- Volume 4 Episode 21

As if Jung Daesik's rebuttal felt like he was blaming himself, Choi Hee wrinkled his beautiful forehead as if displeased.

"It's true that I'm an SS-class hunter, but my abilities aren't very well developed. If you kill the Cyclopes, you can do any number of them, but if you ask them to find someone, they can't. As long as there is, I can't blow up or dismantle the body of the Cyclopes at will, so my abilities are meaningless in the present state."

"Uh... um. That's right. Don't you think there's an operator in the Titan Raid with excellent search skills?"

"There is, but he is currently on a business trip abroad. It will take some time to get back here. We are urgently looking for someone who can replace him, but I don't know how long it will take. If I make a mistake... .."

Choi Hee showed a very anxious look.

Jung Daesik asked knowing that the situation was still urgent.

"Are they safe?"

"Thanks to you killing the Cyclopes, digestion has stopped. The stomach acid level in the stomach where they are trapped is in place. But it's an enclosed space, so there's a lack of oxygen. I don't know how many hours I can last. The other crew members are poking around and searching the basement whenever they can, but there's no hope at all."

Only then did Jung Daesik realize why Choi Hee was by his side in this urgent situation.

Then Choi Hee grabbed Jung Daesik's hand and said earnestly.

"They... you're the only one who can save my brother!"

Jung Daesik widened his eyes.

'You're my brother? Come to think of it, Choi Hee, Choi Sun... they have similar names!'

The best atmosphere was so dark that I never thought it would be between Choi Hee and her sister.

However, it turned out that they had a slender chin, a small mouth, and a body that was similar.

'okay! Her sister was in this raid, so she was involved as an investor.'

She thinks she doesn't know why she didn't notice at all, and she burst into tears as Choi Hee held his hand.

"He's the only one in my family. I've only been through hard times so far. If he dies here like this, I... I..."

Jung Daesik was a bit perplexed.

Who is Hee Choi?

The world's most powerful man.

The only SS class hunter.

Isn't she the goddess of storms that drives thunder and lightning?

She was always arrogant, and she was a woman who wore her dignified smile on her lips, and when she cried like this, her heart ached.

She couldn't help it, even if she said she'd always been cold to Jung Daesik.

Jung Daesik reached out his other hand and wiped Choi Hee's tears.

"Don't cry. My younger brother won't die so easily. Whose younger brother is he? It's Choi Hee's younger brother, right?"

As Jung Daesik spoke in her light tone of tone, Choi Hee smiled slightly with her tearful face.

She was so beautiful that her heart pounded even though she knew it was not the time for this.

"Is that right? Are you holding up well?"

"Sure."

"Then are you going to find him?"Jung Daesik hesitated when he saw Choi Hee begging.

He wanted to say he would do whatever he wanted, but he couldn't find the best of his current abilities.

Seeing him hesitating, Choi Hee clasped her hands tightly.

She grabbed Jung Daesik's hand tightly so she hurt, she said.

"Don't say you can't. Only you can save my brother. The only hunter with all-in-one potential. If you grow day by day, you'll be able to find my little brother somehow!"

Choi Hee turned and forced her to answer.

Choi Hee had a rather volatile personality.

She didn't even know she was so desperate that maybe she didn't even show up.

Jung Daesik bit her lips.

To be honest, he couldn't do his best with the 1.77 billion won he currently has.

At best he could only upgrade a skill or shop once.

However, no words came out of his mouth when he saw Choi Hee clinging to her with the feeling of catching straw.

Jung Daesik sighed and said.

"...I'll try as hard as I can."

Then Choi Hee jumped up and she grabbed Jung Daesik's shoulder, this time with both her hands.

"It's not enough to try! Surely, by all means, rescue him!"

Saying that, Choi Hee's eyes were burning brightly.

She's on the verge of hearing Amon's grievances if she doesn't.

She carries the resentment of an SS-class hunter.

It was a situation she didn't want to think much about.

In a somewhat burdensome mood, Jung Daesik barely nodded his head.

'If that doesn't work, borrow some money, huh? I'm going to use it to save my brother, so why shouldn't I lend it to him?'

* * *

Jung Daesik let Choi Hee out and thought about it for a while.

If she doesn't get it, she borrows her money from Choi Hee and thinks she'll do something with her talent, but that makes it hard to hide her talent.

When she asks what the best structure has to do with lending money, she has nothing to say.

More than she had to keep the existence of Democritus a secret, she had to keep a secret about her sage's abilities as well.

It is already attracting her attention due to the possibility of an all-in-one.

She might be suspicious of everything she explained in a clumsy way.

Most of all, she's not fussy!

Although Jung Daesik has been living without it ever, he has lived without a single regret from others.

He didn't have any money to buy rice, so he did not open his hands to anyone, even though he had to cook jang-tteok with flour and red pepper paste for the whole month.

It was a way to keep his pride even in his lower life, and it was the driving force that allowed him to endure even in difficult situations.

But now, to someone else... to a woman... Above all else, borrow money from Choi Hee.

It was something I really didn't like.

No matter how much it was to save her brother, it was.

It was even more so because the amount was not even a penny or two.

It would be at least a few billions.

How do you borrow that much money?

'I find a way within the amount I can afford. If you think well, you will surely come up with something.'

Jung Daesik thought about it for a while and then called entropy.

"Entropy."

"Well, how to find the missing person I asked about last time."

"Yeah, that. You said that you must first remember the characteristics of that magical power, right?"

Jung Daesik asked nervously.

"Then, is it possible to find similar magic?"

What Jung Daesik was thinking about was that Choi Hee and Choi Choi were sisters.

If two people are blood and blood, they may also have similar characteristics of natural magic.

If so, after acquiring a specific magic detection skill, remember Choi Hee's magic and find the magic that is similar to that as much as possible.

Then I thought it might be possible to find the best.

In response to Jung Daesik's question, entropy was silent for a moment.

Entropy is also silent, as if lost in thought for a moment.

"Maybe it's possible? You mean you don't know for sure?"

"Damn it, what's going on?"

Jung Daesik bit his lips in contemplation.

With the amount he currently has, after acquiring a certain magic detection skill, he could only upgrade one level.

Then, at the most, I was wondering if it would be useful to say that it was Lv2.

"Okay......"

Alternatively, there is a way to acquire better detection skills by upgrading the shop, but the question was whether such a skill existed by upgrading the shop by just one level.

This part was difficult because it could not be confirmed even through entropy.

If you upgrade the shop and don't have those skills, you're wasting money.

'Still, should I walk to the side with a high probability?'

Jung Daesik said that we should try the first method for now."Entropy, I will purchase a specific magic detection skill."

"And upgrade it to the next level."

Jung Daesik checked the balance and groaned.

"Gagging."

The remaining money is 760 million won.

For Jung Daesik, it was like bankruptcy.

'It's not about making money. Spending so much money to find someone...'

Unlike other skills acquired so far, certain magic detection skills are not used in combat situations.

That is, there is no money.

Thinking like that, I was so sad that I almost died.

'Damn... No, maybe this skill can show off his excellent ability to find missing people so he can earn extra income. Once you get it, won't it be used anywhere?'

Jung Daesik struggled to comfort himself and returned his entropy and went out.

The hastily prepared base camp was very cluttered.

It felt like we were just hitting base camp.

Some of them had gathered in one place.

'what?'

Jung Daesik walked over to him and pulled out his neck.

Then, over the shoulder of the people, the video they were watching caught my eye.

'Choi Choi and Na Dong-il!'

On the dark screen, Na Dong-il's sweat-stained face appeared.

He said with a look stained with discouragement, fatigue and fear.

- Nearly half a day has already passed since I came here. The gastric juice is no longer oozing out. Uh, like I said before, Choi Seon and I...

With that said, Dongil Na turned the camera aside for a moment.

There, Choi Sun-eun was sitting there with a sweat-stained face as well.

She glanced at her camera once, but quickly turned her head away.

They seemed to be sitting in a hollow above the stomach wall.

A flash of light revealed a lumpy stomach that looked like a giant leather pouch, and at first glance, the bottom was full of stomach acid.

-The two of us tried to get out of here, but the stomach wall was so strong that we couldn't even drill a hole. In fact, I wonder if there will be a way to get out of this monster's body even if he rips his stomach out. I'm worried that if I make a mistake, I'll drown in this guy's blood. For now, the Titan Raid has started a rescue, so we'll wait and see.

Jung Daesik heard him say that and realized anew that I can not only broadcast his own situation live, but also see his external situation.

This means that you are fully connected online.

However, it was shocking to hear that they were completely isolated and could not be rescued.

-I don't know if it's because of my mood, but it seems to be getting harder and harder to breathe. It's probably a lack of oxygen. How much longer... I don't know how long I'll be able to see you like this. It would be nice if the Titan Raid could find us sooner. I don't even know where I am, how long will it take...
