The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Chapter 45

“Hazard removal complete. Return to sleep status.”

Kim Jung-ho, who defeated all the villains, said.

The odd mouth and tentacles of his body were gone.

Then he closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.

“Um, did you fall asleep while standing again?”

Kim Jeong-ho rubs his eyes as if tired.

It was hard to see that he was chasing villains until a while ago.

It was like a completely different person.

No, to be precise, this figure now can be said to be his original appearance.

He looked around for a moment and then hurriedly walked towards the house.

“You’re doing great.”

And Sungjin was watching it.

Although he entrusted his father’s escort to Slenderman, he was also a bit anxious to entrust it to the monster.

So he had been watching him leave it for several days.

But it was kind of a concern.

Slenderman was very good at fulfilling his orders.

In addition to this kidnapping case, there are other cases such as robbery and murder disguised as a crash accident.

All of them were well blocked within an inconspicuous range.

Nevertheless, the causative agent must deal with it.

The black shadow I just used to deal with the villains.

A miniature version of the one that covered the dungeon in darkness, others could not see what was going on there, and those inside could not escape.

It was the perfect skill to assassinate someone.

‘Besides, it doesn’t seem to have weakened.’

At first, when I saw Slenderman getting smaller, I thought he was weak.

But it was different.

I haven’t seen it in dungeons before, but the monster called Slenderman itself was a parasitic monster.

It was a monster that borrowed the body of a person or a monster and exerted power through that body.

And as you can see, it could steal the will of the host or give it back.

“Good job. Slenderman. I wish you well in the future.”

– Thank you. master.

To his own words, Slenderman answered.

A distant Slenderman heard his words and answered.

This was the best.

Originally, the taming skill had the additional ability to communicate with monsters.

But even conversation was not possible. It was only at the level of humans and animals.

However, perhaps because Slender Man can speak human language, he can even talk.

There were a lot of things this could take advantage of.

You can receive real-time information about when and which enemy has arrived, what the situation is, where it is, and whether it is an emergency or not.

If it’s dangerous, you can come by yourself.

“I can rest assured with this.”

I spent about a week watching my father and Slenderman.

And as a result, I thought I could trust it now.

“Then, shall we go see him?”

Also, when dealing with the villain, I couldn’t help but see him first.

***

Police are the profession that has changed the most with the emergence of the Awakened.

Originally, possession of weapons was illegal in Korea, so there were hardly any major incidents like other countries.

However, this changed when the gates appeared with the Awakened.

In order to clear the gate, I had to allow myself to raise my weapon.

Since all the Awakened were not good men, those who commit crimes, commonly known as villains, began to appear.

As a result, the work of the police increased.

The organization grew in size and began to hire Awakened Hunters as police officers to deal with villains.

– Awakened Police

It was rustic, but it was a name for them.

They had a tendency to be pushed back by the villains at first.

It’s partly because they haven’t established themselves as Awakeneds, but it’s simply because they’re weak.

Awakened characters are quality over numbers.

Higher-ranked Awakeneds can deal with multiple low-ranked Awakeneds.

Once the numbers were increased, the villains moved more daringly.

After seeing this, the government finally decided to raise elite Awakened characters and created high-quality Awakened characters in a short period of time.

And it was Kim Gak-hwan, the current chief of the National Police Agency, who was leading them.

He became the first and highest-ranked A-class Awakened among police officers and succeeded in subduing the villains and making the society as peaceful as it is today.

Considering the society at the time, there were not a few people who called him a hero.

And now he was sitting in his private room, scratching his head nervously, looking at a report.

“Damn. I thought I’d get a little less work now, but are you reporting again?”

Most of the prominent villains were dealt with.

But that didn’t mean the villains were completely gone.

They succeeded in suppressing the villain’s activity, but they were only hiding.

Like cockroaches, they hide behind their eyes and lay eggs, receiving new loads and accumulating power.

“I have to put these guys up in a place where I can see them quickly…”

The work is currently in progress and has been showing some results recently.

But in the meantime, don’t touch them prematurely.

If the villains hide again, it will be difficult to find them again, so this time, we had to do it all at once.

‘The problem is that this report is huge.’

The report target is the Fire Dragon Guild.

It was a guild that had an A-class hunter as the guild master, even if it wasn’t a large guild.

The reporter was reporting that this guild was a guild of villains.

It wasn’t something that would normally come to you.

But this time, the reporter and the evidence were large.

The reporter was Do-hyeong Lee, the master of Argonaut, one of the largest guilds, and the evidence was a photograph of them committing a secret and a tape of conversations recorded.

If there is such clear evidence… I can’t help but investigate.

“Oh, damn it. I want to get these guys and hidden camera killers in the black room. Among the many, why is it a fire dragon?”

“That’s right. Here’s the coffee.”

“Oh, thank you.”

When Kim Gak-hwan brought coffee from behind, he received it and handed over the report to the back.

And for his original purpose, he drank coffee to rest his head… .

“Pooh woo woo!!”

I spit it out while drinking.

This is your own private room.

He is his own space, a secret room that not even a janitor will let in.

But why is there someone else here at this time?

It’s also someone he didn’t realize!

“Isn’t it to your taste? It’s been a while since I brewed instant coffee myself.”

“Who are you? Where are you from?”

Kim Gak-hwan jumped up from his seat and asked, taking a position where he could attack and counterattack at any time.

To be honest, I want to kick him right now and knock him down.

First, I needed to find out who the opponent was.

“Ah, I’m late to greet you. My name is Seong-Jin Kim. I came in through the door over there.”

Seongjin said so, and he folded the report he had received and placed it on the desk near him.

“I get a rough idea of ​​what the problem is. Was the timing too soon?”

“Hey! Are you saying I didn’t even notice you came in? And why are you so proud in front of the police? Is this trespassing? I know you don’t know?”

“Ah, he’s talking about his law again. Don’t worry about that, let’s talk. To be honest, the security here is so poor, I’ve said enough to break through even the stealth skill I just learned this time.”

“What?!”

“And Gak-hwan’s uncle… No, the chief is pretty weak at detecting magic.”

“….”

Kim Gak-hwan did not respond to Sung-jin’s words.

Although the words he said were very offensive, they were true.

Magical detection is a skill that needs to be learned and used for a long time.

However, Kim Gak-hwan needed to quickly become strong at the request of the government, so he only battled with monsters that were as strong as possible.

As a result, the quality of combat experience was high, but the number of experiences was small.

It’s not perfect because it’s an Awakened character made of attributes.

“I’m not here to fight the Commissioner. I’m trying to have a conversation, but the process is so complicated that I jumped over it, so I ended up like this.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s about reducing the chief’s worries.”

Seongjin said so and tapped the report that was placed on his desk.

He must have been listening to himself.

If so, you should ask questions that are not on the report.

“It’s a concern… I don’t know. What kind of trouble are you talking about? You’re not talking like a con artist, a fortune teller, are you?”

“I can’t.”

How often have you heard about this before Return, but you might not know it.

In particular, I heard from you as a party.

“Are there any spies in the Fire Dragon Guild?”

Whoo-!

Kwajik!

🤩

As soon as the horse fell, Kim Gak-hwan’s kick flew.

He knew he was going to attack, so he avoided it, but still waiting for a quick and heavy kick.

I obviously avoided it, but the wind pressure turned my head and the surroundings became a mess.

Bookcases shattered, books torn, and papers flew in the air.

“You bastard… where did you hear that?”

“Are you going to attack and ask? Don’t worry. I also had a bad relationship with the villains of Fire Dragon, so I just found out about it by chance.”

“So where did you find out about that?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Reactions indicated that this was highly classified information.

Well, I’ve been hiding the spy for years, but it’s good enough that it was discovered by someone else, maybe even a villain.

“The chief has taught me.”

“I?”

“Yes.”

Saying that, Sungjin looked around, picked up a picture that had been left behind, and showed it to him.

“Isn’t it obvious that your younger brother’s name was Kim Gak-ryong?”

“….”

“And the name of the Bugilma of the Fire Dragon Guild is Kim Gak-ryong. Where else could there be such a strange coincidence? They look similar?”

Kim Gak-hwan did not answer.

The answer to this was baffling.

“The spy’s true identity is Kim Gak-ryong? It’s all the information you taught me.”

Precisely, it was information taught by future Kim Gak-hwan before Return.

“Are you the only one who knows?”

“It’s only me right now, but I don’t know what will happen if you try more.”

It’s an obvious threat.

But now I have no choice but to take this stance.

Originally, I had to go back a little more leisurely, but in order to fix my current job, I had to go faster, even if it was too much.

“What do you want?”

“As I said before, I have a bad relationship with the villains of Fire Dragon.”

“If you’re asking me to take care of those guys, you shouldn’t.”

“That’s fine. That’s not what I want. I just need a little cooperation and permission.”

“permission?”

“Yes. About killing the Fire Dragon.”

When Kim Gak-hwan heard the name, he thought about it for a while.

When the police move, the villains move accordingly.

But what if it were an individual?

The scary thing about the police is that although some have strong power, they are difficult to attack because of their large number, and above all, they have a backbone.

But individuals don’t have that.

no matter how strong it is.

Rather, as an individual, he was more likely to rush to get revenge.

Above all, this guy who knows his brother’s identity is highly likely to die.

“Okay. But I’m going to add someone to you too. Just in case.”

“Yes, of course.”

Sungjin smiled softly.

Kim Gak-hwan was also cautious.

However, taking care of his younger brother was no different from before.
