Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 388
388angry wild horses (2)
A community of evil spirits that opens at midnight on the 15th of every month..
Time flows differently inside Ghostbusters than outside..
‘1 hour here is 1 second outside.’
To put it simply, even if you use up all 12 hours that the community is maintained, only 12 seconds have passed on the outside..
but…….
‘I won't wait that long.’
The marquis' intentions are clear..
He has an unconfirmed question for me, and he will try to confirm it with me tonight..
There is only one problem here.
how much time do i have.
First of all, the free time I hoped for was 4 seconds..
If you do that, you will have time to participate and leave the round table that will be held in 3 hours..
Suspicions due to the investigator's absence can be prevented, and there is no loss of information that would arise from taking a break from the round table..
Damn it.
‘As expected, 4 seconds is too close..’
I suppressed the creeping greed..
Yes, let's give up neatly what we have to give up as planned..
Click, click.
The computer boots up as soon as the decision is made..
I quickly used the mouse to check the chat room..
[Long Live Korean Independence] - 1 person is online.
Without wasting any time, I immediately entered the chat room..
[HS123]
First of all, the player who was online was Hyeonbyeol..
I wondered if GM had released Baekho Lee's van as I requested and he might have come..
Well, there's still time for this..
“You're here?”
Hyeonbyeol, who was sitting on the sofa, raised her head and stared at me with her legs crossed..
White blouse and formal skirt.
The outfit is still the same this time too..
“What is that way of talking? As if I couldn't have come.”
As I sat down on the sofa across from him and naturally spoke to him, Tiki Taka, which reminded me of the old days, followed..
“I thought that my brother might be able to do that. You usually run away whenever something inconvenient happens.?”
What can I say, running away?.
“Unless it's something that absolutely needs to be solved, there's no more wasted energy that way..”
The national rule is to skip events where the rewards are high compared to the level of difficulty..
Pursuing efficiency means reducing waste..
Like right now.
“Hyeonbyeol-ah.”
There was no time to waste on trivial chit-chat, so I got straight to the point..
“Did you meet GM last time??”
This was the real reason why I entered the chat room instead of leaving right away, even though it was not time to participate in the round table..
That's because I was trying to check this from this point of view..
Hyeonbyeol, who had slightly furrowed her eyebrows at my question, opened her small lips..
“……How did you know?”
Words of affirmation, not negativity.
I calmly explained the basis for my suspicions.
“It's strange that a message came while we were talking. I did a little research.”
The first time I felt uncomfortable was after I broke up with Hyeonbyeol..
As I returned to my room and was fiddling with the mouse, I remembered the GM who was very interested in this chat room..
As a GM, you can check who is in the chat room even if you cannot eavesdrop on the contents of the chat room..
Suspicious that it was the GM who sent the message to Hyeonbyeol, I searched a chat room and kept an eye on the number of people..
And soon I was able to confirm.
“The number of people in the secret chat room that the GM often uses quickly increased to three. I thought it was you because the timing was odd..”
“…Then why didn't you call me back then and wait until today??”
“Because GM might spy on the message..”
“Then you can just ask them to come to the chat room..”
“That alone might make you think it's strange..”
“……it's annoying.”
Hyeonbyeol glanced at me and sighed..
“I'm telling you in advance that you might misunderstand, but I had no intention of deceiving you..”
“know.”
“I was going to tell you today. Of course, it might be hard for you to believe it... … . yes? what did you just say?”
“I know. I didn't intend to deceive you.”
Hyeonbyeol’s expression became strange at my words..
“It's good to say that, but... On what basis??”
The basis is simple.
“If you were planning on hiding it, you wouldn't have answered my question so easily..”
Due to his personality, he probably hid it more thoroughly..
Even though he thought he might have been caught, he probably denied it until the end just in case..
“But, maybe I was acting.?”
“If you get there, there are no limits. If you still don't understand, just think that I wanted to believe you..”
When I laughed and said jokingly, Hyeonbyeol kept her mouth shut..
And he looked at me for a while…….
“……Oppa, I found a girl here.?”
I asked such an unexpected question..
As soon as I heard it, Missha came to mind, but I decided to check the reason first..
“But why is that suddenly……?”
When I asked, Hyeonbyeol trailed off in a slightly strange voice..
“Just. I thought my speaking skills had improved.…….”
Is this a compliment or a criticism?.
I decided to consider it the former and changed the topic..
Not only was it not a topic I wanted to continue for a long time, but I also didn't have the time to do so..
“But Hyeonbyeol, I don’t have time.?”
“That's the efficient avoidance you mentioned earlier.?”
“That's not it, it's because I really don't have any. I'm just going to check what I need to check, so please answer only that..”
“all right. What is it?”
“What did GM offer you??”
“They said they would give you GP or whatever so you could become a spy.?”
“It was like that too.”
“What did your brother do that someone like that would be so obsessed with? That person’s nickname was strange too.…….”
“Somehow it happened. I didn't do anything.”
I just vaguely explained it, and Hyeonbyeol didn't inquire too deeply..
“……Anyway, so what does he want me to do??”
“If you tell me, I will do it?”
“What you said, I never did.?”
uh… A lot?
No, but most of the important stuff was done with a grunt.?
Okay, let's just talk about it first..
“Please share the information you want to share there..”
“great. Then there is something this time too.?”
“Next time I leave the chat room, I'll log out right away, and the GM will probably wonder why. Then tell them that I can't have a long conversation because I'm in the middle of a battle, and that I left in a hurry, promising the next time..”
“great. But let me ask you one question..”
“What?”
“Why are you really logging out??”
“that? Similar to what I told GM..”
“That means… Are you really saying you came here after a fight? The labyrinth hasn't even opened yet.?”
“I told you, it's similar..”
You can't say that fighting is just about hitting and hitting with your body.?
Anyway, that should be enough of an answer..
“Then I'm leaving! See you again!”
I left the chat room without Hyeonbyeol saying anything..
***
A quiet study with furniture designed and filled by her..
“If it's all over, I'll just leave.…….”
“Yes, we will put in the promised GP right away..”
“Yes, then…….”
The GM quietly muttered as the Asian woman, who gave off an intellectual vibe but was somewhat clumsy, left the room..
“Because the man is in battle... … . This feels really weird. If that guy is someone you need to save even a second for, it means he is an enemy of a similar level..”
GM's voice was full of disappointment. However, there was no way that Soul Queens, who had been with him for a long time, did not know the reason for his feelings..
Actually, she felt the same way..
Nickname HS123.
A Korean woman who said that if you are uncomfortable calling her, just call her ‘Black Star’.
They didn't know until she told them.
literally nothing.
I was always confident in my intelligence, but I didn't even feel the signs until such a big name collided in the dark..
“…Still, I'm glad we were able to recruit Black Star. If there was a collision that caused the man to struggle, traces would definitely be left behind. For now, let's focus on finding that trace..”
While nodding their heads at the GM's words, the Soul Queens did not hesitate to raise one question..
“But there are also strange parts. If the situation was really that urgent, there was no reason to go into the chat room.?”
“But isn't that the guy? He said his expression didn't look that urgent. I might have had that much confidence..”
“That too… That's right.”
It's really strange, but the Soul Queens may have really done that..
No, I definitely thought so..
Because I couldn’t imagine the impatient look on the investigator’s face..
He was like a giant.
Because I have absolute faith in myself, I always take a leisurely pace, but still leave a big mark..
“Rather… Soul Queens, don’t you need to prepare quickly??”
“Ready??”
“Isn't it soon time to enter the round table?.”
“But the investigator won't come anyway..”
“Still, isn't there some pretty useful information covered there? Above all, there is a corpse collector who is connected to Noark. Come and see it sometime. Maybe we can get some information about a conflict that is happening somewhere right now..”
“When you say that... all right.”
The Soul Queens responded to the GM's instructions without a word and left the chat room. And as soon as it was time to enter, I entered ‘Watchers of the Round Table’..
“You came early.?”
“yes. I have time left.”
It was the fox mask that arrived before her..
As we briefly exchanged greetings, members entered one by one..
Goblin, Crescent Moon.
and…….
“Fishit, why can't I see that deer antler guy today??”
Even the clown.
A total of five people gathered at the round table, and this continued until the door was slammed shut, signaling the end of admission..
“It doesn't matter whether or not he gave a guest speech somewhere, but this is a bit troublesome. I can’t believe Mr. Susa didn’t come..”
A clown who stands up without any regrets.
And yet he didn't stop grunting..
“Really, isn't that why you didn't come because you always bring the same thing? Ugh, to think that these things will strain my neck outside.…….”
The clown, who was heading towards the door while muttering, looked at the Soul Queens with his tail blurred..
“huh? Isn’t the Queen going??”
“yes. This time I'm just going to attend..”
“If I were to fall out, only those idiots would be left behind.?”
The Soul Queens laughed loudly, covering their mouths at the clown's arrogant words..
“Oh my, what a funny thing to say. Actually, there's nothing special about being a clown.?”
“Do you want to say I'm on the same level as them??”
“Hmm, it seems similar to some extent, seeing as I believe the investigator couldn't come because he wasn't satisfied with our information.?”
“……It's as if he knows why Mr. Susa didn't come..”
“well. I can't tell you this with my bare mouth. Oh, okay, if you're really curious, let's just take a spin.?”
“……Fish sit, bravado. I almost got fooled. There's no way you know about Mr. Suja, right?.”
“Are you really sure? Then you can just leave..”
Even though she spoke tauntingly, the clown's feet did not move..
It was somewhat expected.
Because the clown's blind interest in the investigator was not something that happened yesterday or today..
Tuk.
Before I knew it, the clown had turned towards the door, sat down, and muttered as if making an excuse..
“……Well, it wouldn't be a bad idea to wait and see how absurd things he says and then leave. Fishit.”
It was a rude tone, but it was still as she intended. It is true that high-quality information comes only if there is a clown..
“…….”
“…….”
When even the clown sat down like that, all eyes naturally gathered..
Looking at those eyes full of anticipation and curiosity, she raised the corner of her mouth beneath her mask..
I had no intention of taking the first turn, but there seemed to be no reason to avoid it..
“Pisit, why are you sitting still when the game is over? Well, what do you think I couldn't figure out either?—”
She muttered briefly, interrupting the clown..
“The investigator is currently fighting with someone..”
As soon as he finished speaking, the clown couldn't even get angry at the interruption and shifted his gaze to one place..
The very place where the jewel that hides the truth lies.
Not only the clown but all the members were staring at that place with bright eyes..
and…….
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Soon, light flowed from the jewel..
“Wow, the light is green..”
After the goblin broke the silence, there was a lot of commotion..
“Queen, you have discovered the identity of the lion.?”
Crescent Moon was so excited that he kicked the table and stood up, and the fox mask also muttered softly..
“It's not the queen. I guess GM figured it out..”
“Well, more than that... Mr. Sousa can't participate in the rally because he's fighting. Who on earth is that opponent?…….”
Soon, the goblin also seemed to sense that something unusual was going on, and he lost his voice..
and…….
“…….”
The clown said nothing..
“The clown suddenly became quiet.—”
“how…….”
“……?”
“How could you find out... … ? Could it be that he told you? But then why? To you first, not to me?”
The clown's words, which had been leisurely just a moment ago, were full of excitement, and his eyes, revealed through the cracks in his mask, were staring straight at her..
Eyes of more passionate interest than ever before.
“Hmm, I don’t know. Why?.”
She raised the corner of her mouth without realizing it..
“If you tell me a funny story, maybe you can tell me why?”
I felt like I was addicted.
***
「The character moves to Lapdonia.」
***
Approximately 20 minutes from Ghostbusters.
When converted to real time, it is about 0.3 seconds..
That time is too short for something to happen in an empty room..
However, after finishing the conversation with Hyeonbyeol, I pressed the logout button without hesitation..
Well, didn’t we decide not to go to the round table anyway?.
If I had stayed, I would have just looked around the bulletin board and giggled, but I decided that it would be better to come out a little early and prepare for the situation..
but…….
‘It's quiet.’
When I open my eyes, all I see is darkness, unchanged from before..
No sound can be heard, and the window frame is also tightly closed.—
Clap.
At that time, the locked door was opened..
and at that moment.
Sigh.
Even with my eyes closed, my warrior body, which had entered the realm of the superhuman, sensed an unknown person quickly approaching my body..
‘If I had taken my time and came out, I would have been in big trouble..’
The time it took for the door to open and him to arrive here was only about 1 second..
This isn't even a cockroach.
I immediately got up and stretched out my hand..
wow-
What I grabbed at once.
“……!”
I stood up from the bed and confirmed the identity of the uninvited guest in the night..
A completely unexpected person was struggling in my hands..
“Eltora Terserion.”
I never would have guessed that the prime minister's son came in person..
Of course, there was no reason to panic.
Even if I were a grandfather instead of a son, what I have to do would remain the same..
“……I hope you came prepared to get hurt..”
I plan to accept the full price of being called without even being able to participate in community activities..
