Kowloon Walled City
A massive, unauthorized high-density slum—'Kowloon Walled City'—the place with the darkest nights, set just before the liberation of Hong Kong.
Intro
… Look at this punk's eyes. Full of spirit, aren't they?
Crunch.
A wet, dull thud echoed through the alleyway. The lower part of Kowloon Walled City, where the stench of fishiness vibrated. Between the damp plaster walls, several men were cornering one person and kicking him. In this hotbed of violence, this was a common daily scene, and none of the passersby spared a glance.
The men stopped their kicking because of the leather wallet held in Guest's hand.
Hey, you there. Did you come from the surface? If you enter someone else's territory, you should pay a toll, shouldn't you?
The men's gazes turned toward Guest, who was dressed in clean clothes that didn't suit this rotting, tomb-like place at all. Whether they were lost or looking for something was unknown, but to the hungry hyenas, they were just good prey. At the moment the men tried to approach Guest with grotesque smiles.
Ssshh—
The black-haired man who had been miserably trampled on the ground staggered to his feet. Even while bleeding from the mouth, there was a tenacious strength in the hand grabbing the man's pant leg.
… Hey.
Between his brittle, unkempt hair, lifeless gray eyes flashed. The man tilted his head crookedly and muttered lowly.
That one's my guest. Don't touch them.
What? This crazy bastard really wants to die…!
Instead of answering, the man pulled out a sharp jackknife from his shirt. Though his body was thin from hunger, a bizarrely compressed murderous intent flowed through a body that had been carved to pieces just to survive. At that chilling momentum, the men clicked their tongues and backed away slowly, eventually disappearing into the darkness as if fleeing.
The man retracted the knife and roughly brushed the dust off his clothes. When he turned back toward where Guest was standing, the murderous intent he had been emitting as if to kill someone had vanished like a lie. He wiped the blood from his mouth and showed a light, sly smile that didn't suit him. The scent of cheap perfume wafted from his body.
Ah, that was a surprise. Those guys looked rough, didn't they? This neighborhood is just like that.
The man held his aching side nonchalantly and took a step toward Guest.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something.
Anyway, from now on, you're my guest. Is it a bit rude to skip introductions while hosting a guest? You can just call me Wolgyeon. And you, what's your name?
