Neurolink System in the Modern World-Chapter 286: River Sin

We didn't head directly to the village; instead, we made a turn and continued our journey.

Along the way, it became evident that the girls were feeling a bit uncomfortable with their clothes soaked in sweat.

I still felt fresh right now, but a shower would be good. I think the others were thinking the same thing, so the moment I saw a river in the distance, we decided to go there.

"It's a river!" Rei Mei exclaimed in joy, and suddenly, she vanished, already way ahead of us.

She started undressing, leaving only her pink underwear, and without waiting, she jumped into the river.

*SPLASH

She was like a child in an adult body. Even Min-hee was more reserved than her.

With that, we also made our way to the river and took a bath.

Min-hee started brushing my back, and to be honest, she did more than that without being embarrassed at all.

All Rei Mei could do was curse underwater, and I could tell that she was cursing a lot just from the bubbles around her mouth.

"What's that thing floating?" Rei Mei stood up and pointed at something. This made all of us also look at it, and the moment it got near us, Min-hee's face turned ashen.

"Aunty!" she cried out loud, rushing toward the floating corpse of her aunt. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that her aunt had endured torture before being brutally killed.

As for me, I suddenly felt a chill running down my spine.

'Fuck me,' I muttered to myself, cursing as the image of the corpse's face flashed in my mind.

That was the same woman I saw last night.

I had ignored them and didn't bother to watch it until the end. Who could have thought that they were actually related to Min-Hee?

'Wait, if she's dead, then..' Another scary idea came into my mind. And as expected another floating corpse began to float towards us.

"Cousin Tei!" Min-Hee started sobbing as she pulled their corpses out of the river. Rei Mei helped too.

As for me, I was left utterly speechless.

"Min-Hee, that village we passed by?" I asked.

"Oppa....I think that's my old village back then," she replied with a sorrowful eyes still crying from the loss of her relatives.

'What the hell ! Why didn't you share that important information?' I silently berated her. I would have saved them if I knew that village was related to her.

"Oppa, they killed them! Those heartless people killed them ! " Tears began to flow more in her eyes, and even Rei Mei felt sad looking at Min-hee's sad face.

"Those bastards!" I gritted my teeth in anger, acting like I was genuinely angry for her sake.

"Don't worry, Min-Hee, I will avenge their death. The moment we rescue your sister, I will kill every soldier we meet." I declared with a loud angry tone.

"We need to rid this world of heartless and evil people!" I added, trying to bolster my bravado when, in fact, I was partly responsible for her family members' death. I felt like that Spider guy right now when he just ignored a criminal.

Not his problem?, then his uncle died.

This was it. My character development moment was finally surfacing.

I would become a justice-seeking force here, taking down all evil and becoming the kind of legend parents scare their kids with at bedtime, like the bogeyman.

"Thank you, Oppa," she turned around and hugged me.

"Don't worry. Like I said, I will always protect your interests." I patted her head to calm her emotions down.

After all the crying and stuff, I used my Telekinesis to dig a hole in the ground.

The least I could do for them was to bury their corpse in peace. I even used my telekinesis to craft them a makeshift casket made of woods.

***

It was already in the afternoon when we finally reached our destination. We didn't encounter any army on the way, thanks to my ability to scout from afar, so the first plan on our list was handled quite well.

In the distance, we saw a very large military camp. The North Koreans might be skimping on their citizens, but they were definitely spending money on their army.

I spotted some tanks in the horizon and even some outdated war planes.

"Where is the prison?" I asked Rei Mei, as she had all the information regarding this mission.

"That building over there," she pointed out a square structure in the distance with only two floors.

"So we just need to go there and then grab her?" I clarified. If that was the mission, then it was better for me to go there alone and just let them wait here.

"Yes"

"I will handle this, just give me her picture, all of you sit here and wait,"

"Oppa, we want to come too!" Rei Mei protested.

"It will be more dangerous if you come with me. You can all go and play heroes after I secure her first," I replied.

It was better to add some logic to my explanation, or Rei Mei would not stop bothering me.

"Alright," she gave in.

With that in mind , I casted invisibility on myself and flew towards the army camp.

With all of my abilities it would be impossible for anyone to see through me.

I hovered over all the soldiers with ease , and seeing them laughing , made me smile.

'Enjoy yourselves because I will harvest each and every one of you soon,' I laughed .

Just imagining the amount of EXP and Skill points I would earn was enough for me to grin like a maniac.

Forget about level 20; I could level up more if I killed everyone. At the same time, I didn't have to hold back at all. I could finally unleash my full power here.

I was so restricted in Seoul, but in this place, I could try out all those techniques I'd imagined in my dreams.

'I'm excited '
