Chapter 35

 

As Han Seo-jin said, time flew by. After Han Seo-jin made several statements following the man he sent, the trial was over.

 

Shin Yeon-hyung’s disposition was also decided, and he was sentenced to a fine of 30 million won, 150 hours of completion of the Esper-Guide Cognitive Sensitivity Training, and five years of transfer and travel restrictions to other centers.

 

Han Seo-jin apologized, saying, “I’m sorry I didn’t get him a prison term.”

 

However, it was strange that the team leader and Woo Hanse, who ran into Han Seo-jin, said he was crazy, so I found out separately that the issuance of other centers and restrictions on movement were stronger punishments than I thought.

 

Especially for Shin Yeon-hyung, who has the power to teleport.

 

And tomorrow was the day when Shin Yeon-hyung was transferred to the Ulleungdo Center.

 

***

 

Would you like to leave your name?

 

“No.”

 

Rrring!

 

Potion production succeeded!

 

You have successfully created a potion that is higher than your ability!

 

An interesting rumor goes into the herbalists of the potion industry.

 

˚

 

Poor material reduces effectiveness by 30%.

 

Gain additional options with good producer intervention.

 

˚

 

The reputation has increased significantly.

 

Skill proficiency has increased significantly.

“I succeeded!”

 

“Ho-hyun nim!”

 

Yeon Seung-yeon ran to me with open arms. Turning his shoulders, sneaking away from him, hurried to check the potion information.

 

“Argh!”

 

“Information on items!”

 

A translucent information window came to mind over Yeon Seung-yeon, who fell alone.

 

<Tears of Deadfall>

 

A tadpole with many dreams who wanted to be something different from now.

 

The dream was shattered by the arrival of a drought.

 

The resentment of hundreds of millions of dead tadpoles who died at the same time in the dried-up spring was met.

 

If you taste their bitter tears, you too…….

 

˚

 

– Effect reduced by 30%. Cannot cause permanent damage.

 

– There are two random effects among infertility, sexual dysfunction, and reproductive organ degeneration.

 

– Accompanied by Fantasy

 

It was a pity that the effect was reduced and permanent damage could not be done, but with additional options available instead, we managed to achieve the purpose.

 

“There you go. You’re dead, you bastard.”

 

Yeon Seung-yeon asked carefully as he clasped the potion bottle in his hand in excitement.

 

“Ho-hyun nim…”

 

“Why?”

 

“You said that, you will tell me what you made once we suc- succeed…….”

 

I looked at Yeon Seung-yeon, who looked weak, and the potion in my hand alternately.

 

Tears of Deadfall. Yeon Seung-youn.

 

Yeonsungyeon. Tears of Deadfall.

 

“Well…”

I just said I needed a potion for revenge, but I didn’t say what it was.

 

According to Yeon Seung-yeon’s psychology, he would have shed tears if she found out what he made with his own hands.

 

He shook his head avoiding Yeon Seung-yeon’s sparkling eyes.

 

“You don’t have to know.”

 

“Aaaaaaaaah. As expected, I asked a useless question…….”

 

I was worried about the shoulder that dropped in disappointment, so I approached and tapped it on the shoulder.

 

“Thank you, Seungyeon.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“What?”

 

Yeon Seung-yeon looked up at me with his fluttering eyes.

 

“Because I couldn’t make it without you. And not because it’s useless, but I’m not telling you.”

 

“Ho-hyun nim…”

 

“You trust me, right?”

 

“Yes! Of course!!”

 

I smiled at Yeon Seung-yeon, who nodded with his hands clasped together. I solved Yeon Seung-yeon. What’s left is how to feed Shin Yeon-hyung this potion…….

 

For a few days, I looked around Han Seo-jin and found out where Shin Yeon-hyung was being detained. The problem was, Han Seo-jin would never take him there.

 

“Seung-yeon ah.”

 

“What?”

 

“Is the center headquarters building’s wall high?”

 

“Wall… ? There is no… Why are you asking about that all of a sudden……?”

 

Yeon Seung-yeon, who was looking suspicious at my question, soon shook his hand as his face turned white.

 

“Oh, no! Ho-hyun nim! You’re going to sneak in! And if you get caught…….”

 

“But you don’t have time, so what if you end up on Ulleungdo Island? You said you don’t have muscles? If you sneak out…….”

 

“What did you think of center security as, Ho-hyun! I can’t watch Ho-hyun walking into danger. I’m going to block you with my whole body……!”

 

Yeon Seung-yeon closed his eyes tightly, spread his arms and blocked the way. I snorted at the sight. Someone’s stopping someone. I feel like I’m going to fly away.

 

It was obvious that stubbornness would be annoying, so I roughly shook my hand and answered.

 

“Oh, all right. I won’t go.”

 

“Ho-hyun nim, you thought well!!”

 

I roughly patted Yeon Seung-yeon on the back, smiling brightly and hugging him.

 

***

 

I got off the shuttle and looked at the big building in front of me.

 

“Is this the center’s headquarters?”

 

For now, I came recklessly, but access was controlled from the main gate.

 

Shin Yeon-hyung is located in the ward on the third basement floor. I was told that he was still in a private ward because he complained of pain from the spray that hit him, but Han Seo-jin said that he was doing a show to reduce his sentence.

 

How can I sneak in? Looking around, I saw a convenience store truck entering the back of the building.

 

“……Ah, I’m thirsty.”

 

He moved there with an air of indifference.

 

It was a good choice to infiltrate the way logistics came in. I was able to easily enter the building thanks to Yeon Seung-yeon’s tip, overshadowing the terrifying scare.

 

“Oh my gosh! You scared me! Why are you coming out of here!! I almost lost my liver!”

 

“……sorry.”

 

Although it was the door to the convenience store warehouse…….

 

Fortunately, when he heard that I was lost, the owner of the generous impression willingly took me to the passage.

 

“I’m not originally this soft person…….to the point where I just let the suspicious guy out of the warehouse go. But you, student, are handsome so I’m going easy on you.”

 

“Thank you. I’ll repay you next time I see you.”

 

“What do you mean, if you come and buy something delicious…… Oh, you’re still a student, right? When you go back after this tour, study hard and join the center!”

 

“Well, I’ll think about it. Oh, it’s my party over there. I’ll get going.”

 

“Huh? Yeah. Come if you want to join the company! I’ll buy you a meal!”

 

Leaving the owner of the convenience store waving behind, I fell into the hallway to the next building.

 

“Let’s see. The way down to the ward…….”

 

As the building was so large, the areas were complexly divided by floor, so I had to find the right way on the first floor. I looked hard at the sign and found the way.

 

“Is it here?”

 

Luckily, there was no one guarding the entrance. It was time to sneak over the blocking rod and enter the dark and deserted hallway because the light did not turn on.

 

Before I knew it, I felt a weak feeling behind me. I looked back, shaking my neck because of the feeling of the soft hairs standing tall on my neck. There was no one in the empty hallway. I tilted my head and moved my foot again.

 

After walking for such a long time, I heard a strange sound and turned around, and something rolled toward me. I stopped wondering.

 

The ball, the size of a fist, stopped exactly under my feet, and its thin legs spread out and pressed themselves to the floor.

 

“……what?”

 

When I touched it with my feet, the hole above opened with a clanging sound, and the light shot straight at the ceiling. Instinctively, I took a step back, and a translucent gray system window came to my mind.

 

「<Toth’’s Eye> faces you. You’re caught in the eye and you’re restricted.」

 

“Item…?”

 

It was my first time hearing about it, but the items with the name of “~’s eyes” were items that dig up or detect something hidden. As it emerged from the system window, a golden line was drawn under my feet, leaving a spare moment. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get out of the line.

 

Someone’s here.

 

“Who is it?”

 

I looked around and shouted, but only the system window changed and moved from time to time.

 

「Waiting for Targeting…….」

 

「Targeting Settings – Item」

 

「Scanning begins.」

 

The laser-wide light started from my head and slowly swept down as if scanning me. The light touched my eyes, and I frowned unconsciously. I could see someone’s portrait in the dark in the distance.

 

‘What kind of guy is that?’

 

I stared at the side where he would stand with my lips open. My heart beat fast with anxiety. I don’t know what kind of item <Toth’s Eye> is, but there were more than one or two stab wounds. As expected, the light stayed at the waist, where the potion was placed, for a long time.

 

「<Toth’s Eye> detected an item.」

 

“……fuck.”

 

It was no different from taking a potion. Once the restrictions are lifted, I’ll go and see what kind of guy he is. Should I throw the potion first to get rid of the evidence?

 

The light was scanning the calves past the thighs and knees. As soon as it was over, something strange happened while I was thinking about whether to run away or go and destroy it. The light that reached the ankle suddenly began to blink like crazy.

 

“What? What’s wrong?”

 

Even when I shook my feet, the crazy flashing light did not fall off.

 

「<Toth’s Eye> item @#!&@#!&#!&#!&.」

 

「 Higher grade items cannot be detected.」

 

「<Toth’s Eye> has been neutralized by the presence of a higher grade.」

 

Along with the last system window, the light from “Toth’s Eye” disappeared and a popping sound was heard.

 

Gray smoke flowed from the charred item, and the line that was limiting me also disappeared. I immediately ran out and kicked ‘Toth’s Eye’ far away.

 

“There! Get out! What kind of punk!!”

 

Before shouting again, I heard footsteps approaching me in the distance in the dark. The sound is getting closer and the face that slowly appears…….

 

I opened my eyes wide and pointed my finger at the appearance that was hard to forget once I saw it.

 

“You, you crazy punk!”

 

It was Seong San-ha, the head of the Cheon Rang Guild.
