Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 278 Whispering Star (1)

The wind blew past his face.

The Russian hunters were waiting on the superstructure that was just passing from northern Kazakhstan to the Russian border.

The first tower discovered in the northern tip of Siberia was a hunter called Baba Yaga and other hunters who took control of all dungeons and affiliated institutions.

And now he was dragging this flying megalopolis towards Moscow.

“Are you still unable to contact Petrovich?”

“Yes. We have lost contact since the news that the second Fairun appeared in St. Petersburg. It is said that they climbed the second Fairun with a considerable number of hunters… but no one knows whereabouts yet.”

The silver-haired old woman stood expressionlessly with her wand and stared at the fast passing horizon.

Although she is an old woman who seems difficult to move, she knew that the hunters present were completely different from her appearance.

Commonly called Baba Yaga, the witch of the one-legged house, she was one of the most powerful in Russia.

She was originally known as a great beauty, she said, but after she went through what was called the ‘ordeal’ of the weeping star, she became the look of such an old woman, she said. But instead, she became strong enough to wield powers across Russia.

Her influence extended to Russia’s political and financial circles, as well as the military and even President Petrovich.

Now that Petrovich has lost contact, she could be said to be the second power in Russia.

“What should I do? Baba Yaga-sama.”

One of the hunters who kept in touch asked nervously.

“The military is strongly insisting on declaring a state of emergency. In the original plan, the plan is to launch a preemptive nuclear strike in the event of such a sudden disappearance of the head of state.”

“Does this seem like a sudden disappearance? Anyone can see that they set foot in a dungeon on their own terms and were attacked by other people, be they hunters or monsters.

“But wouldn’t that be okay?”

Baba Yaga turned to her Hunter, who brought out her opinion. His blue eyes gleamed coldly.

He was also a member of the weeping star, Verde.

“Anyway, I was planning to use the sky tower to attract as many hunters as possible and then bring them down from a suitable location. If the ‘Eternal Winter’ plan had been successful, there would have been many worshipers of the Wailing Star. Then nuclear winter could have the same result. would it?”

Whatever the process, you only need to reach the goal you wanted from the beginning.

Hunter was suggesting so.

It doesn’t matter if a nuclear war begins, the whole world is devastated, or a nuclear winter begins. Because they serve death itself.

Those who stand alone in a world where all are dead will be the clan of the Weeping Star.

However, Baba Yaga could not agree with Hunter’s opinion.

“no.”

“But…….”

“Death must begin with cold. Not with fire.”

At Baba Yaga’s resolute words, Hunter kept his mouth shut.

If so, then Baba Yaga. Because now she is the representative.

However, there were other reasons for Baba Yaga’s objection.

She was concerned about the powers that could outsmart them if a nuclear war broke out.

‘The conquering star… … .’

She had found her fragments of the conquering stellar apostles in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The ruler of the battlefield, the watchman of fire.

The flames from nuclear war were likely to greatly strengthen the power of the conquering stars.

For this reason, Baba Yaga was coercively suppressing the Russian military.

“If you can’t find Petrovich, tell him to find the whereabouts of Feirun, who appeared in St. Petersburg, right away. And tell the deputy chief to start the process of succession to power. Even if Petrovich is alive, he’ll make sure that he doesn’t have any regrets, so don’t be afraid.”“Don’t be afraid, can I just tell you what you said?”

“Yeah. And…”

toothpaste. Toothless.

It was then. A noise began to be heard in the communication device set to a specific frequency to find Petrovich.

If it wasn’t a satellite error, it was from Petrovich or a party with him.

Baba Yagawa and Hunter’s eyes met. Hunter quickly picked up the radio and made a call.

“Rasputin, our one-legged house. Is that Rasputin?”

Rasputin was the code name given to Petrovich.

However, only the noise was heard, and no proper answer was heard.

But even this was a positive enough sign. Because the bandwidth was inaccessible to anyone but Petrovich, it meant someone was alive anyway.

“When we first came up to Feirun, the radio wave was not good. Try to strengthen the signal a little more.”

“Yes. Rasputin, or the signalman over there, if the VIP is alive, please cut the signal and reconnect it.”

However, the signal continued uninterrupted.

Hunter’s expression darkened slightly. Because there was a high probability that Petrovich was dead. However, there is a possibility that the message has not yet been delivered.

When Hunter tried to send a message again, a message was suddenly heard faintly in the noise.

[Chick, Chichik… … try it sugar… … ]

“Yes? Rasputin, the signal is faint, I can’t hear it. Please strengthen the signal.”

[Thousands… … Chi-chik, Chi-chik… … Dawn, or… … Jijik.]

Baba Yaga raised his wand with an annoyed expression and struck down the communication device at once.

Her hunter looked at her with her bewildered expression, but at that moment, like a miracle, the noise in her communication device disappeared.

Hunter’s face lit up, but the voice from the radio made him hard.

[Abandon the canopy. And surrender or jump down.]

It was the first man’s voice I had ever heard, but it was fluent Russian. But I couldn’t understand the content of the message.

First of all, they didn’t even know what a superstructure was. It was because they had ridden on this tower before the international title of the Tenru was decided.

Baba Yaga stole the radio.

“Who are you? What happened to Petrovich?”

[Gives 30 seconds.]

drop.

After those words, communication was cut off.

Baba Yaga stared at the radio with a distorted expression. Hunter tried to communicate again, but there was no response.

It was something I couldn’t understand.

If you surrender within 30 seconds, you will surrender to someone, and jumping from a superstructure thousands of meters above means simply dying.

Baba Yaga said with a serious expression.

“I don’t think it’s normal. You better hurry. How much more can Feyrun accelerate?”

“If you accelerate further here, the structures built on Feirun will be dangerous…”

Then suddenly a shadow fell over their heads. Since it was flying at an altitude higher than the clouds, it was normal that no shadows were cast.

The eyes of Baba Yagawa and the Hunters turned upward, but they did not understand what was going on.

A huge disk was blocking the sun. And it was getting bigger.

The moment they realized it was belatedly that it was coming over Feirun’s head, they were running in front of you.

Only then did Baba Yaga understand the contents of the communication. And that the other party had no intention of receiving surrender from the beginning.

She let out her shout with her contorted face.

She said, “Do you think it’ll be up to you!”

The moment she slammed the floor with her wand, it shattered. At the same time, her thick icy mist burst out.

The inflated icy mist rose up to the belly of the approaching superstructure in an instant. Inside, the dead stood up mixed like porridge.

By this time, all those who had died at the hands of Baba Yaga had been compressed tightly in her staff.

“I am Baba Yaga! Russia’s strongest, the best!”

***

Hyunmoo was watching the situation from above the nearby high mountains.

The St. Petersburg tower, which had been occupied by Lenian, quickly rushed over the Siberian tower.

It seemed to be a fact that the two towers collided and destroyed in an instant.

It was then.

“Oh? What is that?”

“What?”

Hyunmoo answered Yu-min’s question while watching closely with a telescope.

“Suddenly, from the top of the Siberian tower, someone called out something like a white mist… Oh, it’s no big deal. It’s just crumbly and crumbly.”

Cuckoo Kung.

Since they were quite far apart, the clash of the two towers could be heard with a slight delay.

I could see a huge amount of dust cloud rising. The dust generated by the collision was enough to cover the body of the canopy.

Blood was pouring down like rain from the bottom of the tangled superstructure.

However, there was no need to worry about damage as this is a desert-like border between Russia and Kazakhstan.

However, those who were on the top of the tower could not have survived.

No matter how powerful a person is, if an 18-kilometre-diameter giant object hits their body, they cannot survive.

It would be nice if we could find traces like chopped patties.

“Hmm, of course, it must have been the same for those who jumped and avoided it.”

After a while, the sky tower began to soar up in a huge cloud of dust. Lenian’s tower was pulling up the Siberian tower.

The rapidly ascending superstructures escaped the atmosphere and ascended to a place where the realm of space was certain.

With this, even if someone survived, it became clear that they were organized.

“Now, the Russian hunters and the tower are all sorted out as you wanted. How are you, Lee Ji-tae? Are you happy?”

Lee Ji-tae looked at Hyunmoo with a firm expression.

“I admit it. You did it a lot cleaner than I had planned. And this was something only you could do.”

“No, I have to be precise. I didn’t do it, but Yumin did it.”

Lee Ji-tae turned his head to look at Yu-min. Lee Ji-tae bowed deeply toward Yu-min, who had a triumphant expression on her face.

“I am greatly indebted to you. You will be delighted, too. On behalf of all, thank you.”

“No, your attitude is completely different from saying thank you to me, isn’t it?”

Lee Ji-tae ignored Hyunmoo and stood up.

Now, the appearance of the tower was no longer visible, and only a huge amount of dust remained in the sky.

Of course, this will not be the end of it.

The monsters sprinkled by the sky tower were enormous, and the difficulty increase had already begun.The impact of the vacuum in the Russian leadership will not end with Russia alone.

Thinking back on what the teacher had told him, this was just the beginning.

However, it was true that the beginning was cut off as best as possible thanks to Hyunmoo and Yumin.

“It would have been nice if we had done it this way from the beginning.”

“What is that, after you rescued something from drowning, are you whining to give me a bag?”

“……”

Lee Ji-tae remembered that Kang Hyunmoo was also in the teacher’s grand plan.

As a result, Kang Hyunmoo successfully halted the tower, and he almost did it himself.

Then it might be right to let Kang Hyunmoo do whatever it takes.

‘No, then there would be no need for the teacher to send me here in the first place… … .’

Lee Ji-tae was confused.

But suddenly, I remembered what Hyunmoo had said.

Hyunmoo doesn’t care about himself anymore.

What that means would be that he was no longer stronger and no longer above Hyunmoo.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hurting my self-esteem.

But with those words, Lee Ji-tae realized the path she had to take.

Also, the teacher’s judgment was not wrong. All of this is an adversity.

“Now I think I know my future. Kang Hyunmoo.”

“future?”

Kang Hyunmoo asked, at a sudden, out of place remark. Lee Ji-tae looked at her long past and opened her mouth.

“When I was shining the brightest, I said you’d be by my side. Remember?”

“Remember. Why is that?”

“I didn’t even know what that meant until now. It had only a vague meaning. But that’s what it meant. Not what I was hoping for, but you’ll make me shine the most.”

Lee Ji-tae declared towards Hyunmoo.

“I will become the person you will look up to again. You will make me perfect. I will be the purpose of your life, and you will be the purpose of my life.”

That was the future Lee Ji-tae came up with for Hyunmoo and himself.

A relationship that constantly reflects and bounces off each other, never being together, but ultimately illuminating each other.

Lee Ji-tae wondered if that would be possible, but she believed so.

She couldn’t help but believe it.

“The next time you see me, you’ll see a completely different side of me. Kang Hyunmoo.”

In an instant, Lee Ji-tae spread his wings of brilliance and soared into the sky without saying anything.

She looked like she had no time to waste. Hyunmoo, who stared blankly at the place where Lee Ji-tae had disappeared, murmured.

“What do you mean by that self-consciousness now? Why is it the purpose of my life?”

“Um… is that a kind of confession no matter how you look at it?”

Hyunmoo was startled by Yu-min’s suspicion.

“No, why? Did we seem so distant from each other?!”

“I’ve been a little less expressive of affection these days, but…”

Before the two of them started expressing their affection, someone coughed. A man from behind the rock came up to me, deliberately pretending to be popular.

It was Lee Seo-yeon.

“…Is Lee Ji-tae gone?”
