Bab 26: Taking Action

When Jin reached the slums, it was nine in the evening. It was still too early to act, so he wandered around the place. He went to his old home. There was someone else staying there.

It was natural since Jin had given up on it and didn't put a lock on the gates the last time he visited. Not that putting a lock would matter much... it's the slums we are talking about.

Jin didn't disturb the people inside and continued to loiter around the place. He had started to grow hungry a bit but he controlled him. A hungry lion is the most dangerous. Jin didn't want to let his guard down by relaxing.

He soon found a place in the darkness and sat there while waiting for time to pass. He observed that target from time to time to understand his movements.

The target went to a local food store and came back to his hideout. After that, he didn't come out of the place. Time passed...

3 hours later.

Jin was currently snuck behind a worn-out wall of the hideout. His surroundings were mostly dark so it helped him further in hiding.

The bad thing about slums was that there were no toilets inside the houses. So if someone wanted to release their pressure, the only place was in the bushes or a few community toilets placed here and there.

Jin knew this fact quite well. He had been keeping an eye on the target for all this while and the man had not stepped out of the hideout even once until now.

Jin was sure that the man's bladder was about to give in and he could come out any moment and that's what happened.

A minute later the sound of a door opening soon entered Jin's ears. It was a little dark for Jin to make out but he could see a figure coming out of the hideout. He cross-checked it on the map and the target was indeed on the move.

The man soon walked towards the side of his hideout and started discharging his pent-up fluids.

Ah~

Jin who had successfully sneaked right behind the man by now heard him moan lightly, 'You sure are enjoying it...' Jin thought to himself.

Jin initially wanted to wait for the man to finish up before taking his life but he soon changed his mood. A few droplets splashed behind the man after hitting the wall...and to Jin's luck...it was on his face.

His mood soon soured and the plan to wait for the man to finish disappeared.

While the man was on cloud nine he felt a hand wrap around his neck. It immediately awakened him from his daze and out of reflex he hit his elbow behind him.

A muffled sound came. Jin was hit right in the stomach. If not for his regular exercise that had strengthed his abs somewhat Jin knew that he might have let go of the man's neck.

The pain inflicted on him instead made Jin tighten his hold on the man's neck even further as he dragged him backwards to create a distance between his body and the man's.

The man tried to stay on his legs but Jin's continued retreat made him fall backward. This added an additional strain on his neck and further prevented the blood from entering the brain.

"Y-you b-bastar-" the man tried to reach his hands back. He wanted to poke Jin's eyeballs so that he could get a chance to escape but Jin didn't let him. Whenever the man's hands reached close to his head Jin moved his head away.

'He sure is a tough one,' Jin thought as he continued on with his chokehold as the man struggled.

Finally, after 3 minutes of intense struggling the man's movement slowed down. Jin held onto him for another few seconds to make sure that he was really unconscious.

He didn't want him to die. Jin was still unsure as to whether he could take the appearance of someone dead...he had never tried it...and if that was not possible then he would end up losing his system! That was unacceptable!

Therefore, rather than just killing the man he went through this arduous route of choking him. As to whether taking the identity of a dead person...Jin would verify it later on when the stakes were not so high.

'If only it wasn't so dark and I was able to pinpoint his neck's pressure points...' Jin thought as he used his morph ability to acquire the appearance of the man into his system.

Once that was done Jin crouched down on the ground and grabbed the man's neck.

SNAP

A voice rang and a notification panel appeared in front of Jin telling him about his mission's success.

Mission Accomplished

Reward:500KP

Jin saw the notification and felt a sense of accomplishment was felt by him.

'This has started to become fun...' Jin thought.

He grabbed the lifeless body and dragged it into the hideout before closing the door.

Jin could hear a muffled sound of breathing when he entered so he knew that he wasn't alone in the place, 'That must be the person who was kidnapped,'

Jin reached for the lights and switched them on. A dim light soon illuminated the place and the beaten-up body of a scrawny middle-aged man was lying unconscious in front of him. If not for the light breathing sound Jin would have thought he was dead.

The man had his eyes tied with a cloth and his mouth taped. His hands and legs were restrained aswell. There was no way for him to escape if Jin didn't help him.

When Jin was wondering whether to help the man or to let him be another mission panel popped up.
