Chapter 185 Spider ManThe tracking skill was surprisingly inflexible.
‘Did Huxley’s group do the same when they pursued him?’
Well, we didn’t track him down, we tracked down where he caused the incident.
In other words, it was not tracking the subject, but tracing the memory, or trace, of the space left by the subject. I thought the tracking skill was all-round, but it seems that’s not the case at all.
‘Actually… Automation is bound to be inflexible.’
If you understand the structure of the runes yourself and deal with the flow of magic, it might be possible.
Taehyuk Lee is a skill user. He has to rely only on the automation system of the skill the dungeon has created.
Lee Min-joon secretly sighed. He found several nests of Inmyeon Landlord, and it was very difficult to read the memories there.
Kang Hyeong-man was driving, and Lee Tae-hyuk sat in the passenger seat and guided the road. It moves while recognizing the mark using the tracking skill.
Behind them were Yoon Tae-sung and Lee Min-jun.
“That’s too bad. I should have grabbed the face post when I first found it.”
Lee Min-joon was very sad about that. He wouldn’t have had to suffer from this if he had straightened out the In-myeon holding.
The car was traveling to a high-end residential complex in the suburbs of Seoul. This is the very place where you attacked a level 5 dungeon a while ago.
So far, I’ve found five more nests of him, most of them on subway tracks.
But this time… a residential area?
‘If you use the tracking skill by reading the memory of space, it recognizes the most recent place first.’
The first place I found was the most recent one. There were traces of him running away, and there were some who didn’t die.
After that, it’s a recent place before that. So go back in time and go back in time.
‘I moved from this residential area by subway.’
In the nest on the subway, some guy fed humans. Therefore, we are investigating the comparison between the list of the dead and the missing.
But if it’s a residential area… of course, isn’t it a place the police investigated for the Inmyeon holding case?
‘In chronological order, the most recent event occurred before the apartment.’
“Has there ever been an incident with a holding company here?”
Yoon Tae-seong had no memory of seeing such an article, so he asked Detective Kang Hyung-man.
“No.”
“okay? That’s a little bit strange.”
“Maybe… after escaping from the subway, the incident started again here?”
Lee Min-jun said.
It may have been unknown as an incident that occurred after tracking. If the entire family has died, the case will be known through work or school.
They approached one of the residential areas. It was a large detached house built of concrete. Even in this residential area, which was built with luxury villas and houses, it was also where the upper class lived.
After parking in front of the house, the four got off.
“Here…are you sure?”
Detective Kang Hyung-man asked, and Lee Tae-hyuk said he was certain. So far, there has been no case where the tracking skill has failed.
“Haha… How come you’re only chasing after that guy’s tail.”
It’s not like I’m chasing him, it’s like chasing only the shit he’s cheap.
This must also be a murder scene.
Only the corpse he dug up would remain, so just thinking about it made Kang Hyungman shiver.
Still, I have to work.
I rang the doorbell.
Also, there was no pretending to be popular.
-Yes, who are you?
Of course, I didn’t think there was anyone inside, but I thought it was the scene of an incident where he killed and ate people.
When he heard a human voice on the intercom, Hyungman Kang was rather embarrassed.
“Wow! hello? I came from the Special Investigation Unit of the Awakened Person of the Seoul National Police Agency.”
– The Police Department? Can you verify your identity?
Kang Hyung-man showed the police ID to the camera on the intercom.
“Hong-man Kang is a detective. You can contact the Special Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.”
-Oh yeah? Please wait. We will contact you again after verifying your identity.
The four of us had to wait a long time in front.
“He is a very strict person.”
Taehyuk groaned.
“Because everyone has different personalities. If the police suddenly come to you, you might think that you are impersonating yourself.”
Of course, Kang Hyung-man had never seen a person so strict. Usually you just check your ID and you’re done.
Ji-ing- Cheok-gong!
Suddenly the iron door opened. After that, a good-looking man in his 40s appeared from within.
“What’s going on with the police?”
Hyung-man Kang tried to tell the truth that an investigation was necessary, but Tae-sung Yoon spoke first, blocking his way.
“I’ve been looking around for a while. A level 5 dungeon appeared in this residential park a while ago. Have you ever experienced something unusual?”
“I do not know? There was nothing like that.”
“Is that so? Then, if you find any abnormalities, please contact the Special Investigation Unit of the National Police Agency or the Dungeon Management Bureau.”
Kim Deok-soo replied coldly and expressionlessly that he would know, then went back inside.
Tension?
He didn’t have those feelings.
Hyungman Kang asked Taesung Yoon.
“Let’s go back first.”
The reason Yoon Tae-seong suddenly intervened is that the situation is a bit strange, and the moment he saw the man, he felt a peculiar aura.
Until now, if you use the curse directly, your own magical power remains. So I could easily recognize the other person.
Using Abracus through a medium is a little different. His magical power disappears, leaving only the resulting curse.
However, the man in his 40s was an awakened, and he felt the curse someone used.
Of course, he didn’t seem to know that at all.
Is there an Awakener who is cursed at the place where you tracked down the face holder? Of course, isn’t it causally too exquisite? It is unreasonable to dismiss this as a coincidence.
“her? Then we need to investigate and arrest him right now!”
Lee Tae-hyuk exclaimed.
“It’s not… it’s not easy. It’s not something the police can just investigate. Investigations require a warrant, but it seems difficult to obtain a warrant.”
As Kang Hyungman spoke, he fell into thought.
The in-myeon holding case was still an issue, and a warrant could be obtained using that as an excuse.
But what if nothing or no evidence can be found? On the contrary, it will receive even greater criticism.
“First, let’s find out who lives there. You can do a background check, right?”
As he said, it wasn’t difficult to find out the person’s identity based on their address.
As soon as Kang Hyung-man made a phone call, information came in.
“Kim Deok-soo. He is 43 years old and his parents went missing a few years ago. That house must have belonged to my parents. He majored in entomology and is currently an associate professor at the university. It’s an elite family in the upper class. And I am currently registered as an Awoken, and I have not received a license from the Association.”
Not everyone who is an Awakener makes dungeon raiding their business. A person with a good job, such as a doctor or a prosecutor, doesn’t need to turn into a dangerous job.
So, it seems that he only registered as an awakened person and did not receive a license.
“First of all, we need to investigate that road so that we can keep track of the landowner, so let’s start with that person. Detective Kang, please apply for a warrant, and I will conduct a separate investigation.”
I wasn’t 100% sure, but almost 99% Yoon Tae-seong thought that the man Kim Deok-soo was the one feeding the people to the In-myeon landowner a while ago.
There’s no hard evidence, but that’s the case.
The ‘Awakened Crime Special Investigation Unit’ was a division within the National Police Agency that specifically investigates crimes caused by awakened people.
I don’t know much about the other two people who were with Detective Kang Hyeong-man, but Yoon Tae-sung knew Kim Deok-su. Because he had seen the photo several times in the article.
‘Didn’t you say that you dived into a level 5 dungeon in this park? Did you really come here because of that?’
Or is there something wrong with it?
No matter how much I thought about it, nothing happened. When he kidnapped, she was thoroughly hidden, and she was never caught. Most of the people he kidnapped were simply treated as missing.
Are there any traces of the body?
There was no reason for the police to find him. If that’s the case, consider other possibilities.
‘Isn’t it impossible to think that he and I are related? Did you really come here because of a level 5 dungeon?’
Still, it would be nice to tidy things up a bit. It would be very difficult if the police came and searched the basement.
Block the entrance to the basement from being detected.
It doesn’t matter if you raise spiders, but it’s better to dispose of all traces of the corpse.
“Haha… I’m tired these days, but my head hurts. Do the Awakened get sick too?”
He thought that sooner or later he would have to undergo a general examination at the hospital. It was the first time my body was this tired, so I felt like I had some kind of disease.
My shoulders are heavy as if it were attached to a ghost.
Because ghosts are usually mounted on the shoulder.
‘Well, it’s enough to burn the leftovers.’
Originally, the basement was a place his father built while making pottery as a hobby. A kiln was installed on one wall, and in summer, the heat of the kiln heated the house, and there was a jjimjilbang in the house right above it.
Kim Deok-su also occasionally uses a kiln.
Of course, my hobby is not pottery crafts, so I rarely bake pottery.
He went outside for a while.
Right next to the front door is an entrance that leads down to the basement.
He flashed the deck of the pergola installed in the yard. It was quite heavy as an object made from an axillary coffin, but he was still an Awoken.
I installed it next to the front door entrance.
Connected to the living room window, it looks like a terrace. So I was able to cover the entrance to the basement without any awkwardness.
‘It’s inconvenient, but it would be nice to live like this for a while.’
Every time I went down to see those cute guys, I had no choice but to put the pergola aside.
It seemed like it would be good to stay like this for a while until we could find out exactly why Detective Kang Hyung-man came to visit.
Put the pergola aside for a moment.
Although it was summer, it seemed that there was no choice but to heat the jjimjilbang by burning the kiln.
He opened the door to the warehouse and gave orders to the spiders.
“Get out for a while.”
The spiders went outside as if they understood him. After that, they scattered all over the yard of the house.
Something quietly jumped over the wall of the house on the large lot. But in reality, there was no sound or appearance, just a flow of wind-like air.
Yoon Tae-sung wore barge to hide his identity, and even hid his appearance with Invisible.
The guy was the one who gave humans as prey to the landowner. I was in this house with a face holder, and there was an incident that was strong enough for my tracking skills to work.
Hopefully that never happened at home.
large yard.
Just by looking at this, I could fully understand what the life of a golden spoon is like.
‘Didn’t your parents say you went missing years ago?’
However, the incident was before the appearance of the dungeon, and the police investigated the disappearance, but found no clues.
Stones were laid in the yard from the front door to the front door, and pebbles were laid around it. Trees were planted along the wall, and the bushes were thick.
It was a little different from the usual landscaping by planting flowers.
Next to the entrance there was a large window leading to the living room, and a pergola was installed in front of it to use as a terrace.
‘Isn’t there anything special about it?’
It was just a house with a little bit of land, living in the suburbs.
What did the landowner do in a place like this?
If Kim Deok-soo was the unidentified man, there was nothing to worry about. He knew what he was doing.
Maybe at home?
‘Doesn’t these guys usually have their own hideout? There’s no way you can make a hideout in the house to do that kind of thing.’
So, he must have chosen a place like a machine room on a subway railroad track.
If so, what the hell did the landowner do in this house?
It was impossible to enter the entrance because it was a digital door lock, and I tried to enter the house through the large window in the living room.
The moment he climbed up to the deck of the pergola… Tae-seong Yoon realized that a certain space on the floor was empty.
