Episode 39

trap (1)

Let’s go back in time a little bit and a few hours before we got the crisis information.

A secret prison cell underground within the association.

Seongdonghak.

A member of Karma’s guild who approached the association to find out the extent to which the brakes were blocked, but ended up getting caught.

He was currently locked in a small cell, tied to a chair with restraints on his limbs. In addition, a special device was attached to his mouth to prevent suicide, so he was unable to move or even speak until someone released him. This is a scene that would be shocking to human rights activists who believe that the human rights of criminals must also be respected. However, Seo Sang-hee was not an idiot who even respected the human rights of terrorists. She did not treat Seong Donghak as a human being.

‘I’m dying.’

No, I would rather die. He was having a truly hellish few days when he was caught by the Association. If what happened to him became known to the outside world, the association could get into quite a bit of trouble.

‘That bitch Seo Sang-hee.’

He was visiting me every day and interrogating me. I was still holding on… I couldn’t be sure what would happen if days like this continued.

‘And calm down… .’

The person who caused him to be held here. The reason he remained silent despite numerous interrogations was entirely because of that guy.

‘The Room of Truth? Where is that ridiculous skill?’

Usually, skills are greatly influenced by talent. In other words, the skills possessed by one user were often similar to each other. If you have a skill that forces the truth, there is a high probability that another skill will be of a similar type. For example, a skill that allows you to discover the truth from the lies you tell.

Seong Donghak was concerned about that, so he didn’t say anything and kept silent. Of course, he was never seen again after that day, but Seong Donghak did not let down his guard. After reassuring himself that he was invisible, he could have been activating those strange skills in the next room.

Although it was very far from the truth, Seong Donghak believed that his guess was correct and was wary of the extent. And even if it wasn’t necessarily the Room of Truth, it was natural to be wary of the extent.

‘That guy’s skills are skills, but how on earth did he know my name?’

He is an assassin. Therefore, it was his habit to always hide his identity, and not many people within the guild knew his real name. Donghak Seong thought carefully about the people in the guild who knew his real name. Only a few of his classmates took assassination lessons, as did several of his immediate superiors.

‘Which of them betrayed?’

However, Seongdonghak thought that possibility was low. They were all loyal believers to their religious leader. Guild members who would smile and sacrifice their lives for karma. Rather than the possibility that they betrayed…

‘no way. ‘Do you have any skills related to that guy’s information?’

The Chamber of Truth was also a skill to obtain information. Could it be that his skills are specialized for information? And the power to stop the break in an A-class dungeon alone?

If so, it was too dangerous.

Even though Karma caused many incidents, he was not easily caught because he left no evidence and even if he was caught, he cut off his tail in an instant. However, the fact that there were users who could know information about this karma was an issue that could never be overlooked.

‘We must inform you.’

Sedation is too dangerous. I need to escape somehow and tell the guild that I need to assassinate him…

Jump and jump.

‘huh?’

Footsteps were heard from afar.

‘this time?’

I can’t know for sure since I’m in solitary confinement, but it’s probably midnight right now. Until now, the association has never visited us at this time. She wondered if they were coming somewhere else rather than towards her, but the sound of footsteps grew louder and she stopped in front of the room she was trapped in.

Fazizik.

With the sound of something breaking, the door to the room where Seong Donghak was trapped opened. And then a man with his face covered with a mask came in. As soon as the man entered the room.

I don’t know what to do.

The sound of the machine breaking down was heard once again. The man said as if he was dumbfounded.

“There are 14 cameras and wiretaps in this small room… Seongdonghak has become a very popular person.”

The man walked towards Seong Donghak and took out a small box from his pocket. He then took out a syringe filled with some liquid from the box and said to Seong Donghak:

“I came from the guild. I’m sorry, but it’s impossible to escape with you. Because we haven’t completely taken control of the inside of the association yet. “The guild has given orders to assassinate you.”

“town!”

is it. Was it you who was going to cut off your own tail this time? There were no complaints. She herself had cut off her tail under orders from the guild, and she was always prepared for situations like this one. For karma, this life was not a waste at all.

however.

‘Calm down! ‘I need to tell you about sedation!’

Even if he died, he had to inform the guild of a threat.

“town!! town!!!”

“hmm? “Do you have something to say?”

After saying that, the man looked at the device stuffed into Seongdonghak’s mouth for a moment and said that he didn’t like it.

“It’s analog. This is too much even for my skills. I want to listen to your will, but… I guess I’ll have to give up. “The guild will not forget your sacrifice.”

‘no! ‘That’s not it!!!’

It is not a will or anything like that. Calm too. You need to know about calmness!

Deep.

Without hesitation, the man stuck the syringe into Seong Donghak’s neck.

“town!!!”

“After a while, the plan to catch Seo Sang-hee, who made you like this, will be implemented. “I’ll make sure you don’t feel lonely on the way.”

‘More than that… Be careful about the level of calm… ‘

After a while, Donghak Seong lowered his head and fell limp. In the end, he met his death with only himself aware of the extent of the disease.

* * * * * *

A little while later, Seong Dong-hak’s assassination was relayed to Seo Sang-hee. She controlled her emotions as much as possible and asked her employee who came to report.

“Who was guarding the detention room?”

“He was found dead. What is unusual is that all electronic devices within a certain distance around the prison cell were damaged. “It was as if a small EMP bomb had exploded.”

“Who entered or left the association before or after the time of the crime?”

“After checking the CCTV, no one was there.”

“… “Check the crime scene thoroughly and report it immediately if you find any clues.”

“yes. All right.”

When the employee left, Sanghee sighed heavily and became lost in thought.

‘It’s the work of an internal spy.’

He was also a spy close to a high-ranking executive. The fact that Seong Donghak was imprisoned was a top secret even within the association, and the location was also a top secret. Secretly infiltrate there and assassinate Seong Donghak? And that in just a few minutes? This was impossible unless it was an internal action.

‘Did you let your guard down?’

no. Assuming there was a spy inside, security was kept tight. The user guarding the prison cell was also classified as B-class. It would have been difficult to secure security beyond this unless Sang-hee herself was in the prison cell 24 hours a day. Of course, he was busy with public affairs, so he couldn’t do that himself.

The fact that Seong Dong-hak was assassinated through tight security meant that the spy inside the association was much bigger than Sang-hee thought. I can’t believe the association is so rotten. Sanghee sighed in frustration.

smart.

“hmm? Come on in.”

Could it be that they just discovered a new clue? Sanghee looked at the door with anticipation, but the person coming in was a separate employee unrelated to the Seongdonghak incident.

“excuse me. manager. “I’m here to inform you that it’s patrol time scheduled for a little while.”

“ah. thank you. “I’ll get ready.”

For a moment, I thought about whether I should personally go on patrol when Seong Donghak died within the association, but I quickly shook my head. Seong Donghak’s assassination had already occurred, and dungeon patrolling was also a very important task at a time when breaks could be created artificially. After the Gangnam Break incident, patrols were greatly strengthened, and it was decided that A-level and higher dungeons would be patrolled by S-level users, so there was no one else to go on behalf of him.

Sanghee gathered his weapons and set out to patrol the dungeon.

It was just two hours before Jeong Do pulled out the crisis information.

* * * * * *

The patrol was almost at an end. There is only one dungeon left. It was a class A dungeon located deep in Dobong Mountain, on the outskirts of Seoul. Sanghee parked his car at the foot of Dobongsan Mountain, gathered his equipment, and climbed the mountain.

‘I’m tired.’

After the brake incident, there was absolutely no time to rest. In addition, she was involved in Seong Donghak, so it was unclear when she had entered the house. If I really had two bodies, I don’t think I would have any wishes. Sanghee grumbled lightly and headed to the dungeon.

at that time.

A strange thing happened.

Dense mana began to spread throughout Dobong Mountain.

“what!?”

Sanghee felt as if her heart was falling from the dense mana that enveloped her. Sanghee had an intuition of what was happening because she had felt it so many times.

brake!

And as soon as he sensed the break, Sanghee realized that he had fallen into a trap. A dungeon break happened by chance as soon as you climbed the mountain? no way. Rather than that, it is more reasonable to think that he waited for him to come here and triggered the dungeon break at the right time. Most likely, an internal spy would have informed Sanghee’s patrol route.

“Karma, you bastards… .”

Wow.

Sanghee gritted his teeth. He is a complete outsider. I knew it was a trap, but I had no choice but to go. If she doesn’t go to stop her brakes, monsters will storm downtown Seoul. Sang-hee was not a person who pushed citizens into danger for her personal safety. Karma took her personality and character into consideration and laid a trap for her. She hastily pulled out the radio.

“This is Dobongsan Dungeon! Break occurs! “Send personnel in as quickly as possible!”

With those words, Sanghee ran towards the dungeon at full speed without the slightest hesitation. And after a while he arrived at the dungeon.

Monsters were coming out one by one from the dungeon we arrived at.

“shit.”

Sanghee cursed when he saw the monster coming out of the dungeon.

Lycanthrope.

It was a difficult Class A monster known for its excellent reflexes, tough skin, and high regenerative ability. Sanghee sensed that it would be a fierce battle and tightened his grip on WarX.

* * * * * *

How much time has passed?

“omg… omg… .”

Sanghee planted the WoX on the ground and leaned against it, breathing heavily. In front of Sanghee, a lycanthrope with much blacker fur than an ordinary lycanthrope had collapsed. Without a doubt, he was the boss of the dungeon.

“Whoa… .”

It was breathtaking.

Of course, for Sanghee, who had the highest combat power among the S-classes, the A-class dungeon was a dungeon that he could clear alone if he had enough time.

However, since it was not a battle inside the dungeon, but a break-in, not a single monster could be missed. Because of this, Sanghee’s body, which had moved much too forcefully, was full of wounds. I wanted to collapse and rest right now, but I couldn’t. Sanghee shouted, glaring at one place.

“It sticks out. “You bastards!”

“Hey. “This is really good for the eyes.”

People hiding behind the trees in the mountains began to appear one by one. It was dark so I couldn’t count them exactly, but the number I could immediately see seemed to be 100. I’m sure there was a number like this hidden there. Sanghee felt empty.

“I heard he is called the guardian deity of the association. It’s a shame. I never imagined they would all be killed so quickly. Tsk tsk.”

The man at the head of the group taunted Sanghee. Sang-hee lifted the War X, trying hard to hide her tired expression.

“joy. “Karma’s bastards.”

“huh? What is karma? I don’t know what you’re talking about. We just… okay. “It’s a gathering of people who hate Seo Sang-hee.”

The people around burst into laughter at the man’s words.

“okay. okay. We’re just people who don’t like your bitch. What is karma? “You’re catching a live person.”

“I hate it so much that I want to tear it to death right now.”

It was clearly making fun of Sanghee. Sang-hee is exhausted and they are in an overwhelming situation with hundreds of people. Nevertheless, it was karmic to hide his identity until the end.

‘If only I could hold on just a little longer!’

I contacted the association, so support will come. You just have to hold on until then. Sanghee thought so and aimed his War X. But the man in the lead cruelly shattered Sang-hee’s expectations.

“Oh, perhaps. If you are waiting for support from the association… “Have you not thought that there are people within the association who dislike Seo Sang-hee?”

“… … .”

Sanghee gritted his teeth in silence. The situation was hopeless. Judging from the opponent’s prayers, this group is made up of at least C grade. Even in perfect conditions, it is difficult to guarantee survival with this number, much less in an exhausted state. Unless there is a miracle, this will be her grave.

“So you should have behaved well. In times like this, there is no one to help… .”

Deep.

“… uh?”

The man who was busy talking slowly looked down at his chest. A sword had pierced his chest.

“… Cough.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. “Because I will save it.”

dump.

A man who had been stabbed in the chest collapsed. Only then did the group, who realized what was going on, shout.

“Oh my gosh!”

“what! who is this!”

The man who suddenly appeared swung his sword quickly again, paying no heed to the reactions of those around him.

“Kaaak!”

“Ugh! “My arm!”

The man cut down three enemies around him in an instant. And he quickly moved to Sanghee’s side.

“Team leader, are you okay?”

“yes? Ah yes!”

“I’m glad I wasn’t late. “Let’s put out the urgent fire first.”

The man who saved Sang-hee from a desperate crisis.

Jeong-do pointed his sword at the enemies with an indifferent expression.
