Chapter 462
474. Why come out here 1
Laek Gerlhi is the most avoided area among the four contaminated areas.
First of all, the ability to enter the contaminated area is basic.
In addition, to lower the probability of light emission as much as possible, you must take a potion that makes your mind drowsy.
Of course, if you fight with your mind blank, you will not be able to show off your skills, and your physical abilities will drop and you will get tired quickly.
“You still have to go into a tight spot with all your strength?”
“So Raek Gerlhi has to hit it with a single hit and get out.”
Crucially, when you go to Laek Gerlhi, you don’t form a team.
“why?”
“Even if you go crazy, you can come back to life after some time. Under the assumption that even if you meet a monster in that state, you can beat it.”
“If you can’t defeat it, you’ll die…”
“Sounds natural.”
In other words, if you are alone, it will end in a seizure, but when you are together, if someone goes crazy, your anger will spread in an instant, and the party will be annihilated while fighting among themselves.
“That’s why solo play became the basis.”
In summary, the worst difficulty is that you have to have the skills to travel around the contaminated area with Sollo without a companion in a weaker state than usual, and even have to fight with your judgment blurred to lower the probability of light emission.
In the end, only a handful of top-class dimension movers can turn around Raek Gerlhi.
“Wow… I’m never going.”
“I don’t think Kim Ho-jeong will have any problems with the black beast.”
“why?”
“Anyway, originally, I was thinking of going alone.”
Anyway, Raek Gerlhi is a polluted area where going as a solo is the basics.
“But you got [Lobotomy] this time. If we smash our party’s ‘rage’ with this, we can negate the glow.”
As a result of testing with Kim Ho-jung, even if you receive additional damage in the beginning, the emotion itself disappears over time, so if you break your anger in advance, you will be able to walk around Raek Gerlhi very calmly.
“I’m glad I was helpful.”
“It wasn’t really my intention.”
“I thought that was a very scary skill, but it turned out to be a guy that could be put to good use.”
“My [Lobotomy] is a very ‘humane’ and ‘kind’ skill compared to the original surgery that became the motif.”
Because it doesn’t dig into the brain, and it doesn’t make people crippled by smashing only two emotions.
“Ah, but other people are saying that they are going around the Eastern Contaminated Zone without [Lobotomy] or something like that?”
“of course.”
“No, is that possible? It almost sounds like drinking and running through a dungeon.”
“Alec might be able to. You are already back.”
“It’s an exaggerated statement…but I’m sure Cheolhyun doesn’t get angry very much.”
“Instead, I’m the one who makes others angry, so I should go alone.”
In addition, Alec’s main area of activity was in the east, so Raek Gerlhi would have visited often.
“Even if it’s not Alec… If you’re a top-notch dimension mover, you’ll be able to turn Raek Gerlhi. It won’t be easy, though.”
“It’s really like another world.”
“Representatively, ‘Shin Yoo-jun’ or something.”
When Kang Seung-hyun mentioned the name, Kim Ho-jeong nodded in surprise.
“Well, maybe the reason why Mr. Alec moved to West Hind Village was because he found Shin Yu-jun in Laek Gerlhi.”
If you think about it well, even if Alec is playing detective, there is no reason to settle down in the West Hind Village.
This is because even in the eastern part of the country, there are many small villages of Hind level.
“You came to Hind Village because of Yujun?”
“But isn’t it? Not anyone else, but a black magician or a blood mage.”
The fact that a guy who knew better than anyone that it would be difficult to get treatment if he left the East Coast moved to the West means he had a reason to come as far away from the East as possible.
“I never thought of that.”
“I was just guessing.”
Alec and Shin Yu-jun are talented people who can travel around the contaminated area.
However, Alec is a person who moved from the East to the West, and the area where Alec and Kim Ho-Jung reunited with Shin Yu-Jun was the ‘East’, so I just came up with such a hypothesis.
“Somehow, Cheolhyeon has a deep connection with Dongbu.”
“It must be bad luck.”
“Ahaha… Bad luck is also fate.”
Kim Ho-jeong laughed it off, but it seems that black magicians are destined to never escape from the east.
“Ah, that’s what I thought of when I heard that…”
“What is it?”
“Why did Yujun go to the East?”
Kim Ho-jeong muttered while rubbing her chin.
“When I had a party, the purpose was to go to Habasta in the east because of Cheolhyun, but… if Cheolhyun wasn’t there, there was no reason to stay in the east.”
“It is, too.”
Rather, due to the nature of Shin Yu-jun’s job, it would be more appropriate to go to the west and south, where materials such as wool and silkworm flax are easier to obtain.
However, he chose the East as his main activity site.
“If you had just stopped by while passing by, Mr. Alec would have just taken a nap and wouldn’t have packed up and come to Hind Village.”
“Isn’t it because I like the eastern atmosphere…?”
“of course.”
Perhaps the base of Shin Yu-jun and his gang ‘Moirai’ is in the east.
“If that’s the case, it’s probable that Mr. Alec abandoned the comfortable East and ran away.”
“Because Cheolhyun doesn’t like Yoo Jun…”
If that is true, the eastern part of the Azul Continent is a demonic cave where the worst contaminated area of the Azul Continent, ‘Raek Gerlhi’, is followed by the apostle raider group ‘Moirai’ led by Psycho Shin Yu-jun.
“It would be better to ask Alec directly about this.”
“I think that would be good too.”
“I don’t know if you will tell me.”
-“Oh, I’m curious because I remembered it again. If you use that ‘mind reassembly’ earlier…”
“It must be [mind reassembly].”
“Oh sorry. [Mind reassembly].”
Kim Ho-jeong scratched her head and continued talking.
“Can you use it to treat people with no feelings?”
“no.”
[Reassembly of the mind] only returns emotions, but does not create emotions that did not exist in the first place.
“For comparison, [Lobotomy] is about dissolving emotions like puzzle pieces, and [Mind Reassembly] is about putting the scattered pieces back together.”
What is the meaning of the process of putting a puzzle together for someone who doesn’t have a puzzle in the first place?
“Conversely, if you don’t have emotions, [Lobotomy] won’t work either.”
“I guess so.”
“Then are psychopaths invincible?”
“Psychopaths are usually those who lack empathy towards others, so they usually have some level of ‘anger’ due to harm or threats inflicted on them.”
So you should be able to feed [Lobotomy] at least once.
“Although it won’t work for things like dolls that have no ego at all.”
“I see…”
“Shall we leave the small talk at this point and go back soon?”
Seunghyun Kang glanced at the corner of the alley.
“It’s okay to keep talking here.”
Of course, the assailants (what were) made of meat paste were left there.
“Ah, come to think of it, that’s a corpse! Dumping without permission?”
“Then I’ll tell Ji-ah Lee to clean it up later.”
“That’s too much for Jia…”
Whoops!
Kim Ho-jung, who was about to turn around the corner of the alley, suddenly turned backwards as if bumped into something.
“Ouch….”
“Sorry! Are you all right?”
Then, with a loud voice, someone in front of him reached out his hand and helped Kim Ho-jung, who had collapsed, stand up.
It seems that Kim Ho-jeong fell face down after colliding with that man.
“I’m okay. Thank you for raising me up.”
“I had something to do, so I ran to you so I couldn’t see! I’ll be careful next time!”
“No, no, if something urgent happens, I can’t help it!”
The man who heard that suddenly stared at Kim Ho-jung.
“Oh, aren’t you Ho-jung hyung?”
“huh?”
“Don’t you know me?”
Holding Kim Ho-jung’s hand, he shook it happily and shouted.
“Oh wait. That voice and way of talking!”
“yes yes!”
“you you! Jaehyung Kim, right?”
“Oh, I knew it would be like this! I don’t know why everyone is always wrong one letter at a time!”
The man shouted with a sad face.
“It’s Kim Se-hyung! All but one letter!”
“what a waste!”
He smiled brightly and announced his name.
“how have you been?”
“Hey, you’ve always been great! How about Ho-jung?”
“I was fine too. What’s up with Hind Village? Are you here to eat?”
“I’m here to meet someone named GGG!”
“to.”
“Have you seen anyone else around here?”
The moment those words came out of Kim Se-hyung’s mouth. Kim Ho-jung sweated profusely and sent a signal to the man behind her.
‘Hey, Mr. Kang? What about this?’
This is because Kang Seung-hyeon was hiding at an angle where Kim Se-hyung could not be seen and was eavesdropping on their conversation.
-※[Seong Ha-min was the first to achieve the ‘End of the Fog Maze’ achievement.]※ –
[GGG This is a dog psycho bastard Sword Master Baek Seon-ho]
“What else is this?”
“well.”
Meanwhile, Lee Ji-ah (alter ego) and Min Su-yeon, who were shopping around the village, looked at the commemorative message with dumbfounded faces.
“That ‘Yamae’ fishing?”
“I think message aggro is a bit weak.”
“That’s right. That guy was more… the kind that basically pisses people off…”
The two of them looked around while having this conversation.
“But why did you come to the clothing store?”
The place where the two are currently located is a clothing store street in Hind Village, which was created when dimension movers flocked to it.
“Actually, I want to buy pretty and precious handmade custom-made clothes from dimension mover tailors, but as you know, I can’t use the inventory. So I went shopping with my sister alone.”
“You want to use it as a shopping cart?”
“yes.”
“I’m too honest, I have nothing to say.”
“Instead, unnie, if you like something, pick one. I will buy it for you.”
With those words, Lee Ji-ah started stopping here and there to buy clothes and accessories.
“uh? That store must be popular.”
“I know. There are so many people.”
“I have to go.”
Then, the two found a store with a lot of toxic customers.
‘Wow…. It deserves a lot of customers.’
It was a store that sold all kinds of textile crafts that could be made using silk, from small handkerchiefs to decorative tapestries hanging on the walls of duvets to fancy dresses and K-traditional hanbok.
‘Even if I don’t have money, I’ll go see something like this.’
That’s also because the shopkeeper’s skill was so good that it felt like a piece of art that you couldn’t take your eyes off of.
‘But the owner here.’
If there’s just one thing that stands out.
‘Looks like he really likes butterflies.’
All products in the store were embroidered with butterfly patterns.
