Chapter 66 – 66. The Feeling of Picking Up Money on the Street
For now, I hid myself.
There is no way for you to find me unless I intentionally make a sound, so I have the advantage.
Continue detection. But it’s not just one guy.
Three. I see Well, unless you’re crazy like me, there’s no way you’d be walking around alone in broad daylight.
Three people coming this way.
But the movements are strange. It seems like it’s coming straight towards me?
I am hiding on the first floor of a one-room villa where I can never be seen in the alley.
There is no way he could have seen the sight or sound.
But it’s coming straight towards me?
The feeling is strong. There is something.
Should I move? You should check it out. Is it just a coincidence or is it something they’re aiming for?
Since they were not moving very fast, I moved to the next alley.
It’s fortunate that there are many alleys, so I can move around without being caught in the line of sight. At this distance, you won’t even be able to hear the sound.
I went about two blocks further and hid. This time, I entered the ruined single-family house and went up to the second floor of the house.
I’m glad the door is open. Detection is good, but I need to see it with my own eyes.
I don’t have much experience doing this in broad daylight, so the brightly lit surroundings were quite unfamiliar.
But there were definitely advantages. Because the other person looks bright.
I hid on the second floor of the house and looked in the direction where I felt detection. As expected, the three guys are coming straight towards me.
They were in sight. Three men. The outfit was quite unique. All three were holding the same hatchet and wearing the same red vest.
And one guy pointed the hatchet exactly where I was hiding.
Fuck… You’re detecting that bastard.
My spine stood on end. We understand the power of detection better than anyone else. Fucking skill.
Plus, two people in the group… Same vest and hatchet. At least it’s not a hastily built team.
It means that we have been working together to do this for quite some time.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
It’s not like I never thought about this situation.
Since the detection skill is a deadly attack, I had to be prepared even when the opponent had this skill.
A bunker is a place that is difficult to discover by accident unless someone is aware of its existence.
But its only weakness is detection. If you use detection within the range, you are bound to get caught.
That was the reason why the surrounding area was cleaned up so thoroughly. This neighborhood itself needs to be made like a dead neighborhood, so they don’t get into it.
Unless you are overflowing with coins like me and keep eating potions, you cannot maintain detection.
We had to make people feel that it would be a loss to continue using detection in an empty neighborhood.
There is no other way than that. Detection is such a mess.
Good… From now on, it’s psychological warfare. It’s time to play hide and seek.
I have two cards.
There are two skills. And that there are three of them.
I don’t know if Detection Man’s detection is his first skill or his second skill, but either way, they can’t disperse.
The moment they disperse, detection becomes useless.
Detection without peer identification. That’s why they can never disperse.
And the two people who must continue to receive information verbally from the detector man also cannot move carelessly.
In the end, it is impossible to form a siege network.
And they don’t know that I have two skills.
This could be a very powerful weapon.
With just my actions, I can put their guard down and, conversely, I can also gain information.
He ran away.
‘I also have detection. I can clearly see your movements. ‘If you want to catch it, catch it.’
You can tell a lot by their reaction when they find out I have detection skills.
If they are excited and chase after you, they don’t know the existence of the second skill.
There is only one opponent, but the skill is detection? So it’s natural to get excited and narrow the distance. You won’t feel afraid of skills.
But what if they continue to carefully pursue me? That’s terrifying.
If you know that you can have more than one skill, you will never let down your guard. Then I will slowly be hunted down.
I ran away out of ignorance, hoping that they would chase me.
I ran away with all my might, making no noise and being careful not to be exposed to sight.
Ruler! The skill you guys discovered is detection! No need to worry about getting hit by a skill! So catch me! Come on!
The three guys’ movements became faster.
Oh, oh. Thank you for being so stupid.
I am thankful that no one has mastered the skill. Thank you for giving us our daily bread today.
I slowed down my running away little by little.
The action of desperately hiding in an alley was shown, but in the end, the distance shortened.
When we could see each other’s faces, we shouted loudly from the other side.
“Hey! Don’t run away! I have something to tell you! We won’t kill you!”
What kind of bullshit is this? These days, bullshit is fascinating.
But I was curious. I naturally widened the distance and then turned around.
When I stop, they also stop and catch their breath.
“Ugh. Ugh. Why are you so fast? Hey! Don’t run away, listen to us! We won’t kill you.”
“Heo-eok. Heo-eok. That… Heo-eok. How can you believe it!”
“You! Your skill detects people around you?”
I just looked at them with a stern expression. Fuck? How did know? With a facial expression.
A man who keeps talking as if he is excited.
“I know because we also have people with detection skills. We are gathering people like you on the team. Your detection skills are very good! And it is difficult to live alone. Come join our team! Then you can be treated well and stay safe!”
Oh my. Look at this. There are some people whose heads are spinning?
There were many things in the man’s story that stimulated curiosity. This… I think he will tell me the information about the technique on his own without having to torture him.
“T… Team?”
“Yes, team. We are a team of over 30 people in total. People with skills like you can be treated well. So join us.”
And… What are you guys doing? Are you sane? Living together as a group in a world like this? And that’s over 30 people? Really?
“They say people with detection skills are exploited…”
The man continues to talk excitedly as he shows a timid voice and a hint of interest.
“No! This guy also has detection skills, but he’s doing well with us. Jincheol. Are you being exploited?”
“Hey. We don’t have anything like that. Like you, I was traveling alone and then joined here. And now I’m living here with satisfaction. So, let’s join too. I’m saying this because I’m not like other people.”
Ruler… Now show a conflicted expression…
“Maybe it’s just him… Or maybe other people don’t.”
“No, that’s not true. Right now, Jincheol is the only one who can detect, so I’m overdoing it a bit, but if you come, the two of you can take turns searching. Then it will be much easier. Hey, think about it carefully. Detection skills are effective when multiple people are together. It’s getting bigger, so you don’t have to run away like that from now on.”
“If there are more than 30 people, and you are the only one to detect… I think that’s being overused. It’s no different from exploitation.”
“So I’m asking you to come and help. You won’t regret it.”
You speak so well. So he’s the only one who can detect it?
The funniest thing about that man’s words is that he is speaking from the heart.
Well, since detection is not shared and is a skill that requires information to be conveyed verbally, it would be difficult to threaten or exploit it.
That’s why I put so much effort into making a scouting offer.
If I had only the detection skill, I might have been tempted by their offer.
Because there was no loss.
“… Is there a place where 30 people can live?”
“Of course. Have you ever heard of a logistics center?”
I was shocked inside.
The story of the logistics center comes from a completely different place?
“There… Is it really there?”
“Okay. Have you heard of it?”
“Isn’t she… Jeong Se-hee? She’s about my age, and she uses charms.”
The man’s eyes become sad at my words.
“How do you know a witch?”
“Witch?”
“Yeah. That damn bitch. Are you in the same group as that bitch?”
“Are you a gangster? Are you kidding me? I’m a bitch who deserves a beating. A gangster.”
The man who heard me paused for a moment and laughed.
“Hang on… Give me a beating… Kekekekeke. Hey, you have some sense. Do you like the rhyme? I want to at least put a necklace on it.”
“Are you hostile to that bitch…?”
“Ha. Hostile? Is there a place that isn’t hostile to that bitch? How much did we lose because of that fucking bitch? It’s not just us. There are a lot of people who lost money.”
“Really? How many are there? Well… Judging from the way she acts, she’s a no-nonsense person, so she has no choice but to make enemies…”
“Hey.”
“Yes?”
“It looks like you have a bit of a grudge. Join us. Then we can share detailed information and seek revenge together.”
Ah… I won’t tell you anymore.
It doesn’t matter. Because I already know everything I want to know. Shall we summarize now?
“Um… What’s the name of the team there?”
“Us? Struggle solidarity.”
… That’s crazy.
I put the three guys to sleep.
I recognized you from the time you wore a fucking red vest.
Look at that terrible name… Because you have that kind of sense, you laugh at my drip.
Anyway, I’m grateful to them. Thank you to the people who suddenly appeared and gave me a lot of information.
And now he will give me various things and coins. I’m really so thankful that I’m about to cry.
I took off their vests. And I also brought a hatchet.
I also searched my pockets. I knew it. A card key with an entry pass written on it appeared.
And folded papers and miscellaneous items.
First, I put it all in one place. Since the story about the logistics center has come up, I have to search and check everything.
Now it’s time to say goodbye.
The first detection skill user I encountered. Surprisingly, what I thought worked well.
When everyone doesn’t know that there can be two skills, we should have fun using them…
The machete was swung like a madman’s knife.
[11,332 coins were obtained.]
[9,565 coins were obtained.]
[9,762 coins obtained.]
Is it because they had detection skills? The coins are great. It’s an unexpected windfall.
If there is a place that delivers chicken, I feel like ordering and eating chicken.
Ah… I just thought about it. Fuck.
Even if the world is ruined for some reason, if someone opens a chicken restaurant, wouldn’t that house become a sanctuary?
No cub can fight in there.
I can’t even use my skills.
If it really exists, I think I can help suppress the guys who are really resident and causing trouble.
Ha… Let’s not give a shit. I’m in a good mood, so I should go quickly and hug Seunghee.
