Entrance of Muju Seongji Mountain gate
“Have you contacted them?”
“Yes.”
“What did they say?”
“สแดใ ก แดแดแดส.”
“Gosh, I told you not to speak in English?!”
“ษช-ษช แดแด แดษดษขสษชsส. . . .”
“You brat, you were born in Yanggu, Gangwon Province!”
“. . . . . . .”
No.6 shut his mouth at No.5’s irritation.
“Anyway, it’s crazy that he doesn’t even know English and speaks gibberish.”
“So stupid.”
“Hey! Are you cursing at me in English because you know I don’t understand English?”
“No! I didn’t.”
“What did you just say? Show stewie? I’ll look it up later. If it’s a curse, won’t I rip your mouth open? Huh?!”
No.6 muttered in a small voice.
If only he weren’t a senior. . . Oh.
“So when are No.7 and the others coming?”
“sแดแดษด. . . no, they’ll be here soon.”
“If you use English one more time. . . crash!”
“I’m sorry. They’ll be here soon.”
“It seems like they had an easy time with their opponents. They finished so quickly.”
“I heard it was just a low-ranking member of HSIU. It must have been unfortunate that he even caught a drug offender by accident.”
No. 5 nodded in agreement.
This time, the Ghost Corps had two assassination targets.
The main target was an S-Rank Hunter named Kang Yeo-hwa. She was in charge of investigating the ‘Awakener drug’ that was circulating in South Korea.
The mission was to eliminate Kang Yeo-hwa and destroy the related documents.
“But wouldn’t it be enough to just get rid of the documents? An S-Rank is too much for us to handle.”
“That’s why we sent No. 1 to No. 4. We’re not going to fight them one-on-one.”
“I suppose. . . there’s no point in risking our necks.”
No. 5 yawned and lay down, using a tree root as a pillow.
They were currently at the entrance to the Gate.
They were acting as gatekeepers, just in case anyone tried to enter.
But it was unlikely that anyone would come to this remote mountain valley.
“Senior, have you ever seen the higher-ups fight?”
“Hmm, not many, but a few times.”
“What’s it like?”
No. 5 thought for a moment about how to answer.
How should he describe the battles of those beings?
“Basically, the four of them are on a different level.”
“But you’re only one level below them, Senior.”
“That’s true in terms of numbers, but. . . No. 1 is. . . ‘different’.”
No. 6 looked at No. 5 in disbelief.
“Senior, if anyone heard you, they’d think you were a good person. Aren’t we all the same rank?”
It was strange to hear such words from the person with the highest kill count in the Ghost Corps.
No. 5 smiled wryly at No. 6’s words.
“Punk, I’m a professional killer.”
“Like right now?”
No. 6 stared at a dark spot on the mountain ridge.
Something was approaching them at an incredible speed.
“It’s not No. 7 and the others, is it?”
“They’re not that fast.”
“Ugh. . . whoever it is, I can’t be bothered to kill them.”
No. 6 gathered his energy and activated his skill.
[Absolute Domain]
A domain skill that allows him to sense all movement within a 5m radius.
He would be able to predict any attack that came within that space.
“Senior, if you don’t do something, I’m going to die alone.”
Poof!
But No. 6 was unable to finish his sentence.
Siwoo’s dagger pierced his throat, and blood bubbled from his mouth.
“What do you mean, domain?”
“Kugh. . . wha. . .!”
A cold gaze met No. 6’s wide-open eyes.
A moment later, the dagger was pulled out of his throat.
“What the hell are you?”
No. 5 asked, getting up from his seat.
He was stunned.
No. 6 wasn’t weak enough to die so easily from a single slash.
“Youใ ก You’re that HSIU bastard? How did that son of a b*tch No. 7 deal with the whole thing?!”
He thought the face looked familiar, and it turned out to be true.
It was one of the targets this time.
He had definitely received a picture of him being bloodied and killed by No. 7.
“Are the others inside the Gate with Kang Yeo-hwa?”
“That’s right. But are you alone? You didn’t come with the other HSIU guys?”
“Why would I bring them when I can do this myself?”
No. 5 smiled, his lips stretched wide.
“I’ll deal with No. 7 and the others later. They couldn’t even handle one target.”
“I see.”
No. 5’s body shot forward like a bullet.
His movements were on a completely different level from those of the guys he had just fought, including No. 7.
He wasn’t just fast; he also had the agility of someone who had been fighting for a long time.
If the situation had been different, he would have enjoyed watching and playing with him, but. . .
Siwoo didn’t have the time.
“Instead of a grave, I’ll feed you to the mountain beasts!!”
As No. 5’s attack was about to land,
Bam!
Siwoo’s kick struck the man’s side like a bolt of lightning.
“Gaaaah!!”
No. 5 collapsed to the ground, clutching his side.
‘๐ฟ๐๐ข๐ฃ, ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ . . .!’
It felt like three of his ribs had been broken.
No. 5 gasped for breath.
Just then,
“I have a few questions for you.”
Siwoo squatted down beside him and lifted No. 5’s head by his hair.
“You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”
“Ugh. . . what the hell, you crazy bastard?”
“That’s right. That’s the attitude.”
Siwoo ripped off one of No. 5’s arms like a crab leg.
A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the mountains.
“My disciple is inside the Gate. . . which way did you guys go?”
No. 5 looked into Siwoo’s cold eyes and realized,
‘๐’๐ข ๐๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐. . . ๐ฉ๐ค๐๐๐ฎ.’
