Accidental EnCOUNTER | Slow Updates

Chapter 11: Maniac 2

Just as they were cleaning up the store, Yonghoon detects an evil spirit at a school in the city center. That sounds hard in Yeon's opinion, city center has people surrounding the area 24/7. It is not easy for them to sneak anywhere without being unnoticed. Nevertheless, Yonghoon started the van and starts to drive. They agreed to leave Kanghyun behind in which Yeon suggested first. Kanghyun took notice to this and nodded before waving them goodbye. He finishes cleaning on his own while the rest head to the school.

Since Yonghoon was the one who drives, Yeon had a chance to look at some info Kang Joon had shared with her on her phone. She opens the file and looked through the profile.

Lee Hyeonjun, currently 22 y/old, supposed to be in prison but managed to escape 2 months ago, his crime was attempted murder once and a few other minor acts that adds up. His sentence should be longer but since he committed his crime when he was a minor so he was sent to a juvenile center. He was in and out of the center throughout his stay since he somehow managed to escape a couple of times before so it was not surprising that he manage to escape prison as well.

He was indeed dangerous as what Kang Joon said and she knew she won't go far if she does this alone. She's basically giving her life away if she handles him alone. Yonghoon was curious on what she was reading on her phone since she's so focused but because she didn't mentioned anything, he doesn't want to ask any further.

It took about 45 minutes to reach there since it was the city center and the traffic was bad. They split up as soon as they reach the mall since they were running out of time already. Dongmyeong was the one who found the evil spirit in the art room, trying to murder another student that was begging for his life. He pushed the student that has the evil spirit inside of him so that he stumbles to his side. They fought before Dongmyeong called out the other members.

The student was a level 1 but it was still dangerous since he held a knife in his hand that could easily pierce any of Dongmyeong's body part. He fought his best but the knife was still in the grip of the murderer. His breath hitches every time the knife was near his eyes. Since the school was one of the private school in the city, it was big enough for nobody to hear them fighting even though they were still in the same area. He admits that fighting was not his strength but that doesn't mean that he didn't have some tricks up his sleeves. He found a good opportunity to push the students towards the blackboard so that his back hits the part where the chalk was, although it was not sharp, it was still steel that hits his back.

The student grunted and the knife was dropped. That was Dongmyeong's opportunity to knock him to unconsciousness and sent him to Yung. The others only reach to him when he was in Yung, sending the evil spirit away. Harin carried Dongmyeong back to the van since he was still in Yung although the evil spirit had left the student's body. Dongmyeong was still unconscious.

"Unji noona, I have a bad feeling. Is something bad going to happen?" Dongmyeong was in Yung, wanting advice from his spirit partner. Unji starts to look concern, "As long as I met you, Son Dongmyeong, your intuition is never wrong." Dongmyeong wanted to know more about this feeling of his when they heard footsteps coming running towards them. "Myeong Hae ssi, what's the matter?" Unji asked out of concern when she saw Myeong Hae, Kanghyun's spirit partner panting. "Kanghyun... he's in danger. Hurry up and go back, or else.." Dongmyeong immediately went out of Yung and wake up to see that he's in the van with them.

"Yonghoon hyung, Kanghyun hyung is...." Hearing Dongmyeong's voice is enough to make Yonghoon press the gas pedal to accelerate the car while everyone hold on to something due to the sudden speed.

The sound of the crinkling plastic bag could be heard from inside the music room where Kanghyun was laying on the floor, reminiscing his memories. It wouldn't stop playing in his head. It's like the replay button keeps getting hit and the pain gets worst every time it gets replayed. The sound soon stopped and the footsteps were getting further away each second. He didn't even have the strength to get up and take the plastic bag that was just on his door. He's tired, knowing that a maniac has escaped, his worst nightmare came back as he just wanted to move on in a new life. It's been 2 peaceful years... why now?
