The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 302

Item production laboratory under WDSO Seoul headquarters, Korea.
Commonly known as Eclipse.
A day has passed since Kim Jun-woo and all other personnel returned to headquarters.
In the meantime, everyone forgot about the intense battle and took a short rest, but Director Lee Ah-young and Chloe could not.
I had to stay up all night at Eclipse to manage the recovered bank items.
“I never thought I would see it all come together with my own eyes. That too in our country….”
Immediately after completing the storage of bank items for each chamber.
Director Lee Ah-young muttered in an inaudible voice.
Time Stone, Dimension Stone, Ban Neung Seok, Lee Neung Seok.
Four bank items that can control the ability dimension in each field are all gathered in one place.
As Director Lee Ah-young couldn’t take her eyes off the glass tube containing the bank items, Chloe burst into laughter.
“You’re not a kid, why do you like a few rocks so much…”
“I don’t think that’s what a rock expert would say.”
“….”
An arrow returns immediately to the words I spat out.
Chloe seemed speechless and immediately changed the topic.
“You know, right? “The fact that non-transferable bank items have changed hands so many times means that the situation is seriously messed up.”
“i know.”
“Still, are you still that thrilled?”
“Should I say I’m thrilled or the opposite? It’s a strange feeling.”
Director Lee Ah-young answered in a very frustrated voice while still keeping his gaze fixed on the front.
As Chloe said, the negative side of having bank items here was greater than the positive side.
Because it meant that order and rules had collapsed.
So I couldn’t be purely happy about this situation.
It was at that time that Director Lee Ah-young was silent for a long time with a complex and subtle expression.
“I’m sorry about the headquarters.”
I had a hard time conveying those words to Chloe.
“Junwoo isn’t really that kind of person, but the situation is so…”
“You don’t need to apologize to me.”
Chloe cut her off.
“There were many instances where I lost colleagues while I was there. “Not only me, but everyone has probably had a similar experience at least once.”
“….”
“So Dave probably expected it to some extent, too.”
She continued speaking calmly.
“And… if it were me anyway, I would have done the same thing as Kim Jun-woo in that situation.”
“…is that so.”
“If you said you were going back, I was planning on stopping you.”
Director Lee Ah-young nodded slightly.
Even though his juniors and co-workers lost their lives for helping him, he reacted calmly.
Director Lee Ah-young felt not only pity for her, but even sympathy.
The reason she didn’t feel anything after seeing her colleague’s death doesn’t mean that she wasn’t human, but that so many things had happened to her that even her sad feelings disappeared.
At that time, I was glancing at Chloe like that.
“Anyway… where is Kim Jun-woo? “I haven’t seen you since I came back.”
Chloe must have been aware of the stares, so she immediately moved on to another story.
“Oh, the cleaning team is in the office.”
“…? “What are you doing there?”
“I don’t know.”
Chloe narrowed her eyes as if she didn’t understand the answer.
“It’s really just there. It’s not like I’m working, and I’m not even doing cleaning work. I was worried, so I went to see him, but he didn’t say anything…”
“Is it because of the Paris incident…?”
“Junwoo, you must be complicated in one way or another.”
“Hmm… I didn’t look like that kind of person.”
Chloe crossed her arms and tilted her head.
I could understand what it meant that Director Lee A-young did not seem like that kind of person.
A person who always makes rational and cool-headed judgments and choices.
A person who does not show his emotions in any situation.
A person so perfect and flawless that sometimes you wonder if he is actually a human being.
Chloe may have thought so since she always met Kim Jun-woo as her enemy, but Director Lee A-young had a slightly different opinion.
After watching him for the past three years, she found out that he was more timid than anyone else.
A person who is not afraid of dying himself, but of fearing that people around him will die.
So, the person who always tries to be at the forefront.
A person whose fear is so great that they have become unable to feel fear themselves.
‘There’s no way a person like that would be okay after something like that happened in Paris.’
Director Lee Ah-young muttered that to himself.
And then.
“You are here.”
The door to the Eclipse Bank item management room burst open and he came in.
“…Junwoo?”
“Well, I was just talking about that.”
Junwoo Kim.
He took the step himself after being stuck in the office for a full day.
“What’s going on here? “When you’re done with work, go home and get some rest.”
“It’s nothing else…”
Kim Jun-woo trailed off and looked around.
And soon.
“Is it possible for us to create dungeons using dimension stones?”
I asked an unexpected question.
At the same time, Director Lee Ah-young asked back with a puzzled expression.
“…Why is that suddenly?”
“I have some things to check personally… I think I need to do some training in advance.”
“yes…?”
Director Lee Ah-young’s eyebrows narrowed.
That was because I couldn’t understand what he was saying.
“Anyway, is it possible?”
“It’s possible… let’s do it.”
“Then open one for me. “To red level.”
Still speaking calmly.
Director Lee Ah-young looked at him like that and asked in a questioning voice.
“You’re not planning on going in alone, are you?”
“….”
I knew it.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but you can never do it alone!”
“Do I really have to die?”
“Is it that easy to say?! “In randomly generated dungeons, you never know what might happen because the supernatural faction is unstable, and if you’re unlucky, non-standard monsters may appear!”
“….”
“You can do enough training here, so never create a dungeon…!”
The moment when Director Lee Ah-young repeatedly raised his voice and persuaded Kim Jun-woo.
“….”
Suddenly, my eyes met with Kim Jun-woo.
And soon.
“…all right. “I will try.”
She suddenly gave up persuasion and changed her attitude.
At the same time, Kim Jun-woo expressed his gratitude without adding another word and immediately left Eclipse.
When Kim Jun-woo disappeared like that.
“Are you crazy? Why do you allow that? “There’s no equipment for controlling supernatural factions here, so if you’re not careful, the dungeon could collapse.”
Chloe immediately reprimanded Director Lee Ah-young as if it was absurd.
“No matter what that person says, even if it means death, what if they allow something like this? This is just to die….”
“….”
But something was strange.
Normally she would have answered right away, but for some reason she kept her mouth shut.
Chloe, who sensed something unusual, slightly lowered her head and looked at her face…
Director Lee Ah-young’s face was frozen as if she had seen a monster.
“…what. What’s wrong?”
“….”
“hey. Come to your senses. “Why are you doing that?”
“…This is my first time seeing you.”
Only then did Director Lee Ah-young open his mouth with difficulty.
“Why is Junwoo so angry?”
***
WDSO Seoul Headquarters.
Operations headquarters room.
“….”
“….”
Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin were sitting across from each other and tipping their tea cups without saying a word.
Both of them looked at the floor with quite dark expressions, as if the events in Paris could not leave their minds.
At that time, there was silence for a long time.
“…It’s quiet.”
Kim Min-ju was the first to break the silence and open his mouth.
“It’s quiet because it doesn’t speak.”
“No, not us.”
Kim Min-ju moved his gaze to the ceiling and continued.
“The noise was constant until yesterday… but it’s too quiet here. “It was as if nothing had happened.”
“….”
Han Yu-bin also followed Kim Min-ju and moved his gaze into the air.
“The night before the storm… something like that?”
After muttering that, he asked Kim Min-ju in a subtle way.
“What do you think will happen in the future?”
“well. We obtained the bank items and prevented Eden from entering the International Association, so in some ways it was a good thing…”
“It is not a good thing for Eden to be allowed into a third party.”
As Han Yu-bin spoke, Kim Min-ju nodded slightly.
“Yes. “Because it’s something that has meaning only if we have it.”
“The International Association won’t stand still, right?”
“What is that…”
Kim Min-joo trailed off.
There was no need to answer because it was natural.
Soon, Minju Kim spoke again.
“Maybe they will do something about Russia first. Either attack or make a deal. “With even the bank items taken away, Eden is the last remaining stronghold.”
“Then shouldn’t we be like this and take action?”
“The board of directors is still trying in many ways to have a dialogue with Russia. The same goes for Director Lee Du-sik and Secretary General. But what…”
Kim Min-joo let out a light sigh.
Judging by the reaction, it seemed like it wasn’t going well.
“Anyway, since I have nothing to lose, I might go even more extreme.”
“Then wouldn’t it be better for us to attack first? A lot of our power would have been consumed by the battle against Germany, but if we attack them before they prepare…”
“It’s difficult now.”
Kim Min-ju interrupted Han Yu-bin and answered immediately.
“Our troops also suffered a lot of damage, although not as much as the International Association. “I don’t even have the energy to go into battle right now.”
“Then we too…”
“Is it possible?”
When Kim Min-ju asked, Han Yu-bin kept her mouth shut, which was unusual.
Even if she thought about it, it was impossible to deal with the International Association with just a few people.
You may not know this, but the only person who can deal with Secretary General Wesley is Kim Jun-woo.
But the problem is…
“The teacher is also away because he has something to prepare.”
“…ha. ”
Since returning to headquarters, there has been no contact at all about what he has been doing.
“What on earth are you preparing for?”
“As for me… the only thing they said was training.”
“training?”
Han Yubin’s eyebrows twitched at those words.
“Does that person need training…?”
“Iknow, right.”
Kim Min-ju also reacted with suspicion.
“Anyway, there’s nothing we can do until the teacher is ready.”
“Tsk… “If I stay still, I just feel more anxious.”
“Who says not?”
With those words, silence came to the office again.
The two headquarters managers raised their teacups in the silence that they could not get used to.
And then.
“Director.”
Suddenly, control team leader Pyeon Chang-hyeon came into the office.
“What happened?”
“I have just detected the appearance of a dungeon in Gangwon-do…”
He continued with difficulty.
“The detected paranormal wave has significantly exceeded the red level.”
“yes yes…?”
“what?!”
Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin’s eyes widened at that report.
But that was only for a moment, and Kim Min-ju immediately stood up and gave instructions.
“Order a blockade right now and have the operation team on standby!”
“That’s that…”
But Team Leader Pyeon still stood still and fidgeted.
After hesitating for a long time, he continued.
“I checked right away and saw that Team Leader Kim had already entered.”
“…!”
“…!”
The two people’s faces suddenly hardened.
