The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 154

Episode 154: Stimulus (1)

* * *

I parted ways with K, deciding to contact them again when I was able to obtain a new colorless talisman.

Now, the ‘release hypothesis’ was the hypothesis with the highest probability.

So, Kanghu and K put off the idea of coming up with another hypothesis and trying it out.

Before leaving, Kang-hoo added a request to K to investigate slowly and not in a hurry.

This is because it is not a problem that can be solved by urging. Since this was a problem in the realm of waiting, I did not want to put any more pressure on K than was necessary.

Kang-hoo moved to the place where he was supposed to meet Park Dong-jae.

The entrance to the dungeon where Park Dong-jae had borrowed the license from a famous guild was in a completely different place than expected.

It was a warehouse located in the basement of a six-story one-room building located near Cheongju Station.

It was a garbage dump full of all kinds of junk that other people would have no interest in.

Of course, I heard that it was quite intentional that the underground warehouse was built like this.

Even if someone were to look inside the warehouse, they would not think of coming inside.

It is also ridiculous to station personnel on a regular basis just because there is a dungeon entrance in a place like this.

So it seemed like they installed CCTV in detail and camouflaged the inside and outside.

Park Dong-jae, who had come ahead of time and was waiting for Kang-hoo, greeted Kang-hoo by raising his arms as soon as he met him.

“brother! “I missed you!”

“Just raise your hands. “Don’t grab each dog to run.”

“Hyung… It’s not like I like some kind of guy, but I wonder if that’s the case?”

“It’s because I don’t think there’s anything strange about it because the world is so scary.”

“Anyway, he’s a person whose reactions aren’t very interesting.”

“I hear things like that a lot. So, you too, adapt yourself.”

“Sehyuk hyung seems to accept it well, but it’s a shame!”

“I’m Shin Kang-hu.”

If the original author’s personality had been overwritten as is, he would definitely have been rich in reactions.

However, now that Shin Kang-hoo’s personality has become so intense, the expression of strong emotions feels unfamiliar.

Is it a feeling that is so cringy that I can’t stand it?

Even though he had emotions stirring deep inside his heart, he found it awkward to show them to the outside world.

“The buff shuttle is really hard. I’m completely divided. “Even my throat was sore.”

As Park Dong-jae said, his throat was extremely hoarse.

Perhaps it was because I was shouting out the list of remaining buff time to my teammates that there weren’t any left.

Park Dong-jae added.

“There is no game more comfortable than playing with my brother. “I thought about you a lot.”

“It will be a lot easier if you do it with me.”

“that’s right! So, when the famous guild said they would be considerate of the dungeon. “I called my brother right away.”

“What about Jeon Se-hyuk or Se-young?”

“Ah, these are not colleagues who live together every day, and in times like this, it’s individual play. “We’re not always together.”

Naturally, Kang-hoo, who was scanning Park Dong-jae’s constellation information, slightly raised an eyebrow.

Park Dong-jae, who sensed a strange change in expression, carefully asked back.

“Wow, no way… You didn’t tell these two people, right?”

It was Park Dong-jae who guessed the wrong street address.

Kanghu was able to confirm one constellation added to Park Dong-jae.

It certainly wasn’t there when we met before, but it seems like a new contract has been added as the main constellation this time.

We’ve already added one more constellation.

I already knew that he had great potential, but his growth curve was steeper than I thought.

Compared to Ganghu, his relative evaluation is lower, but from the perspective of a general hunter, his growth was rapid.

【Holy Worshiper】

【Actively helps recover 0.5 stamina per second to all targets affected by the buff.】 【

If the buff is applied to an ally with a debuff, the effect of the debuff is reduced by 10%.】 ‘

Look at this guy. I’m also stepping into the boundaries of being a healer. Does the buffer even support stamina?’

This is interesting news.

Constellations like Eucharistic Worshipers would usually be attached to healer-type hunters.

It was attached to Park Dong-jae, who was the buffer. At that level, it would not be strange for a constellation to be attached to a skilled healer.

Of course, the Constellation does not approach only by looking at the class of the contractor.

The overall ability to utilize the scalability potential of the contractor’s capabilities is carefully reviewed.

The Eucharistic worshiper seemed to have jumped on board after seeing Park Dong-jae’s potential. Before the horse started running in earnest.

‘If it were based on the original story, Park Dong-jae would have been locked in the basement right now. But the future has changed.’

Unlike the original, Park Dong-jae, who came into the world early, is quickly showing off his potential.

It could be said that it was a butterfly effect launched by Kang-hoo himself.

Since Park Dong-jae believed in him and followed him, it was a win-win in many ways.

“Why should I tell you? “I am a person who rarely opens my mouth unless I am a party to it.”

“Well… I think that’s the case. “I feel like I won’t tell my secret even if my parents come and ask.”

“You saw it correctly.”

“really! If you want, you can try to figure out Cha So-hyuk’s movements. “Do you want me to help you?”

It’s a welcome suggestion.

I am not indebted to him as a nuisance, but am closer to receiving goodwill without compensation.

Park Dong-jae’s actions seemed to be done willingly, as he owed his life to him.

“Then let me ask you a favor about that. Anyway, the brother and sister pair are polar opposites. “If you hadn’t chased me in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Honestly, I don’t understand.”

“Don’t even think about trying to understand. My head just hurts. “Why are you trying to make me understand?”

“Because you’re trying to bully your brother. “That’s because it’s annoying.”

“If they block you, just make them get out of the way, and if they try to kill you, just kill them. “The response is simple.”

“….”

Park Dong-jae was speechless for a moment and stared at Kang-hoo as he calmly presented a solution.

I definitely think he is a cold person without blood or tears.

For some reason, I felt like if I became an enemy, I could attack them mercilessly at any time.

This is something I have felt since the first time we met.

Even though Ganghu was of a lower level than himself, he didn’t think that was the case at all. He seemed like a senior by a long time.

It feels like there is an aura that radiates from just being still.

Park Dong-jae, who was not intimidated even in front of Jeon Se-hyuk, became especially cautious in his behavior in front of Kang-hoo.

“Let’s do one more final briefing just to organize it. “I came here after fully understanding the contents.”

“huh. Then shall we go in first? “Because we’re not going straight into the dungeon anyway.”

“okay. Since this is an open space, it would be nice to have a secret passageway.”

“Okay, let’s go!”

* * *

During the final briefing before entering the dungeon.

Naturally, a story about Park Dong-jae’s ‘Black Network’ also came up.

We are now in a world of information warfare.

However, as so many forces appear and the information they handle and derive is divided.

A phenomenon has occurred where information is abundant but real information is poor.

As all kinds of fake information become rampant, trash information that is far from real information has exploded.

This was something that Kang-hu felt directly.

For example, 70% of the good deeds people knew about the Jeonghwa Guild were fabricated good deeds.

They are not criminal organizations, but they disguise themselves as criminal organizations and subdue them and demand justice.

Within the Purification Guild, the cause of death of promising candidates who died for unknown reasons was often overwritten as a righteous death.

The same was true of the article about the death of a hunter that Kang-hoo saw on his smartphone right before meeting Park Dong-jae.

Shin Hee-seong, one of the promising players of the Jeonghwa Guild, has died. He was one of the promising assassins.

Something was strange.

The cause of death was said to be a fall caused by accidentally falling off a cliff while raiding a dungeon.

In other words, he lost his footing and fell to his death.

However, due to the nature of the class, assassins are very sensitive to changes in surrounding terrain.

Therefore, there was no way it would have been forced to maneuver in a place with a cliff. It makes no sense not to recognize it.

‘These bastards?’

Suddenly a strange thought occurred to me.

I know there is a hunter who recently acquired a hidden skill.

Did they identify the job as an assassin and then kill the likely candidate?

It was quite possible.

Because in the thirteen stars, there is a hunter who is obsessed with other people’s hidden skills. This is Vincent Maier.

In the original work, he was portrayed as a hunter with devilish talents and was the one with the lowest role.

Now, the identity of the character Jang Si-hwan has been completely overturned due to the ending of the minor character.

Vincent Meyer There was nothing strange about the fact that he committed murder targeting a hidden skill.

Jang Si-hwan may know but turn a blind eye to it, or he may not know at all. There are many directions of possibility.

anyway.

The black network was the best route to remove such fake information and obtain real information.

Park Dong-jae said that investments that have been made for a long time are finally paying off.

In addition, he took the initiative and promised that he would not spare any effort in sharing information with Kang-hoo if necessary.

From Kang-hoo’s perspective, who was only ‘receiving’ the benefits, it was a very helpful support that he was thankful for.

Park Dong-jae’s Black Network.

Ganghu believed that it was the best card that could fill the gap in information warfare that he lacked.

For one reason or another, the reason why Park Dong-jae can never be let go has become clear.

In order to properly capture him, the appeal in this dungeon attack seemed to be more important.

* * *

After the briefing and conversation.

Kang Hu, who passed through the passage and entered the dungeon in earnest, immediately finished the preliminary work.

【Selfish Addiction】

【Buff Skill Designation: Running Instinct】

This was a task that utilized the buff enhancement skill previously obtained from Roche.

The buff designated for 300% reinforcement is Park Dong-jae’s acceleration buff skill, ‘Running Instinct’.

Because the work was done immediately, I thought there would be no changes to my body.

“hmm?”

By now, Park Dong-jae had applied all the buffs that could be applied. It happened in the blink of an eye.

It was also impossible if applying buffs without the buff time being empty was not a part of daily life.

This is because in peacetime, not in a combat situation, there are many buffers that save buff skills in order to save mana.

“Buff setting complete.”

“It’s fast.”

“I’m Park Dong-jae, bro.”

“good.”

Kanghu raised his thumb.

Although I was excited, I was also worried at the same time.

Since Selfish Indulgence has been added to the acceleration buff, the efficiency will skyrocket to more than three times the usual rate.

There is a prerequisite that must be met in order to feel that it is fast and to see its effects.

The point is that your body and eye senses must be clearly adapted to the acceleration state you are in.

What if you can’t create movements and variables that can maximize the effect with a much more accelerated body?

Just make your body faster.

All you can do is wander around here and there and do foolish things.

Rather, you may make a fatal mistake due to errors in vision and senses mixed with excessive acceleration.

As a test, Kanghu decided to lightly launch his body just once by accelerating and jumping.

This is the beginning of basic movement.

Next moment.

“Ugh… Ugh!”

An unexpected groan burst from Kang-hu’s mouth as he lifted his heel and tried to slightly lift his body.

The body, caught in the acceleration faster than expected, was bouncing like a spring.

The acceleration was so crazy that my face, which was properly compressed by the air, was distorted like a crushed steamed bun.

Selfish addiction!

The effect was clear.
