Chapter 119: Short
The air hung heavy. Jung Bin placed the notebook on his lap and clasped his hands together, closing his eyes tightly. The bodies buried in that place. Among them, there would be several hunters Jung Bin knew.
And the last survivor who had witnessed their final moments...
"It's a miracle that you came back."
In a world where countless hunters lost their minds watching their comrades die right beside them, this was especially true. It was a story no one who hadn't experienced it could dare to console or claim to understand. So, Jung Bin barely opened his mouth, speaking formally.
"...Yes, I understand why you appeared in the eroded dungeon. If that's the reason, of course, we should cooperate. You'll need information on the eroded dungeon as well, won't you?"
"Are you okay with that?"
"There's no reason not to be. As you said, you're a hero of this nation."
Kuk. J let out a short groan and twisted his body in a small wriggle. The reaction was more intense than expected, making Jung Bin, who had spoken with genuine intent, awkwardly scratch the back of his neck.
Jung Bin cleared his throat briefly and furrowed his brows slightly.
"Ah, but providing information on the eroded dungeon might take some time. It's not under my jurisdiction."
"Who manages it?"
"You might have heard of him... Guild Leader Nam Woo-jin of the Seowon Guild manages it. He was the first to discover it, and he's been observing it ever since."
