Damned 13th Regression – 91



< Episode 91 – Half of the Company >

“Director’s secretary Cesc is dead.”

Martunis Deputy Director of the Escort Division nodded.

“What are you thinking? Manager Jeong Hyeon-do.”

“sorry. “It’s all my fault.”

Jeong Hyeon-do bows.

There was silence between the two.

“Manager Jeong Hyeon-do. “Is there something you didn’t tell me?”

“…. no. “That doesn’t happen.”

“Manager Jeong you know how much I pushed you when you joined a few years ago right?”

Manager Jeong has omitted countless reports so far.

Joo Gong-hyeok deliberately did not report the number of cases in which he killed 8000 necro mafia members reducing it to 800 or capturing demon contractors.

Martunis was suspicious.

Is he trying to escape from his control?

“I know how much the Deputy Director thinks of me. From next time definitely…”

“From next time?”

Martunis took out a newspaper.

‘Special Task Unit 0! Even the mission on the 10th floor is too much!’

‘Fall into Contractor X’s trick! 120 Company citizens dead!’

‘A surprising remark from field worker Team Leader Joo Gong-hyeok! The response was delayed due to the special manager’s indecisive attitude…’

‘Is the escort business okay as is? business? ‘Instead of making a profit the financial health indicator is the worst with 1100 blue coins invested per year!’

The newspaper article was full of criticism.

“We have already lost trust. And the main team leader.”

His eyes turned to Joo Gong-hyeok who was standing next to him.

“What are the rash words and actions mentioned in the article?

“Don’t you know what kind of repercussions it will have if a member of the same organization says something like this?”

Joo Gong-hyuk similarly bowed.

“sorry. “Before that I have something to tell you.”

Without answering he strode forward and placed a piece of paper on Martunis’ desk.

“…? “What is this?”

“It’s a business card.”

“business card?”

The business card said this:

‘Joo Gong-hyuk & Sanchez Solver Office!’

‘Special Agent 0 and Ace Joo Gong-hyeok arrested 12000 mafia members! ‘Sanchez a demon hunter who is known to no one in the entire unique city!’

“If it’s Sanchez isn’t he the demon hunter you saved last time?”

“you’re right.”

The conductor’s hands trembled as he read the business card.

‘We strictly process bounties from necromancers and contractors and also accept individual requests depending on the situation.’

‘Mission failure damage insurance 3000 navy blue coin!’

‘Currently maintaining mission cooperation relationships with 12 hunter offices! Large-scale missions of 100 or more people welcome!

Martunis crumpled his business card.

“So what do you want to say?”

“I’m quitting that company.”

widely

Gonghyuk held out eight white envelopes.

“This is a resignation letter including Soma Sangai Hayeonsi. “It’s the last day so I’d like you to fix it.”

“You prepared it before you left?”

“I’m sorry if you think that way. “It might be added to the article tomorrow.”

Joo Gong-hyuk returned his employee ID card.

“Starting tomorrow let’s meet as competitors.”

Martunis was dumbfounded.

“Joo Gong-hyeok. You are part of our company. Do you think it will end the way you want?”

“I will take care of that. “Okay then.”

Gonghyuk turned his back and left the room.

Inside the room a small desk shattered loudly.

On the way out of the escort division’s official residence.

A man neatly dressed in a gray suit bowed his head.

“My name is Second Secretary Vincent. “The director wants to see Joo Gong-hyuk.”

“okay?”

Behind it was a car made by talented people in the industry.

Gonghyuk got into the car.

A fluffy sheet filled with slime wrapped around the body.

In Babel cars were expensive decorations made by artisans.

Usually they would ride an avatar or a summoned animal or if their abilities were high they would run for tens of kilometers.

After driving for about 15 minutes I saw the company’s business headquarters.

The office of Alfred the Company’s foreign affairs director.

“I had high hopes for you.”

Alfred said without even looking away from the document.

“Because he was a talented person that I personally brought over at the 7th Unique City Meeting beating out prominent cities such as Deus and the Knights Templar.”

The foreign affairs director spoke in a low tone.

In the office in addition to Joo Gong-hyeok and Alfred 100 hunters were lined up with their arms folded.

It meant to stop thinking nonsense.

“I’m really disappointed that Cesc is dead.”

“I’m sorry for not living up to your expectations.”

Alfred looked up from his papers and laid back.

The old backrest fell over with a squeak.

“Cesc was a truly talented person. If he were alive he would definitely have risen to the position of director. “It’s a pity.”

While thinking of Cesc he looked at Joo Gong-hyuk.

“But a dead person is a dead person and you have to think about the present.

“I need you to work for me because I lost him.”

He took out a gold-plated cigarette from a drawer.

“You were a cigarette fanatic weren’t you? “I’ll take one.”

“what. “Without hesitation.”

The guard captain’s eyebrows twitched.

Naturally the two smoked together and smoke rose into the office.

“Anyone can fail. I forgive your failures.

If you don’t like the escort department I’ll find a position for you as my junior assistant or as a personal escort. “Don’t mess around outside and come back.”

“Director of Foreign Affairs.”

Joo Gong-hyeok answered calmly.

“It doesn’t end like that.”

“barely?”

“The escort business is not the problem.

“Now the company is full of parasites.”

The guard captain looked at Alfred.

Should I stop this rude guy now?

“If you have something to say please continue.”

Alfred passed on curiously.

Gonghyuk smiled and continued speaking.

“There are as many as 10000 necromancers and contractors that I have dealt with since coming into Special Affairs Department 0.”

The guards made dumbfounded faces.

I heard he was a good guy but his bragging was ridiculous.

Alfred who had only heard that there were more than 3000 people seemed a little surprised.

“Wow I caught more than I thought.”

“What would have happened if these people had stayed the same?”

“hmm”

“I can guarantee you nothing would have happened. “The company would have just quietly rotted away.”

During the last regression the Company fell to the Necromancers several times.

Joo Gong-hyeok dealt with those necromancer factions one by one.

“The pus was squeezed out but the cleaning wasn’t finished yet.”

“Are there more invisible pests?”

“no. There aren’t many of them left. Criminals have decreased. But rather the crime rate has increased.”

Joo Gong-hyeok looked around the guards for a moment.

“Could you please take over these guys for a moment? “They are not the right kind of friends for this kind of story.”

“her.”

Originally it was a bodyguard that had to remain silent.

However at Joo Gong-hyeok’s provocation they laughed without realizing it.

“You’ve always been so confident. “It’s amazing to see him come out like that even after failing in his mission.”

“If you’re too intimidated and can’t say anything bigger problems arise.”

“Hehe you’re really learning good words.”

Alfred lightly waved his hand.

“Everyone except the guard captain please leave.”

“Director of Foreign Affairs!”

The guard captain shouted in opposition.

“Take away this guy’s weapon and stand back. If something happens you can press the pager.

“If you open the door 100 people will come rushing in so what can he do?”

“…… All right.”

The guard captain calmly examined Joo Gong-hyeok’s body.

Gaekachu Hontar and more than 10 weapons were given away.

and….

“Give me your hand.”

The guard captain pulled Joo Gong-hyeok’s hand.

And pulls out the knife.

[Skill activated. ‘Ghost Slash (A+)’]

The sword passed through Joo Gong-hyeok’s right hand.

Suddenly all four fingers except the thumb fell off.

“This is also a weapon. “I’ll put it back on when I’m done.”

“Thank you for leaving at least one blemish.”

Gonghyuk responded by twiddling his thumb.

If I really wanted to neutralize it I would have simply cut off its wrist.

Nevertheless the reason he cut off four fingers was to express his anger at having just behaved arrogantly.

“We are leaving now.”

The escorts backed out the door.

There are three people left in the office.

Just Joo Gong-hyeok and the foreign affairs director’s guard.

“There is also a soundproofing spell in this room. “Don’t worry about security. Let’s talk about it.”

Gonghyuk nodded at his words.

“Then let’s begin the story.

The number of criminals has decreased but the number of crimes has increased. This means that the cornered necromancers have no choice but to take action.”

“So what happens then?”

When Alfred asked Gonghyeok answered by lighting the area where his finger was cut with a cigarette.

“Two months later the Foreign Affairs Director will be assassinated.”

“what?”

Alfred was so embarrassed that he almost dropped his cigarette.

“The church’s necromancers are preparing for an uprising. The assassination targets were ten people including me and the foreign affairs director.

“We will use the spies infiltrated within the escort division to neutralize the division and overthrow the company.”

“No does that mean so?”

Gonghyuk took out a document from his arms.

“Currently Necromancer apostles are joining the Company. Each one is at least an executive level.

“Please look at the vicious serial murder case here.”

There were three photos in the document.

A photo showing teeth marks all over the body as if it had been eaten.

A photo with only a lethal amount of blood remaining and no body.

A photo of severed heads strewn across a window.

“The serial cannibal incident on the left is the man-eater Pilatus.

The serial disappearance case in the center involves engineer Yabon Detoxter.

“The massacre of the Fixer’s office on the right was the work of Gu Yuk a blood assassin and Wayne Zhao a duelist.”

“hmm.”

Unexpectedly specific mention.

Alfred swallowed a groan.

“Ten of these apostles will gather together to fight. Their goal is to collapse the Company.

“The goal is to acquire this place after the unique city of Necropolis.”

“I guess that’s why I was planning to go to the escort division and do something.”

Alfred’s face became serious.

And I asked with doubt.

“But how do you know so much?”

“Before I explain that let me first say thank you.”

Joo Gong-hyeok stood up and bowed.

“Thank you for inheriting everything except the guard captain.”

The guard captain grabbed Joo Gong-hyeok’s shoulder due to his sudden behavior.

“hey! “Who are you to move carelessly…”

[Lucifer’s right wing (SS) deployment]

[Limited skill short-range magic spell (A++) activated]

The wings sprouting from the shoulder cut off the guard captain’s arm.

“Ugh!”

Usually it’s ‘Huh?’ After leaving a single word he would have died from Joo Gong-hyeok.

However the experienced guard captain took the pager with his free hand.

No I tried to take it.

Joo Gong-hyeok’s severed palm and left hand were holding his arm.

Genshinbeop Jujitsu One-handed limb twisting

Crunch clunk ─ clunk ─

The guard captain whose arm was caught spun several times in the air and the joints of his entire body were horribly bent.

Quang!

He fell on the desk his limbs twisted.

Alfred stood up suddenly.

“You guy!. “Wow!”

Joo Gong-hyeok’s kick broke Alfred’s collarbone.

The old man’s body smashes into the chair.

“Narrowly safe.”

Joo Gong-hyeok was struck in the collarbone below the neck.

Alfred’s necklace was hanging on his toes.

‘Saint Yeik’s Amulet (S).’

A protective item that resists all attribute magic and most curses.

“convoy!”

The soundproofing spell was gone and the pager had already been pressed.

“Director Hixton!”

The guards outside were startled and turned the doorknob.

A situation where the convoy is about to attack.

Alfred and Joo Gong-hyeok’s eyes met.

Gonghyuk’s eyes were shining blue.

[Skill activated! Rest brainwashing (A+)!]

[Dig into the subconscious of the person you make eye contact with and brainwash them!]

[Alfred’s will ability score is 299! Mental ability level 363! Revealing the strengths of a maverick!]

[Alfred resists brainwashing!]

Quick!

Joo Gong-hyeok’s heel entered the foreign affairs director’s chin.

Even if one’s will or mental resistance is high it is difficult to maintain consciousness if violence is also involved.

The foreign affairs director felt his consciousness fading along with the pain.

“How dare you at headquarters!”

99 elite guards arrived.

Each person is about to raise their weapon and cut off Joo Gong-hyeok’s entire body.

“Destroy this traitor!”

The foreign affairs director with a smashed jaw pointed at the guard captain.

Joo Gong-hyeok has suddenly hidden his wings.

He pulled out the guard captain’s scimitar and struck his neck with one strike.

The guard captain’s head rolled around the office with his eyes wide open.

“Big.”

The guards were dumbfounded.

However when Alfred struggled to stand up she supported him and treated his injuries with the avatar.

The corner of Joo Gong-hyeok’s mouth moved invisibly.

‘This ungrateful bastard…’

Alfred followed exactly what he whispered.

“This ungrateful bastard was the leader of the Necromancers! “When Joo Gong-hyeok here revealed their evil plan he tried to kill me right away!”

“Is that really true?”

At the words of the unit commander Gonghyeok grabbed his severed finger.

“It’s true. “I guess the reason they cut off my fingers was to kill me easily.”

“This can’t be right…”

The entire convoy was devastated by the sudden situation.

“Turn everything off! I can’t trust anyone.

This matter will be strictly prohibited! Where are you planning to scold Joo Gong-hyuk to tell him more? “I didn’t even know these parasites were growing in me!”

“But Director. “If there is no bodyguard…”

“Didn’t you hear me? My jaw was broken and my collarbone was broken! “Can’t you turn it off quickly?”

“Oh I understand.”

As Alfred went on a rampage the guards were forced to retreat.

The door closed with a squeak and this time only the two of them were left.

I picked up the cigarette that Joo Gong-hyeok had dropped.

“Alfred. matches.”

“yes.”

Gonghyuk lit the cigarette in his mouth.

“Don’t show anything awkward. Let’s do well in the future.”

“yes.”

Alfred nodded quietly.

[Brainwashing completed. Total number of brainwashed people: 5/5]

A brainwashing curse etched into the eyeballs and brain.

Once you have been infected you only need to avoid saint or saint-level healers.

“Is it halfway now?”

Joo Gong-hyeok dusted the cigarette ash into Alfred’s palm.

Half of the Unique City Company was in his hands.
