Call Of Death : The Secrets [COMPLETED]

Chapter 72 : The Story 2

After hearing what Ju Jin Su had said, Officer Devius Chad was left dumbfounded. He felt like he just found out one of the biggest mistake he had done his entire life. He didn't expect that a simple act he did out of concern and kindness could lead the child's life into danger. He didn't expect that his act could lead into something he least expected. He felt so guilty that he didn't notice how strange the kid's mom was.

"Let me tell you something, officer." Ju Jin Su started talking again. Officer Chad stayed silent and just listened. "Red wasn't born bad. He wasn't born a criminal. Someone made him what he is today but I can assure, he isn't as bad as you think. He will never hurt anyone who isn't part of the plan." He added.

"But taking other people's life is a serious a crime. It's in the law."

Ju Jin Su smiled under the mask. "We ended the life of those people who doesn't deserve to live. We killed those people who are only living to suffer in misery. We wanted to end the suffering and misery of those people, that's why we killed them." He stated in a long litany.

"Those reason aren't acceptable enough to take one's life, Mr. Ju. If Red really wanted to end those people's suffering, he could do something much better than just simply killing them." The officer argued.

"What? Taking those people who mistreated them to jail? Officer, law doesn't work like you expect it to."

"Then, can't he do anything rather than killing?"

"Officer, do you really think there are many things a person could do to save someone from any kind of misery? Is there any other lawful way so avenge the people who experienced in justice?" Ju Jin Su asked, the officer fell silent for a while.

He also doesn't know if there will always be a way to save someone from their miseries and injustice. Officer Chad doesn't know if he could really save someone from suffering if he was in the situation.

"But taking lives isn't justifiable, there's always a way..." Devius mumbled.

Ju Jin Su shook his head. "There's always someone the law favors, officer. The proof is that your detective could enjoy his life without feeling regretful while my friend is left to suffer under the shade of someone's name."

Devius doesn't understand what Ju Jin Su was talking about. He wanted to understand but no matter how much he tries, the words only enter his other ear and left on the other. He couldn't understand them at all.

On the other hand, while the two men were talking, someone was watching them. Unbeknownst to them, Red was standing still in the doorway and listening to them as they talk while both hands were clasped inside his hoodies' pocket.

"Officer, even the superheroes would take lives in order to save the world. You, the authorities will take lives if they have to. You can't always save someone and choose peace at the same time. You'll always have to make a choice because peace and war cannot coexist in this world. It's either you take someone's life to save one or let them live and make their victims suffer till they die." Ju Jin Su's words made sense but for Devius who is a police officer, he still believed that taking other's lives isn't acceptable.

He slowly shook his head, clenching his fist. "Red doesn't have the right to do that, those people, no matter how bad they were, they still deserved to live." Devius annoyingly exclaimed. "The moment he chose to had blood in his hands, that made him already a criminal. That made his actions unjustifiable. Everyone deserves to live, Mr. Ju." Officer Chad explained.

"Do they?" Devius and Ju Jin Su both looked at Red's direction when he spoke. "Do they really deserve to live, Officer?" He asked.

"Hyeol..."
