31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 50)

Before the Night of the Wolf began, Snowfall was gathering information on Chao.. 

But there was no significant news. It was clear that she had not returned to Nobira. The window of the mansion where her laboratory was located was broken and there was no sign of having been there.. 

‘There are no witnesses... I'll search until tomorrow and if there's no trace, I'll have to rely on the information left in the lab..’ 

Not all efforts pay off. 

- Aren’t you tired? 

- I'm a workaholic, really. 

- No rest, no rest. 

- Since ancient times, it has been said that those who work the hardest are better than beginners.. 

- That's right lol 

Before returning to the annex, Snowfall went into a bar on the street.. 

A moderate amount of alcohol was perfect for relieving fatigue, but there was one problem.. 

‘Why do you keep following me??’ 

someone was following him. 

When I left the annex, I thought it was completely private, but when I followed him to the mansion where Chao's laboratory was located, I was certain.. 

‘…Who are you?.’ 

Kibo? Or Heka side? 

Either that or a person related to Chao.? 

Kang Seol entered the bar to see the other person’s reaction.. 

“Hahaha! Make sure to leave time blank!” 

“I'm really taking you with me again.?” 

“Was I just fooled? I liked working, so I told him to come again next time..” 

“thank you! thank you!” 

mumbling sound. 

2The one-story bar was bustling with the sounds of people.. 

The employee approached Kang Seol.. 

“What would you like to order??” 

“roasted eggplant, and….” 

“Oh my god….” 

The waiter, as he was taking our order, got so startled that he retreated and disappeared into the kitchen.. 

Kang Seol looked back at the absurd situation. Now that I think about it, the noise of people talking has turned into silence.. 

Someone came in through the door of the bar.. 

A monster-like man who looks bigger than Kibo. 

Perhaps because he didn't take care of it well, his hair grew shaggy and down to his shoulders, and there was a strong smell of unknown origin.. 

‘…smell of blood.’ 

But through the foul smell, there was a strong smell of blood.. 

If humans can smell blood, how many creatures have they killed?. 

“Hey, hecada….” 

“Heka? Oh, shit….” 

“Get out, get out!” 

“Where? I'm blocking the door….” 

“back door! Go to the back door!” 

“If this continues like this, something will happen..” 

People rushed out. 

Heka didn't look at them, as if she had no business to do with them. He was only looking at one thing. 

Coincidentally, the place he was looking at was the spot where Kang Seol had recently sat.. 

thud… Cooung… 

Heka walked towards the place where the snow was gradually falling.. 

There were more signs outside the building. It looked like the Heka gang was probably surrounding the building.. 

‘Exploration or conflict?.’ 

Kang Seol confirmed that the person who was following him today was a member of the Heka gang. Otherwise, there was no way he would have run into Heka by chance in a place like this.. 

Moreover, even though it was my first time seeing him, it was strange how he walked towards me with big steps as if I knew him.. 

‘Things got a little messy..’ 

Kang Seol decided that his identity had been revealed or that his dealings with Kibo had been discovered.. 

‘Well, it's still too early to make any conclusions..’ 

First, I had to listen to Heka.. 

thud. 

Heka stood across from Snowfall's table.. 

A normal person would have stood up to face him, but Kang Seol faced him with both elbows on the table.. 

“I am Heka. They say you're strong?” 

“Who are you asking?.” 

“Who would you be?.” 

- I go? 

- me : yes. 

- It was me. 

Kangseol thought for a moment about the answer to Heka’s blunt and rude question and said this:. 

“I'm not weak.” 

Since Heka was rude, Kangseol also gave up being polite.. 

“Phew… Lie, you smell scared? It's not like I'm tired of peeing.?” 

“What is the business??” 

Cooung. 

Heka sat on the chair across from Snowfall. Due to the difference in height, there was also quite a difference in sitting height.. 

“Something like a baby... Where did you get the treasure??” 

“treasure?” 

“Don't play around with medicine. They say they handed over the treasure to the wolves.?” 

“who said that?” 

Kang Seol responded calmly.. 

I wasn't trying to be silly, but I wanted to find out where the information had leaked. Heka had a fairly direct tone, so hopefully she could just talk straight.. 

“Hmm, where are you kidding? hey! Bring it!” 

Heka looked outside and shouted.. 

He was quite relaxed even in the face of snowfall.. 

“I… I'm in a situation where I can't speak properly..” 

“Bring it back though, I'll tell you the truth when I see you waiting on the counter.” 

“Well, I understand..” 

Someone with his arms tied with crude string entered the bar, being supported in a shabby way.. 

“Ugh….” 

“Stay still! If you don't want to die.” 

His face was swollen and swollen like a fish from how much he had been beaten, and there were blue bruises.. 

It looks like blood will pour out when you open your mouth. 

With difficulty, Kang Seol was able to recall the identity of the person who had been captured.. 

“rita.” 

“Ugh….” 

“Hehehe… Looks like we know each other?” 

“For various reasons.” 

“I also tried my hand at various things. Hey, bring him in and sit him down..” 

Rita was supported and sat as if dead next to Heka, across from the snowfall.. 

- Damn, the orderlies were pissed.. 

- ㄹㅇ It turned into an expressionless expression.;; 

- Is it coming out after a long time? seat of order? 

- Information) Only the guy in front doesn't know the situation he's in. 

Heka gritted her teeth and said to Kangseol:. 

“Everything blew. After giving him a bit of a beating, he said he regretted it greatly..” 

He tapped Rita's shoulder. Then Rita spoke mechanically even though she was half asleep.. 

“me… I don't have much to do with this. Really. I was just brokering the transaction of treasures... . Cough… Please believe me. Really. Don't hit me... . sick….” 

“…….” 

“Did you hear? what do you think about it?” 

Snowfall's golden eyes just stared at Heka emotionlessly.. 

Heka said as she held the weight.. 

“That treasure shouldn't have gotten into the wolf's hands..” 

“why?” 

“I don't have a good relationship with you. You wouldn't be in Nobira without knowing that.?” 

“Of course not.” 

“Even though I knew about it, I passed it over... hmm… And the ring on that hand.” 

Heka's rotten teeth are revealed. 

Because he laughed strangely. 

“It looks like a ring I know?” 

“I don't have time. What do you want to say??” 

“Did you get caught by the wolf??” 

“yet.” 

“Ohhh... It's true? If it's a lie again, I think I'll be a little upset..” 

“Not yet.” 

Heka asked, intrigued by Kang Seol’s confident attitude.. 

“They say you are the strongest among the transferencers.?” 

“Well, maybe?” 

“How… This Heka is the strongest in Nobira. And I hate transference people so much.” 

“why?” 

“These people are just like parasites, right? Because we freely cross the boundaries and boundaries we have created and take only what we need..” 

“Didn't you like that??” 

“No, actually it's an excuse. It's fun to torment the weak..” 

“I see. It's as expected.” 

Heka is the worst of evils, and probably Doju is not much different from him.. 

- There are rumors that they murder transferees for fun. Well, it's almost certain, but.

‘It was true.’ 

Kibo's words weren't just to get Kang Seol on his side. He was just stating the facts as they are.. 

Heka said to Snowfall. 

“You still have the option to live.” 

“It's your choice….” 

The word ‘choice’ was like a symbol to Kang Seol.. 

Because he always does his best to make the right choice and, unlike others, he really sees options.. 

“What are those options??” 

“Hit the wolf, and the anger built up against you so far will be alleviated..” 

“…If you refuse?” 

“First off, I'm going to kill this woman next to me..” 

“After that?” 

“I'm going to kill you right here by breaking your neck..” 

“also?” 

“I wonder what happens after death?” 

“Even if it's a novel written by a bad guy, isn't it natural to be curious about what comes next??” 

“This fucking bastard….” 

Whoa whoa… 

Whirly Whirly-! 

Snowfall instantly used her shadow hand to grab Rita.. 

Heka, who had not expected the summoner to show this level of agility, could only watch the action with open eyes.. 

- Hmm… It won't be easy, right? This is the biggest incident taking place in Nobira, so not even the bakery owner or the sewer rat will be able to escape the aftermath..

This is what Kibo said when Kang Seol refused to join him.. 

‘In the end, everything goes as the wolf said..’ 

No matter what, the incident came to visit him.. 

“Are you trying to run away? Already in front of this lion's maw?” 

“What is a lion….” 

“…You just lost the option to save your life..” 

“The choice disappeared earlier..” 

“what?” 

“No, it's done..” 

When Heka asked Kang Seol to join her side, a choice had already occurred to her once. Kang Seol ignored the option without even looking at it.. 

Srrrrr… 

A huge spear was pulled out from Heka's back.. 

The handle was made of bone of some kind, but the blade of the spear was made of macabre steel. Battle was already inevitable. 

Snowfall gathered black energy in both hands and burst it out.. 

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… 

Whirling-! Whirly Whirly-! 

Jamad stood in a position to protect Snowfall and Rita, while Karuna blocked Heka's path.. 

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… 

Sigh… 

“What, what?.” 

Jamad, who was much bigger than Heka, protected Snowfall and looked down at him.. 

Heka sensed that the situation was not serious and shouted.. 

“Everyone come in!” 

Heka's gang, which had been surrounding them outside, entered the bar one by one. And everyone was scared when they saw Jamad and Karuna.. 

“What, what happened?….” 

“Heka! It's dangerous!” 

snowfall said to heka. 

“I asked you earlier if you were caught by a wolf.?” 

“This guy is a summoner! Think you're dealing with Kibo and attack him.!” 

“yes!” 

Snowfall was suddenly standing in the center of them.. 

“Please answer again. Just caught up.” 

sreung-! 

Karuna's sword was drawn out with lightning speed.. 

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! 

Heka blocked Karuna's sword with the spear, but it flew all the way to the inner wall of the building.. 

* * * 

“Huh... Huh... Jirmo! hurry!” 

“I'm on my way! You're fast! Match the pace with the members!” 

“If you're late, only the wrong people will be sacrificed..” 

“Huh... Tonight, hehe… There must be one or two people like that.?” 

“still! We need to reduce the damage as much as possible!” 

“okay. Go, go! Everyone, get stronger faster!” 

“yes!” 

Yumira was somewhat trusted by the hunting group.. 

It hasn't been long since she joined, but the courage and tenacity she showed as she broke through the ruins made hunters naturally follow her. It was she who contributed greatly to defeating her leader, Gal Lota, the Jet Black Snake. She was talented and always took the lead.. 

‘If you're late... snowman is dangerous.’ 

Kibo said that the snowman is strong enough to be unpredictable.. 

But, even so, he was also a transfer person. It's been less than half a year since I was transferred, but I couldn't deal with Heka. In addition, Heka was always leading the charge, so the situation was even more serious.. 

Zirmo, who was running together, nudged her with his horse.. 

“…don't expect anything.” 

“What are you talking about?” 

“Did Heka save you? The transaction must have been discovered..” 

“Don't talk nonsense.” 

“If they had decided that they were attached to us, they would have killed them, and very cruelly as an example... Judge rationally!” 

The reason why Jirmo said this was because if Kangseol is dead, he should not commit suicide by clashing with Heka with this much force.. 

“Well, I'll decide for myself..” 

“Don't roll your eyes and act carelessly….” 

“3It's a street! There it is!” 

“Is that right there? There's no one around the building?” 

“For sure! There it is.” 

“run!” 

The anxiety that the situation might already be over sent a chill down the back of Yu Mira's neck. Wiping off the cold sweat, she headed towards the door of her bar where she said it was right before the crash.. 

“hey! Who said so openly….” 

“…….” 

“Yumira! Wake! what's the matter?” 

“all….” 

“what?” 

“dead….” 

Jirmo sighed and approached Yumira. He figured Heka must have already left.. 

“That's right, I told you not to get your hopes up! First, let's find out exactly what happened and join Kibo's side.….” 

And, he also got to see the inside of the bar.. 

“…uh?” 

A scene unfolded that he could not understand. Therefore, like Yu Mira, he stood still with his mouth open in a daze.. 

As if I had become a fool. 

Mira Yu said. 

“They all died.” 

“Oh my, this can't be happening….” 

“Even that monster Heka, everything….” 

“Nonsense.” 

The walls were stained with blood, as if they had been painted red from the beginning, and lost limbs were strewn everywhere.. 

and. 

Something presumed to be Heka's head was placed on the table where Snowfall and Rita were sitting.. 

Rita was sobbing because of what a shocking sight she had seen.. 

At that time, Kang Seol and Yu Mira’s eyes met.. 

“It's late.” 

The words Kangseol spoke in this hell island were so peaceful that Yumira felt as if nothing had happened to him.. 

Only Heka's head, with an expression that could not accept this, was shouting that this situation was not a lie.. 

“…snowman.” 

wolf night. 

Something happened that no one expected. 

the lion is dead.
