“The air is different here!”

“It’s just like the Demon World. The energy of death felt in the ground is calling to me. Oooh!”

The spirits seem to be felt as soon as they are summoned.

That it is a different world.

A lonely factory in a barren land.

As I slowly approached, people armed with rifles and mechanical equipment looked at me.

“Who are you?”

“I came from the Full House request office.”

One of the guards, a man wearing red goggles, approached with a loud voice.

“Show your permit.”

Before leaving, I took out the small mechanical chip I received from my broker sister.

Then he took out a strange device and scanned the chip.

[Attendant: Summoner Park Ja-geun]

[App rating: Gold]

[Total rating: 245]

[Consistent with received information.]

“I submitted a request a week ago and it was sent quickly..”

He seemed displeased, perhaps because the support came late.

It seems that Jenny’s request office is not doing as well as expected.

Anyway, permission to enter was granted right away.

Once my identity was confirmed, I followed him and entered the fence.

“What abilities do you have?”

“I know how to handle blood.”

He was armed and showed an exact copy of the rifle he was holding.

“It doesn’t look bad.”

He put down his rifle, perhaps feeling relieved that his abilities were being shown right before his eyes.

“What is my job?”

“There are pollutants that attack the factory every night when it is in operation. You just have to block them.”

It was simple and easy.

A mission to protect the factory.

I was confident that my simple defense would not be breached.

“Just block the back of the factory. This way.”

We followed him armed and entered the factory.

Looking at the miscellaneous machine parts scattered around, I wondered what kind of machine parts factory it was.

-Klick..Klick..

When I entered the factory, it was different from what I expected.

It felt like a laboratory with green floors and walls.

“What does this factory do?”

“Confidential.”

He was the one who drew the line.

I no longer harbored any curiosity.

If I try to find out, that gun might be aimed at me.

As I walked through the central passage of the factory, I was able to see a little bit of the interior.

I looked at the eyeball picture poster on the wall and listened to the voices of employees passing by.

I thought it was a factory that made artificial snow or something.

“Are you here? Leader. hmm? Who is that guy next to you?”

As we headed to the back of the factory, there were many people waiting with rifles, along with an armed bald man.

“Reinforcements.”

“Are you talking about this kid?”

The kid was definitely hit by the bald guy.

Even if you can’t, you’re at least 2 meters tall.

I’m 180cm tall and with my bald head in front of me, I really looked like a kid.

“Even though he looks like this, he has the ability to manipulate blood. It will be of great help.”

“Ah..hehehe.. I was rude.”

The bald man scratched his head and gave me an apologetic look.

Seeing everyone using Tanaka made me feel like I was a soldier again.

So, in order to fit in with them, I decided to take the playful tone out of my voice.

“It’s okay.”

“Where did you come from? Summons? black? Or a legend?”

“It’s a place called Full House…”

“Yes? full house? This is my first request office.”

The bald man looked disappointed when he heard that it was a full house.

“Cooker, we are also in a hurry, so we have requested support from all of the referral centers. It’s fortunate that at least one person came.”

“I see… Captain.”

The bald man was upset, fiddling with his rifle and grumbling.

It seems that he was disappointed that the support came from a not-so-famous referral agency.

“I hope this helps.”

“That should be it.”

I guess it’s still not reliable.

Rather than being happy about my support, the unit members showed more worried faces.

After a brief meeting, the captain and some others left for patrol.

I sat down outside the dusty factory, looking blankly at the wasteland.

“Take one of these.”

“Thank you.”

The bald man must have been upset about his mistake earlier, so he brought a can of drink and handed it to me.

A pineapple-flavored canned drink that I hate.

Out of courtesy, I immediately opened the lid and quenched my thirst.

“Have you done a lot of commissioned work?”

“I’ve only tried it a few times.”

“Then.. this must be the first time something like this has happened.”

“I have several experiences defending the area. I also have a military background.”

“Oh.. he was a soldier. haha. Actually, most of the commissioned work and mercenary work are done by retired soldiers.”

The bald man seemed to have a lot of experience working with people like me.

“He’s quite young.. He didn’t run away, right?”

“I was discharged from military service.”

If he were to be considered a retired soldier, he would have served in the military for decades, but since he looks young, there are some questions.

“Our country is at war, so conscription is mandatory. I had to pick up a gun at a young age.”

“A country at war… It must have been quite bloody.”

“Sometimes I felt that way. The place where I served in the military was always full of flocks of eagles.”

“An eagle..?”

“Yes, they were watching us from the sky to eat our dead bodies.”

“Keuhm..that can’t be possible..”

The bald man’s reaction was quite delicious.

He broke into a cold sweat after hearing what I said, as if he had witnessed something terrible.

Of course, when we’re with men, we talk about the military.

I was happy because it seemed to work out well.

“Sometimes I hear a popping sound in the early morning.”

“Exploding sound..”

“It is the sound of passing elk cubs stepping on a landmine and exploding.”

-pop!!

“Just like before… boom…”

“Oh! It’s polluted! You stepped on a landmine! I will contact the captain right away!”

Suddenly, a huge tremor was felt outside the factory, and the bald man and I panicked.

But I soon came to my senses and grasped the situation.

“Captain. Captain.”

“What’s going on?”

“Contaminant is approaching!”

“Okay. I will go quickly.”

While the bald man was reporting the situation to the captain in the hologram, he sneakily walked over the fence and looked at the wasteland.

Is that pollution?

Both hands are hook-shaped. The face is a snake. The body was bipedal like a human.

It looked similar to the chimera from mythology.

“Contaminants during the day.. They must only appear at night.. Crazy..! The factory guys made the factory run without saying anything!”

The bald man grumbled as if he had finished reporting the situation and looked at the factory chimney.

I saw a lot of green smoke coming out.

After seeing the smoke, I immediately raised my rifle.

The bald man aiming at the pollutant pulled the trigger.

-bang!

One shot hit the contaminant’s head precisely.

However, as if something was blocking it, the polluted body shook its head a few times and started walking like a zombie as if nothing had happened.

“Special skin..! shit! It’s a level 3 pollutant, Captain!”

Upon seeing the pollutant deflecting bullets, the bald man took out a sword full of saw blades.

“This guy doesn’t work at long range, so you’ll have to fight in close combat!”

At the bald man’s words, he created a spear made of blood.

Thinking that it really wasn’t effective at long distances, I jumped out of the fence and threw the spear as hard as I could at the pollutant.

-Hutuk!

“Kwak..Kwak..”

Thanks to the advanced throwing technique, the flying spear accurately hit the guy’s head.

It was embedded into the solid wasteland floor and became a fixed contaminant.

“Just..at once..”

The bald man looked at the pollutant and me with a surprised expression.

“I guess it’s not just one guy.”

Similar-looking pollutants were seen gathering one by one around the struggling pollutant.

“Contaminants are…”

“They are gathered over there. Captain.”

Fortunately, the captain and his unit arrived quickly and began taking out their weapons for battle.

“Prevent people from coming near the factory as much as possible.”

“”Yes! Captain!””

It was visible that they had come together over a long period of time.

Everyone took their seats and took out their weapons, making it look like a pretty cool special forces unit.

Thanks to the information I heard from the bald man, everyone raised their melee weapons, not guns, and followed me outside the fence where I was standing.

“Did you do it to that guy who became a skewer?”

The captain saw the polluted body pierced through the red spear and approached me.

“Yes, but as soon as it was attacked, other pollutants started to gather.”

“Most pollutants are not intelligent. However, the instinct remains and they gather together when their allies are attacked.”

This meant that all the contaminants that were gradually gathering had to be dealt with.

“Bullets don’t work, but my blood spear seems to work. So, I will do my best to prevent them from approaching.”

“Then we will deal with anything that comes close. Don’t worry, just keep blowing the spear.”

At the captain’s words, I created a blood-red spear again and aimed at the approaching pollutants.

It hits as soon as you throw it.

“Oh..it works really well..!”

Every time the unit members hit a pollutant, they praised it highly.

This is the shooting skills of the reserve forces.

He continued to throw spears, accompanied by exclamations of exclamation from the crew around him.

Throwing.

Throw again.

It pierced through all the pollutants before they approached.

“Hey..hey! And then you’ll fall down!? Looks like they’re using a lot of blood!”

“There is still room.”

Because my stamina was high, I did not get tired at all even if I continued to use my blood.

So all the crew members stood there blankly, just watching me throw the javelin.

Until you take care of all the pollutants on your own.

“Amazing..”

“I think I caught dozens of them by myself. Captain..”

The way everyone looks at me has changed.

At first, their eyes were full of suspicion, but now they were eyes of surprise.

I hate people looking at me like this.

I don’t know if she was a pretty girl, but for some reason, I felt like my superiors in the military were looking at me, so I wasn’t very happy.

In any case, he succeeded in blocking the pollutant’s first attack alone.

“It was true that he was a retired soldier.”

“Yes.. well.. I did complete the full term.”

I think the bald man doubted that I was a soldier until I showed him my performance.

“But why are pollutants coming to the factory in the morning?”

“Protein gas generated from the factory is attracting pollutants from the surrounding area.”

“If it’s protein gas.. the smell of meat?”

“Contaminants will feel that way. But protein gas only comes out at night.. I wonder what else they are doing inside the factory.”

“Umm..I see..”

“I need to apply for additional allowances from the company. Leave your seat for a moment.”

The captain was seen entering the factory with a serious face.

He seemed angry, perhaps because he had more work to do outside of the designated hours.

It’s an extra allowance…

I was excited that maybe I could even get a bonus for my first request.
