Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 181

Episode 181

* * *

The manager opened his eyes.

Instead of the image of Seora sleeping, the familiar scenery he had always seen filled his field of vision.

Gorgeous mansions filled with jewels and all kinds of works of art whose value cannot be converted into money.

However, the man’s eyes when he saw it were extremely sad. When I was with Seo-ra in the fox’s body, it sparkled occasionally, but now even that has disappeared.

Because among these countless things, there is not a single one of value to him.

〖“Still, I’m glad Seora wants it.”〗

The manager grabbed a handful of the jewels that covered the desk. To him, it was no different from a rolling stone, but his contractor wanted this. In that case, everything here from now on belongs to Seo-ra.

So now there is only one thing for him to do. All I can do is remain silent and guard this place until she takes it all away.

It was only then that his eyes softened as he remembered Seo-ra, who never concealed her greed for jewels every time she came to this place through her dreams.

Boom boom!

However, the sparkle disappeared again when a loud sound was heard. A sound as if someone was violently knocking on the door was shaking the mansion, and indeed the entire space.

〖“….”〗

The manager got up from his seat and approached the window. A garden matching the mansion was spread out in front. This place, which is beautiful all year round even though it is not maintained, did not give him any inspiration.

The bright blue sky was also dazzling, but it was just unnerving. Even though there was no sun in the sky, it was always bright here.

After looking around the garden as usual, the manager immediately turned his head to the distant sky.

The space where there should be nothing was repeatedly breaking and coming together in time with the sound of the thump. It seemed like the person on the outside was trying hard to bring out the person on the inside.

Have you failed for a long time and still not been able to let go of your regrets? I don’t know anything else, but even his strength can’t destroy this space.

〖“We’ve been fighting for a long time.”〗

The person outside was his enemy with whom he had been fighting for hundreds of years.

If he was truly amazing, he was a great person. By the time he first became an enemy, the manager had also been very angry with him.

However, as time passed and a worn rock turned into stone, his anger also lost meaning and dispersed.

Hundreds of years were such a long time.

Enough to make you lose sadness, joy, and even anger. Even after losing everything, he had to live for so many years that emotions were unfamiliar to him.

So it took a very long time for him to become angry again at the enemy who caused Seora’s death. If I had regained the anger I lost more quickly, would things have been any different now? I do not know.

However, unlike him, the enemy did not lose his anger even though he lived for hundreds of years. Even if I threw away all other emotions, I seemed to be holding on to my anger until the end, and it burned even more fiercely, eventually turning into a volcano. So much so that they removed Seo-ra just because the manager was interested.

I understand his anger. Because you made a mistake and caused his anger.

But I couldn’t understand his revenge. Because it was the enemy who sinned first, and because of that, this long fight began.

Now he has lost his sense and is just a monster who seeks revenge.

And now all the terrible memories of that monster have been scattered like bubbles, and it has created a new adversary instead of itself, having lost even its desire for revenge.

Seo-ra, who was forced to die by the bastard, swore revenge. Since she wanted the enemy dead, the manager also rekindled the anger he had forgotten.

Now is the time to resolve all the old grudges from the fight that has dragged on for so many years.

In fact, he wanted to get rid of her himself to prevent her from getting hurt, but since Seo-ra said she wanted to do it, he only intended to help her.

〖“…The excuse is.”〗

That’s right. It’s an excuse. I told Seo-ra that I can’t kill her, but it’s actually possible. But you just have to pay a price.

Killing him as an administrator was a huge problem, incomparable to destroying the core of the maze dungeon.

He must be prepared to pay something bigger than simply transferring his most terrible memories to his contractor, Seo-ra.

I was happy with the moments I spent with Seo-ra, so I had ignored that choice until now.

If Seo-ra found out about what happened before his return and ended up hating him, then she would not hesitate any longer, but Seo-ra held his hand. He said he didn’t hate me.

How could a contractor like that commit suicide along with the enemy? How can I leave when I have tasted such a sweet sensation?

So I have to live. I must live until Seora becomes stronger and kills the enemy with my own hands.

It is definitely possible, as her contract with the manager allows her to grow infinitely.

〖“You’re making me weak.”〗

The manager turned his gaze to the desk. All of the countless floating system screens disappeared and Seo-ra’s face appeared.

The life he could not protect and his only contract. And my most precious person.

‘Look. In the end, you wanted the world to continue.’

From somewhere, Hyun Jae-hee’s smiling voice was heard. The manager also had no choice but to laugh in the end.

It was not until 13 years after her death that the manager smiled at Hyun Jae-hee for the first time.

* * *

Seo-ra didn’t really do anything and rested well at home. For over a week, I didn’t even leave the house, let alone go to work.

A person who was moving around conspicuously suddenly became quiet, so she was often reported on the news or in the community looking for her. From people asking if his injuries were serious, to people saying he may have quietly become a naturalized citizen in some overseas country.

There were all kinds of speculations and rumors, but Seo-ra never showed up.

She was having such a happy vacation that she didn’t even have to worry about such things.

When we ran out of food, Do Jun-young delivered high-quality ingredients through quick delivery, and Song Hanna and Kang Se-jun often came and cooked for us, so there was no reason to go out.

Moreover, there is Seong Ja-rim and the manager next to him, with whom he is never bored, so how could he lack anything? Seo-ra took a comfortable rest while receiving calls from Jae-heon, who came twice a day to check on her well-being.

One night, about ten days had passed since she completely stopped going outside.

Seong Ja-rim received a call from Kang Se-jun.

“Uh huh.”

—Yoon Seo-ra?

“Are you sleeping. “It’s too far from my room, so I won’t be able to hear it.”

Jarim, who was playing in front of the window overlooking the Han River, glanced at his closed door. Seora’s penthouse was so large that it was difficult for them, no matter how good their ears were, to eavesdrop on such a quiet phone call.

—Is anything going on?

“doesn’t exist.”

Kang Se-jun and Seong Ja-rim exchanged phone numbers to share Seo-ra’s work, but they never contacted each other for anything else.

Especially when Seo-ra’s face is becoming as smooth as a boiled egg as the days go by due to her satisfying rest.

Then there is only one reason he called.

“Did you call me about the labyrinth?”

-okay. If all goes as planned, news of the flowering of the 9th floor of the Labyrinth will be announced tomorrow.

Seong Ja-rim’s eyes, which were reflecting the night scene, sank deeply.

—Once Gae-hwa becomes known, I have to attend the WDO meeting, so I think I should meet Seo-ra Yoon and talk to her before that.

“Come tomorrow afternoon. “I’ll tell Seo-ra.”

-okay.

“The 9th and 10th floors. “It reminds me of the old days.”

The 9th and 10th floors of the labyrinth are connected to each other. Such terrible things happen that even Baskar, who had barely survived the 9th floor, collapsed without being able to survive the 10th floor.

Well, to be exact, the destruction was accelerated when Baskar’s manager tried to kill her with monsters from the 9th and 10th floors but failed.

Anyway, if the monster on the 10th floor had not been so desperate, Seong Ja-rim would not have lost his mind.

—Are you okay?

“what. “I thought you were only worried about Seo-ra, but are you worried about me too?”

When Seong Ja-rim asked in surprise, Kang Se-jun clicked his tongue.

—It’s true that I’m most worried about Yoon Seo-ra, but I’m also worried about you. I’m the only person in this world who is similar to me, so shouldn’t I be worried?

A returner who repeats time and a returner who defies time.

They walked in completely different directions, but at the same time, with their backs to each other, they were closer than anyone else. Only the returnee and the returnee can fully understand each other’s time.

“thank you. Well, my feelings are complicated, but it’s okay. Because things like what I saw in Baskar won’t come across anyway. “I have something to protect now, so I’ll hold on tight.”

-okay.

“Are you going to tell me everything when you come tomorrow? It is said that someone previously informed him of the incident on the 9th floor of the Labyrinth and he took advantage of it. Are you going to tell me who that person is?”

—You two better know, just in case.

He meant that he had no intention of speaking at the WDO. Who on earth is this?

“I understand first of all. “I’ll tell Seo-ra in the morning and see you tomorrow.”

After hanging up the phone, Seong Ja-rim sighed and ruffled his hair. Seo-ra, who is under the administrator’s protection, will be in no danger… but the whole world will fall into chaos.

I heard that Kang Se-jun has never properly saved the Earth in his five lives. What will it be like this time?

Can destruction be avoided? Can we endure all these terrible events and finally bring peace to the world?

Because Seong Ja-rim had lost hope and lived only in despair, he could not be certain of anything.

Regardless of Seong Ja-rim’s worries, the night passed and morning finally came.

It was at that time that cold news was delivered to those who had just started a new day in a good mood.

【An earthquake occurred on an unknown island in the Pacific Ocean.】

【An old door begins to open on an unknown island in the Pacific Ocean.】

【Notice to awakened people around the world. The door on the 9th floor of the labyrinth dungeon is preparing to bloom.】

【Remaining time: 30 days】

At this moment, not only Korea but the entire world stopped. Those who had just woken up in the morning, those who had just fallen asleep, and those who had just woken up could not believe what they saw.

What follows is something I have never seen before.

[The 9th floor of the labyrinth is connected to the 10th floor. If you fail to conquer that floor, the destruction of the planet will accelerate.】

This message, known to the awakened people, quickly spread to everyone.

It’s been less than a year since we conquered the 8th floor, but the 9th floor has already opened. Not only is it linked to the 10th floor, but if the attack fails, the planet will be destroyed.

The world quickly became as chaotic as when it first faced upheaval 13 years ago. It was only natural that frightened people began to call out for the L-class people who survived even after entering the labyrinth.

“I knew there was something on the 9th and 10th floors, but I didn’t know that word of the planet’s destruction would be spread as a message.”

Seora, who was sleeping loosely, woke up to a system message containing news of flowering and sighed.

Now, not only Seong Ja-rim but also Kang Se-jun were at her house.
