Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 179
Episode 179
He shook his shoulders. His eyes, closer than ever, wavered foolishly.
There are times when I just stand there awkwardly, saying I don’t know how to make facial expressions.
“It’s okay.”
Seora grinned as if she was satisfied. The unfamiliar pain I felt in my heart and fingertips now colored my lips hotly.
The manager wanted to ask.
What do you call this pain?
“good night.”
She held the manager in her arms. His forehead automatically touched her shoulder.
Even though it was not a real body but a disguised fox, I was very happy to get close to it with its body temperature.
The manager’s scarred hands hugged Seo-ra’s back.
Is it because we have a deep relationship bound by two contracts, or is it because we get to know each other better?
Even the managers thought that they felt more connected to each other than usual.
That feeling made me incredibly happy.

After returning home, Sejun Kang immediately called WDO President Roderick. As if he had been waiting, he answered the phone before the number of beeps went off.
—This is Alexander Roderick. I was waiting.
“Thank you for keeping your promise.”
—Seo-ra Yoon Is Hunter okay?
Although he must have been in a hurry, he asked about Seo-ra’s well-being first rather than asking for information right away. Kang Se-jun laughed bitterly because he was well aware of this type of person.
“yes. I returned home safely. sorry. “Even if I was in a hurry, I offered information about the labyrinth as a condition of the transaction.”
-no. I understand the situation. Rather, thanks to Hunter Yoon Seo-ra’s help in conquering the Indian dungeon, it ended without any major sacrifices. I am truly grateful. However, the news that you were injured really bothers me.
“I don’t know how I got injured. “Because you didn’t say anything.”
Kang Se-jun sighed. It was fortunate that I had no intention of forgiving him.
“As promised, I will give you information about the dungeon.”
—But I heard that Hunter Seong Ja-rim remembered one change. Is Hunter Se-jun Kang explaining it?
“I have something to tell you.”
—Kang Se-jun Are you a hunter…? Could it be that Hunter Kang is like Hunter Seong Ja-rim…?
“no. “I have been on Earth the entire time and have never gone missing from the dungeon.”
-then?
Kang Se-jun slowly brought out his story with a threat that he should never reveal this fact.
He’s a regressor. Through a contract with a god with time-related abilities, he was able to return when the past world was destroyed and even he faced death.
However, because of countless failures, this world is already repeating itself for the sixth time.
It’s a short story, but it was more shocking than the existence of Seong Ja-rim, a dungeon survivor.
Even after the conversation was over, Roderick could not continue speaking for a long time.
—Return… This is already the sixth time in this world…?
“It might be hard to believe, but it’s true. Hunter Seong Ja-rim and Yoon Seo-ra already know about this.”
—No ha.
Roderick sighed. The words of disbelief will be all the way up to your throat.
“Of course, I don’t know everything because the world doesn’t always work the same way. But I do know at least one thing: what lies ahead in the labyrinth. “I have been to the 11th floor in the past.”
11th floor. It was a distant story as I had just conquered the 8th floor. Rodrik was torn between doubt and faith.
“In the battle with the 8th floor Apocalypse Dragon, at least one person would have died if I hadn’t asked Yoon Seo-ra, who has an absolute mental barrier, to attack it.”
—….
Roderick’s voice coming from the other end of the phone suddenly stopped. He also knew it well. Clearing the 8th floor of the labyrinth would have been dangerous without Oliver and Yoon Seo-ra.
Because of the two people, the attack was able to be completed without a single casualty or serious injury.
But that’s all thanks to Kang Se-jun’s preparation in advance.
—Why, if that is true, why are you revealing it now? If only I had done it sooner, the previous labyrinth….
“The time I return is after the 7th floor of the labyrinth has already been conquered. I don’t know why, but life always starts again from a certain time. “There is nothing I can do to change that.”
Okay, so we couldn’t save Yoon Seo-ra and we couldn’t save Yoon Jae-heon either.
Even now, he doesn’t know why he only goes back to that time. It doesn’t seem like a particularly special day. Even when I asked the Eucharist, there was no answer.
—Hmm, I see… Then why didn’t you notify us immediately after the regression?
“I have already revealed this several times in my past five lives. But most of the time it led to a more terrible ending. “The thing that had the least impact was after the news of the 9th floor flowering was announced, so I tried to reveal it then as well.”
However, a problem related to Yoon Seo-ra arose, so it was revealed sooner than expected. Sejun Kang explained it that way.
“President, I am not lying. Listen carefully now. “I will explain to you when the 9th floor of the Labyrinth will open, what happens there, and what is currently happening in the dungeon due to the 9th floor’s influence.”
A long conversation followed.
Kang Se-jun’s voice was consistently calm, but Roderick, who actually heard it, was astonished.
What does this mean? Is this real? Does that really happen?
—How could that happen!
“Do you remember what Seong Ja-rim said when he revealed his identity during the meeting after conquering the 8th floor of the labyrinth?”
“You don’t know how to make dungeons and gates disappear?”
“Well, there is one thing…”
“There is one? “What is it?”
“…Planet destruction? “Once all living things disappear, they no longer appear.”
“That’s what happened on the 9th and 10th floors of the labyrinth. If you don’t believe me and don’t make any preparations, the Earth will also meet the same end. In fact, even though I made it to the 11th floor… the world was already halfway collapsed.”
—Ah….
I heard the sound of Roderick collapsing in shock through the phone.
—Do you swear that there is no lie in what you say…?
“I swear. Why do you think I’m repeating life in the first place? I hope that this world will become peaceful. “I especially want to achieve peace in this life.”
Will life continue to repeat itself in order to destroy the world?
Rodrik lamented. If he really is a regressor, we have to believe him.
—Then let’s get this straight…
“No. Because this is a special situation, I only told the president first, but informing everyone must be done immediately after the news of the 9th floor flowering is announced. You said that in the past, if you announced this fact quickly, you met a terrible end, right? “Because there were people who saw the incident on the 9th floor as an opportunity.”
—….
Roderick did not strongly deny it, saying it couldn’t be so. He knows it too. The fact that there may be people who really want to take advantage of it.
“The 9th floor will open soon. At that time, I will go to the United States and reveal this fact in person. In the meantime, Mr. President, please keep this secret. “I definitely want to surpass the 11th floor this time.”
It was only after a long time that I heard Roderick’s reply that he understood. Kang Se-jun breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone, telling him to rest. Although I probably won’t be able to rest.
“Yes, this time…”
He brought his joined hands to his forehead.
My sixth life was the most perfect so far. There are strong supporters in Yoon Seo-ra and Seong Ja-rim, and Song Hanna and Yoon Jae-heon are also alive and not dead.
So this time, you must kill the monster on the 11th floor and bring peace to this world.
I really wanted to keep my promise to Seo-ra to live together until I grow old and die so that he would not return alone.

A quiet space where all those protecting the surroundings have retreated.
Knock knock knock. A nervous sound echoed through the room.
“So you came back like this without accomplishing any of my orders…”
Ryu Jin-ryang’s gaze went down to Wei Hu’s empty right shoulder, which was lying face down.
“And that too after losing an arm.”
“sorry.”
“How should I accept this?”
There were two orders given to Wei Hu.
First, conquer the lock dungeon without the help of Athena or Guidance.
Two, get rid of the head bangs.
However, I never thought I would come back without being able to do even a single thing, and even without my right arm, which I mainly use. After Wei Hu awakened to L-class, he had given numerous orders, but this was the first time he had done anything like this. So I was more embarrassed than angry.
“Was he that strong? To the extent that you had to run away without even being able to conquer the dungeon?”
“It’s strong.”
“Huh.”
Liu Jinliang did not blame Wei Hu for running away. In the first place, he was not ordered to kill himself if he failed in his mission, so it was natural for him to come back alive.
Of course, there will be punishment for failure… but right now I was more curious about information about Headbang.
“I didn’t believe you when you said Lu Enyu was strong. “No matter how strong you are, I thought you were just a newbie who just made it to Class L, but even you are strong enough to run away.”
I heard that Kang Se-jun and Seong Ja-rim are not usually strong. But the most recently awakened guy, who went from F-class to L-class, is capable of beating Weihu?
This was not good news for China, which is aiming for world hegemony. The only conclusion I could come to was that I had to get rid of her somehow.
