SSS-Class Suicide Hunter Chapter 290

Episode 290 < Abandoned believers. (1) >

One.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

When the explosion sound was heard, the customers at the bar panicked.

“Well, what is it? what’s the matter?”

“Damn it. Here we go again… !”

The guests did not take refuge somewhere or hide under the table. I was afraid that the drinks and snacks on the table would fall over, so I just grabbed them with both hands. Here, on the 50th floor, explosions were just an everyday occurrence.

“iced coffee. Microphone test. Microphone test.

While the hall was in disarray, a voice rang out from the sky.

People, including me, looked at the source of the voice.

“The Magic Tower would like to apologize for the noise between floors.”

Magic Tower.

Along with this street bar, it was a uniquely familiar place on the 50th floor.

When I tried to capture the Constellation Killer some time ago, the witches of the Magic Tower also participated. The base where they stayed, the Magic Tower, consisted of five spiers and stood tall in the sky.

As if an earth giant had stretched out five fingers to grab the sky.

‘The force that has ruled this 50th floor for over a thousand years… ‘Did you say that?’

I glanced at Bae Hu-ryeong.

‘It’s also Won Sujin’s neighborhood with you, right?’

-No, no. I don’t have any feelings towards them.

Bae Hu-ryeong argued naturally.

-They just hate me one-sidedly. really. On the contrary, I am in a very unfair position.

‘… … I heard you knocked down one of the original six towers. ‘Why did the wronged person do that?’

-No, look. The kids look gloomy just by looking at it. I stay in the tower all the time and do research, but it almost smells like mold. I drilled a hole in the tower to encourage people to live with ventilation sometimes. When I think about it, I deserve to be thanked. They even did the remodeling for free, right? Anyway, the richest people on the 50th floor have no morals. Tsk tsk.

‘It just seems like you have no morals… … .’

The voice sent from the Magic Tower resounded loudly throughout the city. People drinking in the open air, people doing business on stalls, and vagabonds playing dice in broad daylight, everyone stopped their daily routine and looked up at the five towers in a daze.

“I will be the spokesperson for the Magic Tower. Well, it’s not much of a story. “Today, there are terrorists who did not know their subject and tried to trick us, so I am posting this notice.”

“The explosion sound that just hit your eardrums is exactly what those terrorists did… . Hey, hey. Bring it here. No, not there. Write! Of course. “That’s there.”

At that moment, the voices of people other than the spokesperson were sharply torn.

“The magic tower is imprisoning our comrades!”

“Well, we are followers of Lord Hamustra!”

I paused.

Believers of Hamustra?

“We are all librarians who have officially entered the public route! The Magic Tower illegally oppressed and imprisoned us!”

“everyone! If we don’t all work together now, someday you will be like us… … .」

“ah. ah. good. Until there. Ugh.”

A sigh was heard from the spokesperson.

“Anyway, things that don’t even have a master just grow louder. Okay, does everyone understand the situation? The commotion that occurred this time was entirely a terrorist attack committed by idiots who had been abandoned by the Holy See. You know that… .」

“shut up! We were not abandoned by Hamustra!”

“Do you know the difference between the strong and the weak? “The strong only have to shut up when they want to, but the weak have to shut up even when they don’t want to.”

Kwasik!

A strange bursting sound erupted from beyond the sky.

“town! Ugh…!?”

“Yes, as you can see, these guys are weak. It would be a good thing as long as he was weak, but he even got weak and tried to destroy our magic tower’s security system. What is the result… I have a tooth pulled out in my hand right now. Do you understand what I’m talking about?”

“Everyone, please don’t fall for the magic tower.”

The surroundings were in commotion.

“What? Does he look s*xy? hello. When I say “shut up,” I don’t just mean to close my mouth. “I’m telling you to shut your eyes too.”

That’s right, tzuuuuu! Kiiiiii… .

An ominous sound streaked through the cloudy sky. Every time the sound was twisted, someone’s screams, like “sucking” or “ugh,” were intertwined. The moans were broken into seven words and scattered in the sky on the 50th floor.

“…….”

“…….”

Silence fell in the open-air tavern.

The hunters each looked at each other and tried to ignore the screams coming from the sky. Everyone realized that this was a type of public execution. Only the bar owner cleaned the bar, muttering, “Tsk, you’re going so far as to ruin the business.”

“ah. ah. Test the mic one more time.”

“Everyone, if you see any of the old Hamustra believers while walking on the road or in a place that is not a road, please report it. Are you saying they are evil? Well, there will be a small reward, but please think of it as a global cooperation in protecting the city… .」

“Wow, this is annoying too. Anyway, you figured it all out, right? In my hand, I have eight teeth, including incisors, canines, and premolars, all rolling around in my hand. “This tooth could be your friend’s or yours.”

“Good luck.”

The voice suddenly broke off.

The sky was enveloped in silence as always. However, the people of the 50th floor city seemed to be burdened by the silence of the sky. Only after about 10 seconds had passed, the hustle and bustle of everyday life returned at a leisurely pace.

“Awful things. They’re catching the rat believers again… … .”

“The librarians are also very pitiful. “Where did Hamustra disappear to?”

“It’s obvious. “Isn’t that what killed the Constellation Killer?”

“Ugh. “Many people die because of one Constellation Killer.”

It was a conversation I couldn’t help but be interested in. I turned to the table next to me.

“hey. I’d like to ask you something… .”

“what?”

The older hunter frowned.

It was a hunter with curly permed hair and an eyepatch over his left eye.

Not only her, but all the hunters sitting at the same table, regardless of gender. Everyone had curly hair and were wearing eye patches.

“…….”

How could you not be speechless for a moment at that overwhelming visual?

I stuttered and asked as politely as possible.

“… … No, that’s it. hmm. I don’t know much about things on the 50th floor these days… . Three months? I came here after three months. “What on earth is going on like that in the Magic Tower?”

“huh? “Didn’t you hear that Hamustra disappeared?”

The puffy hunters stared at me.

It was extremely burdensome.

“I think I’ve heard of that… .”

“Wow, there are rumors that the Constellation Killer was killed!”

It seems that the Poggeul hunter group was hungry for someone who would listen to their chatter. They chatted loudly as they ate bread snacks that looked like Indian naans.

“The faith of the [Great Librarian of All Things] has been completely cut off for some time now. It is said that it was originally a constellation that was indifferent to its believers and would not respond even when spoken to, but now it is said that its existence is not felt at all. here. “This friend was originally a believer in Hamustra.”

Poppy-haired A tapped poofy-haired B on the side.

Then, pouty-haired B frowned and munched on a piece of bread. This topic seemed very uncomfortable.

“… … Quiet. “Not anymore.”

“Hehe. Even though Hamustra did not have many followers, their loyalty was very high. But she suddenly disappeared? “I understand her librarians are in despair.”

“…….”

I sensed an unusual premonition. Didn’t something big happen because Hamustra lost the power of the Constellation, something I never expected and didn’t know about?

“that… . Was [Great Library Director of All Things] originally popular? ?”

“hmm? no. “It wasn’t particularly popular.”

Poppy-haired A declared.

“[The Great Library Director of all things] is too unfriendly to hunters. Why don’t the other constellations have you clear each of the small quests and then naturally continue to the last quest?”

“ah. yes… … .”

is it?

I don’t know because I’ve never served a constellation as a god.

However, pouty-haired A seemed unable to imagine that I did not serve the constellation. The explanation was passed off as if it were obvious.

“But [Great Librarian of All Things] is different. They just give you one goal, like [save this world from destruction], and let you take care of the rest. Tsk tsk. “It’s so irresponsible that it drives people crazy.”

“…….”

“There is no reward during the quest. There’s no hint. Even if a hunter is in danger, they should be given a chance once or twice, but without even that, they just let him die! To put it nicely, it has a high degree of freedom, but to put it another way, this is just a constellation that neglects its believers. “How could it be so popular?”

“… … “The good thing about Hamustra is that he is so strict.”

B, who had been quietly eating snacks, pouted.

“Ordinary constellations just give you quests and that’s it. Hamustra says he will give us a world where we can function. Do you understand? After preparing everything, we don’t interfere with our players at all. “How great is that!”

“Look. “I heard there is such a thing as this.”

A laughed loudly.

“But it’s over now. Like I said, the response has completely disappeared!”

“…….”

“These believers are also very ignorant. If the master dies, he can quickly find another constellation and serve as the master, but the followers of Hamustra are so loyal that they do not change their faith. Rather, they band together and try to survive… . Can those spider-like squires of the Magic Tower just leave it alone? “Oh no, they are hunters without any support from the Constellation, so we capture them and make them slaves.”

“shut up! Hamustra is not dead! “You just disappeared for a moment to avoid the Constellation Killer’s pursuit!”

Umm… .

“Oh my, be scared. Should I shut up just because they tell me to shut up? That’s what the Magic Tower kids said. The strong don’t have to shut up. After all, I am a hunter who has served the [Lonely Seeker] for over 20 years. He will soon become an apostle. What about you? “Aren’t you the idiot who changed his faith after losing the Master he loved so much?”

“You bastard!”

“uh… . hey.”

I quietly intervened in the argument between the two hunters.

“What if it wasn’t the Constellation Killer who killed Hamustra?”

“hmm?”

“what?”

The hunters looked at us with faces like, ‘What is he talking about?’

They looked down on me as a beginner who knew nothing.

Still, I couldn’t tell these people the truth, so I just tread carefully.

“What I’m saying is…” The reason why Hamustra went missing hasn’t been revealed, right? Right? Maybe it wasn’t the Constellation Killer who killed him, but someone else. Or, really, maybe… … “She might not be dead at all.”

“What if he didn’t die?”

The pouty-haired A asked back with a sneer.

“All of the constellation’s energy has disappeared. No matter how many believers called, there was no answer. But if I hadn’t died, wouldn’t I have run away from home somewhere?”

“… … perhaps… … “Maybe I fell into the world and became human.”

“What, Tacheon? human?”

A laughed loudly. B, who had been having a war of nerves with A just a moment ago, also made a bewildered expression. No, the pouty-haired hunters who were watching our conversation all chuckled.

“her! “This person is definitely a beginner.”

“What do you mean Fallen Heaven? “This is the first time I’ve heard such a thing in my life.”

“Hello, young man. A constellation is a constellation and a human is a human. In particular, Hamustra is famous as the constellation among constellations. I don’t know if I’m going to die. “Where did you hear such nonsense as an urban legend?”

“…….”

It’s true.

Hamustra has become a real person and is working part-time at a cafe.

The topic of part-time workers is very popular, so I get a lot of tips from customers… .

“Of course, it’s possible that someone other than the Constellation Killer killed him. Another constellation killed him. But that can’t be possible! So far, not a single person has declared that they killed Hamustra. “What a feat that is, why would you hide it?”

“okay. There’s no way hunters would miss an opportunity to brag about themselves.”

“The constellations have no reason to hide it. It’s the Constellation Killer, the Constellation Killer. “Even if that crazy guy did it.”

“hmm…….”

I asked last.

“It’s really just a coincidence… … What if the Constellation Killer is not the culprit? “What will happen then?”

It was that moment.

The pouty-haired B’s eyes flashed eerily.

“We must catch that guy and kill him!”

bang!

B was unable to overcome his anger and hit the table.

“dare! How could someone who wasn’t even the Constellation Killer harm our heavenly Librarian, our precious Master! I’m going to throw out a bowl of ink and then throw it as food to the void monsters! bad guy! “I will tear your limbs apart and impale you with needles from head to toe!”

The eyes of B, who was said to be a follower of Hamustra, burned with anger. He lived an amazing life. The other hunters agreed, saying yes, yes.

“The Hamustra gangsters are enormous. My love for Master is real. Cluck cluck. “I don’t know, but if there is a real culprit, Hamustra believers from all over the universe and hunters from all stages will come and kill him.”

“cancer. Even if the death squad can’t do it, there will be thousands more!”

“At least since the Constellation Killer is a space-level idiot, everyone is just hissing. What if someone else and not the Constellation Killer is the culprit? Oh my, it was really crazy back then. “I don’t even want to think about it.”

“There will be a bloody storm!”

The hunters except B laughed haha.

As if I had heard a funny joke.

Of course, I wasn’t entertained at all.

-It’s a zombie. Do you understand now?

“…….”

-Everything I said is the truth without a single lie.

Bae Hu-ryeong smiled at me, who was sweating coldly.

-You are the real evil boss. You idiot, cult leader, Richie.

okay… … .

At least I know that I have one problem to solve on the 50th floor… …..

etc,
