happy. But it was no time to rejoice.
For what reason has the Hidden Piece been activated now?.
And what happens to the end of this hidden piece?.
this was the problem.
‘The opponent is not good either. Of all those people, I guess…….’
Imperial Rat Charon.
Among the deceased, no one liked him..
Despite the harsh tone and unfriendly personality,.
This is because there were often cases where it appeared out of nowhere and broke the player's neck..
So some old people used to call Charon like this..
‘'Bad ending maker'.
In fact, Charon is a character with unique events..
While working outside the main story, when you encounter Charon, the same situation unfolds..
At this time, the user is given two options:.
-fight.
-talk.
The problem is that if you choose to ‘fight’, 99% of the enemies will be wiped out..
Even after entering the final chapter, it was not easy to beat Charon..
In other words, the user has no choice but to choose 'dialogue' and engages in a fierce psychological battle with Charon..
and.
‘80% It's enough to break your neck.’
This is why Charon is called ‘Bad Ending Maker’.
Charon is a man who was an empire rat before being an academy teacher..
If I determine that you are a danger to the empire, I will break your neck without delay..
“this… … ! There are so many demons!”
Charon sighed after checking the other side..
I couldn't help but be embarrassed. Because it seemed like he wasn't interested in me..
‘Was it not the bad ending hidden piece, but a different hidden piece that was activated??’
Hidden piece that I didn't know about.
I couldn't ignore the possibility that it would activate..
then.
‘Since when have you been here??’
Of course, it could also have just arrived..
[The roar made by [Ilseom].
They would have thought something had happened here, and it would have been easy for Charon to find the secret passage..
“Zero! Come to your senses! I have to leave this place right away.!”
Charon shouted loudly..
I was so embarrassed, I could feel with my whole body that this was a dangerous situation..
yes you can.
Because there are countless demons and there are many students to protect..
but.
‘Charon wouldn't be this kind of character.?’
If it was the Charon I knew, he would have hidden his embarrassment..
Although he has a cool-headed personality, his anxiety can be contagious to his students..
In other words, there is only one conclusion.
‘I'm acting.’
Years of espionage life.
Specialist in lie detection and torture.
The one who guards the emperor's back in a lower and darker place than anyone else..
That's it.
‘Imperial Rat Charon.’
As my thoughts reached this point, the assumption that I had just arrived was erased from my mind..
Charon must have been watching me before..
maybe.
[Even the moment I wrote [Ilsom].
“Zero! What are you doing! hurry and follow me!”
Charon held out his hand with an urgent voice..
What will happen if we hold hands?
I'm not sure, but being dragged along like this was our preference..
“Hehe, isn’t there something strange??”
“What do you mean??”
“Anyone can see that there has been a major attack on the cliff over there... … Why aren't you pointing that out??”
“…….”
Charon was so focused on acting that he made a beginner's mistake..
[The aftermath of [Ilseom] was still continuing..
Even now, large and small stone debris continued to fall, and the ants were still confused..
Above all, it was clearly engraved on the cliff on the other side..
[The large sword marks of [Ilseom].
“……I see Could it be you did it??”
“Hehe, can that be so?.”
“Then who did it??”
“Oh, I was just curious about that too..”
“…….”
Charon's eyes were slightly irritated..
Why do I look at you like that?.
I also asked because I was genuinely curious..
“……Maybe there was someone else. He could be the culprit behind this incident..”
“okay. And the culprit is probably a member of the Lester family..”
“What does that mean all of a sudden??”
“That trace. It's the 'Ilseom' of the Lester family.?”
“…….”
One mistake leads to a second mistake.
We are the ones who know that Luna is a survivor of the Lester family..
‘It is natural to know the technique called ‘Ilseom’.
Did he realize his mistake? Charon pursed her lips..
There aren't that many opportunities to beat Charon..
I could feel it intuitively. It's time to use 'that skill'.
“That's strange. There's no way he wouldn't know that that's a trace of Ilseom. then…….”
I opened one eye and used the [Open Eye] skill at the same time..
“Even though I saw it, I was deliberately pretending not to see it.?”
Charon's complexion hardened..
It was as expected.
Charon witnessed my [glimpse] and was watching me for some purpose..
“Hehe, you made a mistake. Mr. Charon…….”
no.
“Mr. Imperial Rat.”
Were these words and actions too provocative?.
Charon twisted every part of his body grotesquely..
Tdu-duk - Tdu-duk-.
Charon straightened his body and adjusted his posture..
The hesitating appearance disappeared, and his body size became 1.2 times larger than usual..
and.
“……I don't like quick-witted rats..”
Charon's eyes shone faintly..
“You know my tinnitus. This is amazing.”
Charon came towards me..
leisurely steps.
But when I closed and opened my eyes, Charon had already arrived before my eyes..
A grim face full of scars.
A look so hideous that it could easily kill a person.
Even the situation where Charon's exclusive hidden piece is activated leading to the bad ending..
It's a really bad situation, but it's not without hope..
Because there was a skill that shined more brightly in times like this..
‘Mental defense... … It's definitely a scam in this case..’
Being able to think rationally even in these situations is a huge strength..
I remembered information about a character called Charon in my head..
‘Rat of the Empire, Shadow of the Emperor, Master of Assassination and Espionage.’
Rodelin is also a character with excellent reasoning skills, but not as good as Charon in front of you..
‘Because I am still young and have little experience..’
Moreover, he is the type of person who becomes weak when he appeals to his emotions..
If you just brush your mouth a little, you can easily get over it..
But Charon is not like that..
To him, emotions are like grains of sand rolling on the street..
Having lived a rough life as a spy traveling between various countries, I know that if I tell a foolish lie, I will be seen through like a ghost..
‘I've fooled many people so far, but Charon is on a different level..’
Above all, this is a space where only Caron and I exist..
Even if one person dies, they will be buried quietly..
Of course, that one person will 100% be me..
“A rat of the empire... … It’s been a while since I heard this tinnitus.”
“Hehe, is that so??”
Charon grabbed my collar tightly and lifted me into the sky..
Then a sheer cliff appeared beneath my feet..
“okay. I killed everyone who said that word..”
“Hehe, you said that. I wish you had told me sooner..”
Charon’s expression changed subtly..
Maybe it's because I wasn't embarrassed at all.
Why don't you panic??
[[Mental Defense] This is because the skill is showing its power, but.
‘Because it’s strange.’
Attack of demonic beasts, students' crisis.
In the meantime, I discovered an abnormal being called ‘me’..
It is an emergency of emergency situations..
However, a person with Charon's level of skill can control this situation..
knock me out and arrest me.
Ensure children's safety.
After that, they torture me to find out information..
This was the most reasonable and efficient way..
But he chose to bother talking to me, even acting.?
It means there is a special reason.
And the reason is.
‘It is most likely related to the Leicester family..’
From what I saw, Charon seemed to have ties to the Leicester family..
As I said before, he is not allowed to have emotions..
However, Charon shows favor towards Luna.?
‘There's something connected to the Leicester family. It's not in the game, but I'm sure.’
I got a feeling.
Revealing the relationship between Charon and the Leicester family.
That's the key to conquering Charon..
It's the only way to get out of this situation.
“That's all for the lame jokes. It must be hard for you to come up with an excuse right now. So, let me ask the question. you just answer.”
I really appreciate your consideration..
Actually, that's one of the techniques to gain the upper hand in a conversation..
Well, it doesn't matter because I didn't really want to gain the upper hand..
What's more important now is.
‘How can I avoid being caught lying?.’
There are many ways Charon uses to detect lies..
Contrast with your own information, logic and reason, eye movements, breathing, pulse fluctuations, etc..
‘What you need to be most careful about is…….’
Fluctuations in eye movements, breathing, and pulse.
Movements that were physically impossible were the problem..
‘Fortunately, I have narrow eyes.’
The pupils are so small that you can't see them, so you don't have to worry about the movements of the pupils..
The problem is fluctuations in breathing and pulse..
There is a [mental defense] that allows you to always remain calm..
However, it is questionable whether this skill can even control the heartbeat..
Now that it's like this.
‘Answer by mixing lies and truth.’
The most perfect lie is one with about 30% truth mixed in..
From now on, an extreme psychological warfare will unfold through dialogue..
The first psychological battle between stagnant water and the imperial gutter rat..
Whichever side wins, it will be a dirty and fierce battle of wits..
Charon's eyes shone faintly..
“Isn’t it illegitimate??”
The illegitimate son of the Leicester family..
The question of whether Luna and I are half-siblings.
‘Did you infer that way?.’
Well, it was a reasonable inference..
[[Ilsom] is not a skill that just anyone can use..
but.
“Hehe, no. The great Leicester family couldn't have done that.?”
“…….”
Charon closed his mouth..
It's probably because the first question was met with a counterattack rather than a counterattack..
Charon's first question.
It seemed like a straightforward question, but there was a hidden trap..
‘Of course I thought you would say 'yes'..’
Of course, if you said it was an illegitimate child, the chances of survival would have increased..
Because there is no genetic identification technology in this era..
But that's only if the 'lie' works..
‘It is not yet known whether mental defense skills can even control heart rate..’
If 'That's right. They are half-siblings with Luna. ‘Hehehehe, aren’t I pitiful?’, but if [Mental Defense] was due to the inability to control the heartbeat,?
Even though I was already in the other world, there was nothing strange about it..
‘He must have thought about 20 things about how to put pressure on him when he said it was an illegitimate child..’
So I told the truth.
‘But that's not to say Charon didn't gain anything..’
This is Charon, who shows an unknown favor to the Leicester family..
If I were an illegitimate child, I would have been treated on the same level as Luna..
But now that he knows that's not the case, Charon no longer has any hesitation..
In other words, now Charon has sacrificed the first question..
I now have the power to end my life at any time..
“So how can you use the Leicester family’s sword skills??”
The first hurdle has been crossed.
Now is the time to experiment and confirm [mental defense] and, conversely, dig up information..
After swallowing internally, I opened my mouth..
“I learned.”
