There Is No Salvation for Extras

66 – Same purpose, different goals (1)

“Sorry, I’m late!”

When Eugene hurriedly opens the door and comes in apologizing, the eyes of those sitting in the conference room gather in one place.

“What? What’s that like?”

“Ah… I was interrogating the evil brigade guys below.”

“Then take a shower and come back. I have a child… Ugh, the smell of blood.”

“I’m sorry…”

His entire body was covered in blood, and he was still holding on to the dagger he was holding. Eun-ji, who was watching the scene, sighed heavily, grabbed her nose, and grimaced. Eugene smiled bitterly, threw the dagger outside the door, and laughed awkwardly.

“Sister, are you sick?”

“No, it’s not my blood… It’s a little uncomfortable, but it’s okay.”

The little girl sitting on Zero’s lap – Eugene shaking her head and smiling as Su-ah looks at her with worried eyes. She was contemplating whether to wash up and come home, wondering if she had come to a place where there were small children like this.

“Yep.”

“…Waaah.”

When Su-ah lifted her hand up and saw the blood stuck to her body instantly fly through the air and form her sphere, her eyes lit up in admiration.

“Are you okay now?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

“hehehehe…”

Suah smiles brightly as she strokes her head. Using her ability, the girl became more and more compressed, and she moved the hardened blood in front of her, which turned into a bead and began to roll and play with it.

“…Why did you bring him into the conference room? Isn’t he still too young?”

“I know you. Zero brought me here.”

Eugene quietly sat down and looked around her neatly trimmed body. She soon asked her Sanghoon, who was yawning repeatedly as if he was tired from her move, but he also shrugged his shoulders.

“Isn’t it obvious just by looking at it? That weak-hearted bastard had no choice but to bring him in because he didn’t want to leave.”

“I guess that’s right. Look at his expression.”

Zero is flustered, not knowing what to do, and Sua is hugging him tightly and laughing as if she likes him. Is it because she is in the same situation? Everyone who saw Su-ah following Zero exceptionally well smiled, and soon Eun-ji and Sang-hoon were guessing that the picture was being drawn, even though they didn’t know the details –

“Are you all here?”

“The boss is the last one.”

“I was brought here by Eugene. Anyway, then the meeting begins.”

When the door opened and Hyunwoo came in, the noisy conference room instantly became quiet, and those who seemed annoyed started to focus with their eyes shining.

“So, what kind of meeting is this?”

“It’s not much, I have to choose one of three options, but I’m not sure.”

“Choice? What is it?”

Suah tilts her head to the words of Hyunwoo, who sits down and grumbles.

“…Why did you come?”

“Follow my brother!”

“I see… Anyway, I called you because I thought it was the right choice for you.”

When Zero stares at him, he shakes his head in cold sweat. Hyunwoo, who was looking at him like that, smiled and turned to everyone –

“…What choice is it?”

“There is something that looks like a trap at first glance. Should I just ignore it and move on, or should I rush in and destroy the trap or something, or should I look for an opportunity and just grab the meat and jump out?”

“The first would be best, but the boss wouldn’t want that, right?”

“I guess so.”

It seems like she is trying to judge by listening to their opinions, but Eun-ji, who has been watching their boss do crazy things up until now, understands his intentions and sighs.

“If we let go, it will be harder to destroy the evil brigade?”

“That’s right. Then of course it’s not the third one, right? I don’t even know what the trap is, so what if they infiltrate it?”

“Really? Then the others-“

“I think that’s good too.”

“Me too.”

“Well, it’s decided, right?”

While everyone is immediately answering and nodding their heads, Hyunwoo smiles grimly for some reason.

“Then, let’s start with assassination – shall we now listen to my plan?”

“…I think it’s already been decided?”

“Is that possible? I expected it, but honestly, if I had chosen a different path, I would have chosen that path.”

“That must have been so bad.”

“I don’t believe this. Anyway, my plan is-“

Because he knew that they would respond like this in the first place and that he had summoned them to spread his plan. And because I knew that the plan was always irrational and fraught with risk-

“That’s all, do you have any questions?”

“I want to take a vacation and run away.”

“Write it down or leave.”

“Ugh… That’s it. So, what’s the date?”

“The date is-“

Eunji looked at everyone whose faces became more and more thoughtful as they listened to his explanation, and then looked at Hyunwoo, who continued to explain excitedly – and sighed again.

Royal Opera House located in the center of Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do. This place is usually crowded with people, but today there was an unusually large crowd of people.

The reason was that I came to see none other than Jo Yu-mi’s opera. So, if you were to ask whether all these people came to see the performance, the answer would be half right and half wrong. To begin with, it wasn’t a space large enough to fit so many people. But-

I will love you for the rest of my life-

Even though they were not allowed inside, they were all sitting outside on mats, or in their cars, with the windows open, just listening as if fascinated by the voices echoing from inside the opera house.

“Wow, that’s creepy.”

Han-gyeol, looking at the scene, felt goosebumps forming on his body and trembled.

“Goosebumps? Why?”

“No, just…”

So-ah looked back at him and asked, but Han-gyeol kept his mouth shut and just shook his head, still rubbing his forearms with both hands.

“The song is definitely creepy. You’re really good at it, right?”

“hahahahaha… Right?”

When Hyuna guessed his behavior, he smiled and nodded even though it wasn’t true.

How can I say this? The fact that he is now suspicious of Yumi. And when I took a strange look at the singing voice that I admired and praised every day, I realized that the sight I saw could not be so creepy.

I just sing. But look at the way people are gaping with their mouths open, as if they are possessed. If that isn’t an ability, or even if it is an ability – wouldn’t it be the same as dominating other people just by speaking out once?

I wish the guesses I had made so far were my own mistakes. So wouldn’t he be able to end up taking responsibility, even if it might get him into a bit of trouble? Hangyeol, who was thinking that, looked around from the rooftop of the opera house building and smiled bitterly.

“-It’s peaceful.”

The surrounding scene is so peaceful. No villains appeared. Unlike the previous performances they had raided, there was no trace of them, not even a trace of their noses. The other heroes were relieved and smiling at that fact, but Hangyeol felt his stomach burn.

“…So peaceful.”

If his thoughts are true – if the reason she continues to show interest in him is because she is trying to dominate him like the people he sees in his field of vision, then what kind of behavior will she show?

-For those with mental abilities, most of them have quite a few restrictions, right?

-Like the teacher?

-That’s right. In most cases, it doesn’t work even if the level is similar to that of other abilities. However, if there is an exception-

“Lowers one’s guard by gaining favor. It is very easy to put one’s power on the line with someone who trusts oneself.”

He already knew the answer. That’s probably why I’m so upset.

“Hangyeol!”

“…Uh, why?”

“Why? The performance is over now, so I should go down quickly.”

“Ah.”

The performance ended without anything happening. That means he has to meet her right away and-

“Okay, I have to go.”

“Today ended without incident. Are you all going to go home? Should we go get something to eat before we go?”

“I pass.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Because I have an appointment.”

Because it meant she had to fit in to go shopping on her own.

“A promise? A promise?! With whom?”

“Who could it be?”

“…No way, with Yumi-“

“No way… hahahaha.”

Hangyeol responded to their words and without even having time to worry about their reactions, he sighed heavily and started trudging down the stairs.

“…That’s it, right?”

“Hangyeol may not know, but I’m sure. It’s clear that Yumi asked her out.”

Hangyeol made an appointment with Yumi. Of course, if you look at the reason for that promise, there were extremely complicated circumstances – but there was no way the other students knew about it.

“That cat thief is really…!”

“What should I do?”

“Whatever, I have to follow!”

Is it true that the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Hyun-ah and So-ah looked at him in contemplation, then looked at each other and nodded, then started talking and secretly making plans –

“What does the life of a truly popular person feel like?”

“Are you curious?”

“Is that possible?”

Injun muttered at the sight, but when Yena returned with a question, she immediately broke into a cold sweat and shook her head.

I’m not sure if Han-gyeol is a villain or not, but I’m half-confident based on his intuition and various clues. While he approaches Yumi to find out the truth, other heroes interpret his actions differently and move on.

As such a peaceful day passes by –

“Are you here?”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work on the performance.”

“Ah, of course I have to do it. Well, nothing much happened, right?”

“Yes. Nothing much happened. Of course there was no attack.”

“Really? Then-“

After the performance, Hangyeol and Yumi met and looked at each other and smiled.

“Are you going to keep your promise?”
