I Have Awakened, but Mosquitoes Are My Enemies

* * *

“Gueek!”

“Geuuu!”

The things that move while screaming are humans with bloodshot eyes.

It looks around at the irises dyed in crimson as if it were filled with blood, and rushes at the normal people, but the movement is very fast.

“aaagh!”

“Kyaaagh!”

They attack living people and suck their blood, and those who suck even a little blood turn into the same state as them.

Of course, this is the content of the video being played.

‘It’s terrible.’

Kwak Sang-woo let out a long sigh while watching the video on the monitor.

A video of a rural village in a foreign country sent by the National Security Agency.

It is a secret material that can only be seen by executives of the Disaster Safety Administration and Hunter Management Division, and leakage to the outside is strictly prohibited.

“Manager Kwak Sang-woo! What kind of monsters are those? Are you really a zombie?”

“It’s similar, Chief. But strictly speaking, they are not zombies. Zombies are dead corpses roaming around, but they’re not dead yet.”

“So you’re saying you can recover?”

“I am still researching. It has been confirmed that if treated by an A-class healer within a certain period of time after being bitten by a cerebral hemorrhage, it will return to normal, but we do not yet know if it is possible to treat those who have become like vampires due to secondary or tertiary infections in this way.”

“What a crazy world it is.”

Oh Jin-tae, director of the Disaster and Safety Bureau.

He couldn’t believe that the bizarre murder scene, which is hard to see even in horror movies, was real.

“So how are they managing it?”

“Right now, it’s just lockdown or confinement. Even if treatment is possible with the ability of an A-class healer, if the number of infected increases exponentially, it is almost impossible to treat that many people. Even among A-class Awakeners, there are very few healers.”

“What if closure or confinement isn’t feasible?”

“Before that, we need to develop a cure. There are companies that have already collected and researched their blood to develop treatment drugs, but their effectiveness has not yet been proven.”

“No matter how geniuses rush, it will be difficult to develop a cure so easily in a short period of time. But I can’t leave them alone.”

Kwak Sang-woo then played another video.

“I think it would be better to see for yourself what to do if management is impossible.”

It’s that town again.

Looking at the time, it seems that several days have passed, but the whole village is full of people with red eyes, as if they have become infected.

A situation where the military is monitoring the outside of the village to build a barrier and prevent infected people from coming out.

But in an instant, on someone’s order, the soldiers started shooting at the infected in the village.

tu tu tu! Trerk! Kwak! Trrr

No matter how much they are infected with a vampire or zombie-like state, I would never have thought that the military would open fire without mercy against civilians who are still alive.

The video playback ended with the scene where the heads of the infected were exploded and their limbs were torn off by a powerful firearms attack.

“The reason why the National Security Agency sent this is that we must be alert so that this kind of situation does not happen in our country.”

At Kwak Sang-woo’s words, Oh Jin-tae let out a heavy sigh.

“By the way, did something like that almost happen in our Gwangjin-gu?”

“yes. I never imagined that a brain blood clot would form at the 6th grade gate. Fortunately, the brain blood clot has now been removed, so you can rest assured.”

“Wouldn’t there be another cerebral hemorrhage later?”

“of course. However, if you don’t know, you don’t have to worry because you can manage it as long as you know. From now on, the National Security Agency will also conduct thorough checks on a regular basis, so it just annoys us.”

For a moment, Oh Jin-tae’s expression brightened a little.

“Then I will only trust Manager Kwak.”

“Yes, leave it to me, Director.”

“Come to think of it, what happened to Mr. Lee Do-jin?”

“The madness of the cerebral hemorrhage has been cured, and the bites of the rest of the bloodsuckers have all been healed.”

As a result, Oh Jin-tae’s expression became brighter.

“You may be tired, but please take extra care. This is the order of the mayor, not me.”

“Anyway, Mr. Lee Do-jin is a B-class healer, so if he regains consciousness, he can heal most wounds on his own. So you can rest assured.”

“I knew. by the way.”

Oh Jin-tae looked at one of the documents and continued.

“That insect expert hunter needs a reexamination?”

“Yes, chief. By the way, I am not an insect, but a hunter specializing in bloodsuckers.”

“What is that, isn’t it? However, it was determined to be non-characteristic in the device, so what does the re-examination mean?”

“As you can see from the report, it is not a non-talent, but an awakened talent. This is the testimony of Kwak Hye-na, an A-class hunter, and Park Yu-ra, a C-class hunter. It is said that Mr. Kang Joon-young claimed that his characteristic is that he is a natural enemy of vampires. In fact, he has the potential to become a hunter specializing in bloodsuckers, not bloodsuckers, as he has also demonstrated his power against brain bloodthirsty.”

Kwak Sang-woo continued with his eyes shining.

“Of course, we have to keep an eye on it, but at a time like these days when dangerous vampires in Gate threaten humans, Kang Jun-young could be an indispensable and very important asset to Korea. It would be very foolish to leave him like that as an F-rank hunter.”

Then Jin-tae Oh smiled.

“Anyway, isn’t it looking too grandiosely on a single F-class hunter? It’s just his claim that he’s a natural enemy of bloodsuckers beyond bloodsuckers, and nothing has been confirmed with the device.”

Oh Jin-tae continued with a sullen expression.

“Of course I went through all the reports. But so far I’ve never had a device go wrong. Can’t we arbitrarily doubt the accuracy of the device guaranteed by the American Hunter Association?”

“The American Hunter Association is not absolute. It’s not known to the outside world, but there are also cases where those people acknowledged some errors. In the case of Kang Joon-young right now, the level is the same. If he has no talent, he shouldn’t be able to exceed level 7, but he is already level 9.”

“Even if it’s a level, it’s not easy. There is no evidence other than the words of A-class hunter Kwak Hye-na and others.”

Just then, Kwak Sang-woo’s smartphone rings.

It was Yoo Jong-soo, the head of the gate management team.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll answer the phone for a second, Director.”

“Please.”

Oh Jin-tae nodded and Kwak Sang-woo pressed the call button.

“What’s going on, Team Leader Yoo?”

– I found it.

“What do you mean? Did you find it?”

– CCTV. It’s as expected, sir. I found a recorded scene of Kang Joon-young dealing with a 2-star vampire alone.

Kwak Sang-woo’s expression brightened.

“Is it really?”

-hahahaha, are you completely crazy? The moment the vampire’s tentacles wrapped around Kang Jun-young, they broke on their own. You will be surprised when you see the manager.

“Bring it right here. I have to show it to the director.”

-yes. But one nasty problem arose.

“A problem?”

– Mr. Lee Do-jin.

“Why is Lee Do-jin?”

– It may not be 100% certain yet, but I think I’ve become a eunuch.

“Suddenly go to sleep? Are you kidding me right now?”

-Can I? This was confirmed by the attending physician. So it’s kind of a dick to say, but it seems that the bloodsuckers bit that part a little bit.

Kwak Sang-woo was dumbfounded and laughed out loud.

“It could be because he was bitten by dozens of bullets all over his body. But can you become a eunuch?”

-It’s not just a bloodsucking, it’s a dangerous bloodsucking. Change your stance and think if the manager was bitten by those guys.

For a moment, Kwak Sang-woo felt goosebumps all over his body.

“Why do I have to imagine that?”

-sorry.

“Anyway, what I’ve heard is really horrible.”

– It seems that it is useless even if Lee Do-jin pours mana and spreads his healing skills. Honestly, even if I call an A-class healer, I wonder if it will ever recover. There are rumors that a fairly famous A-class healer in Europe is also a eunuch.

“but. If treatment was possible, I would have healed myself first.”

– That’s what I mean.

For a moment, Kwak Sang-woo thought of Jun-yeong.

In fact, it is as if Lee Do-jin became an eunuch because of a vampire.

Therefore, Jun-young, who can treat madness of cerebral hemorrhage, may be able to treat it.

Perhaps, Jun-young is the only one on Earth who can restore Lee Do-jin to normal.

“If you don’t know, try contacting Mr. Kang Joon-young.”

– It’s useless. no it’s impossible

“What do you mean? Impossible!”

– I already called, but I was flatly refused. I’m assuming you don’t even break your finger.

seven stars (1)

“You can’t even break your finger? Did Kang Joon-young say that?”

-That’s right. But I understand. Honestly, would you like to be like the manager?

“It’s just a therapeutic act. What would urologists want to do?”

-Then, try persuading the manager. I can’t.

“Can you say me?”

– Then what?

“What? Just tell them to live as eunuchs. Honestly, aren’t you self-employed? ‘Cause we’ve done enough Quickly bring the CCTV footage.”

-All right.

Then Director Oh Jin-tae, who was listening in front of him, asked.

“I think I just talked about Mr. Lee Do-jin, but what do you mean by eunuch?”

“That’s it.”

Kwak Sang-woo reported what he heard from Yoo Jong-soo.

“Such a thing! It really hurts. But are you saying that only Kang Joon-young can cure it?”

“Not sure. And leaving all of them, Kang Jun-young’s feelings for Lee Do-jin are very bad. I begged for a reexamination, and I managed to get the cerebral hemorrhage mania cured, but I won’t do more than that.”

Oh Jin-tae grabbed his hair with both hands.

“Let’s pretend we don’t know about that. I just wished he was cured of madness. What are we going to do about becoming an eunuch? It’s something you brought on yourself.”

“I think so too, Director. We did enough.”

Just then, Jong-soo Yoo knocked and came in.

“I brought the CCTV recording you said.”

“Come on, play it.”

“yes.”

The video was very short.

“Dense fog obscures most of the battle scenes. Fortunately, there were a few moments when the fog dissipated and we could see clearly.”

The scene where the branch of the vampire tree wrapped around Jun-young but cut off like paper tape.

And the scene where Jun-young runs away after punching the vampire’s wooden pole with his fist.

“Awesome. If this is not a manipulated video, Kang Jun-young’s characteristics should be considered at least B-class.”

Oh Jin-tae, who was uneasy about Jun-young’s rating upgrade, showed a 180 degree change of attitude when he saw the CCTV video.

Kwak Sang-woo also knows the character of Oh Jin-tae.

Although he is very strict, if he presents reasonable evidence, he will be persuaded.

And that momentum is no joke once you start working.

“great. We will catch Mr. Kang Jun-young’s grade re-examination in the near future! It would be difficult to be sure at 100%, but given the evidence now, the promotion seems very likely.”

“Thank you, Director.”

A proud smile bloomed on the lips of Kwak Sang-woo and Yoo Jong-soo.

Then, Yoo Jong-soo shouted as if he had forgotten.

“Oh, did you see the urgent official letter sent today from the National Security Agency?”

“You mean a video of a cerebral hemorrhage madness infection in a foreign country?”

“no! Other than that, the serial murder case that took place in Seoul not too long ago.”

“What else is that?”

Kwak Sang-woo made a troublesome expression.

Investigations into serial murder cases are, of course, the responsibility of the police.

However, the request for support from the Hunter Management Division means that it is an incident that is outside the realm of ordinary humans.

In other words, it means that the villain hunter or the monster at the gate is involved.

“I’ll have to check it out now.”

Kwak Sang-woo opened the document.

It is related to four murder cases that occurred in the bathrooms of clubs in Hongdae and Gangnam, Seoul.

The reason why it turned out to be a serial murder case is that the necks of the dead all have sharp teeth marks of the same size.

That means there is only one culprit.

The police seem to have judged that this was done by a monster, not a human, and requested assistance from the National Security Agency.

“Couldn’t this be madness from a cerebral hemorrhage?”

In the meantime, Oh Jin-tae, who was looking at the documents, asked with a surprised expression, and Kwak Sang-woo shook his head.

“It can’t be. If that was the case, Seoul would be a hell by now with thousands or tens of thousands of madmen.”

“you’re right. This incident has nothing to do with cerebral hemorrhages, Director.”

Although the National Security Agency is already pursuing it with the police.

The content is that the hunter management department of each local government also mobilizes hunters to patrol the area at night.

Oh Jin-tae frowned.

“I really don’t have a comfortable day. Hurry up and contact C-class or higher hunters who can support patrols, Team Leader Yoo.”

“Yes, Chief.”

3 am.

Junyoung stretched out and woke up.

Yesterday evening, after enjoying a delicious stewed mackerel with my family, I fell asleep while looking through the posts in the Korea Hunter Association archives on the Internet until around 11 p.m.

‘Is it because I’m getting better? My eyes open on their own at dawn.’

Certainly, as he reached level 9, the element that could be called low-quality stamina had almost disappeared.

【Daily Mission】

– Reward of 900 won per vampire when slain

– Reward limit: 100 animals

-Today’s Vampire Massacre: 0/100

【Account balance of 40,000 won】

Daily missions have been updated overnight.

Now that the level has risen to 9, you will get a reward of 900 won per mosquito.

100 dogs is 90,000 won.

Even if you don’t go to the gate, you can get a lot of extra income every day, so there’s really no such thing as honey.

‘Let’s go out and exercise while doing daily missions.’

It’s time for everyone in the family to sleep, so you have to go out quietly so you don’t wake up.

‘Before that, drink a glass of cool water.’

I went to the kitchen where there was a refrigerator, and the smell of the spicy seasoned mackerel I ate yesterday is still there.

One of the delicious dishes you can eat anytime.

‘I’ll be able to eat again later.’

A hearty smile bloomed on Junyoung’s lips when he confirmed that the mackerel was halfway in the pot.

[Main door]

-Caster: Junyoung Kang

– Duration 13 hours 54 minutes

[Kitchen window]

-Caster: Junyoung Kang

– Duration 13 hours 53 minutes

There is still enough time left in the mosquito net that I put before going to bed around 11:00 last night.

If you spread a mosquito net in a specific place other than people, now at level 9, the duration is 9 hours per cast.

It can be stacked 2 times, so you can spread a mana mosquito net that lasts for up to 18 hours.

‘Because of the mosquito net, there is not a single mosquito in the house.’

weng! wow~

However, when you step out the front door, mosquitoes are lingering around.

‘The front door is one of the main routes for mosquitoes to enter a house.’

Mosquitoes are secretly attached to the front door, and when you open the door, they sneak inside.

However, since Jun-yeong’s house has a mana mosquito net, even if the front door is open, mosquitoes cannot enter.

Titic!

Shall we start by cleaning the front of the house?

‘Kiak!’

‘Kack!’

[I got 900 won.]

[I got 900 won.]

The sound of money coming in sounds pleasant.

Climb down the stairs and kill 7 of them.

The moment you come out into the alley, only dozens of mosquitoes are detected around you.

Tired of flying around, I stuck to a dark place as if I was sleeping.
