Chapter 231 – Kang Seong-Ki, the Strongest Player in Korea (52)

“And Seonggi?”

Judging by the look on his face, Kang Ah-jin didn’t seem to know what was going on while we were clearing the dungeon.
Yoonmi Choi reported to me first, and she seemed to leave it up to me to inform the rest of the members.
Otherwise, Kang A-jin, who has good brains, would not have reacted like this.

I asked Kim Yeon-hwa for his understanding.

“Sorry. I have work, so I will go to Ah-jin’s house. I will try not to be too late.”
“If you have something to do, go. I’ll still be in the lab, so when you get back, come over there.”

Even though it was a somewhat embarrassing situation, Kim Yeon-hwa reacted coolly.
She didn’t just go home, and she felt it was a mistake to say ‘Ajin’s house’, but she didn’t seem to think much of it either.
In any case, she later felt the need to inform Kim Yeon-hwa that Kang Ah-jin’s house was serving as a kind of hideout.

“Shall we go?”
“Yeah…”

Kang Ah-jin seemed to be curious about the fact that I was going to accompany her.

I left her a message on her chat room as I went with her to the parking lot of her hotel.
I didn’t tell him specifically about Baek Sung-hoon, he just had some things to do, so she said he would go to her house with Kang Ah-jin.
The women only said to have a good trip, but did not show any reaction.

As she got into the car and headed toward Seoul, I said to Kang A-jin.

“I have something to tell Mr. Ajin.”
“Yes, please.”

As if Kang Ah-jin had expected her, she answered right away.

“Baek Seong-hun is dead.”
“Yeah?”

No matter how calm and calm Kang A-jin was, this news seemed to come as a shock.

I could feel that I was so surprised right next to me.

Well, Ajin Kang has a different side to her other members.
Do you always think about the whole picture and its solutions and strategies?
Of course, it is true that she followed the S-class dungeon raid in order to gain experience that she hadn’t had before, and it is true that she got great inspiration for witchcraft from it, but regardless of that, it seems that she kept thinking about Baek Sung-hun’s problem herself.

“I was surprised too. She must have died in her own house. That too in a miserable way.”
“Do you know who did it?”

Kang Ah-jin concluded that Baek Seong-hoon’s death at her home was murder.
She said that in fact she could only see it that way.
No matter how much she was pushed by me and prevented from enacting her own ambition, she would not have been disappointed enough to commit suicide.
Even when Jo Dong-geun was alive and well, she was holding on to him, but it didn’t look like she would have committed suicide because of me, who had only appeared for a month or so.

If he says he’s not the type to commit suicide, all you can say is that someone killed him.
Kang Ah-jin wondered who killed the S-class hunter, and that at his house.

“I must have been a soul mage.”
“Are you a soul mage?”

Kang Ah-jin was very surprised this time too.
It wasn’t as much as when she heard that Baek Sung-hun had died, but anyway, the appearance of an unexpected term made her shake again in a small way.

“Are you a hunter from abroad?”

It was already known that Baek Seong-hun was associated with a South American soul magician organization, so Kang Ah-jin naturally guessed that.

“No. He was a Korean spiritist. She’s a woman and she must be young.”
“Ah… Such…”

Kang Ah-jin, who looked ahead for a moment and thought, said.

“How could such a person have not been revealed until now? I’m not familiar with it, but they say that the soul mage ability has a special aspect. It is said that it is not necessary to awaken and demonstrate one’s abilities right away, but to realize and mature. If someone doesn’t discover it, it’s said that there are few cases where you realize and develop that ability yourself. You don’t know your potential and live only as a general awakener.”
“Okay…”

I didn’t know that.
She was aware that the soul mage class itself was rare and unique, but to the point where she couldn’t realize her own abilities.
It was a sudden thought, but I wondered if the South American soul mage organization’s active efforts to expand its presence were also aimed at finding potential soul mages distributed around the world.
If the ability is the kind of ability that creates synergy as the number increases, it could be enough.
They discovered a similar potential in Baek Seong-hoon and made a special connection with him, even carving a mun-sik on his head.

“It is said that Seonghun Baek inquired about the soul mage.”

I told him what I had heard so that Ajin Kang would no longer make his own assumptions.

“Ah…”

Kang A-jin nodded her head as if she understood.

“Looks like he was trying to find a soul mage and do something. Maybe you learned something from South America? If Baek Seong-hoon learned the ability to absorb souls, and that is the 4 things that can only be manifested with the help of a soul mage, I think it could be enough.”
“Yeah…”
“Perhaps Seonggi was concerned. If that was the case, it would have been quicker to seek help from foreign soul mages with whom he was acquainted, but was there another reason?”
“Maybe I didn’t like being too dependent? It was to the extent of getting her tattooed on her head, but I think she thought that if it was more than that, she would lose her self-initiative too much.”
“Or maybe I wasn’t as close to the foreign soul mage organization as I thought. I have a feeling that maybe I screwed up in trying to do something myself.”

Talking to Kang Ah-jin was also helpful.
Although she was newer than me when it comes to dungeon raids, she had a wide knowledge of other things, especially in the dark side.
But no matter how much we talked to each other, it couldn’t be perfect.
After all, I had to meet the person in person and talk to Louisa, the most knowledgeable of her members, and Valentina to get the right strand.

It was at the halfway point that Chi-Chi and Titi were picked up.
Knowing the circumstances, in order not to take up too much time on our side, they also moved to our side as much as possible.

There weren’t many people on the street, but Chi-Chi and Titi were catching the attention of those few people.
They were identical twins who were identical to each other, and since they were such great beauties, there was no way they could not help but gather their eyes.
Beyond that, they have an aura that is hard to imitate.
Even though he had a public-friendly image to the extent that he was a popular YouTuber before his awakening, he had lived a brutal life in the shadows for several years.
I have never seen what they do in Thailand, but at least the way they deal with Kang Man-cheol had a side that made my flesh tremble.
When I think of Kang Man-cheol, who is still out of breath and suffering in faraway Thailand…
I’m not very sympathetic, though.

Looking at Chichi and Titi standing on the side of the road through the windshield, I felt like a foreign model.
Aside from being a hunter, it was absolutely not an aura that ordinary people could emit.
Even if you’re Asian and don’t look much different from Koreans, what should I say?
Chichi and TT exuded a unique exotic atmosphere that did not mix with Korean air.

Looking at it objectively, it doesn’t sound scary.
Do you think it looks more poisonous than before?

It could be because I know everything they went through in Korea, but the atmosphere has definitely changed from when I first met them.
Now, it was impossible to guess that he was a person with the terrifying ability of a poisoner, and that he was the head of an assassination organization that dominated the underworld.

It may not have been just a feeling.
Because I had sex with them.
I exchanged mana with them and infused the mana I had to make them grow.
That there must have been a fundamental change within them.

It was a common and natural thing for mana to change people.
Even if they were alone, they were YouTubers before becoming poisoners.
At that time, it is clear that he lived a life completely free from crime.
If he had awakened as a normal hunter rather than a poison magician, of course he would not have drifted into the dark.

Anyway, at least by my standards, they were absolutely nothing to be feared.
Rather, it was very nice to see you after a long time.

“Hello.”
“I’m home.”

They spit out fluent Korean and got into the car.

“It’s been a while.”

When I turned my head and said hello, I was startled with the same look as if I had promised.
The two or three centimeters of the hips were the same astonished twin sisters, as if they were filmed.
Both of their faces turned red and their lips pursed.
However, there was a slight difference in the attitudes they showed after that. Instead of Titi, her younger sister, lowering her head, Chi-Chi stared blankly at my face like a still screen.

“Why? I’m not happy?”
“Oh no! It can’t be!”

Chichi shook both hands and stubbornly denied it.
She didn’t say anything, but Titi also raised her head and put on an unfair expression.

“Haha. I was kidding.”

After a moment of silence, I thought I heard a voice, so I asked Titi.

“Yeah? What did you just say?”

Titi hesitated and repeated what she had just said in a slightly louder voice than before.

“I missed you…”
