The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood - Chapter 349



Only Krnovel

Episode 349. Bunker (3)

Come to think of it, I only heard testimony from a person on Earth who said, ‘I used an errand service.’

There is actually no evidence that anyone ever had servants.

So, I suddenly had a doubt.

Perhaps, if the revelations that have just come out are true, the youth’s true identity could be that of a certain S-class hunter.

‘It’s interesting, even if it’s just nonsense.’

The man named Oliver seemed to think so too, continuing his explanation with determination.

To the foreigner himself, it was quite incomprehensible why this bunker had been exposed to the outside world.

“This is definitely a revelation from a colleague. But the personnel living in this bunker are under a similar oath of secrecy as Enzo. That outsider is the only one left!”

“So. Does that mean that my informant is the backer of the Youth Guild?”

“Yes, that’s right. To be exact-”

“But, didn’t the guys in that chatroom make a separate agreement?”

“yes?”

“Didn’t you prepare for when things go wrong with guys like Spectrum?”

“iced coffee…….”

“If what you said is true, then that youth guild member should have been caught with an item.”

The American in front of him opened his mouth with difficulty after hearing this.

“That part… … . I feel a bit sorry for my colleagues, but… … .”

His sentences, which began in a shabby voice, soon added strength to his previous argument.

“Actually, 50% of the people in our group have signed a confidentiality agreement.”

Half of the four.

So does that mean only two people made the oath?

“Before I revealed the information about the ‘age-defying drug’, I received this promise. If you reveal the connection between us to anyone else, you will die immediately… … .”

It seems to express the current situation where not everything is going as planned.

PIXY’s new translator makes a few errors mid-conversation.

“Oh, of course, I always had to mention the ‘age-defying drug’ to increase the number of members in the group… … .”

“I guess you weren’t supposed to be kept secret from the start.”

“I was the first to obtain the scroll, so I gained trust with relatively fewer steps than others.”

Fortunately, the translator’s troubles did not last long.

“But does that guy from the Youth Guild have a phobia of [Knight’s Oath]?”

The default AI voice translating English to Korean echoed through the air.

“He said he absolutely did not want to use an item that would cause his head to explode from a single mistake, and later offered to make a separate deal.”

But if something like this comes up again, the atmosphere changes.

“… … So I received some skills from that friend.”

“technology?”

“In exchange for that, Cheongchunsa was exempted from the oath of secrecy. That’s why that person is currently under suspicion.”

If we make this assumption, there will be no cases where it doesn’t make sense, at least from a magical standpoint.

‘Oh.’

In fact, Kang Chang-ho has worked with them until now.

After the failure of the operation targeting South Korea, the very existence of the Alliance was in danger, so they quickly withdrew.

And then, in front of some SS-class Awakened person, he pretends not to be involved and leaks information?

I never thought such an inference would come out.

‘Now that I hear it, it makes sense!’

That’s true.

When a particular group is in crisis.

Instances of betrayal of the organization one has been a part of can be easily found anywhere.

So I didn’t think the sentences the other person came up with were completely nonsensical.

But the problem lay with the person who made the statement.

“I feel a little bit revengeful right now.”

“That would be towards the people in the guild called Cheongchun.”

“Of course I committed a very serious sin, but it is unconscionably unpleasant to have my safety threatened by the tattling of someone who committed the same sin.”

“hmm.”

“By the way, although it’s late to be talking about this, is the Awakened person you came with Kang Chang-ho from the Republic of Korea?”

“Did it look like that?”

“There is a recognition facility inside the bunker. If that is the case, then I am assuming that the other person is Kang Chang-ho, but I am also a bit suspicious of that person.”

“… … .”

“Know this. Kang Chang-ho destroyed a trap that our organization had prepared that was absolutely impossible to escape from. It was as if he had prepared for it in advance.”

A mammal that wags its tail in the face of a flood and is a loser.

Right now, there is a person like that talking very earnestly right in front of my eyes.

Why should we seriously listen to the last gasp of a frightened person?

“Anyway, it’s all just speculation right now. But if there’s someone around you who uses the code name ‘youth,’ I honestly hope that person goes down with me.”

If you take your time and think about it, there are definitely some strange parts, but the probability that Kang Chang-ho is on their side seems low.

‘It goes without saying that I have no objection to [the Knight’s Oath]… … .’

Okay, first of all, this part is accurate and needs no further explanation since I have experienced it myself.

‘The fact that he easily escaped the trap they had set in India is, of course, suspicious. But what we should be concerned about is Kang Chang-ho’s actions after that. He returned to Korea very quickly.’

The camouflaged blue three hundred eyes roll into the air.

I just sat there for a moment, thinking without making any expression.

‘The speed of movement between India and Korea is inexplicable even if you take a jet. Kang Chang-ho must have used the [Teleportation] item at that time.’

If so, the questions directed at Kang Chang-ho will be somewhat resolved.

Now let’s wrap up our conversation with our friend from around the globe.

‘hmm.’

I put the [Scream Stake] I was holding back into the item box.

And then he said one word.

“Oliver.”

“yes?”

By the way, the reason I put the gear away is to make a better fist.

“I’ve been thinking carefully about the story I heard earlier.”

“Yes, yes.”

“By the way, there was something that came up during the conversation… …. The information that the youth said was given to them in exchange for avoiding the oath.”

“yes.”

“Was that a way to promote human awakening?”

I’ve been saying this nonstop since the moment I entered this bunker.

Because there were too many Awakened people by Andy Oliver’s side.

If the employees were lower-level superpowered individuals from F to E, the story might have been different.

But his servants who lived in the bunker were at the lowest level of B grade.

“… … Yes.”

The answer came soon.

“… … That’s right, that’s right. Some of our staff members are unnatural awakeners.”

As soon as I heard this, I punched Andy Oliver.

“Wow!”

Today, we live in an era where superpowers that were only seen in movies have become a reality.

So, it is impossible that there have not been attempts in the past to awaken magic through science and technology.

Of course, there have been cases where Earth has conducted research on triggering awakening.

[Seonhan Ilbo Headline]

[Now we live in an era where we can have artificial insemination… But why can’t we have artificial awakening?]

It’s just that the results were like this.

[Article body: … The research team attempted to induce physical changes in people by intentionally applying stress in a high-power environment, but it is difficult to implement a crisis that is identical to reality with the current VR technology… … (omitted) … Meanwhile, a 55-year-old foreigner was arrested for seriously injuring a debtor in an illegal gambling house.

They have all attempted artificial awakening.

Arousal occurs relatively frequently in crisis situations, since sympathetic nervous system activation is not an unconditional prerequisite.

Based on these research results, the Human Rights Commission issued strict corrective recommendations for artificial awakening attempts that have a high probability of failure and are bound to infringe on human rights.

Accordingly, the governments of the three provinces have also strongly expressed their intention to legislate related policies. This is expected to be fully concretized starting in November.]

Once upon a time.

An article from a certain newspaper that I came across while surfing the web passes by.

To put it simply, this was nothing short of an impulsive finale.

‘The mammals here are just like newborn babies just learning to walk in front of magic. If you try to evolve them in a short period of time, it’s only natural that you’ll run into trouble… ‘

To be honest, if you have talent, the magic is that you can just wake up and learn without even having to sit still.

Especially, it is by no means easy to make someone without proper qualifications into a wizard.

Whether you’re locked in a prison full of monsters or stabbed with a knife.

Ultimately, this method, regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, will only leave serious aftereffects.

But the mammal in front of me answered that it had created an artificial awakener with its own mouth. The conclusion was very simple.

“All the Awakened beings in this bunker must have been victims of torture!”

That’s why there were so many strangely superpowered entities.

If you open the door to each room and check, you will probably be able to easily discover what devices are used to promote awakening.

But where did Andy Oliver get those poor workers from, tied up and thrown in the basement under the pretext of keeping them secret?

“The bodyguards I just saw. Are they really doing this because they wanted to? No, they are. No matter how much money you give them, how can they do something so dangerous?”

“… … .”

“Oh my. Look at how you can’t answer. Now that I think about it, it looks like you were using illegal means to bring in the manpower. Don’t hold your breath, Inma!”

I hit the enemy again.

It was a waste to use even a single bit of magic power against such an entity.

The more I used magic, the more I worried that the beautiful mana of the Earth would touch it and become polluted.

“I really can’t burn my notebook because of these kids.”

“Yes? A, a notebook?”

But what’s the point of venting your anger like this?

So I quickly came to my senses.

“Anyway, as Andy said, the content of [The Knight’s Oath] definitely needs to be revised a lot.”

At the same time, it is a bit unfortunate that it is already too late to rescue the victims who were contracted to die.

Still, at the very least, we must stop this kind of absurd system.

Even if they were rich, they wouldn’t have been able to afford rare items like the Oath of Allegiance for this many employees.

“From now on, workers will be able to find new jobs with fair wages.”

The employment contracts here inevitably had to use a lot of [Fairy’s Promise].

So I gave orders to the mammal in front of me.

Within the next month, you must release all of the effects of that item. Either by using the highest-grade potion or by covering up the conditions with a higher-grade contract to nullify it.

If anyone came to this bunker without their consent, they were all told to be released.

‘Oh. Wait a minute. But if we do this, won’t we be too short on manpower to keep a check on the future? And if a new terrorist attack occurs, what will happen to those who have a contract to die together?’

But at this point something started to bother me.

So I asked the other person subtly what was worrying them.

Should I say this is good or bad?

“There are more people who volunteered to be employees than you might think. There are many among the general public who want to become Awakened no matter what the cost.”

“aha.”

“Even if I keep to your demands, the personnel reduction will be around 30%. I will do my best to keep my promise with the remaining staff, so please spare me. Don’t look at me and say strange things like poetry and plants.”

“Uni?”

“By the way, Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo, are you really a secret agent of the Korean government as rumored? And are you qualified to use torture techniques…?”

Anyway, the story was well organized.
