Episode 259: Chase (1)

* * *

Phew!

“A cub like this X god!”

“Ugh!”

“Lift your head, kid!”

Snap!

“Ugh!”

“I sent you to tail me, so that I could get caught tailing you and expose you, you punk?”

“Crunch… … .”

“You were threatened and now you’re apologizing? Are you in your right mind?”

“Captain. That is the Master’s order… … .”

“You are my direct subordinate. Do you think I raised you to bow down to anyone? Why live? Why don’t you just bite your tongue and die? Why live? Do you have the courage to apologize, but not the courage to commit suicide?”

“I’m sorry, Captain!”

Around that time.

Before reporting to Jang Si-hwan, Kim Hee-woon, who had come to see Chae Gwan-hyeong, was being beaten unilaterally.

Blood flowing from his burst lip and broken teeth soaked Kim Hee-woon’s entire face.

“You threw away your shoes, kid!”

Chae Gwan-hyung threw the luxury shoes he was wearing at Kim Hee-woon’s face.

Kim Hee-woon thought that Chae Gwan-hyung’s reaction was his ‘true feelings’ of caring for and taking care of him.

Chae Gwan-hyung had different thoughts.

It was just a hurt pride.

A ‘tool’ is an object that has meaning when it functions as its owner desires.

Scissors that can’t cut things.

A fruit that cannot be peeled.

Will it be useful?

None. It would be right to throw away such tools. They have no value.

Kim Hee-woon was just like that right now.

If the person who was sent to follow you can’t do it, isn’t he not worth living? He should be discarded.

“I’m sorry, Captain… … .”

“There, you should have either killed that bastard Shin Kang-hoo or given up on him. Ha… … This is so frustrating.”

Boom! Boom!

Chae Gwan-hyung slammed the desk.

The desk that had received his wrath eventually could not withstand it and shattered into pieces. That was how great Chae Gwan-hyung’s anger was.

Chae Gwan-hyung, whose heart had calmed down a little, asked Kim Hee-woon, wondering if his way of venting his anger had worked.

“Tell me how you got caught.”

“That is… … .”

Kim Hee-woon recounted a series of events that occurred while he was tailing Kang-hoo.

Throughout the conversation, Chae Gwan-hyung had the same reaction. He looked at Kim Hee-woon with a pitiful expression and sighed.

But after hearing it, I got the feeling that Kim Hee-woon had no choice but to suffer.

Even though Kim Hee-woon failed to complete his mission, he was never one of those subordinates who lied to himself.

His word is trustworthy.

If so, it becomes a given that Kang-hoo has the ability to teleport and monitor the rear.

“For now, you stay in check. I’ll talk to Si-hwan. I guess we’ll have to take care of that little punk, Shin-gang-hoo. How dare you disrespect our guild’s hunters? This fucking punk… … .”

Chae Gwan-hyung’s reaction to expressing his emotions without holding back was hostile.

From the beginning, Chae Gwan-hyung was not happy with the fact that Jang Si-hwan was interested in Kang-hu.

Even so, he’s just a low-level assassin who knows how to use tricks.

Why would he offer to recruit someone and secretly tail them while telling them not to fight?

If you were to tell them to either go and beat you to death and join the Purification Guild, or die, that would be the choice.

“Because you keep going down low in the guild, that kid keeps climbing up high without knowing how high the sky is. A guy like that needs to have his mind reformed. F*ck.”

Chae Gwan-hyung nervously put a cigarette in his mouth and immediately left his house.

And then, as if the fever was rising again, he turned around and shouted at Kim Hee-woon.

“Get out, you little shit!”

His subordinates who failed their mission.

I didn’t even want to look at it.

I thought it was mercy enough that they stopped at this point.

* * *

By that time, Kang-hoo was about 5km from Ground Zero, in the northern part of Gyeonggi Province.

The reason Kang-hoo came here was to pass through Ground Zero and enter North Korean territory.

There was only one reason. It was to create an opportunity to make a contract with the constellation of ‘Angel of the Battlefield’.

Currently, Kang-hoo has 2 additional main constellation slots left.

Even if one was left strategically, there was no reason to leave two spaces.

So, before it is too late, I came north to make a contract with the Angel Constellation of the Battlefield.

Once you begin the training of the Dark Sanctuary’s spirit body, you will no longer be able to make a contract with a constellation related to divine power.

At that time, it would become impossible to make a contract with the Angel Constellation of the Battlefield even if you wanted to.

I was planning to see the results this time.

And no matter how much I thought about it, it seemed much better for me than for Elizabeth.

Of course, the consent or intention of the parties that will be obtained in the future is not important at all, because it is a future that the parties themselves do not even know about.

‘I’m going to get sick of crossbreeds.’

The method to attract the attention of the battle angel is simple.

It kills a lot of hybrids.

There is no set number.

Just kill as many as you can. It’s like they’re crazy about exterminating hybrids.

Of course, this will also lead to you facing the Queen of the Crows. It will not be an easy challenge.

“Could you please wait a little longer? It takes time to adjust the output. As you know… … it’s illegal modification.”

Kang-hoo was at a bike shop buying a bike he needed to enter North Korea.

I’ll just ride it when I go anyway.

Since I was planning to return via teleportation when I came, I had requested that it be modified to produce maximum output.

This is because there are colonies of hybrids living in groups all the way to the northern part of South Pyongan Province.

Since the journey from here to there was never smooth, renovation was essential.

“Please hurry.”

Thud!

Kang-hoo threw a bundle of 50,000 won bills. The motivated seller’s hands became busy.

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo watched news about Hunter on the TV in the shop.

【The National Police Agency today released an official statement, declaring that it will launch an all-out war against the Abyss criminal organization.

[Let’s watch the press conference of Chief of Police Kang Hyo-tae.]

The video following the anchor’s guidance showed Chief of the National Police Agency Kang Hyo-tae himself holding a press conference.

This character was also used as the face madam in the original work.

The main character, Jang Si-hwan, treated him well and used him to his advantage by teasing him appropriately.

Even now, there is no change in that position, and Kang Hyo-tae seemed to be giving strength to the statement.

The following content was an exception with a bad meaning.

It was said that, for the war against the abyss, not only Seoul but also local police forces would be mobilized.

Of course, it is true that the influence of local police agencies has been significantly reduced, but their deterrent power has not been completely absent.

But further reduction of power there was tantamount to openly advertising the lack of security.

It’s a difficult decision to make unless you’re a nerd. Those who are supposedly elites would never make such a choice.

There must have been pressure from the Purification Guild. To be exact, there must have been strong pressure from Jang Si-hwan.

‘What can a bell do? All it can do is jingle loudly.’

I can fully understand the police department’s blunder. Of course, I can’t agree with it.

【The Haeyoung Guild also released an official statement today, stating that they will assist the Jeonghwa Guild in its crackdown on criminal organizations.】

‘You’re really wagging your tail.’

Haeyoung Guild knows when to join and when to leave.

It seems like he wants to receive lots of love from Jang Si-hwan at this time.

If this happens, there is a high probability that the abyss will be disadvantaged.

Although Lee Hyeon-seok will not be easily defeated, it is difficult to be optimistic about the Battle of Dongducheon.

Rather, it seems that we should consider a strategic retreat.

‘I’m sure you’ll figure it out.’

Kang-hoo trusted Lee Hyeon-seok.

And apart from the worries, there is no way to add strength to the abyss. For now, it is best to just watch.

at that time.

“I’m ready. I even put a can of oil in there as a spare just in case.”

After the final setup was complete, the seller handed Kang-hoo the bike and the keys.

Knowing well how the hunters who come here use their bikes, he didn’t forget to give them some advice.

“I hope you are safe. I hope you will come visit us again next time.”

It means don’t die.

I can say this because I’ve seen so many hunters die before even passing Ground Zero.

“See you later.”

Kang-hoo nodded.

Vroom! Vroom vroom!

It started picking up speed right away.

From now on, it’s a battle of speed.

The target is the northern part of South Pyongan Province.

You have to go through Pyongyang, Pyeongseong, Suncheon, and then Gaecheon.

* * *

Fortunately, nothing much happened until we entered Pyongyang.

First of all, as the border at Ground Zero ended, the madness of the monsters based there also subsided.

Moreover, perhaps because of the illegal modification, the bike’s speed was much better than Kang-hoo had expected.

The road conditions were not bad, so we were able to arrive at Pyongyang quickly.

Everything in Pyongyang remained as it was before the Hunter’s era began.

The statue was still there, though rusty and faded, and the unfinished landmark Ryugyong Hotel was also still there.

It has been neglected for a long time, so it has now become a monstrous thing that exudes only ominous aura. It was like that from the beginning.

“… … .”

It’s quiet all around.

Apart from the sound of Kang-hoo’s bike just now, it’s enough to give you a sense of what the no man’s land is like.

In the past, there was one time when the police came directly to Pyongyang to collect corpses and other things.

Perhaps for that reason, there were no bones strewn about the roads or any carelessly abandoned structures.

In the past, the reason the police came all the way to Pyongyang was to find a hidden dungeon.

Because you can claim ownership as soon as you find it.

But for some reason, not a single dungeon was created in the Pyongyang area, and it ended up being a waste of time.

at that time.

Warm.

“… … ?”

Suddenly, while there was no sound, I heard something like the sound of hooves. There was something.

Let’s immediately use the sensory concentration skill to enhance hearing.

Phew. Phew. Phew.

I felt my breath in and out, making as little noise as possible. There were quite a few of them.

Kang-hoo held his breath.

They are in a battle of wits.

Even without checking, it was easy to guess that their invisible identity was that of the ‘enemy’.

Woohoo!

Kang-hoo immediately increased the speed. He pulled the throttle to maximum.

The next moment.

Good! Good!

The enemy hiding behind the building revealed himself.

“roe deer?”

It was a deer.

To be exact, it is a deer monster that has become a monster after experiencing mutations over a long period of time.

These guys, despite being outside of the dungeon, provide experience and drop loot when killed.

In reality, they are monsters, so they have learned an instinctive hostility and aggression towards hunters.

Why!

But I increased the speed significantly.

Warm! Warm! Warm!

The speed of the chasing deer was also unimaginably fast. It was to the point where their legs could not be seen.

Close combat with a dagger is impossible against an animal that would struggle with regular physical strength.

If you are unlucky enough to get hit by a hind leg that is overpowered, your neck or anywhere else will break in no time.

That’s why.

Rather than confronting him head-on, which could be very dangerous, Kang-hoo chose to get as far away as possible on his bike.

Suddenly, a chase began in the middle of downtown Pyongyang.
