"You're right, I'm different from those terrorists. I won't harm others without reason. What I'm doing now is only to save my compatriots who are also in a dire situation. But even so, I have prepared myself for death."

"So, only those who are prepared to die have the right to shoot?"

Ryuto narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

The man replied firmly, without wavering.

"Yes, since I've embarked on this path of no return, I never expected a good outcome for myself, even if it means going to hell. And I absolutely won't feel any regret."

"Moreover, you're not doing this for the so-called justice, right?"

"Of course, I'm well aware that since I've done such things, I no longer have the qualification to talk about justice. I apologize to those who were involved because of me, including you. And although I'm sorry to you all, I won't stop my actions. It's not because there are fewer of you and more of my compatriots, nor is it because I want to distance myself from you. After all, the value of a person's life cannot be measured by quantity or relationship. My actions have long deviated from justice, so going to hell is only natural."

Upon hearing this, Ryuto could only shrug helplessly.

"Is that so? If that's the case, then hurry up and take action."

"What?"

The sudden remark surprised the man, leaving him stunned.

Ryuto urged him on.

"Don't we have limited time left? If you're going to do it, do it quickly."

Wait, isn't that something a hostage should say?

"But I haven't finished explaining..."

"No, you've already made your point clear enough. Continuing would just be a waste of time."

"But..."

Now it was the man's turn to hesitate.

"Aren't you going to stop me? Even though you said that earlier, are you still not going to prevent me from going ahead with my plan?"

"Well, there's not much I can do even if I want to. After all, I have no combat ability. It's a case of having the intention but not the capability."

"..."

"What's wrong? Why are you still standing there? Even if the door is closed now, if we take too long, we'll still be discovered. So we still need to follow the proper procedures."

Although the man hesitated, he eventually complied.

After confirming that Ryuto had nothing else on him, the man wasted no time in using a rope to tie Ryuto up. Finally, he even covered his mouth.

Damn it! Although I requested it, there's no need to be so thorough. It's too professional. Even if it's to prevent me from calling for help, it doesn't have to be this way.

After everything was done, the man left nonchalantly.

...

I guess that guy probably hung a sign on the door of this compartment, saying "Under maintenance, not in use."

Hmm... I'm starting to regret it. Why did I willingly let that guy tie me up? Did I lose my mind?

Hey, come back quickly.

I wanted to shout, but my mouth was gagged, and I couldn't make a sound.

Ugh... Uh-oh, what should I do now?

Ryuto screamed desperately in his heart.

As he screamed, Ryuto couldn't help but narrow his gaze and calmly pondered in his mind.

Even if he did that, it probably wouldn't save anyone.
