Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 42: Confidante (2 of 3)

People are squirming on the ground everywhere, yet T places the gun behind his back and walks through them like there's nobody there.

He goes back to the fallen log that he was at before and sits down.

"Jungkook, please give them your verdict," he says.

Jungkook glances at the farmers and doesn't say anything.

T lifts his head again and looks towards Lisa, "You sit down as well," he pauses before continuing. "Kang Min has already received his punishment."

Lisa takes a quick look at the body on the ground and suddenly understands why T had to cut through Kang Min's back and kill him by using such a cruel method.

It's because Kang Min swung a bat at her back and T saw it. An eye for an eye; a taste of his own medicine.

Lisa has mixed feelings on this. After a moment of silence, she sits down on another log.

Jungkook says, "I can make a verdict, but hand them over to me afterward. They will be trialed in the courts, instead of you carrying out justice on your own."

T looks straight and remains quiet for a few seconds.

"Okay."

Jungkook walks to Lisa and also sits down.

The auras from their bodies are mixed together again. Lisa feels a lot calmer. She stares at the side of his face, and he's also looking back at her with the corner of his eye. Their eyes meet. They see the fire in each other's eyes, as well as each other's dark, deep, and clear pupils.

Jungkook pauses his gaze on her for a moment before turning to look at the front.

"How many people have you guys killed altogether?"

Following his question, T lifts up his gun again, pointing it directly at the oldest looking farmer. The farmer trembles seeing the gun aimed at him and stutters, "W-We've....k-killed...four. "

Jungkook's eyes become cold. But just before he speaks, a loud "bang" appears. That farmer screams in pain as he covers his right shoulder. Jungkook and Lisa both turn to look at T. T is still holding up the gun with his eyes looking like they're covered with a sheet of ice. "I'll give you one more chance. How many?"

The farmer says sounding like he's about to cry, "S-Seven......Seven!"

Jungkook and Lisa remain quiet. T finally puts the gun down.

"Who were they?" Jungkook asks.

"6 of them were young backpackers, and one.....one of them......" the farmer hesitates, "was my grandpa."

Jungkook and Lisa are stunned. And Dal Rae and the others are so scared that they don't dare to make a sound. They're afraid that T will go after them once he finishes punishing the farmers.

"6 athletic outdoor people. 4 have been found, and their deaths were concluded as accidental. The other two had too many obvious wounds. They were dumped into the valley, and you policemen haven't found them," T says.

The farmer's face turns pale as if he has just seen a ghost, "H-How did you know?"

T smiles coldly but doesn't answer.

Jungkook takes a look at T and then continues asking, "Why did you kill them?"

The farmer answers, "Backpackers who get lost usually have much good stuff . If it was a girl, we would sleep with her. If we didn't kill them, they would have reported it to the police. My grandpa had been against us doing this. One time, he said he would go report it to the police, so dad told us to kill him."
