Chapter 222
Solo Leveling- Ragnarok
Korea was suffering from an untimely âserial murder caseâ.
âA report has been received!â
âalso? No, this kid doesnât even sleep? âYou donât even eat?!â 3
Decapitated corpses are found here and there day and night.
Report calls come to the association from time to time.
Because of this, the Hunter Association employees were having a hectic day.
âWhy on earth are you so eager?â
It wasnât really a fuss.
A world where serial killers are on the loose day and night, committing murder as a hobby.
But surprisingly, there was no confusion among citizens.
Rather, the prevailing reaction was a welcoming response and an atmosphere of support for the murderer.
-Hey! You did something today too!
-áá The news is late. You have already jumped 3 times today. 1
-Related article link) âVigilante Updateâ
-Hey! You really jumped 3 times!
â Busy, busy! modern society!
-You work hard. I respect you.
It had to be that way.
The bodies that were found were all either vicious villains or criminals worth dying for.
There were no exceptions.
Even if the body was not on the list of villains, when the investigation began, the criminal activities that were committed behind the scenes would be revealed without a doubt.
Day by day, it was being revealed that the criminal activities of unregistered villains who had not registered as hunters were
running rampant in the shadows.
In a way, it is natural that the popularity of a serial killer who searches for such people one by one mercilessly cut off their heads, and then suddenly disappear, is skyrocketing.
People were calling him âVigilanteâ. 4
There was a series of testimonies from citizens whose lives were saved thanks to Vigilante.
-Breaking News) âThank you to the person who saved me.â
-Interview video) âHe is the savior of my life.â
â Statement of conviction) âI hope you donât get caught until the end.â
-News) Vigilante! Korea is now a villain-free zone!
â Haha, a vigilante group that we only see in movies has appeared in our country.
-The police and association hunters will be upset, but itâs good because those who donât deserve to die are dead. 2
-Vigilante, I support you.
-222 Iâm rooting for you.
-Please become a righteous murderer today as well.
Thanks to this, only the police and the hunter association were frustrated.
âYouâre really saying crazy things!â
âIf itâs going to be like this, why is there a law?â
âDonât say anything, donât say anything.â âItâs a crazy world where serial killers are popular.â
The Republic of Korea was a country strictly ruled by law.
This act of ignoring the law and directly punishing criminals was clearly illegal.
There are serious crimes, and Vigilante was only resolving the punishment through murder.
Although the target of the crime is now limited to villains, no one can be sure when a Vigilante will suddenly start attacking good citizens.
âWell, still⦠⦠. âLike this comment, they are still only killing those who are worth dying for.â 1
âYou bastard! âIs that what comes out of our mouths?â
âS-sorry.â
âUse it.â
These were seniors who got into trouble with new recruits who were crushed after saying the wrong thing and were unable to get their money back.
âNo, why does no one know whatâs wrong with a guy who goes on a rampage like this?â
âYou couldnât see it because it was dark? Does that make sense? âItâs clear that they are hiding their identity just because they helped them!â
âFirst of all, it is clear that he has stealth skills. âIt doesnât make sense that they are going on a rampage to this extent and there is no footage of them being caught on CCTV.â
Hello.
Director Lee Se-hwan, who was leisurely watching the busy-looking employees from behind, leaned against the window with a cup of mixed coffee in his mouth. 2
Then I turned my gaze and looked out the darkened window.
â⦠⦠.â
The world was going crazy, but mixed coffee was still sweet.
After a cataclysm occurred around the world.
Every day was a battlefield for the associationâs employees because of the urgent incidents and accidents that came flooding in every day.
As I ran around so frantically, I got promoted, my salary increased, and I even became head of the division.
âI donât know the history of life.â
Life goes on in such a strange way.
It seems like only yesterday that I had to take the police exam, become a new detective, and follow my scary senior around to catch criminals.
â⦠⦠âIâve been thinking about that a lot lately.â
Criminals suddenly found dead?
I donât know why theyâre making such a fuss because itâs such a strange thing.
âIt was common in my time.â
In the past, many people even came to us and surrendered themselves, crying and begging for them to be
arrested.
They say that if you donât embroider, you too will be eaten or something.
â⦠⦠Hehehe. âThat was a truly romantic era.â
It was Director Lee Se-hwan who was reminiscing about the glory of the past when the arrest rate was ranked first in the country.
Hello.
Of course, if I say something like this out loud, Iâll be called old-fashioned.
Director Lee Se-hwan, who was just sipping coffee and sighing alone, was staring blankly at the glass door entrance, as was his habit.
As if waiting for someone.
His eyes gradually deepened.
This place, which was once the Central Police Station, was unusually incorporated into the Hunter Association when Woo Jin-cheol became the association president.
But only the signboard changed.
As he stared blankly at this place, the interior of which was still the same as before, faded memories that he had forgotten because he was too busy come to mind.
â⦠⦠Where on earth and what are you doing, brother?â
Itâs already been over 5 years.
A legend in the violent world who was a heavenly senior and colleague to Director Lee Se-hwan.
âDetective Sung Jinwooâ suddenly disappeared.
Looking back, all the moments he spent with him were the brightest and most brilliant moments during my detective career.
He missed those days terribly.
âIâm sure youâre doing well wherever you are, but could you please come back soon?â
Okay. There is nothing to worry about.
Because he was always a very curious person.
So when he suddenly disappeared, no one was too worried.
He firmly believed that he would have gone off to solve a case on his own, as always.
He did not doubt that one day, he would suddenly catch criminals like candy with a carefree face.
But itâs been like that for over 5 years.
He still hadnât come back.
Squeak-
â⦠⦠uh?â
For a moment, Director Lee Se-hwan could not believe his eyes.
Suddenly the door opened and a familiar face came inside.
Grab those guys who look tough at first glance like candy!
âHmmm, brother? no no⦠⦠!â
Suddenly he came to my senses.
Director Lee Se-hwan collected the words he had spoken in an instant, washed his eyes again, and looked at the other person.
Heâs too young to be Sung Jinwooâs older brother! 1
But that face⦠â¦!
They look so much alike that itâs hard to believe theyâre not brothers, huh?
âUh? âUh huh?â
âHello. My name is Sung Suho. I have something to report⦠⦠.â
âThatâs right!â
The associationâs employees couldnât help but be quite taken aback by the sight of Director Lee Se-hwan suddenly running towards Suho in a huff.
and.
Wow!
âHahaha! âYou are Suho!â
âHuh? yes?â
This time it was Suhoâs turn to be embarrassed.
Se-Hwan Lee was a colleague who had worked with Jinwoo Sung for a long time. He knew at least his sonâs name.
He also saw pictures from when he was young. Of course, it was his first time seeing him grow up like this.
As soon as he saw Suhoâs face, he couldnât help but burst into tears.
It was because his face overlapped with his fatherâs.
âOh, Iâm sorry. I am in charge. Huh. âYou are Sung Jinwooâs son, right?â
âDo you know my father?â
âI know. I was your fatherâs direct subordinate, you bastard! Hahaha!â
Director Lee Se-hwan released Suho from his tight embrace and introduced himself with a chuckle.
âI see. hello. âMy name is Sung Suho.â
It was Suho who suddenly met his fatherâs subordinate.
But if you think about it, it wasnât strange.
Just two years ago, this was the police station near the house where his father worked for a long time, and among the police officers there at that time, those who had awakened were assigned to the Hunter Association.
It was only natural that there were one or two people left who knew his father.
It was a bit of an awkward situation, but Suho first handed over the people he had caught to the association employees.
âI caught them on the way. âI think he was a villain, but I guess they didnât kill him because he was a common criminal.â
âHmm?â
The association employees tilted their heads at the words, which had a strange meaning.
A little later, he noticed that the faces of the villains who were brought in by Suho were terrified.
After comparing their faces one by one, they were indeed wanted miscellaneous criminals, just as Suho said.
âBut why are these guys so scared?â
If you look at the faces of these guys, they donât look like villains, but rather like victims who barely survived the scene of a brutal murder.
âOh, and if you go to this address, there will be a few corpses. It must have been reported a long time ago, so check it out⦠⦠.â
âCould it be Vigilante?!â
Suho shook his head with a wry smile as he looked at the burdensome gazes that were focused on him at the same time, almost as if he was convulsing.
âIâm not sure about that either.â
I felt like it would be a hassle, so I drew the line.
âKira, this guy, how much have you messed up in the last few days?â
When he was sent out to hunt villains with Harmakan, the corpses were handled neatly, so it didnât become this big of an issue.
However, when Kira was left alone, he became a very famous person.
âWeâll see later.â
However, it was still ambiguous to criticize the mistake.
It seems like he was worried that he would be scolded later, so he only picked and killed the people he really wanted to kill.
These miscellaneous criminals who remained at the scene are proof of that.
âFor a moment.â
Suddenly he had an ominous feeling.
âCould it be in India?â
Kira is now in India.
There, as per your original orders, you will hide in Rio Singhâs shadow and follow him around.
Rio Singh decided to remain in India for the time being to sort out the situation.
He also sent other shadow soldiers in the shadow of Liu Zhigang, who returned to China with the promise of a better future.
In this way, shadow soldiers had to be spread throughout the world whenever the opportunity arose, so that whenever and
wherever traces of foreign religion were discovered, they could be immediately dispatched through shadow exchange like this time.
However, looking at the situation, it seemed unlikely that Kira would remain calm in India.
âWell, I guess Iâll figure it out.â
I had no intention of stopping him as long as he kept the line.
It was an established belief in the Hunter industry that for every villain lost, the lives of 100 innocent people could be saved.
Of course, this is also something I heard from Kira.
âAnyway.â
Kira took his mind off work, and Suho brought up the real purpose of coming here.
It was fortunate that the person who was my fatherâs subordinate seemed to be a high-ranking person.
Suho glanced at the name tag hanging around Director Lee Se-hwanâs neck and formally introduced himself.
âDirector Se-hwan Lee, let me introduce myself again. I am Hunter Sung Suho, the representative of the Woojin Guild. âThe reason I came here was because of other business.â
Stop.
â⦠⦠what?â
Director Lee Se-hwan, who was just happy to see Suhoâs face because he looked like his father, his expression hardened the moment he heard Suhoâs words.
âYou are the representative of Woojinâs guild?â
Ah, this makes a different statement.
Director Lee Se-hwan looked at Suho again and Lee Chae appeared in his eyes.
I realized it a little late because I was overjoyed.
Come to think of it, this guyâs name is âSung Suhoâ.
âAnyway, really⦠⦠. âI wonder if itâs someoneâs son.â 1
He burst out laughing.
