Episode 142
That was not the greeting translated by the interpreter.
Cheon Hae-seon greeted him in familiar French, and Franco could not help but fall into panic once again.
‘Did you know I would come?’
But how.
Arriving at the entrance to the ‘Stairs of Hell’ dungeon was a spontaneous decision.
I didn’t make a schedule in advance, much less made an appointment with Cheon Hae-seon.
Toward Franco, who was in confusion, Cheon Hae-seon continued speaking while circling.
“I wonder if there’s a saying like this in France too.”
Slowly, step by step, Cheon Hae-seon moves towards Franco.
“The criminal always returns to the scene. “There’s a saying like that in Korea.”
“… … !!”
What was so funny? The corners of Cheon Hae-seon’s mouth rose to the sky.
And only then was Franco able to grasp the situation.
This means that something was discovered around the dungeon.
That was a blatant lie.
It was a lie to draw out the fact that I was already anxious and curious.
‘I was hit… … !!’
Franco came to the scene of the crime as if possessed by something.
Cheon Hae-seon used his psychology to set a trap, and Franco bit the trap as if he was proud of it.
Even though he expected that he would not receive any special income from coming here, he had no choice but to come here.
curiosity.
Because of that damn curiosity.
Quickly.
Although he did not open his mouth, the sound of teeth grinding clearly reached Cheon Hae-seon’s ears.
It may sound unpleasant to others, but to him it sounded sweet, like a heavenly harmony.
“They say needle thieves are cattle thieves. “It’s a big problem because you keep telling lies.”
From Chen to Franco.
Cheon Hae-seon smiled self-deprecatingly at the current situation where the amount of ether that needs to be increased remains the same, but the power (?) is increasing day by day.
Of course, it was a very, very uncomfortable smile for Franco.
“You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for you to come here. What if you don’t come? But I guess people can’t live without sinning.”
needle.
It feels like thousands or tens of thousands of needles are flying out and pricking my body.
Is this life or fighting spirit?
What was certain was that Cheon Hae-seon’s extremely ferocious ether was heading towards him.
“Are you curious? “How I neutralized the White Snake.”
“… … .”
Franco didn’t answer, but he didn’t deny it either.
I was curious about that, so I came here the night before my departure.
“I was bitten by a white snake. a lot. But, well, it stung a bit.”
“mensonge (lie)!!!!”
Franco could not hold back any longer and raised his voice.
His face was covered with such passion that his curled brown mustache was trembling.
“You have to say bullshit in moderation! No one can afford to live with dozens of blows to a white snake! Fool me once, don’t fool me twice!”
“That’s a shame.”
Sometimes, even if you tell the truth, the other person does not accept it.
In fact, Cheon Hae-seon was bitten by dozens of white snakes and survived.
It’s just that the other person thinks it’s impossible.
Cheon Hae-seon expressed sincere regret toward Franco.
“I will find out the cause, even if it means dragging you by force. What strange tricks did they pull in the dungeon? Also, where did they take Gu Geon… … !!”
“That’s a shame too. “I don’t know where Goo Geon went.”
“Do not be ridiculous.”
Why didn’t that bastard believe the truth from earlier?
Cheon Hae-seon felt unfair, but decided to stay still for now.
Because I thought it was cute to see him being subtly playful.
Brrrr… … .
Although it was covered in pitch-black darkness everywhere, Cheon Hae-seon, who had developed five senses, could see it clearly.
From beneath its feet, a purple mist of tiny particles was slowly approaching this direction.
Discreetly and secretly.
‘Ohh.’
Now that I see it, it seems like there was a reason why he was so overly excited.
The idea is to divert attention and launch a surprise attack.
Getting angry at what I said seemed closer to what I call ‘jinten’, but on the other hand, he was trying to take advantage of that emotion.
It’s not like he’s an ‘S’ ranker representing the country for nothing.
Cheon Hae-seon thought about that and asked a question, pretending not to know.
“From what you’re saying, it looks like you’re trying to kidnap me, but under international hunter law, that’s a serious crime. “Do you know what you are doing?”
“That’s none of your business. You must have fabricated records through fraudulent means. Otherwise, it would be impossible for six people to break through to the 5th floor.”
What an unfair method.

What a hard time I had there.
Cheon Hae-seon grinned and slightly lifted both shoulders.
“what… … “Everyone only thinks about the vision they have.”
At those words, Franco’s mustache trembled again.
Not only is he the one who tricked me into coming here, but he also has a great talent for ripping people off every time he opens his mouth.
‘But now that too is over.’
In fact, Franco is not the type to easily gain the upper hand in fights between Esperage and Hunters who specialize in dungeon raids.
In particular, he would allow warriors who rushed at him with ignorance to attack first without even having time to use his ‘Deep Sleep’.
So Franco had his own clear strategy.
A strategy to reveal emotions without filtering, while secretly sending a ‘deep sleep’ to the other person.
Although his anger at Cheon Hae-sun was 100% sincere, Franco instinctively succeeded in spreading ‘deep sleep’ to the opponent’s surroundings.
Some may wonder why he is making such a fuss, but it turns out that it was his strategy.
If Roy spread a thread of ether that ‘cannot be blocked even by looking at it’, Franco’s ‘deep sleep’ was an attack method that ‘cannot be avoided once you know it’.
Suddenly, the purple fog began to surround Cheon Hae-seon’s waist, and Cheon Hae-seon was only smiling wickedly, whether he knew it or not.
‘It’s a success… … !’
Once ‘deep sleep’ has stuck to the body, it is difficult to remove it.
It would be easier to cut the air in the atmosphere.
Franco’s expression had suddenly changed into a triumphant one.
“I wonder what kind of expression you will make when you wake up from snoring.”
“Are you snoring? Now is the time to sleep… … . Haam.”
Cheon Hae-seon stretches and yawns.
At that naturally virtuous appearance, a question mark appears above Franco’s head.
‘Are you really sleepy or not?’
‘Deep Sleep’ had already taken control of Cheon Hae-seon’s entire body.
Of course, yawning is normal.
But for some reason, it didn’t seem like there was any sincerity in that look.
It feels like I’m making fun of myself.
Franco became anxious, but decided to wait and see what happened for now.
In the case of hunters with excellent healing abilities, there were cases where they could withstand ‘deep sleep’ a little longer.
“What are you waiting for?”
“… … !”
Some time has passed, but there is still no movement from Cheon Hae-seon.
Franco was confused.
This is because I couldn’t decide whether my body was really not moving due to ‘deep sleep’ or if I was intentionally keeping still.
I’ve been using the skill for over ten years, but this was the first time I’ve seen this kind of reaction from an opposing hunter.
Hunter? No, I have never felt this sense of discomfort even when dealing with boss mobs.
“I feel a little drowsy. “Would you like to tell me something interesting to wake you up?”
“… … “A guy who might die soon talks a lot.”
“listen. “Because it’s a really interesting story.”
Cheon Hae-seon started laughing and then giggled, and Franco had to feel uncomfortable once again at that sight.
“Roy Hiddleston returned to England as a half-asshole. “What do you think I did then?”
“… … .”
That was something Franco had no way of knowing.
The only information he received was that ‘Roy and Cheon Hae-seon had a fight, and the British team withdrew from the dungeon attack due to Roy receiving a crushing blow.’
There was not a single line of reporting about what kind of confrontation took place there.
So Franco was also curious.
Why did Roy, who had a powerful technique called ‘Contact’, get crushed by Cheon Hae-seon without even being able to use his strength?
“I just didn’t do anything. “Just like the white snake bit me, I let the contact thread get stuck in my body.”
“Are you trying to bluff again?”
“Like the trick you were doing a little while ago.”
“… … !!”
You already knew… … !
A chilling sensation runs down Franco’s spine.
One step.
Cheon Hae-seon took a step towards Franco.
“I really like dealing with fellow esper types. “Whether it’s fire, telekinesis, or poor sleeping gas.”
Despite the remarks downgrading his ‘deep sleep’, Franco could not say anything.
This was because an unidentifiable pressure was throbbing all over his body.
“You just have to look at the quality of the ether to determine the outcome. “You can win without lifting a finger. Is there a more convenient way than this?”
Cheon Hae-seon’s once white skin turns red.
The grumpy red face makes you feel like a demon from hell.
Why did the tone of his face suddenly change?
‘for a moment… … .’
It wasn’t just Cheon Hae-seon’s skin color that turned red.
Everything in his field of vision turned red.
What was wrong was not the world in front of him, but his own eyes, which he had become addicted to.
“Wow!!”
Franco had to vomit up everything he ate due to the sudden feeling of nausea.
Anger, fear, fear and absurdity made his whole body tremble.
“You can’t tell if you just look at the ground like that. “They won’t believe you even if you tell them the truth, so check for yourself.”
I was already planning to check it out.
Cheon Hae-seon, who should have fallen asleep at any moment, was standing still, shivering from pain he had never experienced before.
He looked at the scene before him with bloodshot eyes, and was so shocked that he thought he would faint.
‘It was encroached upon… … !!!!’
The fog he had scattered was seriously polluted.
The purple color slowly changed to dark red as if it had never happened before.
The ‘Deep Sleep’ skill he used against Cheon Hae-seon was in the form of strangling his own neck.
“profit… … !!”
Franco urgently retrieved his skills.
collect?
No, I just threw it on the floor.
Normally, it would have been collected to preserve the ether, but the ‘Deep Sleep’ that had turned dark red was no longer ether or anything else.
It’s just a poison that ruins your body, a deadly poison.
However, the voice heard in Franco’s struggling ear drove him into further despair.
“It’s already too late.”
It was clearly visible to Cheon Hae-seon’s eyes.
Franco’s broken body in a state of addiction.
If you leave it like this for a few minutes, even if Hwata comes back alive, there is no way to fix it.
‘It’s okay to kill it, but there’s nothing you can gain from it.’
Although he’s an annoying guy, it’s worth using.
Cheon Hae-seon slowly lowered his knees and was at eye level with Franco.
The floor was already covered in the blood he had spit out.
Franco’s complexion was now darkening by the second.
“So you should have figured it out well. Have you forgotten that I’m multi-talented?”
I already knew that I was multi-talented.
I just didn’t know it would be this strong.
The skill activated by Esper is swallowed in reverse?
It was a strange skill that Franco had never heard of since he started eating hunter food.
“how… … that… … .”
Now, my body’s organs had collapsed to the point where I couldn’t even speak a single sentence properly.
As Franco was also a veteran who had experienced many hardships, he knew the situation he was in better than anyone else.
If you continue like this, you will soon die.
It feels like every cell in my body is collapsing.
Pain that he did not want to remember even after death was raging throughout his body.
Although it was just a common pain that Cheon Hae-seon experienced during his illness, it was a living hell for the person involved for the first time in his life.
Franco mustered all his remaining strength and uttered one last word.
“Save me… … Give it… … .”
“… … hmm.”
Cheon Hae-seon licks his lips as if he is in serious trouble.
Even in that split second, Franco was suffering from pain that made him feel like he was going to pass out.
“good. “I’ll save you.”
It was humiliating, but at that time, Cheon Hae-seon felt like the irreplaceable Messiah.
Messiah smiled warmly at Franco, whose blood was pouring out like a flood.
“Instead, answer the questions from now on.”
