The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 213
Chapter 213 Preparation for Entry (1)
“I have a prior engagement with Master K, so can I contact you after I finish everything?”
– Oh, pre-appointment? don’t worry. I also have work to do. There is a production request from Japan.
“In Japan?”
– Even if you’re curious, don’t ask. Because I won’t tell you.
Since she is active in many fields, it would not be surprising if she received requests from Japan.
I was curious as to who entrusted the request, but I didn’t think I would find out even if I asked.
“Then I will contact you as soon as this work is finished. “You’re still in the country, right?”
– That’s right.
“All right.”
The phone call with Kim Shin-ryeong has ended.
As soon as I return to Korea, it feels like all the backlogged work comes rushing in at once.
It is better to be busy than to have fun, but it is true that the schedule is hectic.
As time goes by, the number of people looking for it and the number of people who need to find it is increasing. This must be a connection.
When he lived the life of the original author, Kang Hu was an introverted person who rarely left the studio.
At best, all you have to do is go out to meet with the management you signed with.
And with the coronavirus spreading around the world, there was no longer any reason to go out.
Although such closedness was present in Shin Kang-hoo’s life, he was consciously trying to change it.
It’s true that you have to struggle to do everything on your own, but you can’t do everything in the world on your own.
And if there is a useful tool available, it is right to actively use it.
To achieve this, appropriate exchange and dialogue are essential. It would be right to bring out the extroversion that was not there and at least pretend it exists.

Every time I see the name, ‘Yuri Land’ feels strangely different.
When Kang-hu arrived at Master K’s hideout and got out of the safety limousine, K personally welcomed Kang-hu.
Usually, either Hyeong-seo Moon or Bo-hye Hwang would appear, but both of them seemed to be absent.
When Kang-hoo tilted his head slightly, K seemed to have read his thoughts and said with a hearty laugh.
“I don’t know who is the master and who is the counselor. “Both of them weren’t there so I came out.”
“What happened?”
“Hyung-seo is still training in North Korea to level up… and Bo-hye followed along.”
“Is this still a good relationship?”
“I promised. “I will give you at least three months of vacation a year so you can use it for yourself.”
“If welfare is at this level, I think we need to think about whether it is at the level of a state-of-the-art system.”
“You’re both hunters. I’m a hunter too. If you neglect growth, you have no choice but to fall behind. “Let’s walk together.”
K held out his hand.
Perhaps because Kang-hoo is as young as Jeong Yu-ri, he extended his hand affectionately as if he were seeing a grandson.
But Kang-hu was blankly watching K’s hand as if time had stopped for a moment.
It is awkward. I have never experienced walking while holding someone’s hand tightly.
Both as the original author and as Shin Kang-hoo. Warmth was always something that was far from me.
Of course, I didn’t want to become a strong man so much that I ignored K’s warm heart and kindness.
Wow.
I held K’s hand.
You can feel the rough texture of calluses along the texture of your palm. It feels like a brick on a completely different level from Kanghu’s calluses.
Everything in life is buried in that touch. A passion for life that forced me to always have dirt on my hands.
K said.
“Are your hands pretty?”
“The part where you hold the dagger has a lot of calluses, but the part where you don’t is soft.”
“I guess there hasn’t been much blood involved yet. Think good. “Rough hands don’t come back.”
K’s face seemed to contain his own memories as he looked somewhere in the sky and spoke ruminatively.
There must be a story behind why you brought it up. It wouldn’t be surprising if he went through all the prenatal hardships.
He continued speaking.
“First, I need to talk about the amulet. There’s a setback. It’s not easy to get a colorless talisman. Even the spirit said there was no supply.”
“it’s okay. There is no need to feel burdened. “If I had thought it would be resolved in a short period of time, I would not have even started this matter.”
Kang Hu shook his head.
Congenital mana hypersensitivity is a deep-rooted disease that Ganghu has a long history as a hunter.
We lived together for so many years that I never thought it would magically disappear overnight.
Now, I have become quite accustomed to the pain and have become adept at walking the tightrope that crosses boundaries.
Moreover, the existence of congenital mana hypersensitivity itself clearly created tension for Kang-hoo.
Time pressure.
If you look at it negatively, you may end up lamenting endlessly about why you got this penalty.
If you look at it positively, you can avoid wasting time no matter what battle you fight.
You will somehow research and find ways to maximize the efficiency of your time and skills.
In other words, I couldn’t loosen up.
absence? It was an impossible feeling for Kang-hu. This is because time is not on Ganghu’s side in battle.
“I’m trying my best, so I’d appreciate it if you could wait.”
“I am just grateful that you think about it with me like this. “I’m serious.”
Ganghu bowed his head.
K is truly worried about his mana hypersensitivity. I could fully feel that feeling.
It is not easy to think of other people’s problems as if they were your own and feel sorry for them. Because people are selfish.
So I was even grateful that K felt sorry.
“Anyway. I also saw the news from Japan. “I touched a crazy guy. Are you okay?”
“Who are you talking about?”
It only takes one or two crazy people.
Since there is more than one person with blood on Kang-hu’s hands, he asks who it is.
There’s Cha So-hyuk, Toushi guild members, Yuuji, and Kenji.
When I think about it again, I did deal with a lot of guys. Thanks to this, I benefited greatly.
“Ishihara Yuuji. “He is a wanted criminal treated as a level 1 criminal by the Korea, China, and Japan Public Security Agency.”
“I wanted to give people the awareness that if they can stab someone else’s body, they can stab a knife in their own body, too.”
“haha. He’s famous for his tame hit-and-run combat, but did he land a good blow? I was really surprised.”
“There were times when the situation worked out well and I got a kick out of it. “I don’t know what the direct outcome is.”
“You were seriously injured, right? “I heard you’re the first person to hurt Yuuji this badly in recent years.”
“If I were still breathing right now, I wouldn’t have received normal treatment. “I was caught defenseless.”
Ganghu was certain that Yuuji was alive. This is because the constellation was not hijacked.
If Yuuji had passed away even late, the entire Constellation contract would have been transferred to Kanghu.
But that wasn’t the case.
That means it would have been treated in a different way.
A wanted criminal wouldn’t have been able to show his face and go to the hospital or receive treatment from a healer like Ahn Young-ho.
There is only one conclusion left.
A hunter who uses black magic. That too must have been helped by those who stepped into the gray border or black area.
then.
When you face Yuuji again later, you will have your own strategy.
A way to attack the ‘weaknesses’ that a hunter who exposes himself to a warlock will inevitably have.
It was in Kanghu’s mind.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“yes. “I can’t say it’s easy, but I have drawn a rough outline of how to deal with it.”
“As expected, you have a plan. “Cluck.”
K smiled and patted Kanghu on the shoulder. It was encouragement and belief that he would do well.

After a while.
In K’s personal studio, Kanghu could see a huge map.
It was a map printed in detail to the north, centered on the current Yuri Land.
The map was drawn in the form of a 3D drawing rather than a satellite image, and the reason was simple.
This is because if you take a picture of North Korea with a satellite, everything comes out blurry. It was impossible to identify.
Even when flying a drone, it often crashes due to unknown interference and distortion.
As a result, even in the modernized 21st century, we are faced with a map that is half-drawn by hand.
K first pointed to the place marked with an X on the map. I can guess what it means.
“This is a place where Mad Solarchium has already been harvested. Even if you go again, it will be in vain.”
“All nearby locations are marked with an X.”
“yes. I marked it because I didn’t want to go to the same place again. And the next expected point is here.”
“It’s definitely North Korea.”
“that’s right. It’s above the midline of Ground Zero, so it’s actually North Korea. “This is the safest route.”
K’s fingers guided us through a safe route, drawing quite a few curves.
Whether you look at it on a map or by moving your fingers, it doesn’t seem like a route you can travel comfortably.
K added a request.
“be careful. Because in North Korea, there is a monster called the Brood Queen. Have you ever heard of it?”
“Yes, there is.”
“Then it will be easier to talk about. The brood queen isn’t the only thing that’s scary. “The hybrids controlled by the pack queen are also scary.”
“I plan to avoid combat as much as possible.”
Although I said that to K, I was actually planning on finding the brood queen somehow.
Only then can you steal the queen’s heart and unseal the random skill book.
You may end up with a skill book that is worthless despite the sacrifice you made.
But there are also cases where the opposite is true. Since he wouldn’t know unless he opened it, Kang-hu planned to take a gamble.
“If it feels a little awkward, it might be okay to wait. “You just have to order it as soon as your brother-in-law or bo-hye comes.”
“no. “I can’t afford that.”
Kang Hu shook his head.
I wanted to go to North Korea at least once.
A place where rice cakes were excitedly solved in the original work! How are the countless unconsciousness actually realized in North Korea?
“Take the map. “It’s a copy anyway, so there’s no need to feel burdened.”
“thank you.”
“By the way, there is one more thing you should keep in mind…”
“Yes, please tell me.”
“There are many unauthorized facilities in North Korea. “It just happens because there is no one to acknowledge and allow it in the first place.”
“I heard that a lot of criminals are also moving in. “Of course survival is unknown.”
“huh. The problem is that there are more unauthorized Kashmar Guild facilities than you might think.”
“Is this a transit point?”
“that’s right. “In the past, there was a route where the hunter hostages who were kidnapped and trafficked by the Osho mercenary group stopped by.”
“Even though the Osho mercenaries have disappeared, human trafficking itself has not been eradicated…”
“That’s right. It is still being used as a root. “Such a facility may be closer than you think.”
“You’re saying there could be a fight.”
“okay. “If you don’t count it, you’ll be embarrassed later.”
Kanghu bit his lip slightly at K’s words.
I had no intention of making a fuss with the Casmar Guild first. Because North Korea is not even Kanghu’s home ground.
The problem is them.
The hunters of the Casmar Guild see others as potential ‘products’ unless they are members of the same organization.
What if you run into them in North Korea, where there is no security or anything to see around you?
It was obvious how Ganghu would look in those guys’ eyes. Human trafficking and slavery are confirmed.
