When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 60



Only Krnovel

60. This is the men’s room.

“… That’s true.”

Oh Hyun-seong sat on the flower bed and looked at his cell phone screen.

News about foreign leaders’ visits and summit meetings is coming out here and there.

I’ve had to turn off my attention to the goings-on of the world for the past month, but I’m a little ashamed that I didn’t even know about this.

Anyway, now that I know the circumstances, I understand why they wouldn’t let me go near the building.

‘The problem is… Yoon Seol-ha’s traces lead inside that building.’

His former junior, Yun Seol-ha, was a specialist in assassination and espionage operations.

He mainly worked as an intelligence agent in foreign countries, and was a capable agent who could solve difficult missions without difficulty.

Simply being strong and fighting well and being good at getting things done are two different things.

She was a trustworthy junior who satisfied both sides.

But in the meantime, a problem arose.

When China was devastated by the emergence of new special species, all of the special forces agents were drafted and sent to the front lines.

This was the case not only in Korea but also in all neighboring countries.

A time when hunters from each country were divided into many groups.

Oh Hyun-seong and Yoon Seol-ha repeatedly blocked waves of monsters of a terrifying scale and fought against special species that overturned conventional wisdom.

The front line at that time had long since become a land of death filled with turbidity.

It was a horrific scene that felt like hell to them, even though they had been through all kinds of scenes.

When you turn your gaze, you see a gloomy environment filled with only human corpses and monsters.

Even in such extreme circumstances, they miraculously achieved great success and survived steadfastly on the Chinese front lines.

But in the end, tragedy struck.

At the time, high-ranking Hunters were known to be immune to Awakened Mental Disorder, also known as ‘Psychosis’.

High-ranking Hunters have much higher resistance to psychic energy and have a high threshold, so psychosis has never been manifested.

However, due to continuous exposure to the harsh environment and thick turbid air, their bodies reached their limits, and Yun Seol-ha became the first high-ranking hunter to be consumed by the spirit of an Awakened One.

When psychosis manifested in a 12th-rank Hunter, a national power, she became one huge disaster.

Her mere presence was enough to blow a hole in one side of the front line, and she was eventually disposed of.

In the hands of comrades who have fought together, risking their lives.

‘But… if the guy was in a state of psychosis, all the paths he took should have been scorched by now. But they weren’t.’

Hunters consumed by psychosis lose all reason, become extremely aggressive, and attack humans indiscriminately.

But while following the traces of the earth and moving here, not only did the streets not evaporate, not a single person died.

This is an impossible story if you were in a state of psychosis.

‘Of course… even if you simply say that he overcame psychosis, there are still many things that are incomprehensible.’

If he had come to his senses again, why did he kill a hunter he had no contact with, and why did he head to this place where the summit was taking place?

There were still many questions.

It was impossible to make a proper guess at this point, but either way, it didn’t feel good.

“let’s go.”

Oh Hyun-seong jumped up from his seat, hugged Melts, and headed toward the building.

I had to get inside somehow.

Of course, the security personnel standing guard like an iron wall around the building would not let him in.

“It’s urgent. I have to go in right away.”

“No, so who are you to say that?”

There was a suspicious man holding a puppy and he was telling me to go in and check urgently.

Naturally, they couldn’t let them in.

Then Oh Hyeon-seong glanced around and slightly strengthened his hand.

Since persuasion is not possible in this situation, they are trying to force their way through.

‘Anyway, a small commotion can be dealt with later. But on the other hand, if a major accident happens here, it won’t end with just dealt with.’

The moment Oh Hyun-seong raised his hand with the intention of knocking out both of them at the same time and then running inside.

“Huh? Aren’t you Mr. Oh Hunter?”

The head of the National Security Agency’s Public Security Bureau, Seo Ho-yeon, appears.

A subordinate of Baek Ji-su who helped obtain the original seeds of rice that were released on the black market last time.

Oh Hyun-seong opened his eyes wide at her unexpected appearance.

“Was the security service here too?”

“Oh, yes. Normally, it would have been the responsibility of the security service, but it’s intertwined with our work.”

“Good. Please let me in. There’s something urgent.”

“If it’s urgent…?”

“Something could go wrong inside me right now.”

“An incident… I don’t know how you found out, but you don’t have to worry. We’ve already figured it out.”

Oh Hyeon-seong was surprised by her words.

Are you saying that the security bureau has already noticed Yoon Seol-ha’s movements?

But when I actually heard the story, it was a different story.

“…IAE is targeting this place?”

IAE is an extremist group that advocates for the ‘superiority and liberation of the awakened’.

The Awakened extremists were a worldwide phenomenon, spreading in the shadows like a fad, but they were an international terrorist organization with a formidable force.

A bunch of crazy guys who are causing havoc all over the world with a scale and power that would be impossible for a normal terrorist organization.

The reason they can have that level of influence is because of their strong ties to several dictatorships in the Third World where the Hunters hold power.

“South Korea and France are typical non-awakened governments, and they were plotting to assassinate both leaders during this summit. Of course, we found out about this in advance and have already taken action.”

We arrested IAE members who had sneaked into the country, and killed and arrested 19 people near the current scene.

So completely unnoticed by the crowds outside or the media.

There was a reason why not only the hunters from the Secret Service but also the agents from the Security Bureau were stationed there.

Then, Oh Hyeon-seong, who was at a loss as to where to start explaining, shook his head once and opened his mouth.

“Can I come inside for a moment?”

“Let’s do that.”

She nodded readily, since she had no reason to stop him since he was already an acquaintance and his identity was confirmed by Baek Ji-soo, the head of the National Security Agency.

As soon as she said a word, the hunters from the security service who had been stubborn until just now quietly stepped aside.

But as they were about to go inside, a man suddenly ran up and stopped them.

“What are you guys doing over there now!”

Chief of the Presidential Security Service, Jeong Pil-ho.

A large man with a fierce expression strode in front of him, accompanied by several hunters.

“Hey, you punk! What are you doing? Why are you loitering around in front of the conference room?”

“…”

As Jeong Pil-ho spoke passionately, spittle flew out and landed on his cheek.

I never thought I would be subjected to such an unexpected terrorist attack here.

Seo Ho-yeon, who saw Oh Hyeon-seong wiping his cheek with a shit-eating expression, crumpled his expression and intervened.

“Jung Pil-ho, be careful what you say. Don’t do anything crazy to our guests.”

“You guys? Is this your secret hideout in the Security Bureau? You guys are barging in and causing a stir! You guys are letting outsiders in and making holes in the security, and if something goes wrong, you guys are the ones taking responsibility!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I called you here for our counter-terrorism mission. You go back and guard the front gate.”

“Ha… These guys just keep saying yes and moving on, so we look like shit.”

Bam.

Jeong Pil-ho shot Seo Ho-yeon a murderous look.

Oh Hyun-seong, who had been quietly watching him, seemed to know what was going on, but he had no time to follow the rhythm.

“Should we stop there?”

“what…?”

“I don’t have time to listen to you bickering about fighting. Your president is about to lose his balls.”

“This kid…! How dare you put Your Majesty’s neck in your mouth!”

Oh Hyun-seong burst into laughter at the sight of him shouting fiercely.

It must be the 7th Republic now.

It feels like we’ve gone back to the days of the Fourth Republic.

Jeong Pil-ho, who became even more excited by his appearance, tried to approach Oh Hyeon-seong quickly.

Ugh.

At that moment, someone grabbed Jeong Pil-ho’s shoulder.

Jeong Pil-ho nervously shook his shoulder and tried to shake the hand off, but the heavy force pressing down on him did not allow his hand to move at all.

Jeong Pil-ho, who was following behind, froze for a moment.

“What are you guys doing here?”

Baek Ji-soo was looking at Jeong Pil-ho with cold eyes.

***

Jeong Pil-ho was a famous hunter.

Even Oh Hyun-seong, who had never met him before, recognized him the moment he saw him, so he could be considered one of the big names in the hunter world.

A high-ranking figure who is also the 11th rank expert and the head of the presidential security service.

But even he didn’t dare to do anything to Baek Ji-soo, so controlling the traffic was really simple.

“…Yun Seol-ha’s traces led here?”

“Yeah, just in case, we need to evacuate the president.”

Oh Hyun-seong walking down the hallway with Baek Ji-soo.

At his words, Baek Ji-soo immediately contacted the lower floor and ordered them to have the vehicle wait in advance.

The two spoke, maintaining a quick pace.

“I have to stay by the President’s side while he evacuates. What do you plan to do, senior?”

“I have to find Yun Seol-ha.”

“If Han Su-yeon heard that, she would be horrified.”

Baek Ji-soo smiled faintly.

“You’re more willing to give in than I thought. I thought you’d take the initiative yourself, but this is unexpected.”

“I have no intention of being overprotective like that guy. But if something goes wrong, I’ll kill Yun Seol-ha myself. So, whatever conclusion you reach, come back alive.”

Bam!

They entered the conference room.

Some people were startled by her sudden appearance, clutching a long sword, but Baek Ji-soo paid no attention and approached the president.

When she whispered something, the startled president stood up from his seat.

Soon, they started to leave the conference room in a hurry, making a fuss.

However, the president, who was passing by the gate, stopped for a moment and stared at Oh Hyeon-seong.

“Haven’t we seen you somewhere?”

“… it must be an illusion.”

“You must go now.”

Baek Ji-soo led the president out of the conference room.

The leader of the opposing country also quickly leaves the place as security rushes in.

‘If there is a blank check, at least the president has nothing to worry about. Of course, there are still real issues to deal with.’

Oh Hyun-seong, who had left the conference room, looked around.

I felt it while coming here, but as expected from a place where heads of state gather, security was tight.

There is no way that even the skills of clumsy terrorists can break through this security.

But if it were Yoon Seol-ha’s ability, all the security here would be nothing more than scarecrows.

Oh Hyun-seong released the Melts he was holding.

Melts, who had been sniffing around, chased after the trail that had gotten closer.

I can now tell that she’s right here, without even needing my psychic senses.

Ugh.

Hyunseong entered the bathroom.

In a space filled with the smell of blood.

The corpses of the mangled hunters are scattered around.

Oh Hyeon-seong’s face naturally frowned as he saw a bout of madness that did not seem to be the work of a human being.

‘This is…’

A woman standing in the middle of it all.

A face covered in blood, with a faint red glow in the eyes.

But she looked at Oh Hyeon-seong and slowly lowered the sword she was holding.

“Seo… Senior…”
