Episode 176
Hwang Ga-on was a warrior player with quite a famous name.
Despite his large size, he was quite agile and a hybrid user who could both damage and tank.
In addition, he had a great sense of battle, so he often did the work of two people by himself.
‘I’ve almost never lost, especially in one-on-one combat.’
With an Infinity duel win rate of over 90%, there’s no need to explain how great of a player he is.
That is why Hwang Ga-on was interested in others and naturally knew about the reputation of the swordsman An Su-ho.
Especially the monster that broke several sealed gates alone.
However, most of the sealed gates that were hatched were of a low level, and I couldn’t help but think that they had used a trick.
‘And then there’s the inspector player who suddenly appeared like a comet and was selected as a 5th-grade special recruit. Anyone can see that this is a project player being raised by the government, right?’
It wasn’t just Hwang Ga-on’s guess.
It was one of the famous conspiracy theories that stuck with Suho, even though Suho had no idea about it.
As the conspiracy theory says, Suho suddenly appeared like a comet and started doing some truly absurd things.
So I wanted to meet you sometime.
To be exact, I wanted to meet you once and try to get involved.
But who knew that opportunity would present itself now?
Hwang Ga-on, who had quickly closed the distance, brought his twin axes together and pulled them behind his head, striking them down like a hammer.
It was his patented and signature technique, the ‘thunder stamp’.
‘It’s over!’
With that thought, the twin axes struck Suho.
Suho didn’t move.
He stood there and watched the double axes fall on him.
Hwang Ga-on was confident of victory as he watched Su-ho, who was not moving.
Because I thought that at this distance and with this level of reaction speed, there was absolutely no way to avoid my attacks.
But at that moment.
Crunch!
A clean cutting sound.
what?
Am I mistaken?
But I heard it clearly.
A sharp, cutting sound that hits my ears.
It was a very small cutting sound that only he who was there could hear.
But the sword in front of me is still?
That was when.
“uh?”
Suho’s expression, which had been quietly looking up at himself, changed.
It was because Suho, who had clearly been standing still, suddenly had his sword blade passing by him.
Even the direction extending from the inside to the outside.
I was in that orbit.
That’s why it was more questionable.
Because if you see the blade extending outwards, it clearly means that he has cut himself.
But I don’t feel anything?
Just as my thoughts reached this point, a strange phenomenon occurred.
I suddenly felt weak.
At the same time, the twin axes that had been falling like lightning suddenly floated up like feathers caught in the wind.
A fleeting moment.
For a moment, time passed slowly.
and.
thud!
The axe, which had risen like a feather, crashed to the sides, making a heavy noise.
It was cut down with the axe handle.
“… … !”
Hwang Ga-on’s actions were carried out as is.
In the thunderclap pose, both arms were lowered from above.
But nothing happened to Suho who entered that trajectory.
If there is any change, it is only in the posture of the guardian with the sword stretched out to the side.
But the decision was made with that one agreement just a little while ago.
Suho said as he took back the sword he had stretched out.
“He tried to cut off both my arms, but I held it back with an axe.”
“… … .”
Hwang Ga-on froze in that position as if he had seen the eyes of Medusa.
Because it was so shocking.
It was me… … Of all people, it was me who used that Thunder Strike and I got cut down with the twin axes?
It was something that clearly happened before my eyes and I felt it with my whole body, but it took some time for me to fully accept the fact.
And only after reviewing the situation over and over again as if reminiscing, did Hwang Ga-on feel the chills running down his spine.
dump!
Hwang Ga-on, exhausted, kneels down in that position.
My legs gave out and I collapsed without realizing it.

“How could this be… … .”
It was a sight that Hwang Ga-on’s fans would absolutely not believe.
He was nicknamed the Viking because he was always aggressive and never gave up fighting, along with using dual axes. But it is surprising that Hwang Ga-on lost his will to fight and fell to his knees after just one attack.
But it had to be that way.
Hwang Ga-on was a skilled player, so-called a master.
That is why I felt an overwhelming gap that others cannot easily feel.
okay.
It was a wall.
A wall of that kind that I have encountered only a few times in my life.
It was the kind of primal overwhelming feeling I felt when I was in elementary school and got beaten up by middle schoolers.
Looking at the dazed Hwang Ga-on, Su-ho finally retrieved the blood sword.
Then he looked down at the kneeling Hwang Ga-on and clicked his tongue.
“This guy with such good sense has been living his life so selfishly.”
It was a pity.
If he had been gentle and not so arrogant, he could have been a better hunter and contributed to the end of the Gate.
But now there were too many eyes watching to pretend it never happened, and two walls had already been torn down.
Moreover, he tried to kill Suho more than anything else.
This was a fatal sin that could not be picked up again.
Suho pointed to several acupoints on the unconscious Hwang Ga-on.
The acupuncture points that were pointed were the central acupoints.
First of all, Suho took away the chewing power from Hwang Ga-on’s jaw.
And he took away the strength in his grip so that he couldn’t hold things properly, and he took away the strength in his waist so that he couldn’t move his legs.
If you do this much, you will be mercilessly torn apart by the two dragons guarding the Cheongok.
Suho finally put the guy to sleep by touching his sleeping spot and asked a nameless investigator who was blankly staring at him.
“You didn’t fill the restraints?”
“Yes, I filled it up. But I asked you to take it off because I needed to go to the bathroom for a moment… … .”
“No, but what if you just release the restraints of high-level players?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you would act so rashly like this because you’re such a famous person. I’m so sorry.”
“Tsk tsk, no matter what, it’s like that. This is a big issue, so you can’t avoid punishment. That’s enough, I’ll put you in custody again.”
The investigator quickly put Hwang Ga-on in custody with a sad expression on his face.
Suho watched the scene for a moment, then exclaimed, “Ah!” and took out his cell phone to take a few pictures.
At that moment, Seung-Hwan Kim, who had been watching from afar like an investigator, approached and spoke.
“Hey, Hunter, are you okay?”
“Haven’t you seen it? I’m fine.”
“Oh, yes, that’s true, but… … .”
“I heard that the investigator was tricked into releasing him from custody. So I hope you don’t say too much. Oh, and in that sense, I will also publish the article about Hwang Ga-on. Okay.”
Suho was finally able to leave after finishing his work.
And after Suho left, Seunghwan Kim slowly opened the interrogation room door and went in only after seeing that Suho had completely disappeared.
The investigation room was a mess.
There was no trace of blood or dirt, but the desks and chairs were all overturned.
Among them, the most impressive was Park Gyu-min.
As soon as Park Gyu-min heard the loud noise outside, he was so scared that he crouched in the corner of the investigation room with his hair still disheveled.
Kim Seung-hwan, who saw that, said as he pulled the desk back and put it back.
“… … Let’s eat first. I think we have a lot to talk about.”
Park Gyu-min nods quietly, his chin trembling.

dawn.
Jo Jin-hwi returned home after a long time, washed up, and got ready for bed.
Now, I just have to wait, so I left the officetel and came to Kaiser Cheongdam.
So, I had a drink and felt good, and was about to fall asleep.
Wheeing!
The phone rang.
It was a guardian.
Jo Jin-hwi sat up and answered the phone.
“Yes, sir!”
– Are you busy?
“Oh, no. I was just having a drink and getting ready for bed.”
– Do you drink alcohol when you sleep?
“I just felt like I was leaving work… … So what’s going on?”
– I’m contacting you because the first preparations are almost done. Now I just need to get the article out there… … If you were planning to sleep, why don’t you sleep for now and meet up in the morning or at lunchtime?
“Oh, no! Let’s meet right now! Where are you now?”
– I’m on my way up to Seoul from Suwon. I’ll go to your house. Is it Kaiser? Officetel?
“This is Kaiser.”
– Then I’ll go there. See you later.
It was after the call ended.
“and…….”
Jo Jin-hwi looked at his watch once and then looked at his cell phone again.
It’s almost 4 o’clock in the morning.
I drank quite a bit, thinking I would pass out from the alcohol, but then I came to my senses.
But no matter how hard I tried to come to my senses, I had taken a hot shower and had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, so it seemed like it would be difficult to stay conscious using normal methods.
“Ha… … Should I do something?”
I was worried.
I think I’ll be able to keep my wits about me if I throw up the alcohol I drank.
At that moment, my cell phone vibrated.
It was a text from Suho.
However, Jo Jin-hui’s eyes widened when he saw the text message.
“Hey, isn’t this Hwang Ga-on?”
Hwang Ga-on is lying unconscious and wearing restraints.
After that, broken hallway walls and such were visible.
At that time, a small nameplate with the words ‘Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office’ written on it was visible on one side of the photo.
“Huh, huh?!”
Is this the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office?!
It was the moment when the alcohol completely sobered me up.
***
A few hours later in the morning.
– Shocking! Group gambling by famous celebrities and athletes!
– A, a movie actress known for her innocent and pitiful appearance, has the largest kit room in Gangnam…
– Athlete B, deeply shocked by his involvement in a domestic kit room…
– What is a kit room? Everyone is shocked by the group gambling discovered in Suwon… …
Articles pouring in from the morning.
It was all PBS.
Suho supplied the source only to Jo Jin-hwi, and Jo Jin-hwi quickly gathered his lines that he trusted and commanded, and prepared a large bomb from the morning.
And the results were hot.
– Wow, are you crazy?
– I thought there was only an overseas version of the jacket room, but it also operates in Korea? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Oh, damn athlete B. Surely it’s not Bang Ja-wook?
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I heard that A is Lee Eun-ah. If it’s really Lee Eun-ah, what about the movie that’s coming out soon? ㅋㅋㅋ
Hot reactions.
But that was nothing compared to the news that broke around lunchtime.
– It is known that the famous hunter Hwang Ga-on is also included among the members of Gangnam Jungkitbang…
– Prime of the Guild belonging to Hwang Ga-on, “We had no idea about this.”
– Hwang Ga-on even caused a ruckus at the prosecution!
The article about Hwang Ga-on was deliberately published late.
Because articles about the Awakened tend to be more topical than articles about the general public.
– Hey, Gaon is such a manly man. He should beat up all the prosecutors like a man.
– The descendants of the Vikings are different
– I guess we should hold a funeral in Viking style.
– Gaon, come on!
– Ah ㅠㅠㅠㅠ What the f*ck, what should I do with my brother ㅠㅠㅠㅠ That’s why I told him to calm down and live ㅠㅠㅠ He really became a Viking while doing Viking
Suho smiled as he confirmed the burning public opinion.
okay.
If we keep the topic alive like this, it won’t burn brightly when the Park Gyu-min issue breaks out.
Suho, who was checking the time, called Seunghwan Kim.
– Yes, Hunter.
“Are you done with the investigation?”
– Yes, I have received all the documents and am putting him to sleep in my office. I have also placed an investigator next to him.
“Okay. I’ll break the news sometime in the evening, so prepare to respond with the materials I sent you. I’ll send someone to pick up Park Gyu-min before then.”
– all right.
After finishing the call, Suho turned his gaze to see Jo Jin-hwi sleeping on the sofa.
And after checking the time, he woke up Jo Jin-hwi.
“Reporter.”
“… … .”
“Reporter?”
“Gasp, huh, uh, yep?!”
“Get up. It’s time to start preparing the evening report. The investigation into Park Gyu-min is over.”
“Ah… … Aaaah… … .”
Jo Jin-hwi gets up like a zombie and sits down at his desk again.
At that moment, Jo Jin-hwi’s body began to glow, and Jo Jin-hwi, surprised, looked at Su-ho as he looked at his own glowing body.
Suho said with a smile.
“Don’t be surprised, it’s just a heel.”
“Ah… … Hill… … .”
“Good luck, reporter.”
“go for it…….”
Jo Jin-hui opens his laptop with a sad expression.
