ground zero (1)

Of course, from Kang Hu’s point of view, it seems to be a modification, but from Jang Si-hwan’s point of view, it is solid.

Now, hunters from the Fortuna Guild don’t have to worry about going in and out of Seoul.

This is because the agreement on mutual cooperation and full-scale exchange is practically no different from a guild union or alliance.

In case of emergency, there is no reason to look strange just because Sihwan Jang helps Casey or vice versa.

In this way, Jang Si-hwan narrows the physical and psychological distance from the other members of the thirteen stars.

After making sure the bottom work is done, everyone goes together as one body.

After seeing it, people see it as one huge ‘legion of heroes’ rather than doubting the authenticity of the alliance.

This is a big picture of Jang Si-hwan.

To be precise, his own karma as the original author who made such a plate for the main character Jang Si-hwan… … but that’s it

‘In the original work, it couldn’t have been a scene filled with mulberries.’

Kang Hu bit his lower lip.

The main character Jang Si-hwan, recognized by Casey Rex, one of America’s named hunters!

look! The main character in the novel you see is so amazing! It was a scene with that meaning.

From Xin Jianghu’s point of view, it looked like a gigantic design by the evil guys, so I couldn’t be this uncomfortable.

I feel like I want to jump in right away and break the plate. An unpleasant combination was created.

‘Seoul is so tricky.’

Seoul, where even mercenary activities were not allowed, had to be unconditionally under the jurisdiction of the Jeonghwa Guild.

A workaround is to work for the Hunter Police Agency, but state agencies are not a good option.

All actions are recorded, making covert activity impossible. Besides, what you can do is limited.

And in a bigger frame, the Hunter Police Agency in Seoul is practically the same as the 2nd Company of the Jeonghwa Guild.

‘I want to refuse to be deeply connected to the purification guild, but I want to put a spoon on the proper benefits.’

In the near future, there is a large issue under the leadership of the Jeonghwa Guild.

It is the attack of the super-large dungeon called ‘Judgement Hell’.

It is a large-scale raid in which 1,000 people are mobilized, and it is the only issue that seeks mercenaries from outside.

In terms of talent scouting, it is to leave room for outsiders.

In addition, since the Hell of Judgment Dungeon was owned by the Purification Guild, there was no particular issue that would cause a dispute.

Kanghu thought of putting an application for participation here.

This is because there are so many middle bosses to match the concept of a super-large dungeon, and there are many secret terrain inside.

It is also a dungeon that Jang Si-hwan always enjoyed whenever his growth was blocked in the original work.

In other words, if you change the perspective, there are many corners to benefit from. Because I know a lot

Gulp- Gulp-.

Kanghu drank a large can of coffee he just bought at a convenience store.

Maybe because it was a 500ml canned coffee that was a size up, there was still plenty of capacity left even after taking two sips.

at that time.

“You’re not from Seoul, are you?”

Suddenly, I heard a woman’s voice behind me.

Kang Hu had no personal connections in Seoul, so I couldn’t think of it as someone I knew.

There was a bit of awkwardness in his low, husky voice.

Does it feel like a foreigner speaking fluent Korean?

When I turned my head thinking about it, it was a familiar face.

‘Yu Cheonghwa.’

It was Yoo Cheong-hwa who had naturally remembered his face and name when he met Ahn Yeong-ho the other day.

Being Chinese, she is a member of the thirteen stars and has the ability to copy skills.

The reason she immediately recognized that she was Yu Cheong-hwa was simple.

A black blouse that was worn to reveal the breastbone.

A red rose tattoo that extends from the collarbone to the upper chest.

This is because even the small star-shaped tattoos under both eyes were her signature marks.

Red hair, red lipstick, red jacket and red pants.

and high heels.

The dress code must also be red, which was definitely Yu Chung-hwa’s taste.

“What are you doing?”

Kang Hu replied skillfully.

Yoo Cheong-hwa would not have known who she was and started talking to her.

Because I have no contact with her at all.

If I get embarrassed or overreact here, that will cause even more useless suspicion.

“It just makes me feel like a foreign hunter. Hunters who are mostly in Seoul don’t look closely at the electronic display board.”

“okay.”

He nodded his head as he was right.

Obviously, Ganghu was closely following the news from Seoul.

“Seoul, isn’t it fun? The prices are murderous, and everywhere you go, only those who eat everything eat it.”

It’s true, but I laughed at the thought of saying it through Yu Cheong-hwa’s mouth.

A guy who eats everything while secretly hiding behind and benefiting from the purification guild.

He is definitely fluent in Korean.

If you get rid of the very small sense of difference felt in the way you speak, you can think of it as a Korean.

My gaze naturally went to Yoo Cheong-hwa. At the same time, I prepared to prepare for her abilities.

Yu Chung-hwa is a hunter who has skill copying as her main specialty, but also possesses mental abilities as a sub ability.

The moment our eyes met her, Kang Hu had a very gloomy and difficult thought in his head.

The reason was simple.

It’s because it’s an effortless way to avoid her ‘mental scan’ to look inside her head.

Yoo Cheong-hwa, who met Kang-hu’s gaze, made a slightly surprised expression and smiled.

He secretly tried to scan Ganghu, but as he failed from the start, he saw Kanghu again.

This is because, in order to avoid mental scans naturally like this, you basically have to be at a higher level than yourself.

Or, if you are a professional hunter who has been trained to respond to mental abilities, it is also possible.

【The enchanted fox】

[When there is no other mental defense mechanism, acquire the status window information of a target with a lower level than yourself.]

【Great Replicator】

【You can duplicate the target’s skill through repetition and learning. However, the efficiency of the clone skill cannot exceed 20% of the previous one.]

【Silent Lady】

【Under any circumstances, information on contract constellations other than the two representative constellations will not be known.】

Just looking at the confirmed constellation information, it was possible to know how difficult she would grow into in the future.

There are three constellations of visible information.

However, because the Constellation of the Silent Woman is ‘blocking’ information about other Constellations.

Information on other constellations should be considered unknown.

【Interesting. There is a world I cannot see.]

I opened my mouth, wondering if I was surprised by the constellation information of Yu Cheong-hwa, which the dimensional usurper could not look into.

It is not for nothing that she becomes a member of the thirteen stars.

The core Constellations contracted by each member are Constellations with as great divinity as the Dimensional Stealer.

“excuse me.”

“yes?”

“Let’s stop making futile attempts. I have no intention of opening the door, so stop knocking.”

“It is sharp. Did you expect me to use my mental abilities?”

“It’s not that great of a Hunter. Nothing to worry about.”

spoke moderately.

It’s not that he didn’t like Yoo Chung-hwa’s attention, but he didn’t have any reason to get her attention either.

He is a person who has no choice but to become an enemy after each other. There’s nothing good about being close.

“Seeing that you say you’re not a great hunter, you’re more interested in it like a tree frog?”

“… … .”

When Ganghu didn’t respond, Yoo Cheong-hwa pulled out a business card from the business card wallet she took out of her jacket pocket.

It was a red background business card with a vivid gold frame, and a familiar name was engraved on it.

‘The Sintu Guild.’

It is the Sintu Guild, one of the top five guilds in China.

“If you are bored with domestic activities or want full support, come visit us. There is even a department dedicated to Koreans.”

“Do you think this business card can be a free pass?”

Ganghu glanced up.

“Of course. It’s a business card given only to those who have properly resisted my abilities even once.”

“Did you pass the test?”

“Well, that’s how it is. If you show this business card at any time, you will be able to talk to key people.”

“okay.”

“Or maybe this isn’t too bad. You can contact me here.”

Yu Cheong-hwa held out another business card.

This time, it was the contents with his name and number written on it.

“Is this your personal business card?”

“that’s right. Please feel free to contact me. As much as I come first, I will open my heart even more than that.”

The corners of her red lips curled up, and her strange eyes penetrated Kanghu.

It was blatant flirting no matter who saw it, but Kang Hu did not show any particular interest in such flirting.

“Take good care of it.”

“See you again.”

“If fate touches you.”

That’s how the meeting with Yu Cheong-hwa ended.

It was an unexpected meeting, but it was a place that naturally ended well.

This is how I came into contact with one of the thirteen stars.

Should I use it aggressively, or should I bury it in my memory as if it never happened.

This part seemed to be something to ponder.

The question of whether to look closely at those who will eventually become enemies, or from afar.

It’s not about right or wrong, it’s about which strategy to choose.

I had to be careful.

While waiting for the Gyeongui-Jungang Line heading from Seoul Station to Paju, where Imjingang Station is located.

Kang Hu was lost in thought as he watched the large-scale protests taking place near Seoul Station.

“Hunter Public Security Agency, subdue the abyss as soon as possible! Dismantle!”

“Arrest Captain Lee Hyeon-seok and put him to death!”

From noble mtl dot com

“If you don’t have the ability to do it yourself, let’s destroy the warlords with the help of the purification guild!”

These denunciations were not taking place in one place.

Abyss.

As one of the warlords closest to the metropolitan area, it is a thorn in the eye of Jeonghwa Guild and Jang Si-hwan.

This is because the Abyss is a place that constantly raises questions about the identity and misdeeds of the Purification Guild.

In the original work, there is a description that Jang Si-hwan is displeased with, saying that he is spreading unfounded rumors about him.

Considering the ending of the demon collaborator, Abyss’s words were not unfounded rumors, but the truth.

‘If I want to line up properly, it’s right to line up in the abyss. The purification guild is also awkward.’

Abyss is not a mercenary on a clumsy scale, and it is on a different level from an unorganized criminal organization.

It is a huge military organization.

So, if you want to operate within the sphere of influence of a large organization, Abyss was also a very good choice.

Of course, Lee Hyeon-seok, the captain of the abyss, will be treated badly even if he goes now because of his thorough meritocracy.

Kang-hoo, who was unintentionally looking at the text message window, saw a text message that had been pushed aside by spam text messages.

Looking at the caller’s name, it was Ahn Young-ho.

It was a name that had meaning and value, so I saved it.

[Seongyu hyung, are you doing well? I am Ahn Young-ho, whom my older brother saved the other day.]

[When are you coming to Japan? My uncle also really wants to see Seon-gyu. Come anytime.]

[All the benefits promised back then are still the same. It will be comfortable to work in Japan.]

“Yes, there was Japan.”

Kang Hu put on a satisfied expression.

It is not necessary to confine one’s thoughts to the country.

Thanks to a good relationship with Ahn Young-ho, I was able to expand my thoughts abroad as much as I could.

It was the best hand for Kang-hoo, who wanted to constantly inject momentum into his growth.
