Chapter 385 – Thin Ice Plate (1)
After Baek Hyun-ah was admitted to Korea University Hospital.
I received an embarrassing call from an association that asked me to process the verb fonts I had created.
“The frozen body is not twenty-four… , Twenty-three.”
-Yes, that’s right.
There were no mistakes in calculating the numbers.
The number of assassins I faced was definitely twenty-four.
But the fact that the number of corpses decreased by one to twenty-three…
“You managed to survive.”
There is only one person who barely survived that huge attack.
I replay the situation at that time in my head.
It was just one swing, but it was a blow that was close to full power.
“… “Maybe the power was lost because it was spread too widely.”
The problem may have been that the scope was enlarged to handle twenty-four people at once.
I may have survived by chance due to being attacked in the outskirts and exposed to relatively little cold.
“It’s a pain in the ass.”
I wanted to take a little more time, but I couldn’t.
The guy who ran away must have exposed the identity of the culprit who attacked Lee Yun-seok’s residence.
He would also have told me that the person who guided me to him was Baek Hyun-ah.
“How…”
As a result of examining the information, Lee Yun-seok was one of the members who was quite trusted within the organization.
The position of team leader with many subordinates.
And the proof is that he maintains a secret ledger that contains the details of money he has poured into various places to control the Republic of Korea from behind the scenes.
“If it’s a little late, the information might not be usable.”
What is one thing that a secret organization that is extremely reluctant to have its identity known is good at?
It’s just cutting off the tail.
By boldly cutting out even the parts whose identity is known, they are erasing any connection with themselves.
You may have to endure some loss just for that, but it is better than having your identity known.
“The number of people is quite large to cut off the tail, but…”
The number of people listed in the ledger is approximately one hundred.
I sprinkled a lot of it.
Not only the ruling party and the opposition party, but also executives of the Hunter Association, newspaper presidents, and executives of large corporations.
They selected only those who lived with pride in this country and bribed them.
“… “It’s so rotten.”
Most of the people here probably swallowed it without knowing exactly who they were receiving it from.
What matters to these guys is not who they are dealing with, but how much they give.
In other words, there are so many people who are more interested in taking care of their own interests than anything else.
“The country is running in a really fun way, really.”
The fever is slowly rising.
Among the names written down were people he knew from Son Si-woo’s days.
Although they weren’t very close, they interacted with each other from time to time because they liked their outward personality.
And to the Dawn Guild.
“… “This is why it’s not good for the guild to grow.”
No matter how much you filter, if the amount is large, there will always be impurities.
The names of some of those accepted as the guild began to expand are listed in the ledger.
The good news is… , Could it be that there are no names of the early people who founded the guild with me?
“You must never let your tail be cut off.”
Hate.
The string tracking the hexagram also disappears.
Those who have been receiving huge sums of money from them and whining about it are being punished in a clumsy manner.
So we have to tie them down securely.
But how?
The concerns were resolved soon after.
“… “Let’s hit the bread first.”
I decided to cut them off first to prevent them from rashly trying to cut off their tails.
* * *
Kim Do-jin’s plan worked.
After the press conference, the number one search term on various portals was dominated by hexagrams.
The same goes for the articles that are pouring in like crazy.
【There are as many as 100 people involved. What is the identity of the hexagram revealed by Kim Do-jin?】
【Secret organization Hexagram, is it Kim Do-jin’s delusion? Is it reality? 】
【Association, “We will uncover the identity of the secret organization and strike it down once and for all.” Reveal.】
Politicians, executives of large corporations, executives of hunter associations, etc.
This is an incident involving as many as hundreds of people.
Some people called it ‘Hexagram Gate’ and there were quite a few people who said it was the biggest incident since the launch of the Hunter Society.
Kim Do-jin left the press conference after setting the world on fire.
He smiled in satisfaction as he looked at the articles pouring in on the Internet.
“At this rate, it won’t cool down easily.”
No, it won’t make you cool.
There are as many as a hundred people involved.
It would take several months just to catch them one by one and investigate them.
Every time the names that have harmed the country are revealed one by one, the cooling heat will flare up again.
“If things are like this, they won’t be so quick to cut off their tails.”
Things are going as planned.
However, if you ask if everything was perfect, it wasn’t.
It was a hastily made plan to prevent premature cutting of tails.
The problem is that you can never predict how the other person will respond.
And one more thing.
By publicly revealing the existence of the hexagram, Kim Do-jin found himself in an irreversible relationship with a person.
Jiying-
[Han Joo-hee: See you tomorrow.]
Joohee Han.
With her hexagram and her holding her hand and plotting something of her.

77th floor.
As soon as I arrive at the main room, lukewarm air surrounds me.
There is only one reason why the air in the main room, which is designed to maintain the best environment at all times, becomes hot.
“Hello.”
“…”
She was sitting at a large desk looking at documents and was in a very bad mood.
Her eyes turn this way.
At first glance, the look is no different from usual, with a calm gaze.
But I can see it with my eyes.
Displeasure and discomfort lurking in a thoroughly hidden expression.
Trying to ignore her teeth, I walk over and sit down on her sofa, and after a while, she sits down on her sofa across from me.
I open her mouth first, making eye contact with her.
“If you look at the fact that he was called to earth, I don’t think it was because of training… “Do you have anything else to do?”
When I bring up her story with the attitude that I don’t know anything about her, she twists the corner of her mouth.
“I enjoyed the press conference yesterday.”
“Ah, you saw it.”
“I couldn’t not see it. “I opened it so grandly for everyone to see.”
“I was a little concerned. “I don’t think we should overlook their existence.”
“… “I will also do this to ensure that the names in the ledger do not become useless.”
She conveys a strange sense of pressure with her lowered voice.
She humbly accepts this and answers with a smile.
“You figured it out right away… “Of course, this is Hunter Han Joo-hee.”
As each day passes, the names written in the ledger are revealed one by one.
Hunter-born politicians, executives of the Hunter Association, hunters holding important positions in large guilds, etc.
The association and the prosecution joined hands to catch them all and conduct a thorough investigation.
A special investigation jointly conducted by Hunters and prosecutors was formed to investigate ‘Hexagram Gate’, which is said to be the biggest incident since the launch of the Hunter Society.
There is no escape hole.
The secret ledger was designed to prevent those who received money from Hexagram from easily escaping.
In addition to the detailed information, there are also many photos attached to prove it.
“Honestly, I was impressed. “I didn’t know he was such a just person.”
I shake my head at her words.
“Thank you for your positive comments, but… , I didn’t do this out of petty justice.”
“Then what is it?”
“Well. It’s hard to express these feelings clearly, but… “If I had to point out one thing, it would be.”
Her gaze narrowed even further.
I slowly open my mouth, assessing her true intentions hidden behind it.
“Plural… “I think it is.”
“… “It’s revenge.”
“Yes.”
If you dare to help destroy someone else’s house, you have to pay the price.
“…”
“…”
A question and answer follows.
A vague question and answer that barely scratches the surface of each other, making it difficult to get to the bottom of the story.
Han Joo-hee was the first to feel disillusioned with the situation, which was spinning around like a bullet.
“I don’t think there will be any progress like this, so I’ll ask this straight out.”
Finally she takes off her mask.
Instead of a solemn expression, there is a sharp anticipation in the air, and the tips of the eyebrows, which had no height, rise.
“I’m sure my name was in the ledger in some way.”
“I did.”
What she said is true.
Her name was also written in the secret ledger.
It was not the one who accepted the bribe.
It would have been better if it had been that way.
But she was actually the one supervising it.
How much and what Lee Yun-seok and his subordinates gave to whom.
A person who receives reports on all of this, predicts the next target to be recruited, and gives instructions.
So is she a member of Hexagram?
It is also ambiguous.
Her position written in the secret ledger.
“External advisor… “It said .”
Literally, the role of giving advice and advice to people from outside the organization, not from inside.
Her eyes fluttered once.
Soon, she uses her strength to force herself to stop trembling and asks me.
“But my name was completely erased from the ledger handed over to the special prosecutor.”
“… Did you see that again?”
Crazy guys.
A special prosecutor who shows the ledger to an external advisor of a secret organization that needs to be dug up from now on?
Even if you didn’t know it was an outside advisor, this doesn’t make sense.
Where in the world is there a crazy special prosecutor who steals top secret information and shows it to outsiders?
I’m going to have to tear it all down as soon as I get out of here, really.
“Why did you erase my name?”
The reasons for clearing her name are varied.
There is also a reason why her name had a bigger impact than the hundred names written in the ledger.
I didn’t think I would have the courage to drop that name.
And above all…
“I have something I would like to ask Hunter Joohee Han.”
“What is that request?”
He answers the question with her distorted expression.
“I would like you to arrange a meeting with a saint from the Vatican.”
She is all she is.
Among the people I know, who has the highest probability of arranging a meeting with a saint in the Vatican?
