Chapter 18 – Chapter 18
I’ve been waiting for the past six hours, and I’ve figured out various information.
The trailer owned by the Diamond Guild is equipped with equipment as well as a simple shower facility.
I heard that when the Awakened members of the Diamond Guild take off their suits from the trailer after the expedition, they go to a place like a sauna again after washing their bodies.
So, I told the civil servant father in advance.
“After the rescuers come out, please guide them to the shower room right away. No matter how small it is, a shower room in the management building is better than a trailer.”
Then the middle-aged civil servant said that it would have happened even if I hadn’t said it.
There is only one shower booth installed on the trailer.
In order to shorten the time, someone from the rescue team was supposed to use the shower room in the management office anyway, and my plan would come true only when Min Hyuk-joo became the party.
Min Hyuk-joo said that he would be the first to wash himself, regardless of seniors and juniors.
The opportunity came right away to the point where it was funny that I was so worried.
The situation continued so naturally that Min Hyuk-ju headed for the shower in the administration building.
I quietly followed him.
“Hey, where are you going?”
But, of course, the woman came to talk to her earlier.
I have no choice but to cover it up with lies.
“Oh, my stomach hurts. Aren’t you busy? People from that company came out in droves.”
“Ah… Yes. I’m busy.”
Feeling offended at him, he turned around and walked away.
Why are you doing that?
People are busy dying.
I noticed that she was walking away from me and hurried to the room where her shower was.
Judging from the sound of water already coming from inside the shower, it seemed that Min Hyuk-joo had also gone inside wearing a suit like me.
It’s much easier to take off than the all-in-one C-class suit, but the A-class suit is also a style that fits tightly to the skin, so it would take 30 seconds to take it off.
And no matter how short the shower is, it will last for one minute.
Take at least 1 minute and 30 seconds.
A decision must be made within that time.
The lock on the shower room door was already broken.
I immediately contacted Kim Chan-il.
Do what you asked for earlier. As quickly as possible.
I was waiting for my senior to quickly do what I asked for.
My heart is beating.
I gave notice before entering the building, but why did this senior take so long?
1 second, 1 second, it felt like my blood was drying up.
The mouth was burned tightly.
Pod!
The senior finally completed what I asked for.
Min Hyuk-ju, who was taking a shower inside, spat out curse words.
“No, what the hell is this all of a sudden? Why is it suddenly dark? Huh?”
Blackout.
The water in the shower was still coming out, but you wouldn’t see anything because of the power outage.
I asked my seniors in advance to turn off the electricity at the administration building at the timing I wanted.
For six hours, I planned in various ways to avoid being noticed by others, including the location and route.
Rather, the most difficult thing was to convince my senior, but he didn’t seem to have lived a very good life, so money solved everything in the end.
I said that I would tell you why I did this later, but now I have to think about what to cover up.
Anyway, the senior cut off the electricity in the management building as I requested, and now it was time for me to move.
I shouted with a different voice.
It is a voice that I have already recorded several times with my smartphone and practiced by playing it again.
“Sorry. Awakener. I’m an employee at the management office, but it seems to be a power outage. We’ll fix it soon, so don’t worry. It happens often.”
“Okay, fix it quickly!”
Character betting.
“So, it looks like there’s a short circuit in the shower. Turn off the shower and stay still. You risk getting an electric shock.”
There was a lot of swearing and cursing inside, to the extent that it was hard to hear with sober mind.
“Then I’ll go in and take a look and then leave.”
With permission, I opened the door to the shower room.
The window in the shower room and the window in the room connected to the shower room were all covered with a thick cloth.
A situation where the light doesn’t leak so you can’t see anything.
Min Hyuk Joo will never notice who I am.
I cautiously entered the shower room.
I pretended to check something with my smartphone’s flashlight, then headed back to the entrance.
Knowing where to escape is the iron rule of criminals.
I was feeling like I was a thief.
I simulated several times in advance so that the light of the smartphone would not reveal my face, so I probably won’t get caught.
“Checking done. Now I’ll go out and re-upload the electricity. I’m really sorry.”
“Noisy! Hurry up and turn on the electricity!”
Feel free to think anywhere.
I smiled secretly in the dark and pointed the flash on my smartphone at Min Hyuk-ju’s face.
It’s dazzling and glows again.
I moderately ignored it and gently reached out my hand.
My fingertips briefly brushed somewhere on Min Hyuk-ju’s arm.
That brief moment. That was enough.
‘OFF’
I turned around and got out of the shower.
Your Awoken life ends here.
Fall into the abyss and feel the frustration, motherfucker.
He was screaming loudly in the shower room, as if he had sensed something wrong with his body, so he shouted a word.
‘Didn’t you get an electric shock? Stay still. It’s going to be a big deal.’
I chuckled inwardly and left the room.
And heading straight to the bathroom, I called my senior and said.
Now you can turn on the breaker.
* * *
When I came out, I acted as if nothing had happened.
All the lights at the entrance to the management office must have gone out, so the people outside were also aware of the power outage.
However, it was acting as if nothing had happened, perhaps because the electricity came back on within a minute.
Because nothing actually happened.
Except for one person.
A senior approached me.
Why did you make them do this? Is it really true that they only give you 500,000 won for something like this?
I warned him that 500,000 won would be nothing if he was found out if he talked like that in his senior’s ears.
Only 500,000 won.
Well, right now, it’s money that can be earned by working for days, but it’s only 50.
With only 500,000 won, the positions of senior Kim and I have changed like this.
Because he is my shooter, between the two of us, the senior was always looking down on me, but that unchanging relationship only turned into 50.
Do you call this a hypocrisy?
No, my relationship with Min Hyuk-joo, who was an awakened person, might be closer to the bottom line.
“Whew~”
Anyway so tired
Why is it so hard to send away just one unlucky guy?
He’s such a scumbag that he wants to run into the shower right now and step on him, but he shouldn’t be found out about the fact that I know he’s become a normal person.
It feels like something is relieved of stress, and it feels like something is lacking.
“Hmm…”
This ability, now possessed, did not seem suitable for use in this way in the future.
Rather, as I thought, it seemed much more useful to bring an Awoken with excellent potential and grow them to my side.
The words I currently have are Baek Hwa-yeon and Lee Dong-geul.
Kim I-sol has already been sent away, and Jang-yong passes because he is a man.
But will Kim Yi-sol and Baek Hwa-yeon grow up as well as I thought?
The two seemed to have a problem somewhere.
Either mentally or intellectually.
And those two alone aren’t enough.
At the very least, in order to clear a C-class dungeon, I think I need to go around and expand my network of female Awakened people.
Okay.
There is also a way to bring young students full of potential in advance by observing the academy classes with the authority of the supporter company…
Oh, that sounds like a bit of a problem.
First of all, the company was not good enough, and the money to sponsor was also a problem.
Competition from large corporations will be fierce.
Then again, the most urgent task is to make money, but in order to do that, you have to grow Lee Dong-geul and Baek Hwa-yeon again.
“Ah… It’s not like a squirrel running around on a treadmill…”
Let’s stop thinking like this today.
Isn’t it a happy day?
Didn’t Min Hyuk-joo succeed in taking revenge on that bastard?
What kind of expression will Shin Ha-neul make when he sees Min Hyuk-ju, who has lost his ability?
Two years, I have to see with my own two eyes how miserable they are.
It’s just a bit of a pity that I can’t.
The surroundings became increasingly quiet.
The interview with the chief rescuer seemed to be going on, but as soon as it was over, the reporters dispersed.
Just in case, I took my senior and ran away to a place where I wouldn’t run into Min Hyuk-ju.
In fact, I wanted to properly check the face of the desperate guy, but safety is first.
As famous as he is, if something changes, rumors will spread quickly.
If you just check the rescue team leaving tomorrow morning, you will be able to see what he is doing.
My senior and I contacted the company and the rescue team said they came out empty-handed.
Manager Lim, who hadn’t even left work yet and was waiting for us to contact the company, told us to stay at a nearby hotel because the company would take care of the expenses.
It’s not something to like.
I was told to come to the gate again tomorrow and wait.
“Fuck. It’s Saturday tomorrow.”
“What can I do? I think I just went on an expedition.”
“If it’s a long-term expedition, the next time you rest is a long vacation. We have to go to work on Monday.”
“Now is not the time to worry about that. If the company goes bankrupt, where do you go?”
Surely…
I don’t know about seniors, but it won’t be easy for me, who still has zero performance, to go to another company.
Since you’re young, you’ll be told to look for something else to the point of getting a scab on your ear.
I was very fortunate to have been successful in getting a job in this company.
“And think about team leader An So-ra or Kim Mi-yeon in the dungeon.”
Well, it wasn’t a situation to laugh at.
Senior Ahn was a senior I always wanted to work with.
As I became the team leader, the chances of that happening became slim.
Also, Mi-yeon Kim was my motive for joining the company, but she was the only one who became the team leader, so my heart was always heavy.
“But what if our car was smashed?”
“No Nandle. I’ll pay you in diamonds.”
While we exchanged a few more meaningless words, a call taxi arrived and we were about to head to downtown Suwon.
But someone grabbed my clothes.
“Whoa!”
I wondered if Min Hyuk-joo would do that, so I turned around in surprise.
“Kang Jeong-hyeok. What crime did you commit? What do you want to be surprised about?”
It was a woman standing there.
The woman we talked to earlier, who plays the Diamond Guild’s smoking manual.
There were so many words to describe her, but I didn’t even know her name.
“There was no response even after I waited, so I’m here to talk first. People from our company are waiting in Suwon today. Jung Hyuk is like that too, right?”
“Ah yes.”
“Then why don’t we have dinner together?”
“Yes?”
“What a surprise! Let’s eat together.”
I was stunned by the sudden situation and didn’t know what to do.
I thought it was cute for a while, but suddenly asked for a date?
I noticed senior Kim standing next to me for no reason.
But I wonder if the senior noticed it, and he told me as he got on the call taxi.
“I’ll get a room and send you the location… You know that our company is poor, so you can’t get a separate room, right? If you’re going to sleep somewhere else, you have to pay for it. Then I’ll go, so have a good time. I’m an envious bastard. .”
The senior took a taxi alone and left.
All the civil servants went into the management building to see if they had to wait because it was an emergency, and the people from other companies had already left.
The only thing left in this place is me, this woman, and the wrecked cars.
“I’m sorry. The senior is mean.”
“It’s okay. I’m not a child, so I’m not kidding. Rather, what you said to me earlier is much worse.”
.
What did I say?
Ah, why did you massage my breasts after seeing my naked body?
I burst out laughing, and the woman in front of me, who was looking at me, also started laughing.
At first, he had a cold impression, but now he shows quite a variety of expressions.
I thought it would be nice because this situation was unfamiliar and embarrassing, but I thought I should get out of here for now.
“The… Shall I call a taxi?”
“No. I just walk a little bit. Suwon is not rural, so if I walk a little bit, I’ll get a taxi.”
So we started walking.
And still, I didn’t even know the name of the girl walking next to me.
