Chapter 29

Although there was a small (?) hiccup, the aftermath was handled swiftly.

Once the Association Hunters realized Sooho was not a demon, they received his guidance and quickly arrived at the factory.

“By the way, where are all the demons?”

Upon arriving at the factory, they found only traces of battle, and there was no sign of the demons. As the Hunters looked at Sooho with suspicion, he made an awkward expression.

“Haha, yeah. Maybe they all ran away while we were coming?”

[Burp.]

Beru openly burped next to Sooho, but no one suspected him. They just assumed he was a pet the size of a stuffed animal.

“Well, we did come too quickly. We immediately responded to the report.”

[Chirp.]

Although Beru openly cleaned himself next to Sooho, no one suspected him. Despite his protruding belly, he seemed like a normal stuffed animal.
“At least we secured the scene, so that’s fortunate.”

In fact, this was a great achievement. They found the factory where Stardust was being produced for the first time. Above all, they revealed the shocking fact that people’s lives were sacrificed in the manufacturing process.

“Thank you very much.”

After a while, the Association Hunters who came out of the field gathered all the Hunters on the scene, including Sooho and Assistant Professor Im, and expressed their gratitude. “Thanks to your report, we can prevent many crimes in the future. From now on, our association and police Hunters will do our best to investigate.”

And they added one thing, “And you will receive a reward for this incident.”

It turned out that there was a certain reward for those who reported the crime.

‘Well, that’s good. I should buy some meat or food for those short on blood with this money.’

Sooho nodded, thinking of the alien races he had left behind in the Shadow Dungeon. Whether they were the last descendants of the canine clan or the surviving demon noble, they were nothing but hungry refugees to Sooho.

… He opened his eyes and found an unfamiliar ceiling.

“Ugh.”

“Team Leader, are you feeling better?”

Team Leader Han Jaehyuk raised his groggy body from the bed.

White walls and the smell of disinfectant. It was a hospital.

Han Jaehyuk looked at his subordinates with a confused expression. “Why am I here?”

“Don’t you remember? You fainted, sir.”

“Fainted?”

“Yes, someone punched you.”

“Oh.”

Only then did he remember the fleeting memory.

‘That crow mask!’

Team Leader Han Jaehyuk hurriedly got up from his bed and shouted, “What about the demon? What happened to the demon!?”

“That person wasn’t a demon, sir.”

“Huh? What, it wasn’t?”

“No, that person was the Hunter we went to find.”
