Bounty Hunt (2)

7. Bounty Hunt (2)

"JTR Gate Journalist Park Seo-yeon."

I heard the big camera she was holding in one hand.

"Ah..."

JTR was the biggest broadcaster in the country with five fingers.

The camera should have gone roughly as expected, but he didn't expect it at all.

I felt more of a person running on the field than a journalist.

Why is that?

"You're not affiliated yet? It would be dangerous to fight without equipment... Why don't you join a team?"

"I don't have a place to go yet. But you're more dangerous than I am, aren't you?"

Il-hyun asked.

Of course, it was much more dangerous for the general public to come to this place alone than to awaken.

"Uh-huh, you don't have to worry about me."

Park So-yeon smiled with pleasure and handed it over.

"We can't just sit there and wait for this to happen. Anyway, I'm glad. There are more people running around without action than I thought. I don't believe it."

As she said, the general public often shows up to admire awakeners or to hunt monsters because they need money in a hurry.

In a well-prepared country, you don't have to deal with monsters, but you think you can do it because you're lucky to be caught in the hands of the general public in a medium like movies and cartoons.

He went on a hunt with his own priestly bombs or air-guns, but the end of the insensitivity was near.

Park So-yeon is also referring to occasional incidents on the news, but I was struck by the thought or reason that she was installing with excessive force in her words.

"Oh, right. Have you seen where the monster remains?"

Il-hyun, who remembered his urgent needs, asked quickly.

The reporter who was covering the scene would have already stopped by where the monster body was, so this was a great opportunity.

"The body? I recovered it. Still, there's a lot of public opinion out there. Can you just leave it on the street?"

"Oh, my..."

But a disappointing answer returned, and Il-hyun sighed.

Without a corpse, no mouse was useless whining hard in its pocket.

I had to look around like everyone else.

"I don't know what you're looking for, but it's too bad. It was all cleared up two hours ago."

"Yes... thank you. Thanks to you, we didn't waste any time. If you don't mind, I'll be right there. We need to find the monster quickly."

Monster corpses are basically highly toxic, but there may have been some pathogens I've never seen before.

Because of this, the treatment team recovered the bodies and withdrew them, which means the disinfection process is over.

There couldn't have been any smell left.

When the disappointed Il-hyun tries to turn his back, Park Seo-yeon grabs him.

"Can I hear your name, too? I think I just said it."

"Oh, this is Kang Il-hyun."

"Kang Il-hyun... Il-hyun... Il-hyun? Okay, I remember."

Park Seo-yeon's mouth turned to him as if trying to remember his name.

Then I opened my mouth again.

"Maybe we'll see each other again. Il-hyun, I think I'll succeed."

"Haha, thank you."

Il-hyun smiled and handed it over unreservedly.

But Park So-yeon smiled and looked at him seriously.

"I'm not kidding. I like feeling a little bit."

An energetic daylight walks through an empty alley.

Luckily, I thought I could get more than two ethers at a time, and I got into an expensive taxi and suddenly I got stuck.

'I'm just in a hurry to find another one.'

At that time, a rat jumped out of the neighbouring grocery store building while being photographed.

The fierce runner hovers around Il-hyun's bridge.

He picks it up and puts it on his hand.

"What do you think, there was nothing in that building?"

When Il-hyun asks, the little mouse nods loudly.

He was searching the buildings and streets daily with a summoner.

There are quite a few other people around here, so I thought anyone would find a monster in no time.

However, there are lots of high-rise apartments nearby and lots of locked spaces, which took more time than I thought.

"Well... it's better than going around alone. Ike."

When I felt someone approaching, I put the mouse back in the coat and hid it.

The two men, who appeared to be awake, were running towards each other.

"Where did you find it?"

"It was stuck in the cellar of the library. Oh, shit. We've got three left. I didn't have a job right now, and I was just about to grab a drink."

"If you catch one, you won't pay taxes on the bounty and you won't even get the ether price. Khh..."

"There's no company there. Let's just find one before it's too late."

The two men rush in opposite directions to find the monster.

Hearing them, Il-hyun immediately ran towards the library.

The library around here is right next door, not far from here.

In front of the library, where Il-hyun was running at a fast pace, a little over 10 people gathered.

Except for the two cops who came running after the news, they were all awake.

"Coming out!"

When the front door of the library was opened, a man shouted.

"Aah!"

A pair of men and women in black coats appear to be dragging the monster corpse.

A monstrous monster that spills blood.

It was a quaint walking monster Balak with a long tail on its dull black skin.

"Fuck, I was eating one guy."

The man who dragged the monster threw out his greed by pulling out the corpse.

No matter how much this happened, I was forced to feel strong hostility and rejection when I saw monsters eating innocent guards.

People gathered together and watched.

"What kind of guy is this?"

"You look unusual."

'The real thing is better, though.'

I also evaluated the appearance of monsters in my head.

From the black-based photograph to the lighted sucker, the look of him was just as scary as the look, but I didn't feel much.

I'm not afraid of awakening.

In the meantime, an unexpected woman crossed the street from the other side.

It was Park Seo-yeon who met him just 20 minutes ago and even said goodbye.

She reaches out to the man and woman who brought the monster out.

"Is the victim's body still there?"

"Huh? You're not a reporter, are you?"

"Yes, that's right. Can I see the first scene we found?"

"Absolutely."

"Come this way."

I don't know if I've ever found Il-hyun mixed up in people's gaps, but Park Seo-yeon went into the building with men and women.

I thought Il-hyun, who had watched it, was interesting.

Knowing? Or a reporter with a name. '

Il-hyun, who believed himself to be awakened, was disgraced by the Awakening Examination he saw when he was twenty years old, and his stomach ached when he heard the stories of other Awakeners, so he lost his nerves and lived in this world as much as he could.

It was hard to recognize him because he was a little known.

I don't know if you're famous like Ryujin Tae or Minji Hun.

'By the way, I left the body.'

The ether had already been extracted, and the corpse was still unfolded.

Most of the by-products of a monster corpse without ether were useless.

The meat of monsters can't be used as a feed for livestock, and even the bones and skins rot quickly, releasing only strong toxins.

Although a small number of people occasionally smuggled drugs and used them as a potion or a panacea ingredient, none of the people who took them were alive.

It was also difficult to dispose of it, so I had to go through a tricky process at a separate monster corpse processing facility.

"Shit, I shoved it and I caught one."

"I found all the dizzy places, but where are you hiding? I don't get it."

"I heard you know how to sell the land, but you're hiding somewhere?"

The awakeners are tired of finding monsters.

Il-hyun, who became restless, shaved his lips.

I like being caught by monsters, which is a big danger to the citizens, but I also had to find my share.

'But I finally got a body.'

Il-hyun stood around for a while and waited.

And to a certain extent, when people were scattered and their gaze turned elsewhere, they tugged their left chest with their fingers.

Then the mouse in the coat pocket pulls out its head.

They exchanged their eyes and went into action as I had told them beforehand.

The one who jumps into the Sun-hyun's coat looks around for a moment and rushes to the monster's corpse.

Fortunately, no one saw it.

In the meantime, Il-hyun went to the back corner of the building without human resources and waited.

It was a place where no one had to worry about seeing it because of the wall.

"Did you bring it?"

A sluggish mouse crawls to the forefront of the daylight.

Then he nods and opens his mouth slightly.

The flesh of the monster, which was still in his small mouth, was dull and fell to the ground.

A smile was made in the mouth of Hyunhyun, who saw the flesh of a monster still twitching.

"Okay, so let's get started."
