<[Episode 18] Albakgi (3)>
“Team Leader 3 is a vampire?”
“okay.”
It was an unbelievable fact.
however.
‘Jaehyun’s words.’
I couldn’t help but believe it.
Even so, the leader of the group of survivors is a vampire.
Could this really be a coincidence?
‘Something feels uneasy.’
At that time, Kim Geon was thinking with a serious expression.
Park Sae-rom said, swallowing a hollow laugh.
“Are you joking?”
“no.”
Park Sae-rom answered Kim Geon’s firm answer half in doubt.
“…Okay, I understand. I’ll believe you, because that’s what you say.”
Although she wasn’t sure, Park Sae-rom made her position clear.
“So, what should I do?”
“Do you believe what I say when we’ve only known each other for a day?”
“I believe in your abilities.”
Park Sae-rom added with a sly smile.
“If something goes wrong and we get kicked out, you’ll take responsibility for us, right?”
“I promise.”
Park Sae-rom, who had been staring at Kim Geon, narrowed her eyes and asked.
“But did you originally wear glasses?”
“…How did you know?”
“That’s because you always make that gesture of lifting your glasses.”
“…ah.”
Park Sae-rom asked excitedly.
“Why aren’t you wearing it now? Did you have LASIK or something?”
“…my eyesight improved as I gained the ability.”
It wasn’t like I got better enough to take off my glasses from the beginning.
After gaining the ability to summon crows, his eyesight seemed to have gotten better and better, but after making a contract with Kim Jae-hyun and becoming one with the crow, he was able to completely regain his eyesight.
Even in normal times, you will have outstanding eyesight.
‘It’s all thanks to Jaehyun.’
To be honest, until then, I felt like I was floating around because my role within the party wasn’t clear, but now I have a clear position as a scout.
The reason I volunteered to come here was to have Kim Jae-hyun recognize my own worth.
“But really, what should we do? If Team Leader 3 really is a vampire, we have to do something about it.”
Kim Geon briefed, recalling what Kim Jae-hyun had instructed.
“You don’t have to do anything right now. Just keep an eye on him.”
“So you’re saying that we need to find evidence of a vampire first and then we can investigate. I understand.”
It wasn’t exactly like that.
All I got was an instruction from Kim Jae-hyun to wait.
‘Everyone said they’d come tomorrow.’
We were planning to leave early tomorrow morning and arrive here before the afternoon.
‘Are we really starting tomorrow?’
In Kim Geon’s view, the current situation was one where the survivors and vampires were maintaining a balance of power.
He thought that if Ha Dong-geun’s party intervened in that situation, the balance of power would rapidly tilt toward the survivor group.
‘If we utilize the power that Jaehyun possesses, it won’t be that difficult to unite the survivor group.’
Coming here made me realize once again how great Kim Jae-hyun’s abilities are.
There even appeared groups that risked their lives to obtain food and did not hesitate to kill to plunder that food.
‘If Jaehyun hadn’t been here, we wouldn’t have been so different.’
Many people would have fought with each other over limited resources and food, and it would have been a cruel world where people had to kill each other to survive.
“I’m going to the bathroom for a moment.”
Park Sae-rom asked.
“Big one? Small one?”
“…Why do you ask that?”
“If it’s something big, you have to go outside and solve it. I was trying to show you a good place.”
“…It’s small.”
“I see. If you go out and go to the far left, you’ll find a public restroom. You can use it there.”
After hearing her words, I went to the bathroom and it smelled strongly of urine right from the entrance.
As I went inside with my brow furrowed, the stench became even worse. Not only the smell of urine, but also the smell of feces filled the entire bathroom.
I opened the toilet stall just in case, and what I saw was a horrible sight.
“Ugh.”
This was a natural sight, with the water and electricity out.
Fortunately, the sewer was functioning properly and there was no backflow of sewage or anything.
Even so, it was still disgusting.
As I looked at the bathroom that was dirty with feces and urine, I felt a renewed sense of gratitude towards Kim Jae-hyun.

‘It’s all thanks to Jaehyun that we can live like humans.’
Kim Geon looked into the empty space and muttered to himself.
“Mr. Jaehyun, are you there?”
[Yes, go ahead.]
“Isn’t it okay to start telling me about Jaehyun now? She seems like a trustworthy person.”
Now, Park Sae-rom was mistaking Kim Jae-hyun’s strength for Kim Geon’s ability.
Although it felt good to be trusted so much by others, it was also somewhat burdensome.
‘Someday, the truth will have to come out.’
I wanted to tell you before the misunderstanding got any bigger.
[You may do whatever you want.]
“thank you.”
Ironically, seeing the miserable living conditions of other survivors made me feel more and more loyal to Kim Jae-hyun.
‘I have to do better in the future.’
Kim Geon thought while holding his breath for as long as he could.
“Huh. By the way, what do you plan on doing with Team Leader 3, Jaehyun?”
It wasn’t that I doubted Kim Jae-hyun’s words.
However, Team Leader 3 had a close relationship with the survivor group here.
If we were to kill him like that, there would inevitably be a huge backlash.
‘We have to somehow prove that guy is a vampire and then deal with him….]
Anyway, he has not revealed his identity to anyone until now.
It wouldn’t be easy to reveal his identity.
‘Jaehyun, you must have thought about everything.’
The next afternoon.
All party members, led by Ha Dong-geon, arrived in Ulsan and were able to join Park Sae-rom’s team with her help.
And a little later.
bang-!
Gunshots rang out throughout the base.
[You have hunted an intermediate vampire (Lv. 33).]
[Gain a large amount of experience points.]
[1,133,423,899 won was deposited into the wallet of the absolute owner of the house.]
[Citizen Moon Byeong-ho defeated the head of ‘Ulsan Homeplus’.]
[It is possible to build an outpost at ‘Ulsan Homeplus’.]
‘Okay.’
As expected, I was able to clear the conditions for building the outpost by killing the bastard.
I was worried at first.
There was also a possibility that the leader of the 3rd supply team was a ‘good vampire’ like those seen in movies and novels.
But my worries flew away when Moon Byung-ho used his invisibility and checked the bastard’s private room.
‘Did I make you feel too comfortable?’
The body of a young girl was found in the bastard’s private room.
Her pale, ashen face and the two holes left on her slender neckline told her that her death was due to excessive bleeding caused by vampirism.
The moment I saw it, I didn’t have to think any further and immediately ordered Moon Byung-ho to kill him.
At that moment, Team Leader 3’s subordinates who heard the gunshots were seen rushing into the room. Moon Byung-ho watched them quietly from a corner while maintaining his transparency.
With the settlement complete and Team Leader 3’s body missing, it was obvious what they would do next.
“Team Leader! Where are you?!”
They searched the room to find Team Leader 3, and naturally found the girls’ bodies.
“Tongue, bro! Hey, over here!”
“What, why?”
The person who first checked the condition of the body spoke in a trembling voice.
“Huh, I think I got attacked by a vampire.”
Above all, the clear teeth marks left on the corpse’s neck were clear evidence that it had been attacked by a vampire.
and.
“Isn’t this a dog? It was rescued a while ago and then went missing…”
Their expressions hardened with seriousness.
Because the circumstantial evidence up to now has been telling us one shocking fact.
“The team leader was a vampire..?”
In the somber atmosphere, Moon Byung-ho leisurely left the scene of the incident.
[Thank you for your hard work.]
After confirming that Moon Byung-ho had escaped safely, I immediately activated construction mode.
The view of the area where Seomyeon and Jagalchi Market are located looked like a small toy.
A long stretch of space with thick darkness extending beyond the area continued until a small light appeared in the distance.
That was the Homeplus in Ulsan where the Ha Dong-gun party was staying right now.
‘Building an outpost.’
[This facility requires 3 citizens with a title of ‘Knight’ or higher during the construction period (7 days).]
[Do you really want to install it?]
[Yes/No]
‘yes’
At that time, an unexpected effect appeared.
[There are at least 6 citizens with a title of ‘Knight’ or higher gathered at the construction site.]
[Construction efficiency increases by 100%.]
[Time remaining until completion of outpost facility construction]
-83 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
Seeing the time cut in half made me smile.
‘Thanks to you, I’ll save the crystal.’
I had no intention of waiting a week from the beginning.
‘Complete immediately’
[Do you want to complete construction of the ‘Outpost’ facility immediately?]
[9 crystals are required for immediate completion of this facility.]
“okay.”
At that moment.
Woohoo-
With a strange feeling.
[An entity that satisfies the conditions for acceptance as a citizen has been discovered.]
[Would you like to grant citizenship?]
The entire Homeplus has come under my jurisdiction.
‘bingo’
Information about a thousand citizens came to mind, and I checked them one by one.
“There are 7 Awakened. And 19 Vampires.”
I took a quick look around the entire Homeplus, which has now become my territory.
I could see people who had not received citizenship frozen in place, unable to do anything.
After we figured out where all nineteen vampires were.
‘Summon the dead.’
They summoned their attendants to their vicinity.
Including the Ha Dong-geon party, the vassals belonging to Lee Jun-hyeok’s party, Jang Seong-jun, and the brothers Moon Ji-hoon and Moon Sang-hoon who recently became vassals.
In fact, all the vassals who were active as a hunting team were placed next to the vampires.
and.
Flash –
We are all set to supply electricity to Homeplus and brighten up the entire store.
‘Grant citizenship.’
Ordinary people who were forcibly granted citizenship checked their bodies with bewildered expressions, and some stared blankly at the lit ceiling.
and.
“Eww!”
The vampires immediately started screaming.
Ability values reduced by 90%.
Remove all buffs received by citizens.
Constant pain all over the body.
A red mark appears on the forehead.
It was the effect of the [Vampire] title that was automatically given to someone who had acquired citizenship and achieved the feat of becoming a vampire.
“What, what is it?”
“What’s wrong?! Are you okay?!”
Their colleagues nearby were worried about them.
however.
“Kyaaaaah!”
The insane vampires immediately showed their teeth and tried to attack the people.
However, their abilities were greatly weakened due to the title effect, which gave the vassals an opening to intervene.
Boom! Bam! Phew!!
Jejejeok-
Scenes of vampires being subdued in various ways unfolded here and there.
After confirming that no one was hurt, I got up and spoke to Seo Ye-jin, who was waiting next to me.
“let’s go.”
“huh.”
Clank-
Across the front door, Park Sae-rom was seen staring blankly into the lit room.
He spoke to her.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Kim Jae-hyun.”
