Chapter 401 – #402 Back Out (1)
#402 Back out(1)
Following the memory of the land, he followed Zero’s journey. At the end of it, there was a huge iron fortress, a steel barrier surrounding the Dark City.
‘Why did this bastard come here?’
The steel barrier is literally a huge barrier made of steel. A huge barrier built to block outside monsters.
Zero came right here.
Why?
“… Uh?”
Confirming the memory of the land, I made an impression. Zero this bastard…
“Huh? Master! Come here for a second!”
At that time, Raonjenna called me to see if she had found something. I approached her
“It’s weak here, but I can smell Zero.”
She wrinkled her long nose and sniffed the barrier. Standing next to her, I grabbed the floor.
“I guess so.”
“Huh? What are you doing… Huh?”
Thud-!
There was an iron handle in the ground, and when he pulled it, a large iron cover rose up, dusting it.
Inside, there was a spiral-shaped staircase and a hole so deep that it was hard to guess the end.
“This…”
“Hole?”
“Why is this…?”
The three of them were puzzled by the hole I found. And I laughed out loud
“제로 이 씨발 놈의 새끼. 온갖 터프한 척은 다 하더니만 정작 쥐구멍을 이용하고 있었네? 쥐새끼 같은 놈.”
“A rat… Hole? What do you mean? A rat hole?”
“Can’t you tell just by looking at it? Zero, that bastard rat ran away here.”
“Fleeing? Running away… To where?”
Raonzena’s gaze turned to the steel barrier. Seeing that, I nodded.
“Well… You’ll have to go there yourself to know, but it’s obvious that this is where he’s going to run away.”
Zero, I realized belatedly that there was one more hideout for that bastard.
Slater.
He fled to the Monster Hunter Village outside the Dark City.
*****
I remembered the location and returned home once. This is because I had to make various preparations before leaving the Dark City.
“Eat first, first priority.”
Of course, there are no convenience stores or hypermarkets outside of Dark City. In order to eat a good quality meal, you had to bring something to eat.
In particular, don’t I eat a lot of ignorance? If you don’t bring something to eat, you’ll have to take a picture of Bear Grylls. Well, it stimulates a man’s adventurous spirit, but right now, hitting zero is more important than that, so let’s do it later!
Besides, there are several monster hunter villages that have come under my command halfway there. It will give them a taste of the salty, sweet, and spicy flavors of the city.
‘Then will your loyalty to me increase?’
Anything will happen someday. Now, even though they say they don’t have any special powers, aren’t they ignorant of a person’s future? I never knew it might be of great help to me one day.
Anyway, I would have to sweep at least five hypermarkets to get food for those people, but I didn’t have to.
“You can ask the elves for something to eat.”
The Gwen Enterprises that hold a tight grip on the Dark City’s food industry.
Their true identities were elves from another world. The Green Forest clan served me as a benefactor on the day I saved them from the rule of Beelzebub, the demon king of the other world, and they would do anything I ask of them.
In fact, when I asked the Hero Association to attack Hive before, they readily accepted my request.
Anyway, I decided to ask the elves for food and water…
“Then I have to pack a member to go with me.”
Raonjena will definitely take her. Because she wants to kill Zero more than anyone else.
“Shall I take Ignis with me?”
Having grown to level 11, she is my strongest power besides my doppelganger. Taking her would be of great help.
Then include the frame position as well…
“Jimin and Yuna pass because they have to work at the Hero Association.”
Currently, the ice queen and aqua girl pair were given a secret mission by the head of the Valencia association, so they could not leave the dark city.
“But it’s kind of funny. Faith has already fallen to hell.”
Oh, of course, the hell I’m talking about here doesn’t mean a place you can go to when you die. It is a hell where you have to live and feel infinite pain hehe.
“Gina… Are you going to go?”
I’m busy with my company’s work. To the point where I don’t have time to work for Team Steel Armor unless I take a vacation.
What kind of Royal Family kid works so much…
“I’ll just say it when all the kids get together. I’ll take all the kids who want to go.”
It suddenly became annoying to think about each member individually. I’ll just ask at once when the kids get together later tonight.
“Um… Ah, right.”
As soon as I lay down on the bed, I woke up right away. I had something on my mind, so I went outside.
*****
“Hwiyu~”
Looking inside an addiction rehab center, I blew the whistle. The addiction rehabilitation center, which was created almost haphazardly, now looks like a real rehabilitation center.
Sujeong was the only nurse at first, but now there are 10 nurses excluding Sujeong. In addition, he was still employed, and he also hired two separate specialists.
Batman’s true superpower is money. And as Batman’s brother-in-law, I am also unofficially rich enough to be counted among the top five in Dark City.
As soon as the announcement was posted, the number of applicants was full. Is money the best?
For reference, the number one salary in my addiction rehabilitation center is, of course, Sujeong. My girl is awesome
But our Sujeongie doesn’t know that she is number one in salary. This is because, without her knowledge, she makes a separate bank account for her salary and puts her real salary into it.
Later, when I propose to Sujeong, I will show this bankbook. Will you shed tears of joy?
Anyway, I approached Sujeongi coming out of my clinic.
“Sujeong-ah.”
“Huh? In… Ah, an alter ego?”
Sujeongi came out with her puzzled face and looked at the door of her clinic in turn, then nodded as if she understood.
In the treatment room, there was me (Mark O) who was set up with the [Healer] Psychic power. Even if it is not the main body or doppelganger, it can cure drug addicts.
“But what happened? If you have something to say, you should have said it earlier.”
“I came here in person because I have something serious and important to say. And I’m thinking of buying our Sujeong something delicious.”
“Is it delicious?”
“Yes. Let’s go.”
“Isn’t it lunchtime yet?”
“Uh huh! I’m the director of the rehabilitation center here. I said I’d take a nurse to eat, but who said what? And you’re the only one working here? I hired a lot of doctors and nurses for this time. Let’s go.”
“Now, wait!”
Sujeong was taken aback by my actions, but that was only for a moment. Soon she was smiling and talking about what happened with her friends and enjoying her date.
“Whoa~ I ate well.”
“Hehe. How can I eat this happily? Oh, so pretty, my baby!”
“Ugh! What’s with that tone? Ugh… It’s like a grandfather. And now you’re calling me a pig?!”
“You’re a pig? If you go outside and talk like that, will the pigs really scold you?”
Thump thump thump thump, it’ll be fucking beaten.
“Coffee?”
“Um… I have an iced americano.”
“Are you even in winter?”
“Of course! I’m dying!”
“Yo! It works.”
“Yeah!”
I high-fived Sujeongi and entered a nearby cafe. She grabbed two glasses of iced americano and sat down.
“… What is that?”
“Huh? What?”
“Is that… A cup?”
Sujeongie looked at my cup and opened her eyes wide. Her cup was a normal cup you would find in any cafe, and mine was nearly 20 times bigger than hers.
As a glutton, I cannot be satisfied with a mediocre cup!
“Then it’s a cup.”
She grabbed the cup with both hands and drank the coffee. About 15% of what she drank was gone.
“Uh…”
Looking at me and her cup with a surprised face, she smiled and drank the coffee herself. And she opened her mouth again.
“So what’s the important thing?”
“Are you interested in going outside?”
“Outside? Where outside?”
“Literally. Outside, I mean outside the Dark City.”
“… Yes?”
Sujeongi only blinked her eyes as if she hadn’t expected it at all. I explained further for her.
“Well… As you know, outside the walls surrounding Dark City is the land of monsters. It is a land of monsters full of ferocious and terrifying monsters. But there are also people living there.”
“You mean Monster Hunter?”
“That’s right. But where are the monster hunters when people live together? Of course there are people who can’t survive even a day and die without someone’s protection.”
“Uh… That’s right. Not all people have superpowers. But why are you asking me to go outside?”
“Is there a hospital there? Or is there a pharmacy? Of course, there are a lot of people who need medicine and treatment. I’m going to be out for quite some time this time, and I was wondering if you could help them.”
“Uh…”
Sujeongi did not answer easily. I understand. In the Dark City, you only have to be careful of criminals, villains, or those whose personalities are rotten.
However, they were human after all, and what lurked outside the Dark City were monsters. If you are a human, you can communicate with words, but monsters cannot communicate with words.
Sujeongi, an ordinary person, would be afraid to go out to such a dangerous land no matter how much help is needed.
However, the reason why she dared to take Sujeongi out was because she wanted to give her a chance to experience a wider world.
And like she said to Sujeong, she also checks the health of the people living in Monster Hunter Village.
They also have the jjambab that they have lived there, so they don’t have to worry too much about food. So what do they need most?
It’s just medicine.
There are only a handful of monster hunters with the superpower of a healer. When injured, it was difficult to receive professional treatment, and first aid was all that was needed.
In that situation, if I had medicines with a nurse, voila! What if it appears?
‘The power of being a monster hunter also comes into my hands.’
So far, my relationship with them has been nothing more than a fleeting relationship. I gave them a little too much, but it’s been a while since I haven’t seen them. To exaggerate, he might have forgotten me.
So this time, I was going to take this opportunity to catch Zero and completely subjugate them.
“If I go… Would it be okay?”
“Of course it’s okay. That’s why I’m proposing it to you. If you’re scared or don’t want to go, you can say no. I’m not forcing you either.”
“No, not that…”
“Huh?”
“If it’s going out of the dark city… I’m sure I’m going to do something big, but if I go, won’t that… Be a burden to my brother?”
“…”
Moved! Deep feeling oh oh oh !!!!!
Worried about becoming a burden to me! Could there be any other woman as good as this?
“There’s no way you’ll be a burden. I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you? And you don’t know me? I can summon an alter ego. Besides, there are quite a few people to go with. They’re all psychic. So I’m worried that I might become a burden now.” Don’t do it, just tell me your honest thoughts. I want to go or I don’t want to go. Don’t think about anything else.”
“Ummm…”
After thinking for a while, Sujeongi smiled bashfully and nodded.
“Honestly… I want to go there. I’ve always wondered what it’s like outside. And if there are people who are sick, I want to help them too.”
“Okay. Then Sujeong decides to go too! Bang bang bang! We’ll be leaving tomorrow morning, so get ready now. We’ll take care of the rehabilitation center as a business trip. Let’s save money on travel expenses.”
“Now, wait! You’re leaving tomorrow? So soon?”
“Didn’t they tell you to remove the horns too?”
“Yes, but this is subtracted too soon!”
“And also, please take some of my semen out of me.”
“Brother!”
Hehe.”
Her face turned red and she burst into laughter as she saw Sujeong who was shouting harshly. However, just in case, you should prepare a lot of insurance.
