BTT 131

Hae-jun stopped, his hand on the doorknob. It was strange. Why would Lee A-gon, who had just been released from the Confinement Cell, call him to a place like this? He let go of the doorknob and took a step back.

“You actually came?”

Just then, the door creaked open and two men appeared. They were Espers. Before Hae-jun could run, they grabbed his hand and pulled him into the room. It happened in an instant.

“Lights off. Lock the door.”

The man who pulled Hae-jun in shouted in a low voice. Immediately, the lights went out. The sound of the door locking was also heard.

The Alpha Room was plunged into complete darkness. This room didn’t even have windows. With the door closed, locked, and the lights off, nothing was visible. Hae-jun froze as if turned to ice.

“What’s this, he’s not resisting?”

“Guide Park Hae-jun, you’re not resisting?”

“Maybe the Guide wanted it too?”

“That’s right. Must be.”

The two men laughed and poked Hae-jun. Hae-jun stared wide-eyed into a corner of the impenetrable darkness.

Right now, their words weren’t reaching Hae-jun. He stared into the darkness, trying desperately to calm himself. He needed to breathe. He needed to regain his composure. He soothed himself, repeating the thought over and over.

Calm down. It’s okay. It’s just that the light is gone. Everything else is the same. I’m on the ground, there’s plenty of air. The ceiling isn’t suddenly collapsing to crush me. I’m not dying. I’m okay.

“Hey. Guide, I need Guiding.”

“Me too. But with the Guides provided by the state, you can only hold hands or hug at most.”

“That’s not enough.”

“Especially lately, as my ability has grown, I need more Guiding.”

“Ah, right. I’m telling you this because you might be curious, Guide, but this friend here has a new ability. Mimic. He can perfectly imitate anything someone says. How about it? It was exactly like your ex-boyfriend, wasn’t it?”

“He remembered all the things your ex-boyfriend used to say. When I used Mimic on you, I wondered if you’d really come.”

They chuckled.

“Think about it. Your ex-boyfriend beat my friend to a pulp.”

“You know you’re partly responsible for that, right, Guide?”

“My friend just wanted to talk to you a bit, you know.”

“So, show us your tits.”

“Show us your tits, Guide.”

“Fuck, your dick and balls too. You know, every time I saw you sitting with your legs spread, I stared so hard wondering if I could see the shape of your dick through your pants?”

Their hands groped Hae-jun. Until then, Hae-jun kept repeating to himself. I’m on the ground. The ceiling isn’t collapsing. There’s no shortage of air. I’m okay.

“Wow, fuck, insane.”

“Look at those perky tits.”

“Guide, you’re surprisingly busty, huh?”

“Let me feel your tits. So soft.”

Haham, one of the bastards sucked on Hae-jun’s chest. Then he let out a loud moan.

“Insane. It’s insane. You suck it too.”

A tongue touched the other breast. The two Espers bit and sucked Hae-jun’s nipples from both sides.

“Let’s lay him down now.”

“Strip him.”

They laid Hae-jun on the sofa. His clothes were stripped off. Still, Hae-jun couldn’t do anything.

“Fuck, his dick is huge.”

And then, ziiik, the sound of a zipper going down, and someone’s half-erect penis touched Hae-jun’s.

“Ahhhuu, fuck.”

“Good? That good?”

“No joke. Wow, so this is Guiding.”

Sounds of panting filled the air. Hae-jun twitched his fingers. In the darkness, the two men thoroughly groped Hae-jun’s body.

“Spread your legs.”

“Let’s put a finger in the hole.”

Gulp gulp, the sound of swallowing.

“Wow, woah!”

“What, what? How is it?”

“I just put a finger in and it’s killing me. Insane. This is the real deal.”

“Ah… Guide.”

Hae-jun’s penis was squished wetly against another man’s penis. A single finger inside him was draining his assistance energy. Hae-jun exhaled, ssaeak, and moved his lips.

“What did you say?”

“Guide, what did you just say? A-gon? Ah, your ex-boyfriend?”

“That bastard can’t come. He’s in the Confinement Cell.”

Chuckle chuckle, laughter.

Hooou, the sound of hot, panting breath.

The hands kneading his nipples hurt. They weren’t gentle like Lee A-gon. They only desired Guiding, savagely pressing down on the Guide’s body. As long as they could receive Guiding, they didn’t care what happened to the Guide. They only wanted the Guide’s body and holes.

“A-gon-ah…”

In a voice as thin as a breath, Hae-jun called for Lee A-gon. Hot tears streamed down. He didn’t care what happened to his body. He just desperately wanted to see Lee A-gon.

A dim light seeped into the room. It was a very faint light, but seeing it, Hae-jun felt like he could live.

Huh-uhk, Hae-jun gasped sharply and looked toward the direction the light was coming from. He saw a man standing as a shadow by the door. Hae-jun smiled without realizing it.

“Lee A-…”

Before he could finish calling the man’s name, Hae-jun had to close his eyes against the spray of blood. Immediately after, a heavy body fell on top of him.

Before he could even comprehend what was happening, Lee A-gon pulled Hae-jun into an embrace. The arms wrapping around Hae-jun were hot and wet.

“Hyung.”

“Lee A-gon.”

You came. Hae-jun thought. It’s a miracle. I called for you, and you really came.

“Just wait a moment. Just a moment.”

Lee A-gon was trembling. Was he cold? Why is he trembling? Come here, Lee A-gon. I’ll warm you up.

He tried to take Lee A-gon’s hand, but Lee A-gon set Hae-jun down and left. Soon after, thud, a sound of something being smashed hard in the darkness. And then another thud.

From that moment, Hae-jun could smell the blood. He could tell something very serious had happened.

“…Lee A-gon?”

Hae-jun groped with his hands and crawled toward the hallway. A weak light was coming through the half-open crack.

Finding the wall, Hae-jun fumbled and found the switch. Click, with the sound, light instantly returned.

Squinting his eyes and waiting for them to adjust, Hae-jun suddenly saw the blood spread at his feet. There were countless splatters of blood, as if a large brush had been flicked hard.

And following those splatters…

“Don’t look.”

From behind, Lee A-gon covered Hae-jun’s eyes. But Hae-jun had already seen. Hae-jun’s body trembled violently.

One corpse with its head blown off. Another corpse with its chest crushed. The two men who had been toying with him just moments ago were dead.

“Uh, uh, what are you going to do?”

“It’s okay.”

“What… what were you thinking, you…”

“Shh, look at me.”

Lee A-gon draped his uniform over Hae-jun’s shoulders. Hae-jun looked up at Lee A-gon and shed tears. People had died. Two of them. Lee A-gon, who should be in the Confinement Cell, was outside, and a murder had occurred. This was truly a massive incident.

“You, you need to go back to prison quickly. I’ll handle things here.”

“Hyung.”

“Hurry. There’s no time.”

Hae-jun quickly found his pants and pulled them onto his legs. Now he saw that blood was also smeared on his own body. His clothes were the same. Still, it was better than Lee A-gon. Lee A-gon was covered in blood from head to toe.

“Let’s move.”

He took Lee A-gon’s hand and left the Alpha Room. As they stealthily walked, about to exit the welfare center hallway, suddenly a siren blared and red warning lights began spinning wildly.

Weeeng- Weeeng- Weeeng- Weeeng-

A high-pitched, shrill siren sound that grated on the nerves echoed. Hae-jun’s face turned pale.

“Hurry!”

He grabbed Lee A-gon’s hand and ran. He needed to think. He needed to regain his composure and devise a plan.

Fortunately, there was no one in the hallway. They hadn’t encountered anyone on the way here either. No one knew about the two corpses in the Alpha Room yet.

Then what was this siren and warning light for? What had happened?

Had they perhaps noticed Lee A-gon’s escape? But that seemed too large-scale for a warning. This level was at least a Jindo Dog Alert…

Even after leaving the welfare center, the siren didn’t stop. The siren was blaring throughout the entire base, and a few Espers, who clearly looked like they had jumped out of bed, were staring blankly into the sky.

At first, Hae-jun was only figuring out how to escape their notice, but when he saw all the Espers looking up at the sky as if on cue, he too followed their gaze and looked up.

And there, Hae-jun could see an astonishing sight.

“What is that?”

Hae-jun rubbed his eyes and muttered.

Deep in the night, well past 3 AM. In one corner of the sky, where bright starlight twinkled like scattered salt, there was a red rift. It was as if the void had been sliced open with a knife.

Hae-jun rubbed his eyes once more. Having just seen a corpse for the first time in his life, Hae-jun thought he might be hallucinating due to shock. It was that strange and nonsensical a phenomenon.

Between the training building and the science building, a red-glowing rift, appearing to be about 2 meters wide, was opening. That red rift, as if it had torn through dimensions to appear.

This was the Republic of Korea’s first Gate.
