Civil Servant HunterâS S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 157
Episode 157
âSeong Ja-rim, how many floors did the labyrinth open on that planet you were on?â
â10th floor. âWe managed to block it all the way to the 9th floor, but the damage was so severe that it couldnât hold on to the 10th floor and eventually collapsed.â
âDid you say that the shape of the inside of the labyrinth is different for each planet?â
âWell, thatâs usually the case.â
âcommonly? So youâre saying there are similar cases?â
âIâm not sure because Iâve only seen Baskarâs case in person.â
Of course it was a lie. But I couldnât talk about the 9th or 10th floor yet. If other people find out in advance, confusion will increase.
âI must report this to the WDO immediately. âIt was only a few hours ago that I was happy about the key, but now I have to share this sad news.â
âIf a dungeon featuring gods appears in the future, a lock will be needed rather than a key. âThatâs a little disappointing.â
âNo, itâs still much better than falling into someone elseâs hands. Good job Seo Ra-ya. âWDO is preparing compensation. Please wait a moment.â
âyes.â
âItâs late today, so Iâll just go home and take a day off tomorrow. âTell Yoo Ji-hyuk to rest as well.â
âthank you.â
Seo-raâs face brightened as she was given leave as a privilege of the president of the association.
Seong Ja-rim and Seo-ra came out of the association presidentâs office. The president and director of the association will take care of complicated matters. After all, in places like this, the higher your rank, the more work you do. If I was going to continue working at the association anyway, I wanted to bury myself in the lowest position.
âBut Seong Ja-rim. âWhy did you lie?â
Seo-ra asked as soon as she got into the elevator to go to the parking lot. Seong Ja-rim widened his eyes.
âuh?â
âYou lied earlier when the president of the association asked whether the shape of the labyrinth was different for each planet. âDo you think I donât even know youâre lying?â
Song Hanna and Do Jun-young didnât notice, but Seo-ra, who was close to Seong Ja-rim, did. At that time, Seong Ja-rim clearly lied.
âIsnât it different on each planet? âIs there something similar?â
âuh? âDidnât I tell you?â
Seong Ja-rim made a puzzled expression.
âwhat?â
âWell, everything up to the 8th floor is different, but only the 9th and 10th floors are the same for all planets. â¦Didnât I tell you this?â
âI didnât!â
It was my first time hearing this. All I could say was that the 9th and 10th floors were terrible. This was the first time I had heard of such a thing.
âThen you only told Kang Se-jun. âIâm sorry, I thought I told you that too.â
Seong Ja-rim thought she knew about the 9th floor just because she heard from Kang Se-jun, but thatâs not true. She knew about it from the beginning.
Seong Ja-rim looked at Seo-ra in bewilderment and scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.
âThe labyrinth is ultimately a dungeon connected to another planet, so it opens up something different. But not the 9th and 10th floors. It doesnât open a door to another dimension, but becomes a passage through which something from the outside comes through. So all planets are the same.â
The 9th floor of a labyrinth that scares even Kang Se-jun and Seong Ja-rim. And the 10th floor of the labyrinth that puts planet Baskar on the road to destruction.
That is the passage through which external things flow into this land. My head pounded as I was faced with an unexpected truth.
âAre you saying there will be a labyrinth breakoutâ¦?â
âhmm. Thatâs a bit different, too⦠Well, monsters are pouring down on the ground, so it can be said to be similar in some ways.â
âWhy donât you tell me such an important story!â
âDidnât Kang Se-jun tell you? There will be people who take that as an opportunity. I think so too. âItâs more dangerous if you spread the word.â
âMonsters are pouring out, so how can you use that as an opportunity?â
âThere are people in this world who are willing to join hands with monsters. âJust like Baskarâs manager tried to kill me using the monsters released by Breakout.â
ââ¦!â
âThe manager was like that too, but is it any different for humans?â
Seong Ja-rim smiled strangely. It didnât look like he was in pain because of something from the past, but that made him feel even more sad. It seems like he has become aloof from such terrible events.
âIâm worried, but Iâm forgetting about it. Anyway, Kang Se-jun said he would reveal it once the news of flowering became known. And even if monsters appear, you have nothing to worry about.â
âKang Se-jun also said that. why?â
âThatâs because you have a system administrator. âNo one can mess with you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
ââ¦.â
Unlike Kang Se-jun, who did not know about the existence of the system administrator, these were Seong Ja-rimâs words, which he did know, so Seo-ra had no choice but to agree.
Seo-ra got into the car and sighed. I had no idea what on earth was going to happen in the labyrinth.
âah.â
Just as I was about to leave, the watch on my wrist rang. It was a call from Baek Hee-won. Why is there someone Iâve never contacted before? Seo-ra took her hands off the steering wheel and answered the phone.
âYes, Baek Hee-won.â
âSeo-ra Yoon. Where are you now?
âThe association. why? âWhatâs wrong?â
Baek Hee-wonâs tone was quite urgent. My heart was pounding because these were her words that had special power, not someone elseâs.
âWhere has your brother gone?
But I never thought you would ask me this.
Seo-raâs face became cold. Seong Ja-rim, who was also listening to the call, also opened his eyes wide.
âMy brother. âWhat happened to my brother now?â
âTo be precise, I canât see his whereabouts. Have you ever been in a dungeon?
Baek Hee-wonâs words were accurate. Currently, Jaeheon Yoon had gone to investigate a special dungeon in India at the request of WDO.
âyes thatâs right. But what do you mean by invisible?â
âEven if you enter a dungeon, your presence doesnât disappear. The gate that connects that place with this land is open, so I can vaguely see it. I donât know exactly, but I can confirm whether he is alive or dead. But Yoon Jae-heonâs energy suddenly disappeared. I think something happened.
Seo-raâs face became even harder. My hands gripped the steering wheel with great strength. Her energy fluctuated wildly, as if she would explode at any moment.
âBut heâs not dead. It feels different from that. So donât lose your mind and calm down.
As if he felt it, Baek Hee-won added.
Seora closed her eyes tightly. For a moment, my heart pounded like a person who had been between hell and heaven.
âIâll find out right away. âThank you for letting me know, Baek Hee-won.â
-what. This is natural.
Seo-ra hung up the phone and nervously bit her nails.
âWhat are you going to do?â
Seong Ja-rimâs face was also frozen. Even more so because I knew how obsessed Seo-ra was with her remaining family after losing her parents.
Seo-ra, who was unable to answer and rolled her eyes, suddenly called somewhere. The name that appeared on the screen was âOppa Across the Earthâ.
âYoon Jae-heon? âI heard you went into a dungeon?â
âI took out insurance just in case something like this happens.â
Before entering the dungeon, Jaeheon Yoon always leaves his cell phone with a trustworthy person. I canât use it internally anyway, just in case Seora gets worried like I am now.
If something goes wrong, no one answers the phone, but if something goes wrong, someone is bound to answer the phone.
like now.
-grow.
My heart sank at the sound of the voice I heard after the phone call was cut off. This blunt, low voice belonged to Ali Russo.
âCaptain Ali?â
-okay. long time no see. Itâs already been a few months.
A greeting came back, but I didnât have the presence of mind to accept it. It wasnât long before Ali answered the phoneâ¦
âWhat happened to your brother?â
-I donât know.
âyes?â
âI donât know. Apparently, the raiding party went in with the gate stone, but not a single person came back from the dungeon. Your brother too.
Seo-ra hastily took his hands off the steering wheel. It felt like I would break it if I didnât do that.
âItâs a bit awkward to talk in detail over the phone. I was already trying to contact them, but the timing was perfect. Headbang I am formally requesting your cooperation. please help us
Seo-raâs eyes sank deeply. If it was related to Yoon Jae-heon, I planned to go even if Ali didnât ask for help. Even if Song Hanna tries to stop him, he will definitely go.
Seo-ra left the car and went straight back to the association presidentâs office. Seong Ja-rim followed behind with a worried face.
âChairman of the Association!â
When I opened the door and went in, I saw Song Hanna and Do Jun-young in a serious mood. While I hung up the phone and came up, it seemed that Ali had already contacted Hannah Song.
âWDO and Athena have officially requested collaboration solely from you, not Korea. But even Athena couldnât resolve it, so even if you goâ¦â
Song Hanna stopped speaking and touched her forehead. Both Yoon Seo and Yoon Jae Heon were precious nephews to her. It breaks my heart to send just one person to death, but to send another one to a place where one person is already in danger.
It was such a cruel choice.
âThey said the dungeonâs level was level 2, but looking at the situation, itâs closer to level 1. Like the dungeon that occurred in Gangneung, maybe there is a god inside it. âIt might be dangerous for you too!â
Hanna Song clenched her fists and tried to dissuade him with her mouth that never let go. But as expected, Seo-ra had no intention of listening.
âI know how worried you are. But the president of the association also knows. âEven if you stop me, I will go.â
Seo Ra-da ran directly from Taebaek Mountain to Cheorwon after hearing that Jae-heon might be in danger. Would it be any different if it were farther away than India?
Even if the manager tries to stop him from doing this, he wonât listen.
âI am going. âIâm going to the airport right now.â
These are the words of Baek Hee-won, who contacted me before Ali. That bothered me and made me anxious. I couldnât delay any longer.
âIf you receive an official request from WDO for something related to dungeon raiding, you can decide whether or not to accept the request based solely on your individual wishes. Especially L-class.â
âSeora-ya!â
It was an international treaty created when the WDO was created. This was to prevent the government from arbitrarily intervening in dungeon raids, which were directly related to world peace.
Because of this treaty, if Seo-ra agrees to go if requested, Song Hanna cannot stop her.
âPresident of the Association, thatâs enough. The president of the association did not send me to a deadly situation, but I ignored him and ran to save my brother. So donât feel guilty.â
Song Hanna was raised by her parents for over 12 years. This was Seo-raâs best for her.
In the end, Song Hanna covered her eyes and sighed.
