A poor hillside town on the outskirts of North Hamgyeong Province.
In this dilapidated place was an office with a half-broken neon sign.
[Yoo Jinhyuk Office]
Despite there being an office that carried Yoo Jinhyuk's name, only ordinary shops and stores were set up around it. From its location, no one would believe that this office was the home of such a powerful ability user.
In truth, this place was initially a wasteland with nothing but Yoo Jinhyuk's office.
Because Yoo Jinhyuk's clients came from Violet Banquet, the location of his office was irrelevant. This hillside town didn't even exist before he arrived.
In other words, the arrival of Yoo Jinhyuk marked the creation of this town.
The monsters Yoo Jinhyuk drove away to found this office, the monsters Yoo Jinhyuk killed because he wanted to have a peaceful night of sleep, and the monsters Yoo Jinhyuk hunted to earn money.
His selfishness transformed the area within a 1 km radius of his office into habitable space. As a result, poor and ignorant people flocked to this place.
At first, Yoo Jinhyuk was apathetic. He didn't care who came to live next to him, nor did he believe he had anything to do with them. Even when monsters invaded the town while he was gone, killing residents and destroying farmland, he believed it was something they had to deal with themselves.
But 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, 10 years, then 12 years went by...
What started as a tiny village came to form a little town. Witnessing the flow of time and seeing familiar faces give birth to new lives, Yoo Jinhyuk couldn't help but admit that he was now bound to the town.
As such, he didn't run away at Chae Joochul's beckoning.
Yoo Jinhyuk the Investigator.
Before he realized, he had become the patriarch of a town.
Wiing—
His helmet vibrated, signaling that he was out of magic power.
Yoo Jinhyuk took off his helmet and got up from the couch he was sitting on.
"What did you find out?"
The secretary asked. Yoo Jinhyuk silently walked up behind her.
On the secretary's computer screen was a picture of a large tattoo.
Three streaks, two forming a cross and one forming a crescent moon above it.
"...."
Yoo Jinhyuk stared at the tattoo.
Although he figured out the location of the murder, this was the only thing he could find out due to the density of magic power in the area. When the barrier surrounding the area exploded along with a storm of demonic energy, Yoo Jinhyuk shot his eyes open, fully prepared to suffer from magic power deficiency. It was then that he saw it, a brilliant tattoo that was shining on someone's upper arm.
"...Is it Jesus?'
"Are you mad?"
"I mean, there's been a monster suspected of being Fenrir, and we've even seen a Cyclops. Who says there can't be Jesus?"
The secretary scowled at Yoo Jinhyuk's groundless murmuring.
"Stop messing around and just tell me what you saw. This is important."
"...I found something out, but it's not related to the culprit."
Yoo Jinhyuk couldn't identify the culprit from the tattoo he saw. Since he couldn't find anything out about the culprit, he decided to trace the victim. He figured he could discover the motive by doing so.
