Episode 305
Episode 305, two days ago
Two days to go to Busan.
I visited the Osan Industrial Complex north of Bongilcheon with Jang Hyeon-deok.
“It’s inconvenient to come all the way here without a car.”
Jang Hyeon-deok looked around with an eerie expression.
It’s not a place where you have to risk your life just to visit, like some special areas in Paju, but it can’t be said to be a place that good Paju citizens can visit comfortably.
“Who is going to come and ask? let’s go.”
A neighborhood where all types of businesses, small factories, and special types of infrastructure are concentrated.
It is also a place where many suspicious people from various backgrounds wander, especially because of some of the services it provides.
“You might get bitten. Do you see it over there?”
Jang Hyeon-deok whispers while hanging on my back.
Strange-looking people sitting in front of a convenience store located in an alley of an industrial complex and drinking during the day.
No, people?
Although it looks similar to a human at first glance, its body proportions are subtly different.
Fangs protruding through the lips, abnormally swollen tumors all over the body, and black mucus spitting out from the gurgling mouth.
It’s not a monster.
Those who have physical problems due to Cthulhu mythological contamination or the influence of excessive magic power. This is only a phenomenon that occurred because the manifestation of the supernatural ability affected the appearance. Being wary of someone just because they have a slightly different appearance is discrimination.
Jang Hyeon-deok is also not wary of them because of their appearance. Black clothes dressed neatly. A black feather brooch attached to the collar.
“They’re jackdaws.”
They are mutant criminals from waste alley, commonly called jackdaws.
I rarely go outside of Gwangtan-dong, but to be seen in public like this in broad daylight… … .
“The Black King is feeling uneasy these days.”
“Why is that woman feeling uncomfortable again?”
Jang Hyeon-deok continues to whisper at the back of my neck.
“Hey, stay away. It’s hot, man.”
Jang Hyeon-deok continues to cling to me even when I push him away.
“Oh my, it’s all because of the wizard!”
“Hmm.”
Well, I know the reason.
If you go a little further east from here, you will find Gwangtan-dong.
Since the Black King considers Gwangtan-dong to be his land, he probably views the Osan Industrial Complex as his front yard.
However, Ms. Yeom Geum-ja of the Bongilcheon faction, which has recently grown in power and power, raised a counterargument to that idea.
‘Fuck you. Geumja Yeom said, ‘Why is this your land?’ and began to slowly approach the Osan Industrial Complex.
“Hmm, the atmosphere doesn’t look very good.”
Although an explicit fight did not begin, the Black King probably planted the jackdaws to deliver a message equivalent to ‘Sister, do you want to lose?’
“It’s not just that. “I heard that the Black King is among the victims of what the wizard did this time.”
Most of the criminals from the back alleys that Manse Ilwongyo brought to Buyeo were friends with connections to the Black King.
“Ha, that’s a bit unfair.”
I didn’t kill anyone in Buyeo.
Yang Seo-ho defeated them all.
Ah, [the one who laughs].
He may have eaten a few people, but… … .
Come to think of it, the troubleshooter named Rhino, who was recently destroyed by Curtain Call in Sokcho, is also the Black King’s close younger brother.
“You saw the video, right? “It is said that all the people who died and were injured that day were because of the wizard.”
You guys saw it, right?
This is what a rumor is.
“If the Black King finds out that the wizard has appeared here… … There will definitely be chaos again. “You don’t really want to be friends with the Black King, do you?”
“Ugh, not the Black King.”
The Black King is honestly the type that I can’t handle. I waved my hands moderately and then spoke confidently.
“No one will know now anyway.”
Today I wore the [Bat Mask].
Since it is known that ‘Kim Shin-hwa is a magician wearing a mask,’ she can move around freely just by embodying a human face on top of the mask.
“Hmm, that face is quite striking as is.”
Jang Hyeon-deok looks at my face with a unique gaze.
Another problem is that the face is set too nicely due to the attractiveness stat being too high.
“Well, as long as it’s not Kim Shin-hwa, that’s fine.”
“That’s true, but… … .”
We had that conversation and visited an industrial company on the outskirts of the industrial complex.
* * *
“Here, we combined the parts provided to reinforce it into a scarab type, and changed the turbo unit to a V7.”
“V7? Are there any compatibility issues? “My Bungboong’s console was WIZ-4.”
“Ah, I know that we usually prefer swordfish. But it will be much better in terms of stability. “Let me show you the monitoring data here.”
“I’m worried because Bungbung was originally made based on the basic frame provided by the Transportation Association… … . Ah, it’s not bad, is it?”
Jang Hyeon-deok looks surprised as he looks at the graph the mechanic showed him.
“thing. Take a look. “The V7 is better because the exterior has now been replaced with a guard coat from Yonam Industrial.”
Jang Hyeon-deok nods his head and looks satisfied.
“But I feel like the talk is missing a bit here. Could you please fix this part?”

“uh? Is that possible? What about where?”
“No, this part right here. “It seems like the added barrier is interfering, so please lower the resistance value a little.”
He said he was an expert on vehicles so don’t get involved, but he seemed unexpected.
“Uh- this is… … . Since it is a magic stone unit, it cannot be done right away… … . “I have to call the augmentation magician I deal with, so tomorrow, um, could you wait a moment for this?”
A mechanic who looks embarrassed and has a troubled expression.
Jang Hyeon-deok looks at me while scratching his head.
“What’s the problem?”
“Oh right. “Wizard, can you fix this?”
“Uh… … . “Are you a wizard?”
“Well, that’s true.”
The mechanic said, pointing to one side of the vehicle.
“Here, there is a barrier generator attached to the back seat, right? this… … .”
Hyeondeok Jang and the mechanic’s explanation continues.
This time I hijacked an armored truck from the Foreigners Management Office. The very mobile prison where Dok Go-gyeom was imprisoned.
I decided to transplant the equipment used on the armored truck into Jang Hyeon-deok’s vehicle.
An engine with an output not permitted to civilians, a booster that operates based on magic stones, weapons with high firepower that are difficult to obtain even in this world, and a barrier device powerful enough to trap Dok Go-gyeom.
That’s why I ended up visiting an industrial company in this dangerous neighborhood, not the one where Jang Hyeon-deok does business.
‘In addition, it is difficult to find a good mechanic who can repair the items owned by the Foreigners Management Office.’
After hearing their explanation, I nodded.
“In short, the magic power generated from the barrier device reduces the efficiency of the booster, right? that’s right?”
“yes that’s right.”
“Can we just adjust the shielding level of this section?”
“Oh, yes. Can you see the track connected to the magic stone here? “You have to be able to use magic to control this, right?”
There were a lot of proper nouns that had never appeared in the game, so I wondered what they were talking about and it turned out to be no big deal.
I moved the magical power with a simple hand gesture – hundreds of circuits changed their form at once.
“Uh oh! “You can’t just change it like that!”
The mechanic’s scream.
“I might try turning that monitor back on.”
Eh? The mechanic looks at Jang Hyeon-deok with an expression of concern.
I don’t know much about machines, but if the problem is magical, it’s simple.
In addition to the shielding of the barrier, magical efficiency was increased, and while doing so, the performance of the booster was also improved.
Jang Hyeon-deok, who has been looking at me all this time, looks at me with a look of strong trust… … .
“Wizard, you can’t change things like that without even knowing! “Ugh, I really can’t stop you.”
“… … .”
* * *
“Hwaaaah!”
Cheers from Jang Hyeon-deok.
Buwaaaaaaa!!
A call van emitting engine noise with explosive force.
“Wizard! “This is really the best!”
Jang Hyeon-deok, who had been skeptical even after looking at the monitor, now looks at me with an expression full of joy.
“Do you like it?”
“Oh, of course.”
The call van accelerates further with a sound like “gwaaaaaaan.”
I don’t have a romantic interest in cars, so I can’t sympathize much, but looking at Jang Hyeon-deok’s reaction, I think it went well.
“But what on earth did you do in Busan to make such a huge renovation? Looking at the data earlier… … .”
Not only the booster and engine were changed.
Now, Jang Hyeon-deok’s Call Van has armor that can take fireballs head-on, an impact module that can hit Shantak, a 5.5mm Gatling gun with a firing rate of 4,000 rounds per minute, and a mobile prison that can also trap Dokgo-gyeom. A barrier has been installed.
Adding this and that to a limited-sized vehicle did create some operability issues, but… … .
“I can cover that well.”
This is solved with Jang Hyeon-deok’s super driving ability.
“No, that’s not it. What happens in Busan?”
“Do you know that you are Shogus?”
“I don’t know?”
“Did you see Yang Seo-ho?”
“eww… … . No matter how fast it gets, I don’t think it will be able to shake off Yang Seo-ho.”
“That’s not possible. “But you can’t go to Busan with a car that will be destroyed just by Yang Seo-ho passing nearby.”
“It’s terrible.”
“And that’s not all. “Did you watch the broadcast this morning?”
“Oh, that Cure press conference?”
It’s not just the Foreigners Management Office and Manse Ilwon Church that are angry with me. The indirectly related Black King was annoyed and-
“Cure Medical Care was so annoying.”
“That would be annoying. Because the wizard declared that they would destroy the world.”
Cure issued a statement saying that all of this was Kim Shin-hwa’s slander and declared that it would respond strongly, including legal options.
“If it’s a legal option, is getting sued?”
“What is a complaint? “How can I file a complaint when I don’t even know my address?”
Behind Cure Medical Care is the [source of life].
This means that when you go to Busan, you will be greeted by Cure Medical Care first.
“At least one or two assassins will stick around. Kid the guy who was obsessed with Park Gwang-rim last time – the guy who said something like that will also come.”
“Kid the-? “Is that your name?”
“No, it’s a nickname. Um, what was it?”
Why can’t I remember? That’s strange. I could barely remember his name.
“Ah, it’s Kid the Gunman. “I forgot for a moment.”
“For some reason, the wizard forgot something.”
“I know. uh… … . Ugh, damn it.”
What did I forget? No way.
Because of my intelligence stat, I have become unable to ever forget proper nouns that I have heard once.
I’ve pretended to forget it a few times as a joke or passed it off out of annoyance, but I’ve never forgotten the name or ability of an NPC that appears in [Cthulhu World].
No, I haven’t forgotten. There is only one case where this happens… … .
“Hyeondeok.”
“yes?”
“I called Park Kwang-rim and asked Kid the – what was it?”
“wiper?”
“okay. That guy. Ask him to research everything and find out what he does and what abilities he has. “I’ll give you Park Gwang-rim’s phone number.”
“Why didn’t you ask the wizard yourself-”
“No, don’t tell me the information you found out now, go home and tell me when I’m stable and comfortable.”
It would be difficult if you heard an unexpected word here and ended up destroying your car.
There is no way Jang Hyeon-deok knew about such a situation, but ‘the wizard is saying something strange again.’ He nodded, accepting it to that extent.
“Oh, but are you doing it now? “We’re all there now.”
“Uhm- Then you must never forget and do it. got it?”
“Wizard, are you sweating now?”
“No, I’m completely-very-fine?”
“Uhm. all right.”
The Cole van slowly slowed down and began to climb the hill.
“There was a road just yesterday, but it’s gone.”
Not long ago, there was a road here.
However, as if that past was a lie, the road has turned into a forest filled with soggy poison, and trees growing everywhere are spreading out their branches as if they are trying to catch us.
Ujijijik- Ujijik- Ujijijik-
The Cole van keeps moving forward, breaking tree branches.
Although it was clearly daytime, the surrounding area was already becoming gloomy.
A purple glow that creeps ominously along with the darkness.
The Osan Industrial Complex, where we stayed a little while ago, was a dangerous place, but it was a place that did not exceed the scope of human beings.
However, this is a land where there is a form of danger that humans cannot understand.
One of the strange phenomena that occurs in Paju – a forest of death that grows and expands endlessly.
Because it’s Tanhyeon.
I pointed to the huge rock wall.
“that’s right. We’re all here. “Pull it in front of me.”
A bizarre rock wall covered in disgusting dark green moss and unpleasant purple mold. And a huge iron gate suddenly attached to the center.
This is the entrance to an underground bomb shelter previously owned by Cheongho.
It is a refuge, a hideout, and a prison created by a paranoid madman to prepare for the destruction of the world.
And the place where [The One Who Laughs] seeped from the darkness and killed Cheongho.
“are you okay?”
Jang Hyeon-deok looks at me with a worried expression.
“are you okay. “I came here to have a conversation.”
Dokgo-gyeom was trapped inside this.
