Episode 55
Sihyeon quickly tried to figure out the current situation.
There is someone in the house. That’s 2 people too. Plus, the infamous Awakened ones.
They too must have sensed their presence.
Going in? This is crazy.
We have to leave here quickly.
Sihyeon turned his eyes and glanced at the living room window, but there was no sign of anyone coming in. He would not have noticed at all had it not been for the insight of an experienced guard.
Feeling a chill running down his spine, Sihyeon slowly walked backwards. After reaching the gate as carefully as possible, he turned around and walked faster. And when the distance widened to some extent, he started running.
destination?
I didn’t think about that. All I wanted to do was get away from here.
“uh?!”
It was when Sihyeon was about to turn the corner.
Suddenly, something that looked like a human figure quickly jumped out. Sihyeon tried to dodge somehow, but they were both so fast that they couldn’t dodge and ended up crashing into each other.
thud.
The opponent rolled over. She was a short and thin woman. It seemed foreign to her, with her brown hair and brown eyes.
Even though the woman had collapsed due to the collision with him, Sihyeon was standing there with a slightly dazed expression. His eyes seemed to be looking into space, but in fact, they were looking at the notification window.
[Warning: A somewhat infamous person has been detected nearby.]
A warning window appeared again.
What is this again?
… How can this be?
Could it be that something went wrong? Sihyeon couldn’t come to his senses as the embarrassing situation continued to unfold.
‘no.’
The system has never given us incorrect information until now. then?
Sihyeon started running again without even looking at the fallen woman. Soon, Si-hyeon moved away to the other side of the road.
The foreign woman scratched her head and slowly stood up.
“This is… how did you notice?”
She muttered with an incomprehensible expression on her face.
◈ ◈ ◈
There were two men near the front door.
They were Han Kyung-jin and Jeon Hee-seung. They were crouched down and motionless like stone statues.
I wrapped my hand around the blade of the dagger to prevent the light from leaking out. Her breathing was so weak that she couldn’t even feel it properly. If it had been a little darker, it would have almost felt like a part of the darkness.
The skill of hiding one’s presence from an assassin was essential. They too had used that technology to remain in hiding.
‘come.’
Kyungjin Han sensed someone approaching the front door and sent a signal with his eyes.
‘know.’
Jeon Hee-seung twisted the corners of his mouth into a wry smile. He seemed to be looking forward to what would happen in the future. They waited for the front door to open and their target to enter.
But the door did not open quickly.
‘what are you doing?’
Heeseung’s face showed a little annoyance. I was anxious with anticipation, but my goal was to rest.
Gyeongjin remained silent and focused only on the sight of his target. The target stood for a moment.
But soon, I felt the presence slowly getting further away.
‘uh?’
Gyeongjin looked puzzled at the thought.
Did you detect a presence here?
… No, that can’t be true.
The opponent is an E-class hunter. No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way something like that was possible.
“Ah… what an annoying bastard.”
Heeseung grumbled in a low voice. There was no way he wouldn’t be bored waiting as an assassin. But the wait ended up getting longer.
“…Maybe you noticed?”
Kyungjin said that even though he thought it couldn’t happen. The opposite s*x says no, but my heart is somehow worried.
“That’s some kind of dog eating grass. What do you care about an E-class subject?”
Heeseung looked at Kyungjin as if he were talking nonsense.
“but.”
I also felt that Kyungjin had gone too far.
“You must have suddenly remembered something you have to do. Anyway, you are not homeless and you will come back home, so it’s annoying, but let’s wait.”
It was then.
Heeseung’s cell phone vibrated.
Gyeongjin looked at Heeseung with puzzled eyes.
“Do you put your phone on vibrate while you’re working?”
“…Sorry. It wasn’t that big of a deal, so I came here comfortably.”
Heeseung made an apologetic gesture and answered the phone.
“why?”
“Hey you idiots.”
It was a woman’s voice.
“What nonsense are you talking about again?”
“The prey has already noticed and runs away.”
“Are you kidding me?”
“It’s true. I checked? I can already feel it stopping at the door. If I had been a little late in noticing it, I would have not even been able to get it buried.”

“what?”
Heeseung’s voice rose.
Did you really notice?
No way.
“Come out quickly. If you delay, you may not be able to catch it within today.”
The woman hung up the phone.
“Rebecca? What do you say?”
Kyungjin asked.
“Damn it. I was caught off guard.”
“what?”
Gyeongjin also looked dumbfounded. I never thought you would really notice.
“Still, since Rebecca buried the incense sticks, it’s only a matter of time before he runs away.”
Heeseung said as he put Bisu in his arms.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Whoa….”
When he thought the distance had increased to some extent, Sihyeon sighed for a moment.
Should I chase you?
They are the type of guys that sneak into your house. It didn’t seem like he would give up easily. She didn’t find it strange that the foreign woman came after her right away once she found herself running away.
Sihyeon decided to move again. If they thought they were tracking me, I had no time to spare. The first thing to do was to avoid to a place where the other person could not see you.
Sihyeon quickly thought about where to hide.
There were two ways.
Either hide in a secret, deserted place where no one can find you, or go into a crowded place and hide in a forest of people.
Sihyeon decided to use the latter. Because it was evening time, there were many people in the downtown area. A cafe, a restaurant, a PC room, or any place was fine. If you go into any building, what talent do you have to find it among the countless people and buildings in the downtown area?
Sihyeon caught a taxi and headed to the downtown area. He deliberately went to a place a little further away rather than the nearest one.
I got off at the downtown area, looked around, and headed to a cafe on the 5th floor of a building. I was thirsty from all the hectic movement, and I wanted to secure visibility just in case.
Sihyeon sat at a table near the wall and ordered a drink. From the outside, the area below was clearly visible, but from below, it was covered by a wall, so she couldn’t see herself.
I thought there was no way they would actually find it, but I acted as cautiously as possible just in case. And only then did Sihyeon truly sigh and think deeply about this sudden incident that occurred after work.
What is it?
If he wasn’t an awakened person, he would have been thought of as a thief or a robber. But he is an awakened person.
An awakened person breaks into someone else’s house to steal or rob?
This is nonsense. It was correct to think that it was a completely different intention.
“….”
Sihyeon bit her lip with a worried look on her face. He felt regretful that if he had used insight to look at the other person’s information, he could have gotten some clues.
However, there was absolutely no room for that. For now, I had no choice but to make my own inferences without any information.
Be awakened. The awakened person moved.
Has anything happened to warrant resentment against the Awakened?
No one knew that there was a legendary item. While he was running raids, he didn’t remember doing anything particularly worthy of resentment.
There could have been just one.
cotton ball technician.
He might be able to move with murderous intent for no reason, but I didn’t think that he, who had been completely bloodied by Hyris, would move again without fear.
then… .
No, wait.
Sihyeon suddenly raised his head with a serious face.
‘… unique?’
It suddenly occurred to me that I own a unique item. Unlike Legendary, there were quite a few people who knew that they had obtained a unique item.
Even if we leave Minjun and Eunhye aside, there were members of the Black Tiger guild and Na Hyeong-cheol of the White Dragon guild. I thought they didn’t seem like those people, but that’s just my opinion. These are people who don’t know that well. This means that it would not be surprising if the rumor was spread by someone.
Sihyeon took a sip of the drink she ordered and continued to think. He didn’t read the detailed information earlier, but the text that appeared in the warning window was ‘somewhat infamous person’. Last time, ‘a fairly infamous person’ was B-level, so it’s probably lower than that. In that case, it made sense to deduce that it was about C level.
Unique items are worth at least billions of dollars. It was a treasure that would attract the attention of a B-class, high-income hunter, but also a C-class hunter.
Originally, unique items were so rare and expensive that only strong hunters like Class A usually owned them. If those hunters owned it, they wouldn’t have even dared to look at it.
But an E-class hunter has a unique weapon? Is there any food more delicious than this?
… Should I have renewed my license and raised it to Class D sooner? No, now that I think about it, it probably wouldn’t have made much of a difference even if it was D grade. Now was the time to come up with a solution.
“Hmm.”
Sihyeon frowned and ruffled her hair. His thoughts were leaning toward unique items. Otherwise, I couldn’t think of any reason for the awakened people to move.
When you kill an awakened person, all items in your inventory are dropped. Alternatively, there was a way to threaten the awakened person and force them to take out the items in their inventory and rob them. And I heard that such incidents occur continuously every year.
There were probably quite a few hunters in the special unit who were imprisoned for committing such crimes.
“how will we do it.”
Sihyeon muttered softly.
Should I report it to the police first?
While I was thinking that, something suddenly came into my field of vision.
The foreign girl you bumped into earlier?
Even though I thought it couldn’t be so, I opened my eyes wide and looked closely.
The brown hair, brown eyes, face, and clothes they were wearing were similar.
Sihyeon pressed against the wall without realizing it.
‘Am I right? really? There’s no way I can find it… .’
My mind was still complicated. It even occurred to me that he might simply be someone he resembled.
There is no way I could find it among all these people and so many buildings. No, how did you know about this place before that?
Sihyeon continued to watch the foreign woman’s movements. I also checked to see if anyone was with me. If that woman is the same woman from earlier and her group is there, it is probably the two guys who were hiding in the house earlier.
But the group was nowhere to be seen.
where should we go?
Sihyeon looked at her as if he wouldn’t miss a single movement.
After standing in one place for a while and looking around, she seemed to smile strangely and then started walking. And where she turned her body was in the direction of the cafe building where her vision was located.
‘this way? ‘How on earth?’
Sihyeon’s face hardened. He was wondering how he could have found it, but that didn’t matter right now. Getting out of here was the priority.
That person also knew his face. Then he couldn’t just sit calmly among people. He had to take cover. He couldn’t feel safe being among many people.
The opponent is a notorious person. They said he could be a crazy murderer like a cotton ball technician. Just because he was in front of people, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t use either the male or the female.
Sihyeon got up and hurried out of the cafe.
stairs? elevator?
Which way should I come? Sihyeon thought quickly.
Just then, the door to the 5th floor elevator opened. Sihyeon turned his gaze to quickly check inside the elevator. She was going to run down the stairs right away if she was there.
Right then.
“Gotcha.”
I felt someone place a hand on my shoulder from behind.
