The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 311

Episode 311. Introduction (3)

This is good, I was already curious about what happened.

I answered the phone right away.

Then, from beyond the speaker, a sharp cry for help came, stirring the soul’s anxiety.

-Mr. Kiryeo, please help me!

And after waiting for a while, Esther, half sobbing, told me the whole story first… … .

***

The introduction has finally arrived.

【Why did this mess happen?】

First of all, the quickest way to understand a certain incident was to hear the testimony of Earthlings.

An S-class hunter named Esther actually noticed the onset of a certain incident a full 48 hours in advance.

“Because it’s a matter of gate entanglement. Actually, this was also quick, but that’s about it.”

First, let me explain. That Earth woman runs a hunter company that is comparable in size to a large corporation, so she is in a position where she can’t help but gain a lot of information.

So, a few days ago, she said she heard this sound in her ears.

– Mr. Seo. Did you hear? Well, the A-class gate was sold to the private sector.

A deal at the gate.

As we enter the era of Dungeon Shock, governments across the planet find themselves spending more money on a variety of fronts.

Of course.

In the past, maintaining a city was as simple as overturning a sidewalk block or two, but now walls are collapsing, and during the early days of the shock, the basement of the National Assembly building was filled with ghost monsters, and the national bunker was destroyed while fighting them.

The area of tax spending that has increased most dramatically is the maintenance and upkeep of public facilities.

Dungeon Shock not only killed people, but also caused trillions of dollars in material damage to each country.

So the government needs a lot more taxes, but if it continues to squeeze the common people who are already on the edge, it could be difficult for democracy to survive.

So instead of taking on all the risks of the gates, the state also claimed temporary ownership of the other worlds, and raised additional funds by selling them to the rich.

Even so, it is said that they have implemented minimal risk management as they have to undergo strict verification in order to renew it every 3 or 5 years…

I could say that until a week ago.

-A-class?

-yes.

– Are you selling to the public an A-class that has the same level of danger as the one where chaos occurs even if just one monster comes out of the grass nest and the deepest part?

Just a few days ago.

The Korean Hunter Association has entrusted management rights in an incomprehensible manner.

Even if it is a dragon that greatly benefits humanity, the transfer of A-class gates is completely prohibited by the organization’s rules because high-level demons can cause casualties with even the slightest mistake.

But in the midst of all this, when the association sold a class A gate, Esther thought to herself for a moment.

“At first, I thought it was an administrative error. I thought maybe an employee had made a typo while typing the alphabet to register.”

Of course, the reality was completely different from the inference.

“But the more I investigated, the more strange it became. The deeper I got into it, the more I realized there was more than one really uneasy corner.”

Here are some of the strange things Esther discovered:

●First, the A-class gate sales that were thought to be just rumors were true.

The organization that actually manages dungeon auctions has privately sold a part of another world with a 5.4m long passageway entrance.

Because the gap in space is so large, it is easy to measure the flowing magical power, so the discovery of the phenomenon itself was easy.

Of course, right after that.

●Second, but in the case of state-sponsored gate transactions, the bid price and owner must be disclosed unconditionally, but the information for the A-class is not in the database?

The problem, however, was that more serious abnormalities were observed.

“So… to sum it up, Ms. Esther noticed the transaction at the upper gate and tried to find out what was going on.”

“yes.”

“Before making an inquiry, I first wanted to find out the name of the gate, but I couldn’t find anything of Class A in the agency’s consignment transaction disclosure history.”

“yes.”

“I felt something was strange, so I went to the site that someone had occupied, just as Director Yu of the Hanshin Guild, who had first relayed the information, had said.”

“The guys had blocked off the area around the gate with metal signs used at construction sites.”

Sob, sob, sob.

For reference, this is not Neo Hospital, but another hospital in Seoul.

I came here because she said we should meet to discuss the details, and the person who called the alien was currently coughing up a liquid that I couldn’t tell if it was blood or snot.

Now that the visit from the healing psychic is over, that miserable look probably isn’t just because of the pain.

“Sigh, so as soon as I realized the clues, I went straight to the association headquarters. And then I called the person in charge and heard this ridiculous story.”

“The person in charge.”

Esther is still very upset about ‘something’.

She spoke with a fever, her face still red even though her wounds had healed.

“The ones who bought that A-class gate were a small, unheard-of hunter company.”

“yes?”

“A new small guild that isn’t our Matap, Neo, or even Shin-ui or Hanshin Guild, has taken possession of a Korean A-class gate?”

It sounds strange when you hear it.

Because of my status, I was surrounded by relatively higher class people.

In fact, since there were only a few top-tier members among the Awakened, the probability of a new guild having someone with exceptional skills was low.

Moreover, this is even more true if it is a team unit that can reliably manage the same A-grade gate.

But I don’t even know where it came from…

[QuantumPulse]

Is it even possible for a hole-in-the-wall shop like this to own an upper-level dungeon?

●Third, when I asked the final person in charge of gate transactions about this situation, he responded that the disclosure of the gate transaction facts was simply a delay in processing due to the summer vacation of lower-level managers.

When the reply came back, it was explained that the gate in question was an exception and that ownership was transferred because internal research confirmed that it contained a substance that would have a tremendous impact on human development, even though it was a Class A.

●Fourth, the Korean Tower Guild Leader who heard this answer rebuked, “Do you think it makes sense that you are passing over our guild and Neo Sisters and making an exception for that small guild? Did you hold the auction properly?

●Fifth, Kim ○○, a superior of the association, explained in vain that this A-class gate was granted exclusive authority because a researcher belonging to the relevant buyer’s guild had achieved results in the interpretation of new substances.

This is what this woman has been through in the past 48 hours.

‘It’s a complicated procedure, as expected from Earth.’

The purple-haired woman continued, examining her blood-stained blouse with irritation.

“Anyway, that person keeps saying that there were no legal issues with his work. Anyone can see that this is suspicious.”

“There is no legal problem?”

“I actually confirmed that the restrictions on A-class gate transactions were recently lifted. In any case, that part was more of a light-hearted promise rather than an actual law. And since it was an internal rule, I don’t think someone with some influence could change it with some money and tricks.”

“hmm.”

“What kind of dark administration is this anyway!”

I’m not sure what the administrative expression in the middle means, but the sorcerer seems angry, so let’s keep our mouths shut.

“So I was so unconvinced that I threatened the president’s life to find out the truth.”

it serves him right.

“I told the new president that if he was going to do things like this, he should just be arrested for dereliction of duty and I should be handed over to the police for assault and become cellmates.”

It was a good thing I didn’t go against his wishes.

“Then they finally conducted a quick investigation and told me that it seemed like the person in charge had been lobbied. Oh, and of course, I also took down the video that was uploaded to the internet without permission around this time.”

“……?”

“They even went as far as lobbying to own a first-class gate. They’d be caught and the news would be out soon anyway, so do you understand why they spent billions of won?”

“well.”

“Furthermore, upon closer inspection, I found out that the [QuantumPulse] Hunter Guild that purchased the gate in question was not just a small guild, but a ‘ghost company’ whose members’ identities were not properly identified.”

“!”

“But I still wonder where such a small shop could have come up with the huge lobbying funds to seduce a high-ranking official.”

chin.

Esther felt pain again in her injured right eye. She brought her hand back to my face and continued explaining.

Honestly, I am confident that if a crisis were to hit this country where innocent citizens would die en masse, I would be able to deal with it even if the culprit were a world leader.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think this problem can be solved in a simple way.”

Well, that’s pretty much it.

“I threatened the association president with a curse and got a promise to cancel the ownership of the gate later. But, even when I contacted the registered number, there was no response from the other party.”

Esther lifted her face again from her hands.

“But the appearance of the traded dungeon was a whole 6 days ago.”

“It looks like the break is imminent. Depending on the size, it may have already been breached.”

“That’s why I had no choice but to put aside all legal procedures and rush straight to the scene, even if it meant going overboard…”

It took quite a while to explain, but the wait was worth it, as the heart of all the events has finally come out.

“I really didn’t know there would be a ‘herd of beasts’ in there.”

“Yes. Who would have expected that?”

Shockingly enough.

The identity of the ruffian who attacked Esther’s eyes was Beast.

‘To be exact, it’s a fake beast that was trying to stop this Earthling from clearing the gate.’

I sit with my back to the ground, lost in thought.

“The beast group that was on the news recently is inside the dungeon…?”

Anyway, what a huge accident this is.

Until now, they had avoided neighborhoods where Asians lived, as if it were some twisted form of racial discrimination. But then, the owners of bone masks suddenly landed in South Korea.

And Esther was badly injured when she was attacked by the beasts that occupied the dungeon.

“Hehe. You bastards! If my power wasn’t a curse with such low lethality, I would’ve sent two of them away. And all it took was breaking one person’s ribs.”

“Were their ranks high?”

“It’s not that high. I realized it when I saw it in person. The beasts that the news talks about are all top-notch!”

Esther is lamenting her defeat, adding to the exaggeration.

But I was more concerned about the scars left on the other person’s skin than such emotional expressions.

‘Ah, my goodness. How could you harm a precious Korean S-class so carelessly… … .’

You f*cking fake beast!

‘This cursed wizard is the number 2 security guard who will be responsible for my safety in my old age!’

Feeling sorry, he picked up a wet tissue nearby and wiped Esther’s bloody tentacles.

Let’s correct that.

Come to think of it, Earthlings’ hair isn’t made of tentacles, but just dead cells.

“Mr. Kiryeo……”

Crunch crunch crunch.

I thought to myself as I wiped my purple hair with my hand.

Anyway, something was definitely wrong with the alien-inhabited second home.

According to Esther’s testimony, there are three S-class hunters at that gate.

‘Are there really so many superlatives in this world? I don’t think so.’

As the news has reported, three unidentified superpowered people wearing bone masks have appeared.

Esther repeatedly stated that she was concerned about where they might use the unidentified Class A gate.

However, it is a bit strange for the Archmage to directly intervene in this incident.

‘I’m sorry, Ha Sung-ah. I said that before, but in reality, the real X-food was this way… … .’

Brooklyn also barely managed to defeat them after putting up all kinds of tactics.

Now, three enemies with S-rank awakening levels have gathered together and are occupying a Korean dungeon.

But I couldn’t just ignore it because the incident happened right in front of my residence, so I was worried.

So, after discussing with Esther, I decided to go out to the field.

What on earth is the identity of the dungeon they took over by crossing the water? Originally, I was only planning to briefly confirm that fact.

‘───No, damn it, what the hell is this!’

But the moment I discovered the actual gate in question.

My once peaceful inner self was filled with the sound of wailing.

Even after completely understanding the identity of the stolen dungeon, a sense of alarm suddenly came to mind that not only Jeong Ha-seong, but also the third person, Kang Chang-ho, had to be brought to this place.

As time passed, the situation became more complicated.
