Episode 345. To Do List (4)
It’s really questionable.
‘You’re pushing your troops to one side like that?’
There’s only one thing I’ve done since I came here.
Kill time by hiding behind a pillar near the entrance.
This side hasn’t hit anyone yet, and they haven’t even made any threatening moves to disrupt the enemy lines.
So, if we think about it objectively, it would be normal to be more wary of Kim Ki-ryeo, who ran in, than of himself, who was guarding the entrance.
But why did this result occur?
“No, this is a bit… … .”
Soon, the reptilian eyes began to catch sight of increasingly larger anomalies.
‘Most of the top awakened ones’ existing in this room move en masse to the entrance.
When he discovered such group behavior, Kang Chang-ho could no longer hide his embarrassment.
“Why me?”
Unfortunately, the questions in my head cannot be properly resolved.
Before we knew it, their forces had reached our front door.
Kim Ki-ryeo’s request was to prevent people from leaving this place.
But with that level of superpowered force, you’d normally have to worry about the gatekeeper becoming a corpse…
Kang Chang-ho felt the temptation to surrender for a moment.
It was a moment when it had to happen.
The enemies are getting closer by the minute, but the doubts still linger.
Why on earth is the entrance guarded so blatantly?

Meanwhile, at the same time.
-Tatadak, tatadak, tatadak… … .
2nd basement floor of the mother building.
A brisk typing sound is heard.
If this were a normal workplace, this type of keyboard would not have been used much due to the noise.
But the person writing the letters didn’t seem to care about that.
Beyond this room, the massive bunker known colloquially as ‘The Factory’ was actually entirely his property.
?Central Server Room?
“hmm.”
Someone wearing glasses can’t take their eyes off the screen.
[41.40338-2.17403]
[78.45222-57.68550]
On the wide monitor he was looking at, numbers that at first glance seemed meaningless were flowing down like a stream.
“No matter how I look at it, it seems like another S-rank was born in China… … .”
But there must have been some meaning to that list, for soon the person sitting there began to mutter.
“I think I’ll buy some Chinese liquor soon.”
It’s so commonplace for the head of a powerful organization to say such things, even disguising the country’s top hunter, Enzo Ciano, as a terrorist.
The chat room he was a part of was, objectively speaking, nothing more or less than a group of selfish and malicious people.
But for a criminal who tried to drown a nation’s capital in blood, one particular character continued to display a life devoid of tension.
Sometimes I go on YouTube and watch videos that are picked by the algorithm.
Also, whenever I have time, I play VOD movies that I had left on one side of the screen.
But it was a moment when I was killing time.
Suddenly, a red warning light came on on one side of the widescreen monitor.
[Discovery: Entrance Open]
By the way, there are also items coming in today.
There is no one coming in.
But why did the only passage that should have been tightly closed suddenly open?
‘Is this an error?’
The owner of the bunker thought naturally.
I was wondering if the program had caused an error.
But when I turned on the surveillance camera footage to find out the truth behind the warning message, it quickly became clear that this assumption was wrong.
‘This is… … .’
He realized too late that the entrance here had been destroyed.
The entrance was completely ripped off, as if an elephant had hit it.
If the space where the door used to be is open like that, then the other person is definitely not a normal customer.
‘Who is it?’
But the real question is, who are these abnormal people?
One side has dark brown hair with a dark impression.
And the other half is a young man with light hair and a lot of freckles.
He briefly glanced back and forth at the images of outsiders caught on the surveillance cameras.
‘Both of them have the ordinary impression of having met each other a few times on the street somewhere… … .’
For a moment, I had the illusion that they were my old acquaintances.
‘They have an inconspicuous appearance. So is there a high probability that they are using a camouflage artifact?’
But this person looking at the monitor had extremely narrow interpersonal relationships.
[Caution: Face not recognized.]
[Caution: Face not recognized (2)]
[Advice: The identity of the entrant is not confirmed by the use of the item. It is recommended to call the administrator for face-to-face verification… … .]
Immediately afterwards, the program inside the computer was also confirmed and killed.
The two outsiders who had just entered had faces he was definitely not familiar with.
‘This system was originally developed to be handed over to the FBI. It still has a lot of bugs, but it’s still quite responsive.’
A high-resolution camera that can clearly enlarge a person’s face down to each eyelash.
And even a program that analyzes the information obtained from the camera in three dimensions.
By the way, I just had a thought, but how is computer civilization so convenient?
‘Hmm.’
Some people in this world describe the abilities used by the Awakened as magical.
But the person looking at the monitor thought a little differently.
‘Superpowered person… … .’
After all, isn’t the knowledge that mankind has accumulated over a long period of time truly magic?
This technology and future are more valuable than gold, which doesn’t even have a half-life. I don’t understand why some people blindly worship awakening.
Like the beasts caught on camera now, I don’t even know why they are making such a primitive display of strength.
“You’ve been violent from the start. Really.”
The truth behind the Beast incident is finally revealed.
Andy Oliver took action immediately.
-Click.
He pressed a specific key with three fingers simultaneously.
Then, letters with a similar meaning appeared on the screen.
[Magic shooting complete]
My fellow countrymen on the ground don’t know much about this.
In fact, the man sitting here has perfect knowledge of most of the techniques used in Pixie.
For the same reason, he was able to use the new analyzer features that came out this year right from his seat.
It’s possible to measure the amount of mana a person has in their body down to the smallest detail.
“hmm!”
With just these precision shooting figures, some really amazing searches are possible.
The magical power information of the Awakened is actually like a fingerprint.
Even though they may look similar on the outside, the numbers after the decimal point of the horsepower amount are different for each individual.
So, if we compare these distinctive numbers with the information of each country’s hunters stored in the database, surprisingly, we can roughly narrow down who that person is…
[Confirmation required]
[Case 1. Comparison test error]
[Case 2. Comparison test error]
… … It should have been like this, but why isn’t it happening all of a sudden?
“what?”
A man named Oliver rests his chin on his hand and stares at the screen for a moment.
It was the moment when they were trying to identify the intruders.
Suddenly two errors occurred.
Fortunately, the reasons why this problem occurs are already roughly known.
first.
If the Awakened One’s magical power itself has never been registered in the computer.
‘In Eastern countries, it’s like a hunter who ‘doesn’t have a license.’
Secondly, if there is a change in the awakening level of a person, there is a difference between the numbers on the computer and the actual number.
‘The most famous example is Choe of Korea who obtained [Dragon’s Heart].’
But the problem was the skills of the Awakened who entered this place.
When I took pictures with the old detectors installed throughout the bunker, the people who just broke in were both S-ranked strongmen. Where in the world are there people with such superpowers?
And what if you’re using the dragon’s organs in it?
‘There aren’t many cases.’
A good idea suddenly popped into my head.
So Andy Oliver moved his fingers to operate the keyboard.
[? Recipient. Security Office: Please use the item scanner to check if the two people who just came in have dragon-type organs.]
At this point, the expected result came back.
[?Sender. Security Office: Confirmed that the Awakened One at the entrance is wearing the ‘Eye’!!]
The loot that the dragon gives is more likely to be obtained by a strong person.
However, perhaps because of its unique rarity, surprisingly few cases of it actually being worn were found.
There are at most two S-class psychics in the world who are using [Dragon’s Eye]. So the suspects were quickly narrowed down.
‘One is my subordinate. Then the other one is a S-rank hunter from South Korea… …!’
Kang Chang-ho appears.
The dark side of Pixie, the leader of the underworld who formed a secret cartel with the heads of the major guilds of each country, was actually very cowardly.
His unique personality is clearly revealed in his actions, in which he sacrificed many things for the sake of his youth, out of fear of death.
So, when he heard the news that Kang Chang-ho had appeared, he made his decision without a moment’s hesitation.
Let’s gather all the superpowered people in the bunker immediately.
‘That Awakened One really doesn’t know what kind of method he’ll use. He clearly set a trap with the intention of killing me. But he came back after breaking through it.’
Additionally, at this point Andy Oliver’s information power shined.
[? From the guard room: The Awakened one who entered is also using a long-term artifact. The other side is ‘Lung’.]
Honestly, I don’t know what this message I just received means.
‘A S-class Awakened being wasted?’
The number of people that Kang Chang-ho, who entered the country illegally without even showing his face on the news, could bring along.
Andy Oliver thought that such a person would be Hunter from South Korea as well.
Kang Chang-ho has the unique characteristic of having foreign grandparents, but surprisingly, he rarely leaves his home country, so the people he interacts with are obvious.
‘no way.’
By the way, didn’t that third S-class often accompany that hunter in the past year?
‘Could it be that blonde Asian guy running towards me…?’
The bunker’s owner quickly realized the identities of the remaining intruders.
33Aw.
At the same time, such numbers flash through my mind.
Previously, I had looked down on the Awakened just because they returned with such ridiculous numbers.
‘Seeing as he entered here alone, there must be something special about that guy. And at least it’s enough to pretend to be an S-class in front of others.’
This one made a quick decision and changed his mind.
This meant that even though he had a rough idea that the person who came with Kang Chang-ho was Kim Ki-ryeo, he didn’t completely let his guard down as if he was dealing with a normal F-class.
‘I guess I’ll have to deal with both.’
But there is a little problem.
No matter what, I couldn’t put the blue-haired hunter whose strength was at an all-time low on the same level as 33Aw…
‘Let’s send all the useful personnel in the bunker towards the entrance and kill Kang Chang-ho in one go. And as for Kim Ki-ryeo, we can buy enough time by sending two S-rank soldiers.’
This is the power of the unconscious.
This side unknowingly evaluated Kim Ki-ryeo as a weakling, and also felt a bit scared of Kang Chang-ho, who single-handedly broke through a trap that seemed absolutely impossible to escape from, which led to this result.
The risk level is already completely determined in my head.
How can we equally distribute the troops within the bunker?
‘By the way, I’m really surprised. How did those hunters know I was here and come looking for me?’
Andy Oliver drafted a group message to prioritize alerting the Awakened at the entrance.
‘What on earth is the purpose of coming here… … .’
-widely.
And after sending the sentence, he started to act in a way that was not befitting of a person facing a crisis.
“Anyway, it’s annoying.”
He suddenly cleaned up his desk.
He gathered all the scattered pieces of paper in one place. And then he suddenly turned off the computer that was working fine and took out a bunch of square objects that were presumed to be storage devices.
But as you can see from the way he grabbed his SSD first, this was actually an emergency response he had been practicing before.
“Everyone, get ready now.”
It’s still unclear who the Awakened being stirring around inside the bunker is.
Sending an assassin who uses the great power of supernatural powers. Well, let’s say it’s okay for now.
But no matter how strong a person you use, if they don’t meet each other, isn’t it just the end?
‘It’s a shame, but now that the bunker has been discovered, this is no time to be sparing with such things.’
The dream item that every coward in the world wishes for. [Teleportation Stone].
It was a light and fragile object that could be destroyed with just a bit of force from the hand, instantly transporting a person to their storage location.
The means of teleportation, which was considered to be extremely unlikely, already existed for Andy Oliver.
‘Whether Kang Chang-ho is dealt with properly or not, there’s no need to watch the results, so let’s run away right away.’
But before running away, at that moment when I was trying to destroy all the impure information remaining here.
-Click.
“Aaaaahhhhh!”
At the exact moment I pressed the format button on the central computer, a scream erupted from behind.
For reference, this room was occupied only by a few bodyguards who were supposed to protect Andy Oliver.
But why are those people in charge of security suddenly screaming like this?
As soon as he turned his head back, this was the sight he saw.
Body hair close to the color of sand.
Short hair with no special features.
And freckles on the face, etc.
“ah!”
But the feature that overpowers them all is the blue Sambaekan.
The man, whose pupils were on the small side, opened his slightly closed eyes wide and said this.
“What if you suddenly send two S-class hunters? I was so surprised that I ended up running here.”
His face is Western, but he speaks Korean.
Moreover, even though we were face to face like this, the man felt even more alienated because he didn’t seem to have any magical power at all.
I can’t believe that he’s the kind of person who seems to have seen me in a classroom somewhere during my school days, but who has a name I can’t even remember, but who puts pressure on people like this.
No answer came back.
-Crisp!
As soon as Andy Oliver realized there was a person behind him, he broke the teleportation stone he was holding.
And I closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyelids, which were originally closed like this, another hiding place that I had set up in advance should have appeared.
‘I think I’ll stay out of the hotels in this country for a while.’
But the reality was not like that.
“… … .”
Woof, woof, woof.
The sound of a ventilation fan in a bunker turning.
For some reason I kept hearing it, so I opened my eyes with a strange feeling.
“… … ?”
The surrounding background was the same.
Sand colored hair.
White skin.
And a young man with familiar freckles and blemishes on his face.
I was still standing in the shadow of the dark bunker.
