How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Chapter 44

After defeating the giant tree monster, me and Yerin were rescued by the security guards and the monster oppression unit who were dispatched soon.  

As soon as we left the Rift, we were immediately transferred to the place where the medical staffs were and got tested for this and that.  

Although I was not affected by the red energy of the tree monster, the medical staff kept testing me saying that I may have after effects later, so I was kept in observation for the time being.  

Since I was exposed to red energy only for a short period of time, the tests were completed quickly.

On the other hand Yerin, who had been exposed for a relatively longer time, kept taking tests more than me.  

After waiting for about 30 minutes, she appeared after taking all the tests.

Yerin smiled when she found me waiting.

"Hehe. Were you waiting?" 

"Of course, I'll wait. Are you okay? Did the test results come out well?

First of all, there's no big problem. But since I was exposed to the monster's red energy for a little longer, they said the chances of after effects coming later are pretty high." 

I was hardened by the guilt that I felt.  

Even if it wasn't my fault that this incident happened, the reason why Yerin came to the Rift in the first place, was because of my request.  

Yerin quickly caught on to my thoughts and showed exaggerated expressions and actions pretending to be okay.

"Geez, Doctors always talk like that to scare patients. If its a person like me, with great experience and skills, then there's no problem with the aftereffects. 

Really?" 

"Don't worry about nothing and brighten up. You should be happy at this moment. Which newbie could have got such a dramatic Rift debut as yours.? 

Yerin winked her eye jokingly.  

Without realizing, I burst into laughter.  

The guilt that weighed down the heart became a little lighter, and in turn, that place got filled with gratitude for Yerin.  

Just as we got out of the heavy atmosphere, someone familiar approached us.  

It was the security guard who escaped first with others.

"I'm so glad. Both of you are safe.

Tears started piling up in his eyes as soon as he saw Yerin.

Yerin greeted him with a smile. 

Thank you so much. I should be the one, who should have done what you did, but I

Its okay. Im also a hunter, so its a part of my job too. So are the others okay?" 

"Yes, everyone is fine. Some have already returned home with their families after treatment. They kept worrying about both of you until just before they left." 

"That's a relief." 

"It would have been really dangerous if it isnt for the two of you. Thanks once again. Really Thank you.

The security guard repeatedly expressed his gratitude with red eyes and a half-clouded voice.  

At his sincere greeting, I waved my hand, saying it was okay, while Yerin, who was playful, also blushed with pride and a little embarrassment.

However, the warmth surrounding the three of us did not last that long.

Several hard-faced men approached us.

The atmosphere quickly became chilly due to the uninvited guests.

"Are you Lim Sihyeon?" 

"Yes, I'm Lim Sihyeon." 

"I'm Detective Kang Hong of the Crime Investigation Unit.

The man introduced himself by showing his police ID card. 

I asked back with a puzzled look.  

"Ok. But why is a Detective looking for me.? 

"I came here because I got a report about the use of illegal artifact. Please cooperate with the investigation." 

What?" 

I was surprised and looked at the detective with astonishment. 

Yerin, who was watching from the side, suddenly intervened angrily.

Why are you investigating Sihyeon? If you really investigated this matter, you should give him an award.

"That's right. He's the one who saved us from danger."  

Not only Yerin but also the security guard complained of injustice, but Detective Kang Hong remained stubborn.  

"It doesn't matter whether he did good things or not. If the artifact he used is illegal, we are naturally obligated to investigate.

"Who reported Sihyeon?"  

"Of course I can't tell you that" 

" We reported.

A middle-aged man in his 50s appeared behind the detective. 

And next to him, Jang Hyunjae was standing.

That bloody perv!" 

"Hey, there is a detective here. Watch what you say..

Jang Hyunjae snarled to Yerin's violent response.

I kept my head as cool as possible and opened my mouth in a calm tone.  

"Detective, do you know what happened inside the Rift?

"Yes, I heard that there was a friction between you guys due to a problem that occurred while the White Tiger guild members were in the process catching the field Boss monster.

Then the middle-aged man behind the detective intervened his words.

"It's not friction. Those two guys attacked my nephew first. That's why the field Boss monster went into a Rampage state and things got to this point.

"What nonsense are you talking? That perv attacked us first.

Hey little girl. Lower your voice when talking to an adult. Do you know who I am? Im Jang Byungho, deputy guild leader of White Tiger Guild!"  

Due to the loud voice of the two, people began to gather around.

The detective stepped up in the middle and calmed down the two excited people.

"Both of you, step back. If you continue to interfere like this, we will arrest you all for obstruction of official duties. 

"Hmm." 

"Haah" 

Detective Kang Hong turned to me again.

"Lim Sihyeon, I heard that you fought with Jang Hyunjae here using artifact and defeated the field boss alone. Is that right?" 

"Ah Yes, that's right." 

"Jang Hyunjae stated that he witnessed the illegal use of artifact during the battle. Do you admit that?

Detective, there's nothing to ask. Does it make sense to defeat a field Boss monster with a single spell? That artifact must have been made with an illegal renovation."  

Jang Hyun-jae pointed his finger at me and and Detective Kang Hong stared at me with suspicious eyes. 

Uh-huh, why did things turn out like this'  

I scratched my head with an awkward look on my face.  

I don't know much about artifacts, but it was hard to think that Andras gave me something problematic. 

My faith in him did not falter.

I organized my thoughts and talked honestly about this situation.  

Detective Kang Hong. I don't know much about this artifacts. I just received what was made by a friend. And I don't think this is an illegal artifact."  

"Then could you tell me the identification code of the artifact.? If it's not illegal, you have a normal identification coderight.?

Identification code?" 

I made a blank expression at the word I heard for the first time. 

When I stood confused, Yerin came up to me and said.

"When a artifact is produced, a unique identification code is unconditionally given. Maybe there's a code stamped here"  

Yerin looked around for a long time at the artifacts I was wearing in my hand.  

Then her face gradually turned into confusion, and looked at me with an expression of disbelief, saying, 

"Sihyeon you.? 

"?" 

There is no identification code in this artifact" 

Seo Yerin looked at me with disbelief.

On the other hand, Jang Hyunjae and Jang Byungho laughed looking at me sarcastically. 

"Look. I knew it." 

"What are you doing, detective? Catch that criminal!

At the urging of Jang Byungho, detectives that came along Detective Kang Hong quickly surrounded me.

They directly confirmed that there was no identification code in the artifact and detective Kang Hong spoke.

"Lim Sihyeon, let's talk about the illegal artifact at the police station."  

Yerin and the security guard looked at me with a devastated look. 

People around me also came out and whispered while watching artifact in my hand.  

I opened my mouth while maintaining a calm look at the approaching detectives.  

Detective, can I call someone before I go with you?"  

"If you're going to call a lawyer, you can do it at the police station."  

No. Someone asked me to contact him if there was any problem with the artifact."  

The detective who was stubborn at the beginning,  showed some interest to what I said.  

He seemed to have expected that, it to be a person related to illegal artifacts.  

He backed down a little with other detectives.

"Not too long. Make it quick" 

"Thank you." 

I took out my cell phone and called the contact number on the business card that Ryan gave me. 

The phone got connected immediately.  

"Oh! Hello. I contacted you through the introduction of Ryan. 

-.

Things got a little complicated. 

I explained the current situation as simply as possible.

"Oh, yes. Okay." 

I stopped the call for a while and handed over the cell phone I was holding to Detective Kang Hong.

Detective. This person wants to talk to you." 

Jang Byungho, the deputy guild leader of White Tiger Guild, felt a relief on the inside.  

He thought he could somehow cover up his nephew's mistake, the guild's biggest headache.  

If it weren't for his son.. 

He thought, he got lucky this time. 

He never thought that the person in question really had illegal artifact.  

The news of his nephew's mistake of failing to hunt for the Boss monster made him first angry. 

As soon as he found out the ugly truth and investigated, he came to found out the person in question has nothing to Guardians guild and an incomplete awakener until a few months ago.

He felt lucky and started to plot a plan to escape from the mess created by his nephew.

First, he reported the problem by fabricating, at police station to get an advantageous position.  

Due to the value of the name White Tiger Guild, the police immediately responded.

And as soon as it was revealed that there was no artifact identification code Jang Byungho jumped in joy on the inside as if he had hit a jackpot.

Even if it wasn't an illegal artifact, he was going to drive it into a mud fight while moderating the public opinion on their favor. 

But, the other party really had illegal artifact.  

Done! 

He thought that if he made this illegal artifact as a big issue, then he can cover up the mistakes of his human garbage nephew. 

He felt like the heaven was on his side.

Jang Byungho smiled leisurely as he made a gloomy plan on the inside.

"Detective. Can I make a call before I go with you?"  

Jang Byungho laughed at seeing Lim Sihyeons desperate attempt to escape.

Tch. Typical commoner..  struggling desperately till the end.

But with the phone call, the situation began to flow different direction than he had expected.

"Yes, Who are you?" 

- Thats my question. Who the hell are you 

"Ah! What..Im Detective Kang Hong of the Crime Investigation Unit. 

Crime Unithuh.How is that geezer chief Ko Sooyeol doing? Is he still bragging about how adorable his grandson is during work hours.?

Detective Kang Hong suddenly lowered the voice to the person on the phone.  

Jang Byungho became puzzled by the sudden change of events.

"Okay, I'll take care of it as you said. Can you wait a moment? 

".?" 

"Jang Byungho, deputy guild leader. Please answer the phone."  

Jang Byungho felt very unpleasant, but he was forced to accept the cell phone under the pressure from the detective.

- How are you doing Sh*t cleaner of White Tiger guild.? Didnt your idiot brother taught to you to check twice before you pick a fight with someone.?  

I don't care who you are.watch your words do you know who I am? 

-I don't care much about who you are. I just take care of what I have to do.  

Anger rose exponentially over the manners of the speaker on the other end, and at the same time, he felt chill on one side.  

He suppressed his emotions with the instinct from his experience. 

And he opened his mouth with a more cautious tone.

"I'm Jang Byungho, deputy guild leader of White Tiger guild. If you know courtesy, identify yourself." 

I don't value the courtesy of as*holes. Well, I think this will make things fast, so I'll tell you. I'm Lee Seok, the head of the Dimension management headquarters." 

".!" 

Jang Byungho's expression began to crumble.
