When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 48



Only Krnovel

48. God exists and he lives in Changyeong-ri.

Squeak.

The closet door opened limply.

Gil-Sang Lee appeared in a half-slumped, awkward posture.

Four people are staring at him.

“Ah… Hello.”

Lee Gil-sang nodded.

Of course, a suffocating silence followed with no answer.

He came out of the closet, sweat pouring down his face, looking around, and then walked sideways, hesitating, toward the window.

“I guess I mistook the house for mine, hehe… I apologize for the inconvenience. I know you’re all busy, so please finish up what you’re doing, and I’ll be going now…”

Wow!

A sword was stuck in the wall.

A speed that cannot be seen with the eyes.

Lee Gil-sang was so terrified that he couldn’t even scream, so he opened and closed his mouth.

“Do you know him?”

“Is that so?”

Oh Hyun-seong let out a hollow laugh.

Then Han Su-yeon asked the man.

“You don’t seem like a thief who came to steal things. What do you do?”

“No… I… That…”

Lee Gil-sang’s eyes darkened.

She asked him where he came from and what his purpose was, but he did not answer her a single word.

To be exact, it was a situation where I couldn’t answer even if I wanted to.

As Han Soo-yeon’s expression gradually darkened, he eventually fell into a complete panic and shouted.

“Whoaaah! Get out of here! You monsters!”

Wow!

Gil-Sang Lee smashed the glass window and threw himself outside.

He rolled around on the floor and started running away with his butt out.

“under…?”

They looked at him in disbelief, but Lee Gil-sang ran absentmindedly without even having time to look back.

Climb the hills and run through the mountains.

They are absolutely not enemies that can be hidden, sneaky, or communicated with.

He pushed his way through the trees and bushes, thinking that if he went towards the village or the vehicle, he would definitely be caught and killed.

So, he ended up crossing the mountainside, which was covered in no-trespassing tape.

“F… finally!”

Meanwhile, a man’s cheers erupted from the reservoir.

It was Choi Jeong-il who had been fishing for several hours already.

“Bungeo… It’s a 6-pound ungeo!”

Choi Jeong-il holding a giant carp.

It was like watching a scene from The Lion King.

It was a long fight that lasted several days and nights.

But he finally did it, and was ecstatic at the sight of the first giant crucian carp he had ever seen in his fishing life.

But because of that, I didn’t notice the disaster approaching from behind.

Gil-Sang Lee was in a state of complete panic.

He too jumped out of the bushes as if he was throwing himself without paying attention.

The paths of the two hunters overlapped because of this.

Phew!

They collided with a dull thud.

Finally, a clear and refreshing sound was heard.

with a plop!

The carp that had been flying powerfully through the sky disappeared into the lake.

The two men who had been entangled soon got up from their seats.

An eerie silence flowed from the blank stare of Choi Jeong-il, and Lee Gil-sang instinctively felt something and froze.

In the silence that followed, only the sound of an otter laughing from far away could be heard.

***

Kwak!

Choi Jeong-il continued digging in the backyard.

He had become so expressionless that it was scary, but he was showing off his old special ability.

That’s right, digging a hole perfect for burying a person.

“Eububububub!”

Lee Gil-sang struggled with his mouth still wrapped in tape.

Of course, with his limbs bound, he could only continue to struggle in vain.

Oh Hyun-seong, who was watching the scene as if he was troubled, shook his head.

‘I never thought you’d come so early and be doing that shit at the reservoir again. You scary fishing demon.’

Oh Hyun-seong turned his gaze and looked at Lee Gil-sang.

‘By the way, all these members were gathered together, but they hid without being detected… That’s quite a useful ability.’

At first, until there was movement, even Oh Hyun-seong didn’t notice that there was someone in the closet.

A person with uncommon abilities.

It was the first time I had seen in person a hunter with the unique ability to remain hidden.

I’ve only heard of a very small number of cases overseas.

‘For a hunter of around 8th rank, his skills are just so-so, but it’s amazing that he was able to deceive others.’

By the standards of the world, he would be a fairly high-level hunter, but the standards here were different.

Of course, those here, as well as the attendants waiting outside, there was no hunter below the 8th rank.

In reality, even within his own organization, Lee Gil-sang was considered to be of a low rank among executives.

He simply achieved various results by leveraging his own special constitution and rose to the position of a key executive.

At that moment, Baek Ji-soo, who had been talking on the phone from behind, approached Oh Hyeon-seong and spoke.

“According to the results of a background check, you’re an executive of the Samjeonghoe. You’re not the type of person to stir up a place like this for no reason, but senior, do you have anything to do with the Samjeonghoe?”

“Oh, it’s probably because of the original breed I told you about earlier. I robbed their truck to get them.”

“So you came to get back what was stolen?”

“I guess so.”

Oh Hyun-seong nodded.

He had expected that they would try to come after him in some way.

But he didn’t know it would come this quickly.

“Then should I try to talk to you? If I leave you alone, you’ll probably be bothering me again.”

“Eububububub!”

Lee Gil-sang has a seizure after hearing her words.

I don’t know what he’s saying, but he sure looks terrified.

“I’ll cut off this bastard’s head.”

Sreung!

Choi Jeong-il drew his sword.

In order to relieve the sorrow of the carp that left his embrace, he would even cut off its head.

Of course, Baek Ji-soo stopped him from making a fuss.

“Even if I have to kill him, I have to make him open his mouth. If I kill him here without even resolving the circumstances, that bastard’s organization will be able to continue to be linked with my senior.”

Choi Jeong-il finally gave up and walked out, stumbling.

“Don’t be too upset. I’ll go up to Seoul and buy you some raw fish.”

“Senior… you don’t know what a 6-pound crucian carp means to a fisherman…”

“Well, I don’t really want to know.”

Han Soo-yeon comforting Choi Jeong-il.

Of course, it didn’t seem like I could properly appease him.

The guy who sang the 6-character song missed the moment he was about to feel the joy of catching a fish.

If I had taken a proper authentication photo, I would have considered it released, but it flew away before I could even record its dimensions, let alone take a photo.

Even if you go somewhere and brag about catching a 6-pound carp, it’s obvious that no one will believe you or they’ll just call you a crossbreed.

“Everyone, it’s cold outside. Come inside. I’ll do the interrogation.”

“I can handle it.”

“No, it’s an accident that happened at my house, so I have to take care of it. I’ll be done soon, so hurry and go in.”

You can’t dirty your guests’ hands with something that happened because of you.

Baek Ji-soo nodded her head in agreement to his words.

Others also entered the house.

Oh Hyeon-seong and Lee Gil-sang are left like that.

“Obv…”

Lee Gil-sang let out a sigh of relief at the sight.

It was a relief to see that the scary National Security Agency’s blank digits were gone.

I don’t know about anything else, but I didn’t want to face the situation of being interrogated by her.

Ugh.

But Oh Hyun-seong pulled a chair over and sat down in front of him.

At that moment, a question arose in his mind.

If Baek Ji-soo is such a fearsome opponent, then what is this man who she calls her senior and obediently follows her every word?

And is it really right to feel relieved that you are left alone with such a man?

Cheek!

The tape on Lee Gil-sang’s mouth was removed.

A breath of cold, fresh air suddenly entered my stuffy mouth.

“Okay, now let’s talk.”

“A, a conversation? Are you planning to kill me?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll spare your life if you just cooperate.”

“How can I trust that when you might be omitting or burying the information…”

“Whether you cooperate or not, if Baek Ji-soo opens her mouth, it will be resolved easily. But you didn’t do that, did you? The reason I stayed is because I didn’t want to see blood in my yard.”

At his words, Lee Gil-sang’s mouth snapped shut.

If you ask him whether he could keep his mouth shut until the end during Baek Ji-soo’s interrogation, he has absolutely no confidence in that.

He hesitated and then carefully opened his mouth.

“Is it you, sir, who took our seeds?”

“That’s right. I have something to write about.”

“Ha, but that got me in trouble.”

“You guys stole or took from somewhere anyway, so why are you complaining? Are you complaining that you were robbed?”

“No! We acquired it rightfully!”

“I don’t believe you acquired it legally, but you said it right. Where did you get the original seeds?”

Oh Hyun-seong asked him.

It was revealed that the items were imported from overseas, but the exact route was traced by the security bureau, but the source was unclear.

Even for the famously secretive Samjeonghoe, it would be difficult to hide its origins to that extent.

“That… I can’t say.”

“Aha, you’re the type who keeps your mouth shut?”

“That, that’s not it! It’s physically impossible! Neck! Look at the neck!”

Lee Gil-sang said hurriedly.

I was wondering what he was talking about, but when I looked at his neck, I saw that he had large tattoos on him.

At first glance, it looked like a normal tattoo, but I could tell right away that it was no ordinary tattoo.

“Is this… a curse?”

“That’s right. All of our key executives are under this curse. If they go out and say anything nonsense, they’ll die.”

“Why are you even doing something like this?”

Oh Hyun-seong understood and clicked his tongue.

Among the notorious criminal groups in the country, Samjeonghoe was an organization that paid special attention to security.

But I thought this was a bit too much.

It was even more surprising that this was happening at the executive level rather than at the lower levels.

“But the curse seems pretty strong.”

A curse of a fairly high quality.

It was surprising even to him.

“As far as I know, the Samjeonghoe’s capabilities would not be able to create a curse of this level.”

“This curse is absolutely impossible to break. Not even if our entire organization rushes in, not even if anyone comes.”

Lee Gil-sang said with full confidence.

But Oh Hyeon-seong didn’t think that way.

No curse, no matter how well-constructed, is indestructible.

Curses are like intricate puzzles woven together by magic; the solution may be difficult to find, but it is impossible for there not to be an answer.

An unbreakable curse is one that is flawed in its design and therefore doesn’t even work.

“That’s funny.”

Oh Hyun-seong placed two fingers on his neck and poured magical power into him.

Oh Hyeon-seong’s magic, which flowed gently, became entangled with the intricately entangled curse around his neck.

“uh…?”

Gilsang flinched at the strange sensation.

At first, Gil-Sang was surprised by his attempt, but since the curse would not be lifted anyway, he just sat still.

But this feeling I feel now.

I thought it was just my imagination, but it wasn’t.

‘The curse… has been lifted?’

He opened his mouth in disbelief at Oh Hyeon-seong, who had so easily neutralized the curse in just a few seconds.

But before I could even say anything.

His complexion turned pale.

“Kwaaaaah!”

Gil Sang Lee started having a seizure like crazy.

The nape of his neck was already dyed black.

‘A double curse? But… a double curse of this level is ridiculous.’

Oh Hyun-seong was embarrassed.

The powerful curse that has been activated is quickly eating away at Lee Gil-sang.

There are only a few people in the world with the ability to cast such a curse.

“S… save me…!”

“Yes, I have to live. It would be a problem if I die here.”

It’s a shame to have human corpses strewn across my backyard.

Oh Hyun-seong grabbed the struggling Lee Gil-sang and started to pour his magic into him.

The structure of the curse was much more complex than the first curse. If you were to conquer it by following the rules, it would take at least a few days, and if you did, it would be enough time to leave you a cold corpse.

But he didn’t have to follow the rules.

Oh Hyeonseong’s magical power is a magical power that originates from the power of the soul, and has a completely different nature from ordinary magical power.

Thanks to this, unlike other magic spells, there was no need to go through the process of solving them by following the structure one by one.

By skipping several steps of a complex puzzle, you can easily solve the curse.

Pfft!

“Ugh…!”

The swaying curse subsided in an instant.

Pulled from the brink of death, he looked up at Oh Hyeon-seong standing right in front of him.

‘This is ridiculous, you really did this…’

I have never seen anyone who could break this curse.

Because none of those who attempted such a thing survived.

This curse was engraved by the ‘true master of the underworld’.

Not the four major criminal organizations known on the surface, but the real masterminds who have taken control of the entire dark realm.

But the fact that he was able to remove his curse so easily means that he is one step ahead of that.

‘Ah… I see… That’s what it was.’

Lee Gil-sang looked up at Oh Hyeon-seong with a shiver.

Only then did everything fall into place.

The true master who reigns over everyone, holding all the major powers in government and the private sector in his hands.

He is the true absolute ruler of the hunter world, not some king of the shadows.

He felt awe and fear at the thought of facing such a person in person.

“Oh, Absolute Being…”

Thud!

Lee Gil-sang lost consciousness and collapsed.

Of course, Oh Hyun-seong, who was watching the scene, just made a puzzled expression.

“…What are you talking about?”
