Vol 4 - 4

/Flashback - Go back to that day./

It seems I'm a bit subjective.

I lightly tapped my beer and

muttered under my breath with a faint smile on my lips. I originally had no

intention of smiling, but my smile with my eyes seemingly floating in the air

seemed to be seen through by the other person several times. No, this is

exactly a mistake, not simply subjectivity. I didn't know why people kept

repeating their own mistakes, but I never forgot the fact that the man in front

of me was not human.

What is put into Ilay's beer is a

muscle relaxant that is odorless and tasteless.

Before adding it, I even

carefully smelled and tasted a little. His sense of taste and smell were very

sharp, so I assumed that even if he wasn't human, he wouldn't be able to

recognize what was mixed in this beer.

The muscle relaxant I got from

Maurer after fighting him was quite mild. The name is a muscle relaxant, but the

effect is more like a sleeping pill, and it will make it difficult for the

drinker to control their body and when the time is ripe, they will become

lethargic. This is the drug that can make you unconscious for just a few dozen

minutes and then wake up normally. If there are no errors, it will also make

the user feel a bit drowsy after waking up, but the side effects are not too

serious for the body and it is also very useful if used for good purpose too.

But it seems like this thing is

just like an ant biting an elephant when applied to this monster sitting in

front of me.

This is a mistake.

I chewed my food nervously and

muttered to myself. Forget it. I tried to leave a memorable goodbye for him but

it didn't work at all. That thought made my mood suddenly drop like a guitar

string.

"What are you so upset

about?"

Ilay suddenly broke the quiet

atmosphere after finishing his second glass of beer and starting to sip his

third beer. Taeui, who was looking down at the green beans on the plate, also

immediately raised my eyes.

"You came to me because you

wanted to ask something but you showed such a serious expression. You scared me

a bit."

Ilay calmly spoke with a calm

smile without any trace of fear on his face. I stared intently at his dwindling

beer and couldn't help but sigh in my heart, then finished my beer.

After drinking the beer, Ilay

placed the empty glass on the table and leaned back on the bed. His face looked

a bit sluggish as if he was sleepy. Taeui just indifferently took another sip

of beer without responding.

There were dozens of questions

overlapping in my mind but i didn't ask any questions. I just want to throw

everything behind my head. But thinking back, Ilay couldn't have such vast

magical powers that he could explain everything even though he seemed to have

swallowed hundreds of other "snakes". Either way, I just wanted to

see what to do next.

As Taeui leaned on the sofa

silently and stared up at Ilay, a smile flashed across his face.

"You met instructor Jeong,

right? That place."

Thinking that Taeui was hesitant

to talk about it, Ilay took the initiative to break the silence first as if he

wanted to make me open my mouth. I stopped shaking the glass slowly, I didn't

even need to ask where "that place" was, I just looked at him with a

strange expression and frowned.

"Anyway, rumors in a place

like this spread quickly, don't they... Do you always chat with him every day? "

"Ah, not really. The fact

that a member infiltrated the 4th floor was brought up in the instructors'

meeting for security reasons. Because instructor Jeong Changin loved his nephew

very much, so your uncle not the one who reported this, but the commander in

chief. That elevator can also record its travel schedule."

I clicked my tongue but still

didn't say anything. Anyway, for me, this is nothing to worry about, even if

the person who reported what happened was an uncle, there would be no problem

at all. That's what he should do while he is here.

"So, is there anything else

you want to know besides what I heard from instructor Jeong?"

Ilay's voice became increasingly

drowsy as if there was a hint of sleepiness in his eyes. Right? I'm not sure if

that medicine could work on Ilay.

......What a scary monster. Even

though this muscle relaxant is classified as very mild, it is still a drug with

great effects. If it were someone else, he would have fallen after half a cup,

but he was still able to hold on after 3 cups and just looked a little sleepy.

I quietly drank my beer, thinking that I should have let him drink all the

muscle relaxants.

"It seems like you heard

everything uncle and I talked about."

Taeui said complacently with a

smile. Ilay didn't say anything more but just raised his eyebrows slightly.

Maybe he thought he knew almost everything but i knew my uncle better. Uncle

are someone who can control what he should say and what he shouldn't do.

Especially when it comes to topics that he doesn't want to be spread out, He is

even more careful.

The two looked at each other and

smiled faintly. I wondered why he was smiling so much today, but that's fine,

anyway, I didn't want to see him again, this human handicapped thing.

"If you have any questions,

please ask. I want to sleep."

Ilay whispered slowly. His

half-closed eyes gently drooped. Aha, I gently tapped the empty glass next to

me once, twice, three times. After all, in any situation, he is someone who can

surpass others.

"I used to think I wanted to

know everything but now that I think about it, I'm not really that curious.

Whatever happens happens, that's how the world works."

"Is it fatalism?"

"That's the theory you

believe."

Ilay smiled quietly at Taeui's

words. The white hand gently brushed away the hair falling on the forehead. Now

he looks really tired and sleepy. After blinking a few times while looking up

at the ceiling, Ilay finally closed his eyes softly. Taeui observed him from

beginning to end and then spoke.

"You look sleepy."

"Um..., and also...., think

for a moment."

His voice gradually became vague

and I could hardly hear everything he was saying behind me. Jeong Taeui was

silent for a moment then asked again.

"Thinking about what?"

No answer.

I slowly counted each tap on the

empty glass next to me.

"Ilay."

I called softly and still did not

receive any response. A moment later, I repeated his name but there was still

no response. Could it be that he intentionally didn't answer or was pretending

to be asleep.... No, it seemed like he was gradually losing consciousness, his

head and shoulders sagging with slow, steady breathing.

So sorry. I thought you weren't

human but it seems you still have the potential to become one in your way.

"I'm glad that you're still

like a human being, at least one of your toes is still touching the human

boundary. But compared to being on such a fragile line, is it possible to pull

your foot out of the line? Isn't it always better to be human?..."

Taeui stood up and muttered

softly. The effect of the drug does not last long, people will only lose

consciousness for a moment and then immediately regain consciousness. Hmm, I

don't know what it's like to drink too much, but he probably won't be able to

fall asleep for several hours. Anyway, there's still a lot of fun I've prepared

for him. If he sleeps for that long, i'll be really uninterested. But if he

immediately woke up after a minute or two, it would be difficult.

"Let's see, even if someone

wakes up, their muscles will be stretched for a while so they won't be able to

move like normal... But if it's him, I should still be careful."

I walked closer to the bed and

closely observed Ilay, watching him fall asleep with heavy breathing like this

made me feel strange. If they just look at this face, everyone will probably

think that he is a handsome man who is a bit mischievous but still gentle.

I shook my head sadly. Standing

in front of him with this perspective made my heart suddenly become quiet, but

at the same time, there was also an unnamed sadness creeping into every cell.

It's just, a little regretful, but if you ask me why I feel so regretful, it's

hard for me to answer.

I rearranged everything in my

head. The luggage was prepared, but it's a bit funny to call it luggage because

I didn't have anything to bring with me. After all, it's just a sports bag. I

left all my belongings behind and only brought my wallet and passport. When I

arrived, I seemed to have some things, but when I left, I was almost

empty-handed.

Less than two hours left until I

can board that ship. I will escape this damn island forever, escape this

bastard forever, and escape this trash organization forever.... I will also not

come to say goodbye to the uncle who has brought so much to me.

"Okay, there's not much time

left, let's do it."

If this bastard woke up now, I

would be completely dead. I sighed and pulled out the handcuffs from my back

pocket. Even though this thing had been confirmed to be able to bind King Kong

countless times, I was still a bit worried because I knew that what I was doing

was not very good.

"If you were born a man,

then be brave enough to try at least once."

One pair of cuffs was at the foot

of the bed, the other was on Ilay's right wrist.

Once he opens his eyes, I will

immediately start running away.

I quietly observed his face

again. His wrist was white and smooth as snow. Even though I could feel the

strong muscles hidden under the skin on his wrist, it was still a wrist as

white as snow.

I kissed the beautiful hands that

captivated me from the first time i saw them. Then I turned around and

continued to handcuff the wrist next to the beer. Ilay still slept quietly with

his arms wide open, handcuffed to the headboard. I sat down next to him again

and looked at him thoughtfully.

Come to think of it, he also made

enemies with dozens of people, so in this life, no one could condemn me if I

strangled him or suffocated him with a wet towel covering his face... That's

right, his hands were also tied so I thought I'd use a wet towel. But no, what

if he struggled to shake his head and the towel fell off? It would be better to

strangle him.

Taeui quietly reached out and

gently grabbed Ilay's neck. At first glance, the blue veins appeared

beautifully under the pure white neck, the hot blood flowing inside made that

place very warm. I could even feel each beat under my fingers. Thud, thud, thud.

It feels...so strange. It was

like finding my favorite toy that I used to play with as a child in the attic.

Don't know why I feel like that.

When was the last time I felt

another person's pulse beating? It's strange, but also very vague. It gives the

feeling that he is still very human.

"....."

"Okay, what are you going to

do next?"

I raised my hand to his neck and

felt his pulse for a moment. In the middle of the quiet space, a low and

languid voice suddenly came out. Ilay's eyes were closed, only his lips were

moving. But he immediately opened his eyes to look at me as soon as he finished

speaking.

I reflexively quickly withdrew my

hand from his neck and returned to reality.

That's right, I was debating

whether to strangle or cover this monster's face with a wet towel.

Even though I knew he would wake

up soon, it had only been a few minutes.

Even though this was a situation I

had predicted in advance, even when his wrists were cuffed and their eyes met, I

still couldn't stop a chill from running down my spine. If Ilay became angry

now and started to protest, or even if the handcuffs were loose or broken, I

would have to log out of Earth today.

Fortunately, I have tested the

durability of these handcuffs to prevent such situations from happening. This

handcuff was specially ordered and can tie up King Kong. I don't know how

powerful King Kong is, but it can at least tie up an elephant.

But I still couldn't avoid the

cold feeling in my heart even though I knew I was still safe.

Ilay closed and opened his

eyelids a few times as if his body was still drowsy and sluggish. Then he

slowly turned his head to look at his wrist and tried moving his wrist. Hearing

metallic sounds ringing on his wrist, he raised his eyebrows.

Taeui sat on the bed and stared

down at Ilay, sure he would respond with bone-chilling eyes. But unexpectedly,

he didn't change his face at all, just looked at me calmly, sometimes I even

vaguely felt a smile on his lips.

"Are you awake?"

"No, I lost consciousness

and just woke up... I'm curious what you put in that beer. Let's see..., is it

a muscle relaxant? I don't think it's an anesthetic or a sleeping pill

......You didn't even give me xyanua, so why do you look so uneasy? I'm the one

who should be worried, right?"

After rubbing his wrists a few

times before giving up, Ilay still calmly relaxed his hands without a trace of

anger on his face. I couldn't see any anger or excitement coming from him.

Rather, it was as if he was watching a funny movie with a smile on his face.

I frowned, for some reason I

thought I had just heard an extremely bitter story.

".....You already know?"

"Know what? About the

medicine you put in it? I don't know what it was, I just know you put it in

something."

"If you know, why do you

still drink?"

There's no way your body can

resist all 50,000 drugs in the world, I whispered with a frown and rolled up my

sleeves. Ilay smiled again when he saw me undo the first few buttons.

"Since you're doing things

you've never done before, I want to see what you're going to do. I didn't

expect you to be able to do something so stupid and cute at the same time.. ..

Tay, I tell you, no matter what you do to me, nothing will change. My brother

will still produce weapons, this place will still be a weapons distribution

network weapons will be traded all over the world and your brother will also

develop weapons."

"....Ilay Riegrow."

I said with a loud laugh, I

placed my hand on his collarbone and pushed myself to sit on his stomach. It

was like I was really about to strangle him.

"It's come to this point, do

you think I care anymore about what you say even if it is related to world

peace? I don't care where my brother develops or sells weapons, nor I don't

care how your brother distributes weapons with the network. It's none of my

business. Anyway, I'm not the one who will use all my strength to fight the

war."

"Aha...So?"

I was silent for a moment and

looked down at the mattress named Ilay lying under my body. He should have been

struggling like crazy with his wrists tied even though the image might not have

been so pleasing to the eye instead of lying calmly and unharmed like this, it

made me feel uncomfortable. It feels like this interrogation is getting more

and more off-track.

"If I were to strangle you

or put a knife to your chest in this state, would you have any way to fight

back?"

I asked, then raised my hand and

gently tapped his chin and chest with his fingers. Ilay pretended to think

seriously for a moment then finally shook his head.

"It'll be a bit difficult.

I'm still very sleepy and my body doesn't have enough strength for it anymore.

Besides, these aren't normal cuffs, are they?"

"But you're too easy-going,

aren't you?"

I was not satisfied at all, I

mumbled and grabbed Ilay's neck again.

He suddenly smiled and raised his

head a bit then leaned over and licked Taeui's wrist. I shivered, quickly

grasped my hand tightly, and took a deep breath. This feeling of being prey

being tasted by a wild animal...

Ilay smiled softly and lay down

on the pillow again.

"Let's see, I'm indeed a bit

easy-going. Why do I have to do this? I thought like that when I drank that

beer. Why do I have to turn a blind eye and drink it like that? Well, I wonder

what kind of trick you're planning."

Ilay retracted the smile on his

face for a moment, he expressionlessly looked at the ceiling and was lost in

thought, then occasionally laid his eyes as usual on me. But those unfathomable

black eyes still entered my sight, so scary, I couldn't help but chill down my

spine once again.

While looking intently at me, I

muttered "Why?" as if I was deep in thought but still didn't know

what to conclude. He suddenly looked annoyed and frowned as if some unforeseen

thoughts had just appeared in his mind, then he continued to move his wrist

again.

"What? If you want to play

wild, what are you waiting for? Take these handcuffs off now."

My chest seemed numb at his cold,

dissatisfied voice. For a brief moment, I even considered removing his

handcuffs to save my life.

"I don't like."

The moment i could respond with

those two words, I felt strangely happy. Perhaps aware that half of my life had

just been thrown away, my heartbeat became even faster when I saw his eyes that

were gradually becoming cold. Jeong Taeui couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ilay looked at me indifferently

without expression. He also smiled, but this smile also carried a cold mist.

"What else? You're very

brave, aren't you?"

"Don't be so angry, okay?

What's the point of tying your hands up a little? I mean, today no matter what,

I'm going to make it super hot for you to see."

Jeong Taeui on the outside poured

soft whispers into his ear, but on the inside. I clicked my tongue bitterly.

Saying those words myself felt so inappropriate. I originally intended to be

like him and say some meaningful threats, but because I had never done it

before, I couldn't say it.

"Ha ha. Hot? I'm looking

forward to it."

Ilay gently raised his eyebrows.

He pondered for a moment as if he didn't like it at all but had no other

choice. Maybe he was thinking, "If you take these handcuffs off, you're

dead to me."

But it didn't matter, by that

time I had already left this island and ran far away.
