Chapter 562 Monster Hunter
I had reason to assume that there would be no fragments of chaos here.
‘It’s a place where neutral NPCs and real NPCs are mixed. It’s a place that’s strongly influenced by the background world.’
Just like the upper class that I experienced until the 90th floor.
Giant, Purgatory, Spirit, etc.
The world created or destroyed by fragments of chaos was the theme of the 80th floor of 7, so there is no reason to repeat it on the 90th floor.
I was able to come up with one possibility through this basis.
“This place is not a fragment of chaos, it is influenced by the ruler of the 92nd floor.”
where was it I think it was on the 70th floor. The heaven experienced there was similar. Where worshipers were princes. It was a similar feeling there.
If there is one difference, it is that the environment was created by the tower, and it is highly likely that this appearance was created by the will of the ruler.
Perhaps he asked for an environment similar to the world he lived in.
If you become the ruler of one floor, you will be able to make that level of demand.
He licked his chin briefly.
‘Can you bring the image of the world you used to live in?’
I guess there are quite a few people who do this?
NPCs aren’t the only ones who have nostalgia for the destroyed world. Tower worshipers who want to live forever in the tower are also worth targeting.
Being locked up in the tower for a long time would be more comfortable where you’ve lived.
The same goes for climbers.
Why do I want to go out Because I don’t intend to live forever in this damn tower.
No matter how much I got used to the top, I am a modern person. A place where hot water comes out when you open the faucet and the door opens automatically when you go near the door.
He lived in a place where steaks were delivered with just a few taps. Naturally, climbers who have been in the tower for a long time also want the environment of the earth. The term homesickness did not come about for nothing.
However, not all climbers have the same goals.
“Right now, the top hunters who came up with me are staying on the 90th floor.”
As long as they can lead a comfortable life, there are definitely people who don’t mind being in the tower.
Some people are afraid to go out into the world because they are so cut off from society.
I shook my head slightly. If you look at the possibilities, there is nothing you can’t do. It is impossible to calculate and prepare for all of them.
If you can’t see the whole, let’s figure out what you can see.
took a step Unlike the mountain roads, which were completely desolate, this was a place where people could feel the feeling of living.
It wasn’t a street light like the earth, but a gas lamp was on, and a person who seemed to be a manager was diligently turning off the light in the morning.
Farmers who woke up at dawn, ate breakfast, and went outside carrying their own farming tools, and shopkeepers who rode bicycles opened their shops.
I didn’t expect to see a bicycle in the tower.
I wanted to look around a little more, but I was able to look around later. There will be many opportunities.
‘Where should I gather information?’
bar? Or should I look for information.
It feels strangely mixed with the Middle Ages and modern times, so I can’t get my head around it. In a way, it was no different from falling into a world I didn’t know.
Let’s eat rice first. I also had to choose a place to stay.
I told the vigilantes that I was leaving soon, but that was hoped for. I intended to get as much useful information as possible and then leave.
And this place…
“Extra! Extra!”
I felt like I could get a lot of information even if I didn’t go looking for it.
A boy in a bread hat threw paper as he ran through the waking village.
It was a poster folded in half like a newspaper, and on the poor quality paper was an article written on which the ink had not dried properly.
Rumors and rumors that can be talked about in a neighborhood where there is nothing interesting, including affair stories that can be whispered among the people in the neighborhood, and even trivial news such as a calf giving birth to a calf at someone’s ranch, are written in small letters.
Is this a real local newspaper? It seemed like there was nothing to talk about since morning, even though it was an extra.
“This is kind of interesting.”
-Monster of Bant Castle! Blood stains the streets again.
I read the article while casually sitting in a suitable place.
-Two months have passed since the monster of Bant Castle appeared.
– We call him by his name. Corpse Sculptor Caliber. How many body parts he stole!
– Only 8 people have been sacrificed so far. The whereabouts of the gruesome and horrifying murderer were unclear, and even the slightest clue could not be revealed. If you include those who are missing, the number exceeds 15.
-Earl Bant conducted a rigorous search, but there was no particular result…
Maybe it was because the area of the newspaper that could be loaded was small, so it was difficult to summarize it, so the explanation was insufficient, but the rough story was recognizable.
“Is there a murderer out there?”
Including the missing persons, there are about 15 people. That all of this happened in two months.
It is by no means a low frequency. It’s because 2 people disappeared in a week. This is enough to make daily life impossible.
Of course, there are a lot of people, and the chance of me getting hit is low, but that’s just insensitivity to safety. They say that the chance of being struck by lightning is less than 0.001%, but isn’t it 100% if you get hit?
Leaving that aside, the atmosphere itself would be hideous. After waking up, it was no different from the death of people around or in the neighborhood who were found or disappeared.
‘This is the condition.’
I was full of such thoughts. In order to break down the barriers that allow you to move to the next floor, you have to make that achievement. Just like I won Kimuanu’s game.
I think catching this culprit is the keyword here.
There is only one point that can be measured.
‘The body sculptor.’
Eyebrows are frowned upon. There are crazy people everywhere. Why would you steal someone else’s body?
It’s not just taking. After killing it, take a part of the body somewhere.
ears or eyes. Legs or torso. How are you? Which one did you cut your throat off?
At the end of the article, I carefully wrote these expectations.
– Isn’t the corpse sculptor Caliber trying to create his own art?
Half agree.
The money and valuables of the victims were left intact. There were a few cases of robbery, but it turned out to have been stolen by the first finders, so the murderer’s target was either the victim’s body or the act itself.
I don’t know if he’s trying to make something by weaving body parts together, or if he’s taking parts of his body for a specific reason.
This is something you need to know.
I put the newspaper in my pocket and went inside. Entering the Bant Castle is an established fact. Until then, I plan to gather as much information as possible.
Whether it’s a rumor or an eyewitness testimony, whatever.
“I must go there.”
I headed for an inn with a rusty sign inside the market.
* * *
The inn was noisy.
I didn’t know what the schedule would be like, so I decided to stay for about 4 days, and the price was roughly replaced with the herbs I had.
that barter exchange is possible. When I look at this, I feel like I’m in the Middle Ages again.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have calculated it with something like a potion, not with herbs. To me, it was a common item that could be bought in stores, but it seemed to cost quite a bit here.
anyway.
“So, well! Didn’t I see it with my own two eyes?”
“Stop fucking. How can people only hear nonsense when they open their mouths? It is also a disease, a disease.”
“really! I was sleeping last night when a cow started crowing, so when I went out, I found a pale-looking monster sucking the cow’s blood! The blood was sucked out, so only the skin was left.”
“If it’s an animal, why don’t you eat it and suck blood? It won’t work even if the vampire bats flock to it. It’s not even a vampire. Where did they suck the beast? If you suck a person, you suck.”
“her! So you really believe in vampires, don’t you?”
“Because vampires are real!”
“I’d like to see that great mug somewhere.”
It says inn, but as is often the case, the first floor was a restaurant. In this case, it’s like a bar.
There were more snacks than meals.
‘It doesn’t taste very good.’
It smells bad, whether it’s because the seasoning hasn’t been developed that well or it’s not used to make the menu cheaper.
Still, it was seasoned with salt, so it would have been a little better if my nose was numb.
‘I’m not paralyzed?’
As he became a superhuman, his five senses became sharper by leaps and bounds. My eyesight has improved and I can feel the air flow through my skin.
I was able to feel the taste sensitively, and the smell that I was the first to get tired was alive.
Thanks to that, I felt the raw meat scent hidden behind the salty taste.
No complaints though At least, what we ate here was not monster meat, but animal meat.
Rather new. I got the cooking skill in the middle, so it doesn’t matter, but most climbers depend on the shop window for all their food.
Monster meat is like salt water, and it is slowly but surely poisoned, just like people who have drifted away from drinking sea water.
Even if it tastes bad, you won’t be poisoned. You can go out and hunt or rob a ranch if you want.
-He
swallowed the hot soup.
It has a lot of ingredients, so it is worth eating. I rolled my tongue and felt the remaining taste, paying attention to the words of those sitting around me.
“The way I see it, there are vampires in the castle. otherwise it makes no sense? The lord is looking for it with his eyes on, but he hasn’t been caught yet.”
“Hehe, this friend is naive. What vampires are in the city? It’s just people killing people. Don’t you know? What are people most afraid of?”
“Then the monster you saw must be a human. A person with very peculiar tastes.”
“That’s a monster!”
“Do the disease to the fullest.”
Why does this world seem to have some unusual monsters? It’s a world where real monsters roam.
Well, it might be treated similarly to other beasts here.
I’m seeing things that didn’t exist on Earth, so I call them monsters because they’re familiar to them.
On the contrary, those who are not often seen are dismissed as unknown mysteries.
After all, it’s a blood-sucking monster. Just by looking at the description, this is…
‘Isn’t that a chupacabra?’
Isn’t it even among ghost stories? Chupacabra, a monster that sucks the blood of livestock at night.
Surprisingly, it is a world where ghost stories and monsters that existed on Earth are actually appearing and playing the game. After all, this is a completely different world.
There is no guarantee that there will be no such monsters.
‘It’s not on the list of monsters I know.’
It’s a vampire, so its identity was certain as it was registered in the monster dictionary, but it’s not a chupacabra. That doesn’t mean there is no information at all.
“There seemed to be some rumors that I had seen them in South America and America.”
This is not certain either. I also studied the monster dictionary before entering the tower, but no one knew what kind of monsters would appear as we entered the transitional period of destruction.
As I climbed the upper floors, I met several monsters that I didn’t even know existed.
Soup and crusty bread. I was lost in thought as I mumbled over the dish made by stir-frying unknown meat and vegetables.
It is unlikely that the drunken nobleman’s monster and the killer corpse sculptor Caliber in the Bant Castle are the same.
– Kiiik
“I heard the story by chance, but I think I can be of help.”
No one knows how things will go.
I approached the guy who was shaking his beer glass in anger.
I was wary of the appearance of a stranger.
“My name is Evileye, the monster hunter.”
“Oh oh! Monster hunter!”
His face widened at the word monster hunter.
