Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 26

The Nangok-dong food alley where the disaster occurred was crowded with people.
Several soldiers were cleaning up the scene of the incident, and citizens across the Line of Control were watching the scene with interest.
Although it was a disaster, there were no casualties at all.
Nevertheless, the media described the gate fracture that occurred in Nangok-dong as a ‘disaster.’
Not because of anything else, but because the scene was literally terrible.
“Wow, this is really messed up.”
“Oh hey, isn’t that the goblin arm that fell over there? “I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
“What is this smell?”
“Isn’t it bloody? “The people who work at the shops around here will have to close down their businesses for the time being.”
The people gathered in front of the Line of Control were unable to take their eyes off the sight, frowning at the sight before their eyes and the thick smell of blood.
They are showing interest in the place that was swept away by the unidentified hunter who made a fuss in the world just recently.
And when I actually saw it, it was true.
“I guess he must have been completely crazy…”
someone among the onlookers muttered.
From the torn limbs of goblins scattered all over the site to the scattered brains…
It was a moment when the public perception that hunters were professional, thorough, and clean-cut completely evaporated.
“What is it, Mr. “Don’t push me.”
“Wait a minute, wait a minute. I’ll just pass by. sorry.”
At that time, a man made his way through the crowd and entered the scene.
It was Seong Chan-ho who ran straight to Nangok-dong after leaving the shelter.
When he tried to cross the cordon, a nearby soldier quickly stopped him.
“Oh, teacher. You shouldn’t come in here…”
“Ah, you’ve worked hard during the night. “I’m not anything else.”
As if Seong Chan-ho had expected it, he took out a business card from inside his coat.
< Soul Clan > Sales Team 1 Assistant Manager.
Seong Chan-ho.
An official of a large clan whose name even a passing child would have heard of at least once.
The soldier’s eyes widened when he saw the rank and name written on the business card.
Seong Chan-ho naturally continued talking to the soldier who was unable to speak for a moment.
“We received an order from our higher-ups to take a quick look at this site. So, can I just take a look? “I won’t interfere with the work you are doing.”
“Uh…”
The soldier who heard those words sent a look of help towards his senior who was nearby.
Scribble.
The signal came back telling me to just let them in.
“Yes, teacher. Then this way…”
“Ah, yes. thank you Well then, good luck.”
After giving a salute, Chan-ho Seong headed to the meat restaurant he had been at earlier.
“Sh-bee. “They think we’re just eating jjambap so we can be cleaners.”
“Hey, you pick up the pieces of bone here. “I’m so upset that I can’t eat any more.”
From the looks of it, the soldiers had a lot of trouble picking up the goblin pieces with tongs.
How embarrassed they would be if they found out that this was all done by his friend.
Seong Chan-ho’s head started pounding just thinking about it.
‘Hey you bastard. It’s a bit gentle.’
Seong Chan-ho took out a cigarette and asked.
But no matter how long ago I called, Daesung was still nowhere to be seen.
He felt nervous for some reason and was about to take out his cell phone.
“Oh! “Who is that person?”
“Hey! “You can’t come in here!”
Suddenly the surroundings became noisy.
When I stopped tapping the license plate and looked away, I saw soldiers running somewhere, scared.
At the end of the direction they were going, a man covered in blood was walking stumbling.
Only Seong Chan-ho could know the man’s identity.
‘…He’s my friend, but I’m scared even when I see him.’
The sight of red blood clinging to the large body was truly terrifying.
That’s it. It’s urgent to go quickly and resolve the situation.
Phew –
Seong Chan-ho sighed and said,
“Daesung! Hey Han Dae-seong!”
He shouted in a voice full of desperation and quickly ran towards Daesung.
He quickly passed the soldiers and was suddenly hugged by Daeseong.
A stench mixed with the smell of blood and sweat stung his nose, but he did not stop acting.
“Ah Daesung. You man! You’re safe! I can’t contact you, man! “I know how worried I was!”
“….”
Daesung was dumbfounded and quietly closed his mouth.
One of the soldiers who was looking at the scene blankly slowly approached and asked.
“Um… what is this?”
“This is my friend! “I was at the scene here and heard that they couldn’t make it to the shelter, so I rushed over…”
“Are you a survivor who was hiding around here?”
“Yes, of course. Oh, thank goodness. I watched it for ten years. Hey Daeseong. “Let’s go to the hospital first and get a checkup.”
Seong Chan-ho, who showed off his acting well, supported Daesung and tried to sneak out of the scene.
At this time, a soldier urgently tried to stop him.
Once a survivor was found at the scene, it was customary to go through an identification process.
“Hey-”
Tak.
But as soon as he could speak, the soldier’s senior placed a hand on his shoulder.
“send. just.”
“But the procedures-”
“What kind of procedures are the procedures for someone from a large clan? “I also do FM while watching people.”
“Uhm, I understand.”
While the two soldiers were having this conversation, Sung Chan-ho and Daesung were leaving the scene safely.
***
Chick –
The flint of the lighter turned and the cigarette lit up.
Phew –
Seong Chan-ho blew out a long puff of smoke out the open car window.
Okay.
Daesung sat in the passenger seat and held out his hand without saying a word.
At that very obvious and blatant signal, Seong Chan-ho smiled helplessly and handed over the cigarette and even lit it himself.
“Hu-”
The taste of the cigarette I smoked after all the hard work was truly special.
My shoulders, refreshed after eradicating the insects that were targeting me, became even lighter thanks to the power of nicotine.
Daesung puffed out his cheeks and lit a cigarette.
Seong Chan-ho was the first to open his mouth in a silence that could only hear the sound of puffing smoke.
“Hey, you… don’t even smoke the filter. “My lungs will rot.”
“are you okay.”
“What can I say to you? Yes, smoke it, smoke it. Just chew it and eat it.”
It was very quiet near the Audi parked in a remote alley.
No one hears and no one sees. Only Dae-seong and Seong Chan-ho had a secret conversation alone.
“Sleep at my house today.”
“Mom is worried.”
“Baby, it’s good if you don’t worry. Mother, take a look at what you look like now. “You’ll faint a hundred times.”
“What do I look like now?”
After hearing those words, Daesung lowered his gaze and looked around.
There was dried blood all over his limbs, and the hem of his T-shirt was covered in goblin flesh.
In addition, Seong Chan-ho also had this thought.
‘When this bastard makes a lot of money later, he will definitely collect the money for washing the car.’
Seong Chan-ho swallowed back tears as he watched the passenger seat where Daesung was sitting turn red.
“Do you have any idea what you look like now? If you understand, go to my house, wash, sleep, pack, and leave tomorrow morning. “Just tell your mother that.”
“I guess so.”
I definitely couldn’t go home looking like a demon like this.
Seong Chan-ho, who clearly received Daesung’s answer, then started the engine and drove out of the remote alley.
Rumble –
The Audi’s exhaust made a heavy sound as it ran down the empty road at night.
It was after entering the tunnel that Seong Chan-ho spoke next.
“You’re not asking?”
To be exact, it was a question. Daesung asked back, already smoking his third cigarette.
“what.”
“You know that from earlier. “The ones who jumped out while eating meat.”
I was talking about goblins.
He said something, but it was not that big of a deal, so Daesung ignored it.
Seong Chan-ho, who took the silence with a different meaning, began to tell a long story to himself.
“So that’s exactly what happened the year after you fell.”
10 years ago.
An unidentifiable gate appeared in the world and monsters poured out from another dimension.
Modern weapons do not work on that monster.
It can only be killed with a weapon made by killing the monster and refining the collected ether.
The purified ether changes its properties into a substance called aura, and personal weapons are made from it.
It is an Auror Weapon.
“But that Auror weapon is not something that can be used by dogs or cows.”
A select group of humans who can ’embrace’ the power of Aurors.
They are the ‘awakened ones’.
“And those Awakened ones have received professional training…”
“Whew-”
“…They are called hunters, and you are probably smoking a cigarette while talking about me, right?”
“I’m listening.”
It’s just boring.
The stories were old-fashioned and did not provide any stimulation.
I know that a lot has changed between the 80 years I spent in hell and the 10 years I spent on Earth.
I understand that the change means the appearance of a monster and a group of humans fighting fiercely against the monster.
but.
‘It’s boring and boring.’
Daesung had already been fighting the demons of hell for 80 years, every minute he breathed and did physical activity.
Talk about him having some kind of monster or that people were fighting that monster was no longer a new topic to talk about.
Above all.
Maybe 80 years have dulled his nerves.
“….”
Daesung looked blankly at the scenery outside the car window passing by quickly.
Next to me, Seong Chan-ho was working hard to explain.
Starting with associations that train and support hunters, various industrial systems have been rebuilt, and hunters have formed teams and formed clans.
“So Daesung.”
Daesung always responded while listening in one ear and letting it out of the other.
“uh.”
“Are you planning on becoming a hunter?”
“They say only awakened people can become hunters.”
“okay. So, do you have any intention of doing it?”
“I don’t remember awakening or anything like that.”
“No, you have clearly awakened.”
“How do you know that?”
“If you pretend, you pretend.”
Otherwise, he couldn’t have killed the goblin with his bare body without an Auror weapon.
Daesung glanced at Seong Chan-ho, who was looking at him with confidence, and threw his butt out the car window.
“I don’t really think about it.”
“Show that you are thinking and say you are not thinking.”
It is natural for hunters who fight monsters at the front to risk their lives.
In other words, Seong Chan-ho is urging his friend, who has just been discharged from the hospital, to risk his life.
Of course, I could have offered an office job in the same clan as myself.
That was my original intention, and I asked to meet at a meat restaurant today to convey that message.
But my thoughts changed.
He withdrew his judgment when he saw the current reality of Daesung defeating Hobgoblin with almost miraculous skills and emerging as a nameless and unknown dark horse in just one night.
This guy.
‘If he establishes himself as a hunter, he will achieve great success.’
I was sure.
< Soul Clan > I put my honor on the line as Assistant Manager of Sales Team 1.
I can assure you through the know-how and insight of the past years.
This guy has the potential to become a natural hunter who is guaranteed to hit the jackpot as long as he unleashes his potential.
the problem is.
‘But this guy says he doesn’t have any ideas, so why don’t you try to convince him of this.’
However, forcing him to become a hunter seemed selfish.
In any case, the decision is made by Daesung, and Seong Chan-ho was ready to respect his friend’s opinion.
at that time.
Daesung, who was taking out five cigarettes in a row, spoke as if passing by.
“If you can make a lot of money as a hunter, then you won’t know.”
Squeak-!
At that moment, the car ran at a red light.
Seong Chan-ho did not miss Daesung’s words that passed by in passing.
“Can I make a lot of money?”
Then he slowly turned his head and added.
With an expression as if he were asking something obvious.
“You call that a horse?”
