Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 8 Superlative Crystal Moss (1)

Hyunmoo’s memory faded for a moment at her face he had not seen in so long, but she was quickly recognizable. Yumin’s face was full of surprise.

“What the hell are you doing there?”

Where should I start? Hyunmoo wanted to pour everything out right away from start to finish. But before Hyunmoo opened his mouth, Yumin added a question.

“No, how the hell can you be there?”

“Yes?”

Hyunmoo lowered his head. Come to think of it, it was strange that Yu-min showed up at his place with good timing.

Hyunmoo suddenly looked around again. It was then that a familiar landscape caught my eye. He was standing at the entrance to the industrial wastewater treatment plant. He didn’t recognize it right away, because it was an angle he had never come down to.

“Oh, it was a place where you shouldn’t play in the water.”

Hyunmoo walked up the slope carelessly. As soon as he jumped up the cement canal with a slope of 70 degrees, Yu-min hesitated and backed away.

‘Oh.’

If the crystal moss residue flowing from the satin seeps into the skin, people who are not capable of it cause mana poisoning.

It was a symptom leading to death by paralysis of at least four limbs or, in severe cases, paralysis of the entire body, including organs.

Hyunmoo was wallowing and even drinking at the entrance to the apocalypse, where such residues were pouring out.

“The hell… are you okay?”

“It feels good to wash after a long time.”

Hyunmoo couldn’t stop laughing. Yu-min looked at Hyunmoo with a complicated expression. Hyunmoo’s form was not a word. From drowning in bloody rags in the sewer running toxic.

It would be right for anyone to avoid it. But instead of avoiding Yu-Min, he took off the jacket he was wearing and handed it over to Hyunmoo.

“Let’s change seats for now.”

***

Hyunmoo thought that Yu-min was being kind to him, but it turned out to be some sort of quarantine measure.

In the eyes of Yu-Min, who majored in mana science, Hyunmoo seemed to be in a state of biochemical contamination.

She dabbed in her rain and stubbornly wrapped Hyunmoo in her raincoat, then took her to her own bathroom and shoved it into her house. Then he handed me a detergent with all kinds of foreign languages ​​written on it.

“It’s a mana decontaminant. Wash it clean and come out.”

“Why on earth do ordinary people have such things?”

“Mr. Hyunmoo is a job that touches crystal moss residues, but don’t you have any of these?”

She seems to have been elated when her field of specialization came out. He wasn’t wrong, so Hyunmoo didn’t vomit any more. And the moment she turned on the shower, the weak complaints in her head were completely gone.

‘Ah.’

It seemed like it would melt as it was after washing with hot water. Hyunmoo sobbed and squeezed out the shampoo.

The shampoo smelled of Yumin. Hyunmoo was momentarily embarrassed, but still, she smelled and thought it would be better than wandering around a girl’s house.I wanted to be forever under the hot shower, but at the same time I wondered what had happened.

“Hey, what day is it today?”

“Yeah? It’s September 11th.”

When was that? Hyunmoo tried to recall the date when he was informed of his father’s death that he had gone to hell. And Hyunmoo was a bit perplexed.

“Did we meet yesterday?”

The answer came a little late. in a voice full of doubt.

“…The day before yesterday. Didn’t Hyunmoo even show up yesterday?

Hyunmoo paused.

‘It’s only been two days?’

He spent at least ten days in Hell, even if all the time he survived. If you think that a day has passed every time you resurrect, it’s about a month.

It feels like a hundred years or so.

But Yumin was saying that it had only been two days.

Come to think of it, the first place he used his hearthstone was his gosiwon. The place he used for hell was somewhere in downtown Seoul, but he arrived at a drainage canal in an industrial complex far away from his house.

‘Why is there such a difference?’

Hyunmoo could not understand this time and location difference. But he thought he was lucky. It would have been difficult if it had risen every few years or had fallen to a place like the sea.

“By the way, what the hell was Hyunmoo doing there? That… like a bandit.”

He seemed to be trying to politely say he was crazy. Hyunmoo laughed in dismay. How much do I have to tell you to believe it?

“I’ve been to Hell for a bit.”

“Yes?”

Yumin turned his head as if he was joking. Then Hyunmoo opened the bathroom door and came out. Hyunmoo covered his lower body with a towel, but his upper body was exposed. Yumin froze as Hyunmoo made eye contact, but he didn’t take his eyes off him.

“Mom, you’re in good shape.”

are you in good shape? Hyunmoo looked down at his body with his puzzled face. He was definitely a little skinny before, but now he’s pretty muscular.

Not only that, as his body changed, he seemed to have grown a little bit taller, perhaps because even the skeleton that had been twisted had found its place.

‘Is this because I became a capable person?’

Looking back, he seemed to have heard that none of the capable people were obese or underweight.

Did you say that the ability values ​​engraved in his body are forcibly corrected? Hyunmoo was surprised that something he had only heard of had happened without even knowing it. Hyunmoo was also curious about the change in his body, but Yu-min was looking intently at it. It made Hyunmoo a little embarrassed.

“Hey, looking at it too much, it’s a little odd.”

“Ah, ah! I, am I okay?!”

“No, that’s not what you’re talking about.”

Besides, for something so casual, the bright red face looked like it was about to burst like a ripe tomato. Yumin turned his head as if he had just come to his senses.

Although Hyunmoo was invited to someone else’s house, he had no choice but to see where he had taken off his clothes.

“My clothes? I left them here.”

Yumin turned his head and quickly pointed to one side. It was next to the trash can. Hyunmoo’s clothes were sealed in a bag with a biohazard mark. It was a natural treatment for clothes contaminated with crystal moss residue.

“If it’s normal, I would have to take Hyunmoo to the hospital, but I brought him here because he has a strong attitude and looks healthy. If he is a talented person, he doesn’t have to worry about mana contamination. But, Hyunmoo, you were a talented person? ”

“Ah, it’s only recently that I became a capable person.”

It’s been less than two days here. As if surprised by Hyunmoo’s answer, Yu-min quickly turned his head again.

Then he looked at Hyunmoo’s body and stiffened again, then turned his head again, and looked again as if he had another question to ask. As I watched, the head of the fan seemed to turn.

“Hey, it’s good to ask something, but I’m a little cold. I think it’s a bit embarrassing for each other to stay like this all the time.”

“Ah, ah, ah! That, I mean, umm! You can wear mine! It’s in a big size!”

“No, but some underwear.”

“Underwear! I’ll buy you!”

Yu-min quickly passed Hyunmoo and ran outside. When Hyunmoo was left alone at the woman’s house, something complicated came into his mind.

‘Let’s see if we have something to wear in our inventory.’

Hyunmoo opened his inventory and checked the items he had. There were a lot of things that could help in catching monsters, but there were no clothes to wear normally. If even one of them was taken out, it was enough to make Yu-min suspicious of their intentions. Then Hyunmoo found a strange object at the bottom of his inventory.

[Gold Box: A box obtained as a quest reward.]

You got it as a quest reward? Hyunmoo was puzzled and reached for his box. At that moment, the box clicked open, and ten silver cards appeared in front of my eyes. Among them, only one card was shining golden. As soon as Hyunmoo’s gaze fell on the gold card, the narrator’s tone resounded.

[The reward increases under the influence of the title ‘SSS-Class Luck’.]

A few cards that used to be silver suddenly burned and started to turn to gold. Anyone could see that the gold cards were a jackpot reward.

Dozens of cards soon began to burn one by one, becoming ashes and disappearing. As if spinning a roulette wheel, the golden cards vibrated as if they were barely disappearing from among the burning cards.

A few golden cards were also engulfed in flames and disappeared. Hyunmoo clenched his teeth in regret. Eventually, most of the cards turned to ashes and flew away, leaving only one card left.

A card that shines in golden light.

[Legendary Skill: Battle Helper has been acquired.]

Hyunmoo clenched his fists. He was confused at the same time.

‘Legend? Legendary-level skill?’

Most of the abilities have no skills at all, or have normal-grade skills. If you have a rare level skill, you are treated as a group leader or a special hunter.

And then there is the legendary level skill, and it is known that there are only 7 people in the world who possess this level of skill.

However, that number had just increased to eight.

***

At a convenience store, buying men’s underwear and receiving the curious gaze of a part-timer, Yu-min realized what she was doing.

‘Crazy, I’m crazy!’You brought an adult man who had been playing with water in a drain with poisonous substances to his house, washed him, and even bought him underwear.

what the heck does this mean

In fact, it was not strange that he reported it to the police on the spot.

But before that, I remembered Hyunmoo, who spoke first to Yu-min, who was helpless near the drain in the industrial complex;

Of course, it was a paid relationship.

‘It would be okay to show kindness like this. It will be fine. It’s within reasonable limits.’

Yumin struggled to read herself.

However, as soon as he opened the front door of his house, Yu-min had to reconsider his judgment.

“… Mr. Hyunmoo? What are you doing?”

“Ah.”

Hyunmoo, who was waving his fist in the air, stopped quickly. The wind blew the towel that was tied around his waist. But fortunately, the towel stopped as if caught in a narrow position. Hyunmoo quickly grabbed the towel.

“Sorry. There are mosquitoes.”

Yu-min couldn’t even hear Hyunmoo’s words. It was a very brief moment, but only the scene where the towel was falling came to mind.

Of course, there are ways to hang towels without using two hands.

It’s the only way men can do it.

But without aiming, is it possible in everyday situations? Is that possible for an Asian size?’

‘… … No, it will not be.’

Yu-min exclaimed that he had seen something wrong and deceived himself once again.

Hyunmoo was given underwear and a T-shirt from Yu-min and changed in the bathroom. Hyunmoo also came with small sweatpants.

‘The t-shirt and underwear fit perfectly.’

Hyunmoo was thrilled with how closely Yu-min had observed him.

They looked at each other suspiciously, but they did not reveal it. As Hyunmoo changed his clothes and came out, Yumin nodded his head.

“It fits well. The clothes I was wearing will be disposed of at our school’s waste disposal site.”

“It’s okay to throw it away at the industrial complex… but I don’t know if it’s okay to be indebted to it like this.”

“Anyway, I’m indebted to something, so I’m going to assume it’s the teacher.”

Hyunmoo thought for a moment. It is the same with being indebted to you like this.

Then, suddenly, Hyunmoo remembered that Yu-min was helping the miners because of the crystal moss. Hyunmoo said, opening the inventory window.

“By the way, you said you were researching crystal moss, didn’t you?”

“Yes Yes.”

“Then would you like to see this?”

What Hyunmoo brought out was a 1kg mass of sparkling crystal moss.
