Chapter 31 GhoulCIA safe house.
Tae-Sung Yoon also read news and media articles.
“Crazy. Arrest and kill.”
Park Hae-jun laughed as he read an article about the prosecution’s announcement of the case.
There is also an article about Yoon Tae-seong.
It is an announcement that the prosecution will re-investigate.
“Hmmmm… Actually, the military has no authority to arrest you. So the fact that you escaped is gone.”
The military could arrest and judge no one except the military.
Yoon Tae-sung is not a soldier.
Therefore, the case of jailbreak itself did not take place.
“The Dungeon Management Department will probably be promoted to an independent organization.”
“That’s a good thing. But are there any articles about boss monsters?”
“A boss monster?”
“There are a lot of articles about killing ghouls, sandmen, and goblins, but there are no articles about killing boss monsters. Even if the dungeon explodes, wouldn’t there be a boss monster of course?”
I was skeptical, but it’s true. There’s no way the boss monster suddenly disappears, right?
The altar is gone, but the magic stone must also be possessed by the boss monster.
You won’t be able to get skill books or items instead of dungeons, but magic crystals are more important than that.
“You know that better than me.”
‘If I had a magic stone, I would make another monster. Seeing that they are quiet, they have some intelligence.’
“Are you going to go to the CIA or will you stay in Korea?”
Park Hae-Jin asked.
It was originally inclined to go to the United States through the CIA, but the situation was reversed with the intervention of the prosecution.
Nevertheless, Yoon Tae-sung’s situation was not good.
A military trial or a court trial… Anyway, both are a problem.
However, from this point of view, Lee Hwang-jo also killed one person. Not even a dungeon in Korea.
Of course, they were soldiers with guns, so it was a special situation.
“If you go to the US, it will be difficult to escape the influence of the CIA, right?”
“I think it would be….”
I suffered this much in Korea, but in the US again?
Korea has now reached a turning point, but the United States is just the beginning. Perhaps the Pentagon and the CIA using Hunter will fight fiercely.
I had no intention of getting involved in such a political conflict.
“Then I will stay in Korea first.”
“I think that would be good too.”
Although Park Hae-jun didn’t push the decision, he thought it would be better.
Yoon Tae-sung appeared at the prosecutor’s office.
Deputy Prosecutor Park In-seok was contacted in advance, but he did not know that Yoon Tae-sung would really appear as a prosecutor.
‘Shut up! It’s a big incident… it can’t be helped.’
The Attorney General had a meeting with the President. After that, the direction of the investigation was determined.
Soon, the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff of the Army will be summoned to investigate, but there will be no major damage to them.
Currently, the main issues are that the dungeon management department plotted to arrest and kill the hunter, and the Ministry of National Defense arrested a civilian named Tae-seong Yoon and put it in a military court to disrupt the judicial system.
The former was the prosecution’s job because he was a murder teacher, but the latter was actually a bit vague.
So, the Prosecutor General made an agreement with the President to end this case under Colonel Lee Jong-ik.
Because of Tae-seong Yoon’s case, the Dungeon Management Act probably contains a lot of information about the hunter.
“Well, there is also the content of the video, so there is nothing to investigate, and you will probably be given a non-indictment with a deferred prosecution.”
So easy?
“This event will change the world a lot. The Hunter’s administrative and judicial powers will probably be taken from a place called the Dungeon Management Bureau.”
Actually, it goes in this direction.
It is not common for the police or prosecutors to take charge of hunters who cause incidents or crimes within the dungeon.
Just as military police and military courts deal with matters in the military, dungeons and hunters are in charge of the Dungeon Management Bureau.
However, this was a decision made long after many incidents occurred.
“Does it seem like something has been agreed upon?”
“Well… that’s right. I made that decision above, so it’s up to me to deal with the case I’m in charge of. In fact, the case of the dungeon or the hunter hurts our prosecutors as well.”
‘There is no need to talk about the involvement of the NIS.’
We’ll agree anyway, and we’ll deal with it to some extent. Perhaps Colonel Jong-ik Lee of the Dungeon Management Department will take all responsibility and step down.
Shortly thereafter, the Minister of National Defense and the Chief of Staff of the Army responded to the prosecution’s summons and investigation, and the prosecution closed the investigation and announced the details.
[Colonel Jong-ik Lee disciplinary action! How about the dungeon management department?]
[Minister of Defense, Army Chief of Staff not charged]
[Tae-Sung Yoon, disposition of non-indictment with deferred prosecution in consideration of the specificity of the case!]
There was no mention of Captain Kim Moo-seong.
The reason the prosecution moved so quickly in this case was because of Captain Kim Moo-seong.
He testified to the orders given by Colonel Jong-ik Lee.
A few days later, the government announced a policy regarding the dungeon management department in response to this situation.
“The government will promote the Dungeon Management Department to an independent agency and reorganize it as the Dungeon Management Bureau in order to prevent the Ministry of National Defense’s abuse of power.”
“In dungeon-related affairs, the Dungeon Management Bureau has the highest commanding authority, and the Ministry of National Defense and the Republic of Korea military must carry out the request of the Dungeon Management Bureau for the safety of the people.”
“Registered hunters are managed by the Dungeon Management Bureau. We grant judicial powers taking into account the specifics of the case.”
There were many other things, but the three most important were the above.
Perhaps based on this, the National Assembly will propose and discuss the amendment to the Dungeon Management Act, and there will be few lawmakers who oppose it.
People are watching with great interest.
‘There is also content about private military enterprises and possession of firearms. Who made the policy?’
There were three large cases, but the rest of the details were also very detailed policies.
This is not just coming out of the heads of politicians like the president.
Yoon Tae-sung ended the channel broadcasting the government’s policy announcement.
“what? Are you alive?”
All the team members, including Uina and Kwon Hyuk-soo, welcomed Yoon Tae-seong.
“Is this your brother’s house?”
“Isn’t it cool?”
“A rooftop room? Do I look stupid?”
“The scenery is beautiful. There is a bench, so it is good to eat grilled meat.”
“Congratulations on being on probation. He probably wanted to end it quietly in connection with this case.”
“Right. Perhaps in the future, the Dungeon Management Bureau will take action.”
At the same time, Park Hae-jun also came up to the roof.
“Five?”
Gong Il-woo pretended to know.
“Nice to meet you. This is Park Hae-Joon. Not long ago, I was in the dungeon management department, but now… because I am unemployed.”
“We decided to work together.”
“together?”
As far as Kim Si-hwan knows, they are just ordinary people, do you work together?
“As a person who has served as the deputy director of the National Intelligence Service, it will be of great help.”
“Not really.”
Seven people started a pork belly party on the roof.
In the midst of various conversations, Yoon Tae-sung spoke about this incident.
“Maybe there are boss monsters left. We go hunting him tomorrow.”
“boss?”
“Ah… well, it seemed that something was missing. But why didn’t the boss monster appear?”
“He must have some intelligence.”
“How can I find such a guy?”
“You have to find it with your search skills. Or… with a portable mana scanner.”
“A mana scanner?”
“A machine that scans when registering as a hunter. You were also measuring energy waves when managing the dungeon.”
“You mean making that big machine portable?”
It was a big machine like a CT.
The machine in front of the dungeon was not a small machine at all, as it was taken with a car to measure it.
“It was made large for precise measurement, and if you just want to scan mana, it doesn’t matter if you make it portable.”
Modern technology isn’t easy either. Perhaps an intelligent monster can think of modern technology as if it were magic.
However, if you enter a dungeon with a rank of 7 or higher…
‘If I go to the dungeon management office tomorrow, I’ll have to meet with Dr. Choi So-hee and talk.’
Of course, the mana scanner wasn’t perfect.
To measure a dungeon or a hunter, you have to approach it from a certain distance, that is, a distance that can measure the wavelength of mana.
How to measure a boss monster from a distance?
Actually, it’s not a boss monster, it’s a magic crystal. When a boss monster uses a magic crystal, its wavelength affects a certain distance, and it can be measured.
If you’re lucky, you can find it easily, if you’re unlucky, you have to suffer quite a bit.
So, over time, like street lamps, they installed machines that could scan the wavelengths of mana all over the city.
The name was changed to the Dungeon Management Bureau, but the business was the same, and the original building was used as it is.
According to the press announcement, a person named Park Woo-jae was appointed as the director. He is a member of the policy advisory committee, a professor of political science at a university, and a prominent figure in Korea.
The Ministry of National Defense created a problem, and put someone who had absolutely nothing to do with it, who teaches political science but has never done it before.
Captain Kim Moo-seong became the commander of the special task force. In addition, the executive branch to exercise judicial powers was newly established.
Kim Moo-seong was promoted to major.
Park Hae-jun was registered as a mercenary with the Hunter Management Department. He is probably the first non-military mercenary to register.
All the special task force battalions of the Administration Bureau are registered as mercenaries.
It was because there were military status, and there were those who had already been discharged from the Special Forces.
Tae-seong Yoon went to the Central Research Center area and met Dr. Choi So-hee.
“Congratulations. It wouldn’t have been a big deal, but I’ve been freed from annoying problems.”
“thank you. Overall, things are moving pretty quickly.”
“I was also surprised that things suddenly went like this.”
The two have a secret they share with each other. So when we had these conversations, he seemed very friendly.
eyes of jealousy.
“How about studying runes?”
“Starting with chain lightning, it is quite difficult. As the grade goes up, the structure of the rune becomes very complicated, and the structure of the rune is different for each attribute.”
“Oh, I see.”
an unexpected fact.
However, after listening to and understanding her words, I could understand why I couldn’t acquire skills of other attributes.
“Then I should start researching the skillbook with a lower level.”
There was no need to take notes by translating a high-grade skill book.
“It will take time, but if you study step by step, you will see results. We will start developing mana cores soon.”
‘I’m sorry.’
When I understood the structure of the runes, the skill level disappeared. There was no other reason other than this.
‘It must be because I completely understand and use skills.’
So the limit set by the dungeon disappeared.
Of course, in addition to the structure of these runes, there is one thing that Taesung Yoon is clearly superior to other hunters.
The point is that he can clearly grasp the flow of magic.
Other hunters just use it like a skill in the game, so you may actually have a circle of mana in your heart.
When you use a skill, you don’t even know how the magic moves.
However, this flow of magic was too familiar to Yoon Tae-sung.
The method of using magic and martial arts is completely different, but the flow of magic is fully recognized.
‘This should be practiced by the team members.’
It’s really nearly impossible to learn runes. Because they are not geniuses like Choi So-hee.
However, recognizing the flow of magic would be of great help.
I don’t know if that’s really possible.
“This is a note translated from Cure.”
Level 2 Cure Skill.
It seems that the rune analysis has been completed up to Cure.
“Why don’t we start the Bless before the Chain Lightning? Still, I think it would be a little better to study the related properties.”
Of course, that also helps Tae-Sung Yoon. This is because Bless was a skill that Tae-Sung Yoon had learned.
“There are a lot of things I don’t understand if I just look at one, so I’m researching while looking at the intersection.”
“Hmmmm… that’s unavoidable. Could you possibly make a portable mana scanner?”
“It is possible. Korea has developed more artifacts than expected.”
“Then, please contact us immediately after developing a prototype as soon as possible. The boss monster of the dungeon that exploded this time has not been caught yet.”
“It was probably caught in Busan and Incheon. Two magic stones came in. I have never heard of it being caught in Seoul.”
Perhaps the hunters in Busan and Incheon eventually hunted the boss monster.
It’s not a very intelligent monster.
‘Seoul is the biggest problem.’
The warlock who makes the ghouls is the boss monster. Catch it before it spawns a ghoul again, or hides somewhere far away.
