Chapter 868 – 868. Hero Academy (6)
Hwang Min-seo glared at me while wearing fresh autumn clothes and spoke softly.
“… I’ll come.”
“Okay. Come wag your tail to Oh Hyun-min.”
“Ha…”
Hwang Min-seo trembled her eyebrows and erupted in disgust at me.
But even though she vented her disgust, she didn’t talk back or sarcastically.
“How did I become like this?”
She just left the house with a lamentation in her mouth.
As soon as Hwang Min-seo left the house, Moon Joo-ah spoke to me in a worried voice next to her.
“Are you okay? Can you set me free like that?”
Moon Ju-ah’s concerns were understood.
Moon Joo-ah expected that I would perfectly embrace Hwang Min-seo and brought her here.
However, Hwang Min-seo’s reaction to me seems to be far from her relationship, so I can’t help but worry about her.
But I wasn’t particularly worried about Hwang Min-seo.
=====
*Hwang Min-seo (subordinate 2nd stage)*
=====
It was because she had already subordinated Hwang Min-seo.
I nodded her head as I took a relaxed posture while sitting on the sofa.
“The reason Hwang Min-seo is harsh is just because of her personality. ‘Cause she’ll never give up don’t worry.”
“What… If you say so…”
Moonjua sat next to me, unable to hide her anxiety easily.
Moonjua, who was sitting next to her, gently raised her head on my shoulder and opened her mouth.
“You said you would enter the dungeon today. Why do you want to go in?”
“…”
Until now, Munjua has not responded to my orders, and she has not asked why.
It just did what it was told to do perfectly.
However, even Munjua, who had been listening to her, seemed to be curious about my purpose.
I spoke honestly, without any lies.
“I’m trying to help the tower.”
“Huh… Are you from the top by any chance?”
“No.”
“Then, Erica?”
“No.”
“…”
Munjua pouted her lips and began to be silent as if lost in her thoughts.
I didn’t feel particularly guilty for seeing Moon Ju-ah like that.
Because she answered all her questions honestly.
I sat on the sofa and turned on the TV to check the news.
The news coming out now is just a rehash of yesterday’s article.
At least, if there is any information that has been added differently from yesterday… The news was that today was the day the tower would dispatch a search party.
Of course, the scene of the search party entering was not broadcast on the news.
It was because it was legally forbidden to disclose the location of the dungeon, the members of the search team, and their identities to the press.
However, there is also information that should not be known to the outside world…
“I think the search party will come in around 3:00.”
Moon Ju-ah already knew.
After obtaining additional important information from Moon Ju-ah, I nodded her head.
“Good. Shall we prepare it before we go in too?”
“Preparation? Can I buy some groceries?”
“No, there is no need for that.
I don’t know about others, but in my case, daily necessities were not important at all when entering a dungeon.
It’s enough to make it with Enel.
“Then what are you ready for?”
I stood up from her seat, pushing the head of Jua Moon who was leaning on her shoulder with my index finger.
Munjua pursed her lips as I suddenly pushed her head away with her fingers.
I didn’t care about Moon Ju-ah’s appearance, and I just kept my eyes on her TV.
The TV just started playing the voice I heard yesterday.
〈 A situation where everyone who entered the dungeon should be considered dead… However, the tower still refuses to acknowledge that fact. There is also a suspicion that perhaps he is trying to reduce the death compensation as much as possible…〉
The owner of the voice was the reporter who had asked Yeriel her first question yesterday.
‘That bastard is still there…’
I looked at the reporter and chewed her lips.
“Let’s take care of those bastards before we go in.”
***
A man sat down on a bench on the terrace and muttered in a weak voice.
“Ha… It’s tough. It’s hard.”
The man’s face was full of red spots that looked like skin problems.
Even the expression on his face was full of heartache.
The man grumbled again, in a voice that matched his looks and heartache.
“Ah, fuck… It’s going to be hard.”
He cursed and glared at the couple sitting next to him.
The couple, who first sat down and talked, started to leave as soon as they saw the man’s heartache and troubled face, as if they were seeing a rabid puppy.
“Let’s go somewhere else and talk.”
“Huh…”
The man and woman who looked like a couple left.
When the man kicked out the couple who had been seated first, he giggled and giggled with a triumphant expression.
“You think a broadcasting station is a place for lovers to play.”
The man’s name was Cheol-ho Man, and he was a reporter for a famous public TV station.
And this was the terrace of the broadcasting station he belonged to.
Man Cheol-ho was swearing because he didn’t want to see the couple, apart from the hardships.
When Man Cheol-ho, who has such an eccentric personality, was alone, he looked around with a satisfied smile.
The terrace had a wooden floor and matching flower beds and fountains.
It was a suitable place for a date course, but the only person there was Man Cheol-ho, who did not fit in with the terrace.
Cheol-ho Man, who smiled at the satisfaction of kicking out the couple just a moment ago, crinkled his forehead again and spat out abusive language.
“Ha… Bastards…”
There was one reason why he swears and gets angry.
“I pretended to be crazy and tied my arms, but with those guys who lowered their tails…”
The day before, at a press conference, he sacrificed himself and threw bait into the tower, because he didn’t get it right.
As if risking his life, Cheol-ho Man asked Yeriel a provocative question.
There were two reasons why he pretended to be crazy and asked Yeriel a rude question.
One was to sway her yerriel’s sanity to cause her to make mistakes, and the second was to give other reporters her yeriel’s shrewdness.
And there was only one reason why he made such a scheming.
“Ha… What is the money?”
It was because he received back money from an unknown organization.
It was also a lot of money to end this reporter life at once and play around for the rest of my life.
Cheolho Man put a cigarette in his mouth and inhaled it, then exhaled the smoke and sighed.
“Ha… Top… Perish quickly.”
The mission he was given for money was to make trouble for the Tower.
In addition, the mission only made it difficult this once, and it wasn’t the end.
It was to continuously lower the prestige of the tower.
At the very least, the tower had to reach a situation where it would receive the disgrace of being unable to regenerate.
“Since I live in this world, I spit out such vicious words at the tower.”
If it had been a few months ago, Man Cheol-ho would not have received such an absurd request.
He was also a journalist with experience, and had at least some common sense.
And for the Tower to collapse, it was completely absurd from common sense.
However, Cheol-ho Man, who received money and information from a secret organization, saw the possibility.
“It’s a tower that went down under the 3 major guilds…”
They came to the conclusion that the Tower could be inferior to the top 3 guilds.
“First of all, all the information I gave you was true. Are you sure that the information you gave me is also true? Now, if the tower releases other information at the same time as sending the search party…”
It was the moment when Man Cheol-ho thought to himself about his next plan.
(Kyaahahh!)
Suddenly, a female scream echoed from inside the building, shaking her eardrums unpleasantly.
“What, what… ? What a sudden scream…”
While Cheol-ho Man questioned himself, various screams and sounds of destruction began to be heard from inside the building.
Kwaaang! Pacan! Kakakang!
(God, monster!!!)
(Sa, save me!!!)
Thanks to his long career as a knight, Mancheol-ho was able to grasp the situation at once.
“Sir, fuck! Could it be monsters!? Nonsense! How monsters are in the broadcasting station… !”
Although the broadcasting station was not a national facility like the National Assembly or the Blue House, it was at least a place where many capable people prepared for terrorism were located.
Man Cheol-ho had never been attacked by monsters while working as a broadcasting engineer.
However, it reminded me of a precedent where the safest place in the world was terrorized.
“No! There’s no way it’s safe to be here when Evrika is also being terrorized!”
Cheol-ho Man thought so and started looking for a place to hide.
If he were a normal person, he would have left the terrace right away to escape the building, but Cheol-ho Man had a different idea.
“If you move for no reason and get caught in the eyes of a monster, you will surely die!”
While making such calculations, he was on the terrace…
“Fuck… Live and see!”
Shoveled into the trash can.
‘Seed… Fucking smell…’
As soon as I entered the trash can, the smell of unidentified filth entered my nostrils.
In fact, Man Cheol-ho’s behavior was rather excellent for an ordinary person.
There is nothing more stupid than showing pride in the face of death.
In addition, considering the recent dungeon terrorism that took place at the headquarters of Ebrica, it could have been much better to stay in the trash can on the terrace than to go inside the building.
Mancheol-ho put up with the smell of filth and listened to the sounds coming from inside the building.
(Kyaahhh!)
(Gagging!)
A scream echoed as if the world was about to perish.
But in a world where screams and destruction coexist…
Jerk, jerk, jerk.
A slightly strange sound was heard.
‘Bar, footsteps… ?’
It was clearly an ordinary footstep sound.
However, considering that it was an emergency situation, the footsteps were too calm.
The calm footsteps stopped, and then a man’s voice began to be heard.
“What? Didn’t you say you went to the terrace?”
And the woman’s voice answered the man’s question.
“Huh. He said he went to the terrace. This is the only terrace on this floor.”
The two of them exchanged a calm conversation, not caring about the screams at all.
“You have to find it quickly and catch it. If you miss this opportunity, it will be hard to catch.”
As soon as he heard the man’s words, Cheol-ho Man tilted his head and furrowed his eyebrows.
‘I hope those guys… ?’
Man Cheol-ho was able to guess the situation based on the man’s words.
It was the fact that the men and women who entered the terrace were the ones who committed the current broadcasting terrorism.
But suddenly I had a question.
‘Killing me… ? Are you referring to those couples? ?’
However, Cheol-ho Man’s guess was quickly shattered by the man’s voice.
“We need to quickly find and kill that guy named Mancheol-ho.”
As soon as Mancheol-ho heard his name, he was frightened and covered his lips tightly with the palm of his hand.
‘What!? Go, why is my name suddenly appearing!’
Cheol-ho Man listened to the conversation, hoping it was an illusion…
“He said he went to the terrace. Then you wouldn’t have gone far.”
“Then find it quickly and kill it. I’ve used it enough to take advantage of it, so I need to cover my mouth quickly.”
“Ha… If I had been here, I would have finished it a long time ago.”
After the two men and women finished their conversation, they made urgent footsteps and headed into the building where hell was spread out.
And on the terrace where the two men and women left…
‘This… These bastards!?’
Only Mancheol-ho remained in the trash can.
He snorted in anger even though he was in a trash can full of filth.
‘Fuck, do you think I will play into your hands!? Let’s see!’
Man Cheol-ho vowed revenge and waited in the trash for the terror to end.
***
As soon as Moonjua exited the building, she asked me cautiously.
“… Can I really let you go like that?”
What she asked was about Mancheol-ho.
Moon Ju-ah knew long ago that there was Man-cheol-ho in the trash.
Even Mancheol-ho’s presence was easy enough for me to recognize.
But I had signaled Moon Joo-ah to pretend she didn’t know, shaking her head.
The reason I delayed after giving the signal was simple.
“I can’t kill you right now. If you don’t do it, the tower can rise to the line of the suspect. But if we do this, they will fight each other on their own while we are in the dungeon.”
“But…”
Once you enter the dungeon, it becomes difficult to intervene in outside affairs.
However, if you plant doubts in this way not only in Mancheol-ho, but also in those who received back money like him, they will go wild on their own for a while.
I will move desperately because my life is at stake.
“At most, there will be limits because they are reporters, but at least they will pass the time while they are in the dungeon. And…”
“?”
I shrugged her shoulders as I looked at Moon Ju-ah, who was waiting for her next words.
“I’m going to kill you anyway, but it’s easier if you fool around and die before I come out.”
“… That’s a good idea.”
Jua Moon praised my plan and started manipulating her cell phone.
And after she touched the screen a few times, she said to me.
“The search party just entered the dungeon.”
As soon as I heard Munjua’s words, I nodded her head and replied.
“Good… Let us go in too.”
