The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 296

Episode 296: Infiltration (2)

“Still?”

“What do you mean still?”

“The bastard who cut off my finger at the main gate lab. “You still haven’t found it?”

“You kept talking about it. “There is no source of information on the Jeongmun Pharmaceutical side, and we cannot find out about the mercenary group through a superficial investigation.”

“Fuck then, how long do I have to do nothing but shadow box in the air?”

“wait. There weren’t many skills he used at the time. “It’s difficult to pinpoint one hunter.”

“Oh, I’m so frustrated I’m dying!”

“It’s a shame I lost my finger and had to have reconstructive surgery. But now, if you put it down a bit…”

“Damn! My parents didn’t even hit me once. “Do you think I’ll leave alone the bastard who cut off my finger?”

“…I don’t know. Then, Jeungseonrak, find out for yourself. “It’s impossible based on my information.”

Around that time.

Jeung Seon-rak and Ye Jin-bin of the Shinsu Guild were once again exchanging a topic that had now become an old topic.

That was an incident in which Jeung Seon Rak lost his finger to Kang Hu when he attacked Jeongmun Research Institute No. 1.

After that, Jeung Seon-rak tried to find the ‘guy’ who cut off his finger using on-site footage.

It was difficult to understand because the information was so limited.

The world is large and there are many skills, isn’t it? It was impossible to find a hunter with just a few skills.

The only person who accepted Jeung Seon-rak’s whims, which bordered on hysteria, was his friend Ye Jin-bin.

Of course, the reason Jeung Seon-rak was able to act hysterical was also because he was an executive of the Shinsu Guild.

Ye Jinbin changed the topic.

“I need to get ready to go to Korea.”

“Who are you?”

“Me too. “You too.”

“What happened again?”

“An unofficial request came from the Purification Guild. Ask me to attack the abyss. “It’s probably because of the Battle of Dongducheon.”

“What the hell did those X gods do to not be able to deal with a single local warlord and instead open their hands to the outside world?”

“…I guess so.”

“Where do you belong?”

“mercenary.”

“You don’t want to come with the name of the Divine Beast Guild?”

“I guess they don’t want to be criticized for bringing foreign powers into the domestic fight. Jeungseonrak, you know it too. “How much does Jang Si-hwan care about his external image?”

“know. There is no such hypocrite, not even the most hypocrite. You disgusting bastard. “If it weren’t for the purification guild, I would have killed him and eaten him right away.”

“Anyway, despite what I said…”

Ye Jin-bin shook her head at Jeung Seon-rak’s increasingly vulgar vocabulary.

Of course, it wasn’t wrong.

The previous attack on the first research center at the main gate was actually at the instigation of the Purification Guild.

Although the justification was different externally, the attack was clearly instigated by the Purification Guild.

Astute hunters would have already noticed at that time.

The reason why the purification guild moved lukewarmly even though the multinational mercenaries were targeting the main gate laboratory.

But only a few hunters know the truth.

Most people were criticizing the thoroughly manipulated and distorted evil practices of Jeongmun Pharmaceutical.

The purification guild’s propaganda campaign is top-notch.

If it was so bad, wouldn’t it be so bad that China’s Shintu Shinsu guild directly dispatched executives to watch and learn?

Some guild members even worked in the ‘Propaganda Department’ belonging to the Jeonghwa Guild. It is to build a career.

“anyway. So, you just have to join as a mercenary and attack the abyss, right? “Because I don’t belong, I don’t care what you do.”

“yes.”

“I’ve been itching lately, but it’s good. “I thought seeing some blood would help me feel better.”

“I’m going?”

“Of course I should go. “Is there any reason I wouldn’t go to a fight where I can legally see blood and excitement?”

Jeungseonrak chuckled.

It made me wonder if this was the person who had just exploded with anger at the sight of his fingers not moving as he wanted.

Unlike Jeungseonrak, who is happy just being able to fight.

Ye Jin-bin, who was able to observe the situation more calmly, was not entirely appalled by this proposal.

The reason was that the Purification Guild was struggling so hard.

Ye Jinbin felt that the purification guild’s strength was not as strong as before.

Previously, when Ye Jinbin had the opportunity to see Jang Si-hwan in person, he hinted at something.

The abyss will soon collapse on itself.

Since Jang Si-hwan is someone who doesn’t say nonsense, I thought he would have a clever idea that would suit him well.

However, rather than collapsing, the abyss that appears now appears to be gathering strength.

‘The answer may not be for the parent guild, the Shintu guild, or our Shinsu guild, to support the Purification guild.’

Ye Jinbin’s eyes wavered.

Hwamu and Ilbo (花無十日紅).

Perhaps that word might be a good fit for the Purification Guild. No one can know the future.

* * *

Around that time.

‘As expected, the stench is no joke.’

Ganghu succeeded in entering the camp area by entering tunnel 18 through the cave.

Since gangs are usually viewed as being within the camp’s sphere of influence, Kang-hoo made that judgment as well.

There was a strong smell of rotting corpses.

Even without looking, there were unrecognizable bodies dumped here and there in the tunnel.

There were only a few bodies with at least a little bit of flesh attached, and most of the bodies had already turned white.

The structure of the camp was as Ganghu knew. It has been faithfully implemented in its original form.

For that reason, there was no problem entering the 18th shaft and no alarm was triggered.

However, there was a problem when going from the 18th tunnel to the place where the detention center, Gansu-dong, and incineration building were located.

First, you have to go out of the tunnel, but there is a detection facility that you must pass through in the process.

Even though it was a closed tunnel, all basic detection facilities were installed.

I am running a magic stone mine that is quite profitable, but if the management facilities are poor, it would be incoherent.

We did not do anything lax, such as removing existing facilities or not installing facilities in areas that needed management.

Of course, if there is one pitfall, it is that there are many cases of malfunction due to laziness in maintenance.

【The Cheongmyeong camp, where budget evasion is rampant, has been stingy with maintenance and repairs since its inception.

Although a management budget was regularly allocated from Eclipse every month, it was never fully implemented.

Only 10% of the cost was spent on maintenance and repairs of administrative facilities, most of which was in the hands of camp commanders and senior guards.

The Eclipse members working in the Cheongmyeong camp were all part of a corrupt community.】

This is a story that also appeared in the original work.

This trend would not have suddenly changed.

Ganghu would have been the first and last case of an inmate escaping from the camp.

The camp’s security facilities are not being strengthened with that much fuss. Because it costs more than expected.

So how do you strengthen the border? The method is simple.

As an example, several inmates are falsely accused and killed. Instilling fear in prisoners.

It’s a great way to break the will to escape while being very cheap.

In all likelihood, this method was used in the Cheongmyeong concentration camp. In other words, there are still many gaps.

‘It’s a magic-sensing security facility, so even if I try to hide, I’m bound to get caught eventually.’

First of all, you have no choice but to pass through the border section by using magical power in some way.

Whether you jump or switch positions while using Shadow Walk, magic power is ultimately utilized.

Then, the security facility will detect the magic wave and immediately sound the alarm. It’s not a good option.

However, if you approach it from a psychological perspective, there is a way to use the same situation to your advantage.

Next moment.

【Shadow Walk】

Ganghu used the Shadow Walk skill and made the shadow reach the detection area of the border facility.

Beep-beep-beep-.

Immediately afterwards, an alarm sound was heard.

【Stealth】

From then on, Ganghu went into hiding and hid himself as much as possible in the darkness where the light could not reach.

The darkness will hide you once, but you have secured insurance through hiding.

Then I held my breath and waited for the guard who heard the alarm to come this way. This is the first plan.

Some time has passed.

Perhaps because the alarm sound was not as loud as expected, the outside of the tunnel did not seem bustling.

I wondered if the working conditions were so bad that none of the guards in charge came.

There was a noise accompanied by the sound of slippers being dragged. It seemed like a guard had just arrived in the mine shaft.

“I heard this happens all the time… What do I do if I post a repair request? “X Mirror without even giving approval.”

There was deep dissatisfaction in the guard’s voice as he continued to grumble.

The smell of alcohol filled the air along with a loud burp. So much so that Kanghu’s sensitive sense of smell can sense it.

Even though he complains, he knows very well that the liquor he put in his mouth today is the director’s ‘consideration’.

In the end, acknowledging the reality, the jailer also seemed to be looking for a way to quickly resolve the situation.

“What if the alarm went off in a closed tunnel…”

Sigh.

Even though he was sure it was a malfunction, the guard came all the way into the tunnel as if he was wondering if there was a possibility.

Although Kang-hu, who was in hiding, was about 5 meters away, the guard did not notice his presence at all.

Kang Hu even thought about quickly killing the guard if he thought his identity would be revealed.

However, looking at the level of the guards, it was unfortunate. This guard, who did not have a Constellation contract, would never be able to detect his presence.

“Aww the smell. Just reset and go. I’m going to skip all the snacks I just ate. Fuck it. “Wooow.”

Soon the guard started to gag and turned around.

It was because of the smell of corpses mixed with the wind blowing from inside tunnel 18. It was an unbearable stench.

Click!

Crash. Clap! Weeeeeee!

‘it’s okay.’

Ganghu continued to deploy to Muyeong and immediately followed behind the guard.

The reset the jailer just chose is literally to restart the security facilities.

If that happens, there will be a gap in which the security facility cannot function properly for about 10 seconds. Mana detection becomes impossible.

“….”

Ganghu, who had completely hidden his presence, followed behind the guard, but the guard could not even guess.

He must have gotten quite drunk, so he was whistling as he headed towards Gansu-dong.

Less evil! Weeeeeee!

Soon after, the reset guard facility was restarted, but Kang-hoo had already come out of the tunnel.

Ganghu quietly followed the guard but did not try to kill him.

It wasn’t because of clumsy mercy.

This is because the choice to kill him is the least strategically valuable option.

No matter how lax your guard is, you will think it strange if a fellow guard who went to the mine doesn’t come back.

For Kang-hu, whose target from the beginning was the camp leader Jo Hwan-seong, these small children were prey not worth killing.

Right then.

Weeeeeee. Weeing.

An infrared CCTV camera installed not far away moved toward the guard and Kang-hu.

Just because you are in a state of hiding does not mean you can hide your body heat.

Once you entered the camera’s shooting area, you had no choice but to be exposed in a hidden state.
