Chapter 74
Episode 74 Ghostbusters (3)
He is sitting by the fountain and forgets his lunch box.
The menu is potato stew, bread and vegetable salad with beef.
Misha is sitting in the seat next to me.
“Bjorn, eat some of this.”
“Give me meat…?”
“I ate a lot while making it earlier.”
if so what
He chews and swallows the meat Misha gave him.
How often do you eat beef?
melts in your mouth
However, the unfortunate thing is that it is difficult to fully feel the taste because of the eyes flying from the side.
“You just said it was Bjorn, right?”
“Then the author must be a little Vulcan.”
“Hmm, I can’t find anything special about the outside…”
From time to time, people began to recognize me from time to time wherever I went.
Invitation to join a clan. Offer to recruit a team.
I’m sure it’s something like this…
“Hey, are you really a little Vulcan?”
There are some guys who come here for nothing and start a fight or bother me by asking me to talk about that time.
Can’t you see that people are eating?
Even though it was the last spoon.
“Wake up Misha.”
“huh?”
“Now that we’ve eaten, we’ll go soon.”
After hurriedly organizing our seats, we left the fountain.
I heard some muttering behind me, but I followed and didn’t cross the line.
Misha glanced behind her and murmured.
“Something strange. I thought people recognized me like this and that only really great people did that…”
What is it? Are you making a fuss?
Still, I know what you want to say.
It must be awkward when the people around you suddenly become famous.
‘It’s a small Balkan…….’
In the game, there was nothing to lose when the reputation level rose.
It was because I was able to receive a type of quest that I couldn’t receive, or a large request came in out of the blue.
Most of all, if your reputation level is low, you cannot enter the first sector of the ecliptic, Karnon, so the reputation level was essential for the game to progress.
But…
‘I don’t know if this worked.’
Where I am now is not just a simple game.
A world in which players are treated as evil spirits and put to the guillotine by the foot they discover.
If your name suddenly becomes known, it is certain that you will receive unwelcome attention.
But…
‘Because I had no choice but to live.’
To get something, you have to give up something.
He obtained the essence of an Orc hero, saved his life, and benefited from many other things.
So I’ll have to bear with this.
“Then, I guess I’m done with today’s work.”
After returning the equipment that had been entrusted with repairs, buying necessary items, and visiting the auction house to see if there were any items worth buying, the day began to fade.
‘I guess I’ll have to go back to the dorm and come up with a training plan.’
“I’m going back now, what are you going to do?”
In fact, it’s a word about going back slowly.
However, Misha suddenly blurted out her words.
“Oh that’s…”
What is it? It just makes people anxious.
When I looked at her with eyes that seemed to tell me to hurry up, Misha looked at me carefully and said carefully.
“…I was going to visit my family for a while.”
“droughty?”
“Yeah. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I’ll be there.”
“Right.”
Why do you say this while looking at people?
It’s there if you have a schedule.
Family matters are not my area to interfere.
It’s not that there’s nothing to worry about, but he’ll take care of it.
“cheer up.”
Still, I decided to give a word of support.
It’s because we know what kind of existence the family is to him.
Misha smiled.
“Well, it seems like I’m getting a little bit of strength……”
Really?
After all that, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my voice.
It sounds like you need to push your back.
In a barbarian way, of course.
puck-!
“Damn! You ignorant barbarian senile!”
What was Mischa screaming out of shock? Anyway.
“It’s much better.”
“Either way, I’ll definitely be back within two days, so until then, take care of yourself and eat well, okay?”
I answered with a smile.
“i get it.”
It is a change that occurred after returning to the city.
He said he would serve as a benefactor, did this mean?
For some reason, she acts like a mother these days.
***
Misha and I parted on the carriage platform.
With her family, I got into the carriage heading to District 8, where I was staying.
A body that sways every time it creaks.
There was nothing to do, so I closed my eyes and started thinking as if I was entrusting myself to the waves.
‘It would be better to stay with this team for the time being.’
As he ate the essence of the Orc Hero, his specs jumped at once.
In fact, even if you just fill out and submit the application form, you will not be promoted to a 6th grade explorer.
He even had a reputation as a small Vulcan, so maybe he could be promoted to 5th grade at once.
In other words, it is possible to find a better team if you want to.
‘It would be difficult to bring Misha along instead.’
Misha’s fighting power is no more nor less than that of a 7th-level explorer.
Of course, there is plenty of potential to go to a higher level.
Not only did I get the soul number this time, but [Enhancement], a conversion-type ability, was the decisive reason I decided to raise him as a colleague.
In that sense…….
‘The first task is to level up Misha.’
I have made the final judgment.
For a while, it would be more efficient to focus on Misha’s growth.
‘First of all, I’ll raise the level of the soul water contract and if possible, I’ll have to do the next exploration there. Because that integer might come out. Ah, if possible, I think it would be better to change the main weapon as well…’
As we were carefully organizing the training process for Misha, we arrived at our destination before we knew it.
‘I don’t know anything else, but if I change accommodation later, I’ll have to catch it near the platform.’
It is a kind of station area.
I don’t think the house price should be that expensive.
Turbuck.
After getting off the carriage, I skillfully found my way and headed for my inn.
Go straight and turn left at the candy store.
Then, when you see the statue of the Immortal King, take the right fork.
If you go about 5 minutes further, you will come to the central square……
“I will start the execution!”
Been quiet for a fucking few days.
I see a crowd gathered in the square, which is usually empty.
Everyone is looking at the guillotine with their heads high.
Slow-!
A sight that doesn’t even look that terrible now.
However, I have no desire to keep an eye on it.
Therefore, he let out an eerie sound in one ear and hurried his steps.
But even so, my unconscious has detected something strange based on the given visual information.
‘…Why are there so few people today?’
I’m not talking about the crowd gathered under the guillotine.
Death row inmates scheduled to be executed today.
Usually dozens of people are executed at once, but today there are only four.
‘For some reason, I don’t think I can see the guys waiting to eat blood in front of me today.’
At the same time the head sensed the question.
A muffled murmur, like a background sound, begins to be clearly heard.
“I was expecting it because it’s a demon, but it’s okay?”
“Oh, yes. It’s bloody fast.”
“Isn’t it disgusting? The fact that they imitate people as evil spirits.”
what a demon
Without realizing it, I stopped walking.
When I turned my head to check the guillotine, I saw death row inmates waiting for their turn, trembling.
There were only three left.
“I’m not me! I mean no!”
“What? Without putting the gag back on.”
A young fairy woman.
A dwarf male who appears to be the same age as the dwarf.
And—
“Eup!!”
A barbarian with a somewhat familiar face.
Slow-!
The fairy’s head rolls down and is put into a barrel, and the dwarf, who is next in line, kneels at the execution site.
But my eyes were fixed on one spot.
‘Tarikan, the son of Lyen.’
yeah that was the name.
The name of that barbarian trembling with fearful eyes over there.
‘I was nervous when I saw what he was doing, but…’
An awkward barbarian tone.
timid personality.
The weak mindset of wanting to lean on someone.
Maybe it’s because there are so many guesses, I don’t even know what I did wrong to reveal my identity.
But somehow I felt that way.
‘Looks like you didn’t buy a weapon with the money I gave you.’
There is no basis.
That’s right, the weapon must have been taken before being put on the execution ground. But for some reason, I keep thinking that he might not have entered the labyrinth this time too.
‘Why the hell?’
The moment I was seriously contemplating what could be the source of my groundless intuition.
“Eup!!”
He, who had been quietly trembling, suddenly began to struggle.
Also, the gagged mouth moves constantly as if to say something, and the wide-eyed eyes face the direction where I am.
I guess it’s not a coincidence.
“Eup! Eup!!”
Could it be that you recognized me from afar?
Well, I’m the only barbarian among them, so I must have noticed it from afar.
“What! Come on, without kneeling?”
Soon, subdued by the people, he thrust his neck under the blade of the guillotine.
In the meantime, he wanted to say something.
Looking at me, who was mingled in the crowd, with a pinpoint.
“Eup ugh!!”
I couldn’t tell.
What does that crushing clamor mean?
Are you asking for help?
Well, I think the eyes are too fierce for that.
“Ugh!!”
My heart was heavy at the sight of not being able to leave even a will, while a slight sense of relief bloomed.
‘At that time, it was good to cut the distance.’
If it hadn’t been for 150,000 stones.
If we changed our judgment and revealed that we were in the same situation and relied on each other—
“Yandel’s Ah—!!”
I could have been there with you.
Slow-!
At the end, the gag broke and he shouted something, but the cold blade fell and crushed his voice.
I immediately turned my back and headed the way I had come.
Even so, a lesson was engraved in my heart.
‘I guess I won’t do anything like that from next time.’
You should be more careful.
It’s not just raiders and explorers that threaten my life in this fucking world.
Who really sympathizes with whom?
He should be self-respecting for his pointless obscenity, and should act alertly from now on—
“Isn’t that Bjorn, son of Yandel?”
Someone calls my name from behind.
I turned around and saw a neatly dressed man looking at me.
“Stop bothering me and go away.”
There have been a lot of strangers talking to me lately, so I roughly ignored it and moved on.
But…
“Don’t be too wary. I’m in a similar situation.”
The nuance of what he said is very strange.
I stopped walking casually and turned around to look at the man.
“America? taiwan? europe? Where did you come from?”
What the fuck is this again?
***
After gaining fame, I thought about it.
Maybe something like this could happen.
But…
‘I didn’t expect it to be this fast.’
My head goes cold like ice.
Of course, my actions have already been decided. Whether
this guy is a real player or pretending to be a player…
“Nothing will change anyway. Let’s do what we prepared.”
Didn’t you know that there are other evil spirits besides me from the first day you woke up in this body?
In the past day, I already asked myself once,
‘Is it necessary to risk interacting with them?’
The conclusion I came to at that time was simple:
Absolutely not worth it.
So what would you do with a player?
Share information?
I could do it to some extent, but…
In the end, the feeling of not being alone in this strange world would be all there is to it. .It
‘s stupid to take such a risk just to be comfortable with it.
That
‘s why…….
In the world, there is a word called a poker face.
There are times when they use it to engage in psychological warfare, but in the end, it basically means an expressionless face.
As much as that, the face is the part of the body where a person’s psychology is best revealed.
But I have judged.
What I need to do now is expressionless. No.
As soon as he finished asking the question, I replied,
”
What
do you mean?”
Was it a reaction?’
As the time we spent together was quite long, the answer came easily.
“Stop saying difficult things and speak plainly.”
Yes, that’s it.
Barbarians don’t know a lot.
And they’re not ashamed of what they don’t know.
Also, if the stranger is a human… ..
I show a bit of wariness and aggression.
Therefore—
turmoil.
I step forward with a slightly menacing look.
Also, if I say one wrong thing, I snort as if I’ll break my head.
But despite my actions, the man only let out a strange exclamation.
“I was fooled. You’re really good at acting. Wasn’t it three months?”
“Postponing? You shouldn’t have said difficult things?”
“Oh, there’s no need to be vigilant. I am from America. I didn’t even touch that damn game.”
A voice dripping with remorse and sadness.
And even information about the contents that you would never know unless you were a player.
This convinced me to a certain extent.
“Anyway, you’re amazing. He got his tinnitus in 3 months, and it took me over 3 years. It must be a human being caught…”
This is not a young player.
