Side Story Episode 16:
How have you adjusted to returning to Earth?
I was having a fairly peaceful day.
After clearing the gate, I go out and engage in cultural activities.
What can I say?
“I feel like I have my daily life back.”
“Yes.”
Because I became a hunter, I can’t live the same life as when I was in school, but that’s okay.
As you live, it is natural for your life to change depending on the situation.
Even before the cataclysm, it must have been different when I lived as a student and as a newbie in society.
I spent some time at a cafe and read a book for the first time in a while.
It reminded me of old times, so I went to a PC room once.
Although I did get kicked out for breaking a few keyboards.
Surprisingly, Deokchun is satisfied.
“Chop! Slurp!”
I used to cook for him when I was at the tower, and the food served in the restaurant seems to have its own flavor.
When I look at it, I think the food I made tastes better. Although the variety itself is lacking.
anyway.
“I also made a lot of obelisks.”
A month since returning.
There are three obelisks installed.
In addition, 6 pieces of recovered mirror fragments were collected.
Occasionally, I could see an NPC I had formed a relationship with in the tower, but it was fleeting.
All you can see is about 2 seconds at most.
If we collect them all, will we be able to see them properly?
I feel sorry for no reason.
Lilka seems to be looking forward to it too.
Among those who climbed together, Kilderes remained at the tower, while Feline was expelled from the tower.
– Ssuk suk.
“Huh?”
“just. “I want to pet you.”
“Hehe. “I am finally realizing and praising the greatness of this body!”
Seeing Lilka smiling and making an arrogant expression made me want to cancel what I just thought and hit the night.
okay. This guy has lived a long time, so he won’t go mental because of longing.
Please hold on just a little longer.
The moment you put all the pieces together.
‘I’m going to see it with Lilka and the members.’
While I was continuing my thoughts, I heard a conversation between the hair loss man and the licker.
“Did you hear? “It looks like there was some smuggling between some behind-the-scenes organizations in the triangle?”
“Wasn’t that a quiet neighborhood?”
Fighting in back alleys is a common occurrence, but this time the scale was quite large.
Especially.
“It looks like Hunter was also involved.”
Not even ordinary people, but awakened people.
The damage is considerable.
It is not for nothing that each country punishes awakened criminals harshly.
‘Right away, Oh Ji-hyuk also established a hunter association and forced all awakened people to register for a license.’
Even if you are a low-level hunter, you are king in the neighborhood alleys.
It is easier to make a living doing illegal work than to risk going out through the gate.
For that reason, there were quite a few unregistered hunters, and they used force to catch them all and register them.
Of course, that doesn’t make criminals disappear.
There are quite a few people who are half-employed in an organization and act as troubleshooters or mercenaries.
Even if an accident occurs, the government tends to turn a blind eye.
They implicitly didn’t care what each organization did as long as it didn’t cause harm to the general public, but this time they crossed the line.
“What about tracking?”
“Everyone who needs to be caught has already been caught. Umm. “How is it that there is no such thing as a normal child?”
Nyangpun, who was fiddling with her tablet, gathers her brows.
I took a quick look and found that there were several arrested gang members, but none of them were awakened.
All awakened people die.
You might think it was that intense, but neither I nor the members thought that way.
“A real hunter has stepped forward.”
“And then he disappeared. “Here’s an estimate.”
It is true that there was a struggle between organizations.
It is also true that the awakened people came forward.
However, the fight did not end between them, but another awakened person intervened.
An awakened person so powerful that others could not do anything about it and were annihilated.
Otherwise, it makes no sense that all the awakened people who participated in the war died.
“I think the investigation into the case will be over because the testimonies of the general gang members are consistent.”
Those who were actually in the fight stated that they were wiped out while fighting among themselves.
In extremely rare cases, what they say may be true.
Although I think differently.
There are two possible options.
one.
The culprit who killed the awakened people is an assassin, so there are no witnesses.
two.
All of the surviving members of the organization are liaisons planted by the criminal.
I couldn’t tell which was the correct answer, but one thing was certain.
“I need to catch this.”
He is a dangerous guy to leave alone.
Whether it’s an assassination group or a resourceful person who can influence each organization.
They did something like this in Seoul, not anywhere else?
It was enough to say that the liver came out of the stomach.
however.
“Twins?”
The organization that participated in this dispute caught my eye.
This is an organization affiliated with the Sacred Sect.
-Tiriring.
just as expected.
I received a call from an unknown number.
-This is Evil Eye Park Yong-seok.
Park Yong-seok’s voice.
“I saw the news. “What does this do?”
-I will speak briefly because the situation is not good. Gu Hwang’s mother is doing something by pouring all her money into it. Even foreign mercenaries were brought into Korea.
Foreign mercenaries? Old mother?
Was this guy behind this incident?
-I was trying to destroy the two organizations taken by the old emperor, but there were stronger people than expected. I’m being chased.
“where are you?”
-Maybe this phone will be tracked too. I’m not really worried, but be careful. There was also a guy who didn’t seem to be human.
-Taang!
With those words, Park Yong-seok’s phone call was hung up.
Noise heard throughout the phone call and noise made when moving diligently.
At the end, gunshots were heard.
“Everyone, let’s move. “Park Yong-seok is being chased.”
“If it was Park Yong-seok, then what? “How do you know his number?”
“We met each other during the festival. “He’s on our side.”
Tuk-tuk. As soon as I tap on the union belt, I understand immediately.
Even if other people don’t know, people in the alliance can trust it.
These days, it seems like the number of impersonators and fashion union people has increased, but Park Yong-seok is the real deal.
-Weeeeing.
The moment I was about to leave, the hunter watch rang.
Bad things come all at once.
“Oh. “High-level gate occurred.”
“The nuclear power plant exploded! “A request for cooperation has been received.”
“Ophelia? Why all of a sudden?”
At the same time, the phone rang.
Was someone targeting it?
no. Even if it is a nuclear power plant, the gate occurrence and Ophelia’s contact cannot be manipulated.
All big things.
Now that the festival is over, there are not many high-ranking hunters left in Seoul.
Countries where security was weakened during the festival requested dispatch, and many people left.
‘It’s a coincidence, but it’s terrible.’
Things got messy.
From what I have experienced so far, there is a high possibility that something worse will happen if things go wrong.
“Let’s not leave everything out. “If we all leave, we won’t be able to handle additional problems if they arise.”
“okay. “I go to the gate.”
“Ugh. I hate nuclear power plants. I’ll be there. “That’s fast.”
Nyangpun headed to the nuclear power plant to clear the gate.
“I am?”
“I have to protect the house. “I will contact Ophelia as I go.”
“Even without me, Oh Ji-hyuk is there and there are many other kids.”
From a common sense point of view, this is correct.
I think so too.
It’s just a hunch.
“I thought something more would happen. “Call Lilka too if you need it.”
Because we weren’t the only ones who went up to the 99th floor.
With those words, I threw myself out of the hideout.
I don’t know where Park Yong-seok is.
But I remember his soul and wavelength.
“seoul. “At least within the metropolitan area.”
Park Yong-seok will also be involved in this conflict, so he will not go down to the province out of nowhere.
-Coooooo!
soared into the sky.
And so on until people start to look small.
[The SSS level power, Eye that Watches the Stars, is unleashed!]
Power. At the same time, I looked into the spirit world.
As people gather together, emotions and symbols of all colors are shaken.
Just looking at it gave me a headache, but I persevered and flew.
There is no need to see the downtown area.
I heard a gunshot on the phone, so I’m guessing I’m in a remote or insecure area.
“I wonder if I can find it today.”
If I had known this would happen, I would have installed a location tracker.
The moment I click my tongue briefly.
[The luck stat is flashing!]
The luck stat responded.
A line made of light that arises along with it.
I immediately turned to where the line continued.
I think I will be able to reach my destination faster than planned.
I took advantage of the moment I had to contact Ophelia.
“Oh Ophelia. What’s going on?”
-I found a fragment of chaos in Lebanon.
“If this guy is hard to catch, tell me. “I’ll finish what I’m doing now and go help you right away.”
I already had to catch the fragments of chaos.
It’s because it’s difficult to find in person.
Ophelia, who wanders around remote areas, would know where they are hiding better than me.
-no. I caught the fragments of chaos I encountered. Instead, I heard a strange sound.
Sounds weird?
What day is today?
I feel like things keep happening.
-I think one of the pieces of chaos is working with people. It’s still a guess, though. I will find out more and let you know.
After finishing contact with Ophelia, I wrinkled my face.
“What is that guy that moves with people?”
Was there one like that among the fragments of chaos you’ve encountered so far?
I met a similar guy. 91st floor. A place with rules like a mafia game.
The ruler of the place, Kimuanu of transformation and games, mingled with the people.
Mulan Cassen also hid her past self from people.
Although each case is a little different, it is entirely possible.
Since they act according to their own concepts, their interests may have aligned.
It wasn’t a good situation either way.
* * *
Argentina.
It is one of two countries remaining in South America, along with Brazil, which absorbed Peru.
It has always been dangerous due to the absolute lack of hunters, but recently it has been evaluated as a place worth living in.
There was aid from the United States, which was considered to have the most civilization left, and an unusual situation unfolded where local gangs turned into vigilantes to protect the country.
Of course, it was difficult to maintain the country with that alone.
“I brought you what the sexy guy said.”
“Oh thank you.”
In recent years, high-ranking hunters have returned, and some of them have been deployed overseas.
Same goes for Argentina.
The superhuman who came from a strange group that confidently called themselves the Pejing Union was stronger than anyone could have imagined.
Sexy Guy, a top tier hunter who volunteered to come to Argentina, was one of them.
“Hehe. As expected, I like it here. “You can take it off as you please.”
The sexy guy who drank the mojito smiles with satisfaction.
“Sexy guys usually don’t take their pants off.”
“You’re wearing panties!”
“Please God, please burn this damn thing in hellfire.”
“No, I understand even if it’s in Spanish.”
“This was rude. From next time, I will do it internally.”
Although the deployment was based on illusions about South America and the misconception that it was okay to dress casually, I was satisfied anyway.
Sexy Guy’s guide and secretary, Ines Silberberg, was just a pain in the ass.
Still, it didn’t stop him.
Top tier hunters who have been deployed overseas are valuable talents.
Small personal tastes were no problem.
The government also hoped that Sexy Guy would raise a family here and live there for the rest of his life.
A moment when everyone except the secretary is happy and taking a leisurely sip of the mojito.
-Paaah!
Sexy Guy grabbed the secretary and threw himself.
-Quaaaaaang!
A heavy sound echoes with it.
Sexy Guy blocked the fragments with his body and immediately used the artifact.
Sexy Guy, who pushed Inez behind the curtain, frowns.
“really. “It comes to me when I forget.”
Uruguay and Paraguay. There were also periodic terrorist attacks from other fallen countries.
It was clear that the anti-tank missile they had just fired was also theirs.
At least until you see the being in front of you.
They were the same as usual, wearing random clothes and armed with guns, but there was only one person who was different.
“For world balance!”
The chaos that lingers in the air.
A presence that emits terrifyingly powerful waves.
‘Fragments of Chaos!’
Sexy Guy, who recognizes the unforgettable being, hands over the scroll to Inez.
“Run away right away. Request support. If it’s Evileye, he’ll come. “Hair loss brother is also good.”
“All right.”
“Isn’t it okay to hesitate or worry a little bit?”
“How can it be of any help to me as an ordinary person? “Okay then.”
-Paaah!
Sexy Guy muttered as he watched Ines tearing up the scroll without hesitation and disappearing.
“Hehe. Cool judgment. “It’s so cool. I’ll fall in love with it.”
Revolutionary and drunk Bekera rushed towards such a sexy guy.
