The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 295

Episode 295: Infiltration (1)

* * *

After quite a long wait, I had a meal with Jeong Yu-ri.

Although the Haeyoung Guild was embroiled in various scandals, public order in Busan was maintained well.

So, anywhere in downtown Busan was as stable as downtown Seoul and was crowded with people.

In fact, it was said that quite a few ordinary people who were appalled by Seoul’s murderous prices came down to Busan.

Although the prices here are high, it is better than in Seoul, where a bowl of galbitang costs 150,000 won.

Kanghu was no exception to this feeling and thought that Busan was ‘relatively’ cheap.

While we each ordered pasta and risotto to suit our tastes and waited for our dishes to be served.

Jeong Yu-ri asked vaguely.

“Oppa, are you really busy these days?”

“It looks like he’s less busy than you.”

“Hey, I’m just stuck in the dungeon so I can’t contact you. “There are a lot of people looking for you, right?”

Jeong Yu-ri sensed that something new had happened to Kang-hu’s changed eyes.

What can I say, I could feel Kang-hoo’s unique spirit of life when something important was coming up.

It is too difficult to explain in words, and there is a special energy that Jeong Yu-ri can feel.

“How have you been?”

Kanghu slowly changed the topic.

It wouldn’t have happened by mistake, but I didn’t want to bring up the Cheongmyeong concentration camp to her.

It’s true that my thoughts were quite focused on that, but being here with her right now was also important.

So I wanted to make a clear distinction. Now is the time to ask her what she’s up to and tell her story.

“Like I said, I’ve been running around a lot of dungeons. “I recently opened up connections in the famous guild and the guru guild.”

“okay?”

“huh. The opportunity finally came. “They looked at it really favorably.”

“That’s good news.”

Ganghu nodded.

Both guilds are strict about hunters. People do not create connections just for the purpose of getting to know each other.

Usually, the hunters who worked with them were hunters who had proven their skills in some way.

Jeong Yu-ri’s skills are guaranteed by Kang-hu and her growth and actions in the original work.

Kang-hoo shook off any worries he had about Jeong Yu-ri that were in his heart. You will do well.

“Individually, we are in the process of gathering information. “I plan to properly carry out activities soon to report the corruption of the Purification Guild.”

“Failure.”

“Yes, defeat. These days, the number of influencers who are on the side of the abyss has increased considerably, right? Thanks to this, there are many channels for reporting, and I think it’s time.”

“It has increased a lot.”

“huh! A lot of actual videos are being uploaded. The Hunter human trafficking case was also proven to be true and not just a rumor, right? “Of course, the purification guild is trying to get out of the way by asking questions somehow.”

“I think more fake news will be produced than now. “I’ve already seen quite a few fabricated videos of abysmal crimes.”

“huh. I’m thinking of collecting more information to fact-check such fake news. “There is quite a network here too.”

“I guess so. “Because it’s not just people who don’t have animosity towards the Purification Guild.”

“You know it too, right? “How much I hate the Purification Guild.”

“of course.”

“That’s why I really want to hold them back. And I think the right time has come.”

I could feel a deep sense of death from Jeong Yu-ri, who spoke strongly.

It was a murderous act that came from deep within, to the point that even Kanghu was shocked.

In particular, her hatred and anger toward Chae Gwan-hyeong were so great that they were beyond imagination.

Kang-hu thought that her feelings were very natural.

A woman’s life and pure emotions were altered, tainted, and almost buried forever.

Due to the shock caused by this, Jeong Yu-ri had to escape from the world and go into hiding.

Her revenge was not a feeling that should be discouraged, but rather a feeling that needed to be properly nurtured by her side.

However, Kang-hoo pointed out only one thing that was of concern.

“It’s all good, but don’t overdo it. Seize the moment with the mindset of a wild beast. “Don’t just run blindly.”

“Yes, brother. “Thank you for the advice.”

“Yuri, don’t forget that the closer you get, the more likely the other person will recognize you.”

“That’s right. By the way… it’s hard to find a really skilled bleeding assassin these days. “I don’t think it’s at the level of a drought, it’s like total extinction.”

“They say all useful assassins have affiliations.”

“that’s right!”

“Call me next time.” “I owe a lot to Master K… I’ll step out and help him at least once.”

“I didn’t say that because I wanted to get help from you! But as for the specifications… I won’t do it? Ho Ho.”

“Please feel free to call me. I think it would be better to compare it to a one-time ticket. “I will definitely help you.”

“Yes, thank you! Oppa, I hope you always take good care of your health! Especially be careful of people targeting you! Understand?”

“Yuri, I hope you continue to grow within the same stable boundaries as you are now.”

Good words were exchanged with each other.

Every time Kang-hoo sees Jeong Yu-ri, the feeling he gets is that if he had a younger brother he could get along with, he would be exactly like this.

A younger sister who worries and takes care of her brother more than anyone else.

Although his real-life sister was an enemy, Kang-hoo’s imaginary sister was like that.

after that.

Kang-hu had many daily conversations with her and had some time to escape from his difficult life.

I had felt it before, but meeting Jeong Yu-ri was a time of ‘purification’ for Kang-hoo.

What can I say, when I looked at her, I felt like my life, which was stained with blood and darkness, was being washed away a little.

If you are a cloth stained black, Jeong Yu-ri is like white ink that infinitely neutralizes the color of the cloth.

In the end, the color of the fabric will stop changing somewhere along the gray edge.

It was clearly possible to reach the gray border, which was much brighter than the initial black.

She puts a pause in the miserable daily life and makes us smile, even if just for a moment.

Kang Hu sincerely wished Jeong Yu-ri happiness. And I always hoped she could smile like this.

That night.

Ganghu had moved to a place where he could see Cheongmyeong Mountain.

A designated point for instantaneous movement was created near the station before leaving Busan Station.

I would never do something like that, but if I failed to assassinate the camp leader Jo Hwan-seong…

I planned to deploy teleportation without regret and return to Busan Station.

A way to ensure safety regardless of the reason! It is also Kanghu’s reliable insurance.

Rumbling.

“hmm.”

It wasn’t raining, but the sky was already full of dark clouds.

Just before it rains, you can also hear the unique smell of water and the roaring noise between dark clouds.

A perfect night.

Today, with even the moonlight gone, was the best day to attempt a secret infiltration.

“….”

Even though we were still far from the Cheongmyeong camp, we could already smell the camp’s unique smell.

A smell that is difficult to describe in words.

Of course it doesn’t smell good.

Old, rotten, or bloody. It is a disgusting smell that cannot be described in one word.

‘Someone will die today again, without fail.’

From the smell, Kang-hu discerned a special smell that could only be smelled in the incinerator.

It’s a smell that only comes from burning a corpse. To be exact, the smell that comes from burning bones at the end of incineration.

Just smelling it brought back many memories from the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.

The camp classmate who was mining magic stones next to me yesterday would be discarded tomorrow as a handful of ash.

Bone dust was not stored in a separate urn, nor could it be disposed of neatly for memorial purposes.

It is sprayed here and there like an air freshener to get rid of the musty smell in the bathroom.

It was used for truly shocking purposes, such as guards making prisoners eat or chew bone powder .

The prisoners were thoroughly humiliated both in life and in death.

Crack.

Unbearable anger wells up, and that emotion is carried through the molars, creating a grinding sound.

However, paradoxically, that anger makes the head cold. The turbulent emotions calm down quickly. And the essence is visible.

‘First of all, moving to the main route cannot be safe no matter which route you choose, so dismiss it.’

Numerous detection and warning facilities are installed on the road leading to the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.

Since only vehicles that have been reported and approved in advance are allowed to enter, any detection signal outside of the authorized vehicle approach time was considered an intruder.

In other words, if Kang-hu starts moving on that empty road, an alarm will sound in the camp immediately.

Initially, a primary alarm will sound. This is because wild animals often pass by on the road.

When the first alarm sounds, the facility that detects magical power is activated immediately.

If it is a wild animal, its magic power will not be detected, so no additional alarms will sound after the first alarm.

But what if magical power is detected?

At that time, a second alarm sounds and a second alarm sounds throughout the camp.

In particular, a ‘mobile unit’ organized in preparation for riots or emergency situations within the camp is mobilized.

If this happens, the entire camp will be put on emergency standby, making infiltration a complete mystery.

Even if we succeed in infiltrating, it will be impossible to target the camp leader. All preparations have already been completed.

Ssssssut.

Ganghu started to move.

Of course, we abandoned the main road in front of us and headed in a direction away from the Cheongmyeong concentration camp.

Thanks to the night vision ability, there was no problem identifying the surrounding terrain and moving around even when it was pitch dark.

With stealth and martial arts skills installed, Ganghu diligently moved and moved again.

Just in case, I sent a corrupted tree in advance.

It was set up to move quietly and quickly return to report if it found another hunter.

‘Going into tunnel 18 is the fastest and least cumbersome process.’

The route Kang Hu thought of was to use a mine shaft inside the camp connected to a cave in Mt. Cheongmyeong.

Shaft 18.

Since the mine was closed two years ago, there are almost no magic stones to mine, and the remaining magic stones are of low quality and have been abandoned.

After it was closed, it became a place to dump prisoners’ bodies or bury hunters who died shortly after arriving at the camp.

The reason why Kang-hoo remembered Tunnel 18 so accurately was simple.

This was because it was a route designed in the original work as a way to get Shin Kang-hu to escape early.

However, given the setup of Shin Kang-hu, who was captured at the time, there were concerns that if the escape was successful, the power balance would collapse.

In other words, it was expected that Shin Kang-hoo would grow so rapidly that the main character, Jang Si-hwan, could not handle it, so the writing plan was abandoned.

So I couldn’t incorporate it into the original content, but the memory of it remained vivid in my mind.

‘I never thought that the option that was intended to be used as an escape route in the original would be used as an invasion route. Life is….’

You can’t know what’s ahead.

Kang-hu caught his breath and sank into the darkness again.

A day at the Cheongmyeong concentration camp seemed to have gone on as peacefully as any other day on the outside.

but.

A black shadow that should never enter this camp was rapidly approaching.
