Suddenly his body was thrown back on a ground filled with sharp thorns. Trees similar to cactus trees reach so high, even 100 times the size on earth.

So many humans without clothes are stuck to the big thorns in the cactus tree. So much blood is flowing—no one can escape that painful punishment.

Sweat was shed as both eyes watched many humans die and come back to life with so much blood—it was painful just to hear his voice.

"What the hell?! What is this place …!! Is this hell?"

His body was again drawn up on a cactus tree. Both of his legs were shaking, looking towards the direction that the humans were trapped, and so many tiny insects were eating their bodies.

He fell limp with all his fears.

Wonder if he's dead and in hell right now?

"Are you scared?"

Howl's figure appears—walking up to him.

"Who are you? You brought it to this place, didn't you?" he asked in a tone so resentful.

"How does it feel to live in a place like this? It suits you."

"Who are you?! Hurry and give me back!! I can't die!"

Howl laughs amusedly at the words of a man who still doesn't even remember what he has done to the creatures who have fallen victim to his greed.

"Do you remember how many animals you caught and made them your greed?" Howl asked.

"What's it to you? I'm just a father making a living!! Hurry and give me back!"

"Still won't confess."

Howl can only shake his head looking at a human figure who will never fear death.

"I won't make you die quickly. You have to pay for what you've done your whole life. To finance your family? Don't lie, you even treat that little boy like the animal you caught. Right?"

The man begins to shrink in fear of Howl's words knowing everything he does. How can a human figure be in a place like this without fear?

"Who are you? Witch? God? Jeoseungsaja?"

"I don't have to until I have to explain it to you. I'm just executing the above command," Howl said while pointing towards the red sky above his head.

"Now come with me!"

Howl's words seemed to form a black portal that sucked the man into it. The body immediately crashed into the hot desert. The man's body immediately blistered. It's only possible to scream in pain because there's nowhere to take cover.

"Ah! Ah! It hurts! This hurts so much! Help! Help!"

"It's too late."

From the perspective of the frightened man, he saw a swarm of creatures running towards him. Fear intensified as he saw a large number of cats, dogs, rabbits and some other animals—running towards him at high speed.

"Remember the faces of those you've done so badly. Remember the faces of those you killed and sold for food. Remember the faces of those you've made your greed for in the world. They're all waiting for this day. Reward everything you've done to them.

Suddenly thousands of these animals immediately hit the man's body. Clawed him—biting him—skinned him. The man kept asking for help, but it was too late. He's wasted that opportunity many times through his son and wife who he's treated badly. But greed has blinded him.

Howl was just staring at that shapeless man. In life there must be cause — effect. The world was created as a place where all living things could feel without exception a gift of life. Yet it seems that many humans have forgotten them.

Howl flicks his finger into the blink of an eye like an eye magic, all of which looks so terrible back at the time when the man fell while riding in the car.

His body was lying on wet ground, rain still seemed to fall heavily. The man with his hands still bent tried to wake his unconscious friend.

The sound of a police car is getting closer, there's no way for them to escape. Some of the cops went straight around their cars.

"Don't move! Hands up!"

The uniformed police ambushed the two perpetrators who had long been fugitives. There have been many cases the police have received and the police continue to search for their whereabouts. However, the two men, Robin and Yamada, who are from Japan and the Netherlands, have entered illegally and illegally sold the animals.

An eyewitness male witness has provided important information about their whereabouts. Until finally, after 6 months of livelihood, he was arrested.

"How did your hand get bent?" asked one of the detectives who became a team of illegal wildlife sales.

His face seemed confused when he saw the right hand of one of the suspects become abnormally crooked.

"Subong! Get over here!"

"Ready!"

The face of an only female detective seemed to cry when he saw the stray cats tied up in the sack. They're wheezing like they're asking for help. Anna tried to hug a white kitten. Strangely, the cat immediately returned to her arms.

"Anna, did you call the animal shelter center?!" asked Team Leader Bonggu, who surprised Anna a little.

"They're still on their way!" Anna replied.

"What took them so long! "Don't look at these cats getting cold!" said the team leader, who seemed worried about the fate of the cats still tied in the sack.

"Isn't there something to cover the top, so they won't rain!"

Like a miracle, it suddenly stopped raining slowly.

"Oh! It stopped raining?"

"Captain! It stopped raining!"

Captain Steven seemed to be silent with such emotional feelings as to feel a miracle in his heart. It seems nature is on the side of these poor cats right now.

"Captain! Wild animal rescue workers are here!!"

"Tell them to move these animals immediately! I want to talk to those bastards!" he exclaimed as he walked up to two suspects who appeared to be sitting in front of the police car with handcuffs on their hands.

His face became confused when he saw one of the suspects whose clothes were covered in wet mud. Behavior gets weird when it comes to consciousness.

"What's wrong with him! Did he possessed?" asked Captain Bong to one of the ambulance workers who had just finished giving first aid to the tattooed man who collapsed when he was arrested by the police.

"All the results of the examination are normal, he's just cold. But I don't know why he became that way yet." explained the ambulance worker.

The look on Yamada's face still shows an overwhelming fear. No one will ever know what he just experienced after meeting a figure named Howl.

"Hurry and take them! Anna came with me to make their interrogation …!" exclaimed Captain Steven Park .

Anna's face was shocked not to accept because she wanted to take these poor cats to safety.

"But Captain, what about this cat?" Anna asked, pointing to one of the cats she was holding.

"Leave it to the others. This is the case you received, you have to finish it! You fool!"

Anna can only breathe, because she is the one who gets anonymous information about poaching that has long been her responsibility.

Howl was annoyed with Jeoseungsaja's ego's attitude that kept him in the corner making the situation even more complicated.Seeing Howl's resentment made Jeoseungsaja only able to stand still while staring cynically at Howl, who was still on Anna's side."I want a shower? Where is my room?" asked Jeoseungsaja.Howl almost loses his temper against two creatures who can't grow up, don't want him mouth to emit harsh words, Howl only shows his hand towards Jeoseungsaja's room."Ah … There.

    "I know," said Jeoseungsaja, looking relaxed after what happened. He even seemed happy, enjoying a glass of chamomile tea and a piece of egg tart. Jeoseungsaja seemed indifferent to death. When humans think of death as terrible, yet not with the reaper. "Whoa … I can't really say I saw him. How at times he seems relaxed. Someone's dead, but he's sitting around enjoying a cup of tea? Seriously?!" murmured Anna, who could not understand the figure of an angel of death. "Let it go. You just can't understand and you don't have to try to understand it," Howl said, trying to calm Anna, who may soon attack Jeoseungsaja if she doesn't act. Anna could only breathe—holding her patience at the end of her head that gave off white smoke. Right now he's burdened with guilt about the death of someone she could have prevented. But death is inevitable until she unknowingly vents her anger on others. "Why are you so angry? Do you know the woman?" asked Jeoseungsaja while putting the cup back on the
