Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 109

Pub Moscow.

“In the past few days, a number of players have been murdered with firearms, and all of them committed suicide by taking poison immediately after committing the crime.”

Earlier, while high-ranking players from the association

were busy preparing cheese buldak in the kitchen, Master Park handed out some documents.

“At least one of our kids managed to survive and was captured alive, and they all talked the same nonsense, including the last conversation with those who died without being able to capture them alive.”

Master Park continued, saying he was dumbfounded.

“He said he served as a sniper in the 077 Special Forces and asked if he had seen the player on the battlefield. Even the repertoire was all the same without a single difference. What did they say? One player annihilates the unit...

“How can I destroy an armored vehicle with just one body and get caught in a hail of bullets?”

“Yeah, that one. Then he said the player was a monster. “Now that I think about it, you saw each other on the same day.”

“Wow, I ended up shooting a mystery and a horror film. “What on earth did the player do in the 077 Special Lease Unit that everyone there is foaming at the mouth and trying to kill the player?”

“077 Special Mission Battalion? No way.”

Master Park said in bewilderment.

“None of those killed had a record of serving in the 077 Special Forces. Because it was a no-brainer for the special department and even had an unfilled record. He was just an ordinary person. “An ordinary person with no sin.”

“There was no contact whatsoever between the parties involved in the crime, and they were leading normal lives until the day of the crime. I was just walking down the street and suddenly I guess I did something wrong and suddenly took a turn. And in the blink of an eye, I had a gun in my hand and had put a capsule-type poison in my mouth. Then find the player and leave it alone.”

“You grabbed a firearm in the blink of an eye?”

Yoosung remained quietly silent. Because there is no way you don’t know what those words mean.

The actions of those who claimed to be ordinary people were by no means the actions of ordinary people. Because it was also the work of a monster.

“okay. “Someone was sleeping somewhere, and a gun that wasn’t there suddenly appeared in one frame with a camera.”

“Anyway, they said they captured one alive. “Did you get any information?”

“No, like I said, my memories of the time of the crime have been completely erased. “I’m crying and crying because I really don’t know anything.”

“Do you believe that?”

“Do you think an average person can trick a player? “Even if I tried to use my skills to obtain information, there was really nothing to gain.”

Needless to say, it was probably a mental manipulation or brainwashing type of skill. That's why I could trust it.

“No, then why did you take poison in the first place?”

“That’s right. “I guess they wanted to be more clear

.”

Before he knew it, the cheese buldak had arrived according to Yoosung's extremely picky order, and as soon as he tasted it, he said it didn't taste the way he was used to and ordered a repeat.

“Hmm, it’s time for Detective Hero King’s reasoning to shine sharply.”

“Oh my gosh, this bastard is a plague again.”

“Let’s see what high-ranking players are capable of such large-scale brainwashing and manipulation activities... Hmm, there is Mistress, Miss Tris, and Mistress. Oh right. Unbelievable! There was also Miss Tris!”

That was right then.

“Oh, it’s truly unfair.”

A voice came without even a trace. Mistress smiled as she sat down at the bar table next to Yoosung and Master Park. Wearing an extravagant frilled dress that would fit the era of absolute monarchy, and a Western-style fan fluttering around.

“Stop bragging about that portal. “Why did you get so startled that the knife flew away?”

“Thank you for your concern. “But I am really innocent.”

Master Park twirled the hilt of his memorized ‘Heart Breaker' sword and spat out menacingly.

They show off the influence of their organization CIPO by intentionally appearing through the portal. It was a bravado that was nothing new.

“Rather, I came here to cooperate to help resolve this situation.”

“Oh, is that so? Then just spit out the information and leave.”

Master Park asked sharply, and Miss Tris answered.

“A member of the 077 Special Lease Team who hates players so much.”

“Hehe, who are you fucking with now? I also have some information. The person with both limbs intact is the real culprit of this. FYI, I breathe and eat too! “Do you think my information was helpful?”

“Oh, I’m so sorry. “Unfortunately, our CIPO has decided that his limbs are not in good condition.”

Yoosung shrugged his shoulders at Mistress’s words.

“And the government of this country will not be very happy about his identity being revealed. But I really want to know the truth...”

That was right then.

Sreung.

At the same time as those words were spoken, the dark frost blade was aimed at Mistress's neck.

Yoosung, sitting at the bar table, was an intangible assassin who controlled the sword without even lifting a finger.

“Please pay me for the night, old lady.”

!”

At the same time, Mistress's expression distorted after hearing those words.

“And please don’t act like you have a monopoly on the world’s secrets. Are you the only one who knows the world's spectacular secret? I know. But do I go around the neighborhood bragging that I know some of the secrets of the tower, like you do, and carry a baton over my shoulder? “I guess he just thinks he’s the best and doesn’t know what to do?”

“I’m not sure if I understand. Oh, what did you understand? If I can't summarize it in 3 lines or less, that day will be your and CIPO's memorial day. Oh, and the same applies even if the information isn’t very helpful.”

Yoosung let out a cold sigh, and Mistress's expression turned cold.

“Threatening like that...”

“You’re using the Home 1 line very usefully.”

Mistress stopped talking at Yooseong’s sarcasm. There was a brief silence, and at the end of the silence, he opened his mouth.

“Colonel Baek Gyeong-oh.”

.......

As soon as I heard that name, Master Park fell silent.

“Colonel Baek... No, Lieutenant General Baek Gyeong-oh?”

“Yes, he is a proud hero of this country. “After his death, he was promoted to a whopping three ranks.”

First season 《The End of Peace》.

When the world became a game, he was a hero of this country who was said to have led the 077 Special Lease Team and minimized damage to the capital, Seoul, from monsters.

And when an unprecedentedly large-scale gate occurred in downtown Seoul at the time, before the monster came out, he personally led the 077 special team of about 100 people and attempted to rush through the gate.

When Colonel Baek rushed in with the special team, the gate closed miraculously and the monsters did not appear. In a sense, it could be said that a large-scale gate was closed without harm because they presented themselves as living sacrifices.

But at the same time, it was the final act of the hero and his unit.

“We have no way of knowing what they saw beyond the gate, how they survived, and what they fought. However, from what we understand, Colonel Baek and his unit did not die, but were taken over by one of the tower's forces. From the outside world’s perspective, just a few days ago.”

“The forces of the tower took over the special lease of 077?”

“《Slayer》.”

As soon as he heard that name, Master Park let out a low curse.

Slayer.

As its name suggests, it is an organization of people who hunt ‘unusual beings' that threaten the human world, such as vampires, witches and werewolves.

“And Colonel Baek and his unit also began to move in accordance with the Slayer doctrine to eliminate the ‘wolves hiding among the flock’ from their homeland... this very world. And that’s it:

“This is what it means to be a player.”

“We are not hostile to all players. You all have contact with the Slayer, so you know. As you know, the players being killed are narrowed down to a more specific level.”

“Minnows.”

Those who feel neither the duty nor the need to save the world, but at the same time wish to enjoy the power of the player.

I finally understood. In the eyes of the 077 Special Forces, who are now Slayers, the majority of players are nothing more than ‘prey’ that must be eliminated for the sake of peace and order in this society.

“The Slayers took Colonel Baek and his special team, and after an eon of fighting beyond the gate, they finally returned to their hometown. “That is the information we have.”

“Where did you get that information?”

“My monarch told me.”

“Hmm, I guess you trust what the Lord of Lies says.”

“The Lord of Lies always tells lies. “Is there anything that can be truly trusted like the words of a liar who always tells lies?”

“Oh my gosh, this lady is starting again.”

Mistress giggled happily again and Yoosung stood up without saying a word.

“Anyway, the 077 Special Forces that disappeared beyond the gate have become ‘Slayers’ and are wiping out the minnow players?”

“As you know, according to the rules of the game, the Tower’s forces cannot directly intervene in the outside world.”

After hearing those words, Yoosung thought.

Colonel Baek and the 077 Special Forces disappeared beyond the gate immediately after the first season. In other words, they could not have experienced a battle with the player in the outside world.

But they said they asked if they had seen the player on the battlefield. And he told endless stories about ordinary people fighting against players on the battlefield.

So, on what battlefield did those units that disappeared during the first season fight against the player?

After thinking about it until that point, I thought about the sound of shooting stars.

“He belongs to the tower's forces, but he is both a human and not a player...

“And this information is the key to entering the tower to resolve the situation.”

Tiring!

At the end of her words, a message came to mind.

[Tier 11 Hard Slayer's hideout is calling players!]

[Special note: You can go out into the outside world while conquering the tower!]

[Would you like to enter the tower? [Y/N]

Yooseong took a deep breath after seeing that message. At the time of Season 5 of Tier 11 Hard, there was a tier tower there that could only be entered as it was nearing the end of the year.

At this time, when spring is just turning into summer.

Additionally, you can go out into the outside world while attacking the tower. In this case, it usually has two meanings.

If it takes too long to attack the Hana Tower, maintenance will be needed several times.

If there is a ‘mission’ to be performed in the outside world in order to conquer the Two Towers.

Considering the current situation, it is probably the latter.

“Uncle, please stay and take care of the situation. From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like the fight in the tower will be the end.”

That's why Yooseong stood up without hesitation. No matter how trustworthy he is, he won't be of much help at the top of this tier.

Knowing that fact, Master Park silently nodded. At the same time, Miss Trees opened her mouth.

“I hope I can be of help

.”

“Oh, you won’t deny my contribution in providing the information, right?”

With those words, two more silhouettes appeared through the portal. He is a CIPO player who always assists Miss Tris.

11 Tier Hard However, like Yoosung, Mistress is also a player who claims to be a ‘hero’. At least, unlike Master Park, there was no doubt that she would be helpful.

Even if trusting her is a separate matter.

“I will enter the tower.”

That's why Yooseong opened his mouth and the world was engulfed in darkness.

“I will warn you. “Get out of our hideout, players.”]

[Neutral forces: The Slayer is warning you.]

[Warning: The influence of the Slayer will be maximized within the tower!]

One after another, messages appeared and the surrounding wind The scene has changed.

It was a battlefield.

After glancing around at the surrounding scenery, Yoosung walked away without saying a word.

The asphalt in the area was shattered and the remains of buildings collapsed by bombing were strewn about.

A world in ruins and ashes.

And there were silhouettes facing them. I could feel guns aimed at them from various places, including the rooftops of structures that were still in shape using the rubble of the city as cover.

“You broke the warning.”

These slayers were wearing black hunting hats and leather coats.
