Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 106
106. Jang Seok-Hyeon
Min Do-jun, who returned home, checked the distance between himself and Hwang Ui-cheol using his tracking skills.
[Distance from target 48.68km]
‘I guess you’re home, 48 kilometers from here.’
Min Do-jun’s new home is in Seongsu-dong, Seoul.
If you measure the distance to Incheon, where Hwang Ui-cheol lives, it’s roughly correct.
‘I feel a bit guilty asking you this, but I just wanted to make sure you can enter the dungeon… ‘
There is no need to follow.
Just keep the tracking skill turned on like now and check if the distance is determined.
If you enter the dungeon, it will say you cannot be tracked.
‘Let’s just watch for a week. Then we’ll know if the teacher is really inactive.’
* * *
A week has passed.
During that time, Min Do-jun only spent time at home.
I didn’t even enter the dungeon.
I even gave up hunting to figure out Hwang Ui-cheol’s movements.
‘It’s okay to rest for a week or so.’
Anything related to Hwang Ui-cheol could be put aside.
As a result, I was able to obtain the information I wanted.
‘You didn’t enter the dungeon.’
When you enter the dungeon, a message should appear saying that the target is too far away and cannot be tracked.
But no such message appeared.
I haven’t been in the dungeon for a whole week.
That wasn’t the only information they found out.
‘There is very little change in distance. That means, it only acts at home.’
Based on what I’ve observed so far, Hwang Ui-cheol’s radius of action does not exceed 3 kilometers.
In short, it means not leaving the neighborhood.
‘What’s going on that you don’t even go out to the dungeon and just stay at home?’
I would have thought that would happen if Hwang Ui-cheol retired.
But isn’t that not the case?
He even said with his own mouth that he would work for the rest of his life.
‘There are more than one or two suspicious points.’
According to Do Kyung-won, civil servant hunters do not have vacations and cannot avoid being deployed to dungeons.
But Hwang Ui-cheol is an exception.
He doesn’t go to work and just lives at home, as if he’s receiving special treatment.
‘You even went so far as to lie to me.’
I thought about it carefully, but I just couldn’t figure out why.
I had no idea why that was.
That was when.
‘huh?’
The distance between me and Hwang Ui-cheol began to change.
[Distance from target 35.90km]
… …
[Distance from target 24.32km]
… …
[Distance from target 13.18km]
It was the first time.
Hwang Ui-cheol has never been more than 3 kilometers away.
‘Judging by the speed, you must have taken a car.’
Where are you going out?
‘And it’s getting closer and closer.’
As the distance narrowed to within four kilometers, Min Do-jun thought that Hwang Ui-cheol’s destination might be his house.
But when I saw it moving away again, I realized that it was a mistake.
‘The fluctuations decreased at 7 kilometers. I got out of the car.’
7 kilometers is a closer distance than you think.
‘Should I follow you once?’
The distance was close and I was curious as to why he left home after a week, so I naturally thought of following him.
‘I don’t want to doubt you, teacher, but isn’t it too suspicious?’
Min Do-jun, who rationalized himself by saying that he was only checking briefly, eventually started preparing to go out.
* * *
‘What… … You’re here?’
The place where Min Do-jun is standing is an amusement park in Seoul.
It is also Hwang Ui-cheol’s destination.
‘Are you here with your family?’
Min Do-jun, disguised as a man in his 40s with a ghost mask, followed the ghost wolf’s guidance.
[Woof, woof!]
Min Do-jun looked ahead at the barking sound that announced his arrival.

As expected, Hwang Ui-cheol and his family were waiting in line to ride the rides.
‘You just came to play.’
It’s obvious since you’re at an amusement park, but the question is why don’t you go to work?
Why did you try to hide that from Min Do-jun again?
‘If anyone saw you, they’d think you were retired.’
Hwang Ui-cheol looked at Min Do-jun, but quickly turned his head back to his family.
Judging from the fact that he doesn’t notice the disguise, his fighting ability seems to be low as expected.
‘I’ve confirmed the destination, so that’s it. Even if I ask directly, he won’t tell me. I should go back now… ‘
Min Do-jun, who had been turning his body, turned his head again as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.
His gaze was fixed on a man.
‘Black Sea Guild… …?’
Information about a man I happened to see through a weakness.
There was a sign written there that said, “Black Sea Guild, Level 250.”
‘What is the Black Sea Guild doing here?’
Of course, there is no rule that says the Black Sea Guild cannot come to the amusement park.
But guys who specialize in assassination wouldn’t have stopped by here just to ride some amusement ride.
As expected, the guy was glancing at someone.
At the end of that gaze was Hwang Ui-cheol.
‘I’m watching you, teacher.’
It wasn’t just a guess.
The bastard’s gaze continued to follow Hwang Ui-cheol.
When Hwang Ui-cheol was out of sight, he moved to a more visible spot, and when he moved to another ride, he followed him.
‘I’m sure. They’re tailing the teacher.’
When he realized that fact, Min Do-jun naturally looked around.
The goal is to confirm whether Hwang Ui-cheol has been subjected to another stalking attack.
I looked around broadly, checking information on numerous people.
‘There’s one more level 400 person.’
Two in total.
No other Black Sea guilds could be found.
‘Why are you following the teacher?’
Hwang Ui-cheol will be murdered by the Black Sea Guild in just one year and six months.
Knowing that fact, I couldn’t help but be more sensitive to the emergence of the Black Sea Guild.
‘Are you after the teacher’s life?’
But it was too early for that.
Isn’t there still a year and a half left?
‘Surely the future hasn’t changed… …?’
I don’t know.
The future may have changed or been brought forward because of your actions.
Given what he’s done so far, it’s quite possible that that could happen.
‘Anyway, the fact that the Black Sea Guild has already joined is not a good sign.’
Min Do-jun gritted his teeth.
The person who saved your life may be in danger.
‘I don’t know why, but… … .’
You can hear that directly from the Black Sea Guild.
Min Do-jun tailed one of the guild members without letting anyone know.
* * *
Jang Seok-Hyeon is a level 250 D-rank Black Sea guild member.
Although I was a low-ranking employee and had to monitor things as I was told from above, I had no complaints.
‘Which guild would accept me, a person with an F-class trait?’
Luckily, I woke up and managed to get to D-rank in two years, but that was it.
Feeling the limits of his growth, he tried to find a guild, but was often turned away because he was told he had no talent.
Even if you hide the fact that it’s an F-class trait, you can’t hide the slow leveling up speed.
‘That’s when I met the Black Sea Guild.’
It was purely by chance that I came across the Black Sea Guild.
One day, while I was suffering from an inferiority complex because I couldn’t find a guild.
I got into an argument with a party member and ended up killing him. The party member who was watching was a member of the Black Sea Guild.
‘If my venom hadn’t been recognized back then, I wouldn’t have been able to enter the Black Sea Guild.’
Jang Seok-hyeon, who killed a person, was offered to join the Black Sea Guild.
However, there was a separate entrance test, which was to kill an innocent person.
‘He’s already committed murder, so what’s the big deal?’
It was the guild’s intention to make him a criminal like themselves and prevent him from betraying them, but it didn’t matter anyway.
If I can join the guild.
‘I’m currently in a surveillance position, but as I level up, gain experience, and learn stealth, I’ll be able to assassinate like my seniors.’
I learned about the Assassination Guild after joining the Black Sea Guild, but what does it matter?
I killed two people and crossed a river that was already uncrossable.
I was rather grateful to the Black Sea Guild.
Because you accepted me even though I had nowhere to go.
‘Here, you won’t be looked down on because you have low skills.’
Since they all come in after committing murder, they don’t take even the lowest of the low lightly.
Moreover, if you just monitor things well, money will come in steadily from the guild.
While other places are busy stealing the hunters’ profits, this guild is actually paying them salaries.
How good is this?
‘Even though I’m watching an old man whose name I don’t even know… … .’
I don’t regret joining the guild.
‘Ah, the bathroom.’
I didn’t even have time to go to the bathroom because I was watching from the morning breeze.
Knock knock-
I texted another guard.
[Senior. Can I have the bathroom?]
[yep.]
[It’s big.]
[Oh my, sir. Go and come back quickly.]
Jang Seok-hyeon took his eyes off Hwang Ui-cheol and went to the bathroom.
Ppujijik-
“Ahh… … I survived.”
After doing my business in a cool manner, I opened the door and was about to leave… … .
Bam-
I couldn’t get out because it was blocked by something transparent.
“Huh? What… … Hmph!”
Someone invisible covered his mouth and pushed him in.
The bathroom stall door was closed again.
Click-
As soon as the door was locked, the assailant’s figure was revealed.
The hiding has been released.
‘Who, who are you!’
I wanted to scream, but I was holding my throat so tightly that I couldn’t even move my Adam’s apple, so no sound came out.
The power was no joke.
From the moment I went into hiding, I knew that my opponent was a B-class or higher hunter… … .
‘It’s so strong… …!’
The demon’s strength was so great that he, a fellow hunter, was unable to use any force.
‘I need to ask for help… … .’
The bathroom was large, but many people came and went.
If you make a little noise, you might be able to save your life.
Then the assailant showed me his cell phone.
The text appeared to have been written in advance.
[Don’t make any noise or try to use any skills. If you do, you’ll die.]
As I tightened my grip, it became difficult to even breathe through my nose.
At that time, a thought occurred to me.
This guy could kill me with just his strength.
As I barely nodded, the stranger showed me another text.
[If you just answer the questions correctly, your life will be spared. The choice is yours.]
There was no other choice.
As I nodded endlessly, the stranger showed me another text message.
[Just nod your head to answer. The reason you came to the amusement park. Is it to tail some old man?]
Jang Seok-hyeon nodded.
[Then do you know why you are following the target?]
Jang Seok-hyeon shook his head this time.
[Write down as much as you know about your future plans.]
Jang Seok-hyeon typed a text message with one hand on the cell phone held out by the stranger.
[I’m just a lowly person and don’t know anything. I just did what I was told. Please spare me.]
He looked at me with pitiful eyes.
I felt like I would die if I didn’t beg for my life.
The stranger, who had been quietly nodding his head, put his cell phone in his pocket.
Jang Seok-hyeon’s memories ended here.
Ppoduk-
My neck snapped and my shoulders sagged.
[Hunter Jang Seok-Hyeon was killed.]
[Traiticle ‘Lower Resistance’ taken away.]
[5 pieces of equipment were stolen.]
[Target’s corpse has been absorbed.]
[Your stamina is restored.]
Only Jang Seok-hyeon’s clothes and cell phone remained where the body disappeared.
Min Do-jun took off his clothes one by one and changed into Jang Seok-hyeon’s clothes.
Finally, his face changed as he took his cell phone with him.
‘Shall we go?’
Min Do-jun, who transformed into Jang Seok-hyun, came out of the bathroom.
