Episode 292 Infernus (2)
– Interest in Yuuji is very hot on the Black Network. I guess he’s not a normal kid, right?
“yes.”
– I guess curious people are digging into Yuuji’s background. There was more interest than we thought.
“So you’re taking care of yourself?”
– huh. I think I’m waiting for the interest to die down. Aside from your feelings for your brother, you must be careful since he is a wanted criminal.
“If you’re going to do that, you should just stay quiet in Japan. You get so angry that you come into the country and go into hiding. “He’s a funny guy.”
– I’ll probably move as soon as I feel like I’m losing interest. My brother said the same thing, so don’t let your guard down too much.
“Today is the hundredth time. “Don’t worry, I won’t let down my guard.”
– My goal is to get my brother to say that again. You’ll be reminded of it at least once, right?
“If this were a game, your relationship score would already be negative.”
– Anyway, my older brother Yuuji will hit me right away as soon as any news comes out. do not worry.
“Don’t worry. Then, if anything happens again, contact me. “I know that because I will read your daily contacts.”
– No, I must confess that I read it…
“I’m doing well.”
– Yes, you are doing well too!
After the call ended.
Kang-hoo thought it was amazing to see Park Dong-jae, who was always full of positive energy.
I also think like that when I look at Jeong Yu-ri. He always maintains high tension and is full of passion in everything he does.
What is a ‘hot’ life like?
What does it feel like to feel so happy that your heart is about to explode? What about the feeling of loving someone so much?
It was vague, as if I was recalling a world I had never been to. I don’t feel any waves or vibrations of emotion.
On the other hand, the feeling of wanting to kill someone like crazy, trampling on them, hitting them, and sinking coldly is familiar.
This time, I felt like this tendency was further strengthened as I spent time on personal training.
Of course, I had been taught to do so by the Cheonsa old master, but the tendency to do so had been growing stronger even before.
“Whew…”
Kanghu sighed and leaned back against the soft sheets.
It is very important to remain in top condition to endure the hardships associated with Infernus.
I wasn’t particularly sleepy, but I was planning to squeeze in some sleep in case I got tired.

Thanks to Hyungseo Moon, I was able to easily arrive in front of the market building in Busan where Bokhwa Kang was located.
Hyeong-seo Moon said a brief hello to Yu-ri Jeong, who had come out ahead of time and was waiting, and then immediately returned to Ground Zero.
Even if K’s permission was obtained and there was another bodyguard named Hwang Bo-hye next to K.
It seemed like it would be more comfortable to go back than to stay abroad for a long time.
Immediately left alone with Jeong Yu-ri, Kang-hu followed her guidance and entered the building.
As before, I took the route that led straight to the VVIP exclusive lounge.
Thanks to Jeong Yuri, several verification procedures applied to visitors were passed with a high pass.
“brother! how have you been doing?”
“huh. I had a good time. It seems like I’ve been riding a lot lately. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this bronze before.”
“that’s right! I guess it’s because every dungeon I entered was set against cloudless daytime weather…”
“You look healthy and much better. Personally, I’m jealous.”
“Well, isn’t it an unimaginable bronze color for a vampire type like you? “Huh.”
Jeong Yu-ri tapped Kang-hu’s white wrist, slightly exposed through the end of a long sleeve, with her finger.
The color contrasts even more with her tanned, tanned fingers right in front of her.
When Kang-hoo looked at Jeong Yu-ri, her constellation information was naturally scanned.
‘Meanwhile, another one has increased.’
A new constellation has been added to Jeong Yu-ri.
Before, a constellation named ‘Hwashin’ was attached to Kanghu, surprising him, and this time it was similar.
【Mathematician in Wonderland】
【Depending on the contractor’s enlightenment, the scale and frequency of utilizing space increases.】
‘It’s a constellation tailored to Yuri Jeong.’
She has many abilities, but one of the most useful is her spatial connection ability.
It is similar to the ability used by Kenji Hosaka and Jang Si-hwan, whom he had previously faced in Japan.
The fact that Jeong Yu-ri, who specializes in such areas, has been given a custom constellation means that her abilities will develop further.
It was great to see that she seemed to be undergoing steady, upward changes.
Kang-hu continued walking after her and changed the topic to something else.
“It looks like you were in Busan, right?”
“huh! These days, I’ve been going through dungeons all the time. “I guess there are a lot of grandmothers’ connections around here.”
“It will be easy to work with. “Doesn’t the area of activity overlap with the Haeyoung Guild?”
The reason Kang-hoo mentioned Hae-young’s guild is because Hae-young’s guild is connected to Jeong-hwa’s guild.
She is a person who resents and hates the Purification Guild to the point where she hates it.
If so, the view on Haeyoung’s guild cannot be good, and in fact, the quality of Haeyoung’s guild itself is very poor.
“Yes, there are many places to be active even if you go a little outside of Busan. “Wouldn’t you be surprised if you found out how far grandma’s breath can reach?”
“Then that’s a relief.”
“I’m going to be a dungeon addict and growth addict like my brother. “My brother’s presence itself is a huge stimulus.”
“A role model like that is always welcome. Don’t overdo it though. “Be careful of over-face.”
“Oh! Brother, I heard you became a disciple of the old man who lived a thousand years ago? Congratulations! “I guess the strict old man liked you?”
“That’s it.”
“You met Hae-mi too, right?”
“huh.”
“Haemi doesn’t talk much, but her heart is warmer than mine. Please take care of me a lot. “This is a child who is in a lot of pain…”
“Yes, I understand.”
In Kang-hoo’s eyes, Jeong Yu-ri seems to have more wounds and pain than Joo Hae-mi.
However, the reason why Jeong Yu-ri cares more about others is because she is that kind of person by nature.
Be considerate of others and pay more attention to their feelings.
To achieve this, they specialize in suppressing and sacrificing their emotions.
To be honest, they are the type that is perfect for being taken advantage of and the most difficult to take care of for their own sake.
Kang-hu was a case that he was trying to avoid, but at the same time, he was also jealous. Because it’s not easy to have that kind of mindset.
“Grandpa, a thousand-year old man, is also a really warm-hearted person. You don’t do that to your brother, right? “They’re all intentionally pretending it’s not happening.”
“I thought he was like a very different grandfather, both on the outside and the inside.”
“Phew! that’s right. “It suits you perfectly.”
After all, the thoughts we have when looking at the same person seem to be the same.
While Kang-hoo shares his secret thoughts with Jeong Yu-ri.
Before they knew it, the two were able to arrive at the secret room created separately in the VVIP lounge.
As before, a man and a woman were guarding the front and politely greeted Jeong Yu-ri.
On the other hand, even though Ganghu was already old, he was not viewed with as much suspicion as before.
‘It’s still the same.’
The man on the left is a hunter who has carefully looked into constellation information before.
A hunter who signed a contract with a constellation that has the ability to turn back time. He is a very interesting hunter.
On the other hand, it was also the type of person I least wanted to deal with. There is really no way to turn back time.

Upon entering, Kang Bok-hwa smiled brightly and welcomed Kang-hoo.
Her hand to shake was much rougher and rougher than Kang-hoo had expected.
Kang Bok-hwa had so many calluses that it seemed like he had used his hands a lot at one time.
“How you doing?”
“Thank you.”
“Hoho, I didn’t do anything. I’m glad you’re okay. “The world is so scary these days that I’m worried a lot.”
As before, Kang Bok-hwa used polite language towards Kang Hu.
I said it was an iron rule. Be courteous to all guests, regardless of age or gender.
“Still, I listened to the news around me and focused on taking care of myself. “I haven’t been caught up in anything noisy yet.”
“Fortunately, the. By the way, how is K?”
Kanghu burst into laughter at the unexpected question.
Of course, it is true that Kang-hu is a guest from K’s place, but he asks the guest about his husband’s well-being.
Kang Bok-hwa, who must have read Kang-hoo’s intentions, smiled brightly and added the reason.
“If I keep contacting them first, that person’s momentum will definitely increase. “I really hate seeing that mess.”
“You are doing well. “It seems like there are a lot of items to be delivered to the Purification Guild recently.”
“Hagiya. It must be because of the battle taking place in Dongducheon, right? “The demand for magic stones has also increased significantly.”
Interest in the Battle of Dongducheon continued to increase as time went by.
The battle, which was thought to end in a short period of time, turned out to be a long-term war, so it was the merchants who moved the fastest.
Kang Bok-hwa is one of them.
On his way in, Ganghu already saw magic stones being delivered in large quantities. It was more than ten truckloads.
“Anyway, everything is fine.”
“The bereaved families will be arriving soon. You arrived just on time. “The timing is good.”
At that time, a man who had received Kang Bok-hwa’s permission came inside after knocking.
He probably came to deliver news about the bereaved family, but somehow he looked familiar.
The man also looked shocked when he saw Kang Hu. Aside from the fact that it is spherical, I didn’t know I could see it from here.
However, because he was at his seat, he quickly looked away and reported to Kang Bok-hwa.
“The bereaved family members have just arrived. Since you do not want to be exposed to the outside, we are moving inside using the 8th basement floor route.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Seontae.”
“I think he’ll be there in three minutes. then.”
The man left immediately.
He could have pretended to know Kang-hu in the middle, but he seemed to restrain himself, perhaps because he knew the importance of the position.
‘It was Baek Seon-tae. Now I remember.’
Baek Seon-tae, who had previously followed him and acted as a guard in the dungeon when he visited Yeosu warlord Jagang.
It seems he was working under Kang Bok-hwa.
I wasn’t particularly interested in the news and had no way to find out, so I forgot about it. We met again by chance like this.
After that, the process progressed quickly.
Kang Bok-hwa took the time to personally explain to the bereaved family what kind of experience Kang-hu had as a hunter.
The bereaved families told us what the consequences were for the hunters who previously contacted the talisman ‘Infernus’.
Everyone is crazy. This is a natural result since the ‘owner’ to whom the talisman belongs has not been found.
And again, he pointed out what form this amulet was.
Once a hunter passes the amulet’s test, the amulet will recognize the hunter as its owner.
It is said that the property will never be released until the owner dies.
It is said that no matter how much the previous owner of the amulet wanted to debind it, he could not do so until he died.
In the presence of Kang Bok-hwa, Kang Hu immediately deposited the money to the bereaved family and began the attribution process.
In order not to be caught up in the worries or expectations of those around him, Ganghu picked up the amulet as soon as he was ready.
There was nothing that would change if I waited, because the preparations had already been completed in advance.
Eventually, the moment you fall into the feeling of your body and mind being caught up in the energy of Infernus!
– An uninvited guest has arrived.
Kanghu could see a red glowing object in the middle of a dark background where he could not see anything.
It was a huge, living single eye, like something you would see in the flames of hell.
It was an unpleasant creature that was clearly looking for a new owner or a suitable victim.
