When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 52



Only Krnovel

52. Level 1 National Secret Personnel

Tsk tsk tsk!

A pure white light flowed from Alyssa’s hand.

The pile of prepared chicken in front of her was bathed in light and its turbidity disappeared.

“Okay, good job.”

Oh Hyun-seong stroked Alyssa’s head.

Now that she was used to his touch, she accepted it obediently without any awkwardness, and then suddenly disappeared into light.

“It seems like we’ve definitely gotten closer than before… Are you usually a reserved person?”

Oh Hyun-seong shrugged his shoulders, packed up the cleaned chicken, and left the house carrying a large sack on his back.

The place he headed to was a small warehouse next to a strawberry farm.

Although he had a traditional storage room inside the house, he needed a lot of space to grow all kinds of crops and be self-sufficient.

So when we built the strawberry farm, we also built a warehouse next to it.

It’s a fairly decent warehouse, and there’s nothing strange about it even at first glance.

We also have a refrigerator and freezer, so we stored all the wild boar meat we had last time here.

‘However, the absolute size of the warehouse is small, and it is not without its flaws in terms of properly storing various crops that will increase in the future.’

In short, I felt the need to expand a bit more.

Of course, construction was not an easy task.

Since strawberry farming was all they did outside the barrier, it might seem strange to build such a huge warehouse for no reason.

But there was nothing to worry about as soon as Melts showed up.

Ugh.

Oh Hyun-seong, who was resting his head on the floor of the warehouse, closed his eyes for a moment.

It’s to estimate the approximate area.

After doing some calculations, he borrowed the power of the spirits.

Kookookookook!

A heavy vibration reverberated through the ground.

The floor where he had placed his hand caved in, revealing a passageway.

Oh Hyun-seong went down the stairs that appeared out of nowhere.

Then, a spacious underground space was revealed.

“Well, it’s been a while, but I’m still not done with it.”

Oh Hyun-seong nodded while looking at his right hand.

A hand with a brown aura rippling through it.

Originally, it was a space that should have been filled with dirt and rocks, but he temporarily summoned the upper spirit of the earth, Multz, into his hands.

And then, through manipulation of the land, this large space was created.

‘So now, shall we organize the space properly?’

Kookookookook!

With each swipe of his hand, the floor caved in and the walls rose or were pushed back.

It’s a very simple task for the upper earth spirits.

There, you just need to use a little bit of spatial awareness and careful magic control to fit the space together.

In the previously empty, rectangular space, new rooms and passageways were created, and the space was further expanded.

‘It might be a hassle to come out here every time, so I should make a secret passage in my house and hide it so it can’t be seen.’

Kugu palace!

He builds huge facilities according to his own taste.

At each entrance, a thick door was built to prevent anyone from entering.

It is a camouflage door that opens only when you are sensitive to his magic, so that you don’t even notice that there is anything there.

It was completely invisible to the naked eye from the outside.

‘The frame is now complete.’

He looked into the dark space around him.

Although it was well made, it was dark because no light came in, and as it was supposed to be, electricity had to be drawn to turn on the light.

Even if we put aside the cost and time involved, this is a matter that can be relatively vulnerable in terms of maintaining confidentiality.

But unlike in the past, he now had Alyssa.

Phaaaat!

The spirit lights created by Alyssa rose and illuminated the space.

Light that brightens every corner of the main space as well as each room.

The spirit light she created could last for years, allowing her to illuminate the underground for an incredibly long period of time without consuming any electricity.

“It’s your turn now.”

Oh Hyun-seong spoke while standing in a spacious room.

Then, the upper water spirit, Alvern, appeared behind him. He nodded and breathed a breath of pure white cold air.

A cold chill filled the room.

Not extreme cold that would freeze everything immediately, but a moderate level of cold that would last for a long time.

He created a spirit refrigerator and Oh Hyeonseong moved the meat into it.

“Okay, it’s all done.”

He shook his hands and smiled faintly.

The difference between refrigerated and frozen meat is huge, but if it’s frozen by the spirit’s cold, it’s a different story.

Albert was able to thaw and return what he had frozen to its original state, and he was able to do so without losing any of the taste of the meat.

‘With additional expansion possible, the warehouse problem has finally been resolved. Electricity bills have gone up a lot these days, so this is a huge benefit.’

Oh Hyun-seong nodded his head repeatedly, feeling very relieved after completely solving a problem that had always been on his mind.

Light, earth and water.

With just three spirits of different attributes, such diverse tasks were possible.

At that moment, a knock on the door was heard from above.

Although he could hear the sound vaguely, he knew who it was even before he checked it himself.

Because I had already been contacted.

“You’re here at just the right time.”

He climbed up the second passageway connected to the house and came up to the corner of the backyard.

Then he opened wide the door through which the sound had been heard.

“Ah… Hello!”

Lee Gil-sang lowered his head with a very tense expression.

I really thought you would come back without running away.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Oh Hyeon-seong nodded and said.

“Come in.”

Gil-Sang Lee enters the room.

Oh Hyun-seong quickly got to the main point after seeing his actions of kneeling down and giving him a burdensome look.

Gil-Sang Lee, who had collected a lot of clues as he had been instructed, laid out the documents he had brought.

“As you said, I’ve been investigating the source of the rice seeds! First of all, I focused on directly investigating the Russian mafia that we had dealings with, but it didn’t yield much results. As it turned out, they were just selling what they had accidentally found.”

“Then it’s a waste of time?”

“No. Look at this.”

Lee Gil-sang handed over a bundle of photographs tied with rubber bands.

Some photos showing samples of seeds that were leaked outside.

And there were a bunch of satellite photos that looked suspiciously like vents hidden among the bushes.

“More than ten original seeds that were leaked from somewhere have already been spread to various countries overseas, and the satellite photos taken here were all taken in one area of ​​South Hamgyong Province.”

“What? This photo was taken in North Korea?”

Oh Hyun-seong’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment.

The photo itself looked sufficiently ominous, but did not appear to have been manipulated.

But I wondered if there really was a large seed vault in North Korea.

It’s a story he’s never heard before.

“Are you sure about this?”

“I’m sure. It was given to me by a reliable overseas information broker I’ve been dealing with. He’s definitely not the type of person to say nonsense.”

“Hmm… North Korea. It seems worth checking out, but it’s in a bit of a tricky place.”

Oh Hyun-seong let out a sigh.

Gilsang Lee had found the coordinates of the suspected location, but getting there would not be as easy as it sounds.

After China became the worst devil in the world, the country of North Korea also collapsed not long after.

But even though the enemy that had been guarding the border was gone, crossing the border into Korea was still difficult.

A place where passage is strictly prohibited without government permission.

It would have been much easier if we had gone through Russia, but recently we heard that the border towards Vladivostok has been closed due to a sudden increase in the number of monsters.

However, it is too far to go via Khabarovsk, which is outside the blockade zone.

“Hehe, don’t worry about that. I’ve prepared everything.”

Lee Gil-sang proudly took out an envelope from his bosom.

Contained within are fake identities and special travel documents for research purposes.

Of course, even the permit documents are clearly fake.

Oh Hyun-seong was impressed by the rather plausible appearance of the document.

“You… were quite capable, weren’t you?”

***

‘It’s convenient because there’s a driver.’

Oh Hyeon-seong rode in Lee Gil-sang’s vehicle and traveled to Gangwon-do.

With Lee Gil-sang’s ability to hide and Oh Hyeon-seong’s skills, it would have been possible to secretly cross the border.

But they intended to pass through the gate themselves.

The reason was simply ‘tea.’

Crossing the border is fine, but it’s impossible to walk all the way to South Hamgyong Province without a vehicle.

Of course, if it is operationally necessary, it is certainly possible, but making such a choice now would be a waste of time.

So they headed to the ‘Eastern Gate’, one of three border gates partially open to civilians.

“Joe, you’re a little nervous.”

Lee Gil-sang swallowed hard.

Although he had led countless smuggling operations, he had never personally taken this route.

The border and the northern defense line were none other than the direct areas of the ‘Special Operations Command’.

Even the most ruthless criminal organizations rarely ventured into this place.

“Wake up. If you just get past this point, everything will be fine.”

Squeak.

They stopped their vehicles in front of the barrier at the checkpoint.

As expected of a major gateway, the facilities were large, and hunters in military uniforms with a murderous aura were stationed everywhere.

Even those standing guard in the Special Operations Command are high-level hunters.

When the approaching sentry knocked on the window, Lee Gil-sang rolled down the window and smiled kindly.

“Haha, thank you for your hard work.”

“Did you bring the documents?”

“Of course. There’s no way I missed it.”

“Hmm… You’re a researcher. Who’s the person riding next to you?”

“He’s my bodyguard. If someone like me were to go outside the border alone, wouldn’t I be killed without a fight?”

Oh Hyun-seong nodded his head slightly at the gaze of the man looking into the car.

As I turned over the documents I had received, there was also a forged document belonging to Oh Hyeon-seong.

It was a bit odd because there was only one escort, but as written here, a 9th-grade hunter would not die easily.

But then, the man looking at the documents stopped and frowned slightly.

“…Please wait a moment.”

The sentry left his post for a moment and then entered the building.

Of course, there were a lot of hunters stationed around, so it was not an environment where you could do anything frivolous.

Oh Hyun-seong looked around and felt something unpleasant.

‘I think… something is wrong.’

“Turn off the engine and come outside.”

‘also’

At the words of the approaching sentry, Gil-Sang Lee’s face turned pale.

I looked at him, asking what he should do, but Oh Hyun-seong just shrugged his shoulders and got out of the car first.

“Is there… a problem?”

“Yes, there is a problem. The permit date written here is clearly three days ago, but you came here after hearing that the form changed last month.”

A brief moment of cold, flowing silence.

“Ah! That, that…”

“What are you guys doing?”

Gilsang Lee and Hyeonseong Oh were surrounded in an instant.

Not only that, but all the hunters at the gate all turned their gazes toward them.

The moment you do something suspicious, your intentions are good, like creating a beehive.

“Uh, what should I do?”

“Sigh… What should I do? What should I do?”

Oh Hyun-seong sighed deeply and obediently raised his hand.

I don’t want to make a fuss here for no reason.

No, the commotion has already started, but if you refuse to be arrested here, it won’t end with just a regular commotion.

In the end, the two were subdued, lying face down and handcuffed.

“Are you also one of those cyber believers? Crazy people who believe there’s paradise in China?”

“Oh, no! We just happened to be over there! There aren’t any suspicious guys!”

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen handcuffs.’

Unlike Lee Gil-sang, who is desperately making excuses, Oh Hyeon-seong is lying face down in a state of complete innocence.

“Well, you’ll know if you look it up.”

The man placed his fingers on the tablet screen, which he had laid down.

All awakened people in the country were registered in the government computer network.

Not only is the affiliation and criminal record recorded, but even the hunter rank and gate conquest record are recorded in detail.

All of this identification can be easily verified with just one fingerprint.

“uh…?”

But the sentry who was trying to confirm Oh Hyeon-seong’s identity hesitated.

“No access… Private…?”

All hunters are registered in the database, and if the opponent is not a hunter, they will simply be marked as not a target.

But it’s being handled privately.

It’s a phrase I’ve never seen once in all my years of working.

The man, sensing something unusual, reported it via radio.

“What? Inaccessible. What do you mean?”

– I don’t know either. I don’t know if it’s a device error, but Lieutenant Choi, could you please check it for me?

“Hey, wait a minute.”

After receiving the data, Lieutenant Choi went to check it himself through his own account.

But surprisingly, even as a high-level jadeite, he could barely read it.

Most of the information was mosaic-processed and obscured.

[Top Secret]

“What… what is this?”

An individual’s personal information is classified as a top secret document.

Even the name and photo have been made private.

At least he was able to see some of the information that had been released, and unrealistic figures that he had never seen before were written before his eyes.

As he stared blankly at the screen, cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

“Hey, hey you punk! Let him go right now!”
