284. Talent sometimes becomes a curse. (2)
There are two friends who take out knives from their arms, leaving their money and playing cards behind.
The person who grew protrusions instead of hair actually took a step back and crossed his arms.
Looking at his posture, he seemed to be the leader among the three.
“police?”
The man standing on the left asked with a Gyeongsang-do accent. It was an ordinary person.
“You look young.”
It’s the man on the right. This is also an ordinary person.
The only person I could talk to was a man with a protruding head. They are a special species with superpowers and are like leaders.
Without even having to guess that it was a special species with superpowers, I recognized it at a glance because of its hairstyle.
Who walks around with hair like that?
“Is this the wanderer you sent?”
You talk a lot.
I kept my mouth shut and showed it with my actions.
A kick to the ground and two jabs.
I hit it left and right in a balanced manner. I hit with moderate force.
Phew! Yep!
Patter.
Yellow teeth flutter in the air. In the dim lighting, teeth falling, blood spattering, two men falling off their feet with a single jab, flying backwards and overturning several tables.
Both of their limbs were shaking and then fainted.
“Why are you so weak?”
I muttered.
I tried to show only a moderate difference in skill, but he fainted in one hit.
Force control failure. This was because I kept thinking about the battle with the Blue Knight in my head.
So I put in a little more effort than usual.
I was taking a clumsy fighting stance while recovering my fist when I heard a voice.
“… … What are you?”
A man with a protruding head, who was watching the situation with his arms crossed, holds a knife in both hands.
“I came looking for a friend. “Can you help me?”
Seeing him like that, I asked him a favor.
“f*ck you, what kind of scheme is this, knocking down people as soon as they arrive?”
This guy doesn’t use dialect.
I made eye contact with the man with the protruding head.
“You know my second-hand brother, right?”
“Kim Jung-go?”
It’s a know-it-all. The man frowned at my words, then straightened them again.
It was only for a moment, but it seemed like I was swearing a lot of words in my mind.
“I’d like to find someone, and I’ll pay for it. “And the medical expenses for those two.”
I was a bit impatient and started off too aggressively, but I came here to make the right deal anyway.
I came to the back alley world to buy information, so I couldn’t just destroy it all.
“Do you often ask for favors like this? “If it were you, would you listen?”
“My name is Kang Hye-min. Her mother and daughter moved together.”
“What are you talking about, you crazy guy?”
I lost contact with Hyemin, and in the meantime, the guy who answered the phone told me not to cross the line. He thought that he really wanted to see the face of the guy who said that, and his head naturally turned.
I wonder if there are only one or two people going to and from Busan.
In the past, Prometheus called this place one of the meccas of drugs.
That means it is a good place to hide and do something.
In fact, some people set up a drug manufacturing lab on a cargo ship floating on the sea.
It’s easy to hide, and Busan isn’t a very small area.
It’s difficult to find someone just by their name.
then?
There are many clues. All you have to do is search based on those clues.
Hye-min’s mother is a major figure in the black market.
And Hyemin served as a problem solver in the freelance market.
Those two must have had a known connection.
What were Hyemin and her mother trying to find out?
The search time will vary depending on it.
“Stop that bullshit. Where am I… … .”
“if.”
I stopped talking and opened my mouth.
“Has any team or person related to spells or magic ever entered Busan? Any traces?”
I asked and thought. He said it would be a good idea to call the police, that is, Team Leader Jihye’s sister, and get that information as well.
The man with the protruding head paused for a moment. There was a hint of embarrassment. He’s pretty good at hiding his expressions, but he couldn’t fool my eyes.
An immortal’s senses are difficult to fool unless you are a born liar.
Fortunately, this man wasn’t at that level either.
“It looks like you know something.”
He said with a smile and put his finger on the table next to him.
If I had time, I would scold you well.

I was in a bit of a hurry.
It would be quicker to show the power of a close fist than the law.
I thought this would be on the polite side in the back alley world.
Crack.
I grabbed the end of the table and lifted it up. It is a thick wooden table that will become a crown over the opponent’s head if it is not suitable.
“Bloody hell, who are you?”
The other person said while breaking into a cold sweat.
While holding the table, I revealed my identity.
“Yoo Kwang-ik, NS representative.”
At those words, the man with the protruding head blinked and asked back.
“Blue Knight Slayer?”
That’s what they call it these days, so I nodded.
The man’s eyes blinked faster. His hand holding his sword went weak.
“That Blue Knight Slayer? Sechoiteuk?”
I also used polite language.
“Yes, that Blue Knight Slayer, Sechoeteuk.”
Then the man looked at my face. As he rolled his eyes as if checking his appearance, the man let out a helpless sigh and opened his mouth.
“Tell me right away.”
Treatment changed with just one name. He puts away his sword and places his hands between his crotches. The man’s attitude became much more polite.
“What are you looking for?”
“Is suddenly becoming friendly the intelligence concept here?”
“It’s Se Choi-teuk, right? I’ve seen your face on the screen. But now, during a press conference in Seoul, you said you were going on a business trip and you came here? “You’re walking around to the point where I tell Hong Gil-dong to go away.”
Whatever it was, it was a friendly change, so I said what I had to say.
“Please find someone.”
To be exact, he said he was looking for a wizard.
Then the other person scratched his head.
Something white fell between the bumps.
“It’s not dandruff. “This is my superpower, but dead skin cells form between the bumps.”
Isn’t that dandruff?
Anyway, since Hyemin mother and daughter have come to Busan, all we have to do is somehow follow the traces of the order.
There was no need for details. A few clues were enough.
A man who was scratching his head to remove dead skin cells or dandruff noticed me.
“Please state your name from the beginning.”
The man with the protruding head glanced at his two colleagues.
The two people who collapsed have not yet woken up.
“Okay, I’m sorry about that. So there was no incident related to the order?”
“Why are you asking that here?”
“I heard it deals with information.”
“Yes, but.”
Things that happen in the shadows sometimes don’t make it into the news and are buried. Even if it was a pretty big deal, it could have been possible.
In particular, isn’t the world of spells and magic one of the dark places?
So that’s what I came here for.
“You don’t want to talk about it?”
First is force, then fame, and third is money.
I threw the wad of cash on the table.
At a glance, it is several million won.
If I thought they would grant all my demands just for the sake of their name, I wouldn’t have used force from the beginning.
Oh, of course, I didn’t expect that just my name would change the other person’s attitude this much.
In any case, the power of money was also effective.
The man revealed a secret.
“Have you ever heard of a spell hunter?”
My ears perked up. Of course, she maintained a calm expression on the outside.
They are spell hunters, the ones who hunt down one-man spell creators in the magical world.
“If you go here, there will be a few of them.”
It was a clue.
* * *
“Se choe special?”
The speaker voice wizard muttered.
All five of them had their hoods pressed down so much that it was difficult to recognize their faces.
It was inside an office on the second floor of the factory where they were hiding out.
“Blue Knight Slayer?”
Extermination of the Named is equally surprising even in the magical world.
“Didn’t Prometheus put a bounty on you?”
“Five billion.”
“Not bad.”
“He has wide feet and the ability to move. “We have already reached one of the subgroups.”
“I don’t think he’s a troublesome enemy.”
The four of them were talking and looking at one person.
“You crossed the line even though I warned you.”
As the young voice opened its mouth, the other four fell silent.
“You will have to pay for that.”
Spells are fatal to special species who are illiterate in magic.
Even if the Blue Knight Slayer can crush a person’s head with a single punch, it is meaningless if he doesn’t get hit.
As long as you are a special species or a human, you cannot simply deal with a high-level wizard.
They believed so.
Five wizards.
When divided into high, middle, and low, these people were intermediate or higher level spell users.
One of them is a spell user who has reached advanced level.
They were not afraid of a single special species.
Rather, I saw this as an opportunity.
“They said even mad scientists covet it. “If you line up there, Prometheus will give you twice as much money.”
said one of the hoods.
A wizard is always short of money.
It costs money to learn spells, and it costs money to experiment.
The magic group costs twice as much as the mad science group.
What’s the point if it’s not money, to a team of spell hunters living in the shadows?
So, I didn’t care about anything that would make me money.
Even more so when the opponent is determined to attack.
Rather than letting it go and getting stabbed in the back, it would have been better to step forward and deal with it first.
“Lure it out.”
A wizard with a young voice spoke and stood up.
He went out and headed to the place where Kang Hye-min was locked up. He placed his hand on the door and muttered, causing a small tremor in the door.
The door was locked with a spell.
Tdddddddd.
The poorly made iron door was in contact with the floor and made an unpleasant sound every time it was opened and closed.
Hyemin woke up to the sound and opened her eyes.
In the corner of the warehouse, his limbs are tied with gold rope.
Thanks to this, I couldn’t use any of my magic power.
Hyemin, unable to use magical powers, was just a woman obsessed with martial arts.
“Mom is?”
The wizard didn’t answer.
I just stared blankly.
Inside the hood were eyes that shined like glass.
The eyes reflected the dim light like diamonds.
“If anything happens to my mom, I will kill her.”
The wizard doesn’t answer. Because there is no reason for that.
He just looked at the game he had caught.
Twenty years of experience as a spell hunter and bounty hunter.
It was the object of pursuit for fifteen years.
He ran away with the baby and was eventually caught.
Of course, there were a lot of sacrifices made in the process of catching it.
There are twelve dead wizards.
Among them, there are three intermediate level spell users.
One-tenth of the team’s strength was lost.
Still, I’m happy.
The bounty for Sechoeteuk is only 5 billion, but this one is truly a treasure.
“Hehe, well, I guess you’ll be fine, Mom. I got it because I was jealous of my mother’s abilities in the first place. right?”
Mix provocation and questions. It seemed like he wanted to hear some kind of answer.
The wizard didn’t answer.
“You son of a bitch.”
Hyemin cursed.
Still, the wizard did not exert any restraint.
Because touching a product is something only amateurs do.
He turned around and headed to the spell creator he had set aside.
This one was handled pretty rough.
When I told him to lure his daughter, he really didn’t listen.
Even though I broke both my legs, I didn’t listen.
“The fortune telling was a mess, but I pushed ahead. It seemed like there was a path within the evil. “I guess it was a mistake.”
My complexion has turned white and I’m breaking into a cold sweat. Since your body is not trained, the pain of a broken bone would be enough to make you faint.
No emergency measures were taken.
Hyemin’s mother, Kim Joo-hee, also did not make any specific requests.
I wasn’t the person to listen to in the first place.
“I see.”
The wizard opens his mouth.
“What did you think about selling the trap?”
“I didn’t think about it.”
“sure?”
Kim Joo-hee had a question. It was clearly a trap. A trap that predicted the wizard was targeting him.
Thanks to you, I got a big deal.
The future is variable. This was not accomplished in the realm of foresight.
Moreover, no one can predict the future on such a micro level.
The other person expected him to come.
How is that possible?
“I was worried that they might target me at some point, so I prepared every time.”
Oh, you horrible bastard.
Kim Joo-hee cursed inwardly. Isn’t this a trap that has been carefully dug every time?
A trap that you may or may not catch?
It seems like a waste of resources wasted there.
“What you want is an elixir, right? “I can make it for you.”
“If you could make it, you would have made it a long time ago and defeated me.”
That is correct.
What the other person wants is something you cannot provide.
Actually, even if I know about it, I have no intention of making it.
That is an affair. You can’t use great spells if you go down that path.
What would happen to a person if they lie down for the rest of their life just because it’s comfortable?
That’s what infidelity was like.
I cut my life short to make the path I can walk on go faster.
Sometimes, it allows you to take a step down a path you cannot take.
In Western terms, it could be called black magic.
“happy. “I grabbed the final magic weapon with my own hands.”
The wizard spoke and Kim Joo-hee appeared calm on the outside, but felt dizzy on the inside.
She wanted to cry.
* * *
“A wizard?”
An immortal’s senses are sharp.
I followed a lead and met a spellcaster.
I stuck my fist in the face.
Sigh.
“Knock.”
From previous experience, the power control is perfect.
I only broke a few teeth. There is no such thing as flying off and hitting a wall.
The punch prevented the man who was trying to do tricks from doing so anymore.
The other person looked quite embarrassed because they suddenly entered the apartment.
At that moment of panic, I swung my fist.
It was probably like that for me too. It was natural to be surprised if someone suddenly tore off the 18th floor balcony window and entered.
Whiiiiing!
The sea breeze of Busan caresses my back. It was a wind that smelled of salt.
I turned my back to the window and crouched down in front of my fallen friend.
“Do you know him?”
A hologram appeared in front of the person who was crying as if he was in so much pain.
Hyemin’s face is with her cheeks puffed out.
The man shook his head.
“Mo, Mora.”
Pronunciation leaks. As I was leaving that guy like that, someone pointed a gun at the back of my head from behind.
“This is a completely crazy kid.”
He was a spellcaster with impressive blue eyes who had completed the Gyeongsang Province language patch.
