Genius interception (3)
It was Jang Si-hwan.
He was surprised for a moment, but Kang Hu immediately realized the meaning of this situation.
‘This bastard. The guild members put in an all-out war, and he secretly came to the dungeon and sucked honey.’
Kang Hu’s contemptuous gaze, hidden behind an expressionless face, turned to Jang Si-hwan.
Jang Si-hwan is a high-level, no, black magician with excellent skills that is lacking in formula.
In addition to black magic, he is also a multi-talented person who specializes in spatial skills.
It is similar to Ganghu, which is not specific to only one assassin job group.
With his skill, it would have been easy to control the minds of all the hunters stationed near the dungeon entrance.
So he must have entered the dungeon without even knowing it. Probably not even in the memories of the hunters who guarded it.
Just as Ganghu did to Yu Cheong-hwa, he prepared to respond to any mental attack that might come in from nowhere.
There was no particular attempt by Jang Si-hwan, but that doesn’t mean you can’t relax.
Variables arise suddenly when you are not paying attention, in an unexpected place. It is the eternal truth.
Contrary to what Kang Hu said, he spoke to Sihwan Jang in a calm and organized tone.
“Nice to meet you.”
“You have entered the dungeon well. Everyone tried to come in and then went back. Didn’t someone stop you?”
What Jang Si-hwan meant was that there was also a sentry for the Jeonghwa Guild at the entrance, but how did he cheat and enter?
“I came in without even knowing it, so of course no one stopped me.”
“Ohh? okay. Once the tension is released. I’m not asking to interrogate you.”
Jang Si-hwan shrugged.
Meanwhile, he was recalling memories of the observatory, that is, Ganghu.
While investigating the CCTV of the site in relation to Gong Tae-soo, I found a hunter who moved to the roof of the building.
It was after the river.
Still, Sihwan Jang does not know Kanghu’s name.
Instead, I remember the place because I remember the uniquely special first meeting at the observatory.
In the CCTV footage, Ganghu was clearly moving on top of the building in the same direction as Gong Tae-soo’s bus.
Of course, it was not possible to specify that Ganghu cut Gong Tae-soo’s left arm.
At the time, the mercenaries who were aiming for Tae-Soo Gong were not one or two because of the ‘Fireworks’.
‘According to Master K, Jang Si-hwan was interested in the person who attacked Gong Tae-soo.’
Kang Hu was refining his thoughts in his own way while meeting Jang Si-hwan’s eyes naturally.
If Jang Si-hwan conducted an investigation into the scene where he attacked Gong Tae-soo… … .
It’s very likely that it was caught somewhere.
Even if there is no direct evidence of attacking Gong Tae-soo, he must have been caught at least once in the vicinity.
Jang Si-hwan is clever.
You can pretend you don’t know everything, or you can pretend you don’t know and ask a sneak peek.
Jang Si-hwan was the person who was molded with affection until he was reborn as the ‘Shin Kang-hu’ of this damn world.
Isn’t that the main character of the original story?
That’s why I couldn’t be careless. This guy is also another ‘me’, so he’s a smart guy.
Ganghu said.
“yes. I came in looking for a niche market. It is also a unique opportunity.”
“I thought that too. Officially, it’s not a dungeon that belongs anywhere, right?”
“It still is.”
So far, this answer contained an inner meaning that it would soon be owned by the Purification Guild.
Perhaps he liked Ganghu’s indirect recognition, but Jang Si-hwan’s slightly rigid face relaxed.
Jang Si-hwan’s reddish eyes scan his whole body with a sharpness disguised as softness.
‘When coincidences overlap, there’s bound to be an interest that wasn’t there then.’
An observatory, and today a dungeon.
A chance meeting with Jang Si-hwan has already happened twice.
If you think about the fact that you personally gathered information about the work related to Gong Tae-soo.
In other words, there were three contact points between Jang Si-hwan and himself. At this level, it will definitely be imprinted in your memory.
【Overwhelming power.】
【A proper match is located behind that contractor in the front. It won’t be easy.]
【The Great Sanctuary is too small.】
Dimensional usurper, Apocalypse – Darkness, Wilderness strategist each told what they felt about Jang Si-hwan.
Those who seldom say words of admiration were nervous.
at that time.
“Would you like some?”
Sihwan Jang took out an energy bar from his pocket and handed it to Kanghu.
In the original work, Jang Si-hwan’s favorite snack, which he often ate, was an energy bar, and of course he brought it.
‘If you combine this with dalgona and latte, it’s Jang Si-hwan’s happy snack combination.’
It is a vivid memory.
Isn’t Jang Si-hwan the other person who knows more than himself?
“I won’t.”
After receiving the energy bar, Ganghu immediately opened the package and chewed it over.
The taste is really good.
“You look just like me.”
“yes?”
“Eating tasteless.”
Jang Si-hwan laughed.
Looking at each other’s appearances, it was right to eat briskly.
Just by looking at his expression, he has such a hardened expression that he wonders if he is forced to eat in order to survive.
Certainly, Jang Si-hwan had manners, unlike Chae Kwan-hyung and Shin Tae-seok, who were at the level of personality breakers.
Of course, it is also a character that was painstakingly created in the original work.
From noble mtl dot com
He’s kind, kind, and takes good care of those around him. At the same time, he wants to save people in trouble.
He has the personality of a typical hero character. Of course, they all gave out harpoons in the ending.
If you go back to the ending and interpret this appearance, you can see it as a perfectly disguised pretense.
No one knows what is hidden behind a smiling face. only you will know
While eating the remaining half of the energy bar, Jang Si-hwan turned the topic. It was a rather direct question.
“What do you think of the subjugation in Osan?”
“I have no idea. For a vagrant like me, it’s about other people.”
“Do you think it doesn’t matter who wins?”
“I think a winning guild is justice. Justice is a luxury for a losing guild.”
At that moment, Jang Si-hwan’s eyes brightened and then returned to normal. It was a change that Kang Hu also recognized.
That seems like a pretty interesting answer. Usually, in front of Jang Si-hwan, I will talk a lot of principle.
For example, the purification guild is justice, so I pray for the victory of the purification guild… … dog sound.
Ganghu did not praise unconditionally, but just faced and mentioned the reality that was influenced by the logic of power.
“That’s a wise answer.”
clap clap clap
Jang Si-hwan clapped for admiration. Is this the answer you wanted to hear? Or is emptiness spoiled?
Anyway, the short meeting and snack time with Jang Si-hwan ended.
Contrary to what I thought would cause trouble by being treated as an uninvited guest, nothing happened.
And Jang Si-hwan took the western route, the opposite of Ganghu.
It seems that Gi-yeon was not destined to visit him today.
Ganghu started moving to the east route again.
Since I met Sihwan Jang inside the dungeon, I wanted to get my hands on the skill as soon as possible.
* * *
Since clearing the dungeon was not the main purpose, Ganghu only dealt with monsters that got in the way while moving.
Still, since they were monsters with decent experience, they grew quite well.
When Ganghu arrived at the point he thought, he was able to achieve level 101.
I also succeeded in catching a goblin middle boss who was swinging an ax while catching a lot of poop in the middle.
He was such an insignificant guy that I couldn’t even remember his name, but his name was a middle boss, so he got a skill.
【Indestructible】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【This is a skill that makes even spoiled things delicious to eat.】
“This is also a skill… … . okay. Eating spoiled food is also a skill. Because it’s not normal.”
Kanghu laughed at the monster eating skill he got from the goblin middle boss.
No matter how much I thought about it, I wondered if this deserved to be added to the list of skills.
Eating spoiled food is not a problem. The problem is getting sick after eating.
Anyway, after arriving at the destination, Ganghu diligently looked around.
【The mountain peak was shaped like a pair of scissors made from rock paper scissors with thumb and forefinger.
It was in the thorny bushes near the peak that Jang Si-hwan discovered something unusual.
It’s a place I wouldn’t normally go to, but that day was truly a lucky day.]
The content in the original work that came to mind vividly matched the appearance of the scene that was visible to the eyes.
The move was quick.
Although the location of the thorn bush was in a slightly precipitous place that was difficult to move on foot.
He had enough strength to hold on to rocks and crevices anyway, so there was no problem.
Sasak. Sasasak.
Using the dagger, he slowly cleared the thorn bush, revealing a clear, blazing space.
It was a completely different landscape from the dungeon with the concept of a mountain as its background.
‘Jang Si-hwan picked up the yellow stone.’
if you go inside
Rainbow-colored stones are scattered everywhere and floating around. It is the weightless space of the universe.
Jang Si-hwan in the original work did not know exactly where this place was, and in the midst of embarrassment, he ‘roughly’ picked up a nearby stone.
It was a yellow stone.
However, to Kang-hu, who was used to the rainbow-colored manastone grade, the meaning of the stone seemed different.
In fact, as the red magic stone was the most expensive, I wondered if the red stone would be the most valuable here.
That’s why it’s the furthest away.
‘No matter which stone I pick up, it’s clear that it will be of great help.’
A space designed for entertainment.
It is designed to be profitable no matter what you catch.
However, the only thing Ganghu remembers is the story related to the yellow stone.
The rest is probably the embodiment of the unconscious. You have to see for yourself what kind of unconsciousness it is.
“after.”
Take a deep breath.
Kang-hu, who raised the tension of his body, pushed his body into the transparent space without hesitation.
‘also.’
The surrounding landscape has changed.
It was in the middle of space.
Numerous stars and galaxies can be seen everywhere, unusually shaped nebulae can be seen, and thick darkness can be seen.
Jang Si-hwan of the original work was deprived of his gaze here. And that much time was lost.
【The order of the Grand Sanctuary must be maintained. I will quickly destroy the wrong space.]
An unknown voice is heard. It doesn’t matter who said it, but the content does.
Ganghu sprinted towards the red stone. It was empty space with no place to step, but I ran anyway.
All the skills that could be used, including leap and acceleration, were dragged and used. The red stone was that far.
… … .
Space quickly disappeared in the silence of the universe where no sound could be heard.
The sight of everything distorting and disappearing as if being sucked into a black hole was fear itself.
It was close.
The speed of the collapsing space and Kang-hoo’s speed toward the red stone were almost the same.
If he doesn’t catch the stone, he may come in to steal Jang Si-hwan’s opportunity and end up doing nothing.
‘little bit more.’
gritted it
It should be faster than the rate of collapse. More, more, a little more. He moved, enduring the pain that seemed to crush his bones.
and.
Percussion!
Kang-hoo’s hand grabbed the red stone at the same time.
“… … !”
Caught in the collapse of space.
At that moment, before I knew it, I was back in front of the thorn bush. With a stone in your hand.
Soon, the stone turned into a handful of ash, creating something new that hadn’t existed before.
It was a piece of paper.
An unusual piece of paper with a lot of writing on it, densely written with content never seen before.
【Twisted Contract】
An unidentified contract appeared whose purpose could not even be guessed.
