episode_0127

One useless thing.

Eunha is quite a shy person.

To be exact, they don’t really welcome someone’s approach.

It would be enough to describe it as a bit of social phobia.

For example… while she was walking alone on the street, someone spoke to her.

Eunha’s gaze always moves first toward the suitcase she is dragging rather than the face of the person she is talking to.

Check the carrier containing the [Black Book].

The first reason is that it is difficult to tell at a glance whether that ‘someone’ is a human or a monster.

The second reason is that humans are often ‘attacked’ for unknown reasons.

A daily life where loan sharks come to visit, gas inspectors attempt to kidnap you, and you get stabbed by a thug on your way to work.

If Eunbangul hadn’t stood at the counter praising her for being the cafe’s best face sign, Eunha might have quietly stayed in the kitchen and just made coffee with Kang Na-ri.

Monsters, people,

I hope you don’t come closer than necessary.

Eunha’s honest feelings.

… … Still, if possible.

I want to live happily with other people.

I feel sorry for you.

“Wow, it’s heavier than I thought. I guess you must be carrying a lot of things. You always carry it around. Isn’t it difficult?”

In that sense, the actions of the young man at the blood donation center who suddenly lifted up the carrier containing the [Black Book] saying he would help,

It was enough to make Eunha frown.

… … .

… … .

“Are you going to go home right away? Oh, can I speak in peace?”

“no.”

The self-proclaimed ace of the newly recruited [Clean solution collection team].

The young man lifted his black carrier bag with one hand and smiled kindly at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Even with a smile that everyone would look at at least once, she doesn’t even blink an eye.

He was confident.

It’s like seducing a girl.

An enviable appearance and ‘skills’ specialized for combat.

With that alone, there are many people who want to impress Hunter, who has a bright future.

If we look at his family history further, it is clear that he will easily fall for Jeong-dong, a D-class hunter who has nothing but a beautiful face and an obscene body.

‘then. ‘Who am I?’

Interference with [Rare Hunter Protection-Kill Department]?

I bet there won’t be any.

According to the story the young man picked up, I heard that the [Rare Hunter Protection-Killing Department] only prevents the hunter in question from escaping from the influence of the Hunter Association, and does not interfere with each individual’s private life.

Injuries leading to death, or kidnapping by external forces.

If it’s not that much, it won’t move.

That is why the ‘crude liquid’ cannot be brought to the [facility].

So… wouldn’t it be enough if the ‘undiluted solution’ makes people donate their blood on their own?

Even now, there are quite a few beggars who come to donate blood in hopes of having a conversation with him.

The cow in front of you will soon become one of them.

The young man raised the corners of his mouth, thinking of the [Rare Hunter Protection – Killing Department] who were watching from somewhere.

‘Intermediate things.’

Protect when a protection order is given, and kill when a kill order is given.

Abandoned dogs like trash.

Do these guys know why their ‘target’ was classified as a rare hunter and what the association is doing?

“Eunha. I came to find something you left behind.”

At that time, a beautiful woman dressed in a black suit approached me with an expressionless face.

The young man, thinking he had been interrupted, tried to frown, but when he saw the beautiful face of the woman approaching him, he instantly relaxed his expression and smiled.

An office worker who visits the cafe where ‘WonAek’ works every day.

The name must have been… Ban Harin.

According to the information registered in the association’s database, he is a C-class hunter with an ordinary skill called ‘increased moving vision’.

“……Did I leave something behind?”

“That’s right.”

Ban Harin, who approached Eunha like a ghost without making a sound, glanced at the handsome young man holding Eunha’s suitcase next to him. Then, he takes out a chick-patterned handkerchief from the inside pocket of his suit and puts it in Eunha’s hand.

Eunha took the handkerchief and made a subtle expression.

The look in Ban Harin’s eyes trying to read his inner thoughts.

“…Thank you for coming to tell me on purpose.”

“On my way, I saw a flyer for a discount event at the supermarket. If you have time, would you like to go with me?”

If Eunha nods, it seems as if she will immediately take the suitcase and leave this place.

Ban Harin stares straight at Eunha’s face and holds out his hand.

Eunha’s eyes moved quickly.

“……Oh, is that so… Thank you for your words, but I’ll decline. I’m tired today, so I guess I’ll have to go home. A kind person said he would help me carry my luggage.”

“Is that so…”

Was it an unexpected answer?

Ban Harin ‘observed’ Eunha’s face.

“…….”

Ordinary expression.

The same expressionless face as Ban Harin.

Not a single trace of laughter can be found,

Natural face.

Ban Harin shrugged his shoulders in shock and stroked his face with one hand.

“……I understand. Please be careful when you return home.”

“Mr. Banharin, please be healthy too.”

With a subtle farewell, Ban Harin turned his back without regret and quietly left with a discount event flyer.

Sarah… Sarah…

The sound of a collar rubbing.

A sound that follows like footsteps.

The cafe regular disappeared right in front of the two people.

The young man, who had been looking at the back of Ban Harin as he left, looked back at Eunha.

Eunha is still troubled with an expressionless face.

‘I was definitely smiling just now… Well, it doesn’t matter. It’s not like people live with smiles all day long.’

widely!

A young man who naturally tried to put his hand on Eunha’s shoulder but was stopped.

He smiled sheepishly and followed Eunha, who was ahead, towards the ‘Saetstar Apartment’.

… … .

Rumbling……

Against the background of a gloomy sky that looks like heavy rain is about to pour at any moment,

On a dark evening, relying on the light of the sunset seeping through the dark clouds and the streetlights illuminating the surroundings,

The young man following Eunha carrying a black suitcase,

like,

Like a traveler possessed by a fox.

… … .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“……It’s a very shabby apartment. Don’t you feel anxious living in a place like this?”

“I think it’s the safest apartment in the world.”

The young man looked up at the ‘9th floor’ apartment building in front of him and naturally attempted to have a conversation.

Eunha, who was walking ahead, answered appropriately.

Okay. That type of person is inherently weak at being pushed around.

Even now, we walked together to the apartment without even thinking about getting the suitcase back.

The young man looked around the ‘Saetstar Apartment’, imagining what would happen in the future.

Even though it was evening time, the apartment was dark.

This is because the lights in every house are turned off. When I look up at the pitch-black window, a strange feeling of dizziness comes over me and makes me shake my head.

A parking lot with only one gray van parked there.

A chill passes over the back of my neck…

The security room at the entrance was also dimly lit, revealing the crime prevention situation to be as shabby as the exterior of the apartment.

Are there people living there?

The gloom that can only be felt in an abandoned building gives me goosebumps.

This building is perfect for being attacked by bad guys.

“I live on the 9th floor, so I have to take the elevator.”

Eunha entered the dark apartment.

I have never looked back until now.

Like a guide guiding Mia, she walked past the main gate at a moderate pace, neither fast nor slow.

Palang…

and,

The moment the young man holding Eunha’s suitcase like a hostage entered the parking lot.

A piece of paper fell at my feet,

He stopped in his tracks.

A sheet of coated paper.

Did it turn over and fall? The pitch black letters written on the floor appear blurry.

There was nothing on the floor until just now.

Did it fall from the sky?

“…Aren’t you going to follow me? Then give me back my suitcase.”

A young man who was trying to pick up a piece of paper on the floor was startled out of his thoughts by a voice coming from afar.

For some reason, I raised my head, wiping my forehead that was covered in cold sweat. Eunha had already entered the building and was looking at the young man with a subtle expression.

Blink.

The entrance light turns on when motion is detected.

The setting sun peeks out from between the dark clouds, staining the parking lot dark red.

bright building,

Dark parking lot.

As if a boundary line had been drawn.

Beckoning you to enter the bright building in front of you,

An unknown attraction.

Come into the apartment, turn around and leave,

It seemed like he was giving me a choice.

“…….”

The young man, who was hesitant to enter the ‘Saetstar Apartment’, soon widened his eyes and approached Eunha with strides.

He was confident.

okay. Who am I?

Whose son is this?

There’s no way to be scared by an apartment like an abandoned building like this.

Everything is going well.

They even came to ‘Won-Aek’s’ apartment, and ‘Won-Aek’ also did not strongly refuse.

There is plenty of room for digging.

If you push a little harder,

If you use the ‘strange jigsaw’ used during the promotion test as an excuse to shake your mind,

Then it will be soon.

The beautiful woman in front of you becomes yours, your ‘pure’ blood is supplied to the association, you are promoted, promoted, praised, and praised by your father…

Everything will be fine.

‘okay. I am the main character.’

The young man swallowed his saliva and entered the ‘Saetbyul Apartment’.

… … .

… … .

… … Flash.

Flash. Flash.

After a while,

The parking lot where the young man left.

‘Saetstar Apartments’ seen from there.

Flash. Flash. Flash.

The light turns on.

Flash. Flash.

Lights come on in all houses except room 904.

Even the people living in room 101,

Even the person living in room 901,

Even the person living in room 1001.

I turn on the living room light and look out the window.

Vitality returns to the dark apartment.

Rustling…

A piece of paper fell on the floor of the car window.

The old security guard, who picked up the coated guidebook, leisurely looked back.

I look up at the harmonious apartment.

… … .

… … .

“Go in first.”

Saetbyeol Apartment, 1st floor.

Eunha, who was standing quietly in front of the elevator, smiled and gestured to the young man who followed her.

A young man boards the elevator without much suspicion.

There is only one elevator, so there is no need to worry.

“…This was the correct answer.”

“Huh? What?”

“There is such a thing. And please speak informally in moderation.”

Two people get on the only elevator and head to the 9th floor.

Meanwhile, the young man tried to talk non-stop, and most of them were about hunters… something that Eunha would be interested in.

“You said you were a D-class hunter, right? That’s good. My dad is a member of the Hunter Association. Why, do you know the [Galaxy Potion]? In a place called the potion dispensary…”

“If I tell my dad, I can easily pass the C-level exam…”

“I’ll buy you some equipment, so come to the [Rift Field] with me. Alright, decision~.”

Did it go up to the 7th floor?

Eunha, who had been quietly listening to the young man chatting, asked a question.

I clenched and unfolded my right hand as the elevator almost reached the 9th floor.

“But… do you know about the thugs who attacked me a few days ago?”

He seemed glad to have entered the apartment.

I look up at the young man with eyes that are noticeably more relaxed than before.

The safest apartment in the world.

‘Saetstar Apartment’ where Eunha lives.

“Bullies? Of course you know, they’re the ones who stupidly caused a commotion in Euncheon-gu… I heard you got hurt back then? I’m glad your pretty face wasn’t hurt.”

“…How did you kill the woman who ran away from there?”

Blink.

The elevator lights blinked.

… … .

( “help…” )

What Eunha reminds me of.

A woman leaning on a telephone pole near the blood donation house, endlessly pointing to the blood donation house.

The image of a woman with marks showing her hands and feet being tied, and her throat cut by something sharp.

Neither a monster nor a ghost,

Something half-baked.

“I tied my arms and legs and cut off my head. Was that necessary?”

The question may seem vague, but it hits the nail on the head because it describes a very accurate fact.

The young man scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment after being asked a completely unexpected question.

“Uh… who said that?”

Eunha sighed.

… … .

… … .

Boom!

Saetbyeol Apartment, 9th floor.

The moment the elevator opened, Eunha was kicked in the stomach by a young man and rolled around in the apartment hallway.

Ruk ruk…

The suitcase thrown together slides down the hallway.

Eunha collapsed in the cold hallway, clutching her stomach.

“……cough.”

“Who said it?”

The young man couldn’t understand.

Who said it?

Wasn’t it going better than that?

Soon it would be my turn to go to that woman’s house and have some private time.

“I’m so annoyed. I already got scared by the team leader because of the tied marks, so why are you being so damned? I wonder where they said he was killed in self-defense.”

“…….”

“Dad said it wouldn’t be a problem, so why do you know that?”

He brushes Eunha with the kind smile he gave just a moment ago.

As if if she answered honestly, she would return to the kind young man she was before.

“Damn there, damned here… I killed a villain and there’s a lot to talk about.”

“…….”

“If you think about it, it’s your fault. Even if you hadn’t jumped, I wouldn’t have killed that ugly bitch with my own hands.”

A young man approaches at a leisurely pace and looks down at the galaxy.

Eunha slowly got up and grabbed the carrier that had fallen next to her.

Suddenly…

Immediately after, mana spurted out from the young man’s body,

With a sharp cutting sound, the galaxy’s carrier is split in two.

Is it some kind of skill?

Patter… The crosses, prayer beads, and bundles of amulets that had been placed in the carrier were neatly cut and scattered in the hallway.

Fortunately, the titanium bat fixed to the pocket next to the carrier is in good condition with only a few scratches.

The young man grins at the sight of Eunha staring blankly at the cut-off carrier.

Look at the woman cowering in fear.

Although it was very different from the original plan, it became easier to handle.

I ended up using unplanned violence, but my father will do something about those [Rare Hunter Protection – Kill Division].

“That’s what happens if you don’t say anything? I don’t want to hurt someone like you. Let’s finish this quickly and do our thing.”

like that,

Thinking that it was really over, the young man’s hand reached out to Eunha…

Kaaang!!!

Eunha was hit on the head by a titanium bat she picked up.

… … .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Craddangtang!

A baseball bat made of titanium, which is much heavier than aluminum.

The young man was hit squarely on the head and rolled on the floor.

Blood is dripping from the young man’s nose, as if he was really hitting him with ‘body enhancement’.

“Ouch… Ugh…!”

Strong dizziness. My legs feel weak and I feel nauseous.

The brain, which had been hit directly by the hard titanium, is engulfed in confusion, while Eunha stands up and takes a deep breath.

Kang!

I swung lightly with the titanium bat and looked down at the young man sprawled on the floor.

With a cold face like Ban Harin.

With eyes that look at insignificant creatures.

“…I thought a lot until I got to the apartment.”

“Huh, huh…! Huh…!”

“What is the association doing with my blood? What is the [facility] the [Blue Dragon Energy] people were talking about? Who should I trust?”

Kyaang!

Eunha, using ‘Body Strengthening’, struck the young man’s shin as if playing golf.

A scream erupts from the exhilarating pain.

“Off… you crazy bitch…!”

But couldn’t she inflict fatal wounds on the hunter’s body with her strength?

A young man with bloodshot eyes from pain generated mana… and used a ‘skill’ towards the galaxy.

Suddenly…

Eunha’s right arm is cut off with an eerie sound.

Eunha’s face, with one of her arms cut off, is distorted in pain.

Blood spurts from a broken artery.

“But… I wondered what the use of it all was.”

Suddenly.

And, the galaxy.

Not caring about the blood flowing out, he held on to his severed right arm with his left hand.

The cut surfaces were joined.

1 second… 2 seconds… 5 seconds…

flinch…!

The right arm moves.

It stuck well.

Kyaang!

Eunha fixed the titanium bat and hit the young man on the thigh.

The young man at the blood donation center was frightened by the ridiculous scene that unfolded before his eyes.

“Anyway, if I don’t give blood, they will collapse on their own. Do we really need to step in and fight with the Hunter Association?”

“With people who freely use blood donated by others with good intentions and even kill people just because they are villains?… That’s unwise.”

“W-what did you just do!! What did you do!”

“I think it’s enough to just weed out the ants you can see.”

Drurrr!

Eunha muttered in a gentle voice like an old man and kicked the suitcase that had been broken in two by the young man’s skill.

The contents of the suitcase scattered and stopped in front of the young man’s eyes.

A cross cut in half, spare clothes, a bundle of amulets…

… … and,

A [black book] without a single flaw.

The young man’s eyes stare at the [Black Book].

Not cut out for his own skills,

I recognize a strange entity called the [Black Book].

“Still, I’m a hunter. I plan to keep your request for help.”

“B, you… what were you saying earlier…”

“I will be sad when I become lost.”

To the young man who somehow managed to get up while dragging his leg after being hit by the titanium bat,

Eunha said.

Coming out of the carrier,

Looking down at the soft dolls on the floor.

Blink.

At that moment, all the lights in the apartment blinked.

A bitter cold blankets the apartment, as if winter has arrived.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Soon, the sound of footsteps began to be heard from the stairs of the apartment.

Slow and slurred steps.

‘It’ stumbles up the stairs like a zombie.

The young man couldn’t understand.

What’s going on all of a sudden?

What is the suddenly cold weather, and what are the sounds of footsteps coming from the stairs?

What is that woman who moves her severed right arm so casually?

Why did this happen?

can not understand.

“You’ll have to kill me and hide before my friends come.”

Kyaang!

Eunha roughly wiped away the blood that flowed from her right arm and swung the titanium blade.
