Murim Login Chapter 275

Chapter 275

‘You’re naive.’

The words I heard the other day won’t leave my head.

Sitting in the caregiver’s chair next to the bed, staring at the misting humidifier, I let out a thought that suddenly came to my mind.

“No, I am not naive.”

Moorim was a world where the term Dosan Geomrim (刀山劍林) was appropriate.

It’s normal to see blood, death is normal. Power is justice, and the one who survives is the winner.

Every time I witnessed the cruel side of the Murim, I thought of Hyundai.

Systematic welfare and law. people’s ethical consciousness. A world that has achieved a civilization that is incomparably superior to that of Murim.

But it’s wrong.

“I wasn’t naive, I was stupid.”

Murim people wear swords around their waists, but modern people hide daggers in their sleeves.

Monsters were not only inside the gate, but also outside.

Those who wear good clothes and a good image and command the forest of buildings.

Those who started revealing the dagger hidden in their sleeves are the monsters outside the gate.

‘Like Won Myung-hun.’

In the meantime, I thought it was too soft.

Even though he knew that the world was unfair and shitty, he couldn’t let go of his complacency.

Because it’s modern. It is a 21st century democratic society. Even though there will be a fierce fight to prove my ability, I thought that something like today would not happen.

‘The result is this.’

I stared at the sleeping Lim Kkeok-jeong. Both of his arms, which were severed below the elbow, were treated with a high-level healer’s recovery magic and advanced potion.

It won’t be too much trouble in everyday life, but… … Returning as a Hunter is difficult to guarantee. Because potions are not omnipotent.

‘What kind of bastard are you?’

Several thoughts swam in my cold head.

who and why For what purpose did the Black Hunter be sent?

Cutting Lim Kkeok-jeong’s arm could be a warning to stop at this point or a signal to start.

‘You’ll find out soon what that meant.’

I have no intention of waiting until then.

Me and Team Leader Choi.

“Please rest. mister.”

It was then that he covered Lim Kkeok-jeong with a disheveled blanket.

woo woo

The smartphone was illuminated in the dark with vibration.

A short text message. The sender is Team Leader Choi.

[To the guild house.]

As soon as I checked the text, I left the hospital. Deep in the morning, two people were waiting for me at the guild house after everyone had finished work.

“Ah, Jin Tae-kyung.”

“Come on.”

Team leader Choi and Song Song.

Deacon Kim, whom he had assumed would be there, was nowhere to be seen.

Team leader Choi, who noticed my gaze, opened his mouth first.

“You have been away for a while.”

“is it so?”

It was surprising that Deacon Kim, who had been standing by Choi’s side like a shadow, was gone, but that’s not the point now.

I was reluctant and got the point out of the way.

“Is there a problem?”

“Before I talk, I should at least have a cup of coffee… … Let’s look at this first.”

Instead of a cup of coffee, Team Manager Choi held out his own smartphone. The largest portal site in Korea was displayed on the screen.

When a long finger touched the internet article window, articles divided into each category appeared.

Among them, I scanned the article on the top row with my eyes.

[The judiciary kneels in front of the public’s fame. where is fairness

[United Party Choi Sang-won Yoon Seo-yoon,

“Death caused by an individual’s hasty actions. Won Myung-hoon should have been judged by the law.”

strong resentment… … .]

[Is it self-defense? Is it murder?]

Articles that decorated the political and social aspects. Only the name was not written, but it was clear who it was referring to.

“When did this come up?”

“An hour ago. But already with 100,000 views, there are over 5,000 comments.”

“An hour ago, it was about four in the morning.”

“It seems that netizens are more diligent than I thought. No, should I say part-time job?

“It’s fun.”

Team leader Choi said after taking a sip of the coffee that was as cold as the smile on my lips.

“There are even more interesting articles.”

“More here?”

“Go down a bit. It will be more than Taekyung expected.”

What Choi said was true. My finger, which was scrolling down, stopped involuntarily.

I stared at the bolded article title in silence.

[Pre-release of an exclusive interview with former colleague K.

“Famous Hunter J is an ugly human being.”

]

When I touched the article, a pre-release interview video of about 3 minutes appeared. After a 15-second advertisement for brand cosmetics, what filled the screen was a pot-bellied man in a suit.

A little mosaic was added to the face, but it was recognizable at a glance.

“under.”

When I realized the identity of the middle-aged man, no, ‘former colleague 13’, I laughed out loud.

A face so familiar. There was a human he thought he would never see again.

“I never expected to see you like this again.”

Song Songi, who was looking at the smartphone together over my shoulder, asked.

“Do you really know someone?”

“egg? I can’t help but know.”

“The relationship must have been bad enough to do such a crappy interview.”

“no.”

“Then were you friends?”

“That’s not it…”

What words should I use to express the relationship between that human and me? I pondered and opened his mouth.

“It was like a d!ck.”

”ah.”

No matter how you think about it, that word fits perfectly.

Our relationship was that bad. When I think of the things that have been intertwined up until now, it’s strange that there hasn’t been a knife fight.

While I couldn’t see it, I stared at the face that had grown even fatter.

‘Mr Common Sense. long time no see.’

Kim Sang-sik. The leader of the Picnic Guild.

When I was an F-class hunter, he was the one who urged the guild leader to fire me.

The last thing I ran into was when I stopped by the association for a rating review… … I’ll see you again like this

‘I heard that he was cut from the guild after that.’

Kim Sang-sik is a man who lacks ability and is full of greed. Contrary to his name, he lacks common sense, so he was fired after doing all kinds of stupid things.

It was clear that he was so synonymous with small people that he was inevitably grinding his teeth at me.

So, did you even film this interview?

‘Let’s hear some bullshit’

Just in time, the reporter’s question was starting in the video.

“I heard you have something to say about Hunter J, who has recently become famous. First of all, is it true that you are a former co-worker?”

Kim Sang-sik nodded with a serious face that didn’t suit him.

“It is an undeniable fact. Jin-tae… … No, because he was J’s direct supervisor.”

“Exactly?”

“He was a member of my team. After the gate accident two years ago, I became the team leader. I was also the one who notified J of his dismissal this summer.”

「Oops. Was there a reason?”

“It’s not just one or two reasons.”

After that, Kim Sang-sik poured out the reasons for firing me in a voice full of resentment.

Each one was a jewel-like bullshit, but the last question and answer with the reporter was worth saying.

“I was kicked out of the guild I had been in for over 20 years after being falsely accused of irregular employment, but firing J was not for any personal gain.”

“Are you saying there was another reason?”

“yes.”

There was a reason for releasing a pre-release video that was only 3 minutes long. Kim Sang-sik decorated the end with a spleen face like a martyr who saved the country.

“At the time of the mutation gate accident two years ago, J threw his teammates as prey for the monsters and escaped. In order to survive, he does not hesitate to do all sorts of ugly and dirty things…」

The words that followed didn’t even sound right.

I stared at it for a long time without saying a word even after the video ended with the subtitle saying that the full version of the interview would be released soon.

As if if you look at it like this, Kim Sang-sik will jump out of the screen.

It was Choi’s words that broke the heavy silence.

“How was it?”

Oh, how is it?

well. The back of my head tingles, and at the same time I laugh. The belly is bubbling and boiling.

“It’s very interesting, just like the manager said.”

“I laughed when I first saw it. Mr. K in the interview, no, Kim Sang-shik knows roughly what kind of person he is. the problem is… …

“The public won’t find it very funny.”

“Exactly.”

The comment window is already on the verge of being blown up.

I didn’t even have to look at the comments that exceeded 10,000 before I knew it. The best comment that received the most number of likes caught my eye.

(Best comment) I knew it would be like this. I couldn’t believe it when I heard it across the bridge, but it seemed like it would explode someday.

What kind of leg is that leg and what is it that explodes?

I don’t know what name it came from, but I’m glad it’s not in front of me.

If there was, at least the next chirashi would have been made to be heard across the Nether Overpass.

“What is this? I don’t think I need to see any more.”

I smiled and closed the comment window.

Upon receiving the smartphone, team leader Choi opened his mouth with his arms loosely folded.

“It is organized. It became clear that I had been targeting it from the beginning and sent the Black Hunter.”

“They are the ones who create public opinion for criticism.”

“Man is a creature. Once you start riding properly, it is not easy to keep your balance.”

“In the midst of this, there wouldn’t have been a single article about Mr. Kkeokjeong being attacked.”

“You know me well.”

“If you don’t know, you are sick. Did the investigative team in charge of the case say anything?”

Chief Choi shook his head slightly.

“Could it be that you’re in the same barrel?”

“There seems to be external pressure as well. The CCTV data is also in your hand.”

“Didn’t you say there were eyewitnesses?”

“All three have lost contact.”

That’s awesome.

Before I knew it, I heard the sound of bones snapping from my fists.

“This is coming in with so much determination.”

“It seems like the intention is to completely isolate them. The same goes for the interview video with Kim Sang-shik.”

This is not an interview with a third-rate media outlet that sells crap.

One of the top 10 major media outlets in Korea.

Even absurd nonsense will be well wrapped in wrapping paper and sent out plausibly, and in the process, reliability will be added with money and power.

For example… … Or the testimony of people who know me well.

“It’s been a while since I saw the faces of my old co-workers. Ah, it will be mosaic-processed, so is it hard to recognize?”

I asked Team Leader Choi, who was looking at me with unknown eyes.

“Why are you like that?”

“I remember Jin Tae-kyung as having a good reputation within the Picnic Guild.”

“We were friendly throughout. It’s a guild the size of a snot.”

“But why did you think that?”

“The thing that works well throughout is this, this, right?”

He pinched his thumb and forefinger and waved them.

In the end, shit. Money is everything.

For hunters who risk their lives to make money, the temptation is bound to come even greater.

“Maybe it’s because they were hit in the back of the head in a row, they’ve been doing well hahahoho for the past 7 years… … I can’t believe it.”

A few days ago, I might have naively trusted my old comrades.

But not now. The world where dreams, friendships, and common sense were already connected disappeared from my head.

“Looking at the articles on politics and society, it seems that some member of the National Assembly has put a lot of effort into it. Can’t you boil a few low-level hunters who struggle to survive?”

“It’s obvious. I’m the world’s killer, something like that, and I’m going to be hacked up on the internet. The image we’ve built up to this point is also reflected in our guild.”

Team leader Choi, who had been making a strange face the whole time, burst into laughter.

“It’s a little better. You know how to think of dirty adults.”

“Are you canceling the words you said you were naive yesterday?”

“I’ll see what you do from now on and decide.”

“yes?”

“You can’t keep your eyes open, can you?”

As he spoke, his finger pressed the screen of his smartphone. A person answered the phone with a ringing tone.

– I found it. tail.

Butler Kim’s low, soft voice came through the speaker.
