The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 97

Episode 97. Rumors (2)

Inside a cave filled with damp air.

The sound of water dripping from stalactites in the distant ceiling resonates.

Exactly.

As the water droplets fell again, the creature curled up underneath slowly raised its head.

-Ssurrrrrr… … .

It was a snake that had not yet become a dragon and had black scales all over its body.

The snake flicked its blue tongue, took a breath of the cave air, and soon fell asleep.

“Your sleeping hours are similar to those of humans.”

But what is happening?

In a dark hallway where it seemed like there was no one, Korean suddenly began to flow out.

It was the voice of someone wearing a gray raincoat.

“If only I hadn’t slept for 6 hours, I would have grown faster.”

The monk Su-ye-hui of the temple slowly walked towards the light.

I’ve put in a lot of effort to raise just that one snake.

The first challenge was finding a place to hide the boss.

What I discovered then was a method to eliminate passages in dungeons.

‘I like it here because it’s spacious inside.’

This was originally an E-class gate where an amphibian-like boss appeared.

However, the leader has currently lost his right to be the dungeon’s master and is tied up in a small room here.

“Croak! Croak!”

The day when Imoogi’s growth ends.

Su Ye-hui planned to kill the real boss and open the exit to the city center.

‘Until then, you have to protect him well so he doesn’t die.’

Besides, is that the only thing you have to worry about?

You also have to manage the numerous bosses you bring in to supply food.

Above all, he must survive in this den of monsters himself… … .

“Each!”

Su-Ye-Hwi sprinkled yellow powder over my head again.

It was a stealth item for large monsters that eliminated body odor and sound.

“Cough.”

By the way, will this task be completed on time?

What I promised Congressman Kim was to commit terrorism before next spring.

But while I was preparing for this and that, winter had already begun outside.

The snake has not yet produced the results he desires.

“Hoo hoo hoo.”

Plus, thanks to some evil spirits interfering with his work, he’s now a wanted man.

‘If the association hadn’t suddenly caught up with us, we would have been more prepared. Because of that, we’re running low on food.’

It’s clear.

This time too, he must have come up with some kind of plan.

There’s only one person I’ve ever truly considered a troublemaker.

“Kim Ki-ryeo.”

Su Ye-hui muttered the man’s name and thought for a moment.

Why hasn’t the blond man with his extraordinary abilities become famous until now?

Also, why did he only reveal himself this year, when he was supposed to put his plans into action?

“That’s questionable.”

Interest and disgust.

A surge of emotion erupted in Su Ye-hui’s heart, but the waves quickly subsided.

He always had a firm faith in his heart, which was very effective in maintaining his composure.

“Don’t worry, everyone. I will definitely enlighten this society.”

Su Ye-hui put her hands together as if praying and started the PIXY analyzer she was wearing on her wrist.

And the price that the machine that illuminated the Imoogi soon gave was… … .

[???]

[Rating: ??]

Su-Ye-Hwi checked the panel on her wrist and smiled brightly.

“aha!”

Actually, I didn’t care about the promise I made to Rep. Kim, but it seems that Heaven didn’t want me to turn out to be a liar.

The story returns back to the park.

“To sum up, the situation is not very good.”

We’re in big trouble.

No matter what the power struggles within the religious order are, in the end, the temple will continue to operate according to the brainwashing sorcerer’s insane ideology.

“Yes. I can’t say for sure, but I think there’s a high chance of an accident happening.”

Anyway, nothing good happens when you are reincarnated on Earth.

Aren’t there huge cults being brainwashed by some brainwashing cult?

Of all people, that brainwasher is a crazy person who wants to slaughter Hunters.

‘Will Korea rise?’

I put my hand on my forehead and started to think seriously.

Escaping abroad. It was an idea that had crossed my mind three times already this year.

***

And a day later.

When the TV weather forecaster announces a chilly morning.

I got up from my seat and hurriedly packed my going-out clothes.

“ha.”

First, should I tell you the conclusion that was decided yesterday?

First, Seonwooyeon and I decided to figure out Nachasa Temple’s plan somehow.

How we prepare for large-scale accidents like terrorism changes the units of casualties.

‘Sob sob.’

Of course, even at this moment, I have a burning desire to escape abroad… … .

Due to complicated global rules such as visas and such, we ended up having no choice but to cry and protect Korea.

‘They’re holding a knife to my neck and telling me to be very patriotic.’

But the only consolation I have in all this is that I quite like the new season.

“Oh my.”

Having lived in the cold deep sea, I left home satisfied with the current temperature, which resembled the water temperature of my hometown.

It was the first winter I had experienced since coming to Earth.

But things didn’t work out as well as I thought.

“sorry.”

“What does Seonwooyeon have to be sorry about?”

“Still, I’m sorry… … .”

Seonwooyeon and I completely messed up the plan from the start.

“I didn’t think the higher-ups would even pretend to listen… … .”

The Association and the Police.

When I reported to them that a cult was trying to cause a massive dungeon break, do you know what they said?

-So what?

-whatever?

… came back as a somewhat more polite expression.

The testimony of a single citizen was not enough to move government agencies.

“I think I need to gather more evidence and then report it. The police seem to be willing to come forward if they have evidence.”

“In this situation, if there is evidence… … .”

“Are we looking for the missing snake?”

Besides, there is one more thing that is difficult.

Now I have no choice but to admit it.

The results of the study by the Nachal Temple were truly excellent.

Because the ‘closed gate’ they created was more effective at blocking tracking than you might imagine.

‘By destroying the entrance, the dungeon became a completely independent space!’

In the end, even with Seonwooyeon’s skill and my magic detection, I failed to figure out the coordinates of the Imoogi.

So we ended today’s schedule without getting much of a result.

It will probably be similar tomorrow and the day after.

‘Ugh!’

So what should we do from now on?

Is it really true that we have no choice but to helplessly wait for the incident to happen?

The only card I can use is a single bodyguard. And that guy is the kind of person who would hit me in the back of the head if a dungeon break that he can’t handle occurs.

‘No, if 15 bosses disappear nationwide, it’s a big deal. What are you idiots thinking, doing nothing about it yet!’

The time and place of terrorism. Even the danger of a grown Imoogi.

Everything is uncertain right now. There is literally nothing that can be guaranteed.

‘Ugh.’

So I decided to try to reduce this uncertainty a little bit.

Even though it might be a little ugly, you should struggle until the end so that you won’t regret it later.

***

The next morning.

An unfamiliar visitor appeared at the headquarters of Korea Tower.

The other person was a shabby young man wearing jeans with stretched knees and an old sweatshirt, but somehow he didn’t seem like someone you could easily talk to.

“Oh, welcome. What brings you here?”

The man answered the guide’s question with cold eyes.

“I have an appointment with the CEO here. Do I have to climb the maze again this time?”

There was a hint of worry in his voice.

No matter what, I don’t want to break the elevator on the roof twice.

A little later.

“Oh, Mr. Kiryo! Welcome.”

The top floor of the building we arrived at.

Kim Ki-ryeo bowed his head to Esther’s welcome and sat down.

“I’m sorry for the late text confirmation. I was at the Nonsan gate until late yesterday.”

widely.

There was a dark, hot drink on the table that aliens hated, but it didn’t matter.

Anything he says in the future will be much ruder than this.

“Anyway, why did you suddenly ask me for my time? Huh? What do you think happened to our Kiryeo?”

Kim Ki-ryeo calmed his mind by pretending to drink coffee.

Dealing with a sorcerer is difficult.

Especially since he has never bowed down to others while living as a great wizard.

‘In my hometown, I never bowed my head to anyone except my boss… … .’

but.

Still, he did not give up.

Even if it means I’m going to look bad to the sorcerer, saving my life is the top priority right now.

“I came because I have a favor to ask.”

So what would a lowly F-class have to ask for in order to survive?

He soon expressed his opinion.

“First of all, it’s not forced, so please listen without feeling bad.”

The minimum precautions to take against terrorism at the temple.

“Could you please refrain from attacking the gate for a while?”

As those words flowed, Esther opened her eyes wide.

No, it’s nothing else, it’s telling the hunter to refrain from hunting.

“What… … .”

“To be exact, I hope you don’t enter dungeons that are too long.”

Kim Ki-ryeo immediately puts down his coffee cup.

“I’ll explain why.”

Kim Ki-ryeo immediately revealed the series of events in which a certain brainwashed awakened person was stealing Class A monsters and plotting evil deeds.

Without a single moment of hesitation.

“The missing Imoogi and Saibira… … .”

Then Esther also suppressed her laughter and began to engage in the conversation seriously.

“So that’s why you told me to slow down on the gate raids? Because I wouldn’t be able to contact you if there was a terrorist attack.”

“yes.”

“But for a while? How long will that be…?”

“It’s December.”

“yes?”

“The leader there has been predicting in his speeches that a major natural disaster will occur at the end of this year. I just received the information this morning.”

Let’s see. It’s December.

Even before Dungeon Shock, there were instances of cult leaders trying to fulfill prophecies themselves to prove their power.

Esther nodded with a look of understanding.

“Okay. Then let’s try adjusting our schedule. Okay.”

To be honest, I was thinking about kneeling in front of an S-class. But how could my request come true so easily… …!

“Really?”

I was excited with joy, but soon came to my senses. There were still things to check.

“Oh, and I have something else to tell you.”

“which?”

“Perhaps the temple of Nachal looks down on S-class hunters. The monsters they worked so hard to raise could die at any moment.”

He recalled an incident that occurred last August.

Seon Woo-yeon said that the person who carried out the suicide bombing at that time was also presumed to be a believer of that cult based on a comparison of their physical appearance.

“So, Esther, from now on, you should be careful in your daily life… … .”

But after thinking about it carefully, I somehow didn’t think those cult members would have specifically targeted Jeong Ha-seong.

I asked the question with a hopeful mind.

“Uh… Just in case, have you been involved in any assassination plots or anything recently?”

And the answer that followed was as expected.

“That’s surprising! Well, when did the police contact me? They were chasing some criminal organization and raiding their lower-level bosses, and my name suddenly came up?”

“What’s your name?”

“The police told me to be careful because there was a person with stealth skills who was planning to kill me.”

“ah!”

“That… I think his name was Park, Park or something.”

“If it’s a criminal organization in hiding… huh? Could it be Park Jun-tae?”

Esther clapped her hands in surprise.

“Oh my! That’s right!”

Park Jun-tae.

The illegal, unregistered man was caught using his criminal organization’s gang to investigate Esther’s background.

however.

“But I heard later that he was probably dead before they even arrested him?”

Actually, this side has never seen the opponent.

Without her knowledge, Park Jun-tae had failed to assassinate her twice and was executed by Su Ye-hui in return.

“is it so?”

This was the first time that Kiria had heard this news, but there was no particular reason to be sad.

“Anyway, I hope nothing has happened so far… … .”

The response he was trying to give was dry and indifferent.

“……for a moment.”

But then.

Esther tilted her head as if she sensed something strange.

“But why does Mr. Kiryeo know Park Jun-tae?”

The next question is obvious.

Of course, Kim Ki-ryeo met Park Jun-tae only by a truly absurd coincidence, but the truth of the words is invisible to the eye.

“We met briefly before.”

“why?”

“It’s not a good thing, it’s just that Park Jun-tae came here to kill me… … .”

“And that?”

“hmm?”

“He tried to kill Mr. Kiria! Then what happened after that?”

Kim Ki-ryeo answered Esther’s questions only with the truth.

“As for what happened, nothing happened. At the end, Park Jun-tae suddenly ran away.”

“yes?”

“So I was also curious about what this person had been up to.”

The problem is.

An alien moves its facial muscles uselessly to express its friendliness towards Esther.

Kim Ki-ryeo immediately raised the corners of his lips.

“I really didn’t know you were dead.”

But, if you say something like that with a smile on your face, others will naturally think…
