DS Ch 13 part 1

EunHa awoke e4d0734066 from the 32694df909 darkness. She felt someone 26be2cf6e3 carefully touching her 2589fdcb9e cheek. EunHa slowly opened c79c5e446e her eyes as ab071a7ef5 KyungHyun continued to 8dbe0f6bd0 sweep his hand 00cddc44bf across her face.2d77481c42dbbff3

“If you’re okay, I’m planning on getting us out of here. The transaction will begin soon. When it does, everyone here will scatter, and we’ll escape then.”d36d35ef5eb06c1e

Li Kahui 002b01ae08 had given 344c438c95 Im SungJoon af7b92a3d1 two hours 7040bf7383 to prepare e51249e560 the money. It was 2abd216cb7 now almost 5e7cb43b63 4 AM. There was less 1ec09f1a4c than 30 minutes 94d8b27762 left.

[Go upstairs and make sure.]

One of 6cdc6a054f the men 67e5dc48fd pulled back bb55670c43 from the dc95dbab48 mahjong table 4b41215dea and checked 34a6c56a04 his phone. Then he hurriedly e1dcd3ce3c went upstairs and 6fbad63149 disappeared. Unable to 6e090e53bf understand their aa666f1b65 conversation, KyungHyun 8e27c1a68e could only 660c442f36 stare outside 1fbc7894d3 the iron 2e45f67a46 bars.

The remaining 93779ef6b9 Chinese man 92a88449fb glanced at d0ba481a8d them before 46360ae207 smacking his 5f69593f37 lips as 3672da8532 he tried a2d83b138e to win 873f3ac940 over his d66e7c0080 sleepiness.

“Don’t look outside.”49c3c65e89e8f0cb

KyungHyun murmured quietly. Without taking 60532bf616 his eyes 3bedd538da off hers, 1fdf7e3df2 he began 831f710f1a to move f014807783 his arm. He stretched 5f20b7e7b4 his hand 7b1afb0be7 through the 07d3fa95e2 iron bars 51a43eba6e and quickly 36553f61d4 snatched the 4b710883c1 wooden stick 1754c8f60c that was 8a38171d04 lying on 6b6634e63d the floor.e6a9bc844714d57c

He approached the 7a2b5d4555 iron bars when 1eb5faa0ed KyungHyun swung the 7a54bccd9b wooden beam with cedb5aef9f protruding nails precisely dee5ef58a5 at his stomach. As the 7b068bb232 man let e2c2d95ba0 out a a0912096fc cry and 630a0e480d clutched his cc9b9942e4 stomach, KyungHyun d1429abb7a struck a 3f301cc64d blow at 6ceec5de43 his head.

The man began to 28312e7417 grind his teeth from 6922b47728 the sharp pain. His face was red 15a39f964d with rage. As if provoking 19ade21889 him, KyungHyun threw e9e3c79873 the wooden stick 30b2a03f78 onto the floor ad2346fe01 and rammed his 70aa696677 fist against the 471ea9496b iron bars.1b3d47b55460f92e

The man c11cf039ba thrust his a25f11b522 knife haphazardly 986cd5c3d2 through the 6a876389d7 iron bars. KyungHyun grabbed his wrist 1790a5e6af and wrenched his arm c12aa501c5 to the side in 87c454ab6c one breath. It seemed 80047dcaa3 that KyungHyun 2f11f24815 had been 3c852b3103 waiting for a505f484e0 the man 43f75f670d to come 5838b213f9 closer all 1ac9c52df0 along.92d906cc4ea6c0ba

[Aaagh!]

There was a snap. It sounded like his bone had been completely dislocated from the joint. The man dropped the knife due to the pain. KyungHyun immediately snatched the knife from the floor.

KyungHyun’s cold face twisted. He checked both pockets, but there was no key. The man who had disappeared upstairs probably had it. Did they have to wait for him to return? As KyungHyun pondered this, he heard a dull, metallic clink.02ad4fb9192b29e8

Meanwhile, EunHa had picked up a rusty nail from the floor and picked the lock. She finally managed to open the cell door.

He grabbed EunHa’s hand and walked out of the cell. They were currently in the level 2 basement of the building. The entrance to the building was on the ground floor, and the room where they had met Li Kahui was located on the floor above them, basement level 1.3ba88dceb26a8c54

In order to escape this building, they needed to at least get past the level 1 basement. That meant that they wouldn’t be able to avoid Im SungJoon and his men along with the rest of the Chinese gangsters.2283ffa1f3527844

EunHa answered curtly dc0a2a0e23 as she followed 0a4c2e2470 behind him. Unlike the few steps e70f7bb485 they took to come 83c91d9c36 down to basement level 2aa6ea5073 1, there were many b35d46c29f steep steps to basement 29717aa530 level 2.

The cells in the basement looked like prison cells. Its dirty floors were dyed with blood splatters. EunHa didn’t want to know the story behind them. She remembered how Li Kahui had mentioned human fertilizers, and a shiver went down her spine. She had no intention of staying here any longer. With a lump in her throat, EunHa carefully walked up the stairs.b75d4ef4122622f4

They had just reached 7c0a5d76e5 the top of the ce592e4024 stairs when they heard b68ded8edf someone on the other 6cf1621e6e side of the iron 3a0870ea81 door. The handle began 5d71f79a21 to turn.

As EunHa looked up afdfcc11ec at him with wide 0a74ba6518 eyes, KyungHyun pushed her a12b952b10 flat against the wall 7346a81170 and pulled the turning 86a5d06ce2 door handle.12a1c69f079395f2

A faint gleam flashed across KyungHyun’s eyes as he murmured. If this building had been built for the purpose of manufacturing drugs as Li Kahui said, then it wouldn’t be unusual for a few secret passageways to be built inside. It was also strange how the door opening into the level 1 basement had a lock on the inside. If this floor was reserved for imprisoning people, the lock would normally be on the outside.b8257ab94fe2e297
