Chapter 126
Episode 126 Dead Person (5)
A rank 3 monster, Vandemon.
It is a kind of ‘rare species’ monster that is difficult to encounter due to several appearance conditions, although it belongs to the lower ranks among the 3 levels of difficulty.
So, I chose this as my first information sharing issue.
Even if you’re a cheat mode player, you won’t have much experience in defeating bandemons.
There wouldn’t have been any more to catch it with the three of us.
‘Even if I know more than anything, it’s useless.’
In fact, this worked the most.
Bandemons are hard to come by.
And it’s harder to defeat him with three people.
This is not a cheat mode where you can eat up to 30 essences. To put it simply, even if you listen to it, ‘Is there such a thing? It means that the level of information ends at the level of ‘It’s amazing’.
Yes, it should have been…
“Is that true?! Ah ah! I didn’t doubt it. Really. You know?”
Everyone’s reaction is a bit strange, starting with the fox mask that jumps up and asks questions and then hurriedly makes excuses.
“……The three of us will catch the Vandaemon?”
“If it’s a Vandaemon, it must be a 3rd class monster. Is that possible…?”
A reaction as if he had heard some nonsense.
“Then let’s move on.”
I skipped the turn as if it was no big deal.
In fact, it was intended to divert attention from me, but thanks to the mysterious image, no one noticed.
“Fortunately, the green light is on.”
After that, the last turn, the deer antlers, gave information and received an ok, and the round ended.
According to the announcement at the time of admission, from now on, the participants will consult with each other to decide whether or not to run one more lap…
“I’ll stop here today.”
When Crescent Moon, who had not prepared much, declared that he would leave after the first lap, the atmosphere flowed in the direction that the rally would end here.
“Hmm, that’s it for me too. I’ll save what I was going to use today and use it for the next meeting.”
“If Fox is missing, I’ll quit too. There’s a lot I’ve prepared, but… I’m not sure about the information these two don’t know.”
When the fox and the deer antlers expressed their intention to not attend for different reasons, the clown looked at me with a calm voice.
“What are you going to do, Mr. Saja? I can continue the meeting alone—”
“I’ll stop here too.”
“Yes? Why?”
I shrugged and kept quiet.
That’s right, I’d also like to go round and round and collect information, but
…
The risk is great.
I threw in the information, but if the green light turns on, it could be revealed that I’m a newbie.
Listening to information one by one is not very efficient.
“Hmm, it’s a pity. I met someone who could be of help to me for the first time, and this is the end.”
The meeting came to an end with the clown’s words dripping with regret.
But what is this again?
“…….”
Even though the rally is over, everyone doesn’t leave the chat room and quietly notices.
I pretended not to, but it wasn’t hard to recognize that their attention was on me.
He seemed to think that I would leave a few words before leaving.
‘……Yes, the main character of the day was me.’
I smiled and thought about it seriously.
First meeting attended.
Today, I succeeded in building a ‘concept’ that would not be looked down upon by deceased figures here.
So, what is the most appropriate action for this concept?
“…….”
Clown antlers fox crescent moon.
I slowly looked into the four deceased figures I met today, one by one.
And…
“At least this much.”
just went out
***
“I’m gone……”
At the same time as the lion left, the fox let out a long breath.
“Fox, are you okay?”
The crescent moon looked at her and asked cautiously.
The subject was omitted, but the meaning was clear.
Because it was really dangerous.
“……I’m fine.”
To live, to kill.
intention to kill someone.
Intangible things that are usually difficult to feel unless you have a good sense of humor.
However, in this special space where mind and spirit interlock, the story is a little different.
“Are you really okay? My fingertips have been shaking ever since.”
Since there is no filter called the body, the moment you are exposed to death, an overwhelming fear is engraved in your mind.
Of course, most of them end there, but…
In severe cases, the spiritual body is severely damaged, and the aftereffects are accompanied even in the real world.
“It’ll stop soon. Fortunately, it didn’t go as far as mental contamination.”
Even as he said that, the fox was dizzy.
What would have happened if the investigator had reaped life even a little late?
I got goosebumps just thinking about it.
Even if it’s not crazy, it’s possible that you have a speech impediment to the extent of stuttering.
“Who the heck is he…?”
The fox spit out the question he had been holding back.
A newcomer who came in a year after the master disappeared.
I thought I had a high mental barrier, but I could only survive for a few seconds.
It’s to the point of wondering what the hell must go through for the human mind to reach that realm… but
there’s something really surprising.
“As soon as he realized that I was my limit, he stopped living. And that in an instant.”
“…… I guess it wasn’t my mistake.”
The oppressive life disappeared in less than a second.
This is something that is difficult to describe in any words.
To erase the embodied will at once through extreme immersion?
Is that possible with the human mind?
‘Why did I have to come forward and bring it back then…’
While the fox regretted his careless action, the deer antlers opened its mouth.
“What do you think of that word earlier?”
“Are you talking about the Vandaemon?”
“okay.”
“A lie…… there’s no way. Once the light of truth is turned on.”
Of course, the jewels of the round table are not absolute.
If the speaker firmly believes that it is ‘the truth’ and has no doubts, the jewel emits a green light.
But…
“Somehow I don’t think he’s misunderstood.”
“That… I agree with you. That’s why it’s confusing.”
In order for the investigator’s information to be true, one premise must be satisfied.
Defeat the Bandemon with three people.
“I’m sure you’re talking about in-game, but it sounds too far-fetched to me.”
“Wouldn’t it be possible with a 50x mode? Well, I don’t think Ryan would have cleared it on that difficulty.”
The crescent moon smiled at the murmur of the antlers and joined the conversation.
and that moment.
“Hmm, you’re assuming that it’s the information Mr. Saja found out in the game, right?”
A moment of silence passed as the clown said something meaningful.
“…….”
“…….”
Of course, that time was extremely short.
All three shook their heads and smiled.
“…Haha, that could be the case.”
“Clown, you always say strange things.”
The fox felt the same way, though he didn’t say anything negative like the two of them.
How would you do something that would be difficult in a game if you were to attack the Bandemon with three people?
“You all lack imagination.”
The clown clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like something.
“It’s okay, I hope you prepare hard next time.”
“Are you ready?”
“Information! Information! What the hell is this? A person like that came here, but there’s no information, so I have to send it right away. If that person loses interest in this place, are you going to take responsibility? I don’t know what I’ll tell you in the future?”
“Didn’t you hear what he said earlier? You’re clearly disappointed. Disappointed!
”
“Keuk keuh …….”
“If you don’t have anything worthwhile, find something stimulating and fun. I don’t intend to miss this opportunity because of you guys. Got it?”
At the clown’s sarcasm, the three of them kept their mouths shut.
He said nothing and maintained an awkward silence.
Watcher of the Round Table.
A place of secret exchange that ordinary players do not even know of its existence. The three of them were proud of being members of this place.
But…
[At least this much.]
Everything was broken with that one word.
I realized that everything was arrogance at the cold, mocking gaze. I acknowledged it without even knowing it as I left without looking back.
Watcher of the Round Table.
In the end, this too was just a well for someone.
***
‘It was an interesting place.’
I opened my eyes with a sense of complete satisfaction.
Lee Han-soo’s room with a bed and a computer desk next to each other.
I checked the time and closed my eyes again.
‘The Watcher of the Round Table…….’
Lee Baek-ho told me about this community, which was more useful than I thought. Should I say that it is just right to become a source of high-quality information that I lacked the most?
‘I have to stick around until it’s ruined somehow.’
Of course, for this, it was necessary to maintain the quality of the concept consistently.
I won’t be able to kick you out right away because I’m a newbie, but the attempt to dig into my identity will be much more direct. ‘Anyway
, I’m going
to organize the things that can be solved with information from there tomorrow .
[Sergeant Lee]
Baekho Lee.
The crystallization of misfortune summoned here after clearing the game I couldn’t finish on vacation on the day I was discharged… A player who smelled like rotten water.
To be honest, I’m still nervous.
This isn’t sleeveless.
‘I should say thank you to Baekho next time we meet.’
I just went in because I missed Koreans, but I made a great relationship. Of course, I have no intention of remaining in a one-sided relationship.
Not only do I not want a relationship like that…
Lee Baek-ho is definitely not a Ho-goo at all.
‘A cancer relationship lasts long when you don’t cross the line when you laugh at each other.’
After thinking about it, I sat in front of the computer and did community activities.
Unlike last time, I sold small information to get GP, and in the spare time I went to bulletin boards or chat rooms to adapt to the atmosphere here.
As a result, the second community activity was over.
「The character moves to Lapdonia.」
Bjorn’s room, not Lee Han-su’s.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I checked my watch.
Time barely passed this time either.
‘……It would be the best if it wasn’t for being tired.’
Since I was awake for about 12 hours more than I normally sleep, the mental fatigue is considerable.
No, is this just because of living too much?
It’s the cause. Anyway, I’m glad I cleared my schedule for tomorrow—
“Bjorn! How long will you sleep!”
Nimiral.
I just closed my eyes for a moment and saw Misha.
It must have already been morning, and the windows were bright.
“Just a little more…….”
“Aww, just a little more, what a little more? They always tell me that I’m lazy. Did you stay up all night in the library this time too?”
“It’s not like that.”
Since Misha was sensitive to food, she got up and ate together, then stretched out on the bed again.
And how long had passed?
I can see the condensation on the glass.
“What the hell did you do yesterday to wake up when the sun goes down?” “I just
had a little sleep.”
“……You?”
It was the body of the barbarian that fell asleep as soon as he made up his mind to
sleep
. After the morning training, I met Dwalki for a while, and then I went back to my parents’ house.” ”
What? Wait a minute, you said you met Dwalki…?”
“Yes. He said he was worried, so he consulted me for a while.”
Misha said as if it was no big deal, but I, who knew Dwalki’s heart, couldn’t do that.
In [Dungeon and Stone], feuding with colleagues was a shortcut to bloodshed.
“So… what were you worried about?”
“Umm…… But it’s someone else’s concern…”
Uh-huh barbarians.
“Why are we alone?”
“Well… …. Well, if it’s you, Bjorn, you can tell me.”
Mischa secretly showed a sad expression, and Misha bluntly confided in other people’s concerns.
It turned out to be an ordinary dating consultation.
I have someone I like, but I’m worried about whether or not to reveal my feelings. ‘ I
never thought there would be someone who would do this for real……’
Even though he laughed, he asked to confirm.
“So what did you answer?”
“Huh? Didn’t I just tell you to confess like a man?”
“I see……”
It was a somewhat expected answer.
Isn’t it Misha who hadn’t been in a common relationship until she was 25? As you can see, he’s not interested in a relationship between a man and a woman—
“But that’s why…”
At that moment, Misha suddenly averted my gaze and blurted out her words. Her complexion
looks strangely red.
What is it? Is it because of the setting sun?
That’s it. While thinking, Misha
grabbed
my
hand .
I thought it didn’t fit, so I asked again, but Misha just nodded
. How can it not be? I will do well in the future. Huh?”
I even wondered
what the situation
was .
..?”
Misha bowed her head at my question.
“Yes……”
I felt a nervous tremble in my hand.
Also, did the sun go down before I knew it? Soon ,
Misha swallowed and added further explanation,
“Ooh, my father wants to meet you… so by the way… with me… Can I go with you…?”
Parents’ invitation.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t embarrassed, but…
I answered without hesitation.
“Okay.
” Really? Really? Wow! There’s nothing to complain about?”
“Okay, what time do I have to go tomorrow?”
It felt like something had finally come.
