Chapter 58 – Level 6 – I’m the Social Underdog (12)
After hearing Hyemi’s words, I thought about it.
I took out my phone and started playing back the recorded call to compare the voices.
[Park Eun-hyuk? Is that Park Eun-hyuk’s mobile phone?]
[What level are you now?]
[Tell me quickly! If you get caught right now, you die!]
[Oh, I don’t know. In fact, the level right now doesn’t really matter. Level 6, you have to take level 6 unconditionally until you get caught. Remember, it’s level 6. If it’s before you take it, run away unconditionally.]
The difference in sound quality is so great that it feels strangely different.
After comparing them directly, it was clear that they were similar.
In particular, the vocalization and tone of their voices were so identical that it seemed more appropriate to judge them as the same person unless they deliberately copied them.
“Hey, wait a minute.”
Right before I was taken away by the police, there was a person watching this from another building.
I was using something like a sniper rifle.
It wasn’t exactly the distance to see the face, but…
“Princess Lee Hunter.”
When I searched the internet, relevant information came pouring out.
Also, as I remembered, Hunter Lee had the characteristic of sniping from the back row.
Even the weapon used is a sniper rifle made exclusively for it.
The design also didn’t look much different from what I saw that day.
Come to think of it, there were definitely more strange things going on.
At that time, there was a sudden explosion in the building’s bathroom, so we pulled up time so we wouldn’t be late.
What if it purposely helped us by shooting through the bathroom window?
‘But why?’
Let’s assume that it was Princess Lee Hunter who made the call.
Then why the hell did she get involved in the case to help me?
And why are you making such a fuss about joining our team?
Before that, how did you know about my talents, and even predict what my 6th level talents were?
“Driving me crazy.”
“Can’t you just ask yourself?”
“It’s too dangerous. My ability doesn’t work for S-class hunters more than anything else…”
[Oh, by the way, there is an argument that Princess Lee Hunter should be A-class, not S-class. What do you think about this?]
[The story that my attribute level known from the suspicion is 9 is true. However, due to the nature of my ability, I can cover it with enough skill even if it is not level 10, and I actually solved the S-class qualification test within an average time and without any major problems.]
[Ah, it seems that this is the first official to come out on this issue. The S-class qualification test is […
“Uh?”
Wait a minute, this princess hunter is level 9?
In general, it’s common sense that a Hunter’s rank is proportional to her attribute level, but these regulars with attributes much stronger than her own level occasionally appear.
To be honest, I’m close to this irregular, so I can adjust quite a few A-ranks at will, even though I’m at level 6.
Anyway, there is a test that ranks only by skill for hunters with no such irregularities or characteristics.
However, unlike the exam that considers the level of characteristics for which the state pays the full cost, the very expensive test cost is borne by the individual.
Anyway, I know that basically my ability is based on the attribute level, not the opponent’s combat power.
Then you’re saying that I can control this princess hunter, even if it’s S-class, right?
Well worth a try then.
“Honestly, Eunhyuk, you’re being too cautious. But isn’t that person helping you?”
“That’s right.”
Well, if you were thinking of doing something to me, you wouldn’t have helped me.
As long as these conditions were perfectly met, I thought it would be polite to share a conversation.
How can a person shut their mouths only with help?
“Wow, this is… Heck, Unnie Seol.”
“Yes?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s nothing.”
For that reason, it was decided that Princess Lee Hunter would have a formal conversation with us.
As a result, she is now in front of our eyes.
It was just that she wanted to be alone with me, so her other kids decided to stay downstairs with her.
“Hello, Princess.”
“Note… No, Mr. Park Eun-hyuk, hello.”
It’s a bit strange from before.
As soon as she said something strange, she tried to stop her mouth and change her words.
Maybe it’s because I was hurt by Seol-ah, but I’m worried about every little thing like that.
“Isn’t this the first time we’re talking?”
“Huh? Eh, what are you talking about? It’s the first time. The first time.”
“Phone call.”
As soon as I spoke on the phone, he turned his head away and pretended not to know.
I was thinking of using ‘do it’ to spit out the truth, but it’s too easy for people.
What is that tea?
For some reason, this kind of person doesn’t get angry unless he pokes them and makes them vomit their true feelings.
What should I say, I want to react strongly.
Since you were trying to save me, should I go with something like this normally?
“Lee Princess Hunter. Do you like me?”
“Yes. Yes? Oh, no!? I, not at all…”
Thank you for your honest answer.
You like it.
In fact, it was clear that this person saved me because he wanted to save me.
The question is, why did you come to like me?
Me and her have never had any contact.
Or is it something like a younger brother I knew in an orphanage that I don’t remember?
“…Ha”
She finally sighed and pulled out one of her papers and put it on her table.
And she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her scars as if her flesh had been ripped off.
What are you doing?
“Park Eun-hyuk, do you know the Women’s Human Rights Committee, a group called the Women’s Institute for short?”
“…It’s the first time I’ve heard of it”
“This is going to be a long story.”
Princess Lee pointed to the table next to her and asked for her pen and paper.
Then she started explaining to me by simply drawing.
“Women are currently a group that is secretly moving around the world. There is no place that does not have influence from the president of a country that is larger than a certain amount, to members of the National Assembly, judges and prosecutors, and key positions.”
“It’s the first group I’ve heard of, and it has such a powerful force?”
“Yes, because they are hiding their existence.”
Apparently I asked about her identity, but what came out was a description of a strange organization.
Even the content was so absurd and unrealistic that people were told to stop watching the movie.
“The reason I know them well is because I was originally destined to live as a member of the group.”
“Are you the princess?”
“There are a lot of real S-class hunters registered as A-class in the world. And most of them are organized in important positions around the world and rule the world.”
“No, if you’re an S-class hunter, you’re just the top of this world… You live by following someone’s orders?”
“It’s brainwashed and produced like that. So did I.”
“Production?”
No, what do you mean by being produced rather than raising people?
I don’t seem to understand, so she added her own explanation.
“Since I was young, I was raised only to serve someone. It is imprinted in my head that that is the greatest joy. Then, when the attribute level reaches 10, I am assigned a position with the Master I will serve.”
“Master… What the hell is that Master?”
“I don’t know either.”
“Yes?”
No, he said he lived in the hometown of those children.
But why don’t you know that
“I’ve never seen it. I reached level 10, but it was before I was assigned a master, and I was only acting as a combat agent guarding a production facility and was rescued by my master.”
“Who else is the master?”
She didn’t answer even when I asked a question and just stared at me blankly.
What are you looking at me for?
“Wait a minute, did you reach level 10? Wasn’t the princess level 9 now?”
“I’m level 9. That’s what happened ‘last time’.”
“Last time?”
My head couldn’t keep up with the story.
Why do we talk about things that haven’t happened yet as if they happened in the past?
After grunting and pondering, there was a material that came to mind.
“Are you sure you returned to the past?”
“…”
She just shook her head without saying anything.
My God, then you’ve known all about my powers because I’m from the future?
At best, I expected it to be a light prediction of the future, but this scale has grown too large.
“It should be more accurately called a regressor. Only the mind has returned.”
“Then the arm you showed me earlier…”
“Originally, there is a tattoo that indicates the affiliation here. Although the location of the tattoo varies from person to person.”
“Is that tattoo design this?”
When she asked, pointing to the piece of paper she pulled out earlier, she nodded her head.
A tattoo with a Q shape inside the heart.
It was a picture that is generally thought of as the Queen of Hearts.
“It’s a fairly common tattoo.”
“That’s probably what they were aiming for. However, the tattoos of the members of the group are the same shape and size as that Q, so you can tell by putting them on. I’ve even heard that when a master is assigned, the tattoo is given the brainwashing attribute.”
“Master…”
What the hell are these people doing so they can handle S-class hunters as they please?
My head was dizzy at the story that had grown so large.
“Originally, I didn’t intend to tell you this soon. But, as expected, it’s hard to hide this from Eunhyuk.”
“Isn’t it just that the princess can’t lie?”
“…Park Eun-hyuk, I guess.”
What does that have to do with me
I don’t know what to say when I’m blushing and embarrassed like that.
“You mean you like me?”
“Oh, no!”
“I will know that.”
“…Smiley”
In any case, there was a very high probability that her future me would be acquainted with her.
She acted as if she knew Seol-ah earlier, but she pretended not to know as if it was a mistake.
I felt quite familiar with how they treated me more than anything else.
“So what does the Women’s Human Rights Commission do?”
“Basically, as I said before, I’m going to enter an important position in the world as a follower of the Masters and move in secret. Other than that…”
Her stories from her after that were full of shocking things.
Originally, it is a story that is far from the current reality that it is normal for men to be able to awaken.
And that, like me, Irregulars are born and watch over them so they don’t disturb them, then kill them.
Ultimately, there is even a plan to make all Awoken people follow the Master so that the Masters can rule the world.
“The last plan is still in preparation, but once it starts to be implemented, A-rank or higher hunters will start disappearing one by one.”
“And when the missing Hunter returns…”
“Of course, the Master has been assigned.”
From the state of a child to brainwashing and raising data to get data.
Ultimately, that data and mental interference characteristics are used to make even ordinary hunters into servants of the masters.
In the first place, it was said that the reason why the state discarded the awakening of mental characteristics instead of managing them was likely to use the mental interference characteristics only for them.
“We failed in the future. In the end, Park Eun-hyuk, who was our hope, was defeated by them, and I came to the past because Seol was asked to do everything.”
“Sul means Seol-ah, right?”
“That’s right.”
And upon returning to her past, she says, she ran away from the production facility she was in.
After that, the one who made her a new identity and became her hunter is what she is now.
“You made an identity without being caught in the media unexpectedly?”
“I heard that someone very similar to me died around this time. Thanks to the help of Seol and her older sister, she was able to act perfectly.”
“Aha, you worked hard. But then doesn’t she have a real name?”
“It’s my real name…”
She thought for a while.
She then opened her mouth as she laughed.
