31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 414)
The story was roughly concluded, and Kang Seol spent some time separately with Han So-mi..
“What happened?”
“I knew it right before too. My brother was singled out as a facilitator in this matter..”
“…It was something you didn't know?”
“yes… That's the end. The ripeness that emanates from existence cannot be hidden, but for now,.”
- that's right?
- Perfectly cooked rice, is that right?.
- I don't know about mature rice, but it's Han Somi..
- Han So-mi's hair was tied up haha.
- Wow, it's been a few years. Pandea is narrow~ narrow~
“how are you here?”
“Shirlene? Or the Bureau of Investigation.?”
“…both.”
“hmm… It’s been a while since I came to Shirlaine. I was a bit frustrated with the situation in the South. No, to be exact, Nevenia.”
It is said that Nevenia became a dirtier place after a vicious prince took over the throne. Because of this, everyone except the guilds that were rooted there are leaving..
“So what should I do? I boarded a boat and headed east. But I don’t fit in with that type of atmosphere… I came right up to the north..”
“…is it.”
“What is the investigator... Adventure work wasn't a good fit for me, so I bounced around from job to job until I found out... Surprisingly, it was perfect for me..”
“How's work going??”
“Every day is new. Sometimes I think I'm going to die like this, but other times I have nothing to do so I just kill time and go back. When you look at it after some time has passed, it's a mess, but still, it's alive... It makes me think.”
Kang Seol looked at her silently and stroked her head. In a time when her survival was uncertain, the sight of her living proudly brought a strange resonance to his heart..
“Ugh, what is it? What kind of signal is this??”
“signal?”
“Not me! I don't have that feeling!”
“…ah! no, that wasn't it.”
“They say a strong negative is a strong positive.!”
“…what do you want?”
“Ehehe… It's a joke.”
Han So-mi watched the sunset from the terrace..
“You know, brother. I thought you were dead.”
“…….”
“That's right, every time. Contact was made or not. No, isn't that a normal situation? anyway! I've worried about Gyeongtaek once or twice, but I'm tired of it now..”
It's a time when you're grateful that someone cares about you..
“Has your family increased since then? I saw that the kid called him dad earlier... Did he have an accident??”
“accident? hmm… So to speak, it's long.”
“It's good for you. What a family. It's nice to be noisy. Shirlene, what do you think??”
“Are you okay? Although it has only been a few days.”
“Long ago, when I was in Korea, I felt unfair and wondered why I wasn't born in a country like Switzerland, but I think heaven heard that and brought me here..”
“I'm glad you're doing well..”
Kang Seol asked about Jamal and Ray, who were working together on this project..
“Them? Although I am a former student, I am very individualistic... . Plus, Jamal and Ray are best friends, so we go together, so I'm the only one left out..”
“that's possible?”
“Actually, my partner took a leave of absence a while ago. For the time being, you are my partner..”
“…What can I do in Star's End??”
“On that day, we will be responsible for the security there. Of course, that's just what they say, but in reality there will be a lot of security guards from the organizer. Maybe he's much stronger than me? In addition, the investigation bureau will dispatch more personnel..”
So then there is nothing to worry about?.
“There was also talk of contraband..”
“When it comes to contraband, Jamal and Ray are in charge, so they'll take care of it themselves, so we just have to worry about running the auction. Even though it's just a pretense.”
“mimic?”
“Didn't you know? There has never been an accident in Star's End. Influential nobles of the Federation gathered in one place, and each of them took thorough measures of self-defense. I know how strong their escorts are.?”
There was a limit to the number of people each auction participant could bring. As far as he remembers, only one person was allowed to accompany him..
“Anyone in their right mind wouldn't cause trouble there. Because it turns many people, including all of the federal aristocracy, into enemies. Moreover, the leaders of each faction are also mixed together..”
Of course, it will be like that since we are taking the most powerful person with us..
“Why worry so much... brother!”
“Ah, yes.”
Han So-mi was pouting and looked at Kang Seol for a long time..
“It's strong?”
“what does that mean….”
“I can feel it. I'm much stronger than before?”
Kang Seol couldn't choose the right answer..
Han So-mi smiles.
“phew… thank god. Then there won't be any problem this time either..”
“why?”
Han So-mi said as she left the terrace..
“well! Because the brother I know is the strongest person in the world.?”
* * *
Star's End.
Its exterior was a huge ruin located in the center of the city..
The size alone was as large as several football stadiums combined. This huge ruin is not open to the public.
Because the secret contained within has not been revealed yet..
However, once every few years.
Precious people wearing masks gathered here..
There was only one place in Surlaine that accommodated them all and was as precious as them..
In a ruin filled with secrets, they hold their own secret event..
Secrets have the magic power of the word itself, so everyone in power covets them. So it was inevitable that Star's End would be noisy today..
“Your smile is impressive.”
“…Is that so?”
“Yes, from which family….”
“It's probably taboo to ask where you're from.?”
“Oh, excuse me. For a moment, I forgot where this place is. It's beautiful?”
A woman wearing a mask asked a man wearing a mask.
“Yes, it's beautiful..”
man wearing a mask.
Snowfall didn't lie.
He was keenly aware that this Star's End was special and beautiful..
‘This is what it feels like in real life.’
- It felt like the constellations of the world were intertwined..
Now I've come to think that the script, which was full of bullshit, wasn't really an appropriate expression..
“Well then, I'm done.….”
“Ah, you had company. … See you again.”
nod…
As soon as Kang Seol left the place, a woman came with her arms around her..
“brother!”
“…Somi, your voice is loud.”
“Yeah, really? Who are you? that person?”
“I don't know.”
“Is it okay to talk to someone I don't know? That's it?”
“If you ignore me outright, I feel bad..”
“…That's right. Brother, don't forget! We are here now with the help of the people. Please put my safety above all else.!”
“……The people's cane is okay.?”
“what! I have a cane! My brother is a stick pretending to be a cane! I really need to protect my cane..”
“Okay, cane..”
“…That has a very unpleasant tone..”
While the stick and cane were laughing and talking, someone approached..
It was Gale and Ur..
The Bureau of Investigation told me that I could bring one person as an escort, so I came here with Ur..
Instead of playing with Urdo Tancia, he followed her to get some fresh air..
“Let's talk together for a moment..”
“Okay, ur.”
“Got it, I'm watching the loud girl.”
“Oh, is that by any chance??”
Snowfall traveled with Gale to a deserted place..
“This is already my third visit to Star's End. Every time I look at it, I am overwhelmed by its scale..”
“…….”
Snowfall had one thing on her mind when she came here..
No matter how much you think about it, it's a strange fact.
‘The compensation is too high for security work.….’
Even if the Bureau of Investigation received federal funding, there was no way they could afford to hand over the Star's End auction items..
Snowfall blurted out..
“What do I really have to do??”
“…You already noticed.”
“Depending on the answer, I may feel uncomfortable..”
“haha… It's true that I lied, but I didn't hide a huge truth. The promise will be kept and we will pay you. No matter how much bleeding I endure.”
keep promises.
Then, the mission part must have been a lie..
“There are those who aim for Star's End.”
“…are you sure?”
“This is an estimate. That's what information is..”
“a little more detail.”
“It seems that the plan is to conduct business here, where many influential federal nobles have gathered. The target may be an auction item, or the life of a Federation nobleman..”
“I can't believe the empty words of asking you to protect everyone here….”
“Of course not. It's not worth the price. One thing I would like to ask the investigator is to follow the traces..”
“trace?”
“The Star's End auction is not an official event in the first place. Therefore, the nobles themselves know best that they cannot invest large-scale federal resources. But even so, if you just sit there and watch things unfold, your anger will pour out on the investigation bureau..”
Kangseol frowned..
“The investigation bureau assumed the situation after the problem occurred..”
“You're a ghost, that's right. No matter what happens in Star's End, a trace will definitely remain. Once the problem has already occurred, the Investigation Bureau cannot control it. Unless all investigators are deployed. So, after something happens, the nobles find something to vent their anger on..”
“It's rotten.”
“It's a kind of way of life. It's good if something goes smoothly without it happening, and if it does happen, it's good.….”
Gale's plan was both compelling and completely unsettling..
“It's not our fault no matter how many nobles die, we just need to point out who we should be angry about..”
“Prevents you from getting angry unexpectedly... . It seems like a plausible plan. Except you fooled me.”
“Didn't you need access to Star's End? Wasn't it a good deal??”
Grinning…
Even for Kang Seol, it was easier for the other person to appear like this. At least he didn't have to use up his power to protect people he didn't really care about..
“then… enjoy.”
Gail left..
After Kangseol reunited with Ur, he gave her a hint about the progress of work..
“…That's fun. Does this mean I just have to work as much as I get?.”
“I think so.”
“What about the pleural effusion? Is it okay to kill him??”
“It would be better to capture him alive if possible, but... There's nothing we can do if it's not possible.”
Ur smiled brightly..
“For the first time in a while, a pleasant stimulus has arrived..”
Maybe it would be better for everyone if nothing happened.
There is someone here who just wants trouble to arise..
“brother! What are you doing?”
“Ah, yes.”
“The auction is about to start. Let's go now!”
Kang Seol and Han So-mi headed to the place where the auction was taking place..
There weren't many people compared to the size..
Only the selected number of people will participate..
Of course, it's still small compared to the scale, but in absolute terms, there were a lot of people..
“I guess it's here.”
“…uh?”
nod…
The woman I had spoken to earlier was present. She bowed lightly, so Kang Seol did the same..
Even after taking a seat, Han So-mi continued chatting..
“There is a saying that the north was originally the home of dwarves. Star's End is a trace of that..”
“hmm….”
“Considering that the secret of this great ruin has not yet been revealed,….”
“Let's start.”
“uh? It's true!”
The auction host appeared with a short introduction..
The host made a lot of unnecessary remarks while thanking the many distinguished guests who visited the event and the many people who submitted wonderful treasures..
“Now, let me introduce the first treasure to the precious people here. An object of historical value unearthed from ruins in the central alpine region! This is Atra's mask.!”
Wow!-!
The curtain that covered the object disappeared, and the object inside was revealed..
“ruler! Atra… of?”
“Wow!!”
“Hey, what is that?!”
“what….”
Atra's mask was not there..
Instead, a man's severed head was lying squarely on top of it..
The host stuttered and said.
“How did this happen?….”
The surprises don't end here.
Slurp…
The neck moves on its own to look at the presenter.
“he… Hehehe….”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
The head spit out liquid..
Cheeeeee…
“Wow!!”
The host screamed in pain as his face burned..
While everyone was shaking in shock, the severed head spoke..
“Nice to meet you, idiots. It makes me feel good to see your stupid faces. then… To commemorate this meeting….”
As soon as the severed head spoke, all the lights began to explode..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
“Let me give you a gift of cruelty.”
Soon, a huge commotion began to arise..
“Wow!!”
“get out! Let's get out of here!”
The woman next to Kang Seol also said as she came close to Kang Seol..
“this… It's a dangerous situation. hurry….”
Fuuuuuk…
“…uh?”
Snowfall's hand pierced the woman's chest..
Clang…
The poisoned dagger fell to the floor..
It was an object that the woman was holding tightly in her hand in the dark..
“how… not….”
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The chaos unfolded everywhere..
grasp-!
Kang Seol grabbed Han So-mi’s hand next to her..
Kugu Palace…
Soon, the floor of the ruins began to crack regularly..
[Blood flows in Star's End.]
[Star's End Wants More Blood.]
A message came to Kang Seol’s mind..
[An unexpected adventure ‘Star’s End’ occurs..]
[This adventure is very dangerous.]
……
Han So-mi stayed by his side, trembling with anxiety..
“Oh, brother… this….”
The turmoil that Kangseol has been through has awakened her senses and nailed her future..
“Don't get away from me, you'll die..”
