The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 334

335. Side Story – Episode 13

Uhm Kyung-hoon’s studio, late at night.

A group of gangsters and Operation Headquarters Chief Seo Min-cheol stormed into the place.

Eom Gyeong-hoon continued to blink, unable to keep his mouth shut, as if he could not understand the situation that was unfolding before his eyes.

And then.

“Kyunghoon.”

Director Seo Min-cheol lowered his posture and was at eye level with him.

Since joining the company, Eom Kyung-hoon has never met him face-to-face.

Nevertheless, Director Seo Min-cheol continued speaking, calling him by his name in a friendly manner.

“Honestly, it’s not that difficult to find out who you let into the storage room. If we conduct a thorough investigation of everyone around you, we can catch you within 3 days. But… I’m in a bit of a hurry to do that, so I’m trying to get help.”

“….”

“So please cooperate. “I promise, if we end here, I can pretend nothing happened.”

Eom Kyung-hoon swallowed his saliva.

Then, Director Seo Min-cheol continued speaking while poking Eom Kyeong-hoon’s chest with his finger.

“You guys stole a file that only I should know about. Thanks to you, I also became dangerous. To be honest… I’m in the same situation as you right now.”

“Even if you say that, I really don’t know…”

“Hey!”

At that moment, Director Seo Min-cheol’s eyes changed completely.

“Let’s understand the situation. “Do you know what you just did?”

Director Seo Min-cheol’s voice was increasingly trembling, as if his patience had reached its limit.

“I’m really saying this for you, but you’d better tell me now.”

“…yes?”

“Later, if that person starts moving on his own… then I can’t do anything about it.”

Director Seo Min-cheol said with a light sigh.

“If I don’t say it here, then it won’t be at the level of a finger. “The body could be dumped in the sea off Incheon, and the head could be thrown in the sea off the East Sea.”

“….”

“To be honest… I just need to find that file. I have no intention of hurting anyone and I don’t want to. But not that person. “I’m in a position where I can’t keep that file or anyone who knows about the file alive.”

Director Seo Min-cheol’s eyes also trembled slightly as he said that.

“I don’t know what he will do if he finds out that it has fallen into someone else’s hands. So… we have to end it here, for the sake of you and your friends.”

“….”

Eom Kyung-hoon lowered his head at those words.

What should I do and should I really believe it?

But if something goes wrong…

Eom Kyung-hoon couldn’t make a decision easily and his back started to tremble.

However, Director Seo Min-cheol did not urge him and waited for a while for him to make his choice.

Before long, Eom Kyung-hoon raised his head again.

“Really… is everyone safe?”

“I promise.”

In response to his question, Director Seo Min-cheol also nodded in an unusually serious voice.

OK.

“Grace…”

“What?”

Eom Kyung-hoon opened his mouth quietly.

“It belongs to Ha Eun-hye, a member of the committee’s investigation team.”

***

“….”

A dark room with no lights on.

Ha Eun-hye displayed the file she brought home on the monitor.

Then he checked the contents with a nervous expression.

Original file from 3 months ago of a blue level dungeon where dungeon intervention occurred.

Ha Eun-hye read through all 5 pages of information, including the dungeon overview, features, precautions, and special notes.

And there… there was not a single line written that mentioned the possibility of dungeon intervention.

‘I knew it would be like this…’

she muttered.

This made it clear.

Someone intentionally set Hunter Kim Jun-woo in a trap.

Of course, we don’t know the reason, but the important thing is that the committee knows all about it and is turning a blind eye to it.

‘This is definitely not something that can be done with just one or two people involved….’ This

was done by high-ranking people at least the team leader level.

Although she expected it to some extent, when she actually faced it, she also started to get nervous.

Now that the facts have been confirmed, the key is how to handle this. If you explode it carelessly, you will only get a backlash.

‘Well, first of all…’

It would be important to keep the materials together.

With that in mind, Ha Eun-hye made a copy of the file and put it on her personal USB.

And right after that.

‘….’

Her eyes were fixed on another file.

Additional files she brought.

A real-time subjugation monitoring file for a green-grade dungeon that started 15 years ago at 14:20 on September 12.

If I remember correctly, this was the last operation my father participated in.

The incident in which he was sent to the prosecution along with his dishonorable retirement after being falsely accused of killing a colleague during a subjugation.

The file containing all the situations from that time is in front of Ha Eun-hye.

Ha Eun-hye hesitated to click.

It was because I was not ready to accept the truth yet.

Honestly, if I said that I never once doubted my father even while he was arrested and imprisoned in the detention center… that would be a lie.

Didn’t the association, committee, and even the police conduct a thorough investigation?

And if the result was my father, it was actually decided whose words I should believe.

Nevertheless, Ha Eun-hye continued to hypnotize herself.

There’s no way my dad was the culprit.

It is clear that he was framed just like his father.

I spent 15 years like that.

However, if my faith of 15 years was completely denied after checking this file… I really didn’t think I could hold on at that time.

But the bigger pain than that is….

If my father is not really the culprit, the moment I miss this opportunity, I will forever lose the opportunity to relieve him of his injustice.

This is a person who hanged himself complaining of injustice.

15 years later, I may still be wandering through purgatory with my eyes open.

And if you turn your back on the truth now… won’t you have the honor of meeting your father again later?

“….”

Ha Eun-hye took a deep breath.

At the same time, my eyes tightened.

And then soon.

Click―.

I clicked on the file and immediately the events of that day started playing on the monitor.

As the truth of that day was revealed little by little, Ha Eun-hye’s body began to tremble.

Finally, the moment she faced the truth with her own eyes.

thud-.

My legs lost their strength and I sat down on the floor.

But she just quietly covered her mouth without even thinking about getting up.

My mind became increasingly white.

I couldn’t think and couldn’t see anything.

At that time, I was shaking with a devastated face and unable to focus my eyes on one place.

Ringing -.

Her cell phone rang.

It was a call from Eom Kyung-hoon.

When Ha Eun-hye saw the three letters of the name, she barely came to her senses and immediately answered the phone.

“Gyeonghoon. “I checked the file at home right now, and it looks like the police…”

“Eun-hye. “Did you take any other files from the server…?”

“…Huh?”

Ha Eun-hye’s eyebrows twitched.

Retrieving the file from 15 years ago was a purely personal and impulsive act. Of course, I haven’t told him yet…

How on earth does he know?

“Director Seo Min-cheol came to my house. But there is something unusual about the situation. “Director Seo Min-cheol is going there right now, so just hand over the file you have.”

“What…?”

Ha Eun-hye’s eyes widened at those words.

“Are you… are you betraying me now…?”

“It’s not like that! The situation is more serious than we thought! I wasn’t allowed to touch the file you brought! “If you don’t pass now, it will become even more dangerous!”

“Hey, you idiot! “Do you believe that?!”

“What are you going to do if you don’t believe me? “They say you could really die!”

“….”

You could really die.

Ha Eun-hye did not answer those words.

Then Eom Gyeong-hoon opened his mouth again, as if an ominous premonition had passed through him.

“Hey, it’s Eunhye. Please answer me! Hey!!」

“…Hang up.”

However, Ha Eun-hye did not seem to have any intention of listening to the story any further.

She immediately hung up and copied the files from 15 years ago to a USB.

Then I roughly packed my things and ran out of the house.

It was already well past midnight.

Ha Eun-hye escaped the dark one-room village and ran blindly to the main road.

Eventually, she found taxis lined up in front of the station, and without even thinking, she got into the one in front.

“Please go to the nearest police station!”

“yes…?”

“Police station! “Hurry!!”

In response to the puzzled taxi driver’s question, Ha Eun-hye raised her voice and shouted.

The taxi then slowly entered the road.

A street in the middle of Seoul.

The gorgeous cityscape passed quickly outside the window.

Ha Eun-hye looked at the scene with a complicated expression and tightly held the USB in her hand.

Soon she closed her eyes.

A face as if prepared for something.

That moment when I was just quietly breathing and trying to calm my trembling body.

bang-!!!

A car on the other side crossed the center line and hit the taxi Ha Eun-hye was riding head-on.

Her body suddenly floated up, and soon an enormous shock was felt throughout her body.

Before she even felt pain, she lost consciousness.

Bang bang bang!!

After that, the taxi rolled several times on the road and stopped only after it was crushed beyond recognition.

Vehicle completely overturned.

Ha Eun-hye was stuck inside upside down, her mind becoming further and further away, and her vision was becoming blurry.

What came into her blurred vision was a man getting out of the car opposite her and approaching her.

‘Move…’

Ha Eun-hye muttered, but she could only stare quietly at the man approaching her.

Finally, the man who was right in front of me opened the taxi door.

“Aaaahhh!”

Perhaps instinctively sensing that her life was in danger, she barely came to her senses and jumped out of the taxi, screaming.

The man seemed unable to react to her sudden action, and Ha Eun-hye took advantage of the opportunity and started running without looking back.

In the middle of Seoul.

Even after midnight, the city center is bright with neon lights and signboards.

And countless people walking up and down the streets.

But the waking city could not protect her.

Ha Eun-hye continued to run like crazy in complete indifference.

I had no idea where I was going or where I should go.

I just ran to find a place where I could live and protect myself.

but.

“Huh, huh, huh…”

After running for a while, what appeared in front of her was a dead end alley.

Ha Eun-hye was the first to look behind her.

Fortunately, there was no sign of the man chasing him.

But I couldn’t feel at ease yet.

So she took out her cell phone to report it to the police.

At the same time, I checked a notification floating on my phone screen.

1 missed call.

It was a call from none other than Hunter Kim Jun-woo.

Ha Eun-hye, who saw his name, seemed to be possessed by something and with trembling hands called him instead of the police.

“Oh, uh… are you taking a break? I already tried to leave a message. “It’s not anything else….”

“….”

His voice is finally heard.

Ha Eun-hye seemed to be completely relaxed for a moment and could not open her mouth.

“Oh, were you sleeping by any chance? I’m sorry. “I’ll leave a message first, so when you go to work tomorrow…”

“Huh, Hunter.”

Ha Eun-hye struggled to speak with a weak throat.

“help.”

He soon spit out that one word.

I waited for the answer to be cut off for a moment.

Eventually, Kim Jun-woo urgently asked her various questions, but she could no longer answer.

“Whew… you run really fast.”

That was because the man who had been chasing him suddenly appeared before his eyes.

“No, he thought it was me and ran away like he was dying. “It could be someone trying to help.”

“….”

The man joked, but Ha Eun-hye couldn’t answer.

From the moment I made eye contact with him, my survival instinct went wild.

“…You don’t believe me. Do you have a good feeling?”

Then the man smiled and said.

Eventually, Ha Eun-hye fell down on the spot as if her already battered body had reached its limit.

At the same time, the man began to slowly approach Ha Eun-hye.

The man was a businessman, celebrity, and politician, and everyone who was at least slightly upset in Korea came to visit him at least once.

The most famous troubleshooter in the shadows.

At the same time, he is currently the No. 1 freelance hunter in Korea.

His name is Yang Min-ho.

It was a man called a janitor.
