Episode 126
“Why are there all these bastards?”
An extremely expected reaction came out of Bisu.
It’s not just her.
All of the ‘Irregular’ members sitting together did not hide their discomfort.
“Is it our fault that they disappeared during the ranking match? “Why are they shifting the blame for not being able to sell weapons to us?”
“That’s what I said.”
“You shameful bastards. I have to force myself to take first place in this competition. Hey, Cheon Hae-seon! “You can do it, right?”
“You should do that. “The first thing to do is to figure out what kind of tricks they are using.”
Then Yuk Cheol-wan asked with a worried face.
“Is that possible? If Franco meets a WHPO official in secret… … For us, it is difficult to confirm the contents… … .”
“It’s possible.”
Everyone’s eyes widened at my decisive answer.
“When it comes to espionage, there’s nothing like this guy.”
A transparent ampoule taken out of the bag.
The members who saw it all said in unison.
“Stealth?”
Squāma, an infamous boss mob that secretly sprays toxic substances.
‘Stealth’ is a colorless and odorless solution obtained from Squama’s body.
Just by applying this solution, you can hide the natural properties of any material.
“That’s not yet… … “Did you have it?”
Maria asks with slightly reproachful eyes.
Since its very existence is an object suitable for suspicious work, there is a sense of disapproval about using it.
“Sister, what does that mean? While the other party is now plotting to f*ck us up. “You can’t just sit back and suffer, right?”
“that… … but.”
“okay. Dagger. You said it well. “He’s definitely the right person for an infiltration mission.”
“cancer. yes. This is exactly what I am suited for… … what?”
Bisu, who was raising his nose, suddenly asks me with a blank expression.
“infiltration? I?”
“Then who will do it? “Is there anyone here who can use stealth skills other than daggers?”
“ah. “I see.”
Bisu, who was scratching his head, said, ‘Of course!’ and coolly accepted the mission.
“But now that I think about it, why do you want to use ‘stealth’ when you have a hiding skill? “I don’t need it anyway.”
“uh. “This is not for you.”
After saying that, I turned my head towards Kang Jeong-hyeon.
“The plant I mentioned before. What was your name? “A friend whose leaves and branches react to each other.”
“ah… … . “Are you born in heaven?”
Bisu giggled and asked at Kang Jeong-hyeon’s answer.
“What’s next for Chewy?”
“I just chose a name that was easy for me to call… … .”
Kang Jeong-hyeon scratched his head and quietly muttered, ‘I’m fired.’
Shurrrr.
A small stem sprouted from the textile device attached to the shoulder.
And at the end of the stem were three or four very small leaves.
“cute!”
Bisu’s eyes sparkled and he made a fuss.
A mysterious plant that can sense each other’s energy even when its leaves fall off.
This plant, named after ‘Match Made in Heaven’, was the key to this operation.
“Shall we try it?”
“yes yes.”
Kang Jeong-hyeon turned around, and I ripped off Cheonsaeng’s leaf with a ‘snap’ and attached it to someone.
“Okay, that’s enough. “Guess who gave the leaves of ‘Cheonsaengi’?”
Since I turned around, of course I couldn’t have seen it.
If the ability of ‘Cheonsaengi’ is true, Kang Jeong-hyeon will be able to sense where the leaf is.
“Let me begin.”
As Kang Jeong-hyeon closes his eyes and concentrates, the stem slightly protruding from his shoulder makes his body tremble.
“Wow, this is amazing. “It’s like a living creature!”
“So is the plant alive or dead?”
“ah?”
Bisu pouted his mouth at my scolding, and in the meantime, the stem of ‘Cheonsaengi’ wandered around desperately looking for his other half.
‘Once you figure this out, there’s no need to doubt its effectiveness.’
Everyone was watching Cheonsaeng’s movements with half anticipation and half concern.
That’s because the problem I posed was more difficult than I thought.
If you think about it simply, it is a test that is difficult to pass.
However, contrary to our concerns, the effect of Cheonsaengi was very clear.
Slurp… … .
The stem that has been continuously extending comes towards me.
Then, it passes by my ear and heads toward the vase on the corner table.

A situation where some people may suspect that something is broken(?).
However, the expressions on the Irregular members’ faces were more flushed than ever.
Slur… … .
The stem heading towards the vase arrived at the blind spot at the back, and soon succeeded in capturing someone(?)’s body by making a circle around it.
-dream?
A pori trapped by a stem looks around and cries.
Unlike usual, green leaves were growing on one of Pori’s wings.
“Oh oh!”
The statement that the petals were hidden from the members is a fake.
I attached flower petals to Pori’s wings and placed them in the blind spot, and ‘Cheonsaeng’ miraculously found his other half.
“There is no doubt about this.”
Maria also patted Kang Jeong-hyeon’s shoulder as if she was amazed at Cheonsaeng’s detection ability.
“We will apply stealth to these petals and attach them to Franco’s body. Then, you won’t be able to see ‘Cheonsaengi’ for a while. “If anything suspicious is discovered about Franco’s movements, Visu will use stealth to infiltrate.”
“It’s awesome. Sounds like a spy movie? Hee hee!”
“The remaining members stand by nearby just in case. It seems like quite a few people think that Korea is easy… … .”
Everyone felt the same way without saying anything.
Since the news that the Glory Guild was faltering, Korea has been facing challenges from both dark and sunny sides.
“Let’s properly show why we came to represent our country.”
* * *
Murmur.
The second day of the World Hunter Forum was held in a large exhibition hall a little away from Burj Khalifa.
The official name of the event is ‘Hunter Device Expo’.
This is a place where device manufacturers active around the world display and advertise their future technologies.
“wow… … . big… … !”
No one’s jaw dropped to the floor like a dagger, but other Irregular members felt the same way.
The exhibition hall was large enough to accommodate thousands of people.
Considering that the number of hunters is only about 500 at most, it seems like a waste.
However, none of the companies gathered here thought that the number of participants was small.
Quality over quantity.
The hunters who visited the exhibition hall are the world’s strongest hunters and trend-leading heroes.
Even if they fight with wooden chopsticks that have no function in their hands, many hunters will go to the wooden chopsticks manufacturer the next day and purchase the goods in bulk.
One hunter here is actually worth hundreds or more.
“Wow, look at this.”
“like. “This device is a bit novel.”
“Come in here and take a closer look… … !!”
Although top companies and the best hunters gathered, the scene shown was no different from an ordinary fair.
Hunters expressed deep interest in devices that would make their weapons stronger, and companies were eager to attract customers because marketing was possible just by winning a provisional contract.
However, there was a hunter who looked at all this with droopy eyes.
Roy Hiddleston.
Even though there were eye-popping, state-of-the-art devices all over the place, his expression did not change even while his companions were excitedly running around.
Rather, there was a faint sneer on his lips.
‘I don’t have much in my hands, so I’m trying to grab something. ‘Pathetic bastards.’
Some people may think this is a very arrogant idea, but it is true.
He has never worn any special devices while working as a hunter.
To be precise, there was no need.
Because the one and only skill he had, ‘contact’, was enough.
As soon as the small ether thread extending from his hand touches the opponent, whether it is a hunter or a monster, they become his puppet.
If you die, you don’t pretend to die, you actually die.
To Roy, cutting-edge devices were not interesting at all.
At least he occasionally glanced at the protective gear that protected the hunter’s body, but there was no object that captured his heart.
‘Ugh… … .’
Meanwhile, a group appeared that strongly caught Roy’s attention.
A group of five people, just like themselves, looking at the device with dull expressions on their faces.
They were a team called ‘Irregular’ from Korea.
‘Those kids… … !!’
A spark burst into Roy’s eyes.
That night, his expectations that he would be able to easily take the sword were completely wrong.
I don’t know how long ago, from the moment the little dragon bit the thread of ‘contact’.
It was truly shocking to Roy.
Confirming the reality of ‘contact’ and defeating it was impossible without going beyond S rank and becoming ‘super level’.
But how could a monster smaller than the palm of your hand, who had not yet grown properly, see through his abilities?
As a result, Bisu came back to his senses, and he experienced being slapped for the first time in a long time.
Puzzle.
By nature, people tend to be more obsessed with what they don’t have.
From that moment on, Roy’s passion for bisu was burning.
Roy was a man who had to get drunk with a woman he had set his sights on before he could be relieved.
It was enough to touch even a member of the British imperial family, who might lose his head if he were not careful.
It was a little surprising that the Korean Association did not formally protest, but such cases were actually more common than expected.
‘What can I do with all these things?’
The reason why ‘contact’ is considered the best skill is that it is difficult to grasp the reality.
The thread he stretches cannot be detected by any equipment, and if ‘contact’ with the subject is lost, it does not take long for the ether to oxidize.
The thread of ‘contact’ that the baby dragon was holding at that time would have disappeared without a trace by now.
The parties involved will be furious, but if we remain ignorant, we won’t be able to find evidence even if we die or wake up.
If a hunter uses his abilities on another hunter, it is a serious crime, but Roy used it without hesitation because he trusted him.
Roy spied them from afar, half with anger and half with greed.
What was surprising was that the Irregulars, who were looking around like hillbillies, soon changed to a sour expression.
Considering that the device expo is the place where hunters who come to the World Hunter Forum for the first time unanimously praise it, it was quite a surprising appearance.
Maria, that’s the case, but I heard that it was definitely the other four people’s first time here.
Roy, who was separated from the Mavericks, could not translate and hear what they were saying.
“Understand the user’s heart rate and adjust the ability level… … ? “Not even brain waves?”
“This variable device is no better than Exa’s claws.”
“It’s better than Korea’s Guntech, but… … “I guess I had too many expectations.”
The Irregular members pouted their lips and each expressed their disappointment.
It is clear that the weapons here are advanced devices incorporating cutting-edge technologies.
Prototypes that haven’t even been mass-produced yet.
However, the reason Irregular’s response was so lukewarm was because the devices they already had were more cutting-edge.
“Looking at me like this, I can see how amazing Dr. Jin is. He even develops it alone… … .”
“Yes?”
Cheon Hae-seon smiled at Maria’s words.
He also had the same thoughts as Maria.
The devices here are clearly advanced compared to the prototype, but if you change the reference point to ‘Dr. Jin’, it becomes the exact opposite.
The devices they were wearing were at least several steps more advanced than those demonstrated here.
Is that why?
While he was looking around with no interest in the product, a familiar blonde hair came into Cheon Hae-seon’s field of vision.
“… … “Let’s get started quickly.”
Cheon Hae-seon gave instructions without moving his lips, and his colleagues nodded as if they could not see them.
“okay.”
