Self-Employed With Instant Death - Self-Employed With Instant Death chapter 47
47 – S-23 Gate(2)
“sorry… .”
Shia knelt down and raised her hand.
I blushed in embarrassment.
“I-I’m grateful for your feelings, but Shia.”
I sighed.
‘I almost got into trouble.’
A cold sweat ran down my back.
On the floor, a fallen piece of Absolute Shield sprouted.
To begin with, I couldn’t save Shia in a dangerous situation.
Sia greeted the brass on my behalf, and once a day, the absolute shield that blocks a fatal attack from the user was activated.
‘Damn it… If it wasn’t an instant kill or something like that, it would have been a decent ability.’
If he was an authentic S-class hunter, he would have been able to deal with the unexpected situation just as easily.
It could be said that Shia’s sudden acceleration was a problem, but I felt embarrassed because I couldn’t protect her even this much.
I sighed and continued talking. I feel very tired.
“I am strong enough even without you. okay?”
“Yeah… ”
Shia answered in a low voice.
Still, it hurts my heart to see Chaewon kneeling down.
I walked over and helped Shia up.
Even after Sia woke up, she couldn’t look at me properly.
“Next time, don’t step out. okay?”
“Yeah, but it looks too dangerous.”
“Write.”
“sorry… … ”
‘I was thinking about how to kill it, but it’s dangerous… ‘
I just couldn’t protect anyone, but I was invincible to monsters. It’s because Sia suddenly pushed it, because Brass can also be removed using an instant kill. Even if you cook a bowl of cup noodles and fight while eating, you won’t lose to a bug monster like a wyvern.
“By the way, it’s a pity.”
“It was stronger than the average wyvern. So, that’s where I went… Ugh.”
Opening her eyes, she mercilessly pulled Yoo Shia’s cheek.
“Don’t talk back.”
“Yes, ek.”
Sia rubbed her red cheek with her hand.
… It must have been painful.
“Hey, that’s not wrong. Wyverns are a bit strange.”
“… … .”
“answer.”
“I just said don’t do it… Ugh.”
“retort.”
Shia looked at her as if she was dumbfounded.
“… Are you kidding me?”
“yes.”
“… … .”
I crossed my arms and continued my anguish.
‘A f*cking ugly wyvern.’
‘The hunters are suddenly following.’
‘What is the correlation between the two?’

Kki-Ik-.
After all, it wasn’t my type to roll my head.
There was an old-fashioned sound because it was not oiled so much.
“Isn’t it you?”
“… … .”
Shia pursed her lips and stayed still. I laughed and patted my shoulder.
“I won’t joke anymore. Tell me.”
“I don’t know either.”
Sia said with a relaxed expression.
“However, I know for sure that this gate you picked is a problem. Look at this.”
“Well.”
Sia must have been paying attention since earlier, and continued without interruption.
The place she pointed to was a flower. S-23 was famous for all kinds of minerals and medicines, so it was a considerable amount.
“The poppies have withered. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this.”
He stroked his chin.
Poppy didn’t really mean poppy, it was slang. It recovers fatigue, and it is called that because it smells like a drug like poppy.
Originally, it is a medicinal herb known for its beauty.
However, the poppy was charred. Rather than being artificially burned, the color itself looks ominous. It seems that I can smell the faint sh*t.
“As you can see from earlier, the state of the wyvern was also strange.”
“I felt that too. Really f*cked.”
‘Still, he’s at an age where he’ll grow up, let’s not use harsh words.’
Recalling that Shia is the same age as Chaewon, I refined my language.
“It looked like a worm. feel bad.”
Sia pouted and punched me in the chest with a fist like a cotton bat.
“bad words!”
“… ?”
I looked at Sia with a true red color.
Shia bit her lip and turned her head.
My face heats up like a tomato.
‘my… If the prediction is correct, did Chaewon just copy it… ?’
The moment I tried to ask because I didn’t notice. Sia turned around.
“It seems to have been influenced by something. It’s also very artificial. … Our guild also speculated that it was an outside action.”
“Is it an outside work?”
“In the case of the S-23, there are many people who covet it. So, the cause is still unknown, but the prevailing opinion is that the result must be the work of an outsider. Gates operated in cooperation with the state are sensitive to casualties, so there is a story that a villain was deliberately put in.”
Sia said seriously, wondering if she was immersed in the words she simply tried to change.
“After coming here, I have a guess. Nothing has been revealed yet.”
“What are you guessing?”
“… What medium did you use?”
Shia’s eyes narrowed coldly.
“I don’t know what that is. I will find out.”
Boom!
“Ugh!”
Shia made a stupid noise and sat down. I shook my head.
“What are you looking for? Just be healthy.”
“… Yeah?”
‘That’s enough for me to think about.’
Sia gave enough information.
That it was an outside act, and that there would be a ‘mediator’.
I looked around.
Even though I had memories of my previous life, there was one thing that I couldn’t recall the truth of this S-23 gate.
It was so eventful. In other words, not because I couldn’t remember, but because there were too many things. It was an overabundance of information, and with that corrected, it’s easy to figure out the answer.
At which point did I stop?
To be precise, it was the place where the wyverns flew.
“The well was poisoned. Have you heard of this?”
The most perfect way to kill a village. Like that, the easiest way to get ‘addicted’ to something is to put it in water.
It’s no different than a monster. As a living organism, water is the most valuable source of energy.
The place where the wyverns quench their thirst was a lake.
A lake neither large nor small.
I crouched down in front of him, scooped up some water, and swallowed.
[You get poisoned. 59:21:11]
[‘Berrage’ is forced. you get stronger However, nothing is free in this world! Be careful of the side effects!]
[caution! The artifact ‘Lord of Twilight’ removes the user’s abnormal status effect.]
‘This… .’
Looking at the status window, I’m sure.
It is a drug that stimulates the body.
‘Is that why the bodies of the Wyverns were bizarre?’
I remembered the shards of glass that had fallen on the floor earlier.
It was probably used to store drugs.
It seemed that someone had brought it into the gate without permission.
‘The stinky smell vibrates.’
The reason why the death rate of hunters soared.
It’s probably because I took drugs and went to explore the gate.
Probably, the probability of dying from a berserk rather than death by a monster is higher.
“Let’s go back.”
I looked at Sia and said.
Information analogy has also been completed to some extent.
Now all you have to do is tell Siwoo hyung.
“I know… .”
Sia still couldn’t look me straight in the eyes.
I must have been very sorry about what happened earlier.
‘It’s the first time I’ve seen her downcast.’
Sia, who was bold in everything.
Being shy is cute.
Shall I play with you?
“Oh, did you sprain your third vertebra? I can’t walk.”
He grabbed his back and limped his legs.
“Are you okay brother?!”
Shia came running towards me with rabbit-like eyes.
“sorry. Catch me!”
Sia put my arm on her shoulder and started to support me.
The subtle smell of luxurious perfume tickled my nose.
I felt apologetic when I looked at Sia from above who was supporting me.
‘If I said it was a ball, I’d lose my hand, right?’
… I’ll have to keep it a secret
**
In the end, I was supported by Shia all the way outside the gate.
“Are you okay, lady!”
When I came out, I saw men and hunters in black suits.
‘Is it because of Shia?’
I had expected.
Because I brought my daughter to the troubled gate S-23.
maybe there was an uproar
“it’s okay.”
“miss… How did you come to this dangerous place? The president was very worried.”
“I see.”
Sia glanced at me.
“I guess you didn’t know who I was with.”
‘Right.’
What am I to worry about?
“Is it you?”
The man raised his glasses and glared at me.
“Yes?”
“He’s the one who put my lady in a dangerous place!”
“… … .”
If you ask me, it’s not right.
Because earlier, Sia took the breath instead of me.
“Are you a person with an idea? Why are you bringing the young lady here!”
“I am sorry.”
It is better to apologize in moderation here.
I’m looking after the kid, but I didn’t want to cause a problem.
“Stop it, sir.”
A clear, high-pitched voice was heard.
When I turned around, it was a familiar face.
Black hair and a straight nose. Two black jewels were embedded between the slender, straight eyelashes.
‘Shin Seohyun.’
Shin Seo-hyun, an S-class hunter belonging to SJ.
I’ve been to a noodle shop before.
With Seol Min-ah.
“But, Mr. Seohyun, this person is our lady… !”
“It’s thanks to this person that Shia is safe, so just do that.”
“Yes?”
Shin Seo-hyun left the embarrassed-looking man behind and looked at Sia with me.
“Are you both okay?”
“Yes, as you can see.”
“That’s fortunate. By any chance, was there anything special inside the gate?”
“Anything special?”
“Even if you saw it, I would appreciate it if you did it without knowing. It’s our inside job.”
‘Are you talking about drugs?’
SJ will know that the drug is running.
Given the temporary closure, what measures are they taking right now?
however.
I can’t keep my mouth shut
This job will definitely help Lee Si-woo.
“I can’t keep it a secret.”
I don’t have any ill feelings toward Shin Seo-hyun, but I won’t avoid it if I’m thinking of stopping her.
She is also working under SJ, and I am also working for Siwoo Lee.
In the end, one person has to go quietly. I don’t think so.
It’s because I’m the kind of person who handles anything with certainty.
‘I’ll have to move.’
I glanced at Sia.
You don’t want to see your throat explode right in front of you.
“okay.”
“Then move… .”
I looked at Shin Seohyun with wide eyes.
“Yes?”
“Because I can’t stop you anyway. First of all, I said it as a member of SJ.”
“Ah, yes.”
I stuffed my hands into my pockets with an expression that made me feel refreshed.
‘I’d rather go well.’
“Huh, lady, let’s get on. The president is looking for you.”
The man looked at me with a disapproving expression, then smiled at Sia.
“Brother ride too. You’re hurt, but I’ll take you.”
“Oh, I’m fine now. I have work to do first.”
“still….”
“Come on, let’s go, Sia.”
“sister!”
Shin Seo-hyun, who had roughly noticed the situation, grabbed Shia’s shoulder.
“Then proceed carefully.”
“Yes, that too.”
**
“That’s how it happened.”
I told Siwoo Lee over the phone about the unusual incident at the gate.
-As expected, was it moonlight?
“Moonlight?”
-You may not know. Moonlight is a popular awakening drug among hunters these days.
‘It’s a name I’ve never heard before.’
There were many times when drugs were popular in a previous life.
However, the drug named Moonlight is the first of its kind.
-Anyway, you worked hard. Because I have to go to a meeting now. I’ll call you back later.”
“okay. brother. Go in.”
– Knock.
I put my smartphone roughly in my pocket.
‘It’s already 8 o’clock.’
I don’t know if Chaewon ate dinner.
On the way home through a noodle shop with a light heart.
A man was hanging out in front of our store.
‘What is that guy again?’
The time when you want to observe the behavior carefully.
I met eyes with a man.
“The shop is closed for today.”
“Is this right? A noodle shop that improves your ability.”
“It’s just a rumor. The ability doesn’t go up, but the taste is there.”
Noodles that increase ability were a special food that I only gave to my acquaintances.
I’m not a donation lover enough to give to just anyone.
“I don’t need the taste. Bring me some noodles.”
“Come back in three years. Reservations are full.”
“You don’t want to die. You better come out soon. ”
“When you say something nice, just go.”
He was a difficult guy to deal with.
The moment you ignore it and try to cross the man.
-widely!
The man grabbed my shoulder.
“Ha, annoying.”
I grabbed the man’s wrist and bent it clockwise.
“Ah! f*ck!”
Then he threw it on the floor like garbage.
“Everything is in order, kid. Come back in three years.”
“for a moment! Wait, you are a baby! ”
“You’re out of your mind.”
He turned his head around and approached the man.
Then the man hurriedly began to pull something out of his pocket.
“What are you doing?”
“Today is your memorial day.”
‘uh?’
A man pulling a purple liquid in a glass bottle out of his pocket.
It was very similar to the one I saw at the gate earlier.
“Is that a moonlight?”
“I know. You are behind.”
“Where did you buy that?”
“Do you think I’ll kindly inform you, bastard!?”
The man hurriedly opened the lid and poured the drug into his mouth.
“Okay then let’s ask you some questions.”
That’s very unkind.
