The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 246

< #246. It's Shin Hae-soo's Doing >

Thud.

Young’s eyes widened in disbelief as she knelt on the spot. But she couldn’t withstand it and collapsed to the floor the moment blood gushed once more from the circular line around her neck.

Hwang Jang-soo stared at the small figure who had instantly taken down the skilled Young. Though the figure didn’t turn his head this way, the sharp nose and thin lips visible beneath the pressed-down hood looked familiar.

‘…Haru!’

Haru didn’t even have a moment to make eye contact with Hwang Jang-soo before darting off to the next target.

Ssk, ssk- ssk- cheeee-

Haru swept through the office workers with a low stance. The office workers collapsed, spurting blood from fatal spots like their ankles, sides, and necks.

The office workers were beyond flustered by Haru’s appearance. They had been taught during training that once they went out into the world, they could easily take on a hundred men, that no one could stand against them, and that had been the case in reality.

But now, a being that shattered that firm belief was appearing before their eyes.

The fear they had forgotten slowly crept back up.

“You…”

Ssk-

Haru sharply sliced the carotid artery of an office worker who had just come out of the emergency exit with his knife.

Watching that godlike movement, Hwang Jang-soo smiled, blood pooling in his mouth and gurgling as he swallowed.

“S-so far, you were just holding back.”

* * *

At the same time, Shin Hae-soo was facing the horrific reality unfolding in the sky lounge.

Bright red blood, starkly contrasting with the pure white marble floor, thoroughly stained the ground.

In addition to the wealthy in expensive suits and dresses, employees in hotel uniforms were also lying on the cold floor, bleeding.

Office workers were chasing after those who had fled without dying, and others were checking on those who were twitching and stabbing knives into their necks again.

Thud, crack-

An office worker discovered Hae-soo and charged at him, only to have his neck grabbed.

Hae-soo, unable to hide his boiling anger, twisted his neck with one hand, severing the nerves.

Thud.

Like a kite with a cut string, the office worker collapsed on the spot.

Just as he was about to move towards the next office worker, Haru’s voice was heard.

-Hwang Jang-soo saw Teacher Chun at the banquet hall. He said the massacre started after he appeared.

“The time?”

-About 15 minutes ago.

Hae-soo raised his hand to check the time. Resetting would take about 30 minutes to get from that location to here, a tight schedule, making him hesitate.

But it was an attractive opportunity to catch Teacher Chun.

Hae-soo continued to check the time while looking around. Teacher Chun was not visible in the banquet hall.

Since this was the top floor, he had no choice but to go down, but he hadn’t seen him.

Could he have used the emergency stairs? The probability was slim.

Drrrrrrr-

Hae-soo’s eyes widened.

Broken wine glasses and red liquid, indistinguishable as wine or blood, were scattered on the floor. They were creating subtle vibrations.

Hae-soo looked up at the ceiling. His hesitation was short-lived.

He immediately ran up to the rooftop.

Bang-!

Bursting through the rooftop door, he saw white hair just getting into a helicopter.

Hae-soo was certain that it was Teacher Chun. It was his first time seeing him in person.

“Teacher Chun!!”

Teacher Chun, already aboard the helicopter, turned around at the loud shout.

A man with his clothes and hair dancing wildly in the helicopter propeller wind was visible.

“Shin Hae-soo?”

He recognized Shin Hae-soo at once as well. Teacher Chun seemed not to have expected Hae-soo to appear here.

Hae-soo, seeing that the helicopter had already risen to a height where he couldn’t reach even if he jumped, quickly looked around.

He suddenly grabbed a fire extinguisher in one hand and began spinning in place like a shot putter.

“What, what is that guy trying to do now?”

Whoosh-!

It soon left Hae-soo’s outstretched hand.

Crash!!

Flying like a cannonball, it shattered the helicopter window and entered. An executive-level office worker crossed his arms in an X to block it, but it seemed like his bones had cracked.

Teacher Chun, who had leaned back, returned to his original position, brushed the broken glass shards off his hand, and said.

“A violent friend.”

He chuckled and rummaged through his pockets, pulling out something. It was a rectangular, unidentified switch.

He placed his thumb on the red button of the switch with one hand, and with the other, he looked down at Shin Hae-soo through the broken window, raised his middle finger, and said.

“Jackpot today. Farewell, Shin Hae-soo.”

The moment Teacher Chun pressed the red button.

Bang! Kwaaaang!!

A massive roar that shook the ground echoed, and the rooftop floor where Shin Hae-soo was standing trembled.

Kugugugung-

The adrenaline surging, the whole world moved in slow motion.

Hae-soo looked down at the floor he was standing on as it collapsed. The floor cracked, and the corpses scattered in the sky lounge below were visible again. Among them, the innocent employees caught up in this horrific massacre were particularly noticeable.

Hae-soo, with bloodshot eyes, stared at one of them and moved his lips.

‘Reset.’

Hae-soo’s world spun.

* * *

Bang-!

“Ggwell!”

Hae-soo slammed the floor hard with one hand, startling Haru next to him, who made a strange noise.

Hae-soo looked around with eyes still filled with a fierce energy. It was inside the hideout.

The aftereffects of the gravity from falling under the collapsing building still seemed to be felt.

Without even explaining to Haru, he immediately grabbed the radio.

“Hwang Jang-soo, stop.”

-Huh?

Hwang Jang-soo, who was just about to pass through the arched door, reflexively stopped at Hae-soo’s words, which was shown on the large screen.

“Right now, don’t ask anything and set fire to that place and get everyone out.”

-…Did you send me here to do this?

“I’m leaving now too. To set fire together.”

-…You son of a bitch.”

* * *

Hwang Jang-soo stood tall in front of the arched door that destroys all electronic devices.

The lips of the beautiful female employee next to him, who had been smiling, trembled slightly.

“Sir, is there any inconvenience?”

She had heard the curse Hwang Jang-soo had just said to Hae-soo. It was small, but the female employee who was close by heard it clearly.

However, Jang-soo had no time to pay attention to her.

He first looked around.

Strangely, the option of not doing what Hae-soo had ordered did not occur to Jang-soo’s brain.

He was only thinking about how to set the fire.

“Ah!”

Hwang Jang-soo suddenly clutched his stomach and groaned.

Chairman Ahn behind him looked at him with an absurd expression.

“…Are you, what’s wrong?”

“I have to, poop, a sudden urge, just a moment! Mr. Chairman, please stay here!”

“…What?”

Chairman Ahn’s face crumpled, then changed to a look of pity.

The fact that Hwang Jang-soo had mentioned defecation once when he took out his cell phone earlier had coincidentally built up.

Chairman Ahn shook his head as he watched Hwang Jang-soo’s back as he hurriedly moved his steps, blocking his buttocks with his hands.

Hwang Jang-soo first put a whole roll of toilet paper in the trash can in the men’s restroom stall and lit it with a lighter.

But one is not enough. Such a high-end modern hotel can be easily suppressed with sprinklers.

“L-let’s just set everything on fire.”

He went into each stall, set fire to all the trash cans, and came out.

Then, he grabbed the fire extinguisher at the entrance of the restroom and ran to the place with the emergency bell that he had seen in advance and strongly hit it with the fire extinguisher.

Crack-! Ttiriririring!!!

The emergency bell rang loudly enough to make your ears fall off. People are just bewildered and don’t think about evacuating.

That’s because the emergency bell also rings during inspections and sometimes rings by mistake, so that alone could not move those who came to this high-end banquet.

It was too precious a seat to lightly judge and run away.

Hwang Jang-soo hesitated as he tried to pull the fire extinguisher safety device and pull the handle. He belatedly thought, ‘Is this okay?’

But smoke is seen coming out of the restroom behind him. It’s already too late. Shin Hae-soo will take care of the aftermath.

“Oh well, I don’t know!!”

Swaaaaa!

“W-wait a minute!”

Hwang Jang-soo charged forward, spraying the fire extinguisher, through the inspection gate and at the female employee, and even to the center of the banquet hall.

Veiled by the sprayed fire extinguishing powder, Chairman Ahn did not see him.

Chik, cheeeeee-!

The sprinklers also went off, adding to the confusion by soaking the expensive clothes.

“Kyaaak!”

“What, what’s going on?”

“I think there’s a fire? I smell it!”

People who smelled the smoky smell realized and began to flee to the emergency stairs.

“Oh, I don’t like it, my legs hurt because I’m wearing heels.”

Some people are taking the elevator in the midst of this.

Chairman Ahn was flustered and hesitated, then slowly moved his steps to the restroom to find Hwang Jang-soo.

Thump!

At that time, a thick hand gripped Chairman Ahn’s wrist. As the extinguishing powder cleared slightly in the water from the sprinklers, Chairman Ahn could identify the face of the person who grabbed his wrist.

It’s Hwang Jang-soo.

“No, Mr. Chairman, why aren’t you evacuating and what are you doing here?”

“I thought you were having a bowel movement.”

“You still have time to rhyme, let’s get out of here quickly!”

Hwang Jang-soo barely suppressed his emotions and took Chairman Ahn down the emergency stairs.

* * *

Meanwhile, inside the waiting room of the banquet hall.

Chief of Staff of the Blue House, Jung Seung-han, and Teacher Chun are sitting there. Teacher Chun’s brow is slightly furrowed.

Jung Seung-han sniffed, smelled the burning smell, and said to Teacher Chun.

“Suddenly a fire… bad luck. We should evacuate too.”

Teacher Chun glared at Jung Seung-han and looked away. This person doesn’t know about the massacre and the bomb that will happen today.

But suddenly this happened. Teacher Chun was lost in thought, frowning.

As Teacher Chun crossed his arms and didn’t think about moving, Jung Seung-han fidgeted and suddenly stood up.

“Well, I’ll go first!”

As Jung Seung-han couldn’t stand it and ran away, Teacher Chun took care of his closest aide, Yeong-do.

“Teacher, let’s go.”

Teacher Chun reluctantly got up. If it’s a real fire, it’s right to avoid it. As he took a step, he suddenly stopped and snapped his fingers.

“Shin Hae-soo!”

He turned his head and shouted, looking at Yeong.

“Right now, release all the guys and search this building for Shin Hae-soo, check the CCTV, and find out who did this right away!”

“Yes, I understand.”

Although it’s a difficult order to understand, Yeong immediately relayed Teacher Chun’s orders to the team leaders via radio.

Teacher Chun kept his index finger extended and still, then turned his body and pointed to the individual stairs leading to the rooftop.

“Let’s go, let’s get out of here right away.”

“Yes, Teacher.”

Whether Shin Hae-soo did this or not, whether it’s a coincidence, it’s not good to run into him if he’s there.

Thud.

Teacher Chun stopped again on the stairs leading to the rooftop.

Suddenly, he remembered the bomb installed here.

He doesn’t know how much Shin Hae-soo knows. However, if he also knows about the existence of the bomb, he will try to defuse it.

His eyebrows twitched.

Even if the owner of this hotel, Hajin Group, discovers the bomb, it’s not good.

If it is revealed to the world that the bomb was installed, if the plan to kill them all is discovered, it becomes a great threat to him.

“Collect the bomb right away too.”

“Yes.”

Yeong was about to send a radio message and boarded the helicopter with Teacher Chun.

As the helicopter took off, Teacher Chun narrowed his brows and looked down.

The fact that the big plan was ruined so futilely ignited a fire in Teacher Chun’s heart, who didn’t know failure.

Just then, a company employee’s radio rang.

-Shin Hae-soo fou- crack bang crack!

The radio was cut off.

He is certain. The only person who can smash the radio in the short moment without even finishing the sentence is Shin Hae-soo. He has been subdued.

Teacher Chun picked up the radio and put it down, muttering to himself.

A strange light settled in his eyes.

“Shin Hae-soo… it’s his doing. He… turned back time.”
