I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 65

School transfer procedures (2)

My role at the management office is basically to assist with strategy.

Write a strategy guide, check that there are no problems with the support items, and provide basic training to new hunters… .

There is no need to enter the dungeon. That doesn’t mean I’ve never been into a dungeon. I went there when I got my license, and even after I got it, the man dragged me to the dungeon, saying I needed to learn practical skills. Moreover, even after entering the management office, I entered the dungeon several more times under the excuse that there was a shortage of workers.

There was also a time when I carried out a strategy under Yoo Ji-eun. Yoo Ji-eun even asked him to join her team.

It’s all memories.

Anyway, as you conquer dungeons, there are bound to be a few things you become familiar with. Like the taste of the potion that sticks in your mouth, or the weight of magical energy that weighs down your body every time you pass through the gate.

Additionally, there are a few things you learn.

What does it sound like when a monster chews on a human bone? The human body and the hunter’s body are stronger than they look, so even if all the bones in the body are broken, they will not die easily.

Or what human blood smells like.

I checked the floor. As expected, there are no Salamander body fluids.

It hasn’t been long since the dungeon exploded.

While getting here, the number of Salamanders increased. Since Kim Chae-min blocked it, she won’t be driven in this direction, but you never know.

… You can think about that later.

I looked at the nursery again.

The reason Salamander is around here now is because he is chasing us. Looking at the speed at which it was growing, this place would have been taken over quickly.

hmm. Anyway, this area should be safe from Salamanders. The enemy should also be safe at this point. There was enough time to evacuate. Even if you can’t evacuate, you’ll be fine as long as you stay upstairs.

But why does it smell like blood?

“Mr. Kim. “I’m here with student Tae-woo.”

“… yes.”

Kim Chae-min did not comment on my words. Kim Chae-min also noticed.

Even if Salamanders attacked the orphanage, the smell of blood is strange. Salamanders do not eat humans. If you are hit by a salamander’s poison, your flesh will melt, not bleed.

I passed the main gate of the orphanage.

It seems quiet on the outside. There is no pretense of popularity.

If it weren’t for the pungent smell of blood, everyone would have thought they had evacuated safely.

I walked slowly, following the smell of blood.

I entered the orphanage building.

No one is here.

I passed through the first floor and went up to the second floor. Still no one. went up further. From the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor. On the 3rd floor.

“… … .”

The first body was found on the third floor stairs.

This is a man with his eyes wide open. His throat was torn at once. However, with a wound of that magnitude, death is not instantaneous. He died from excessive blood loss.

Was there someone else who came out other than Salamander?

The blood trail continues. There is blood along the stairs and hallways. The corpses of teachers and volunteers who would have been working at the orphanage are lying everywhere.

Each and every one of them has a part of their body torn off. I thought it was the work of an unknown monster, but there was a strange part about it.

The body shows no signs of escape. There was no resistance. like… .

“hmm.”

I checked each room one by one. It looks like no one is alive, but you never know. The children’s bodies have not yet been found.

… Of course, it was a futile hope. I finally found it.

The children were gathered in one small room. Avoiding Salamander? Or to avoid the unknown thing that is killing the teachers?

I grinded my teeth and came back to see more. This is proof. If I accidentally touch it and it gets contaminated, I can’t catch the culprit. Whether it’s a monster or something.

I came out of the orphanage, looking back at the body I found. Kim Chae-min’s face turned pale, as if she sensed what was going on inside my stiff face.

I got into the car without saying anything.

“let’s go.”

“… “What about me and my younger siblings?”

“later. “I’ll tell you later.”

“Can you tell me now?”

Number 3 may have also had an intuition of something. Otherwise, there would be no way I would have asked so desperately.

“please. Tell me please. What about your younger siblings? What about the teacher? why? “It’s okay, right?!”

Is this acting? That thing that’s making a sound like you’re struggling to breathe?

Although he was someone I couldn’t help but criticize at the research institute, there were many kids who followed him well. Number 3 also took good care of those kids. She comforted the children who were crying because they missed their mother, and put the children who were tossing and turning in their sleep after having nightmares to sleep. Because he was helping the younger children eat, he often ended up eating last.

He wasn’t a bad kid. I heard she was a model student. In many ways. Because he was that kind of kid, he may have been really affectionate toward the younger siblings he met at orphanage.

“He’s my little brother!!”

“… … .”

But as I hear the desperate cries…

I had that thought for a moment.

Now that the orphanage has become like this, the connection between No. 3 and the Ark will be somewhat loose. In a case like this, if you take him in for protection and put him in a demonstration camp… . In order to monitor No. 3, wouldn’t it be easy to check for Ark coming in contact with it?

I thought of the dead teachers and children in the orphanage. Among them, there will be innocent people who have nothing to do with the Ark.

… No matter how much I am, I feel like trash.

‘Heejae, do you understand?’

My uncle didn’t raise me like this.

‘You know what you saw in there. but… Heejae. Didn’t you say you didn’t like the director there?’

‘… yes. no, I do not want.’

‘What you did was the same thing that the warden you hated did. Do you want to be just like that director?’

‘no! … no. I don’t want to be the same.’

‘You are a much better person than that trash. ‘You can become a much cooler person.’

‘… … .’

‘I’m going to become a better person than that guy and laugh at him like he’s showing off.’

What would you have done if you were me?

‘Mister believes in Heejae.’

He must have truly felt sorry for No. 3 and tried hard to help him. He may have promised to uncover the truth.

I am different from you. I couldn’t appease No. 3 like he did, and honestly, I didn’t have the heart to do so.

still.

My uncle taught me that it had to be that way.

therefore… therefore.

“Mr. Wu?”

I hit my head on the window. I’m glad I only blew out the windshield.

It was only after feeling that coldness that I regained my composure.

good.

Let’s not forget what the uncle said.

‘Mister believes in Heejae.’

I have always repaid that trust. Are you going to give up now?

“I searched everything.”

As soon as Lee Mi-seon sat down on the sofa, she took a gulp of cold water.

Mi-seon Lee emptied a can of expensive bottled water in one go and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. While Lee Mi-seon was drinking water, Da-seon’s hunter came in and connected the TV to the laptop.

“All done, Master.”

“Yes, yes. “Please stay for a moment while the adults talk.”

The man, who would have been a college student if it weren’t for Hunter, smiled shyly and left the hospital room.

… Wasn’t he the kid who made coffee at the demonstration high school? I remember he also made non-alcoholic cocktails.

Well, if you’re satisfied, it’s okay. If it’s Da-seon, you won’t be short of money.

Lee Mi-seon opened her mouth while fiddling with her laptop.

“From CCTV on the street to car black boxes. “There wasn’t much to glean from the CCTV inside the orphanage.”

The VIP hospital room TV, which was unnecessarily large, started blinking and showed poor quality CCTV footage.

“It’s him.”

I glared at the screen.

Despite the hot weather, they are wearing thick clothes that cover their entire bodies. Black hoodie and cargo pants with pockets. Slender body. However, because of the loose clothing that did not reveal the curves of her body at all, it was impossible to tell whether she was a woman or a man.

Even his face cannot be seen because he is wearing a cap and the hood of his jacket is pulled down over it.

“Height… “About 165cm.”

“What about the face? “Did anything come out?”

Hong Seok-young asked in a sharp voice.

“Nothing was recorded. “This is also an enlarged version of something taken from afar.”

The video plays.

Red hair falls gently from under the hat. It is a light step that barely feels any weight. The corners of the mouth that can be seen at first glance are turned upward. I’m smiling.

Kim Chae-min tilted his head.

“female… ? Is it a man? He did it anyway? “With what?”

“that is… .”

Lee Mi-seon pressed the keyboard. widely. The screen changes.

The light steps are still the same. The hand that was in the pocket comes out and moves.

I’m sorry.

There is no audio in the CCTV footage. But I hear a sound.

A line is drawn on the car following your finger. As if torn by sharp claws. Like the throats of the dead people in the orphanage were slit.

The unknown person stopped for a moment and looked at the car, as if appreciating his work.

I tilt my head. Then she playfully spreads her hands again. The two hands moved like a conductor leading an orchestra for a while.

Then it suddenly stopped.

The guy put his hands together.

Slowly, the car crumples.

It gets crumpled and crumpled and then becomes small… It became a ball.

“After this, let’s go to the daycare center.”

The video shown by Lee Mi-seon suddenly cuts out. However, she could clearly see her entering the orphanage.

And what it looks like coming out.

My hands are red. The bastard shook his hand to shake off the blood, but quickly gave up. After wiping his hands on his black clothes, he raised his head. His smiling mouth was clearly visible this time.

He made the shape of a gun with his hand, which still had red stains, and pointed it in this direction, no, at the CCTV.

The screen went dark.

Mi-seon Lee swallowed her saliva.

“This is the end.”

“… Why did they kill him? A serial killer who took advantage of the dungeon break?”

“With that level of skill, it would be possible to avoid being photographed. Didn’t you show it on purpose? There must be some purpose.”

“Maybe you knew that the orphanage was related to the Ark?”

“Your smile is the ultimate pleasure killer.”

I recalled my memories. There’s no way I wouldn’t remember such a distinctive guy.

But what I don’t remember is scarier. Twenty years later, someone like that was still operating in secret? Where on earth? Surely, in Korea?

“that. “I think I know what it is.”

Finally, Hong Seok-young, who had been watching the car crushing over and over again, suddenly opened his mouth.

“You know?”

“This is the guy I was chasing in South America.”

“Hunter Hong was chasing you?”

“Why, black market?”

“ah. “That thing?”

Lee Mi-seon pretended to know. Looking closely, Kim Chae-min also knows this.

Maybe that… Is this a story about the remains of an acquaintance who died in a dungeon? You said you went all the way to the black market in South America in search of missing remains.

“You saw that guy?”

“no. I didn’t see it. “I chased it, but ended up losing it.”

“Then how can you be sure?”

“I heard a rumor. “If there’s something he doesn’t like, there’s this crazy guy who turns it into a little ball and uses it as a trophy.”

Hong Seok-young frowned.

“But it’s strange.”

“why?”

“Why would I chase him?”

Hong Seok-young played the video again from the beginning. A brisk walking motion. A playful hand gesture.

“I heard he was the boss of the Ark.”
