Chapter 614 – Lee Byung-Ho (5)
*
“Why is it so late?”
“I… I want to do it quickly too… But Yeongtaeng keeps coming this way!”
“Tsk. Are your skills still the same?”
Byung-ho Lee looked at the hunters in the association from a distance.
Not knowing what might happen to them, they are only focused on the superficial title of S-class hunter.
As expected, all hunters had to die.
“Has the gatekeeper’s location been confirmed?”
“It’s not like I can find everything!”
A woman wearing a dark red hood screamed as she looked at Byung-ho Lee.
At first she was so scared that she couldn’t speak properly, but over time, her fears subsided.
‘What will they say if I scream a little?’
The core of Lee Byung-ho’s plan could be said to be a woman.
It was a plan that could not be realized without the woman’s ability, so it was the result of a calculation that even Lee Byung-ho would not be able to do anything about.
Well, even so, I was trying not to cross the line.
The image of Lee Byung-ho that he occasionally showed was not strange no matter when I turned my eyes to him.
“Hmm. We have no choice but to be careful to avoid getting caught. How much that damn old man interfered with our plans!”
“Okay. That’s right.”
This was an opportunity I had been waiting for so long. This was something I absolutely could not afford to fail as it could be said to be the last time.
Byung-ho Lee calmed down his rising anger and began to review the plans he had made in his head one by one.
Actually, it wasn’t a great plan.
It’s just that the preparation process is difficult, but if the plan comes true, even those talented hunters will end up with different fates.
“Now is the moment to wait.”
A wild beast had to hide its fangs.
The moment the prey is most vulnerable, the fangs must be sunk into the most lethal place to ensure successful hunting.
Taesoo Choi, Sasin, Arin Choi, Chaerin Kang.
Because they are trying to hunt creatures that are not strange at all even if they are called monsters one by one.
“You probably have no idea that this place will become a tomb.”
“… “
Who could imagine that those who were known to be at the top would collapse all at once.
The moment preparations are complete, a bloody feast will unfold here.
At that time, one side will not survive.
Who will survive?
“Will it be the hunter or the hunted?”
No one will know that the noose is slowly tightening the hunters’ necks.
*
There were already too many hunters going out to hunt, so it was impossible to stay still here.
The tent incident was only temporary, and everyone here was sincere about their position as S-class hunters.
I guess the only one who didn’t know the intention was Seo-ah, but I could fully predict that the rest would probably have a clear goal.
No matter how urgent it is, you can’t go in without any preparation, so after doing some quick personal maintenance, we decided to meet at the entrance.
As for me, thanks to the inventory, I had enough space and didn’t have to prepare much, so I was walking around leisurely like this.
Although I felt a lot of pressure due to the fact that it was a red gate, everyone seemed to be somewhat relaxed because it was possible to enter.
Depending on the gate, there are types where once you enter, you cannot come out until you clear it, but fortunately this wasn’t that type.
I was thinking that it might be possible to operate it like other public gates, considering that it is possible to enter and exit, but unfortunately, that seems to be difficult.
It is said that she has the characteristic of being unstable and not knowing when the situation may change, so even though Choi A-rin Hunter is prepared, she does not know when the situation may change.
So we’re moving supplies inside like crazy, but I don’t know how long we’ll have to stay inside the gate.
‘Um, is this Taeyeon?’
It was hard to talk to me earlier because there were so many people, but I was glad I was alone now.
Seo-ah kept trying not to leave, but Jia was dragging her, so she had no choice but to follow.
By the way, wasn’t it a secret that Seo-ah belonged to the Shinigami Guild? Well, that’s not important right now.
“Would you like me to listen to you?”
“… ? “Is it Kim Si-woo?”
Taeyeon Kim’s voice seemed slightly sulky. Is it because Seo-ah was in my arms?
I thought that Kim Taeyeon’s personality wouldn’t cause her to be jealous, but you never know what’s inside people.
“… “
The other kids spent a long time with me, but in Kim Taeyeon’s case, it could be said to be relatively short.
Since there was an incident with Seojun, she thought she should be more careful, but what can she do when things turn out like this?
It may be seen as selfish, but it would be better to say it clearly.
“I never lied to you.”
“… ?”
“It has never been sincere, it still is, and it will always be that way.”
Well, it includes other kids, but that’s not a lie.
Because I was always sincere toward my kids.
“What are you saying.”
Kim Taeyeon’s face turns slightly red, as if her sincerity was conveyed well.
Since the atmosphere was good, I thought it was okay for now.
By the way, I don’t know how many of these long cases are attached.
“Isn’t it heavy?”
“This is okay.”
Considering Taeyeon Kim’s abilities, I thought it was all mid- to long-term.
It was clear that throwing the created bullets directly would have its limits.
Perhaps that’s why it can be seen as an ability that is more affected by weapons than others.
Throwing it directly has clear limitations.
All you have to do is click the trigger, but do you throw them one by one with your bare hands?
‘It’s not easy.’
“Give me something to listen to.”
“It’s okay. Now… Wait a minute, where are you touching?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
Taeyeon’s butt looked so desirable that I seemed to have touched it without realizing it.
Because she was always running around, being bouncy was also Taeyeon’s charm.
“Isn’t it convenient to carry it around in something like a subspace bracelet?”
It doesn’t seem easy to change weapons if you carry it like this, and since there’s a lot of baggage, it doesn’t seem like you can carry it all.
“. All.”
“Huh?”
“No.”
“Ah.”
“Because it is a dedicated part, the maintenance cost alone is already difficult to bear.”
“Then shall I buy you one?”
The thing I’m wearing right now is actually something I take out of my inventory, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t have it.
“Under.? “What do you think of me now?”
After hearing what I said, Taeyeon looked at me with a very upset expression.
“Who do you consider a snob?”
I guess she was telling me not to sympathize with her in this way, but she seemed to be in a very bad mood.
“Who said it would be given for free? Of course, I have to repay with my body.”
“Radish… What.”
“I will treat you as my father for the rest of my life.”
“As long as she graduates from the academy, uh. She can live as long as she wants!”
“Okay, okay. So, how many children will I have?”
“About two people… No, what are they talking about now!!”
When Taeyeon got angry, she gave her a big slap on the buttocks and quickly ran away.
“Kim Si-woo!!”
*
“Ha. Well, I expected it, but it was still true.”
When we arrived at the meeting point, instructor Kim Si-young looked at me and Kim Tae-yeon and sighed.
“Is that all there is?”
“Yes. Well, I brought all the equipment.”
I pulled out the sword from the subspace bracelet and showed it to the instructor.
“Did you just bring a weapon?”
“How do you view me? Of course, there are other supplies as well.”
It’s in my inventory, but I always carry it with me in case of any situation.
I showed them roughly adequate food and water, but instructor Kim Si-young’s expression didn’t seem to ease.
“I don’t think the space will be very big, but if possible, it would be a good idea to pack a backpack at the same time.”
Now that I think about it, everyone but us is wearing a large backpack, and I never thought even Seo-ah would be wearing one.
Probably Jia took care of it for me.
“Do you want to go far?”
I thought it would just be a quick walk around, but everyone, including Minah, was so serious that I felt like I was being stabbed.
Since I have an inventory, I feel like I’ve become somewhat insensitive to this.
“Because you don’t know how things will turn out. Cadet Kim Si-woo.”
“It’s okay. I took the food too.”
Seo-ah, who is carrying a bag bigger than her body, looks cute like a baby girl in games, but isn’t that too big?
“Seoya. “Isn’t it heavy?”
“Yes.”
“Wasn’t it just a matter of taking the equipment.?”
Since everyone had so much luggage, Taeyeon scratched her head as if feeling sorry for no reason, wondering if it was bothering her to bring only weapons.
“It’s okay to take extra supplies, but it’s best to always pay attention to supplies while inside the gate. Siwoo, Taeyeon.”
Still, it’s not inside the Red Gate, but since there were so many people, it seems like it was unlocked without my knowledge.
I didn’t want to go there on my own, so I brought along a few things I could listen to.
“It is dangerous to rely too much on the subspace bracelet. It may be affected depending on the space, so it is recommended to take out your weapon.”
“Ah. I understand.”
As expected, I was active in the guild. I don’t think it would matter since I have inventory, but for now, I decided to do as I was told.
“Then we will leave.”
As the extreme party set off like that, Jian stood at the very front and began scouting ahead, even while carrying that heavy bag.
There is no ability more useful for scouting than the ability to teleport with the shadow mark.
“Don’t be too relieved just because there is a scout. Cadet Kim Si-woo.”
Instructor Kim Si-young, who was watching the front, and I were standing at the rear in preparation for an unexpected surprise attack.
“I know that much.”
What kind of child do you think you are? I think it’s too much to point out every obvious thing, instructor.
I gave a half-hearted answer to Instructor Siyoung, and Jia appeared with a sign.
“There are no monsters around here, probably because the advance team took care of them all.”
“Anyway, I guess they are opportunists. If this happens, I’ll have to decide on a direction and go in. What are you going to do?”
“I guess. We will need a leader.”
“Leader? Well, it will take time to integrate opinions. What do you think, Minaya?”
“That’s definitely true.”
The rest of the staff nodded as if they agreed.
It was dangerous if opinions were not unified in an emergency situation.
‘He’s the leader, so I guess Jia or Mina, who have more experience in this area, would be better? The city instructor also said that he had been on active duty for quite a long time.’
“I. Siwoo.”
Seo-ah’s sudden remark that broke the silence, are you telling me to be the leader now?
“… ?”
“I think Kim Si-woo would be good for me too.”
Why are you doing this to Jia?
“Now… Wait a minute, what do you mean? “You’re leaving cadet Kim Si-woo to be the leader?”
This seems like a strange atmosphere. Am I the only one who feels that way?
