The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 112

A mysterious bombing occurs at the administrative headquarters, and the entire Seoul, including the association, falls into a panic.
Nevertheless, in the blockade zone where the operation is still ongoing, a temporary operation command room was set up at Seocho Station, which was barely recaptured.
It has been three days since Director Choi Ho-seong handed over operational command to me.
I made a vain statement that I was the only one who could lead this operation successfully, but… it
was obvious even without looking at his true intentions.
‘I guess they don’t want to take responsibility themselves, so they’re trying to pass it on to me.’
Anyway, I can’t believe I’m worried about my food bowl in this situation.
Indeed, this is a skill worthy of my mentor in a past life.
Thanks to you, I can’t even rest and I wonder what the fuck I’m doing.
“This is the Gangneung branch. It’s almost time for internal shifts. Please give me permission.”
Just then, the radio rang.
I replied angrily while checking the monitor.
“The monsters in that area are less active now, so it should be okay. “Change quickly and defend your current position.”
“Yes, I understand!”
“The Incheon branch is doing its best to prevent monsters from moving to other areas based on Bangbae Station.”
“Yes!”
“Overall, the situation is good. “Everyone, please be patient and give us a radio call immediately if anything goes wrong.”
After finishing the radio call, I leaned back into my chair.
Of course, I had no intention of jumping into the field myself from the beginning.
Since the operation team had been convened, there was no need to exert any effort.
So, even if it was a job, it was just talking on the radio in the command room.
It wouldn’t be difficult to just sit there and make fun of your mouth, but it was so large that even though my body felt comfortable, my head was on the verge of exploding.
Dozens of operational teams and guilds participated in the operation.
Each branch was assigned its own detailed area and rotated within that area to carry out subjugation 24 hours a day.
The guild was placed between zones and was responsible for controlling monsters from being concentrated in one zone.
The subjugation that started like that continued without stopping even for a second.
The first day was quite difficult as we had to overcome hundreds of monsters that had already regenerated and retake the minimum operational area… but that was the only difficulty.
From the next day, the national support team voluntarily participated in the operation and was able to accelerate the progress of the subjugation.
As the number of monsters decreased, things gradually became more stable.
Today is the 5th day since the dungeon appeared and the 3rd day since the operation began.
There are only 3 hours left until the dungeon disappears.
Many people were exhausted from the operation that lasted three days and nights. Sometimes, there were people who panicked out of fear of not knowing when it would end.
‘That doesn’t mean I can’t tell you that there are 3 hours left…’
Not only could I not explain that, but it could also make me let down my guard.
Fortunately, there have been 0 casualties so far.
If you hold on like this, you can finish without any damage.
It was a time when I took a deep breath and stretched.
Rattling―.
“How’s it going?”
It was Director Lee A-young.
She also stayed up all three days and nights with me to support the operation.
Even though he was self-employed, something like that happened and I told him to go back and rest, but he stubbornly stuck around.
I think stubbornness is the best in the world.
“Well, it’s okay. “Everyone is very tired, but… there are no major problems so far.”
“What you’re worried about won’t happen.”
“yes. Fortunately.”
“If this operation is completed without any damage, it will be truly incredible. “Maybe you’ll get a love call from the International Association?”
“…It sounds terrible to hear.”
When I took off the crane, Lee Ah-young smiled as if it was an expected reaction.
I thought I would do that when I didn’t know, but now I wonder if jokes like that come out even though I know everything.
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have told you…’
It’s not that I didn’t, but I eventually told her everything I had found out about the International Association.
After Yang Min-ho’s attack, there was no way to help him beg me to explain what was going on.
Above all, there was no way I could hide it any longer since the attack scene was seen right in front of my eyes.
International Association PB Corporation Hunter Balancing Korea Field Job.
Director Lee Ah-young, who heard all of that, could not say anything as it was more shocking than she expected.
After being lost in thought alone for a while, she asked.
-Is the reason you founded the company also related to that?
As expected, he had a unique sense of touch.
Top secret project with the association president.
Construction of a second international association.
Overseas branch business.
A disguised business for that.
Director Lee Ah-young knew everything about me.
Except, of course, that I regressed.
“Anyway…”
Lee Ah-young spoke in a low voice while observing the surroundings.
“What do you plan to do from now on?”
“Is there anything else to do other than think about it? “We need to start an overseas branch business.”
When he answered firmly, his expression darkened.
“The International Association has been moving to unify subjugation powers around the world for a long time. Well… it seems like most people are not paying much attention because it’s being done legally…
“That’s nonsense.”
In any case, a terrorist attack was carried out against an association in one country. There was no guarantee not to do anything worse.
“If we start an overseas acquisition business, we will naturally go head-to-head with international associations. The same goes for PB Corporation. “You too could become more dangerous than before.”
“Aren’t we already fighting enough?”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
I hesitate for a moment, trailing off my words.
“Can’t I do it?”
“…?”
“As the second international association and secretary-general, can’t I just not do what I do?”
She advised seriously.
“Isn’t it enough just to do small things among ourselves? “There’s no need to do something dangerous.”
“I told you. “It’s a personal goal.”
“….”
“If you don’t like it, you can stop here. “I have received enough help so far.”
“….”
Director Lee Ah-young’s eyes turn to the floor.
Well, no matter how crazy you are, you are still a civilian after all.
I don’t know, but there is no reason for a third party to risk their life to work.
So it’s understandable if you can’t do it anymore.
Of course, I understand, but I have no intention of letting you go.
“What are you talking about?”
At that time, Lee Ah-young laughed and tapped my shoulder.
“Do you really think I would quit because of something like that? I didn’t come because I liked your business, I came because of you, but it’s funny that I’m leaving now. “Let’s do this until the end.”
“Are you going to be okay?”
“The only thing I can do is die.”
She shrugged her shoulders.
I guess I underestimated it.
This guy is really crazy.
“Oh, by the way… I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Would you please look into this?”
He handed over a few bullets.
“When I heard it, I was told that it was a product made from processed stone.”
“….”
Director Lee Ah-young’s eyes narrowed.
“…is it from PB Corporation?”
“Under the circumstances, yes. In any case, confirmation is necessary first. How is this possible?”
“It’s not difficult to check…”
She looked around once again.
“It’s a processed bank item… so if you get caught, you’ll be behind bars right away.”
“Then please don’t get caught.”
“…It’s so easy to say.”
She made a noise of disgust.
Anyway, she was the only person I could entrust it to, even though it was a prisoner and a mess.
Director Lee Ah-young collected the bullets with a nervous expression.
“CEO Kim Jun-woo! “We’re in big trouble!!”
At that time, one of the headquarters staff urgently came into the command room.
“What is it? “Is there a problem with the operation?”
“Oh no! “There’s a problem at headquarters!”
“…headquarters?”
The employee said with a stunned look on his face.
“Director Choi Ho-seong… was attacked.”
“…what?”
It was very shocking news.
***
Director Choi Ho-seong was attacked and killed.
As soon as we heard the shocking news, Ayoung Lee and I headed straight to the Seoul headquarters.
When we arrived at headquarters, the police and investigators who had already arrived were controlling the scene.
“What on earth is going on?”
I approached the police officer guarding the entrance and asked.
The young policeman looked me up and down and frowned.
“Are you a headquarters official?”
“Not now.”
“Then I can’t tell you the details.”
“If you could at least tell me what happened….”
“I’m sorry. “We are currently investigating.”
The young police officer repeatedly stopped me with a stern expression.
Ah, this is someone I can’t communicate with.
“Hey man! “What are you doing now?”
Suddenly, a police officer who appeared to be a senior intervened, looking startled.
At first glance, the police officer, who was about my father’s age, somehow lowered his posture and opened his mouth.
“Hahaha sorry. This guy just came in, so he doesn’t even know the former head of the division…”
“That’s the former head of the division?!”
The young police officer’s eyes widened belatedly. Then he quickly lowered his head towards me.
“I’m sorry! I made a big mistake…”
“No, you don’t need to be sorry. “Please tell me what the situation is.”
The young police officer opened his mouth with a humble expression.
“Last night, an aide named Yoo Young-soo first saw the body and reported it… but as I heard, he hasn’t contacted me since yesterday afternoon. So, they said they went to the office and found him lying on the floor bleeding.”
“What is the cause of death?”
“First of all, it was a trauma caused by a weapon…”
The young police officer looked at the reporters and citizens gathered around him and lowered his voice.
“It appears to be a shooting incident.”
“Firearms?”
“yes. One shot straight to the heart. There were no signs of resistance and only one external injury, so our guess was that they had been attacked by someone nearby…” I
didn’t even finish the sentence, but I brushed my hair.
Just by listening to that point, I was able to guess who the culprit was.
He is a crazy person who knows Headquarters Director Choi Ho-seong and is capable of openly attacking the Head of Operations within the Headquarters.
Moreover, he is an expert who can aim at the heart with a single shot using a firearm.
‘Assistant manager Hwang Dong-hwi….’
No, should I say he is now a part leader?
I never thought he was this crazy.
‘Are you trying to show me an example before you get rid of me?’
Since both the attack and threats failed, are you going to kill Ho-seong Choi to warn him?
No, there is no need to make a fuss when you have already been caught by me.
It would have been better for him to disappear as much as possible without any mouse or bird noticing.
However, the reason why he did something so noticeable…
‘Could it be that Choi Ho-seong caught his tail?’
Yes, it makes the most sense to think that way now.
Damn you bastards….
You’ve gone too far beyond being bold.
Now that you’ve been caught, there’s nothing to worry about anymore.
Just as I was chewing my teeth, the radio rang.
“teacher! The dungeon has disappeared!」
「The remaining monsters in Gangneung Branch C-1 area have been subdued!」
「Area A-3 has also been subdued!」
「A-2 B-1… It looks like the entire area has been subjugated.」
「Total There are 231 injured and the number of deaths is zero.”
“The operation will end!”
An excited voice announcing the end of the operation.
Those who still had no idea what was happening outside cheered in pure joy.
But I couldn’t enjoy it.
The operation was completed without major damage… but damage occurred in the end anyway.
“The head of the operation headquarters was attacked inside the headquarters… What on earth is going on?”
“…That’s right.”
I looked up at the headquarters building with very bitter eyes and muttered.
