Episode 57. I didn’t know that fact.
“After all, in your eyes I look like a patient… … .”
Ha-seong washed his face dry. After that, he turned around and walked away without saying a word.
Because I didn’t dare to admit that my heart was shaken by Gi-ryeo’s words.
“Excuse me.”
“Ah, Hunter Jeong Ha-seong… … .”
Ha Seong bowed to a nearby association employee and left.
There was no greeting towards Class F.
My thoughts were too complicated at the moment, so I planned to contact you again after I had calmed down a bit.
But how could this side know other people’s feelings?
‘I guess you don’t even want to look at my face.’
Kiryeo thought that Jeong Ha-seong had simply left because he was angry.
‘Anyway, we didn’t get hit, so the operation was a success?’
Long live Ahn Yoon-seung!
Anyway, the bluff really worked. Isn’t this a great discovery?
The wizards of Earth were truly sloppy. They were so confused because they couldn’t even properly grasp the enemy’s skills.
‘Jung Ha-seong has a habit of not rushing at someone who looks stronger than him.’
Heh heh heh.
Kim Ki-ryeo made a promise. He was going to make sure that S-class hunter would not have any foolish thoughts and would keep him under control in the future.
What’s so special about pretending to be strong?
Since he has already lived as a truly powerful person as a great wizard, he only needs to imitate his past actions.
‘Well, I’ll get my strength back soon anyway, so it’s not like I’m lying!’
But at this moment.
A certain woman’s appearance caught Kiria’s eye.
From afar, Seon Woo-yeon was silent with a serious expression on his face.
“Mr. Seonwooyeon?”
Seonwooyeon shrank slightly as Gi-ryeo approached. Then she spoke softly.
“If you want to keep your mouth shut, you don’t have to. I won’t tell anyone what I saw today.”
“Huh?”
“I promise.”
Of course, it wouldn’t be good if rumors spread that he was targeted by an S-class. I was touched by Seon Woo-yeon’s consideration.
“I would appreciate it if you could do that.”
Of course, I won’t bother explaining how this appearance appeared to Seon Woo-yeon.
After the argument was over.
12:10 p.m. A restaurant near the association.
‘I can’t eat rice.’
Seon Woo-yeon was currently feeling like she was going to die.
I had barely managed to get through the fierce conflict between the #1 ranked person and the disguised ranker, but the next ordeal came right away.
“The pickled vegetables here are delicious.”
Then someone suddenly sits down next to her.
Long eyes without double eyelids and small pupils.
That’s the class disguised.
“Is that seaweed soup?”
“yes…….”
“Does it have beef in it?”
How in the world does this happen!
I never thought this man would be as skilled as Jeong Ha-seong!
“Oh, maybe.”
inconvenient.
But the company we had now was unavoidable.
Kim Ki-ryeo had been asking for some information from him for a while, and the fastest way to explain it was to use the lunch hour.
“Big. Anyway, you’re wondering what happened to that attempted murderer you met at the park.”
“yes!”
Seon Woo-yeon finally got to the main point.
After that, her one-sided explanation continued.
“As I said this morning, the police will probably contact you soon, but to cut to the chase, it will be difficult to arrest them.”
“hmm.”
“I wasn’t able to properly identify him. As a stopgap measure, I tried to track down the rare item he had.”
“There must have been too many people with the same item.”
“Yes, well. Actually, this method has many unstable elements… … .”
Dalgrak.
Kim Ki-ryeo quietly plays with the dishes.
“Police ultimately failed to identify the suspect’s address.”
“aha.”
“sorry.”
“You have nothing to be sorry about.”

Seonwooyeon was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth again.
“… … But there is good news too.”
Hearing this, Kiri looked up from her bowl of soup. Good news?
“You were trapped in the gate with Hunter Jeong Ha-seong a while ago, right?”
“You know.”
“At least the mastermind behind the incident has been revealed. We recently caught up with the terrorist.”
Seon Woo-yeon said that and stopped talking. Then he took out his cell phone and started writing something diligently.
“Why all of a sudden… … .”
Are you stopping talking? I was about to ask that.
Tiring. Kim Ki-ryeo’s cell phone rings.
The text she sent contained this one sentence:
[Have you heard of the word ‘Nachalsa Temple’?]
Nacha Temple.
I quietly skimmed over the words I was trying to remember.
***
A few days ago.
To be exact, it was a point in the past about 48 hours before the large-scale terrorist attacks and pseudo-suicide bombings of August.
Pyonagil’s hideout.
“This dog -like baby!”
“Brother, what’s going on?”
The young leader of the criminal organization enters the warehouse, grumbling.
He had just come back from executing a S-class assassination operation.
“By the way, what happened to Jeong Ha-seong… … .”
“Can’t you see? I came back without a single soot on me. Do you think I really came with that?”
The sign looked unpleasant.
The plan went awry because a mysterious F-class was attached to Jeong Ha-seong.
This is certainly annoying, but it’s not what’s causing my current anger.
“Hey, Soye -hui X called right now.”
“yes?”
“Bring that fake punk! Tell him the assassination was a success. Got it?”
As soon as Pyonagil returned to his hiding place, he looked for a certain person.
A source of funds that is in partnership with oneself. A believer of the temple of Nachal.
“Anyway, I recognized that funny pseudonym, Suye Hwi. I didn’t trust that guy!”
Pyo Na-gil recalled the situation that had just occurred.
Use it when you encounter an S-class within the gate.
Things will turn out in your favor.
They said this and handed him the [Collapse Particle] item.
[Collapse Particle] is a rare item that doesn’t come up for sale very often, so I readily received it.
‘You were planning to trap me and the S-class inside the gate!’
Pyonagil, who had confirmed the effect of the item, felt like he had been hit in the back of the head.
Because no hunter wants to be isolated in a strange world where the passages have disappeared due to artificial manipulation.
“Brother, I contacted you. You will be here soon.”
“okay.”
Pyonagil sharpened his knife.
I can’t live like this.
I have to pay back all those crazy quacks who almost drowned me.
In particular, the porter named Su Ye-hui was intended to die in terrible pain.
‘Anyway, I’ll just change the face and name.’
After you’ve slaughtered the believers, you can just abandon the stronghold.
You’ve always done so well up until now.
Things just didn’t work out for a while because he was trying to kill a big shot like an S-class. He was the best at interpersonal combat.
“Just come and see.”
Pyo Na-gil set up traps all over the hideout and quietly held his breath.
And a moment later, there was a knock.
-Thump thump, thump thump.
“I guess they’re here.”
“Open.”
After waiting for a moment, someone poked his head out from beyond the heavy iron gate.
“Mr. Jun-tae! I received your call! I heard the assassination was successful?”
Pretty appearance and thin frame. A translucent white raincoat worn over clothes.
The polite believer bowed his head and entered. That was the moment.
“evil!”
Someone screamed hoarsely.
It was a voice from a person named Suye Hui.
In the blink of an eye, Pyo Na-gil came and cut off his own ankle.
“Go, go, why all of a sudden… … ?”
“Just answer the questions I ask you from now on.”
“Hic.”
“That damned destruction item. What on earth were you going to do with it?”
“Destruction item? Oh, uh, a red orb?”
“Don’t answer a question with a question!”
He placed his hand on Su-ye-hui’s head, which was lying on the floor.
Pyonagil’s awakening skill has been activated once again.
Crunch.
“Ahh!”
As blood flowed from Bane’s shoulder, the believer of the temple trembled and said.
“Intention? I just did it according to the leader’s will… …!”
“An item that removes the gate entrance? If I had known in advance, I would never have used such a thing!”
“Well, didn’t that help?”
“what?”
“Hic! Oh, no. That’s it. Anyway, you can never miss your target, right? Isn’t that why you succeeded in assassinating him?”
If you lock them in the gate, most hunters won’t be able to escape. In some ways, it’s a useful item for assassination.
“In other words, I won’t be able to escape either. And I’ll be alone with an S-class inside the gate!”
Pyo Na-gil lowered his cold gaze.
“Mr. Jun-tae… … .”
“Don’t worry though. At least your leader will be happy.”
“yes?”
“I told you the mission was accomplished, didn’t I? While Jeong Ha-seong was entering the gate, I cleared the passage from the outside.”
Then the believer stopped trembling and raised his head.
“You didn’t kill him yourself?”
“what?”
“Did you just destroy the gate and come back?”
What does that mean?
“Why? Surely there is a way to escape, rather than being locked up forever?”
“Yes, yes. If you kill the boss, an exit will open. That was a prerequisite that could not be stopped in any way.”
The pseudo-man wearing a raincoat looked flustered. However, Pyo Na-gil did not seem to care much.
“Really? Then, I know it’s unfortunate, but I’ll have to give up on the S-class assassination.”
“Huh? Dad, you clearly said you would take responsibility. And you took that much money!”
“Would I want to do that? Who would have thought that F-class would be next to Jeong Ha-seong?”
Knock knock.
The leader of the crime syndicate places his hand on his contact’s head again.
“It’s all your fault for nagging and whining from the sidelines. You f*cking idiots!”
Then the contact person looked up at him and said.
“We are not a cult….”
“… .”
“I worship the real God of Heaven, unlike those fake religions! Do you really believe that Dungeon Shock happened naturally? All of them were to test us sinners… .”
Even at this moment, you’re talking nonsense. Is this religious person fearless?
“Anyway, this is really disappointing. Another failed assassination.”
“her.”
“Even if you lock them in the gate, an S-class will figure it out and kill the boss. Failure is certain. We gave them one last chance.”
The believer of the temple scolded him in a cold voice. At this, Pyonagil snorted.
“So what? Don’t you know whose hands are holding your life now?”
The hand holding the contact’s head gradually gained strength. With the strength of a high-ranking Awakened, it would be enough to crush the skull with evil force.
“… After all, isn’t it wrong to use a seed without faith in any way?”
But then.
Somehow the believer’s attitude became strange.
“You don’t have a sense of urgency or responsibility because you don’t understand why you have to do it.”
“what?”
“The plan to expand the religious influence with money… I must withdraw it now.”
Too overbearing.
Pyonagil was strangely annoyed by the other person’s words, so he tried to cut off Shindo’s fingertips.
however.
“Are you just now realizing what’s strange?”
The cutting skill never activated.
Pyonagil just stood there frozen and silently listened to the believer’s words.
“If you were your usual self, you would have killed me by cutting off my head the moment you saw me. That would be faster and safer.”
Pyonagil was still silent.
“But why did you suddenly cut off my ankle? Did it occur to you that you wanted to torture me slowly instead of killing me easily?”
My body wouldn’t move the way I wanted it to.
“You should know now. That you had an unconscious mind in your head that you absolutely must not kill Suye Hwi.”
The figure wearing a white raincoat rose lightly from his seat.
Even though he limped because of his ankle, a relaxed expression remained on his lips.
“I kept an eye on him because he was a capable person, but it’s too bad.”
“Ugh, ugh!”
“I am the agent connected to you, Lady Nacha. I have no intention of hurting this precious body and prolonging my life with shamelessness.”
Pyonagil took out the poisoned dagger that was in his pocket.
Trembling.
A unique item that took the lives of countless people. Its blade slowly headed towards the nape of his neck.
“Pay the price of failure.”
“Ugh, ugh!”
“You are all sinners.”
This is a brainwashing skill… …!
Finally, this side also noticed Su Ye-hui’s true identity, but it was too late.
Sigh.
Then, eerie sounds began to echo throughout the warehouse.
The leaders of the criminal organization led by Pyo Na-gil committed suicide en masse.
“ha.”
Su Ye-hui looked down at the blood splattered on her raincoat.
As the founder of the Nachal Temple, this wasn’t a scene I had seen once or twice.
“Is this a revelation from heaven telling me to take better care of my existing followers rather than run like an octopus?”
Thump, thump, thump.
Su-Ye-Hwi walked around the quiet warehouse alone. She rummaged through the stacked boxes and opened drawers in the corner for no reason.
“Why aren’t things going well?”
Then, I found this document in the third compartment of the iron filing cabinet.
[Hunter Profile]
[Kim Ki-ryeo]
“Yeah, right… … .”
Someone’s image is visible beyond the blurry black and white photo. Su-ye-hui squinted her eyes.
“Things are suspiciously not going well.”
