[Contest 3] Friendship between organizations
Episode 7. Encounter with Z
N and M, who were questioning the past incident where Y killed Ji-won, had a conversation separately and then got into a car and went somewhere.
tear m
But n, do you know where he is?
tear N
If it wasn't a comment to ignore me, but a comment made out of genuine curiosity...
tear m
Am I ignoring you? Are you kidding me?
tear N
I was just joking. Don't worry. My information is much broader and more accurate than you might imagine.
10 minutes later.
<☆☆Warehouse>
tear m
n..He really lives here? He's a very obsessive-compulsive person. There's no way he would live in a dirty warehouse like this.
tear N
Let's see... It should be around here...
tear m
What are you looking for?
tear N
The entrance to his hideout.
tear m
Entrance? There's nothing here but that dirty warehouse. What entrance are you looking for?
tear N
He's a very obsessive-compulsive person, just like you said. There's no way he'd live in a warehouse like that. And... don't you think it's strange that there's only one warehouse like that in the middle of nowhere?
tear m
Is this fake?
tear N
That's it.. Oh, I found it.. Yay!
Rattling!
While explaining to M and looking for the entrance, N found a handle stuck in the floor and pulled it.
Then the thick iron door opened with a strange sound, and the dust that had formed as the door opened was cleaned away.
tear N
Phew... I found the right one. As expected... They even created a system that cleans up dust as soon as it forms... m, let's go in.
tear m
huh.
After a long walk down the stairs connected to the entrance, N and M found a girl sitting in a seriously clean space wearing a mask.
tear N
Is it her place today? Did she know we were coming here in advance?
???
No.. today, for some reason, I felt like turning into a girl, so I tried transforming myself.. but as expected, my intuition is scary, right?
tear N
If you keep changing your face every day like that, one day you'll forget your own face... Why not reveal it now? It's better if there's at least one more person who remembers your face.
???
Are you here to pick a fight? You're a stranger without even an invitation from Z. Don't you know that I'm the king of this place?
tear N
I know, z. I don't want to start a pointless fight. I just came here because... there's one thing I want to know.
tear Z
You want to ask? ...Ah...I have a rather interesting question...the truth about Ji-seong and Ji-won.
tear N
Your detection ability is still there.. Well.. If you know our curiosity, can you tell us the answer?
tear Z
..good.
tear m
'Uh...z accepts a request so easily?'
tear Z
Why...do you hate it?
tear m
Oh no.. I don't hate it.. but it's just strange..
tear Z
Well... it's nice to see you guys after such a long time... and...
N,M
?
tear Z
I've always wanted to explore the secrets behind those two incidents.
tear m
Then you can do it.
tear Z
Have you forgotten? My detective skills are either related to the truth you want to know, or I witnessed the incident directly, or I was the instigator of it... one of these three things must be true. But I have no connection to the incident, I didn't witness it, and I'm definitely not the instigator.
tear m
ah..
tear Z
By contrast, you witnessed the incident firsthand and were acquainted with both the victim and the perpetrator. Furthermore, you harbored some affection for the victim, so your brains still vividly remember that old incident. So, in other words...
tear Z
A brain in perfect condition to be scanned with my detection ability...
tear N
affection..?
tear Z
Since we're talking about feelings as seniors and juniors, you don't have to react so seriously. Then, shall we start scanning?
tear m
Wait... don't you take off your mask when you scan?
tear Z
Hoo... You remembered that? That made my intuition even more fearful.
N,M
...?
tear Z
because..
When z took off his mask and revealed his face, n and m could not help but be shocked.
This is because Z's face is none other than Lee Ji-won, the person who killed Yoon Ji-sung and Lee Ji-eun's older sister.
tear m
Ji..Senior Jiwon?
tear Z
Correct~ As expected, your brains are specialized for exploring the truth of that incident. So, what do you think? It feels like seeing the face of the living Lee Ji-won again... Don't memories of you come flooding back vividly?
tear m
I hate it.. I don't want to remember it.. It's painful.. Whenever I think about my memories with Senior Jiwon, the scene from that day always replays in my head..
tear Z
But for me to scan your minds, I need to scan your memories of that day in greater detail. The face of the instigator of the incident is blurred, so if there's an error in the scan, the wrong brain could be scanned.
tear m
Ha..but..okay..I'll try to..bear it as much as possible..sob..
Stick!
tear m
Aaaah!
tear Z
Now. Scan! Connect to the brains of those involved!
When m felt pain while recalling memories with Jiwon, z took advantage of the gap to access m's brain and used that route to enter y's brain.
tear Z
...It's pretty dark... I scanned m's memories as clearly as possible and immediately entered the subconscious of y, the mastermind behind the incident...
tear Y
Jiwon...wake up...Jiwon...
tear Z
That's...y's unconsciousness? What is it...there's an assassin standing next to her...and on Jiwon's chest...a knife mark?
tear Y
No... Jiwon... Come on... Ugh... Why on earth are you doing this?
tear Z
?
tear Z
What the... Do you know that assassin?
tear Y
Didn't you like Jiwon too? But why are you suddenly acting like this?
???
It was an order... from the president of the new organization I was leading... It was a kind of test.
tear Y
Even if it's an order, it's like that! How dare you... I won't forgive you!
???
Can you shoot me?
tear Y
of course!
bang!
???
oh..
Push-
???
oh...
이지원
Cough...
tear Y
...Jiwon? Ji..Jiwon! Why..you took my place..
이지원
Our organization...priority...is...friendship...even if you're a traitor...you can't hurt them...
???
Haha! Training... You, who blocked the bullet fired by Y, made Y a criminal who violated the first priority?
이지원
......! Ji..Ji-seong..Quickly..Run away from here..I can't..make you..a criminal..because of my mistake..!
tear Y
Jiwon...sob!
???
Stop right there~
At the assassin's words, Y's feet stopped as he tried to run away, and his eyes turned red as he approached Jiwon with a blank expression.
tear Z
Mind control? There's another guy with superpowers besides me?
tear Y
...
이지원
Jisung-ah..what's wrong..hurry..ugh..run away..!
???
It's no use~ That guy fell for my mind control.
이지원
You... (sniff) aren't you?
tear Z
Ugh..the scan..is it blurry..is m..trying to wake up?
이지원
No...don't do that...
tear Z
Oh.. the scene in my memory changed on its own?
???
Kill Jiwon... and... you killed Jiwon? You completely forgot about my existence...
tear Y
yes..
이지원
Ugh...'I'm sorry...Jisung...I think I'll give you...bad memories...'
Taang-
tear Z
..Ah..the scan! I haven't..properly..seen..that guy's characteristics yet!
???
Goodbye... Lee Ji-won...
tear Z
Oh.. the wound on my mouth.. it looks familiar.. huh?
As m woke up, z, who had barely seen the assassin's characteristics, was pushed out of m's memories.
tear Z
Whoa! Gasp... gasp...
tear N
z..are you okay?
tear m
What happened? Is there some secret?
tear Z
...'For now... it would be best to keep it a secret...?'
tear Z
I couldn't see it properly.. I scanned it with Jiwon's face turned into M's memory as clear as possible.. but it wasn't as clear as I thought..
tear N
....? Then have you seen anything?
tear Z
Um..ah..that container..so there was one more person in that place.
tear m
There was one more person?
tear Z
Yeah.. I don't remember well.. It was a black-haired boy with a scar on his mouth.. He looked like he was the same age as you guys.
tear m
..I can't think of anyone right now..
tear N
I remember someone.
tear Z
Is there?
tear N
That's Cheon Hyeon-jin.
tear Z
Cheon Hyun-jin? Are you talking about the Cheon Hyun-jin, my split personality?
tear N
Yeah. He was the same age as us, and he really liked Jiwon. He had a scar on his mouth from a knife cut.
tear Z
..then..
tear Y
'Didn't you like Jiwon too?'
tear Z
'The voice of a young man in his 20s... a scar on his mouth... and he even likes Jiwon... that guy... is a cruel psychopath who would kill the guy he liked if it was ordered by his boss!'
tear Z
'This can't be... All the evidence points to that guy, Cheon Hyeon-jin! So... I'm the one who killed Ji-won?'
tear N
z? What are you thinking so deeply about? What's wrong?
tear Z
Ah... It's nothing... Go back to the swamp for now. I'll send you an invitation next time I think of something else.
tear m
z..just a minute..
tear Z
Z's invitation ends here.. Strangers, please go back. Well then.. the festival is over.
At Z's words, the two people lost consciousness and lost consciousness.
10 minutes later.
n and m's joint workshop
tear N
...Did I get hit by this...z's ability?
tear m
Hey..n..I..just before I passed out from z's ability, I heard a voice.
tear N
Voice? Is that z's voice?
tear m
I don't remember well... but I think it was something like that... but... what I said then...
tear N
....what?
자까
What did m hear from z?
슈가
Is it my turn to say hello this time?
자까
for a moment!
슈가
..This is what it feels like to be interrupted while talking..
리더 RM
Can you feel my feelings now?
자까
Rather, you guys cut me off? I had something to say.
슈가
(Dry) Ah..yes~yes~ please do.
자까
I just made rm do all the greetings..
슈가
sorry.
자까
I should have done this a long time ago. Let me introduce you to the newly introduced z!
tear Z
Her name is Yeongwonju. Her code name is Z. She has the superpower to change her face, so no one knows her... no... gender or face.
He also has a strange superpower: the ability to scan the brains of others, as seen in fan fiction.
Exclusion is the act of expelling strangers from one's own space.
In addition, there are mind control and even recovery that can revive people if properly controlled.
자까
Ah! Recovery ability can't revive someone who has died and turned to skeletons!
자까
Okay, now that the explanation is over... Suga!
슈가
Will you come see me next time?
자까
Stop talking nonsense
자까
Leader. Greetings!
슈가
Really? Then... two, three!
방탄소년단
thank you!
