The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 292

Episode 292. Ocean (Creature) (2)

Why does it feel like the decoration color has changed to red?

“hmm?”

With a hard texture like a seashell.

A pink object with geometric shapes.

Looking at the item again, it looked like a cute design tool that often appears in children’s animations.

In common parlance, it means that the visual of a toy that children under the age of 10 in the house would beg to buy.

The bodyguard who was called Chief Kida looked at the items behind me for a long time.

“hmm.”

But it didn’t last more than a few seconds.

Because the Japanese dismissed the sensation they had just felt as a fleeting sense of deja vu.

‘Maybe I just remembered wrong?’

In addition to the central symbolic stone, the item was also inlaid with many jewels of various colors.

So Chief Kida was not sure of the original color of the item. He looked straight ahead.

“There’s nothing to do. Maybe I should really play a word game.”

The remarks that followed were nothing more than pointless chatter.

“Oh, a word game?”

“Do you want to do it together?”

“The real person will buy me a late-night snack after work. It’s more fun if you make a bet.”

“OK. Then you go first.”

Two people standing on the east side of this space begin to converse with each other.

But at this time.

The veteran who had been showing off his cell phone and talking actively to them regardless of the topic until just a moment ago is starting to notice them.

And when the guards in this room each focused their attention on different places.

The person pretended to touch his stomach and squeezed something inside his jacket.

-Sparkle.

This was the beginning of something.

The artifact at the back showed small changes again, starting from the action just now.

Also, if you think about it, the guards in this room had to undergo a mandatory baggage search before starting work.

It is inconsistent in many ways that the person in the front row was carrying a suspicious substance other than a communication device.

***

‘It’s a disaster.’

A few minutes later.

‘The really expensive items that are up for auction in Highlight are not revealed in advance for security reasons. So, do I have to wait a day to see the items on this list in person?’

Inside an event venue in Tokyo.

‘That’s annoying. When I asked how much it would sell for, it was definitely out of my budget.’

It’s already 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

Right now, I was surrounded by crowds of people from all over the world, and it was dizzying.

‘I can’t threaten them to give me one for free… … Today, I don’t even have an [Infinite Power Core], and honestly, it’s too much to show off against an S-class net.’

Noisy.

If you wait a little bit, you can hear loud laughter or cheers from somewhere, making this a festival for Earthlings.

Even in a noisy place, I managed to concentrate and continue thinking of something, but even the greatest wizard had limits to his imagination in a place like this.

Above all, my identity was exposed.

“excuse me…….”

“…….”

“hey!”

“Oh, yes?”

If you think about it, this face called ‘Kim Ki-ryeo’ had a fairly high status and was quite famous to the public.

“Excuse me, are you by any chance a S-ranker from Korea?”

“That’s true, though.”

“Oh my! Oh my! Oh. T-T Then, excuse me. Could you take just one picture with me? I’m such a huge fan! I’ve even been running a fan club since Ranker-nim came to Japan!”

It was from this point on that things started to go wrong.

Still, it was quiet for a while because it was a foreign country. But after a woman started to recognize me by making a loud noise, interest suddenly increased.

When one person recognizes, his friend standing next to him also chimes in.

If you take pictures on the side of the road, the confidence will spread like dominoes to the citizens who were hesitant.

“Why are there so many people there?”

“Who are you taking a picture with like that?”

“Are you an influencer?”

Groan, groan.

It won’t work.

I pretended to go to the bathroom and quickly ran to a quiet place before the crowd got too big.

[Event Hall A Exhibition Hall]

I looked around the whole place, and maybe because there were fewer lights and it was dark, there were far fewer pedestrians passing by than in Building B or Building C.

‘Of course, one reason is that the exhibits inside are boring.’

I was looking for a place where no one was looking, and I ended up in a corner like this.

It was a dark hallway in front of the staff room with no lighting at all.

“hmm.”

Okay, let’s take a moment to recap the plan.

‘How on earth do I steal an item?’

I sat down in my seat and thought.

first.

To obtain the black fabric named [Fragment of the Midnight], some preparations were required.

The most important thing is to drive out all the visitors from Hall 1 of Building A.

‘Even to me, the room looks like nothing more than a bunch of black seaweed-like fabric hanging upside down. The number of pedestrians was already small enough to count on one hand… … .’

If you don’t want to get caught stealing and end up with your flesh and bones separated, you should definitely know the locations of the Japanese S-classes before executing your plan.

‘If I were to estimate the number of visitors that would have to be kicked out, it would be roughly around five.’

Let’s say that they were very generous and managed to kick out the visitors.

But what about the alarm system in this artifact exhibition hall?

‘Hmm.’

Memories of the body’s owner flash through my brain for a moment.

A scene from a movie where a mammalian spy in a skin-tight suit walks through red lasers like a mollusk.

It seemed that Earth had its own unique boundary system, like this one used for museums and banks.

And upon closer inspection, a device that seemed to have that role was visible here as well.

‘All the exhibits’ cases are protected by magic shields.’

Do you think the Japanese magically covered things with blankets to keep them warm? Of course, this is for security purposes.

I racked my brain hard.

And as a result of this deliberation, I finally decided how I would show the appearance of a great thief.

[Summary: Use magic to light a small fire on a paper poster in the corner of Building A, Building 1 (near the window so it gets sunlight) ⇀ Sound the fire alarm in the hallway right in front ⇀ When the alarm sounds, instigate an evacuation while people are still unaware of the situation.]

The spectators are cleaned up like this.

[Overview: Additionally, figure out the locations of the S-class Hunters in advance. ⇀ Quickly disrupt the CCTV when Hall 1 is sufficiently empty and then re-enter. ⇀ Since the barriers in the exhibition hall take time to restore if dismantled, try to swap items by penetrating them. If the entrance to the glass structure does not open and close easily, use magic such as [Cutting]. (Assuming everything goes according to plan, the total estimated time is approximately 3 minutes.)]

To summarize briefly, I had a plan in mind that would roughly go something like this, but to be honest, I’m not sure if it will work out.

In the heyday, if you wanted something, you could just use magic to make it happen. In the first place, there was no reason to be interested in such trivial endeavors.

‘The Earth-style barrier is so flimsy that it would probably be easy if we could just deal with the glass wall.’

The event lasts a total of three days, so should I think about it for a few more days?

I had that thought for a moment, but quickly retracted it.

The Artifact Expo will hold a highlight auction on the second day, which will only allow on-site bidding, attracting a large number of overseas S-class hunters.

More and more visitors are expected to flock to see these S-class hunters.

Of course, the last day of the event wasn’t a very good time either.

‘I was planning to leave before nightfall, so Seonwooyeon will be looking for me.’

Even leaving this aside, since it is also the day the exhibition closes, even if you change the items, it could be discovered within 24 hours.

‘If you really want to do it, today is the day with the highest probability.’

Even the horns of a cow are pulled out in one go.

I don’t know if it’s appropriate to use such an earthly expression in a place like this.

But anyway, I made up my mind.

No matter how many times I think about it, I can’t give up that fabric.

‘Earthlings only know it as a one-time defensive item, but it’s an artifact that can have tremendous ‘attack’ and ‘defense’ powers at the same time!’

Who told you to threaten the Alpha Urine so foolishly?

If that representative named Ito has done something wrong, then the entire Japanese hunting industry should pay the price together as comrades.

I quickly got up from my crouching position.

For reference, this is an element that is naturally included in the outline of the plan.

In short, it was possible to produce any number of ‘fake fabrics’ to fool the exhibition hall.

‘I didn’t dress up for this purpose.’

Fortunately, my body now has a lot of black in it.

The identity of the suit this body is currently wearing is none other than that which was purchased from the store of a person named Seo Yo-han.

Esther brought me there around the time of the inevitable malicious incident, and I had received deliveries there several times, so the address was somewhat familiar, so I bought new clothes there.

‘I guess I should prepare some magic before going in.’

Fragments of the night?

I’ll even match the thread thickness to the exact same unit.

And to avoid being tracked down by things like mixing ratios, we need to mix in some impurities. For example, the fabric of the ice packs that are often handed out at this event.

If that’s the case, then even if we look at it through a microscope, we won’t be able to tell whose clothes it is.

‘It’s fortunate that the materials are similar in appearance and not shiny like leather.’

Okay. Then I guess you’ve organized it in your head again.

Should I make up my mind and give it a try now?

‘It just so happens that there aren’t any S-class hunters around here… … .’

When I think about it, the closest thing I can find is Hunter Iori, who is in the building next door.

Even if the fire alarm or security alarm sounds, they won’t come right away.

I went straight to the exhibition hall where [Fragments of the Midnight] were and started the process.

Another advantage of this great wizard is that he has good execution skills.

‘By simple calculation, it would take about two minutes to evict all the citizens.’

Just try once.

Preparations are complete.

Hururuk.

As if it had spontaneously combusted due to sunlight.

I started the plan by lighting fire to a poster that had been sitting still on one side of the exhibition hall.

If you start a fire too early, ordinary people may get hurt, so start with just a small spark.

Let’s sound the alarm right away. Let’s light a fire on the way back so that the situation where the S-class evacuates people doesn’t become strange.

‘And when questioned later, they explain that they were so startled by the sight of the flames that they looked for the fire alarm as they had been taught, which led to their delayed response.’

This context should not feel awkward to Earthlings.

Immediately after setting the fire.

I moved quickly down the hallway and manually activated the red alarm.

‘Wait a minute, but what if this object is just for show…?’

I had this thought for a moment, but contrary to my worries, the alarm sounded without a hitch.

-Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Up to this point, everything went according to plan.

“What are you doing?”

But right after this.

An unimaginable upheaval began to occur in Building A1 where I was standing.

***

‘Oh my god.’

Thump. Thump. Thump.

A hallway paved with white marble.

A short person passes the place weakly.

The identity of the person was S-class hunter Iori.

‘How do I get that item from the Technology Office? Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo wants to buy it.’

He had several roles to fulfill as he was called to this event to ensure safety.

Among them was the task of guarding items to be auctioned. Iori was patrolling in his spare time while someone else guided him through the event.

This hallway was a passageway connected to the storage room.

“Phew.”

During break time, which would normally be boring, a crazy tension suddenly comes over me.

Kim Ki-ryeo, a benefactor of Japan, finally asked for something. What a situation where he couldn’t grant it.

But the [Fragment of the Midnight] issue wasn’t something that could be resolved just by groaning. Iori just kept walking, hoping that Ito’s negotiations would go well.

‘Oh, it’s the storage room door.’

Then, the warehouse containing the auction items also arrived.

For reference, the exact location of this place is on the 3rd floor of a twin building that is not on the map, and it is precariously connected to the interior of the event hall, called Building A, by a sky bridge on the 2nd floor.

However, since it is a security zone, visitors are not allowed to enter even if they are aware of it.

‘I ended up here after walking aimlessly. Since I’m already here, I might as well check to see if the security guards are okay… ‘

As is well known.

This hunter named Iori was very sociable.

So he checked the warehouse to get familiar with the faces of the new employees.

“Excuse me… “

Knock knock.

It was about the time I pushed open the door that moved sideways.

Something amazing happens.

“uh?”

Because all five guards inside the room were hunched over like zombies, looking at the ground.

No, what the heck is this picture?

Can I play some kind of game?

“Wow, that’s a surprise!”

Even upon closer inspection, they all had lowered their gazes and their eyes were unfocused, and their eyeballs themselves were bright red.

As if I had contracted an eye disease made of light.

Iori looked at that sight and tried to speak in a bewildered voice.

But at this moment, someone suddenly did something unexpected.

-Bang!

“Aaah!”

Kida, the A-class Awakened who was standing in the front row, unleashed his supernatural powers.

If it were a normal security industry, its employees would have to learn the skills to subdue others.

But the Awakened were not like that.

Because there was an extreme lack of talent, the only condition for their employment in special situations was strength.

“What is this…!”

The ability of the head of the security team is physical strengthening.

He stepped forward and forcefully pushed Iori back, who had his foot caught in the door frame.

“What is it! What are you doing!”

Moreover, the subsequent scenery is also a series of shocks.

The second and third bodyguards behind Kida also opened their red eyes like rabbits and ran out of the room using their abilities.

As the people disappeared, the strange phenomenon finally became apparent.

‘Artifact!’

Iori could tell, as an S-class hunter, he carried those items in his arms, even putting them in an item box.

The pink item on the right side of the room has clearly changed shape.

‘How did that come about?’

But we didn’t know that the item would cause such an accident.

The owner of the item above that epic price doesn’t want to give away the information cheaply. He said he wanted to reveal the [Appraisal] content of the new artifact only to the auction participants.

“Everyone stop!”

What on earth is that thing?

Is this an item that confuses people?

‘It’s too dangerous.’

Iori reflexively started to stop the guards as they ran out.

The first skill he summoned caught three people.

A method of suppressing by blowing strong wind from top to bottom.

However, because the caster weakened the strength of the spell for fear of harming people, one of the three people soon escaped.

And that wasn’t the only problem.

“This is so stupid…!”

Iori took out the walkie-talkie he had and shouted.

“Emergency situation! This is the D-building storage facility. The Awakened guards have suddenly lost their senses and…”

In the midst of all this, he tried to grab another visible guard.

But while he was struggling to control his strength, the three Awakened Ones he missed disappeared from sight.

bang!

In an instant, an ominous roar rings out from a distant direction.

“Moritake! If you’re listening to this, come to Building D immediately! Stop whatever you’re doing and come to the outskirts and….”

Iori was surprised and increased his jumping speed. Soon, this scene unfolded before him.

“Ugh!”

The floor of Building D had a large hole in it, as if it had been struck by a huge iron hammer.

The storage facility was on the third floor because security devices had to be installed thoroughly on all sides.

So if you go down this open hallway, you’ll reach the second floor.

2nd floor. The main element connected to the 2nd floor of Building D is… … .
