Whoo, anyway, if only I could use magic, all this trash
I feel impatient.
I tried to move right away after taking down the guard in front of the warehouse.
But then sothing hit my foot.
What is this?
A cell phone falls at my feet as I lower my head.
Now that I think about it, I didnt realize it because I was busy planning a surprise attack earlier, but it looks like one of the guards was playing with his cell phone.
Did he drop his phone while falling asleep?
Just in ti!
Its hard to steal the first ti, but its easy the second ti.
I picked up the phone, which was still on, and pressed the button.
[Calling112]
The place to call was decided.
-Yes. This is the police. Is there sothing we can help you with?
Looking back at Kim Kiryeos mories, it is common sense on this planet to call the police when in a crisis.
Ah, because I was kidnapped.
I quickly opened my mouth.
But sohow, the conversation that followed was different from what I had imagined.
-Yes?
Yes?
-Hello?
Cant you hear it?
-Please speak loudly.
I was kidnapped!
-Hello?
Why does the police officer react like this? As if you cant hear my voice
No way, could it be that the cell phone is broken?
I ended the call imdiately. Theres no need to wait if they cant hear anyway.
Other functions should be normal.
Great.
If I cant call, Ill try texting.
I calmly wrote a text ssage to the police.
To put it simply and clearly, I wrote that I had been kidnapped and that I didnt know my current location, so I asked them to co and take care of it.
Fortunately, the answer was quick.
[Web transmission]
[Reception completed, it may take so ti to dispatch the police officers. In case of ergency, please call 112 imdiately.]
If I do this, I will be able to receive help even if my plan fails, right?
Right now, the biggest worries have been resolved. However
[How long does it take to get here? Is it safe for to just stay still?]
I sent another text to decide whether to escape or stay still.
[Web transmission]
[Reception completed, it may take so ti to dispatch the police officers. In case of ergency, please call 112 imdiately.]
But when I saw the text ssage that ca back, I felt anxious.
What is this, so kind of chanical response that looks like a paste-up?
Did you read the question? Or rather, if its like this, is it true that the report I originally sent was properly received?
I, I dont know.
So I decided to take out a small insurance policy.
This is because I usually rember Hunter Ahn Yoonseungs number.
Okay, Im done texting him.
Now that Im done reporting, lets move on to getting out of this place.
Even at this mont, a faint flowery scent ca from the incense burner.
***
What is this? The VIP and the boss are all here now, so who told him to wear a suit or sothing like that
Big Earthling Cut.
Huh? Did any of our kids dye their hair?
You too, get out of the way.
U, ugh! Is he one of the awakened people that we kidnapped? Stop! If you dont stop!
What are you going to do?
Get out of the way.
Bang! A high-pitched sound rings out once again.
The waves that fade in and out sound like the sound of a singing bowl.
The fastest way to use a magic tool like this is to stick it in your nose.
I thought as I twirled the chain of the incense burner in my hand.
First of all, the first plan is to get out of this place where the kidnappers are swarming.
The problem is that I have no idea about the structure of this building.
Whats important is the direction of the exit. These guys have blocked all the windows.
So I found my own signpost to get out there.
The wavelength is large enough for even a toothless great magician to track it, and the location is outside.
Luckily, theres a gate within the range of detection.
A gate.
Hunters hunting grounds have always been outside human buildings, such as in the mountains or wide open spaces.
So, I am currently moving by following the magic power of the nearest gate.
Is it because they make a living by kidnapping F-Class people? Surprisingly, there are no strong magicians.
Anyway, thanks to the incense burner item, the progress goes smoothly.
Ugh!
No, let correct this.
Its not going smoothly. There was a fatal penalty for Kim Kiryeo.
Damn it, I didnt even run, but my legs are already!
Suddenly, my right kneecap started to hurt as if it were going to tear.
This body is a body that cannot run. I have a leg that hurts even when I walk for a long ti, let alone run.
Theres nothing but pain. As ti goes by, the power becos less effective.
Damn it.
I walked in alarm with tears in my eyes.
I cant believe I just have to walk leisurely in this situation. Im going crazy. Very.
Ah! There it is. Over there!
Catch him!
Never let him go downstairs!
But it was that mont.
I heard rapid footsteps coming down the stairs, and if I stop, Ill surely run into my kidnappers.
Argh!
Theres not much ti left until the gate!
The escape was in its final stages. Now that things are like this, I have no choice but to pass through them.
Ugh? Wait a minute, dont tell that F-Class is in my hands!
How are you holding that!
And I happen to have sothing good for dealing with multiple awakened people.
Everyone stop breathing! W, who has the mask!
Its too late to stop breathing now.
Without stopping, I walked across the hall twirling the incense burner in my hand.
Thanks to this, the smoke from the incense burner filled the air enough to pickle the skin.
Ugh
Heuk!
They began to lose consciousness and fell to the floor one by one.
Among them, there were so who seed to be able to endure quite a bit. At the ti, I held an incense burner directly in front of his face.
Ugh sleep
Thud.
Before long, the last awakened person falls.
Is it running out of mana?
At the sa ti, the incense burner must have lost all of its power because the smoke that had been coming out of it stopped all of a sudden.
I threw away the used incense burner without any hesitation.
And without delay, I headed downstairs.
Now Ive been caught running away and theres no incense burner. Whatever cos next wont be easy.
My knees are screaming because I move too hard.
But I didnt stop walking. After enduring so much pain, I finally found a way out.
Aah!
I soon arrived on the first floor of the building.
I can feel the waves of the gate beyond the huge double doors at the end of the hallway.
A door that big would most likely be the first floor entrance. Isnt that usually the preference of architects in this world?
I beca impatient with the exit in front of and walked towards the door as if I were half-running.
Its not even locked!
Finally, it is a historic mont to get out of this musty abandoned building.
Thats exactly what I should have done.
Boss! There is a radio ssage that an awakened person has escaped and is coming down to this floor!
Click. Beyond the open door, an unimaginable sight unfolded.
A 20-pyeong room made up of crude temporary walls that were illegally extended.
A blue gate shines in the center of the room.
And Kang Changho, along with an old man with a cane who had just co out of the gate.
Heuk! Hes already here!
Y, you didnt run away, but you were looking for the boss?
Even though I didnt use water magic, cold sweat was running down my back.
Huh?
The gate is indoors?
What are you guys doing? How did you manage the good products so that he could even escape!
The old man who dressed in luxurious clothes shouted. He seed to be the highest-ranking person here.
But I didnt have ti to focus on what the other person was saying.
If Kang Changho had been outside the gate, he would have noticed that guys magical power and run away
What I was chasing so hard as an exit was actually where the boss of the organization was located.
Protect the boss!
It seems that this indoor gate is a very important place for them.
The magicians whose quality was different from those I had t so far were glaring at .
I was still in a panic and couldnt move, and the enemies looked at and asked questions.
F-Class! How on earth did you escape all those awakened people who ca to catch you?
.
Seeing that no one has co down by this ti, no way
I dont really want to answer the kidnappers questions.
I didnt feel the need to talk, so I kept my mouth shut. The hunter who was standing next to the boss then turned pale.
Why?
Are you mad because I didnt answer?
Now that I look at them all, their attitudes are strange.
Everyone just flinched without even thinking about subduing the escaped F-Class.
That punk, was he a false reporter, not an F-Class?
.!
Aha, I see.
They dont seem to know that I used an incense burner to knock out his n.
Ha, cowards! If I just bluffed this well, I could have just run away!
I stood comfortably.
A relaxed posture with the stress of the shoulders gone. The kidnappers who saw this muttered as expected and beca very nervous.
But this wasnt really an act of bragging.
Im dood.
I really lost strength in my body.
The assumption that I could have escaped by bluffing this is only possible if that person doesnt exist.
Haa, Im sorry. Mr. Kang. I cant believe Im showing such indecent behavior when an important deal has just been made.
The guy who was the president of this organization adjusted his fedora and apologized to Kang Changho. Then he made an offer.
I know its a shaless request, but can you help for a mont?
Help?
Im asking you to catch that hunter. The transporter is scheduled to arrive at midnight.
Aha.
Of course, our kids can easily subdue him. But wouldnt it be much more reliable and faster if an S-Class hunter ca forward?
That conscienceless b*stard is leaving the work to the VIP.
Of course I have to help. We are all in the sa boat.
Of course, our VIP didnt hesitate.
Haha! As expected of you. Oh, by the way, you said you need an appraiser, right? Ill give you a big discount at this ti.
They made light bargains in front of people.
Even though it was extrely unpleasant, I couldnt say a word in response.
Kim Kiryeo, did you hear that? Your price is cheap.
.
This man also seems to know that so products will be broken from now on.
It is embarrassing to compare the gap between an F-Class hunter and an S-Class hunter to that of an egg and a rock.
I think Kang Changhos attack would tear my body apart if it even touched . So how can I deal with him?
What should I do? When are the police coming? Are they coming? Yoonseung-ah, are you sleeping? Did you see my text?
I hid my trembling hands in my pockets and maintained my posture.
Then Kang Changho walked out leisurely.
Youre so calm, why dont you run and run away now?
There was a soft line at the corner of his mouth. Its an artificial smile.
The road behind us is also wide open, so if you run as best as you can, we will appreciate your efforts this ti.
Hey, do you think I was acting this way because I dont want to run?
Hunter Kang Changho.
With a half-empty mind, I told the truth.
Have you ever seen run?
Kang Changho had a brief mont of thinking after hearing those words.
Even if you think about it, you might think its strange.
No, you
Even when I first t the S-Class hunter.
Even when being chased by black wolf inside the gate.
Even at this mont.
Never, right? Ive never run.
Kang Changhos expression gradually hardens as he reflects on what happened in the past.
The smile that had been on his lips had already disappeared.
Not even once.
I could see Kang Changho staring at with wide eyes.
As he remained silent, the space was filled with a tense tension that seed as if it might explode at any mont.
