57. Kidnapping
“Wow, it’s already 2pm. Should we eat before we get to work?”
The remaining three people nodded at the same time as the person in charge said.
I was already hungry because the smell of food came from somewhere.
“Let’s move over there.”
I walked along with the person in charge and soon found myself at a restaurant.
I could clearly smell the savory soybean paste stew.
“Uniquely, this cafe doubles as a restaurant.”
The person in charge smiled and grabbed a table, and the rest followed suit.
“president!”
At the call of the person in charge, the owner, who had been preparing food in the kitchen, came carrying a water bottle and a cup.
It was a woman who appeared to be in her early 30s, quite young to be the president.
“Did the interview go well?”
There was still a final interview left, but the person in charge smiled and pretended not to notice.
“Yes! Thanks to the owner, I was able to finish the meal in a quiet atmosphere without disturbing other guests. Thank you.”
“No, I am grateful to you for giving us a large amount of money to use the place. It was already a remote place so there weren’t any customers. There was nowhere for money to come in. Thanks to you, I was able to breathe a bit.”
“I’m glad it was helpful. But at the same time, I’m sorry. I know today is a holiday, but I made you work like this….”
“I’m really sorry. It’s a cafe in name, but I didn’t even serve coffee…”
“Haha, no. Isn’t coffee supposed to be eaten after a meal?”
The president covered his lips and laughed at the manager’s joke.
“Hehe, then later, after the meal, I’ll prepare you a cool cup of Aame. Just wait a moment. I’ll bring you your meal right away.”
The owner brought the food quickly, probably because he had prepared it in advance.
A number of side dishes were placed on the table.
The savory soybean paste stew was a superb meal.
“Eat plenty.”
“Yes, thank you, boss.”
The person in charge, who was talking with a smile, glanced at the female owner’s buttocks as she entered the kitchen, then quickly turned his head.
“Hmm, are you all hungry? Come on and eat.”
The players raised their spoons as if waiting for those words.
The black flame dragon ate the food hungrily as if it were a mukbang.
“You must have been very hungry. Hehe.”
“Chuck, chuck.”
I didn’t even pretend to respond to what the person in charge said and just focused on eating.
“Okay, eat well. That way, you’ll be able to do your best for the final interview.”
At those words, the players stopped and looked at the person in charge.
It must be unpleasant to discuss murder at the dinner table.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say anything during the meal, did I?”
“I guess so.”
When the impersonator made an annoyed expression, the person in charge lowered his head again.
“I apologize if you were offended, but please don’t think too badly of the murder. Isn’t this all for the sake of the players’ unity?”
“Still, killing innocent ordinary people is a bit…”
The person in charge scratched the bridge of his nose at Ryu Min’s words.
“Hmm, so you were concerned about the fact that he was an innocent ordinary person?”
“Yes…….”
“Don’t worry about that. The target I have chosen is a criminal.”
“Uh, really?”
“Yes. So there is no need to have any remorse. Well, aside from that, if you want to lead the world as a player, you need to have a heart of steel. Just like Black Scythe here.”
The person in charge smiled and held out a black scythe.
It looks like he’s already trying to jump the line.
‘Well, if you join the Black Scythe cafe, you will immediately become an executive.’
Ryu Min was also actually interested in an executive position.
Participating in the interview like this wasn’t just to get the alter ego rune.
It was part of a plan to create a player union cafe and kite.
‘It’s natural that in order to rally players, you have to climb to a high place first.’
It is not difficult to aim for an executive position at Plseva.
Just like the impersonator in front of you, you just have to reveal that you are Black Scythe and pass the interview.
‘But that’s not the way I want it. ‘I have no intention of joining even if it means killing ordinary people.’
In any case, becoming an executive at Plseba is something I will do later.
Getting the clone rune is more important now.
By the time the meal was almost finished.
“Did you enjoy your meal?”
The female manager approached me with a smile.
There were four iced Americanos on the tray he was carrying.
“Try some coffee for dessert.”
“Thank you, boss.”
“No, I am more thankful.”
The female manager smiled at the person in charge.
It was a warm atmosphere, but only for a moment.
When the female manager entered the kitchen, harsh words came out of the person in charge.
“Then, shall we have coffee and then proceed with the final interview?”
“Who are you going to kill?”
The person in charge smiled at Black Flame Dragon’s question.
“Originally, if there was someone among you who I wanted to kill, I was going to target that person…”
The person in charge sucked on a straw.
“Since you say no, we have no choice but to kidnap the person we were looking for.”
“Kidnapping?”
“Yes. After the kidnapping, we will move the target to a good place to dispose of the body. Then, the four of you and I will work together to cut the target into pieces. If we do that, we will pass the interview.”
It was simple if you just heard it in words.
Because they stabbed people multiple times in 4 rounds.
But in reality, it felt different.
-In real life, you have to kill ordinary people. I’m a bit reluctant… … Still, since we are told that we will die together and not alone, I can feel less guilty.
When I read his thoughts, I realized that even the imposter who had committed countless frauds was hesitant to get his hands dirty.
Since he is only interested in money and has no interest in murder, it would be natural to be worried.
‘Well, later on, he will gain notoriety as a doppelganger and will go on a rampage for murder and nothing else.’
While some impersonators were concerned about murder, others were not.
A middle school student who had an aptitude for murder did that.
-The interview is easy. Isn’t it okay to just kill an ordinary criminal? The stack won’t go up even by X.
It doesn’t seem to be a problem for the Black Flame Dragon, who has already committed murder in reality.
“Have you finished your coffee?”
“yes.”
“Then shall we wake up?”
When the person in charge stood up, the players followed suit.
Seeing this, the female manager comes out to meet her and smiles brightly.
“Oh, are you going to stop?”
“Yes, I ate well, boss.”
“You can stay more.”
“No, I have urgent business to attend to.”
The person in charge who was saying that suddenly frowned and rubbed his stomach.
“Oops, I guess I ate too much… Where is the bathroom here?”
“Oh, it’s around the corner.”
“Boss. Then can I ask you a favor?”
“Please?”
“Could you please pull out the car for me? As you can see, I’m in a hurry….”
“Of course we have to do that.”
The female manager readily accepted the manager’s request for valet and was handed the key.
I immediately walked to the van parked in front of the cafe and opened the door.
Rattling-
The moment you put your body into the driver’s seat.
“town!”
Someone strangled her with his forearm from behind.
The female manager, who was struggling without being able to confirm who it was, soon fell limp.
“Tsk, it’s easy.”
The person who was strangling him was none other than the person in charge.
He pretended to go to the bathroom, but quickly returned and strangled him.
The person in charge immediately put the slumped female CEO in the back seat and shouted outside.
“What are you doing? Get in now!”
The interviewees who had been watching the kidnapping process in a daze quickly boarded the van.
Buuuung-
The car started, but the interviewees still looked puzzled.
“Ji, what are you doing now? Why are you calling the boss…?”
“I told you, there’s something I’m looking for.”
“Was that the cafe owner?”
“yes.”
“…….”
The interviewees looked at the female CEO lying next to them with bewildered expressions.
He must have passed out and is sleeping soundly.
“You said you were targeting criminals.”
“That’s right, he’s a criminal. He’s a typical flower snake who was recently released from prison and lives with his identity washed.”
“Flower snake…? The boss?”
“What kind of money did I have to open such a big store at the age of 30? It was all money I made by digging out of men’s pockets.”
“ah……!”
“He seemed nice, but there was such a twist….”
He later responded that he had been deceived, saying that he almost got hit too, but Ryu Min knew the truth.
Because the inner thoughts of the person in charge were clearly heard.
-Hehe, you say it’s really easy to deceive people? Would you believe me if I told you that even your in-laws’ cousins are from a family of criminals?
Ryumin’s eyes narrowed.
‘You’re labeling innocent ordinary people as snakes.’
They blame ordinary people and incite them to commit murder.
There is no evil like that.
‘The intention is probably to make them participate in the murder and make it difficult for them to get out later.’
What if you later find out that the person you killed was an ordinary person?
Someone will feel guilty.
Then it becomes easier to threaten.
On the other hand, you can persuade them to create a new order together.
That was Plseba’s method of preventing players from leaving once they signed up.
Ryumin glanced at the thoughts of the imposter and the Black Flame Dragon.
-I never would have guessed that the female president was a flower snake. She was a bitch who deserved to die, right?
-They say he’s a criminal, so it’s easy to kill him. Well, even if it’s not true, you have no choice but to kill in order to join.
Although their thoughts were slightly different, they had in common the intention to kill the female boss.
I thought that one person had to make a sacrifice in order to join the cafe.
Squeak-
While driving on the national highway, the car turned into a mountain road and suddenly stopped.
“We’re here. This is the warehouse where the final interview will be held.”
The person in charge stopped the car at a shabby warehouse in the mountains and looked around the female manager.
Even though he looks like an old man, he is a level 13 player in his own right, so he was able to move the boss without any difficulty.
dump-
Even though I left it carelessly on the floor, the lady boss did not break.
Looks like he fainted properly.
“Let’s put it down here and start working. But before that….”
A sinister smile appeared on the face of the person in charge.
“Is there anyone who wants to have some fun together? It would be a shame to kill you like this, right?”
“hmm…….”
The younger Black Flame Dragon had no interest in the female boss, but he was not an impersonator.
“Black Scythe? I see that you are thinking about it, so I guess you have an intention to do it?”
“Well… it’s true that it would be a waste if I was going to kill him anyway.”
“Then, shall we have fun together? No, in this case, we must exercise the virtue of giving in. I will especially give Black Scythe a chance. Let’s have some fun first, hehe.”
“Hmm, if that’s the case….”
The impersonator stepped forward, dancing in his pants.
After reading his thoughts, he had already decided to kill the female boss.
I thought rape was okay.
“Black Flame Dragon and c*cktail, please wait in the back for a while until Black Scythe finishes.”
“Yes. Just finish it quickly instead.”
Unlike the Black Flame Dragon, who retreated as if he was annoyed, Ryumin stepped forward.
“wait a minute.”
“Why are you doing that, c*ckle?”
“Can’t I go first?”
“Huh? c*cktail, will you do it too?”
The person in charge was surprised, but then smiled sinisterly.
“Tsk, this is fun. I thought you wouldn’t be like that because you’re very shy, but you seem to be surprisingly interested. Well, at 19, you’re at your peak of energy… Ah! Is this your first time?”
“yes yes…….”
“Hehe, good. Black Scythe?”
The person in charge asked the impostor’s understanding as he was about to take off his panties.
“I’m sorry, but could you please give up the player to c*cktail? It’s said to be his first experience.”
“Ah, if it’s your first experience, you should give in.”
The impersonator pulled up his pants without any sign of regret.
Meanwhile, Ryu Min walked towards the impersonator with an expressionless face.
As the two people passed by each other, the impersonator spoke as if he was passing by.
“Be good. I made a special concession.”
Ryumin also smiled and answered.
“Thank you. I will use the clone rune well.”
“Huh? Runes? What….”
It was then.
chin-!
Ryu Min held the impersonator’s face with both hands and applied some force.
Kkkdeudeudeudeuk-!
The imposter’s head turned as if he were snapping off a chicken’s head, and he fell helplessly to the floor.
It was instant death.
