49 Daddy's too strong. Episode 48.

Dojun pulled on the strap of a well-wrapped wrapper.

The knot was loosened and the wrapping paper with the question mark was torn smoothly.

The contents of the package contained achromatic circular sphere, with Dojun's palm holding the sphere and a message appearing.

[Open Artifact?]]

[Insert the mana required for opening Artifact. Don't need : 5]

Danjeon's inner workings permeated the unidentified artifact on Dojun's fingertips.

Artifact did not accept it even though it infused a very small amount of internal space.

The remaining inner workings go back to the Danjeon, riding on Dojun's fingertips.

[ Artifacts begin to shine! ]

The sphere glowed softly in red.

Seol Yoon-hee's face brightened as she saw it.

"It's not a bummer."

"Good thing."

The light emitted from the sphere.

Red to orange.

It changed from orange to yellow.

[Artifact begins to glow brightly.]

As soon as another message appears in front of you.

The color of the light kept changing.

The colors changed from yellow to green, blue, navy, and purple.

And that moment.

There was a loud bang as the current bounced from the sphere.

Kagak,

Kagagagagakagakagakak!

[Found a relic of the heart!]

Pong!

With a loud noise, the splashing current went silent.

The anchromatic sphere turned into a book and fell on the table.

Seol Yoon-hee leaned forward and murmured while looking closely at the book.

"......it's a book?"

a dusty old book

Dojun picked up the book and checked the options.

[Interpreter Ataraxia]

Classification: miscellaneous goods/subsidies

Touch the magnifying glass button on the blank page to point to the target, and the information on that target is contained on the page.(Central only) The higher the completeness, the higher the anti-horsepower.

Yongyong, who was watching Dojun with interest.

He kicked his tongue, rolled around, rolled to the right and picked up the remote.

And I turned on the TV to increase the power button.

"You're not going to eat."

"You're not going to eat.

Dojun and Yongyong muttered at the same time.

The eyes of each other crossed.

And Dojun giggles.

"You don't miss your expectations."

"Well... ...I'm getting goosebumps at this point.

Yong-yong flinched and fell a little further from Do-jun.

Dojun flipped the book around and murmured.

"A relic of the heart...…"

Suddenly

Dojun showed up in a practice crack.

I remembered what Nerges had said.

Aren't you also a great dragon, born in the central part of the world?

"You said you were born in the heart, right?"

"Yes?"

"I think Nerges said that."

Yong-yong cooked and picked up the apple with his front paws and mumbled it in his mouth.

I don't know.

Dojun's gaze sank cold.

Yong-yong looked pale and swallowed the apple he was eating in a hurry.

"Gee, that's for real! I really don't remember!

Dojun looked at Karsiel this time.

Karsiel shook his head, closing his eyes.

"I don't know much about the heart either. I know for sure that our dragon was born in the center, but I don't remember the place. When I woke up, I was only in the nest.

"Yoon-hee, do you know anything? of the rank of relics of the world of the mind"

When asked, Seol shook her head as if she didn't know.

Generally, the grade of artifacts started with the lowest grade F.

The highest known rating is S.

I have never heard of the word Simgye or the word Relics.

"I've never heard of such a grade."

"I'm sure it has something to do with the core."

"Oh, the center is where the Behimos Guild is attacking?"

Dojun nodded.

'Let's keep it for now.'

An artifact that tells you about the central information.

I don't mean to do that right now.

If there's anything to go into the center.

Maybe it can be useful.

20th floor, Hunter's management director's office.

"Without that, I'll finish reporting."

chi yi yi yi yi yi.

Director Chung Young-chul rubbed the cigarette he was smoking in the ashtray and turned it off.

Then the last page of the report submitted by the test was checked once again.

500 meters below the ground in the center.

According to Lee Kang-hyun, it is called the entrance to the center.

"You need admission...…"

by the way

I've searched the whole central entrance.

I could not get a ticket anywhere else.

That's what the report said.

Jung Young-chul once again read the report slowly from the first page, holding on to the tingling forehead.

A total of 21 dives (Dive) were performed in three years.

The estimated progress is only 1.4 percent.

It was okay, though.

Though progress was being made little by little.

But now.

Hunter Administration faced a big wall.

The operation to attack the central part of the country, which had been prepared for two years since five years ago, was about to end.

"Whoo."

With a long sigh, Chung Young-chul turned his chair back, looking around the night view of Seoul over a transparent full-body window.

For the past decade, it has been running for a moment without a break since the crack began.

He had both good money and honor, but there was something else that made Jung's blood boil.

the exploration of unknowns

The first crack was born.

The series of processes in which people wake up and get items from monsters.

At that time, he was a military general, and he made his blood boil.

I found my second life by working in Hunter's job.

Every day was hard, but it was so rewarding and enjoyable.

Especially, a huge hole appeared in Sodaesan Mountain, Gangwon-do.

When I found the core, my heart was pounding like a child.

"Somehow it's all my greed. My desire is driving talent to death."

".........."

"Kang Hyun Ah."

"Yes, sir."

"Let's get out of the center for the time being."

Lee Kang-hyun, who had mixed feelings.

I turned my eyes to the file that was on the director's desk.

"......a reserve member of the air force?"

Lee Kang-hyun handed over the cover, citing the file file.

Then some familiar names stood out.

especially

Lee Do-jun.

"I had a hard time casting Ranker in China. I left the country now and went back home."

Jung Young-chul takes out a new cigarette and bites it.

I made a fire.

"The shepherd. No. 10 Hunter, the master of the law."

"Yes, they said they planned to stay in Korea for a long time. His pride was hurt and he went back to his own country."

"You hurt your self-esteem?"

Jung Young-chul turned the chair again and looked at Lee Kang-hyun.

While you were away, there was an S-class rift on Mount Umyeon in Seocho-gu. If you've seen the news, you'll know."

"No, I've never heard of this."

Lee Kang-hyun showed a slightly surprised reaction.

It has been less than two days since he returned from the center.

And I took a break from the Meditation Capsule to get back in shape.

Of course I didn't have time to listen to the news.

Tuk tuk.

Jung Young-chul gave it to Lee Kang-hyun by clicking on an Internet article on his smartphone.

Lee Kang-hyun, who received the smartphone, read the article.

And the growing eyes.

S-class Crack Operation Team, all survivors...thanks to the command of the commander-in-chief of...

The commander-in-chief is an official at the Seoul City Hall.

fill the void in the inspection

"Power survival?"

Lee Kang-hyun looked up at Jung Young-chul.

The average birth rate of the S-class cataclysm is 68 percent.

If 10 people are deployed, an average of three people are either dead or isolated and cannot return.

But not 70 percent, not 80 percent.

a 100 per cent rate of exchange

It didn't make sense.

"I watched it with an emergency cam. It's a flashlight. As the operation went on, order was established and all the hunters acted like chess under Lee Do-joon's direction. As you can see, the results are in the article."

"Is that a possible story?"

Obviously Lee Do-joon was special.

Nothing came up at the time of the provisional measurement.

At first glance, his skeleton was born as a hunter.

Because I felt an unknown sense of pressure from him.

But in the end, ordinary people are ordinary people.

Class A hunters are also killed by a single mistake.

The odds of ordinary people surviving were close to zero percent.

"I told you earlier that the shepherd hurt his pride and went home, didn'"

"......yeah."

"That day. I gathered the reserve members of the central attack squad and explained about the center. In the process, the shepherd started a quarrel with Lee Do-joon. Lee didn't avoid it and hit back."

"Did you hit back?"

Jung Young-chul nodded.

"I had a confrontation. And the shepherd never once."

"I couldn't catch Do-joon."

"......Director, the shepherd is a Chinese Ranker Hunter."

"Yes. I wouldn't have believed you."

Jung Young-chul is not a man to lie about this kind of this.

Therefore, doubts grew in Lee Kang-hyun's mind.

What on earth is Lee Do-joon's identity?

"The article says that the Boss Monster was killed by four S-class hunters. It's not really that. Later, I got a report from Kang Min-hyuk that only five people could enter the boss zone.More. The rest of us are forced out of the cracks."

".........."

"You can expect who the other one is, right?"

"Are you saying that Dojun killed Boss Monster? You mean, the boss of the S-class?"

"Yes, that too, alone."

A man who can kill a boss of class S by himself.

It was one of the few things in Korea.

Yes. Only three people, including myself, were capable of solo kills.

If what Jung Young-chul said is true.

Lee Do-jun means that he is on par with or above the original Hunter.

"Well, we're late today, so we'll talk about the details tomorrow. I still have work to do."

I had a lot of questions.

Lee Kang-hyun said, 'Yes. All right,' he said with a short answer and lowered his head.

I came out of the director's office.

After a while.

Jung opened the file and looked at Lee's profile."

"... ...killed myself."

The boss monster with a figure of 5,800.

7:40 in the morning.

In front of the elevator in the main building of Hunter Management.

Dojun had a red pocket in one hand.

It was a pocket of tickets that allowed them to enter the central tutorial zone.

I forgot to give it to you yesterday.'

Hunter Management was operating a high-speed elevator as it reached the 80th floor, but it quickly came down to the first floor in less than 10 seconds.

Thing.

On board the elevator, Dojun pressed the 20th floor.

It takes only five seconds to get to the first floor and 20th floor.

Suddenly, Dojun imagined what it would have been like to have an elevator like this in his house.

Get off the 20th floor and stand in front of the door with the sign.

knock, knock

Dojun, knock.

The door is open.

I could see a man in his late 30s.

Dojun noticed that he was an aide who had been to his house last time.

When the aide saw Do-joon, he opened his eyes wide as if surprised.

bowed one's bows

"Hey, what brings you here at this hour?"

"Is the director there?"

The aide shook his head.

"The director goes to work around 8:50."

"Then could you pass this on?"

"...this?"

"You'll find out when I give it to you."

"Yes. I see. I'll deliver it to you when you get to work."

"Thank you. Have a good day."

Dojun smiled briefly and went back to the elevator.

'Now they're on their own.'
