Civil Servant HunterâS S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 162
Episode 162
When his complexion, which had improved, became gloomy again, Seo-ra patted his shoulder.
âYou went through a lot of trouble protecting me. This is nothing compared to what my brother did. âIâm just getting started.â
After his parents passed away, Yoon Jae-heon really gritted his teeth and lived for his younger brother.
Whenever there was a related event, he deliberately showed his face to block all eyes directed at Seo-ra, and after awakening at the age of 20, he wandered the world and worked hard to earn money. And because he lived in Athena anyway, he gave most of the money to Seo-ra through Song Hanna.
Living expenses before getting a job, the officetel where I lived before moving to the penthouse, a car, etc. It was all prepared with money Jaeheon sent.
There is no way I would give up my own life and abandon my brother, who I have lived for 12 years only for him. Rather, I was glad that I could be of help to him even now.
Because of Jaeheon, the current Seorra existed. If he had abandoned her to survive, Seo-ra would have left the world long ago without any regrets.
âAm I the only one who cares about you? I value you too, oppa. So, donât talk nonsense and just accept my protection from the injured person.â
Seo-ra grumbled, expressing those feelings in a blunt tone. Jaeheon, who blinked at the powerful appearance of his younger brother, burst into laughter.
âokay. Being depressed in a place like this will only hold you back. âThen please take care of my life.â
âIt may be a question. âDonât worry, I will guide you so that your limbs are intact and no further injuries occur.â
After compromising, the two set off again to find a way to destroy the maze.
How big was this place? All they encountered along the way was a cold body whose soul had already passed away.
Every time he encountered people wearing uniforms, Jaeheon closed their eyes with a distorted face and soothed their souls. Since the body could not be recovered, he promised to destroy the dungeon and took the hunterâs certificate.
âIsnât it better for mercenaries to take Athenaâs emblem rather than a hunterâs card?â
Seo-ra, who was watching Jae-heon by his side, secretly asked.
All Athena members wear an emblem symbolizing the mercenary group on their left arm. A beautiful crest engraved with a shield and spear that resembles the war god who leads them.
And since the memberâs name was written on the inside, I thought it would be right to take it, but Jaeheon shook his head.
âThe emblem of Athena is our pride. âItâs right to take it until you die.â
You cannot take away all pride and pride from a dead person. Rather, it is an insult.
Seo-ra nodded at Jae-heonâs assertion. After that, she never once expressed curiosity about him.
âBut isnât it strange here, brother?â
At Seo-raâs words, Jae-heon also nodded with a serious face.
This place was really strange. Itâs a maze, so thereâs nothing special about it, but there were a few other strange things.
âWhy is everything I see a corpse?â
So far, about 40 awakened people have entered the dungeon to conquer it. Assuming that all those who initially entered were dead, there are approximately twenty people left, but so far we have not encountered a single survivor.
No matter how large it is, you see corpses so often, but you donât see any survivors?
âNow that I think about it, I feel like Iâve been less able to meet people as time has passed. âIs it psychologically more tiring to be alone, so you deliberately tried to prevent monsters from meeting you?â
âMaybe so.â
âBut how on earth did you and I meet so quickly?â
Seo-ra turned her gaze to Jae-heonâs muttering. The fox was wagging its tail while looking at her. It was all thanks to the grace of the manager.
Seo-ra rubbed the bridge of his nose with gratitude and then told him about another strange thing.
âThere are too many bodies.â
The number of bodies that Seo-ra passed by before she met Jae-heon was well over ten. After I started going with Jaeheon, I found about seven bodies. It was too much.
âBesides, why are there so many Chinese people?â
This is southern India. Even though it was not close to China, there were too many Chinese corpses. Itâs not even just the awakened ones. There were also people presumed to be non-awakened who did not have hunter ID or weapons.
What the hell is this place⦠What do you mean?
âFirst, letâs summarize what we have discovered so far.â
Seo-ra, Jae-heon, and Gumiho put their heads together. Jaeheon looked at the nine-tailed fox a little uncomfortable. Seo-raâs face asked why a fox who couldnât speak was included, but Seo-ra shook her head and said not to worry. Without him, weâll never get out of here.
âThis is a maze dungeon, but itâs different from the commonly known mazes. âThere are no walls, only fog and grass, and there are no roads, so you end up wandering.â
âAnd when the people trapped here get tired, they always attack. â¦But is this really true?â
As soon as Seo-ra activated the cube, the forest attempted to attack Jae-heon again. This was another strange thing.
Jaeheon recovered all of his wounds and physical strength thanks to the potion and emergency food that Seora brought. Although my energy was slightly drained, it wasnât so much that I couldnât move. Despite this, the maze continued to attack him.
âIsnât this meant to attack tired people, but rather eat them in the order they came in?â
Jaeheonâs eyes widened at Seoraâs words. He thought for a moment and then nodded his head in agreement.
âThat might be right. The assumption was wrong from the beginning. âItâs natural that people who have been here for a long time will get tired first, but I only thought about the latter and didnât think about the former.â
âI guess I didnât even have time to think about it. Because he must have been in a hurry to survive right away. Anyway, if thatâs true, it would be more likely that most of the Indian hunters who first came here would have died.â
âThen there is one question that remains unresolved.â
Why are there so many Chinese corpses?
âThere is no way China secretly crossed into India and attacked this dungeon. Not long after the incident occurred, the Indian side immediately launched an attack. However, there is no way that Chinese people lived in a forest like thisâ¦â
Jaeheon, who was thinking carefully, came up with his guesses one by one.
âHey. Even when I think about it, this doesnât really make sense. Is there any possibility like this?â
âWhat?â
âWhat if a gate connected to this dungeon was opened in China?â
Seo-raâs eyes widened at Jae-heonâs words. Two doors appeared in one dungeon?
âThanks to Seong Ja-rim, it became known that the dungeon was another planet in the universe. The gate is the door that connects to that planet. But Seong Ja-rim never said that only one door can be opened.â
right. In fact, although there were differences in time, the door connected to Baskar was opened a total of three times.
When Seong Ja-rim was first imprisoned there and when she escaped after 108 years, and the last time an unexpected incident occurred in her house.
But would that be impossible on another planet?
âThere is a good chance. However, the fact that only Chinese bodies have a lot of white bonesâ¦â
âThat means they were trapped long before us.â
The two looked at each other. A cold feeling crept up from my toes.
A dungeon that occurred a long time ago in China. And a place where so many people died would not be an ordinary dungeon. It would certainly have been a big issue when it occurred.
And when it came to dungeons, Jaeheon, who had become a hunter earlier than Seora, knew very well.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSeven years ago, China confirmed that there was a dungeon that could not be conquered by its own hunters alone. âThere was an incident where we just locked it up without asking for help from another country.â
It was a time when there was only one L-level awakened person in China, Weihu. Rather than sending Wei Hu to an unidentified dungeon, the President chose to lock it up right away.
Additionally, a silence order was issued regarding the exact identity of the dungeon and the surrounding area was completely controlled to prevent anyone from accessing it.
âBut Captain Ali secretly obtained the identity of that dungeon. âThe grade was level 1 and the form was a maze.â
ââ¦.â
âJust like here now.â
Although the grade changed, the maze dungeon was not a type of dungeon that occurred very often. So there was a very high probability that it was connected to the Chinese lock dungeon.
âIt will become clear if we take the certificates of the Chinese hunters we found here and ask them to check them.â
If this place is connected to China, they should also ask for assistance. China is very ashamed of the fact that there is a locked dungeon in their country, so they will also open the door and attack it.
âand. I recently found a key, which will allow me to open the dungeon quickly. âIt is highly likely that WDO has not recovered the key yet because they are busy focusing on the Indian dungeon.â
âYou found the key? really?â
âhuh. âTo be exact, not me, but my summons.â
Seo-ra looked at the nine-tailed fox next to her. While he and Jaeheon were guessing, he remained silent. The clear green eyes just contained her.
Seora knows those eyes. Contained within was the affirmation that their guess was correct.
Damn I found the key. Otherwise, I would have had to wait for the keys to arrive from WDO headquarters in the United States. If that were the case, it would have taken more time to attack.
The presence of the manager was really helpful. What would have happened without him?
âThen I guess I should go out and report this.â
âokay. âThe problem is how to find the exit.â
Since this was the case, rather than destroying the dungeon itself, it would have been better to go out and inform them of the situation within the dungeon and dispatch a proper attack force.
The worry was short-lived.
âI have a way to find a way out.â
âThere is?â
Jaeheon was greatly surprised. How can you find an exit in a place like this where the fog is so thick that you can barely see ahead?
âHow do you think I found you?â
ââ¦that.â
âSo donât worry. âDonât worry, go out and tell us about this dungeon.â
âIf only you couldâ¦â
Jaeheon, who was nodding, paused for a moment. He slowly looked at Seo-ra with wide-open eyes.
My younger brother was looking at me with a subtle smile.
âWhat do you mean by that?â
No? Youâre not having such strange thoughts, are you?
âWhy are you talking like Iâm the only one going out?â
That canât be possible. Jaeheon smiled awkwardly. But his younger brother trampled on his wishes miserably.
âuh. Itâs true that only you are going out. âI will stay here.â
âWhat are you talking about!â
In the end, Jae-heon couldnât stand it anymore and screamed and grabbed Seo-raâs arm.
