Chapter 136 – Next Operation (4)
An underpass ran beneath the solid foundations of the Diamond Club. Sewerage patrols were facing the same scene today, wearing gas masks. It was because of the possibility of committing an ingenious terror through the sewer. The hunters sympathized with the reason, but were circling the sewer with a complicated mindset that they wished they were more comfortable with the vigilance.
It was because it was not a human thing to cycle through the sewers that smelled like garbage and filth every day. In particular, the stench of the sewer was unbearable to the Hunters, who had more sensitive senses than the general public.
Diamond Club’s D-class hunter Kim Yo-han vomited at the smell of rotten eggs wafting through his gas mask. The senior who was put into the sewer before that said with a smile.
“Does it smell like shit? I don’t get used to it even if I do this. You are fucked. I have to do this for a week now, how can I hold on?”
“Seniors also endured. It will work somehow.”
“I can’t even smell it anymore. When we go outside, let’s not go out except for that garbage smell. Uh, the fucking cubs are not going to go. “
Their jokes traveled through the sewers. People got used to the sound of talking and laughing that sometimes came through the sewer, so they glanced down with a sullen expression and walked the streets doing their own thing.
There were CCTVs and patrol agents monitoring the hunters at the intersection. They were contacted by hunters with surveillance abilities perched on the roof of the Diamond Club and searched the hunters and those with suspicious equipment.
People who suddenly ran in this area or showed excessively suspicious movements were immediately arrested and searched by the police and hunters in connection.
“Hmm.”
Jang Ji-wan was sitting in his office today stroking his beard. It was because, in his view, the Diamond Club’s monitoring system was close to perfect. Perfect. There were no words he could describe the situation now more than that. There was no access to the ground, and there was no access to the sewerage underground. Even if they fly in the air, they will be detected by surveillance hunters, and even if they use civilians, they will be subdued the moment they show suspicious movements.
So Jang Ji-wan was sure that this time, the terrorist group would give up. It’s a pity that Kim Hyun-ki couldn’t be caught, but it was enough for now just to protect the diamond club.
Haha!”
Jang Ji-wan’s laughter echoed through the room. He saw the hunters watching everywhere with his satisfied face, then prepared to go out for his schedule. A pager was attached to his waist so that he could call himself at any time in case of emergency.
******
Haha… !”
The moment Jang Ji-wan smiled. Laughter spread from the basement. 50m underground, farther down from the sewer. When the confrontation between North and South Korea reached its peak after the 6.25 War, there was a tunnel made underground to cross over to South Korea.
Someone who accidentally found this tunnel started to renovate it to make it their home, and the people of the terrorist group who found out that this tunnel penetrates right under the diamond club murdered the person who renovated the tunnel. Made their own.
Under the clumsily trimmed ceiling, researchers from a terrorist group were sweating and installing gates. A surveyor, detailed maps, and even 3D simulations were used to place the gate under the diamond club. Since the purpose of this case was to make the gate ‘big’, a simple gate was not enough. He was making a gate big enough to engulf the Diamond Club building with determination and energy.
“What a great idea.”
In preparation for an unexpected situation, Kim Hyeon-gi and a masked man stood by the researchers. The masked man also nodded.
“I think so too. What a great idea.”
“You wouldn’t think anyone would be preparing something like this here, right?”
“Even those with surveillance skills wouldn’t even think to see this far, right? At best, it only scans the sewers.”
Kim Hyun-ki wiped the sweat from her face. Due to the nature of the crypt, the air was stuffy and the temperature rose quickly, making it hot. She turned on a fan to keep the temperature up, but that alone couldn’t stand her heat. The researchers looked at the blueprints and positioned the device while sweating all over their bodies.
Kim Hyun-ki giggled and looked at her plan once again. This plan was very simple and ignorant, but hot.
It was because the purpose was not to summon monsters through the gate. This time, he planned to summon the gate as large as the building’s width, and then push the gate upward. Like a giant snake devouring its prey, the gate that rises upward will devour the entire building of the Diamond Club, gnawing away at all the dirt and asphalt.
There was no way the Diamond Club could have predicted this ignorant operation. No matter how great S-class Hunter Jang Ji-wan was, there was no way to know what was going on while executing this operation. The hunters who were working inside the Diamond Club would be thrown over the gate without knowing why.
After that, they will immediately close the gate without giving them time or space to get out. Then it was over. The Hunters of the Diamond Club become lost children in another dimension without knowing what happened to them, and spend a hellish life fighting endless monsters.
For this operation, an output device was attached under the gate, and a drill was attached to each corner to make it easy to push up. Kim Hyun-ki laughed when he thought of Jang Ji-wan, who was still proud of their surveillance system.
“This time is really over. Jang Ji-wan.”
Kim Hyun-ki muttered that and got up from her seat. The man in the mask was so hot that he took off his mask, gasping for breath. Sweat pooled under the mask and dripped down. Kim Hyun-gi laughed and giggled at the sight.
“Oh, it’s too hot.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to bring an air conditioner?”
“I will. Let’s order some air conditioners and put them in. It’s too hot and the machine will break down.”
The masked man nodded his head.
********
The operation that no one expected was caught in the Diamond Club’s field of view due to a truly unexpected event. In the TV program that came to cover the Diamond Club’s vigilance operation, a camera was put in to interview the surveillance hunter on the roof. Just in time for the shift, the surveillance ability who finished handing over to the successor hunter willingly put his face in front of the camera.
His name is Park Yeol-ha. He is a congenital blind person, and when he was 19 years old, he manifested his surveillance-related awakening abilities. He was an A-class hunter who was more sensitive than others and monitored a wider range. He originally belonged to the [Amazing] Guild, but he was on a surveillance mission here in response to the Diamond Club’s request for support.
The questions were simple and trivial. How is the situation so far, and have you felt any danger while doing surveillance work here? And how do you feel about terrorism?
Yeol-ha gave a set answer to the banal question.
“Yes. Incidents like this shouldn’t happen again in the future. I am still working with the mindset of firmly preventing criminals from committing crimes.”
“Okay. Oh, lastly, how far can you see with your abilities?”
“Oh, I can’t see it. Detect. It’s a little different from what you see.”
Hunter, who was using his surveillance ability from behind, giggled. Hunter Park Yeol-ha also said with a bitter smile.
“Oh, sorry! I’ll edit this. That…”
The reporter covered his mouth in amazement and looked in the direction of the cameraman. The cameraman gave an ok sign and got the slate ready again. The reporter asked the question again as if nothing had happened.
“Yes. Hunter Park Yeol-ha. So, I wonder what the range of the sensing ability is.”
“Yes, like this, if you want to detect wide, you can detect wide. The narrower you narrow the range, the deeper you can detect. With my abilities, I can now detect quite a bit of depth with this entire building included.”
“Oh, I see. Thank you for your interview.”
The interview with the reporter ended warmly. The reporter once again apologized to Hunter Park Yeol-ha and bowed her head, and Hunter Park Yeol-ha nodded her head and said it was okay. After the reporter went down, Hunter Park Yeol-ha did not leave work right away.
He hardened his expression and found the Diamond Club office and opened the door. The hunters all stared at the hot hunter. Hunter Park Yeol-ha blinked his eyes and said.
“There’s something down here.”
