when we are no longer young

21 years ago, a huge mercenary organization that combined child abuse and illegal organ trading appeared in South Korea.This organization is headquartered in the United States, across Asia and North America, committing crimes continuously in many countries, and has been wanted by the United Nations as a reward.

In 1996, this organization extended its evil hands to South Korea.

In the first case, six children were lost, ranging in age from 7 to 12 years old.

Due to the huge nature of the case, the Ministry of Public Security set up a task force to investigate.

No fruit.

They didn't even find a single hair of the child.

The second case happened in the winter of 1997, which was extremely cold that year.The second case lost 8 children, the youngest was 6 years old and the oldest was 14.

The higher-ups were about to scold the special case team to death, but it was useless to scold them to death, and the case was still not solved. None of the 8 children were found, not even a dead body.

The third case was in 1998. This time 12 children were lost, but not even a single body was found.

The task force was disbanded and the case was handed over to the Ministry of Homeland Security for direct investigation.The most elite team went into battle in person, but there was still no result, not even a suspect, and all clues were cut off.At that time, it was even rumored among the people that the child was taken away by ghosts and gods, and people were panicked for a while.

This case has become a huge social vicious case. If it is not solved, how will the people trust the government again.Parents with children do not even let their children go to school anymore, and keep them at home behind closed doors.All parents in the world would rather their children do nothing than not know whether their children will live or die.Although everyone knows that the previous 26 children are already in bad luck.

Strict defense, still not guarded.The fourth case still happened. In 1999, 18 children were lost this time.Five parents also died. They were killed on the spot, probably to protect their children, but unfortunately they did not protect them.

The dead body of the head of the family was chopped up in half, and the intestines mixed with feces and dark red blood flowed all over the floor.No matter how strong the criminal policeman was, he couldn't help but retch when he saw such a scene.

There was a male patriarch who survived for 3 minutes after being chopped off in the middle.Until the people from the Ministry of State Security came.It was impossible for him to speak, and the parents exhausted the remaining strength in their whole body to support the investigators and made a gesture: "The thumb and middle finger are bent, and the other three fingers are upright."

The man died after making the gesture. He held his last breath, probably to tell the investigators about the gesture. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, he also expected to save his child.

This gesture was also the only clue they got for four years.

The Ministry of Homeland Security made a lot of guesses, and finally decided on the direction. This gesture may mean: a person has severed fingers on his hand, and only three fingers remain.

Photos of the corpse were not shown to relatives, but were directly stitched and cremated.Such a corpse will cast a shadow over a person's life.

The murderer commits a crime every year, and the number gradually increases, and the age range gradually expands.The youngest child in the latest case was even 4 years old.This means that the murderer is becoming more and more cruel, and the incident is becoming more and more serious.

Since each case occurred on June [-] every year, this case was named "June [-] Case".

There are even rumors among the common people that ghosts and gods are recruiting children to sacrifice. As long as a few children are donated on June [-] every year, it will be safe for a year.

The investigators of the Ministry of State Security have even formed a habit. As long as June [-] is over, they will breathe a sigh of relief. There will be no more deaths this year, and this year is finally over.

June [-]th has become a new dividing line for the year. Only after June [-]th do parents dare to let their children out, and some even set off firecrackers to celebrate their children's safe passing of the year.

This incident is not just a simple child robbery case, but has already related to the stability and security of the country.If it is not broken, South Korea will no longer have the face to gain a foothold internationally.Korean people will also live in hell.

No matter how many methods there are, the murderer's crimes are still not stopped, and the number of people is increasing, even over a hundred.

Until 2002, Baekhyun lost it.

At that time, Baekhyun was in the fourth grade, ten years old, which was the age for boys to be active.While his mother was cooking, Baekhyun sneaked out to play and never came back.

After a strange fragrance, Bian Boxian lost consciousness.When I woke up again, I was in the basement of a large abandoned factory.

The basement was airtight, and there was a disgusting smell of putrefaction and blood.Baekhyun immediately vomited out.However, he couldn't vomit anything other than acid water after he hadn't eaten.

A little awake, he looked around and found that there was only one bed in the room.There were about a dozen children as old as him, and the children were either huddled in a corner, or lying on the ground like dogs.

There is a strange situation. Generally, in such an environment, children will lean together in fear. It is human instinct to gather together to resist danger.

But none of the children here are leaning against others. They are all far apart, and they look at each other, as if they are very wary.

The door was opened, and several men in masks walked in, bringing a basin of something that seemed to be food.

"Children, today's game has begun!" Following the words from the speaker on the wall, Bian Baekhyun saw something that he would never want to see again in his next life.

The children all stood up, and after a while, a child who looked slightly stronger than the others took the initiative to attack.Fighting like the most primitive animals, with hands, feet, head, nails, and even teeth.

The children were tearing at each other like crazy, and he watched with his own eyes that a piece of flesh was torn off the strong boy's arm with his teeth, and the wound was deep enough to show the bone.The bright red blood dripped first, and then flowed wantonly like a stream of water. The strong child who lost too much blood immediately showed weakness, and other children attacked him together, until his carotid artery was bitten by a child, like an animal hunting Like that, bite on.

The gurgling blood gushed out, sprayed, splashed everywhere, splashed on the ground, in the food in the basin, and on Baekhyun's face...

The child kept biting until the strong child lost his breath and fell limply to the ground.The child let go, his face and body seemed to have been bathed in blood, and his face could no longer see its original appearance.

"Good!" came the voice from the speaker.

"The game is very exciting, today's winner is No. [-]. OK, you can start enjoying your big meal!"

Like dogs, the children pounced on the food bowl, put their heads in it, or put their bloody and dirty hands into it to dig food, as if it was an incomparable plate of food.

Bian Baekhyun just sat there, unable to move for a long time, he felt that the blood in his whole body was congealed, he struggled but couldn't stand up, for a ten-year-old child, the impact brought by such a scene - indescribable.

Until 15 years later, the feeling of being splashed with blood on his face for the first time is still fresh in his memory.I will probably never forget it for the rest of my life.When I was a child, watching my mother kill fish and being accidentally splashed with fish blood, my mother scolded him sternly why he didn't stay away, but gently wiped him with her hands, it was different, not at all the same.

Beads of blood flowed down his hair into his eyes, and he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe them off. He just shrank like that, motionless, afraid that if he moved, the children would pounce on him, just like they did to the strong children just now. rip him off.

This abandoned factory is actually a training base.The outside is guarded by mercenaries. They were captured not for abduction, but for training to become a sharp knife of the ASL organization, a killing machine.

Later, Baekhyun learned from psychology books that this stage is probably to destroy people's willpower and turn people into real animals, completely controlled by the organization.

The rule here is, one meal a day, one death a day.Their chance to get food is to kill one of their companions.It's true here, 'survival of the strongest'.

Either fighting alone, or attacking in groups, killing one person every day is their task.The child with the most outstanding performance that day will be rewarded with one point, and the rewarded child will have the opportunity to sleep on a plank bed, while the others can only curl up like dogs on the cold, damp ground opposite.

Bian Baekhyun refused to kill at first, but he couldn't be alone. In this place, kind people will die first.When Number Seven bit his neck again, Baekhyun finally counterattacked.Hot blood sprinkled on his face, it was the first time he tasted human blood, it was very fishy and unpalatable.

The winner that day was Baekhyun.He was the first to eat, and he slept on the plank bed, and he stayed up all night.

From that day on, Baekhyun really degenerated into a murderer.

In the days that followed, fewer and fewer people died in the basement, and the one who stayed with him until the end was No. [-].The kid with the sharp teeth who was good at biting his neck.

During more than ten days of getting along, Bian Boxian and Number Seven have established a relationship that is not considered a relationship.

The friendship in this place is probably when you dare to give your back to the other party during the battle.

They fight together and are invincible.The bed has been occupied by Baekhyun and Number Seven.

In the last war, only Bian Baekhyun, No. [-], and No. [-] remained.Number two was a child about three or four years older than them, and half a head taller than them.Before Bian Baekhyun came in, No. [-] and No. [-] had always dominated here.

There was no accident this time, Bian Boxian and No. [-] teamed up to kill No. [-].Only, No. [-]'s arm was injured, probably dislocated, or a ligament was injured.

Bian Baekhyun's leg was also injured, he could feel that there was something wrong with the bone.His elder brother had always dreamed of being a doctor and read a lot of medical books, so he followed suit.Perhaps, he is fractured.

The final battle is between Baekhyun and Number Seven.None of them showed mercy and tried their best.At the last moment, Bian Baekhyun threw No. [-]'s head to the ground with his own hands, and the overflowing white seemed to be brains...

"The final winner, number 39! Congratulations, your hell is over!"

There was a sound from the speaker, but he didn't seem to hear it.The corpses of his former comrades-in-arms were in his hands, and he killed them with his own hands.

No. [-]'s subordinates showed mercy—otherwise, he wouldn't be an opponent at all with his fractured bones.

Just before he died, Number Seven said softly to him, "Thank you for allowing me to be here and have my only friend."

Bian Baekhyun was taken out of the secret room, the sunlight he hadn't seen for a long time was so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes.

As a reward for the eventual winner, he was given meat food.

A pot of meat, human flesh.

Made from number seven thigh meat, boiled in water only, with the bone in.

He numbly chewed the meat in the basin. The child who called him "the only friend" was lying in the basin in front of him, being chewed in his mouth.He had never eaten human flesh, and probably no one had.He even felt that it was very fragrant, very strong, and cooked just right...

He thought, Baekhyun has finally degenerated, finally turned into a real killing machine, a pervert who eats human flesh and drinks human blood.

There was gunfire outside, crackling like a gun battle, and then a group of people in bulletproof suits rushed in. The group of people had no time to control him, and they fled or were shot dead on the spot.

When the bullet penetrates into the flesh and blood of a person, the flesh and blood will explode under the tremendous pressure, and the flesh will splash out.Baekhyun, who watched all this, didn't even feel scared.

Because he has seen real hell.

When the scene was settled and the police rushed over and pointed a gun at him, he was still eating the pot of meat in front of him, tearing off and chewing bite by bite.

The police had no way of determining what was going on with the kid, couldn't shoot him right away, and couldn't let their guard down.After all, which normal child would be so safe at the scene of the shootout, eating meat without crying or fussing.

After comparing the photos and confirming Baekhyun's safety, the police put down their guns.

Baekhyun Bian was taken to do psychological counseling. According to the practice and experience, the psychiatrist determined that Baekhyun Bian had selective amnesia and forgot about the bloody part because of the huge stimulation.This is normal, after all, he is only a ten-year-old child.

After a period of treatment, it was determined that Bian Boxian had no abnormalities other than PTSD, and he was taken home.

Due to the seriousness of the case, the Ministry of State Security required strict confidentiality. His parents only knew that a child-trafficking organization had abducted their son. The son’s bone fractures were probably caused by beatings. Fortunately, the child was able to return. His parents held Looking at him, crying like a tearful man, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

Because, no one knows, he has not forgotten anything, the bloody first time he saw, the killing with his own hands, the fresh lives that died in front of him, and the number seven who called him "the only friend" .

He often thought that if he had been a little bit late, the police would have come, Number Seven would not have died, and they would have been best friends like the most ordinary kids on the street.

But there is no if.Number Seven is dead, he killed it himself.

He re-enters the school, but can no longer blend in with the crowd.Dreaming back in the middle of the night, I was awakened more than once, dreaming that he returned to that place again, dreaming of number seven who died in his hands.He didn't even know what Number Seven was called, he only knew that his name was Number Seven and that he was Number 39.
