78 – Ice castle collapsing (5)
Seo Han-bit carefully examined Kim Young-ji’s research data.
About two hours.
There wasn’t really anything she could figure out by putting her brain to work.
Although she likes to play detective.
What she likes and what she is good at are two different things.
She knew that too.
That she couldn’t possibly uncover the truth with her own poor reasoning skills.
Seo Hanbit let out a deep sigh. She then put down her paper, which she stared at piercingly.
Seo Han-bit became a dead man from using her hair too much.
It was at that moment when she thought that if Lee Hyeon-seong came back, it would be better for her to discuss it with her then.
‘Eh…?’
Let’s clear her head.
She began to see things she hadn’t seen before.
She noticed something suspicious, and Seo Han-bit hurriedly looked at her paper again. It was a piece of paper with Kim Young-ji’s list of her skills written on it.
‘…This.’
Not a normal skill.
A list of job skills learned after obtaining a job.
At first glance, there was nothing strange about it.
One, if you look closely.
The job skills Kim Young-ji acquired had one thing in common.
‘Any skills that can be learned without getting a job?’
Just as Seo Hanbit noticed.
All of the job skills Kim Young-ji possessed existed as normal skills, and they were skills that could be used through artifacts.
‘Mmm. I thought the reason Yeongji was only able to learn simple healing and shield skills was because she had no understanding or talent for her job.’
Isn’t it true that he has a different job?
Seo Han-bit heard such a question.
Of course, the material you are currently viewing was written based on the information registered in the academy. The academy is officially guaranteeing Kim Young-ji’s job.
However, Seo Han-bit did not blindly trust her research data.
‘Because, like when I investigated Hyeonseong-sama, what you see isn’t everything.’
When investigating Lee Hyeon-seong.
The fact that he was promiscuous in the past popped up all over the place, but all of that data was destroyed.
The result of secretly following Lee Hyun-seong.
Because it turns out that I don’t lead a promiscuous life at all.
Like this.
The survey data was only for reference purposes.
Seo Han-bit thought more deeply.
Is Kim Young-ji’s profession a healer? She
Even though she went through confirmation using the appraisal tool at the academy, she couldn’t believe it because she also had artifacts that could manipulate the appraisal tool.
Kim Young-ji was a person who frequented the black market, so she could easily obtain manipulation artifacts.
Seo Han-bit picked up other research materials.
「Youngji visits the hair salon once a week. It is presumed that she is very interested in her appearance.”
‘Maybe she dyed her hair color now…’
Frequently going to the beauty salon.
I started to suspect that it wasn’t just because of thorough appearance management, but because of dyeing my roots.
To maintain the pink hair that is the symbol of the healer profession.
If the reasoning so far is correct.
Why do you bother to hide your job?
I came up with an answer right away from the letter.
‘…A job I do not want to disclose.’
Now it felt like everything was connected.
The existence of my father, who I heard passed away. A voice like a monster leaked from the room. A job that is hard to get a good look at.
Combining these three together.
It was concluded that the real job Kim Young-ji was hiding was a necromancer.
Sure.
Her necromancer, Youngji Kim, was taking care of her own father by reviving her as a zombie monster.
“There is always only one truth…!”
It was only a reasoning in the light of letters.
Seo Han-bit took out a piece of white paper.
She decided to organize the details of her reasoning so far, show it to Lee Hyeon-seong and discuss it later.
Of course, I’m not sure yet.
After conducting further background investigations on Kim Young-ji.
***
Iron Rice Bowl was wearing the same white gown as the other researchers. It fit quite well.
─Production is complete. Both of you, jump right in.
Bob Tong called Kaebi and Devil.
He upgraded his own weapons, lightsaber and sniper rifle, and made weapons for Kkaebi and Devil.
─Lighter than the ones I used before!
From Noble mtl dot com
The artifact handed over to Kkaebi had the same appearance as a baseball bat.
As an option.
They say it can be extended up to 10 meters in length. It’s like Yeouibong.
Next.
—Oh. Are you Knuckles?
The artifact Devil received was a knuckle.
When it touches the opponent.
It is said to have the effect of reducing durability and paralyzing.
As well.
We also produced a large number of mass-produced artifacts that other summons could use easily.
‘Now I can arm all the summoned beasts.’
In the meantime, I was restrained because I thought it was too extravagant. However, if it was possible to mass-produce high-quality artifacts in such a short period of time, it was enough to be worn by all summoned beasts.
With this, the first preparations for dealing with the Liberation executives have been completed.
***
The day I decided to meet with Kim Soo-han came.
The location was set as the association dungeon.
I was walking down the hallway on the second floor to leave the mansion.
“Hyeonseong.”
I heard a familiar voice.
But the direction I heard was strange.
‘Why can I hear it from above?’
He raised his head. Seo Han-bit applied a protective film and was seen hanging from the ceiling.
“…What are you doing there?”
“Shh!”
Seo Hanbit lightly landed on the floor. After looking around her, she grabbed my arm and dragged me into her room.
Kung.
After closing and locking the door.
Seo Han-bit pushed several pieces of paper at me.
I was handed a piece of paper and asked.
“… What is this?”
“This is Yeongji-nim’s research data. I recently did a background investigation because I was suspicious.”
Looks like he’s into detective play again.
Is Kim Young-ji the target this time?
Somehow, I wondered why they didn’t follow me these days.
‘But I have a good sense of it.’
I didn’t know that Seo Han-bit was also suspicious of Kim Young-ji. Because she thought I was the only one who was suspicious of Kim Young-ji.
“Ah! Of course, it’s not that Yeongji-nim did anything bad or anything like that! It seems like you’re just hiding something, so I’m doing a background check, but I’m going to share information with Hyeonseong-nim in advance, just in case.”
Seo Han Bit added that if she goes missing, she will take over.
It seemed like he was obsessed with role play.
“I’ll read it later. I have somewhere to go now.”
“Yes! Let’s go and come and talk separately then!”
“And as Hanbit-nim said, it could be dangerous, so stop investigating the background.”
“That, that is dereliction of duty as a detective…”
“Don’t talk nonsense and wait quietly in your room.”
I returned the paper I received from Seo Han-bit.
“I’ll be back soon, so don’t do anything weird. OK?”
“Yes… Come on, I’ll make dinner.”
“·······.”
The conversation seemed to be going strangely, but I didn’t pay much attention to it and opened the door and went out.
‘I was going to investigate it separately sooner or later, but one less job.’
I decided to finish my meeting with Kim Soo-han quickly and come back.
***
You have arrived at the Association Dungeon.
It was a dungeon full of insects, so it was not popular and there were few people.
‘I also needed a fragment of a bug monster, so it’s the perfect place. Although I can’t make any money.’
Breaking down the Freezing Guild.
When Cha Yoo-ra faced Cha Byeong-ho, various bug monsters were planned to be created to prevent Cha Yoo-ra from shrinking.
Priority, of course,
A monster in the form of a cockroach.
‘Let’s go and subdue him before Kim Soo-han comes. I’ll have to pay for the ticket in shreds and go.’
The contact method is after I entered first.
It was a way for Kim Soo-han to come in after a period. Because I might be suspicious of the Liberation guys who meet outside for no reason.
Usually, I used to possess Gae Ddong to talk to him, but today I had an artifact to hand over, so I decided to meet him separately.
After leaving the entrance and moving deep into the dungeon.
─This is a disgusting dungeon.
While the iron rice bowl was supporting the disgusting insect monsters with a flamethrower.
‘Are you here?’
I could see Kim Soo-han in the distance.
There was also a woman with green hair behind her.
‘I also brought Park Soo-min.’
I didn’t pay attention when they said they were dating.
‘Because it seems like Park Soo-min genuinely likes Kim Soo-han.’
The two of them got along very well.
Because I met people who pursue platonic love.
Kim Soo-han still has erectile dysfunction.
Park Soo-min was extremely reluctant to have skinship with a man due to the trauma of being s*xually molested.
‘Seeing that they’re holding hands, it seems that that is the acceptable range.’
Kim Soo-han, who found her, told her what she was saying to Park Soo-min, and he left her alone and ran to me. It seems that he asked me to wait for a while.
“It’s a bit late.”
“Sorry.”
“…I have nothing to apologize for. Take this first.”
I handed Kim Soo-han a dog suit and a black bead.
It was a protective artifact worn by Dog Poop and Scout Ant.
“Can I just put the clothes on?”
“Yes. Scout Ant just needs to slide it into the black orb.”
After that.
We talked about future plans while subduing the bugs in moderation.
The first objective was, of course, the eradication of liberation.
I have no worries about this.
The head of Liberation can be easily dealt with with Kim Soo-han’s backhoe, and the rest of the executives can be approached from our side first and wiped out.
The problem was next.
Preparing by completing the story early before a new writer arrives in this world.
That was our main purpose.
Kim Soo-han also actively agreed to this plan.
‘If the death of the head of the Liberation, which was set as the ending by the previous writer, is hastened, the parody writer will return, so we can come up with a countermeasure.’
I exchanged various information with Kim Soo-han for a long time.
“Anyway, give one more warning to the Freezing Guild officers. It hurts when things go wrong.”
“Okay.”
After giving a last warning to Kim Soo-han.
I was thinking of disbanding soon.
I suddenly had a question, so I asked Kim Soo-han.
“You didn’t approach Han Seok-ho’s girlfriend, did you?”
Now, there is no way to steal Han Seok-ho’s lover like in the original work, but I warned him just in case. Because Han Seok-ho is the person I liked and supported the most.
“Oh, that…”
Kim Soo-han ominously blurted out her words.
Then she spoke again cautiously.
“I heard Han Seok-ho’s girlfriend already had an affair with another man…?”
···That’s damn right.
