Chapter 105 – 105. The Day I Want to Run Away

What is a smart-looking ghoul?

First, I put on my clothes. As if defending oneself. Also, unlike zombie eyes full of cataracts, the eyes shine like living creatures. Eyes that convey intelligence.

Plus, it would be perfect if you had a decent weapon. That guy is a special ghoul, that is, a highly intelligent ghoul.

Considering that he has three stupid ghouls that seem to be his subordinates, he can be seen as the leader of the tollgate zombies.

Even its size is much larger than that of other ghouls. At that point, wouldn’t it be good to evaluate them as a new human being? No, maybe it’s really a new human race.

“Everyone, listen carefully. That guy is smart enough, but not as smart as a human. So, the three of you slowly step back and increase the distance.”

If it’s Kang Ji-yeon, she’ll do one serving, but her parents aren’t at the point where they can catch a ghoul yet. So it’s better to just leave the three behind.

“Come out.”

Even if those three people don’t help me, I still have seven dark spirits.

“Tick, tick, tick!!”

“Tick!!!”

The skeletal spirits, who had a taste for zombie hunting, clicked their teeth and raised their fighting spirit. The blunt Blood Demon and Song Jang, who looked tired all the time, also relaxed after seeing the zombies and ghouls in front of them.

Honestly, there are seven people who don’t mind getting bitten by zombies, so what’s there to be afraid of when there are seven people blocking my way?

I just need to worry about whether a long-distance attack is made or whether the high-intelligence ghoul has already eaten the awakened person and gained some skill.

Still, in case Kang Ji-yeon and her parents were at risk of escaping, he told the skeleton spirit, which possesses stamina, to keep an eye on the three people’s movements.

‘Then… ‘

First, I need to check what skills that high-intelligence ghoul has. This is because if you have Predatory Predation, you may have a pretty good skill.

[Highly intelligent (-)]

[Effect: If a being with low intelligence possesses it, its intelligence increases and it becomes an intelligent being.]

[Handicap: Increased desire for exploration and curiosity. You become aware of fear and fear.]

[Penalty: As worries increase, instinct, sixth sense, and wildness become weaker.]

[Predation, Predation (-)]

[Effect: Eats the dead target’s brain and absorbs knowledge, some memories, and abilities.]

[Handicap: You can only loot up to 2 abilities. Looted abilities can be replaced.]

[Penalty: If you take out too much brain and eat it, memories may become mixed up and the brain may malfunction.]

Up to this point, these were the skills that high-intelligence zombies originally had. With this, it has been proven that all Ghoul unique entities have high intelligence and predatory predators.

So now the real problem is the skills that the awakened people had…

[Ability Insight (C)]

[Effect: You can detect the skills possessed by the target.]

[Handicap: In order to use the ability, the target must be aware of the ability user and must be made to have negative emotions such as discomfort, fear, and hostility.]

[Gale (A)]

[Effect: Surrounds the body with wind and increases speed.]

[Penalty: You may get cut by the wind and get hurt.]

“Seeing ability..?”

One of the two skills that can be absorbed through Predation and Predation was ability insight.

That means that guy is watching my skills now. For some reason, he was standing still. That guy was figuring out our skills right now.

‘So you stood on the roof of the toll booth so that everyone could see you…!’

This can’t be helped. You have to shoot right away…

“Hey, human!!”

“Huh?”

Then suddenly a ghoul called me.

High-intelligence ghouls can eat the brains of hunted creatures through the Predation and Predation skill and absorb some knowledge, memories, and skills.

Therefore, it is not strange to use human language. It means that I have met enough Koreans to be able to speak Korean.

Anyway, he shouted at me, looking like he was in a hurry.

“You can pass by..!!!”

The tone was as if he was asking us to leave quickly because he would open the way. I couldn’t help but laugh at that sight.

Even before he even fought, he knew he was going to lose.

Yes, that bastard was scared when he saw my skills.

In addition to the enormous number of skills, more than a dozen, the summoned dark spirits also seemed to be frightened as they had skills.

It is said that one becomes aware of fear and panic due to the handicap of a high-intelligence mind. It was real.

First, I have to answer what that guy says.

“I don’t like it!”

“…!?”

“Give me your skills.”

As soon as I said that, the ghoul jumped backwards and started running away.

“Hey, me! Fuck!!!”

Honestly, this is an unexpected situation. No matter how intelligent he was, I didn’t know that he could do everything.

‘I never thought ghouls would run away when they see people…’

Yes, a normal ghoul wouldn’t do something like that, but… That guy is a ghoul mutant. Its intelligence had even increased as it had eaten quite a few survivors.

Perhaps that’s why, as a ghoul with a sharp mind, I chose to run away without being greedy with my skills.

It is quick judgment of the situation and decision-making ability.

“Fuck..!! You guys deal with those bastards!!!”

I decided to track down the guy who was running away, leaving the three regular ghouls and the stupid zombies that were subordinates of the ghoul mutant to the dark spirits.

I can’t just let it go like this. If you leave a ghoul with that much intelligence alive, you might face a big disaster later. For example, creating an army of ghouls to hunt survivors, or creating a human farm…

It is better for everyone to catch and kill it quickly. If you travel at high speeds, you’ll probably be able to keep up with his flurry.

“Oh, oppa!!!”

“Wait!!! No, stay hidden!! “I’ll be back soon!”

After roughly answering Kang Ji-yeon’s voice calling me from behind, I picked up my pistol and followed his traces. The zombies reached out to me, but I am not one to be caught by their slow hands.

-Whoops!!!

“Wooooo!!!”

“Get out of the way!!!”

I passed by the toll gate by slashing the heads of the slow, bursting zombies that were crying insincerely with the knife I held in my right hand.

“What the fuck..!”

In the distance, you can see the back of a ghoul frantically running away through a stopped vehicle. Perhaps because of its large size, it was noticeable even from a distance.

He and I know each other’s skills. So it was clear that he would run away until I couldn’t chase him.

He must be aware of my presence detection, so he must understand very well that hiding is useless.

‘It’s not a distance you can hit with a gun..’

If he hides behind a car, the gunshot will ring out for no reason and he won’t be hit. There is too much cover.

Moreover, my shooting skills, as is well known, are very poor.

Unlike what is shown in movies and media, it is really fucking difficult to hit something from this distance.

At close range, if you just fire wildly, you’ll be roughly hit and die, but at this distance, you have to stop, aim, and shoot… But that’s not possible.

There were quite a few zombies approaching, and when I tried to aim and shoot them, I couldn’t get the right angle. That guy has figured out that I have a gun and is running away using cars parked on the side of the road as shields.

‘It’s so damn fast… !’

Looking at its rippling back, it appears that it is using a gale and running away at incredible speeds. That seems to be a bit faster than the high-speed movement I have.

At least I have high-speed movement, so I don’t miss out, but will I be able to catch that bastard before my stamina runs out?

‘Ability seal..’

As soon as possible, I glared at the back of the guy’s head and used the ability seal. Then, I internally cheered as I saw the speed drop significantly compared to before.

I should have written it right away. There are so many skills that I forget some and just pass by.

Anyway, at that speed, I should be able to catch up with my high-speed movement.

Haha.. Haha..!! Don’t come!!!!”

“There!!!”

In the end, I was able to follow him to a distance where I could communicate with him.

Then, the ghoul jumped over the highway fence and jumped into the field next to the road and rolled around.

It was very ugly, covered in dirt and mud, but it showed a desperate desire to live. The people who were eaten by that bastard must have been like that too.

“Huh..”

“Whoa.. Whoo…”

“Now, wait a minute…”

Before he could say anything, I took out my gun and fired at him.

At this distance, if there is no cover in between, you can hit it without fail.

-Two da da da!!!!

Of the six bullets fired, three passed through his chest, shoulder, and stomach. I also couldn’t get my head right. I really can’t shoot a gun…

Anyway, the ghoul fell backwards as soon as a bullet hit its upper body

Yellow, dead blood poured out from its body his his his his. It looks like it’s not completely dead yet.

“Oh…No…”

Kwasik-!!!

The ghoul’s head was cut open. There’s no need to talk. He’s a monster, and I’m a hunter, so it’s only natural that I kill him without mercy.

Still, I didn’t expect him to run away, so I put in more effort than I thought.

Tired. I want to sit down and rest for a while. At that moment, a notification popped up asking if I was going to get a skill. I can’t rest.

“What should I get…”

You can obtain a highly intelligent body and turn Saeyeon’s black snake into an intelligent body. Alternatively, a good method would be to obtain a predator and give it to the blood demon and then have it eat the brain.

You can learn skills by eating the brain, so all you have to do is make the blood demon eat the ghoul’s brain. Then you can get a total of 3 skills.

‘But then I can’t get the skill… ‘

That’s a bit disappointing, but in terms of efficiency, strengthening the blood demon can extract more skills from the ghoul’s corpse… So this seems like a better choice.

Yes, all you have to do is obtain the Predatory Plunder and give it back to the Blood Demon, and the Blood Demon eats this ghoul’s brain to learn the Abilities of Perception and Flurry. That seems like the best thing for now.

Since the blood demon is my dark spirit anyway, it must absolutely obey my commands. Strengthening my blood demons is also a way for me to become stronger in the end.

‘First of all… ‘

I completely cut off the head of the dead ghoul, put it in my inventory, and headed back toward the toll gate.

It’s time to order a blood demon in female form to eat a ghoul’s brain.
