Chapter 158 – Confession (1)
Early moning.
Hunters went to work as an association, not a guild.
Today, there was an unexpected education on the dangers of cursed equipment.
The Hunters, who were slightly embarrassed by the association’s call, relieved their annoyance and anger when they saw that Yeriel was there.
Yeriel volunteered to act as her instructor for the sake of this day.
Thanks to this, the Hunters’ lecture was truly perfect.
For today’s lecture, the association even released an unusual photo of the victim and the wearer.
“Recently, cursed equipment that has been circulated illegally is really dangerous. The association treats this incident as a terrorism against hunters, so if you have any doubts, please contact us immediately.”
“Ha Nam-il… Isn’t he a craftsman who used to make pretty good equipment?”
“I was very eccentric from the beginning.”
“Some guild said they stole that man’s patent…”
“Did you really make it so that everyone would die?”
The reason why we are conducting this education is not different.
Hunters were now fully educated on the dangers of the cursed equipment, so there was no excuse for not knowing later.
It is said that they will not admit mental and physical weakness and loss of mind and body due to wearing cursed equipment.
“Thanks for letting me go.”
“I’m glad I was helpful.”
But that kind of effort is worthless.
As soon as afternoon came, we faced an incident related to cursed equipment.
The suspect in this case is an A-rank hunter.
On the outside, it seemed that he was enjoying a not-so-bad life… But in reality, it was as gruesome as the scene of the murder.
“I never thought that a guy with an A rank would get his hands on this kind of cursed equipment…”
“I think this guy knew in advance too?
The suspect was an A-rank hunter who felt the decline of the hunter industry firsthand.
Currently, the creation of dungeons and gates is rapidly decreasing…
It was predicted that income would decrease significantly in the near future, and the Hunter Guild would also be closed.
In the end, what he chose was none other than short selling.
These days, the individual short selling process has become much simpler, so it takes less than half a day to prepare, let alone a day.
“You really made the worst choice.”
Seo Ji-yu, who was listening to Blanche’s explanation, commented like that.
In modern times, it is true that individuals can sell short, but…
Short selling by individuals and short selling by companies and foreigners are distinctly different.
Individual investors find it difficult to trade.
A level that is only possible if you have billions of units of capital.
In other words, short selling by individual investors has a much higher interest rate and shorter deadline than short selling by companies.
In a way, it can be seen that the defeat of the suspect was inevitable.
Besides… His investment his had a really serious bad news.
In fact, we were not at all concerned about this issue.
Free disclosure of magic conversion technology developed by Heo Joo-a!
As a result, the decline in stock prices of companies has been dramatically delayed.
The loan transaction period is three months at the longest, so the timing is roughly right.
“This man, he picked the wrong stocks too. How did he have the guts to buy stocks like this…”
In the end, let alone gains, only losses are seen and forced to lose!
In addition to that, the suspect was subject to the guild’s restructuring.
It is true that Hunter theme stocks are on a downward trend… But it has become a fantastic situation where only the person himself suffers properly.
In the end, the result was this terrible scene.
Mass murder in guild building.
It’s similar to the last incident.
“Am I going to have to keep seeing this from now on… What is the cursed equipment used this time?”
“It’s a simple drug type. I think it was distributed in a black market.”
“It’s time to close the black market completely.”
At that time, Blanche, who had been listening to me quietly, presented his opinion of her.
[Master. There is an easier and simpler way than that.]
“What?”
[Please allow me to unlock my function.]
“What? Are you serious?”
The function he is talking about is the 4th Hunter ability that was installed last time…
It was a natural response that Tiamat’s green hair possessed.
If a guy who already has tremendous electronic warfare performance uses natural response, he will come infinitely closer to omnipotence.
I was very taken aback as I had no idea he would propose it first.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
[Yes. We are aware that there is a risk that using this ability may result in permanent dysfunction. It’s a very, very low probability.]
“However…”
[If you don’t use that ability anyway, you can’t move on to the next step. I think now is the right time.]
But. Now, the white hair is hiding in Korea to destroy human society.
Besides, the remnants of the dragonflight were waiting on the other side of the sea.
In fact, no matter what happens at any time, it is not strange.
I was very grateful for Blanche’s proposal for her, but at the same time I was worried.
“What does Matthew say?”
[The preparations were over a long time ago. Now that the green dust control device is complete, in case of emergency, the function can be disabled and separated at any time.]
“Then is it only my permission left?”
[Right.]
Matthew didn’t rush me to check twice or three times.
I stopped all my work and shut myself in my private office and started Django.
Blanche waited for me without saying anything while showing the control device for her her 4th ability her.
Actually, it’s a question that I’ve been thinking about many times and many times until today, but…
I have no choice but to hesitate until the end.
“Blanche. Please list the things you plan to search for with that ability.”
[Here it is.]
Of course, the ability will be used minimally.
Most of them are related to the Black Lotus and the Dragon Legion.
I put one more at the top of that list.
“Please search for this first. Can you do it?”
[Of course, Master.]
“Okay, so start as soon as your preparations are complete. I’ll give you the final permission to unlock the feature.”
[Yes, Master. Thank you for trusting me.]
I clenched my trembling hands tightly and watched the progress.
Parts that had been completely separated were attached to Blanche’s body under her strict procedures and vigilance.
When the triple safety device is released and magic power is finally supplied to the parts…
Blanche started searching in an instant.
[Installation of parts and synchronization completed. Ability activation begins…]
“Blanche, are you okay?”
[Yes, no problem. I checked all the information on the list myself. Ability activation time is 0.8 seconds. Reactivate the safety device.]
“You’re fast. Are you okay?”
[Very good.]
Fortunately, thanks to Blanche’s tremendous information processing ability, there were no side effects.
I’m glad Matthew went along with the scenario he anticipated.
I immediately started taking her reports to her.
There was one thing to check before the information about the Black Lotus.
“… This… Is really unexpected. Should I say it’s fortunate?”
[It is said that it is fortunate. After all, she is Master’s ally.]
“…”
After checking, I fell into a new trouble.
How should I get into the house today?
When I went down to the lobby of the association after absentmindedly staying until work time, I saw the wreaths sent by each guild.
“Umm…”
“Master, why is that?”
“I’m going to stop by somewhere on my way home from work.”
In the end, as soon as the sun goes down, he leaves the knife and returns home.
As always, Yeriel, who had come to the front door to meet her, was overjoyed when she handed over her bouquet from me.
The bright pastel-toned bouquet was very pretty with large and small flowers evenly mixed.
The owner of the store recognized that I was Yeriel’s husband and made her reservations with all delays.
“Ah, what is this all of a sudden?”
She felt guilty as she watched Yeriel rejoice as if she were a child.
A bouquet of flowers is not a precious gift.
In fact, it is relatively common when it comes to gifts.
But, I’ve never given it as a gift before.
When Yeriel saw my face, she sensed the situation roughly.
Alice and Tia were still confused, but they were overwhelmed by the atmosphere and said nothing.
“Western?”
“I said I’ve been watching you for a long time.”
I remembered her words I heard her when I met her in her plaza her.
Now that she thinks about it, it wasn’t that she didn’t show off at all.
“Actually, I was suspicious of Tiamat’s white hair…”
“Whoa, isn’t it too easy to suspect that the image colors overlap?”
“It was.”
What are you hiding now?
I ordered Blanche to investigate Yeriel.
There was also her fake green dust case of her, so she decided that she could n’t be trusted completely.
Thus, Blanche accurately figured out what kind of existence Yeriel was.
“Your past, if clean, was too clean. Usually when you do your research, it’s not like that.”
“…”
The fact that she proposed to me without hesitation, and the fact that she knew the identity of Green Dust very accurately…
It was no coincidence that he even knew Oracle’s parts configuration.
Yeriel knew it all from the beginning.
“What was your old name?”
“It’s the same as now, Blanche.”
“What?”
When Alice, impatient, interjected, Yeriel explained a little more directly.
“I’m the one who inherited some of Blanche’s memories and abilities from her.”
“Nonsense. Blanche wasn’t even there when her sister was born, right?”
“Oh, it’s not like she’s been in this condition since birth. In fact, this body should have died once.”
Yeriel Frost.
White Hunter. A savior and the strongest being.
Her insistence on her white color her seems to be due to Blanche’s influence on her.
We moved into the living room and resumed our conversation slowly.
