The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood - Chapter 342



Only Krnovel

Episode 342. To Do List

A situation that truly proves the saying, ‘Life is all about timing.’

[P: By the way, how many types of functions were there in Ha Sung Hunter’s Legendary?]

Online, they could never realize the mistake they had made.

Even an organization that handles all the world’s information could not uncover secrets from space.

Aliens.

It was like a stranger outside that distant fence.

Unless you know the truth that the soul of a marine creature is embedded in the body of a Korean… … .

This meant that mammals living on a small planet were constantly faced with information imbalances.

[P: This is just a guess, but books are just a medium for conveying knowledge, and swords are perfectly in the form of weapons. So maybe the Sunset Sword has a much more destructive ability than the Book of Destruction.]

[??: Dude, I’m sorry, but do artifacts from other countries matter right now? We’re in a really **difficult situation.]

[P: Should I turn off the profanity filter?]

[Youth: Sigh]

[Cheongchun: Okay. I’ll just go into hiding. I’m sick of hearing stories about South Korean hunters. Got it? Don’t talk to me for a while.]

Now you think Kim Ki-ryeo is weak.

They didn’t know it, but the current trend was an opportunity for someone.

To be exact, one wizard ended up supporting the schedule that was to be carried out in the future.

But some might say it’s fortunate.

-Then, should we start preparing to leave the country?

Because the new purpose of the mother wizard was none other than meeting them.

If a misunderstanding occurs in a relationship, the ideal solution may actually be to confront each other and correct the mistakes.

***

A while later.

A clear weekday afternoon.

-Brrrrr.

The sound of an engine starting echoes through the middle of a dry field.

‘Oh. That’s a big car that I’ve rarely seen in Korea.’

As you can see from the thought that just occurred to me.

The place I am now is America.

The world’s most famous developed countries.

Why did you suddenly set foot in a place like this?

‘hmm.’

Compared to when I first came to the United States as Esther’s escort, this return visit was actually more difficult.

‘They say that it’s more comfortable to smuggle by boat. Did I foolishly choose the fastest route?’

First, he hid in the cargo hold of a passenger plane that a broker had arranged for him, and then he barely managed to endure the long hours using an oxygen respirator.

‘For your information, an unawakened person without mana will freeze to death in the sub-zero temperature as soon as the passenger plane takes off at high altitude. Normal people should never do something like this… … .’

In addition, when the plane arrives at its destination, you need to avoid airport security checks, so use terrain-ignoring movement items such as [Netherworld’s Blanket] and stealth items.

It took a lot of effort and money to move around while avoiding people’s eyes.

And this was the place I finally arrived at with all my magical powers.

‘It certainly doesn’t look like an area where mammals would gather to live.’

An undeveloped area in the western United States.

Unfortunately, my journey and that of my companions did not end here.

Because teleportation magic is very rare on Earth.

‘It seems that among mammals, there are often cases of using magic. Even then, if they make a small mistake in handling it, they can get into big trouble, and there are few magicians who survive. It’s even harder to find cases where the magic appears in the form of an item.’

I really couldn’t help it.

For various reasons, we had to get into the vehicle and travel for quite some time now.

‘Of course I know teleportation magic, but spatial interference definitely requires a lot of magic power, so I’m a bit hesitant to just use it… ‘

But in this situation, some people may start to have doubts.

Why did I, a great wizard, choose the United States out of all the countries?

But in fact, there was a shocking reason behind it.

The results of my memory review and cross-checking with Earth-side investigators.

This is because the ultimate mastermind behind the Beasts was revealed to be the world-famous ‘Mana Resource Company’.

‘I heard it was originally a place that made online entertainment… … .’

[PIXY]

There are probably few people on this planet who do not know that letter.

It was to the point where even Alphauri people walking around the streets remembered the company name PIXY.

Magic checker.

Artifact type analysis system.

And advanced translators, etc.

Since they put their names on items that are frequently used by both hunters and ordinary people, honestly, it was a situation where the company name could not have remained unknown to the world.

As deeply involved as it is in the lives of Earthlings, the company PIXY was also known for making astronomical amounts of money.

But why would a large international company that was enjoying such an incredibly prosperous time be interested in urban terrorism?

‘Ha, I knew it when I first heard the rumor that I was torturing aliens. PIXY was a company with such bad roots that such vicious rumors were spreading!’

Anyway, let’s summarize the results of the investigation so far.

The final decision maker to send Enzo Ciano to Korea was Pixie’s shareholder, Andy Oliver.

‘First of all, the face seen during the corpse memory investigation and the driver’s license photo of a mammal that Kang Chang-ho picked out were identical.’

But why is someone who doesn’t have a high position like chairman or president, and just owns a portion of the company’s stock, being treated as the company’s representative? … .

At this point, the conversation we had before leaving the country came to mind.

-Andy Oliver? Oh, that guy is the only son of the founder of Pixie.

-!

-So after his mother passed away from old age, he inherited the company’s stock and even ran the company himself for a while.

-aha.

– It was around the time when we started working with the federal government. Anyway, at some point, like many American companies, the company started using professional managers and Andy Oliver himself took a back seat.

-Why?

-I heard it was because he was being compared to the previous president too much… … .

-What comparison?

-The founder, Barbara Oliver, was popular throughout the United States during her lifetime. But after looking into the Beast incident, I found out that Andy Oliver’s departure was just for show.

-… … .

-It just wasn’t visible on the surface anymore. The other party was still the backbone of PIXY.

-… … .

-Besides, Oliver’s family had a strong tendency to be developers rather than businessmen from the beginning. In fact, most of the core technologies that became the foundation of the company were created under their leadership. In short, he was the one who could exploit PIXY’s technology more easily than anyone else in modern times, and as a result, he had to know an overwhelming amount of information related to the gate.

Well, to summarize, it’s like this.

Of course, the successor to that mana resource company seemed to have had his share of problems.

This part is the result of a great wizard searching through Enzo’s memories.

Andy Oliver was also the mastermind behind the swapping of his country’s [Book of Destruction] with a counterfeit one.

‘So then the US government was rather a victim who was wronged by private forces?’

Things almost got messed up because of this hidden reason.

Perhaps if [Justitia] had been used to interrogate high-ranking officials from the opposing government, they would all have been found innocent.

‘Of course, the president of the Spectrum Guild that Enzo was ostensibly a member of was unable to avoid arrest because he knew that the [Book of Destruction] had been handed over.’

Additionally, the company called PIXY has been secretly doing a lot of things in various ways.

A representative example is the violation of the Personal Information Protection Act.

‘They indiscriminately collected information captured by various analyzers under the pretext of doing it for the good of the world, and then selected and concealed the important data stored on the server.’

Rumors that PIXY and the International Gate Federation were stealing information from Hunters had been circulating on Earth for some time.

Is it because they hid their crimes well that there hasn’t been an uproar over this yet?

Or maybe it’s because they covered up the leaked secret well.

‘Hmm.’

Anyway, that was the extent of my random thoughts.

-chin.

After finishing my reminiscence, I slowly got into the car in front of me.

The vehicle that had been waiting for this body since a while ago was a pickup truck that looked like it would be easy to transport furniture or large items.

But as soon as I got in there, the man in the driver’s seat started lamenting.

“—But Kim Ki-ryeo. Do you really need to see this with me? It would be much easier to get caught without two S-ranks leaving.”

This is a word from Kang Chang-ho.

To explain further, it was neither more nor less than grumbling, and there was no need to respond in any way.

‘The problem has already been solved, so you’re complaining.’

Now that I think about it, why is the life of a superpowered person so tiring?

As I just heard, on Earth, if an S-class moves around the area without permission, they will be featured in the headlines.

So, at this time, such a story was spreading in Korea.

Two S-rank Korean hunters suddenly started attacking the upper gate in Masan!

Of course it was a lie.

It’s such an obvious disguise though.

If you entered the gate that another hunter had set up without permission, you would usually be treated as a stealer or a frog (*human hunter). Therefore, the probability of our fake alibi being discovered seemed low.

There is also no need to worry since Kang Chang-ho has already placed a security guard in front of the Lie Gate.

‘If you look closely, this gate is used for all sorts of bad things.’

I fastened my seatbelt, reminding myself of the dangers of the gate.

“ha.”

But then it happened.

-Brrrrr.

The engine was fully warmed up and the pickup truck was just about ready to roll.

The person sitting next to me seemed to be feeling bored with the road ahead.

The man in the driver’s seat suddenly opened his mouth again.

“You’re not a hospice patient. Are you lacking adrenaline? What’s wrong with our Hunter that he always takes on the difficult and tiresome tasks that others avoid?”

“yes?”

“Besides, I was going to use it anyway when something like that happened.”

“Oh, it was my fault again.”

“You clearly said you wouldn’t care about your life going forward. But why are you so inconsiderate these days?”

chin.

Kang Chang-ho lightly tapped the top of the steering wheel with one hand.

“Anyway, right next door, they blow up balloons and set off firecrackers and make a fuss every day.”

It was such an earth-like metaphor that I couldn’t understand it for a moment.

But anyway, looking at the atmosphere, it looks like the driver is in a bad mood.

‘How dare someone like S-class lose their temper in front of a great wizard…?’

This one, with a mind purely filled with curiosity, began to look at the driver’s seat without any expression on his face.

Of course, Kang Chang-ho was a S-class hunter, so he could immediately detect this gaze. It seemed like he had this thought as soon as he saw my gaze.

Because the sentence came out reflexively without much thought.

“By the way, you know what? With that blank expression on his face, our Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo looks twice as much like a serial killer as usual.”

ah.

By the way, if I were to explain the current sentence, I would have to mention this part first.

‘I did everything secretly from departure to arrival.’

Kang Chang-ho and I are both among the top-tier awakened people in the world, and our faces have already been sold to the point where we can sell them.

‘When I think about what I’m going to do to that Pixie company shareholder in the future, it would be better to hide my actions as much as possible.’

We had already taken care of the appearance part.

[Vampire’s Mirror]

To be exact, I used something with this name.

An appearance-altering artifact that is inferior to Enzo’s gang’s [Doppelganger’s Jealousy], so even if you take only a little damage, or if you undergo a DNA test, your identity will be immediately revealed.

However, if your goal is simple deception, this is the most effective camouflage available.

I thought about it for a moment.

Anyway, the meaning of what Kang Chang-ho said was simple.

I looked different today than usual. That’s because I was disguised.

But if my current form were discovered by my fellow countrymen on Earth, I don’t know what kind of feelings they would have…

‘He looks like a serial killer. That’s strange. Is this a scarier form than Kim Ki-ryeo’s appearance?’

Body hair of ambiguous saturation, close to sand color.

A hairstyle that is slightly shorter, just long enough to show the forehead.

Additionally, if we look for unique features, there are blue eyes, deep double eyelids, etc.

This is roughly what my current appearance looked like.

Unfortunately, we were unable to escape from the chronic problem.

To put it bluntly, the Sam Baek-an phenomenon was also discovered in this camouflage appearance.

But perhaps because he was born with weak muscles, this mammal’s appearance, which he copied from somewhere, had droopy upper eyelids and a somewhat dull atmosphere in focus.

‘This makes me look even more innocent than my original appearance. No, it’s almost to the point where I look stupid.’

I have a temporary doubt.

Why did Kang Chang-ho see this impression and express it that way?

‘Well, to be honest, I don’t think Kim Ki-ryeo’s appearance has changed much. At most, the color… … is the only difference. Two eyes, one nose, one mouth. Everything is the same. Anyway, I chose a sample with a similar bone structure so that it would be easy to move around.’

I struggled to turn the mirror that was hanging in the center of the front seat towards me.

And I checked my current appearance again.

Because they imitated Westerners’ appearances for the purpose of working in the United States, of course there were some differences in their outer skin and other aspects.

‘Are these freckles? Or liver spots? There’s also a mark on the bridge of my nose that looks like it was sprayed with spray paint.’

In the end, to the aliens, everyone was the same.

However, since the atmosphere was much more hazy than Kim Ki-ryeo’s, it was fortunate that there were positive reviews saying that this appearance was good for covert operations.

I stared intently in the mirror for a while, reassessing the state of my stomach.

“… … .”

But at that moment.

I felt eyes on me from somewhere.

I suddenly looked around at that feeling and saw the man in the driver’s seat looking in my direction.

“… … .”

By the way, that Westerner with brown hair was also Kang Chang-ho in disguise.

But he, disguised as an older man, rolled his eyes while driving.

He kept glancing at me as if I was some weirdo while I was checking myself in the mirror.
