NOVEL NEXT chapter 320
320 – The Woman I Forgot
I wanted to use the skill right away, but I should refrain from doing so until I enter the dungeon.
I sat cross-legged on the floor, closed my eyes, and calmed down my excitement.
Whenever I close my eyes, I focus on the performance.
Yeonhee fell into a deep sleep, hugging a pillow.
Although I have gained good skills and abilities, other concerns become more prominent.
Clearly, her performance ability is much higher now than it was in her previous life.
But now, Yeonhee felt like she lacked the ability to change the situation independently.
Even if a crisis comes, I solve it myself, so I feel like my mental growth is slow.
It would be helpful for Yeonhee’s growth to play the lead role in a situation where I ‘m not around… I’ve often thought about that, but there was no clear solution other than raising my awareness of her of.
And I wondered if it was right to think like that from the perspective of a summoned beast.
In the first place, I am a summon that exists to help Yeonhee, but where am I going to fall?
Still, we must constantly think about whether there is a better way.
‘Yeonhee’s level has risen a lot, but I’m the one with a bigger level difference from the other party members… So I let Yeonhee run the dungeon with her colleagues. I wish I could practice somewhere else.’
In terms of efficiency, it’s the best, but leaving Yeonhee in this unstable world where you don’t know what will happen has always been a burden.
‘Help Yeonhee quickly complete the hidden quest assigned to her… And if someone stronger than Geomryong appears in the summons she receives as a reward. At that time, you can look for growth in other ways.’
Of course, there was no proper way to find it, but if you can’t figure it out, you can just practice in a dark space.
Looking at Yeonhee’s condition today, it seemed difficult to wake up again and do anything else, so I activated [Mimicking] To see if there were any bad guys within the range of my senses.
– Guide Yoon Han-gyeol [Mimicking]······
‘Hmm… First of all, the closest thing on the minimap is 30km away.’
Since the travel speed has become very fast recently, 30 minutes will be enough if you want to go there.
But I don’t think I can do that today.
‘Is it the same as the woman who spied on us with her shadow ability last time…’
This is because a bug was attached to the villa right next to us and was watching us.
A mysterious hunter believed to be a shadow organization of the Ilseom Guild.
‘There’s a big difference in class from that woman last time. Would it be at the top of C level? Now, we’re going to be monitoring with that level of manpower… Really. It’s absurd.’
I wonder if there is anything to be gained from spying on us, but you never know. They may be preparing something that will cause great damage to us.
The first thing that came to mind was how to subdue that woman and force her to swear.
Due to the nature of such information-gathering hunters, it will not be difficult to suppress them if they attack first.
‘Still, it’s a bit burdensome to cut right away… An organization of that size would be prepared for the pledge.’
Even if you make a pledge, there is a risk that you will be investigated for your pledge if you are sent back alive. Someday we’ll find out that we noticed.
In many ways, being tired has stuck with me.
‘We’re really tired today… It would have been nice if we could just skip today. I can’t get through the day quietly. Ha…’
Ppa-gak- Ppa-gak-
I continued my thoughts while playing with two sharpened daggers, moving them between my fingers.
‘Meeting a great monster and seeing something so clumsy… It’s so light. The weight of the title is extremely light.’
Since my situation wasn’t leisurely enough to pay attention to such trivial things, I was a little annoyed.
Now that the world is falling apart, why are you doing such a useless thing?
‘Since I’m connected to Joong-gil… There’s no need to be too cautious.’
I changed my hesitating mind and ate it.
In the first place, no hunter would stay still in a situation where someone is watching them.
Slurp-
With stealth activated, I ran outside.
In the shadow of the building next door, I could clearly sense the shape of a woman watching us, lying flat like a frog.
I can feel her eyes closing.
Even though I changed my appearance to a humanoid, there was no particular reaction.
I don’t think I have the ability to look inside the house.
‘As expected, it’s clumsy. If the training wasn’t done properly, it would be easy to proceed with the work.’
I flew at the fastest speed I could and approached the mysterious woman.
– All abilities except senses have decreased by 40.
Thanks to Yeonhee, the ability value decreased when [Mimicking] Is activated has been reduced from 50 to 40.
Still, it wasn’t a very good feeling to have all my abilities decreased by 40.
‘My abilities have dropped, so I go with all my might.’
A light flashed on the body of the woman under surveillance, indicating that something was approaching her, but my fist was already pushing up into the woman’s abdomen.
“Wow!”
The woman who fell down holding her stomach tried to use some ability, but she was in a state of abnormal condition due to [Stagnant Snaky Drain] And was unable to use the skill properly.
Moreover, the woman was bound tightly with [Chains of flame] And was even paralyzed.
He vomited out a handful of blood in terrible pain and looked at me with shocked eyes as he appeared at the same time as the blow.
“What are you looking at?”
“Uuuuu…?!”
When the woman saw my humanoid face, her eyes shook greatly.
What on earth is this guy? Didn’t Lee Yeon-hee live alone?
It was an expression of that thought.
For a person who lived in this world, his expression was very colorful.
‘He’s not the right person for this job. Isn’t a poker face basic?’
Puk puk puk puk puk!
After using [Depression] And [Paralysis] A few more times to make the woman unconscious, I put my arms around her shoulders as she fell on the floor and moved to the church.
The inside of a ruined church that still gives off an old-fashioned atmosphere.
Not long ago, when Yeonhee was combining the Lizard unit here, the footprints of Lizard No. 1 were clearly visible on the floor.
The [Flame Chain] Was released the moment they headed to the church, but they still grabbed the woman’s hair as she was struggling with the pain her body was burning.
“Ugh!”
“There is only one way for you to live. Make a pledge…”
“… Do you think I would do something like that!”
“Then I have to die.”
“Ugh…”
Contrary to her cheerful words her her her, the woman’s heart was racing fiercely.
Her skin her her her was white and her physique her she was so small that at first glance, you could think she was an elementary school student.
But I am a vicious skeleton, so I do not hesitate to use violence even if it is a delicate woman.
Puk puk!
“Cough-cough!”
After beating the woman for a while, he asked again.
“I don’t just kill people. I cut their flesh little by little and treat them… I can make them suffer for years.”
“…Ugh…”
“Or…”
I roughly tore off her tight top
“aah!”
The woman revealed quite large breasts compared to her body type, and quickly curled her lips to cover up the exposed inner skin of her.
My lips are trembling, and if I hit them one more time, I will definitely burst into tears.
“Hmph, that’s quite a reaction. You know that causing you pain… Isn’t limited to the methods I mentioned earlier, right?”
I was spitting out words to scare the woman, but then I realized that I was speaking fluently.
‘Oh… Somehow, I feel like I’ve grown.’
It was such a joy to be able to speak fluently.
I stopped scaring the woman for a moment and enjoyed the joy.
However, the sight of me shaking and shaking seemed to have stimulated the woman’s fear, and she sobbed as if she would burst into tears at any moment.
“Hmm…”
I grabbed the woman’s hair again and looked her straight in the eye.
“···.”
“···.”
When she saw my emotionless eyes, she must have truly felt that I was someone who would do something bad, and her underwear started to get soaked with urine.
I thought the woman’s reaction was more than I expected and was a little embarrassed.
‘…Why is it really like this?’
It was clearly felt that the crew was rushed in because there was no suitable manpower.
I don’t know if it’s Hyun Joong-gil’s younger brother who’s doing this, or someone else.
I felt like I knew how loosely they were looking at us.
“You probably have a family or someone precious to you. If you don’t make a vow… You will never see them again. No, they will see you broken beyond repair.”
“Huh…”
“You just have to make a pledge. And you just have to respond with your eyes to a few things I say.”
“…”
She chewed her lip and pondered, then nodded her head slightly.
I took out the oath from subspace, wrote down a few things, and handed it over.
Reporting information about us should not go beyond routine.
The woman quickly signed a pledge containing a few things, including not to tell anyone any information about me.
It looks like he wants to get out of this scary situation quickly.
‘This is a real young chick, isn’t it?’
I barely suppressed my laughter, and she asked her a few questions.
“If my question is correct, all you have to do is blink your eyes.”
“Yes…”
A woman who is very discouraged.
Although a lot of blood poured out of her mouth her her her, I didn’t hit her her face her her her, so I didn’t feel guilty at all.
“You are a subordinate organization hidden by Hyun Joong-seop. Is that right?”
Shocking-!
The woman opened her eyes wide, unable to blink.
A situation where oaths and pledges conflict.
‘Of course you will. They must have sworn not to talk about the organization.’
Although the God of Oaths had tremendous power, he was still not omnipotent.
The blink of an eye that I set a condition on.
The current pledge was only focused on that, and could not completely restrict her heart or body movements.
If you don’t know any information, you won’t have much to gain by interrogating, but I’m different.
Based on her reaction, I could tell that it was related to Hyun Joong-seop.
“Did Hyun Joong-seop give instructions directly?”
“…”
“No. Then who could it be? Hmm… I’ve heard rumors that the instructors at that guild are crazy. Could it be them?”
“…”
“Ho-oh, not those guys either?”
Then the only ones I can think about are the second generation of the Hyeon family.
Why are they?
“Hyeon Il-hwan, Hyeon I-hwan.”
“…”
“No, then Hyun Tae-seok, Hyun Jeong-seok, Hyun Woo-seok?”
Flinch-
“… Oh my… Surely, it’s not Hyeon Woo-seok?”
Rattle-
“Huh? Really? Hyun Woo-seok? Why?”
I was so embarrassed that my tone went up a notch.
Speaking of Hyun Woo-seok, he was a prosecutor with talent comparable to Hyun Il-hwan, Hyun Joong-gil’s best output
Among the sons of Hyeon Jung-seop, Hyeon Jung-gil’s younger brother, I still remember him as having a good temperament. Why?
“Hmm…”
I tried my head.
When I think about it again, the only thing we did that made us look down on Ilseom Guild was the Heo Min-sol incident.
“Heo Min-sol… It’s Heo Min-sol…”
“…”
“Couldn’t Hyun Woo-seok be in a relationship with Heo Min-sol?”
Then the woman avoided my eyes and just stared at the floor.
“Hehe, this is ridiculous… What was it that Hyeon Woo-seok regretted that made him meet a woman like Heo Min-sol? His appearance is a bit mediocre, but he could have chosen a better woman to date.”
As someone who had heard many stories from Baek A-rin about Heo Min-sol’s evil deeds, I did not understand.
“Anyway, thanks to you, the mystery has been resolved. It was a boring story about Heo Min-sol having his arms and legs cut off and being sent to prison with malice.”
“Well, that’s…!”
“Isn’t that right? Hmm… That’s probably true. But looking at the surveillance like this… It seems like the exact target hasn’t been decided yet, right?”
“…”
The woman looked horrified as she watched me quickly put together the puzzle in a short amount of time.
The game must have been decided from the moment we first asked about the existence of Hyun Joong-seop’s shadow organization.
