SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
4. Hunting Heroes. (1)

‘You can't beat the salt in the usual way. ’
My heart thumped. I tried to stay calm, but it wasn't easy. Maybe it's obvious. Just before that, I was burned to death in my head.
The pain that was felt when bones and flesh were burned alive · · was really terrible.
“Damn, son of a bitch. ”
I stared at the pieces of the newspaper on the wall.
The history of the salting. From the time he was a nameless god to the top of the world ranking, many interviews and articles were held.
Of course, there was also a photograph of the salt. I was so unlucky that I wanted to tear it up right now.
“Tsk. But if this son of a bitch dies, he'll be back 24 hours ago. ”
You can't kill them if you kill them.
This is too big a problem.
It's practically invincible, right? ’
The difference between salt and I is as good as the sun and fireflies. Opponent is ranked # 1 in the world. I am not ranked (and others). Jealousy alone is considered to be a great reward for the top, but · · · jealousy does not make me stronger.
Coincidence, coincidence, and miracles add up, but it's hard for me to kill the goat.
‘Even if it really kills. ’
What if I kill the salt?
The salts just go back 24 hours. And that's it. The salt will try to kill me, no matter what means or means, and once it realizes it can't kill me, it will try to imprison me forever.
Build a cell in the basement and put it in there.
With the power and skill of salt, you can simply overwhelm me. And I'll spend the rest of my life in eternal prison.
Kim Gong-ja's Bed End Number Two. It's a fancy prison ending.
“Shit · · · ·. ”
Killing is a problem. It's a problem to kill.
How am I supposed to get revenge on this psychopath?
‘What should I do? ’
‘What can I do to rank # 1? ’
A day.
I thought I was stuck in the trailer for over 24 hours.
I stared at the newspaper articles on the wall and pondered. It contained all the information about the salt. Maybe it gave me a hint.
Subdue 39 floors with salt alone!
Subdue 38th Floor with Solo Play! Another Legend of Salt!
Play Hunter. Ranked # 1 in the world rankings. First time as a Korean. "
•
"First place on the throne emptied by the disappearance of the sword. Who's next? Foreign experts put their mouths together and said," The leading candidate is the leading candidate in Korea. "
"Break through 10 floors without fail. Who's the mystery hero?
Sword, Day 22 of Disappearance. Hunter industry's worst chaos.
“ · · · · · ·. ”
It was that moment.
“Huh?"
A shock occurred in my head.
“Wait. · · · Check this out? ”
I touched a piece of the newspaper and muttered. Content interviewed by which magazine. It was originally an article posted on the Internet, but I printed it out and pasted it myself.
+
Q. How old was your first Awakening?
A. It is the summer of 21 years old. So it's been 11 years.
Q. You have a really good memory of the season.
A. I never thought I'd have a better memory. It was my birthday on June 7, 11 years ago. So I remember.
Q. You woke up on your birthday. What happened then?
A. It was on the first floor of the tower. I don't want to tell you anything more. It's private.
+
In a way, an ordinary interview.
But it was a very precious hint to me.
“Wow, Sissy. Wait, really? This is gonna work. ”
There is a way. A way to kill the world's number one hunter.
It's never easy, and when people hear about it, they say, "Are you crazy?" But at the same time, I thought of the only way to get rid of the salt. Class F Hunter, even I was a loose end.
‘I can really get revenge! ’
It was then.
“Fire!”
It was noisy outside the window. I opened a window to see what was happening. There was smoke rising from the other side of the neighborhood. The villagers come out into the alley and brawl.
“Oh, my. What should I do with that? Oh, my! ”
“Let's not do this here, let's go put out the fire! ”
“Let's do it!”
The villagers rush in.
The place I lived in was different from the outside world. The people who set foot in the tower to become hunters. The first floor of the tower, a city of such residents.
The name of the city was varied. Some called Babylon, and some called it hell. There was simply a hunter called the "first-floor city," and there was also a man called the ascending city ( ).
Because there are all kinds of races around the world.
Most of the people who lived here were hunters. I like it but don't like it, but have experienced a life crisis. When the crisis came, I knew I would move faster than the humans of the outside world.
I quickly stepped down to join the residents' fire march.
‘Crazy.’
Checked the time with my smartphone Twenty-four hours after he died of salt restriction. The salt is just in time for the killing of the saint.
That is · · ·.
"Shit! The shit started the fire!" To destroy the evidence! "
Brine Play.
He was a real devil.
2.
The vigilantes were already on site. Even the Giant Guild Hunters were inside. Normally, they grunt and put their claws together, but now they're all together.
“Water buffs, don't use your skills alone! ”
“Yes, in time! Yes!”
“This is the Temporary Black Dragon Guild! Follow the lead of the Black Dragon for a moment, everyone! ”
Hunters are usually hard to watch unless it's a newspaper. A few of the top rankers show their faces. I sneak a peek at rankers while helping other villagers.
“Yi, we've completed the perimeter isolation. The question is, are there any survivors inside? · · I think we should send a rescue team. ”
Rank 5th. Head of the Guild for Doctors and Pharmacists, Alchemist Seongju.
“It's okay. This used to be a slum. No one's been alive for five years, so no one's allowed in.“ I'm glad there's a fire in a place like this. ”
Ranked 10th. Chief of the City's Peacekeepers, Paladins.
Hunters famous for helping others. Among the top rankers, there were some who didn't play as Dog Dye. I arrived earlier than anyone and was in command of the site.
‘Usually, there should be a saint among them. · · ’
However, there was no sign of the Holy Girl.
Of course she was. She was killed by one of the worst doggodys of all.
There's only two people in the world who know about this, me and Salt. Even the top rankers don't know the truth yet. Maybe it was the truth that I will never know again.
The alchemist is circling the area.
“That's weird, why isn't she here yet · ·? ”
“He said something happened tonight. I don't know, maybe a date. ”
The paladin smiles as he ranks tenth.
“He's been spending a lot of time with saltines lately. ”
“· · A man named the salting agent, I don't like it. ”
The alchemist shrugs.
“A little offended · · ·. It's not polite to talk back in a place like this. But I think she needs to meet someone better. ”
“Your eyes are too high. Who am I supposed to meet if I'm a better man than ranked # 1? So you're still an old maid. ”
“I don't care how old I am · · I'm still safe in my late 30s · · ”
Maybe a tiger will come if I say so.
“Salt!”
The people who were helping with the fire stopped. The top rankers turn their heads. There was salt, no disease, hanging around in a hoodie with churning trousers. The plague gives you an annoying look.
“Hey. Who played with fire without my permission? ”
Crazy psychopath.
“Welcome, Salt. ”
“Oh, brother, welcome. ”
“As you can see, there was a fire in the old slums. Can you help us? ”
The paladin politely said. However, the salt was tanned.
“What's in it for me? ”
“I get the pride of helping a lot of people for free. ”
“Oh, cut the crap. Show me what you got for me. ”
“Tomorrow, news agencies and broadcasters around the world are going to see the article [Fire suppressing salts, doing great good deeds]. You can improve your image while still impacting the world. ”
“Phew.”
The salt pierces your hand into your trouser pockets and laughs.
“Have I ever noticed the geese? ”
He really was a madman.
The villagers have already taken out their phones and filmed their salts. The expression and words of salt will be transmitted to the world in real time. The Internet would be torn apart by salters and swearers.
What do those who advocate for salting say?
Protect your interests like a knife.
- If you help people for free, that's a favor.
- It's good to be a hero and still be honest.
I was distracted.
‘No one knows. ’
My back was so frightened that it was cold.
‘That's not honest. He's just crazy. This is insane.’
My heart was cold, even though the flames were blazing right near me. This fire. This fire. This disaster was all caused by the salt itself. Nevertheless, he came back to his face and asked, ’What are you going to give me?'
I was convinced.
"He has to disappear! ’
Monster.
It wasn't just for my revenge. For the good of humanity. Even for Hunter's honor, we had to destroy that monster. Monsters are monsters. Catching monsters is our Hunters' mission or not!
‘You must kill · · · · without compromising the means and means. ’
This tower is inhabited by a flaming monster. Yeah, I did. But it was inappropriate to simply say 'was’. It was inappropriate
That monster was my prey.
‘Even if I die. ’
I took a step.
Duck.
Beyond the heroes of postmortem measures. Through ordinary people trying to catch fire. I walked towards a blazing fire, burning like hell.
“Huh? Wait a minute. Where are you going?”
Walked away.
“Hey, bro! Don't get too close! ”
Walked away.
“Oh, my God! He's crazy! ”
“Somebody stop him! ”
“Fuck, are you crazy or what? ”
And I ran.
There's a commotion behind your back. There was a man rolling his feet. There were some who shouted instead of working on evolution. I ignored them all. I ran away ignoring him.
‘It's hot.'
It was hell. Glug! The flames everywhere are burning like red tongues.
It hurts!
My flesh melted every step of the way. My eyes, the capsule of my eyes were burned off.
But...
It's better than getting hit by a plague! ’
This was the only way to kill the salt.
I think I've been running for a while, but I think I've only been gone a minute. I choked on smoke, and I heard voices as I stopped choking.
[You're dead.]
Yes, it is.
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
It was my second death.
3.
When I jumped into the flames, people cried out, "Are you crazy?"
Of course I'm not crazy. On the contrary, I understood the situation very calmly.
“· · Returned. ”
My hell. My 3.5 square compartment.
The walls were covered with interview knights, and live broadcasts came out on television. The third live broadcast you will already hear.
- Breaking news. Black Dragon Guild on the 40th floor of the tower.
It was back yesterday.
‘Good. Skill is working properly. ’
I didn't look at the television like last time. I didn't have to give it to you; 24 hours ago, your skills worked. All I have to do is be sure.
With this, you can kill the salt.
[Your current Hunter rank is Class F.]
[There is no penalty due to skill.]
“I knew it.”
I muttered.
‘Regret's reel clock · · ·. You said the higher your Hunter rank, the stronger the penalty. ’
Conversely, if a Hunter rank falls to the ground, there will be no significant penalty.
With an F class like mine, there are no penalties yet.
‘Now's your chance. ’
This is the only time I'm still in F class.
The only chance to hunt saltines.
‘This is your last chance. ’
I pulled the knife out of my backpack.
An old knife. A dagger I've kept since I started hunting. It could no longer be used to hunt monsters, but it was sharp enough to kill people.
‘How to kill salts. ’
I kept thinking about it.
"Collaborate with a saint who may yet be dead? After revealing and proving my abilities to the Black Dragon Guild, you devise a plan to imprison the salt forever? Or is it the salt that secretly films the killing of the saint and stabs the broadcaster? ’
It was okay either way.
But it's just fine. I couldn't send the salt to the goal 100% of the time.
‘I have no track record of believing in a saint. ’
No results.
‘I don't have the strength to be thrown out by the guild. ’
I didn't have the strength.
‘I am not confident that I will succeed in secretly filming salts. ’
I wasn't myself.
‘But · · ·. ’
There was something about me too.
‘If you die, you go back 24 hours before. ’
Skill.
Regret's reel watch copied from salt.
‘Yes, I have skills. ’
‘Don't worry, Gong-ja Kim. 3A). ’
Gulp. I looked at the wall one last time. There was an interview with a journalist who exchanged salt salts.
+
Q. How old was your first Awakening?
A. It is the summer of 21 years old. So it's been 11 years.
Q. You have a really good memory of the season.
A. I never thought I'd have a better memory. It was my birthday on June 7, 11 years ago. So I remember.
+
‘11 years.’
June 7, 11 years ago. Summer.
If I count backwards from today.
‘4050 days.'
Yes, it is.
"You can die 4050 times. ’
That's the only way to kill the salt.
‘Passionate.’
‘If the monster you kill doesn't die. ’
I raised my sword high.
I'll kill you before you turn into a monster! ’
And stabbed me in the neck.
To go back in time.
June 7, 11 years ago. The time when the salt oil had not yet awakened a skill. Not yet, to go back to that summer when I didn't have the ability to return 24 hours before I died.
To get back to the past where we could still kill the salt!
“Ugh · · ·! ”
It was hot. It hurt. My heart pounded like crazy. The nerves of the whole body scream. I couldn't see anything. I couldn't feel anything.
But I heard a voice.
[You're dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
I went back the day before.
The day before, I was lying in bed. The TV was turned off. However, the pieces of newspaper that were attached to the wall remained. Just one more day of regression did not erase the history of the goat, the legend of that madman.
I stared at the image of the play.
‘It doesn't matter.'
One week if one day is not enough. If we don't have a week, a month. A year if a month is not enough. If a year is not enough.
“Here.”
I pulled out the dagger again.
“It is now 4049 days. ”
And stabbed me.
