I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 14

Episode 014

I laughed while crying.

I was in tears, but I was so happy that I survived.

“Deputy Director, I have something to tell you.”

“Huh? Mr. Moa, anything. Tell me anything. I will listen to everything.”

“I will resign.”

The deputy director, who stiffened at my answer, nodded, suppressing his overflowing emotions.

We both had tears in our eyes.

“Where is the patient?”

As I was holding hands with the conductor, a doctor suddenly appeared from somewhere.

He seemed a little surprised to see me covered in blood, but he realized that it was a simple abrasion and that the doctor was still there.

“The abrasion is serious. There is a risk of infection, so please take an ambulance first.” “Let’s get on and go together. The person you were looking for is here, so you’ll go together now, right?”

At those words, I realized that the conductor had been waiting here for me the whole time without going to the hospital.

“Why didn’t you go?”

“We broke up like that, so how can we really…”

I thought the conductor was a very cool-headed person.

Also, tears were welling up in the conductor’s eyes.

So we were escorted to the hospital according to the doctor’s instructions.

After arriving at the hospital, being sterilized and receiving simple treatment, I finally came to my senses.

It struck me that I was back to this normal life again.

The deputy manager and assistant manager were away to take care of business, so I was sitting alone waiting for the doctor’s discharge instructions.

I followed along to help, but the conductor shook his head firmly, pointing to my limbs covered in ointment and gauze, so I decided to stay.

By the way, I’m sure your mom heard this news too, right?

There was news about this incident on the hospital TV I saw on the way, so there is a high probability that you know about it.

It was obvious that he was worried, so I took out my phone to call to say I was okay, but the screen was completely shattered.

Well, I rolled on the ground and got hit with so many rocks that there was no way my cell phone, which was roughly in my back pocket, would be safe.

As soon as I leave, I’ll have to buy a cell phone first.

The deputy chief and assistant manager said they would gather the survivors by team and contact their families, so my mom would probably hear the news that way too.

When I thought of the dead people, my mood sank.

Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like there were quite a few victims.

It’s rather amazing that so many survivors emerged from that hellish island.

People were seen here and there doing research for a joint funeral list.

The surrounding area was very noisy with people from the broadcasting station, paramedics carrying the patient, nurse, and guardians running into the hospital crying.

Will Seo Ji-han be added to the list of dead people?

Should I announce his death?

If you want to pray before the funeral, it might be a good idea to leave his body at the morgue here at the hospital before going home.

I opened my inventory to check what I had obtained from the gathering earlier and also to check Seo Ji-han’s body.

There were numerous items in the inventory.

There was a dizzying array of by-products from various Chung Kings, including Chung King Kergis’s shell and horn magic stone and Seo Ji-han’s weapon, the Lion’s Scythe.

Meanwhile, I searched for Seo Ji-han’s body for a while, but strangely, I couldn’t find it.

what?

Are you sure you collected it?

Where did you go? Where did the body go?

I urgently searched the inventory, but couldn’t find anything that looked like Seo Ji-han’s body.

I need to hold a funeral.

I really took care of it.

Could it be that they were left in that dungeon? Did you mistakenly think you took care of it?

In a moment of confusion, a small stone placed in a corner of my inventory caught my eye.

A white stone so small and simple that it looks shabby among the magic stones that emit a mysterious light.

The item name of the stone was floating like this.

Seo Ji-han’s soul stone.

Instead of his body, the items from his inventory and his soul stone were placed in my inner ventory.

Instead of putting his body in my inventory, I looted his belongings.

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Soul stone?

What is this?

Why is this here?

Could this be in place of Seo Ji-han’s body?

Do hunters leave soul stones behind when they die?

Or maybe…

is it because of my skills?

In a panic, I clicked on the detailed explanation, but there wasn’t a single explanation that would be helpful to the current situation.

Details: A stone containing Seo Ji-han’s soul.

Owner: Sonmoa.

(Caution: The owner will change depending on the last stored inventory.)

No, it must be Seo Ji-han’s soul stone.

It’s just a long description of the item name.

Is there any more detailed explanation?

A little more…

“Patient Sonmoa?”

When I suddenly raised my head at the sound of calling, I saw a very tired-looking nurse examining me.

Let’s put this aside for now.

Because it seems like there’s nothing we can know right now anyway.

“Yes, it’s me.”

“I’ll check the treatment in a moment.”

The nurse checked the dressings on my back, nape, and entire body and nodded.

“You don’t feel dizzy or anything, do you?”

“yes.”

“Let me take your temperature.”

The thermometer entered my ear and beeped briefly.

“You don’t have a fever.”

“I’m fine. Except the wound is a little sore.”

Actually, I have a problem with confusion in my head, but this is not something this person can help with, so I keep quiet. What I

need now is a quiet space where I can calmly sort out the situation.

There is absolutely nothing I can do in this hospital, which is like a battlefield. .

“Thank goodness. I think you can be discharged from the hospital. Just get the prescription first and there is no need to pay for it separately. Since this is a special disaster situation, all medical expenses will be covered by the government. Oh, and please do not shower for three days.”

“Is it three days?”

When I asked anxiously, the nurse nodded firmly.

Please think again.

I came out of the dungeon with a sore body.

The biggest reason I want to go home is because I want to take a shower, but you’re telling me not to take a shower? That’s also 3. Is it work?

“Yes, don’t let it get in the water. Just wipe the area with a wet towel and apply the ointment thoroughly.”

“Can you attach a waterproof band or something like that?”

“The affected area is too large to create an adhesive surface. “If you do it wrong, it may fester, so be careful. If you feel unwell even after returning home, please come to the hospital or contact us right away.”

The nurse was so firm that I stopped whining and nodded.

Then I got a prescription from the reception desk and left the hospital without any regrets.

Actually, my ears were hurting a bit from the noise.

Ugh, I just want to apply healing potion and make it better.

But wouldn’t you think it was strange if the wound suddenly showed up completely healed?

Wounds that others are aware of inevitably have to be healed slowly.

At least while hiding my awakening.

After changing my prescription to medicine at a nearby pharmacy, I was about to head home when suddenly the most urgent thing came to mind.

It wasn’t a soul stone issue.

That’s later.

I don’t have a cell phone.

With the intention of saving my phone first, I looked around.

There was no need to go far.

Because there was one right nearby.

No, there are three.

No matter where you go in Korea, there are always mobile phone dealers.

There are so many cell phone stores, so how do they make a living without going bankrupt?

The secret may be to work hard until this time.

The words “open 24 hours a day” written on the banner were clearly visible.

“Starting today, we are giving away the latest smartphone with no interest for 60 months!”

It’s free, so why is it interest-free?

As I entered the store, leaving behind the energetically shouting touts, the man inside stood up in greeting and then was shocked.

I thought it was probably because of the gauze wrapped all over my body.

“welcome. Are you looking for a cell phone?”

Instead of answering, I took out my smashed cell phone and showed it to him, and he nodded as if he understood.

“Are you repairing the screen?”

“No. I’m going to buy a new one.”

The man’s eyes were shining brightly.

It was as if he had just bitten off something.

I tensed up so as not to become a pushover.

“Sit here, is there a model you are looking for?”

As soon as I sat down, the man took out a piece of paper with all kinds of rates written on it.

I wasn’t looking for anything in particular.

“It’s just that the rates are cheap…”

“Ah, there’s an event going on right now, so you’ve come to the right place. How about this one here? It’s an old model, but the current policy is…” While

listening to all the different rate policies that made my head spin, I suddenly came to my senses.

Why am I doing this?

I’m rich.

“Can I use the bathroom for a moment ? ?”

Since I couldn’t take out the money from my inventory here, I needed a place where I could be alone.

In response to my question, the man who led the contract with flashy words looked wary. He

seemed worried that all the fish he had caught would run away.

“Go outside and turn right. “It’s there if you go.”

“I’ll be back for a bit.”

As the man said, I left the store and immediately saw the restroom.

From my inventory, I took out a bundle of 100 50,000 won bills I bought at Hunter Market in the morning, unfastened the paper strips, and

stuffed roughly 2 million won into my pocket, putting the rest back into my inventory. After putting it in, I returned to the store.

People might think it’s strange if I suddenly return with a wad of money.

“Ah, are you here?”

“Yes, please give me a lump sum payment for your latest cell phone. The fee is unlimited.”

When I spoke without even sitting down, he asked back with a puzzled expression,

“A lump sum payment?”

“Yes. I will pay in cash. Please see if I can save my contacts and data on my existing phone.”

“Oh, then how about this? It’s the latest model, and if you pay in cash in a lump sum, it’s 1.2 million won…”

“Please take that.”

Even though I was buying things with great strides, a part of my heart felt sleepy.

It seemed like my money sense couldn’t keep up with my financial situation.

It may be difficult to change habits that have been developed throughout your life in an instant.

Or rather, this may be proof that I have not lost my sense of reality.
