The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 332

333. Side Story – Episode 11

“…Who are you?”

When I went to the office early in the morning, a man I had never seen was standing next to me.

When I asked him closely, he nodded and answered.

“This is Deputy Park Chan-young, a member of the Operation Fact-finding Committee investigation team. “I will be taking charge of Hunter for the time being on behalf of Ha Eun-hye.”

“instead?”

When I asked him again, he spoke in a dry voice.

“I took sick leave. “It probably won’t come out for a day or two.”

“…okay.”

“In fact, new employees are rarely assigned to be in charge of investigation subjects, but since we are short on personnel, we had no choice but to do so. Employee Eun-hye Ha is a friend with a lot of passion, so it must have been very inconvenient, and I apologize belatedly for that.”

“….”

After listening to his polite explanation, I looked at him for a moment.

And then.

“no.”

I answered calmly and sat down.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like his first impression.

Rather, it feels very neat and tidy.

Even though she was the subject of an investigation, the fact that she did not spare any apology or consideration gave the impression that she was much more of a veteran than Ha Eun-hye.

but.

‘He’s a boring guy…’

That was the first impression I had.

It wasn’t long before I was shocked by that sentiment myself.

‘….’

Yes, actually, this is normal.

No matter how much you belong to a committee, it’s strange that you keep nagging me about everything.

But…

‘I’m crazy…’

I can’t believe I ended up like this after only seeing it for a few days.

“Anyway, please take care of me for the time being.”

The man who introduced himself as Assistant Manager Park Chan-young greeted me once more, but I pretended not to hear and sat down.

No, I actually couldn’t hear it well because of my own shock.

I quietly started working with a half-fazed expression on my face.

Assistant Manager Park Chan-young also didn’t say a word to me after his final greeting.

If you don’t pay attention, you’ll even forget that it’s next to you.

I didn’t say anything and didn’t tackle anything.

Whether I was doing paperwork, writing a report, or having a meeting… he just followed me around and looked at me in silence.

It was the same even now that the subjugation was underway.

“Then… take care.”

After lunch, I finished preparing everything in front of the first dungeon of the day.

Deputy Park Chan-young stood at the entrance to the dungeon and spoke to me.

“Isn’t Assistant Manager Park going with you?”

“yes?”

When I asked with a puzzled expression, he looked surprised and asked back.

“Surely, Employee Ha Eun-hye followed you into the dungeon?”

“Isn’t it original?”

“Haa…”

He put his head on his chin with a very embarrassed expression.

“No matter how much it is a surveillance station subject to investigation, it does not go into subjugation. Even though they are an investigation team, they are just ordinary people. It’s a place where something might happen, so why did you go there…”

Anyway, since I had no fear, the sound was heard quietly.

After hearing that, I checked again.

“Anyway, you’re saying that you’re not going to pursue subjugation in the first place, right?”

“Ah yes… that’s the principle. “When employee Ha Eun-hye returns, I will notify her clearly.”

“I understand.”

I nodded indifferently and turned my back. And then he entered the dungeon with his teammates.

As soon as I entered the dungeon, I stopped for a moment.

“…?”

“Why are you doing this?”

At the same time, question marks are pouring in from the team members.

But I saved my answer.

No matter how much you think about it, it’s strange.

As soon as he boasted that he would find evidence, he immediately took sick leave.

I knew that he was never saying empty words due to his personality, but… ‘

I can’t believe he would take sick leave and move…’

That guy is the most unrivaled asshole I’ve ever seen.

He has a past that cannot be compared to others, and perhaps because of that, he does not hesitate to speak and act fearlessly.

That guy could do something even more incredible than simply spying on someone.

‘I guess I’m really thinking about doing it right…’

I closed my mouth for a moment and thought about it.

Honestly, I couldn’t help but worry.

It’s all speculation, but the only higher-ups involved in this incident are at least the head of the operations headquarters and the chairman of the truth-finding committee.

The two people with the most power within the association, excluding the board of directors.

Digging into this case meant confronting those two people head-on.

That’s not an easy task even for me, who has some influence on the operations team, and there’s no way a 3-month-old rookie could handle it… ‘

…It’s done.’

If it starts moving anyway, there is no way to stop it now.

Well, he’s not stupid enough to stretch his legs without knowing where to lie down, so he’ll take care of his neck on his own.

If it becomes really dangerous, just go and help.

“let’s go.”

After organizing my thoughts, I walked into the dungeon again.

***

“I’m in now.”

Operations Center Control Team Corridor.

Ha Eun-hye, who had set foot there, contacted Eom Kyung-hoon by cell phone.

“Uh, we’re in the middle of an operation right now, so almost everyone is gathered in the situation room. “Once you get there, you won’t be noticed.”

“Okay.”

“If you go straight from the hallway, you’ll find the data storage room. “The server room is inside, so we have to go into the data storage room first.”

“It’s locked?”

“…Isn’t it obvious?”

A tone as if it were absurd.

But even for a moment.

“Wait a minute.”

Eom Kyung-hoon said and hung up the phone.

As Ha Eun-hye was waiting in front of the archive room door, Eom Kyung-hoon appeared in person.

Eom Gyeong-hoon took out his employee ID card from his pocket and said.

“The moment this is taken, a record of entry and exit remains. “I thought of an excuse, but if you do something wrong, I’ll be the same.”

“….”

I don’t know if it’s a word of encouragement or a warning.

Ha Eun-hye looked at him with a shocked expression for a moment.

“It’s a bit funny to ask that now, but…”

I asked him with a very serious expression.

“Why are you helping me like this?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? “I asked you to help me first.”

“No, I didn’t, but… honestly, it was my job, so there was no need to jump into it. “If you get caught, not only me but you too will be in danger… Even if it goes well, you could get a whistleblower ticket and be transferred to a local area.”

“Oh my…”

Eom Gyeong-hoon scratched his head with his employee ID card.

The look on his face asked why he came all the way here to ask such a question.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

“When we were in college, we were either first or second year… there was a time when corruption broke out in the student council. At that time, you carried a gun and robbed him. “Do you remember?”

“of course. “I almost got expelled because of that.”

“haha. “It turned out to be bigger than I thought.”

Eom Kyung-hoon glanced at her and continued speaking.

“Honestly, you were kind of cool back then.”

“…What is happening all of a sudden?”

He closed his mouth for a moment and hesitated to say his next words.

But soon he smiled.

“Well, that’s the reason anyway.”

He ended his sentence quite blandly, as if he had cut off what he was trying to say.

“what. “Nothing was explained?”

“Oh, just take note. Anyway, we don’t have time, so go in quickly. “You have to get out of the server room before the operation is over.”

“…okay.”

Eom Kyung-hoon handed her an employee ID card, and Ha Eun-hye accepted it and turned her back with a somewhat shocked look on her face.

Soon, I put my employee ID card on the security device.

Beep-beep.

When the thick iron door opened, I entered the data storage room.

A space with nothing special.

I began to carefully look around the place lined with all kinds of documents and electronic devices of unknown purpose.

And before long, I found another door in the corner.

Main server room.

No access except for those involved.

Level 1 classified area.

A door plastered with all kinds of scary phrases.

Ha Eun-hye of the world also couldn’t help but feel nervous.

But even for a moment.

She opened the door with the key she received from Eom Kyeong-hoon.

dark room.

It was so cold that I felt a chill.

The sound of machines running continuously could be heard from all directions.

In the middle of it all, I saw a small monitor.

“I’m in the server room now.”

“okay! “I’ll send you the code.”

“But… it’s a top-secret area, so security is the key?”

“Anyway, access security is only done once in the storage room. And the main server room is connection security. “There’s no need to put this and that up.”

“…I see.”

“I will call you a code, so concentrate.”

Eom Kyung-hoon quickly recited a total of 13 codes and Ha Eun-hye entered them into the monitor.

At the same time, the BIOS window appeared.

“Now press F1 and then Control B…”

Ha Eun-hye followed his words and typed something for a while.

“It floated!”

Records of all dungeons that have appeared in Seoul, South Korea over the past 30 years appeared before my eyes.

“okay. Now plug in the USB.”

“….”

It was already in the final stage.

Ha Eun-hye took a deep breath and plugged the USB she had brought into the device.

“You remember the date and time of the dungeon three months ago, right?”

“Yes.”

“You have to check it accurately and bring it. “If you bring it wrong, it’s all sandfish.”

Ha Eun-hye didn’t answer and began to focus on the monitor in front of her.

Tens of thousands of pieces of information dating back 30 years.

Among the eye-popping records, a date caught Ha Eun-hye’s eye.

‘….’

Ha Eun-hye clicked on it without realizing it, as if she was possessed by something.

***

「Director.」

Operation Headquarters Office.

A phone call to Director Seo Min-cheol.

It was none other than Oh Hyeong-tae, head of the security team.

“what?”

“It’s… nothing else…”

Team leader Oh trailed off.

“Did you just connect to the main server?”

“…What?”

Director Seo Min-cheol’s eyebrows twitched.

“No, a connection record suddenly appeared here… I contacted you to check if the head of the department was connected.” “

… I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

“Oh, is that so? Yes, sometimes an error pops up. “I understand.”

Team Leader Oh said casually, but Director Seo Min-cheol had a somewhat ominous expression.

“By any chance… can you check whether any files on the server have been tampered with?”

“Ah yes. “It might take a while, but… would you like me to check it for you?”

“Please.”

“All right. Then, I will check and get back to you.”

Director Seo Min-cheol ended the call with that.

Then, he put his hands together and started shaking his legs.

‘Suddenly the server connection record…’

Well, if errors occur frequently, there is nothing to be worried about.

In this situation, there is little chance that someone will suddenly touch the server with good timing.

But…

‘I just don’t know….’

At that time, I was biting my nails and waiting for a call.

Ringing -.

Before long, I received a call from Team Leader Oh again.

“Have you checked?”

“yes yes. What is it

. “Speak up.”

Oh, I hope the team leader pauses for a moment.

“There is a record that a file from three months ago was just moved.”

“…What?”

At the same time, Director Seo Min-cheol’s eyes widened.

But more shocking news remained.

“But… there is one more.”

“There is one more…?”

“Yes, yes. “It’s information from 15 years ago…”

At that moment, his breath caught in his throat.

“This is information about a green-level dungeon that began operation at 14:20 on September 12th 15 years ago.”

“….”

“Oh, wait a minute. “Isn’t this the dungeon where the incident occurred back then?”

No more words came to Director Seo Min-cheol’s ears.

Let’s talk like that.

“I heard that Hagi-sik Hunter killed a fellow hunter…”

Team Leader Oh confirmed the kill once more.

Soon, Director Seo Min-cheol’s hands began to tremble.
