The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 214

Episode 214: Preparation for entry (2)

* * *

Afternoon.

Thanks to K’s consideration, Kang-hoo decided to rest at the guest villa in Yuri Land before leaving.

This is because the rain that had just started was scheduled to stop at night.

In the first place, there is no particular difference in going to the dangerous ground zero when the weather is good…

but it had just started raining and the rain was quite heavy, so I wanted to avoid it.

I re-planned my route based on the map I received from K.

“Rescue Mad Solakium here. “It would be best to go a little further and find the brood queen here.”

Although the shortest route is drawn in a pleasant way, optimistic predictions are often wrong.

So, I included a picture of a few wasted attempts in the movement line. Because this is more realistic.

“I think it will take us quite a bit to the north. “They said it would be a no-communication zone from here on out, so I guess we can’t avoid it.”

It is calculated that it will likely enter areas where communication is not possible.

When I calculated it realistically, I felt at ease. I got to step foot on North Korean soil a lot.

While I was taking a break, I could see a lot of trucks coming and going outside the window.

They were all trucks with the Seal of the Purification Guild stamped on them.

The Seal of the Purification Guild was shaped like a blazing fire and had a rather cool appearance.

I added a seal shape as an illustration in the original work, and I remember the response from readers was good.

[Unwavering faith and unbreakable tenacity.]

In addition, a slogan engraved like a seal can be seen.

In the original, it was a somewhat offensive comment, but when I saw it from Shin Kang-hoo’s perspective, I felt disgusted.

For whom on earth do the Hunters of the Purification Guild sacrifice themselves in their false beliefs and enforced tenacity?

The shadows cast by Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong appear secretly and deeply.

Even if you discover strange or problematic elements in the guild, your love and pride for the guild make you ignore the uncomfortable truth.

Mechanisms of denying reality, such as our guild can’t be like that and the Master can’t be like that.

Surprisingly, the Jeonghwa Guild is like a kind of pseudo-religion that is deeply intoxicated by the character Jang Si-hwan.

All processes are structured that way.

Although the hunters in the company chew Chae Kwan-hyung like gum, they never do that to Jang Si-hwan. I completely believe it.

‘K also said that he doesn’t 100% trust the Purification Guild. ‘Is there nothing we can do in the face of capitalism?’

Seeing the Junghwa Guild’s trucks coming and going endlessly, Kang-hu remembered K’s words and smiled.

Of course, I didn’t doubt K’s intentions.

Because the more you trade with each other, the more margin you leave. It is the purification guild that spends the money.

at that time.

A phone call came in.

It was Jeong Yu-ri’s call.

“uh.”

– brother! where are you? I didn’t even know you contacted me after being in the dungeon for three days! how have you been doing?

“Glass Land.”

– omg? Why is my brother here? Did you think I was here?

“That can’t be possible.”

Kang-hoo, who immediately criticized Jeong Yu-ri’s cute illusion, chewed his lips and nodded.

I could have just come to see you, but I couldn’t do that, so I just punched the wall.

However, Jeong Yu-ri seemed to be certain that she was immune to the attack and accepted it more cheerfully.

– Actually, I knew you would be here, so I scheduled the dungeon nearby!

“That’s a bit much.”

– Anyway, it’s not fun! where are you? I’m going to see my brother. If you come and don’t meet me, you’ll be disappointed!

“Here is a guest villa.”

– Oh, you’re there? Are you bored? I don’t have a brother-in-law, I don’t have a sister, Bo-hye, so I don’t have a friend to talk to.

“To put it bluntly, the two people I just mentioned are not people you can talk to. “It would be more awkward if there was one.”

– Hehe, that’s right. Anyway, wait! I already wanted to rest a bit, so we should rest there together!

“okay. See you later.”

Since the villa was very large, there was no need to misunderstand Jeong Yu-ri’s words about resting ‘together’.

Around evening.

I met Yuri Jeong.

As soon as she saw Kang-hoo, Jeong Yu-ri repeatedly waved her hand and greeted him from afar, making her look like a child.

Even if it was a greeting filled with joy, it was especially true for Kang-hoo, who only waved his hand a few more times.

Jeong Yu-ri, who came running to him a month later, was about to give him a hug out of joy, but stopped when Kang-hoo was making a sad expression.

And then he muttered as if he was deliberately trying to make me listen.

“Anyway, I can’t even pretend to be happy. “It’s embarrassing for someone who came running from far away.”

“You know.”

“What do you know? joy.”

“Anyway, your skin has burned quite a bit. “I can see the copper color.”

“right? “The dungeon I went to this time was a dungeon where it was daylight all day, and the sunlight was no joke, so I got completely burned!”

“You look healthy.”

“Because I’m with my brother, I compare myself even more. Wow… Is this the feeling of milk chocolate or just chocolate?”

Jeong Yu-ri laughed as she compared her bronzed skin with Kang-hu’s white skin.

Meanwhile, Kang-hu was looking at one of the constellations that had been added to Jeong Yu-ri while he was not there.

【Hwashin (禍神)】

【Resentment and curses against the target of revenge constantly stimulate the unconsciousness of the target of revenge.

Neurological and psychological changes may occur, but the degree depends on the mental strength of the target of revenge.】

‘Even if it is not expressed outwardly, the deep-rooted resentment toward Chae Gwan-hyeong has now summoned the constellation.’

If you think about Jeong Yu-ri, who is always smiling and energetic, you can see her as a constellation with the opposite temperament.

Aside from the constellation scan information, there may be other factors that could be a plus for Jeong Yu-ri.

If we only look at the confirmed constellation information, it seemed like the final step of revenge against Chae Gwan-hyeong. It is a curse itself.

Since Kang Hu knew Jeong Yu-ri’s painful past better than anyone else, this constellation contract was not strange.

I just hope that the constellation’s poisonous feelings will not be deeply colored by her purity, which I hope will remain untainted.

Jeong Yu-ri changed the topic.

“brother! Do you have a moment? “I have something I want to ask you, and I think you know.”

“What?”

“As I’ve been going through the dungeon lately, I’ve noticed something frustrating. “Can you take a look at me at the training ground?”

“However much.”

The two headed to the practice training ground right next to the villa.

* * *

It was a training ground that didn’t seem to be visited often, but the inside was neat and tidy.

There was no dust anywhere, and the interior was bright and much better than the dull atmosphere of Ground Zero.

Jeong Yuri took a seat in the center of the training ground and continued speaking.

“As you know, my ability base is magic, right? “The ability to open space passages is mixed with attack magic, and it even turns into smoke.”

“I know.”

Ganghu nodded.

Her ability to open space passages is similar to Kenji, and her main characteristic is her ability to turn into black smoke.

“I feel a lot of frustration these days while opening space passages. When the battle progresses urgently, there are many times when you have to constantly open passages…”

Paa! Papat!

Yuri Jeong gave a demonstration.

As I kept opening and closing the passage over and over again, at some point I started having trouble breathing.

she added.

“I feel like I’m half a beat late. “The implementation of the passage was later than I expected, so it seems like my battle chemistry is also messed up.”

“Keep using it. Until you get tired. “I’ll watch quietly and tell you if I notice anything, so keep going.”

Kang Hu crossed his arms and carefully observed Jeong Yu-ri’s use of space.

I don’t know if it’s Takashi’s influence or if it’s just my own temperament from the beginning.

If I concentrated, I could clearly see patterns or habits that were not clearly visible.

Is it possible to break down all movements and changes into very short time units and judge them?

Looking at the use of Jeong Yu-ri’s abilities.

I recalled what happened with Kenji, and also recalled the content covered in the original.

Then problems began to appear. At the same time, a solution also came to mind.

“for a moment.”

“huh? why?”

“I don’t think I need to do any more.”

“Can you see it already?”

“What you see is what you see. I think I know why the problem occurred. “I can give you a solution.”

“…really?”

Jeong Yu-ri looked embarrassed.

Confiding my concerns to Kang-hu was just an expression of frustration and not a request for a solution.

However, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when the story of the solution came out of Kang-hoo’s mouth. Is it visible in Kang-hu’s eyes?

“But it’s a bit awkward to say it out loud.”

“Would you like me to give you a kiss?”

“Are you saying this thinking that a trivial kiss is worth something?”

“Oppa, you hit the solar plexus too hard! it hurts!”

“That’s it. listen.”

What I just said was a joke.

Yuri Jeong is a partner I will continue to work with in the future. If there is something that could be of help to her, it is right to help her.

There was also a wish that he had better space utilization skills than Kenji. She is a very talented woman.

Kanghu continued.

“When you open up space. Instead of thinking about the entrance and exit, do the opposite.”

“You mean to think about the way out first and then draw the way in?”

“uh. “Because the process of opening the passage is so intertwined in a cause-and-effect relationship, hesitation arises here.”

“Does this mean we will continue to worry about safety?”

“The key to the ability to open space is boldness. The more you hesitate, the later it becomes. “Being cautious is not the answer.”

“…ah!”

Jeong Yu-ri exclaimed as if she had realized something.

You can give as much advice as you want, but what you understand after listening is entirely up to you.

As Jeong Yu-ri is talented, it seemed like giving her a little clue was quite stimulating.

Is that why?

She began to open spaces one after another again. And unlike just before, the connection continued without interruption.

I was able to escape from the ‘nightmare’ of half a beat.

As soon as the feedback was given, there was an immediate change, so fast that even Kang-hoo, who gave the advice, was taken aback.

“and…! After all, it’s my brother. Oppa is really amazing! Are you saying you saw the problem right from the beginning? really?”

Side! side! side!

“….”

Before Kang-hoo could defend himself(?), Jeong Yu-ri’s cheek kiss continued to explode onto Kang-hoo’s cold cheek.

“ah.”

“hmm.”

“Uh… if this feels good, it’s what I always told my grandparents…”

Jeong Yu-ri must have felt Kang-hoo’s lukewarm reaction and gaze as she scratched the back of her head.

“Tsk.”

Kanghu burst out laughing.

The picture of the child expressing great joy and embarrassment like a child alone was cute.

Even if you beat him to death, these are actions that Ganghu cannot do. It’s also a feeling that can’t even be imitated.

“Thank you so much, brother. How can I see this? I got goosebumps for a moment. “My brother is an assassin.”

“There’s no law that tells you to only watch the assassin’s movements.”

“But wasn’t this advice something that could only be given if you had some in-depth knowledge of other professions?”

“It’s a happy ending, so it’s okay.”

“I think it was a really good idea to ask my brother. “Not a single person told me a contrarian idea.”

“If you ever get stuck, get into the habit of turning around and thinking. “It’s better than I thought.”

Although Jeong and Yeok and Jeong seem different, they have an organic relationship.

It was an approach that was widely used in the original work, so I thought similarly this time and it worked.

‘In the end, it’s my world.’

Kang-hu once again realized what kind of world he was living in now.

A world designed faithfully according to the wishes of the creator, the ‘original author’.

So, it is possible to draw the desired conclusion in such a sharp way.

On the contrary, it was also a world where we inevitably had to face a dark future that we did not want to face.

so that.

I wanted to twist it.

If everything goes ‘naturally’, all that remains at the end is ‘despair’ without dreams or hope.

Only by twisting the law can despair turn into hope.

Lee Hyun-seok, who should have died a long time ago, is alive and harassing the Jeonghwa guild.

According to the original work, Park Dong-jae, who would have been suffering in prison, grows explosively based on his potential.
