353 – [6] Gate Runaway
#353
It may sound groundless, but it had its own basis.
Why is there a saying that rice cakes that look good are also good to eat?
These were all maxims derived from our ancestors’ deep historical learning.
Given that our ancestors left these words and have survived to this day, their reliability must be incredibly high.
It was safe to say it was a type of science.
So, I decided that if the exterior was like that, the interior wouldn’t be bad either.
“This hurts a bit.”
This was also the case for Cheonmali.
They didn’t seem to deny that their company was a livestock training center.
“Our headquarters looks a bit like an industrial complex. “It feels like some sort of military base or research institute.”
“Are you planning on building a new headquarters?”
“Not for the next 100 years. “I will do this only after we have completely entered space.”
If we interpret this differently, it means that it is honestly uncertain even after 100 years.
Probably, it will only be built anew after it goes completely into space and settles somewhere else.
“It would cost too much money to come and build something new now. To be honest, there are more employees than when the current headquarters was built.”
“It’s a shame.”
Anyway, I thought I knew why that strange guy was acting out in the first semester.
My parents are the owners of a place like that, so I feel proud and women are attracted to me.
“Why? I envy you? “If I’m so envious, will I somehow be able to take that building over as soon as possible?”
And such pride was not very helpful in life.
A thousand birds gave me the same look as a hyena that has found its prey.
“…… Take it away? “Are we going to rob the building, even if it means physically destroying it?”
“No, that’s illegal. “Because I am just, I will use a much more legal method.”
It’s legal.
That was a word that did not fit Cheonmaly.
“You who like illegal things are legal?”
“Uh huh. You say I like illegal things? “I swear to heaven, I have never done anything illegal in my life.”
“?”
I was surprised by the sudden nonsense.
I shook my head and said, “I ate it.”
“Have you ever seen such a benevolent and honest entrepreneur in your life? Honestly, wouldn’t this be enough to be called a Heavenly Demon Saint?”
I opened up the fan I had purchased earlier and shook it gently.
It was a fan with an amulet to prevent betrayal, but seeing things like that over and over again, what elf in the world wouldn’t betray?
“Yes…… “I see.”
“What, why are you looking like that?”
“Just. “Because it’s always the same.”
“Hmm? You can’t believe I kidnapped that guild’s owner and his family. Deep underground, filled with murder devices straight out of gore movies. “Did you think I was plotting to scare you by feeding you seolleongtang through your nose and telling you that if you don’t give up your guild right away, you will turn all your children into bitches?”
“Hey, is there something a bit detailed?”
“I’m not that evil of an elf! Moreover, I have decided not to do such a thing in this life!”
You said you did it before.
I felt strangely pitiful for the guy who was bent over and his family.
Even if you kill a thousand horses three times, such torture is…….
I think so…… Hmmmm… ….
“A thousand horses, you. “When exactly do you plan to deal with the Cancon Guild?”
“I don’t want to get shot while attending the academy, so I’m thinking about it after I graduate. “Why is that?”
“I asked you to make sure you weren’t really evil.”
She is said to be a benevolent saint, but she is a Heavenly Demon who has already made all her plans.
In the meantime, in response to my questions, he said countless times about why he was a good person.
I half-closed my ears and ignored whatever she said or said.
Certainly, it was safe to say that there was no elf in the world who could follow the shamelessness of a thousand horses.
This is why men don’t get caught.
It is unclear whether it is true or not, but she is a complete spinster and a regressor.
“Sociopath. This is why, even in my past life, I had few people around me, and the people I did have betrayed me.”
“What, what? Betrayal?”
The good news was that he came to his senses after hearing about betrayal.
In the past, the only way to bring people to their senses was through violence, but it could truly be said to be a huge improvement.
Eventually, as if she was belatedly making up for it, she made up her excuses.
I teased Cheonma-ri by calling her ‘a human butcher, not a woman.’
“Hey, that’s still true. “Isn’t it too harsh to say that she isn’t even a woman?”
“Yes, a human butcher, not a woman.”
For your information, this wasn’t a joke, it was serious.
By my standards, Cheonma-ri was not a woman no matter how I looked at it.
No more, it feels like seeing a crazy relative.
It was exactly like that.
Have you noticed these gazes?
With a thousand puffing out her cheeks, she started to chase after him, fuming.
The chase has begun.
The process of circling the streets and avoiding attacks continued endlessly.
“I got you!”
“Gyaak! “A childhood friend kills an elf!”
She was caught like that and ran away again, hitting her on the butt to make her run away, and then running away again.
But at some point, she began to realize that her surroundings were strange.
The noisy streets became quiet.
Not even a bird flying towards the sky was seen.
“…… ?”
“Is something happening?”
Boom!
It was just that moment.
A sudden explosion occurred somewhere.
The ground shook, and then another explosion occurred.
With two tremors, the street turned pale.
“What is it?”
“Fuck? Did an underground gas pipe burst?!”
I was embarrassed and quickly looked around.
Just like us, there were only people looking around, wondering what was going on.
Beep!!!
A buzzer rang on my cell phone.
Some people even heard the buzzer ring on Hunter Watch.
– A large-scale gate flooding situation occurred in the Hunter District of Los Angeles.
– Evacuate to urban areas, suburban areas, or nearby shelters 10 miles beyond the incident site.
Yes?
What?
Gate crashing on a large scale?
There was a story about monsters going around earlier, but this went viral?
“Marie, this… ….”
“What? “The Los Angeles Gate rampage never happened in your past life?”
It seemed like he didn’t even know.
But is this even possible?
“Wait a minute, there wasn’t one? “Was the location or level of the gate different in each life?”
“There are things like that. There are some things that aren’t…… But something like this has never happened in Los Angeles…….”
“Then what? “Is this an extremely rare occurrence caused by the butterfly effect?”
“Maybe so?”
First, I had to find Su-ah.
I had to either find my sister and get out of the city or go back to the hotel.
At least there are a lot of bodyguards and hunters in the hotel.
Moreover, since it is an expensive hotel, it is unlikely that there will be no means of defense.
“Over there! There’s a monster from over there! Everyone run away!”
“It’s Hunter! Everyone get out of the way!”
But I didn’t think it was necessary.
Now that I think about it, this is the area where Hunter headquarters is concentrated.
It was as if a crime had occurred in front of the police station.
And that too in front of a police station staffed by extremely powerful homicide detectives.
As expected, not only the hunters on the street but also the hunters inside the skyscraper headed somewhere.
Because that number was not just one or two, a sigh of relief naturally came out.
“I don’t think there’s any need to run to the hotel.”
“Still, shouldn’t I run away just in case? “Let’s find Su-ah first.”
* * *
Luckily the phone didn’t go dead.
Thanks to that, it didn’t take too long to find Su-ah.
“Oh, guys! “Here!”
Beyond the alley.
One of the many skyscrapers.
Soo-ah ran out of that place.
Judging by the expression on his face, it seemed like the matter had been resolved well.
“What kind of fuss is this? No, out of nowhere, a siren sounds and a message comes…….”
“They said monsters poured out of the gate. “For now, let’s get out of the way while the Los Angeles Hunters figure it out.”
“First of all, it doesn’t seem like there are any taxis available right now? “I can’t walk, so I’ll call my attendants at the hotel.”
“Don’t call me this way. I’m going to a place a little further away. Tell them to come there. And when you come, ask my secretary to come too.”
“I understand.”
The distance from the hotel is quite long, so it would be right to shorten the distance as much as possible.
Cheonma-ri called the bodyguards and other attendants, and we quickly moved to where they would come.
“Jang Si, I am asking where exactly we are going. What should we do?”
“Tell them to come to Mills Memorial Park in Carson. “It’s close to here.”
Of course, due to height issues, it would be impossible to land right on top of the park.
But even if we couldn’t land, it was clear that it was an easy place for navigation.
We ran tirelessly toward the shopping center to head there.
Then I heard a loud crash coming from beyond the east.
“What kind of situation is this?” … “You all know how to jump properly, right?”
“Huh? “Why is that?”
“Not very high. Is it possible to go up to the house somehow? But why is that?”
“I think we should see what happens. First, please follow me up to the house over there.”
A street full of confused people.
It jumped towards the roof of one of the houses.
Because it was only a few meters high, I was able to jump and climb up by grabbing the edge of the roof.
Soo-a and Cheonma-ri also came up in the same way.
And we were able to witness a not very good sight there.
“Kkueeeeek!!!”
Boom! Bang! Bang!
“What is it, Orc?”
“I don’t think it’s an orc, but a very large ogre.”
A giant auger carrying wood.
It was so big that you could see it attacking the ground mercilessly from a few blocks away.

“Because those guys are inside the gate, we can’t deal with them in time and this is what’s going on…….”
“Marie! There! “Look over there!”
“Wow, Mchang, what is that again?”
The ogres are yelling at one side.
On the other side, goblins were wandering around in all directions.
“Can you handle all of that? No, have you given up on conquering dungeons to the point where there are so many of them?”
A situation that cannot be understood.
But even if I didn’t understand it, it wasn’t to the point where it made no sense.
“It seems like the monsters flowed back in succession because the government officials didn’t properly manage the gate.”
“Oh, definitely…… “It seems so.”
Anyway, with things like this, there was no reason to stay here anymore.
It came right down to the roof of the house.
I passed the family home and reached the shopping center I toured earlier.
We stopped there once more.
“Hey! Shake it off quickly!”
“If I sell this as stolen goods, how much will it cost?”
“Wow! “New equipment!”
“The potion store over there looks pretty good, doesn’t it?”
“Everyone, please keep order and shake it off!”
Large-scale looting.
A hot new sport born in 21st century America.
Thanks to this, even though his life was at stake, the streets were overflowing with thieves.
No, it was more than just boiling over, they were calmly brushing it off regardless of the type of shopping mall.
“What? Hunters are also robbing, right?”
And among the thieves, there were active hunters wearing hunter watches.
It was an unbelievable sight to say that it was a peaceful and vibrant area a long time ago.
It was not a very great America.
“What the hell is this?”
“Wow…… I’ve only seen it on the news, but this is my first time seeing it for real. Everyone is acting hot. “It would be quite fun.”
“Hey, don’t think about robbing me, think about running away!”
After slapping Cheonmae on the back of his head, he pointed to the park a few blocks away, telling us to go on our way.
It was a moment when I was trying to rush out of the chaotic street.
Tuk!
Two people passed by Sister Su-a and Cheonma-ri.
The sound was so loud that I immediately turned to the side.
Both of them clearly looked like hunters based on their clothing and the equipment they were wearing.
However, very ominously, there were cat ears on top of its head.
“…… “Kick.”
“…… ?”
The three of us and the two cat beasts looked at each other.
It was just a shoulder strap, but the more I looked, the more I felt something strange.
“Uh, huh?! What? “My shopping bag?!”
“What?! “My friendship souvenir and anti-betrayal talisman!”
Shopping bags that Su-a and Cheonma-ri were carrying.
I don’t know how they did it, but the cat beastmen were holding it.
“Stealing is bad, guys!”
“You crazy bastards!!! “Why don’t you serve it right now before it turns into butterfly soup?!!”
“Thank you~ You little ears~ Meow~!”
“Nyaooong~”
The cat beasts held shopping bags in their mouths and ran away on all fours.
We were embarrassed by the unimaginable theft and quickly chased after them.
