The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 298

Paris, France.

Former National Assembly building and current headquarters of the International Hunter Association.

bang-!

I quickly got into a fighting stance and kicked in the door.

“…?”

“…?”

The eyes of all employees walking around the building were focused at once.

Let’s face them without letting our guard down, as we don’t know who will attack us.

“Let’s take it easy.”

“The door will all break.”

“Are you staying here alone?”

There was a fairly cold response.

And… that was it.

After giving them a word of attention, they soon seemed to have no interest and were absorbed in their work again.

“…what?”

“…Is this the end?”

Han Yu-bin and Kim Min-ju muttered as if they were very embarrassed by that, and I was the same way.

‘You don’t know us…?’

I can’t believe I had such a question while looking at the interior, which was busy as if nothing was going on.

“At this time, the remaining operation team has all been dispatched and there is no one there. “There are at most a few administrative staff… These people don’t know your faces anyway, so they can just come in.”

“….”

“….”

Chloe took the first step and spoke calmly.

At the same time, we made quite absurd expressions.

We entered with all the required forms, but I never thought anyone would know who we were….

‘This isn’t like a field trip…’

At that time, I was so confused.

“what are you doing. “Aren’t you following me?”

Chloe, who was walking without any boundaries as if going in and out of her own home, spoke in frustration.

We slowly followed her with embarrassed faces.

“….”

“….”

Nothing happened to the point where I wondered if this could really happen.

While heading to the lab, we encountered a few headquarters staff, but no one paid any attention to us.

Surprisingly indifferent reaction.

Let alone the guards who stopped us, there was not a single person who had any questions about us, and we arrived at the front of the lab without any disturbance.

However, for the first time since I set foot here, I was stopped in front of it.

“How do I open the door here…?”

At a glance, it was a fairly thick door that was firmly locked.

“Well… it’s a bank item lab, so they probably have this level of security.”

“Don’t you think it would be difficult to break it?”

“But we got this far without any problems. Wouldn’t it be better to avoid causing a fuss now?”

Lee Ah-young, Han Yu-bin, and Kim Min-ju added a word each.

Former bank item control center belonging to PB Corporation.

‘Hmm…’

At that time, I was lost in thought for a moment about what to do in front of the tightly locked door.

Beep-beep.

Chloe scanned her ID card.

Clap!

“Oh is this still working?”

“…?”

“…?”

The door to the control center opened wide enough to make my worries go to waste.

…It’s ridiculous.

I never thought the information of people who left the company would have been deleted yet.

‘This is complete bullshit.’

For a moment I shook my head at the absurdity of the situation, but then we slowly entered the lab.

Space divided by sector.

A place filled with all kinds of equipment and machines.

Chloe threw herself on a chair and spoke to us in the most comfortable position in the world.

“The one in area A-3 over there is the time stone, and the one in area A-4 is the dimension stone. “The dedicated case is in the detailed equipment storage room over there, so I check it carefully and put it in.”

“….”

“….”

Once again, we encountered the bank items very easily without any interruption.

‘It’s a strategy meeting, and it’s embarrassing to make such a fuss…’

A hollow laugh escaped me.

“That’s why you said you didn’t have to bring me.”

Chloe seemed to have read my expression at once and made a noise of exasperation.

“I had no idea it would be this sloppy.”

“Except for a few specific teams, the rest is actually the same as other organizations. “It’s the same with everything people do.”

“Huh…”

“I said I didn’t have time. “Let’s get it quickly and get out.”

I nodded at her words and immediately started packing up the bank items.

And then.

“…hey.”

Director Lee Ah-young opened his mouth insinuatingly.

“Is that… is it really like that?”

She pointed at something.

Jiyiing―.

The dimension stone stored in area A-4 was seen emitting bright purple light.

“…Why is it like that?”

“Isn’t it going to explode?”

“Oh no way.”

Me, Kim Min-ju, and Han Yu-bin also said a word about the unknown phenomenon.

However, Chloe, the former general manager of this control center, just stared at the light for a moment.

“Hide Sue!”

He suddenly became very embarrassed and raised his voice.

“yes yes?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?!”

“Shut up and hide quickly!!”

Her reaction, which seemed so urgent, made us move without even having a chance to ask why.

It was right after everyone hid themselves in every nook and cranny of the lab.

Paaah!

Dozens of silhouettes appeared along with the intense light of the dimension stone.

Soon, I saw the silhouette and automatically started cursing.

‘Fuck it….’

As expected, the person who appeared in the control center was none other than the head of the International Hunter Association.

Wesley was Secretary General.

‘Why on earth already…’

Why has he already returned?

I chewed my teeth, hid myself, and glared at him.

I heard that there was a big fire in the containment area. Is that really why they retreated?

Or have you already obtained Eden?

Or else…

‘Could it be that they noticed that we broke into the headquarters…?’

A thousand thoughts cluttered my mind.

But either way, it didn’t change the fact that we were cornered.

The moment I wondered what to do.

Jump and jump -.

“…!”

Secretary General Wesley’s footsteps stopped right in front of the desk where I was hiding.

***

“Tsk…”

Bank item control center.

As soon as Secretary General Wesley returned to headquarters through the dimension gate, he frowned and clicked his tongue.

I never would have thought that after such a tragic start, I would return in such vain.

If this is the case, doesn’t it seem ridiculous that they even gave up on the Berlin air raid and retreated?

‘Haa…’

Of course, there was no other choice in that situation.

Noah’s guild was spread throughout the area due to the blocking of the Neungpa faction.

In addition, sudden forest fires of unknown cause.

Since it was impossible to search, it was impossible to stay there any longer.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to prepare a little more thoroughly and try again.

However, the problem is…

‘Kim Jun-woo is probably moving too…’

The fact that Noah Guild is moving means that it is highly likely that Kim Jun-woo also received information that Eden was discovered.

And if this incident gets to WDSO’s ears, there is no way they will remain silent.

They will definitely try to retrieve Eden at any cost.

‘Could it be that he started the fire…?’

Let that thought pass by for a moment.

Secretary General Wesley quickly shook his head.

The fire may have been intentionally set to force us to retreat from the area… but

there is no way the Russian government would give permission to set fire to the Ural Mountains just for that purpose.

Russia is the only country where the International Association cannot find its weaknesses.

This is a country that cannot control the subjugation industry using bait because it is a country that has no investment or expectations whatsoever in the subjugation industry.

There is no reason for such people to burn down intact mountain ranges to block the International Association.

Because they have no reason to be afraid of us in the first place.

So the forest fire was not done to stop us.

No, rather than trying to stop us….

‘To retreat all troops in the area…?’

If so, it is highly likely that the culprit who started the forest fire was not Kim Jun-woo but a third party.

And given the current situation, speaking of third parties…

‘…nuisance people got involved.’

Secretary General Wesley muttered that once.

“Well… no one will be able to get close to it until the forest fire is extinguished, so there’s no need to rush.”

He opened his mouth to the employees who returned together.

“First, let’s gather some more information. “Find out the locations of all dungeons in the area using satellite, classify them in order of risk, and come up with a list of suspicious dungeons.”

“yes.”

“As soon as the flames die down… we’ll move right back on. Until then, find Eden somehow.”

Instead of responding to his words, the employees started moving in unison.

It takes three days at the earliest to extinguish a forest fire.

A week at the latest.

You have to somehow find a powerful dungeon within it.

Then, as soon as the forest fire is extinguished, you can collect it faster than anyone else and get your hands on it.

‘….’

Nevertheless, Secretary General Wesley’s expression was still stiff.

That’s because the International Association was no different from being pushed to the edge of a cliff.

Attacking the WDSO branch and tearing them to pieces also failed.

PB Corporation was forcibly disbanded, and as a result, he lost all those who would have supported him.

Above all, the Berlin air raid, which had been prepared as a turning point, failed, and as a result, the International Association lost a lot of power.

If things continue like this, we will walk down the path of downfall.

So, you must obtain Eden at all costs.

The last chance and the last choice.

If you fail this time too… it’s all over.

At that time, I was determined to leave the control center.

“…?”

Secretary General Wesley suddenly stopped and looked around the inside of the center.

It was because I felt like I heard something.

I looked inside the center for a while, but there was nothing suspicious.

‘….’

But even as I was crossing the hallway toward the office, I couldn’t stop feeling an uneasy feeling.

Eventually, he stopped and soon turned around and walked somewhere else.

And where he headed.

“Secretary-General Sa…?”

“How did we get to this point…”

It was an information records room where company business data was stored and processed.

“Could you check the bank item control center access records?”

“yes yes…? “Of course!”

The employees were momentarily taken aback by the secretary general’s sudden visit.

Soon they began to focus on the monitor.

And not long after.

“Uh… I don’t think there’s anything unusual.”

One of the employees scratched his head and opened his mouth.

“Are there any signs of suspicious entry or forced opening of the door?”

“Yes, yes… If there had been such access in the first place, we would have known about it first. Above all, there were only two entry records today, so it is not difficult to check.”

“…okay.”

Secretary General Wesley answered softly.

Was it all for naught?

The moment I turned my back with the thought that I must have become sensitive.

“…for a moment.”

He stopped moving again.

“The entry and exit record was recorded twice…?”

“Ah yes.”

His eyebrows narrowed sharply at the employee’s confirmation.

For once, I know who it is.

The control center moved to Russia this morning, so of course it must be you.

Then…

“Who is the other one…?”

“Uh…”

The employee took a moment to check the monitor.

“It’s Team Leader Chloe. Well, since she’s the center’s general manager, she must have had some business to attend to…”

He stopped talking and froze.

This was because the moment I met Secretary General Wesley’s stern eyes, my thoughts stopped.

And soon.

bang-!

Secretary General Wesley rushed out of the records room with the intention of smashing all the walls.
