I covered my forehead with my hand.
Ekaterina said finding a professional would solve it.
It is better to search for a direction in that direction rather than blindly looking for Kwak Sa-yeon in the presence of a returnee.
Then it was right to get out of the building.
“It won’t be easy.”
Then Baeksan, who read my thoughts, spoke to me.
He stared at the wall in front of him with wide open eyes.
“That bastard earlier is a returnee from the labyrinth. It’s the designer’s side.”
A labyrinth that is rare, but occasionally exists during dimensional movement.
He said that the labyrinth dimension, called an endless maze and a place where death comes and goes, is a hellish place where once you fall into it, you have to go around it until you find an exit.
As for the designer of such a labyrinth.
“You mean the entire building has become a labyrinth?”
As soon as she heard those words, Ekaterina also frowned and looked around.
She is an acquaintance with Umbrella, so it must be because she knows her abilities well.
“Yeah, that must have been the reason why you didn’t show your body right after you appeared. It’s too late for me to notice He’s pretty strong.”
Is it possible in the meantime?
Also, the returnee was an extraordinary existence.
“But the time to make it was short, so I couldn’t make it complicated. As the labyrinth does not collapse easily when completed, there must be an exit.”
It sounded like an unexpected maze.
Then the answer was simple.
“Let’s go first, Shiho, Seoho, and Ekaterina.”
Start looking for an exit.

The smoke disappears above it.
Umbrella folded her umbrella and looked into the open hole.
Obviously, before attacking them, he had hung a labyrinth all over the building.
As such, the strength of the building had risen thousands of times more than before, and it was clear that it would not be damaged by any attack.
In fact, the other wall did not appear to have collapsed despite the attacks of Ekaterina and Umbrella.
The only thing that fell was the one wall he took out of the labyrinth when he started his first attack.
“But the floor on which my labyrinth hung has collapsed.”
It’s not just one or two floors.
Only the collapsed floor is at least 10 stories high.
If the number of floors had not increased significantly by walking through the labyrinth, the firepower was so absurd that it would have reached the floor of the building right away.
“It’s dangerous.”
It seemed that it would be difficult for him to survive if he hit it directly.
is a variable
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Noticing that an unplanned person had appeared, Umbrella patted her chin.Just as Gi Ra-seong took the existence of Kwak Sa-yeon as a variable.
The Returnees Association also had the variable Kang Ha-chan.
“Uh-huh, Seo-ho, where did we go? give it back Give me back mine!”
At that moment, he saw a woman crawling beside him.
Kwak Sa-yeon, who was half-naked, but turned into dust thanks to being beaten and rolled, was a mess.
She screamed as she looked up at Umbrella, holding on to the hem of her trousers.
“You, you are a giraffe! Bring Seoho right now! I mean, kill those people who stole mine and bring back Seoho!”
“Hmm.”
First, he took off his suit jacket and put it on Kwak Sa-yeon.
“Lady, I’m cold. Let’s put this on and we’ll talk.”
She, who had only suffered from hostility and anger from before, began to shed tears as if she had regained consciousness a little at the sudden kindness.
“Seoho-oh, why are you talking to your sister, hib-nim?”
“My heart hurts a lot because you have been abandoned by the one you love, isn’t it?”
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping her tears away, Umbrella gave a gentlemanly smile.
“Really, really, why don’t you know my heart? Seoho is mine I said that I wanted it.”
“So, Lady, I would like to offer you one thing, but would you mind?”
Seeing Sa-yeon Kwak gibberish with anxiety as if her brain was broken, Umbrella spoke, and her gaze fell on him.
Umbrella magically vanished the handkerchief she was holding, then grabbed a black pill with her index and thumb.
“What is stolen can be found directly. What would you like to do? Do you not want to get it back on your own?”
Sayeon Kwak’s eyes reached the black pill as if possessed.
“… … Can I get it back?”
Facing her like that, Umbrella only had a gentle smile.
Seeing that smile, Sayeon Kwak reached out and took the pill he gave her.
‘In the labyrinth, there must be a monster that guards the labyrinth.’
Without even realizing that his gentle smile spreads into malice.

It has already been about 20 minutes since we set off to escape the labyrinth.
Is it really a labyrinth?
Originally, it was a mess, thanks to the twists and turns of an ordinary hallway.
But there was one thing that Umbrella didn’t expect.
That was Shiho’s existence.
Shiho’s sense of space changed its trajectory even in the maze, and she was able to move forward without any blockages in the labyrinth, as she could know all the coordinates by sense.
To Labyrinth, space-based talents were nothing short of a counter.
“Shiho, how much longer do you think it will take?”
“Ten minutes.”
It takes about 30 minutes even though I know all the directions.
I felt a dizzy feeling how long it would have taken if I had wandered without Shiho.
“sorry. because of me.”
Meanwhile, Seo-ho’s words of apology rang out.
The countenance of Seo-ho, who was silently following us, was very dark.
He seemed to think he had drawn us in.
“Seoho.”
So I called him.
When Seoho, who was bowing his head, raised his gaze, I rather smiled apologetically.
“I was the one who suggested this. It’s a suggestion you made even though it could be dangerous. Rather, I should apologize for not preparing properly.”
“What are you talking about? Hasn’t Hachan hyung moved for us in good faith?”
People naturally tend to avoid responsibility.
Responsibility is always heavy and scary.
However, there were also those who took responsibility for themselves.
Sometimes they are foolish, but most of them are good people.
Seoho was such a person.
He is one year older than me, and he is now twenty-five.
If you’re an adult, you’re an adult, and as a hunter, you’re a decent member of society.
However, from the point of view of society, he and I were just a young age with many lives to live.
Seoho is obviously more mature than his peers.
Guilt of not being able to protect Siho with his mother when he was young and the sense of responsibility that he has to protect Siho now must have been dotted with him.
Two emotions were too strong for the other weaker emotion to penetrate his mind.
“Seoho, the world is not made of only good intentions.”
They want to avoid responsibility and inadvertently resent others.
But Seoho doesn’t.
He’s a strong sense of responsibility.
But if that’s the case, one day I’m going to wear him out a bit.
Emotions are a finite resource.
“I have been studying until now because I want to find my older sister who was a returnee. To that end, I became close with the Returnees Association. Helping you is an extension of earning the trust of the Returnees Association.”
It’s not wrong.
I wanted to find my sister, and the help of the Returnees Association was essential if I were to find her.
It’s just that it was a coincidence that the first relationship with the Returnees Association was established.
“This works for me as well.”
When a good person thinks that he has caused harm to the other person, he continues to care about it.
In particular, I feel even more sorry in front of the vague line that I can see even when I am at a loss because I cannot fully read the person’s mind and thoughts.
Therefore, if you recognize that it is a mutually beneficial relationship, you can also relieve some of that regret.
“Besides, have you seen it before? Kwak Sa-yeon That crazy woman and I have some grudges. This case has a lot of personal feelings in it.”
When I kicked with all my resentment, the thrilling moment was so refreshing that I had never before.
“So don’t worry too much.”
I kept moving my legs, which did not stop during conversation.
Seo-ho, who looked at me like that, bowed his head again and did not apologize any more.
However, Shiho just looked at me with tender eyes for a moment and continued to guide me.
“Two heads, then I’ll have to be betrayed again later.”
Baeksan grumbled next to him, but he seemed to think it was a good thing he didn’t say anything more than that.
He looks like a tsundere guy.
“coming.”
At that moment, Ekaterina, who had been quietly listening to our story, raised her head and spoke.
As the exit got closer, it started moving too.
“Location is.”
When I asked while looking at Catherine as well as Baeksan, their heads turned to the left wall at the same time.
“Avoid everyone!”
Soon, the bright red wall collapsed, and enthusiasm swept over us.
Quang!
The moment we were tossing the floor, we heard the sound of something crashing again one after another.
When I lifted my head, there was a collapsed wall on the other side, and Catherine was nowhere to be seen.
“Ekaterina!”
I called her name, but there was no answer.
Umbrella was seen at first glance through the enthusiasm.
As soon as he attacked Catherine, he broke through that wall and took her away.
Damn, we knew who our greatest strength was.
He was able to handle the walls of the labyrinth freely, so he did not expect that he could come out from anywhere.
“Shiho and Seoho, both are safe!”
“It’s okay!”
As I, holding the kerape, pointed at the wall and shouted, I heard Shiho’s answer.
“Baeksan.”
“wait. If I possess you, your body will surely leave aftereffects this time. Be more careful.”
I nodded in a cold sweat.
The sound of Ekaterina and Umbrella fighting over the wall was gradually getting farther away.
Knock Knock Kung!
But the problem was that other sounds were coming as well.
Something is running straight ahead aiming for this side.
The moment my gaze turned towards it, I witnessed something terrible.
A monster with multiple legs and a body of non-ideal size and body that was larger than that of a spider and crustacean was running, shaking the earth’s axis.
However, it was different from a normal dimensional species.
At the heart of the monster was a woman I knew all too well.
A naked torso half-extended from the monster’s body.
The eyes that had returned, perhaps because they had been influenced by the monster, were looking only at this side.
Kwak Sa-yeon.
She was running this way, united with the dimensional species.
Whoa! What is that.
Although she was originally a monster, she has become a real monster!
“Seohoyaah!”
Seeing Kwak Sa-yeon running madly with a scream that I didn’t know, I grabbed Seo-ho and Shi-ho and ran into the collapsed wall.
Kudang!
The sound of Kwak Sa-yeon falling, unable to control the speed as she ran at the speed of some kind of train, resounded.
After a bit of delay, I realized that I was about to be crushed over there and rubbed my arms with goosebumps.
“Isn’t it Kwak Sa-yeon?!”
“… … I think that’s right.”
As I answered Seo-ho’s question, a cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
It was a bit of a shock to me to see the hideous appearance of a human being as a dimensional species.
That’s because even though I hate you like a dog, we knew each other for a while.
“Tsuk, did that umbrella guy have an Akrai? It is a vicious drug that fuses the magical energy extracted from the dimensional species with humans. It is now a dimensional paper.”
Of course, I had no intention of saving it.
Whether Sa-yeon Kwak can return as a dimensional servant or not is not up to me.
But there was a problem.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now that woman is aiming at us, and I can’t control the lightning’s firepower.“If Sa-yeon Kwak is struck by lightning.”
“I will die.”
I took a small breath and looked at the two of them behind me.
For me, living in a modern society, the idea of murder was inevitable in some way.
‘Wake. Kang Ha-chan. If I do this, Siho and Seoho could be in big trouble.’
I hate Kwak Sa-yeon so much that I want to kill him, but I can’t really kill him because education in modern society is holding me back.
But as much as she can kill us now, I have to get out of those things.
“Ha-chan Kang, as long as there are returnees around you, this will continue to happen in the future.”
Baeksan, noticing what I was feeling, opened his mouth in a low voice.
“Returners turn away from the guilt of murder under the excuse of being in another world. And the outer surface gradually becomes dull, and you don’t feel anything about killing people.”
Then there was the sound of Kwak Sa-yeon, who slowly started moving again over the wall.
“I’m not telling you to be blunt. Don’t tell me not to feel it. However.”
My hand, holding the kerape, began to gain strength again.
“To protect the person next to you, you are not strong enough to decide someone’s life or death. Remember, it is greed that weighs the enemy’s life.”
My hesitation could kill Siho and Seoho.
With that the story ended.
“Shiho, we need to tie up Kwak Sa-yeon.”
When I called for Shiho, she also nodded with a firm expression on her face.
The firepower of my thunderbolt is clear thanks to Baeksan, but it is impossible to fine-tune it.
In addition, it is an oriental medicine that draws and shoots all of the auras that are latent in my body to the extent that I cannot control it.
I didn’t show it as much as possible, but I was still feeling a sense of weakness from the thunderbolt I used to smash the floor earlier.
In other words, if you can’t hit this one step, it’s the end.
“Can you do it?”
So I needed Shiho’s help.
With Shiho’s power, he’ll be able to tie up Kwak Sa-yeon as well.
“The person in charge.”
At my request, Shiho looked straight at me and smiled.
“In this case, you can just tell me to tie it up.”
That’s what I’m most grateful for.
“Ha-chan, I will help too. Isn’t Kwak Sa-yeon after me?”
It was already a nightmare for him, but I bit my lip and nodded.
Because I knew he would have a harder time if I excluded him as dangerous.
“Let’s do it.”
So my eyes were filled with will.
It is Kwak Sa-yeon, who is defeated.
