Episode 266: To Germany (1)
It was a video of several facilities of the Jeonghwa Guild in Seoul exploding.
First of all, it was not an explosion that occurred in a crowded place.
Although the Abyss hates the Purification Guild, it does not even touch the civilians within its territory.
Killing civilians? It is bound to be a big mistake on the part of building up a cause.
So it appeared that Abyss had intentionally targeted military facilities related to the Purification Guild.
Looking at the video that followed, it appears that an explosion was induced in the purification guild’s own armory or training facility.
‘Jang Si-hwan is not an idiot and there is no way he would have neglected security at a facility like that…’ The person who
created the cautious and thoughtful character of Jang Si-hwan was none other than himself.
Therefore, I knew Jang Si-hwan’s personality better than anyone else.
If it were a military facility or training facility, it would have had double or triple security as well as dense CCTV installation.
The fact that it was breached does not mean that general security was breached. It’s a higher-level issue.
‘There is an insider.’
It is the traitor within.
It is possible if it is a betrayal by an official who firmly believed that the Purification Guild was an ally.
This is because the higher the security in the facility, the greater the dependency on the person in charge, and thus the higher the authority.
It was not just yesterday or today that Abyss planted insiders in various forces.
Wasn’t the reason Eclipse’s Pyeongtaek branch completely destroyed recently because there was an insider?
Because there was a response from within, the defense facilities were neutralized all at once.
If we compare it to the history of hundreds of years ago, it is the same as a city gate opening from the inside. At that moment, the game is over.
‘In the original work, Lee Hyun-seok died before the work could begin in earnest, so there would have been no time for insiders to come forward.’
Insiders must have been around then too.
However, as Lee Hyun-seok died and Abyss was absorbed into the Purification Guild, the insiders must have disappeared.
Anyway, all you have to do is pretend and live like it’s not happening. I’m not going to confess the truth and say I was an insider.
‘Jang Si-hwan must be out of his mind too.’
A smile comes to my face when I think of this guy going through hard times. It is a noisy situation in many ways.
Now that we know that there is an insider, we will start looking for the insider internally.
Since explosions occurred in several places in Seoul, public opinion work will be needed to appease public sentiment.
We can’t turn back the fact that an explosion occurred, and we’ll probably try to somehow cover up the anger in the abyss.
All of these series of tasks are problems that are gnawing away at Jang Si-hwan’s spirit and interest like crazy.
As long as he continues to be caught in the abyss, it will not be easy for Jang Si-hwan to turn his attention elsewhere.
In that case, there is a high possibility that interest or concentration in oneself will naturally become loose.
Things that are visible when you look through a microscope are bound to not be visible when you look at them with your eyes.
“What is this?”
Kanghu turned his attention to another video and watched it intently.
It was a video of Chae Gwan-hyung’s battle.
For the most part, fight videos of Chae Gwan-hyung and Jang Si-hwan are not uploaded often. This is because it becomes the subject of analysis.
Nevertheless, the reason why Chae Kwan-hyung’s video was uploaded to the Jeonghwa Guild’s official account is probably to cover up the Seoul explosion or at least divert attention elsewhere.
Perhaps that’s why a number of hunter media accounts under the ‘management’ of the Purification Guild, led by the official account, rushed to pour out real-time videos.
In addition, influencers who were doing well on Hunter Gram also suddenly uploaded videos in a competitive manner.
“Issues are covered with issues. What happened just before is covered by what happened just now. “You’re smart.”
There was no answer as they were pushed out with a volume offensive. Before I knew it, the explosion-related video was pushed back.
In addition, the upload indicator disappeared, possibly due to simultaneous reports.
Because it was an obvious repertoire, Kang-hoo focused on Chae Gwan-hyeong’s battle video.
It appears that some of Chae Gwan-hyung’s core abilities were opened to cover up the issue.
I watched it while recording it as it was good analysis material for Kanghu. Because I don’t know when it will come down again.
“Hmm….”
While watching Chae Gwan-hyung in the video, Kang-hu fought his own virtual battle with him.
First of all, thanks to the Dimension Stealer’s fifth constellation effect, Chae Gwan-hyeong’s specialty, Short Blink, is limited.
This is because of the ability to move through space. The method of moving distractedly back and forth and left and right and looking for an opening is blocked.
but.
“That’s the problem.”
Chae Gwan-hyeong continued to use provocative skills that pulled the target toward him.
This made it difficult to keep the distance.
If you want to approach a distance where an attack is easy, you will be under the influence of the provocation skill.
This is because once you get out of that sphere of influence, you become so far away that the meaning of keeping the distance disappears.
“The designation order is also inconvenient.”
And Chae Gwan-hyeong’s skill, ‘Designated Order’, is a skill that suppresses the opponent’s range of activity.
We create a one-on-one stage that cannot go beyond a 30m radius.
If an attempt is made to leave, the barrier reacts violently and oxidizes the body of the being attempting to escape.
Neither Chae Gwan-type nor the designated target can leave, and external beings also cannot enter or leave.
A perfectly one-on-one space is created.
Therefore, he is reluctant to engage in close combat with Chae Gwan-hyung. Once designated, it is difficult to escape without dying.
Numerous situations are going back and forth in Kanghu’s mind, considering the number of cases in which the skill will be used.
It’s definitely not easy.
First of all, the level difference is three times that.
Chae Gwan-hyeong’s current level must be at least 750 or higher. Looking at the numbers, the battle itself cannot be established.
“You may not die, but. I’m not good at calculating how to kill a guy. Of course, even if it’s a whistle, it’s great.”
Kang-hu’s eyes deepen.
In fact, the most difficult thing is Chae Gwan-hyeong’s hidden skill, ‘Gwangyeon Slash’.
A 5-hit attack is launched, and from the 1st to the 5th hit, the damage soars in double increments.
So, it was safe to say that if you couldn’t avoid a 5-hit attack, there was a 99% chance of dying.
1% is a high probability calculated in case Chae Gwan-hyeong makes a mistake. It can be considered 100%.
‘But when I think back to when I woke up in the camp, it’s true that I’ve become incredibly strong now.’
I thought there was a long way to go, but at the same time, I also thought that the road I had traveled was quite long.
Still, it is now calculated that it is worth fighting against the members of the thirteen stars.
As time passes and we grow further, further assumptions will become possible. There are many positive issues.
“Oops.”
At that time, Kang-hu suddenly remembered something and immediately called K.
Come to think of it, if I leave for Germany tomorrow, I won’t be in the country for a few days.
I didn’t tell the old man that I had been to Germany.
And what’s even funnier is that, so casually, I didn’t even exchange contact information with the 100-year-old veteran.
Why did they do that? Because we’re not happy with each other yet? Or do you think K will bridge the gap on his own?
Anyway, as of now, there is no way to speak directly to the old man of a thousand years, so I had to borrow K’s voice.
When I called, K answered right away. It seems that it wasn’t time to sleep or rest yet.
– uh. Are you calling me suddenly?
“Sorry for being late at night.”
– What are you sorry about? What’s going on?
“I think I will be away for a few days due to an external request. “But I don’t have Master’s number.”
– ha ha ha! Did they wait for each other to ask for their number first? My brother said the same thing!
“Oh, I guess you got a call.”
– There you go! You seemed to be wondering what things you should prepare to be able to teach you meaningfully.
“Hmm…”
He is a guy who grumbles in front of you and looks like he doesn’t give you your heart easily, but his real appearance is different.
Kang-hoo was also very grateful because it seemed like he accepted him in a more meaningful way than he thought.
On the other hand, I also felt a desire to not disappoint him as a disciple. I wanted to show my skills.
– I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry and come back after work. I don’t know what’s going on, but be careful.
“Yes, please.”
– Sometimes he calls Yuri to say hello. Yuri said that he always contacts me first.
“All right. “I guess so.”
– Yuri’s thoughts about you are special. My wife and I are very busy, so we often neglect things, so I would appreciate it if you could fill in a little.
“yes. All right.”
– Then wait for your call.
That’s how the call ended.
What does it mean that Jeong Yu-ri’s thoughts about herself are ‘special’?
This does not mean that there are no emotions. However, that does not mean that there are many points of contact between Jeong Yu-ri and herself.
Although it was a special bond formed at Ground Zero, it did not develop into a deep relationship.
In terms of physical relationship alone, he could be considered closer to Ayane, with whom he spent the night consensually.
of course.
It is true that Jeong Yu-ri is a person who has a very high growth potential in the future and is certain to stand on the anti-Jeonghwa line.
So in the long run, Kang-hoo was a colleague who must be kept by his side.
No matter how much I think about it, I feel like pure love is a meaningless luxury to myself.
Above all, it is obvious that you will suffer a lot if you share in all the fate that will come your way.
Trials that are difficult to overcome even on your own with nothing to protect. I didn’t want to have a partner in that ordeal.
* * *
The next morning.
Kang-hoo, who met Ayane at the airport, looked embarrassed by the unexpectedly flashy dress code.
Not only did she wear full makeup reminiscent of wedding makeup, but the clothes she wore were also fancy dresses like those seen at famous film festivals.
The sniper rifle strapped to his back was completely unbalanced.
“I’m going to get on a plane anyway, so is there a need to dress like this?”
“It’s just my satisfaction. I didn’t specifically wear it for you, Kang-hu. “I hope you don’t get me wrong.”
“Right.”
“Right…?”
“That’s right. So I agreed.”
“….”
“I received a call in the morning. Did you know that the plane we will be taking is a charter flight?”
“no?”
“Well, I guess it’s a matter of consideration.”
“Well, didn’t it work out anyway? “It’s better if it’s just Kang-hoo and I because it’s quieter.”
“The treatment is better than I expected.”
“Hey, are you thankful?”
Ayane grinned.
He seems to be the type of person who doesn’t smile a lot, but he has really pretty lips when he smiles.
Although I don’t usually experience emotional changes.
Whenever I see someone smiling, I feel a warm, fuzzy feeling inside my heart.
Could it be a yearning or envy for an emotion that one cannot easily feel or obtain?
If I had one wish, it would be to laugh endlessly.
Until now, I have never felt that way or felt that way. So much so that I don’t even know what kind of feeling it is.
Anyway, thanks to going to Germany on a chartered plane, I felt comfortable moving around on the plane.
just as expected.
“So, it’s easier to wear casual character pajamas, but they wake you up in a different way.”
The clothes Ayane changed into as soon as she boarded the plane were pajamas with a motif of a famous Japanese cartoon character.
In Korea, the animation is famous for its dubbing and voice acting that surpasses the original.
The character pajamas worn by Ayane, who looks worldly haughty, had a surprising charm in itself.
