Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 245
245. The name is… … .
When he said he had something to ask, Jeong Hye-won became nervous without realizing it.
“What do you want to ask?”
“I guess Hye-won was fine before?”
“Huh? What is it?”
“Haven’t you heard the news?”
Jeong Hye-won was puzzled by Shin Kyung-min’s somewhat sharp voice.
“what……?”
“Our guild leader disappeared from the rankings.”
Shin Kyung-min is in the Emperor Guild.
In other words, Jeong Hye-won also knew that the guild leader he was talking about was Kang Hyeok-su.
“You’re not that surprised?”
“yes?”
Jeong Hye-won was startled, like someone caught stealing.
Shin Kyung-min’s gaze became sharp.
“If you disappear from the rankings, that means you’re dead. You know that, right?”
“Yeah, of course.”
“If you know this, why aren’t you surprised? Even if the guild leader had been annoying you while you were alive, isn’t it too much of a surprise that you’re not reacting when someone dies?”
“No, I’m not surprised. I was surprised enough… … .”
Of course I was surprised.
Because of Shin Kyung-min’s sharp questions.
“When I first saw the rankings, I doubted my eyes. I thought I was seeing things.”
Because Shin Kyung-min was the closest to Kang Hyuk-soo, he could not accept his death even more.
“I’d like to think it’s a system error, but that can’t be true. In fact, I can’t even contact the guild leader… … .”
Shin Kyung-min, who had been looking at her with a hazy gaze, looked at Jeong Hye-won with a sharp gaze again.
“Where has Hye-won been for the past two days and why has she shown up now?”
“Me? Well, something just came up.”
“What happened that you disappeared without a word right before we entered the dungeon? You even turned off your cell phone?”
“It was urgent.”
“Then why the cell phone?”
“It’s because the battery is dead. No, but why are you asking this question?”
“The guild leader disappeared two days ago. On the same day as Hye-won.”
“… … .”
“But today, Hye-won came back and the guild leader died. Is this a coincidence?”
“What do you think, Mr. Kyungmin?”
“I think they were together.”
“Me? With Kang Hyuk-soo?”
“Isn’t it?”
Despite Shin Kyung-min’s questioning, Jeong Hye-won continued to lie.
Because I promised Min Do-jun.
“I swear I haven’t seen Kang Hyuk-soo in the past two days. There’s no reason for me to be with him, right?”
“I think the guild leader may have met Hye-won since he liked her.”
“Hey, Mr. Shin Kyung-min.”
Jeong Hye-won acted strongly, perhaps because she thought this would not work.
“What are you trying to do now? Interrogate people and make them feel bad.”
“I just want to know how the guild leader died.”
“Isn’t that the job of the police and the association?”
“That doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to ask me.”
“You know you don’t have the right to answer, right?”
“If you know something, just tell me frankly.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Our guild leader, how did you die?”
“How do I know that?”
Jeong Hye-won raised her voice with a look of disbelief.
It was an act to keep the promise with Min Do-jun that he would take it to the grave.
“Oh my, stop it.”
As the atmosphere became tense, the leader of the Somang Guild came between the two.
‘If you’re going to fight, go out and fight. What’s the point of getting stuck in the middle?’
The guild leader sighed secretly between Shin Kyung-min, who continued to look at him suspiciously, and Jeong Hye-won, who crossed her arms as if she was upset.
* * *
[Emperor Guild Leader, Kang Hyuk-soo. His name was erased from the rankings… … .]
[Contact cut off two days ago. Disappeared from the rankings, so he is effectively dead.]
[Suspicious disappearance. Not even caught on CCTV.]
[Emperor Guildmaster, Kang Hyuk-soo. How did he die?]
It was natural that Kang Hyuk-soo’s death would be reported in the news.
Because he was the guild leader of the Emperor Guild, which was ranked 3rd and considered the best guild in the country.
However, not a single article related to Jeong Hye-won was posted.

It wasn’t because the influence of the owners of large corporations was at work.
It’s just that no one thought he was missing.
Although there was no contact for two days, that was a normal occurrence for hunters who frequented dungeons.
That’s why no one thought that Jeong Hye-won was with Kang Hyeok-su.
Except for Shin Kyung-min.
‘Brother Hyuk-soo, how on earth did you die… … .’
Although he suspected and questioned Jeong Hye-won, he was ultimately unable to find out about Kang Hyeok-su’s death.
That doesn’t mean there was no income at all.
‘No matter how I look at it, it’s suspicious… … .’
The person Shin Kyung-min suspected was Jeong Hye-won.
I remembered her unfazed reaction when I first told her the news of Kang Hyuk-soo’s death.
‘It was as if he already knew that Hyuk-soo was dead.’
Her noticeably flustered reaction afterwards was also suspicious enough.
‘Something must have happened on the day the two disappeared.’
I had no idea what happened, but there was no doubt that I had met Kang Hyuk-soo.
‘What? Why are you pretending not to know that I met Hyuk-soo? No way? Hye-won met Hyuk-soo… . . ‘
Shin Kyung-min let out a hollow laugh, as if he thought it was absurd.
‘There’s no way Hye-won would do that.’
The hypothesis that Jeong Hye-won committed murder was consistent with the statement that Min Do-jun did it.
In a word, it was nonsense.
‘Then why is that so?’
I had my doubts, but that was it.
He had no clues so he couldn’t know anything.
* * *
[… … .]
Kang Hyuk-soo, who Shin Kyung-min was looking for, was now confused.
Because I heard Min Do-jun’s explanation that he had become a spirit.
And I heard from whom and how he died.
[Dojun killed me?]
‘Yes. It was an unavoidable situation.’
He also told me that he was under mental control and tried to kill Jeong Hye-won and Min Do-jun.
However, Kang Hyuk-soo seemed to not remember what he had done.
[I tried to kill Hye-won and Do-jun… … I don’t remember at all.]
‘is it so?’
[But I remember what happened before that. Up until killing the warlock and attacking that Asian man… … .]
‘I see you don’t remember anything after being mind controlled.’
[Controlling the human mind… … . What kind of fraudulent ability is this… … .]
Although he said it as if it was absurd, Kang Hyuk-soo’s voice was surprisingly calm.
‘Aren’t you angry?’
[Yes? Why should I be angry?]
‘I told you I killed Kang Hyuk-soo?’
[But?]
Even though he was talking to the person who killed him, Kang Hyuk-soo’s voice was calm.
[You said you had no choice. You said I was under mental control and just rushed in without thinking about the consequences.]
‘That’s right.’
[If what Dojun said is true, then you did well. Because I wasn’t myself back then.]
‘You are very cool-headed.’
[To be honest, I am far from being a cool-headed person. I am the type of person who gets excited easily. But I think the reason I can do this is probably because I don’t remember.]
‘Because you don’t remember?’
[Yes. Since I have no memory of what happened after being mind-controlled, I don’t feel that emotional even if you say you killed me. I just feel like it’s someone else’s business.]
‘If it were me, I would feel quite wronged.’
[It’s so unfair. It’s like waking up and finding the Earth destroyed. I haven’t even held Hye-won’s hand yet… ]
‘… … .’
[But that’s it. I feel aggrieved, but I don’t feel angry or betrayed. It couldn’t be helped, right?]
That was right.
I couldn’t keep Kang Hyuk-soo alive when I didn’t even know much about mind control.
[If Do-jun hadn’t stopped me, I might have hurt Hye-won too. Oh my, it’s horrible to even imagine.]
Rather, Min Do-jun had many thoughts as he watched Kang Hyuk-soo being grateful for killing him.
‘What if Kang Hyuk-soo was mentally controlled like this even before his regression?’
Could the coup have been the work of an Asian man?
Could it be that Kang Hyuk-soo was not a victim?
‘Then what about Shin Kyung-min?’
Min Do-jun was lost in thought for a while.
And those thoughts reached Kang Hyuk-soo’s ears as well.
[Regression… …? Min Do-jun is a regressor?]
‘yes.’
Now there was no need to hide it from the soul.
I don’t know if you believe it or not.
[Hehe, it’s possible to go back to the past… … .]
Surprisingly, Kang Hyuk-soo seemed to trust him.
I realized that there was not a single lie in Min Do-jun’s thoughts.
[A coup will happen in 8 years?]
‘This is what 14 hunters, including Shin Kyung-min, are doing.’
[Me, me? You’re saying that you’re going to join the coup with Kyungmin?]
‘yes.’
[That can’t be. Why would I want to destroy Korea? Do I look like someone who would do that?]
‘… … .’
Min Do-jun deliberately avoided answering.
To find out Kang Hyuk-soo’s true feelings.
[I never once thought about that. How much do I love this country?]
‘… … .’
[Kyungmin is the same. He’s gathering the hunters and instigating a coup? That’s ridiculous!]
Min Do-jun also agreed with Kang Hyuk-soo’s argument to some extent.
There were many parts that were questionable for a sudden coup.
‘It doesn’t make sense. Considering the personality of Hunter Shin Kyung-min that we’ve seen so far.’
[The coup was clearly the work of a mind-controlled Oriental. Don’t you think the same, Do-jun?]
‘I think so too, but… … .’
I still couldn’t be sure.
Until I heard it from his own mouth.
‘It’s time.’
[Yes? What time… … .]
Min Do-jun blocked conversation with Kang Hyuk-soo.
‘It’s been 24 hours.’
The cooldown for riding skills has returned.
‘It’s time to go find him.’
[Found a target that matches the smell.]
[Distance from target 11,208.30km]
It’s quite a distance, but we’ll probably get there in less than 4 hours.
‘Let’s go, brother.’
[Cough!]
Min Do-jun, riding on the ghost wolf, disappeared in a flash after a while.
* * *
The oriental man was currently in deep thought.
It was because of the obstacle called Min Do-jun.
‘How did that guy find out about the set and come here?’
The man was confident.
No one will be able to track Kang Hyuk-soo and Jeong Hye-won.
‘I clearly used my twin subordinates to teleport and kidnap him… … .’
But then, for some reason, Min Do-jun showed up.
‘Why did you show up at the exact moment when you were mind-controlling Kang Hyuk-soo…?’
If he had killed Jeong Hye-won and disappeared, the situation would have been neat but it turned into a mess.
‘I got Kang Hyuk-soo on my side as planned, but what’s the point? He’s already dead.’
I already know about Kang Hyuk-soo’s death from reading Korean articles.
‘I thought he might be spared, but he’s colder than he looks. Well, he’s already committed murder… ‘
It was visible to the man’s eyes.
How many people did Min Do-jun kill?
‘Fortunately, the conditions are sufficient.’
A situation where I can make him take my side at any time just by making eye contact with him.
‘The problem is that it’s not easy to get close.’
It wasn’t an easy task, as you had to get close enough to control their mind.
‘Damn it! Neither Shin Kyung-min nor Kang Hyuk-soo could control anyone!’
A situation where not a single Korean hunter can be made a subordinate.
‘If this continues, we won’t be able to stage a coup.’
There was a hitch in the plan, but there was a way out.
‘If only Min Do-jun… … that bastard had his mind controlled… … .’
Then everything will be solved.
With a fighting force of 8 million, he could easily rule Korea on his own.
‘There’s no use in ruling over other bastards. As long as Min Do-jun is here, it will be impossible to stage a coup.’
I came to the conclusion that I had to mentally control Min Do-jun before anyone else.
‘Damn, if only his face hadn’t been exposed, it would have been much easier to approach Min Do-jun… … .’
The only good thing was that Min Do-jun would never come here.
‘First, we need to use Justin Walker to bring him in, and then we need to plan the operation… … .’
That was when.
In the blink of an eye, Min Do-jun appeared.
“hi?”
The oriental man’s expression froze.
‘Uh, how?’
Leaving him bewildered, Min Do-jun looked at the information window that detected the man’s weaknesses and spoke.
“Let’s see, your name is… … .”
