Chapter 28: Power Deployment #5

Tae-hyuk first marked his own building map and easily divided it into several sections . He then proceeded to install the traps at the marked locations .

“Well, let’s check it out . ”

On the map, he had carefully written down directions on how to direct the voyeur . If he followed those exact directions, then he would be able to put his opponent into a corner .

However, some unexpected variables could occur . Tae-hyuk began visualizing several different situations, and how he deal with them .

In the meantime, it was time to start self-studying at night . All sound disappeared from the special activities building .

“Now… is it 7:05 p . m? It’s around the time for the voyeur to move . ”

It was also time for Tae-hyuk to take action .

Lastly, Tae-hyuk confirmed all of his equipment . Everything he needed was currently gathered .

“I’ll go and get ready for the guests . ”

B High School’s self-study started at 7:00 p . m, which was when the supervisor would wander around to check attendance . All the students were supposed to be in the classroom . Once attendance was checked, the supervisor would loosen up . Some students would the special activities building to do other things or even to run away .

The voyeur was aiming for this short gap in timing .

“Now is the time to do something in secret . ”

While the main building had the latest security systems, the old wooden building didn’t even have a common CCTV one . If it wasn’t for the geographical advantage of being close to the playground, no one would ever change clothes here .

Tae-hyuk was hiding in the A-17 area, the place of the first trap . He also spotted a window that was slightly open, which was where the opponent would probably enter through here .

7:07 p . m .

The opponent moved .

Kkiiik-

There was no need to check the Demon Revealing Mirror . It was the sound of a window opening .

A black shadow was revealed by the backlight . Tae-hyuk minimized his sound as much as possible as he watched the movements of the opponent .

‘He isn’t collecting the cameras . ’

The voyeur merely took out the memory from the camera and checked its contents . He made a small sound, as if he didn’t like the content shown . He reset the data and reinstalled the camera . Everything took less than 10 seconds .

‘If this was a sport in the Olympics, then would he get a gold medal?’

The black shadow finished his work in an instant and left the room . It wasn’t something he had done only once or twice .

However, the voyeur would have never imagined that someone else was hiding in here .

‘The binding trap is installed in area A-12 . Let’s move right away . ’

Tae-hyuk left his hiding place and chased behind the voyeur . The opponent had stopped at a place 20 metres away . He had activated the binding trap and his feet were tied .

After confirming it, Tae-hyuk moved to the A-13 area .

‘Now is the most important part . ’

Tae-hyuk used the Demon Revealing Mirror to activate Voice Modulation .

He chose female student A that he had prepared in advance .

“… Ah . ”

After Tae-hyuk confirmed that his voice was changed, he spoke loudly enough for the voyeur to hear .

“W-What do I do? I was tired from exercising and forgot!”

Then he changed voices to student B .

“The seniors saw me sleeping and just left! I have to change clothes and go straight to the classroom . ”

He changed it back .

“Y-yes . Hurry!”

Voice Modulation could only imitate people’s voices . He had to create the other sound effects himself . For example, the sound of clothes being taken off .

Sururuk .

The sound of clothes rubbing against skin was heard in the darkness .

The voyeur swallowed his saliva .

Tae-hyuk felt disgusted .

‘D-Do I really have to do this?’

He took off his uniform, leaving him in only short-sleeves and shorts .

‘Student C will emerge at this point!’

Tae-hyuk ducked out of the classroom and crouched down in front of it .

He shouted . It sounded like he was speaking from outside the classroom .

“Sunbae-nim! Big trouble! There’s a frenzy outside because the voyeur entered the school!”

He felt a presence in the hallway . The voyeur was aghast .

‘Ugh, what is this?’

At that moment, Tae-hyuk felt dizzy .

His body almost collapsed . Tae-hyuk stabbed his thigh with a stick just to keep conscious . He could feel his consciousness coming back .

‘Is it because I used the skill too much?’

This was the first time . Now was the most important part . Tae-hyuk gritted his teeth and imitated the voice of student D with Voice Modulation .

“The guard said that the police are coming! Come out quickly!”

‘… I can’t miss catching the fish . Just a little more…!’

He heard the sound of the voyeur rushing away .

Tae-hyuk forced his legs to move and chased after the opponent .

* * *

In order to use his skills, stamina was consumed . He had particularly used a lot of it over the past few days . In the end, the burden came rushing in at once .

‘I think I used more last week… Ah, perhaps…’

In that moment, Tae-hyuk recalled An Eun-young’s healthy food . His hands clenched at the thought . Surprisingly, it had supplemented a lot of his stamina . After not eating it for a few days, his body sent out a few signals…

Did he have to eat her food for the rest of his lifetime? At that moment, he had an ominous feeling .

‘Anyway, the target is in area B-4 . Shall I give it a try?’

Tae-hyuk imitated the voice of a guard .

“The police officers are here!”

The confused voyeur fell down .

However, he got up through superhuman willpower and started to run .

At that time, a wall appeared in front of the voyeur . If he had looked closely, then he would be able to see that it was just a painting .

However, in such a panicked state, such a cold judgment was impossible . In the end, he ran to the other side of the hallway to avoid the wall .

A smile flashed on Tae-hyuk’s face .

‘As expected, he ran to point C . ’

This time, he imitated the voice of Cho Kang-suk .

“I will arrest the criminal who violated the Special Sexual Violence Law! You can remain silent, and any of your remarks can be used against you in court . You can appoint a lawyer and have the lawyer speak for you when asked a question . If you don’t have money for a lawyer, you will be appointed a public defender . Do you recognize your rights?”

Tae-hyuk imitated what he saw in movies as much as possible .

The opponent panicked as Tae-hyuk read his version of the Miranda Warning in Cho Kang-suk’s voice . Originally, they were words that the police would say only after arresting the criminal . But it was still enough to panic the opponent .

The voyeur heard Cho Kang-suk’s cry and started to run faster .

‘Now, go straight . Then you will be very happy . ’

Tae-hyuk took a deep breath as he watched as the opponent ran in the direction planned .

He wouldn’t get any merits from catching this criminal . However, he was happy since he could spend the rest of his time practicing Forgery here . That in itself was satisfying enough .

‘Anyway, this time I can’t get any skill…’

No matter how he thought about it, X-ray Vision was a good skill .

If only…

‘Someday, I might get a chance again . At any rate, haven’t I solved the case?’

He felt bittersweet .

This was the end of the B High School voyeur incident . However, something Tae-hyuk hadn’t imagined occurred at this moment .

“Kyaaaaak!”

A female screamed from the place that the voyeur was running to .

“W-who? Aren’t all the students in the main building?”

Students A, B, C and D who remained in the special activities building were hypothetical people created by Tae-hyuk . Did they suddenly pop out in reality?

“Wait a minute . This is the second time I’ve heard that voice… Ah, Hana sunbae!”

Tae-hyuk realized that he had forgotten about her .

Lee Hana went to France after graduating . Due to that, she could live a leisurely life without attending the self-study at night .

‘If I have time then I will come back to teach my cute junior . ’

She had obviously said that .

Tae-hyuk ran forward with a sick expression . Lee Hana was in danger .

* * *

The situation had gone seriously sideways .

The voyeur saw that a witness had suddenly appeared and pulled out a weapon .

He was a middle-aged man wearing a suit, and gave off a meek and intelligent atmosphere . Such a person was a voyeur…

To Tae-hyuk, he was a stranger; however, Lee Hana might know who he was .

Lee Hana alternated her gaze between the criminal and Tae-hyuk with a pale face .

The voyeur asked in a trembling voice .

“I-I-I, right now, chased by police, stay quiet, don’t get hurt, hostage . ”

Lee Hana closed her mouth and nodded .

Tae-hyuk gritted his teeth . This situation was even more dangerous . He didn’t know when the confused opponent would use his weapon against Lee Hana .

The rabbit was cornered .

‘Damn . It is entirely my responsibility if Sunbae gets hurt!’

Tae-hyuk released the Voice Modulation skill .

Then he approached the two people .

“Ajusshi . Don’t get excited and listen to me . ”

“W-Who are you?”

“A student just passing by . ”

“G-Go away!”

“You have a lot of camera equipment, so I can tell what your hobby is . According to Article 14 of the Special Sexual Violence Law, a person who uses a camera or other similar methods to film an unaware person’s body for their own sexual desires is liable for imprisonment up to five years, or a fine of up to 10 million won . ”

“You!”

“However, the punishment is double that if you threaten or injure a person with a weapon . So, why don’t you have a conversation with me?”

“I-I know! Fuck! I’m going to kill both of you! No one will know if I run away after killing you!”

The voyeur had now turned into a murderer with a weapon .

However, the blade was now aimed at Seo Tae-hyuk instead of Lee Hana .

‘Thus far, it is as planned . ’

Plan A to catch the voyeur had failed . Plan B still remained .

Tae-hyuk slowly reached out to his opponent and said .

“Really? Then…”
