Captured (32) Discovered 2*Warning: Trigger warning for profanity/drugs/kidnapping
[It is currently believed that the Black Sea agent has been kidnapped to a building.
You are currently attempting to break into the building. Please ask for permission. Over]
[Allowed. Over]
Jungkook, who had been on the radio, found a large rock at the entrance and threw it at the CCTV.
bang!
The CCTV was hit with a loud noise from the stone.
We have to go quickly before they notice.....
Jeongguk was anxious. He hurried into the building and found the iron door firmly locked.
[Support, requesting support. There is a thick iron door in the building where the agent is being held. Please send personnel who can dismantle it immediately.
Also, we don't know how many enemies are inside. We also request armed personnel.]
Jeongguk sent a request for support to headquarters.
[I will send troops immediately.]
As the answer came from the walkie-talkie, Jeong-guk looked around and started looking for a way to open the iron door.
. . .
"Hey, Black Sea... How can you be this cute. Hahahahahahahahaha
Right, right, where is that blood going?
Yes, yes... Our Haejoo... This is how you should be as Haedan's daughter...
Where is this signal being sent to?"
Kim Taehyung smiled in amazement and touched his forehead.
shit... I couldn't say anything. Kim Taehyung roughly removed the tape from my mouth.
"Speak... Hurry up!! Speak...!!!!"
His eyes turned golden as if he had lost his mind. Kim Taehyung, who approached, was radiating the energy of a leopard.
“You came to the meeting with other intentions from the beginning..?
right..??
Well then, that's right. That's right.
There's no way Haedan's daughter just came into this group..."
Soon after, the attendant reported another situation to Kim Taehyung. The CCTV at the entrance was shown being hit by a rock and shattered. I could sense that Jungkook had arrived.
"Huh, what is this, is this the police...?
You...were you Kim Seokjin's puppet?"
Kim Taehyung's eyes blazed. He grabbed my hair.
I guess... it won't take long for them to realize that I've been stealing information.What should I do?..I don't want to get killed by that crazy leopard, but the situation was getting desperate.
"Haha... It was you... You... It was you last time, and it's you this time too? Is that right?"
I shook my head strongly. I have to buy time somehow.
""Why don't you speak properly..?!!!"
Kim Taehyung shook the hair he had been holding onto. I was already feeling nauseous from being hit in the stomach, but now my head was spinning.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter..
Anyway, you were going to get rid of it back then anyway..
It's not too late to get rid of it now...
ha ha ha,
I don't know if Chief Kim Seok-jin sent me a spy or a gift...?
It also helps me finish things I couldn't finish before."
I hated his bitter smile, so I turned my head away and tried to resist, but my normal human body was powerless. He looked at me as if he felt sorry for me, then took off the tape next to him and stuck it back on my mouth.
"Hey, can I tell you one more fun thing?
People who turned into animals as a side effect... Do you know where they are?
"It's here... in the basement?"
Kim Taehyung spoke in a whisper. Then he dragged me into the elevator. I tried to resist, but I had no choice but to be dragged along.
""Yeah, down here in the lab... there are people who have turned into beasts..."
Then suddenly his eyes sparkled and he looked at me.
"So I'm thinking of letting the badger hunt badger....
Our Haeju... We haven't experienced the hunting festival yet, so shouldn't we try it at least once..?"
I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat.
As I staggered, exhausted, the assailants grabbed me and stopped me. I tried to escape, but both my arms were grabbed and I couldn't do anything.
Wheeeeeeing...
As Kim Taehyung pressed the button, the elevator descended deeper.
. . .
In the underground laboratory, something was locked in a dark cage. A closer look revealed it to be several badgers.
"They... haven't eaten for over a week...
So now, when you smell blood, you go crazy?
"They rush madly towards their prey"
Kim Taehyung took a knife out of his attendant's pocket and suddenly made a thin, shallow cut on my thigh.
Ugh!!!!
I was so shocked that my scream broke through the tape. Blood began to seep through my torn pants and flow out.
"Originally, hunting was done in an externalized form, but I will leave you in human form and watch how that pretty face becomes distorted..."
Kim Taehyung grabbed my chin as he spoke. I was terrified and tried to avoid his touch, but the assailants held me back, making it impossible to dodge. His hand on my cheek made my teeth chatter with discomfort.
"I don't know how long it will take to get through the top and come down,
Let's meet up...
"I wonder if I can escape into the arms of the police this time too.."
Taehyung gestured to the thugs. They began to open the cage where the raccoon was being held.
"In fact, it wasn't difficult for Haedan to deal with his brother and sister-in-law.
Spreading the smell of blood in the office, two injured people
"If you lock up a few starving badgers that have turned into beasts..."
Kim Taehyung looked at me with pity.
"And then you know...?
You saw that scene too, right?
I think our eyes met as I was watching the scene from the bushes...”
When I was a child, a black shadow met my eyes in front of the office...
It was Kim Taehyung.
As soon as Kim Taehyung finished speaking, he left the lab. Through the glass window, I saw him and his attendants heading in the opposite direction of the elevator.
As soon as the raccoons emerged, the thugs quickly closed the door and left the laboratory. Then they followed in the direction Kim Taehyung had left.
. . .
I desperately climbed onto the experimental table inside.
I couldn't believe it even though I saw it with my own eyes.
Humans...? These guys?
Three or four badgers came running when they smelled my blood. They circled around me, growling. Fortunately, the experimental table was a little higher than I could jump on. I sat on it, trembling with fear.
Kim Taehyung was the one who killed my parents. I felt like I was going crazy. But there was nothing I could do.Am I going to die like this too..?
That was the time.
bang!!
I heard a gunshot. It was definitely coming from the direction of the elevator.
""Black sea...!!!"
Jeongguk's voice was heard from afar.
""Hey, Haejoo!! Where are you!!!!"
I wanted to speak, but I couldn't make a sound because my mouth was taped. My hands were tied, and I couldn't even leave the lab because there were growling badgers under the lab table.
Starting from the entrance, the sound of the handles being opened one by one with a gun could be heard.
The lab was in shambles as the badgers snarled and tried to jump onto the tables. The noise of falling furniture and the approaching gunshots made my ears dizzy.
Soon, I heard the lab door open. Then, Jeongguk, who had spotted me, ran in. Jeongguk dodged the badgers who were attacking him, and then quickly climbed onto the lab table.
""Please do it!!!"
Ugh, ugh, ugh...!!!
When Jungkook took off the tape from his mouth, tears started to flow from my eyes.
"Oh my... I was so scared..."
"Haejoo, it's okay.. I'm here.. You held on well. You did well.."
As soon as he saw me, scratched and torn, Jeongguk took off his jumper and covered me with it. I hugged him.
For a while, tears kept falling. The things I'd heard from Kim Taehyung—why my parents had passed away, what they'd done—were all swirling around in my mind. My hands and feet were shaking like aspen leaves.
Jungkook hugged me tightly. I could feel his warmth through my sweat-soaked shirt. My heart felt a little calmer. The police officers who followed behind shot the badgers with tranquilizer guns, and the scene gradually became more organized.
"Let's go upstairs, the ambulance will be here soon."
"That... that person... Kim Taehyung was the one who killed my parents."
"What...? Haejoo, are you okay...?"
I nodded at Jeongguk's words.
"Kim... Kim Taehyung...? Did you catch him? He went over there.."
I pointed outside with trembling hands. As soon as Jeongguk heard that, he gave directions to the police officers who followed behind him and ordered a search.
"It took a while to get down because it was more complicated than I thought.
I will catch you by any means necessary.
Don't worry too much."
Jungkook lifted me up as if he was going to carry me out.
[I've just reached the end of the hallway, but it's a dead end.
We will continue to search for where he escaped to.
I haven't found a way out yet.]
The radio that Jungkook was carrying rang. Thinking about it, he thought he knew where Kim Taehyung had gone.
"Jungkook, I know the structure here..
This is the research lab my father created.
When I was little, my dad always brought me here.."
I forced myself to get up. My head started to spin as memories of my childhood came flooding back to me one by one.
"Let's go catch Kim Taehyung together..
This time, you absolutely can't miss Kim Taehyung...!"
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm Black Haeju, you know? A badger never gives up..."
Jeongguk nodded at my smile.
"After a while, the externalizing drug effect will wear off...
I'll show you the way here..!"
Jungkook held me tightly so I wouldn't fall. And so, I walked out of the messy lab with Jungkook.
