Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log - Chapter 55

Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 55

Episode 55:

The first level 2 gate outbreak that created the coldest winter in Korean history.

Many hunters tried to somehow defeat the boss before the dungeon break occurred, but ultimately failed.

Countless people ended their lives in Cheorwon, and countless others had to swallow their longing.

And among them was Seo-ra, who was at most about ten years old.

Seo-ra’s mother, Hyun Jae-hee, died because of that dungeon.

Everyone said in unison that his death was not in vain. Because she killed the monster that popped out there and was really lucky to get the lock, she was able to prevent an even bigger disaster.

Although she was later killed by the boss mob, everyone survived because of one sacrifice.

But did she really save everyone? Is he really the hero who saved everyone?

She, who ultimately gave her young daughter her longing, will never be able to be called a hero, at least not to her daughter.

‘Of course, I’m not complaining now.’

12 years later, Seo-ra became an adult and was no longer the child who cried for her mother every night.

Yes, that’s definitely the case, but why is my heart so heavy?

“…hey.”

Seo-ra clenched her fists. Perhaps because my heart was heavy, my fingertips were cold.

“…Raya.”

It felt strange, stiff as if dipped in ice water, so I held my hands together and rubbed my fingers. Still, I didn’t feel any warmth.

Like the last moments of a hero who died a long time ago after saving everyone.

“Seora-ya!”

Seo-ra bit her lips tightly. calm down. Don’t look pathetic and come to your senses.

【Administrator: ๐(৹˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥˚৹)๐】

“Ah.”

At that time, my senses suddenly came back to me at the emoticon that flashed before my eyes. Jarim was looking at her, wondering when she had arrived.

“are you okay?”

Seo-ra wiped her face. As expected, it seems like he hasn’t forgotten everything about the past, even if he pretends not to.

“I can do the job.”

I have to do it. It’s nothing more than the theft of keys.

Seo-ra slapped my cheek to wake me up because something terrible could happen if I were not careful.

After the interrogation was over, the two headed back to the castle tower guild headquarters. The purpose was to find out if the guild leader had hidden the key somewhere in the headquarters. If it’s not here, then you really have to prepare for the worst.

“Where is the Chasha Guild Leader?”

When I asked the accident investigation team member who was looking through the inside of the headquarters with Hoyoung Jeong, he pointed inside.

“They are being searched in the guild leader’s office. “You’re looking for a hidden safe.”

“thank you.”

As I entered the guild leader’s room with the door wide open, I saw Hoyoung Jeong tearing down the wall behind the desk. Crunch, crunch, crunch. A lump of hardened cement and something resembling a steel frame fell to the floor, half broken.

Was the wall originally supposed to break that easily?

“You are very strong.”

“I’m sure the person next to you can handle this much.”

Jeong Ho-young said grumpily as he lightly threw a heavy lump of cement behind him.

“I came at the right time. “There’s a safe here.”

Inside the broken wall was a safe that looked like a small square box.

“The basement warehouse was a waste of money. “If it’s not here, the key is not here.”

“Please open the safe.”

The guild leader who knew the password is dead. But is there any way to open a safe other than a password?

When Seo-ra saw Ja-rim, she smiled brightly and told him not to worry. Then he grabbed the safe door and ripped it open.

Crump! Crunch!

“….”

Although he had asked for it, he was very disturbed to see this solid safe door being opened so easily.

I have to be nice to Jarim from now on. If you do it wrong, that safe will be ruined.

“I can’t tell you any good news.”

Hoyoung Jeong, who was searching through the safe, made a sad face. There were only gold bars, jewels, and a few documents, but the most important key was nowhere to be seen.

That’s right.

“As expected, the guild leader must have kept it in his inventory.”

The Awakened Inventory is the best secret warehouse of the modern era. Once you put it in there, there is no way to steal it.

But until the owner dies.

When the awakened person dies, all items contained in the inventory are spilled out.

“It looks like we found the key. “Here is the situation where it was being sold at auction.”

Seo-ra received the documents handed to her by Jeong Ho-young and examined them.

Auctions are different from system-run item stores. A dark place for secretly trading goods that are dangerous to sell in stores that can be tracked.

This document contained the circumstances of attempting to buy and sell keys at the auction.

“As expected, money was the goal. WDO and the association give a reward to anyone who finds a lock or key, but there are many people who want to buy it at auction for more money than that.”

Seo-ra tapped the document and sighed. Trading money and people’s lives. How stupid is this?

“The person who killed the Castle Tower guild may have been someone I contacted at the auction. “He probably already knew that information, so he killed the person right away without searching the safe or warehouse.”

“How about hunting?”

“I’m checking your alibi.”

Although nothing was certain, Seo-ra believed that he was innocent. Baek Geon-tae’s face was clearly sincere when he shouted that the key had been stolen.

‘Furthermore, just looking at the traces left here….’

The thick blood stains spread widely and the damaged bodies taken to the morgue contained the other person’s emotions.

It’s fury like a volcano.

Isn’t this just someone you contacted at the auction? I couldn’t figure out why he did such a cruel thing, as if he was holding a grudge.

“We need to start preparing first.”

First, you should contact the World Dungeon Management Organization and ask them to strengthen the security of the locked dungeon.

As far as Seora knows, there are a total of five locked dungeons around the world. Except for those in the country, they are all level 1, impossible to attack, and require the power of a lock. If this fact becomes known, the whole world will enter a state of emergency.

Seo-ra took a deep breath and left the guild leader’s room alone. I had something to check for a moment.

“The saved name is ‘Absolute Damage,’ but for some reason my side often contacts me.”

Kang Se-jun, a returnee who still doesn’t say anything even though this happened. Seo-ra called him.

—I’m sorry, but I didn’t intentionally not tell you. I didn’t know either.

However, Seo-ra could not believe his ears when he heard the answer.

“No again? Hey there. How many lives have you really lived? “Why are there so many things we don’t know, including the appearance of Seong Ja-rim?”

—Regressors don’t know everything. The reality is that even the smallest thing can change the situation.

“Ugh, so this is something that has never happened before? So what about the conflict between hunting and the castle tower?”

—Um… I don’t know because I don’t remember even the little things.

Unbelievable. You seem like a useless regressor.

—You don’t think it’s useless now, do you?

“Don’t be quick to act only in times like this. So what about the massacre at the castle tower? “You’ll remember this much, right?”

—…I remember that clearly. That also never happened.

Seo-ra frowned at Kang Se-jun’s assertion. This may be more troublesome than you think.

—The lock dungeon was once opened. But it wasn’t Korea and the keys weren’t stolen. America opened the dungeon with a key he found by chance.

“You mean Cheorwon has never been opened?”

—Oh, that’s for sure.

“Could you come to the castle tower guild headquarters and investigate the traces of the key thief? “I heard you can use magic of all attributes.”

—Send me the address. Go right away.

After sending the address of the castle tower headquarters, I called Do Jun-young and reported the situation. It would be fortunate if Kang Se-jun could find traces, but if not, it was usually not a problem.

Seo-ra massaged her heavy shoulders for no reason. The black ominousness of that bastard was still clinging to my back, not letting go.

* * *

That day was a gray and wet day for the whole world.

Seora sat alone in the living room with the large window and looked up at the sky blankly. I was in a very bad mood because the pouring rain felt like I was crying.

I’m the one who wants to cry, but why does the sky cry? The evil sky that took my mother away.

Today was my mom and dad’s funeral.

It is said that the mother died while fighting some monster. It is said that the father ran away after receiving the mother’s last request, but eventually died from severe wounds.

It was all picked up from people who liked to chirp. Because Aunt Hannah or my brother won’t tell me this.

Seo-ra couldn’t tell if he was glad to hear such a thing or if it was better not to know.

Clap, clap, clap. At that time, someone opened the locked door and came in, but Seo-ra sat quietly in front of the cold window without even turning her head.

The next thing I did was to be held in the big, generous, warm, and at the same time lonely arms that had lost my most beloved friend.

“Seo-ra.”

My shoulders got wet.

“Seora is my niece.”

Seo-ra did not attend her parents’ funeral, which was held on a large scale in Seoul. Hannah meant that she did not want the young siblings, who were left behind after losing their parents who sacrificed for everyone, to listen to people’s whispers.

Although her older brother Jae-heon rejected her invitation and attended, Seo-ra decided to stay quietly at home.

“You don’t stand out.”

Because I didn’t like the eyes watching my every move, just like my parents did.

“Your aunt will protect you. “I will protect you so that you can live quietly without being noticed by everyone.”

Those who chirped like birds did that.

Both parents were awakened and the child’s mother was even S-rank, so the children may grow up like that too. Those kids will sacrifice for everyone just like their parents.

People tried to shackle me arbitrarily.

Seo-ra didn’t like that.

“Seora, I promise that I won’t let you be crushed by that weight.”

I don’t like being strong, and I don’t like living a life where I have to protect someone.

I just like an ordinary life where I don’t have to worry about protecting others.

Just like my family did before this world fell apart.

“Mom and Dad are idiots.”

However, as a young woman, that was all she could say.

Like the gray sky, Seora’s sleeves soon became damp.
