I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 73

Episode 074

No, this guy is going to be in big trouble!

“yes? “No, no!”

Seo Ji-han intervened with good timing.

– Follow me. I once saved you when you were trapped in a Chungwangryu dungeon. It’s true, right? I said I knew because I saw him fighting next to me at that time.

He clicked his tongue and quietly gave some advice. I quickly accepted his words.

“Once upon a time, when I was trapped in a Chungwangryu dungeon, Seojihan Hunter saved me. I also saw a fight back then. “It’s such a strong memory that I still remember it.”

“Hmm.”

“It’s real!”

There was silence for a moment.

The cold desert wind hit my sweaty back.

Eundam Yoo, who had been looking at me in silence for a while, suddenly shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.

“I understand first of all. Well, he’s probably going somewhere and doing well, so don’t worry about him. “To be honest, he is the strongest person I know, so even if he goes into the boss dungeon alone, I think he can easily kill him and come out.”

Eundam Yoo laughed lightly, but I couldn’t laugh along.

The dead Seo Ji-han, standing next to him, was quietly looking at Yu Eun-dam.

I felt so lonely that I suddenly felt like I couldn’t breathe.

“Hmm, but I still don’t know why they’re making such a big deal. “Hunter Seo Ji-han and I are both not easy opponents to mess with.”

When I nodded my head in agreement, Eundam Yoo continued speaking as if he was a little embarrassed.

“Furthermore, it is a fairly useful combat resource for the country, so there is no reason to remove it. Even though Jihan is a My Way type, he tends to cooperate in emergencies.”

Those words made me lost in thought as well.

Seo Ji-han and Yoo Eun-dam were definitely among the strongest hunters in Korea, and as such, they were talents that the country cherished.

Why someone like that?

Wouldn’t it be better to use cajoling?

In any case, there would be no way for Seo Ji-han to stand up to a powerful person who controls the media.

Oh, is that by any chance making public opinion worse?

So that the image of Seo Ji-han deteriorates so much that he becomes so alone that he has no place to go and no influence?

“ah.”

“yes?”

“Jihan and I have one thing in common.”

“What is it?”

“I’m saying I’m in favor of killing boss monsters. And it has strong enough attack power to take down boss monsters.”

Strong attack power?

Did Yoo Eundam have something like that?

You couldn’t catch all the Vargis earlier, so I caught them.

I didn’t really point that out.

Well, I killed Vargis once when he was in a slow state, so I can say he has firepower.

By the way, when I think that anyone who opposes killing a boss monster is an enemy, one person suddenly comes to mind.

Ban Seo-hu, leader of the Sky Guild.

A person who was Seo Ji-han’s friend.

The reason why Seo Ji-han left the Sky Guild and fought with Ban Seo-hu was because Ban Seo-hu maintained the dungeon and hoped to use its items to deal with future events, while Seo Ji-han hoped to quickly remove the dangerous dungeon. .

It was a conflict of opinion with its own valid reasons, making it difficult to pinpoint one side as evil.

However, if Seohu Ban really decided to eliminate all hunters with the firepower to kill the boss monster, his scale would clearly tilt towards ‘evil’.

Moreover, for the benefit of a large guild, they murder a small guild’s strategy team, kidnap the guild leader of another guild, manipulate public opinion, and frame an old friend to make him an evil person who cannot even be guided?

This is truly crossing the line.

The more I thought about it, the more I became convinced that Ban Seo-hu was behind it.

Now that I think about it, I think I heard that in the past, he often did things to blame Seo Ji-han.

Seo Ji-han had a complicated expression.

Even though we had a falling out, we were old friends.

Although they split due to differences of opinion, it was not a terrible breakup.

However, if that friend wants to kill him and his close younger brother…

– It’s not certain yet.

Seo Ji-han must have sensed that I was thinking of Ban Seo-hu and muttered softly.

Okay, let’s not be too hasty in guessing.

“Hmm, I can’t think of anyone in particular. Isn’t it too much? “I’m suspicious of everyone who sells dungeon items.”

Yu Eun-dam spoke calmly, as if he was unaware of the fact that Seo-hu Ban and Seo Ji-han were fighting.

Well, it’s not just Seohu Ban.

Since we said there were huge interests involved, Ban Seo-hu might just be one of many enemies.

“Is that the end of that camera footage? I think I have to go soon, but it would be nice to get some more information before I go. There should have been an interrogation, but Vargis showed up and ruined it all.”

Yu Eundam looked back at me, stretching his clasped arms.

After hearing that and looking at the video list, there was another separate folder on the outside.

When I went in, there were a few more videos, most of which were recent.

Looking at the thumbnails, it looks like they were all taken in the Chungwangryu dungeon.

“There’s more.”

Eundam Yoo quickly approached.

It would make things easier if the secret conversations between the masked people were recorded.

“I’ll play it.”

The first video was about something I didn’t know.

I think it was probably the Vargis Dungeon, but there were a lot of things like Avitanis growing there.

And countless people were collecting Evitanis while being watched by someone.

The screen is small so you can’t see it clearly, but there was a commotion among the people collecting and it seemed like some of them were protesting to the supervisor.

And then whips and fists flew at them. The sound of being struck continued and the video ended.

“What is this?”

What did I just see?

Is this what I think?

Eundam Yoo also looked very shocked.

And it seemed like I had a clearer idea of what this was.

“You look like you know what’s going on.”

“This is a farm.”

Yoo Eun-dam bit his lip and answered in a low voice.

Eundam Yoo added an explanation even though I didn’t say anything, perhaps making a face like I needed an additional explanation.

“I only heard rumors, but they say there is a criminal organization that kidnaps non-combat hunters and uses them as gathering slaves. Since we are continuously raiding domestic dungeons, there is no way such a crime could be hidden. So I thought it was a rumor. But…”

Although the voice in the video was small, it was clearly in Korean.

“So, it’s either not a domestic dungeon or you’re doing it out of sight.”

“It doesn’t make sense. How often do you raid dungeons? “It’s impossible to avoid the eyes of all guild members…”

Yu Eun-dam paused as he spoke.

He seemed to have remembered that the members of the Shadow Guild were not very trustworthy people.

The reason he was imprisoned in the first place was because it was done by a guild member who believed that.

By the way, there were real gathering slaves.

If I hadn’t known this and lived my life revealing my skills to the world, I might have been in this video too.

The thought that I had almost been captured as a slave gave me chills.

After all, the more you hide your abilities, the better.

Let’s be careful again and again in the future.

Wow, by the way, if I hadn’t woken up, I wouldn’t have even dreamed that something like this was happening in the world.

I praise myself for staying alive safely despite not knowing anything…

Wait a minute, is this a situation where it’s okay to say I’m alive and well?

It’s much better than a gathering slave.

“But do you know where this dungeon is? “At first glance, it looks like a Chungwang type dungeon.”

Hearing what I said, Yoo Eundam looked at the screen carefully again. And he nodded.

“It looks like the Evitanis flower field near Vargis’ hideout. “Hmm, I guess I used my magic to create a barrier over there and turn it into a farm.”

“There must have been other gangs in the dungeon. So, in charge of the farm.”

“Yes.”

“Then those people must have escaped through the gate that was created after Vargis died, right?”

“Maybe.”

I hope so.

“These videos might be useful. “Take good care of it.”

I nodded and placed the camera back in my inventory.

In fact, I feel like reporting this video to the media right now.

However, even if I report it, I am not sure whether it will be broadcast normally.

It’s not just this video. Even if people who escaped from farms directly complained about their life as a gathering slave, there was a high possibility that it would not work.

In the worst case, you could end up being manipulated by the media.

If they find me alive while looking for an informant, my family will also be in danger.

The only way to use the video was after revealing everyone behind the scenes and evacuating the family to a safe place.

“Then I will first return to the Shadow Guild and contact other guild leaders.”

Eundam Yoo said as if he was about to leave.

“Oh and.”

He suddenly pulled something out of his inventory.

It was two small, well-packaged cookies.

green and pink.

He broke them each in half and handed one side to me.

snack? suddenly?

“There is a possibility that unsecured cell phones can be wiretapped, so this is the way to communicate.”

From the context, it seems like we should contact each other through this snack, but I’m not sure what that means.

Why did you take out two and split them in half instead of giving me the whole one?

Does it taste different?

“I’ll eat the greens. “Keep the other half here.”

When I took the snack, Eundam Yoo ate the green one he had.

“The pink yam fruit is gathered by hand and eaten by hunters.”

Saying that, Eundam Yoo took half of the pink snacks he offered me to eat and put them in his inventory.

The snack is a fruit fruit the size of an index finger with a crispy texture.

Even the glutinous rice powder gets on my hands.

It looks really delicious, but what is it?
