Neurolink System in the Modern World

Chapter 182: Mess up

"Hey, you think the owner of that truck is having a bad day?" The girl with the blue hair, who had more ear piercings than anyone could keep track of, giggled. She was decked out in some pretty audacious attire, looking every bit like a gal.

She was recalling the prank they had pulled on the truck they saw while heading to this camp. They had been quite high at the time and thought it would be funny to mess with the truck.

"Oh, he must be losing his mind by now! You even scratched the paint job, Min Ji," a guy with spiky green hair snickered. He placed his hand on her shoulder.

Instead of reprimanding him for touching her, she leaned in even closer, revealing that they had a special bond. The man with spiky hair was her boyfriend, Jin Kan.

Another member of the group, a tall guy with a leather jacket, chimed in, "If only we could've been there when he saw it. That would be really satisfying"

Then , a petite girl with dyed pink tips laughed, "I just love imagining him trying to drive it away with flat tires!"

"Maybe he'll just levitate it out of there, you know, like those superhero movies." Jin Kan added.

"Yeah, and I can grow wings and fly." Min ji giggled .

"We should do this more often. It's more fun than that arcade downtown. Messing with people's life is way better" The leather jacket guy added.

"You're right , Dong Hyun !Next time, let's go bigger. Maybe a bus!" Jin Kan laugh out loud.

They were deep into their drinks, their laughter reverberating through the serene woods like a chorus of rowdy geese.

To add to the mix, a few of them were indulging in something other than just alcohol – they were snorting what appeared to be an illegal substance. It was evident from their bloodshot eyes that it was something really strong.

This group of four had come here to have a good time and indulge in some drugs. But even without those substances, they would likely have vandalized that truck anyway.

They were a bunch of rich and privilege's delinquents who enjoyed causing problems. It seemed like they weren't content with living a normal life and always sought out ways to create trouble.

Little did they know that they'd just poked the hornet's nest, and the consequences were about to sting harder than they could imagine.

"Hey, I'm going to pee ," Jin Kan announced as he rose from his seat. He'd been downing quite a few beers.

"Don't go too far, the owner of that truck might track us down and suddenly stab you in the back!" Dong Hyun laughed out loud.

"Bro? I'll beat the shit out of him if he comes here,"Jin Kan replied confidently, their bravado fueled by liquid courage, drugs and youthful ignorance.

"That's my boyfriend!" Min Ji cheered, proudly supporting her mischievous partner.

Jin Kan joined in their laughter for a moment before excusing himself. He turned away from the group, looking for a suitable spot to relieve himself. The forest's cover of darkness provided him with a degree of privacy.

Back in the camp.

As the woods filled with the sounds of cawing crows, a sense of unease crept over Min Ji. The eerie noises echoing through the dense forest sent shivers down her spine, making her skin prickle with anxiety.

"What's happening?" she asked nervously, fear evident in her voice. Hearing those unsettling sounds in the wilderness made her skin crawl. Despite her tough facade, she couldn't help but be afraid of things like ghosts and the unknown.

It didn't help that she was also high, which made her more paranoid than usual. It's funny how just a few moments ago, she was talking like a total bitch, but the moment she heard the crows, she transformed into a regular, scared young woman.

The pink haired girl tried to offer some reassurance. "Hey, don't tell me you're afraid? It's the woods, so it's normal for there to be a lot of birds out here," she said, attempting to calm the group's growing apprehension.

"Thank you , Ji Eun" Min Ji replied.

But ,the eerie cawing of crows continued to grow louder, making it seem as though the ominous sounds were coming from all directions.

The relentless sounds filled the air and seemed to surround the group, sending shivers down the girls spines. It was unsettling and disorienting, causing their anxiety to escalate.

The once carefree and fun atmosphere was now overshadowed by an eerie sense of foreboding.

But despite the tense atmosphere , Dong Hyun couldn't help but crack jokes.

He was determined to keep up his facade of being cool and brave, even if he was secretly trembling with fear. After all, it was only natural for males to act tough, even when they were equally terrified.

"I heard that crows are messengers of death," he began speaking, his words tinged with an air of mystery.

As the story unfolded, the girls initially tried to call him out for scaring them too much.

"Come on, you're just messing with us, right?" Min Ji said with a hint of skepticism.

"Yeah, there's no way crows can predict death or anything like that," Ji Eun added, attempting to refute the scary tale.

But as the eerie crow calls continued, their doubts began to fade, and the forest grew darker and more unsettling with every passing moment.

"Hey, my honey is taking too long to come back," Min Ji said with a worried tone in her voice.

"Maybe he got stabbed by the owner of that truck? Scary, maybe we just messed up the truck of a total psycho. Think about it? He just left his truck in the open? Only psychos do that!" Dong Hyun joked around while drinking his beer.

"Stop joking around! I had it with your jokes!" Min Ji shouted, irritated by his insensitive joke.

"Should we go check on him?" Ji Eun suggested .
