Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 662

“I can’t even go that far. Just give it to me.”

Guju Il weakly reached out his arm.

“Here you go.”

The junior handed Guju Il a glass of beer.

“How stingy. Give me one too. I stayed up all night as well.”

When PD [Production Director] Lee saw this and reached out his arm, the junior smiled affably and handed another glass of beer to PD Lee.

“Am I the only one with hands here? Seriously, these seniors.”

“Oh, oh. Thank you, thank you.”

PD Lee, despite being chided, happily accepted the glass of beer.

“Wow, is it because it’s honey beer? It’s completely golden. Looks really delicious. How did I not know something like this came out? Am I falling behind on trends?”

“It’s just starting to get word-of-mouth now.”

However, PD Lee, having received the glass of beer, didn’t drink it right away.

Looking around, he realized there were more than just three people using the office.

“But how many people are there? Is it okay for just three of us to drink?”

“Well, it’s just the three of us right now.”

“That’s true, but…”

As PD Lee seemed hesitant, the junior PD asked with a smile.

“Why? Don’t you want to drink it?”

“Huh? Ah, it’s not that.”

PD Lee answered absentmindedly, then tilted his head. He suddenly felt something was off.

‘Why is that bastard being so nice today?’

PD Lee glanced at the junior. After asking, ‘Don’t you want to drink it?’, the junior wasn’t drinking his beer either.

“Aren’t you drinking?”

PD Lee asked, finding it strange, and the junior opened his mouth as if to answer. But before he could, Guju Il’s loud voice echoed.

“Son of a bitch, Shin Jo-woon!”

PD Lee was startled and craned his neck.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

He was bewildered when Guju Il, who had been listlessly sprawled on the sofa, suddenly cursed at Shin Jo-woon.

He already knew that Guju Il disliked Shin Jo-woon, but he had never suddenly shouted like this before.

“Did he get drunk right after one glass? Hey, is this stuff strong?”

“Shin Jo-woon! Even if it costs me my life, I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!”

But there was no chance to get an answer because Guju Il was shouting at the top of his lungs again.

PD Lee put the beer glass down on the low desk in front of him and approached Guju Il.

“Gu PD, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”

Guju Il was now getting up from the sofa and kicking the desk.

He seemed genuinely crazy, so PD Lee couldn’t bring himself to touch Guju Il and urgently asked the junior.

“Hey, what did you give him? Why is he acting like this?”

It wasn’t that he suspected the junior had done something to Guju Il’s beer. He just asked on the spur of the moment because Guju Il became violent after drinking the beer.

But as soon as he received that question, the junior started laughing like crazy.

PD Lee felt a chill down his spine at the sight of the junior opening his mouth wide enough to see inside his throat as he laughed.

“Hey. Hey……?”

Something’s wrong. As soon as he had that thought, the junior collapsed to the floor.

He wasn’t pretending to be unconscious. He really fell forward with a ‘thud’ sound.

The sound was so loud that he worried if his nose or forehead was broken.

“Why is he doing that again? Ugh. Seriously, what is going on?”

PD Lee cursed and approached Guju Il, grabbing his arm.

“Hey Gu PD, I think you ate something weird. I think that bastard fed you something weird.”

However, Guju Il immediately shook off PD Lee’s arm and suddenly ran to the computer, pulling out the USB he had been working on.

“Hey?”

Before he could even ask what he was doing, Guju Il ran out with the USB.

“Hey!”

PD Lee hurriedly tried to chase after him, but the speed at which Guju Il ran down the hallway was not a speed he could catch up to.

“Ah, damn it. What should I do? Something’s wrong.”

PD Lee tapped the wall anxiously and quickly took out his cell phone to call Shin Jo-woon.

He was glad that he had obtained Shin Jo-woon’s phone number from a broadcasting station senior, just in case, after participating in Guju Il’s project.

—Hello?

“Are you Shin Jo-woon, the CEO [Chief Executive Officer]?”

—Yes. Who is this?

“Um, I’m Gu PD, Guju Il PD’s colleague. I think Gu PD ate something weird? After eating something, he suddenly went crazy, cursing at the CEO and running out. That, that, that, USB! He ran out with that!”

—What’s inside?

“Redrin’s special documentary, part 2! But the atmosphere isn’t good, so—”

—Thank you for letting me know. I’ll thank you separately later.

Shin Jo-woon received the call calmly, but he seemed to think it was urgent, as he hung up before PD Lee could finish speaking.

PD Lee put his cell phone in his pocket and stomped his feet.

“Did I inform him well, right?”

PD Lee hesitated, then started running in the direction Guju Il had run.

* * *

As soon as Shin Jo-woon hung up, he immediately called a hunter affiliated with World Boom.

—Yes, CEO. I was just about to call you.

The hunter he had assigned near Guju Il answered the phone and immediately reported before Shin Jo-woon could ask anything.

—Guju Il’s condition is strange. He ran out like a crazy person and is going to get in a car?

“Catch him.”

After hanging up, Shin Jo-woon immediately went to the parking lot, got in his car, and drove off.

After briefly stopping by his house, he drove himself to the place where Guju Il was making the documentary.

Shin Jo-woon parked his car nearby and waited for a call from his subordinate.

About five minutes later. The call came.

—CEO, we caught Guju Il.

“Take him to the prepared location.”

—Yes.

Shin Jo-woon parked in the next building, got out, and went up to the second floor of that building.

Opening the door in the center of the second floor, I waited, and soon a hunter came into the room carrying the unconscious Guju Il.

“You’re here first?”

“We received a tip that Guju Il is possessed by a demon.”

At Shin Jo-woon’s gesture, the hunter left Guju Il and went out of the room.

Once they were alone in the room, Shin Jo-woon created a heavy block of ice and placed it on Guju Il’s forehead.

“Ugh!”

Guju Il immediately screamed and woke up.

As soon as he spotted Shin Jo-woon, he started spewing curses like a madman, just as the informant had said.

“Shin Jo-woon, you son of a bitch! I know your true colors! I know what kind of bastard you are! You wear a mask of kindness but secretly harm people, you two-faced monster!”

There were all sorts of other curses, but Shin Jo-woon didn’t bat an eye.

Shin Jo-woon waved his hand, and Guju Il, who had been cursing while crying, was instantly buried up to his neck in ice, leaving only his head exposed.

“What are you doing! Are you trying to kill me too?! Are you trying to kill me?!”

“Quiet.”

If Guju Il had been Nakru, Shin Jo-woon would have taught him how to be quiet himself, but Guju Il was not Nakru, even if he didn’t like him.

Besides, Rembrary himself, who had been harmed, had forgiven him.

Shin Jo-woon pressed Guju Il’s cheeks to force him to open his mouth, and then poured the emetic [a substance that induces vomiting] he had picked up from his house on the way over into his mouth.

“Cough!”

Guju Il coughed but still drank what was falling into his throat.

After emptying the entire bottle, Shin Jo-woon released Guju Il and melted the ice. Guju Il choked and coughed, then collapsed to the floor and began to vomit everything he had swallowed.

Shin Jo-woon left Guju Il and went out of the room.

The hunter standing in the hallway quickly approached.

“Is it all over?”

“They said he ate something strange and became like that, so I made him throw it all up for now. But I don’t know if this will work. Take him to the research director first.”

“Yes.”

Watching the hunter take Guju Il away, Shin Jo-woon sighed briefly. ‘Thankfully, it was dealt with immediately, right?’

* * *

At that moment. The arm of the junior PD [Production Director], who had been left lying on the ground, reached upwards at once, and his palm touched the ground.

As the junior PD’s hand pushed off the floor as if it had gained its own life, the fallen junior PD gradually began to rise.

Little by little, he grabbed onto the surrounding objects and stood up on two feet, then looked around from where he was.

Soon, he found what he was looking for and approached it.

The junior PD, after taking out another USB and pocketing it, leisurely left the room.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to go.”

Rembrary was almost finished preparing to visit Full’s estate with the children.

Woo Yeon-woo, who had been to see Woo Sung-woo, observed the situation and then took off his scarf, saying firmly.

“What? Why?”

“Ninling and Kim Je-woo are practically in charge of raising them anyway. You, Mullu, and that crazy guy were somewhere else. Wouldn’t it be better for someone who knows the kids well to go?”

“That’s true, but…”

As Rembrary still seemed reluctant, Woo Yeon-woo reluctantly revealed the truth he had been trying to avoid saying.

“Your standards are very different from other people’s.”

“What standards?”

“Everything.”

“!”

“Besides, you’re good at making people feel embarrassed.”

“!”

Woo Yeon-woo had one more thing he wanted to say, but he omitted that part.

Even Woo Yeon-woo couldn’t bring himself to say, ‘What if the lord gets angry after talking to you and tells you to go back without even looking at the kids?’ in front of Rembrary, who was sad to say goodbye to the children.

In the end, Ninling, Mullu, and Kim Je-woo decided to go to Full’s estate, and they also contacted Jang Tae-ri as Woo Yeon-woo had advised.

‘It’s not like it’s goodbye forever today.’

After the four people left with the two children. Rembrary went to the place where the children used to play outside and looked at the snowman they had made.

Then, he sat on the sofa, turned on some music, and was listening to it when his phone rang. He started to doze off.

‘Did they arrive already?’

He had told them to call when they arrived, but hadn’t they arrived too early? Did they run into a fire lizard on the way?

Puzzled, Rembrary took out his phone.

‘Ki Sung-hyun?’

But the name on the screen was unexpectedly Ki Sung-hyun.

“Oh, Ki Sung-hyun. I’m doing well.”

Wondering what was going on, Rembrary answered the phone.

—Do you always answer the phone like that?

Ki Sung-hyun muttered to himself for a moment, then suddenly apologized, “I’m sorry,” and got to the point.

—I heard that a hunter who has turned into a jellyfish has appeared, and the damage is enormous. Would you be willing to come with me?

“Can’t you catch it?”

—I think I can kill it. But it’s going to be difficult to capture it alive without anyone getting hurt. Isn’t capturing them alive without external injuries your specialty, Mr. Rembrary?

“Who said that’s my specialty?”

—Pardon?

But since he had nothing to do and knew that he would just feel depressed if he stayed on the sofa while waiting for the children, Rembrary readily agreed.

“Alright. Where do I need to go?”

—I’ll mark it on the map and send it to you in a text message.”

Soon, a map was attached to the text message and arrived.

Rembrary took his car and went to the area.

There, in addition to Ki Sung-hyun, there were several other hunters he had called.

Rembrary got out of the car and was walking towards Ki Sung-hyun when he noticed that there were several reporters in addition to the hunters.

“What are those people?”

Just as Ki Sung-hyun was coming this way, he shrugged and answered.

“Jellyfish hunters have been causing more accidents than monsters lately.”

“Is that so.”

“Yes. They have contagiousness that monsters don’t have.”

Rembrary rolled up his sleeves a little and asked.
