I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 141

Episode 142

As soon as I opened the door and entered, a delicious smell hit me. A hunger I had forgotten came to me.

Ban Seo-jin was in the middle of a meal with a pot full of food in front of him.

“Do you want to eat too? “You look hungry.”

Perhaps because I looked very hungry, Ban Seo-jin suggested I eat first.

Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten anything since I left for the dungeon in the morning.

“I’m really hungry. “By the way, what are you eating?”

“Bone gamjatang.”

I asked in surprise.

“Have you been to Korea?”

Ban Seo-jin was currently in an uncomfortable position to travel to and from Korea.

Of course, she is still imprisoned in Hunter Prison on charges of murdering her colleague.

Her appearance was widely known over the airwaves.

Officially, he was not publicly wanted as he was still in custody, but there was a high probability that the public would remember him for his strong appearance that was difficult to forget.

But you took that risk and went to Korea just to buy gamjatang?

“no. I bought it from Canada. “Canada is famous for gamjatang.”

“…yes?”

Ban Seo-jin calmly answered, grabbing one of the spines and twisting it apart.

Canada?

“I don’t know? “It’s a specialty of Toronto.”

“What…”

Is this a joke?

I was hesitating whether to laugh or not, but Seo Ji-han quickly went to the kitchen and made two bowls of rice. He

then pulled out my chair and offered me a seat, as if telling me to sit down.

“Let’s gather and eat.”

Seo Ji-han carefully put down the spoon, put some food on the plate, and pushed it in front of me.

Ban Seo-jin looked at this with a lukewarm gaze and shook his head.

“Mr. Seo Ji-han, is it okay for you to materialize? Do you have time to eat? ”

When I sat down and asked, Seo Ji-han smiled and said,

“That’s okay.”

Seojihan, who has absorbed all of Jirgis’ magic stones, has been able to materialize for 9 hours.

In addition, he is currently absorbing Geogis’ magic stones, so he will be able to materialize for about 10 hours as of now.

Hmm, then it’s about time to eat . will remain.

After absorbing all of the Geogis magic stones, you will need to feed them the Inogis magic stones as well.

Then, Seojihan, which can materialize for 15 hours, will be completed.

“Why don’t you eat it?”

He asked me curiously whether he knew that I was secretly planning to ‘raise Seo Ji-han’.

Before I knew it, there was a pile of well-seasoned lean meat in front of me.

“No, think about it for a moment… No, it’s the food I bought for Ban Seo-jin to eat.” “What if you give me all the meat? I’m sorry, Ban Seo-jin. I didn’t touch this here.”

I’m grateful that Seo Ji-han cares about me, but I was a little embarrassed when he sometimes behaved in a way that was so inconsiderate of others. Sure enough,

Ban Seo-jin was staring at us with an astonished expression.

“It’s okay. I’m okay.” “I ate almost everything. You ate a lot.”

Ban Seo-jin let out a short sigh and gently waved her hand.

In fact, her bowl was almost empty. After

stuffing the last spoonful into her mouth, Ban Seo-jin took out a drink from the refrigerator and sat down on a chair.

Meanwhile, I I was diligently transferring the meat from my bowl onto Seo Ji-han’s plate, which was full of food in front of him.

Then, Ban Seo-jin, who was looking at the amount of food we were eating with a puzzled look, suddenly spoke up.

“You look very busy, huh?”

“Ah, I think Seo Ji-han gave me all the meat.”

As I answered while busily using my chopsticks, Ban Seo-jin looked at me with a puzzled expression for a moment.

“No, that’s not it. “I heard a lot of dungeons were closed.”

“Oh, that?”

“…Oh, that?”

I guess I answered too casually, and Ban Seo-jin copied what I said.

I had a hard time predicting what she wanted to say, so I just put the spoon in my mouth and rolled my eyes.

“Look at this here.”

When Ban Seo-jin made a gentle gesture, the laptop that had been lying far away flew out and landed on the table.

Telekinesis is really convenient. Seeing you write it so openly, it seems like you really have no intention of hiding it anymore.

“This story is on the Korean news all day long.”

As he said, the video on the laptop was in full swing talking about the recently closed dungeon.

“This is a heinous act that cannot be tolerated!”

A middle-aged man shouted excitedly on the screen, his face bright red.

〈Professor Kim, calm down your excitement. “Has it been completely confirmed that the person closing the dungeon is Seo Ji-han Hunter?” As

the host calmed him down in a calm tone, Professor Kim moistened his throat with water and answered with a slightly calm expression.

〈I guess so. Doesn’t the ranking score tell the story? This is Seo Seo-han Hunter alone. This is why there was a need for strong legal and social sanctions against solo hunters. Take a look. “You are monopolizing resources shared by the entire society!”

“I see. This is truly reprehensible. What will be the economic loss from this? 〉

〈Economic loss? It’s so enormous that it’s already meaningless to talk about it. All countries have oil fields exploding and making money, but only our country is shutting down its oil fields. “Don’t you know how diplomatically disadvantageous this will be?”

Professor Kim couldn’t control his anger and gulped down his water again.

〈Is our country the only one where dungeons are being closed?〉

〈Of course! What country would do something crazy like this? When I think about it, I shouldn’t have conquered the Demon King Dungeon in Korea. I think the hunter who attacked that dungeon was greedy.〉

〈I see. No one is closing dungeons overseas, but only in our country. Since this is an unprecedented situation, it seems that people from overseas are also paying attention. What do you think? 〈

Thank you for asking a good question. We are currently watching this situation overseas. And an international search is underway for Hunter Seo Ji-han. When

asked by the host,

“Can we catch him?” Professor Kim was silent for a moment and then answered in an angry tone.

〈I guess it must be difficult.〉

There was a gloomy atmosphere for a moment.

A short silence followed, and then the host let out a lamentable sigh.

〈This is breaking news that just came in. It is said that the Pergis Dungeon is closed.〉

〈Oh no.〉

The Pergis Dungeon is not actually closed.

However, as the dungeon was integrated, the existing entrance would have disappeared, so it would appear closed to them.

“Did you just close it?”

Ban Seo-jin, who was quietly watching the video, asked quietly. I answered calmly.

“Yes.”

The people on the screen began to criticize again.

“He is a public enemy of the entire people. How much national damage he is causing for his own personal gain.”

I slowly ate the gamjatang while glancing at the scene. I scooped up a drink and gulped it down.

〈This is a situation that requires international cooperation to arrest Hunter Seo Ji-han.〉

I feel like I will live a little better as hot soup goes into my stomach after starving all day.

〈In the case of Hunter Seo Ji-han, he has been in trouble several times before. It happened once. The two guild leaders who are currently hiding were quite close friends with Seo Ji-han Hunter, right?〉

Now that I think about it, wasn’t there a book called Chicken Soup that Soothes the Soul?

There should also be a book called Bone Gamjatang that Soothes the Soul. It’s like this. It’s so delicious.

Trying to think of something else, I looked at Seo Ji-han’s thoughts.

Fortunately, he was scooping up and eating the rice with a look on his face that didn’t seem to bother him.

He was eating well.

“That’s right.” “Should

I say that the two hunters are also cooperating with the current situation? ?〉

〈I think we should consider that to be the case. However, there is no significant change in the ranking scores of the two people. We are investigating the situation with the possibility of a third party in mind.〉 〈In addition to the arrest, we will negotiate with the hunter who served and the two guild leaders

. Is there any room?〉

〈That’s what they’re claiming over there.〉

One person who had been sitting quietly the whole time cautiously opened his mouth.

〈Professor Park, what does it mean?〉

〈Monsters will soon come out of the dungeon, so we have to close the dungeon. The information is being spread indiscriminately among dungeon officials.〉

〈What do you mean by it being spread…?〉

〈It is said that someone who identified himself as the former guild leader of the Skywalker Guild is relaying it to people through e-mail.〉

Seo Ji-han and I’s spoons stopped at the same time. After the last negotiation with the Korea Guild broke down, they said they would pass along information here and there, but

they must have been

sending emails to the officials. They were also busy in their own way.

Even so, this information was broadcast on the air. I had no idea that it would be revealed to the public.

Seo Ji-han and I held our breath and paid attention to how the broadcast would go.

“Do you believe that propaganda leaflet?”

A man named Professor Kim suddenly interjected and looked at Professor Park with pitiful eyes.

〈Still…〉

〈It’s probably fake information. And there is no evidence that it was really sent by the guild leader Banseohu, right? It could be a ploy by another country to steal Korea’s dungeon resources. I am taking advantage of the confusion to say this.〉

〈It appears that the same content is being spread not only in Korea but also in dungeon-related organizations in other countries.〉〈

It is justification. In any case, their essence is nothing more than terrorists who single-handedly rob the country’s natural resources. Since you’ve been criticized so much, aren’t you actually spreading that kind of information to make the case that this is for other people?〉 〈

Professor Kim, do you think the dungeon will stay like that in a safe state forever?〉

〈Professor Park, then, is it a propaganda piece like that ? “Are you saying that we should at least bury all of our nation’s strategic resources in the ground?” As

the argument between the two professors became more and more intense, the host intervened.

〈You two professors, please calm down. What’s the point in fighting among ourselves? In any case, what is certain at the moment is that the national damage caused by Hunter Seo Seo-han’s actions is very great. What are they saying? How is the hunter industry accepting the information that monsters can appear in dungeons? The

host gave Professor Kim the floor. Professor Kim snorted and opened his mouth.

〈Not even the seeds work. Well, it seems that sometimes, among naive people, there are people who really believe that and are shaken.〉

Professor Kim’s eyes were looking exactly at Professor Park.

It seems like a spark is flying between the two.
