Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 74
74. Dinner appointment
When morning came, Lee Cheon-sik hurriedly got ready for work.
I woke up late yesterday, probably because I was tired from tailing her.
Now, it was time to become rookie investigator Kim Hyeon-jun, not hunter Lee Cheon-sik.
Lee Cheon-sik put on his bag and hurriedly left the house.
Without even knowing that someone was watching from behind.
‘Shall we begin?’
Min Do-jun, who was waiting in front of the house early in the morning, tailed Lee Cheon-sik.
I don’t know where he is going in such a hurry.
I followed along comfortably, thinking that I would find out as time went by.
It was closer than yesterday, but I wasn’t worried about it taking too long.
‘If necessary, you can use invisibility.’
Since he is lower level than you, you won’t be caught if you use invisibility when necessary.
Lee Cheon-sik, who seemed like he would take a taxi, surprisingly took the subway.
Seeing people hanging out together since morning, they looked like office workers going to work.
‘Where would a hunter go to work?’
But the guy’s destination was different than expected.
‘Korea Hunters Association?’
Min Do-jun paused for a moment at the sight of Lee Cheon-sik confidently entering the workplace as if it were his own.
‘What’s the Hunter doing there?’
His steps were too confident to suggest that he had simply gone in to do some business.
‘You’re not working here, are you?’
Most hunters do not work for an association.
Who would want to work there when the annual salary of an association employee is higher than just catching a simple F-class monster?
Rather, if you work for an association, you are often treated as a weirdo, saying it is a waste of talent.
It was because the fields were completely different, like an athlete studying to become a teacher.
That’s why Min Do-jun also had doubts, but he was okay with it.
‘You’ll know if you chase after it.’
Min Do-jun, who had increased his magic stat by wearing hunter gear, used invisibility in a place without CCTV.
Slurp-
[Time remaining: 3 minutes 16 seconds]
Since my magic power was close to 2,000, I was able to last for about 3 minutes.
I ran fast because I didn’t have time.
No matter how much I ran and jumped, I couldn’t hear any footsteps.
‘Ghostwalk boots are good for times like this.’
He entered the association, but no one noticed his presence.
It was natural, since I couldn’t see it or hear any footsteps.
Min Do-jun sees Lee Cheon-sik exchanging greetings with a female employee at the desk.
“Hello, Mr. Kim Hyun-jun.”
“hello.”
At the time, I didn’t really care, but everyone passing by called Lee Cheon-sik Kim Hyeon-jun.
‘What? This guy’s name must be Lee Cheon-sik?’
Lee Cheon-sik rode the elevator with some people.
Min Do-jun, who couldn’t bring himself to ride with her, quickly climbed the stairs.
I had to follow the elevator from floor to floor and check where he got off.
Fortunately, Lee Cheon-sik got off quickly.
He headed to the criminal investigation department on the third floor.
“Hyunjun, are you here?”
“Hello, senior.”
“Why is the guy who always comes early here now? You almost would have been late.”
“I’m sorry. I overslept last night.”
“I guess you played around without any plans yesterday because it was your day off. Tsk! Come with me. I have a ton of work to do today.”
Min Do-jun left, leaving Lee Cheon-sik behind as he disappeared with his senior.
Slurp-
Fortunately, the transparency was lifted just in time.
‘That’s what it was.’
Min Do-jun seemed to know why Lee Cheon-sik was called Kim Hyeon-jun.
‘I went undercover undercover under a different identity.’
I disguised myself as a civilian to avoid being seen as suspicious if I infiltrated the association as a hunter.
‘The purpose is probably to understand and monitor the investigation trends.’
The Black Sea Guild is a group of assassins who commit all kinds of crimes.
If you place your guild members as spies in the criminal investigation department, it will be advantageous in many ways in avoiding investigation.
You can also get information about impersonators like now.
‘I wondered what information they were listening to and why they were following me, but it turns out they were working for the association.’
That means there are no clues yet.
‘Like Team Leader Kim Sang-yeop, they must be following him based solely on their own suspicions.’
But it didn’t seem like something the association had ordered him to do.

Didn’t you know from your conversation with the senior investigator earlier that you overslept because you were playing?
‘Either acting alone or under the direction of the Black Sea Guild.’
It was one of the two, but in any case, it was clear that Lee Cheon-sik was suspicious of himself.
‘I guess I’ll just pretend not to know and watch for now.’
I decided to move on because digging into this any further would only make things worse.
Just confirming that he was a spy for the Association was a huge achievement.
‘Maybe I should stop following you.’
Min Do-jun, who had decided not to touch Lee Cheon-sik for the time being, turned around.
* * *
Ten days passed.
Meanwhile, Min Do-jun took his driver’s license test.
Of course, since he had regressed, there was no need to practice.
I passed both the written and practical exams in the shortest time possible and even received the foreign car I had contracted for last time.
There was no special reason for choosing a regular sedan instead of a sports car.
‘Because sports cars are too conspicuous.’
The Benz was also eye-catching, but to Min Do-jun, who had only seen sports cars, it seemed like an ordinary car.
‘By the way, how long is this guy going to follow me… … .’
Min Do-jun thought that Lee Cheon-sik would stop following him after a few times.
But that was an underestimation.
‘You haven’t missed a single day for over ten days… … .’
As we found out through the ghost wolf, Lee Cheon-sik followed Min Do-jun around every day without fail.
His passion was so great that he would head straight to Min Do-jun’s house after work.
Then, on days off, I spent the entire day just watching over Min Do-jun.
‘Doesn’t this kid even want to rest?’
Even if I didn’t know that there was a tailing, I couldn’t help but be concerned since I knew.
Now, it’s become so uncomfortable to even go outside.
‘Because of this guy, I can’t even go to class… … .’
Because I was being followed, I missed a service I was supposed to attend last week.
‘I have to go today.’
I couldn’t miss class twice.
‘Hey, go outside and check if anyone’s following me. If there is, bark once, if not, bark twice.’
The ghost wolf, who had checked quickly, reported briefly and clearly.
[king!]
‘It’s there again today.’
Min Do-jun was discouraged.
Contrary to his appearance, he was a rather honest stalker.
‘What should I do? I feel a bit burdened to miss it today… … .’
Min Do-jun acted normally even though he knew he was being followed.
It was to avoid suspicion.
‘That’s important, but gathering information about the church is also important.’
The best thing would be for Lee Cheon-sik to give up his doubts and step down on his own… … .
‘That day can’t be today.’
Min Do-jun, who had given up, thought deeply about how he could escape Lee Cheon-sik’s gaze.
‘Should I go out disguised as someone else?’
Min Do-jun immediately shook his head.
Lee Cheon-sik came into the apartment and watched to see if the front door would open.
If someone else suddenly appears, it will be viewed suspiciously.
‘Or should I use invisibility while walking in an alley or something?’
Min Do-jun shook his head again.
If you suddenly disappear, people may mistake you for being followed.
Any sudden actions were prohibited.
‘Huh… … Or should I just kill him?’
If the Black Sea Guild knew that Lee Cheon-sik was following them, killing him would be the worst option.
If Lee Cheon-sik dies, the Black Sea Guild will be the first to suspect him.
If that happens, it’s only a matter of time before you become a target of the Black Sea Guild.
‘Then what should I do… … .’
Min Do-jun, who had been thinking hard, picked up his smartphone.
There were dozens of missed calls.
All the calls were from my high school classmates.
I guess he really wanted to contact me, his phone has been ringing like this for the past few days.
‘He must have called because he knew I became a hunter and wanted to get some beans.’
It’s not that I’m just looking at it negatively, it really was like that.
The guys before the regression congratulated me on becoming a hunter, but in the end they begged me to lend them some money.
They were guys with a clear purpose.
‘I lent it to you because you asked so much, but guess what?’
They just say, “Pay it back, wait a minute,” but not a single person actually pays it back.
‘I’ve cut all ties with him since then.’
Because of that experience, Min Do-jun didn’t receive any contact from his classmates from the beginning.
But I think I might need to call once in a while.
Doo do …
The beeping sound is followed by a startled voice.
-Huh! Is that Do-Jun?
“Yeah. It’s been a while, Sang-hyung.”
The person Min Do-jun called was Kim Sang-hyung, who was in the same class as him in the first grade.
-Hey, do you remember my name?
“Of course. We were partners.”
-Why are you calling me now? I’ve called you so many times!
“I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to contact you.”
-Well, you must be busy now that you’ve become a hunter.
“How did you know I was a hunter?”
It was a question I’d always wondered about.
How on earth did it spread that I’m getting so many calls?
-Hyungchan told me.
“Im Hyeong-chan?”
He was a classmate who sold the location of the maze dungeon before returning.
‘He’s a guy I can’t forget.’
Because he was a piece of trash who sold information even though he knew he wouldn’t be able to get in because his level was low.
‘You’ve been calling me to sell me information in this life too, haven’t you?’
I got a phone call once when I was blocking the dungeon break and just found the maze dungeon.
Of course, I was able to conquer it in the shortest amount of time possible using only information.
‘You probably still don’t know that I’ve conquered you.’
I haven’t heard from him since then, so I don’t know what happened.
-Hyungchan works at the Hunter Management Center. He said he saw your level.
“Oh, really? But did you say it yourself? That I became a hunter?”
-No. Didn’t he say that when we asked?
‘also.’
There is no way that Lim Hyeong-chan, who has an inferiority complex, would have brought up the subject first.
-By the way, Dojun, do you have time?
“If you have it?”
-We haven’t seen each other since graduation. We should meet up and have a drink.
‘Thank goodness you said what I was going to say first.’
Min Do-jun smiled faintly.
“Okay. Let’s meet up. How about we meet at 6 and have dinner?”
-Okay. I’ll call the others too.
“Are you going to call the girls too?”
Min Do-jun’s class was a co-ed class.
Of course, there were female students among my classmates.
-Well? What should I do? If you want, I won’t call you.
“No, just call a few people. I don’t know if they’ll come.”
-If Dojun says you’re coming, Dangppa will come out! Hehe.
“Then, choose a suitable place and send me a text message.”
-Okay. See you later.
After making the appointment and ending the call, Min Do-jun started preparing to go out.
‘Want to meet some friends after a long time?’
