Chapter 156

Chapter 156 – End of the Revenge #3

‘In the end, Machina’s maneuvering limit is around two hours . ’

Currently, Tae-hyuk had the Machina replacing both of his arms . Since upgrading to ‘King’, his ‘Illegal Surgery’ skill had evolved into ‘Body Modification’ . He was like a converted human who appeared in the movies .

Machina was a machine . It took a lot of training to move it properly . Tae-hyuk forced it using Body Modification . Just using it in simple everyday life was a burden .

‘I used it to smash a wall and to block bullets, so it wouldn’t be strange if the Machina broke down right now . ’

The stamina that had risen after becoming a King was barely hanging on . Tae-hyuk massaged his arms and looked at the Demon Revealing Mirror, which marked the location of the remaining survivors in the underground research institute .

After two hours of fighting, the number of Yakuza members remaining was less than half . The survivors lost their will to fight and started to protest . In order to take control of them, he would receive some damage, even with the help of the crime skills and Machina .

This was why the power of the Bomber was necessary . It was impossible to blow up an institute of this size with just one or two bombs . Thus, seven bombs were installed at the optimal points and would explode at the same time . All the preparations were finished, and he could now blow up the place at any time by pressing the switch .

‘First of all, I have to wait for the Bomber’s revenge to end and then the institute…’

At that moment, Tae-hyuk noticed something strange .

‘…Eh? What the?’

This was an underground research facility . Naturally a ventilation system was installed . However, a light pink smoke was emerging from it .

Tae-hyuk wasn’t the only one to notice this . A place not far from where Tae-hyuk was located . The Yakuza were doing their best to build a base in the laboratory . One of them looked at the smoke being emitted from the vents and shrieked .

“T-The Psychotropic Incense?!”

“Surely they aren’t sacrificing us…!”

“D-Damn! Mister Park has left us!”

“Aaaaack! N-no! This can’t…”

Even those who maintained their composure started to panic . The smoke was a vivid pink . At this level, it was almost like a raw solution . The smoke that was diluted a hundred times could turn people into puppets . But this concentration…

“L-Let me out of here!”

The Yakuza felt like prisoners of war who were trapped in a gas chamber . The Psychotropic Incense instantly spread to cover the Yakuza .

“Kwaaaack! U-Uwak, kuoock!”

Through numerous research, its effectiveness had reached the limit . Originally, it was mixed with alcohol and the fragrant scent spread in the air . But what if it was sent through the ventilation system?

The undiluted solution was sprayed .

Of course, it wasn’t poisonous, so it didn’t kill the Yakuza .

“Kkuck…! Keeok… . kuk!”

But at this moment, the Psychotropic Incense showed an unexpected effect .

“Grr… Grrrrrrr!”

The eyes of a Yakuza member affected by the Psychotropic Incense turned red . The muscles of his body relaxed and blood vessels bulged out on his face .

“Kuaah! Aaack!”

The Yakuza member started to attack his colleague . He reached out for the neck of the person next to him .

“Kkuck . Kkuk! Keuok!”

His mouth started foaming . From the eyes, blood mixed with water started to flow down . Some people were scratching their necks and vomiting up blood .

Those who inhaled the Psychotropic Incense were no longer human . All reasoning disappeared and they became monsters that wanted to kill .

@

Tae-hyuk groaned as he watched the scene unfolding before him .

‘Once all reason is taken away from the Yakuza, only violence remains . ’

The area around him was filled with the smoke of the Psychotropic Incense . Despite his stats reducing by half, he managed to retain his sanity .

However, his stats were still falling . The moment it reached zero, he would lose control .

The Demon Revealing Mirror let out a warning sound . It would become dangerous if he didn’t get out of here right now . Tae-hyuk thought that the Psychotropic Incense just turned humans into puppets . But something this ridiculous was happening .

‘In the end, the Psychotropic Incense is similar to dynamite . ’

Sometimes, inventions made in goodwill were distorted . Dynamite was made for mines to work safely in the mines . However, the dynamite became bombs that killed many people .

The Psychotropic Incense was created to steer people to buy the company’s products . It gave birth to a larger evil . The virus that they were studying here could propagate infinitely .

From what Tae-hyuk remembered, it had never appeared in the world .

‘…I know as far as 14 years in the future . Then after that…’

If that were to happen, the world would fall into chaos . Maybe even World War Three would happen . However, Tae-hyuk had a bomb switch that could blow this whole place up . The Psychotropic Incense was a perfume . If he set it on fire before it was absorbed in the body, he could burn it . This meant that he could get rid of everything simply by pressing the switch .

Tae-hyuk’s forehead was sweaty as he thought about it . Maybe he was doing something great without knowing it .

‘Let’s get out of here first and wait for the Bomber to contact me . However, that situation…’

Maybe the Bomber was in a crisis .

“Well, I prepared ‘that’ for such a situation . ”

Tae-hyuk smiled wickedly . It seemed like he wouldn’t care even if the world was destroyed .

@

Kim Tae-sung’s body moved at lightning speed .

People said that if there was a crisis, a human could exert the power of Superman . At this moment, he surely transcended human movements .

Bujik!

“Kuook!”

A rough groan emerged from Kim Tae-sung’s mouth . His body blocked the door of the shelter that was attempting to close .

Kim Tae-sung lost all sensation in his lower body . His spine was crushed by the shock . However, his mind was clear .

The confused Jang Ik-sam shouted,

“W-What are you doing? You blocked it with your body? Are you that eager to die?”

“…J-Jang Ik-sam . ”

A fierce look was in Kim Tae-sung’s eyes as he glared at Jang Ik-sam . Mister Park was shocked as he watched from behind . It wasn’t something any sane person could do .

Kim Tae-sung spat out blood . However, he still managed to grab a bomb in his hand . There were seven points from A to G where he had to install the bombs, but there had been eight bombs in his bag .

“T…th…”

What was he trying to say? Kim Tae-sung had blood flowing from his mouth and couldn’t speak properly . However, his hand installed the bomb on the glass .

Mister Park realized what he was trying to do and moved swiftly . If he couldn’t stop the Bomber then he would die . He had to stop it .

“What are you doing? Shoot! Shoot him!”

“Yes, yes!”

The bodyguards, who had been staring blankly, aimed their guns .

Dududu!

Dozens of bullets were fired .

“T-this…”

Wasn’t this place bulletproof? Mister Park wanted to shout .

Jang Ik-sam howled .

“K-Kim Tae-sung . I made a mistake . S-So please, my life… I-I will also give you money… How about one billion won?”

“Kuoh, eooh…”

Kim Tae-sung would lose his life in a few minutes after suffering a fatal injury, so what good was offering him money? But Jang Ik-sam was so confused that he couldn’t even think . He put his head to the ground .

Kung! Kung!

“Please spare me! I was wrong! Y-Yes . It was all Mister Park . I didn’t want to kill your family . So…”

But Kim Tae-sung already couldn’t hear anything . He just stared at Jang Ik-sam beyond the glass and looked at the bomb that he just installed . He had made it several times stronger than the other seven bombs . It could tear apart the glass and blow up the shelter .

Had Phantom expected that something like this would happen? No, that wasn’t important right now . The life of that person in front of him…

Kim Tae-sung laughed .

Honey… Sang-ah…

From now on, he would be going to the place where they were waiting . He could smile and go .

“T-This bastard!”

Jang Ik-sam threw himself back as Kim Tae-sung pressed the bomb switch . However, the tempered glass didn’t do anything .

Kwaaaaang!

There was a huge explosion that burst the eardrums . Inside the shelter were Jang Ik-sam, Mister Park, and Yakuza members . Everything including the Psychotropic Incense started to burn . At the last moment, Kim Tae-sung smirked and muttered,

“…Yes, I am the Bomber . ”

He himself became the bomb that scorched his enemies .

@

–F-Father!

–Yes? Sang-ah?

–Even if this is a picnic, why are you sleeping on the bench? You have been in the research institute for several months, so this chance to play… It will be wasted if you are sleeping .

–Oh, I fell asleep while waiting for my beautiful daughter .

–Eh? Is Daddy crying? Did you have a strange dream?

–Haha… It was a dream, a dream .

–Hihi . I made sushi and sandwiches for you . Mother will be angry so let’s go quickly .

–Oh, she is scary when angry . Let’s go quickly .

–Yes!

–Once we finish eating, do you want to go on the rides at the amusement park?

–Wahh! Daddy! Hooray! Can I go on the Blue Dragon Train?

–Of course . Then hurry . Mommy will be waiting .

–Yes? Okay! Mommy will wait forever for Daddy!

–Really?

Ah, I see . How lucky . But it is okay now Honey . You don’t have to wait anymore . I’m going right now .

Kuuong!

He felt a tremendous vibration from his feet like there was an earthquake . Tae-hyuk knew what it meant .

He had the switch for the seven bombs installed in the institute . Kim Tae-sung only had the switch for one bomb .

“…Your revenge was successful, Bomber . ”

He tried to get in contact with the radio, just in case . However, only empty noise was heard . Tae-hyuk left the research institute . Once he exited, there was a black van hiding behind a wall . He had prepared it for the escape .

“I will wait one more minute as promised . ”

60…

59…

Tae-hyuk closed his eyes and counted . It didn’t matter if Kim Tae-sung’s revenge succeeded or not . In one minute, he would blow up the entire laboratory by pressing his switch .

Mister Park . Psychotropic Incense . Virus . They would all disappear into flames .

“It was really long . ”

The persistent relationship from his previous life was finally ending .

“…1 . Farewell, Mister Park . ”

Tae-hyuk murmured and pressed the switch and the Taesung research institute exploded like a movie .

Kwa kwa kwang!

It was at that moment that the Demon Revealing Mirror popped up in front of Tae-hyuk .
