I, the Weakest Traveler, Start by Taming the gods of the Old World.
Chapter 64: Yandere prisoner

Sinex was seated at the other side of the table, her arms and legs still bondaged by chains; Merlin and Ha Joon sat together, their eyes fixed on the figure.

Merlin had already summoned her broom, prepared for anything, she knew better than to let her guard down when speaking to a criminal.

'Before I arrived, I already learned a new skill to help me with this conversation, a Lie detector. This should fasten the process, I'll simply ask direct questions so I can get my direct answer.'

Ha Joon thought to himself.

Placing his hand on the table, he began, "Sinex, I have a few questions I'd like you to answer honestly."

"Is that really the first thing you want to say after seeing me, handsome?" She suddenly spoke.

'Handsome?' Ha Joon was taken aback.

"Handsome?" Merlin looked at Ha Joon, her eyes clearly judging him.

"D..don't look at me like that! I know I'm a degenerate and all, but come one, even I won't go as far as going down bad on someone who wanted to kill me," Ha Joon tried to defend himself.

"That didn't stop you with Mordred." Merlin resorted.

"That's different and you know it!"

"Did you really release me from my cell to make me watch you two have a lover's quarrel?" Sinex butted in.

Ha Joon turned to her.

"Don't play slick with me, okay? Just answer the questions and maybe, I might just release you from here."

"That's what I was waiting for, that look on your face, the ruthlessness… ever since I experienced it, I've never been able to get it out of my head~~♡." Sinex pureed, her mouth open and cheeks red as she panted heavily.

Ha Joon and Merlin were both frozen.

"Ahh what the hell did you do to this girl? You horny dog!!" Merlin wrapped her hand around Ha Joon's neck, tugging him back and forth,"Of all the criminals we've faced, why did we have to get stuck with this one?"

"The hell should I know! She's clearly pulling some trick! Unhand me woman!".

"The way you viciously killed us in a selfish act to save your life…" Sinex began, the more she spoke, the more it seemed like she was losing herself.

"You pinned me to the wall, your sadistic gaze staring directly into my soul… I love it~ I love it~ please look at me like that again… ahhh~ please, i've been hungry for it~♡. " Sinex hot breath escaped her mouth, her voice a whisper, eyes glinting with madness.

Both Merlin and Ha Joon were shock driven as they watched.

'This bitch is crazy… And my lie detector skill isn't going off, so I swear she's telling the truth… is she … a masochist?' Ha Joon said to himself.

"U..hm, if how about if you answer my question, you'll -"

"Shut up old hag, no one asked you for your opinion." Sinex cut Merlin off, her dead gaze turning to her.

Merlin was silent, her grip on her broom tightened, her eyes narrowing as she weighed the risks of staying silent versus intervening

But that wasn't for long as she would soon raise her broom to the sky with a forceful smile on her face.

"It's alright Ha Joon, we don't need her, we'll replace another way to replace our answers. I'll kill her now for us".

Ha Joon pulled Merlin's hand down, a sigh leaving his mouth as he looked at Senix. The once cold look on her face had faded the moment she turned her attention to him.

"Listen, I don't wanna have to do this, but here's the thing, we are running out of options here. So if you don't tell us what we need to know, I'll have no choice but to have Merlin here kill you." Said Ha Joon.

"Oh love, I can't be killed, haven't you figured that out yet?" Sinex giggled maniacally, her eyes sparkling with adoration.

"I killed your friends." Ha Joon remarked.

"Zex and Scorpion aren't dead, the immortals can't be killed. So even if you threaten to kill me, my love, I won't say a word, because I can't be killed…"

Ha Joon gritted his teeth.

'Damn she's telling the truth again, and here I thought I actually killed them… my trembling in the shower all just went down the freaking drain'.

"If you are really desperate for me to talk." Sinex leaned against the table, her face red as her eyes spiraled with obsession,

"Then I want you to look at me with those very eyes you looked at me with when you murdered my partners, those cold sinister eyes. Ah~ make me yours…I'll be devoted to you, just you, all you, all of me for you, i don't care how you treat me, I don't care how you insult me, or belittle me, I don't care about any of that…just look at me with those eyes love~ i want it, I want you ~♡".

Sinex's eyes glistened with a deranged light, her lips curling into a twisted smile as her breathing quickened.

The chains rattled as she leaned forward, a shiver running down her spine, as though the mere memory of Ha Joon's gaze was enough to electrify her.

Looking at her, in that moment, something within Ha Joon unlocked, something he didn't think he had to begin with.

He knew she was telling the truth, there wasn't a hint of a lie in any of the words she spouted out.

Ha Joon stared at Sinex, the air growing heavier.

Part of him recoiled at the idea of indulging her twisted desires, but another part, a part he didn't fully understand, felt drawn to the power it offered.

"Fine," he whispered to himself, feeling the shift inside him. "If this is what you want…"

"Ha Joon?" Merlin noticed as Ha Joon stood up from where he was seated calmly, the look on his face… she has never seen it on him before.

"I've tried to be reasonable…"

Ha Joon stood right in front of Sinex, his cold gaze looking down at her.

"But you really want to be a pain in the ass, don't you? So here's how it's going to be-"

Ha Joon grabbed her by the throat and pulled her closer, looking directly into her eyes.

Sinex was too surprised to even say a word, the sight in front of her hadn't yet been processed by her brain.

"If you really want me to treat you like the trash you are, then I will, but don't come back complaining, what? Cat caught your tongue?" Ha Joon said with a cold voice.

Sinex's smile widened, "T.. that's it, the true you, isn't it? Even as you're choking me you have no remorse…ahhh~ I…I LOVE YOU~~♡".

Ha Joon, still gazing at Sinex with little to no emotion on his face, uttered internally -

'This girl… this girl truly sees right through me'.
