I Picked a Mobile From Another World
Chapter 10

Episode 10 [Hunter (1)]

The road back from crossing the dimension was no different from before. The last two doors also remained unchanged.

One door leads back to one’s room, and the other door leads to an unknown direction.

I didn’t think it was strange before, but now I see it was a mistake.

When moving to the destroyed world, there is an underground laboratory and a conference room above ground, respectively. This was because I could see where the two doors led.

I was curious about what was behind the door with an unknown destination, but I had just finished exploring.

Kyung-hoon gave up his curiosity and headed to his room.

The room I returned to was cozy. The tension that had persisted all day disappeared, and immediately my stomach began to hurt.

In this world, my body could withstand exercise all day long, but in the other world, my entire body became tired in just half a day.

Still not used to it.

Still, it was better than when I first came back. After taking a light shower, Kyunghoon took out the items in his backpack.

Some leftover homemade bombs. In one explosion, most of the money spent was lost.

A half-burned magazine and a small gem called a mana stone.

Kyunghoon picked up the jewel. It was a small gem that could be worn in a ring. A small translucent gem that spreads a mysterious light.

gulp.

Kyung-hoon swallowed his saliva as he looked at the jewel. The more I looked at it, the more I felt like I wanted to eat it.

But it came from a monster I had never seen before. I couldn’t eat it carelessly.

Kyung-hoon put the mana stone deep into the desk along with the magazine.

The first exploration has ended.

Kyunghoon checked his phone.

[One. Name: Kang Kyung-hoon]

[2. Mana Rating: E ]

[3. Trait: Dimension Shifter ]

[4. Affiliation: None ]

[5. Unregistered status: Please register at the Awakened Center.]

[80 hours remain until the next attribute is activated. ]

I didn’t bring a lot of things, but my income wasn’t low.

I also brought mana stones and magazines, killed the monster rat, and raised my level.

I thought it was pretty great for a first expedition.

I couldn’t reach the awakened center I was aiming for, but I felt like I could get there with one more trip.

“I really need information.”

Even if he brought the mana stone, it was difficult for him to replace a way to use it, and it was difficult to replace out anything else from the magazine.

But that didn’t mean he could reveal his abilities.

Looking at the content in the magazine, it was perfect for an awakened person who was just starting out for the first time to go to the laboratory.

“I can’t do this . “I can’t even do that.”

Kyunghoon sighed.

Of course, I had no thoughts of saving the world or becoming a hero. It’s just that the world has changed and the opportunity has come to me, so I don’t want to miss it.

Moreover, this job suits my personality better.

‘If I gather some information later, shall I post it somewhere like the Internet? No, that too will be tracked.’

Since I am not an expert in that field, I had no way of knowing for sure.

Kyung-hoon, who was scratching his head, eventually decided to do what he could now.

‘Jinhyuk asked me to come, so let’s go and see the atmosphere. The government is probably investigating something, so they might know something.’

Gyeong-hoon called me the next day and made an appointment to visit.

Kyung-hoon adapted to his body, which had become stronger through exercise, and two days later he took the KTX and came down to Sejong City.

This was because the Animal Quarantine Headquarters, which was said to have been created not long ago, was located in Sejong City.

The animal quarantine headquarters was located in a newly built, spacious five-story building near the government complex.

Kyunghoon stood in front of the building and looked at the entrance with a puzzled look.

The sight of people passing through the front door did not match the shiny new building.

Occasionally, people who appeared to be civil servants wearing suits passed by, but most were middle-aged men wearing military uniforms and work uniforms.

Kyung-hoon could tell what kind of people they were by looking at their clothes and atmosphere.

‘Are they hunters?’

I don’t know why hunters come and go here, but I followed them inside.

The office where Jinhyeok’s team was located was on the third floor.

[On-site response team]

Kyung-hoon headed straight to the office.

The office was surprisingly ordinary. Inside, there was an iron bar door that appeared to be a weapons warehouse, but the inside was no different from an ordinary office.

The team members I saw last time on site were also sitting in their seats for a while, struggling with documents.

“Welcome! I’ve been waiting for you.”

When Kyung-hoon entered the office, the team leader was happier than Jin-hyuk.

“Nice to meet you. “My name is Lee Yun-tae.”

“This is Kang Kyung-hoon.”

It was excessive kindness. The team leader acted as if Kyung-hoon had joined the team.

He had no choice but to draw a subtle line.

“I was curious about where Jin-hyuk was and asked him to visit, so he came. “I saw it.”

The team leader had a look of regret upon hearing Kyung-hoon’s words of slightly distancing himself.

“Haha, I guess I went too far.”

Jinhyeok also smiled mischievously, and Kyunghoon sighed inwardly.

After that, Team Leader Lee Yoontae continued to brag about his team in various ways.

The salary was not bad, and even if they came later, they were recognized as special civil servants, and Kyunghoon’s Even the fact that he can fully utilize his past military experience.

If it had been Kyung-hoon not long ago, he might have accepted it right away.

But now, he thought differently. Kyung-hoon brought up the shortcomings.

“I heard from Jin-hyuk that there were a lot of dispatches.”

The team leader said. I glanced at Jinhyeok.

“That’s true. That’s why we need more people.”

Even the sparsely empty seats in the office still had traces of people. It was clear that he was missing due to injury or retirement.

“I recognized Kyung-hoon through several people. Everyone said good things. He is strong in improvisation, has good shooting skills, and good fighting skills. Even though he was uncomfortable with social life and a tight-knit life, he had good relationships with his colleagues… It seemed

like he really got to know him.

“As you say, it’s not easy to adapt to corporate life.”

It was more about not being able to endure the absurdity that flowed within it than office life. but. It was no different from not being able to adapt to office life, as there was no way a company could exist without absurdities.

“This place is semi-civil servant, but I still go to the field a lot, so it’s okay.”

Kyung-hoon bowed his head in response to continued appeals.

“I’ll think about it some more.”

I felt like just rejecting it, but there was still something left to replace out.

In response to Kyung-hoon’s answer, Team Leader Lee Yun-tae gave Jin-hyuk a glance and then took a step back.

“Ha..ha.. I look forward to a good answer. There is not much time left for the meal, so Jinhyuk will guide you.”

“All right.”

The two left the office, and Kyung-hoon sighed.

“Haha, it was hard, wasn’t it?”

“You’re pushing yourself so hard.”

Jinhyeok glanced left and right and answered softly,

“I can’t help it. Two people quit the company this month alone. They were injured, but they all just quit the company. There are too few people. I understood. If

he were an ordinary person, he would be there. It was clear that they would not have been able to survive.

Every time the people working here went out to the field, it felt like they were going to war.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s about saving people. Even if it’s hard, you have to do it.”

Saving people.

This was Jinhyeok’s goal and motto after saving his life in the military.

“I haven’t yet repaid the price of my life from my brother…”

It seemed like a nice thing to say, but to Gyeonghoon, the person who saved him, it was just an insult.

The two people sat down at the coffee shop on the first floor.

The coffee shop was made of glass both outside and inside, so people passing through the lobby could easily see it.

Kyung-hoon saw hunters passing by through the window.

“There are a lot of hunters.”

“Really? I was surprised too.”

“What happened?”

Jinhyuk took a sip of coffee.

“You said last time that the Animal Quarantine Bureau was created by integrating several departments, right?”

“It did.”

“Among them, extermination of harmful wild animals has also been integrated into the Animal Quarantine Bureau.”

“Ah, the hunting association?”

“yes.”

“Why was that area integrated?”

“It’s not just livestock or pets that become mutated. When wild animals become mutated, it’s much more difficult than other animals.”

Livestock, pets, and abandoned dogs live near people, so it was easy to catch them even though they were dangerous. However, wild animals were difficult to replace and catch. “

Mutant wild animals are caught with the cooperation of hunters. It’s not easy because everyone is pulling out, but there’s no other alternative at the moment. We can’t deploy the military right now.”

Kyung-hoon had no choice but to agree. Of course, honestly, it would be nice to deploy the military, but for people who don’t know the other world, the military is the last resort. “Moreover, the people at the research institute said that the samples should be diverse

. “I want more of this wildlife side.”

Jinhyeok pointed to one side with a straw.

People wearing white doctor’s coats and lab coats were passing through the lobby.

“It looks like there’s a lot of pressure from above, so they’re trying to follow us to the site. Hmm… I haven’t figured out anything, so it’s a shame.”

Young men and women, led by a middle-aged man, were following him.

Kyung-hoon’s eyes continued to follow a woman among them.

“older brother! “Is there a girl you like?”

“Oh, no.”

She was quite a pretty girl, but it wasn’t like he was in love with her or anything like that. Because as she passed by, a strange feeling passed through his senses. But

that feeling quickly disappeared. At the same time, Jinhyuk seemed to remember something.

“Oh, that’s right. . “Then how about registering as a hunter first?”

“Hunter?”

“If you feel uncomfortable about joining our team right now, register as a hunter and start working. You can carry guns and swords in your car, and you can get money if you catch a mutant.”

Kyunghoon tilted his head.

“Isn’t that a lot complicated?”

“no. When we merged, it became very simple. Moreover, if I recommend it, your case will pass quickly.”

It seemed like a good story. I didn’t know if the pistol I had now would be registered, but it was necessary to register the sword anyway.

As Jinhyuk said, Gyeong-hoon registered as a hunter first . I decided to do it.

As Jinhyuk said, registration didn’t take long.

Fortunately, I was able to register the long sword. Due to gun laws, I couldn’t register the modified K-5, but long swords and daggers with emblems can now be carried in the car. .

Kyung-hoon failed to register the modified pistol, so instead he bought a cheap hunting shotgun. It seemed difficult to harm mutants, but it seemed possible to stop them for a while. And after a while, a cell phone message sent a notice asking hunters who wanted to gather at Chiak Mountain

. It flew to. It wasn’t specifically written down, but it appears that mutant wild animals were discovered in Chiaksan Mountain.

Kyung-hoon decided to participate for the experience.

Although he had to hide his abilities, he wouldn’t be helpful in this mutant hunt, but he could learn something from others. It was clear.

If there was something to learn, I planned to follow him wherever he went.

In the dark forest at the foot of Chiyaksan Mountain.

“No, for fuck’s sake, why are you messing with my temper? “If you had just listened, this wouldn’t have happened.”

A middle-aged man was complaining as he filled in the dirt with a shovel.

“We’ve been doing this together for over 5 years. We’ve gotten along well all this time, but what on earth is this?”

He clicked his tongue as he looked at the half-filled pit. Two human legs were sticking out of a hole that had not yet been filled with dirt.

He spoke again as he poured dirt into the hole.

“Like you said, if both of us had stopped when the strange beasts appeared, this might not have happened.”

The man spoke as if he was regretful, but the corners of his mouth turned up.

“But, I wouldn’t have been able to obtain this power. It was your fault for stopping me.”

Instead of covering the hole, he swung the shovel at the tree next to him.

Boom!

A tree was cut down with a light swing of the shovel.

“Plus, my arthritis is gone and I can work at night again,”

he said, carefully covering the hole again.

“This time, another guy appeared. I gained this strength by eating the guy that appeared last time. How strong will I become if I eat this time?”

He tapped the hole filled with dirt with a shovel.

“If anyone stops me, I will end up buried in the ground again like you. Ugh… You wait there for someone else to come. Soon many people will go there.”

Hunter Park grinned as he recalled the message he saw on his cell phone. It was hunting time again. The

heavenly taste and scent. The meat of the monster-like strong beast gave him the same strength. What kind of strength would the meat he caught this time give him? . He couldn’t help but have expectations.

That’s why he had no intention of forgiving anyone who got in his way.

He didn’t think he was wrong. It was a different way of thinking than before, but he just thought it was because he had more power and more confidence.

But his eyes turned around . He had turned red, and saliva was flowing from his mouth.

He was crazy.
