Episode 73
[Cheon Hae-seon exposes the corruption of the association]
[From noble hunter to national hero! The supernova hunter who destroyed Tenebra!]
[What method does the healer use? People’s interest in Cheon Hae-seon’s abilities has exploded!]
[Take first place in the previous rankings! What is the current location of Cheonhaeseon, which has open combat capabilities?]
[Reconstruction of the incident, is Cheon Hae-seon a multi-ability?!]
[The duplicity of the association revealed in detail. What kind of person was the ape?]
[Growing suspicions… … Intentional negligence by the Glory Guild at the scene.]
Although the content each media company focused on was slightly different, the essence was the same.
The performance of S-rank healer Cheon Hae-seon.
Everyone, both those who watched the press conference and those who saw it later, heaped praise on Cheon Hae-seon.
└You caught Kang Hyeon, who even the association’s special team couldn’t do? Is that also healer Cheon Hae-seon?
└Isn’t this really an event that only happens once every 100 years?
└How does Healer catch Kang Hyeon? Where did they prepare the latest killing devices?
└Kang Hyeon’s physical level is S rank. Will the weapon work?
└Oh, I’m going crazy with curiosity. Why is there no video of Cheon Hae-seon with Kang Hyeon?
└Okay. I’m sure the Hunter Association doesn’t intend to release that video for a fee ㅡㅡ
└I’m willing to watch it even if they ask me to pay. This is Kang-hyun, who caught Goo-geon like a rat. How did he catch such a guy?
└Isn’t Cheon Hae-seon going to be the top Korean player in the next ranking match?
└Hey… It’s the same for silently clearing up the Poison Dungeon and solving the train incident. This time, we even cleared out Tenebra. At this level, he is at the level of a hero who saved the country.
└According to secret information, Cheon Hae-seon has S-rank physical power. That’s why Kang Hyeon was such a fan. This is a really solid source.
└Gura Nono. I heard that Cheon Hae-seon knows how to use illusions? They manipulated Kang Hyeon’s brain waves and made him commit suicide!
└All the bastards who are aggroing us with lies need to be thrown in here ㅡㅡ
└Wow, a healer who can kill knights. It’s crazy. He’s a hunter with virtually no weaknesses, right? It’s literally an attack and defense!!
Domestic public opinion was so excited that it was on the verge of exploding.
People wanted Cheon Hae-seon to appear in an interview, but there was no way he would appear in the media as he did not even come to the press conference.
For a while, he concentrated on clearing the poison dungeon predicted by Doisu.
Of course, even that only took place late at night when people were asleep.
As Cheon Hae-seon became quiet, the public’s attention now diverged in a different direction.
That was the disappointment with the Hunter Association and the Glory Guild.
In particular, criticism of the Glory Guild was spreading like wildfire.
As news spread that Goo Geon and Maria were at the scene where Yoo Ji-won died, the public was caught up in a sense of betrayal.
Glory Guild belatedly released a statement saying, ‘The news of Yoo Ji-won’s death was misrepresented because of pressure from the vice president,’ but all that came back was people’s ridicule.
This is because no one knew that the Vice President and the Glory Guild had been in a collusive relationship for a long time.
Because it was such a shocking event, minor news stories were quickly forgotten in people’s memories.
The same goes for the ‘Yeoncheon-gun bombing incident’.
The bodies of those who appeared to be awakened were found in piles, and the DNA of some of them was confirmed to be that of a ‘wanted man.’
If it were a time when there were no major issues, it would have been quite an interesting incident.
However, since it was revealed that the association’s vice president had instigated the murder of a member of the organization’s hunters, there was no case that would attract more attention than this.
Those who were quick to notice realized that this was a fight between the remaining forces of ‘Tenebra’ over 90 billion.
However, the person who deposited the money died, the person who received it also died, and those who could split and share the money were too greedy and ended up in the same situation.
The largest criminal group in the country disappeared without a sound.

“Maria contacted me.”
“Maria?”
Dr. Jin’s voice is full of surprise.
It has to be that way.
Even I, who answered the phone, suspected it was someone else.
Although it was unintentional, the person who suffered the most from this revelation was Maria.
Even if Goo Geon always smelled bad, Maria was a person with a morally perfect image, enough to be given the title ‘Virgin’.
It goes without saying that if your expectations are high, you will be disappointed.
The public felt a greater sense of betrayal towards her than Goo Geon-i.
If the association makes a mistake, shouldn’t you at least step in and correct it?
That was precisely why people were disappointed in Maria.
“It sounded like everyone was dying.”
“I guess so… … .”
Dr. Jin clicked his tongue and looked away.
He doesn’t like to talk about the past.
No, saying I don’t like it isn’t enough.
It’s a relief if the trauma doesn’t kick in.
However, Dr. Jin had no particular objection to telling Maria’s story.
At least she seemed to have a blind belief that she would never harm herself.
After being silent for a moment, Dr. Jin said something unexpected to me.
“Maybe Maria really didn’t know.”
“yes?”
“A person’s disposition does not change easily. Maria was a child who only focused on saving people and hunters, and had no interest in anything else.”
“hmm.”
“I also heard this story briefly before… … . They say that sometimes Maria goes into hiding.”

“Chip?”
“After conquering a high-difficulty dungeon or a major incident occurring, Maria’s appearance would disappear for a long time. Of course, the Glory Guild denies this… … .”
“Why don’t you go somewhere and confess?”
I chuckled and dismissed Dr. Jin’s story.
No matter where her true intentions lie, the fact that Maria is a member of the Glory Guild remains the same.
That’s why I don’t completely open my heart to her.
It was the Glory Guild that abandoned the residents of Gaejeong-dong and clearly witnessed Yoo Ji-won’s death.
Didn’t they even get help from me on the day they killed Yoo Ji-won?
It’s something you can’t really understand unless you’re locked in a room for days on end.
“ah. And Doctor.”
“hmm?”
“A proposal came to CEO Do Isu. “I want to support your research.”
Dr. Jin was silent for a moment, and I continued my explanation.
“They said they would provide space and equipment for independent research. They say they will not touch the research results at all. It seems like a condition for giving too much, but… … . “I want to hear what you think, doctor.”
“I have to go.”
oh?
The answer was more immediate than I expected.
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“I can’t be indebted to this house forever. “Right now we have no choice but to live together, but I was planning on finding a place to live by the time you moved.”
“hmm… … .”
Is this what it feels like to release a child into the water?
Since I’m in a mentally unstable state, I don’t readily say things like that.
In fact, a separate space was set aside for Dr. Jin in the new house he was moving into.
“haha. Don’t worry. “Because CEO Do Isu is a trustworthy person.”
“I don’t know how long it’s been since those words came out of the doctor’s mouth.”
“You may have noticed that day, but Doisu and I are spherical. We’ve shared research together in the past. “It’s about special radio waves coming from the dungeon.”
I felt that way when we looked at each other in the helicopter.
I know it, but it’s difficult to pretend to know it.
It was Do Isu’s consideration for Dr. Jin, who was being chased.
“Still, I’m worried.”
“Don’t worry too much. Because Umbrella Industries’ laboratory is safer than where I lived. Besides, the strongest hunter in the country is taking care of me, so who would dare target this body?”
Looking at the way he was chuckling and laughing, he seemed to have truly calmed down.
In fact, it was because we didn’t talk, so it was a situation where we could see each other quite clearly.
Just like when the rain came, my sister ignored it, saying, ‘It’s just a matter of one more spoon’, but isn’t that true of people’s lives?
There must have been a lot of inconveniences in the small yard of the house.
“I have received so much from the care I have received so far. so… … .”
Dr. Jin took out a small chip set from his pocket.
Most of the devices he created were extraordinary.
However, the chip I just received was an ordinary storage device that can be found anywhere.
“what is this?”
“I heard that your sister, Songhwa, is attending Hunter Device Engineering College.”
“yes. These days, I’m studying while my nose is bleeding. “It’s exam period.”
“Most of the content may be incomprehensible now, but the content contained here will be of great help to Songhwa in the future.”
“haha. “You speak as if the essence of your research is contained here.”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right… … yes????”
I couldn’t help but look at Dr. Jin with wide eyes.
No, you’re just giving me that precious thing like this?
It’s hard to say how great Dr. Jin’s abilities are.
Even now, at the Hunter Association’s research institute, numerous scientists are struggling to solve the mechanism of the device that Dr. Jin left behind.
This is something that was made more than 5 years ago.
When the director of the Association Research Institute reprimanded the institute, saying, ‘Why haven’t you been able to implement the mechanism until now?’ the researchers’ response was a masterpiece.
‘I’m sorry, but we are not Dr. Jin.’
That one line of sentence in the article clearly revealed Dr. Jin’s majesty.
“Why are you so surprised? “Can’t I do something like this to the benefactor who saved my life?”
“No, but this… … .”
This is an inexhaustible item that cannot be valued in money.
If you are a hunter device engineer, you will want to have it even if you have to throw everything away.
It’s nice to see my older sister looking so shocked that she’s already about to faint.
It didn’t end there.
Dr. Jin showed his enthusiasm by saying that he would provide private tutoring for his sister after she had mastered the basics.
Searching through any of the Hunter Association’s materials, I have never heard of Dr. Jin putting any effort into training the next generation.
‘For some reason, every time I look at my sister, she has a professor-like face.’
A genius opportunity for an engineering student.
He waved his hands and said, ‘It’s not to that extent,’ but it seemed like he was trying to raise his sister as his successor.
The successor to Dr. Jin’s research.
The incredible benefits are making me feel dizzy.
If possible, I wanted to end the conversation in such a warm atmosphere, but there was one thing I needed to confirm.
“I entered the spirit world not long ago.”
“The spirit world?”
A strange look appears in Dr. Jin’s eyes.
Even though he had experienced many hardships before birth, he did not have much information about the ‘spirit world’.
“yes. “When I drank the liquid given by the Yaksha, the decoma water, a completely new world opened up to me.”
“Decoma… … . It seems like there really is nothing on the black market. So, what was the spirit world like that you experienced?”
“greatly… … “It was a strange feeling.”
“weird?”
“yes. At first glance, it seems like there’s nothing different from this world, but the more you look at it, the more it feels like it’s not of this world? It was like watching a poison dungeon without the poison. and… … .”
Dr. Jin was drawing a picture of the spirit world in his head using my story.
But that innocent face did not last long.
“I saw Kirill there.”
“… … !!”
This is a story I wanted to tell a long time ago.
I tried to speak up at Dr. Jin’s residence, but I had no chance because I was attacked by ‘Tenebra’ guys.
“Kyril… … In the spirit world… … .”
“Doctor Jin didn’t know either?”
Then Dr. Jin gave a wry smile.
“Isn’t he a very shy child? “It wouldn’t be surprising if he was from the underworld and not the spirit world.”
… … Isn’t the afterlife a bit over the line?
“Before the four months were born to Cyril… … “There was something that kid said to me.”
Dr. Jin’s plump cheeks start to get excited.
Just thinking about what happened ‘that day’ seems to drain the color from my face.
But even so, Dr. Jin did not stop talking.
“War… … .”
“War… … Hey… … ?”
Dr. Jin’s dark, anxious pupils turn towards me.
“Kyril said we must prepare for war.”
