The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 62

Episode 62. Pain

Then same time.

What on earth is the power behind the scenes, the main character of the topic, doing?

***

Around 10am on Thursday.

Swish, swish.

Every time I move my body, I feel the cool cloth against my forearm.

It has the feel of polyester, which is often used in tents.

At first glance, you’d think someone was rolling around in a shelter tent.

If you think about it, there’s no way the polyester texture would directly touch your body if you put a blanket in the tent.

“… .”

Let me explain the situation more clearly now.

Kim Ki-ryeo. The man was currently wrapped tightly in white and red cloth.

The feeling of a square space that I’ve been feeling since a while ago originated from here.

Besides, what is this chair?

He is strapped to an old chair, the kind used to hold prisoners’ leashes.

If you apply force, the magical tool binding your body will become more binding, making it impossible to even get up.

“hmm.”

This is enough explanation.

What else can you say about being tied up in a gray cement room?

‘Tsk!’

This is Kidnapping Season 2.

He closed his eyes tightly.

Why this time!

***

24 hours ago from now.

“What?”

The organization had a middle manager called the Great Teacher.

But one day, this great teacher hears shocking news.

The believers heading to the Golden Fragrance were all arrested!

“Then what about the items? You didn’t even bring the items?”

“Yes.”

“Ugh.”

One day, the leader of the temple he serves said,

A reward frequently dropped by golem-type bosses.

Offer me the [Infinite Power Core].

It was a one-sided order as always, but wouldn’t a leader as heavenly as ours have a purpose?

The great teacher hurriedly gathered people to meet the leader’s demands.

But I never thought this would turn out to be a failure.

“I don’t feel like meeting my father.”

The problem didn’t end there.

The infinite power core is a popular item that all major companies are eyeing.

‘If we compete with whales like Korea Tower, we will lose too much money.’

The prices are high and there are no properties for sale.

So now, the only viable method is to catch monsters directly… … .

“teacher?”

We lost a precious Class A believer.

Even from now on, you have to endlessly wait for the Golem Gate, which may appear at any time.

If we’re not careful with this… .

What if I can’t get the core within the deadline?

‘That kind of thing must never happen.’

The great teacher stroked his beard and spoke quietly.

“Look here. That Golden Fragrance Gate. Who were the hunters that entered first?”

“yes?”

“Anyway, there must be a leader among them.”

Then the subordinate nods.

“Are you asking whose hands the core is in now?”

This contact has a good ear.

So I overheard everything the men who escaped from the Golden Fragrance were saying.

-Who caught the boss?

-That’s right, brother… … .

The believer briefly recalled the past conversation and then said.

“I heard that a hunter named Kiryeo took down Grid.”

At this moment, there is no news of a new core item appearing. If so, it means that the item is still in the hands of the raider.

“I guess there’s no choice. It’s a risk, but I have to fill the void left by the lost A-class anyway… … .”

The great master whispered something meaningful to his subordinate.

***

one side.

Inside the Dungeon Break temporary housing facility for displaced persons.

“What were you doing that it’s already 8 o’clock?”

I lay in my tent and munched on potato chips I bought at the convenience store.

Today was a really tough day.

Aren’t you going to scuffle with criminals?

I worked hard to gather my strength, but in the end, Ahn Yoon-seung only did good things.

“phew.”

But there was something to be gained from this incident.

If it is difficult to keep a record of the transaction, there is also the method of using the loot directly.

‘Where did you find even one?’

Boss subjugation reward: [Infinite Power Core].

I acquired ownership of the item through this hunt.

While the processed parts such as the core are in a form where the energy is difficult for an individual to utilize, and is best converted into money, the blue core is a convenient resource that can be handled with bare hands without any special tools or processing.

“Hoo hoo hoo.”

The intended use has already been decided.

With such a massive source of magical power, you can do some amazing things.

‘But that’s only after the house is restored.’

Roll around.

I changed my position and lay down.

That was the moment.

Knock knock knock.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the tent from outside. I looked up and saw a person’s shadow moving beyond the translucent fabric.

‘Ah, distribution of donations.’

Should I stay at a shelter for a day or two?

Anyway, kind-hearted Earthlings would have brought something like rice.

“Yes. I’m going out.”

I opened the tent zipper without much suspicion.

As expected, there were two young men with gentle impressions standing in front of him.

“The curry you gave me the other day was delicious….”

It was a good atmosphere.

Until those volunteers put a belt around my neck.

-Kwak.

No, wait.

If you look closely, it’s not just a belt…

‘Magic tool!’

Shururuk.

The red ribbon they threw choked me in an instant. It felt like a living creature as it moved and twitched.

‘Eww!’

Moreover, this was not a simple bondage.

The red ribbon stretched endlessly, tightly binding my mouth, nose, and lungs.

‘Ugh!’

Blocking the wizard’s breathing… …!

This is the easiest way to prevent a skill from activating.

Of course, if it were me in my old days, I would have burned this ribbon with just the mana left in my neck.

‘Breath… … .’

There was nothing I could do with the body of an F-class hunter.

I collapsed into the tent, completely tied up.

At this moment, my lungs were being compressed so strongly that soon a ‘pop’ sound was heard from my ribs.

“… … .”

This person watched the situation with a pale complexion.

Then, one of the two people strode into the tent and placed his hand on the floor.

‘A teleportation wizard?’

I was wondering what skill he was using.

This is teleportation.

One day, the jade-colored passageway seen in the kidnapper’s hideout appears on the floor.

I prayed urgently.

This gym is packed to the brim with Earthlings. So if only someone would just walk by at this moment!

‘Ahhhhhh!’

But unfortunately, that didn’t happen.

It was now the beginning of autumn. All the Earthlings who had finished dinner were closing their tents tightly to avoid the cold evening wind.

‘Pay attention to your neighbors, you motherf*ckers!’

Soon, a slight dizziness sets in.

Is it because of the feeling of falling unique to teleportation? Or is it because of suffocation?

Anyway, this was my last memory.

…when I opened my eyes again.

I was trapped in that gray room.

“Phew… … .”

Did you faint for a moment due to lack of oxygen?

I took a slow breath. Luckily, my mouth and nose seemed to have cleared in the meantime.

A few minutes later.

Suddenly, the door in front of me flew open, and a person I had never seen before came in.

“You woke up pretty quickly, huh?”

Bushy hair.

Navy blue daily hanbok.

A dagger held tightly.

No matter what he looks like, if you look at his actions, you can tell what kind of person he is.

‘Are you in the same gang as that execution team?’

The kidnapper showed his face proudly.

I took a deep breath and got straight to the point.

“Why on earth was I taken here?”

First, let me tell you the reason.

“Well, it could be for enlightenment, or it could be for salvation.”

“yes?”

“This is also the will of the Eightfold Path’s Nachalshin. How can we possibly understand all of the thoughts of the Heavenly Being…?”

But wait, this kid’s first words aren’t ordinary.

I listened carefully to the man’s muttering.

It took a long time to explain because I kept repeating myself, but anyway, to summarize, this is what I said.

“In short, you want me to hand over the infinite power core?”

“okay.”

The man in front of me kept mentioning the word “Nachalshin” throughout the conversation, so I immediately knew which organization they were affiliated with.

Nacha Temple.

Those pseudo-terrorists… … !

‘Weren’t you just going around committing terrorism?’

At first I thought he was arrested again for being emotional, but this time it was a crime targeting the boss’s items.

“I searched everything from the relief center tents to the house you lived in, but the item wasn’t anywhere.”

“… .”

“Tell me where you hid the core. Or maybe you already sold it somewhere?”

The figure of the Nachalsa Temple lowers his voice while stroking his beard.

“For your information, that mouth is left open so that you can answer. Don’t make a fuss.”

Knock knock.

He scratched the armrest of the wooden chair I was sitting on with the tip of his dagger.

Well, you don’t have to warn me like this.

‘I knew from the beginning that something was done to this room.’

I turned my gaze and briefly scanned the surroundings. This place was full of traps on all sides.

Besides, Kim Ki-ryeo’s body can’t use magic anyway.

‘Oh my.’

Of course, I have no intention of rebelling either.

‘Euuum, the location of the core.’

When it comes to actually revealing the information, it is also ambiguous.

That core is in Ahn Yoon-seung’s hands right now.

‘Because I had to return the item box to the guild.’

Since the house collapsed here and there was no proper place to store things, I just left all the materials to Iggy.

‘If I say this wrong, won’t Seung-i get caught for no reason?’

I paused for a moment, wondering if I should say this.

I really just hesitated for a moment.

“As expected, it’s not that easy. Well then, let me help you answer.”

But our kidnapper teacher had a bit of a short temper.

-Swish!

Because when I didn’t get the answer I wanted, I immediately put down the knife.

‘No, over there!’

There was no time to make excuses.

His dagger pierced the back of my hand, which was bound to the armrest.

Fortunately, I had modified the pain sensor so I didn’t feel anything special.

‘Heeeeeee.’

To be honest, I was absolutely freaking out about this.

Last time, I was treated as a commodity, but here, if I make a single mistake, I’ll die.

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you tell me from now on. So please don’t do things like this.”

Save the aliens!

I opened my mouth hurriedly. I said I would reveal all the information.

If you’re a righteous person and a fool, and someone is going to die, how could you possibly care about something like that now?

“Can you just tell me where the core is?”

Then the kidnapper immediately stopped threatening me. It seems he was satisfied with my decision.

***

The Earthlings dressed in modified hanbok become quiet for a moment.

He released his hand from the dagger handle he was holding and slowly stepped back.

But this did not stop the threats on their own, as some thought.

It was just a reflex.

As my mind went blank, my body naturally became stiff… … .

“… .”

This can’t be happening.

This can’t be happening. He kept muttering to himself.

At first I thought it was a simple mission.

Because he was an outstanding teacher who was ranked first or second in this temple.

In fact, there were two reasons why they kidnapped Kim Ki-ryeo.

One is the recovery of the infinite power core.

And the other one is to brainwash this hunter and make him a new believer.

‘The great teacher said that we need to fill the number of Class A Awakened people.’

It was something I always did.

The job of a preacher is to use a brainwashing item called [Eyes of Temptation] to turn others into puppets.

About 30 minutes ago from now.

He looked at the unconscious Kim Ki-ryeo through the window and thought to himself:

‘I guess nothing will happen this time either.’

Listening to what the believers say, it was very easy to kidnap them.

The great teacher said that the man’s registered information with the association was different from his actual awakening level, and that he was hiding something, so he should be careful.

His thoughts were a little different.

He had no doubt that brainwashing Kim Ki-ryeo would not be difficult.

Because he has his own special secret.

The brainwashing of a hunter who is presumed to be A-class.

As you can see, the chances of a high-level Awakened being suffering from mental status abnormalities are very low.

Therefore, separate treatment is required.

The hidden secret of the Nachal Temple is… … .

“As expected, it’s not easy to light a fire.”

It’s torture.

“Then let me help you answer.”

Mental shock.

It becomes the lubricant for the brainwashing process.

When the captured Awakened one hesitated to answer, the educator brandished his sword without hesitation.

-Phuk!

A feeling of flesh being pierced.

The pungent smell of iron.

Up to this point, it’s as usual.

‘uh?’

But there was just one thing about this room that was so different from usual.

“…!”

The Awakened One, tied to the frame, finally opened his mouth.

“Okay. I’ll do everything you tell me from now on.”

It’s a flat answer, but that’s what makes it weird.

“So please don’t do things like this.”

That hunter is continuing this sentence with a knife stuck in the back of his hand.

“Can you just tell me where the core is?”

Kim Ki-ryeo’s expression did not change at all in the face of the attack by the Nachalsa Temple.

Just mechanically and smoothly focus on the conversation.

Knock knock.

The hot blood flowing from the back of her hand and the man’s cold expression soon form an incongruous contrast.
