Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 160

< 160. A Possible Three-Way Confrontation… >

After finishing his words, the team leader looked around and asked,

“Who wants to go?”

Including her, there were a total of six people in the room.

Even though they were going to catch a Demon, it was still a bit *b 부담스러워* [burdensome] with so many demons watching.

Demons were capricious, but they hated Nakru, so they might interfere.

They wouldn’t go while advertising, ‘We are Nakru,’ but there was a high possibility of being discovered during the fight.

Because it was a dangerous situation in many ways, she considered the possibility that there would be no volunteers.

However, as soon as she asked the question, Undushin immediately raised his hand.

“Me!”

He shouted spiritedly, lifting his top halfway to point to the still heavily bandaged wound.

“I have to get proper revenge for making me look like this!”

It was a spirited statement, but all he got in return was Woosungwoo’s mockery.

“You almost died even with a healthy body, what revenge are you talking about?”

“Can’t you just say I was careless?”

“Whether you were careless or not, you had a healthy body. If it weren’t for my brother, things would have been much worse.”

“That’s true. How can your brother and you be so different in personality?”

“You’re the first person I’ve ever seen who says my brother has a better personality than me, no exaggeration.”

The team leader threw a cushion between Woosungwoo and Undushin, who were constantly bickering.

“Stop fighting.”

The rapid back-and-forth of accusations paused for a moment.

The team leader, thinking it was much better, pondered for a moment before speaking to Undushin.

“Undushin, you’re going to get hospitalized again as soon as you get discharged, so don’t go.”

Undushin made a face at the words that confirmed his hospitalization.

“Why do you keep doing this to me!”

Conversely, a satisfied sneer appeared on Woosungwoo’s lips.

“Because you’re the weakest. Team Leader, really. Why do you even think about saying that?”

The team leader glared at Woosungwoo as if he was annoying and handed over the corporate card.

“For the sake of the world. Go and come back. Stop teasing him.”

“For the sake of the world. He’s not a kid.”

Rembrary briefly pressed the power button on his phone to check the time.

‘I wonder if Daeju has arrived by now……’

Yesterday, Rembrary had asked Tiger Head to stay there for the time being.

Tiger Head readily agreed and went straight to the police station. Probably.

However, Tiger Head didn’t have a phone, so he was frustrated because he couldn’t know how things were going, whether it was resolved well, whether Daeju had arrived, what Daeju was going to do, or whether there was a way to revert the criminal to his original state.

The reason his body was stuck to the sofa and wouldn’t move was because the frustrating worries were too heavy.

However, Taein, unaware of this, didn’t like Rembrary sticking to the sofa and kicked his leg as he passed by, not hard enough to hurt.

“Stop lazing around and think about the lyrics? Your only good skill is using your brain, so use it.”

“I’m thinking. I’m doing this because I’m thinking.”

“Not at all. You just look like you’re playing.”

“I’m having deeper *고민* [worries] than anyone else, with this brain.”

Rembrary, speaking sharply, was about to lift his phone again to check the time out of habit, when-

Suddenly, Cow Head appeared through the wall.

Surprised, Rembrary headbutted Cow Head hard with his forehead.

[Aigo. Aigo. Aigo. Um-meh hurts. Um-meh hurts.]

Cow Head grabbed his forehead and rolled around.

Taein, unaware that there was a Demon there, kicked the body as he passed by, barely managing to keep his balance.

“What? What’s there?”

He looked around, but when he couldn’t see anything, Taein continued to pass by.

‘Ignorance is bliss.’

Rembrary thought as he watched Cow Head glaring at Taein’s back with a fierce snort.

In any case, he couldn’t let Cow Head harm his member [bandmate].

Rembrary signaled Cow Head to follow him and went ahead into the room he used with Jungseo.

As soon as Cow Head followed him in, Rembrary closed the door and asked.

“Why did you come?”

Cow Head, who had been headbutted by Rembrary and kicked by Taein as soon as he arrived, suddenly remembered his errand and jumped up.

[I came because I have something to say!]

“What is it?”

[Humans went to catch the tiger. The humans who attacked Um-meh went to catch the tiger!]

“Humans? Nakru?”

Cow Head nodded his head quickly.

[Yes. That’s the name!]

“To the police station?”

Rembrary asked in surprise.

“Those people went to the police station?”

It was dangerous for Nakru to go to the police station now.

Wasn’t Tiger Head at the police station under his orders to watch over the criminal?

Cow Head’s words fit the situation perfectly.

“Are you sure Nakru went there? How did you know?”

[To take revenge! No, that’s not it. I had nothing to do. I had nothing to do, so I chased after those guys! To take revenge! No, no.]

After being chased by Nakru repeatedly, he must have been waiting to make a preemptive strike this time.

Cow Head looked at Rembrary and pitifully pleaded again.

[Help me. Help me. Tiger is a gentleman. That guy is a gentleman.]

Rembrary felt uncomfortable when the Demon clung to his leg asking for help, so he flicked Cow Head’s plump crown.

[Aya. Aya. Aya. Why are you hitting me? Why are you hitting me?]

Cow Head grabbed his head and made a sobbing sound.

Rembrary crossed his arms and sighed.

Not because of Cow Head, but because of Tiger Head.

Helping Demons wasn’t a major task as a high priest…… but it was also unsettling not to help when he had instructed him to go there.

Besides, Tiger Head was a Demon he had gifted to Im Yuhan.

Although Im Yuhan couldn’t see Tiger Head, he seemed to know of his existence and was doing well.

Tiger Head seemed to like Im Yuhan quite a bit, so having him by his side could be a good guard.

‘I should save the tiger after all.’

In the end, after much *고민* [deliberation], Rembrary decided to go there.

Since Daeju said he was going there too, it was better to go.

If he wasn’t careful, they might have a three-way confrontation inside the police station.

If they had a three-way confrontation, he needed to step in and sort things out in the middle.

“Where are you going?”

Hye Gyeol came out with a toothbrush covered in toothpaste as Rembrary put on his jacket, mask, and hat and headed to the entrance.

“If you’re going to the mart, let’s go together! I have something to buy!”

“Buy mine too!”

Rembrary shouted to Hye Gyeol and put on his shoes and went outside.

Hye Gyeol cursed from behind, but he didn’t care because no one’s curse could touch Rembrary’s greatness.

[Daeju. Have you arrived at the police station? I heard that there are strange people targeting you going there.]

Rembrary sent a text to Daeju and took the elevator straight down to the first floor.

However, his unstoppable steps stopped abruptly at the apartment entrance.

“Where is the police station?”

Come to think of it, he had only read about it in the news and newspaper articles. Rembrary didn’t even know where the police station was.

Cow Head quickly shouted.

[It’s 5 minutes away! That way!]

“At my pace?”

[At Um-meh’s pace!]

“At my speed?”

Cow Head, who had no idea of Rembrary’s speed, shook his head.

Rembrary sighed and put on his mask and hat.

But inside, he kept repeating, ‘What to do? What to do? What to do.’

Daeju still hadn’t replied to his text. Maybe he had already arrived. Or maybe he was too busy to see it.

He had to hurry……. Rembrary didn’t know how to use any transportation other than a car.

After *고민* [thinking] for a while, Rembrary called Daeju.

However, Daeju didn’t answer the phone, whatever he was doing.

When he called Sagamjae, he answered the phone.

[I’m a bit far away right now. Just wait five hours for me to get there.]

[Can’t I file a complaint with Yeomra [the King of Hell] about you?]

[You can file a complaint. He needs to know how busy I am too.]

Rembrary had no choice but to call Shin Joowoon.

Fortunately, Shin Joowoon answered the phone before the bell rang several times.

[Oh, Piggy. What’s up?]

His voice was as relaxed as usual.

However, only Shin Joowoon’s voice was relaxed, and there was a lot of noise and shouting around him, whatever he was doing.

Judging by the talk about movies, pamphlets, and scandals, it seemed like he was busy with work.

“Shin Joowoon-ssi. Are you busy right now?”

Still, he asked in case he might be a little less busy, and Shin Joowoon replied, “Yeah, a bit,” and then asked again.

[Why? Is there something urgent?]

“It’s not super urgent, but……”

[What is it? Tell me.]

“Someone I’m not close to, but had a connection with in the past, went to the police station, and someone I’ve been building a relationship with recently is going to meet that person at the police station, and I heard that someone who wants to kill the person I’ve been building a relationship with recently is going to the police station.”

After explaining it at length, Shin Joowoon was silent for a moment.

About 3 seconds later.

[I’ll go right away.]

Shin Joowoon, who answered, hung up first.

* * *

About 15 minutes later, a familiar car appeared and quickly approached and stopped in front of the apartment entrance. Rembrary quickly opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

“Where do I need to go?”

“I don’t really know which police station it is.”

“Don’t you have a rough idea?”

“Here.”

Rembrary took out the internet news page he had opened in advance and showed it to him.

“You can go to the police station shown here.”

Shin Joowoon leaned over to look at the phone screen and paused for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Rembrary.

“Are you going to meet this person, or do you just know someone at this police station?”

“Someone I’m not close to, but had a connection with in the past, is this person. The person who could be in danger is the person going to see this person.”

“Do you know the criminal?”

“He used to be a trainee at our agency. The kid who almost joined Wild Animal.”

Shin Joowoon started the car, which had been stopped for a moment, and continued to ask.

“Who is the person who wants to kill the person who could be in danger?”

He couldn’t bring himself to answer, “It’s my brother,” so Rembrary only muttered, “How would I know that?”

While the car was stopped at a red light, Shin Joowoon frowned and asked.

“But what are you going to do there? You’re not going to do anything dangerous, are you?”

“No, I’m just going to watch.”

“……”

“Green light. Let’s go.”
