Chapter 48

[ who let the dogs out ]
Hwiiiiing-
The cold night wind swept across my face.
We were now on the roof of the building across from the Black Hound Guild building.
“Seeing it like this gives me new emotions.”
My old job where I worked like a slave from the age of 20 until I was 23 before returning.
Just looking at its current size, Black Hound was a larger guild than White House.
“The problem is that they were all raised by replacing superhumans.”
Hell started from the moment I signed the contract after being deceived by sweet words.
I worked 7 days a week, over 16 hours a day, and could not even dream of taking a vacation unless I was injured.
As I fought like that for three years, my knee condition got worse and worse.
Maybe I missed the rehabilitation period at that time and remained a mediocre superhuman for the rest of my life.
“…I was really stupid back then too.”
“Are you going to break that?”
The little boy looked next to me and asked. I guess my expression looked quite serious.
I shook my head.
“no.”
Now, I had no intention of destroying everything just to get revenge for what happened in the past.
It’s annoying and tiring, but
above all, there’s a better way.
“I plan to stop by often whenever I need to.”
I took the mask out of my pocket and put it on. The little boy followed me and put on a mask.
“let’s go.”
We flew through the sky and approached the Blackhound Building. Since I was using ‘stealth’, we were able to reach the building’s windows without being detected.
I took out the short sword from my arms.
Sssssssut.
A bluish sword energy formed on the blade.
A sword technique that has been refined to become even sharper due to the Breaking Heavenly Art.
When I lightly swung my sword
,
the tempered glass that could withstand bullets split apart like tofu.
When I pushed the cut glass inward and went inside, it was a dark hallway.
But there was no hesitation in my steps.
“This way.” I
knew everything about
how this building was structured,
where the surveillance cameras were installed, and
even the locations of important facilities .
*

Security control room inside the building.
Only one-fifth of the usual number of personnel stayed there.
The man who was looking at his cell phone instead of the surveillance camera sighed.
He was exchanging messages with his family who had gone to the shelter.
“Fucking unlucky. Being on duty at a time like this…”
Even if disaster strikes tomorrow, someone has to protect the guild.
That was the CEO’s order. And that ‘someone’ was mainly in the order in which Jjambap was pushed.
This was the reason why those who remained in the security control room could not help but be dissatisfied.
“What kind of crazy person would mess with this place?”
“I really need to quit quickly because it’s so shit.”
Of course, when society falls into chaos, looting and vandalism sometimes occur everywhere.
But that’s also about supermarkets and department stores. What kind of crazy person would mess with the headquarters of a large guild?
Considering the consequences, it would be better to rob the police station.
In addition, President Kim Soo-ho’s control of citizens was quite good, so the city was quite peaceful.
At that time, a man spoke with an anxious face. He was the newest among the people here.
“…The guild shelter is safe, right?”
When the disaster began, they planned to immediately move to the shelter in the guild’s basement. At least from then on you don’t have to worry about thieves.
The other men nodded.
“Even if a nuclear bomb falls, it won’t matter. “There’s an underground safe next to it.”
“What kind of person is our representative? “It will never collapse.”
“I’m dying of anxiety. Whether it’s a disaster or something, it’s better to start quickly…”
“Don’t lock the door, leave it open. “Once it starts, you have to fucking run.”
Those who remained in the security control room spent time soothing their anxiety by chatting.
None of them were properly monitoring the surveillance cameras.
Therefore, by the time someone discovered the abnormality, it was already too late.
“uh? How many infrared cameras were turned off?”
“What are you talking about. Why does the camera suddenly turn off?”
“I don’t know. “Why suddenly… I think the lens broke.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the large monitor in front.
Before their eyes, the surveillance cameras were turning off one by one, turning black.
Pick. Pick. Pick pick pick-
“What is this?”
“Call the security guards and tell them to go!”
Everyone was in a panic due to the sudden situation.
Meanwhile, the cameras were turning off one by one.
At that time, a man realized something that others did not and screamed.
“The direction the camera turns off is… this way! “Something is coming this way!”
At that moment, everyone’s complexion turned white.
“crazy!”
“What are you, a ghost?”
“Contact headquarters or the representative right away!”
But their response was too late.
Squeak-.
The door opened and an unfamiliar voice was heard.
“Stop moving.”
““…….””
The moment everyone turned to the direction the voice came from with frozen faces,
wheeee-!
The landlord rushed at them like a thunderbolt and knocked them all out with his blood sword.
“friends. “Sleep well until tomorrow morning.”
Daein took control of the security control room in an instant and sat down in the center of the room.
And I pressed the emergency alarm bell in the middle.
Weeeeeeeee!
A loud noise rang throughout the building and a red alarm light came on.
Daein picked up the microphone and made a broadcast to the entire building.
“emergency! An emergency has occurred! “An intruder has entered the CEO’s room!”
Soon, many people’s words poured in through the radio.
[What?!]
[Some crazy bastard!]
[You can’t miss that bastard!]
It wasn’t anywhere else, it was the representative office. Along with the underground safe, this is a place that should never be robbed!
Daein took advantage of the security guards’ sense of urgency.
“It appears that the opponent is not a superhuman! The number is four! “Go to the representative office of all remaining forces in the building!”
[Got it!]
[I’ll be there soon!]
Daein watched the security guards rushing away through the surveillance camera.
An evil smile formed on his lips.
“Move quickly, everyone.”
After a while, security guards with guns poured into the representative office. They were most of the remaining security guards in the building.
However, what they saw was a clean representative office as usual.
[what? Where is the intruder?]
[No one is there!]
At that moment, Daein pressed a button in the control room.
Coo! Thump thump thump!
The door to the representative office was locked and walls made of steel alloy came down from all directions, completely sealing off one floor.
Over the radio, the panicked voices of the security guards trapped in the room could be heard.
[What?!]
[Why is the wall suddenly coming down!]
[Control room! Control room! The door is locked! Open it immediately!]
The great man grinned as he looked at his confused state.
“Intruder captured.”
And he didn’t forget the sense of playing music in case the people trapped in the room got bored.
“Let’s see… this song is perfect.”
After a while, a cheerful song came out of the speakers throughout the building.
The song selected is Baha men’s Who let the dogs out
Who let the dogs out~
woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
Who let the dogs out~
woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
Leaving behind the exciting music that made people dance, Daein lifted up the back of Lily, who was eating snacks left on the table.
“Stop eating and let’s go.”
Lily, who was holding a popcorn cookie in one hand, asked.
“What song is this?”
At that time, music flowed from the speakers again and
who let the dogs out~
woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
Daein smiled mischievously and sang along with the Korean pronunciation.
“When I’m depressed, I poop~ Ooh! right! right! right!”
Lily, who now understands almost all simple Korean, frowned.
“Are you going to poop?”
“When I’m depressed~”
“It’s dirty! don’t do it!”
The two people bickered and headed to the underground safe.
There was nothing blocking the two until they reached the underground vault.

-Quaaaaaaaaaa!
After breaking the safe door and walking inside, the brilliant interior of the safe was revealed.
“Wow…”
A space measuring about 100 pyeong was divided into several rooms.
A room piled high with gold bars, a
room displaying expensively traded monster body parts, and
even a room storing otherworldly items whose purpose is yet to be determined.
I clicked my tongue as I looked around the room full of gold bars.
“You always say that guild management is difficult…”
It was a huge amount of gold, but I didn’t feel like I had to take it with me.
Because the money I will earn in the future is much more than this.
Besides, disposing of stolen goods is quite a hassle.
I can’t ask my secretary to do it.
At that time, the little boy showed interest in gold bars.
“Can I just take a few of these?”
“What do you do with it?”
The little boy said with a look that asked if he was asking something obvious.
“Are you going to buy chicken?”
At that moment, he ran to a chicken restaurant, handed out a gold bar, and said, “Give me some chicken!” The image of the little boy shouting came to mind and I shook my head without realizing it.
“The owner of the chicken restaurant is going to collapse from overwork while frying chicken. no.”
“Just one thing…”
“I know it won’t work if it doesn’t work out.”
I took the little boy who couldn’t let go of his regrets and left the room full of gold bars.
Next, I took a quick look at the room where the monster body parts were, but there wasn’t anything useful.
“I guess I’ll have to take care of Bingryong’s fangs today.”
We headed to the room where we last collected otherworldly items. Bingryong’s fangs were kept there.
“found.”
When I opened the specially made ice box, I saw a glass case full of frost inside.
Ssuk suk.
When I wiped the frost off the glass, I saw something that looked like an icicle about 30cm long.
[Bingryong’s Fang]
It was a secret weapon against the fire giant inside the core gate.
I took the glass case out of the icebox and put it in my arms.
The chill was quite strong, but it was bearable after practicing the Pacheonshingong.
“Shall we go back now?”
It’s a shame that I don’t have anything more worth taking care of, but I still accomplished the most important goal.
At that time, the little boy pointed to one wall with his finger and said.
“Aren’t you going there?”
“huh?”
“There’s a lot of magic power over there?”
Since the kid had a much higher sensitivity to magic than me, I didn’t pay attention to what he said.
“Stay back for a moment.”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I converted the watch on my left hand into a gauntlet and punched the wall.
-Quaaaaaang!
The wall collapsed, revealing a secret space hidden inside.
When I saw inside, I whistled.
“Hwiyu~”
A warehouse was filled with magic stones. The number was well over a thousand.
“The real treasure is here.”
In fact, the magic gemstone was not very useful right now.
This is because the technology has not yet been developed enough to utilize magic stones properly.
However, in just a few years, magic stones were a new energy resource that would replace most energy.
Black Hound also anticipated this and collected this much magic stones.
The value of the magic stones here is more than the gold bar we passed through.
Besides…
I smiled brightly as I looked around at the magic stones filled in the warehouse.
“What kind of feast is this?”
Just like the gold bars, it was impossible to carry this large amount of magic stones.
But there was no need to carry this.
I said, looking at the gauntlet on my left hand.
“Are you hungry too?”
Wooooow!
The gauntlet vibrated as if in response.
For this guy who even ate the soul stone, the magic stones here were nothing more than a snack.
Sssssssut.
When I lightly waved my arm, all the magic stones in the warehouse turned into dust and were absorbed into the gauntlet.
And after a while
!
The plain claws of the gauntlet changed to sharp points.
“…It doesn’t change much. I guess I have to eat some soul stones to move on to the next level.”
Although I was curious about the next step of the gauntlet, I was definitely planning on taking the next soul stone.
From Bingryong’s fangs to magic stones.
On this day, I returned with a generous bonus from my old job.
The next day the disaster began.
