I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 126
Episode 127
– Dungeons are strategic resources directly linked to military power. There must be quite a few countries that are hiding it carefully.
“That means there may actually be 100 or more, not 60.”
– In the worst case, it might be close to 200 or 300. Sometimes, even when it was time for a dungeon to be created, there was no mention anywhere that the dungeon had exploded. It was hidden.
“Hmm, what about the possibility that it wasn’t discovered because a dungeon was created in the deep sea or a remote area where no one lives?”
– Things like that happen, too.
While we were talking quietly, a sudden thought struck me and gave me goosebumps.
When Seo Ji-han first met me, he told me that the dungeon explodes once a month. But what if it was actually being created in a much shorter cycle?
What is the possibility that we found only 1 out of 4 and mistakenly thought, ‘Oh, 1 occurs once a month’ when they occur once a week instead of a month?
So, there are dungeons under the sea that are several times the number of known ones…
– What’s wrong?
Seo Ji-han looked puzzled when I, who was bouncing around, suddenly stopped without moving.
I shook my head to shake the thoughts away.
“no.”
It will be fine.
Even if you passed through a dungeon created somewhere in the deep sea without noticing it, it wouldn’t be that dangerous for monsters to appear there.
The monsters might swim from the deep sea to the city and die.
Well, what’s the use of worrying about something that hasn’t even happened yet? For now, let’s focus on the situation in front of us.
“The important thing is what I can do now…”
– Huh?
“It’s nothing. I’m going to be late. I’ll speed up.”
I checked the clock on the wall in the hallway and hurried my steps.
When I finally arrived in front of the room where the Geogis Dungeon transmission portal was located, I saw security guards who were not there when I entered the Geogis Dungeon yesterday, standing guard in front of the room. Anything that stands out
here will attract attention. I cautiously crawled to the side of the door, thinking that there might be
something wrong with me. There was someone guarding me inside as well.
Instead of answering, I just nodded.
Anyway, if I had to go inside now, it would be impossible to use the mobile portal. What
I was waiting for was the security guards’ shift time. Most of the documents that Seo Ji-han picked up when he rescued Ban Seo-jin were meaningless, such as citizens’ complaints or requests for business improvement. However, among them, the ‘Security
Personnel
Budget’ was quite noteworthy, and was in charge of the security of the Dungeon Management Office. The total number of personnel, their working hours, salaries, etc. were written down. It
was quite interesting that the security personnel were paid a huge amount of compensation, to the extent that they were called awakened, but it was not important.
I watched the hunters’ working hours . I paid attention. The shift time that can be derived from there is the most important information.
Since one dungeon was robbed, it was natural that the security of the dungeon management office would be tightened. It is expected that
security guards will be added to many areas that used to have unmanned security
. As if to prove my guess, guards were also added to the transmission portal, which was originally an unmanned system.
This means that it has become difficult to use the transmission portal to move when I want to use it like before. However, if we
sneak in during the hunters’ shift, no one will notice us. It wouldn’t be possible.
– Thinking about it again, it was a really good idea. Such information in such a useless-looking document…
While he was waiting quietly, Seo Ji-han let out another exclamation.
Perhaps because he lived a life that had nothing to do with documents, he couldn’t find them. Even after seeing it, I thought, ‘These bastards are getting a lot of money for no reason.’
“I’m glad I learned something during my career.”
– Good job.
Seo Ji-han stretched out his hand and stroked my flea head. It
was amazing. Even if he didn’t actually touch me, he could touch me, who was in the form of a flea, without hesitation.
Then, suddenly, I felt a slight movement near the hinge of the tightly closed door. I found a gap.
It was an iron door, so there was a little empty space along the slightly curved line.
“Anyway, there’s a little gap underneath here. If I push my body in, I guess I can get in, right?”
– Really? Oh, that’s right. But it’s so narrow? Can you
really fit in? Instead of answering, I flattened my body. Seo Ji-han was startled to see me flattened like a piece of paper. “I didn’t know, but
this flea’s body is very big. “It’s flexible. I wonder what will happen if I rub it in the cracks in this state.”
– Let’s not do it because it will be a big problem if it gets stuck.
That’s true. After inflating his body again, Seo Ji-han looked at the sequence of events and muttered quietly. – When I go back, I’ll have to attach a
weather strip to the crack in the door and do the repair work. Bugs keep coming out. I thought it was because it was a tree house….
“They say you can enter anywhere as long as you have time. I was surprised this time too.”
– Yes…
Our conversation, which had been quietly taking place under the crack in the door, was suddenly interrupted by one of the security guards speaking. It was so quiet that I did
n’t think he would have heard it, but did he?
“Oh, it’s been 5 minutes since my shift time, but you’re not coming. “What?”
The man, who was yawning bitterly, checked his watch and grumbled dissatisfiedly.
Oh, they didn’t hear us. Thank goodness.
“These guys do this every shift. Aren’t they smoking outside?”
It was the man who was standing guard with him that responded.
The man who grumbled first was in his late 20s, and this man looked quite old, in his late 40s.
“I see. Anyway, what should we eat today?”
“It’s just soup. I want to eat it quickly and go home and sleep.”
“How about boiled pork soup?”
“call.”
Eating hot soup and boiled pork after working early in the morning. Just thinking about it makes my body melt.
In the past, I used to rush to a 24-hour soup restaurant to fill my hungry stomach on the way home after working overtime. They say you
have to drink alcohol to eat boiled pork. The two men who had been talking for a while suddenly changed the topic,
“But did you hear that, brother?”
“what?”
“One person was killed in the morning.”
The man raised his hand and drew a line in front of his neck.
“What are you talking about?”
“There was this big guy with a nasty personality.”
“There must be one or two people like that. “What’s your name?”
“I don’t know your name. “Because we’re not in a relationship with open faces.”
Even after hearing that, the older man still looked like he didn’t understand what was going on. In the end, the younger one opened his mouth again with a face that seemed like he was dying of fun.
“Oh brother, I guess you really didn’t hear anything. I don’t know? While guarding the entrance, there was someone who came inside. “He worked during the day and was transferred to internal security in the early morning.”
“Ah, I understand. “The one who keeps smoking here by the window?”
“yes. “That guy.”
“He’s dead?”
Only then did the older man become surprised.
At that point, I vaguely realized who they were talking about.
The hunter I sent a message to on my phone yesterday. This is the hunter who pushed my mother.
“Are you really dead? Aren’t we in danger too? “What happened to his death?”
He blatantly lashed out and scolded me.
From his perspective, it is important. No matter how much security you have, if something is so dangerous that you suddenly die, you have to get out of the way quickly.
I understand. You can’t sacrifice your life for a paycheck.
“No, I’m not saying he actually died. They said he was called up.”
“why? “Because of the cigarettes?”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad. That’s not it, he sent them the details of the chat room where he cursed at his superiors. “And to many people.”
“what? “You told me what other guys were swearing at?”
“no. “He said he sent me something he cursed at.”
The startled man’s face immediately changed subtly.
When I heard that the chat room details were sent, I thought he was trying to make a mark on the higher-ups by selling out other people who criticized his boss, but that wasn’t the case.
“why? “Are you crazy?”
“I don’t know. He said he was begging for help and said he didn’t know. First of all, it’s true that he cursed, so I can’t take it away, but it seems certain that he didn’t send the details. But it says it was sent by him.”
After hearing that, the older man, lost in thought, proposed a hypothesis.
“Didn’t it come from one of the new recruits? Those new recruits were really greedy.”
Because I’m new. After all, people who treat people harshly don’t just do it to one person.
It seems to have happened not only to my mother, but also to everyone I met in my life, whether new or new.
“What about the newbie?”
“Kids these days have good technology. “Didn’t you send it through hacking or something?”
The young man stared at his colleague with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.
And he explained quietly, without hiding his regret.
“Brother, you have too many fantasies about kids these days.”
“Are you ignoring me?”
“How dare I?”
My older brother, who was murmuring to say a few more words, asked the question again, perhaps more curious than offended.
“So what happened to him? “Are you really dead?”
“well. They say the Korean Guild Hunters came and took him away in a black car. “They said he was crying and crying, begging for his life.”
“It’s scary. “Isn’t it already put in concrete and dropped into the sea?”
“Iknow, right. Anyway, that’s why all the chat rooms exploded in a hurry.”
“Ah, so all the chat rooms disappeared in the morning. “I must have done something to suddenly kick you out.”
Seo Ji-han, who was quietly listening to the conversation, smiled with satisfaction.
– He’s dead.
“yes?”
– At least it’s not like it’s really alive. I can’t believe you handled it like this without even lifting a finger. As expected, our Moa is smart.
Even though I received the compliment, I felt a cold feeling in my chest. If I were human, my face would have turned white.
“I just got called in the morning and got scolded…”
– Getting scolded?
“I thought it would make life at work a little more uncomfortable and I wouldn’t be able to treat others rudely again…”
– Hmm.
I didn’t want that person to die. Normally, even if you accidentally send an abusive text message to your boss, you won’t die or anything like that. I didn’t expect that.
– Don’t take it too seriously. Anyway, a guy like that is bound to get caught by someone in the short term and his life will be ruined.
“But is he really dead?”
– He might not have died. In any case, you will be responsible for your own actions.
I felt uncomfortable and lowered my head, but Seo Ji-han opened his mouth again, as if trying to comfort me as I became depressed.
– Don’t blame yourself. There’s no need for that. He was going to die soon anyway.
“But…”
– Because I would have killed him.
“Yes?”
When I raised my head in surprise, I saw Seo Ji-han smiling surprisingly sweetly.
– Moya.
“Yes, yes?”
Suddenly a very serious voice calls out
– Why should he be alive when he made you sad?
