Chapter 231: Decision 2
"Did you find out who posted about the novice online?" Junhyuk asked while taking a seat on the chair.
Suddenly, the screen displayed the profile of a short-haired man.
"Sungju Kim. A soph.o.m.ore at Dosung University. Age: 23..."
Junhyuk touched his chin and looked at the picture.
"Can I read what he posted about the power?"
Ganesha displayed a simple statement on screen.
[You can"t get away from me. I have the power to restrain you.]
Junhyuk frowned and asked, "This look rather dangerous, doesn"t it?"
Junhyuk wanted those who activated powers to join him, but Sungju sounded dangerous and unstable.
"How about his position or location?" he asked.
[Right now, his phone is turned off.]
"From when?"
[The statement was posted a couple of hours ago, and the cell phone got turned off an hour ago.]
Today was Monday, and Sungju must"ve returned on Friday. What was he thinking? Sungju could"ve caused trouble with his power on that same Friday.
"Ganesha, can you check for more of his writing online and the messages on his phone?" Junhyuk asked.
[Already did.]
The screen displayed the cell phone messages, and Junhyuk was able to guess at his state of mind.
"He the same number thirty times, but the person didn"t pick up."
The situation had become clear to him.
"Show me the information on the person he called."
A woman"s face appeared on the screen, along with her profile.
"Eunkyung Choi. Dosung University"s Queen."
Considering the messages, Sungju was stalking her. He hadn"t known how she would treat him in real life, but now that he had been to the Dimensional Battlefield, he understood the overall situation.
He had called her many times, but the woman didn"t pick up. Considering his phone was turned off, Junhyuk concluded Sungju was missing, "Where is Eunkyung?"
[She"s at Dosung University.]
Junhyuk took some time to think. Zaira had to know about that situation. Doyeol must have wanted Sungju, but Sungju was dangerous.
"Let"s go."
Junhyuk decided to meet Sungju first and make a decision after meeting him. He was getting ready to leave when Sungtae came in and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Keep an eye on this place. I"ll get in touch through Ganesha."
"Sure."
Junhyuk b.u.mped into Daesan Kang outside. He greeted him, and Junhyuk asked, "Can I borrow your car?"
"I"ll drive you."
Junhyuk shook his head.
"I don"t trust you for that just yet. Just lend me your car."
Daesan gave him the car keys, and Junhyuk went to the parking lot to look for it.
"That"s a very cool car."
It was a Range Rover from Land Rover. Junhyuk was fond of luxury SUVs. He like it more than his Tiguan.
"Let"s go."
He entered the address for Dosung University on the GPS and used the app on his cell phone to communicate with Ganesha.
"Ganesha, if Eunkyung"s cell phone"s location changes, let me know."
[She is inside Dosung University.]
"OK."
He doesn"t know Sungju"s particular power, but he didn"t think it would kill him. Even if he had an attack power, Junhyuk had fought heroes before. He was not going there as the Dark Knight, so some damage might get through. However, Junhyuk was planning to summon all of the necessary equipment.
Doyeol might have already sent R-agents in, so Junhyuk had to be careful.
He slammed on the accelerator.
---
Dosung University.
The university was located at the edge of Seoul, but still within the city. They accepted good students with good grades. When Junhyuk entered it, he checked for Eunkyung"s location.
[The east building has a large lecture hall. She"s in there.]
He scouted the parking lot and parked far from it. There were three black vans parked there.
Seeing them, Junhyuk summoned some of his equipment, including the two arm warmers. He walked slowly.
"Can you control the CCTV cameras around here?" he asked Ganesha.
[I can.]
"Find out if someone else has access to it."
[Two other teams accessing the feeds.]
"Make sure they don"t know about us."
[Certainly.]
Then, he heard Sungtae"s voice saying, "I"ll support you. Don"t worry about it."
He knew how good of a hacker Sungtae was. If Sungtae worked with Ganesha, even Zaira wouldn"t know what was happening.
"OK. Send the CCTV feeds to my cell phone."
After watching them, he decided to go into the lecture hall. He teleported twice to enter. Once there, he pressed his back against the wall and asked, "Can you see Eunkyung?"
[I put her on screen.]
Junhyuk saw the woman"s face on his cell phone. She was eating snacks with her friends.
"Run all of the feeds through my phone."
Every feed appeared on his cell phone. Most of them showed ordinary students, but there were some of men wearing suits.
"Thanks."
They were probably R-agents. They are wearing suits and divided in teams of two agents each.
"If you find Sungju, let me know," Junhyuk said.
There was no guarantee that Sungju would be there, but the possibility of it was very high. If not, the R-agents wouldn"t be there.
Junhyuk walked slowly. Others had access to the CCTV feeds, and he guessed that it was Zaira and Doyeol. Elise was on Doyeol"s side, but she acted independently sometimes. Junhyuk was walking while dodging the cameras when he heard Ganesha.
[A hooded man appeared on the third floor. He"s moving while trying to avoid the cameras, but his build matches Sungju"s.]
"OK. What about the others?"
[The men in black suits are moving to the third floor.]
"Where is Eunkyung?"
[Fourth floor.]
"Good."
Junhyuk started to move again and asked, "Can you turn off the CCTV cameras momentarily?"
[It"s possible.]
"On my signal turn, them off."
[But I won"t be able to guide you after that.]
"I don"t care."
Junhyuk looked up. The R-agents were moving quickly.
"Now!"
The cell phone feed turned off along with the CCTVs, and Junhyuk took off running. He would use his teleportation only when necessary, which he thought it would be because he didn"t want to kill the R-agents.
On the stairs, he frowned. He saw an agent blocking his path. There were five other agents that he could see, but there were many more within the building.
He engaged. Junhyuk extended his hand, but the R-agent blocked his advanced and tried to punch him. He had used his hand as a feint, however, and pulled the agent to himself, headb.u.t.ting the agent.
Crack!
He broke the R-agents nose and elbowed his neck, leaving him with one health. Then, he slammed the agent on the ground and left.
There were five agents remaining on the fourth floor. Sungju might be captured by them first, but it seemed like his objective was to get to Eunkyung. Junhyuk walked fast.
Sungju opened the door to the room where Eunkyung was. Eunkyung was inside talking to someone, and the R-agents sped up to get to her as well.
Junhyuk walked even faster.
"You just played me!" rang the voice of a man.
A loud scream came from the room, and the agents went inside. Junhyuk watched from the door. He could see blue chains wrapped around Eunkyung.
The women were screaming, and Sungju was staring at the R-agents.
They tried to tase him, but Sungju wasn"t an easy opponent. He dodged their attacks.
Meanwhile, Junhyuk looked at Eunkyung chained up. She was bleeding from her mouth, and her health was at zero. She was already dead.
Even the most basic damage would kill ordinary people, so Junhyuk watched Sungju dodging the agents. He was running wild.
The R-agents were equipped with Taser guns, but they weren"t enough this time. Sungju extended his hand out suddenly, and the blue chains wrapped around an R-agent and slammed him against the wall.
Junhyuk saw the R-agents health pool empty even though the agent had more health than ordinary people. The damage of Sungju"s attack was still able to kill him. His goal was to kill the agents, and Junhyuk frowned.
There was madness in Sungju"s eyes. He was not himself after coming back from the Dimensional Battlefield. He was using his power to kill people.
JUnhyuk was very calm.
Sungju couldn"t be an ally. He was too dangerous.
The R-agents continued to attack him, but Sungju threw his chains against him. Sungju didn"t have any equipment, and he couldn"t fight evenly against the well-trained agents, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
The agents closed in on him and pulled out their batons, but Sungju was moving erratically. An agent rolled closer to him, and Sungju stepped back, but he was cornered. All of the R-agents went at him at the same time, but Sungju smiled and extended his hand forward. The blue chains wrapped around an agent"s neck, arm and legs, slamming him back.
The other R-agents were also slammed against the wall. The first agent died, and the other agents couldn"t move.
Sungju picked up a baton from the ground and walked to the surviving agents.
"f.u.c.k! Who the f.u.c.k are you?!"
Sungju was about to strike the R-agents with the baton when someone grabbed his arm.
"That"s enough."
