The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 141

Episode 141 Ulleungdo (1)

* * *

Everyone liked the dish Emilia had prepared with so much care.

Everyone ate deliciously, except for Takashi’s clone who couldn’t eat for practical reasons.

In particular, Elizabeth asked Emilia several times to refill her plate with food.

Contrary to other members’ expectations that they might fight each other, the two had a friendly conversation.

But a smiling face may not always contain a good heart.

Vincent, who was quick-witted, noticed that Emilia and Elizabeth were engaging in a strange war of nerves.

A unique competitive spirit that makes you want to be at least more attractive and beautiful than the other person.

In order to hide that feeling, the two of them were acting friendly and kind.

Yu Qinghua, another female hunter, had no interest in this war of nerves.

She seemed to be wondering who possessed the hidden skill, just like Vincent.

Yoo Cheong-hwa said to Vincent.

“Vincent.”

“uh.”

“Is there an assassin on the loose?”

“I don’t know much about Korea. Do you know anything about it?”

Yoo Cheong-hwa shrugged her shoulders at Vincent’s question.

For a brief moment, someone else’s face came to mind.

The man whose name I recently learned was Kang-hoo.

Until Kang Dong-hyun uploaded all the information about Kang-hoo on the official Eclipse website.

Yoo Cheong-hwa did not know Kang-hoo’s alias or real name.

I just remembered him as a skilled assassin who had completely blocked my psychic skills.

And only when I saw the names on the death list a while ago, all my doubts were answered.

I thought he was a pretty skilled assassin, and my guess was not wrong.

If it was enough to stimulate Kang Dong-hyun’s sore spot, it was obvious how much it would make Kang-hoo angry.

but.

No matter how high the potential of an assassin was, it was impossible for him to have hidden skills at Kang-hoo’s level.

As Vincent said, hidden skills are skills that only ‘lucky idiots’ can obtain.

Kang-hoo thought that he was not qualified to become the owner of one of the 77 hidden skills in this world.

“I don’t know.”

Yoo Cheong-hwa shook her head.

No matter how much I think about it, it’s not Kang-hoo.

There must have been other skilled assassins in the raid group. It’s not like there aren’t any named assassins.

Vincent let out a loud noise in frustration.

“When on earth are Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong going to show up? We need their cooperation to find them or not.”

Vincent was already in a state of shock.

Is it because I’ve had a cold spell for quite some time since the last murder?

I desperately wanted to splash hot blood on my face.

Like a pressure cooker with steam rising from it, his desire to kill was constantly stirring.

one side.

Just before boarding the plane, Kang-hoo received a phone call from Master K and changed his destination.

When the plane reaches its normal altitude after takeoff, stability begins to return.

Kang-hoo was listening to the recorded conversation with Master K.

Because the conversation was so hectic and hurried before takeoff, there were parts that I missed.

– I found out where you can ‘indirectly’ get the micro amulet with the release option.

– Where is it? Is it a dungeon?

– I’ve been looking all over the world for a place to buy it, but there’s currently no stock available.

– Is there another way?

– That’s right. There is a way to make it by combining materials. It’s a way to synthesize the emission core into a colorless talisman.

– What should I get?

– First of all, don’t worry, you can get the core of the emission through my wife. The problem is the colorless talisman.

– Yes, please tell me.

– I think you should go to Ulleungdo. Kim Shin-ryung is there. You can buy it from him.

– Are you Kim Shin-ryeong?

– Yes. Kim Shin-ryung. He is a skilled person who is also called the All-Powerful Hand. Do you know him?

– I don’t know the details.

The omnipotent hand, Kim Shin-ryung.

She is a middle-aged woman in her late 50s, but she has the ability to manipulate and remodel her appearance to look like she is in her 20s.

The reason she looks so young is, surprisingly, because she wears a mask that looks exactly like a human face.

Making such masks was also one of her skills.

It was really amazing. Of course, there were quite a few wrinkles in the areas that couldn’t be disguised by the mask.

At what point does Kim Shin-ryung’s name appear in the original work?

It was when Gong Tae-soo, the butcher of Ulsan who lost his arm to Kang-hoo, was implanting a magic stone in his left arm.

At that time, it was only mentioned briefly by name, but now it has become a very important name to Kang-hoo.

– Anyway, it looks like that guy is resting at his villa in Ulleungdo. Go check it out.

– Okay. Just tell me the location and I’ll go there myself.

– No. I’ll send Hyung-seo to Ulleungdo, so have him guide you. He’ll also take my letter of recommendation with him.

– Oh, you mean that little friend?

– Okay. I’ll make sure to tell them not to be rude, so don’t worry too much.

– Okay. Then I’ll head straight towards Ulleungdo. Thank you for your attention.

– What are you worried about? You’ll get paid for it all later, so prepare a lot of money.

– Of course.

– Ah. And… … You know? Kim Shin-ryung’s villa is a giant trap.

– I know that.

– Yeah. Don’t overdo it. It’s good to take the test, but that doesn’t mean you should open the coffin lid and go in.

As K said at the end, Kim Shin-ryung did not easily meet people who wanted to meet her.

Normally, to meet her, you would have to go to a villa that she uses as a hideout.

It was characteristic that the path from the main gate to the villa was covered with all kinds of mazes and traps.

Even if you gave her a hundred billion, no, a trillion won, a free pass was impossible. You had to pass her ‘test’.

For that reason, there were more than a few hunters who died screaming while trying to meet Kim Shin-ryung.

Because they did not even collect the bodies, it was not uncommon for colleagues who came to collect the bodies to die.

‘A colorless talisman… … .’

It’s the first time I’ve heard that name.

What is the meaning behind the name colorless talisman?

Perhaps the answer can only be found by meeting Kim Shin-ryung. It is time to get really nervous.

Kang-hoo closed his eyes and began to recall all the memories and details about Kim Shin-ryung that were portrayed in the original work.

You must not miss even the smallest details, because you need to properly understand her personality and characteristics.

We arrived at Ulleungdo just as the sun was starting to set.

Maybe it was because I had been on a boat for three hours from Gangneung, but as soon as I got off, my feet felt awkward on the ground.

People who suffer from severe motion sickness often vomit after getting off the plane, but Kang-hoo was insensitive to that.

‘It’s exactly like what I saw in real life.’

Kang-hoo felt a sense of warmth as if he had come home, looking at the familiar scenery.

When I was writing the original, the place I visited when I occasionally wanted to live in a foreign country was Ulleungdo.

I used to stay at well-equipped guesthouses located throughout Ulleungdo.

Some stayed there for more than a month at the shortest, and some stayed there for more than a year at the longest.

Perhaps because the things I saw and felt at the time were faithfully incorporated into the descriptions in the original work, the world was also realized in the same way.

But right then.

“… … ?”

Kang-hoo tilted his head when he saw the back of someone who looked familiar.

A man walking somewhere while carrying a laptop bag and a large 1L Americano.

‘Isn’t that what I look like?’

It was clearly the same clothes, attire, and behavior he had worn while staying on Ulleungdo.

I quickly followed after him.

What could it be? Is it someone who resembles me? Or am I seeing things? Or is it just a coincidence?

I tried to follow the man who had just turned onto the side road, but he had already disappeared.

It disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been there in the first place.

“hmm.”

Kang-hoo stopped because he couldn’t find a specific place to chase after in a completely invisible yard.

It was a strange experience.

Maybe it was a moment of reminiscence, like a memory of my life before I became a thief, and then it overlapped.

I guess that’s what I should think.

After a while.

As Moon Hyung-seo arrived at Ulleungdo, an awkward reunion took place in front of the port.

As soon as Moon Hyung-seo saw Kang-hu, he bowed at a 90-degree angle and greeted him politely.

It was a very polite appearance, as if he had just been given a sharp warning by Master K.

Perhaps it was because, unlike before, she let her bangs down and wore casual clothes.

Moon Hyung-seo looked much more gentle than usual, with considerably less venom. He really felt like a college student.

“I’ll show you right away. Sorry for the delay.”

“The departure time is different for each ship, so I’m sorry for being late.”

“I should have taken the earlier ship and come here earlier to check out the area. Please forgive me.”

“Okay. I’ll just give you directions.”

Kang-hoo asked Moon-hyung-seo to go ahead with an awkward smile and a hand gesture.

Since it was a place where I was going to meet Kim Shin-ryung, whom I was meeting for the first time, I didn’t move around excitedly.

While moving.

Moon Hyung-seo continued to look around cautiously.

While it is always important not to let your guard down, there was a corner that went beyond that category.

“What’s the issue?”

“Um… … . It is information obtained unofficially.”

“uh.”

“It seems that ten hunters who lived on Ulleungdo Island have disappeared without a trace over the past ten days. There has been no sign of life since then.”

Kang-hu frowned slightly at Moon-hyung-seo’s words.

Ulleungdo Island had no police station or key management force, so it was essentially a place where everyone lived for themselves.

So it was also a place with many variables.

Of course, since there were many civilian residents, there was an atmosphere of tacit refraining from bloody conflicts among the hunters.

Because if you get caught up in a fight between hunters and civilians die, the Hunter Police Department will step in directly.

Since the police’s intervention meant the appearance of the Purification Guild, everyone knew how to behave properly.

But there is the issue of missing persons.

If hunters have been disappearing in a concentrated manner in recent times, it would be difficult to see it as impulsive.

“There are quite a few open dungeons on Ulleungdo, so hunters will probably come and go frequently.”

“So everyone is being careful, but it seems like missing people are still happening.”

Chomp!

Moon Hyung-seo took out the spear that he had made small and breathed magic into it, expanding it to its original size.

It seems that it can be shortened and extended like the long spear that Kang-hoo has as an emergency weapon.

Of course, compared to the 4th-grade spear of strong attack, it had a much higher level appearance.

At the very least, it seemed like a 2nd-grade spear. It was a suitable grade for someone at Moon Hyung-seo’s level.

at that time.

“for a moment.”

Kang-hoo stopped in his tracks, feeling a strange sensation behind his back, and at the same time grabbed Moon-hyung-seo and stopped him.

This was because a heavy, cold air suddenly rushed in from behind.

It was a sudden, yet at the same time oppressive feeling that made my whole body stiffen.

At that moment, a guy came to mind. Kang-hoo shouted at Moon-hyung-seo.

“damage!”
