I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Five days ago, everyone gathered in a room on the 23rd floor for the last meeting ahead of infiltrating the club. I opened my mouth to them.

“Of course, it would be nice to be able to get drugged alcohol without any other problems, but frankly speaking, that’s very unlikely.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was sitting opposite me, smiled brightly at my words.

“You are very proud to say that you are going to have an accident.”

“No, that… it’s right to turn it over if it’s wrong.”

“Of course, you had something in mind, right?”

“There is… please be quiet.”

I kept hitting candles in a serious mood. When I stared at him with irritation, Cheon Sa-yeon shrugged his shoulders lightly as if he understood. (진지한 분위기에 자꾸 초를 치고 있어)

“There’s only one situation where you don’t have to go and get out of here quietly. Paying for the drugs they sell.”

Min Ah-rin looked worried and nodded her head.

“Umm, it must be difficult if that’s the case.”

“Yes. If that’s the case, it’s good for us. If it’s a product for sale, they will check whether the liquid in the bottle is a drug or not.”

But it was hard to expect that. Therefore, we had to be prepared for other situations.

“If the club doesn’t hand over drugs, gets suspicious, or we meet a member of the Praus Cult… I think it will be difficult to end it quietly.”

“As expected.”

“Yes. In particular, when identity is discovered, drugs must be secured, even if we’re using force. There won’t be another chance.”

Park Geon-ho, who was immersed in thought while touching his lips, and Woo Seo-hyuk, who stood behind him, nodded at my explanation.

“I agree. If they notice any movement to catch the drug, they will disappear immediately.”

“That’s right. So you have to be prepared.”

I continued speaking while holding the wristwatch that Cheon Sa-yeon had handed over to me with a location tracker.

“If we decide to fight, I will point out the time. ‘It’s eleven o’clock in 30 minutes.’ Like this.”

Park Geon-ho quickly understood what I was saying.

“You mean you’re going to start fighting at eleven?”

“Right. I don’t think I can say it because the enemy is nearby or they may be eavesdropped. And Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”

I handed over the watch to Cheon Sa-yeon and asked.

“Can you add just one simple device here?”

“A simple device. What do you want?”

“When you press a button, a signal goes somewhere else or something like that.”

“You won’t have enough time to do all three, one might be enough.”

“One is enough. If we infiltrate the club and give you a signal, please report it to the police and rescue teams as soon as possible. We need to evacuate people before the building collapses in battle.”

Park Geon-ho, who was listening to the conversation between me and Cheon Sa-yeon, said.

“Then I do the signalling.”

“After we send the signal, we will take as much time as possible so that the rescue team can arrive.”

In that way, it was decided that the watch that could send the signal was Park Geon-ho’s and the word that signalled to start was from me.

After that, I continued to look at the situation even after arriving at the club and meeting Lee Soo-jin. I made a decision after seeing the new product test proposal and going up to the ground instead of underground.

“It’s already past two o’clock. It’s getting boring, so let’s go out as soon as we get some alcohol.”

Park Geon-ho, knowing the meaning of my words, quietly pressed an additional button on the watch in the elevator. The people waiting for us in Requiem would see the signal and report it instead.

40 minutes had passed since I arrived in this room. Checking the time passed 2:10, I slowly raised the corners of my mouth and smiled.

“If you don’t want to get hurt, surrender quietly.”

At my words, Lee Soo-jin’s face distorted and shouted fiercely.

“Ha…! I really didn’t think… are you really a police officer?”

“Something similar?”

As the strength of the wind increased, things began to roll around in the room as if a typhoon was coming. Lee Soo-jin, who was swaying in the strong wind, shouted.

“Do you think we called you all the way up to here stupidly? Doctor!”

Doctor, who touched the slightly misaligned mask with his large hand, lowered the red lever on the wall with an annoyed expression.

Kugugung! The building resounded strongly and a loud beep sounded. Woo Seo-hyuk and Park Geon-ho, who had better hearing than me because they were S-rank, informed me.

“They are coming towards the hallway.”

“The number is about seven. More may come.”

“It would be nice to knock them all out, but if the situation is difficult, you’ve already got the alcohol, so it’s okay to run away as much as possible.”

Park Geon-ho, who took out an iron ball from his pants pocket, smiled and raised his hand. He could only bring about 20 of them due to the limitations of the clothes, so we had to use them carefully.

“Then let’s take care of it quickly and get out.”

The iron ball bounced off a long finger and flew precisely between Doctor and Lee Soo-jin.

“Ugh, fuck it!”

Lee Soo-jin, who didn’t miss the tension, quickly flew to the floor to avoid the explosion of the iron ball. On the other hand, Doctor had something transparent protecting his body from the explosion.

He must be using a shield item.

Unlike Lee Soo-jin, the relaxed Doctor was constantly keeping his eyes on me. He must know that things were getting weird, how could he be so calm?

‘There’s definitely something.’

In the meantime, the sound of dozens of footsteps was getting closer and closer to the point where I could hear it now. While Park Geon-ho threw the iron ball, Woo Seo-hyuk stepped back and started transforming.

The white shirt he was wearing couldn’t keep up as his body swelled and tore. His arms were dyed black and he grew enormously, even his body became so huge that it was incomparable to when he was a human.

Growl! In an instant, Woo Seo-hyuk, who turned into a black wolf, showed his fangs the size of my forearm and let out a beast cry. It had been a long time since I saw that.

“Please stand back, Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi.”

As soon as I finished my words, the thick iron door that had been locked swung open and the guards rushed in.

Judging by the energy I felt, there was no A-rank or higher, but I had to be careful because there were many and I didn’t know the opponent’s abilities. Woo Seo-hyuk, who understood what I meant, swung his tail once.

Kugung! Thud!

The additional iron balls that Park Geon-ho blasted continued to explode. As all the bottles in the box were shattered and the floor was wet, a fire spread through them.

“Keuk…”

Lee Soo-jin, who was swept away by the explosion and hit her head as the blood dripped from her forehead, glared at me fiercely. I looked at it calmly and turned my gaze to Doctor.

Doctor, who tore the sanitary apron he was wearing with his bare hands like torn paper and threw it on the floor, opened his mouth with a hissing and harsh breathing.

“It’s a total mess.”

The alarm and screams of the guards facing Woo Seo-hyuk were loudly heard behind my back. I asked Doctor, controlling the fire with the wind so that it didn’t reach us.

“You, are you a member of the Praus Cult?”

It was better to ask the question openly because he didn’t seem like a person who could talk back or threaten. Then Doctor giggled and laughed as if he had heard a very funny joke.

“Are you a member of the Praus Cult? Ah, damn it.”

“……”

“Hey, are you that kid, aren’t you?”

He continued talking as if it didn’t matter what I said.

“Wind ability, wind. Fuck. No wonder I smelled like it was going to be really fun! Ya, do you know how much we struggled to find one bastard?”

“……”

“Where have you been hiding? Ong? Ah… no, no. All right. This is enough for today.”

Suddenly, a black marble appeared in the air and was placed on Doctor’s hand. It was an item that appeared in the inventory.

“Wait…!”

I realized that it was the same item that Samael used in the raid on the guild management headquarters and I quickly gathered the wind, but the opponent was faster.

“Then see you next time.”

The marble that quickly fell to the floor turned into liquid and a huge hole formed and swallowed Doctor’s body. I clicked my tongue in annoyance because I barely caught him. He did planning on doing this from the beginning. Even so, it would be difficult for us to prevent it if he escaped in that way.

“Kwon Se-hyun!”

Park Geon-ho shouted as he strongly kicked the guard who was running towards me.

“Let’s go out of here. The fire is spreading faster than expected because of alcohol.”

“All right.”

Park Geon-ho was right. Thinking about missing Doctor later, now was the time to move. I hurriedly ran into the room and checked the condition of the woman imprisoned.

‘Fortunately, she is breathing properly.’

With my ability, I opened the iron bars and released everything that was holding the woman’s body. When I lifted her carefully, the signs of suffering for a long time were evident and the woman, who drank drugs, wasn’t able to come to her senses and drooped.

“Please take care of her.”

I handed the woman over to Park Geon-ho and turned my body toward Lee Soo-jin. Lee Soo-jin, who was barely standing up and leaning against the wall, forced a smile as I approached.

“Damn it, that’s why… I didn’t want to get involved… Doctor, this son of a…”

Abandoned by her colleague, Lee Soo-jin looked so bad that she would faint at any moment. The amount of blood flowing down her forehead was much greater than before. I looked at it and pondered.

‘I have to take her.’

The room was already full of blazing fire. If we left her as it was, she wouldn’t be able to get out and she would die or be seriously injured. Even if it wasn’t, we must go together to interrogate her.

I quietly opened my mouth because I didn’t want to do anything that violently assaulted the opponent who was about to pass out.

“Stop trying and get good sleep, won’t you? I’ll take you out of here.”

“Haha… driving me crazy.”

“If you drag on more, you’re the one who will regret it. Do you want to burn to death in a place like this?”

At my words, Lee Soo-jin bit her lip. I looked at her slow blinking eyes as if couldn’t stand it any longer.

“Stop being stubborn.”

So annoying. I sighed and stood a certain distance away from Lee Soo-jin. I couldn’t get close to her because I didn’t know what her ability was.

“Fuck!”

As if she was about to collapse, Lee Soo-jin, who had been struggling, suddenly flashed her eyes and ran toward me.

Tak! I grabbed Lee Soo-jin’s swaying wrist at once.

“Ugh…!”

In Lee Soo-jin’s hand, there was one of the syringes lying on the iron table earlier. A force was applied to her trembling wrists as she let out a scream and dropped her syringe.

“Is it a drug?”

Wasn’t it all in the bottle? In this mess, I found something that didn’t break easily.

“Now stop…”

As I spoke, a creepy sensation passed near my neck. As soon as I swallowed a gasp and hurriedly turned my upper body, I felt a stinging pain in my shoulder.

“…yes, it’s drugs.”

I saw a syringe that flew alone in the air stuck in my shoulder. The liquid in the syringe was pushed into my body. This, no way…

‘A telekinetic person?’

Lee Soo-jin was one of the few with the telekinetic ability not only in Korea but also in the world?

Lee Su-jin smiled as if it was refreshing to see me distort my face in frustration.

“It’s a drug with nothing mixed in it! Haha, you’ve searched for it just now, cough! Uugh…”

Lee Soo-jin, who was talking while panting her breath, couldn’t finish her words and passed out.

“……”

I swallowed dry saliva and calmly pulled the syringe. My eyes widened.
