"Oof! Ugh!"
A rough breath came out of Kang DongHoon's mouth.
He walked while feeling the sticky sensation of his t-shirt covered with blood.
'I need to give this to the captain...'
He took out a memory chip from his pocket and put on a desperate expression.
He thought of his captain, who was probably looking for him.
The beautiful girl who had shining silver hair…
He was thinking of Baek HwaYeon, the person in charge of the Hwarang Third Squadron.
"Cough! Cough!"
Red blood came from his mouth.
Kang DongHoon cleaned the blood flowing out from his mouth and began moving again.
'I need to make them lose track of me.'
He tried to get hold of himself while biting his lip.
The thoughts about the ones chasing him made his body feel heavier.
"Damn it..."
He was starting to lose conscience. He moved while struggling.
He didn't mind dying…
But he couldn't die without giving that video to Baek HwaYeon.
That's how shocking the contents of the video were.
"..."
Kang DongHoon looked at the SD memory card.
He remembered everything he had to go through just to get that video.
'Those crazy bastards.'
He frowned while thinking of the things he’d seen while infiltrating the Demon Cult.
They used living people as offerings without batting an eye.
The problem was that the cult didn't consist of one or two people…
At first, they thought that it was just a pseudo-religion, but the forces of the Demon Cult were bigger than they had thought.
Kang DongHoon had infiltrated the Demon Cult and acted as if he were crazy to get more information.
And while doing that, he’d managed to record footage where shocking scenes appeared.
'It was all okay until then.'
The Demon Cult strictly controlled communication devices to prevent information from leaking out.
Even if you managed to sneak a device in, all communications from inside the location were blocked.
To send the footage he had recorded to the base, he had to get them the memory card in person.
"Coff! Coff!"
Kang DongWoon fell to the ground while coughing blood.
To take the video outside, he had put a fake video on top of the original file.
The only way you could see what really was inside was to use a decoding device that the Hwarang Squad had.
The video file was something that wouldn't be weird for an adult male to have. He had naturally walked out of the base of the Demon Cult and headed toward the place they had arranged to meet.
'To think they would find the camera out just at that moment.'
One Demon Cult member had found the camera he had used to record.
Because of that, all the effort of using a fake video to hide the original one became useless.
Now that they'd found out that he had recorded, the fact that he had used a fake video to hide the real one meant nothing.
After realizing he was in trouble, Kang DongHoon had taken the memory card and escaped.
People began pursuing him, and an intense fight took place.
He’d managed to sneak out and ask for help, but it wasn't easy to escape because he had already suffered fatal damage.
"Oof, oof..."
Kang DongHoon felt his conscience getting blurry because of the amount of blood he was losing.
He knew that he was getting close to his limit.
If he lost conscience at that moment, the evidence he had got would be destroyed by them.
"Captain..."
With the last remaining strength he had, he walked toward an alley.
"I smell blood."
At that moment, he heard the clear voice of a little girl.
With his eyes shining, Kang DongHoon walked to where he could hear the voice.
* * *
"Oof! Oof!"
From inside the alley, he could hear a rough breath.
KangWoo frowned after smelling the blood coming in that direction.
'What happened?'
Right then, he was quite far away from the gate.
There was no way he would smell such an intense scent of blood there.
KangWoo moved toward where he could hear the heavy breathing.
"Ah, ugh..."
There, he saw a young man in his twenties, trembling while covered in blood.
After seeing KangWoo, the man crawled to him.
"Th-this... Please..."
With his hands trembling, he gave KangWoo a memory card.
—It was a micro SD often used in smartphones.
"Hwar..."
Tap-
He couldn't finish his words and lost consciousness.
KangWoo was disconcerted by what had just happened.
"What's this...?"
The young man covered in blood had collapsed to the ground before he could do anything.
KangWoo looked around and walked toward the young man.
'He's dead.'
It seemed like his wound was already deep before he got there. The young man ended up losing his life almost immediately.
KangWoo tried to find out the young man’s identity somehow.
"Hmm..."
But he couldn't find either a wallet or a phone in his pocket.
There was nothing he could use to check his identity.
'I wonder if I can check his identity with the Authority of Observation.'
He used the Authority of Observation on him. After all, he’d been able to see Kim ShiHoon's status window thanks to it.
Demonic energy emerged from his body and entered the young man's corpse.
[Status Window]
Player Name: Kang DongHoon
Level 52: [6th Awakening]
'Sixth Awakening?'
* * *
He was a player who had a considerably high level. Not only that, but the highest-ranking Attribute he had was A, so it wasn't low.
'It's clear he didn't come out of the gate.'
To access an S-rank gate, you had to be at least level 60 and have completed the seventh Awakening.
'I also didn't see him inside the gate.'
KangWoo picked up the micro SD that Kang DongHoon had left.
"So, this is the only evidence I have?"
KangWoo put the micro SD card inside his phone.
Inside the memory card, there was only one video.
KangWoo pressed play and watched it.
"Th-this...!"
KangWoo's eyes widened after seeing the contents of the video.
The sound of muddy water…
The sound of a woman moaning…
Bodies interacting with each other filled the screen.
Inside the micro SD that he’d received from the young man about to die, there was an adult video.
'This is porn...'
KangWoo was confused by the situation.
To think that the thing that the young man had given him with his last remaining strength was porn.
'What's up with this situation?'
KangWoo grabbed his forehead in confusion.
He didn't know what to do in that bizarre situation.
'Why did he give this to me before dying?'
It was something too dirty to call a relic.
'Did I see wrong?'
KangWoo once again watched the video from start to finish.
But there was nothing on the video except for bodies interacting.
"..."
KangWoo looked at his smartphone with his mouth closed.
To understand the deep meaning of the video, he observed it with sharp eyes.
He watched the video again from start to finish.
"Hmm..."
Once more…
"Hmm."
And once more…
"Oof..."
Non-stop.
"This is…"
The tips of his lips went up.
He looked at the video with a smile.
"Nice."
Ten thousand years…
It had been ten thousand years.
It was the first time in ten thousand years he had seen porn.
"Very nice."
At the moment, he didn't care about things like pride or anything.
KangWoo looked at the video as if he were about to get dragged into it.
'Amazing.'
KangWoo's eyes shone while looking at the video.
Just by looking at it, he could feel his body becoming hot.
"KangWoo, what's that?"
Echidna asked while pulling his clothes.
"A video with a very important piece of evidence."
KangWoo said in a very serious voice tone.
"Yes. How should I say it? It's about the wonders of the human body... The miracle of birth..."
He was describing porn in a glorifying way when suddenly…
Tap- Tap
"Hey."
At that moment, KangWoo and Echidna were surrounded by a group of people.
There was a sense of madness in the peoples’ eyes who were wearing black clothes.
"..."
KangWoo put the smartphone into his pocket.
He could feel a killing intent coming from those people.
'Who are these guys?'
KangWoo frowned.
At that moment, one guy whose half of his face had been damaged by fire approached him.
He looked at Kang DongHoon's corpse and then looked at KangWoo and spoke in a low tone.
"You saw that video."
"What...?"
KangWoo looked at them, disconcerted.
The man wearing black clothes began laughing.
"Don't act dumb. I already know that you've seen the video."
"No, I did see it. But..."
"As long as you've seen the video, we cannot let you live."
"What are you talking about?"
KangWoo looked at them in disbelief.
The man with the burned face snorted.
"Hmph. Are you trying to act dumb after seeing that video?"
"What?"
"You're a shameless one, huh? Or maybe you're just dumb."
'What are you talking about?'
"Anyway, as long as you've seen that video, we cannot let you live."
'Why are they so obsessed with porn?'
KangWoo couldn't understand the current situation.
The men wearing black robes took out their weapons and released a chilling killing intent.
"..."
He couldn't understand why those people were so obsessed with the video.
But there was something he was sure about: they were after the video he had with himself at the moment.
KangWoo's eyes shone.
He softly grabbed his phone, which he had put in his pocket.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot give you this."
"Hng, you're finally revealing your true colors."
The men took their weapons out as if saying that they knew it.
KangWoo glared at them.
'No matter what happens, I will protect this video.'
‘Even if it costs my life!’
