486. Abduction 2
“You walked into the hideout on your own?”
“What is this again?”
As long as Liwen headed to the polluted area, he naturally thought he would be in the hideout of the Underworld.
Because they won’t just leave the stupid citizens of Azul continent wandering around the polluted area alone.
“I don’t know how the hell he came to know about it, but he... came into the guild hideout, so I caught him and locked him up.”
However, I never imagined that I would not have been taken to the hideout, but instead headed toward it on my own feet.
“Is he stupid? Why do you go in there?”
“I tried to wipe it all out with the power I received from Shin Yu-jun, but it seems it wasn’t enough.”
“Then you are really stupid.”
Jiah Lee thought of Liwen with a puzzled face.
Originally, I thought he was a pathetic branch manager, but he felt even more pathetic.
“Well, whether the branch manager Li Wen went on his own or was dragged away, it doesn’t matter anyway, the important thing is that he found the location.”
After listening to the story and organizing his thoughts for a while, Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth while touching his chin.
“So where exactly is that ‘crack’ in the swamp?”
“It’s in the backyard leading to the back door of the hideout.”
“Eh? Why is there such a thing in the backyard of the hideout? Isn’t there a problem with feng shui?”
“...That’s right, the reason for building a new hideout in the contaminated area is to hide the cracks and prevent information leaks.”
When Kim Ho-jung asked with a surprised face, the guild members answered in a tone of asking, “Why are you asking such an obvious question?”
With a face that didn’t know you would ask such a question.
“Then, to access the rift, you will have no choice but to enter the guild hideout, whether you like it or not.”
“That’s how it is.”
Naturally, information on the crack approach is also obtained.
All that remains now is to visit the rift and check it out.
“Now is it? All I know is this! As you said, I’m at the bottom, so even if I want to tell you more, I have nothing to say...” ”
Then, finally, tell me about the TOP 10 in the Underworld.”
It’s a low end anyway, so there won’t be much information to expect, but it’s not difficult to figure out who he is just by finding out his nickname or the weapon he uses.
“I don’t know about that guy, as I’ve only met him once... but he must be called ‘Blue Screen’ in the world.”
“Oh, was that him?”
Hearing the word blue screen, Kang Seung-hyun nodded as if he knew something about it.
“Blue screen? It is a very unusual job.”
“Bluescreen isn’t a job, it’s a concept that he writes.”
Just as Shin Yoo-jun is famous for his tailor’s ‘Silk’ rather than his real name, most of the TOP 10 are often remembered by their nicknames or occupations rather than their names.
There are a lot of crazy people who are crazy about the concept, and there are also some that are not ranked, so aren’t they enough to remember the names yet? Because it was the atmosphere.
So, among the TOP 10, the only person who is called by his real name without a nickname is Baek Seon-ho, the strongest dimension mover, Sword Master.
“Once again, Professor Kang’s personal connections are amazing. My friend is number one in the rankings.”
“Come to think of it, Choi Yi-han was also one of the TOP 10, right? He’s your friend too... He must be a weird guy.”
“There are all those rude things. Of course, he’s a weird guy.”
“...”
Lee Ji-ah stared at Kang Seung-hyun, and Kang Seung-hyun looked at Lee Ji-ah with a face asking what she was looking at.
“Ah, Mr. Kang, so what are you doing with the blue screen?”
“Blue screen? Maybe it was the chain master? Beating and tying up with a chain... It must be a job that uses skills like that.”
“Glcuna. But why is it called a blue screen?”
“Think about it yourself.”
“to. When you say blue screen, isn’t it the one that appears on the screen when a computer malfunctions? Why is that a nickname?”
“Are you mad if you get hit?”
“to.”
Kim Ho-jung thought about it with a blank face, but nothing came to mind.
“Now there’s more to hear...”
Kang Seung-hyeon, who finished the story, looked around lightly.
I could see the nervous eyes of the guild members shaking wildly.
“I don’t know any more. Really!”
“We’ve told you everything we know!”
“I guess so. That was enough.”
“Then will you save me?”
“Most important of all...”
Alec continued with a smirk, his hands in his pockets.
“Couldn’t that mean Liwen came to the Underworld hideout on his own?”
“Definitely important. That incompetent crappy garbage parachute branch manager crawled all the way here.”
In the first place, it was impossible for Liwen to pass through the contaminated area with her own power.
Because he was an idiot who couldn’t even go to the Veloto Mountains by himself.
“The delphinidin dopers I have met so far have only been able to handle a stat called divine power that I have not been able to use, but they have not developed skills that I did not have.”
However, according to the words of the underworld henchmen, Liwen reached the hideout of the Black Water Swamp on her own feet.
In other words, it means that he has not only been able to use divine power, but also has the ability to walk around the contaminated area alone.
“Could Liwen be ‘hiding’ her powers all this time?”
“I will.”
“The branch manager hid his power.”
“Why is the branch manager hiding his power?”
“Rather than that, it would be more correct to think that Shin Yu-jun endowed Li Wen with some special power.”
“I think that’s right too.”
The first place Liwen, who gained strength, headed to was the hideout of the Underworld.
Li Wen would not have known that there was an Underworld there, but the fact that he visited the hideout means that Shin Yu-jun told him about it.
“And inside the hideout, where Branch Manager Liwen confidently crawled in...”
“The ‘Crack of Tehes’ discovered by the Underworld is hidden.”
At this point, Kim Ho-jung will know.
Shin Yu-jun did not give Liwen strength without thinking, but gave him strength for a purpose and sent him to the western polluted area Tehes.
And that the purpose is related to the rift with a high probability.
“Could that bastard be aiming for the bowl too?”
“For now, it’s highly likely, but it’s a bit odd.”
“It’s okay because he’s a weird guy.”
“Since Mr. Alec speaks, he sounds like a really weird guy.”
“Because he’s a really weird guy.”
Seunghyun Kang ignored Alec and continued talking.
“If Shin Yoo-jun knew about bowls, he would also know that they are not ordinary objects.”
But sending Liwen or the like on a mission to retrieve such an important thing?
With Kang Seung-hyun’s common sense, I couldn’t understand it at all.
“It’s not just aiming for bowls, it seems to have a different purpose.”
“What is the purpose of that child in the first place?”
“I don’t know. Making enemies everywhere you go?”
“It’s another one.”
Unlike Baek Seon-ho, who wants to kill the manager, and Kim Se-hyeong, who wants to save the manager and return to Earth, Shin Yoo-jun’s purpose is still unknown.
Nevertheless, the power is the biggest and the work they do is a dead end that is comparable to Baek Seon-ho.
“I don’t know what the purpose is, but as long as this Mr. Alec finds out, he will gently ruin it. There is no particular reason.”
“There is nothing more exciting than ruining someone else’s plans for no reason.”
“Trying to stop a bad guy with such an impure intention is also a skill.”
Whatever it is, if Li Wen’s disappearance is part of Shin Yu-jun’s plan, it’s better to ruin it than to watch it quietly.
“Then let’s go! To their hideout!”
“Loser!”
“It’s not over there either. A guild ruined by five people.”
After a brief chat and a break, the Yame Party got up with a stretch.
“huh? What are you doing when Mr. Kang isn’t coming?”
“Come soon.”
At that time, Kim Ho-jeong saw that Kang Seung-hyun was drinking a potion without leaving.
However, it was not a stamina potion that I usually drink, but a potion of a strange color that I had never seen before.
“What is that?”
“This one? A gift to Blue Screen.”
“gift? Are you drinking a present?”
“Because he’s a bit special.”
Seunghyun Kang broke the empty bottle and said.
“Let’s call it... the Trojan Horse.”
