C49: No matter what

I rushed to Lee Ha-yuls house after I heard about the gangs attack .

Damn it! Why are they already making a fuss?

I finally arrived at Lee Ha-yuls house after running, riding different things and even teleporting.

Some noises could be heard from a shabby house standing alone in the darkness.

Huff Huff

After taking a breath, I eavesdropped from the door. They didnt set up any watchmen? Well yeah, who would come to this shabby house at night? Even the thieves might just walk away after seeing this crumbling scene.

Anyway, I heard something from inside.

[P-Please save me Spare my life]

Well, I guess I came on time.

Im glad hes not dead yet. If he died, it would be a mess.

All I have to do now is find the right time to come in.

So I went to wait in front of the door.

After waiting for a while, the men finally were about to beat up Lee Ha-yuls brother.

Yeah, nows the time.

I took out the bomb that I had prepared.

Ego-styled Bomb Level 4.

Threatening Bomb.

THUUUUMMMMPPP.

The door exploded with a loud roar.

Of course, if I use a regular bomb on this shabby house, the door wouldnt be the only thing that blew up, so I had to choose a bomb with moderate force.

What the fuck!!!

I could hear them cursing from inside.

How dare those brats curse at me in our first meeting!

Well, these kids need to be educated.

Brother, Ill go and take a look!

I can hear some guy shouting from the inside.

Hmm, the first scapegoat.

Adios, man.

Who the hell are you?

Its a pity that its his last will.

I shot him in the head in silence. A bullet in the head is good for your health. Probably?

Fuck!!!

Take out your guns! The youngest member got shot!

Well, are we going into the full-pledged fight now?

Lets start then.

I manipulated and cut off the house fluorescent lamp with my telekinesis first. The atmosphere is important.

And because this is my first fight during night time, I wanted to do it in a darkened atmosphere. Ive never been out at night because of Shadow Walker. The atmosphere doesnt have any vibe during the day, but only the night can give off that intimidating feeling.

I cut off the electricity.

I could feel them nervous inside. No, I can actually see them getting nervous. The mask I wear has a built-in night vision. It feels like my mask is becoming a high-tech crystal, but its probably just me, Im the only one who thinks so.

Anyway, I went inside to help them. A hysterical voice spoke up as soon as he heard footsteps. Shoot!

And the bullets started flying madly towards me. Oh my, so scary. However.

I havent used my telekinesis for three months, you know.

Well, Im not saying that it got improved or anything like that, but I can easily flick their bullets away.

I quietly flicked all the bullets.

As I flicked them all, the bullets hit the wall of the shabby house and dust began to fall off.

I stayed still, holding my breath.

One of them, who could not see an inch ahead in the dark and dust, muttered quietly.

Did you do it?

Would you have done it?

I let go of the fluorescent light that I had fixed with my telekinesis for a while.

What they saw after the light was on again, Peekaboo! Me.

Shoot!

They shouted.

But instead, I shot and swept them away.

At the last minute, a man who appears to be the leader took Lee Ha-yuls brother as a hostage

I just simply took care of him with my telekinesis.

Gosh, has he never seen me on the news? He didnt know that my power is telekinesis?

Hmm I cant believe that Im still not that famous yet. I need to work harder.

Anyway, I was able to prevent the death of Lee Ha-yuls younger brother in the nick of time.

And now.

The house is covered with blood. It looks almost like a Gore horror movie. If they film this and sell it as a movie, kids under 19 will be banned from watching it no matter what.

And they were both underage kids. Ah.

Lee Ha-yul looked at me in fear while her hands, feet, and mouth were tied tightly.

Well, it seems like I gave her the worst first impression.

She probably saw me as the killer who killed five people. I was just trying to help you!!

It wouldnt be strange if her elementary schooler look-alike younger brother fainted. Well, he didnt faint, but hes also looking at me with trembling eyes, I think hes afraid of me, too. Oh, shit First impressions are the most important thing.

What should I do now? Should I just go with the horror mode? The moment when I was hesitating.

From the front, Lee Ha-yuls younger brother spoke up.

M-Mango Stick?

To be honest, I had a slight brain freeze when I heard it.

Huh?

I was expecting Save me to come out of them but all of a sudden?

Looking at the child again, his eyes glistened at me.

Alright, here I realize.

Maybe it was worth it.

***

Back to the present.

I released Lee Ha-yul and her brother.

Lee Ha-yul seemed to be trying to resist something, but her brother was faster than her.

M-Mango Stick. I-I-Im a big fan!

He looked at me with sparkling eyes.

Ugh, stop it.

It makes me feel bad looking at a childs innocent eyes!

Its like a pool of blood behind me. How can he still be so bright?

Ha-yul, how did you raise him?

His sister, Lee Ha-yul, was already on alert hugging her brother. Hey, I think your brother is already into me.

Are you here to save me?

The kid spoke with his eyes sparkling.

Yes, thats right. Thats right but if I say so here, itll be a bit confusing.

Ahem, hmm No. Actually, Im here to catch you because your sister picked my wallet.

Lee Ha-yuls face turned pale in an instant.

I quickly continued.

But when I came here, there were some bullies running around. I dont like guys like that. You know what I mean?

The kid nodded crazily at my words. Do you really understand? I dont even know what Im talking about.

Anyway, thats how it turned out

I looked around and sighed.

Then I shrugged my shoulders and continued.

Kids, you should just follow me first. Its night time and the gunshots rang, so well be in trouble if anyone comes and sees this tragedy.

Lee Ha-yul opened her mouth for the first time.

How can we trust and follow you?

Apparently, shes wary of me.

Yeah, I understand why Lee Ha-yul is acting like that, she cant trust humans easily now because of that director from the orphanage. Well, its weird to follow the killer who killed 5 people that you just met, right?

Anyway, since she said so, I have nothing else to say.

I cant just threaten them to follow me.

Of course, its not going to be very appealing if I threaten them. I mean, it will be a negative element for long-term relationship development.

This is why I was going to build up with my wallet all this time.

It would have been a very difficult case.

Well, there was one variable. A highly positive variable.

Ha-yul, what are you talking about? Egostic is such an amazing person!

Her brother makes a sudden leap saying so.

He immediately began to address his sister about how great I was.

I think 80% of the content is mixed with exaggeration and fabrication. I decided to stay still since its going well. Instead, there was a problem that I was somehow embarrassed to hear compliments about myself right in front of me.

After his fuss ended.

Lee Ha-yul became very troubled.

Cha-yun Still, how can we believe and follow someone weve never seen before?

Its not my first time seeing him! Mango Stick! I mean, Egostic is a hero!

Thats not it. Im not a hero.

Anyway, no matter how much I think about it, I think Lee Ha-yuls younger brother is a member of Mango Union..

And this is a big chance!

Lee Ha-yul especially. Shes so weak towards her younger brother.

Look at her now. A while ago, her expression was strongly filled with resistance, asking how they can trust and follow me, but she became really troubled by her younger brothers words. What a dramatic change!

This is my best chance when her brother is rebelling and she has to go with it.

Follow me, kids. Shadow Walker or the cops will come and see these bodies in five minutes

Yes, Ha-yul! Lets hurry up and follow Egostic!

She looked confused as I mentioned the police, and even her brother supported me next to her.

Then eventually, she said in a slightly quivering voice.

If you do anything to us, I wont stay still

I answered as soon as she said so.

What can I possibly do to you guys? Im not going to do anything, so just follow me. Hold my hands.

When I reached out my hand, her brother grabbed first.

Her brother stepped forward first, and she had to grab me with a trembling hand.

Good.

So we teleported to my underground basement, all together.

All right. Now everything can go as planned!
