32 – Suspicion of Higher Persons
Hunters Association.
A national organization that is a general gathering of countless hunter guilds that exist in Korea, coordinates disputes between hunter guilds that have a lot of talk and rides, and induces cooperation as needed.
Lee Yong-hyun, an executive of the association, one of the executives here and a person who takes pride in doing his best for this country and humanity today, is serious with his colleagues in relation to the recent outbreak of predator-class demons. The discussion was going on.
“As you all know, until then, the frequency of occurrence of Predator-class or higher demons was literally one every three months. From that point of view, the frequency of their appearances over the past month has literally been questionable.”
Yonghyun speaks with a serious and powerful voice typical of a middle-aged man
As he heard these words, another middle-aged female executive sitting across from her calmly nodded her head and opened her mouth.
“I too was looking at it suspiciously enough. The appearance of 20 or so Predator-class mines in a month. No matter how you think about it, it is absolutely not a number that has increased naturally.”
Generally, the grade of a mine is divided into a total of five levels.
Scavenger (corpse cleaner)
They are the lowest level of demons, stronger than humans, but not beyond the level of beasts, and beings that even ordinary humans can hunt if they are well equipped with weapons.
Beast (Beast)
Unmatchable beings who are not specially trained agents or C-class hunters.
If you are as lucky as famous wild beasts that roam in the natural world, you can destroy a village by yourself.
Predator (predator)
An existence that transcends the realm of a normal creature, it is impossible to handle unless you are at least a B-class A hunter or higher.
With a single-man corps-level power, it is possible to destroy a city alone.
Destroyer (Destroyer)
An entity that can blow up a few cities or even an entire country.
A general term for the top level demons who are classed as monsters that cannot be dealt with unless they are some of the top A-class or S-class.
World Destroyer (World Destroyer)
Even S-class hunters cannot be sure of victory… In the worst case, they are believed to bring about a crisis for the entire human race.
Among these demons, the appearance of scavengers and beast-class demons has occurred quite a lot since before, and it has happened quite frequently depending on the season or social atmosphere.
However.. It was almost never happened in the history of war between hunters and demons over 100 years ago that predator-class mines appeared on a large scale like now.
In that respect, it could be said that it was rather strange to not feel any sense of incongruity in this current situation, and this was the part that the executives here also agreed on.
“I don’t know if there were any signs before that.. Certainly, this incident seems to be an unnatural phenomenon. Some self-professed experts are saying that this may be a precursor to some large-scale disaster.”
The words of an executive who has a relatively young appearance compared to other executives, most of whom are middle-aged or elderly.
Although it was too early to be certain about the story behind it, everyone agreed that there was something suspicious in the mines incident that was currently occurring.
And…
In this regard, the eldest among the executives and the person in charge of the association’s chairman began to speak in a voice full of even deeper seriousness.
“Then, with this, everyone here can agree on the point that this situation is considered abnormal. If so, what we need to discuss from now on is countermeasures. It’s obvious, but if Predator-level mines are pouring out like now, the defense system made up of Hunters could collapse soon.
Among the B-class hunters, there weren’t that many who could deal with Predator-class mines.
There were not enough A-class hunters to cover one area, and there were too few S-class hunters.
In this realistic aspect, the Hyeonteo Association had no choice but to feel concerned about the impending disaster, and was thinking about the need to prepare countermeasures for it, no matter what.
Then…
“About that… I have something to tell you.”
Among them, the only executive who remained silent.
He has auburn hair and brown eyes.
She is a woman who is young enough to feel young compared to the other executives and has a look that could be considered quite beautiful.
She, who bears the name Munhwa-ryun, calmly began to speak in front of her in front of other executives.
“Actually, I too was suspicious of this incident and was investigating it in advance. So, there is something I would like to say to the executives in relation to that.”
Munhwa-ryun has had faster information and analysis than other executives.
As much as she said, the others, including the chairman, naturally began to pay attention, and towards them, Cultural Reun put the materials he had prepared in front of them.
“First of all, this is the number of deaths related to the large-scale ambush of Predator-class mines. As the data indicates, although the property damage involved was substantial, the resulting casualties were surprisingly low despite the appearance of the Predator class.”
“Umm.. That’s it.. Isn’t it because our hunters work so hard?”
“Unfortunately, even taking that into account, this figure is far too low. An entire park has been blown away, and several large buildings or buildings have been destroyed without a single pillar remaining. Even in the midst of that, the number of deaths on the fingers clearly means something is there.”
While the damage to property was not negligible, the number of people who were certainly injured or killed was unusually small.
It’s as if Mine didn’t intentionally hurt anyone…
And in this regard, Munhwa-ryun continued to talk about her issue that she was thinking about.
“In addition, there is one more noticeable factor related to the series of mine events.”
“A conspicuous element.. What is it?”
“It’s about who’s benefiting the most from this. It is… This person.”
With those words, Munhwa-ryun presents another document in front of the executives.
Inside it was the figure of a woman wearing her glasses, with her black hair and red eyes.
“This is the Hunter who made the biggest achievement whenever the demons appeared. Nyale of Chaos, since becoming a Hunter a month ago, more than 60% of the Predator-class mines that have occurred have been killed by her hand. In addition, she was recognized for her achievements and set an unprecedented record of becoming an A-class hunter in just one month.”
“Umm..”
“Nayale La of chaos.
“Certainly… After hearing it, it seems that there is a rather suspicious corner.”
The story of the large-scale newcomer, which was already becoming a hot topic in the world, was already in the ears of some executives.
A new hunter who kills Predator-class mines with one blow.
In this situation, there was a part in the data presented by the cultural association that made them sufficiently suspicious.
“Yeah.. Did you find out where the newcomer lives?”
“Yes. According to an investigation based on her face, it was confirmed that she currently resides in Cheongju. I also know the exact address, so I can send someone right away.”
Of course, you can see that she was able to respond quickly to her attack simply because she had quick information in her own way, but nevertheless, I can’t help but doubt the situation that fits so exquisitely like this.
In this regard, the executives of the Hunter Association decided to conduct a more detailed investigation into the new member in question.
‘Niyale of Chaos.. If this guy is really the source of demons, she must be eliminated. I won’t let anything similar happen in this country to what these cockroaches did.’
