Chapter 71.1 – Hello, Hellony 3.1
‘Morian’ Guild, a guild where the prophet belonged to, was one of the largest guilds in Russia. Even though they only had around 200 members around the world, they had considerable numbers of superhumans with a very special ability.
Moreover, the guild members of Morian were able to use a very special ability which only known to few. But most veteran hunters were somewhat aware of the fact that their abilities were based on an ‘Amulet’.
However, no one knew where the Amulet came from.
“Avon. The Rain Killer Guild from the U.S called us saying they wanted to buy 10 cards. While the Baster Guild of Germany also requested five cards, And also, I got a call from Korea’s Lost Day Guild.”
“Is that so?”
Avon smiled as she fiddled with the cards. The cards she held in her hand were called ‘Talisman’ in the outside world.
“You’ve been getting a lot of calls lately. Is that the proof that more and more people are interested in ‘supernatural ability’?”
Supernatural Ability. It was an ability that could be used without having to undergo an ether-enhancing procedure. But until now, it had not received much attention worldwide due to the lack of information about it. However, when Hunter Yoo Seodam’s case broke out, curiosity about ‘Supernatural Ability’ spread to the public, and only a small fraction of them found out that people from Morian guild was dealing with that kind of power.
Despite only small numbers of people knowing about the Amulet, messages had poured in from countless guilds around the world.
“For now, contact Lost Day first. They are a guild that’s been very helpful in the study of ‘magic’.”
Lost Day had a history of providing significant help to the Morian Guild. They gave considerable funding to Morian, then helped them on their research of magic scientifically and introduced them to many people around the world through their numerous connections. As a result, Morian guild was now much bigger than they were 10 years ago.
Morian guild was now exerting their influence all over the world by using their prophet’s ability in the light and monopolizing the Amulet in the dark.
“Because, magic is… only reserved for us.”
Recently, a man named Yoo Seodam used a similar power to the Amulet. But that would not be better than what they, who have been steadily developing magic while hiding in the dark for years, had. Although they were buried in science in modern times, they were now able to put magic into objects!
Until now, they haven’t been able to produce magic with a destructive power comparable to that of S-rank ability. But their magic utility could be said to be superior to any other abilities.
“Miss Avon.”
Voices flew in from the air. Avon answered without even turning his head.
“Tell me.”
“The Prophet has come.”
“Let her in.”
Soon the door of the office opened, and Yekaterina walked in with staggered steps. Her hair had lost its color, and it faded into white around the waist, her pupils had also lost their light and now she could only vaguely know if there was anything in front of her. Nevertheless, Yekaterina raised her head clearly and made eye contact with Avon.
“I saw a prophecy.”
“Tell me about it.”
“Something will happen in Seoul, Korea. The exact location of the disaster will be concert venue of the singer ‘Hellony’”
“Hellony, huh?”
Yekaterina spoke in a trembling voice.
“But something is weird. I couldn’t hear anything there. There’s no shouting or screaming. It was so quiet.”
“…….?”
Then, the impending disaster had something to do with sound. Yekaterina’s prediction was outstanding, Avon could see the keyword of disaster in advance.
“Maybe, thousands of people will die. We have to stop it.”
“What’s the exact date?”
“I think it will be sooner or later….”
“I see. Hmm.”
Avon smiled after thinking about something for a while. It was a smile with no emotion.
“We need to find something that relates to sound first. I get it now please go back.”
“Huh? You must declare your prophecy to the world like usual…”
“Yes, I’ll take care of it, so go back, Yekaterina.”
“…..”
Still looking uncomfortable, Yekaterina stood there for a long time, before eventually realizing that there was nothing she could do and walked away. Right after Yekaterina left the room Avon started drawing on the card with a pen. Then, a woman in a robe besides her said,
“Should I inform the emergency response headquarters?”
“No, you don’t need to.”
“Is that so?”
Avon took a pile of papers out of the drawer. It was a paper full of records of DR.
Dimensional returnees, or people from Murim, had learned very special powers in other worlds. But, they were prohibited from using their powers by someone very powerful. But it had been four years since they came back from this world. Avon found out that her Amulet could temporarily block the ban.
She then investigated DR and contacted several Dr who had severe withdrawal symptoms because they could not use their Mugong and tempted them to use it with her magic. Although the time her Amulet could deceive the ban was short. Ten sheets of the talisman, it was difficult to make even one, were made and presented to a DR in order to acquire the knowledge known as Mugong.
But in the end, it was stolen.
‘I.. I have to f…find it.’
‘What are you looking for?’
‘Sound. A more beautiful sound.’
‘If that’s the case, we’ll be able to—’
‘No! It’s impossible!’
Avon recalled the last memory she shared just before she left. It wasn’t a very pleasant thing. Avon was a magician and businessman who seeked real gains, yet she lost even after investing 10 Amulets.
“It would be better to cause a disaster in Korea and let the ‘Supreme One’ judge her.”
That woman was already completely insane and it was impossible for her to turn around.
It’s better for her to die.
“Don’t tell anyone about this prophecy.”
Geom-hee, Ha Sunyoung. Thanks to her identity as someone from Murim, things got easier. Maybe the stalker knows how to handle the sound in the first place? It was easy to guess, but there was no way to find out the culprit.
“It’ll be fine. Well, I don’t think there’s going to be any more leaks in the waiting room.”
Ha Sun-young said as she touched the temporary soundproof wall installed inside the waiting room. It was not just an ordinary soundproof wall. It was imbued with Yoo Seodam’s magic to block the sound. The stalker would no longer be able to see through this wall from any distance. Of course, she was capable enough to penetrate it from a close distance, but Ha Sun-young wouldn’t stay still.
“She dares to pester Hellony?”
Ha Sun-young said under her breath. She looked as unreliable as ever, but if anything happened right now, she was the only one who could deal with it.
“Huh? But what’s wrong with your eyes? Are you wearing contact lenses?”
Taylor asked when she saw Seodam’s white eyes while he was working on the soundproof wall with his magic.
“Something happened.”
When he lifted his palm and rubbed his eyes, mana flowed into his eyes. Taylor looked surprised when she saw his black eyes had returned thanks to the ‘magic lens.’
It would be better for him if the magic lens would continue to be maintained. It was very uncomfortable to re-activate it to cover his white eyes every time he finished using magic.
But of course, this was considered a small sacrifice for something as grand as an E-rank library.
“Hey, what are you thinking about so much? Do you have any idea how to catch him?”
“What’s the point of worrying about something you can’t even detect?”
As Taylor and Ha Sun-young spoke sequentially, Hellony, who was putting on the makeup chair, and was getting ready to start the performance, looked at me with anxious eyes.
it was definitely true.
The opponent was someone from Murim. She was someone who could avoid the detection of S-rank soundwaves. Even Ha Sun-young’s attack could be deflected even though it is a long distance attack, it meant that their opponent was at least at around SS rank level.
Yoo Seodam couldn’t protect anyone here on his own.
There were 2 S-rank superhuman and SS-rank martial artists here in this waiting room. By comparison, Seodam only had D-rank physical ability, swordsmanship, and magic at the level between two and three circles.
However, just because he didn’t have superpowers didn’t mean he couldn’t think, right?
First of all, what was the reason this stalker was so obsessed with Hellony?
The right answer was…
You didn’t have to know.
The second question, how did this Martial artist from Murim who used the power of sound, escape the influence of the ban?
The right answer is….
You didn’t have to know this either.
Not only was it a question that couldn’t be answered right away, but perhaps this incident had something to do with the protagonist Lee Dong-joon’s ‘correction.’ It was impossible to analyze ‘correction’ with common sense.
It was more important for Seodam to worry about the cliché that will take place after that.
Lastly, the third question. What kind of ‘story’ happened here?
According to his findings, including the story from Geom-hee and the Emperor, Dharma dyed his hands with a lot of blood when he was still in Murim. He committed too many murders in the name of justice. Perhaps the theme of his story when he returned to Earth were ‘atonement’ and ‘peace.’
The theme of peace would have been carried out through her daughter Shin Hye-ji and Cheonma Seol jungyeon. If Lee Dong-joon’s theme was really mixed with atonement, it is likely that Hellony’s concert would be a mess.
People who couldn’t overcome their withdrawal symptoms went on a rampage because of the ban. Of all people, these people would kill countless people and at the same time damage her daughter, Shin Hye-ji.
After arriving late, Dharma would have managed to save Shin Hye-ji by overpowering the Stalker.
And maybe he would realize something along the lines of ‘Oh, my wrong judgment has damaged my daughter’. After that, he would change his policy or completely lift the ban, or whatever, but it wasn’t Yoo Seodam’s job until then.
It was a story that anyone could think of. So, it may be said that it was a nonsensical story. But the fact that Shin Hye-ji came to see Hellony’s performance and the fact that someone from Murim was wandering around Hellony was enough evidence to support that nonsensical story.
After all, the protagonist’s story always followed a cliché.
In fact, even without the theme of atonement, there was no problem.
The most important thing was that Shin Hye-ji came to see the performance anyway.
“Hmm..”
“Oh, damn…”
“I’m sure we have no choice but to cancel the performance.”
Unlike the 3 women who were at a loss because they couldn’t see the answer, Yoo Seodam felt his head was cool.
‘Things are starting to unravel.’
The plan to hunt the Lv500 protagonist, which had become darker and darker, had now been reignited.
For that purpose..
Yoo Seodam presented his thoughts to the girls. He met Hellony’s, Taylor’s, and Ha Sun-young’s eyes one by one.
“Maybe if there is a battle, there will be a lot of casualties, Even if Ha Sun-young fights back, she won’t be able to overpower her at once. But due to the nature of the stalker’s eumgong, if a wide-area attack occurs, everyone will eventually be damaged.”
Hellony agreed by nodding her head. In fact, she was also one of the superpowers who couldn’t control her abilities.
“In addition, Ha Sun-young isn’t allowed to perform recklessly, right?”
“That’s, uh, yes.”
In the end, the only way left was to evacuate all these people. Hellony, with a dark look, tried to contact the manager and tell him to cancel the show immediately, but Yoo Seodam stopped her.
“If we cancel the show, we can’t catch the stalker now, can we?”
“You are right… Is there a way?”
“We just need to call the strongest allies who can subdue the Eumgong practitioner.”
“Yes?”
He looked at three pairs of eyes who seemed to be asking him where such a person was in the world.
“I mean, the supreme one. The mastermind behind the ‘ban’ on all Murim people on earth.”
“You mean the head of DR? Does that make sense?”
“Seo, Seodam. The DR from Murim as well as the Hunter association were also looking for him, but they can’t find them, especially the Supreme One…”
“Don’t you know that the Supreme Dharma doesn’t follow anyone’s orders, Seodam?”
Three of them reacted negatively, but Yoo Seodam started tapping on his smartphone in response.
* * *
Fwooossh!! Fwwoooshhh!!
Knock, Knock.
Despite the heavy snowstorm, he knocked on the small cabin and heard a voice from inside.
‘Come on in.’
When he opened the door carefully and went inside, the figure of Seol Jungyeon lying on the sofa as she bit the cherry in her mouth was revealed. She was completely different from the past when she always looked sad.
She lay gracefully in a white suit. She was more beautiful, more fascinating than anything else in the world. Moreover, she had a charm that made even the Supreme Dharma, whose mind had never been shaken, look at her twice.
She turned her eyes and asked Lee Dong joon.
“You came earlier than before this time. What’s the matter?”
“I brought the horns of Chilgaksu.”
“Oh, that.”
Since Seol Jung-yeon said she wanted to have it, Lee Dong-joon invested all his time wandering around all the dungeons around the world. In the end, he successfully secured the horn of Chilgaksu. But Seol jungyeon lifted her white toe and pointed somewhere without even paying attention to them.
“Put it in that corner.”
“Is it okay if I just put it there?”
“It does not matter.”
“….”
Although she said so intentionally, Lee Dong-joon put the horns Chilgaksu in the corner as Seol Jungyeon told him to do so with a carefree expression. He even put a plastic on top of it afraid it might accumulate dust. Seol Jungyeon was irritated by the way he pretended to be uselessly sincere, but she didn’t show it on her face.
“If you have anything else you want, feel free to tell me. If it’s something I can get, I’ll get it.”
“Well……”
Dharma’s eyes slightly turned to the side when Seol Jung-yeon’s posture collapsed with her hair hanging down the sofa. There was almost no skin being shown since it was obviously a suit covering the whole body. But the fine white ankle, the wrist. No, it was just that her existence itself that was so fascinating that he couldn’t keep his eyes off her.
“Well, what do we do now?”’
‘Should I just send him back? Or should we play tricks on him, like what he asked me to?’
While she was thinking about it, Lee Dong-joon took out his smartphone. Quickly, his expression hardened.
Bewildered. Impatient. And angry.
The Supreme Dharma would never show his feelings.
Cheonma watched him full of curiosity.
‘Oh, my God. Has that man finally started to do something?’
Cheonma, who guessed it was time, covered her lips with her sleeve and laughed. Then, Lee Dong-joon said as he tried to hide his urgency as much as possible.
“I’ll just go back.”
“Are you bored of me?”
“No such thing!!”
“Really? Hmmmm….”
If it was the usual Seol Jungyeon, she would cold heartedly react to him. It was the first time that Seol Jungyeon talked to him with such a longing in her voice, so Dharma couldn’t easily turn around despite his urgent need.
Then another text message came to his smartphone.
[Yoo Seo-dam: Please come here now. Some Eumgong practitioner is wreaking havoc at the concert hall, and Shin Hye-ji is also watching the concert here.]
“Yeah, I’m bored…..”
And somehow, Cheonma’s attitude continued to be fatal.
It kept Dharma’s mind agitated and confused.
-Calm down!! Don’t ever lose your composure!
‘I am calm.’
-Don’t just keep your eyes on it, focus on it! If not you’ll lose your composure,
‘Okay, stop nagging.’
After breathing heavily and calming his chest, Dharma replied to Cheonma.
“I’m sorry, but I have to go now. I’ll come back again.”
“You are not fun.”
Seol Jung-yeon turned away, and Lee Dong-joon, who was looking at her back with regret, disappeared from the spot.
As soon as he was gone, Seol jungyeon broke out with a grin that she was trying hard to suppress.
‘I’m getting more and more curious.’
What’s the identity of the man who could easily break down Dharma’s pretentious mask that even the people from Murim couldn’t do?
Somehow her heart began to race, but she held it in.
‘You said you’d pick me up.’
She was waiting for the day he would visit her.
