Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 196
196. Bait
“Are you sure you can achieve S-rank by tomorrow?”
Min Do-jun told Hong Se-yeon not to worry about her worries.
“Yes. I just need to run the dungeon once, that’s it.”
It wasn’t an exaggeration, as there were only 3 levels left until level 3,000.
“Then I’ll contact the Chinese team and tell them that Hunter is joining.”
“Okay, then.”
The three people left the restaurant and said goodbye.
“I will do my best to conquer the dungeon you introduced.”
“Yes. If you need any help with dungeons, please let me know.”
Hong Se-yeon looked at Hyun Soo-ah with a smile.
“What are your plans, Hunter? Will you join our guild?”
“Um… I need to think about it some more.”
At those words, Hong Se-yeon handed over the business card she had prepared.
“Please take your time and contact me when you feel like it.”
“All right.”
“Then let’s each part ways here.”
“Yes, Hunter. See you next time.”
Min Do-jun, who broke up with the two women, did not go home.
I walked towards somewhere with the system window open on one side of my vision.
[Distance from target 12.91km]
The target that Min Do-jun was chasing was none other than Kim Pil-young.
‘If the guy’s gangster nature has not gone anywhere, he will definitely move to take revenge on Godu-sik.’
He predicted that Kim Pil-young would target Ko Du-sik.
It was only natural since he published a sniping article.
Godoosik would also know that fact.
‘But I guess the reason I posted the article was because I was confident that I wouldn’t be hacked.’
The guy’s greed for a scoop may have also played a part.
‘That’s a good thing.’
In fact, that was the information that was thrown to Ko Du-sik.
‘It was bait, so to speak.’
It wasn’t just Ko Du-sik who took the bait.
Kim Pil-young is also likely moving, taking advantage of the bait called Ko Du-sik.
‘Lure Kim Pil-young using Godu-sik as bait, kill him, and disguise yourself as the same person.’
So he lures the twin brothers and kills them.
Min Do-jun, who had made a plan, entered a deserted alley and got on a ghost wolf.
It was too far to track on foot.
‘Hey, let’s go.’
[Crrrrr!]
Min Do-jun riding a wolf disappeared through the wall.
* * *
‘Hehehe, you got two scoops!’
The smile never left Godu-sik’s face.
Because the article he posted became a huge hit.
Of course, it was an article written based on information obtained from Min Do-jun.
‘Of course, so what? Obtaining information is also one of my abilities. Hehe.’
For Ko Du-sik, Min Do-jun was a high-level informant who brought him scoops.
Not a villain who torments himself.
‘Thanks to that, the number of times I am ignored at work has decreased, and the way my manager treats me has also changed.’
There was no reason for him to look down on it.
‘Of course, it’s a bit creepy to be able to inflict pain remotely and monitor people anytime, anywhere… ‘
If they had just given me a scoop like this, I could have tolerated that much.
‘I don’t know why you want me to post the article, but just do whatever you’re told.’
Then, there is no risk of being hacked and you can write an unexpected scoop like now.
‘The motive for the murder of the Immigrant Hiller and the identity of the S-class Hunter. Where did you get all this high-level information? Hehe.’
When he received the information from Min Do-jun, he could tell at a glance.
That it’s a good material for sucking up views.
‘It’s a bit unsettling that Kim Pil-young and the twin hunters were shot, but whatever. As long as they suck up the views, that’s enough.’
Godoosik was not unaware of the situation he was in.
‘He’s probably really mad at me, because I brought up a past he wanted to keep hidden.’
It was obvious that the enraged hunters would come looking for him.
I would have done the same thing myself.
‘They’ll come and ask where I got that information. Then I can pretend not to know.’
He said he just got a call from an unknown person, gave them some information, and hung up.
He said that he simply wrote the article based on information.
If you keep making excuses like that, that’s the end of it.
‘If I tell the truth, Hunter Min Do-jun will catch me, so I have no choice but to lie.’

The fact that the informant is Min Do-jun must not be revealed.
Unless you want to be harassed remotely.
‘If you just say that, I’ll go back.’
No matter how much of a gangster he was in the past, in this day and age with so many CCTVs, Kim Pil-young and his group won’t be able to do anything to him.
‘Would those hunters, who are no different from public figures, really get so angry that they would hit me on the spot?’
Even hunters who commit crimes will go to prison.
There’s a reason why there are special camps that only hold hunters.
‘No matter how much they have superhuman strength compared to ordinary people, hunters are still people.’
It is natural for people to have a desire to be recognized by others.
This may be why Kim Pil-young and his group tried to clear away their past and wash away their identities.
‘It’s no good for someone who was trying to clean up his identity and manage his image to hit me.’
If you hit yourself, it will only prove that you are a gangster.
Kim Pil-young and the twin hunters wouldn’t want that kind of situation either.
‘It would be better to persuade me to write an explanatory article rather than using my fists.’
So you don’t have to worry about being harmed by them.
‘But just in case, I should only go to places with CCTV.’
The best situation would be to not run into Kim Pil-young’s group, but we had to prepare for any eventuality.
[This stop is Sema, Sema Station. The exit door is on the left.]
On his way home from work, Ko Du-sik took the subway, which was crowded as usual.
‘CCTV and people will protect me from Kim Pil-young.’
I was definitely protected, as nothing happened on the way home.
Beep beep beep beep- Tiring- Clang!
Only after he entered the password and entered the house did Godu-sik breathe a sigh of relief.
“Whew. I was so nervous, I thought I was being kidnapped.”
Godoosik put his bag down on the sofa, took a shower, and headed to the veranda.
Knock knock-
He took out a cigarette and was about to light it in front of a rather beautiful night view.
“Ouch!”
Godoosik felt a sinister hand covering his mouth with a cigarette.
“Follow me quietly.”
After hearing someone’s voice, Godu-sik lost consciousness.
What he suffered was a unique assassin skill called stun.
* * *
“Umm… … .”
“Are you awake?”
Godu-sik woke up with a start at the sudden sound of a voice.
Then, she was surprised again when she saw the man smiling at her.
‘Hey, Hunter Kim Pil-young?’
I knew Kim Pil-young’s face very well.
Because they were so busy promoting him as the twentieth S-class on TV.
But that was only until he was overtaken by Min Do-jun.
“Hey, this is… … .”
Godoosik looked around with an anxious expression.
It was a reed field without any people.
‘X is done.’
I was at home just a little while ago, but when I opened my eyes, I was in a field of reeds?
Anybody who wasn’t an idiot could figure it out.
That he had been kidnapped by Kim Pil-young.
‘I knew this would happen, so I only went to places with lots of people… … .’
In reality, he was kidnapped in his own home where there were no CCTV cameras or people around.
In the place that is considered the safest in the world.
“You’re reporter Ko Du-sik of Daemun Ilbo, right?”
“… … .”
When he just looked at her and didn’t answer, Kim Pil-young’s shoulders seemed to move and he felt pain in the back of his head.
Pfft-
“Ugh… … .”
“Answer me, kid.”
“Yes, Ma, that’s right!”
Godushik, who was covering the back of his head, shed tears.
‘Oh, I couldn’t even see your hand.’
The speed was so fast that it was difficult to keep up with even the naked eye.
‘Kim Pil-young is an assassin. He’s looking at S-class soon.’
It is natural that Ko Du-sik, an ordinary person, cannot keep up.
But I never thought he would come all the way to my house and kidnap me.
“Why did you write such an article?”
“Are you a knight?”
“You ignore me as soon as I ask you?”
puck!
I got hit in the head again.
“Ugh… … .”
Godoosik groaned and realized something.
‘Okay, if you do something wrong, you die.’
Kidnapping, verbal abuse, assault. Judging from the fact that he did all of this without hesitation, it seemed like he wasn’t afraid of going to prison.
Or if you are sure that it wasn’t caught on CCTV.
‘It’s clear that either way, it’s a disadvantage to me.’
In the worst case, you could die.
That thought awakened my dormant sense of crisis.
“I’m sorry, Hunter! I was so obsessed with the number of views that I wrote an article that attacked you. I’m so sorry.”
Godushik, lying flat on the floor, kept shaking his head.
There was no way to live other than to sincerely apologize.
“Yeah. I love it when you speak so honestly.”
A look of satisfaction appeared on Kim Pil-young’s face, as if he knew that this was the struggle of someone who wanted to live.
“Don’t worry too much, I’ll spare your life if you answer correctly.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Godoosik, who was answering, felt inwardly horrified.
‘I couldn’t believe it, but you really intended to kill me… … .’
Feeling a sense of crisis, Ko Du-sik decided to answer honestly whatever was asked.
But that promise didn’t last long.
“Where does the information come from?”
“……yes?”
“Who told you about my past?”
“… … .”
Ko Du-sik hesitated to answer that direct question.
‘What will happen to me if I honestly tell him that I’m a hunter named Min Do-jun?’
Wouldn’t Hunter Min Do-jun, who was watching the situation, immediately kill him by blowing up his head remotely?
Even if you don’t watch the situation, you will eventually find out and the same result will occur.
‘One way or another, it turned out to be X… … .’
I think the expression ‘a dilemma’ is used in situations like this.
“Mr. Reporter. Why have you become a dumb person again? Where is the source?”
“that is…….”
“Why are you worrying? Do you have multiple lives?”
Sling-
Godoosik, who had been pondering until just a moment ago, stopped thinking as soon as he saw the icy dagger that Kim Pilyoung had pulled out.
“Min Do-jun! This is information given by Hunter Min Do-jun!”
“what?”
Kim Pil-young’s face showed surprise and bewilderment, perhaps because he was an unexpected person.
It’s not that Min Do-jun is a character who has no connection to his past.
Kim Pil-young, who had been convinced that his former organization member had betrayed him, could not help but feel embarrassed.
“Min Do-jun, the Hunter? What does that mean?”
“I am Hunter Min Do-jun, the one who gave me the information and asked me to write the article.”
“Why did that kid come at me?”
“I don’t know why.”
“
Kim Pil-young gritted his teeth.
I don’t know how he knew about my past, but I had an idea of what his motive was.
‘I guess they asked me to write a sniper article because of the trouble I caused at the guild last time.’
Then suddenly a strange thought occurred to me.
“Reporter Ko Du-sik. Are you really saying that you wrote the article because Min Do-jun told you to?”
“Yes! That’s right.”
“But you said earlier that you wrote it because you were tempted by the number of views?”
“Huh? Ah.”
When Ko Du-sik realized that the story didn’t make sense and let out a gasp, Kim Pil-young’s expression hardened.
“Is this kid lying to get out of the situation somehow?”
“Ah, this, this is something I did accidentally without realizing it… … .”
“Okay, Woojin.”
At Kim Pil-young’s call, a large man who had been hiding came out, breaking reeds.
“Yes, brother.”
“Did you hear everything?”
“Yes. You said it was Hunter Min Do-jun’s doing.”
“Okay. What do we do now?”
“What can I do? I have to show them an example.”
“You said it would be difficult with just our strength?”
“That’s when the two of us face off. I think we can win if we fight together with my brother.”
Ko Du-sik couldn’t help but feel uneasy about the conversation between the two.
‘Why are you telling me such important plans? No way?’
As expected, my ominous feeling was not wrong.
“Woojin, let’s soak this kid now.”
