Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 54

Episode 54:

The Castle Tower Guild was punished for leaving behind a dungeon raid and getting into a private fight that almost caused great danger. In addition, I heard that the situation these days is very bad as the fact that he tried to secretly steal the item became known and he was shunned by the surrounding guilds.

But I never thought that we would be slaughtered. That too at the guild headquarters in the middle of the city.

“It’s absolutely terrible.”

Seo-ra, who was dispatched to the scene, frowned.

Even for her, who was confident that she would not be surprised by most things as she was a hunter fighting monsters, the sight here was very scary.

Horrible corpses strewn everywhere. The bloody smell was so strong that I covered my nose and mouth with a handkerchief. Still, the nausea did not subside.

“One guild leader, eight guild members, and three non-awakened office workers. A total of twelve bodies were identified. “Everyone in the guild died, without exception.”

It was none other than Jeong Ho-young, the assistant manager, who appeared with members of the association’s dungeon accident investigation team who were investigating the scene.

They have the best tracking and search skills and have a close relationship with the association, so they often ask for cooperation when such incidents occur. It was the same today.

“It must have been difficult because the body was not in good condition. Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s nothing difficult. “You just have to find the head to find out if it’s dead.”

“Is everyone here?”

“okay. There is no trace of it being moved after death. They all died here. “By one person.”

One person. No matter how small the guild is, there is no way it can be easily exterminated as the guild leader is an A-level hunter. The most horrifying thing was that no one around even knew about the twelve people who died.

“The prime suspect is Hunt, who has a grudge against Seongtap, but his skills are not this good.”

Baek Geon-tae, head of the hunting guild.

He was a pretty good B-level hunter, but he was just that. I don’t have the skills to kill twelve people at once while avoiding people’s eyes. Seo-ra was sure of that after meeting him in person.

“But the motivation is sufficient.”

“That item that had problems with the castle tower?”

“yes. From what I heard, it is a top-class gate seat that can close level 3 dungeons. “It’s an item worth billions, so an angry hunt could have been a literal hunt.”

If the gate seats had been sold and distributed equally, there would have been a huge profit, but unfortunately, they were confiscated by the association. It was a natural measure since the dungeon break almost occurred because of that item.

“If you hire a Class A assassin, annihilation is not impossible.”

“So is that possible?”

Seo-ra smiled meaningfully while looking at Jeong Ho-young.

If the guardian spirit monopolized the most healers, the deputy led by Jeong Ho-young was a den of assassins. The only difference is that most of them volunteered to work under the best assassins in the country.

Because he was such an outstanding person, Jeong Ho-young sometimes received secret missions from Song Hanna. Since he was a subordinate who was closer to the shadow of Song Hanna, the head of the association, rather than an independent guild, all information that Jeong Ho-young knew flowed to Song Hanna.

but.

“Unfortunately, there is nothing I can tell you this time. “I don’t even accept requests like this in the first place.”

“As expected. Ah, I just received news that the association has arrested all members of the hunting guild as suspects. I’ll just go back and let you know if you find anything new. Seong Ja-rim, leave now… Mr. Ja-rim?”

Seo-ra, who was looking for Ja-rim who came with her, opened her eyes round. Jarim’s face turned blue as he looked at the clear traces of massacre.

“Seong Ja-rim.”

“Oh uh oh. “Are you done with your business?”

“Okay, let’s go. “There is nothing more to do here.”

The two people left the building together and got into the car parked outside. As Jarim sighed, Seora asked curiously.

“what’s the matter? Did you see anything there? “Your complexion is so bad. Are you remembering what happened during Bhaskar?”

“No, that’s not it… I should just say I feel a little strange. “The traces left there seemed familiar.”

“what? Familiar? Then, could it be that Baskar was the one who killed the guild members…?”

“uh? No no. That won’t happen. “That’s impossible in the first place.”

I was relieved to stand in firm denial.

However, even excluding that, they said they still did not know the exact reason, so they decided to first interrogate the hunting guild that was arrested.

After arriving at the association, Seo-ra went straight to the interrogation room where the hunting guild leader was located.

Baek Geon-tae, whom I met again after a few weeks, was quite distressed. I’ve been having nightmares ever since I was mentally eroded by the White Ghost during the last crack dungeon incident.

“Are you still having nightmares?”

“It’s a little better now. Thank goodness. “The dream of someone constantly shooting me in the head is really scary.”

“….”

It wasn’t a nightmare caused by a ghost.

Seo-ra, who was the one who freed the monster from the monster by shooting him in the head, tried to pretend not to hear what he said.

no way. I tried to save him, but he’s having nightmares.

“But it looks like I’m going to have another nightmare starting today. “The castle tower was annihilated…?”

He asked with a pale face if he had heard anything while he was under arrest.

“I’m on my way after seeing the scene. “All guild members, including non-awakened clerks, have died.”

“I heard there was a strong smell of blood coming from somewhere.”

Baek Geon-tae wiped his face with both hands. Seo-ra looked carefully at the trembling hands and blood-stained face.

“I’m the prime suspect, right? “There was a problem with the castle tower most recently.”

“And there is a motive for that.”

“Damn it, I really didn’t! Are you crazy enough to do something like that? “It’s obvious that I’ll be a suspect!”

“Appeals don’t work. Write down where and what you did from 12 noon yesterday to 10 am this morning. “If you don’t have a good alibi, you will be indicted like this.”

Baek Geon-tae cursed and wheezed, but obediently grabbed a pencil and wrote an alibi on the paper Seo-ra gave him.

But he would know. I can’t fully claim his innocence with something like this. Because of that, his hands were still shaking terribly.

“You fucking piece of shit. I told you not to be so greedy and report it properly to the association. Because of that bastard…”

Seo-ra sighed as he saw her spitting curses and shedding tears.

“Then why did you fight? Of course, the top-class gate seats don’t cost a penny or two, so it’s worth coveting them, but it’s not worth risking your life on.”

I understand that you are angry because the castle tower tried to steal it first, but there is a certain amount of things.

But Baek Geon-tae, who was sniffling and writing down an alibi, opened his eyes round.

“yes? What does that mean? “Gate seats?”

“This is an item that the castle tower tried to steal as soon as it was found in the dungeon. As I said last time, the association has already confiscated it.”

The next moment, Seo-ra felt the ominous feeling that had been lingering around her feet since morning growing in size.

Baek Geon-tae’s eyes were shaking greatly.

“What… what are you talking about? Gate seats. Who said that? “Did that guy from the castle tower do that?”

As Seo-ra looked confused, Baek Geon-tae’s face became even more pale than before. The face, with all its blood gone, looked like a ghost. A terrible voice came out from my trembling lips.

“Crazy, crazy, crazy!” No matter how greedy you are! How could the worst happen…!”

“Guild leader Baek Geon-tae? calm down! Guild leader!”

Baek Geon-tae grabbed Seo-ra’s arm. The veiny hand was so desperate that Seo-ra couldn’t shake it off. Baek Geon-tae shouted with a face filled with fear.

“We need to find the person who killed those castle towers quickly! Otherwise, big trouble will happen! I wondered why on earth they killed that guy! “Now I understand!”

“What on earth are you talking about! Speak clearly!”

“What we found in the dungeon wasn’t just a gate stone. It’s a special item. It’s a special item! It was the gate key!”

Seo-ra’s face also turned pale at Baek Geon-tae’s desperate cries.

I completely understood why an ominous feeling had been lingering under my feet and behind my back since this morning.

There are countless items in the world. There are many different ways to obtain things, from things you can get by killing monsters to by-products inside the dungeon.

However, it is extremely rare for the word ‘special’ to be added in front of it. There is no set way to obtain it, and the probability of it appearing is extremely slim.

The item ‘lock’ was one of those special items.

Its ability is to completely lock one of the gates except for the labyrinth dungeon so that monsters cannot escape.

Since it is not limited by the level of the dungeon, the lock is also called a special and essential item. Even level 1 dungeons that even L-level hunters cannot block can be blocked if you use a lock.

So, is a locked gate permanently unopenable?

no.

It is possible to open it again if you have the ‘key’, another special item that is treated as a set with the lock.

‘And keys are treated more specially than locks.’

If a lock can close any gate, a key can open any lock. In other words, it was no exaggeration to say that all the locked gates were dangerous now that its whereabouts were unknown.

Moreover, the problem was that there was one thing that was locked in the country as well.

It was the first level 2 dungeon in Korea and the worst and worst dungeon in the country that drove countless awakened people to death.

The very place where Seo-ra’s mother died after failing to conquer it. It was the Cheorwon dungeon.
