Cursed object (3)
Sang-woo felt that the sound resonating in No. 1’s head was very loud.
Moreover, the language was not Korean at all, but it was strangely understandable.
‘Is it a curse? He only speaks terribly strange things.’
Sang-woo ordered No. 1 to let go of the sword.
Then the hallucinations disappeared in an instant.
When I put it in my hand again, I heard the auditory hallucination again.
‘What Ego Sword? artifact? is it the same no. Rather, it looks like a cursed item.’
However, apart from being noisy, it didn’t seem to harm Sang-woo in any way.
Instead, as the number 1 sense shared with the Familiar skill increased, the sound of the heart pounding increased, and I felt that my senses were heightened and clearer.
It seemed to be a magic item with some kind of awakening effect.
If I had to point out the downside, the meaning of the sound was eerie and it gave me a creepy feeling.
‘Oh yea. If it is enchanted or has a special ability, it must be very expensive. I have to take care of it and sell it through my agent. 1 Hoya, return to the motel. let’s go home And run.’
Sang-woo made No. 1 take a rusty sword and made him come out through the portal.
It was Sang-woo who didn’t bother to walk slowly and made him run back.
‘I have to train whenever I can and raise my abilities.’
Familiar skills didn’t have to end in order to level up.
Number 1 tried to pass through the search team after a simple inspection at the guard post as usual.
However, a problem arose.
The beep-
alarm sounded.
‘What is it?’
It shouldn’t be a problem because he had been given duplicate entry permission before.
In addition to the identification bracelet, the access procedure was also possible with a resident registration number and fingerprint scan.
Sang-woo thought that there was a problem with the sword he had picked up.
‘Is it because of the sword?’
The probe is not a device for detecting metal objects.
As a device that detects artificial mana movements or life reactions, it was used to identify risk factors that could come over from the portal.
Sang-woo, not expecting any problems at the security guard, was taken aback.
“Could you come out here for a moment?”
First of all, according to the instructions of the soldier in charge of the inspection, Sang-woo moved No. 1 and parked it next to the search team.
“Could you tell me your name?”
“I’m Jeong Sang-woo, an F-class hunter.”
Soldiers checking the entry and exit list according to No. 1’s answer.
In the meantime, the inspection soldier ordered to remove the equipment from No. 1’s body.
“Please put the equipment you are wearing in a storage box next to you.”
“yes.”
“Please re-enter the exploration team.”
When No. 1 passed through the search unit again, no alarm sounded this time.
“Is this the equipment you obtained from beyond the portal?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“There seems to be something wrong with the equipment. Please wait a moment.”
It was when No. 1 was waiting for a while following the soldier’s instructions.
The sergeant who was checking the list suddenly shouted at the corporal next to him.
“what! Why is the F-class Hunter Jeong Sang-woo’s entry and exit record number 2!”
“It can’t be. It looks like they have the same name.”
“The time is stamped here every two hours. Look, they both have the same date of birth, 20021213.”
“uh…? Isn’t it a computer error?”
“Uh~? Look what this answers! Corporal Kim! Don’t get your mind right! Did you eat your spare time with an asshole?”
Sang-woo, who was listening to the commotion through No. 1 next to him, was dumbfounded.
‘Eh? I applied for duplicate entry permission. what.’
It was probably a rare privilege, and since Sang-woo had only received temporary approval, it seemed that the data was in a difficult state to check at the small guardhouse.
It was when Sang-woo was flustered.
“… This is Sergeant Lee Pil-hwan at Guard Post No. 33. I found a behemoth.”
The noncommissioned officer, who had been fussing for a corporal for a while, reported something on the radio and approached No. 1.
“Hunter Jeong Sang-woo? I need to do some research. Please accompany me.”
“… Actually, I applied for duplicate entry permission. If you inquire with the association, they will come out right away.”
“Duplicate access rights? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
It seems that there was a mistake in the verification process because no one applied for this permission.
Sang-woo reluctantly decided to cooperate.
“yes. All right. But what about my gear?”
“I will return it if there is no problem after a simple check. Then follow me.”
“Yes…”
Sang-woo, who was about to follow him to the security guard building, suddenly became worried about the sword.
“But here it is. That sword is kind of weird. I think I am cursed.”
“Curse? I will refer to it.”
However, the noncommissioned officer stopped listening and took No. 1 to the guardhouse building.
Number 1 entered the guard building next door.
The noncommissioned officer sat No. 1 on a chair in front of the desk and reported to a higher unit to request identification and confirmation of any errors in computer processing.
After that, the sergeant briefly began interrogation.
It was not an oppressive atmosphere.
“Are you Jeong Sang-woo, an F-class hunter?
“yes that’s right.”
“I am Sergeant Pilhwan Lee of the 17th Division Guard Company. When I checked, there were two entry and exit records in the name of F-rank Hunter Jeong Sang-woo. If you look here, there is a record of entry at around 16:05 and 17:38.”
“yes. That’s actually because I’m a clone magician skill user, so I can enter and exit as an alter ego. So, I applied for duplicate access to the association and got temporary approval. If you record the history, it will come out right away.”
No. 1 No, Sang-woo answered clearly.
“Is it self-immolation?”
“yes. So I can move by making a body identical to mine. That’s why the alter ego entered twice and the entry and exit records were left twice.”
Sergeant Lee Pil-hwan is unreliable.
However, after the cataclysm, there was an outpouring of supernatural powers in the world, so it was impossible not to believe it.
“…then can you show off your clone magic skills now?”
“It has a cooldown, so I can’t use it right now.”
When I told him that I couldn’t use clone magic right now, Lee Pil-hwan suddenly gave me a suspicious look.
Sang-woo felt frustrated because he felt more suspicious.
“All right. It could be a computer error, so we are currently requesting computer log checks and CCTV checks. However, it is difficult to confirm because there is no person in charge right now in the early morning hours. You will have to wait.”
Sergeant Lee Pil-hwan speaks calmly.
‘It’s a waste of your time, mistress.’
He could have just reverse-summoned No. 1, but Sang-woo didn’t do that because he thought it would complicate the matter.
Sang-woo decided to just wait and ordered No. 1 to respond appropriately to the questions around him, then unlocked his familiar skills.

When he returned, he saw the motel ceiling.
The time reflected on the electronic clock in the motel is [04:41].
At that time, I suddenly thought of Kang Jun-mo’s agent.
A very competent agent, he seemed to have a solution.
So Sang-woo was a nuisance because it was early in the morning, but he called Jun-mo Kang.
After a while the signal flows.
Kang Jun-mo with a sleepy voice answered the phone.
“hello. Agent. I am Jeong Sang-woo.”
– Yes Hunter. Did the bipedal fish hunt go well?
Kang Jun-mo seems to have fallen asleep after taking No. 2 to Sang-woo’s house after hunting.
Sang-woo explained everything.
“… yes. The hunt ended well. But I’ve run into some problems.”
-yes? problem?
“I’m at the security guard right now, maybe there’s a problem with the overlapping access rights.”
-Oops… It looks like there’s a problem with the provisional approval. All right. I’ll go right now!
Kang Joon-mo, who woke up in the middle of the night, was surprised to hear that Sang-woo was currently detained at the guard post, and said he would come running right away.
After ending the phone call, Sang-woo closed his eyes for a moment.
I looked at my watch again [5:10].
About 30 minutes had passed.
‘right. I’ll have to tell the guard in advance that the agent is coming.’
Sang-woo cast the Familiar skill on No. 1 again to tell Sergeant Lee Pil-hwan that an agent was coming.
◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎
Then the inside of the guardhouse comes to mind.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“… STOP!”
However, I couldn’t see where Sergeant Lee Pil-hwan had gone, and it was noisy outside.
‘what?’
Sang-woo moved No. 1 and made it go outside the guardhouse.
Then, a portal checkpoint appeared in front of me.
There was a mess there.
A certain soldier was holding a sword and swinging it frantically in all directions.
‘What what!’
The soldier seemed to be beside himself with his eyes red and bloodshot.
And one soldier was already lying on the floor with blood on his chest.
“Corporal Kim is crazy!”
“leg! Shoot me in the leg!”
Do-do-do-do!
Gunfire sounded like it would tear your ears.
Corporal Kim soon received several bullets in the leg.
He lost control of his lower body and collapsed on the spot.
However, even in that state, he tried to attack while crawling with only his upper body strength.
The target was Unit 1, which was just coming out of the guardhouse building.
No. 1 or Sang-woo, who had just come out of the guardhouse, was unaware of the situation and was frightened when a bloody, crippled, zombie-like soldier tried to attack him.
‘What what! damage!’
Fortunately, No. 1, which received the order, easily got out of the attack range.
After a bit of distance, Sang-woo started to notice the situation.
‘Could I have gone mad because of that sword?’
A rusty sword in the hand of a soldier named Corporal Kim.
Sang-woo had heard of the sword through #1, so he knew how strange it was.
‘If I was cursed because of that sword…’
Since the medium was a sword, I would only have to remove the sword.
While Sang-woo was making his decision, the soldiers around him were arguing noisily about whether they should shoot Corporal Kim, who had gone insane, or subdue him.
“Uuuuu-here we come!”
“Keep your distance! Called for support!”
“Sir, do you just shoot and kill?”
The sergeant did not make the decision easily.
Because a person’s life and death will come and go at his command.
And then.
Unit 1 jumped towards Corporal Kim.
Hearing the sound of running, Corporal Kim moved his upper body and swung his rusty sword at No. 1.
The trail of the sword flying low toward the calf.
No. 1 jumped up dangerously but calmly and passed Corporal Kim’s back.
Then he immediately attacked Corporal Kim from above and grabbed Corporal Kim’s right arm.
“Great!”
Corporal Kim struggles and screams.
Whether it was because No. 1’s strength was weak or because Corporal Kim was strong, No. 1’s entire body shook even though he was holding onto one arm and clinging to it with his entire body.
Sang-woo ordered No. 1 to ask for help.
“what are you doing! Don’t just watch, help!”
Then, the restless soldiers rushed at them.
Each of the soldiers struggled to hold on to Corporal Kim’s limbs, torso and head.
When he was barely able to stop Corporal Kim’s movements, a soldier tried to remove the rusty sword from Corporal Kim’s hand.
“No! Don’t touch that sword!”
Sang-woo freaked out and moved No. 1 to stop the soldier.
‘If this sword is cursed, it is very dangerous for ordinary people to touch it.’
Then, with No. 1’s hand, he barely removed the sword from Corporal Kim’s hand.
A response soon followed.
Corporal Kim passed out while biting into crab foam.
“Is it over?”
Still uneasy, the soldiers, who had been holding onto Corporal Kim for several minutes after that, finally let go.
“This sergeant! Corporal Kim passed out!”
“Tie that bastard up!”
“yes!”
“And quickly contact the medical team and escort Byeongsik! No, you don’t know first aid, you bastards!”
Sergeant Lee Pil-hwan led the soldiers, bound and restrained Corporal Kim, gave first aid to the injured, and moved them.
When the fuss subsided, Sergeant Lee Pil-hwan approached No. 1, or Sang-woo, who was staring at it blankly out of exhaustion.
“Thank you for your help.”
“no. Of course I have to help. But what happened?”
“I don’t know exactly because something suddenly happened while I was talking to Hunter.”
“Somehow, this sword from the dungeon seems to be the problem.”
“… are you cursed?”
“… well. Rather, I want to take a break now. When can I go home?”
“Not yet. You can go after the investigation is over.”
It was Sgt. Lee Pil-hwan, who was very resolute with a clear distinction between construction and construction.
He told Sang-woo to go inside the building because he would finish his work.
‘The pumpkin is coming. It’s annoying. If it wasn’t for getting the sword, I’d just reverse summon No. 1 and rest.’
Fatigue was extreme because he was constantly using his familiar skills.
It felt like I would get motion sickness after playing 3D games for a long time.
First of all, it was still early in the morning and the air was chilly, so Sang-woo let No. 1 rest inside the guardhouse.
Sang-woo, who was absent-minded, was killing time by ordering No. 2, who was resting comfortably at home (?), to exercise simply because there was no separate order.
The guardhouse door burst open.
“Hunter!”
