“What the fuck!! “I did it again, I did it again!!”
Yang Jung-geun screamed as if he was struggling.
The taggers who had already gathered at the sound of the commotion were watching from a distance.
“Kim Jin-seong, you don’t mind grinding your teeth!!”
The taggers who were looking at Yang Jung-geun looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
On the other hand, Yang Jung-geun was absolutely crazy and on the verge of action.
I wouldn’t have been so angry if a few combat group members had died while fighting calmly.
The people who were taken by the currently unknown skill were, of course, those with reconnaissance abilities. They were essential personnel for carrying out the operation.
“Hey, you fucking bastard!”
Yang Jung-geun’s anger naturally turned towards Lee Deok-gu, who was still lying down.
He walked up to him, grabbed Lee Deok-gu’s hair, and roughly lifted him up.
“You did this on purpose, right? “Didn’t they intentionally take the scout team out and gather them together so that Kim Jin-seong could kidnap them outright?”
Yang Jung-geun speaks with gritted teeth while glaring with eyes burning with anger.
To those words, Lee Deok-gu showed an unexpected reaction.
“이 개새끼야!!”
“······!”
Lee Deok-gu, who couldn’t even make eye contact, shouted with an evil expression on his face.
Lee Deok-gu poured out his anger like a rapid-fire gun at Yang Jung-geun, who seemed unexpected and startled.
“I knew Kim Jin-seong would be like this and gathered the scouts separately? Now you treat people like spies?!”
“what···.”
“I just tolerated it, and now you’re accusing me of being a traitor for no reason?! “Stop being so forceful, you son of a bitch!”
Yang Jung-geun stared blankly for a moment at Lee Deok-gu, who was swearing at him.
Soon his face turned bright red. Now the anger had reached his head.
“This bastard got swollen with liver…!”
Soon, energy spread out like an explosion from his body, which had raised mana to its full potential.
Yang Jung-geun raises his fist as if to strike him down. but,
“Yes, kill it!!”
Despite that, Lee Deok-gu did not lose and continued to shout as if struggling.
“Kill me and find the thief without a single scout!!”
“······!”
Yang Jung-geun’s actions stopped.
‘That’s right, fuck…!’
Only then did Yang Jung-geun realize that there was only one tagger left in front of him who could use the scouting skill: Lee Deok-gu.
Suddenly, what Pungbitgaram said came to mind.
[It is said that all thieves only select those with specialized skills for survival. It would probably be really hard to find if it was hidden in plain sight.]
In other words, in order to find the thief, the power of a scout was more desperately needed than anyone else.
That is why Yang Jung-geun also formed a separate reconnaissance team.
‘But that doesn’t mean we can save this bastard… No, no! Think rationally, Yang Jung-geun!’
If he couldn’t control his momentary emotions and killed Lee Deok-gu, it was obvious that finding the thief would be extremely difficult in the future.
Yang Jung-geun begins to struggle greatly between emotions and reason.
Lee Deok-gu internally sighed in relief as he looked at his shaking eyes.
‘Whew… I ate it…!’
In Kim Jin-seong’s plan, a stable situation was needed where Lee Deok-gu could stay next to Yang Jung-geun and interact with Kim Jin-seong behind the scenes.
– No matter what you do, you can create a situation in which Yang Jung-geun can never be defeated.
At first, I didn’t immediately understand what Kim Jin-seong said, but after listening to the entire operation, I understood.
It was said that if only one person with scouting ability remained, Lee Deok-gu would never be able to be kicked out.
Just looking at it now, you can see that the plan worked.
Obviously, given Yang Jung-geun’s personality, he is still shaking and hesitating to swing his fist without hesitation.
‘Yes, if you think about the other taggers, you’ll never be able to kill me!’
If you only care about Yang Jung-geun himself, it wouldn’t matter if you kill Lee Deok-gu now. Because Yang Jung-geun has already passed the preliminaries.
However, Yang Jung-geun’s goal was not to pass, but to kill Kim Jin-seong.
To kill Kim Jin-seong, Yang Jung-geun alone was not enough, and he had to work with many hunters.
And in order to lead them, you needed to appeal that you were acting for them.
However, if the only remaining scout was killed due to personal feelings, it was obvious that public sentiment would shake uncontrollably.
‘If you look at the expressions on the other taggers’ faces now, they won’t be able to kill me even more, right?’
When Lee Deok-gu thought that, Yang Jung-geun glanced towards Bonseong as if he was salty.
The expressions of most of the taggers watching were gradually becoming hardened or cold.
‘Pfft! Damn it…!’
I couldn’t lose the public support of the nearly 200 taggers just because of my personal feelings.
Yang Jung-geun began to slowly lower his raised hand.
“···Well, I won’t.”
Yang Jung-geun opened his raised fist and held it out to Lee Deok-gu.
Then he cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.
“I was so angry that I stopped… I judged too early.”
Lee Deok-gu laughed bitterly inwardly at the absurd change in appearance in an instant.
I never thought my attitude would change 180 degrees all at once.

Yang Jung-geun glanced at Lee Deok-gu, who was slowly waking up while clutching his throbbing chin, and then mumbled as if to explain.
“I’m sorry for hitting you. But you have to understand that too! “Isn’t it a bad idea to drink alcohol right before going on a mission?”
“······.”
“We each did something wrong, so let’s just slap each other and move on. ha ha ha···.”
Lee Deok-gu, who was looking at Yang Jung-geun, who was smiling awkwardly, turned around with a cold expression.
“I’m just going to go do maintenance.”
Lee Deok-gu walked away with such a cold attitude that it felt embarrassing for those watching.
Yang Jung-geun, who was left alone, distorted his face.
‘Ha, the situation has gone crazy.’
Now, Deokgu Lee’s ability was essential to catch the thief. He was no longer able to deal with things as before.
Meanwhile, Lee Deok-gu, who had come inside the main castle, was writing a message to Kim Jin-seong.
– It went as planned.
* * *
‘It has to be that way.’
After checking Lee Deok-gu’s message, Kim Jin-seong put down his smartphone.
Then I turned my attention to the notification window in front of me.
▷ Infrared Eye: By injecting mana into the eye, you can detect the infrared energy of creatures in front of a certain field of vision.
▷ Vibration detection: Vibration hitting the ground can be sensitively detected. The higher the attribute holder’s level, the higher the distance and accuracy.
▷ Sensitive hearing: Hearing ability greatly increases.
The things that came to mind now were the characteristics acquired by eliminating the scout hunters who had kidnapped them.
In addition, I acquired two skills, but they were not useful so I abandoned them a long time ago.
‘With this, we can now detect our surroundings more sensitively.’
It already had the ‘Location Detection’ and ‘Animal Sixth Sense’ characteristics, but the more detection characteristics it had, the better.
Kim Jin-seong was now confident that he would not be surprised by anyone unless there were special circumstances such as a status abnormality.
Deokgu Lee:
-What should I do now?
At that time, a notification appeared on my smartphone again.
Jinseong Kim began typing on his smartphone at a fast pace.
Jinseong Kim:
– When will you go out?
Deokgu Lee:
– In 20 minutes.
Jinseong Kim:
– Please contact us again in 20 minutes. I will give you instructions again then.
Deokgu Lee:
– Okay.
After checking the contents, Jinseong Kim put his smartphone in his pocket and ran away. It was towards the sewers where the Quagmires were.
Jinseong Kim sensed the presence of Quagmire with his increased detection characteristics and increased his speed.
‘I have to hunt without rest. ‘Time is running out to collect 5,000 more points until the next operation.’
In order to execute the strategy that came to mind, Kim Jin-seong was currently unable to stop hunting even for a moment.
* * *
“Come on, let’s go out!”
20 minutes later, with Yang Jung-geun shouting, a large group of over 100 taggers came out of the main castle.
Deokgu Lee glanced at his smartphone. Sure enough, a message arrived from Jinseong Kim.
Jinseong Kim:
– First, destroy half of the surveillance eyes I planted. You only need to remove the ones that are floating low.
Lee Deok-gu faithfully carried out Kim Jin-seong’s instructions.
“Watching eye on the left!”
pop!
“One more to the right!”
pop!
“That’s it! “It’s all taken care of.”
Those with long-distance skill abilities who relax their attack posture at Lee Deok-gu’s shout.
But in fact, there were still three watchful eyes hovering above the sky.
“Are you sure you caught everything?”
Yang Jung-geun asks with a doubtful expression.
Deokgu Lee answered without even looking at him.
“That’s correct. “Trust me.”
And then he moved forward without any hesitation.
The back was so imposing that even Yang Jung-geun had nothing more to say.
“···Keep moving.”
In the end, Yang Jung-geun does not say anything more and gives instructions to his companions.
Lee Deok-gu glanced at his unhappy expression and smiled inwardly.
‘Hehehe, you’re going to go crazy now that you can’t go as you please, right?’
In an instant, we went from being superior to being equals now… No, in a way, the relationship between the two has been reversed.
From Lee Deok-gu’s perspective, it was a situation that made him burst into laughter.
“hey! What are you doing?! “Monsters are approaching!”
Yang Jung-geun shouts out loud, pointing to a flock of man-eating birds descending from the sky on the left.
Seeing that the tone and voice were the same as when he was scolding Lee Deok-gu before, it seemed like he was boiling inside.
At the moment when the left taggers were about to attack the flying man-eating birds, Lee Deok-gu glanced at his smartphone again.
Before I knew it, a new message from Kim Jin-seong had arrived.
Jinseong Kim:
– And after remembering the main conversations between taggers, you can report them to me from time to time.
‘···It seems impossible for surveillance to reach the wiretap.’
That was when Lee Deok-gu thought that much.
Ji-ing right next to you! A sound like a laser being fired was heard.
When I turned my head,
puck!
Lee Deok-gu could see something that looked like a laser hitting and shooting down a man-eating bird that was flying toward Yang Jung-geun.
“Well done, Hwang Bo-kyung!”
Yang Jung-geun grabbed the shoulder of the young man who shot the laser, shook it and praised him.
“You can keep doing it like that! When you catch the first thief, make sure you run first. got it?”
“yes.”
After hearing Hwang Bo-kyung’s answer, Yang Jung-geun shouted to everyone around him.
“Again, the ‘ace team’ I selected earlier must continue to gather around me! That way, even if you happen to run into Kim Jin-seong, you can focus your firepower right away! “You know, right?”
Lee Deok-gu, who was listening to Yang Jung-geun’s speech next to him, immediately took out his smartphone and tapped it.
Deokgu Lee:
– The ‘Ace Team’ is a group of about 20 taggers gathered around Yang Jung-geun.
Even if it is sent like this, Kim Jin-seong will be able to confirm the existence of the ace team through the surveillance eyes that have not been removed.
Sure enough, a reply came right away.
Jinseong Kim:
– check.
“There’s another flock of man-eating birds ahead!”
After seeing the reply, Lee Deok-gu put his smartphone in his pocket and pointed forward and shouted.
Lee Deok-gu thought as he watched everyone prepare for battle.
‘You always have to be careful and careful not to get caught.’
The most important thing is not to find out that you are in secret with Kim Jin-seong.
In order to do this, you must consistently show Yang Jung-geun and others that you are always paying attention to surveillance through radar.
* * *
After a while.
“I guess this is the West River.”
Yang Jung-geun muttered while looking at the wide river in front of him.
Looking at the river connected to the sea, it seemed to be near the lower reaches of the western end of the island.
Yang Jung-geun looked back at Pungbitgaram.
“You said there was definitely someone hiding on the river side, right?”
“yes. Of course, there is a high possibility that he has moved to another place now…”
“No, there is.”
Hearing Lee Deok-gu’s voice cut off Pungbitgaram’s answer, both of them turned to look at him.
“The radar is detecting something hiding in the grass near the sun star, exactly 320 meters away.”
“…Couldn’t you only sense 100m?”
In response to Yang Jung-geun’s question, Lee Deok-gu made an expression that asked what he was talking about.
“You said roughly a hundred meters, but you never said the exact distance.”
When Yang Jung-geun saw Lee Deok-gu answering no, a tendon appeared on his forehead.
He felt as if he was slowly creeping up on him now that he was the only one with scouting skills left.
‘You arrogant bastard… just catch all the thieves. I’ll turn your whole body into mush right away!’
Yang Jung-geun, gritting his teeth inwardly, shouted at Poongbitgaram without being able to hide his irritated mood.
“What are you doing?! “Why don’t you go to the location you just mentioned and bring the thief with you?!”
“···.”
Pungbitgaram’s expression crumpled at the sudden shout.
But that didn’t mean I could attack him carelessly. This was because it was obvious that if Yang Jung-geun changed his mind just a little bit, he would order the taggers to kill him first.
‘Fuck, I’m holding back because I’m really dirty…’
Pungbitgaram transforms into smoke and moves to the river while engraving countless unbearable feelings inside.
At that time, Deok-gu Lee was receiving a new message through Jin-seong Kim.
Deokgu Lee:
– I delivered it to Yang Jung-geun exactly as you mentioned.
Jinseong Kim:
– Has confirmed. From now on, we will begin the operation to eliminate Yang Jung-geun.
Operation to eliminate Yang Jung-geun!
Lee Deok-gu’s eyes trembled when he saw the reply.
