The Myth

Chapter 9

Seoul National University Hospital 7:00 PM KST

Col. Gong and Sungjae returned to the RV squad after Col. Gong talked to the polices. Col. Gong and Director Lee catch up a bit of course without Col. Gong teasing his "Brother in-law" about marriage.

"Did the suspect spilled something??" Col. Gong questioned as soon as they arrived. They were talking outside the room anyways.

"The suspect has not been spilling something useful as soon as he regained consciousness sir. But he has an unusual tattoo under his collarbone sir." Irene replied. She was annoyed with it.

"Is he saying anything at all??"

"His always answer to our questions is 'I will kill you all' sir. The only thing that is different so far is that he said 'I won't spill anything even if you torture me'."

They were hopeless. They don't know what to do anymore. They look so hopeless so Sungjae wanted to help.

"Samchon you want my help??" Sungjae suddenly blurted that even the girls were confused.

"What do you mean Sungjae-ya??"
"I'll help you guys interrogate the suspect. You guys look hopeless already."

"But how?? They said he looks like he won't spill it whatever we do. We also can't kill him since we have to extract whatever information we can get from him."

"Trust me Samchon. I just need to borrow that knife." Sungjae points at a knife that was on Irene's Boots. Irene then hands him the knife making the girls confused. Irene could only mumble "let's trust him" to the girls.

"Ah Samchon before I forget, you have to promise me you guys won't stop me."

"Okay, I promise." All of them went inside the room.

The suspect was looking at them when they entered.

"I remember you. I'll kill you also after killing them." The suspect points at the girls using his lips.

"That's when you can get out of here." Sungjae answered as he was raising the bed so the suspect can sit. The suspect is now sitting with both his both hands handcuffed to the bed.

"Oh I can. This isn't the first time I got caught." The suspect proudly answered.

"Anyways let's talk." Sungjae then pulled a table then put it a few meters aways from the suspect.

"That's useless. I won't spill anything. There's a reason why they kept me even if I failed multiple times." The suspect boasted. "So whatever torture you put me on, I won't talk. I got tortured many times already."

"A person can only bare limited pain. They'll go into cardiac arrest if they exceed that limit. But a person's fear is endless." Sungjae played with the knife. "Then shall we play a game??" Sungjae made his way to the table he pulled earlier.

"A game??" The suspect confusedly asked.

"Yes, a game. It's called 'The Knife Game.' the rules are very simple. When I hit my finger with the knife I won't throw this knife to you but when if my hand is safe, I will throw this knife to you." Sungjae explained.

"Yah Sungj-" Col. Gong was about to protest.

"Samchon your promised remember??" Sungjae didn't let him protest. Col. Gong just resorted into letting it unfold but not before thinking about the earful he's about to get from his younger sister.

'she'll definitely be furious. I should've thought this through.'

"What would I get in return??" This guy seems interested.
