“Harang, where is the mail?”
“I’m in the next room. Follow me.”
Yuharang took me to the next room.
Inside, the puppets were diligently organizing the interior.
As Yu Harang instructed, the puppets brought a large box and placed it in front of me.
-Koosh!
“Moot!”
“This is all the mail that came to you.”
Inside the box were dozens of envelopes and document envelopes.
It would take a while to go through all the contents, but that wasn’t the problem.
-Koosh!
“I can’t!”
“This also came to you.”
Again the puppet put down the box.
The table was full of boxes of documents, and the floor was also piled high with them.
Starting with the mail, various parcels were piled up, reminiscent of a small post office.
“We have excluded all malicious comments and dangerous materials, so you can check with confidence.”
There might have been some suspicious things mixed in, but thanks to Yuharang, I felt reassured.
I took out one of the envelopes in front of me and looked at its contents.
The content of wanting to enter the secret room was written densely over several pages.
“Is this a membership application form?”
“Yes. From here to there, these are letters sent asking to enter the secret garden.”
Although Bihomun does not officially recruit members, there were those who tried to seize the opportunity somehow.
Because of this, out-of-date paper letters were pouring out every day.
At first glance, it looked like there were hundreds of them.
“What should we do? If you don’t want to recruit members, we’ll break up the sect.”
“No, don’t break it.”
Human resources are also a valuable resource.
There was no reason to kick out people who came in to fight on their own feet.
Yuharang tilted his head as if he was puzzled.
“Are you planning to increase the number of members of the sect? Increasing the number of members is good, but I don’t think there will be anyone who will truly fight with you.”
“That’s right. I didn’t even expect it to go that far in the first place.”
I guess they all came here because they saw Bihomun’s reputation.
If that’s the case, then you just have to use it in a different way.
“Contact all of these people. The reply should be… .”
* * *
In front of the building, office workers wearing ID cards around their necks were gathered together and smoking cigarettes.
His shoulders were hunched over with fatigue and there were dark circles around his eyes.
A man exhaled smoke from his cigarette with a sigh.
“Sigh, I’m dying to get off work. Even though I work like this, I only get paid a pittance.”
“The team leader next door who quit is now a hunter, right? I heard famous hunters earn tens of millions of won a month… … .”
The mood became even darker when the story of a successful hunter who quit his job came up.
A man exhaled a long puff of smoke from his cigarette.
“I’m so jealous. I spent a lot of money on the test, but it’s only a first-class product, so even if I become a hunter, it won’t make a difference… .”
“Ha, I’ve never been more envious of people with good fate ratings.”
“Me too. They say my fortune would have been better if I had been born just two hours later… … .”
“I guess the kids born these days are lucky. They’re born on a good date and time?”
After the Sajuchang began to appear, the social climate began to change.
Before the child was born, an auspicious date was determined in advance and efforts were made to ensure that the child was born on that date.
It used to be something that happened, but now it’s almost a necessary ritual.
“I wish my parents had given me a lucky day before I was born… … I can’t be born again.”
“Still, cheer up. Seo Kang-rim, he was originally a third-ranked person, right? But seeing how he became so strong, I wonder if it’s possible to become strong even with a low fate rank.”
There was also much talk in the community about his origins.
Who would have thought that someone with a fortune as low as a bug could be so successful?
Some have even called him the king of dirt and bugs.
While we were comforting each other and complaining like that, lunch time was almost over.
One man stretched his body and spoke in an irritated voice.
“Ugh, I don’t want to go in. I’d rather have the devil show up and destroy the company.”
“Okay. Now that I’m done with work… … .”
-Kwaaaaang!
At that moment, a loud crashing sound was heard nearby.
A giant demon’s face appeared between the buildings as people poured out screaming.
The company employees were shocked at the sight.
“Hey, crazy! You really showed up?!”
-Koooooo!
The demons bared their teeth and rushed into the surrounding buildings.
The sight of the company’s main gate being smashed open was so dramatic that there was no time to rejoice.

It was only in an instant that the peaceful, free, and boring cityscape turned into hell.
As the demons that overflowed from the door ran wild, people could only curse their fate.
“Eww, everyone run away!”
“Report to the protection agency quickly!”
Some people ran away, while others hid and watched the scene with bated breath.
The lips that had been leisurely smoking a cigarette just a moment ago were now trembling with fear.
The two office workers were hiding behind a nearby building.
“Protectorate, when is the Protectorate coming… … .”
All a normal person with no taste could do was hide and run away.
It would take at least 10 more minutes for the protectorate to arrive.
At that moment, the screams of a demon were heard from nearby.
-Kuaaaak!
It was a groan of pain, not a roar of victory.
I saw the demons fall along with the smell of blood.
Only then did color appear on the faces of those who had been hiding.
“Protectorate, is the Protectorate here?”
“How did you get here so quickly… … . Huh?”
Everyone thought that the Protectorate’s messenger had come to visit, but instead, strangers were standing there.
He wasn’t wearing a mask or a suit.
However, it seemed as if they all belonged to the same group, and they were slaughtering the demons while wearing the same jacket.
On the back of the jacket was a sentence I had never seen before, a sentence depicting a sword.
At that moment, one of the hunters wearing a jacket approached the company employee.
“Ah, Mr. Lee!”
The office worker looked bewildered at the sight of the hunter approaching him, but realized it later.
It was the team leader of the team next door who resigned after being judged as a hunter.
The company employee asked, looking embarrassed.
“Team Leader Park?! How is Team Leader Park here… … .”
“I entered the secret room!”
It was surprising that I met you as a hunter, but you entered the secret room?
The latter was more surprising than the former.
As the rescuers were panicking, Hunter, who had been called by Team Leader Park, smiled awkwardly.
“Oh, to be exact, I’m not a formal member of the Bihomun sect… … . They accepted me as a disciple. During the training period, I will be subduing demons.”
“Wh, student… … ?”
“Yes. It’s kind of like an internship.”
It was surprising that even a disciple or an intern could enter the secret room.
At that moment, Team Leader Park hurriedly stood up as the sharp cries of a demon were heard from nearby.
“The area hasn’t been cleared yet. Please evacuate carefully!”
The disciples of Bihomun quickly stepped forward to deal with the demons.
The company employees were watching the scene blankly.
The sentence behind my back was clearly engraved in my eyes.
-Kki, kkiiik… … .
The last demon fell, leaving behind a final cry.
The disciples were pulling out the fallen demons and examining the injured.
Just when the situation was almost settled, the messengers arrived.
“What the heck is this… … ?”
“How did you get it all sorted out?”
The messengers looked at the scene with bewildered faces.
Not only were all the demons killed, but the rescue of civilians and post-mortem care were also underway.
At that moment, a loud voice was heard from nearby.
“Hello, Annabi Chasa! It’s been a while!”
The person who spoke to Annabi was Jang Tae-heon.
Even though a rather fierce battle had taken place, he did not seem tired at all.
Annabi bowed her head slightly.
“Hello, Mr. Jang Tae-heon. It’s been a while. Could you tell me what’s going on?”
“As you can see, we’ve finished cleaning up everything at the shelter. The number of demons has increased recently, so we’ve also started relief work.”
Annabi glanced at the hunters around her.
Everyone was wearing the same uniform, and Jang Tae-heon was wearing the same thing.
Looking at them, they all seemed to be quite capable.
“It looks like Bihomun is finally recruiting new members. Fortunately, there seem to be no casualties.”
Annabi said with a slightly relieved expression.
It doesn’t matter who it is, the job is to save people.
She spoke to Jang Tae-heon.
“The demon has been dealt with, but we need to determine which buildings and roads have been damaged. Please cooperate.”
“Of course, I understand.”
In the end, the messengers had no choice but to just handle the aftermath and step down.
It was a good result to have Bihomun do the work they were supposed to do, but strangely, it made them feel bad.
Some people looked displeased at having their achievements taken away, but they didn’t say anything.
After finishing his work neatly, Bihomun returned to the building.
“Team 2, we finished the subjugation and returned!”
Jang Tae-heon entered Seo Kang-rim’s private room and reported in a loud voice.
Seo Kang-rim glanced at the message on his terminal.
“I guess it ended well. How was it?”
“It was gum. I learned a lot from the guardian angel this time. I also got new equipment.”
Among those who had been to the new mission, the one who achieved the conditions and returned the fastest was Jang Tae-heon.
Moreover, he came back with his ability level raised to 70, not 65.
I could tell how much he had suffered.
“I’m glad the Guardian gave you the piece of vision. And you didn’t use it right away either.”
“Since you are a regressor, I thought you might know what kind of power the scroll is connected to. That’s why I brought it without using it.”
Jang Tae-heon smiled happily.
As he expected, Seo Kang-rim knew not only the rat’s abilities, but also the other zodiac abilities.
Thanks to that, Jang Tae-heon was able to obtain the rare snake’s ability.
“By the way, I saw on my way here that news had already appeared in the community. Everyone was talking about us.”
At this moment, a message indicating an increase in recognition appeared before Seo Kang-rim’s eyes.
The community was constantly talking about the secret code.
-Ah, I really thought I was going to lose, but I survived. Bihomun came and wiped out the demons again.
-You came faster than the protectorate?
-It seems like Bihomun is now participating in rescue activities. He is truly a true hero of this era.
The public was expecting a hero to solve this danger.
If he played that role, his recognition would rise quickly, but there were also problems.
Seo Kang-rim is one person, and demons are appearing all over the place.
If you go around trying to catch all those demons, you can’t help but neglect the work of investigating the Protectorate.
But there were many people who would do the work for him.
‘There were hundreds of people who wanted to enter the secret garden.’
There was no reason to turn away those who came to me saying they would do the work for me.
However, since he had no intention of accepting them as formal members of the sect, he selected people and accepted them as disciples.
And the condition that Seo Kang-rim gave them was one.
[Our sect was created to protect people. We intend to accept as members those who are willing to fight for the weak rather than the strong.]
But it was a lie.
