I Login Alone - Chapter 178

Chapter 178

It would be even stranger if the explosion in the heart of downtown London didn’t cause a stir. Citizens were taking to the streets, quickly finding Jung Si-woo in front of the collapsed hotel.

“Hey, what are you doing there?”

“This place is dangerous, so evacuate as far away as possible.”

Jung Si-woo just said that and smiled lightly. No one dared to resist the dignity of the dragon rising from him, and the citizens immediately began to evacuate busily as if his words were a complete order.

“Run! Let’s get far away from here!”

“Hey, don’t stand there blankly; follow his lead! Run!”

There was silence for a while. Only the shouts of people trying to stay as far away from this scene were heard in the distance.

“There’s no next raid.”

“It’s gone.”

Jung Si-woo quietly added a word to Soo Ah-rin’s mumbling. She trembled a little.

“How’s it going?”

“We’re taking all of them. And now I’m looking for a line leading up from them. This may not be solved by ghosts alone.”

He had a splitting headache. No matter how much assistance he had from Caina, it wasn’t for humans to simultaneously analyze the information sent by tens of thousands of ghosts. Nevertheless, it meant that Jung Si-woo was far beyond the level of human beings, both physically and mentally. Even now, he was growing. He quickly gritted his teeth, scouring the enemy information sent by his legion.

“You’ve brought a variety of magic artifacts and military weapons. You bastards…”

“Oh, you know…”

Soo Ah-rin raised one hand to point into the air. There was a group of ghosts that came together like clouds and a human being struggling between them. He seemed to be screaming, but the ghosts blocked his throat.

“All right, one. Oh, you two.”

“Ah…”

It was a traumatizing scene as the human wordlessly struggled. Of course, they must be devastated by it, although they would only suffer more from now on.

“This way.”

[Okay.]

One by one, the ghosts grabbed the humans and threw them to one side. Completely incapacitated and possessed by one ghost at a time, they lost their energy and went limp. Jung Si-woo took out his subspace pocket items they had, especially their firearms and artifacts. When the number of people captured exceeded three digits, the space pocket slowly became full. He took out a new one.

“Hey, isn’t this person a Ranker?”

“Oh?”

Somehow, the ghost seemed to have recalled quite a bit, and even the rankers were mobilized. Still, the ghosts under Jung Si-woo were qualitatively incomparable to the ghosts in the lower undead dungeon. Even if hundreds were called back, there was nothing they could do if thousands came at once.

[Master, you’re back. Anyone who has any connection with the explosion in the city is here.]

“Yes, Caina. Good job.”

Two hundred eighty-six people were caught, the entire London area, where communication was restricted, was [purified]. There were no more people left to squander in London. They were all shivering and rolling on the floor in front of the hotel’s rubble.

“Si-woo, you…”

Jung Si-hwan murmured at a loss. No special forces would have been able to capture this number of people without noise. In the process, there must have been countless damage on top of the hotel that just exploded. However, Jung Si-woo dealt with beings that were essentially different from humans and solved it simply. It was only 37 minutes after the first incident, but the case ended.

“No, it’s just the beginning. There’s still something important left.”

Still, Yongseong seemed to have made the lowest preparation. No one in this place could guess the connection to this utility guild. There was a mixture of Asians and Westerners and Rankers who were likely hired to kidnap Jung Si-hwan.

“They have magic stones in their bodies.”

“Are you saying that you’re a colleague with Yongseong?”

“Maybe there are people of various nationalities…”

Jung Si-woo grabbed the rankers. Having been unable to get his mind together, he was able to move with his eyes open properly only when Jung Si-woo removed the ghosts that had been writhing over his body.

“Oh, my God.”

It was the first thing he uttered facing Jung Si-woo, who greeted him with a light smile.

“I didn’t know I had to deal with Jung Si-woo.”

“Really? I’m sorry I didn’t know why. Oh, this is my father. Say hello.”

“…I’m Jung Si-hwan. Don’t tell me you’re going to take personal credit at the expense of your own country. I’m disappointed.”

“Oh…damn it.”

British Ranker Wyatt Baker neatly gave up his life the moment he realized the identity of his target character. While cursing Lee Kang-hoo for completely deceiving him, he cautiously defended himself.

“Sorry, I didn’t know it was your father. I’m not good at distinguishing Asians.”

“It’s unfortunate. In reality, not a dungeon; players have to threaten each other’s lives. That’s what you think, isn’t it?

When Baker heard Jung Si-woo’s implication, he thought he might not be comfortable even after he died. In his head, Kim Ha-ryong was excitedly beaten by Jung Si-woo in public. And now, he wasn’t showing up anywhere. Baker shuddered as Jung Si-woo continued.

“It’s too late, but I think there’s still more you can do. If only you could say what you were going to do, everything you knew…and you’re the only one who can do it.”

“I’m sorry, but that’s…”

“On the contrary, I can’t imagine how far the damage would spread.”

He must have exchanged many things with Yongseong Guild confidentially. They must have had some weaknesses in each other. Of course, Jung Si-woo didn’t care about such things.

“I don’t care even if you don’t tell me.”

Jung Si-woo finished his speech quietly.

“I’ll find out eventually.”

“…Hoo.”

Hearing that, Baker decided to blow away all his hesitation and tell him everything he knew. The reward enabled him to die as clean as he was promised. Of course, all that remained after his death would be at Jung Si-woo’s disposal.

“Father, take this.”

“It’s…I see. But.”

After organizing the situation, Jung Si-woo left the subspace pouch to his father. It was enough data to find a connection with Yongseong Guild. However, Jung Si-hwan bit his lips while accepting it.

“It’s too much to move things forward with this right now, Si-woo. It takes some time to analyze everything and secure enough evidence and justification to push them. And by then, they’ll have more than enough to make a way out.”

“I didn’t need that in the first place, Dad. All I have to convince is myself.”

“Si-woo.”

Jung Si-woo was no longer listening to his father. He sent all the ghosts back to where they were before, pulled out the phantom bike, and climbed aboard.

“Se-ha, make sure you protect my father.”

“Just leave it to me.”

[We will carry out your orders!]

Since he had attached the best ghosts, including the ghost of Ranker, next to Yong se-ha, it would be safe even if Kang-hoo himself stopped by. Of course, he wouldn’t be able to afford to do that himself. He grinned and glanced at his father, who had a troubled look on his face.

“I’ll take care of it as quietly as I can. I know what you’re worried about. I’ll do my best to make it a little more civilized.”

“I’m worried about you, be careful not to let your pride get you. The opponent is a huge force.”

No matter how many ghosts he had, they couldn’t guarantee victory or defeat. At least, that was the group that Jung Si-hwan, the Mana Stone Management Exchange head, investigated and identified. There was no comparison in quality or quantity with Kim Ha-ryong, who in the narrow Korean land!

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Jung Si-woo nodded. Of course, he knew very well that arrogance was dangerous. Just a while ago, he was scolded by Hecto. No matter how hard he tried, he didn’t lack learning skills. However, Jung Si-woo, who Jung Si-hwan saw today, just dealt with the ghost legion. Even if he saw Jung Si-woo using his strength, he would just think that his son was strong. He couldn’t recognize the extent of his son’s power.

[The great master worries the world. Even if all the legions, including myself, come at him, I couldn’t help my master.]

“Shut up, you son of a bitch.”

He was glad his father didn’t hear it. Jung Si-woo put Soo Ah-rin in his arms and Caina on the back seat before taking off. Jung Si-hwan stayed there and watched his son’s back for a long while.

“So what do you think, Se-ha? Do you think she looks like a daughter-in-law candidate?”

“Um…well, I don’t know.”

“This many candidates for such a true daughter-in-law makes me feel like my son has gone a long way…”

“That’s a strange point of appreciation…”

For a moment, to avoid reality in the face of a vague and dark situation, Jung Si-hwan accompanied Yong Se-ha and immediately started what he could do now. He had to resolve the communication blockage and inform the British and American governments and the WPC of the seriousness of the situation, somehow justifying the massive violence his son was committing.

About 45 minutes later, Jung Si-woo arrived in Beijing, China, the location of the Yongseong Guild’s headquarters.
