The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 128
Episode 128 Jin Hyo-young (3)
* * *
“I didn’t mean to kill you…”
Boom!
Unfortunately, Jin Hyo-young’s lifeline did not last long. His breath stopped before he could finish what he was trying to say.
“I didn’t know you would die in this attack.”
Kang-hoo snorted and said to the fallen Jin Hyo-young.
What she wanted to say was that she didn’t mean to kill him, but why did she kill him?
The more I think about it, the more bullshit it is.
They don’t seem to know that being kidnapped or trafficked while alive is more painful than dying.
If I had known that you were serious about thinking like that, you wouldn’t have done something like this.
I never thought he would leave a will saying that he didn’t try to kill him after trying to take him to hell.
Considering Jin Hyo-young’s useful abilities and appearance, it was a very disappointing end.
Anyway, I obtained the Dream Demon Symma Constellation that I had been interested in right before the battle.
Although the Dream Demon Constellation would not be effective immediately, there seemed to be a time when the Symma Constellation would be quite useful.
This means that you can completely neutralize mental attacks used by enemies who fear you.
Unfortunately or fortunately, she died with her entire body covered in a dark red shell.
So I was able to avoid being left ungainly naked. No, maybe this itself is naked.
Kanghu steadily removed the items from her.
I stripped down all items focusing on magical power with the intention of selling them, and picked up a useful ‘anklet’ among them.
The anklet I am currently wearing is a grade 6 anklet called ‘Wizard Hunter’ that increases anti-demon resistance by 25.
The anklet Jin Hyo-young was wearing was much better than that.
【Pearl Flower – Anklet】
【Grade: Grade 4】
【Anti Demon +50】
【Toughness +50】
There was no reason not to change.
I quite liked it.
In fact, I wonder if I have been too stingy with my investment in anklets so far.
【Shinganghu Lv.103】
【Class: Assassin】
【Unique Talent: Fairly excellent main power / Very good moving vision】
【Strength 670】 【Dexterity 270】
【Stamina 721】 【Magic power 20】
【Anti-horsepower 445】 【Toughness 59 5】
【 * Dark Age 100]
It’s been a while since I checked the stats in full screen, and I liked it overall.
The horsepower is intentionally kept below 50, so there is no problem at all.
In the case of Dark Age stats, there is an ‘*’ mark because it is a stat that does not exist for existing hunters.
The notation of hidden skills is also the same, so in the case of Hundred Day Clash and Black Moon Clash, each has a (‘*’) mark next to its name.
“At first glance… it would be 5 billion won.”
Kang-hoo estimated the value of the items he took from Jin Hyo-young.
That’s quite a bit of business considering the 12 hours invested.
and.
It was confirmed with Jin Hyo-young’s smartphone. I’m sure if there was someone who instigated it, they would have made a phone call.
So, when he looked at the call list, a name that seemed very familiar caught Kang-hu’s eye.
“You do a variety of things.”
The identity of the person whose name was listed in many recent phone records was none other than Kang Dong-hyun.
Jin Hyo-young was also a hunting dog sent by Eclipse. Or… you could also call it the world of beautiful women.
Kang-hu called.
Coincidentally, Kang Dong-hyun was also waiting, so we connected right away.
– So fast? Hyoyoung is much more resourceful than I thought?
“Just do the damn thing.”
– What the fuck?
In a split second, sharp curses were exchanged. At the same time, the expressions of both people darkened.
Kang-hoo’s expression was full of displeasure, and Kang Dong-hyun’s expression was slightly embarrassed.
Kang Dong-hyun asked back.
– Is Hyoyoung dead?
“No matter how much you treat the lives of hunting dogs like the lives of flies, I don’t think it’s too easy to throw them away.”
– You mean Hyoyoung’s ability to sleep didn’t work? Hey… that’s amazing, Shin Kang-hoo?
“If you’re praising me because you’re embarrassed about getting robbed twice, I’ll admit it.”
– okay. That’s pretty embarrassing. Is it okay to admit it?
“Why do you keep paying attention to me?”
– I’m not asking because I don’t know.
“Kang Dong-hyun. Now that things have come to this, it would be better for Eclipse to be more proactive.”
-Why did you break the non-aggression pact?
“You can forgive a crush, but you can’t forgive stalking. “I hate it even more when someone like you makes a mess of it.”
– okay. I’m not looking forward to it. From now on, you better watch out for the back of your head. I’m a bit more behind than I thought.
“Aren’t you at a disadvantage because you have a lot of pages? “I am completely alone.”
– Shin Kang-hoo. Now I will no longer be able to use the pseudonym Jeong Seon-gyu. It will help you find your lost self. How about my consideration?
“Anyway, the guy who didn’t have the guts to go out himself and only sent the lower one twice is bluffing. “Do whatever you want or not.”
– Shin Kang-hoo. be careful. The next time you meet me in person, there will be no next time.
“So, you should come yourself. “Don’t just lock yourself in a room and light a cigarette.”
– god…!
Kang Hu hung up the phone.
Actually, since I had a bad relationship with Eclipse from the beginning, I wasn’t worried that it had now become an official bad relationship.
I was fortunate to have escaped the Cheongmyeong concentration camp and lived so quietly until now.
The same goes for pseudonyms.
Even if my real name was known to the world, there wouldn’t be any problem.
If he was a hunter who was active in the past when he used his real name, he would have had a lot to hide.
For Kang-hu, the meaning of his real name was a symbol of his innocent days before being taken to the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.
In other words, even if you try to follow his real name and learn about his life back then, all you will see is the past 29 years he lived as an orphan.
I thought it would have worked out better.
At this point, I was thinking of revealing my real name to everyone around me.
If you work under your real name, things like licensing or doing official work will be processed much faster.
Of course, there is a downside to being able to carry out official monitoring by the Hunter Police Agency.
Monitoring was at the level of only looking at the results that appeared after the fact, so there wasn’t really a problem.
“….”
Kang Hu looked down expressionlessly for a long time at Jin Hyo-young’s corpse lying in an empty field.
What did she want?
Was it Kang Dong-hyun’s recognition?
Or was it to constantly confirm the superiority of one’s appearance and fill one’s self-esteem?
Jump, jump, jump.
Ganghu’s indifferent steps disappeared between the lush reeds in the field, with the early morning moon in the background.
The tightrope walk between life and death is happening not only here but everywhere.
It was a morning with nothing special about it. It was just a little noisy.
* * *
after.
Ganghu, who had already traveled to Gyeongju, stayed in a hotel and rested well.
It was evening when I decided to meet Park Dong-jae, so I still had plenty of time.
Hunter News was reporting breaking news about the explosion of Jeon Dong Pharmaceutical’s first storage warehouse.
The storage warehouse contained a variety of expensive and raw materials, so the level of security was high.
That means that a considerable amount of manpower was invested in this explosion.
The fire of the white war is well underway.
From Jang Si-hwan’s point of view in the original work, it was just a slightly noisy issue outside of Seoul.
The reality seen from the mercenary’s point of view was completely different. It was a reality so close that one could easily be caught up in a whirlpool.
“I need to make sure to farm in the dark…”
Kanghu licked his lips.
Of course, simply increasing the Dark Age stats is not the answer; you must also increase the Dark Age skills.
For this, it is essential to attack Japan, but unfortunately, it is not possible to go there right away.
However, I was able to make a plan by looking at the list of dungeons owned by the Ricou Guild in advance.
For example, you can request a list of dungeons with an undead concept.
“Is it too much to ask for observer qualifications?”
Although you do not belong to a guild, you are qualified to be treated the same as a guild member. Observer.
The treatment Kanghu received from the Spitfire Guild was this observer qualification.
If Ricou Guild puts in the effort to do that, the activities will be much easier.
It seemed like Ahn Young-ho should be utilized well. Because my uncle’s power is so strong, it’s not like there’s no way out.
“Now that I think about it… if I go to Rikou Guild, I guess I’ll also meet Takashi Akiyama.”
Suddenly a name came to mind.
Takashi Akiyama.
He is a hunter currently working as an observer in the Ricou Guild. At the same time, it is also thirteen stars.
Unlike other members who were frequently active externally, no one had seen Takashi’s face.
Even the thirteen stars had never seen him. I could barely hear the voice.
The reason was simple.
This is because it is Takashi’s alter ego who is active externally.
This was a separate concept from the art of self-immolation, and was a concept of a shared destiny between the alter ego and the original body.
However, the alter ego grows by being active outside, and the main body only ‘controls’ the alter ego at home.
And surprisingly, the control process was accomplished through a special pad designed by Takashi himself.
In other words, for Takashi, every moment of controlling his alter ego is like a game.
Not only do we share sight or senses, but we also share fate. What if your alter ego dies? The original body also dies.
“By now, they are so absorbed in the warrior concept that they are making a big fuss by covering their alter egos with colorful masks.”
I don’t know if I’ll be able to see it this time. But if I saw it, I wanted to reveal my face.
He is very good at analyzing the patterns and debuffs of the dungeon he goes to for the first time, so he was recruited directly by Jang Si-hwan in the original work.
The reason I joined the Thirteen Stars was simply because I was drawn to the fact that I could take on various challenges rather than a sense of mission.
“Sounds like fun.”
Thinking about what I would do in Japan in advance, I was excited and a little nervous at the same time.
The ecosystem there is different from Korea. Moreover, there are guilds that are hostile to Korean hunters.
Since it was a foreign country, there were definitely things to be careful about, so I planned to move cautiously.
* * *
5:30 p.m.
“came?”
It was none other than Park Dong-jae who welcomed Kang-hoo, who deliberately arrived 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.
In the message we just shared, we said we had just left Gyeongju Station, but it seems that was a lie.
“You lied.”
“I wanted to come in advance and look around the surroundings to see if there were any risk factors.”
“Why do you have to do that alone?”
“It’s a small token of gratitude for a lifesaver.”
“Anyway, I hope we can stop talking now. “When I have a lot to say, it’s a hassle to be polite.”
“All right. I’ll call you brother. “No, I’ll call you!”
“okay. Let’s go like that.”
Traffic control ended quickly.
Since Kang-hoo is older than Park Dong-jae, they naturally became older brothers.
Kanghu asked.
“What about the internal briefing?”
“I do not need. This is the dungeon that Sehyuk often went to with his older brother, Seyoung. “What about Seongyu?”
“I have also finished familiarizing myself with the materials I received in advance. Oh, and from now on, call me Ganghu.”
“ah?”
“It’s my real name. “Jeong Seon-gyu is a pseudonym.”
“ah…!”
“Even if I wanted to hide my pseudonym, an issue arose where I couldn’t.”
Kanghu chuckled and showed me a screen he had just uploaded on his smartphone.
This was the content of the new hunter to kill posted on Eclipse’s official website.
The photo was a mug shot taken just before he was imprisoned in the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.
【Shin Kang-hu】
【From Cheongmyeong concentration camp. The pseudonym found to be currently in use is ‘Jeong Seon-gyu’.
It will be continuously updated as other pseudonyms are confirmed in the future.
He has a record of killing Eclipse’s key executives, Cha So-hee and Jin Hyo-young, and has a history of infiltrating Club Hades and illegally utilizing underground dungeons.
As of today, the hunter is designated as Eclipse’s level 1 kill target and the following bounty is offered.】
【When captured alive: 20 billion won and all worn items paid.】 【
When eliminated: 5 billion won and all worn items paid.】
“ omg.”
Park Dong-jae’s mouth dropped open.
A big man was in front of me.
