S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 190

190. The first target of the picture diary

The long-forgotten death list came back into my hands.

It is not the original, but it is a copy that has even the marks on the cover reproduced. This has certain credibility.

‘Well, the latter half became a picture diary of my daily life because my head was going crazy.’

Still, the information in the first part of the notebook is reliable.

He was looking at his notebook with a smile when his hands stopped in the middle.

“Sir, why are you doing that?”

“There are places where the context is strangely broken.”

Cheon Do-woon looked through his notebook and opened it left and right.

A mark that can only be seen when the notebook is wide open. A mark made by slicing the seams of the pages with a sharp razor blade.

“Someone ripped off the page.”

“I, really?”

“Yes. Judging from the sharpness of the cut surface, it must have happened recently.”

If it had been a long time ago, the cut part would have been worn bluntly. But this time, it didn’t feel that way.

‘Someone commented here. The notebook has a page cut out. Someone found a book with the number 17 in it a few days ago.’

Cheon Do-woon laughed.

No matter how you look at it, this was the work of the same person. All he could think of was the researcher who had given him the notebook.

If you’re searching for the energy of someone you know, the search area will be narrowed down immediately.

“The harvest is good.”

Cheon Do-woon left the reading room holding his notebook.

The manager, who had been waiting at the desk, saw him and approached him.

“Have you read all the materials?”

“Yeah. But there’s a part in this notebook that someone tore out.”

“Hey, you ripped it off?”

The director was embarrassed. He was furious when he saw the page that Cheon Do-woon showed him.

“Who would do something like this…! Let’s check the CCTV immediately!”

“Okay. We won’t be able to find any evidence, so don’t waste your time.”

“Huh, wasted effort? What do you mean?”

“Look at the marks. This wasn’t an impulsive cut. He prepared the knife in advance and went for it. Of course, he did it from an angle that wouldn’t be captured on camera.”

The director’s face became grim at Cheon Do-woon’s words.

“Don’t worry, I’ll catch the culprit.”

“Excuse me?”

“Okay. In the meantime, I’ll keep this notebook.”

Even if you reject it, I plan to take it anyway.

The manager, who didn’t know that, hesitated whether to hand over the notebook.

‘This material was originally prohibited from being rented, but… this person is the hero who saved Gold City.’

A person like that would not take old data and misuse it.

Since it wasn’t the original, lending it wasn’t a big problem.

The director nodded after thinking about it.

“How long are you going to keep it?”

“Until my work is done.”

Once all the names on the death list disappeared, it was no longer needed.

Cheon Do-un said something along those lines.

The director took it as ‘until we find the culprit who destroyed the notebook.’

“Okay, then I will take care of the notebook that you lent me.”

The answer was refreshing and good. Cheon Do-woon was satisfied and spread his mana around.

Less than three minutes into my exploration, the corners of my mouth went up.

‘Found it.’

The spirit of the researcher who gave him the notebook a long time ago.

It’s not far from here. Cheon Do-woon confirmed that and smiled.

The world’s best goods company.

There was no day off for the president of such a place. He brought work home and looked after it even on weekends.

This was especially true if Dodak was about to sign a major contract to turn his goods into merchandise.

I’ve been sitting in the living room staring at my laptop screen for hours.

An alarm went off indicating that an email had been received.

“Wow, it’s here! The Dodak merchandise email! I finally got a reply!”

“Dad, did you get an email? What does it say?”

Lee Young-ho, who was in his room, came out to the living room at his father’s shout.

Lee Young-ho smiled brightly as he looked at the laptop screen.

“That’s a positive answer! Wow, so your dad’s company has a monopoly on Dodak merchandise? I’m sure other companies are after this too. This is the best!”

Lee Young-ho smiled. But his father, the chairman, did not look bright.

“Dad, what’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

“That’s… something strange. This isn’t the answer from an old-time hunter.”

“No?”

“Yes. It’s an email from the person who first contacted us… the person who said he knew the old-time hunters.”

I thought he’d let go of the bridge with the old hunter and get away with it. But that wasn’t what the email said.

“They say they’re making a contract. The old-time hunter said he’d write a power of attorney. So he’s asking me to make a contract with him.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I had a power of attorney?”

“Well, I see. The deposit and profit distribution will also be under this agent’s name?”

At those words, Lee Young-ho’s expression hardened.

Even to me, a layman in the world of contracts, it sounded suspicious.

“Let’s see. The agent’s name is… Nam Ki-seok.”

Looking at the resident registration number, he’s in his 20s. He’s so young. That’s suspicious.

He didn’t seem to have the authority to be entrusted with a proxy contract by an old-time S-class hunter.

“I guess he’s a scammer. I liked him for nothing.”

These scammers are not worth dealing with. Just as I was about to delete the email, the doorbell rang.

“I’ll go and see.”

Lee Young-ho opened the front door.

Until then, he had no idea. That was until he saw the person standing at the door.

“uh…?”

Tall, handsome face, leaves in his hair.

Standing in front of the door was a man I had seen often on the Internet.

-Whew!

He also saw grass roots sitting on his shoulders.

“Old, old-time S-class hunter…?”

It’s true. Dodak is a hunter. The hero he had only seen on the Internet had come to his house.

In that absurd situation, Lee Young-ho’s thoughts stopped. In his stead, his father came running to the front door.

“What are you talking about! Dodak-nim? What the… Huh!”

He’s really that S-class hunter. He’s the hero we saw on the news. The moment we were disappointed with the fake contract, the real culprit appeared.

In an unbelievable situation, the chairman opened his mouth without even thinking about it.

“Come in… Come in! Youngho, what are you doing? Go get me some tea!”

“Oh, I see.”

Lee Young-ho nodded with a bewildered expression.

His father smiled brightly and brought Cheon Do-woon into the living room.

It didn’t matter how he found out about his home.

It wasn’t important that he came without an appointment.

‘Dodak has become a goods item!’

Since I’ve already appeared, I’m determined to make a deal for the merchandise to be made.

He smiled brightly at the sudden good fortune and guided Cheon Do-un.

* * *

‘I arrived at a private home. How strange.’

Cheon Do-woon entered Lee Young-ho’s house with an interested expression.

He clearly came to seek the researcher’s energy.

But the place they arrived at was an ordinary house.

Of course, it was a luxurious country house that was far from ordinary, but to Cheon Do-woon, any house with a roof was the same.

“Thank you for visiting! Are you here for a contract?”

“What about the contract?”

“I’m talking about a contract for merchandise. There’s someone who claims to be your representative… Do you happen to know him?”

The chairman turned the laptop towards Cheon Do-woon. Cheon Do-woon smiled at the email screen that appeared on the screen.

“Nam Ki-seok sent it.”

“Do you know him?”

“I know. He is my disciple.”

Disciple. The chairman’s eyes widened at those unexpected words.

‘So, he was a real agent and not a fraud?’

If I had deleted the email, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. The chairman sighed inwardly.

While he was feeling relieved, Cheon Do-woon looked over the chairman. He also looked at his son.

‘These two are ordinary people. They are not Awakened.’

Still, the energy of the person I was looking for was strongly felt.

Cheon Do-woon looked at the two and smiled.

“You’ve buried your energy.”

“yes?”

“They both have brainwashing abilities. They used their power quite cleverly.”

“Brainwashing? What is that…?”

“This is fate. I’ll let you go.”

Cheon Do-un breathed mana into their bodies. He crushed the mental manipulation that had been placed on them with his own mana and detonated it.

Dismissal. Lee Young-ho and the chairman heard something being crushed in their heads.

The fog cleared and my vision suddenly became clear.

“Someone must have approached you recently. Who is it?”

“If anyone approached… that is…”

“Dad, aren’t you talking about your uncle?”

The first to detect the change was Lee Young-ho.

A person who suddenly appeared and claimed to be my uncle. A person who naturally began living in my house at some point.

“Is that guy really your uncle? I thought it was because your mom and dad said he was your uncle… But he doesn’t look like you at all.”

The chairman’s expression hardened at Lee Young-ho’s words.

“Oh, that’s right. Who is that person? My wife and I are both only children.”

The chairman’s face turned pale.

A stranger came into the house and pretended to be a relative. Despite the bizarre situation, the whole family accepted it without question.

What on earth is going on? I was at a loss for words when the door creaked and a middle-aged man came in.

“What? Do you have a guest? I told you to tell me first when someone comes.”

The one who made his family recognize him as their uncle. He returned.

The moment the chairman and Lee Young-ho saw him, they got goosebumps.

‘Mom, I don’t know that person.’

Even if I look at it again, I still don’t know. Once I realized it, my whole body trembled.

The man, unaware that his brainwashing powers had been released, came in calmly.

“I’m going to be leaving soon. Give me some cards and cash so I can… What the heck? Why are you all looking at me like that?”

The man stopped at the gaze that looked at him as something alien.

Cheon Do-woon stood up after seeing the man.

“I remember your face. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

Cheon Do-woon said. The man’s body froze at those words.

A voice I haven’t heard in decades. A face I haven’t seen in decades.

I had long since forgotten about it. However, the moment I saw your face, the memories I had forgotten came flooding back.

“Wow, that’s ridiculous. How could you…?”

TDA Research Institute’s test subject number 17.

No, that can’t be. He was ruined by the side effects. He would have died a long time ago.

My head denied reality. My body instinctively ran towards the front door.

Kim Na-ri appeared in front of him with an afterimage.

“What, what are you!”

“I am Kim Na-ri! I am a lie detector!”

Kim Na-ri grabbed the man’s hand. An electric current flowed through the man’s body along with a crackling sound.

With a groan, the man rolled his eyes and collapsed.

Kim Na-ri, who had completed her mission, looked at Cheon Do-woon with a refreshed face.

“Sir, I have completed the lie detection!”

The power of action that electrifies you before you even ask a question.

What is that lie detection for?

Lee Young-ho and his father looked confused. On the other hand, Cheon Do-woon looked satisfied.

“Good job. I didn’t know it would be this easy to find. Nice.”

Cheon Do-woon dragged the unconscious man out of the house.

As I broke the return stone, Kim Na-ri stood next to me.

“Sir, are you going home now?”

“Right. I’ll take this and start properly detecting lies.”

“Oh oh, lie detection…! I’m confident in it!”

Kim Na-ri entered the gate with an excited face.

Cheon Do-woon saw the chairman before entering the gate.

“Nam Ki-seok is my agent. The goods contract will proceed as planned.”

“Huh? Ah… Ah, yes.”

The chairman nodded with a bewildered look on his face.

When I came to my senses, the gate had already closed and the surroundings were quiet.

An old-time S-class hunter came to their house. An unidentified man who lived in their house. First, a lie detector to support them.

What on earth had they been through? They looked at the place where Cheon Do-woon had disappeared with blank expressions.

“Well, for now… the contract for the merchandise has been concluded. Is that good?”

Yes. Good is good. That’s right. The chairman decided to think so.
