Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 48
# 48
048
There were three people following me in total.
The two guys left this world.
There’s only one guy left.
“….”
Daesung
stepped on the fragments of the broken railing and narrowed his eyes.
[The spell’s eye is activated.]
[Marks targets hostile to the caster within a radius of 1 km.]
A brand with a spider symbol that blinks above the opponent’s head.
This was the reason why Daesung did not attack without question and answer.
‘You’re hesitating.’
This means that the other person is conflicted about whether to attack him or not.
That means you are afraid.
It is too early to judge whether it is an enemy or not.
“I am…”
The other person swallowed dry saliva and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“My name is Go Gwang-hyeon, a hunter belonging to the KHA’s Surveillance Department.”
With the spider symbol blinking like a broken light.
Go Gwang-hyeon introduced himself, breaking into a cold sweat.
“Hunter from KHA?”
As soon as he heard those words, Daesung cleared away the murderous blood covering his entire body.
If the other person is a member of the association, it is worth listening to them first.
“That one… is definitely Han Daeseong, right? “I recently obtained my license with excellent grades…”
Daesung answered the question in the affirmative with a wordless silence.
Regardless of whether the other person belongs to an association or not, it would be wise for you to take control of the conversation.
Considering that he had the status of a hunter, he decided to speak respectfully.
“What business does a hunter belonging to the association have to me?”
“It’s not that I have any business to do with you…”
A cracked voice escaped Go Gwang-hyeon’s throat.
At that point, Go Gwang-hyeon swallowed his saliva once and cleared his throat.
The man in front of me was a bomb that could explode at any moment, so I had to do it.
“I am carrying out the Association’s orders to capture the two people they just killed.”
“So, what you’re saying is that you didn’t chase me, but you followed these guys who were chasing me.”
“yes.”
Go Gwang-hyeon nodded and looked back.
The messy-haired man was already wrong.
Now that my head has exploded, I have no idea how to check my identity.
but.
Pooh-pooh-
The pony-haired woman was almost half-asleep, but was barely able to breathe.
Even now, if we put on a respirator, there might be some hope of reviving the person.
“These guys are the remnants of the < Red Demon >, and there was an order from the president of the association to capture them alive.”
“So what is the conclusion?”
“I also have to carry out official duties, so I have to take that woman who is still alive…”
Go Gwang-hyeon thought about what he had just said and watched Daesung’s thoughts.
This is because there was a possibility that it could have been heard as an intention to give up the prey you just tried to kill.
Considering the temperament of that white head, it was unclear whether he would obediently follow what he said.
It was a time when Go Gwang-hyeon was at a loss as to what to do if the answer was no.
‘Thank goodness.’
Just as Go Gwang-hyeon was carefully looking at Daesung, Daesung was also quietly looking over Go Gwang-hyeon’s head.
There.
‘He knows how to control his emotions.’
The spider symbol didn’t come to mind.
Daesung saw that and felt rather fortunate.
Because he didn’t want to threaten the same hunter and turn him into an enemy.
Anyway, those who belong to the association are the ones who protected Earth, the original world, while they were in hell.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone in the association is trustworthy, but…
‘It means they’re not people you should be hostile to without giving any room for negotiation.’
Daesung, who had already confirmed that Go Gwang-hyeon had no hostility, relaxed his shoulders.
Realizing that the atmosphere had changed, Go Gwang-hyun focused on Daesung’s lips.
At this time, what came out of Daesung’s mouth
was “Take it.”
It was an unexpected answer.
Go Gwang-hyeon, who had not expected to receive a positive answer, asked with wide eyes.
“Is that okay?”
“Why are you looking at me?”
“Oh, no…”
If Go Gwang-hyeon had been alone, he would have felt like sweeping his heart out and sighing in relief until the floor sank.
Daesung thought as he saw Go Gwang-hyeon’s stiff expression soften.
‘It only takes one person to steal memories through soul confinement.’
I wouldn’t have known it if Go Gwang-hyeon had announced that he would collect the dead man’s body.
Since he said he would only take women, it didn’t matter if he just gave them away.
This is a situation where there is no need for unnecessary stubbornness.
The association official, Go Gwang-hyeon, also took care of what was necessary, so it was a win-win situation without conflict.
Since I had my family on my back, I didn’t want to get caught up in tiring work.
“Thank you for your cooperation. Oh, and I confirmed that those guys took out a weapon and threatened me first, so don’t worry too much about that part.”
“I did it knowingly.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Go Gwang-hyeon, who still looked dazed, put his arm around the woman behind him.
“then.”
Blame –
and without even looking back, I fell down the building and retreated.
“….”
The seeing eyes disappeared.
It’s annoying, but it’s time to do what needs to be done.
Daesung extended his right middle finger forward and activated Soul Count Reduction.
“Collection.”
Then, the body of the disheveled man who had fallen in the alley below was absorbed and crumbled like dust.
Go Gwang-hyeon said that these were the remnants of < Hongma >.
That means it’s clear that the person behind it is Lee Seok-woo, the leader of that clan.
Still, it was necessary to find out why he had assigned a pursuer to him.
“Summon command soldier.”
Daesung made eye contact with the messy-haired man after resurrecting him as a spirit.
Pajik –
A blue flame burned brightly between our gazes, and the memories of our souls were shared.
-I’m lurking in the black market. Stay in hiding, and if a man similar to the one this guy mentioned comes to the black market, report it to me immediately. –
‘It was Lee Seok-woo, as expected.’
I already knew who this guy was for a long time, but I didn’t bother to reach out first.
Until then, it was because I judged that Lee Seok-woo was not the kind of person who would show his teeth directly.
‘It was a wrong decision.’
I couldn’t have guessed that he was such a badass that he even sent his subordinates directly.
It has been concluded.
If you leave behind something, it will come back like a boomerang someday.
‘The guy who cheated on the exam back then is said to belong to the < Red Demon > clan, and he keeps getting into trouble with me.’
It needs to be properly destroyed.
The Association is probably also enraged by the < Red Demon >, so there shouldn’t be a big problem even if they attack them with somewhat drastic measures.
Daeseong decided to take down < Hongma > within today or tomorrow.
However, that decision had to be put aside due to unavoidable reasons.
[< Red Ma > Clan members all found dead!]
[< Red Ma > leader Lee Seok-woo’s cold body was found at the scene….]
[The cause of the incident has not yet been found….]
A large clan was formed overnight The world was in an uproar over the unprecedented situation in which an entire group was annihilated.
***
The annihilation of < Red Demon >, which no one expected, brought a great shock to KHA.
But the shocking facts did not end there.
With the disappearance of < Hongma >, KHA was able to secure the secrets that they had worked so hard to hide.
“…If those guys were alive until now, I would never have tolerated them on the honor of the president of the association.”
Association President’s Office.
Park Jeong-ho frowned as he looked back and forth at the index finger-sized ampoule on the table and the data photos scattered around.
In the data photo, large glass tubes were lined up in a row inside a pure white laboratory.
Inside a glass tube filled with a transparent solution.
“How dare a single clan own monsters privately without getting approval from the association?”
More than a dozen corpses of monsters, ranging from level 3 to level 5, were stored.
The law states that the monster’s body must be handed over to the exchange after formal approval from the association.
In other words, what is shown in the data photo is an illegal activity that would only occur in a black market.
But what’s even more shocking is.
“Are you making drugs out of those corpse chunks again?”
It is said that something close to taboo was committed using the monster’s blood and DNA.
Park Jeong-ho glared at the taboo product on the table.
Fusion ampoule.
The awakened person administered can forcibly manifest the characteristics and power of the monster contained in the ampoule.
“It was because of this ampoule that the monster genes were detected in Jeong Jin-cheol’s autopsy results.”
Jin Ki-hong, standing across from Park Jeong-ho, frowned as if he was fed up.
As a person who had secured the site and ampoules in the recent data photos, these were facts that I could not help but feel disgusted by.
Park Jeong-ho nodded and said.
“The fusion of monsters and humans. “The theoretical possibility exists, but… no matter how large it is, is it possible for a clan that is not a specialized research institute to independently develop such technology?”
“There were no traces or clues at the scene other than the monster’s corpse and the ampoule.”
“There was no evidence that these guys developed the ampoules themselves.”
The site was equipped with facilities to simply implant ampoules into test subjects.
In other words, there was no guarantee that < Hongma > developed the ampoule itself.
The moment the thought expanded to that point, a new possibility appeared in Park Jeong-ho’s mind.
‘The mastermind who provided technological support to these guys exists somewhere.’
No matter how much one thought about it, it seemed unlikely that a clan that was nothing more than a ‘gathering of hunters’ would create something that even renowned scholars working on the front lines could not develop.
‘I can’t be sure that those behind it only reached out to < Red Demon >.’
There was a possibility that those who received these ampoules were operating secretly in areas beyond the reach of KHA.
Mountain after mountain.
Park Jeong-ho felt his head pounding and moved on to the next topic.
“Was there really no one at the scene other than Director Hwang Jun-young?”
“yes. This is certain, as all of the personnel involved in the operation searched the building. “All places that could be seen as entrances were blocked off.”
“There are security cameras inside the building, so I’m sure they caught something there, right?”
“That’s…”
When Jin Ki-hong trailed off as if he was embarrassed, one of the employees waiting next to him read the mood and quickly grabbed his laptop.
A video that had stopped playing appeared on my laptop.
These were data videos from security cameras installed at the headquarters of < Red Ma >.
The timing is right before Hwang Jun-young explodes the incident.
Tick –
When the employee pressed the play button, time passed in the video.
“….”
Park Jeong-ho placed his finger on his chin and focused on the divided images.
Dozens of awakened people belonging to the < Red Demon > were busily running to the first floor of the building.
‘It was a military effort to stop Director Hwang Jun-young from breaking in from the outside.’
I heard from my own mouth that the corpses outside were the work of Hwang Jun-young.
What is important is the massacre that occurred in the penthouse inside the building.
Park Jeong-ho moved his gaze to the camera video toward the penthouse.
There, about 20 awakened people were standing guard in a circle, centered on Lee Seok-woo, who was embarrassed by Hwang Jun-young’s rampage.
Each of them was holding not only Auror weapons such as swords and spears, but also machine guns as if they were planning to create a beehive if necessary.
The calm before the storm in the penthouse can be felt even beyond the video.
Right then.
“hmm…?”
One of the troops waiting at the nearest entrance suddenly floated into the air.
Seeing him shaking his head and sweating, it seemed like he hadn’t activated any auror technique himself.
The moment when those around him and Lee Seok-woo were taken aback by the sudden sight and didn’t know what to do.
-!
The machine gun of the man floating in the air opened fire.
Toward the same side.
“What is this…”
In the video without any sound, silent gunfire was ringing out like lightning, causing casualties.
-! -!
Those caught up in the indiscriminate shooting fell down with blood spattered.
Lee Seok-woo, who was in the back, flew behind the desk for cover and panicked, while the security personnel panicked and tried to control the situation.
“what…!”
However, the man who was shooting indiscriminately stopped shooting for a moment and
-!-! -!
Suddenly, the joints of my limbs began to bend in strange directions.
The right forearm was bent into an L shape that could never be bent, and the left leg was folded into an L shape outside the joint.
A bizarre sight.
The body of the man who was in the air fell to the floor in a terrible shape.
Everyone who saw the scene just now was speechless.
“….”
Park Jeong-ho, who was watching the video, could not even express his astonishment and could only hold his breath and watch what happened next.
Everyone in the video.
This is because each person’s limbs were twisted and bent in a deformed manner, just like the man had just suffered.
“…Oh God.”
Some people had their joints bent and bones protruding through the skin of their limbs, while others had their necks that were otherwise fine suddenly rotated 180 degrees.
Lee Seok-woo was crying in front of the nightmare-like tragedy.
It was as if an invisible reaper was wielding a scythe.
Something that couldn’t even be seen with the eyes that cameras couldn’t capture was killing them.
“What does this all mean…”
The video played almost to the end.
Lee Seok-woo, who was sitting on the floor, was shouting something.
At first, I thought she was just screaming because she was out of her mind from extreme fear.
however.
“…huh?”
In the video, Lee Seok-woo is on his knees, putting his hands together and praying into the sky.
As if asking for help.
“This is…”
An action as if specifying a certain object.
However, no matter how much I washed my eyes and searched, there were only dead bodies and Lee Seok-woo in the video.
10 seconds before the video ends.
-!
As reported, Lee Seok-woo’s head was completely bent up to his spine.
The remaining 10 seconds of the video left behind an instant of hell.
Since Lee Seok-woo died, there was no need to pay attention to those 10 seconds.
“….”
Park Jeong-ho could only remain frozen with a mesmerized look on his face until the video ended.
Jin Ki-hong, who had already checked the video before Park Jeong-ho, fully understood his feelings and emotions.
“…I should have warned you in advance before you saw it, I’m sorry.”
