Chapter 161

Episode 161

“Heh, heck, heh.”

The man stumbled aimlessly. His bloodied feet acted like he was about to collapse at any moment, but he seemed unwilling to stop.

A thick stream of blood and saliva that flowed down the hazy consciousness and the wide open mouth of the eyes that seemed to close at any moment.

“100 million!”

After running like a zombie for a long time, the moment something caught on the man’s foot, the man’s body began to roll on the floor.

Left alone on a dark street where not even a handful of light comes in, the stench and dirty debris around him are full.

“Damn me.”

The man who fell to the floor did not get up for a while as if he had died. He didn’t look much different from a corpse until a screeching sputum escaped from his mouth.

Wang Yo-wei. A man who acted as the ark of Wiryongbang (威龍方) and the leader of the call for action.

It wasn’t just because he was being chased by someone that he was roaming the high-rise slums of Narc, which were like anthills.

Safe House.

A small shelter where he could be free from pursuit was located not too far away.

“Kaak...!”

Wang Yo-wei, who was spread out on the floor, screamed and wriggled, and several rats that passed by him quickly disappeared.

I asked because I thought it was a corpse, but it was because I was still alive.

Even though the muddy floor was all over the body, and the bite of a rat of unknown germs was sure to lead to infection right away.

Ironically, it was thanks to the pain from being bitten by the rat that Wang Yo-wi, who had been gasping for breath at any moment, was able to regain his hazy consciousness.

“...!”

Eventually, through the alleys enveloped in darkness, a wisp of unfamiliar airflow began to harden the body of Wang Yo-wi, who had been stomping on the floor of Sumija, as if it had been subjected to petrification magic.

It was a bonus that his eyes suddenly opened up as if he had seen a ghost.

‘Already... this far...’

Sweep!

As the air in the back alley froze, Wang Yao-wei moved. He seemed to be possessed by a ghost as he hurried his steps while being showered with wastewater flowing from somewhere.

The reason why he has been able to survive even though he has become close to a disabled person.

The reason why he didn’t bother to log out even though he was able to use the gap to close the connection.

That’s obviously partly due to his natural risk-awareness and unique class, but it’s also partly because he has reasons not to log out.

This was the reason why he resided in this Narc, which could be said to be in the middle of the enemy camp.

Of course, not too long ago, this high-rise slum city was their base rather than the middle of enemy camps, but that has already become a thing of the past.

It goes without saying that since his leader, Cheng Bing, was purged by Jiang Wei, the leader of the Kirin Society and the one dragon, the Wei Long Bang and its predecessor, the Blue Dragon Society, were dismembered without a trace.

It was for that reason that he had no choice but to risk his life and move as he does now.

– found.

“...!”

Beep Beep!

A sharp sound echoed along with an unfamiliar voice, and Wang Yao-wei suddenly threw himself. A faint arrow trail passed over his body.

The overall size is only 20 cm, so it is a small size arrow reminiscent of a baby arrow or quarrell.

However, what sets the arrow apart from baby arrows and quarrels is that it is cut at an oblique angle like that of a bamboo spear without a separate arrowhead.

And the fact that the wind passes through the middle of the diagonally cut arrow, and it takes on the nature of a signal flare, like a bird chirping.

“Huh...!”

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

As the words of the leader of the chase resonated in his ears like a whisper, Wang Yo-wi’s body trembled slightly.

It was because I instinctively understood what he was saying.

However, it is not an exaggeration to say that the fact that he has endured in such a pitiful state until now is also possible because there was something he could not give up even at the risk of his own life.

“If you are thinking of something else, it would be better to quit right away. Now, there is no one left in Narc who can protect you anymore...?”

Perseok!

Eventually, before the leader of the chase had even finished speaking, his legs sank completely, and a bewildered light appeared in his eyes, and the whites of his eyes began to show in rare cases.

It was because the interrogation subject, who had been restraining himself by crushing his bones just a few seconds ago, turned into a handful of ashes and disappeared as if it had never happened.

“...It’s starting again.”

Kwajik!

As Wang Yo-wi, who had been at his feet, disappeared without a trace, the leader of the pursuit shrieked in a trembling voice.

It didn’t seem like the first time.

The reason Wang Yo-wi was able to survive by avoiding the eyes of the hunter-class chasers.

That’s why he was able to escape from the clutches of the Kirin Society that occupied Narc.

It was because Wang Yao-wi’s class was a class that could handle shadows, and at the same time, it could use its own shadows to constantly produce alter egos that were more real than real ones.

It was not a problem that the more they were divided, the more their actual fighting power converged to zero.

After all, the Kirin Association was overflowing with talented people who could surpass him, and Wang Yo-wi also considered surviving as the top priority rather than cutting down the Kirin Association’s strength.

Just...

“Report on the situation.”

“I can’t feel any presence around me.”

“Zero mana response trace.”

“Somehow... I seem to have missed it.”

As the current chase members reported to him, Wang Yo-wei’s skill does not respond to all kinds of presence detection and mana response tracking.

It was difficult for the pursuit team, which had been working hard for a long time to pursue Narc in all directions, to catch his tail again.

In short, it was like going back to square one.

“Withdraw.”

“...older brother?”

“Sooner or later, a magic circle will be deployed throughout the city. By then, you’ll be able to pick up on anything that moves, even if it’s not detected by your mana response. There’s no need to be in a hurry right now. The reason why he couldn’t get out of Narc was because it was difficult to steal things hastily. So...”

When that time comes, all we have to do is pay back a thousand times the amount of the humiliation we suffered.

The fate of Wang Yo-wi will also come to an end on that day when the city’s huge pupils, which even a ghost cannot escape from, open their eyes.

Eventually, after the words of the leader of the chase, the traces of the figures in the back alley began to disappear in a small dot in an instant.

“......omg.”

As the silence settled down in the back alley where no light came in, an unfamiliar sound resounded.

It was as if he was taking his last breath before dying.

However, the moment when a male figure emerged from the shadow of the outer wall, and it soon materialized and flowed down to the floor.

“Heh heck heck!”

Soon after, Wang Yo-wei, who had been thought dead, appeared on the floor of a back alley and began to breathe urgently like a diver who had finished diving from the depths.

< Shadow Dive >.

It was a kind of great law to hide in the shadow he designated for a certain period of time.
