Episode 344. To Do List (3)
It’s not like I’m in a bad mood.
At first glance, it looks like a group of high-level superpowered people.
‘what?’
We exchanged glances as we sensed the large number of Awakened beings before our eyes.
When I first realized this, I thought it was nonsense for a moment.
If you think about it carefully, this was not normal. It was also a warning that the difficulty of the work had increased beyond imagination.
‘It’s getting a bit annoying.’
With so many high-ranking Awakeners, will we be able to meet PIXY shareholders without a hitch?
‘It’s obvious what difficulties lie ahead.’
I thought the chances of that were slim.
So, as a great wizard, I tried to solve this situation with mystical powers.
First of all, it is necessary to give orders to Kang Chang-ho at this point.
“It’s a shame that you didn’t tell us in advance that there were so many Awakened people.”
In fact, except for this part, the information that Kang Chang-ho collected was generally excellent.
“But I hope that the information is correct, that this bunker has only one entrance.”
Let me say this up front, this place has very little physical access.
No rat holes or shortcuts were found.
According to long-term observations by Earthling intelligence sources, they appear to use only a single entrance connecting the surface and the underground.
In a situation where these investigation results were available, there was one thing that had to be done first when attacking the enemy.
‘Blocking the hole through which one can escape.’
But there is one thing that worries me a little… … .
As mentioned earlier, this is when the enemy tries to escape by using the power of [Teleportation] or [High-Speed ??Movement] magic.
‘Hoo hoo.’
Well, even if something like that were to happen, I actually had a plan to deal with it.
First of all, teleportation magic is very rare on Earth.
The number of awakened beings with the ability to leap through space, like Brooklyn Morgan, is so low that you can count them on one hand every year. And sorcerers who can teleport people are even rarer.
In addition, it is said that items containing the magic of the shrinking method are rarely found, comparable to elixirs.
‘That means we can almost rule out the possibility of teleportation. Even if the enemy were to use such magic, I would still consider it.’
So, Earthlings use high-speed travel methods to cross certain distances.
The most famous example of an item with a high-speed movement magic effect was [Netherworld’s Mofo].
in other words.
It’s different from teleportation magic, so it never completely ignores the terrain and runs.
This is information that I found out too late, but it is said that if you interfere with the ground where the shadow is, such as by overturning it, you can make the humans riding the [Netherworld’s Mofo] get off.
‘It’s usually hard to hit because it moves so fast, but the Awakened one next to me isn’t some S-class scammer disguised as some kind of alien, so it’s okay, right?’
Besides, in this system, most other high-speed movement items would be destroyed in the same way.
First of all, if you want to eliminate physical concerns, there is no better way.
“What? You want me to guard the entrance here?”
“yes!”
“And if someone tries to leave here, you block them unconditionally?”
Kang Chang-ho was scheduled to serve as goalkeeper here.
It was a course of action that was decided from the beginning.
What they really wanted was just someone to handle the complex administrative tasks of Earth.
I’m no longer a F-class weakling.
Even though his body is still in tatters and not much of a repair or treatment, he can easily defeat a hundred superpowered people.
But, if we just bring in such a primitive sorcerer, how much power would have increased in this situation?
‘Actually, that mammal was worth its price just for providing smuggling and fake identities~’
A brief thought crossed my mind.
‘But I’ll need help going back to Korea too, so it’s a bit vague to let him go back alone at this point.’
By the way, I couldn’t accompany that mammal inside the building.
From now on, I’ll have to use all sorts of magic to talk to PIXY’s shareholders. It’s kind of awkward to show it all to that caveman.
‘Then, I guess the only way is to give them a plausible mission and leave them at the entrance.’
So the request to protect this place came out of my mouth.
furthermore.
“Okay. I’ll take responsibility and guard the entrance.”
“yes.”
“It certainly seems better for one of you to wander around rather than two people breaking in.”
I thought I’d be following you around in the bunker and doing some dirty work.
If the previous contractor suddenly declares that he has to stay in one place, it would be welcome from his perspective.
‘Anyone would be happy if the daily workload was less than what they had expected.’
The third S-class from Korea folded the sunglasses he had been wearing carefully and put them in his pocket.
The sight of her organizing her accessories with a smiling face made her look bright overall.
“Kim Ki-ryeo, the hunter.”
Of course, even though things had gotten easier, I wasn’t so excited that I couldn’t ignore the important questions.
“But seeing as you’re trying to find Andy alone in this large bunker, I guess you also have a skill like [Searcher]?”
Immediately after.
A question popped up from the side.
“no.”
But I just said it flatly.
“No, that’s not it. I just thought I could find it by feeling if I just came here.”
“Oh.”
“He has inherited a lot and is overflowing with money, and he lives in a suspicious cave like this all year round… … In addition, if he is so selfish that he preys on people from other countries for profit, then honestly, where would such a person live?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
By the way, I had [Strength Boost Magic] ready so I could move quickly at any time.
As soon as I finished telling this story and Kang Chang-ho opened the door, I planned to start chasing him right away.
“If I were that narrow-minded, I would never leave the strongest staff member in this bunker and stay with him every day.”
“That makes sense.”
The plan is to track down the most powerful psychic in a certain location and then use that to meet the target.
At first glance, it sounds like a reasonable statement.
But in fact, this was a lie.
Of course, I’ll just use [Searcher] to track it.
‘Even if it was something that Alphauri hadn’t used before, I could learn it quickly if I put my mind to it… … Now, I know the identity of the unawakened being that I need to find relatively accurately.’
After looking into it, it turns out that Earth’s [Searcher] skill has a similar structure to ‘Alphauri’s old-time magic to find familiar objects’.
As I just thought, this body had already been newly equipped with the ability to track primitive people.
There is no need to bring Seon Woo-yeon.
But it was too ambiguous to reveal that I was a great wizard, so I made a rough excuse.
‘A piece of reasoning. How on earth would I know that Andy or whatever is next to me?’
Then, we would have successfully tricked Kang Chang-ho.
“If something happens that is too much to handle, I will return to the entrance.”
From now on, I really have to get down to the mission.
“They’re not stupid either. They’ll probably detect an intruder right away… … .”
“maybe.”
“If there are too many security guards crowding the entrance, Hunter Kang Chang-ho should not hold out too long and should escape.”
By the way, there is something that a man named Kang Chang-ho is good at.
It is an act of breaking a promise and putting one’s own comfort first.
But if that mammal leaves the bunker without completing its mission, the aliens will have an opportunity.
‘Without that guy, I can do any magic I want without worrying about what’s going on.’
I said that without really revealing my true feelings.
Of course, Kang Chang-ho didn’t pretend to refuse, but nodded and accepted the offer.
With this, all agreements between the parties have been completed.
‘Okay. Then, if the time comes, I’ll save my magic power with the mindset of using the real exhaust [teleportation] as well… ‘
The moment the conversation ended.
We exchanged a short signal and started the action.
‘What? I thought there would be a guard at the door. Instead, there’s no one at the entrance.’
Kang Chang-ho broke the locked door with his strength.
This one instantly used its senses to identify the culprit’s location.
‘Around the second basement level?’
What was demonstrated afterwards were truly superior physical abilities worthy of an S-class wizard.
As if the tumultuous past was a distant memory.
I ran inside the bunker at a speed far beyond that of a normal person.
‘If I apply something like advanced stealth to my body, [Dragon’s Eye] might sense something.’
And originally, when I met another person in here, I was planning to harm them.
‘Then, we should move forward by attacking the approaching Earthlings!’
I feel this every time I am born into this world, but life doesn’t always go as planned.
-Tall.
I ran for a while and then stopped for a moment.
It definitely felt like the goal was below where I was standing, but I didn’t know how to get down.
‘People of Earth. Is there an elevator here? An elevator?’
I don’t even have a floor plan of the building, so I don’t think I’ll be able to find things like elevators.
So I prepared my magic with the intention of going down through the floor.
In this situation where things had been at a standstill, an incident occurred.
“… … !”
“… … !!”
At the crossroads, an Earthling came out and turned around.
A foreigner with a small head and large body finally encountered the intruder for the first time.
‘Oops, I got it. Okay. Then, immediately cast a sleep spell-!’
But the conversation that followed was one that even the Alphauri archmage could not have predicted.
-Smile!
The person who was presumed to be an employee of this place disappeared with a half-hearted greeting as soon as he made eye contact with the intruder.
‘Huh? What? You’re just going to leave it like that?’
I can’t believe it.
What on earth is this shabby atmosphere that permeates the bunker?
People who just greet people they don’t even know and pass them by without paying attention.
When I faced this situation, a certain word flashed through my mind.
Safety insensitivity.
‘This might end easier than expected?’
Fortunately, however, this type of problem is one that only benefits the intruder.
***
A minute passed since then.
‘hmm.’
If it was an S-rank Awakened person with incredible speed, it would have already moved an entire floor of the building.
At this time, Kang Chang-ho was standing next to a suitable pillar near the entrance.
-Oh my god.
I just broke down the door and came in. I guess nothing will change if I hide like this for a bit.
‘At least I don’t run into any wandering things… ‘
He stayed put, following someone’s instructions to make sure no one leaves the bunker.
Although he himself expressed his concerns, it is true that those with the ability to teleport are rare.
The idea of ??one side guarding the entrance is a simple but effective tactic.
‘It’s almost time for the security to come.’
By the way, why doesn’t this bunker have separate personnel at the entrance?
Are you confident that this place will not be discovered by others? Or that there are enough troops to avoid having to deal with intruders at the entrance?
‘Or maybe the timing was just right. After all, today isn’t the day the supplies arrive.’
Kang Chang-ho checked the roughness on his fingertips while thinking about various things.
This camouflage item called [Vampire’s Mirror] is good in every way, but this part is its drawback.
The appearance and the reality of the person inside are different, so if you touch it with your own hands, you will immediately feel a sense of discomfort.
I could clearly see severe calluses with my naked eye, but when I put my finger on the other side, a completely different texture was immediately transmitted to my skin.
“hmm.”
For this reason, [Vampire’s Mirror] also has an effect during battle.
If a person with a height of about 192cm overlaps with the illusion of being shorter, a sense of dissonance occurs when stretching one’s arms.
I don’t know if this will work as a strength or a disadvantage.
Kang Chang-ho was already starting to get annoyed by the fight that was about to happen.
-If there are too many security guards crowding towards the entrance, Hunter Kang Chang-ho should not hold out too long and should escape.
Besides, if you think back on what the hunter said, it wouldn’t be a problem if you turned around right now.
The third S-class in Korea chewed over the remarks made by his fellow classmate.
It means that if you block the entrance and it seems like there is a big danger, you can run away on your own.
Even if you later verify the truth using [Knight’s Oath] or [Fairy’s Promise], there is no way to know exactly how many people will crowd the entrance and how many can escape, so there is no way to avoid using tricks.
Even if only two or three security guards came, he could just say that there were more than enough for him.
However, Kang Chang-ho did not try to dig into the sentence’s weaknesses.
‘It’s the last one anyway.’
Yeah, because it’s the last one anyway.
Even without that, it seems like people sometimes become rough when they are facing death.
The impression is dirty.
My luck is bad.
Moreover, his qualities as a hunter are so great that he would be useless even if he were to face off against a superhuman with unprecedented powers.
So, in order to somehow end on a good note, Kang Chang-ho decided to stick to his mission this time as much as possible.
‘hmm?’
But exactly 30 seconds after I had that thought.
-Woodoo doo doo doo.
From somewhere, the sound of people running around could be heard, enough to make the large bunker faintly resonate.
So Kang Chang-ho reflexively turned his [dragon’s eyes].
This is the scenery that I saw before my eyes when I took off my specially made sunglasses.
Even before I could get through the entrance, I could feel the countless number of Awakened people rushing towards this place.
“?”
It was not Kim Ki-ryeo who went inside, but rather he who was standing still at the entrance that the troops were focused on.
Kang Chang-ho discovered an unbelievable phenomenon and stood there dumbfounded.
And a moment later, he was seen raising one eyebrow on his disguised face.
