Crazy Talented Ex-Villain

Missing Person (1)

The terrain around Cheongju was quite tricky.

Based on Gaecheon in the north, the plain spreads for about 20 kilometers, but everything else is surrounded by mountains.

And many of them are wild, untouched by humans. Vegetation, reeds, and soil that cannot be found on roads made it difficult for vehicles to move.

So we had to walk to the first village using only our two feet.

Worse still.

Snowflakes fall from the sky.

It’s so fragile that it crumbles before it even touches the skin… It looked just right for turning the ground into mud.

Less!

“Child… … .”

In the midst of this, Dayoon Kim, who was one step ahead of me, struggles with thorn bushes.

The pads on my elbows got caught in the vines.

Even if it hadn’t been engraved with platinum decorations, it wouldn’t have been badly tangled.

I sigh and reach out my hand. Unscrewing the armor part was a bad idea, so I pulled out the entire stem.

Then, with an unusual sound, yellow ooze poured from the severed part.

“Replace the guards as soon as the mission is over. It is a polluting plant.”

“Is it dangerous?”

“It’s more difficult than dangerous. If the seeds in the bodily fluid penetrate the skin, it will take two months to fully heal.”

“… yes. thanks.”

For a while, my eyes widened at the series of explanations.

When he added that if he was really anxious, even burn his inner skin, his uneasiness faded.

I don’t know since when you trusted my words so much, but it seems like what I did in Paju the other day wasn’t in vain.

Suddenly, a dog barking sounded from far away.

“Break! I’m sorry… … .”

A series of faint noises hit the back of my ears.

The rustling of the bushes, the screams of injured dogs, and the que-ex-weird cries were added.

It is not difficult to judge the situation.

It must be a sub-species of monsters, since their cries are not clear, and since the four search dogs were not exterminated, they are a single entity.

just as expected.

The content spread through wireless earphones was similar.

[Based on A1C, a monster appeared 250 meters ahead. It is a single entity, and according to the video, it is presumed to be a Class 9 subspecies. In the current situation, it is impossible to use satellite information, so please be careful when dealing with it.]

[A1C, received.]

A1 refers to the SG 4th assault force, and C means the person in charge. Soon, the hairy engineering leader raised his shield and stepped forward.

“A1, prepare for battle. B1 and 30 others stand by at the rear.”

While the mercenaries fall back and the SG Corps members take their positions.

He selects a suitable tree trunk and strikes it down with a hammer the size of a head.

thump, thump, thump.

With a height of 2 meters, the whole body is also muscular.

There was no reason not to break down a mere tree trunk, but limited blows only crushed the bark of conifers.

It is to lure monsters.

After a while, the injured search dogs return, and shortly after, the ground trembles and hideous faces are revealed.

Height is about 2.5 meters.

The muzzle was torn apart to match the elongated head, and the flesh and blood clots clung to the teeth and claws, giving it an unpleasant feeling.

Arieto, aka a subspecies of the headbutt monster.

“A1, wait!”

In case the new students step forward, the engineering commander spits out an unnecessary command and rams a square shield into the ground.

It’s because the monster who scraped the floor rushed head-on.

At first glance, it looked like a battering ram by sticking its head forward and jumping in.

However, there were differences from Arieto in a few areas, such as the sharp protrusion on the forehead and the half-grown forepaws.

More than anything else, it had poor durability.

thud!

The man, a tanker and engineering leader, was pushed away as if sliding a distance of two or three steps.

The monster’s shock power was mitigated through the jewels on the shield and personal skills, so it didn’t seem to have suffered much damage at a glance.

On the other hand, Arieto Subjong stumbled as soon as he took his head off the shield.

Soon after, he hit the top of his head with a heavy hammer, smashing his chin to the floor.

Naturally, it is time for the ranged dealers, so when I approach the tank considering the throw angle, I pour firepower from the side damage dealers.

no.

In fact, it wasn’t poured, but it was killed neatly without waste.

The moment when the support-type engineering team member applied a debuff with a technique that looked like [Gravity Control] or [Upper Intermediate Telekinesis], and the main one-deal shot a piece of metal with [Electromagnetism].

A melee guy approached and stuck a blade into his head.

Although the opponent is a 9th grade subspecies, it was very impressive.

“A1C, single object removal complete. We will resume operations after replacing the search dogs.”

[Received.]

There are no gaps in the follow-up.

A support system engineering member takes out a neutralizer and hands it over, and Geun-Dil sprays it on the blade to remove any contamination factors.

From the beginning to the end, they worked well together without saying a word.

And this series of… It was great.

It was like it meant that there would be less work for me to do.

However, Da-yoon Kim’s opinion may have been different from mine, and her big eyes filled with anxiety.

It seemed to bother me that there was no time to be active.

＜That’s not it, you’re looking at the dog.＞

“… dog?”

＜It must be heartbreaking to be injured.＞

The parrot’s argument is false.

Since she has arrived in her second year of dispatch, she must have experienced quite a few circumstances.

Of course, I understand the extent to which the lives of people and animals are exchanged.

“Are you going to send it back like this?”

“Then shall we take him to the fort?”

“… … .”

This time the tide won.

“A dog is just a dog. If you go back to training, you will live, if not, you will die. If you don’t like that, you can take the lead and go through it. Satellite support is impossible, so we have to do it with manpower.”

While the AD dealer, who appears to be in his mid-thirties, gives bitter advice and advice, the mercenaries prepare three additional search dogs and look sideways.

Inside the barrier, he may be praised for being benevolent, but from the outside, it’s just a good excuse to be laughed at.

It was just a matter of revealing a clumsy mindset.

“Have you attached the harness?”

“Yes.”

“How many search dogs are left?”

“Nine.”

But anyway, the engineering chief pretends not to hear anything and places a thick index finger on the earphones.

It looks quite different from when I ate at the road station.

“Operations controller, this is A1C. FT One to three. Please check the status of the camera.”

[A1C, checked whether it works.]

“I also ask for the remaining distance to the target point.”

[About 1.5 kilometers left.]

I was extremely satisfied with this.

Because a good person wasn’t a good colleague.

＜In that respect, I would say that Yongsu is a very outstanding colleague.＞

I ignored the birdsong.

* * *

Around 4:00 PM, the group entered the first village.

The population was estimated to be over a thousand, and cultivated fields were lined up around the wooden mansion.

In addition, a wooden fence was placed around the outskirts of the village, and although it was poor, it seemed to be helpful in fending off low-level monsters.

what.

It seemed paradoxical to think that the northern dwelling had built a stone house because they could not afford to erect a single wooden pillar.

However, what is more important than the environment of the village is gathering information.

I had just been dragged into the village chief’s house by the engineering chief.

The request to be a face madam was not a joke.

＜That’s because the prediction was right. As soon as he confirmed your presence, he opened the door right away… … . I will also carry the country by my side.＞

“… … .”

＜You’d better admit the reality. You’re living a second life, as superstar Lee Yong-soo.＞

It didn’t matter as long as I didn’t spit out the parrot’s chatter, so my interest soon shifted to the conversation between the engineering chief and the village chief.

The opinions of locals were much more credible than brief briefings.

“It was the northeastern village where the change first started. About five months ago, there were rumors that the number of missing people had increased. However, I thought it must be because this is a normal place.”

“It spread all over.”

“Yes. As far as I remember, it has increased dramatically since three months ago. In an instant, the news from the villages near the mountains was cut off, and the flatlands gradually became noisy. They say that they are children and adults and have disappeared without a cover. What’s strange is that drops of blood remain even if wild beasts eat them up… They say they couldn’t find a single trace.”

“What is the source of the news?”

“that’s… … .”

When a slight hesitation appears on the old man’s face, the engineering chief puts on a gentle expression.

He said that he did not come to investigate, and he would cover the camera if he was nervous, so he pressured him to write it down.

yes.

I didn’t say it wrong.

Instead of solicitation or suggestion, he applied pressure.

He hid his swanky personality behind his bushy beard.

“… I heard from the broker. They are the ones who go back and forth between the fort and the village, selling goods.”

“What did you say exactly?”

“The interior and exterior of the building are in good shape, with no changes, but only people are gone, as if a ghost had visited and left, and they said that the entire three villages had evaporated… He was out of his mind and talking.”

“Are there any victims in this town?”

“no. Fortunately, not yet. It’s the closest to the fortress, and I think it also benefited from controlling access to the village.”

“I know that the raiding party was dispatched earlier.”

“… … .”

In response to a series of questions, the village head shoots me with eyes asking for help.

Unfortunately, I was more like a scarecrow than an apostle of justice, so I immersed myself in narrowing down the categories.

Somehow, it seemed like a mentally specialized monster again.

“Senior, you can tell me as it is.”

“Yeah, that’s okay. I remember them coming out of the fort. It was about fifteen minutes… … . He went to the mountains and came back.”

“… He said he came back.”

“Yes. There was a guy who watched us return to the fort from a distance, but he said it didn’t look like they fought.”

Then, suddenly, the brow of the engineering chief frowned.

Given that I hadn’t heard about it in the briefing, it was clear that it was missing in the report.

It would have been easier to track down if only I knew how to avoid the person with this ability.

That wasn’t a good sign.

two hours after that.

While the light is fading over the son-in-law due to the early sunset, the next village, which the village chief declared to be fine, is locked in silence.

There are only traces of animals attempting to enter the fence.

I couldn’t find any signs of popularity, and the same was true of the main gate.

“I will forcefully break through.”

[Confirm request.]

At this, the engineering chief raises the hammer without hesitation.

bang!

The thick log was shattered in an instant, and the hairy one bumped their shoulders through the gap.

Of course, the door could not stand it two or three times before being ripped off.

It’s not difficult to guess why outsiders aren’t all that friendly to the hero.

“… A1, vigilance. Team B starts searching from the right side.”

“… … .”

And the game of hide and seek ends before long.

As the village chief said, everything was in order, but not a single villager remained.
