《Call Of Death》Chapter 83 : Why Now?
Advertisement
Devius and Cameron both looked very confused and in shock. Everything happened in a glimpse of an eye. It made them hard to easily digest it. After a while, Ju Jin Su lowered the gun he is holding on the table next to him. This time, he knew the time was was almost over. He knew the end of the chapter was approaching and no matter what happened, he would do everything and he would not leave Red alone. He will accompany him wherever he goes, forever.
He took a step towards Red's direction but Red pointed his gun at him, signaling him to not go nearer. He looked down at Red and met his gaze. Tears avalanched from his eyes.
"Red, that's enough. Everything is over now." He mumbled.
Red looked at him with an angry yet sad eyes. "I-I should have known it. I should h-have known that y-you'll betray me too. N-No one will ever be l-loyal to me. Everyone will betray me for Lee Jin Hong! How stupid am I to believe that you will always stay with me." He laughed and with the strength he has left, he pushed himself to stand up.
Detective Lee carefully laid Harry down the floor and went to Devius. He held his hand tightly as they watched Red slowly step back. Red held his hand and press his wound to stop it from bleeding. He took a deep breath and looked directly at Detective Lee.
"Crimson, Lee Jin Hong or whatever you're preferred name is, you should never have lived the life that was supposed to be mine and Lee Han Se's. You're acting as if you're the hero yet you're the villain yourself. You're acting like someone who will save people but you're the one who'll hurt them and get them killed. Now, since you got Sed's loyalty, I don't have any reason to act humanely." He said in a long litany, pain and anger are visible in his eyes.
"Hyeol—"
"You shut up, Sedis!" He angrily turned and yelled at Ju Jin Su. "You don't have the right to call me by that name ever again."
"I—"
"You shot me with the gun I gifted you. You shattered the trust that took me years to finally give you." Red cut Jin Su's sentence.
Red felt angry. He felt betrayed. He felt extremely hurt. Detective Lee and Officer Chad were just looking at him and Ju Jin Su. For Detective Lee, he's scared but relieved that he's holding the officer's hand now and he could have the chance to protect him if anything ever happens. But for Officer Chad, something is playing inside his mind. He remembered Ju Jin Su saying that he doesn't plan on hurting or killing him not even Detective Lee. But now, looking at the man's expression, he doesn't believe that Red will spare any of them.
"Hyeol, I don't have a choice!" Ju Jin Su reasoned.
Red smirked and laughed. "You've already taken your choice and that is to betray me for Lee Jin Hong. You chose them over me, Sedis. I'm not an idiot!"
"Hyeol, please—"
"I've planted bombs around this building." He said, Cameron, Devius and Ju Jin Su all looked shocked as Red took out something from his pocket. "One click of this thing and everything will blow up, we will all die together."
"Hyeol, don't do this!"
"Red, if you do that, you're also going to die!" Devius said.
Red smiled. "I don't care, at least I won't die alone." He grinned.

"No! I won't let you do this, Hyeol!" Ju Jin Su charged towards Red and tried to take the button from him.
With his wound, Red struggled to get Ju Jin Su away from him. Cameron and Devius went to Harry's direction. They watched at the two ramble for the red button.
"Hyeol, there's still time for you. Please don't do this!" Jin Su said while struggling with Red.
"You don't have the right to tell me anything. You already lose what I have given you!" The latter said and kicked Jin Su away from him.
"No! I still have the chance to save you from being devoured by your anger!"
"Save me? You're the one who made me more vicious, Sedis!" He talked back.
Devius stared at Red who's pressing his bleeding wound, his face shows that he was in pain. The guy's face is already turning pale. That means, even if he's putting pressure against his wound, it's still bleeding badly. His blood is already flowing down the floor and his looks aren't good anymore.
"Cai..." He whispered in Detective Lee's ears.
The detective looked at him. "What is it?"
"Red's condition isn't good. If this continues, his life will be in danger." He mumbled.
"What do you want to do, then?" He whispered in a worried tone.
"We have to save him." He mumbled to the detective.
Cameron shook his head. "How can we save him if even Kairo can't stop him? He's got bomb all over the place. One wrong moved and we'll all die. It's alright if I'm the only person here but you and dad? I don't dare risking a single thing."
"But, Cai, Red will die if we don't do anything." Devius insisted.
Detective Lee looked at Red and confirmed that he doesn't look good anymore. By this time, Detective Lee is sure that Red is already almost losing his consciousness. He knew if he don't do something, Red's life will be at risk. But looking at how he struggles with Detective Parker, Cameron couldn't think of anything. Ju Jin Su and Red are both tagging and struggling for the button. He know Ju Jin Su is doing his best to not hurt the other but with too much movement, Red's wound is getting bigger.
He doesn't know what to do. He couldn't think of anything. All he wanted to do was save everyone from the bomb that Red has planted and to save Red from danger that his wound us causing. With that, he decided to make a bold decision. He let go of Officer Chad's hand and quickly went towards Ju Jin Su to help him get the button from Red but because of his action, Red step backward and didn't notice that it was a broken window. He lose his balance and almost fell while Ju Jin Su was pushed to the floor.
"Hyeol!" Ju Jin Su quickly stood up and look to the window.
Fortunately, Cameron managed to grabbed him before he fell. So, Red was hanging on a four storey building. His right hand was holding the button while his other hand was being held by Detective Lee, preventing him to fall to his death.
"You! What are you doing? Let me go!" Red shouted as he do his best to break free from the detective.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to die?" Cameron scolded.
Red smirked. "What? You care for me now? Just let me die and forget about me, just like you did to Han Se."

"Hyeol! Give me your hand!" Ju Jin Su also offered his hand for Red to hold.
"Funny! One betrayed my brother and one betrayed me but the two of you are telling me you wanted to save me now." Red laughed.
"Hyeol, please! Give me your hand!" Jin Su pleaded.
"Why, Sedis? Why save me now when you've already shot me?" He asked and Ju Jin Su couldn't say anything.
"Hyeol..."
"I don't have any reason to live now since the last person I expected to understand me, to trust me, to stay with me and to remain loyal to me had already betrayed me!"
"You shot Mr. Lee, Hyeol! You said you'll never hurt anyone who isn't involved with the plan!" Ju Jin Su stated.
Red's face and lips are starting to get really pail. His expression shows that he's already struggling. Cameron is also having a hard time holding on to Red's hand because of how slippery the blood is since he used his left hand to press his wound earlier.
Red looked at Ju Jin Su in the eye and smiled bitterly. "I never loaded my gun with real bullets, Sedis. I only loaded yours because I know you'll need it for protection." A tear escaped his eyes.
"W-What?" Ju Jin Su stammered.
"I never loaded my gun with real bullets. I loaded it with special bullets that when fired, it will splatter a red liquid that resembles blood." Red explained with tears flowing continuously from his eyes.
Ju Jin Su felt his heart sinking as he took a step backward. He looked at Harry who was still unconsciously lying on the ground. Devius also turned his gaze to the elder. He placed his fingers to feel his pulse and it was still there, very normal.
"Parker! Get to your senses! Help me pull Red up, I'm losing my grip!" Cameron's voice brought Ju Jin Su to his senses.
"No! Just let me die!" Red tried to free himself from the detective's hand.
"No! You have to live!" Cameron insisted. "Come on, Parker!"
Ju Jin Su quickly went to helped Cameron to pull Red back up even if he's struggling so much. When they finally got him, Cameron quickly took the button away from his hand and passed it to Devius. Red's strength is slowly fading as he can barely stand up. His face has gone pale and his hands were already trembling.
"Get off me!" He tried to push Cameron and Ju Jin Su away.
"No. You have to be brought to the hospital or you will die." Detective Lee said as he carried him in a bridal style.
Red winced as he held his wound. "Let me go!"
"Just stay still and don't be stubborn. Your condition isn't good." He held Red tightly but carefully.
Ju Jin Su just looked at them. He doesn't know what to say nor does he know what to do. His mind was blank and his heart was pounding hard. His hands were trembling and his knees felt weak. He could hear them talking but his mind was floating.
Red laughed sarcastically. "Now you want to save me when I just planned to kill you and your lover? Should I be touched and regret seeking for revenge?"
"Just do whatever you wanted but for now, I should take you to the hospital." Detective Lee said and then started heading out of the abandoned building and going to his car.
"I don't need your help! I don't need anyone's help! What if I die? What is it to you now, huh? You left me and Han Se to die before, why care now!?" Anger and sarcasm was heard in Red's voice as he struggles from the detective's arms but Cameron didn't pay much attention to it, he just continued heading downstairs. "I said let me go! Why don't you just let me go, Crimson? Is it because you wanted me to regret hating you? You wanted me to regret every seeking revenge? Is that it, huh?" Red questioned but Cameron didn't say anything until he got to the ground floor.
When he got out of the gate, he walked towards the direction of his car. He opened the door and gently seated Red, he looked at him in the eyes.
"You're welcome to despise me. I know I did something terribly wrong to you and Lee Han Se before and even if we were just kids at that time, I know I cannot be forgiven but I will not let you die. I won't repeat the same mistake I did before, especially because I can save you now." He said which brought Red out of words for a while.
Those words from his childhood friend, Lee Jin Hong, he didn't expect to hear it now. When Red didn't say a word, Detective Lee went around and get inside the car. He started the engine and drove a little bit faster because the nearest hospital is a little far from the area and Red's wound is bleeding heavily.
"D-Do you think I will regret everything b-because you're doing this?" Red asked while they were on the road, his face looked like he's about to passed out.
Detective Lee shook his head. "It doesn't matter whether you regret it or not. What matters right now is for you to be brought to the hospital immediately." He answered.
Red smirked. "L-Look at you being all hero now. I-Isn't it funny? When I was asking for your help to look just once for my brother, you turned your back on me. Now that I'm refusing it, you're very insistent." He chuckled and winced, probably feeling the pain from his wound.
"Just don't talk anymore, you're making your wound worst."
"Huh! Why? Does it matter if I survive or die? It doesn't. I don't have anyone, anyway." He sarcastically said, still wincing.
Detective Lee took a quick glance at him. "You still have Parker."
Red went silent for a while because his vision is starting to get blurry. He knows that he'll lose consciousness any time soon. He doesn't fear death anymore. He had lose his will to live and the pain and numbness of his wound made him realized that he will never have anyone beside him until the day of his last breath.
But before he fainted, he uttered, "No, I don't have anyone, Crimson. Ju Jin Su also betrayed me to save you, just like how Lee Han Se left me alone so you could live and I won't ever want to see him again. I gave him my trust but he threw it away just because he doesn't trust me." He mumbled.
Detective Lee looked at him. "Red, don't sleep! Don't you close your eyes!"
Luckily, they arrived at the nearest hospital right after Red lost his consciousness. Cameron immediately carried Red inside the hospital and the nurse hurried to help them. He said everything about how Red got his wound. The physicians quickly brought Red to the emergency room while Detective Lee was left to answer more questions and sign some papers.

Ashes of the Primordial
With the upcoming shutdown of the servers for Ragnarok Games’ deep dive VRMMO, ‘Ashes of the Primordial’, the player log of those online for the final night was depressingly empty-looking. A revolutionary level of realism drove Ashes to the forefront of the games market, billions of players enjoying their journey to power and glory as an avatar of their own creation. The final enemy of the game-world defeated, the company announced, in line with their stance from launch, that they would be shutting down the game exactly six months after the defeat of Sutr, the final boss. Ammanas, the player responsible for Sutr's defeat, stays online until the end. However, as the countdown hits 0, the start-hub of his dive rig (what would typically greet a forced ejection from a game) was no where to be seen and instead darkness greets him as he fades into unconsciousness. Awakening to unfamiliar sights in an unfamiliar body, one which turns out to be a lot more familiar than he first thought, now he must figure out where, how, why and what to do with the new world he finds himself in. Author note: I don't own the cover, just something found through a google search. This is also my first story and the MC will basically be unimaginably OP yet never really utilising his full power. He just wants to find somewhere to fit in to the new world he finds himself in and despite both his nature as a loner and his interests he will find himself forming connections with the denizens of this new realm. Hope you enjoy
