The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

ground zero (5)

“Why are you watching me for so long?”

“just. Curiosity keeps going.”

“You know that useless tailing at Ground Zero can turn into a fight if misunderstood.”

“are you okay. Running away is going well.”

“So, is your curiosity satisfied?”

“No, it went deeper. Why the hell did you come here? There aren’t many monsters here, and the roads are complicated.”

As established in the original work, Jung Yu-ri was a woman with a lot of curiosity.

If Yoon Sang-mi often asked Kang-hu questions or talked to him with the feeling of flirting.

Jeong Yu-ri seemed genuinely curious about the character Kang-hu himself.

The feeling in his eyes was different.

“You saw it, don’t you know? I just came because I needed Mad Solachium.”

“I see… … .”

Jung Yu-ri stared at Kang-hu. As if I want to keep each face in my memory.

I also felt like I was seeing people up close after a long time.

looking curiously

“Anyway, I don’t want you to follow me anymore. Even if there is no hostility, it is not a picture I like very much.”

“Sorry. It must have been because I saw a Hunter who came to Ground Zero for the first time in a while.”

The truth is, I didn’t come here with pure intentions.

It was because he had received a request to track down and kill Jo Gu-bin.

You have to fight again to know how the fight with him will turn out. It could be a dogfight.

“How is the world these days? Is the purification guild still eating everything? Or did you take a shot at the abyss?”

Jeong Yu-ri changed the topic.

Seeing that the talk about the purification guild came up right away, it seemed that there was an antipathy towards them as I remembered.

I also thought that having expectations for the abyss of warlords was the same as myself.

Slightly, I decided to narrow the distance.

To Kang-hoo, Jung Yu-ri is a strategically significant figure.

This is because she, who is based in Ground Zero, grows faster than expected.

If you stay close, you can use her extensively later. It is a relationship that will help unconditionally.

so.

Originally, Kang-hu wasn’t the type to talk to her kindly, but today he actively talked to her.

“All of Seoul is under the jurisdiction of the Jeonghwa Guild. There are quite a few satellite guilds outside of Seoul.”

“… … Serious.”

“Is there any personal evil in the Jeonghwa Guild?”

“A lot. a lot. There are people who must take revenge. But I have no intention of leaving this place right now.”

“Right.”

“But where does it hurt? Why is your face so bloodless? Does eating Mad Solarium have any effect?”

Everyone who saw it talked about the bloodless face, so it wasn’t new anymore.

I thought I should at least tan, but I wondered if my born white skin would change dramatically.

“That’s what I was born with and ate.”

“For an assassin, the skill set was interesting. Did you pack a lot of good skill books?”

“You took good care of it.”

Kang Hu nodded.

From noble mtl dot com

Most of them are skills obtained through skill stealing, not skill books, but there is no need to explain them precisely.

Even after that.

Kang Hu had quite a few conversations with Jung Yuri.

I wanted to take a break because it was the yard where I collected all the planned Mad Solarium.

Because I wanted to build some kind of bond with her.

It could be said that it was an arrangement for the future.

Of course, I didn’t want her desperately or make her into a picture.

I just listened to what she had to say, responded kindly to what she had to say, and returned the question.

However, even with that, Jeong Yu-ri seemed to have been comforted to some extent.

The loneliness must have been that great.

“I must move now.”

“The story was unexpectedly long. I never thought something like this would happen at Ground Zero.”

“That’s what a relationship is like in the first place. Sometimes it connects unexpectedly, and sometimes it breaks.”

“Can you come over here one more time?”

“why?”

“just. you look pure how to say During the entire conversation, did you notice that he only focused on me?”

“Other hunters have different shapes, right?”

“Sometimes he only looked at my body, and sometimes he quietly drove me into a secretive atmosphere… … .”

It’s not strange.

Because the quality of the hunters who come to Ground Zero can’t be good.

I’m glad we didn’t fight.

For that reason, it seems that he received a higher score in the ‘relative evaluation’.

“And you look sad. It’s a face that keeps going to my heart.”

“Are you crying?”

“No, there are people like that. A person whose eyes are full of sadness. A person steeped in melancholy.”

I guess you can’t beat the setting.

The character Shin Kang-hu is always molded as a person with deep negative emotions.

That’s why even if you try to pretend otherwise, everything seems to show through in your eyes, actions, or tone of voice.

“okay. don’t stop by again I don’t know when that will be.”

Ganghu didn’t give a definite answer about the date, but he promised to come again.

Jung Yu-ri is a person who deserves it. It will help you a lot later in many ways.

“Please come again.”

“huh. But I don’t want to parent you because I have nothing to say.”

“I’ll refer to it.”

“Don’t die.”

As if Kang Hu was indifferent, he quickly left after leaving a word of concern for Jung Yu-ri.

Ganghu disappeared before I knew it, and I was left alone.

“… … .”

Jeong Yu-ri touched the tree where Kang-hoo’s warmth still remained, and was lost in thought for a moment.

It was the kind of look that crossed many thoughts.

before dawn.

Ganghu, who found a suitable cave to rest his eyes on and slept for about two hours, started moving with a refreshed body.

Looking at the amount of time I slept, it was an absurdly shorter amount of time than normal, but my condition improved a lot more than I thought.

The full mana unique to the entirety of Ground Zero and the aura of Mother Nature seemed to give him strength.

Ganghu had already specified a spot where Jo Gu-bin might be.

For Hunters with no prior knowledge of Ground Zero, the first problem is food security.

It is difficult to dig or eat something, so you have to find a monster that you can catch and eat in the wild.

However, the places where monsters that can be used for food are distributed are limited. So it becomes specific.

For example, the sunflower that spewed strongly acidic liquid to Kang-hu is a plant that must never be eaten.

moment to eat.

Paralysis starts from the esophagus, and death occurs in an instant. without any room for deciphering.

In the end, it was clear that they would fall into a limited place with edible monsters, but that place was around here.

The last place Jo Gu-bin was confirmed was Imjingang Station.

Kang-hu was sure that he would be in the place he expected.

You won’t have the courage to roam here and there in this unpredictable wilderness.

If Kang-hoo, who knows Ground Zero well, would be awkward, there’s no way a guy like Jo Gu-bin would empty his head.

During the movement, Ganghu consciously moved along rough terrain or slopes.

This is because the solarium, which grows on the ‘safe route’ that hunters usually go to, naturally disappeared right away.

However, there was a high probability that a wild solarium was growing in a place untouched by the hunter.

Thanks to that, I replenished a few more solariums, and I was able to make a total of 10 spares. That was enough.

“… … .”

Kang Hu took another look at the data on Jo Gu-bin that Lee Ye-rin had handed over.

A collection of materials written by the father who lost his daughter to Jo Gu-bin.

The contents written by hand in it contained the feelings of resentment, anger, and sadness in each letter.

I could feel the despair of the father who had lost his daughter to the killer in the occasional tear marks.

I can never die until I see my daughter’s revenge with my own two eyes, so it feels like I can’t die and live.

Estimated level 150.

Magic type, main ability is freezing.

It is not an easy composition to deal with.

This is because the ability to freeze can be a very threatening option depending on how you use it.

at that time.

A text message came from Lee Ye-rin.

【A designation request came in from Seon-gyu. The client is the person who entrusted the case of emptiness.]

【The client’s trust in Mr. Seon-gyu is very great. I really want to give it to you, would you accept it?]

designated commission.

It’s a request that doesn’t come in often.

That’s because you have to trust the skill of the client. If you’re not sure, there are also requests that you don’t do.

However, to put it in reverse, there was also a request that promised a considerable amount of compensation.

It is possible to expect at least 2.5 billion won, as it usually gives a request of a higher concept than before.

[It seems that the priority is to know the brief quest information and amount. I’m busy right now, so I’ll see you later.]

sent a reply right away.

There is no need to rush anyway. If Lee Ye-rin had a sweet body, it would have been sweet, but there was nothing to regret about Kang Hu.

In the future, the requesting side seemed to have nothing to worry about.

When the number of designated customers starts to accumulate, from then on, it is possible to pick and eat only the type of request you want.

【From the current point, 300m north, it will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Korea.】

【Be aware of all incidents and accidents as there is virtually no management body in North Korea’s Ground Zero.】

There were also warning signs.

North Korean land is also valuable in the long run.

The dungeons located in North Korea were not systematically and regularly attacked.

This is because there are more unknown dungeons than you can imagine.

The number of dungeons now known as dungeons in North Korea was less than half of the actual number.

However, you cannot go to North Korean lands other than Ground Zero at will, and you must obtain the approval of the Hunter Police Agency.

‘In the original work, there were too many contents sprinkled on North Korean soil as rice cakes. Come to think of it, I almost didn’t retrieve it.’

Kang Hu smiled bitterly as he recalled the life he lived as an original writer.

As the rice cakes were sprinkled too aggressively, less than half of the rice cakes were collected by the end.

So, in fact, in line with the ending of the collaborator, I was criticized for the poor number of rice cakes and ate a lot of curses.

‘In terms of a novel, even if you try to collect rice cakes, it feels like a super long story. If my life possessed becomes a novel, it would be really difficult to complete it.’

He smiled as he recalled the impossible imagination.

I thought that even if I wrote a dungeon story in the background of North Korea, I would be able to write a few books.

Right then.

Although it was a very small amount not far away, I felt the shimmering of mana taking place.

It was a clue obtained by linking the mana tracking ability as well as the senses maximized by mana hypersensitivity.

I don’t know who it is, but from this point on, I have to assume that there may be Jo Gu-bin.

So, Kang Hu targeted the tree right in front of him and hid himself by moving sideways.

Fast movement or camouflage are not important now, but reliable stealth is important.

how far did you travel?

By the time I had narrowed it down to a distance where I could understand the opponent’s face and appearance.

“Kill. You should have come to Ground Zero right away. Even if you run after them and kill them, you don’t know who they are. cluck!”

The evil voices of the world echoed sullenly against the dark-clouded sky.

‘found.’

It was Jo Gu-bin.
