Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 75
75angry ghostbusters (4)
There are several grounds for judgment..
“Hey, why aren't you saying anything??”
First of all, I have never revealed my identity to anyone until now..
In other words, no matter who it is, there is only heartache..
There is no evidence to conclude that I am an evil spirit..
thus—
“I told you. He said he came from America. After all, we're like strangers here, shouldn't we stick together??”
This behavior is clearly heterogeneous.
A fellow player may criticize me by suspecting that I am a player..
But it's so blatant?
It makes no sense in many ways..
I could be a local, but why do I have to reveal my identity first?.
‘In a city where the death penalty is imposed upon being caught as an evil spirit..’
Well, I don't know after a month..
Because it's the most innocent time.
But didn’t I just say it with my own mouth?.
It's been over 3 years since I came to this city.
The fact that he survived for 3 years while acting like that is nonsense.…….
“Is there something like a ‘game’ association that we created among ourselves? I would also recommend Yandel there..”
Above all, the pronunciation when saying the proper noun 'game' seems very sick..
Like a Korean character in a foreign movie.
‘If I hadn't wanted to hide my identity in the first place, I would have at least spoken in English..’
Maybe that would have eased my suspicions a bit..
But this guy is going around talking about the easiest way..
so that…….
I came to a final conclusion based on the evidence given..
“Hey, can you please trust me now??”
This guy is not a player.
But he's pretending to be a player and looking at me..
And I can think of only one reason for locals to hide their identities..
‘You came after me by pointing the finger at me..’
Well, I thought it would come someday..
A city where the existence of evil spirits is known to the public.
I couldn't find any information about it in any of the books in the library, but there must be an organization that specializes in dealing with evil spirits..
‘I guess I'm still at the doubting stage. Because there is no such thing as physical evidence.’
In other words, what I have to do becomes clearer..
doubt must be removed.
It may only be a fleeting thought for now, but wouldn't an 'investigation' using magic or something else be launched someday?.
You need to completely nip it in the bud in advance so that you don't even think about it later..
‘But how?’
What should I do to convince those guys that I'm not an evil spirit?.
The answer to that question was really simple.
plod.
Take a big step forward.
“…Why are you suddenly approaching me? too close—”
“I have one question to ask you..”
My question remained silent.
The guy who paused for a moment then smiled and nodded as if everything went well..
“Oh yeah yeah, anything.”
“If so, feel free to ask. Are you an evil spirit??”
“What would you hide now? you're right. so…….”
Okay, I got the confirmation..
“done. You don't have to say any more.”
“yes? what does that mean—”
“The tribal leader said so. They say you have to kill every evil spirit you see..”
“yes, yes……?”
A face full of embarrassment.
I shouted loudly so that the whole world could hear me and ran towards him..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
Barbarians do not tolerate injustice..
***
A fist landed cleanly on the temple.
The eyes of the guy who has turned into a pressed steamed bun are filled with confusion, doubt, and fear..
But there's no use looking at it that way.
It's not like I'm doing this because I have any personal grudges.…….
If you think about it, isn't it a good thing to be self-employed?.
Powok—
The guy openly revealed his identity..
But here I pretend not to know and run away.?
You will only be suspicious for no reason..
Because this is something a local barbarian raised in a desirable manner would never do..
thus—
Kwaang!
He grabs the neck of the guy who lost his balance and throws him to the floor like a combo..
And then get on top of it.
Wow! Pow! puck! puck! puck!
Without stopping, he repeatedly slams his watermelon-sized fist down..
The physical resistance level was quite high and the skin was quite hard, but even so, it was useless in front of me, whose strength level had increased significantly this time..
“Oh no wait……!”
A face that became blood clots in just a few strokes.
But I didn't hesitate and did what I had to do..
Of course, he shouted as if it was unfair..
“Me, not me! no!”
Yeah, it's probably not an evil spirit..
But what can I do?.
Don’t I have to live to see it too?.
“You must be a really evil spirit to even lie..”
“No, I mean—! Argh! evil!!”
How many more blows did I have to close my ears like that?.
Due to the sudden melee, not only the crowd fills the area, but even the guards come..
Just what I wanted.
“hey! What are you doing! How dare you use violence in the middle of the city??”
“Take the guy off.!”
I neatly stopped punching and stood up..
But is it because of the level 2 material armor I’m wearing??
Unlike before when he was falsely accused and captured by the guild, the guards are on guard and carefully close the distance..
Well, that’s okay..
Tuk-!
I lifted the unconscious body and threw it towards the guard. And I shouted loudly so that everyone around me could hear..
“This guy is an evil spirit! He said so with his own mouth and tried to do something strange to me.!”
“what? evil spirit?”
The guards who were approaching the fainting guy, thinking he was a victim, flinched at my words..
Also, the onlookers who were watching are also making noises..
Of course, most of them have skeptical voices..
“Speaking of evil spirits, isn't that barbarian mistaken??”
“…Even if it was a mistake, it must be a waste of money to put someone in that situation. That friend.”
Well, the barbarian's cries are probably not credible..
But what about this??
“My name is Bjorn, son of Yandel! For the honor of a warrior, I will not tell lies.!”
little vulcan.
Bjorn, son of Yandel.
I hate to say it, but it's the hottest name in town these days.
“little vulcan?”
“…Come to think of it, I heard he wears a breastplate made of lithium..”
“Then the author really?”
“If that's the case, then it's trustworthy.…….”
“There's no way a famous explorer like that would beat up a strict person by saying such nonsense, right?.”
As the murmur continues, public opinion moves..
The guards also realized my identity and looked like they were wondering what to do with this..
At that time, a person who appeared to be the guard commander approached..
“Can you check my identity card??”
A polite question that would have been unthinkable in the past.
When I handed him my identification card, he checked it and looked at me with strange eyes..
“You really are him. First off, let me say thank you. My brother came back from the labyrinth thanks to you..”
“Is your younger brother from the Dzarwi clan??”
“That can't be possible, my brother was one of the few who paid protection money and followed you..”
Huh, probably less than ten of them survived..
It can't be a huge coincidence.
But that's it and this is this.
“So when are you going to kill that evil spirit? I feel bad about keeping him alive..”
“That will be decided only after the investigation is over. So I guess I'll have to accompany you to the local office first, but that'll be okay.?”
“Um, I'm hungry.…….”
“Of course, I will provide you with a meal. If what you say is true, it could be said that you have made a great contribution..”
“It's a big ball…….”
Unlike usual, I thought carefully..
How would a barbarian respond?.
As always, the worries didn't last long..
“what does that mean?”
A question that cannot be asked without becoming one with the barbarian..
The guard captain chuckled and answered..
“I mean you did a great job..”
“A big deal? Then, will meat side dishes be served??”
Hmm, even for a barbarian, this has gone too far.?
Suddenly a thought occurred to me, but…….
If you look at the guard captain's eyes, it doesn't seem that way..
“…I will treat you at my own expense, so please come with me..”
“If that's the case.”
Afterwards, I followed the guard leader and left the central square..
But for some reason…….
“Little Vulcan exorcised evil spirits!”
“If you just tell me this, I won’t have to pay for drinks today..”
I kept hearing those voices from behind, moving away..
***
「The character's reputation has increased by +1.」
「The character's reputation increases by +1.…….」
「…….」

Because it was a plan that was concocted on the fly, there was no feeling of anxiety inside..
But after that, the situation really calmed down..
When a security officer searched the unconscious man's arms, he found a badge..
“Uh, this is the mark of a demon hunter.?”
At first, there was an uproar even in the security department..
It was only natural that the person brought in under suspicion of being an evil spirit had the badge of a demon hunter..
Accordingly, the security department contacted them, and before long, someone who appeared to be this guy's boss came to visit..
and…….
“Uh, I mean, interest… It's our guy.…….”
He made a puzzled face at first, but once he understood the whole situation, he answered the question in a miserable voice..
“This guy said with his own mouth that he was an evil spirit. But how did that happen??”
“that is… It is a measure usually taken as a custom for people who have achieved fame or have shown outstanding achievements in a short period of time.…….”
“Stop, if you talk too hard, I don’t understand..”
“We were suspicious of Bjorn..”
“what? Did you suspect me of being an evil spirit? Who are you! The one who suspected me of being an evil spirit! Could it be you?!!”
When I snorted angrily as if I had been insulted, my superior began to sweat profusely as if he was embarrassed..
“As I said before, it is a customary procedure.…….”
“Say it easily!! Are you kidding me?!”
“What is clear is that this will never happen again! So please speak up…….”
For some reason, I felt like I knew why barbarians usually live like that..
relaxing.
The troubled reactions are also quite interesting..
“Hmm, then what happens to me? If that guy is not an evil spirit, should he be punished??”
“Is that possible?.”
“I'm glad that's the case. Well, I'm sleepy so I'll just leave..”
“Yes, yes? Ah, yes… Please do so…….”
As soon as there was an angle where I could jump, I immediately left the building and returned to my accommodation..
Although I went out shamelessly in front of them.…….
Because deep down, my desire to get out of this place was like a chimney..
‘Seeba…….’
To be honest, I'm exhausted..
Just like the time when I was chased by the hierarchical monarchs.
‘I never thought we would know so much detail here..’
Is it America, Europe or something?.
Not only was there some talk about games, but the way he spoke was natural enough to make you think he was from Earth..
Well, my English pronunciation was so bad that I couldn't tell.…….
Anyway, it's still like that.
Why are there all these ridiculous difficulty levels?.
‘Yeah, this is not all the idiots here…….’
No wonder Tarikan Lien was guillotined..
[USA? taiwan? europe? Where did that come from??]
[Wow, I almost fooled you. You're really good at acting. It hasn't been 3 months?]
[Oh, there's no need to be on guard. I am from America. I didn't even touch that damn game..]
An unfamiliar city with no one to rely on.
If someone suddenly approaches you and says something like this, it's normal to be shocked..
‘Nimiral…….’
The more I think about it, the more I think it’s a shitty world..
It's sad to be suddenly dragged in and treated like an evil spirit, but if anything goes wrong, these bastards come and throw bait.?
You can just beat the monsters to death, but you can't do that with these monsters, so they're even worse..
“Phew…….”
I breathe out the sigh of relief I've been holding in..
‘But is it okay to get over it for now?.’
Of course, I don't know if those demon hunters or something have really erased my suspicions..
But I did everything I could right now.
So there is no other way than to be careful and wait..
‘I guess I'll have to act a little more barbarian from now on..’
While reorganizing my future course of action, I entered the inn room. And I lay down on the bed with the clothes I was wearing..
But what is this again?.
“…….”
There is a piece of mail lying on the bed..
When I opened the envelope and checked the contents, I found a letter and a thumbnail-sized pill..
‘what? Did Misha write a letter? No, there wouldn't have been time for that.—’
As I was reading the letter, I immediately froze..
[This letter is a random letter sent to an explorer presumed to be a player. If you could read th…….]
letter written in english.
I almost threw it away in shock for a moment, but after making sure there was no one around, I went into the blanket..
And I read it carefully..
If we roughly interpret it, the contents are as follows..
[This letter is sent randomly to an explorer who is assumed to be a player..]
[If you can read this, never reveal to anyone that you are a player..]
[Oh, and even if I get caught by a demon hunter, I ask you not to interpret the contents of this letter..]
[Anyway, what I want to say is this..]
[We have a community where complete anonymity is guaranteed, and you can enter our community by taking the enclosed pill..]
[If you do not wish to enter, please discard the pills and sincerely hope you survive..]
The more you read, the more complicated your mind becomes..
Could it be that this is also the work of those bastards??
‘Damn, that seems too plausible.…….’
If possible, only easy words are used.?
It is completely understandable if they say they were considerate of non-English-speaking people..
Isn’t this a game that only supported English to begin with?.
Anyone would have thought this would be readable..
‘If it were me, I would have written it this way if I had planned to differentiate players and recruit them..’
It's different from the evil spirit hunters who only imitate..
This letter is written entirely from the player's perspective..
[GHOST BUSTERS]
Just look at the community name written in the top box..
Isn’t this a too witty name to have been written by an evil spirit about to be executed in an interrogation room?.
‘But those bastards used this?’
Of course, it could also be something like a time lag attack..
The kind of thing that pretends to be sloppy and preys on you when you let your guard down..
Therefore, I hoped that the sender of this letter was the player..
I don't really need a community…….
If this is a letter from the demon hunters, I have no confidence in surviving in this city..
That's right too.
[PS Rafdonia's king, mother fucker]
How can you defeat these guys who are so serious about hunting evil spirits?.
