Chapter 136 – Everybody Gather! #2

“Ooooof!”

In a dark container box, someone’s rough groaning was heard . The blue guard’s uniform he was wearing was drenched in sweat .

The person was in his late 20s . The young guard was tied to a pole with his hands behind his back . A cable tie, that police used as a handcuff substitute, was being used to keep him confined . It was a string made of a very thick and durable plastic . In order to take it off, a wire cutter was necessary . His wrists and 10 fingers were bound together, so it was literally impossible to move a single finger .

“Kuooooh!”

The guard wondered why he was in this situation . He seemed to have been hit by someone in the back of the head . In order to get to work, he had to get to the port by car and then sail for another 30 minutes . He parked his car in his usual space and came out…

“Hueok!”

The guard shrieked as something white appeared in front of him . At first he thought it was a ghost . But when he opened his eyes wide and checked, it was a man wearing a mask . He wore a black outfit in a dark room, so it looked like his head was floating .

“You should carefully look at the sides when getting out of the car . ”

“Oof, oooof!”

“Oh, I’m sorry about this . You want to say something, but there is a gag in your mouth . ”

The black shadow came up and pulled out the fabric blocking the guard’s mouth . Then he was able to do what he wanted .

“… . C-Cough! P-P-Phantom!”

“Am I so famous that you are shouting with a happy face to see me? This is the taste of appearing on TV . Shouldn’t I take this opportunity to get one CF?” (CF=commercial)

Phantom started to talk nonsense . The guard looked at Phantom with an perplexed expression . The guard thought back to eight generations of his family tree . However, none of them were associated with the mafia .

“…Why did you attack me? Didn’t you say that you were aiming for the mafia?”

“That? Did I say I would only catch the mafia?”

“T-Then…”

Phantom laughed .

“Ah, don’t worry too much . I don’t plan to do anything to you . If you help me, then you will be able to go home without being hurt . ”

“…If I refuse?”

The exposed mouth gently curved upwards .

“What will happen? I personally recommend that you don’t listen . Do you still want to hear it?”

“……”

Phantom was holding a knife . The guard shook his head and bit his lip .

“Name, Cho Il-jang . 29 years old . You started working at Red Phoenix three months ago . You haven’t received a ticket yet? Due to recent worries, you haven’t been able to sleep properly . ”

“H-How?”

His name and age wasn’t so hard to find out, but the last part gave him goose bumps . He didn’t even tell his parents that he was struggling!

“I don’t have a long time to explain so I’ll just tell you what I want . ”

Cho Il-jang, a new guard, gulped .

Perhaps Phantom wanted inside information about Red Phoenix . Then he picked the wrong person . Cho Il-jang hadn’t even received a proper pass yet . He was literally just a rookie . He didn’t know anything about the prison . If Phantom wanted information then he should’ve snatched another guard .

“Well, it is over now . Your cries or moans won’t register properly . Oh, did I say I would give an explanation? This is all you need to do . ”

Phantom swung the iron pipe that was hidden behind his body .

Peeok!

“……!”

Cho Il-jang couldn’t even scream as he fell unconscious .

“Just sleep here for one day . Think of it as a vacation . ”

Phantom pulled off the mask to reveal Cho Il-jang’s face . It was the same as the face in front of him . From now on, he would enter Red Phoenix Prison as the new guard Cho Il-jang . Then he would grab the hand of the Bomber and escape .

Phantom looked at Cho Il-jang who had fallen unconscious .

“I will leave evidence behind so that you can avoid being framed . Well, I’ll also help you out with the boss who has been bothering you . ”

The police officers patrolling the area in 24 hours would find the car that was left unattended . He had until then to finish everything .

“This brat must be crazy . Why are you so late?”

Cho Il-jang’s supervisor, Kim Byung-gun, wasn’t feeling well this morning .

His junior made him wait 10 minutes .

“I-I’m really sorry . My car broke down so I hurriedly had to take a taxi… But it seems like I am still a little late . ”

“Shouldn’t you answer be I’m sorry I’m late?”

“…Ah, no . ”

“Eh? You’re not even looking in the face of your sunbae when talking . Shouldn’t this brat show respect for your sunbae?”

“I’m not ignoring you!”

“Then do you dislike looking at my face?”

This was like a Mobius strip; it seemed like it would go on forever .

Tae-hyuk held his tongue and looked as sorry as possible .

“…Then shouldn’t we be getting on the boat? If we don’t hurry, then we will miss the good positions . ”

Kim Byung-gun gritted his teeth .

“This bastard…move . ”

The newbie stared fearfully at his angry expression . But Kim Byung-gun didn’t see how his mouth slowly curved upwards .

“Then pick a suitable place to sit down . ”

“Yep!”

Tae-hyuk naturally sat at the empty entrance side .

“I-I don’t want to sit facing the sea breeze . Aish, this rookie is late, so there are no other seats . ”

Red Phoenix Prison was far away from land . Therefore, abuse under the pretext of education was widespread . In particular, the prison warden was a colonel in the army . Every word from his mouth emphasized discipline . In the end, the prison guards of Red Phoenix were so obedient to the ones above them that they were like soldiers .

The ship arrived at the prison, and the guards started to disembark . Kim Byung-gun said with a sneer,

“Shouldn’t you do the heavy lifting for your sunbae? Look at you . Have you only come here once or twice?”

“I’m take it!”

“Yes brat . Move a little bit faster . ”

‘This is enough to cause a neurosis . Isn’t it like a military pairing? No, isn’t it worse? At least there is a time limit until I can be discharged from the army . ’

The turnover rate here was higher than everywhere else . A guard who had his cap covering his face was at the prison entrance . He was holding a metal detector in his hand . Even the guards had to be thoroughly searched .

Tae-hyuk and Kim Byung-gun, who were at the exit, were the first to get off the ship . Thus, they were at the front of the line to enter the prison .

“Please stand in one line . ”

The method for a physical search was simple . First, all metallic objects would be placed in a basket, and then the body would be checked with the detector .

Biiik!

The detector made a loud sound as it moved around Tae-hyuk’s body . The person checking him was perplexed .

“Uh, what is this? Hey, Newbie . What did you miss?”

“I-I’m really sorry . ”

“Don’t just apologize . Ah, the people waiting behind…”

“Oh, maybe my leather belt…”

“I told you not to wear a metal one! Ah, I feel like I am being tortured due to this brat . Ack! Why are you taking off your pants here? Just enter . Ah…”

“Yes, yes! Sunbae, good work!”

After Tae-hyuk passed, it was Kim Byung-gun’s turn . His face was completely rotten . As soon as he passed through the checkpoint, he spat at Tae-hyuk .

“Ah, this fucking brat . What a stupid thing to do . How many times have I told you to be careful?”

“…I’m sorry . ”

Kim Byung-gun spat on the floor and said,

“Head for the accommodations and wait there . I will show you hell today . ”

“……”

Then he walked towards the smoking area .

Tae-hyuk smiled widely .

‘—As planned . ’

Tae-hyuk touched his belly . He could feel something bulging out .

There were two reasons why Tae-hyuk chose Cho Il-jang as the target of Disguise . He was a famous target among the prison guards . Even if Tae-hyuk behaved strangely, the guards would just blame it on him being a brat .

‘It was the right thing to sit at the entrance . ’

The entrance of the ship was an area that people avoided because it was very busy . Furthermore, today there would be a sea breeze and water splashing if anyone sat there . It was a place that the prison guards were reluctant to sit .

However, he was able to get off first when arriving at the destination . That’s why he deliberately arrived just as the ship was going to depart . In the end, Tae-hyuk was able to pass the physical examination very quickly .

‘The person in charge of the checkpoint today dislikes Cho Il-jang . It will be impossible for him to ignore the long line and do a slow physical search . ’

In the end, he could safely pass through the checkpoint while hiding various things in his body . And another reason why…

“Hey! Cho Il-jang! What are you doing! Quickly change clothes to prepare for your shift!”

One of the guards urged him quickly .

Tae-hyuk looked at the building that the guards were entering . The Bomber was trapped inside .

‘This guy is in charge of the bombs . ’

@

He was changing clothes in the dressing room when he heard a rough voice from somewhere .

“This bastard . Why did I say just now? Didn’t I say to head to the accommodations?”

“I-I’m really sorry . I was told it was my shift right now . ”

“Who?”

“That…”

Kim Byung-gun’s temper ignited as he heard the name from Tae-hyuk’s mouth .

“Fuck, that bastard must be crazy . Who is the most senior one?”

“…Kim Byung-gun sunbae . ”

“Then you should listen to me until the end . ”

“I will listen to Kim Byung-gun sunbae . ”

“Do you know this? Hey, you brat . Come with me . ”

“……”

Kim Byung-gun grabbed Tae-hyuk’s collar and pulled him into a warehouse . The guard at the entrance of the warehouse saw Kim Byung-gun’s face and pretended not to know anything . After entering the warehouse, Kim Byung-gun hurled Tae-hyuk to the floor and shouted,

“Today you are dead . Eh? Is this bastard smiling?”

“Kuhuhuhut…”

“Very well…a-aaack! W-What is that?!”

Tae-hyuk took out a scalpel . It was something that he had hidden in his clothes . It was only a blade without a holder, so he had to hold it with the tips of his fingers .

“What? Scalpel No . 20 . It is good for making large incisions . ”

“T-This crazy bastard, crazy! You brought a razor blade? F-Fuck…it was good that I brought this . ”

Kim Byung-gun said angrily as he pulled out a taser . Then he turned on the output to the maximum . It was enough to take down a martial artist .

Despite seeing the taser gun, the bastard still stood with a confident face .

“Today is your memorial service day . ”

Tae-hyuk looked at Kim Byung-gun while holding the scalpel . Then he laughed .

Kim Byung-gun got goosebumps .

Since when did that person smile laugh like that? It was a laugh that seemed to suit the criminals locked up here .

“I am looking forward to your replacement . ”
