"The Red Maniac Special Task Force is just for show."
This was the conclusion I reached after hacking Moon Ji-hyuk's smartphone and the police department's computer systems.
The Black Cross Society created the Red Maniac Special Task Force to take credit whenever they captured or killed Red Maniac. It was a temporary unit formed for the police to show off.
"In other words, it's meant to steal credit."
The detectives on the task force are skilled, but not enough to capture Red Maniac. They are ordinary humans without specialized training.
"The Black Cross Society doesn't care about public recognition since they remain in the shadows."
In essence, what I need to worry about is not the Red Maniac Special Task Force but the Black Cross Society, which is secretly moving to find me. The National Intelligence Service is also actively assisting the Black Cross Society in hunting me down.
"I'll have to hack the Black Cross Society headquarters occasionally to stay updated on their investigation progress."
As long as I have hacking skills, I have the upper hand in information.
"But who would've thought this woman was part of the task force?"
Choi Sun-mi.
Team leader of Support Unit 4 at the Korean Black Cross Society headquarters.
An Oxford University graduate, she became a team leader at the young age of 28. She's an elite among elites.
"Her office skills are indeed exceptional. But this woman has no sense of mission despite being part of the Black Cross Society."
Song Da-bom plays Choi Sun-mi in the drama. Although her career is short, her beauty makes her memorable.
In the original drama, Choi Sun-mi is a minor character appearing in the later episodes. She betrays the team by selling information to vampires for money. She eventually confronts Moon Ji-hyuk and pathetically begs for her life before dying.
Most members of the Black Cross Society feel a strong sense of duty, believing they work for the betterment of humanity. Choi Sun-mi, however, completely lacks this sense.
"Moon Ji-hyuk didn't kill Choi Sun-mi; he just knocked her out. The Black Cross Society captured her afterwards. She didn't die but ended up imprisoned."
Thanks to her outstanding looks, Choi Sun-mi was briefly the talk of the town when the drama aired.
In an entertainment program interview, Song Da-bom described Choi Sun-mi as a character who values her life above all.
In short, Choi Sun-mi values herself and money the most. Love for humanity? Hatred for vampires? Those things don't exist for her. She works for the Black Cross Society because the salary is higher than at any large corporation.
"Even if I can't use the other members of the Black Cross Society, I can use Choi Sun-mi."
A smile crept across my face. I couldn't hide my amusement as I began to formulate a plan.
"The first thing to check is what Choi Sun-mi's pussy tastes like."
[Conditions satisfied.]
[Unlocking the 'Shooting' trait.]
[Shooting Lv.1]
[Improves shooting skills.]
"Perfect."
Before executing the plan, I finally unlocked the shooting trait.
I immediately tested its effects. The best way to verify it was by shooting.
On a deserted mountain, I tested my shooting skills with a silenced pistol.
The results were excellent.
My shooting skills, which had been abysmal, drastically improved. It was a complete transformation.
"If the target is within 10 meters, the accuracy rate is over 70%."
I tested it on moving targets, using released mice.
"The accuracy drops beyond 10 meters."
Even so, I was satisfied with a 50% accuracy rate.
"I'd like to raise the shooting level further, but I'm out of points."
[Would you like to use 50 points to increase Shooting Lv.1 to Lv.2 level?]
[Insufficient points.]
It required a hefty 50 points.
"But it's not much."
The shooting trait exceeded my expectations. Its effects weren't limited to just guns.
It also enhanced my skills in throwing rocks, knives, rubber bands, and any other projectile-based actions.
"Plus, it improved my gaming skills. My aim was perfect, boosting my tier by three levels to platinum."
However, advancing further in platinum was difficult.
I was good, but my team's luck was terrible. I kept getting paired with players with awful aim. Even when I gave precise orders, they wouldn't follow them. Damn team, damn game.
"Anyway, the shooting trait is amazing."
Ideally, I'd like to raise it to level 5, but it's impossible without more points.
"Now, let's start the plan."
[Starting Play]
Entering the world of 'Vampire Detective,' I slowly opened my eyes.
I was in the emergency stairwell of an apartment's underground parking lot. I had sneaked into the parking lot without being detected by the CCTV cameras. I wore jeans, a hoodie, and a clown mask with a red wig. I was in my Red Maniac persona.
I checked the current time on my smartphone.
6:52 PM.
"They should be arriving soon."
From the emergency stairwell, I peeked into the parking lot through the door crack. Many cars were entering the parking lot as it was around quitting time.
Most people used the elevator, but some occasionally used the emergency stairs. Whenever someone headed toward the emergency stairs I was on, I would hide on the lower levels.
"There it is. A white Audi A4."
I pulled up my hood and moved toward the car. I had already mapped out the angles of the parking lot's CCTV. My face wouldn't be captured.
I headed to the back seat of the car that had just parked.
[Hacking successful.]
[You can hack the car for 20 minutes.]
The back door was unlocked. I opened it and got in without hesitation, sitting directly behind the driver's seat.
"Huh?"
The short-haired woman in the driver's seat, Choi Sun-mi, was startled by the sudden intrusion.
"Stay quiet. Don't make a fuss, Choi Sun-mi. You wouldn't want a bullet hole in your body, would you?"
Choi Sun-mi, being smart, stayed calm. Her hands on the steering wheel were trembling, but her expression remained composed.
When she confirmed my face through the rearview mirror, her face turned pale.
"…Red Maniac?"
"Yeah, it's me. And this gun is real. Oh, your hand's reaching for your phone? My finger's tightening on the trigger."
Choi Sun-mi gripped the steering wheel tightly again. As she checked my face through the rearview mirror, I could see her face too. I smiled while pointing the gun.
"…Why. Why are you targeting me? I'm not a vampire hunter."
"But you're an ally of the hunters. Team Leader Choi Sun-mi of Support Unit 4."
"Are you going to kill me?"
"If that were my intention, you'd be dead already. It's not too late now. If you listen to me, I won't kill you."
"What do you want? Information about the Black Cross Society?"
"Let's move first. Drive where I tell you. Don't do anything stupid if you want to live."
"..."
Choi Sun-mi tightly shut her mouth and started driving. She skillfully manoeuvred out of the underground parking lot. Her driving skills were impressive.
"Red Maniac. I'm willing to cooperate with you. I know quite a lot."
"I know."
"…Then. Could you move the gun away from my side?"
I had the gun pressed against her right side, signalling to her not to try anything funny.
From her perspective, having a gun pressed against her body was nerve-wracking. If the car jerked, I could accidentally pull the trigger.
"Why should I trust you?"
"...You know I can't escape. I'm just a normal human, not trained for combat like a hunter. And I'm following your orders."
"Still, I can't just put it away. Take off your skirt. Then you'll be too embarrassed to run outside."
"..."
Choi Sun-mi bit her lip. Her expression was one of anger, but even that looked beautiful. Her beauty rivalled Hera's and her breasts were bigger than Hera's.
'…E-cup, definitely. Damn, this is turning me on.'
My dick was starting to react. It was commanding me to grab those breasts and see her nipples!
Squeeze!
Lost in lust, I unknowingly gripped the gun tighter. The barrel dug into Choi Sun-mi's flawless side.
"…Fine! I'll take it off; just move the gun! This is terrifying!"
When the car stopped, Choi Sun-mi took off her tight skirt and placed it on the passenger seat.
Her long legs, wrapped in coffee-coloured stockings, were exposed. Black thong pants covered her private parts.
"…There. Now move the gun."
"Alright. Oh, turn right here."
I moved the gun away from her side, but I didn't let go of it. Sitting in the back seat, I crossed my legs leisurely and gave her directions.
"Left. We're almost there."
"Why, why here?"
Choi Sun-mi's eyes wavered with anxiety.
We arrived at an old, detached house with a private parking lot. The house was built in the early 2000s. It wasn't very big, and the parking lot could barely fit one car. The surrounding buildings were also old. Not many people frequented this area.
Choi Sun-mi probably never imagined a place like this existed in Seoul.
"Get out of the car."
"..."
When Choi Sun-mi reached for the skirt on the passenger seat, I aimed my gun at her to stop her.
"Just get out."
"..."
In the end, Choi Sun-mi had no choice but to get out without her skirt. After making sure she was out of the car, I pocketed her smartphone and stepped out as well.
It's October, and the weather is getting chilly. Choi Sun-mi shivered as the cold wind blew.
"Head to the front door. The passcode is 679867."
This detached house was my property. The land and building prices in this neighbourhood were significantly cheaper than in other places. Most notably, a family murder occurred in this house a year ago, causing the price to plummet.
Choi Sun-mi hesitated. She clearly didn't want to enter the ominous, old house. The thought of being tortured or raped inside probably crossed her mind too.
"Stop dawdling."
I pressed the gun barrel against her ass and slowly moved it up her back, stopping at her nape. The cold metal that could kill her with a single finger made her tremble with fear.
"Let's go. There aren't many people living in this area, but there are some. If anyone sees us, I'll have no choice but to kill you."
Finally, Choi Sun-mi punched in the code and entered the house.
Inside, the house was filled with the cold, stale air typical of uninhabited homes.
I pushed her further into the living room. It was empty.
"To the right. That's the master bedroom."
She hesitated again at the bedroom door.
The room was quite spacious, with a large bed in the centre and three professional cameras set up on tripods around it. The kind you'd see in a broadcasting studio.
Anyone looking at this room would think of one thing: porn.
With a bed and cameras, what else could it be?
I extended my left arm and pulled Choi Sun-mi toward me by her chest. The gun in my right hand pressed against her temple.
"Ahh…! P-Please…"
Her large E-cup breasts felt even better than I had imagined. The bra was a bit of a nuisance, but it added to the sensation.
I laughed at the sight of Choi Sun-mi trembling with fear. There was no such thing as a cold city woman. She was just a terrified lamb. Afraid of my gun, she didn't even try to push away my hand fondling her breasts.
"You have two choices. Die here or do as I say. Which one will it be?"
"S-Save me! I'll do anything! Please!"
