Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

Inside a dark military tent, the camera focused on Wei Yan’s face. He had a crimson aura flickering in his eyes.

“W, what is that…”

“That’s…”

The protesters murmured to themselves. When Wei Yan soon opened his mouth, the crowd got rowdier in an instant.

– Thisfuckingpieceoftrash,who,whodoeshethinkheis.Impertinenthumantrash

It was an undisguisable symptom shown by demons that were right about to extricate. Their words would come out rapidly while taking a toll on their pronunciation, and this process was called the coming up phenomenon.

– Fuckinghell,dotheythinkthey’retheonlyonesthatcankill? Theonlyonesthatcanswear? Theycan’tunderstandforshitif I trytosmileandbenice…

Currently, the coming up phenomenon was being repeatedly revealed by Wei Yan inside the video. His gaze remained low while veins could be seen in his reddened eyes.

Through videos and images, the populace already had a general understanding about demons. Their perceived image of a demon was being reflected by Wei Yan.

The protesters crumpled their expressions, and some of them even covered their mouths with their two hands.

“This can’t be! This is impossi…!”

While someone was about to unconsciously let out a shout,

– Ahh, stop there please. Anyone that moves from hereon, will have their heads explode okay?

Wei Yan smiled and opened his mouth inside the video.

– You fucking…!”

A voice was heard from someone outside the screen, followed by the tumbling of chairs and furniture. At the same time, the red light intensified inside Wei Yan’s eyes.

– I

Inside the video, he pulled the trigger.

– Told you

Something left the nozzle while something else exploded.

– Not to move!

Soon, something was heard collapsing inside the video. It was most likely a person.

A scream escaped the group of protesters.

“Kyaaaaak!”

“Huhk–!”

“N, noo! Uaaaak!”

Our Professor Wei Yan the Captain did that? Seriously?

It was an unbelievable video. What should never change was being changed inside them, and the support they had been believing in was crumbling.

To some, it was a denial of several years of time they had been loving Wei Yan; a denial of their effort in sending an international letter for his birthday; and a dismissal of their dreams of being confessed by him.

Someone raised his voice and shouted.

“You fucking pieces of trash! Turn it off–! T, this is all made up! It’s all fake!!”

His shout was in vain.

That’s what everyone wanted to believe in and they felt a strange sense of relief the moment they heard such words, but no-one dared to move easily or raise their voice.

They were still caught in the shock of the video and before anyone could move, the film continued on.

– Do humans only listen obediently once they’re scared? Lowly creatures… In fact, I’ve gotten used to it since that’s always been the case.

– …You, you’re not human?

– Surprise. I was a demon.

Wei Yan’s gentle voice was way too similar to the one inside the surprise video he had shared with his fans. Someone ended up tearing up.

“S, stop… P, please turn it off.”

A woman who had been standing at the front of the protesters asked the deputy director with tears, but Zhang Haoyu ignored her words.

“T, turn it off. Please…!”

Meanwhile, Wei Yan’s voice continued.

– The demon that devoured your sons, daughters and friends. Ah, this is not a joke by the way.

“I, I’m telling you to stop…! Please!”

“R, right! Do you think you can get away with this fake video?”

“That’s right!”

The buzzing crowd gained confidence from each other’s shout as their voices became increasingly louder.

– Biruan, your wife tasted like pork. You must have been nice to her right? Her stomach was full of fat.

– Now, wake up all of you. I got this gun as a gift, and it has a decent output. So I recommend you obediently listen to my…

When the video still continued without being stopped, a male with a large build near the back finally erupted out in anger and unsheathed a dagger.

“Stop! Oi–! You can’t fucking hear me? You fucking bastards!!”

He was the manager of the WDT community. No-one was expecting someone to suddenly raise a weapon, so both the protesters and the police were startled.

The man began running with a blade in hand. Being a superhuman, he immediately jumped a head over other protesters and flew toward the screen in an attempt to destroy the display. It was immediately followed by several shouts from policemen.

That was when an opaque plate appeared in mid-air.

Kuung!

It was the skill of the Deputy Director, Zhang Haoyu.

After crashing into a plate of mana, the man fell back. The wrist of the hand holding the dagger snapped as blood oozed out and coloured the road in red.

A sharp shriek left the crowd.

The onlooking protesters felt their blood boiling. Their emotions had reached a level where a slight trigger could cause them to explode.

That was when Wei Yan stared directly at them from inside the screen.

– …What are you doing?

“Ah…!”

“Huk…”

Wei Yan’s gaze contained killing intent. It was a vicious gaze and expression that had never appeared in his thousands of images and hundreds of videos.

– I’m talking to you, ■■ ■■■■■!

Although half of his scream had been filtered, the protesters once again entered a state of shock.

That was the end of the video.

“No fucking way…!”

Someone turned their bodies around.

“Kyaaaak!”

And some refused to accept reality and screamed.

Chaos broke out in an instant. A few of them began running away from the unbelievable reality, while some decided to attack the fabricators and raised their weapons at Zhang Haoyu.

“Ah, ah. Where do you think you’re going.”

A clear voice resonated across the havoc.

“Destroying objects and arson… Just protest quietly; why did you have to flip cars and burn innocent pigs?

“Obstruction of justice, creating social anxiety and several other reasons. Because of those, warrants have been issued against you people.

“And from now on, we will be carrying out investigations to see if any of you have been in league with the demon Wei Yan. Are you surprised? Well, this is why they sent me here.”

Zhang Haoyu made a bitter smile.

“Arrest them.”

Immediately after his words, the military police officers of Lair and Haytling dashed out and began arresting the protesters.

“H, how dare you! Don’t touch me!”

“Uaak! I, I didn’t do anything wrong!”

The group of protesters amounted to several hundreds. A few of them tried to run but opaque plates appeared in mid-air and locked them into a box. The escapers fell on the ground after running into them and were soon arrested by the police.

“This can’t be! Professor Wei Yan, Captain is the person that saved me!”

A woman who was extremely thin, screamed and resisted without even caring about her clothes tearing apart. Thus, Zhang Haoyu walked up to her and crouched down.

“Hello. You’re Chinese right? I know you because I’m a former Security Officer of China.”

“…!”

“You know, you’re the fan that secretly followed Professor Wei Yan into a dungeon raid right? You wanted to steal his undies while Wei Yan was asleep and almost died to a monster didn’t you?”

“N, no…! And Professor Wei Yan saved me!”

“That’s very weird, saving an underwear thief… Maybe it’s because you have no fat in your belly. Just wake up, you crazy bitch.”

“…!”

“Oi, take this lady along.”

“Yes!”

The pandemonium was quickly suppressed.

***

– The extreme protesters of the WDT have all been led to Haytling Central Police Office, and were sent back to their home countries at 11am today…

Checking the news realtime, Bom heaved out a deep sigh.

“I think it’s settled down for now.”

“Yeah.”

Even on the next day, Kaeul and Gyeoul were struggling with the puzzle.

“This isn’t working, ahjussi!”

“Really?”

“I think we’re lacking a piece no matter how I think about it!”

Kaeul whinged, but that was natural considering the piece in Yu Jitae’s pocket.

“Try harder.”

“Hiing. But it’s not working…”

Gyeoul also appeared discontent and her lips were protruding out.

“Ah…!”

That was when Kaeul widened her eyes with a flash as if she realised something. She then gave a frown.

“E, eeeennng…! I knew it!”

“What’s wrong Kaeul?”

“Bom-unni, listen to me!”

Kaeul glared at Yeorum’s room.

“She came back home this morning and came nearby saying ‘what are you doing?’ right? I had a bad feeling so I stopped her from coming, okay?”

“Nn. Did Yeorum flip everything upside down?”

“No? She just obediently walked off so I was wondering what happened. But you know what? I think she stole a piece back then…!”

Kaeul appeared way too serious that Bom ended up smiling.

“That must be the case…! That must be right!”

Enraged, Kaeul ran into Yeorum’s room. “Unni! You’re caught red-handed! What did you do to my puzzle piece?!” she shouted and woke up Yeorum who had been training overnight and was sleeping from exhaustion.

“Ah fuck, what…? Puzzle? What…?” Yeorum’s annoyance could be heard along with her sleepiness while Kaeul grumbled back.

“Uaang!”

And soon, Kaeul’s scream echoed across Unit 301.

“I give, give givegivegivegivegive…!”

When Kaeul screamed after being oppressed, Gyeoul for some reason kneeled down on the ground and tapped the ground several times with her tiny hand.

While saying, “Unni’s a devil! A red devil!” and “Is this monkey crazy…” Yeorum and Kaeul quarreled,

“Guys, let’s stop there.”

And soon, Bom walked into Yeorum’s room and calmed the children down.

Meanwhile, Yu Jitae was blankly pondering about something.

The media was babbling about Wei Yan and the WDT continuously from yesterday morning till today. Stories about Kaeul were hard to find and just like what they always did, the media had shifted their focus to a bigger prey.

Up to here was according to his plan, but there was still something remaining in a corner of his head.

Unless they quit their life at Lair and headed into an isolated island, Kaeul would find out about this situation. She would either hear it from her friend or someone else, and it would be better for him to tell her before that could happen.

However…

A portion of the WDT would disappear but the traces left behind by them wouldn’t. Malicious comments and posts were still spreaded on the internet and if Kaeul happened to come across those, she would be opening up remaining traces of animosity.

The Regressor didn’t like that fact. He wanted Kaeul to live the way she was right now while facing as little hostility as possible, and seeing as many positive stories as she could.

Was there a way to do this…

A method that would fill the communities with happy, enjoyable, good and positive words.

…But no matter how much he pondered, he couldn’t come up with a good method. Even throughout his seven lives, this was the first time he was in such a situation.

Therefore, he decided to ask Bom just in case.

“Hmm… that’s difficult.”

“…”

“Unless we privately make use of a national level of information division… but doing that would make things more complicated right? Doing all that just to cover Kaeul’s malicious comments is a bit…”

While she was touching her bangs in contemplation, her hands suddenly came to a stop with a “…Nn?”.

“What. Anything good?”

“Un… It might be a bit ridiculous.”

“What is it.”

“That, you know the place ahjussi took me to a few days ago.”

“The underground labyrinth?”

“Yes. The washing machine worked there right? And so did the internet.”

Indeed that was the case because BM had brought all of them in from above ground.

“The people there with large builds weren’t easily tired and were always happy right? I heard they could stay up all night…”

Only then did Yu Jitae finally understand what she meant by a ridiculous idea.

30 happy superhuman NEETs, and Ha Saetbyul.

Yu Jitae still had an ace up his sleeve.

“…Would that work?”

Bom scratched her cheeks as if she found it absurd herself. Then, she met his eyes and gave a gentle smile before slowly giving a nod.

The assurance of a green dragon – what did it mean?

“Let’s go right now.”

“Yes.”

“Fucking… damned pieces of shit.”

The WDT community was in a mess.

– Ehew, bunch of trash lol serves you right kekek

– 400 imprisoned LOL Congratulations! 🙂

– Embarrassing （笑）If it was me, I would follow Wei Yan. wwww

Netizens gathered at Wei Yan Defence Team community from worldwide and uploaded all sorts of derisive and sarcastic comments.

“Like, what’s fucking wrong with these bastards!?”

A young man who had been cheering for the WDT from a corner of his room shouted. In just one day, the WDT had become a global laughingstock.

“Of course that thing’s a fake video!!’

The youth couldn’t accept reality but at the same time, he didn’t have the courage to go outside and protest. The courageous ones all ended up in the jail.

“Fuck… these clueless idiots…”

He began typing away on his keyboard. The young man fought with them, but also went around the fan communities of Kaeul which started all this, and began bombarding it with negative comments.

There were several people in the WDT like the young man. Stuck in a chaotic situation without being able to accept the truth, there was nothing stopping them from wreaking havoc.

It was then.

Bizarre people began appearing in communities and forum sites.
