"I'm hungry."The man muttered with a pale face. Despite his soft voice, his pupils were dilated.Mr. Jeong took a step back and examined his body. He didn't seem seriously injured. He was simply covered in blood."What about Muhae?"At the question, Joo-oh blinked, his eyes narrowed for a moment, then opened again. He licked his lower lip a couple of times, as if thirsty."The bad guys were chasing Jin Muhae."The stammered words held significance. Of course, with that pungent smell emanating from him, whatever had happened, it couldn't have been peaceful."Weren't you with Jin Muhae?""No."At least that was fortunate. If Muhae hadn't gotten involved in something troublesome, then that was fine.By the way, if there's no visible bleeding, but he's covered in blood, how much of an injury must he have suffered?Did he manage to escape after losing that much blood? Or rather, was he still alive?"Where did you put the body?"An ominous feeling doesn't lie. Red eyes flickered to Teacher Jeong at the direct question.Zoo, breathing irregularly as if holding something back, finally answered slowly after a long moment."I put it well. But I tore it a little.""..."Oh dear. Who would have thought he'd really mutilated someone? I secretly hoped it was a mistake...Moreover, his expression was blatantly chilling. He didn't "throw it away," but "placed it." If he'd torn it a little, did he dismember the body and divide it up somewhere?"I'm hungry..."I wanted to ask more, but Zoo didn't seem to be in a normal state. His face was now blank, and he was swallowing hard.Mr. Jeong stared at him silently, arms crossed, then gestured toward the hallway at the edge. Entering that corridor led to the private kitchen and bedroom.He must have understood the message, "Find your own food." He licked his lips with a hazy expression and turned around.Crunch! Crunch!Crunch! Gulp.Soon, the sound of diligent chewing and swallowing filled the quiet house.Prepared vegetables, portioned meat, unroasted nuts, and granola. Joo-oh emptied Mr. Jeong's refrigerator and cupboards.At least a week's worth of food disappeared into the bloodied man's mouth. Despite the horrifying situation, I wasn't particularly scared because I was certain Joo-oh wouldn't hurt me.Living in a neighborhood like this, you come to set your safety standards at your own personal level. Even if a serial killer stood before you with a knife, you were safe if he didn't intend to harm you.Ju-oh always treated him with one-sided affection, and rarely did anything Jin Mu-hae would dislike. So, even Teacher Jeong didn't need to make a fuss."Um. There's no more meat."Only when the refrigerator was empty did Ju-oh's pale face slowly regain its composure.His eyes, which had been wandering for a moment, shifted to Teacher Jeong. Ju-oh met his gaze, then raised his index finger, covered in grain crumbs.Shhh. He whispered earnestly."Jin Mu-hae can't know.""Well, if you followed that guy, it's your own business, so shouldn't you know?""Then you'll get in trouble. It'll be sad if Jin Mu-hae doesn't come to me. Okay?"Height: 178cm, exceeding the maximum muscle and joint function test. Muhae, who was thin but had a distinct bone structure and treated a seemingly mature man like a child, would certainly be surprised if he knew about this.Furthermore, the method of disposing of the corpse he had implicitly mentioned was quite extreme. Jinmuhae wasn't a pushover, but hunting wild beasts and harming and disposing of people were two completely different things. It was obvious he would be shocked.But that didn't justify coming here so early in the morning."Why did you bother coming here?""Master Jeong has the strongest heart. That's why it's okay."As he spoke, Joo-oh glanced in one direction. It was the direction of the bed.Master Jeong had previously created a secret space under the bed and hidden the weapon Central hadn't recovered.While his head had turned in that direction, it was pure coincidence, but his air of knowing something was strangely unsettling.Ododok. Joo-oh ate the remaining nuts in one bite. With all the expensive food being stolen in one go, Mr. Jeong couldn't even muster a good word."Muhae doesn't give you food?""No. He does... But, it was really hard holding back earlier.""Hold it?"What kind of holding back is he supposed to be after already killing someone?Considering that this was all for Muhae, it wouldn't be unforgivable, but the way his pupils constantly dilated and constricted was enough to make anyone watching feel uneasy.I don't know what he's so excited about. Whew. Joo-oh sighed, as if he was struggling himself, and he hesitantly approached Mr. Jeong.Then, taking note of his reaction, he poked his head in slightly."What? You want me to pat you?""Huh. That's not what I said?"He was completely blind. Did someone warn him not to say such things?The man smiled, delighted, as if he thought I'd used my wits.A bit of blood was clotted on his head, but it was still there. Mr. Jeong stroked his black hair.And then, surprisingly, Joo-oh's condition, which had seemed precarious, visibly improved.The glare that had gleamed whenever someone touched him faded. His lips twitched less, his head nods stopped glaring, and he finally let out a pleasant laugh, calming himself down."Mu-hae won't say anything about this.""I like Mr. Jeong too. But I like Jin-mu-hae better, so it's okay.""What's so okay about that?" Joo-oh rubbed his cheek against the stranger's hand, savoring the warmth, and smiled contentedly.No matter how you looked at it, it was more like a wild animal than a human. Apparently, the claim that he'd been picked up from the outside wasn't true."Change your clothes and go. The blood will be obvious when it's daylight.""I don't have any clothes.""I'll give you some, so go in and wash and change. Drop off the dirty ones here.""It's okay. I have a place to put them."He didn't even have a bag to carry, so where to put them? Was he planning to dump them in the same place as the body?He couldn't let evidence remain. If Joo-oh was arrested for such a heinous crime, the innocent people he'd been with would also suffer."It's an exchange. If you don't give me the clothes I was wearing, I can't give you new ones."In his unfamiliar life as a doctor, he was used to dealing with crazy people and children.When Dr. Jeong skillfully got # Nоvеlight # to his level, Joo-oh nodded and went into the bathroom.For about 20 minutes, Dr. Jeong tidied up the messy house and placed his clothes, stiff from half-dried blood, in the medical waste bin.Just in case, he checked every nook and cranny using the unauthorized CCTV installed around the house to see if anyone had followed him. He sent Muhae a meaningless message, confirming he was still asleep.“What about my clothes?”He briefly checked the body of the man who had emerged wearing only a towel. As expected, he was surprisingly free of even a scratch.Come to think of it, even when Jin Muhae had just brought him in, he had only torn his clothes here and there, but not a single scratch.He just thought he was lucky, but now he was starting to get a little suspicious.“Do you know who’s chasing Muhae?”“Yeah. But it’s okay. I won’t get angry.”There was no way a dead man could get angry. Mr. Jeong quickly realized who was behind it.“Should I know?”He asked, tentatively probing whether he had anything to do with the return trip.Did he understand this? The eyes that met his gaze were clearer than before.“Hmm. Jin Muhae won’t like it.”It was an ambiguous answer, making it difficult to determine if he truly understood his intentions. However, Joo-oh seemed to know who was behind Jin Muhae’s pursuit and what he wanted.He was even able to discern Muhae’s intentions. As expected, considering he was simply a loose-knit person, Joo-oh had a pretty good grasp of things.“Want to wear a hat?”“A hat?”“Jin Muhae told me not to pretend to sleep while standing up.”Of course, it was true that Muhae was in a very strange state, just as he’d been feeling aggrieved.Teacher Jeong searched through the closet and placed an unused cap on his head.Joo-oh pulled it down low enough to cover his eyebrows and stared into space for a long moment.Then he smiled brightly and waved.“The peanuts were delicious.”“Almonds.”"I'll eat it again later.""Next time, I'll charge Muhae."When he vanished as quickly as he had appeared, Mr. Jeong felt as if he'd just been in a dream.* * *WELCOME TO LA VIDA :)~Year 211, Day 15~[Quest]* Main Quest> Tutorial (Complete)> CHAPTER 1 (Complete)> CHAPTER 2☞ The Person in Charge of the Past Reform (Complete)- Planned Work √- DIY 777 √- Blue Not Vlue √- Planned Hero √- Sewer Exploration √- One to Replace Four √☞ Cooperation Across the Sea (In Progress)- Letter from the Past √- Golden Remnants[Golden Remnants]My father's research also reached Solar City.Where did the survivors of the destroyed city disappear to?
