Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 83 Almighty (1)

"You don't have to be too vigilant. Everyone has the bad habits they had when they were young. I was trying to suppress the tremors of my hands because of the expedition, but who would say anything."

Let's add one more piece of information about John.

John is a drug dealer. He doesn't know when it started. I'm not interested.

It wasn't serious, but it was certain that he wasn't mentally healthy.

From the beginning, I did not think that a hunter who only searched for dungeons where the flood had occurred would be sane. But it wasn't a big deal for Hyunmoo.

It only needs to be ensured that John demonstrates his abilities.

"Please accept my sincerity."

"I don't know why you're doing this."

"It doesn't matter."

Hyunmoo smiled broadly.

"I just want to get to know Priest Johann like Mr. Lee Ji-tae. Considering my sincerity, if I invite you to a dinner party later, I would be grateful if you could attend at least once."

He didn't reply, but Hyunmoo knew he would accept it.

It's not about the item. Risk addicts like Johann can't just ignore the unknown like Hyunmoo.

He is unconsciously drawn to death.

"I'll call you later."

John gave a short answer and turned his back. Hyunmoo looked back at him and smiled.

Johan said he had no affiliation, but Hyunmoo had a different idea.

Lee Ji-tae is already making full use of John. It was very likely that John was unaware that he was lying or that he belonged to it.

Because people with strong beliefs may be used without realizing it.

'Even if you were under Lee Ji-tae, you would only be taken advantage of, and then you would end your life by suicide.'

But Hyunmoo had no intention of letting John run away like that.

'I can't let a valuable talent like you be wasted like that.'

It is impossible to waste valuable talent in the vicious cycle of increasing the difficulty level, which requires all-out warfare to conserve even a single resource.

All things of value must be possessed by him.

You will not waste a single one of it, and will use it preciously to the core of your bones.

'Before that... … .'

Hyunmoo thought as he buried himself in the chair.

'I'll have to keep him away from Lee Ji-tae.'

***

The next day, Lee Ji-tae returned home after ending the flood of Chuncheon Dungeon.

As in the case of the truncation dungeon, the media also featured in the front page article. It was a time when there was no shortage of scoops.

[Lee Ji-tae, the leader of the Taeseong clan, is back!]

[Chuncheon Dungeon Flood Completely Ended][A surprising series of floods, a harbinger of catastrophe?]

Lee Ji-tae wasn't too surprised when he said that the truncation dungeon ended before him. He focused on his post-processing, leaving a message that he would compile all other information and publish it later.

Although there were numerous interview requests, the first thing that Lee Ji-tae did was to go to meet the bereaved families of the Flood expedition members of the truncated dungeon.

He had just been running a dungeon expedition before, and when he saw Lee Ji-tae, who immediately went to visit the bereaved family, people turned their tongues around.

[Even though they are from the same race, is not Lee Ji-tae's personality higher than that?]

[N-Yeah, Lee Ji-tae is top-notch in talent as well as personality~]

[Chuncheon dungeon is 2 stars and Jeoldu dungeon is 3 stars, but where do you go?]

[No, the next hamster canine dog~]

"Brother, I'm here!"

After leaving the lab, I heard Yumin open the door and come in.

Hyunmoo wrote [if you honestly think Kang Hyunmoo is better than Lee Ji-tae] in the comments section of the internet news, he wrote it down and quickly deleted it.

Hyunmoo hurriedly presses down on the keyboard, and Yumin looks at him with a suspicious expression.

"What are you doing? You don't have to hide what you're watching. Was it something like that?"

"I was posting malicious comments on internet news."

“Wow… that’s a bit like that.”

Yu-min smiled and took off his coat. He smelled delicious.

"Would you like to eat bungeoppang? They are slowly starting to sell."

After Park Hwi-so decided to turn the crystal moss into cash and Do Won-kyung did the physical examination, Yu-min seemed relatively leisurely.

But, aside from that, Yumin was always busy with rapping. Helping Hyunmoo was all he had done with spare time. When the time began, he seemed to have started working on his thesis in earnest.

Yumin rested his chin on Hyunmoo's head and looked at the monitor.

Hyunmoo looked at internet news not just to post malicious comments, but for other reasons.

It was to buy back the stocks that were arranged after the truncation dungeon flood.

"What, the stock as soon as you get out of the dungeon? Did you hear gambling fun?"

“No. I went in to dispose of everything I had. I just wanted to know what the rest would be like.”

“Then why is that company? D&W is said to be very poor these days.”

Hyunmoo then concentrated on the monitor again.

D&W Industries. It was a company that developed items for hunters and military supplies.

Hyunmoo was buying it without realizing it. Hyunmoo couldn't understand Yumin's words.

"Is it insolvent? It's not a very good company..."

Only then did Hyunmoo see blue figures all over the graph representing the business status. I was wondering why I hadn't seen this before.

Hyunmoo rubbed his eyes for a moment and looked at the other stocks he had bought so far. Most of them were dungeon-related industries, and they were all staggering together.

But in Hyunmoo's eyes, they looked like absurdly undervalued companies.

'what? Why?'

Hyunmoo knows very little about stocks. This time, he was merely judging from his common sense what he had earned by using the Flood.

He never studied the company's asset value or excellence.

But now, for some reason, I was convinced that these companies were absurdly undervalued.

'I think I had a similar experience.'

When entering the last top floor in a truncation dungeon. At that time, the structure of the dungeon changed drastically, but Hyunmoo predicted how the structure would change as well.

At the time, he thought he had gotten used to it, but it was clear that something had changed. Ever since he killed Jannock Marx and saw that monstrous monster.

"Oppa? You bought the wrong one, right?"

"I didn't buy it wrong."

Hyunmoo cut it off. he could be sure His eyes quickly scanned the news section again.

It was still full of news about Lee Ji-tae's end of the Chuncheon Dungeon Flood. But he had a foreboding that change was coming soon. It felt like the media was holding their breath about something.

And not long after, the long-awaited news appeared.

[Director Oh Dae-seong returns with the remains of branch manager Seo Tae-kyung!]

[Director Dae-Sung Oh, issued an emergency statement.]

[Director Oh Dae-seong, "I will hold Tae-seong accountable."]

[Full disclosure of body cam records left by the late Seo Tae-kyung]

[The late Seo Tae-kyung did not run away, but was abandoned?]

Hyunmoo smiled broadly.

Now it was time to move on to the next step.

***

A cramped crevice of the dungeon.

There are nine men inside a barricade made of clumsy bricks and corpses of monsters. He looks around with anxious eyes and is wary, but there is silence everywhere.

Then someone approaches a man. The man who raised his head is Seo Tae-kyung, the branch manager.

The Hunters suggest something to him, but Seo Tae-kyung checks his watch and shakes his head.

In the innermost part of the gap, the bodies of the hunters who died in the dungeon were contained in body bags. Instead of using the Return Scroll, they were the corpses they decided to take out.

The time has come to give off a rotten smell, but Seo Tae-kyung seems to be planning to fulfill the promised two days exactly 48 hours.

Then, at one point, the Hunter, who was sitting on the barricade and was vigilant, sends a signal.

The hunters rushed to see the direction the hunter who was on guard was pointing in. I see someone in the distance through the faint darkness.

are watching them

Obviously not Ratman. more likely to be human.

An excited atmosphere spreads saying that it is clear that the other expedition members who were finally scattered among the Hunters have returned. Seo Tae-kyung also waits for them to approach, but for some reason the other person doesn't even move.

Seo Tae-kyung suddenly noticed that there was only one opponent.

Then, at one point, the opponent suddenly disappeared.

A look of perplexity spreads. The two hunters headed there, wondering if there was any need for help.

After a while, the hunters jumped up. It sounded like a scream. Seo Tae-kyung stops the hunters from running away again. All of a sudden, the ratmen start coming in.

It is a large-scale attack that is different from the small-scale raids that have occurred so far. The hunters, panicked by the number, shout something to Seo Tae-kyung while confronting them.

Seo Tae-kyung is still hesitant to write the return order. Because if you write a return spell, the other expedition members who broke up are really left in the dungeon.However, when the barricade begins to overflow with monsters like a breakwater collapsing, there is nothing to be done. The Hunters begin to retreat back in haste.

The hunters persuade Seo Tae-kyung to write the return order in a hurry, and take out the order as if there is no Seo Tae-kyung.

But at that moment, something pierces Seo Tae-kyung's hand. It's a big dagger

The return spell falls between the severed fingers. The hunters shouted something and tried to pick up the return spell again, but it was already too late.

A wave of ratmen hit them. The screen went off as one of the ratmen trampled on the bodycam.

***

Reporters held their breath as they watched the video. There was no sound, but it was a shocking video.

Oh Dae-seong opened his mouth with a hard expression on his face.

"The video is over. The camera was damaged, but we were able to recover the video except for the audio."

A day had passed since returning from the truncation dungeon, but Oh Dae-seong was still wearing equipment stained with the blood of monsters.

The podium felt cramped due to the addition of a muscular body that was as big as one head compared to others.

"As you can see from the video, unlike Taesung's misleading, Seo Tae-kyung, the branch manager, tried to hold on to the end responsibly. If he used the return order as soon as he knew that the monster could not handle it, the Almighty Team would be able to return safely. there would have been."

“Isn’t that the mistake of team leader Seo Tae-kyung?”

When a reporter asked a question without notice, Oh Dae-seong glared at him. But it was a question he had already expected.

“It may be, but we usually call a situation in which 30% of the troops are incapacitated in combat, which we call annihilation. However, nearly half of the truncated dungeon expeditions were either dead or missing, and of course in a situation where there is an unexpected variable called dungeon transformation. We had to retreat. Branch Manager Seo Tae-kyung decided to retreat as general manager. But Tae-seong's side ignored the command and opposed it."

Oh Dae-seong then glanced at the reporters.

“I know there are some reporters who are influenced by Taeseong among the two. But think about it. What would happen to the military in a wartime situation if, because of personal feelings, the soldiers disregard the command and move arbitrarily, even using their personal networks? "

Of course, the hunters are not soldiers, but the reporters who are not capable have a sympathetic atmosphere. Most were military writers.

“In the end, you might say that it was because the results were good. But, as we all know, it was an expedition that would have been difficult to even clear without Hunter Kang Hyunmoo. And we still did not know how strong Hunter Kang Hyunmoo was. I was in this situation. The reason that Seo Tae-kyung, the branch manager, hesitated to return was a sign of responsibility for taking responsibility for the expedition until the end, I do not want to say that it was a mistake in judgment."

The reporter who first asked the question at Oh Dae-seong's words averted his gaze.

But it was not a simple matter.

In the end, it was the Taeseong team that brought the result of the complete end of the truncation dungeon flood, and it was the Almighty Team that abandoned the other team and stepped back and produced the worst result of team annihilation.

In a society that values ​​only the results, it was difficult for Oh Dae-seong's words to have power.

“What does it mean to hold Tae-seong accountable?”

Then a reporter asked another question.

The reporters, who thought it was just an angry word, looked at Oh Dae-seong with curious expressions.

Oh Dae-seong contorted his face and took out what he had brought with him in a transparent plastic bag.

When Seo Tae-kyung tried to use the Return Spell, it was the dagger that he dropped by matching his hand.

The mark of the Taesung group was clearly engraved on it.

It was made by the Taeseong group, and all the hunters of Taeseong were given and carried as secondary weapons.

"I think the strange movements of the monsters that drove Team Leader Seo Tae-kyung to death are not natural. After reading the video several times, I wondered if this was an intentional attempt by Tae-seong's side to drive the monsters in to facilitate their expedition. I have my doubts."

Watching the live press conference, Hyunmoo felt complicated.

Everything was going as expected.

'If there's a problem, it's that things are going very well... … .'
