The Constellation Comeback To See The Hero
Episode 94: Traces of the Dark Gods
"Sir, do you intend to extend your stay here?" The word receptionist on Seo Jun-Woo who just got a call, because it has exceeded the initial time limit of his stay. Seo Jun-Woo himself, originally only intended to stay for ten days at the most, but it turns out that in addition to the matter of Scorpio the other day, not to mention found clues about the Dark God Devotees.
It's also been four more days since the incident, Seo Jun-Woo didn't also get word from Kim Jung Hwa by Email, or she shared information about the thing she found. Really, Seo Jun-Woo is really upset at the thought of that.
"Sir Seo Jun-Woo? Hows it? Do you want to extend it or not?"
Hearing the re-question, Seo Jun-Woo immediately said,
"Yes, I'll extend it another week."
He assumed this should be sufficient time to try to search for Information in this Main Capital. At the very least, Seo Jun-Woo is convinced that the Dark God Worshipers Headquarters is somewhere in this city, that was the information he had obtained earlier after shuffling the previous research Laboratory with his Shadow Clone.
"Alright, we'll process the handlers, please wait a moment."
Seo Jun-Woo stared uninterestedly at the reception desk, then began to stare at the lobby, where some people passed by, some employees were shifting, or some people started gossiping.
At first there was nothing interesting about the rumors the Guests were talking about. But some employees who were resting started gossiping about things that were quite interesting.
"Did you know? Rebecca's grandmother, who used to deliver Fresh Milk Boxes to this hotel, suddenly died."
"Gosh, Grandma Rebecca? Though not long ago I met him while delivering Milk, I saw he was still in good health."
"Indeed, I thought so too."
"Or what is the age factor? He's been sixty years more after all."
"If that were so, I wouldn't talk about it. It's just, why am I talking about this, more precisely because Grandma Rebecca's body has some weirdness."
"What weirdness?"
"According to the Neighbors of the Victim, Grandma Rebecca's body was filled with black spots."
"Is it some kind of disease?"
"Either, his family did not ask for an investigation, maybe it was just a kind of common illness, lately it has often happened something like that since there was a Dungeon, right?"
"You mean the Dungeon Plague?"
"Yes, the world has changed as have its viruses. Reportedly there is some sort of Virus Mutation from one of the Dungeons that had Outbreak a while ago in the suburbs."
"Don't the Association crack down on that? Is it contagious?"
"The association seems to have acted, and according to the study it is not contagious."
"So you think it has something to do with Rebecca's Grandma's death?"
"Of course you can. Didn't Rebecca's Grandma go to the Suburbs to take Susu there too?"
"Ah... Really? I'm really getting scared right now,"
Seo Jun-Woo became a little suspicious while listening to the gossip. Well, that's not to say it leads to the Dark God Worship, but it could be?
"This is Mr. Seo Jun-Woo's card, the exchange is done."
Hearing the receptionist's words, Seo Jun-Woo immediately swagged, gave his debit card away, and immediately left from there. The first things he wanted to investigate were about the strange plague from Dungeun.
It turns out that after a wide variety of investigations, the features of the plague and the death of Grandma Rebecca fit perfectly with each other.
"Well, thanks for the information about Rebecca's grandmother's death." Seo Jun-Woo said politely after starting to ask one of the man's neighbors. And according to the clues, it seemed like Grandma Rebecca was actually exposed to the Plague from the Dungeon had nothing to do with the Dark God Adoratrice. Some of the rumors circulating turned out to be exaggerated.
There was a hint of despair when he failed to find a clue.
"No problem, Mr. Hunter. Hah, since Dungeons appear there are indeed often strange things happening."
"What's weird if I could find out?"
"One of the people from the next complex, just disappeared, all of a sudden,"
"Disappeared? Has it been reported?"
"There were no clues, the security section was just making excuses he might have been a victim of the Outbreak Dungeon before. Obviously I'm sure they're just making it up because they don't want to bother looking for ordinary poor civilians. Hah if the lost were the rich they would definitely flock to solve the case,"
The man started to complain about the problem he heard from the Complex next door. Seo Jun-Woo is of course quite interested in the case as well although this might just be like before it has nothing to do with the Dark Gods Devotee, but what's wrong with investigating it?
The Dark Gods Devotees are famous for their strange and eccentric acts of always making a furore and chaos everywhere, whether it be blatantly or covertly.
"However, could he really be the Outbreak Dungeon Victim?"
"No. One of his neighbors had seen the man still in his house after Dungeun Outbreak, but a few moments after being in his house he suddenly left and disappeared, the date was approaching when Dungeon Outbreak, which was just around the corner, but it should have been Dungeun Outbreak by then cleared by Pada Hunter,"
"Hmm, so so."
"Do you want to investigate the case?"
Seo Jun-Woo then smiled, not intending to answer or dodge.
"Thank you very much for the information, I myself should not be involved in too many cases other than those assigned to me."
"Huh, all right,"
With that, Seo Jun-Woo goes on to the next investigation that is heading to the arena of the next complex. But when he went to that place he immediately felt the energy of darkness.
With his detection skill he began to look for where the source of the dark energy came from. Mana knows, when he passed through a deserted alley, there was a sign of dark magic there.
"Wait... Is this Shadow Mark's magic?"
Seo Jun-Woo is of course quite familiar with the sign, the Shadow Mark, to tag someone, and could be given special effects after being tagged. Just passing through this place alone, the Shadow Mark would be on someone.
"You know, this must be what they did anyway."
Seo Jun-Woo becomes suspicious, lest the case of the disappearance of the citizens have anything to do with this Shadow Mark?
"Huh, I finally found a clue about you guys just watch out later!!"
Seo Jun-Woo immediately moves towards the site of the civilian disappearance. Mana knows, suddenly his phone rang it was a sign from the incoming Email. But feeling that something might be important he immediately opened his phone, and became surprised to see who sent him the Message.
This is Phoenix aka Kim Jung-Hwa!
