Chapter 2243 – 2243. Rezo

The man stared at Miryeong’s technique for a while and then spoke with admiration.

“It’s traditional magic. It’s neat. If nothing else, magic deployment is one of the best skills in Korea. “I will admit that you are better at deploying magic than I am.”

“No, it’s not magic, it’s a sorcery!”

Miryeong lifted the spell and corrected it. There was irritation in his voice. The man didn’t even bat an eye.

“Jutsu, Taoism, witchcraft, onmyojitsu… It is true that when you delve into magic, it is divided into different types, but in modern times, the phenomenon caused by artificially manipulating mana is collectively referred to as magic. In other words, your technique is also magic.”

“According to that logic, I’m also a wizard who doesn’t know anything about magic?”

“Yes. “You are an excellent wizard.”

Mi-ryeong looked at the man as if she was shocked. The man still shamelessly opened his mouth.

“It’s late to introduce yourself. My name is Kim Ji-hak, and I am the Director of the Association’s Wizard Foundation. He is in charge of all magical events that occur in Korea. Curses are also magic, so we are also involved in today’s bio-bombing incident. Since the incident is an incident, the police are also taking action.”

“Ah, I don’t know much about this. Anyway, this is a high-ranking dispute, right? Since you came out in person, you’ll accept my offer, right?”

“Originally I would have ignored it. Mi-ryeong is not a hunter and there are quite a few suspicious aspects. However, given the situation, I need Mi-ryeong’s help. The human bomb demon is not being tracked at all. … Even though it looks like this, I feel like grasping at straws.”

No tracking at all?

I wondered if the association could be like this, but then I realized that there was no other way. ‘Come on Baby’ didn’t work either, so if it weren’t for Mi-ryeong, I would have just given up and minded my own business.

“The plan is…” It’s not worth talking about here, so please follow me. Hunter Seong Yu-jin next to me. Director Baek, please follow us.”

I followed him into the emergency response room.

A group of suitors gathered in the conference room. Just by looking at them, they are giving off an atmosphere unique to those of high rank. I ignored them. There was only one person controlling this place. She is a gray-white woman with short hair. She appeared to be middle-aged and was sitting with a cigarette in her mouth. It appears that her conference room is a non-smoking area, as there is an ashtray placed only in front of her, but no one says anything to her.

“This is Lee Yeon-sook, the person in charge of this bio-bombing incident.”

She spoke in a stern tone. It was a harsh voice that seemed to scratch one’s ears. Cigarette smoke wafted from her mouth.

I was shocked when I heard her name. She was a famous name that no hunter would know. No, it’s a name you know even if you’re not a hunter.

“Hell Tiger Lee Yeon-sook!”

One of only 5 S-class hunters in Korea, including Han A-young.

“Sweetheart… “She shouldn’t call me by that nickname.”

Lee Yeon-sook growled. The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly becomes tense. Some tailors were shaking their arms and legs.

I assessed her skills. Can you win if you fight? I’m not sure.

“… “I’m sorry.”

“Okay. If it were 20 years ago, I would have punched him in the face first. Be thankful that I have matured. I heard he’s a hunter with S-class potential… It’s even better than I imagined when I read the report. I might get to S rank within a few years. Intelligence guys… “I’m not doing my job properly.”

She clicked her tongue and put her new cigarette in her mouth.

I think I know why she was called Hell Tiger. Her temper is incredibly fierce. Moreover, if you look at her ashtray, her cigarettes are already piled up. It reminds me of the time when she smoked tiger cigarettes.

“Well, weren’t you retired? “I heard that you can live a healing life in a place with good water and good air.”

“Officially, yes. Unofficially, I work for a government-affiliated agency. “My main job is teaching children.”

I felt like I knew Korea’s secret.

“And. You have quite a barrier wrapped around your body, right? “You are a fun person.”

She said as if Mi-ryeong was impressed. I checked Lee Yeon-sook’s body. She was simply wearing a suit that, from the outside, seemed to fit her body perfectly. When she used her Heavenly Eye, she could see the barriers she had placed around her body. Since I have no knowledge of the barrier, I don’t know what kind of barrier it is. However, I know that each one of those dozens of barriers is not normal.

Lee Yeon-sook’s eyes turned to Mi-ryeong. She clicked her tongue as she scanned her beauty from her head to her toes.

“What a foxy bitch. “It’s an award I just hate.”

“No way. A fox looking at a person. “You are doing too much.”

“Let’s get to the point. A barrier is spread across Seoul to confirm the curse, and the bio-bomb curse is traced back to track down the terrorist. Is that right?”

“Yes. Although it requires a large amount of magic stones. Oh, I wish there were a few more items. Like a jujube tree struck by lightning?”

“… That. “It’s not a decision, it’s an item needed for backtracking.”

“You know very well. The same goes for wrapping a barrier around your body… Are you a drinking expert? “No, are you a wizard according to the association?”

“It’s a barrier temple. Although it is specialized in one direction… There is some insight into witchcraft. One condition is essential to the success of your plan. The skills of the barrier master. Spreading a barrier across Seoul? “It is difficult even with support.”

“Ah, in short, it means show your skills, right? Hehe. That’s not difficult.”

Just.

Mi-ryeong snapped her fingers.

Since she was using her Heavenly Eye, I saw that her barrier was unfolding around her. In the blink of an eye, her barrier surrounded the space. There were only two people besides me who realized this.

Kim Ji-hak, the director of the Wizard’s Founding Nation, and Hell Tiger Lee Yeon-sook.

Kim Ji-hak swallowed a groan, and In Yeon-sook’s eyes sparkled with interest.

“It’s confirmed, right? Now it’s our turn. I would like to know more about this matter. It’s strange that an officially retired S-class hunter suddenly appears and participates in this event. “You’re not the only S-class hunter.”

Lee Yeon-sook thought for a moment and then glanced at the suitmakers around her.

“We need to talk about it separately. “Go out.”

The suitmakers, including Kim Ji-hak and Baek Ji-eun, left. The only people left in the conference room filled with cigarette smoke were me, Mi-ryeong, and Lee Yeon-sook.

“Actually, there is no reason for me to explain it to you in detail.”

“I’m curious because I’m the type of person who needs to know. Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have to do it. Because you can roughly guess. The reason why a retired S-class hunter steps forward… There must be a direct connection with the human bomb demon.”

“It has multiple tails. “It was a nine-tailed fox, not a fox.”

“Oh?”

Miryeong, startled, brought both hands to her hips. Of course, there was no tail. Lee Yeon-sook, who did not know Mi-ryeong’s identity, looked at Mi-ryeong as if she were pitiful.

“This matter is confidential. If a rumor spreads, I won’t let it go. … She did warn. Before we talk, what is your relationship? “If it’s not important, I’d like to talk to this fox in private.”

“That’s not possible! The reason I work is all because of you! And it’s a very important relationship. We are one in unity! A community of destiny! “We are a couple who have been married for a thousand years!”

“You’re not married.”

“Yes? “For us, it’s a common-law marriage!”

As she tried to refute, she realized that she could not. [Gwangmyeong Ascension Path] Because we have lived together in this world for only a few years.

“Do the skit at your house.”

Lee Yeon-sook growled again. Mi-ryeong and I looked at each other and nodded.

“… 10 years ago. The human bomb horse Rezo was subdued by European S-class hunters. That was certain. Because I saw that corpse with my own eyes.”

It was different from what I knew.

“Lee Yeon-sook participated in that subjugation?”

“It was the World Hunter Association that led the work. “I participated through a deal with the World Hunter Association.”

“What’s the deal?”

“I cannot tell you about the details of the transaction because it is a personal matter. Besides me, there are quite a few S-class hunters who participated unofficially. The World Hunter Association judged Rezo’s abilities to be too dangerous at the time. Did you say that if we didn’t intervene, there would be more than a million casualties?”

Mi-ryeong crossed her arms.

“Hmm. Are you sure that the culprit in this case is Rezo, who said he personally identified the body?”

“… The evidence is that a terrorist incident occurred in Korea. He came to Korea to get revenge on me. “The subway terror attack is probably an assertion and a warning that it means to harass me in the future.”

“Wasn’t it European hunters who killed Rezo? “Isn’t it strange that the target of revenge is you?”

“The most difficult thing in subjugating Rezo was finding the hidden Rezo. I secured Rezo’s son, Villan, and used him hostage to find out Rezo’s location. Later, he killed Vijan. “Vijan was also a witch doctor and terrorist like his father.”

“Son’s revenge? That’s understandable.”

Rezo’s purpose was not Mi-ryeong and me. However, breaking the silence of the past 10 years and taking action will also have an impact on us.

“The reason I came forward was because it was my job. What I thought was over isn’t over, so I have to end it. Now it’s your turn. All you have to do is find Rezo. “I will do the rest.”

“The association said they would accept our proposal… I’ll do my best. If there are no variables, you will be able to find them.”

Yeon-sook Lee glanced at her smartphone.

“They say the magic stone is ready. Do I need a special place?”

“The rooftop of this building. You can use it, right? This barrier is more efficient when placed in a high place. “The building here is over 50 stories tall.”

“I get it. I have someone send the magic stone up.”

“If you are sensitive to mana, you can recognize the barrier.”

“How sensitive should we be?”

“Hmm. About the West? “Ordinary people won’t feel it.”

“I need to send a message to the A-level hunters.”

“Rezo feels it too and can’t run away.”

“Rezo will not be in Seoul. He’s probably trying to figure out where to set off the human bomb while he’s safe. “You can’t give up your own habits.”
