I Live Alone in the Inventory

Chapter 62

Silence fell in the shelter chief’s room.

Jung-min spoke to Jo-won again.

“You proclaimed ‘one China’ for the whole world? What do you mean? You mean to unite all the earth and make China? How?”

“That’s it, I don’t know. I just know that there is such a saying. If you want, I will try to gather information related to that side in the future.”

Jungmin nodded at Jo Won’s words.

“Yes, I beg you. As time goes on, more and more things will happen. We should quickly get rid of [Trial of the Gods] or something…”

“Huh? [Trial of the Gods] gets rid of?”

When Jo Won questioned, Jung Min evasively said,

“It’s about ending the [Trial of the Gods]. Isn’t this kind of thing going to happen if we finish the [Trial of the Gods] quickly?”

“Well, it is.”

Looking at Jo Won who was licking his lips, Jung Min said.

“First of all, the biggest problem is the looters? I have to deal with them first.”

“Yes, this is the most urgent matter. Because of them, we have to go out on a large scale even for light reconnaissance. We have already lost news of some of the reconnaissance groups… I’m going to go crazy these days.”

“I’ll go out and find out about that. When I talked about it before, I told you to deal with them later when they become marauders. That’s what I said then and now.”

A blush appeared on Joe’s face.

“Oh, would you please do that? It would be of great help to me.”

“Of course you should. If something like this happens in the future, tell me anytime.”

“I want to do that too, but you seem too busy…”

“I’m busy. I need to get this looter thing done quickly and move on.”

“Going over? Where?”

At Jo Won’s question, Jung Min smiled and said,

“It’s a trade secret.”

Jung-min and Leah left the shelter manager’s room.

Jung-min said to Leah as they walked down the hallway.

“Can you understand the content of the conversation with the shelter chief?”

Leah nodded at Jeongmin’s question.

“Yes, I was able to understand what was going on. There are a lot of complicated things going on like this.”

“I mean. I’m going to have to go out and deal with some of the marauders. If we leave them alone, they’ll probably end up like… the Celestials,”

“Yes, that’s right. Jung-min thought so too.”

Jungmin nodded.

“Yes, if you think about it, the group of marauders and the Celestial Society are very similar. Should we say that the texture of their thoughts is the same? Their actions are the same… When their scale grows, to the level of the Millennium, eventually the earth will become ‘Chiaran’. It will end up like that.”

Looking at Jung-min’s mixed reaction of concern, Leah also nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. There have always been such people in Elan. Give them time, and they will grow enormously. We have to deal with them now.”

“Then, let’s go out after eating. It’s almost lunchtime already.”

The two walked to the restaurant.

Jeong-min and Leah, who finished their meal at a restaurant they stopped by after a long time, ran into two familiar people as they exited the restaurant.

“Ah you…!”

The tall man who was surprised to see Jung-min and spoke to him was Kim Hae-yoon, former guild leader of the Star Guild.

Jeon Ji-yeon, who came in next to Hae-yoon, also greeted Jung-min with a surprised expression.

Jungmin smiled and told them.

“It’s been a while. It’s the first time I’ve seen you since [Phukgang] Shelter. How are you?”

“Yes, yes! We got along well. Except for the fact that the guild was ruined and I came in as [Daesung], nothing special happened!”

Hae-yoon speaks in a loud voice as if nervous.

Seeing Hae-yoon like that, Jung-min smiled.

“I heard that the guild was disbanded. It’s a pity.”

“Oh, no. Thanks to you, I was able to come and live here at [Daesung].”

Ji-yeon, who was next to Hae-yoon, said to Jung-min.

“I received the potion you gave me. Thank you so much for giving me such a great potion.”

When Ji-yeon thanked her, Jung-min shook her head.

“Thank you, to those who saved the life of our [Daesung] shelter leader.”

Hearing Jung-min’s words, Hae-yoon said in a loud voice as if her tension had been relieved.

“Ah, that’s right! Aren’t we the ones who saved [Daesung’s] shelter leader’s life! What a mythical item, Aias’ bangkoeoeoeook!”

“I’ve told you several times not to talk nonsense.”

Jiyeon hit Haeyun’s side with her elbow and spoke like a growl.

Ji-yeon, who glared at Hae-yoon, who sat down clutching his side, looked back at Jeong-min and smiled.

“We’ve also become members of [Daesung], so please take good care of us.”

“Ah.. yes. Thank you very much. So, are you going to join [Daesung]’s combat unit?”

“Yes, they are still working on the construction of the accommodation building, but they say that when the building is completed, it will be newly organized.

“Ah, that’s right. You haven’t officially become a member yet.”

Ji-yeon smiled bitterly at Jung-min’s words.

“It’s still treated as an outsider. Well, it can’t be helped. There’s a story about a guild that accepted refugees and then collapsed due to looters mixed in with them.

“Yeah, that seems to be the case. That’s why I’m going to go and clean up the marauders.”

Hae-yoon and Ji-yeon’s faces lit up after hearing Jung-min’s words.

“It’s fortunate. If you step forward, it will be sorted out soon. We’ll settle down and stay here safely. Rumors say that looters are forming an organization or something, so be careful… Oh, I was worried for nothing. Anyway, i look forward to.”

“Yes, I think the two of you will be a great strength for [Daesung]. Thank you for your support.”

Jeongmin and Leah said goodbye to the two and left the restaurant.

Jung-min, who told Leah about the relationship between the two, also told about the conversation they had in front of the restaurant.

After hearing Jung-min’s story, Leah said.

“It’s probably best to go out and find the band of marauders who are said to be on the rise. Small bands won’t be easy to find if they’re in hiding.”

“Yes, let’s try that. If the size of the group is large, it will stand out. Shall we go out?”

The two came out of the shelter.

The street scene I saw after a long time gave me a desolate feeling as always.

Jung-min looked around and used spatial movement on top of a tall building.

Jeong-min and Leah look around from the roof of a building.

Jeongmin looked down and said.

“I see a lot of gates around shelters and guilds. If it was a gate close to the base, I should have subjugated it first.

At Jung-min’s words, Leah looked at the gates and said.

“Rather than having trouble trying to capture the gate itself… it’s probably because of the looters. If they attack while trying to capture the gate… it’s a problem that could result in a huge blow or total destruction. Because of them, it’s going to be difficult to attack the gate recklessly. “

At Leah’s words, Jungmin sighed.

“Really.. It’s time to be busy trying to attack the gate, but it’s true that I have to be more wary of the same person..”

“I think the same thing happens in any world. To be honest, if the awakened humans gather well, the difficulty of [Trial of the Gods] will drop dramatically. I knew it, but I’ve never seen one unite against the [trial of the gods].”

Watching Leah speak bitterly, Jung-min also smiled bitterly.

Jung-min, who turned his eyes again and looked under the building, said to Leah.

“There isn’t anything that catches my eye here. Shall we move to another place?”

Leah nodded at Jeongmin’s words.

“It would be better to just walk down the street than to look from above. If you see two men and women walking around… I’m sure looters will approach you.”

Hearing Leah’s words, Jung-min felt that her words made sense.

‘Yes, if the two of us go around, there will surely be those who approach us thinking that they are delicious prey. Besides, Ms. Leah… she’s very pretty.’

Jeongmin nodded, took Leah’s hand, and moved downwards.

The two of them moved to a certain distance from the guild and shelters by using a few more teleportations.

From there, he looked around and started walking.

I walked around for a while, but nothing out of the ordinary happened.

“I thought they would attack right away, but it’s not. I don’t feel any sign of it…”

Hearing Jungmin’s words, Leah nodded.

“I mean. I don’t know if there are any around here. Shall we take a break?”

Jung-min agreed with Leah and took out two camping chairs from his inventory.

Jeong-min, who even brought out simple snacks, felt the day chilly, and roughly gathered wood chips and stones from the surroundings to make a bonfire.

While sitting across the campfire, eating snacks and chatting, Leah said.

“Someone is approaching. Do you know?”

Jungmin nodded.

“Yeah, I know. Uh… they’re drifting away again.”

Just as Jung-min said, I could feel the presence of someone approaching and then quickly moving away.

“I’ll be there.”

Jung-min left Leah and ran in the direction of the presence.

“Oh, maybe a little-“

Leah tried to say something, but Jung-min was already gone.

‘Well, Jung-min will take care of himself’

Leah looked at the bonfire and waited for Jung-min.

Jung-min chased after the sign that was getting farther away.

If I wanted to, I could have caught it right away, but I kept in mind that it was a looter running away from the base, and slowly followed it at a distance.

The presence that Jeong-min was chasing entered the alley between large buildings and stopped.

‘Is this the home base?’

Jung-min ran into the alley without delay.

As soon as you step inside, what you see is a small space made by roughly erecting a box next to countless piles of junk and something large flying into Jung-min’s face.

‘Heo-eok’

Jung-min turned his head to avoid something flying towards him, and someone with a short body jumped at him.

Someone who stabbed him with a small knife in his hand ended up hanging dangly in the air with Jung-min’s hand holding his neck.

“Su, Sua! Attack!”

Something in response to the screaming voice fluttered and flew back to Jung-min.

Jung-Min catches the flying thing with his hand again.

‘.. pigeon? And… it’s a girl, isn’t it?’

Jung-min looked confused as he looked at the girl hanging in the air while being held by his hand and the pigeon struggling while being held by the other hand.

The girl in Jung-min’s hand shouted.

“Mi, Minjun! Run away!”

“sister!”

A small figure jumped out of the small space of the box and attacked Jung-min.

A boy with a smaller body than the girl in Jung-min’s hand.

He stabbed Jeong-min with a kitchen knife that didn’t suit his small hand.

Of course, the knife that touched the body did not penetrate Jung-min’s body, but rather slipped from his hand and severely cut the boy’s hand.

“Ah!!”

“Minjun!”

A boy with blood spurting from his hands and a girl screaming.

What happened in an instant, Jung-min couldn’t come to his senses.

Seeing the injured boy, the girl struggles even more in Jung-min’s grasp.

Jung-min gently put the girl on the floor.

The girl was momentarily surprised that Jung-min had let her go, and then hurriedly ran to the boy.

When Jung-min released the pigeon he was holding in his other hand, the pigeon flew to the girl and started spinning overhead as if worried.

“Sister, it hurts…it hurts.”

“Minjun-ah! Minjun-ah! What should I do?”

Tears flowed from the girl’s eyes as she held onto Minjun’s bleeding hand.

Jung-min sighed and took out a bottle of high-grade potion from his inventory.

When Jung-Min approaches, two startled children and a pigeon block their way.

Jeong-min said to the girl, looking at the pigeons glaring at him as if they would attack immediately if they took even one step closer.

“Um… can you tell me to get out of the way of this pigeon? I’ll treat your brother’s hand.”

After hearing Jung-min’s words, the girl looked at Min-joon and Jeong-min, who were crying and bleeding from their hands, as if in conflict for a moment.

Soon after, he bit his lip and said.

“Su, get out of the way”
