I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 60

“It’s an assault!!”

Urgent shouts and loud noises coming from outside.

Hoe-joo’s eyes widened, and Leah’s and Jung-min’s faces hardened seriously.

“How did you get here…!”

Watching Hoe-joo speak in a heavy voice, Jung-min spoke softly.

“Looking at it in terms of time, it looks like they tracked us down. I don’t know how, but…”

Leah said coldly with a hard face.

“I have to go out soon. Hoeju-nim is here. He seems to have followed us, so we will solve it.”

“You’re too reckless! If you attacked this place, the number of enemies would be at least three digits! No matter how much you destroyed an A-level gate by yourself…”

“Don’t worry. It won’t take long. Let’s go, Mr. Jeongmin”

Leah finished speaking and ran outside.

Jung-min said while looking at Hoe-joo, who was standing there with a puzzled expression while trying to chase after Leah.

“You don’t have to worry, Mr. Leah, because destroying an A-level gate by herself isn’t all that Leah is capable of.”

Jung-min finished talking and ran outside after Leah.

Hoe-joo was staring blankly at the two who ran out.

Leah came out and frowned.

It was because explosions and screams could be heard from all directions.

A young man presumed to be an Awakened member of the Celestial Society, who blew off the head of a non-Awakened, came into sight nearby.

He was giggling and slashing at the people around him.

The moment he ran into a middle-aged woman holding a child and was about to cut them both at once,

“Ok”

With a short scream, the man’s upper and lower body separated.

Starting with that, Leah started rampaging.

The Awakened members of the Celestial Society who were scattered everywhere and massacred the people of the Jungrim branch.

They all fell to the ground with their waists split in two by Leah, who appeared in front of them in an instant.

Jeong-min, who came out later, also participated in the battle.

As the number of Awakened members of the Celestial Society gradually fell to the floor by the two, someone urgently shouted.

“There is a coriander!”

When someone shouted, the Awakened members of the Celestial Society rushed in.

The number of awakened people surrounding Jeong-min and Leah is well over a hundred.

Jeongmin muttered to Leah.

“There are a lot of people. There must be more than 100 people.”

“We have to get rid of the innocent people before they get hurt. The authors attacked men and women of all ages, awakened and non-awakened.”

Hearing Leah’s words, Jungmin nodded.

When the two of them were about to jump into the enemy again,

The crowd surrounding the two parted and a familiar face walked by.

Jungmin growled.

“Yoo Ji-gwang…!”

Yoo Ji-kwang walks awkwardly, hesitantly. And three men walking behind him.

In the hand of the gray-haired old man, who seemed to be the oldest among them, was the head of a man he had never seen before.

A scream-like cry was heard from the place where the people of the Jeongrim branch were gathered.

“Chief Bible Industry!”

Jung-min and Leah now know who the owner of the head is.

The person called the prison guard who appeared in the conversation between Jang Chun-bok and the guards earlier.

The gray-haired old man threw his head in front of him and said.

“Your skills are quite good for a prison gatekeeper.”

The people of the Junglim branch let out a sigh as they saw the head of Seongyeongup rolling to the ground.

Yoo Ji-gwang looked at Leah with fearful eyes, then mumbled and said to the gray-haired old man.

“Uh, old man. That woman over there destroyed the A-class gate by herself-“

“Are you still talking nonsense like that? How can you destroy a Class A gate by yourself! Tsk tsk…”

“Sir, it’s true. I’ve seen it with my own two eyes.”

I couldn’t understand what the gray-haired old man was saying, but I could guess what was going on because it was Jeong-min and Leah who could understand what Yoo Ji-gwang was saying.

The gray-haired old man pushed Yoo Ji-gwang and shook his head.

“Tsk tsk tsk… Don’t be harsh, stay behind. You won’t be able to fight properly because of the bracelet of the seal.”

“Sir, please believe what I said. I swear to heaven that woman alone destroyed the A-level gate. Everyone must rush in and deal with it at once. Otherwise-“

remorse

The tip of the sword raised by the gray-haired old man touched Yoo Ji-gwang’s neck.

“I was able to find the headquarters of the Jeongrim branch thanks to the Manrihyang you possessed. I highly praise that point, and it will all be reported as your contribution. I’ll take action to make sure you don’t make fun of that mouth.”

“…..”

Yoo Ji-gwang bit his lip and said nothing more.

The gray-haired old man dropped the sword from Yoo Ji-gwang’s neck as if he was satisfied with it.

And, looking at Leah, he said.

“From what I’ve heard, it sounds like he’s a fairly capable Awakener. Seeing that this clever guy can’t tell what’s going on, he’s just spouting nonsense. But then what can he do? Even if he runs rampant alone, he can’t-“

The gray-haired old man felt a prick while talking, so he lowered his head and looked down at his chest.

There was a big hole in the old man’s chest, and he fell to the floor with a ‘gurgling’ sound.

Leia summoned the thrown sword again, held it in her hand, and spoke coldly.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about. Well, I don’t think that’s very important.”

As the old man collapsed in vain, the Awakened members of the Celestial Society looked at Leah in bewilderment.

Yoo Ji-gwang seemed to know that, and closed his eyes tightly.

Leia looked at the many Awakened members of the Celestial Society and said,

“Are you going to stand like that? It would be unfair if you died standing still.”

Although they couldn’t understand Leah’s words, the meaning seemed to have been conveyed, and the Awakened members of the Celestial Society rushed at Leah and Jeongmin all at once.

*****

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to block the enemy’s large-scale attack without much damage.”

Looking at Jeonglim Jihoeju, who stood up from his seat and nodded, Jeongmin said as if he was embarrassed.

“Hurry up and sit down. It was a problem we had to solve anyway. In the first place, it was because of Yu Ji-gwang that we brought in that the main group’s location was discovered and they were attacked.”

Hoeju shook his head at Jeongmin’s words.

“We couldn’t have hidden our location forever. We would have been found out someday, and we would have been attacked by the Celestials. It just hastened what should have happened anyway.”

“But..”

Hoeju raised his hand to stop Jeongmin from speaking.

“The reason we were able to stop the attack of the Celestial Society with this much damage is really thanks to the hard work of the two of you. There is no need to blame yourself any more. I don’t need any more words, do you understand me?”

Jung-min looked at Hoe-joo for a while and then at Leah.

Leah nodded slightly, and only then did Jeongmin look back at Hoeju and say.

“Okay. I won’t say anything more about this.”

Only then did Hoeju put on a satisfied expression.

“Now we have to talk about the future. Now that the location of the main group of the Jeongrim branch has been revealed, the Cheoninhoe will continue to send troops to the island. I think we should consider relocating the main group.”

At Hoeju’s words, Leah shook her head.

“It won’t be easy to move this large village as a whole. There are a lot of things to prepare, and even if you move, the traces will be revealed very easily. It would be nice to just stay here.”

“But if the enemy attacks again…”

“I probably don’t have enough time to care about the Junglim branch.”

“Can’t afford it?”

Leah said while looking at Jeongrim Hoeju, who seemed puzzled.

“Because we are going to the Celestial League.”

Hearing Leah’s words, Hoeju nodded.

“The Celestial Society’s power is so extensive that it can be found anywhere on this continent. In order to properly hit them, it is recommended that you aim directly at the main body of the Celestial Society, rather than elsewhere.”

“Yes, that’s what we were thinking too. Do you know the location of the headquarters?”

Hoeju shook his head at Jeongmin’s question.

“After I brought out a lot of people, the Celestial Society changed the location of the headquarters. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of any help.”

Leah shook her head as she looked at Jeonglim Jihoeju, who spoke with a face full of regret.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to be sorry.”

“But then…”

“Hoeju-nim doesn’t know it, but there is someone who does. We can use him.”

Hoeju’s eyes widened at Leah’s words.

A cliff in the corner of the main altar of the Jeongrim branch.

After passing through an entrance large enough for one person to enter, a deep natural cave was created inside.

Inside the cave, there was a prison made of thick wood, and someone had fallen in it.

The man with a swollen face lying roughly on the floor, moaning, was none other than Yoo Ji-gwang.

The door of the prison where Yoo Ji-gwang lay was opened, and a pair of men and women entered.

Jung-min and Leah greeted the guard who opened the door in front of the prison and approached Yoo Ji-kwang who was lying inside.

“Hmm.. Your face is a mess. It must have been beaten up a lot.”

“It’s probably like that. They’re the ones who slaughtered even non-Awakened people, so it’s good to see them alive.”

Jung-min took out a bottle of low-level potion from his inventory.

Then, he started pouring the potion on Yoo Ji-gwang’s face.

Chi profit

The sound of something burning was heard, and Yoo Ji-gwang screamed quite a bit.

Yoo Ji-gwang, who had rolled on the floor several times while holding his face, regained consciousness and stood up.

The swollen face was healed and became much easier to see.

Jeongmin looked at Yoo Ji-gwang and said.

“Be thankful you can feel pain. Most of your comrades have gone to a place where they can’t even feel pain.”

Yoo Ji-gwang looked blankly at Jung-min.

Soon, he bit his lip and lowered his head.

Leah said while looking at such a light.

“We’re going to the main body of the Celestial Society. Do you know where it is? I need to guide you.”

Yoo Ji-gwang lifted his head and looked at Jeong-min and Leah.

A suppressed voice came out of his mouth.

“I can’t tell…”

Yu Ji-kwang stopped talking and lowered his head again.

Yu Ji-kwang, who had been thinking for a while, raised his head again and said.

“If I could guide you… would you… save me?”

“Well..”

This time, Leah was lost in thought.

After thinking for a while, Leah said to Yoo Ji-gwang.

“I brought you to Uncle Jang Chun-bok on the condition that we deal with it here, but I can’t help it because I have to go out with you for our guidance anyway. Saving you is a bit of a stretch, and I’ll just let you go after our guidance is over. Go and live.”

“Jung, really?”

Watching Yoo Ji-gwang’s face brighten, Leah said.

“It doesn’t matter, but I don’t recommend going back to the Celestial League. I’m sure you know why.”

Yoo Ji-gwang nodded vigorously at Leah’s cool words.

Looking at such a light, Leah said.

“I’ll come pick you up when you leave. Don’t do anything useless and wait patiently.”

Jung-min and Leah got out of prison.

The village, which still had traces of the raid, was busy restoring it.

Everyone seemed busy repairing collapsed or burnt buildings and collecting the bodies of the dead.

One of those people spotted the two and ran to Jung-min and Leah.

It was Jang Chun-bok who brought the two to the Jeongrim branch earlier.

He nodded to the two of them and said.

“Thank you for your hard work. Seeing the members of the Celestial Society smashed, it really felt like a hole in my stomach.”

“The hard work. I just did what I had to do. Is the damage too bad?”

Jeong-min looked around and asked, and Jang Chun-bok shook his head and said.

“It’s not that serious. If it was originally, it would have been an attack that would completely devastate people and annihilate people. With this much damage, it’s safe to say that there was almost no damage.”

At Jang Chun-bok’s words, Jeong-min and Leah sighed lightly.

“Ah, we decided to go to the headquarters of the Celestial Society under the guidance of Yoo Ji-gwang.

“It’s okay. The number of Awakened members of the Celestial Society buried here is huge anyway.

“Thank you for thinking that way.”

Jeongmin and Leah said their goodbyes to Jang Chunbok and went back to the building where the Jeonglim branch was located.

Jang Chun-bok looked at the backs of them as they left and went back to the place where they were doing the restoration work.

Jeong-min and Leah, who met Hoe-joo again, told him that they had decided to seek help from Yoo Ji-gwang.

“You mean that person named Yoo Ji-gwang promised help?”

“Yes, I decided to guide us to the headquarters of the Tenjinhoe.”

“… I’m concerned that it might not be a trap. They’re not the kind of people who would offer to guide me like that…”

“Hmm… If it’s Yu Ji-gwang now, it’s probably not a lie. And honestly, I don’t care if it’s a trap.”

Leah’s eyes brightened.

“Because we can destroy everything.”
