’s what it meant.’

A being whose scent was steeped in thick blood.

Seeing the number of suppressed souls, it was understandable.

Kang Woo-jin cleared his throat a few times and opened his mouth.

“There’s no need to talk longer. I’ll give you an opportunity.”

Kang Woo-jin extended his hand.

“You are qualified. Qualified to become a predator. How about it? Won’t you join me? I’ll give you the eternal life that all humans desperately desire…”

“I’m not grateful, but I’ll decline.”

Kang Woo-jin’s eyebrows twitched.

What?

He doubted his ears.

He seemed to not understand properly.

What this meant.

“Why? Were my words difficult? Or do you lack comprehension? Once more…”

“First reason, I’ve already obtained immortality. Second.”

“Shall I give you a warning? Never interrupt my words again…!?”

Kang Woo-jin’s eyes widened.

Jinhyeok had reached right in front of him in an instant.

Opening his mouth, Jinhyeok recited the remaining reason.

“You are too weak.”

CRAAAAAASH!!!

A violent roar erupted from the top of Namsan Tower.

Jinhyeok smiled as he looked down at Kang Woo-jin who had been smashed into the cement.

How could it possibly sound sweet?

A proposal from a being far weaker than myself.

Swoooooosh…!

Hundreds of weapons shot up into the sky.

And those weapons.

Aimed at Kang Woo-jin.
