Unscented Trajectory - Chapter 26 - 26

At the same time as the man collapsed, a kick continued towards Yihyeon’s face. Yihyeon, who flexibly leaned back to avoid it, and kicked the back of the man’s knee. Automatically, the man’s knees touched the floor, and Yiheyon swung his feet behind his neck.

“Ugh!”

The man, who felt the pain, lost his mind and fell forward.

Yihyeon, who defeated the four in an instant, took the gas mask out of the face of the last man who fell and put it on. But even if it was short, because of how many breaths he took, his head was already dazed and his eyes were about to close.

Joohyuk grabbed hiss arm, which was momentarily trembling.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Let’s go.”

Yihyeon, who reflexively answered that he was okay to Joohyuk’s question, went down the stairs, being wary of the surroundings. Before reaching the second floor, he heard several people running up the stairs. Just by listening to the sound, he could tell that it was not a small number.

“Let’s take the stairs and deal with them.”

Next to Yihyeon, who was nervous, Joohyuk pulled out a black leather glove and put it on.

“It is dangerous. The manager should stay behind…”

“It’s faster to deal with them together.”

As soon as those words were said, the men who rushed out appeared through the gas.

As Joohyuk said, it was advantageous to fight along the narrow stairs. The stairs were wide enough for two people to pass through, and no matter how many people pushed in, it was easy to block because they only had to deal with one or two people.

He didn’t have to go out on his own, but Joohyuk, who had considerable skills, teamed up with Yihyeon to quickly subdue the men, and soon after passing the second floor, he was able to advance to the first floor.

As soon as he got off the stairs on the first floor, fists were suddenly extended from the left and right at the same time. Yihyeon and Joohyuk avoided the fist and aimed for a counterattack, but the opponent hid in the gas and avoided it with difficulty.

At that time, when he was on high alert, a sharp knife dug into Joohyuk’s neck. Yihyeon, who was on edge, blocked Joohyuk and grabbed the wrist of the man with a knife. Then he immediately turned his wrist and bent it.

“Ugh!”

The knife fell from his hand and the sound of it bouncing on the floor was heard. The man attacked with another knife.

Yihyeon, who caught the attack one step late because of the gas, was planning to inflict a fatal blow by giving up his shoulder and aiming for the vital point of the opponent. But just before the knife reached him, it stood tall in the air. He thought it was strange, but Yihyeon at once grabbed his other arm with a knife and slammed his wrist into the wall. The second knife rolled on the floor.

The man with his wrist held tight, swallowed a moan and swung his knee, aiming at Yihyeon’s side. To prevent the attack, he had no choice but to let go of the man’s wrist and crouched to guard with his arm. Nevertheless, a strong shock continued and his forehead twitched. Judging by the heaviness, he did not appear to be a person with mediocre skills.

In an instant, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed Yihyeon’s gas mask. Another man who took it off at once and threw it away rushed in. It was followed by his frantic flashy kicks.

The men were also well trained, like the ones who used knives, and the agility of their movements was different. Yihyeon, who was holding his breath and dodging his attack, had to deal with two talented people at once, so it was difficult. With the gas mask removed as well, he began to gradually lose consciousness.

At that moment, the man who was swinging his feet took out a knife from his arms. Ignoring Yihyeon, whom he had been dealing with so far, he suddenly swung his knife at Joohyuk. It seemed like the light in Yihyeon’s eyes, which had been blurry for a moment, came back.

He grabbed the man’s wrist with a knife and punched his chin straight up with his fist.

“Ugh!”

The man staggered greatly due to the attack he received so strongly, and Joohyuk saw this and swung his foot in the face and struck him. As soon as the man fell, someone else picked up a knife from the floor and kicked him. His knife was persistently aiming at Joohyuk.

In a hurry, Yihyeon stopped Joohyuk with his own body. Then the man flinched again and stepped back.

‘It’s strange.’

Yihyeon caught his breath and looked at the man in his blurred vision.

They were clearly trying to kill Joohyuk, unlike the others before. Even so, they had no intention of killing Yihyeon, even though he could have cut him with a knife enough, he hesitated and retreated. It was the exact opposite situation from before.

“Ugh, *Cough*!”

Gas was constantly seeping into his lungs. His body staggered and his vision was blurred. He wondered if he could hear a short kick from behind, and then suddenly a gas mask was put over his face. When he turned his head, Joohyuk, with a frown on his face, slammed the floor at the man running towards him.

As soon as Joohyuk came out, the man swung his knife without hesitation. Joohyuk, who turned around to avoid it, slammed the man’s foot down with the heel of his shoe. As soon as the man groaned and lost his posture, he grabbed the head of the gas mask and punched him in the face three times.

The lens on the gas mask shattered, and blood gushed from the face it had been lodged in. Nevertheless, Joohyuk swung his knees, aiming at the man’s back with an expressionless face. The man felt pain as if his back had been broken, and fell to the floor with a short scream.

As Joohyuk felt a dizzying sensation start to spread from the sleeping gas that had entered his respiratory system, he removed the gas mask from the broken lens from the man’s face. Then a familiar face appeared. He was one of the employees who greeted Kim Seokwoon when he entered the building. Again, it was clear that the three were on the same team with those who caused this riot.

Joohyuk coughed briefly and reached out to another gas mask on the floor.

At that moment, a sound was heard from somewhere. When Joohyuk sensed the danger and turned his head, Yihyeon quickly blocked his way.

“… !”

Yihyeon’s body, who was blocking Joohyuk’s front, staggered. There was something like a stick with liquid stuck in his thigh.

“I thought you were going to stop me.”

It was a voice heard through the gas mask, but it was easy to tell who the opponent was.

Kim Seokwoon walked through the gas and held a gun in his hand. Judging from the fact that it was embedded in Yihyeon’s thigh, it was not difficult to grasp that it was an anesthetic gun.

Yihyeon’s knees touched the floor and he sat down. Still, it was hard to come to his senses because of the sleeping gas, but he couldn’t move his body at all because he was shot with an anesthetic gun.

Kim Seokwoon suddenly lowered the anesthetic gun. Then he raised his other hand and aimed the crudely designed gun at Joohyuk’s head behind Yihyeon. It was clearly a pistol with live ammunition in it.

Yihyeon moved faster than Kim Seokwoon’s pistol. Even though he was even shot with an anesthetic gun, he got up and blocked Joohyuk, and smoke erupted from Kim Seokwoon’s muzzle with a roar.

bang-!

“Ugh!”

Yihyeon’s body was shaking. He felt like he was going to collapse at any moment from the terrible pain he felt in his left shoulder, but he managed to get through it. His mind, which had been disturbed by sleeping gas and anesthetic guns, seemed to have returned properly for a moment due to the pain in his shoulder.

At that moment, while Kim Seokwoon was trembling while holding a pistol, Yihyeon took off the gas mask and handed it to Joohyuk behind him, and immediately jumped out. His left shoulder felt like it was going to fall off, but he didn’t care and rushed in and quickly swung his leg. Thanks to that, he was able to kick off the pistol that Kim Seokwoon was aiming, but he had no choice but to stagger because the anesthesia started.

Kim Seokwoon, who had missed the pistol, picked up the anesthetic gun in his other hand and quickly fired one shot at Yihyeon. It was stuck in Yihyeon’s right shoulder, and he knelt again at the tingling sensation of his whole body. If the gunshot wound to his left shoulder didn’t keep his brain awake, he might have fallen asleep.

A black shadow jumped into the sight of Kim Seokwoon, who was about to fire one more shot at Yihyeon, who had not yet lost his mind. Joohyuk, wearing a gas mask, quickly swung his fist. As Kim Seokwoon, who managed to avoid it, aimed the anesthetic gun in his hand, Joohyuk grabbed the gun and hit him in the side face with his knee.

“Ugh!”

Kim Seokwoon, who had lost his anesthetic gun and stumbled, did not immediately fall, but reached out and pulled Joohyuk’s gas mask strongly. It came off at once, so he took a deep breath of sleeping gas. As if he was about to collapse, he lost consciousness for an moment, biting his lower lip painfully and twisting his face.

Kim Seokwoon’s fist flew toward Joohyuk’s abdomen, who was coughing briefly while covering his mouth and nose with the back of his hand. Just before his fist touched his abdomen, Joohyuk grabbed his wrist in the air and pushed him to the side, turning his body. Then he hit the side face that he had hit earlier with his elbow and fell out. Since he had been hit once more in the part that had been strongly attacked, he staggered back a few steps, perhaps because of the big blow this time. Joohyuk kicked Kim Seokwoon in the chest and he fell to the floor as if he was flying.

He was fine until he defeated Kim Seokwoon, but he inhaled a lot of sleeping gas just by fighting him. He coughed constantly and looked around the floor looking for a gas mask, but the gas was so spread out that it was hard to tell where it was. It was also due to the fact that he had already inhaled sleeping gas, which had greatly blurred his vision.

Joohyuk held his breath as much as possible and approached Yihyeon, who was sitting on the floor. With both hands on the floor, Yihyeon, who was struggling to breathe, was trying to get up somehow. Joohyuk staggered towards him and stretched out his hand.

“Hold it. Let’s get out of here quickly.”

He hated sleeping gas or anesthesia. Joohyuk felt that his mood was infinitely dirty, and grabbed Yihyeon’s arm and lifted him up. He could not even open his eyes properly, and looked at Yihyeon, who seemed to be strange when he collapsed, and supported him.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of something flying quickly, and at the same time, he felt a stinging pain in his back. Starting from that area, the anesthesia worked in an instant, and his whole body became numb.

Joohyuk stumbled and sat down with Yihyeon on the floor. The effect was so great that he wondered how Yihyeon survived. Joohyuk wrinkled his face as he watched him tremble from his back to his fingertips.

Kim Seokwoon came out of Joohyuk’s back. He was holding an anesthetic gun in his left hand and a sharp knife in his right. Recognizing that he was clearly targeting Joohyuk, Yihyeon grabbed hold of the dying consciousness and hit his left shoulder, which had been shot, painfully with his right fist.

“Argh-!”

His fists were full of blood and the pain that seemed to crumble in his shoulders made Yihyeon’s mind flash. He immediately got up and pushed Kim Seokwoon’s body with his right shoulder. Yihyeon, who was aiming for the time he hesitated, grabbed the back of Kim Seokwoon’s anesthetic gun with his right hand, raised his left arm, which could not be raised properly due to pain, and managed to peel off his gas mask.

If Kim Seokwoon swung the knife in his right hand, Yihyeon would have been beaten without a hitch. However, he did not use his right hand as expected.

Yihyeon, who threw the gas mask far away from Kim Seokwoon’s reach, swung his left fist toward his face. Kim Seokwoon, who easily evaded the slow and weak fist because of his shoulder, tried to hold the anesthetic gun that was caught by Yihyeon. Yihyeon tried to hit him with as much strength as possible, but Kim Seokwoon was one step ahead of him, so his hand with the anesthetic gun was gradually raised upwards. And Kim Seokwoon’s right arm with the knife wrapped around Yihyeon’s waist.

Kim Seokwoon, who started to inhale sleeping gas, frowned and smiled.

“Please be quiet.”

The muzzle of the anesthesia gun was pointed towards Yihyeon, who was persistent. He couldn’t block it by force, so he took another technique, but Yihyeon’s arm was hurting so much that it hurt his back, and he couldn’t get out. Perhaps the effects of sleeping gas and anesthesia had already been maximized, and it was difficult to endure the pain in the shoulder.

At that moment, Joohyuk, who suddenly approached, grabbed Kim Seokwoon’s hand with the anesthetic gun and directed it towards his neck. Startled by what had happened by suddenly jumping out of the thick gas ,two bullets of anesthetic were fired at Kim Seokwoon’s necks. Two long rods with liquid rattled around Kim Seokwoon’s neck.

“Uh… Ugh… ”

It was close to the brain, and Kim Seokwoon’s eyes were opened at once, probably because it was pierced into a blood vessel. Joohyuk grabbed Kim Seokwoon’s arm that was wrapped around Yihyeon’s waist, released him, and pulled him towards himself. Yihyeon’s body fell into Joohyuk’s arms.

He held Yihyeon in one arm and punched Kim Seokwoon’s face with the other hand. Kim Seokwoon, who had lost consciousness, was struck by Joohyuk’s strong fist and collapsed. He couldn’t get up any more, thanks to the two anesthetic bullets lodged in his neck and sleeping gas.

“Ugh… ”

Joohyuk, convinced that Kim Seokwoon was not going to wake up, stumbled again. A while ago, he thought that Yihyeon was in danger, so he could get up and fight without losing consciousness, but now because of the anesthesia, he could not move properly.

Once again, Yihyeon, who was dangling in his arms, felt great. He must have been hit with two anesthetic bullets and inhaled a lot more sleeping gas, but he was still not losing his mind. Perhaps it was because of the pain of the gunshot wound to his shoulder, but he still had to admit his mental strength.

For a moment, his head was spinning. Joohyuk sat down with his knees on the floor. His legs were paralyzed and he couldn’t move properly.

‘Like this…’

He was sleepy and his mind was clouded. His whole body was stretched and heavy as if it was not his.

Memories of that day pop into his mind. It was only a vague memory, but he remembered the unpleasant sensations that made his body stretch like wet cotton and the voice of a child. The terrible memories of that day came with a chill and made Joohyuk’s body cold.

A warm energy enveloped Joohyuk’s body. Like it was natural, Yihyeon put Joohyuk’s arm around his shoulder and grabbed him by the waist. Even though it would be difficult for him to hold his own body, he recklessly supported Joohyuk and moved forward slowly.

Joohyuk, who was already in a state with little strength in his body, had a strange feeling when he looked at Yihyeon’s face as he was supporting him as he walked. The chills that wrapped around his body disappeared out of nowhere, and all that was left was the appearance of Yihyeon overlapping the memories of that day.

Just like then. At that time, a small child, about ten years old, struggled to support him and walked on. Even though he could have escaped alone, the child was persevering. He walked and walked in the thick darkness where he couldn’t see even an inch in front like the sleeping gas around him.

Through the blurry vision, Yihyeon’s black eyes were visible. It looked like his eyelids would close and collapse at any moment, but he was looking straight ahead with his eyes.

Why did his mate, who’s face he can’t even remember, keep showing up on him?

It was about time for Joohyuk’s eyes to close.

“If we go a little further… Because… stay calm… ”

Yihyeon’s weak voice, which seemed strained, tickled his ears. If they went outside, they would be freed from the gas, so he must’ve been saying that, but in his already dazed mind, he was thinking of a vague day that wasn’t reality.

He reached the entrance of the building with the support of Yihyeon. The sensor at the entrance recognized the person, and soon the door opened automatically. The sleeping gas trapped inside the building began to spread out and disperse. The bright light of midday through the broken sleeping gas disturbed Joohyuk’s blurry vision.

Unlike that day, there was no darkness anywhere.

Joohyuk, who had a bright light in his eyes for a moment, lost his mind.

Yihyeon felt that the body he was supporting had become heavier and his legs staggered.

“Ugh…”

In the end, he couldn’t stand it and fell to his knees on the floor. yihyeon, who laid Joohyuk on the floor while breathing heavily, looked around with eyes that had not yet relaxed. Outside of the building, there were two black vans parked besides Joohyuk’s car, but considering that no one came out, it seemed that everyone was inside the building.

As the tension relaxed, his eyes closed and his body lost its strength.

‘Not yet…’

Yihyeon, who was about to collapse, barely managed to hold on to the floor with both hands. His left shoulder hurt so much because of the force in his  arm, but it made him feel better.

He pulled out the anesthetic bullets lodged in his body and Joohyuk’s back, and he still did not relax his tension.

Joohyuk was in danger if another gang of these people in the building arrived. They were obviously trying to kill Joohyuk.

Yihyeon, who nearly fell several times and stumbled, but managed to get up, walked towards Joohyuk’s car with a staggering pace. When he opened the front passenger door, the driver was in a deep sleep with an anesthetic gun stuck in his arm.

Yihyeon, who shook his head a couple of times to not lose consciousness, reached out to the driver and searched the inside pocket of his suit jacket. Looking at the screen of the cell phone that was held in his hand, it seems that radio waves were being disturbed all the way here.
