The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 47

Episode 47. Hunter Crime (2)

“uh?”

The F-class hunters who were thought to be pitiful sacrificial lambs were actually disguised as awakened beings like themselves.

The invisible man test was completed by that person.

Kim Ki-ryeo has proven his abilities on the rooftop.

Why, of all things.

“I see. Why didn’t I think of it until now? That’s right. That F-class emotional intelligence agent who passed through the maze… … .”

An unknown sense of anxiety rose up in my chest.

It felt as if an invisible noose was tightening around my neck.

This mysterious man was strangely involved in their affairs.

Is it all just a coincidence?

“What a lucky guy! If he had made one wrong move, he would have been sold, but it seems he survived thanks to Kang Chang-ho destroying the organization.”

“well.”

Now that I look at it, it’s really suspicious that his affiliation is blank.

If you have analytical skills, you will be free to get a job at a guild.

‘No matter how I look at it, it feels like we’re in the same industry.’

Could it be that the collapse of the human trafficking ring was a kind of power struggle?

Suddenly, Pyo Na-gil had that thought.

In fact, he himself disliked that new organization.

‘I worked hard to open up a trading route for the distribution of illegal items, and then they shamelessly got in on it.’

Since they were doing business that way, there must have been some enemies.

“Hey, everyone, look at this kid’s eyes. Does he look like he’s used to working in bright places? I bet he’s killed someone before.”

Pyo Na-gil poked at Kim Ki-ryeo’s black-and-white printed ID photo.

Of course, no one laughed at the joke.

It was a story too plausible to just pass over.

“Hey, why are you all so serious? Lighten up. If you think about it, this is a good situation.”

“yes?”

“The only hunter who caught the invisible man is not yet a member of the Magic Tower Guild.”

He jumps up from the chair he was sitting on.

“You’re saying that you can strike Esther before she does something wrong.”

The man walked over to the mirror hanging in the corner of the warehouse and straightened his hair.

***

Stop! Please stop!

Just how good do you think you’ll be!

Wasn’t it enough to become a great wizard at that age?

A person like you has now even dabbled in the field of hard work… …!

“It’s a fact that I sometimes forget after reincarnation.”

Kim Ki-ryeo’s one-room apartment.

In front of the bathroom mirror.

“Ha, I really am a genius.”

I stuck out my tongue at the sight before my eyes.

In fact, I’ve been locked in my room this week, contemplating ways to get my magic back.

As you know, there was a big difference in environment between Earth and my hometown.

The biomes are also very different.

So, in order to use the magic used in my hometown here, a major modification of the spell is necessary.

“This is too easy. Is it because it’s the magic I use the most?”

I’ve managed to master one intermediate spell in the past few days.

“Tick tick!”

“Well, perfect.”

A rat is cheering on top of a white sink.

The small brown rat shook its right hand, left hand, and left leg alternately according to my will.

So, that’s what’s in this update.

[1.1.0 Changes]

●Corpse manipulation technique available

I added another line to my research notes.

“Squeak squeak squeak~”

But we must not be satisfied here.

There are still mountains of things to verify.

I have to deal with mammals larger than this at least once.

We need to cross-check to see if the magic works on birds and insects as well.

‘My ultimate goal is to deal with people, but it seems like it’ll be difficult to find fresh corpses.’

For a moment, I thought back to the raccoon carcass I had picked up the other day.

By the way, it was too damaged to be used.

So, we buried him in a sunny place according to the Earth’s funeral laws. That’s ethical.

‘I need a sample.’

Bam.

As the spell duration ends, the rat falls limply.

I put it back in the freezer and got ready to go.

It might be a disgusting sight for an Earthling to see… … No, but I also have no choice.

‘Let’s see.’

Anyway, I personally think Korea is a good country.

Because it’s a neighborhood where you can see mountains just by turning your eyes a little.

‘I guess a natural environment like that would be nice.’

I decided to go to the nearby mountains to get a new corpse to test my magic on.

There happened to be a park along the way, so I walked slowly while taking a walk.

‘Interesting.’

Rich air.

A strangely shaped gray cloud.

City structures painted in a variety of colors.

When I come outside, I feel like I’m in a different world.

If only the circumstances weren’t like this, I would have been completely absorbed in planetary observation by now.

‘I was reincarnated as the weakest Awakened person on Earth, kidnapped for possessing valuable skills, and targeted by a dangerous guy named Kang Chang-ho.’

Huh? Why on earth did I get reincarnated?

‘Ugh, this f*cking F-rank shell! Why am I, a great wizard, always squirming… …!’

My eyes are getting wet.

That’s why the scenery seemed to be swaying since earlier.

“… … .”

Wait, this isn’t just moisture.

‘hmm?’

I stopped walking and looked straight ahead.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary park scene.

However, I could clearly feel the flow of magical power running through them.

“hmm.”

It’s a familiar annoyance.

Someone who had become transparent was covering my eyes with their hand.

Even when I tried to get out of the way, my palm stubbornly clung to me, so I couldn’t ignore it.

“What are you doing?”

I asked the air.

To this the invisible man replied:

“You can really see it.”

It’s already annoying. Should I just grit my teeth and pretend not to know?

While I was gathering my thoughts, the invisible man lifted his spell and spoke to me.

“Haha, are you that annoyed? Relax. I was just joking.”

A young man who looked like he was about to become a college student appeared.

Overall, it had a well-maintained appearance.

“By the way, where are you going? Kim Ki-ryeo.”

But right now, other people’s impressions aren’t important. Wait a minute, what did you just say? Kim Ki-ryeo?

‘I know the owner of this body!’

Carefree playfulness. Gentle expression.

There’s even an exact roll call.

There was only one guess in my head. This guy was an acquaintance of Kim Ki-ryeo.

“I’m on my way to the mountain… … .”

“Hiking? You little punk, are you already taking care of your health?”

The other person’s light tone gradually gave strength to my reasoning.

But the problem is, even though I faced this person right in front of my nose, I have no memory of it at all.

‘Let’s just wait and see what happens.’

I approached the conversation very nervously, as if I were meeting a classmate whose name I had forgotten.

“Then, before we go hiking, can I ask you something?”

“what?”

“No, I heard it somewhere. That you were the first to clear the Korean Tower Maze.”

“hmm.”

“Are you close with Esther?”

“Are we close?”

“If you had broken the maze, you would have seen the guild leader’s face.”

But where on earth did such a rumor spread?

Would a S-class Awakened person, who is also the representative of a guild, be close to me?

I shook my head slowly.

“Really? Then what, are you currently under contract with anyone? Are you working as a mercenary or something like that?”

He looks visibly pleased as I shake my head repeatedly.

“I guess I’m not really that involved with the guild.”

Well, I guess the conversation has progressed to some extent. I was thinking of slowly finding out who this unidentified person is.

“But you… … .”

He stares intently at my face.

Then he tilted his head slightly, opened his eyes wide as if he had seen something interesting, and began to ask questions.

“Why are you so good at answering questions from people you’re meeting for the first time?”

This kid… … .

‘What kind of kid are you?’

In an instant, a cold sweat runs down my back, like melted ice sliding down my back.

In fact, we didn’t know each other. Then how do you know my name, and why are you acting so friendly…?

“That’s funny. You don’t show any sign of panic in this situation. You’re just like a well-trained agent.”

I’ll just stay in the corner of the house today.

“I wish my kids had this much courage.”

I’m scared to death.

“Since I’ve opened the door, I’ll ask one more question. Actually, this is what I was most curious about. How on earth do you see through this stealth skill?”

“… … .”

“Is it a skill or a tool?”

At first, I thought he appeared transparently because he was a close friend of Kim Ki-ryeo.

But now that I think about it, this kid was completely testing my abilities.

‘Oh, shit.’

I should have just pretended not to see it until the end!

‘What should I say? I can’t even be honest about this.’

I unconsciously rubbed the bridge of my nose as a headache came over me.

Perhaps this was Kim Ki-ryeo’s habit while he was alive.

“You don’t want to talk? Then that’s fine.”

But at that time.

As the silence grew longer than intended, the person who had been staring at me said something unexpected.

“I originally thought that if I scared you a little, you wouldn’t react, but after meeting you in person, I think that would be difficult to do with you… … .”

You don’t have to tell the secret of seeing through invisible people.

Well, doesn’t that mean the conversation ends here?

“Can I go now?”

In my impatience, the voice of my heart came out.

The young Earthling who heard this waved his hand with a surprised face.

“No, no, no. I have to hear the main point. Kim Ki-ryeo, you’re surprisingly impatient?”

“Where did you find out my name?”

“You’re complaining now? Then I’ll do it for you too, fair and square! I’m Park Jun-tae. Park Jun-tae.”

A man who introduced himself as Park Jun-tae extended his right hand and asked for a handshake.

But I didn’t hold his hand.

Couldn’t catch it.

“… What else do you see?”

Park Jun-tae.

He looks at me quietly with a cold sneer on his lips.

Damn, why do I always have to go through these hardships?

‘I wasn’t a light attribute wizard.’

This was the first time since my reincarnation that I had used such an aggressive technique.

This Awakened One seemed to have the ability to cut anything he touched with his hands.

It’s a risky magic with a narrow range, but the payoff is that it’s incredibly powerful.

‘If you touch that hand, you die.’

An F-class like Kim Ki-ryeo can be chopped to pieces in less than 0.5 seconds.

At this point, it’s as good as if that guy is threatening you with a knife.

I couldn’t lift a finger.

“Hey, smile. I just wanted to make a suggestion today.”

“yes?”

“Do you want to do something with me?”

Since this side is completely frozen, he continues talking on his own.

“Actually, your abilities conflict with the business we will be doing in the future.”

‘business?’

“But when I think about it carefully, it’s such a waste. It would be more beneficial to have an Awakener of your caliber on the team!”

I am not awkward with Earth’s language.

At least this piece of garbage corpse hasn’t forgotten its native language.

So, I was able to figure out the hidden meaning in this sentence.

“Anyway, I personally want to recruit you. I’ll promise to double whatever you’ve been paid so far. What do you think?”

This man intends to kill me if I refuse his offer.

‘In broad daylight, and in a park with lots of people coming and going?’

So this is what you came here for from the beginning.

I don’t know the details, but they’ll have to kill me because I’m interfering with their work.

When the time comes to deal with it, I become greedy for my abilities.

So, if that’s the case, then great, if not, then don’t bother with the suggestion…

“What’s wrong? Do you hate it?”

Even Park Jun-tae didn’t seem to have any intention of waiting long for an answer.

Then I feel his magic power baring its teeth viciously. It’s killing me.

“You’re giving me double?”

I looked around, pretending to be interested in the offer.

But unfortunately, the setting of a park in broad daylight didn’t help me at all.

‘Rotten!’

Weekday morning. Cloudy weather. Long walk.

Bad news piled up. At the time, there was no one in the immediate area.
