Chapter 18
Episode 18 [Is your studio a little big? ]
A few days later.
Jinhyuk entered the restaurant and shouted loudly when he saw the woman. Kyung-hoon followed behind and greeted the lady.
“Ma’am, we’re here!”
“It’s been a while since Hyuk was a bachelor.”
“Haha, sorry. I’m busy with work.”
Jinhyeok scratched his head as the lady said,
“It’s good to be busy. Is that always the case? “Is it the same for Kyung-hoon’s bachelor?”
“Yes, please don’t eat dinner.”
“okay.”
When the two people sat down in the empty seats, she shouted inside.
“Honey, Hyuk and Kyung-hoon are bachelors. Please enjoy it.”
There was a ‘thud’ sound coming from the kitchen. That was the answer from the owner, who spoke little.
When the lady left, Jinhyuk spoke first.
“I heard you had a hard time.”
“Did you hear?”
“Yes, I heard it yesterday. “The news is late.”
Jinhyeok sighed.
“I wasn’t able to hear from you because I was on an operation.”
“That’s why you asked to meet me?”
Jinhyuk looked a little sorry at Kyunghoon’s words.
“It’s okay.” The team leader even poked me in the side to ask.”
The team leader still didn’t seem to have forgotten Kyung-hoon.
“So what happened? I heard there was a mutant human who went crazy too.”
“No, did you hear all that? What happened to your security? “They made all kinds of threats to me.”
“Well, since we were working together inside, we could hear everything. Besides, it seems that there is a limit to slow blocking. “The Internet is a mess these days.”
As he said, the Internet has been noisy ever since the terrorist attack. Experiences were pouring in from all over, and various conspiracy theories and scams were going crazy. In the meantime,
Kyung-hoon was also doing more than his part. Kyung-hoon
told Jin-hyuk that government officials I told him again the story I told him.
Although it was a threat and all, I was planning to tell Jinhyuk everything anyway. Of course, it wasn’t the real truth, but…
Jinhyuk, who heard the story, narrowed his eyes and looked at Kyunghoon. He had a question. Unlike the civil servants who did not know him, he did not seem to believe Kyung-hoon’s words.
“You said you just followed him around and watched?”
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like anyone noticed that he was an awakened person.
“No, what can I do when there are monsters like that running around? It’s amazing that I worked so hard to chase them down.”
“Well, it wouldn’t be wrong if the dead hunter became as strong as the mutants, but if it was the older brother I know, I think he would have saved at least a researcher.”
Kyunghoon shook his head strongly.
“Absolutely not.”
That was absolutely not the case. The researcher survived well on his own. No, he didn’t just survive…
Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue and shook away the thoughts that came to mind.
Jin-hyuk raised his hand in strong rejection.
“Yes, yes. Since you said so, this time too. Something like that…” As
Jinhyuk stepped away, Kyunghoon asked a question this time.
“Then where have you been so you haven’t even heard the news?”
“It went up north.”
“North Korea?”
Jinhyuk waved his hand.
“Oh, no way. I worked with soldiers. I was close to the GOP, so I couldn’t even call you.”
“Are you involved in what the soldiers are doing? All you have to do is hit them with firepower. “Do you need your team?”
Jinhyeok nodded at Kyunghoon’s words.
“That’s true. Like I said earlier, it looks like they’ll be revealing it little by little. It seemed like they were researching ways to cooperate here and there.”
“So, are you good at catching them?”
“That’s funny. The higher-ups liked our method better. They complained that if the soldiers caught them, there wouldn’t even be a body left.”
Kyunghoon shook his head.
“Why did you throw firepower instead of pushing people in?”
“It looks like there was a serious accident while doing that. Everyone was hissing, but seeing as there was even talk of a star flying away, it must have been a joke.”
They were two people who briefly remembered something from the past. They both sighed.
“Anyway, you’re having a hard time too.”
“What are you going to do, brother? You’ve probably gotten used to them.”
“I got into that situation on my first hunt, so are you saying that again?”
Gyeong-hoon glared at
Jin-hyuk. “You’re not the kind of person to shy away from something like that. But seeing how things are going, I think it’s quite frustrating for you. The hunters also gave up their hands. “It seems like we’re in trouble because there are so many people. It might be a good idea to wait a bit first.”
While the two were talking, food was served. As she placed a full plate of food, the lady said, “I
guess you have a lot to say. Since the food has been served, let’s talk while eating.”
“Wow, that’s a lot. You know how much I love the food here, right?”
“Can’t that guy even see his nose?”
“Haha, I’ll come often.”
“You don’t have to come often. It’s better to be busy.”
At her words, Kyung-hoon looked around the store. Even though it was meal time, the inside of the store was a little deserted.
“But there are few customers. What’s going on?”
She sighed as she saw Kyung-hoon looking around the store.
“I’m in a bad mood because there were strange rumors about something that happened a while ago. It’ll calm down after a while.”
“What’s going on?”
“Not long ago, there was a mass death of cats and dogs in the factory complex over there. That day, a government employee’s car passed by and it was noisy.”
Kyung-hoon and Jin-hyuk looked at each other. It was a story related to the two people.
“It looks like they cleaned up everything, but there are rumors that there is a cat ghost, and that you can hear the cat meowing at night. Anyway, the atmosphere is not good. So. “They don’t want to come this way.”
It was a dark rumor in an ordinary city. It was difficult to help, and as she said, she just needed time.
“Because of that, the people who have been fighting over the factory complex for several years have become ridiculous. It seems like things got even more complicated because the owner of the factory where the incident occurred just gave up and abandoned the factory. “I put it on sale for a cheap price, but I don’t know who will buy it.”
“Do you know how much that factory cost?”
The lady grinned at Kyung-hoon’s question.
“Surely the bachelor Kyung-hoon is going to buy it?”
It was meant as a joke, but the answer was no joke.
“Yes, I think it’ll be okay as long as the price is right.”
“You’re buying it?”
It wasn’t just the woman who was surprised. Jinhyuk also opened his eyes wide and looked at Kyunghoon.
“No, was your brother that rich?”
“What are rich people like?”
The two parted ways immediately after eating. Kyung-hoon left the curious Jin-hyuk behind and headed to the real estate.
The real estate agent looked Kyung-hoon up and down with a puzzled expression, but he had no reason to reject the buyer.
“The boss offered it for 700 million won. Unfortunately, it will be difficult for this factory complex to receive small business loans.”
However, I just said that if it doesn’t make money, don’t even think about it.
Kyunghoon laughed to himself. I only have about 400 million in hand right now, but I was able to easily make more than 700 million.
“Let’s look at the item. If I like it, I will sign a contract right away.”
A sparkle appeared in the eyes of the real estate agent who was speaking indifferently.
“Please wait a moment. “I will take you right away in my car.”
He lowered his head nearly 90 degrees and quickly ran outside. He went into the next store and asked for help.
“Mr. Kim, please take a look at this store.”
“Oh, is there a guest?”
“that’s right. “Hogu… no, it’s a big deal.”
“Really? If it goes well, I’ll give it a try.”
Thanks to his strengthened ears, he could hear whispers from the store next door. Smiling, Kyung-hoon headed to the factory complex with the real estate agent who returned immediately. The factory had been neatly cleaned out. Although it had been demolished, it still had the same
atmosphere as a factory, but upon closer inspection, it looked like it could be repaired. There weren’t many places.
“You won’t be able to find this kind of product in Seoul. Transportation is good, and once the factory complex starts operating again, it’s easy to cooperate with other factories…” Kyung-hoon was talking excitedly next to him, but he was a real estate
agent. Instead of listening to his words, he just shed tears.
At that time, a middle-aged man strode into the factory. He looked quite tired, but the impression wasn’t bad.
“Is there anyone who wants to buy it?”
“Ah, boss, you’re here.”
The real estate agent ran to the middle-aged man. He seemed to be the owner of this factory.
“This is Oh Yong-jun.”
He held out his hand towards Kyunghoon. Kyung-hoon also held his hand.
“This is Kang Kyung-hoon.
He looked at Kyung-hoon and nodded.
“I was going to stop you if you came to run the factory, but I’m glad you did.”
“president!”
The real estate agent’s startled voice echoed through the factory.
“It will be difficult for the factory complex here to start operating again. “Everyone was excitedly fighting for redevelopment, but everyone who wanted to run the factory had already sold and left.”
He continued speaking with a bitter expression.
“I’m the only one who’s held on just in case.”
He told the whole situation despite the real estate agent’s dissuasion.
“I was planning to sell it to the locals before auctioning it off anyway, so I need to know it properly before I buy it. My money will be tied up for more than a few years until it is redeveloped.”
He seemed to view Kyung-hoon as a real estate investor.
“So we can’t use the factory itself?”
“That’s not true, but wouldn’t the complex itself be dead and useless? Links between factories are impossible. There are no restaurants or anything. The access roads are all destroyed.”
The factory owner looked at Kyung-hoon with a suspicious expression. ‘Are you really planning on running a factory?’
But Kyung-hoon actually liked the situation he was talking about.
A factory alone in an empty factory complex. There was no better way to ensure security.
“Let’s make a contract. If I pay in cash, will you give me a discount?”
Yongjun made a bewildered face.
The contract was concluded immediately. The deposit was handed over and the balance was to be paid as soon as the document process was completed.
Unfortunately, there was no discount in cash.
After completing the pre-contract, Kyung-hoon called a builder and got an estimate for factory repairs.
It felt like it was a little bigger than expected, but Kyung-hoon decided to proceed with the repairs immediately after taking over the factory.
Now, progress in work was more important than small amounts of money.
That night. Kyung-hoon started experimenting with chemistry again in his room.
‘This is my last time here.’
The next homemade bomb would be manufactured in the newly acquired workshop.
The new studio was very well located.
It was nice to be alert and I didn’t have to feel the gaze of those around me. Moreover, there were bad rumors, so even if something strange came out, it could be buried.
It was perfect for not only modifying bombs and weapons like today, but also studying items brought from over there.
Moreover, since I had a space-expanding backpack, I didn’t have to worry about my items being caught.
After making the bomb and taking a short sleep, Kyung-hoon created a hole in his room.
“Creating a dimensional corridor.”
Woah.
A black hole was created in the middle of the room where the early morning sun shines.
‘Next time, I have to move from the factory.’
There was a need to build multiple doors. This was something he clearly realized during the last dimension shift.
Kyung-hoon checked the Internet one last time. Now the rumors have gone beyond control.
[Adventurer A]
[This mutation is a lizard-shaped mutation. . With a mutation that changes color…]
┗What the adventurer said is the truth.
┗It’s a seed of interest. It has to be plausible to believe it.
┗Look at the water above. If the adventurer is lying, then this whole mess is over. Are you sure?
┗Honestly, compared to other people, the adventurer’s words are more consistent.
┗Ah, I don’t believe it.
There were numerous comments on the post he posted. At first, he went from being someone who posted nonsense to now being the center of this issue.
Kyung-hoon wasn’t planning on posting any more. If the tail is long, it gets stepped on.
Kyung-hoon turned off the cannon phone and put it in his backpack. After checking the house one last time, he put his backpack on and jumped into the hole.
