The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood

Chapter 63:

Human face dog.

Ghosts to freedom.

And so on. Basically, fear comes from a minor imbalance.

.

That is why the believers of the Rakshasa Temple were currently somewhat frightened.

I stabbed you with a knife, and you didnt even flinch?

The unknown hunter sitting in front of him felt eerie, like a creature clad in human skin turned inside out.

Could it be that you cant feel pain?

For a moment, even the possibility of congenital analgesia crossed his mind, but the probability of that happening was low. Being immune to pain was just a fatal flaw. It was unlikely that such a special patient would survive in the dangerous hunter industry. No, they probably wouldnt have survived to this age in the first place.

What on earth?

So, is this his awakening ability? But he has never heard of a skill called pain tolerance anywhere. Then theres only one answer left.

If its not a skill then the only thing left is that hes enduring it with mental strength.

Its shocking.

He felt a sense of pressure as he looked at the awakened person bound to the frame. However, he couldnt show any weakness here. Because he has to complete the mission given to him.

!

Bang!

The believer at the Rakshasa Temple roughly placed the items he had taken out of his arms onto the table.

A bizarre object with bloodshot eyes and devils wings.

[Eyes of Temptation]

[Grade: Rare]

It is a brainwashing item.

He may be wearing a nonchalant expression now, but soon hell be crying out for mercy.

The indoctrinator resolved in an instant. No matter what happens, he will succeed in brainwashing him.

Kim Kiryeos dry attitude actually became a strong motivation. He didnt want to admit to feeling fear towards a relatively unknown and unremarkable hunter.

Somethings wrong. Its not me who should be trembling, its him.

The indoctrinator pulled out the dagger once again.

Dont look at the tightly bound subject with such eyes!

And then his work began.

***

How many minutes have passed?

Ugh, eukk!

.

Keuuugh!

During the past hour, a lot of things have happened. From getting my head dunked in a bucket of water to getting shocked all over my body. And now, my opponent is whimpering while pulling out my toenails.

To be honest, its ridiculous.

You work really hard.

No, the core location has already been revealed. But this cult member immediately started torturing me, saying that I needed to be enlightened or something.

Of course I expected that I wouldnt be released easily, but why waste energy torturing me when I probably have no more valuable information?

Aha.

It wasnt difficult to figure out their purpose.

I was mistaken just by looking at appearances alone. Thats not for records

Now I see that there are brainwashing items on the desk.

To recruit believers with mental magic. Its a pretty standard method.

Hmm.

However, the target for this attempt is wrong. This side is immune to brainwashing and even has a body that automatically blocks pain beyond a certain level.

Heuk, heuk

I looked down at the toenail that had been pulled out and was just intrigued.

So, this is how Earth tortures people~

Then the other person huffed and threw away the pliers.

Why on earth! Why are you acting like nothings wrong!

From his perspective, its understandable to be upset.

Because its not just simple pain, but none of the other magical tools interfering with the mind had any effect on me either.

You monster!

Could it be possible that the soul of a great magician would suffer from such primitive hallucinations? In the end, he couldnt break me mentally or physically. Brainwashing was out of the question.

Huh?

But when I think about it carefully, I realize that this is not something to laugh about.

Hey?

I thought that if I continued to show no response, he would get tired of it and collapse, but I guess I made the wrong decision. The more the Earthling acted calmly, the more severe the torture he carried out. And Ive already lost too much blood.

This is dangerous.

Wait.

I urgently stopped the other person.

Could you please stop now? Please.

What did you say?

I know what you want. You just want to make me your subordinate anyway.

Kiik. As I leaned forward, the chair made a creaking sound.

I will go to the Rakshasa Temple. And I will do whatever you ask me to do. So please spare me.

Why are you suddenly saying that?

I, Im just scared because it feels like Im going to die!

Im begging for my life desperately. However, the Earthling looked up and down as if he was suspicious of something, then took the Eye of Temptation that was on the table and held it in front of me.

Why is this?

And just a few seconds later, the cult member didnt hesitate to slap my face. My head snapped to the right.

Youre lying! If you really felt your life was threatened, there is no way the Eye of Temptation will not work!

Ah.

I dont know what kind of trickery youre up to, but I wont be swayed by your words!

Damn it, Im in big trouble.

I just happen to have brainwashing resistance due to the nature of the reincarnation magic.

I cant believe youre not shaken even though youre in such disrepair. Like a demon!

It seems to the other party that this reflects maintaining composure. So the believer didnt believe me at all.

Thats not true. Im definitely shaken up. Im really scared right now, Teacher.

Hiiik.

No, its you whos avoiding eye contact, why are you avoiding me

Shut up!

Oh really, we cant communicate.

Excuse me. Could you please call someone else?

I was so frustrated that I asked for a replacement.

I want to speak directly with someone higher up. I have information that could be helpful to Rakshasa Temple.

.!

Lets talk.

But as soon as he heard this sentence, he jumped up from his seat.

S, someone higher up? What do you mean by higher up? Thats right. You brat Are you aiming for our cult leaders from the start?!

Yes?

No wonder it felt suspicious from the beginning. There is no way that an awakened person who kills Grid and doesnt even blink at the torture will be dragged in without resistance!

Wait a minute. You misunderstood something. The moment I was trying to explain.

The kidnappers sharp dagger pierced my thigh.

I never listen to you. Never!

He speaks as if he is suppressing his anger.

Anxiety, fear, and religious madness that cannot be understood through the eyes of those who have not been brainwashed.

After hearing that voice, I was certain of one thing.

Im doomed.

This place will be my grave.

The cult member now began to distort everything I said, and eventually even coldly ignored my requests for treatment.

Damn it.

Anyway, even the interrogation methods on Earth are incredibly primitive. Keeping the subject from dying is the basic principle of torture.

I cant believe I was caught and killed by an idiot who couldnt even calculate the amount of blood loss.

My head is spinning.

I was desperately hoping for someones help, feeling like I was grasping at straws.

For example, realizing something suspicious in the refugee camp and calling the police.

Or perhaps Earthlings like Seonwoo Yeon or Ahn Yoonseung notice my disappearance.

It may be a vain hope.

Of course, I knew it was hard to expect anything from either side. I bowed my head deeply and fell silent. Severe dizziness overwhelmed me due to excessive bleeding.

-Thud!

But the noise that followed quickly caught my fading consciousness.

-Thud!

Whats the sudden commotion?

-Thud

The sound is getting closer. And suddenly, I realize that Ive heard this exact sound before.

The sound of concrete collapsing.

About the time I was immersed in a vague sense of wonder, the kidnapper also stopped torturing me and turned around. He opened the door slightly and looked closely at the hallway outside through the crack in the door.

There is silence for a moment.

Whats that? Isnt that a noise coming from our building?

It was at that moment.

Boom!

One side of the room we were in collapsed with a terrifying roar. The kidnapper turned his head in surprise. He was unable to respond to the subsequent raid.

Keuggh!

Puk!

The situation ended before the rising dust had even settled. The mysterious shadow protruding from the pierced wall swiftly knocked down the cult member.

Its fast!

Gradually, the dust settled, revealing a figure. I couldnt help but be surprised at the sight of the person who appeared before me.

Kang Changho?

Hi.

The S-Class hunter of South Korea.

Kang Changho was the saviors true identity!

No, its too early to assume hell save me.

Strangely enough, whenever theres a kidnapping, it seems like I always end up seeing that face.

As Kang Changho entered the room, shaking off the concrete powder from the back of his hand and looking around, I felt a sense of tension at that moment.

Thats because that hunter has a past record of neglecting victims who were tied down.

H, hey.

I cautiously opened my mouth to get Kang Changhos help. However, it seems there was no need for that.

Do you want me to help you?

Kang Chang-ho was the first to speak plainly.

I vigorously nodded in response to the words, and then Kang Changho approached and loosened the restraints.

Clack.

This is a band-shaped magic tool. Did it tear that easily in S-Class hands?

This appearance really Anyway, it was a good decision to come and see.

Kang Changho glanced up and down at my wounds and then suddenly handed me a small crystal bottle. The liquid inside was presumed to be of the same concentration as the gift received before. It was an Earth-style healing potion.

Ah, thank you.

Without hesitation, I swallowed the medicine. Soon after, all bleeding stopped, and my condition gradually returned.

By the way, considering youve been tortured, your face looks good, doesnt it?

Does it look like that?

Normally, we wouldnt be able to speak so well.

.

Well, anyway. Its not an important issue right now.

After a short discussion, Kang Changho made a suggestion.

Do you know the way out?

No, I dont.

Then follow me.

Surprisingly, thanks to Kang Changhos protection, I was able to safely escape from this cult group.

Ooh.

By the way, I wondered why the surroundings were so quiet.

The way back was littered with countless people, almost like garbage. They were probably all followers of the Rakshasa Temple. It must have been something Kang Changho dealt with it while coming to the torture room.

Ah, Im finally outside!

I didnt expect to be rescued like this, so tears of gratitude welled up in my eyes. In a world where S-Class hunters dash to the rescue when youre in danger! Indeed, I made the right choice to be reincarnated in Korea!

.

I thought I could end it beautifully, but by now, I can also see reality sinking in.

Lets see.

Its great to have received help from Kang Changho, but one question arose during this process. How on earth did Kang Changho find this place?

This hunter smashed through the walls as soon as he arrived at the building and headed straight to the room I was in. Its hard to imagine that he had any other business with the Rakshasa Temple.

He was the first to notice that I had been kidnapped, and he even quickly found the place where I was being held captive. It was then that I finally realized the identity of the awakened person standing by my side.

Whats wrong with you, Kim Kiryeo? Youve been staring at someones face like that since earlier.

All of this would be impossible without stalking

Since when?

Come to think of it, this guy has shown up at Kim Kiryeos place without a word. Ive never once mentioned my address.

No, maybe long before that.

Even on the day when there was that contact incident, he miraculously identified the taxi I was in.

.

Could it be that Ive been under surveillance by this S-Class hunter since then? This is insane.

I, I dont have my phone with me right now, so could I borrow it for just one call?

Right after escaping from the cult, I picked up the phone to report the situation to the police, but honestly, I felt more strongly about reporting Kang Changho than reporting the Rakshasa temple.
