I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 74

Episode 075

At that moment, a status window appeared in front of me.

Eundam Yoo explained again as if he knew from my attitude that this was my first time encountering this item

.

“People who eat it can talk to each other. If you have any business for me, please eat some of the half green yam fruit I gave you. “If I have to see Hunter Sonmoa, I’ll eat the pink yukgwa.”

Ah, now I understand.

If you share a whole piece, those who share it will be able to ‘communicate’ with each other.

To prevent the effect from activating right away, the activation time is adjusted so that only one person eats the fruit and the other person eats it when needed.

Similar words were written in the detailed description of the item.

Item: Communication Benefits

Details: Allows you to communicate for a certain period of time with the person you share it with, transcending distance language.

I nodded.

Honestly, I didn’t expect you to care this much.

I’m a little touched.

Seo Ji-han supplemented the explanation to see if the item was familiar.

– If you speak after eating, it will be heard by Eundam Yoo. It doesn’t matter how far away you are. Even if you’re in a dungeon, you can get through it. On the other hand, even if Yoo Eundam speaks, you will hear it. It is the simplest and most powerful among existing communication items. If we eat it all at once, we can talk for about an hour.

Oh, it’s amazing.

I wanted to try it right away to see how it would work, but I figured I’d probably use it sometime in the future anyway, so I decided to just keep it.

Is it like telepathy?

Ah, Hunter Yoo Eundam. Like talking to your head?

As I was putting the communication skills into my inventory, an item suddenly caught my eye.

Horn of Vargis x2

Why two?

Could it be that they gave him two horns because he was bifurcated?

Come to think of it, I also looted several of Kergis’ legs.

I guess I got two because it really has two horns.

Two.

Even though Seo Ji-han only ate a piece of the evil spirit king’s horn, he was able to inherit a skill, so he would be able to obtain a skill by eating just one.

It seems reasonable to say that each skill can be inherited.

Then, since there are two, wouldn’t it be okay to give one to Yoo Eundam?

I don’t know what will happen in the future, but if Yoo Eundam gains S-class skills, anything will be of great help.

I already felt bad about sending it away, but it turned out that it had two horns.

Without thinking for long, I took out a horn.

Fortunately, the horn, which was much smaller and thinner than Kergis’ horn, fell onto the sand.

It almost looked like coral.

This one is small so it will be easy to eat.

“Take this.”

“This is…”

“It is the intact horn of Vargis. “It will help.”

Yu Eundam looked like he wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he didn’t say anything and put the horn in his inventory.

And then he bowed his head and said hello.

“thank you.”

“Hey, we caught it together anyway.”

The skills that can be obtained from Vargis are poison or transformation skills.

Either way, it was a useful skill.

I’m not sure what skill he’ll get because he deliberately picked up something without looking at the item description.

When I looked at the item description, I thought I would have to choose whether to give this or that, so I just gave it whatever I could find.

Yoo Eun-dam, who was holding the horn, took out a scroll from his inventory as if this was really the last time.

It’s a familiar-looking object.

An evocative moving scroll that I also enjoy using.

“Then I’ll really go. “Please contact me later.”

I nodded, made eye contact, and waved my hand.

I hope you stay safe until I see you again.

Eundam Yoo, who was about to leave, suddenly grinned and spoke in a playful voice.

“You know what?”

“what?”

“I really can’t lie.”

Before the words were finished, Yoo Eun-dam disappeared.

My belated answer eventually fell into thin air where he disappeared.

“Ah…”

I squatted down and scratched my head.

As I was doing that, Seo Ji-han came to my side, smiling.

“It looks like you got caught, right? “You said earlier that you didn’t know Mr. Seo Ji-han.”

– hmm. Still, there won’t be any problem.

“I think so.”

As I was sighing again, Seo Ji-han spoke softly.

– But the horns. You gave it to me because you didn’t want to eat it?

“Hmm.”

Seo Ji-han just laughed at my clearing of the throat.

– You should get some rest now, right? Shall we go there today?

Seo Ji-han pointed to a bright light visible across the desert.

I’m definitely tired.

The successive battles and the sense of accomplishment of finally escaping make me want to take a good rest.

But even if I lie down in bed now, I don’t think I can fall asleep.

I slowly shook my head as I looked at the city Seo Ji-han pointed to.

“After seeing my family first.”

I guess I’m anxious.

Could it be that something has already happened?

I felt like my anxiety would never go away unless I checked what my mother and Seungju were doing.

– Are you okay?

“There is also an invisibility scroll.”

– The invisibility scroll is useful, but it has many weaknesses. If it even slightly bumps into someone, it will break right away.

“I know. So I’m going to cover my face too.”

Seo Ji-han seemed like he wanted to say something more, but he just kept his mouth shut.

He seemed to realize that no matter what he said, I wouldn’t stop.

And I know the weaknesses of the invisibility scroll.

If you use scroll to move while in a transparent state, the transparency will be canceled.

Perhaps the effect of the moving scroll was acting as a kind of shock.

In the end, you had to turn invisible after using the movement scroll, but then you could be caught by someone in the short moment before you turn invisible right after you move.

I pulled the hat of my large overcoat down and put on my mask.

Even if someone catches you for a moment, wouldn’t it be better if you don’t show your face?

After sufficiently preparing, I moved to Geoje Island.

Thinking of the small, deserted alley outside the wall of my mother’s house.

The alley was quiet.

The time was night.

Because it is a fairly old and narrow alley, there is no CCTV here.

I quickly turned invisible and quietly walked along the fence.

By the way, what time is it now?

Actually, as I was moving, I was worried what would happen if it was broad daylight, but fortunately it was night.

Seeing that there was no sound from the TV, it felt like it was closer to dawn than night.

Anyway, it worked out well for me.

I turned the corner and stood in front of the front door of a familiar house, taking a deep breath.

Since I was caught opening the door and going in, I was thinking of climbing over the fence.

But before that, Seo Ji-han passed through the wall, went in, came out, and shook his head.

– The lights are off?

“Aren’t you sleeping because it’s night?”

– No pretense of popularity. Shall we go a little further inside?

“no. “I’ll go see it myself.”

After whispering a little, I easily climbed over the fence.

As Seo Ji-han said, the yard and the house were quiet.

It seems to have been empty for a long time.

I looked inside through the window, suppressing an ominous feeling.

Currently, the country house where my mother lives alone has poor security, so you can see the entire house through the window.

In the summer, we lived with all of these doors open, and the front door was open more times than closed.

It’s not that my mother is a particularly unsuspicious person, but this neighborhood as a whole has that kind of atmosphere.

Still, there were no thieves, so even after moving to the city, I lived with my house open and had many surprising experiences.

Anyway, I looked everywhere in the house, but there was no trace of my mother.

Have you already been hit?

Just when his vision suddenly became dark, Seo Ji-han muttered.

– But didn’t you go on a trip around the world with your mom’s friends?

ah.

Oh, that’s right.

I remember giving him a few hundred million won, and he eventually opened his eyes to overseas travel and said he would go on a trip with his friends.

I think he already left the country before I entered the dungeon, but I guess he hasn’t entered the country yet.

So the house was empty.

I was surprised for no reason.

– Don’t startle me.

Seo Ji-han gave a slight thump in my direction.

Because I was wearing an invisibility scroll, I couldn’t be seen, but I could sense my location.

It was said that his natural ability to detect presence was excellent, but after becoming a spirit, he developed additional senses that he could not explain.

In other words, it feels like you are feeling something soul-to-soul.

“I thought my mom would definitely be home.”

– after. What should I do now?

Now that things are like this, I can’t find my mom.

The only way to find it is to contact them directly, but the moment you take your phone out of your inventory, it will be tracked by a nearby cell tower.

“Well, mom, let’s give up and go to Seungju. “If they had touched my mother, Seungju wouldn’t have left them alone.”

– Do you know your brother’s house?

“I’ve been there a few times. “If you haven’t moved yet, you’ll still be there, right?”

After putting on my hood and wearing my mask tightly, I was about to rip open the moving scroll when it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps all of this was actually an overreaction on my part.

“But isn’t there a possibility that they might not be interested in me?”

– They? well.

“It’s not that they don’t care at all, but they might not care so much that they even use CCTV to monitor them and entrap their families. “If I’m the only one overreacting like this for no reason…”

– Then, what’s the good thing? If it were me, I wouldn’t be as cautious as you are, but you like to be careful about things.

“Hmm. Yes. “There is no harm in being careful.”

– that’s right. As long as you’re not tired, there’s no harm in being careful. Being cautious is the right decision in most cases.

okay. Nothing can be certain yet.

Since it felt like no one was visiting my mom’s house, I must have relaxed a little without realizing it.

I pulled up my mask again and tore through the scroll, remembering Seungju’s house.
