Chapter 580 Securing the Workers
Fortunately, Odrick and his men were unharmed.
Well, once the body was fine.
“Come in quickly!”
Ajit didn’t seem to be fine.
Under the sewer cover, Odric beckons to come in quickly.
Did you decide to become a resistance? Even if I pretended, I didn’t want to go to a dirty place.
“Okay, so look away. Why are you so big?”
The entrance to the sewer isn’t that big, so you can’t get in unless Odrick gets out of the way.
Frelda didn’t hide it and wrinkled her face, but what could she do? As you live, sewage goes in and that’s it.
Upon entering without complaining, Frelda enters with a disapproving expression.
A stench that rises as soon as you enter. Is this why you wear a gas mask when cleaning the sewer? I’ve heard that you can go in without any equipment and die from poisonous fumes.
‘Seeing that the poison resistance skill is also quiet, I don’t think it’s that much.’
After all, if that was the case, Odric’s group wouldn’t have been hiding here.
It was dirty at first, but as we went inside, the dirt and trash on the floor decreased.
Fresh air comes in in the middle of the ventilation fan installed somewhere. Every time my nose was pierced, I felt the stench again.
“Even if you choose, why are you hiding in a place like this?”
“It’s all about living.”
Climbing the upper floors, they had resistance experience and stayed in underground facilities, but they also did not make a base in the sewers well.
Because there is no advantage other than that it doesn’t look good. What do you do if you hide well? Even if you go out, you will know what you are doing with the stench.
It is also comfortable to hold. If you just block both sides of the drain and keep pouring water, it will crawl out on its own. If you hold out, you will drown and die.
Even if it’s not that, when it rains a lot, it becomes a mess.
It hasn’t rained that much lately, but what if it rains even once?
‘Isn’t it drowning in shit?’
Just imagining it is terrifying.
Anyway, the fact that I came to such a poor place means that things are not so good.
If it was simply an ambiguous place to live, I would have gone to the slums. It’s dirty there too, but it’s not like this.
In conclusion, there was a reason to hide the body.
“Looks like they’re starting to target you.”
“That’s right, you knew our faces before. There were no problems though. Because the rule is not to attack during the day. It is still the same today.”
Odric wrinkles his nose and clenches his fist.
“He was very openly waiting until night. Dogs!”
“I guess it wasn’t to that extent before?”
“We and those guys know everything. They killed and killed each other, but to some extent kept the line. If you really fight to the death, both sides will only lose money.”
He muttered something and continued his steps.
There is a reason Odrick has settled in the black market. A black market is a place where relatively legitimate businesses are concentrated. It’s hard to play a game there.
Monster hunters, vampires, and others are active, avoiding the eyes of the general public. Due to the nature of the black market, which is more active at night, there are too many eyes to see. There are many people who act unexpectedly.
So, it was an unspoken rule not to fight inside the black market in moderation.
But when things went bad, it broke.
It may be natural. It’s me and Odrick’s group that started this situation. You must have suffered quite a bit while I was gone.
I’m a little sorry
“It’s here.”
The place where we arrived along the complicated inner waterway was at least a place where light came in, albeit a little, because there was a manhole on the ground nearby.
I couldn’t use cooking utensils that smelled and smoked because I couldn’t find out the location, and it seemed that I was eating with long-term preservation food that I brought from outside.
Of course, there were no beds, and the floor was covered with thick blankets, but the environment was humid, so it smelled damp and stuffy.
There are many people who are scratching themselves to see if there are insects.
“Is it worth living inside?”
“It is worth living. At least I got a place in a decent place, but there’s a business upstairs for these guys to work for? These bastards keep throwing filth down the sewer!”
Oh, I see.
Those are the bad guys.
Just in time for a while, the sun goes down.
good. Decided. I feel sorry for Kim. revenge on them
“Let’s go find a new house.”
The ceiling is low enough that you can reach it with your outstretched hand.
I quietly touched all over the ceiling.
-Uuuuuuu
[Time Bomb (S) Lv.MAX]
Countless explosion magic circles were engraved on the ceiling.
“This this. no. you?”
The guy who stutters while looking at the red glowing magic circle.
Come to think of it, I’ve never used a skill in front of this guy.
The NPC Freldah said yes, but it wasn’t Odric.
“A traitor? No, then you can’t be a knight. Did you get bitten after being appointed?”
“Bite?”
“Because among those hunters there are often mixed races or race traitors.”
I didn’t know that.
I understand now. The vampire who came from here and caught them was talking about being a traitor or something of a great person.
Only monsters like vampires use superpowers here. You might think so.
“Let’s say something similar. Let’s go out for now.”
Unless you want to be buried here and nowhere else.
* * *
I often think about that while climbing the tower.
There are over 50 skills due to coincidences and relationships, but there are still necessary skills.
Like Silas, for example.
“You madman! If you explode like this, what’s the use of sound insulation artifacts!”
“I didn’t know that either. That’s bad construction. Is it made of clay?”
Vampires or monster hunters, or rampaging in the sun, have a lot of pressure, so when they do something, they use a skill or artifact that blocks sound or space.
I did install an artifact that blocks the sound this time, too.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“The building is collapsing!”
“It’s a gas explosion!”
It must have been that there were too many time bombs planted in the sewers.
It was a little unfair, but I worked while adjusting it in moderation. The time bomb is also a skill that has reached the maximum level of S-class, and with that level of power, it can explode even high-level monsters.
building? just breaking it down Still, it was installed in an underground waterway, and I thought it would be sturdy because the building is three stories high, which is rare in the area.
‘How come this neighborhood has poor construction?’
It was weaker than expected.
It was worth seeing the collapse, but the range was so large that the sound insulation was useless.
People who hear the commotion and run away run dizzy through the streets. Of course, there was no damage to the general public.
Before the explosion, Odric’s group went inside and shouted for evacuation, saying there was a gas leak.
Of course, there weren’t many people who would listen to someone saying that, but if you shout with a knife, your persuasive power goes up.
As for the guys in the store, I took out the guys I needed to go inside and take out the vampires, and then exploded while holding the vampires.
In fact, it was no different from self-destruction, but it wasn’t like that once or twice. There’s no such thing as too much damage.
If there is one thing you regret.
“I really didn’t know it would be annihilated like this. I was just trying to test it out.”
“There will be another opportunity.”
The guys inside were insignificant, so there was no time for Frelda to step out.
The original plan was to catch the vampire that Frelda escaped while I emerged from the wreckage.
High-level vampires can transform into fog or bugs, so they can escape even if the building collapses.
Looking at it like this, I could see that there was no income.
“not bad.”
There were items brought from the store, so it wasn’t too bad.
I brought a bundle of letters from above. Roughly speaking, the current competition between Shinepa and Zahal has intensified, and the lord warned that he would actively intervene, so he was gathering all his forces in case of an emergency.
Most of the guys in the store now are semi-vampires or mediocre guys in the lower ranks.
Even if you catch these guys for a hundred days, you won’t be hit.
Just to keep it to secure funds. If there is one more purpose there.
“I’m using the store as a source of information. They’re after Caliber.”
That they are using it as a hotline with the slaughter party they have planted to find the corpse sculptor.
It meant that they were moving in earnest, which meant that Shinefah and Jahal had signed a peace agreement for a while.
As evidence, there were letters from two factions that were no different from enemies.
‘It’s strange that I haven’t been able to find it yet.’
bounty hunter. watch. special lease. The slaughter of vampires.
Besides, I was also chasing the corpse sculptor, but I still can’t find a trace.
could this make sense It’s not particularly sacrificing. Because he is still committing a crime.
I tried to combine the situations that came out so far.
As if he knows, he targets when the target of the crime is alone.
Looking at this alone, it seems like he knows there is someone around, but there is only one survivor.
In other words, he has no detection ability. Because he was a normal person and nothing else.
It is unlikely that there will be any helpers. I don’t know about it, but at this level, it’s normal to have a helper caught.
In a word, it means that it has the ability to appear and disappear suddenly.
It may be a simple transformation. It’s possible that he approached after transforming into a mist or some other small animal.
if that’s not the case.
‘Is it similar to Miya’s ability?’
space leap. The ability to appear without any sign.
Might use it similar to Blink.
There was just one thing that bothered me.
‘I didn’t kill Miya. No, I let go at all.’
It is said that there was that much interest, but why doesn’t it reveal itself now? It’s been a while since Miya and I came here.
My head is complicated, but what I have to do is decided.
“Let’s go, Odric.”
“Where?”
“I told you. I’ll save you a house.”
“Was it real? I thought it was a joke.”
“Just follow me.”
It’s not a waste to buy a house for my best partner, Odrick.
because.
“Odric, do you usually sleep during the day?”
“Anyway, work is work, so it’s like that. why?”
“Working at night won’t be difficult. The body is also strong.”
“Why are you doing that again? anxious.”
There is nothing to worry about. I just want some help.
The characters that got hit by the corpse sculptor while I was at the Vega party. Even those who have been attacked before.
On the surface, they have nothing in common. age, sex and human relationships.
But if you mark the point where the incident happened.
‘He’s on the move.’
The beginning is a middle-class residence located on the road to Naeseong. If you follow the location of the crime that took place after that.
‘It’s gradually moving towards the outskirts.’
The most recent crime was a factory located above the slums.
If you go with this flow, this is where it’s most likely to appear next. black market.
A space where illegal and legal are intertwined. Due to the nature of customers who secretly visit other places to enjoy, it was far from the center.
As noisy and dangerous as it is, slums do not live near it. This means that there is no living space.
The only thing there is is a guest bedroom in the business.
Then what will the rest of us do?
‘A rickshaw moving at night.’
Wagons are expensive, so rickshaws are used. It’s also less noisy that way.
Recently, the number of people driving rickshaws has decreased, and there is even a separate waiting room.
if me
‘Aim for people who use rickshaws.’
Tuk-tuk. He tapped Odric and his men on the shoulder.
Fortunately, there are great rickshaw drivers.
