Chapter 23 – Rebellion
“No, Ji Sang-ah… No… It won’t be…”
Breathing up to the tip of your chin.
Kang Ha-rin was in a hurry to find his cell phone even while moving his legs restlessly, but the cell phone was nowhere to be seen.
Maybe I was too excited, because I was heading home, throwing away my phone in the branch manager’s office.
‘Kang Se-ah, your boyfriend is a piece of shit ㅋ ‘
The text she had seen earlier flickered in her mind.
Clear evidence that someone laid a hand on their precious son.
Those words, which had many meanings, confused his mind with the conclusion that they kept coming back to one.
‘ No… That can’t be. ‘
I tried to comfort myself, but to no avail.
The seed of anxiety already settled in the lake of mind was causing a huge whirlpool.
‘ 2:04····. ‘
As soon as he thought of the next letter, Ha-rin Kang finally felt something boil.
It was something that she could hardly take out because she always had room for it.
Yeah it was a life
The thing she hadn’t even taken out in the fight was growing little by little thanks to the huge whirlpool.
To Kang Ha-rin, that recording file was like the Maginot Line.
If I opened that Pandora’s box, it would have felt like the pillars of my life had been uprooted, so the backbone that I was barely enduring would crumble like a sand castle at any moment.
‘Ahhhhh. ‘
Ha-rin Kang, who had been thinking about his son’s safety, arrived at the house before long and entered the house without hesitation.
“Heavenly child…!”
Calling her son’s name with a very nervous face, Ha-rin Kang searched the whole house as if she were trying to catch it.
From the living room to the kitchen and the daughters’ room.
Her desperate hope that her son would be home was shattered after just 10 minutes.
The son was nowhere to be seen.
” ····Under····. “
As usual, the son who seemed to welcome him home disappeared without a trace.
The way she looked at her mother and smiled cutely. Egg rolls and kimchi stew in the kitchen.
Daily life that seemed consistent has now collapsed.
All of this was possible because of the presence of a son.
A sense of emptiness followed the sense of emptiness.
For him, the pillar of a son was the meaning of life and the center of this universe.
Just as the earth rotates while looking at the sun, the son was like the sun and was another heart.
What should the earth do without the heart of the sun?
Like a planet left alone in a dark universe, Kang Ha-rin, whose light had disappeared, only felt cold.
“My son… My lovely son… Ah ah… The earthly child… Ah ah…”
A great cold wave hit the Earth without the sun.
Plants and animals all froze to death at the constantly lowered temperature, and even mankind was at a crossroads for survival.
“Heuuuuu…”
Even natural disasters have not left the Earth alone.
Earthquakes and tsunamis were not uncommon, and volcanoes erupted, covering the sky with volcanic ash.
The hot lava soaked the earth’s crust as if it were burning, and mankind died one by one along with the bases of life.
” . . . “
The earth called Kang Ha-rin was eventually destroyed.
Something else was immediately filled in the place where only the cold earth and darkness coexisted.
Just as a cold planet starts heating up again, life and anger were saving the earth.
Life was as hot and thick as lava, sharp and cold as the cold earth.
” ···· Mr. Kang Ha-rin?”
An asteroid appeared right in front of the uncontrollable planet’s eyes.
In order to calm this boiling anger, I had to release my power somewhere, but it was like a good prey.
Kang Ha-rin moved her body without delay and grabbed Kim Myung-wun by the scruff of the neck.
It must have happened before he blinked an eye, so his glasses suddenly fell off and Kim Myung-wun struggled to breathe even before he could figure out what was going on.
“Keek… Kkeok-… This… Go… Let go… Kuk…”
“Mr. Kang Ha-rin, we made a mistake! First of all, let’s leave this out… The situation… It’s big…”
The strength of her grip to lightly lift the two men seemed amazing, but from Shin Do-won and Kim Myung-woon’s point of view, it was like a god of death.
” .
“Keek…
“Where is the ground?”
Despite her cold words, the two of them just struggled as if it was difficult to breathe.
She narrowed her eyes, relaxed her hands slightly, and Shin Do-won and Kim Myung-woon fell as if they were falling.
“Kukkuk-hook-hook-kelluk- Ugh…”
“Chuck- Kelluk-“
As they breathed heavily to inject air into their lungs, they soon saw the figure of the god of death in front of them.
It was because those cold, empty eyes seemed to contain an immeasurable amount of innate anger.
In the end, the two of them knelt down on their knees and put their heads on the ground, crying.
“I’m sorry… Black- I don’t know where Ji Sang is… Hehe-“
Just before she finished speaking, Kang Ha-rin, who had just clenched her fist, was about to punch Shin Do-won, who was banging her head on the ground.
“Kang Ha-rin! Stop it!”
Along with a familiar voice, a hand made of scrap metal pretended to grab Kang Ha-rin’s wrist, but immediately there was a sound of something being torn and a dull blow hitting the inside.
“Barrier!”
[Yes, Master.]
“Do whatever it takes to stop it. A little please!”
[Command understanding complete.]
In an instant, something from a large number of people filled the inside, and Shin Eun-seo, using those people as a shield, rescued Shin Do-won and Kim Myung-wun.
“Ah… Are you going to disturb me?”
“Kang Ha-rin! Wake up!”
“There is no Jijigi… It is gone!”
More than half of the people were already distorted beyond recognition.
There were only 3 people left in the group, but they were not able to run easily as if they sensed the danger.
[Let Barrier judge. Any further fight is pointless. Based on 0% chance of winning. I think it’s right for the master to get out of here quickly.]
‘What’s really going on? ‘
Shin Eun-seo shook her head when she saw Kang Ha-rin, who destroyed her own weapons with pure power without using his skills.
Kang Ha-rin, who was able to defeat even S-class hunters, was so weak that he was able to kill them with less than a piece of paper or even an ant.
A skill that cannot be solved even if the main body of the barrier goes out.
It was just right to hit the rock with an egg.
” Wake. “
[Emergency! The master’s dangerous behavior has been detected by the barrier. Activate the defense protector!]
“Barrier, it’s okay. Don’t do it.”
[Follow the master’s command.]
Shin Eun-seo stood in front of her excited Kang Ha-rin, and Kang Ha-rin looked at her and said disapprovingly.
“Get out of the way! Ji-sang has to go find him! Ji-sang-ah… Ah…”
‘ I thought I would calm down a little even if I suffered a loss… ‘
The group controlled by the barrier was the only thing that stopped Kang Ha-rin.
In order to control Kang Ha-rin’s anger a little bit.
In order to control her, who had reached the limit of her anger, a little relief was needed, but the Barrier Corps played that role.
To put it simply, it was like drinking a sip of water while angry.
Her anger briefly subsided, but anxiety soon took its place.
Thanks to that, the possibility of replacing that anxiety with anger increased, so quick action was needed.
“What’s different if you rush into a subject you don’t even know where you are?”
” ····What····? “
“Why? Am I wrong? That’s right. If you go out without knowing anything, where do you think Sangji will pop out?”
” You····. “
“Ha-yeah, just leave. Like a fool who can’t make sense of things, just look for it if you can. I won’t help you even if I die.”
Harin Kang, who was shaking her hand, sat down and started to shed tears.
Her shock therapy seemed to be surprisingly effective, so her Shin Eun-seo let out a small sigh and began to soothe her.
*
“Tell me exactly when and how it disappeared without skipping a single one. That way, your penalty for failing the request may be reduced.”
At Shin Eun-seo’s words, Shin Do-won nodded her head with a firm expression and bowed her head to Kang Ha-rin, who was sitting in a daze.
“First of all, I’ll start by apologizing to Ha-Rin Kang. That’s the duty.
“Wrong?”
“Yes, Mr. Ji-sang… No, I will call him Ji-sang. Ji-sang-i complained to us that he was very frustrated, and we were saddened to see that.”
Shin Do-won, who sighed lightly, spoke again.
“At the same time, we were also exhausted from the continuous work, and in the end, we conceived a plan to go out.”
“What is it?”
“It’s using the Stealth Orb.”
“What if it’s a hidden orb?”
“Yes, it was an insignificant item that beginners often use on low-level monsters to erase traces, but we managed to escape with it.”
“Is it because of the bodyguard?”
“That’s right. We used that item to forestall a disturbance.”
“Where did you get that marble?”
“That was an item I always carried around. I kept a few of them just in case, but I happened to have the opportunity to use them.”
“Go ahead.”
“Yes, Myungwoon and I went out with Sangjii, played enough to each other, and then we agreed to go back, and we parted ways. Of course, the two of us played until late before coming home.
The face of the Shin Do-won, who had been talking openly, suddenly darkened.
“And when we returned home, all the security companies were attacked by the intruder, and when we went up to the house, Jisang-i was nowhere to be seen.”
“Are you sure you didn’t come back?”
“There’s a high probability of that. Jijigi really wanted to go out. She wouldn’t have just come home after playing for a day.”
“Then…They went missing outside and it’s been like this for over a week…”
“Yes, I’ve been running around looking for Ji Sangi, but I haven’t had any income… I really don’t have an face…”
“Thank you for answering honestly. First of all, we will not suspend your qualifications as hunters for the time being, but until this request is resolved, we recommend that you refrain from working as hunters for the time being and stay home. I will call you again.”
” All right. “
Kim Myung-un and Shin Do-won left the house with their heads bowed, and Shin Eun-seo looked at Kang Ha-rin with a sigh.
Lost in her spirit, she only lowered her head, but Shin Eun-seo, who was uncomfortable with her appearance, tapped her on the shoulder and continued her words.
“Jijiji will be fine.”
” ····Okay? “
” Huh····. “
“The text still flickers.”
” . . . “
“I feel like my heart is torn to pieces just by imagining that bastard ever laid hands on Ji Sang-i. Ah… Haha-“
The intense life bloomed again.
As if an active volcano was reactivated, Kang Ha-rin’s eyes seemed to be stained with madness, and Shin Eun-seo swallowed her saliva.
“・・・Did you find the clues?”
Shin Eun-seo sighed at her cold words, which came back to life with eyes that looked like they would die at any moment.
“Even if you tell me if you find it… It should be obvious how you come out?”
” Say. “
“Kang Ha-rin.”
“I barely tolerated it before. But since you did something to me… But not anymore. Tell me quickly. I really feel like I’m going crazy.”
Watching her speak with her smirking and trembling hands, Shin Eun-seo continued her words with her subdued eyes.
“Promise me one thing. Don’t kill me.”
“Heh-why am I? Do I have an obligation to keep such an asshole alive? That asshole touched my son. She’s worth dying for.”
“If a strong hunter kills a person…”
“Don’t you know that. Hunter? Don’t fuck with it. There’s nothing more precious than my son. For that SSS-class son, it’s just a cheap façade.”
It was.
She looked at her own face, though, and she had to put up with it for once.
Perhaps she had been aware of her own intentions since the time her barrier’s corps stopped her.
And now there is no more chance.
To live that she would have no mercy in her hands if anyone stopped them.
It was the same feeling she felt when she saved Kang Ha-rin from an anti-humanity research institute, so she felt it with her whole body even without saying a word.
“…He must be at least S-class or higher. This amount of information…Yes, he must have used the Dark Information Center.”
“I don’t care about that. Tell me where you are.”
” This. “
Shin Eun-seo waved her cell phone to Kang Ha-rin.
“I listened to the recording on the way back… Whoa- haven’t you heard it yet?”
” ····Uh····. “
“Nice job… Don’t listen. Just… Ha- no, can you stay? Barrier needs to listen to the recording to find it…”
” ····It’s okay. Turn it on····.”
“Are you really okay…?”
” ····Huh····. “
Even though her body was shaking, she seemed to show her stubbornness, so Shin Eun-seo finally pressed her recording file again.
“Barrier please.”
[Hunter voice analysis ready.]
– Hoohhhhh.
– Haaaaah…
– Hey…
The woman’s obscene moan struck Kang Ha-rin’s hearing, and at the same time, when she heard her familiar voice, the shock forced her to sit down.
“Harin!”
“Aaaaa!
Shin Eun-seo got goosebumps wondering if this is really how people go crazy.
Because that moaning sound was like a comprehensive gift set containing everything to live, anger, madness and pain.
– Yes····Eh···· So···· please····.
I heard a familiar voice again, and I automatically listened.
He looked so sorry for his son, who was panting for the pleasure of a dirty bitch.
– Wait a minute- Now- here we go. Then, according to your wish… Will you ejaculate?
Harin Kang grabbed her head.
She thought she could hold on, but the knife was more delicate and sharper than she thought.
– I’m dating… I’m going to date… Heh…!
“Ah… Ah ah…”
– Uhm- The pronunciation is weird. Come on – follow me. I will be Yoo Na-yeon’s boyfriend.
– I···· is··· Nayeon Yun···· boyfriend ah···· will become··· ah····huh····.
– Well done.
“Yoo Na-yeon? Yun Na-yeon? Yu…
[Hunter voice analysis complete. Retrieving data… Found a matching Hunter. We will show you the information.]
Barrier opened a window to see if the analysis was complete, and Shin Eun-seo quickly stopped recording.
Her expression was one of all sorts of resentment and anger, but this time, at the same time, the momentum for no reason pressed her again.
“Kuh… Harin-ah… Calm down.”
“Yoo Na-yeon. Oh… You look like this…? You made a fucking face and seduced our son to make it dirty?”
After thoroughly checking the information, she sent her eyes to Shin Eun-seo, and she, who was having a hard time because of her momentum, continued to speak with difficulty to the barrier.
“Bae… Lee… Uh.”
[Yes, Master.]
“Give me your address… I’ll approve it.”
[Executing the branch manager’s authority, I will reveal Yun Na-yeon’s address to Kang Ha-rin.]
Harin Kang, who saw the window of the barrier, left the building without looking back even after standing with her cell phone, and Shin Eun-seo sat down as her legs gave out.
“I’ll ask you, earthly child.”
The way he spoke with a bitter smile seemed somehow saddened.
