“Look at you?”

Baek Woojin didn't go in right away, but looked down at the entrance and grinned.

At the bottom of the entrance was a thin thread, barely visible to his eyes.

It was a trap where a signal was sent to the shaman inside the moment he touched that thread while entering.

- The trap is a bit clumsy.

“So it’s too easy to find.”

Baek Woojin got a strange feeling when he saw this clumsy trap.

No-goers are pros when it comes to stealing. There was no way such a man would have set up such an easy trap.

"Perhaps… .”

I looked inside the trap. There were three finer and thinner black threads hanging over the thread, where one could step on it.

- Well then!

"I knew it."

Muyeonggaek deliberately made a catchy trap and installed it to touch the trap behind it. He was still a great guy.

“Anyway, he’s a good guy.”

Baek Woojin kicked his tongue and went over his second thread into the den. Perhaps it was because he had reached the heights, the dark interior was clearly visible as if the light had been turned on.

“Would you surprise me that this happened?”

Baek Woojin used the dragon's soul to go down the burrow, erasing his presence and presence.

- Well, I've installed a lot.

In addition to the thread trap, various traps were installed in the cave. Of course, Baek Woojin did not fall into a single trap.

- Is it Jin this time?

A space about the size of a small room appeared, and when I looked down, a phantom circle was installed.

“Originally, it wasn’t Jin, but it looks like it was a barrier.”

When I looked closely at the floor, it seemed that the original barrier had been erased and a new one had been installed. Of course, the guy who did it was obviously a no-show.

- He's a stubborn guy.

“If you come out like this, you have to go through it. Let's see what the hell he's going to do."

Baek Woojin smiled and entered Jin.

**

"Well?"

Unknowingly, the young man looked back. The alarm didn't sound, but I felt a tickling in the back of my head for some reason.

“Ah, no one can go through so many traps silently.”

If you add up the traps, alarms, and jinbeop that you installed just in case you didn't know, there are more than a dozen. The only people who pass through it undetected are either Mushin or Daedo.

“I am still anxious. Can't you hurry up?"

Muyeonggaek savored the black marbles in the transparent water.

In fact, this project started four months ago. He wanted to take the black neck, but he had many eyes to see and it was so big that there was no way to get it.

'So I had the opposite idea.'

He stumbled upon this tunnel while devising a plan to target the root of the black tree, which would be underground instead of the huge black tree in front of him.

I arrived at this last room, searching the tunnel very slowly, and found that marble.

“At first, I was really terrified.”

Guernsey beads, which acted as manure for black trees, had a suffocating aura flowing through them.

It has been a month since the poison was removed by adding holy water and curse-removing items to erase the vicious energy.

Thanks to that time of patience, if you remove a little more poison, the purification has progressed to the extent that you can pick up the beads.

Koa!

The wise man poured holy water and curse-removing items into the basin containing the beads. If everything goes according to plan, I thought I would be able to pick up the marbles today.

“But why is the back of the head so itchy yesterday and today?”

I've been having a weird tickling in the back of my head since last night. Something didn't feel right.

“Isn’t that person supposed to be back?”

Muyoung-gak poured all the holy water he had into the basin with anxiety.

Aww!

Then, a silvery brilliance erupted from the basin, and the color of the black beads began to change to brown.

"done! done!"

Muyounggaek jumped like a child who received a gift. It seemed that the fruits of four months of waiting were nearing his nose.

“The long wait has paid off… .”

“What is this?”

As the young man smiled, someone's low voice came from behind him.

“Aaaaaaah!”

The shaman groaned and sat down. He was so startled that he had no idea what to do with his legs.

“Huh! Hey, Inspector!”

He slowly turned his head, rubbing his upper and lower teeth. There, Baek Woojin, the worst person who shouldn't be here, was smiling.

“Uh, when did you come? And how are you... .”

“I didn’t even come here to find you.”

"Ah… .”

The chin of the martial artist opened up as if it was about to fall off. After all, this man was a ghost he couldn't handle himself.

“Are you guilty? Why are you so upset?”

“Sin, no sin. haha!"

Muyoung rolled his eyes and touched the back of his head.

'Damn it! You should have run away earlier!’

The feeling in the back of the head was correct. When the back of his head tickled, his head was filled with regret that he should have run away.“Why did an innocent person set up a trap at the entrance?”

"Eww… .”

The young man was unable to speak.

“And why did you say this is the fruit of waiting?”

Baek Woojin lit up his eyes as he looked at the yellow marbles in the basin.

“That, that… .”

Mooyoung's head started spinning like a washing machine. And I found the best answer to get out of this crisis situation.

“I prepared it for you!”

“For me?”

"Yes! This is a treasure prepared for the prosecutor who will return sometime. My wind has reached the sky and you are finally back!”

Muyoung-gak put his hands together as if at a crossroads and made an ecstatic expression.

- It sucks.

Darkness burst into laughter as he saw the sudden change in the expression of the martial artist.

“It’s funny and it’s embarrassing. You must have found this marble while trying to collect the blackwood roots by yourself.”

“Ouch! Sin, sorry!”

The young man screamed and fell flat on his back. He knew his lie at a glance, and he was still a ghost.

“If you wash your hands, when are you going to change that habit? Do you dig a tunnel alone while others are struggling outside?”

“Okay, the tunnel was dug from the beginning… .”

“Noisy. So what the hell is this marble?”

“Pu, it is a bead that was spread over the root. It was probably the manure of the black tree... Wait! Don't touch it! Still a curse... .”

"curse?"

Baek Woojin grabbed the marble and shook it as if there was no problem. From the first time I saw it, I didn't feel any curse or dark energy on this marble.

“Can’t you feel anything?”

“I am really?”

“Because it is.”

Not only the curse, but no special mana was felt. As Baek Woojin was about to examine the marble closely, a message appeared in front of his eyes.

ding!

[I came in contact with the rosary that became the fertilizer of the fallen world tree.]

[The energy of the fruit of the world tree purifies and absorbs the energy of the rosary.]

Baek Woojin had nothing to do, and the energy of the world tree fruit that remained in his body absorbed the energy remaining in the marble.

ding!

[A Dark Adaptation Talent has been created.]

[The mana stat has increased.]

[The Five Star stat has increased.]

[The level of the Dragon Soul has risen.]

'Wow… .'

Baek Woojin swallowed dry saliva. Just by touching the marble, the stats went up, new characteristics were created, and even the level of the Sleeping Dragon Soul was raised.

Coincidence and coincidence overlapped, creating a reward that I could not have imagined. My mind went blank.

- Whatever this kid did, suddenly spread his stats! It's very unlikely!

Darkness struck the ground as if it were absurd. He gave such a reward to a guy who didn't do anything, and the curse came out. He seemed to take care of me like crazy since he went to the continent.

“Inspector?”

The young man tilted his head. There was no light or any reaction, so he didn't know that the rosary gave Baek Woojin strength.

‘I could use this.’

Baek Woojin saw the bewildered expression on the young man's face and was convinced that he did not know what had happened to him.

“Take it.”

“Hey, why are you doing this to me? .”

Baek Woojin threw a rosary at the silent guest with an expression of being very generous. Muyeong-gak received the rosary with a bewildered face.

“Give this back. But if you do something like this again, you will be beaten and kicked out.”

“Are you really?”

"okay. This is your last chance.”

"thank you! In the future, I will never do this kind of bullshit! never!"

The young man fell over and banged his head on the floor.

- Are you, are you a devil?

Darkness wrapped around his tongue. Baek Woojin won the loyalty of an unsung audience with an empty bead. He was a guy who couldn't keep up with real fine hair.

'This guy cheated first.'

Baek Woojin laughed. He has to take down that slender guy who tried to collect the treasure alone.

“I’ll go first, get organized and leave.”

“Go, thank you!”

Baek Woojin waved his hand and headed out first.

“You were such a generous person… .”

With tears in his eyes, he bowed his head 90 degrees toward Baek Woojin's back. For understanding his irresistible personality, he was truly grateful.

He vowed to only listen to his orders from now on.

“Um, but why does this suddenly look ugly?”

The silent rosary shuddered when he saw the empty rosary. Until before, it certainly smelled like a treasure, but now it seems ordinary.

“Hey, maybe it’s the mood.”

Mu-young took his marbles in his arms and ran to Baek Woojin.

"let's go together!"

**

Baek Woojin went to the commander's office as soon as he came up from the tunnel.

“Are you going back?”

“There’s a lot of stuff piling up.”

"okay. I thought it would.”

Hwang Byung-hun looked at Baek Woojin and nodded his head.

“There are a lot of guys who want to go back because of you.”

“I’m leaving a lot, are you okay?”

“Of course it’s fine. In fact, it was because there was still a lot of manpower left.”

There were more capable people than necessary in the current front. Considering the talented people who are leaving because Baek Woojin has returned, the appropriate number of people will be matched.

“Are you going to stay here, Commander?”

“Where am I going at this age? I'm going to bury my bones here."

"also… .”

It was truly admirable. He lost an arm, but his enthusiasm and consultation never diminished.

“Your brother?”

“I should be here too. Because the commander is stupid. I have to take care of it.”

Baek Yeon-hui's tone was noticeably softer than before. After the black eyes and dark zones were removed, he seemed to be relieved a lot.

"men and horses! You are the fool!”

"Yes. I'm an idiot too, but Commander-in-Chief is far more stupid than me."

Hwang Byung-hoon and Baek Yeon-hwi laughed at each other as fools. Not Baek Cheon-hwa, but Hwang Byung-hoon and Baek Yeon-hwi, it almost seemed like a father-son relationship.

“I want to stay here a little longer.”

Yoon Woo-min, who was sitting on the sofa enjoying tea, smiled.

“Since the number of monsters has decreased a lot, it is perfect for training Geunho and Unitas children.”

“Jung Geun-ho said he would challenge me again.”

“The bigger the dream, the better.”

Yoon Woo-min shook his head and smiled. Unless a miracle happens, Jeong Geun-ho will never catch up with Baek Woojin.

“I’m not going with you.”

Baek Cheon-woong looked at the other people once and got up. He is worried about Baek Woojin and the medical team and wants to move together.

"Well… .”

“Good luck.”

“Let’s meet again later.”

Knowing Baek Cheon-woong's heart, everyone didn't say anything and let him go.

“Woojin-ah.”

"Yes?"

“Behind you, there is not only the medical sword belt. I was joking, but if you are in danger, everyone who was here that day will run for you.”

Hwang Byung-hun looked at Baek Woojin with serious eyes.

“So am I. If anything happens, call me right away.”

“Before, I was serious about standing behind you at a drinking party. Tell me whenever you need it.”

Yoon Woo-min looked at Baek Woojin with deepened eyes, and Baek Yeon-hui smiled as he touched his hair under his ear. Both were ready to visit anytime and anywhere for Baek Woojin.

"thank you."

Just hearing their words gave me an uplifting feeling as if my heart was full.

“Then let’s go.”

Baek Woojin bowed his head to everyone and left the room. Everyone followed him to see him off.

“Come out!”

"Bye!"

“You’ve been through a lot!”

“Thank you for saving me!”

When I left the commander's building, all the talented people in the front had gathered.

Wicked!

The talented people in the front sent their final greetings by tapping their left chest twice with their right fist.

"See you again!"

Baek Woojin smiled and tapped his left chest, his heart burning hot.

**

“It has changed.”

As soon as Baek Woojin returned to the Baek family, he felt that the views of the family's prosecutors had changed.

“You treat me like a stranger.”

Baek Cheon-woong felt that too, so his impression was shriveled.

“It must be because of my father.”

Even if they weren't happy, I thought they would react normally, but the prosecutors only bowed their heads formally. It was obvious that it was because of the confrontation with his father that took place on the front line.

- Because it's really boring.

‘I want to meet you.’

Baek Woojin ordered the medical team to rest, and went to Gajujeon with Baek Cheon-woong.

“You are out now.”

However, there was no Baekcheonhwa in Gajujeon, and only Kim Jaehwan, who was guarding the front door, remained.

“After coming back from the front, you said that you were going to practice and left.”

"Where?"

“I don’t even know because I went only with the Black Sword Master.”

"Well… .”

Baek Woojin looked at Jaehwan Kim's face. He didn't really know, his eyes didn't change.

"I get it."Baek Woojin and Baek Cheon-woong went to Gajujeon.

“Where did you go?”

“I don’t know either. Suddenly it's a water lily... .”

Baek Cheon-woong also shook his head. Gaju had a separate training center, but he had no idea where he would go to train.

- Is that person a lily?

'I don't know what you're thinking.'

It had never happened in his previous life that his father went out at this moment, so he felt a little anxious.

‘I’m a little nervous.’

-Don't worry about what you don't know, just do what you have to do. I'm not going to show up all of a sudden and shoot you a sword.

‘That’s right.’

Baek Woojin nodded. His father is also a father, but he's back after five months, so there's a lot to learn.

“I have to gather information I haven’t heard before.”

"information?"

"Yes."

Baek Woojin took out his cell phone and made a call.

“There are people who are the best when it comes to information.”

**

“I am so glad! really!"

Jin-ah Yoo, the deputy general manager of Black Market, approached with wet eyes.

"Long time no see."

Baek Woojin contacted Eugene Ah to get her information, and she gladly took the time right away.

“She heard that the deputy general manager was also on the front line,” she said. thank you."

“It’s not worthy of being greeted.”

Eugene Ah shook her head. Baek Woojin is the person who made his current position. He was rather sorry that he didn't stay on the front line.

“The coffee is still delicious.”

Baek Woojin laughed as he drank the bitter and fragrant coffee brewed by Jinah Yoo. Like her personality, the taste of coffee was very consistent.

“You’re contacting me as soon as you come back, so you came because I wanted to see you, right?”

“Well, there are.”

“You’re getting more and more sensible.”

Knowing Eugene glanced at Baek Woojin with her smiley face, she held out her papers under her desk.

“I prepared it in advance because I think you will find information from the past.”

“That’s great too.”

Not long after she returned, she admired Eugene Ah, who prepared these materials.

“It’s nothing. She prepares only what the prosecutor needs, so it’s not a lot.”

"thank you."

Baek Woojin nodded and opened her papers. The first was about large monsters.

“A large monster?”

“Monsters that are much bigger than before are starting to appear in the city center. These are monsters that appear from the front or are the first to see.”

As she listened to Eugene Ah, she looked at the pictures of the monsters. There were really large monsters in front of me, or monsters I had never seen before.

-Is it an orca spider on a kaman centipede? They're messy... .

‘Is something else starting?’

In a previous life, no large monster appeared at this time. The future seemed to have changed again.

“This is information that came out yesterday, but it is said that a huge forest appeared in the Sahara Desert, and several monsters were appearing in that forest.”

“The Sahara?”

"Yes. That's why we're giving talented people the right to enter the forest. Please take care of it.”

“It’s a huge forest in the desert… .”

It seems that the cracks were not properly organized after the change occurred. Such a place is dangerous, but there is a high possibility that special monsters will come out and good rewards will come out.

“The last piece of information is related to the prosecutor. It’s been a while, though.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a bit difficult to tell in person, but there are many prosecutors.”

“You can tell me. Because it is true.”

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was an enemy if he just turned his head.

“When the prosecutor went to the front, there was a movement from several guilds to chase after the prosecutor. It happened before I put it all together.”

“Where?”

“Jenon, Lucas, and Daeyeonmun seemed to be moving toward Dodoseong, and the Medium and Large Criminals Guild was also preparing assassins.”

- Yeah, that's a lot. The enemy is very everywhere.

“It’s not just one or two.”

Baek Woojin smiled as he turned the paperwork. Actually, it's not just there. In addition, there were Baek Sung-hyun and Baek So-hee.

“The news that the prosecutor has returned is spreading, so there is a possibility that they will move again.”

"Well… .”

Baek Woojin was looking at a map of the Sahara Desert and suddenly a good idea came to his mind.

“It’s good.”

"Yes?"

“Please spread a secret rumor.”

“What kind of rumors?”

“As soon as Baek Woojin returns, he goes to the Sahara to clear out the monsters.”

“Uh, well then… .”

Baek Woojin smiled as he pressed his finger to the Sahara Desert on the map.

“As I am collecting the desert rewards, I am going to wipe out all the annoying things at once.”
