130. Yes, it is possible.
Mr. Joe, who had secretly infiltrated Shinuiju, approached the prison village.
The area around the prison village was under tight surveillance, just as Hyun Jeong-geon had said. There were hunters equipped with various surveillance skills and hunters guarding every street corner. As if that wasn’t enough, expensive detection devices and booby traps were also installed.
‘Hey, aren’t these things only used by A-class guilds? This is really rotten money. What the hell are you so scared of that you’re making such a fuss over just catching two people? What the heck. What the heck is that? A snobby mole?’
What Mr. Joe discovered was a monster.
A mole with a saddle nose.
A two-meter long, quadrupedal monster with a mole-like appearance and a pig-like nose.
The nose, which takes up half of the face, functions as it was meant to.
‘Those guys smell so damn good. If I had just walked in, I would have gotten caught right away.’
Mr. Joe opened the leather pouch on the other side of the ampoule kit set on his belt. He took out a small spray bottle and sprayed it on himself. It was a special hormone liquid that blocked the monsters’ sense of smell. It was a Mr. Joe made recipe that was not sold commercially.
‘It’s worse than Mr. Hyun said. They’re not easy guys. They even train monsters.’
I had heard rumors that there were hunters who tamed and handled monsters. Since this was a trait that had not yet been discovered in Korea, little was known about how it worked, but just being able to control monsters like limbs had great merit in hunting.
‘There’s nothing more convenient than being able to use the characteristics and skills of each monster. In theory, it’s like handling dozens of characteristics.’
Mr. Joe, who was on high alert, looked around more closely and became familiar with all the dangers before starting to move.
The place she was aiming for was the dormitory where hunters rested after their shifts.
It was a place where we would rent a motel and take turns resting, but since there were several rooms, we didn’t necessarily have to gather in one place and rest.
Their security was also lax, as they probably had not thought that the enemy would break through the encirclement and enter the quarters in the rear.
Mr. Joe infiltrated a room where a female hunter of moderately low rank was sleeping alone.
Before entering, I injected special sleeping gas in advance. The room was filled with a toxic smoke that even a C-rank could never withstand.
I waited for about 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate and then opened the door. The hunter was completely asleep, oblivious to the world.
“It’s moderately pretty. It’s perfect for use.”
Mr. Joe put his hand on the female hunter’s forehead. After a while, a hunter with the same face as the hunter lying on the bed was looking down from above.
“Oh, I have to copy clothes too?”
Mr. Joe placed his left hand on the clothes he was wearing and his right hand on Hunter’s clothes on the bed.
As a moment passed, the clothes Mr. Joe was wearing changed to look exactly like the clothes he had touched with his right hand.
“It was worth all the hard work making this.”
The clothes Mr. Joe was wearing looked ordinary on the outside, but in fact, they were artifacts that were hard to find anywhere. They were masterpieces made by adding his own hair with doppelganger characteristics and special fibers.
The ability of this artifact was ‘costume copy’.
‘I had a really hard time making this. I had to collect all the hair.’
When I washed my hair, I gathered the hair that fell out, and when I rolled around the room, I looked at the hair that fell out and gathered it carefully.
Even when I went to the hair salon, I would bring back my cut hair in a bag, and I would buy and read adult magazines that said my hair would grow faster. Then, my business partners caught me and made fun of me so much.
‘This is all Kang Mu-hyuk’s fault.’
The reason I decided to create a costume copy artifact was because of Kang Mu-hyeok.
While working undercover as a Titan to avoid the pursuit of the Slayer Guild, who would have thought that he would meet a pervert who remembered every single piece of clothing he had ever worn?
It was Kang Mu-hyeok who found it suspicious that she was wearing the same clothes over and over again with a different face over several months, and this led to their current relationship.
Even though Mr. Joe was still inexperienced, he never imagined that there would be someone who checked the uniforms of all the guild staff.
Since then, Mr. Joe has been working on creating an artifact that can disguise his appearance and clothes at any time and any place, and he has only recently completed it.
“Okay, shall we go in now?”
Mr. Joe took the ID out of Hunter’s wallet, checked the name, and boldly left the motel. He didn’t see anyone in the hallway, but as soon as he got outside, he ran into another hunter.
“Hey, Xu Jinglei.”
The moment he saw the man waving, Mr. Joe’s face hardened.
‘Miss, Chinese.’
A critical error was discovered.
‘Am I an idiot? I changed the face and copied the clothes, but I forgot the language.’
This was an incident that occurred because her activities were limited to within the country, so she had no opportunity to transform into a foreigner.
“What? What’s wrong? Are you upset because of what happened last time? I told you that wasn’t really me. I didn’t cheat. Come on. Listen to me. Okay?”
Mr. Joe, who still didn’t understand what she was saying, responded with an ambiguous smile.
‘Let’s laugh, laugh. You can’t spit in a smiling face. Right.’
The man also smiled brightly at her smile.
“That smile, is that forgiveness? Wow, as expected of a womanizer. I really was wrong this time. I’ll do better next time. In that sense, us. Hehe, how is it? Over there.”
Mr. Joe smiled back at the man who was pointing down a dark alley.
‘Why is this guy smiling so creepily?’
The man put his arm around Mr. Joe’s shoulder and pulled him towards him. Mr. Joe could only smile and follow him.
and.
“This bastard!”
“Xu Jinglei? You’re speaking Korean… Ugh!”
Mr. Joe stomped on the man who had fainted with one blow of his sword a few more times.
“This kid, I see he’s a total pervert. Where the hell did he get the nerve to stick his nose in there?”
Mr. Joe, who realized belatedly that he had not looked around because he had reflexively attacked, looked around. After confirming that no one was there, he let out a sigh of relief.
“I almost lost the mission because of that pervert. Tsk. I’m really going to buy the translation item after I finish this job.”
Mr. Joe put his hand on the man’s body. Her face soon became his. Her size grew and her voluminous body became muscular.
Mr. Joe searched his pockets for identification, as he had done at the motel, then dragged the unconscious man into a trash can and administered sleeping pills to keep him from waking up for several hours.
“Let me see. This guy’s name is… What do these Chinese characters say? Oh no, this guy’s not even written in English. My phone doesn’t work here, so I can’t search. Do I have to carry around a jade tablet or something? Who learns Chinese these days? Oh? This guy’s Chinese?”
Mr. Joe, grumbling in a gravelly voice, disappeared into the darkness.

As Hwang Dong-su came down from the attic, the young hunters occupying the veranda and the living room stood up and bowed their heads.
“You’re here?!”
When Hwang Dong-soo didn’t greet them, the hunters slowly raised their heads.
‘huh?’
Everyone looked at Hwang Dong-su with the same feeling. And then they checked the man he was supporting.
‘Who is that guy?’
‘Why is Brother Bisildaeseon taking care of that kid like a sick chicken?’
‘You don’t seem like a hunter, do you?’
As questions began to arise in everyone’s minds, Hwang Dong-soo, who was supporting Kang Mu-hyeok, spoke.
“This is the person I serve.”
With those words, everyone in the room had an angry expression on their face.
“Did I hear you wrong just now?”
“Brother, what’s wrong? I guess my ears are like a cripple.”
The young people who had gathered with the expectation that Hwang Dong-su would lead them were dumbfounded and confused.
“You’re telling me. Isn’t it because you keep talking nonsense like that that the atmosphere has become like this?”
“I’m sorry, Captain.”
The young men were once again surprised by Hwang Dong-soo’s appearance of bowing and apologizing. They couldn’t even say anything. What kind of older brother was Hwang Dong-soo? He was the younger brother that Kim Byeong-ju, the spiritual leader of this village, cherished. He was also very talented. If it weren’t for his mother’s illness, Kim Byeong-ju had even guaranteed that he would be the next person to lead the village.
I thought that kind of person would just stretch and come out, but then he suddenly bows down to someone who isn’t even a hunter?
It was a shock, a total shock.
Before I could even recover from the shock, Kang Moo-hyuk opened his mouth.
“I’m from down there, Bukpocheon. I’m Kang Mu-hyeok, the leader of the Iron Will Guild, led by Hunter Ju-Seah.”
Although it was a simple self-introduction, it left enough of an impact on the hunters here.
“Joo, Joo Sea?”
“The best hunter on the Korean Peninsula!”
“Why are you here… …?”
“Quiet!”
The commotion died down at Hwang Dong-soo’s words.
“Please continue speaking.”
Now, Hwang Dong-soo’s polite speech wasn’t shocking at all. The hunters listened to Kang Mu-hyeok’s next words.
“I’ll cut to the chase and get to the point. I’m going to make sure that everyone living in this town gets a resident registration card.”
““!!””
“Hunters will also be issued a certificate stating their national affiliation as a Hunter of the Republic of Korea.”
““!!””
“We will provide educational opportunities for children, medical care for the elderly, and ensure that everyone can find their rights and fulfill their responsibilities as a member of the nation. From now on, you are no longer unaffiliated hunters. If you wish, Iron Will will provide a place for you. We will give you the opportunity to be reborn as a citizen of the Republic of Korea and a member of the Iron Will Guild.”
“That, that… is that possible?”
Someone asked with a trembling voice. They couldn’t believe it when the thing they had been wishing for came out of someone’s mouth.
“I guarantee it.”
“Even if you are my brother, is this something that you can do?”
An attitude that says even Hwang Dong-soo’s guarantee cannot be trusted.
It was natural. The descendants of traitors who had to endure decades of marginalization, inequality, and neglect. Who would believe them? Not only the South Korean government, but also the people who remember the old tragedy would have objected.
Knowing this well, none of the hunters here even dreamed of it.
Because it was a dream that could not be achieved through one person’s boasts alone.
“You tell me. Is it really possible?”
Kang Moo-hyuk spoke to the hunter who asked the question.
“Yes, it is possible.”

The day was dawning.
Hwang Dong-su sent people to both Cheon Deok-su and Yeon Jeong-mun when the rooster crowed in the morning.
“What? What is Dong-su making?!”
“We are now going to form a party too.”
“You guys are really crazy! Are you talking nonsense like that right now?”
“I have already told you what my brother said. But since it is the first day, don’t blush and let’s have breakfast together. You can come to my brother Byung-ju’s house at seven o’clock.”
After the messenger left, Cheon Deok-su fell into deep thought.
A guy who lives alone suddenly starts a gang?
The news about Hwang Dong-su spread quickly among the Cheon Deok-su gang.
“No, is this guy crazy? I sent him to kill Hyun Jeong-geon and the Seoul guy. What is he doing now?”
The man who had asked Hwang Dong-soo to assassinate Hyun Jeong-geon and Kang Mu-hyeok shouted.
Cheon Deok-su, who had just come out to cool his head, heard the voice.
“What?! You told Dong-soo to kill Hyun-jung?”
“Oh, no, brother. That’s not it.”
puck!
“Ugh!”
“You little punk! Are you ignoring what I say? Didn’t I tell you not to touch my brother-in-law? Didn’t I tell you to just leave him alone no matter what happens?!”
“I’m sorry, but if you want to deal with that bastard Hyun Ga without shedding any blood… Kahak!”
“This kid will do it till the end?!”
Cheon Deok-su grabbed his subordinates a few more times. He looked fierce on the outside, but it wasn’t enough to make him sick. No matter how much of a subordinate he was, he was a familiar face, like his parents and siblings. He ended it by just setting an example.
After exerting himself, he felt his head cool down. He regained his composure. Then he called his subordinates separately.
“You run right now and tell Yeonjeongmun. She wants to meet up right now.”
