Human Cleaning & Building Cleaning (4)

Detective Kang felt an unbearable rage.

How could someone, wearing the mask of a human, cut open people’s bellies and sell their organs? And all because they couldn’t repay their debts?

It was beyond his comprehension.

Yet, those kinds of bastards were lurking nearby. Mangwon-dong wasn’t that far from here.

When the demolition of shacks in Mangwon-dong became a social issue, the residents protested.

As a detective from the local precinct, he had visited the protest site a few times, and to think that there were human scums on that boundary, not only sucking the blood of citizens but also killing them as if it were a daily routine.

He, too, had received a lot of kickbacks in the past and had made or received favors. He couldn’t claim to have lived a completely clean life.

But what the hell was this?

Even a once-corrupt detective was seething with anger, his fists flying first.

“Tell me. How many have you killed so far? Huh!?”

“Ehehe. Ehehehehe.”

“You think you can get away with pretending to be crazy!? Do you think diminished responsibility is that easy to get!?”

That’s right.

Detective Kang felt anger even at this country’s legal system.

Diminished responsibility?

Who the hell made the law that reduces sentences for those who drink or have mental illnesses? Their brains need to be dissected.

That’s why when chaebols [large business conglomerates] or famous politicians are caught, they all end up in the hospital, right? A wheelchair is basic, and pretending to be crazy is optional.

But these trash even try to imitate that, which makes him furious.

Thwack!

“Gasp! Detective Kang!”

“Hey, stop him!”

As Detective Kang kicked the gangsters who were pretending to be crazy, the surrounding police were busy trying to stop him.

No matter how much trash they were, the Constitution of the Republic of Korea guaranteed human rights, and confessions obtained illegally were not adopted as legal evidence. The person in charge was naturally subject to disciplinary action.

The detective squad leader immediately gave instructions.

“Lock those bastards up.”

“Yes, Chief.”

Detective Kang still couldn’t calm down.

Oh Tae-geuk sighed and sat him down.

“Detective Kang. Coercive investigation is not good.”

“Do those kinds of guys have human rights?”

“No, they don’t. In terms of social norms, those kinds of trash… If it were up to me, I’d just hang them, but what can we do when the law is like that? The social atmosphere is like that, so we can’t really do that. What can we do when the law is messed up?”

“It’s a frustrating reality.”

They lamented their situation for a long time.

It was obvious what the outcome would be. The guys would be given a reduced sentence due to diminished responsibility and would be sentenced to life or 20 or 30 years.

What is needed in times like these?

Bang!

The youngest member of the detective team ran in and shouted.

“Chief! There are reporters swarming outside!”

“What? It’s troublesome if it’s already like this? Then…….”

“Yes! A special investigation unit is being formed. Moreover, there’s been a tip that more than ten bodies are buried in the mountains near Mangwon-dong!”

“A tip?”

They widened their eyes.

A tip?

Then someone knows this case inside and out.

Seoul L Tower exterior cleaning site.

As it started to pass 5 o’clock, the sun was setting.

The sky was already turning to dusk, so it was indeed the beginning of early winter. It’s understandable that manual labor also ends at 5 o’clock during the summer season.

However, from the president’s point of view, even one hour was precious.

“Everyone, come up.”

The undead employees began to climb up the rope.

Following my instructions, they packed up their belongings and put them in the warehouse.

As the cleanup was nearing completion, Team Leader Lee Seo-kyung came to find me.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“Don’t mention it. I’m getting paid to do this, so I have to work hard. How can I neglect a request that’s worth so much? Haha.”

I gave a slight smile, fearing that she might be picky again.

But it seemed like there was no need to do that today.

Team Leader Lee Seo-kyung showed me a photo taken by a drone.

“The building is being completely transformed. The L Group chairman called today.”

“Really?”

“It’s amazing how much progress has been made in just one day, and it’s so clean. Moreover, he seems very interested in new technologies.”

In fact, Team Leader Lee Seo-kyung was right.

There was no way the working speed of the undead, who moved mechanically without rest, could be the same as that of humans. Moreover, work tends to be delayed due to psychological factors.

But the undead had no fear of death at all. What fear could those who had died and become skeletons have?

The undead were machines, and compared to experts who were attached and trembling with fear while working, there was a difference of two or even three times in efficiency.

Even so, to get a call from the chairman after starting work today? Is it because Spider Foot is beyond new technology and into otherworldly technology?

“L Group has started to keep an eye on you, President. Of course, you have to finish well to receive compensation for your hard work.”

“Of course! I will do my best!”

“And our company has also started internal discussions. It’s too early to judge, but if the work is finished cleanly, there will be good news.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s natural to receive compensation for your efforts.”

That woman… just smiled.

Did I see it wrong? It looked like the corners of her lips twitched slightly.

Anyway, it’s good news.

Then, Lee Seo-kyung began to look at our employees(?).

“Those people work well together silently.”

“Ah! They’ve been in this industry for a long time, so that’s why. They’re originally taciturn people. Rather, it’s better to be hardworking and taciturn.”

“I agree.”

She was smiling, but there was a little cold sweat on my back.

She didn’t seem to think much about the fact that the workers were silent. Rather, she thought of it as a sign of diligence, so it would have been a plus factor for me.

Lee Seo-kyung treated me so well that I wondered if she was the goddess of darkness I knew. She even gave me a ride. Even though she was going home, this was unconventional.

Is this what it feels like to be treated well?

After my business went bankrupt, I was treated worse than a human being every day, so when people treat me normally, it feels strange.

When I came down to the first floor, a welcome guest had come to visit.

My human relationships were all ruined because I borrowed money from acquaintances due to business failure and couldn’t repay it. If there was anyone who would come to visit in the midst of that, it was obvious.

My pretty and cute daughter, who I could recognize at a glance even from afar.

Her flamboyant platinum blonde hair came down to her waist, she didn’t hide her large eyes with jewel-like odd eyes, and she even exuded a mysterious charm like her mother.

Soo-jung shouted and ran over.

“Dad~!”

“Oh, Soo-jung!”

Soo-jung hugged me tightly.

I stroked Soo-jung’s head and said.

“How did you get here?”

“Hehe, I missed you, Dad, so I came by subway~!”

“Kyaaak!”

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Lee Seo-kyung stomped her feet while looking at Soo-jung.

What did I just see?

It was the moment when Lee Seo-kyung’s iron wall collapsed.

But as if nothing had happened, she regained her original face, but she seemed to be blushing, as if she had been overly excited until just now.

Soo-jung smiled and greeted Lee Seo-kyung.

“Hello, Miss?”

“Oh, Miss?”

“Weren’t you Miss? Then should I call you Auntie?”

Lee Seo-kyung’s face brightened up.

Then she repeatedly returned to being an iron wall woman.

What is this woman? She’s totally breaking down?

“Miss is fine too.”

“Yes! Miss, then see you next time!”

“Okay.”

Lee Seo-kyung was smiling.

It seemed like she couldn’t maintain her iron wall anymore while looking at Soo-jung.

I put Soo-jung in the seat next to me.

My daughter took out a snack from somewhere and munched on it.

“Dad must have had a hard time.”

“Why?”

“Originally, it’s difficult to deal with old maids, right?”

“How did you know that Team Leader Lee isn’t married?”

“I can just tell by looking.”

Soo-jung seems to be excellent at observing people too.

At first, I thought she was married and even had children, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

“And she’s also ugly compared to Mom.”

“Hey. Why are you comparing her to Mom when there’s nothing else to compare her to? Your mom is an angel.”

“Hehe, Dad is a fool for his daughter, too.”

“I’m also a daughter-obsessed idiot.”

The traffic is starting to get heavy because it’s rush hour.

There must be a reason why Soo-jung came to visit.

“Why did you take the subway all the way here?”

“Dad. You have something to do today, right?”

“Something to do…….”

“That thing in the morning.”

“Ah!”

By now, those guys must be in jail.

Was it around 4 o’clock earlier?

I was bored, so I turned on the news, and it said that organized crime members who were running illegal high-interest private loans were being caught one after another for engaging in organ trafficking targeting debtors. Because of that, a special investigation unit was formed, and it was a mess.

More than anything, what’s scary here is that the work wasn’t done in just one place.

If only the debtors of Piggy Dad Loans disappeared, they could be suspected, so the organization bought up bad debts from all over the country and committed kidnappings.

And especially many people died in the office of Piggy Dad Loans.

Perhaps the only thing the law can do to them is imprisonment. In fact, South Korea was a country where the death penalty was prohibited.

Then I’ll help out with what the law can’t do for a while.

I told the husband and wife ghosts yesterday to bring the people who died unfairly at their hands.

And they’re probably waiting at the Mapo Police Station by now.

I arrived in front of the police station.

Soo-jung’s tip and report are causing a major social uproar. Because of that, the front of the police station is crowded with people, with no room to set foot.

I didn’t need to go in there.

I summoned the spirits near the police station.

The number of spirits seems to be as many as 20. There must be spirits who haven’t come yet.

“Do you want to take revenge?”

-Hic! Please let us torment those bastards who should be torn to pieces!

-It’s unfair……. It’s unfair…….

A strong negative wave is felt.

I wondered how much resentment had to be built up to accumulate that much energy.

I immediately go into magic.

As I skillfully draw the hand seals, the dark energies enter the spirits.

With this, they are ready to torment the villains.

I spread my arms.

“Go! Go and torment them as you wish!”

-Thank you!

-Thank you!

-We will definitely repay your kindness!

The spirits fly to the police station.

I wonder what kind of situation will unfold in the future?

Soo-jung gave me a thumbs up.

“Dad is the best! Now those people can relieve their grievances even a little!”

“Yeah. We can’t always do good things, but we have to help with the things that happen nearby.”

My heart felt lighter.

This is all I can do.

When I get home, I should think about how to get to the 3rd Circle.
