308. Being different from others is
a rudder!
“Heh heck heck…”
The union employee collapsed on the floor helplessly.
Seeing the building he was trying to enter collapsed right in front of his eyes, it seems that his legs gave out.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Seunghyun Kang activated [Voice of Calm] and helped the fallen employee.
The employee, who had been stunned with a white face, barely came to his senses and opened his mouth.
“I am fine. Thanks to you, I live.”
“thank god.”
“Rather than that, my junior is now…”
“I will check.”
Kang Seung-hyeon calmed the staff down and stepped through the rubble.
[Observation eye]
Let’s look around with blue eyes.
[Collapsed ceiling] [Crushed wall]
[Blood spurts.]
[A subtle smell of blood]
[There is something underneath.]
[Looks like a human corpse. .]
[There seems to be no survivors.]
I found traces of what used to be a low-level employee.
It’s hidden by rubble, so you can’t see it properly, but it will be very disastrous due to the nature of the stampede.
‘Because stampede is one of the terrible deaths.’
Thanks to that, the ankle he had crushed using the [Miracle of Teratoma] earlier became indistinguishable as the victim was crushed by the rubble.
“How have you been?”
“I would have tried my hand at anything if I had only been breathing…”
Kang Seung-hyun shook his head and replied.
He added that he seemed to have died instantly after being crushed by the falling water.
“You stupid bastard… why did you crawl into a place like this…”
Upon hearing that, the union employee covered his face and sighed.
“It’s all my fault. He’s a newcomer, so I should have looked carefully.”
“Don’t beat yourself up. It’s not your fault. It was just an unfortunate accident.”
“…Thank you for saying that.”
‘Actually, you haven’t done anything wrong.’ When Kang Seung-hyun comforted him by patting him on the shoulder, the union employee sighed with a depressed face.
“That bastard…why did he end up stuck in a place like this out of many, many buildings?”
“Isn’t it because it looks the farthest on the outside?”
“The second luck is a foolish bastard.”
Union staff inspected the wreckage of the building.
“I’ll have to do some research first.”
Usually, when this happens, the Adventurers Guild investigates whether it is an accident or a crime caused by skill.
“Looking at it, it seems that it was poorly built because it was built in a hurry, but it was maintained by blessing with the power of God.”
When constructing a base, the fledgling church tends to build a building roughly due to time and cost issues.
First of all, invest all the capital in the temple, fill the rest of the buildings with divine power, endure, and then build new ones one by one as the church grows and there is room.
The Simua Rize Church would have chosen that method as well.
“But with the fall of the church and the disappearance of Simua Rize, the blessings hanging from the building must have disappeared.”
Thanks to this, the building was turned into trash that could collapse even with a ‘slight’ impact.
“Looking at the accommodation building, it looks like it was newly built, but the building on the port side doesn’t seem to be like that.”
“It’s usually repaired from the place closest to the temple.”
So, usually, Adventurers Guild employees do not recklessly enter these empty buildings.
Even if it looks fine on the outside, there is a high probability that it is an abandoned building on the inside.
“It’s cool newbies crawling into places like this. I didn’t expect you to be this stupid.”
“That’s sad. Among the many, many buildings, you have to go into a place like this…”
Kang Seung-hyun muttered as he looked at the building that had collapsed miserably.
‘Well, that’s why I chose this building.’
This was the most unstable building when I looked at it with the [Observing Eye].
It would be suspicious if a perfectly fine building collapsed for no reason, but no one would suspect a building that would not be strange if it collapsed at any time.
“Now we just need to check the remaining horsepower.”
If there is still magic around them, someone uses a skill to cause the accident, so a detailed investigation goes into it.
In the case of Kang Seung-hyun, he used [Ho: Ruth’s Hand] to destroy the building, so when the adventurer’s guild finds traces of it, they will realize that this was not an accident, but a crime.
“How about this?”
“I don’t even feel anything. It’s a simple accident, so it’s natural.”
The union employee shook his head bitterly and replied.
He looked at the scene of the incident using various investigative skills, but could not find any traces.
‘Yeah, that’s right. Because I’m a guy who doesn’t use magic.’
Originally, all skills leave residual traces after activation.
However, unlike other energies, stamina does not stay in one place and quickly dissipates, leaving no trace.
In other words, Kang Seung-hyun is the only being in the Azul continent who does not leave a trace even after using skills.
‘In addition, [No: Ruth’s hand] is not visible before contact.’
In this way, if Kang Seung-hyun’s characteristics and [Ho: Ruth’s Hand] are well combined, a perfect crime is possible.
Being different from others is uncomfortable in one way or another, but it is often an advantage.
‘Well… it doesn’t matter if it’s a normal skill.’
Seunghyun Kang looked at the employee next to him.
“When I go back, I will have to report to the Adventurers Guild. One employee died in the accident.”
“Work has increased. For no good reason.”
“It’s a common thing in Azul Continent.”
He smiled bitterly and opened the report.
Due to the nature of the Adventurers Guild, it is not uncommon for dispatched employees to die, so he seemed calm and familiar.
“I’m going to post a report, but the higher ups won’t care anyway. It’s not even a day or two that a low-level employee dies.”
If the opponent was a famous adventurer or noble, he would have investigated more closely.
However, ordinary employees and low-level adventurers, etc., were consumable items that could be discarded, so they didn’t care as much as the nobles.
‘This was also an accident, no matter who sees it. Even if the mana came out, it would have been finished roughly because of the Church of Simua Rize.’
It’s a perfect ending for a human trying to kill civilians and blame the cult.
‘Well, in this case, even if he was a noble, it wouldn’t have mattered much.’
No matter how hard you investigate, something doesn’t come out, so how can you find out?
It is impossible for even the greatest union staff to dig into this.
‘It’s only better than commoners, but this is a town where even nobles die easily.’
This is why Kang Seung-hyun likes the Azul Continent.
“I think it will be difficult to rectify with the current number of people.”
“I guess so. I have to clear all the rubble…”
“For now, can you just tell the others not to approach the building?”
“I see. There won’t be any need to spread the news of people’s deaths and make them anxious.”
“thank you.”
The union employee lightly bowed his head.
Due to the nature of the stampede, it is better to keep it a secret from the civilians, as the condition of the body must be so horrific.
‘This is the end of the landfill.’
So Kang Seung-hyeon took care of the leaker without being noticed by anyone.
His crime will be buried in darkness, but his body will be buried as well, so there was no big complaint.
‘Shouldn’t that bastard be grateful to me at this point?’
He even buried a crime like garbage and gave me a grave so big that it couldn’t fit the fountain.
‘Honestly, I’ll have to bow out in the underworld.’
In a sense, this may not be an undeserved ending.
Kang Seung-hyun thought this and moved on.
–
“{I’m here.}”
“{Welcome, Mr. Kang!}”
When we returned to the dorm, the goon stuck in the tent stuck out his head.
“{There’s a leaf left over there, so someone draw some leaves on the wall.}” “{
That’s right.}”
Got it!
Kang Seung-hyeon threw a dagger at Alec, who was still engrossed in playing the last leaf, and drove the remaining leaf into the wall.
“{I did it.}”
“{Wow!}”
Kang Seung-hyun listened to Alec’s screams and sat down on the sofa with a relaxed expression.
“{Have you been well? Did something take a long time?}”
“{Because it was a trivial matter.}”
Kang Seung-hyeon explained what had happened at the port.
Except, of course, that he was the culprit in the case.
“{Oh, there was an accident?}”
“{Yes. A building collapsed and one of the union employees died instantly on the spot.}” “
{I’m sorry that the person who came to our aid died.}”
The goon muttered a pity.
He didn’t even know that the reason he died was because of him.
“{Even if he didn’t die instantly, the teacher would have done something.}” “
{Keep it a secret from the other passengers.}”
“{Yes, yes. What are you going to do by spreading the story of a dead person?}” “
{Hyung rather than that.}”
Alec, who was rolling around on the bed while the bully sighed deeply, opened his mouth.
“{Didn’t you say the Adventurer’s Guild supplies came?}”
“{Yes. I’m just on my way back.}” “
{Then bring me some snacks like jelly or honeyed fruit. To say goodbye to the last leaf…}”
As Alec beckoned, Kang Seung-hyun replied with a smile.
“{Where, on the subject of the patient.}”
“{What?}”
“{Snack after small intestine transplant? Stop talking nonsense and eat porridge.}” “
{Hyung, I see you don’t know what to do because you’re young now, but I’m all better.}”
“Everyone, let’s eat snacks! The Adventurers Guild employees gave it away!}”
Even at that timing, Lee Ji-ah came into the room with snacks.
Alec struggled, but Kang Seung-hyun neatly ignored it.
“{Cheolhyun-ah, let’s eat snacks after recovering.}” “
{Isn’t it unfair that I’m the only one starving? In fairness, everyone else starves too. I think that’s right.}”
“{Not right! The idea is evil!}”
“{So what did you get earlier?}”
Lee Ji-ah, who had forgotten a snack, pointed to Kang Seung-hyun’s wooden box.
“{This one? It’s not that great.}”
Kang Seung-hyun opened the wooden box.
Inside was a stick in the form of a stick and three or four old books.
