Chapter 1

You’ve Got The Wrong House, Villain 01

01 . Before she became the neighbor of the heroine

–

I was 10 years old when I first realized my past life . There are some areas where it is unclear to say that I’m 10 years old, but for convenience, I might as well think so . And to explain it, I have to talk first about an event that was a big turning point in my life . That day, I got caught pickpocketing and was being beaten with fire .

Thwack! Bam!

“Did you think today was your big day? How dare you pickpocket me because there’s no one else to rob?”

That day was really an unlucky day . I thought the man with the smell of money was a merchant or tourist who went astray on the road, but I was completely wrong . It’s not like I was an officer of a new criminal organization that just received this area . It was a mistake that I didn’t know that the face was unfamiliar and was the bottom person . Moreover, it was a mistake to think that a man was so stupid and easy . The moment I reached out to the back of the man’s clothes, I was soon thrust to the floor with my hands behind my back .

“I’m felt something dirty touch me!”

“Hey, I don’t have time, just do it in moderation . ”

There was a colleague at the side who tried to stop him with a lukewarm attitude, but it didn’t help much .

“No, I’m sorry… Aah!”

The man pushed me into an alley and hurled a random kick at me . There were many abandoned children here in the slums . And there were also adults who gathered the children together and gave them sleeping bags and snacks, which provided food . For a good-looking kid, they occasionally gave away cheap junk food such as candy made with sugar water . I was living there hiding my gender and pretending to be a boy because I didn’t get accepted in the crowd . It was possible because I was still young and had my hair cut thickly and had my face covered with a big stick(?), and my gender was not yet revealed .

Thwack!

“Ptoo(spitting)…! Bitch irritates me . ”

The man spit sideways as he looked down at me with merciless eyes . I was famous among the children in the crowd, but I was so unlucky that day . I got caught pickpocketing and got beaten up several times when I first started . But this was the first time it was so severe .

The guy next to him clicked his tongue as if he were in a hurry, but that was the end . They left me alone in the alley . I thought it was a good thing that it was over . If it had been worse, I might have died . I got up to go back to the group, but I could only move a few steps and passed out . And when I opened my eyes again, I was being sold to a human trafficking ring .

*********

Where I live, slavery was not illegal . Of course, it was forbidden to kidnap and sell random people on the streets, but I was from the slums without parents . So even if I was gone, there was nobody to find me . Even the group I belonged to would not have tried to find me . It was not uncommon for people to go missing one day in the slums . I was like that, and while I was lying on the alley, I was sold as a slave by passerbys .

“This time, 50 people that are healthy . ”

“Oh, come on . I’ll pick one for you this time . ”

Lucky or bad . I was sold right away on the day I was handed over to the top of the slaves . It was a suspicious person who bought me, wearing black clothes from head to toe . From the sound of his voice, it seemed like he was a man of considerable age . When I heard the slave trader groaning, it seemed that this wasn’t the first time he’d taken many slaves at once . This time, I was taken to a cart with other slaves, and after a full two-day journey, I arrived at the destination .

“What, are you dying? Besides, it’s only blood, right?”

I was sick in the cart and was found only then . The aftereffects of being beaten in the alley seemed to have been unknown, as he did not check on each slave’s status when he bought them .

“Ha, you son of a bitch . I’ve been so good to you last time, and you’re selling me something I can’t even eat?”

The man frowned irritably . The man who took off his hat and revealed his face looked older than I thought . He looked at me disapprovingly and soon clicked his tongue .

“Tsk . I can’t do that . ”

It was too much to go back to the top of the slaves now, so I just decided not to return myself but to go inside . But it might have been better to be abandoned or killed that day . Because I arrived at the Institute of Bioscience, which is notorious even in the criminal city of Carnot .

*********

“Is it all this time?”

I was immediately put in the lab . There was a strange smell, and there were depressing cries everywhere .

“It’s similar so far . I don’t think this would work for you anyway?”

The woman there replied sourly to the man’s voice . Then her eyes turned to me hanging from the man’s side .

“But who’s that little kid? Have you been deceived again this time?”

“Who is the messenger?! I picked this young man on purpose . ”

It must have hurt his pride to let them know that he was swindled by a slave dealer . The man pretended to be serious as if it was his intention to bring me in .

“Put ‘it’ in his body . ”

“Really… Are you serious?”

“I’ve only been trying on an adult body, so I’ll change the method this time . ”

The woman seemed reluctant at first, but at the end of the day, at the man’s command, she took me to a bed . My eyes were blurred at that time because I was boiling with a high fever . The sound of two men exchanging talks over me was fading away . So I couldn’t remember what happened to me right after that . But they tied my wrists and ankles to the bed and stabbed me in the neck with a sharp needle . I could feel something penetrating into my neck that I couldn’t identify . After that, I passed out, feeling a terrible pain like my whole body was being smashed . And I dreamed for days of a group of black spiders eating me . Then the pain slowly receded and the reason which had been forgotten, finally came back .

I remembered my previous life’s memories .

Just as water poured out of a broken jar, memories of the past that had been buried suddenly popped up . I am not an orphan of simple blood circulation as it is now, but I remember the sweet days with my family . The daily leisurely life of lying in bed while hugging a dog in my arms and reading a book that I borrowed from my younger brother . After the college exam, I had a chat with my friends until late at night . And then late one night, on my way home, I was pushed by a drunk person and fell to the street . It was a bright and glittering light that swallowed me right up after that . This time, I wandered through countless days in my memory, whether it was a dream or a fantasy .

“It was successful……!”

Then one day, the voice of a man full of joy woke me up .
