Chapter 339 – #340 27
#340 27
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-
As the memory hunter fired, the targets went backwards one after another.
Even when firing with a silencer on, it makes a lot of noise, but the gun in his hand was barely audible even though it was not equipped with a silencer.
It was one of the weapons stolen from President Bal Ji-woon.
“Whoa…”
For the past month, the memory hunters have secretly trained for combat here.
He learned how to shoot, install and detonate bombs, and in particular, trained to adapt to the S-class Sanctuary Armor, which can be said to be Chairman Bal Ji-woon’s master piece, and now he can handle all weapons proficiently.
“… Oops!”
No, in fact, I think it is still lacking.
The guy you’ll be facing sooner or later is a combat specialist who has been using psychic powers for decades, maybe even hundreds of years.
Unlike him, who had a lot of experience fighting psychics, the memory hunter was not very familiar with fighting psychics.
Even so, the reason I finished preparing-
“Big!
The memory hunter coughed violently and looked down at his hands. There was a lot of blood.
His body had reached a point where he could no longer stand it.
There were still two months left until the three months the doctor said, but the remaining time was drastically reduced due to the relic heart transplant surgery supervised by Steel Armor.
The memory hunter thought he might have a week or maybe twenty-four hours.
More than this, he will disappear fleetingly without even taking revenge for the delay. That’s why I think the memory hunter is not enough, but he decided to finish his preparations at this point.
“… Let’s go.”
With all their belongings packed, the memory hunter left the warehouse.
*****
After undergoing relic implantation surgery, the memory hunters didn’t just train for combat. He drove around Dark City in his car and read the memories of the streets.
A greater amount of memory was embedded in objects than in human memories.
“Kuu… Kwaaaaagh!”
The memory hunter screamed at the flood of memories flooding his head. It was difficult even for him, who had surpassed human limits, to find just the necessary information in his memories of this many hours.
The burden on the body was considerable, and the time that was not long left disappeared even faster.
Like the sand in an hourglass, his lifespan was getting shorter and shorter.
Even so, he did not stop reading the memory of the street.
“Haha…”
Should I call this luck, or should I call it misfortune?
“Found.”
With great tenacity, the memory hunter read all the memories of the time in the streets, no, Dark City, and found the information he needed.
“You’ve been hiding there, monster.”
The memory hunter has succeeded in finding out where the monster he is supposed to hunt is hiding.
*****
Kik-!
The vehicle with the memory hunter stopped in front of an abandoned factory in District 27.
Area 27 is located in the far northwest corner of Dark City, and there is an area ruled by the Shadow Killer nearby. As such, District 27 was a ghost town with few people living there.
The memory hunter who chased the memory of the street found out that the monster he was chasing was hiding here.
“It’s perfect weather to die.”
The memory hunter muttered as he looked up at the sky full of dark clouds.
If Steel Armor had listened to his words, he would have been very happy. This is because these words were among his top five favorite movie lines.
“…But I should have insurance, right?”
Lost in thought for a moment, he muttered something incomprehensible to him and then took out his cell phone. It was full of missed calls and unacknowledged texts.
The senders were mainly the president of the Valencia Association or Steel Armor.
“…”
The memory hunter sent a short text message to the two of them. Then he turned off his phone and threw it into the car.
After grabbing a backpack from the car, he headed to the abandoned factory. The backpack was full of weapons ripped off by Chairman Bal Ji-woon.
After entering the factory, the memory hunters headed for the place indicated by the memories.
Clap clap clap-
“…”
He heard someone running upstairs, but he didn’t bother. He didn’t want to lose his strength in a useless place, in case an unknown opponent attacked first.
I wanted to pour all my remaining energy into the monster.
How long did it take Something huge appeared in the distance.
[Quack-quick. Who is this? How did that famous S-class hero end up in such a shabby place?]
“Ugh…”
The memory hunter was impressed by the huge presence that appeared before him. It looks so terrifying.
It openly spoke human language and had an appearance that could not be called human at all.
It had no limbs at first. But instead, the torso was very thick and long.
It had the appearance of a snake and crawled on the ground like a real snake.
It looked like a snake, but you couldn’t call it a snake either. It was because he had a human face.
“Are you giving up being human now, Shadow Killer?”
[Shadow Killer? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did you mistake me for the Shadow Killer? I’m sorry. He’s already been my guinea pig for a long time? Shall I show you?]
“Don’t pretend. Even if your appearance has changed, will I not be able to recognize you?”
[You fool. You guys don’t always believe the truth right in front of you, you only believe what you want to believe.]
“Haa… What the fuck is this again.”
The memory hunter sighed in boredom.
“Hey Shadow Killer. Today I’m here to kill you and end this hateful relationship. You want to be serious?”
[…Hee hee! I am also a memory hunter! How did you find out? Would it have been perfect?]
At the words of the memory hunter, the face-to-face teacher stared at him in silence for a while before bursting into laughter. It was a strange voice that sounded like a mixture of all sorts of laughter.
“I’ve been chasing after you for the past 10 years. I can’t fool my eyes even if you’ve changed so much… Damn.”
[Okay! Yes! You’ve been chasing after me ever since that day! Kkukkkkgh!]
As if having fun, the Inmyeonsa, no, the Shadow Killer shouted.
Yes. The true identity of Inmyeonsa was the Shadow Killer.
Steam’s creator, Dr. Krumola, injected more than the limit of steam into his body. As a result, he became a body that could never be called a human being.
Dr. Crumola, who escaped and was born as a new being, steals the Shadow Killer in preparation for Steel Armor and the Hero Association’s attack on the secret underground base.
But who would have known?
That even that was a trap prepared by the Shadow Killer.
The Shadow Killer has been preparing a plan for over a hundred years.
And if there was one or two more years, the plan prepared by the shadow killer would have succeeded. However, before putting an end to the plan, a variable he did not anticipate appeared.
Steel armor.
When the Shadow Killer fought Steel Armor and suffered the disgrace of having his body torn in half, he was convinced that Steel Armor would be a major stumbling block to his plans.
The Shadow Killer thought he couldn’t kill Steel Armor with his current self. I needed a new body, a body much stronger than my current one.
So I used Dr. Crumola.
Dr. Crumola was surprisingly self-indulgent, and his soul was consumed with futile ease.
Incomplete madness could not overcome complete madness.
[Go back, Memory Hunters.]
The Shadow Killer, who had been laughing strangely for a long time, spoke to the Memory Hunter.
[It’s not yet time to harvest you. So go back.]
“That’s such a novel bullshit. Did you think that if you told the person who came to kill you to go back, you would go back?”
[Okay? If you want to follow your family like that, there’s no choice.]
“…”
When the Shadow Killer mentioned his family, the memory hunter’s face hardened.
Yeah I remember
When my beloved wife and daughter were killed by that son of a bitch 10 years ago, the sky was dark and it was raining like today.
How can I forget that terrible day?
The memory hunter drew a gun from his waistband and aimed it at the Shadow Killer.
“I’ll kill you, Shadow Killer.”
[Khehehe… You’ll have to deal with my servants before you kill me.]
“…”
Kyaaaaa-!
Haaaaah-!
Krrrr-!
It was full of things that looked like a mixture of beasts and humans. They were steam users who once made the Dark City noisy.
[Kill.]
Kyaaaaa-!
“Sheesh!”
When the Shadow Killer’s attack order was given, the Steam Takers jumped from a high place and ran towards the Memory Hunters.
The memory hunter, tongue-in-cheek, started the final battle by shooting at them.
*****
Dark City has been chaos for the past month.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have saved the jet stream for no reason.”
The reason I accepted Jet Stream as a temporary subordinate was to bring out the hidden Zero by causing chaos in the Dark City.
Because there is no better condition for a hidden man to fully bloom his crouching body than a chaotic situation.
However, I ran into the Zero in the black market. Is he all there is? The New Hero Association Heroes launched by the black market operators were actively attacking S-class villains.
There was not a day without gunshots, and the damage caused by them was considerable.
Then, the reaction of people who supported Heroes was also divided in half.
There are still people who strongly support Heroes who attack S-class villains who can be called social evil, while others think that this is a bit harsh.
It was good for the Hero Association to deal with S-class villains that had been standing by, but it was because the number of ordinary people who died or were injured in the aftermath increased.
Like this, the heroes took care of themselves and caused the chaos I wanted, so I wondered if I had brought out the jet stream for no reason.
“Well, it’s not a bad thing because my area has expanded that much.”
In the meantime, Jet Stream did exactly what I told it to do.
He dealt with the A-class villain Don Quixote, who was the main pillar of the anti-jet stream alliance, and succeeded in subjugating the remaining areas he was managing.
And now it was attacking the area of [Vivavia], One of the allies and an A-class villain.
Five A-class villains had to unite and face the jet stream alone. Sooner or later, the territory once ruled by the jet stream will be mine.
Then when the jet stream leads my men to hit me in the back of the head, I’ll hit the front of it.
“Perfect.”
Truly, it can’t be a perfect life plan for Zhuge Liang to cry.
“I have to wake up now.”
After checking all the documents I had to look at today, I got up from my seat.
It’s been a month since I knocked down one of the buildings in Black Market, so I must have caught my guard.
Why did the 6.25 War break out? Because he was careless If you are careless, you will be beaten.
It was the moment when he was about to use the location exchange skill to go to Treasure Island.
“Location school…”
-Brother! Who came? Uh? Is it a text?
I heard Alice’s voice on the phone. It was a text message she made because she asked her to record her.
“Who texted… Huh? Memory hunter?”
The person who texted me was none other than a memory hunter.
This scammer!
Damn shack who ate my remains and went to sleep!
“This shameless bastard is now texting and fucking… What the heck is this?”
There were no words written in the text.
-27-
Only the number 27 was written on it.
