S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 155

Episode 155: The Peaceful Yard of the Coconut Family

“How about cloning that bird? Then it’ll be in a state of lyricism, so it’ll be an easy win.”

Cheon Do-woon said. It was a question to find out Seok Woo-hyeok’s ability.

“That’s hard. If you clone a species that is stronger than me or has as much vitality as me, the other person won’t lose consciousness.”

The problems didn’t stop there.

“Even if you copy the appearance, it doesn’t mean that you can copy all of the opponent’s abilities. If you copy them half-heartedly, it will be a long-term war.”

Since he had been defeated by the bear monster, it would have been disadvantageous for him to go into a long battle.

‘It’s over quickly.’

Seok Woo-hyuk thought with a tense expression.

In fact, he was not an Awakened One. Nevertheless, he was able to work as a Hunter because of his outstanding ability to apply himself as a doppelganger.

He compressed the mud inside his body tightly. When he stretched out his arms, the mud compressed like iron balls shot out like cannonballs.

Blue spun around to avoid it.

‘It’s okay. I expected you to avoid it.’

The moment Blue dodged the mud bullet, Seok Woo-hyuk jumped in that direction.

The first mud bullet was shot at a level where it could be avoided. It was to guide them in the direction of escape.

“Got it.”

Seok Woo-hyuk took the lead behind Blue.

He intended to shoot mud bullets from behind.

But he stopped in surprise when he saw Kim Na-ri sitting on Blue’s back.

“Oh, kid…?”

Why was there a child sitting on top of the parrot? Seok Woo-hyuk froze at the unexpected situation.

It was only a moment, but it was enough time for Kim Na-ri to counterattack.

“The old man is bad.”

Kim Na-ri raised her arm.

“The old man tried to hurt Blue.”

It was only a matter of seconds before that arm transformed into a railgun. Since I had no intention of killing anyone, I adjusted the output appropriately.

Of course, that alone was threatening enough for Seok Woo-hyuk.

First hit by the railgun. Second hit by Blue’s swinging wing.

He was hit by a wing that was swung like a flyswatter and fell to the ground.

The only good thing is that the impact was cushioned by the snow that fell on it.

Still, that didn’t stop me from becoming mentally confused.

‘Why is there a child on top of the parrot… Why is the arm a railgun… .’

With that thought, Seok Woo-hyeok fainted. Cheon Do-woon pulled him out from his eyes as if he were pulling out a radish.

“Is this it?”

Considering that my body wasn’t in perfect condition, it was pretty usable.

I also like its good jumping ability and its ability to generate mud from its body.

“I will be a good worker.”

Cheon Do-woon muttered.

As if sensing the future ahead, Seok Woo-hyuk trembled even while unconscious.

Meanwhile, Blue landed on the floor.

“mister!”

Kim Na-ri, who jumped down from Blue’s back, stopped when she saw Seok Woo-hyuk fainting.

“That old man is bad. He suddenly attacked Blue. So I attacked him too.”

“Yeah, you did well. But you’re not a weirdo. You just got startled by the sight of the parrot, so you understand.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. When you wake up, treat me well. I said I would work hard from now on.”

I never said anything like that.

However, in Cheon Do-woon, Seok Woo-hyeok was already considered a good worker.

He carried Seok Woo-hyuk on his shoulders and climbed onto Blue.

I didn’t find the White Swamp, but I did get some information about it. I also got a doppelganger worker.

“I think this is a decent harvest. Cheon Do-woon smiled with satisfaction.”

At that time, the siblings were with number 49 in the yard.

Number 49, who came out of the sky and sat on the bare floor, was listening to a special lecture on ‘Becoming a Human’.

“Try to minimize the time you spend in the water. It’s important for your body to recognize the need for your legs.”

“It’s hard when your body dries out….”

“You have to endure it. Your body has to think about its structure to fit that environment. So even if it’s hard… .”

Yoo Beom stopped talking.

He looked up at the sky. Yujia, who was next to him, also looked at the same place at the same time.

“You’re here.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Cheon Do-un. I heard the sound of Blue’s wings and was wondering if it was possible. They’re coming.”

At the words of the siblings, number 49 looked up at the sky.

Of course, there was nothing in his eyes.

There’s no way you can keep up with the eyesight of a bird monster.

Only after a long time did the blue begin to appear to him as a small dot.

‘I can barely see it now. How good is their eyesight?’

It wasn’t just his eyesight. Even when the siblings noticed Blue’s approach by sound, 49 didn’t hear a thing.

It was the physical difference between the siblings classified as disaster-level and number 49, who was a normal monster-level.

Not long after, Blue landed in the yard. Nam Ki-seok and Lee Baek-ho saw him and ran over.

“Brother. Are you back?”

“Hey, are you back?”

When Nam Gi-seok shouted, Baek-ho Lee saw it and followed suit.

Park Soo-kwon, who was standing next to him, also stopped himself as he was about to say hello.

‘What am I doing? Calm down. You shouldn’t be getting caught in this place.’

You are a kidnapped hostage. You must not give them affection.

Even though he repeated that, Park Soo-kwon’s eyes were already clouded with alertness.

Even though they caught him, they didn’t detain him. They didn’t torture him either.

I’ve been watching you all along, but you’re just living comfortably day by day.

Watching that happen from the side, I couldn’t help but let my guard down.

“Who is that?”

The siblings looked at the man that Cheon Do-woon was carrying and asked.

“The son of the director of the research institute. Now that you mention it, this must be your first time seeing him.”

The expressions of the siblings hardened at the mention of the director’s son.

“Don’t make that face. You were abandoned by your father and turned into a chimera.”

Cheon Do-un told what happened in the swamp.

The siblings took different impressions upon hearing his words.

It’s not normal for someone to do something like that to their own son.

I knew it, but it seems like there’s no one normal among the people in the lab. They thought with a frown.

Meanwhile, Cheon Do-woon left Seok Woo-hyeok at home and went out.

As he came out, the siblings handed him the documents lying on the table in the yard.

“what’s this?”

“I found it while searching the lab. It was hidden behind a picture frame.”

“Did Joseph hide it?”

“Probably not. The handwriting is quite different.”

Cheon Do-woon handed over the documents while listening to his siblings.

There were 13 pages of documents in total. They contained only alchemical formulas without any further explanation.

“It looks like an important item when you look at what’s hidden there. But I don’t know what it is because there are only formulas written on it.”

“Right. I’ll show it to Manager Kim… No. It might be faster to show it to Joseph.”

Joseph may be a plant expert, but he probably knows more about chimeras.

“Let’s make a copy of the original first.”

Cheon Do-woon rolled up the documents one by one and put them in the palm of his hand.

His palms became slick like mud as the paper was pushed in.

The absorbed paper came out through the other palm.

The siblings who saw that had interesting faces.

“Is that a doppelganger ability?”

“That’s right. The formula that saved Oh Bong-soo before was also replicated in this way at the research center.”

I don’t know what this is, but if it’s been hidden away, it must be valuable.

After he finished cloning, the siblings looked into the laboratory.

“I did look around the lab. There were quite a few places that looked like they could collapse if you touched them wrong. I left those places out. You can think of it as only investigating about 70% of it.”

“Really? Then I guess I’ll have to investigate the rest once the maintenance is done.”

Since we’ve moved the entire building, there’s no need to rush. You can take your time fixing up the building and decorating the rooms while looking around.

Revenge is good, but it’s better to enjoy your current life.

If you can get revenge while doing something, it will be the icing on the cake.

Cheon Do-woon thought with a smile.

* * *

Seok Woo-hyuk opened his eyes to the noisy noise coming from outside.

The first thing I saw was the inside of a house I had never seen before.

I turned my head and saw a sinister-looking sign.

‘Coconut Family…? What is that?’

He stood up and looked at the sign with the strange phrase written on it.

The atmosphere in the room was eerie. There were traces of some kind of liquid that had melted and flowed all over the walls.

‘What, this is kind of creepy.’

It was a creepy place. Seok Woo-hyuk hurried out, feeling creepy.

“Are you awake?”

As we went outside, we saw Cheon Do-woon sitting at the table in the yard.

I felt relieved to see someone I knew, but I couldn’t relax. The things I saw around me were too bizarre.

“Wh, water… Please sprinkle some water on me. My skin is dry and it’s hard.”

In the yard, a half-human, half-fish was lying there, flapping its tail.

He crawled towards a conch shell filled with water.

The two bird monsters who saw that grabbed the tail from behind and pulled it.

“Ah, no. Moooooo…! Give me water!”

A desperate cry and handprints scratching the floor. At first glance, it looked like a scene from a horror movie.

“No water. If you only look for comfort, you won’t be able to make a bridge. Try to visualize the image of a bridge in your current state.”

The siblings flapped their wings to create wind.

Number 49 trembled at that.

“Stop it. My body, ah, is drying out….”

“You have to dry it. Drying your body without touching the water is the best way to build legs.”

Two monsters flapping their wings.

A half-human, half-fish with a wagging tail.

It was a bizarre sight. Seok Woo-hyuk looked puzzled.

When I turned my gaze, this time I saw a vegetable garden.

There, plants were spinning around, holding onto each other’s roots as if they were playing ganggangsullae.

-Ugh.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

The mandragoras roared. Inside the spinning circle was a plump metal root.

It was a celebration of the youngest root’s health.

‘What the heck is that? What are those grass roots…?’

It was a sight that seemed strange to Seok Woo-hyuk.

But what really stood out wasn’t that.

“Okay, here we swing our arms widely. The important thing is to turn our head like a windmill!”

“Is this what you mean, brother?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Good job!”

On one side of the yard, Nam Ki-seok was demonstrating the Coconut Family’s signature move.

Next to him, Baekho Lee followed the movement with a red face.

“What, it’s kind of embarrassing, bro!”

“You, you punk! Don’t you want to join the Coconut Family?”

“No, brother!”

“Then make your movements bigger! Prepare a wig and wear it on the day of the test!”

“Ah, even a wig? Something… something… I feel like I’m losing something important as a human being, hyung!”

Baekho Lee flapped his arms widely and shouted.

He was spinning his head, his face red as if it was going to burst.

It was hard to tell whether it was because she turned her head so passionately or because she was embarrassed.

“Brother. I want to look back.”

“No. Hold it in. You have to hold it in for the test day.”

The siblings desperately turned their backs on those two.

Seok Woo-hyuk’s mouth opened. Where am I? Who am I?

I don’t know where this is, but it’s a strange place. It’s a very strange place.

The moment I stepped back in embarrassment, my eyes met Baekho Lee’s.

“Huh? You’re awake!”

Lee Baek-ho ran to Seok Woo-hyeok.

He grabbed Seok Woo-hyeok’s arm and dragged him to Nam Ki-seok.

“Okay, okay! The new brother should do it too.”

“Ha, what are you talking about?”

“It’s an entrance exam! You’ll master my signature moves together with me.”

“Entry exam? Signature move? What is that…?”

“We do it. Together… Together… Together!”

I can’t die alone. That was the expression on Baekho Lee’s face.

‘Seo, are you really telling me to do what you just did?’

He looked around in confusion.

I was looking for someone to explain the current situation, and at that moment, my eyes met with Cheon Do-woon’s.

“Master, please help me!”

He cried out to the one who would be his savior.

No answer came back.

“Master!”

I called again. Still no answer.

“Master, please!”

Cheon Do-woon looked at him quietly and then raised his thumb.

“go for it.”

A short but powerful answer. Ah, have I been abandoned by my master?

I don’t know what it is, but why do I have to do that weird motion?

Seok Woo-hyuk looked up at the sky with a pale face. Nam Ki-seok stared at him with sparkling eyes.

‘Who is that guy? He’s been calling you ‘Master’ all this time.’

A rookie who hadn’t even taken the entrance exam yet was calling Cheon Do-woon his teacher.

‘I can’t even call my older brother ‘master’ yet. How dare you, the youngest.’

The Coconut Family does not tolerate insubordination.

Depending on how well you perform the family’s signature moves, you will be treated differently.

Nam Ki-seok thought with his face changed to that of an assistant.
