Episode 237 Awl (2)

Killing spirit.

intention to kill someone.

Usually, it’s just a creepy ending, but in this image world, the effect is amplified dozens of times.

Since it is not transmitted through the physical body, in severe cases, the spiritual body is severely shocked, and permanent sequelae may be accompanied in reality.

‘Mind pollution.’

Players named this phenomenon that way.

When this state is reached, the subject may become permanently speechless, such as stuttering, and in severe cases, mental breakdown and fragmentation.

That’s why…

“It’s like a bug.”

I stare at the clown with even more determination.

The clown asked while salivating.

“Why…”

The reason is simple.

The clown is a necromancer.

It will take a year to restore the summoned beasts lost in this battle, and they will not be able to come out to the city and harm me until Noark’s barrier is broken.

But…

‘Orcules.’

The group to which the dragon slayer who killed Dwalki belonged.

After all, this guy is also an enemy that will have to be defeated someday.

If you can stir-fry it in advance, it would be reasonable to stir-fry it.

“……Ughhhh!”

The lethal release continued for a long time, causing a sharp pain in the back of the head. It was a skill that used mental strength as a cost, so it was unavoidable.

Maybe I should just sleep all day tomorrow.

Well, maybe I’ll get two nights of sleep.

But the more I did, the more the pressure increased.

This bastard must be considering ‘Bjorn Yandel’ as an enemy by now and thinking of revenge.

‘It’s best to mess around here.’

This guy is more dangerous than a dragon slayer.

Unlike that guy who lost his memory, he has a clear hostility towards ‘Bjorn Yandel’.

If you can’t defeat me this time, someday.

I will hurt my comrades.

“……!”

Not only the target clown, but all the members here can feel it with their skin.

‘Shit.’

The time when I was young to live literally continued, and a sudden sensation of stiff brain bloomed.

It was an experience I had before.

All the mental power to use life is exhausted.

“Stop it. My feet……”

I thought I could do it a little longer.

Even though I feel regret, I squeeze to live until the end.

How many more seconds could you hold out like that?

“…… Huh up!”

Like a man out of water, the clown took a deep breath.

And he coughed up gastric juices.

“Kek kehehe uh uh…!”

I was a clown with a pathetic appearance, but I was not in good shape.

The feeling of being able to pass out just by closing your eyes.

“Why…… why the hell…”

The clown, having come back to his senses, struggled to stand up and looked into my eyes.

His breathing was a bit rough, but it didn’t seem like there was a problem with his language function.

Yeah, you didn’t even get close to mental contamination.

‘After that, it’s like this too…….’

It was quite an expected result.

Even when I spewed murderous spirits at the fox in the past, my sanity ran out before I got to that point.

A clown who had killed countless people was more likely to have a thicker mental barrier than a fox.

‘Looking at his life, he seems to have become much stronger than before, but it still doesn’t work.’

Feeling bitter, I carefully observed the clown’s eyes.

In his trembling pupils, the doubt was greater than the resentment. The fear that blooms there because I don’t know the reason for my actions.

“…….”

I continued to stare at the trembling clown.

So what do we do now?

Such concerns never existed.

Since the first bread, which was hit hard, went back to failure, there must be some reason to convince it?

It’s a useless worry.

That’s right, I’m a lion, not Bjorn Yandel.

“Is it just this much?”

The living mode did not end due to mental exhaustion.

It was pitiful that I ended up giving it to you.

He self-hypnotizes himself like that and turns his back indifferently as if he is not interested.

And…

“Tsk.”

I spit it out like I’m annoyed.

“I thought it would be useful for a little bit according to rumors.”

As if you had just tried it once.

***

The plan to kill the clown has failed.

But I didn’t have much regret.

Even in this case, there are advantages only in this case.

Wasn’t there a saying from ancient times to keep the enemy as close as possible?

‘I’m going to have to suck it up after all this has happened.’

The clown is an executive of the criminal group Orculis.

Since they have Noark as their base, high-quality information that will be useful will continue to come out if they use it well.

“Hey… are you okay?”

The queen, who watched the situation with bated breath, cautiously approached the clown and held out her hand.

But did it hurt your ego?

fault.

As if a clown was venting his anger, he removed her hand, grabbed the chair, and rose to his feet and sat down.

and saw me

He showed rudeness in front of the other members, but it seemed like he liked it no matter what.

Just keep your eyes fixed on me.

I spat out words that didn’t make sense.

“……Are you, the lion, ‘he’?”

huh?

what is ‘that’

It’s not a character you shouldn’t call by name.

“…….”

I didn’t know at all, so I just shut up.

As always, if this is the case, the judgment is that it will go even halfway.

In fact, after waiting for a while, the clown muttered as if organizing his thoughts.

“…No, I don’t think so. You are not him.”

I said something if the deer antlers knew anything.

“Yes, ‘he’ is a body that cannot participate in the assembly due to restrictions.”

The queen, who was watching with interest, also opened her mouth as if there was no need to spare words.

“……The standard here is higher than I thought? Yes. He can never be here. This chat room doesn’t open until three o’clock.”

I can’t because it’s three o’clock…?

Wait a minute, it sounds like you’re talking about someone who knows this.

‘……Are you talking about Lee Baek-ho?’

Such a hypothesis suddenly came to mind, but there was no way to confirm whether it was true.

This is one of the few downsides of the investigators.

Even if you have a question, you can never ask first.

Especially if it’s low-level information that everyone knows.

There’s Gao, the giant lion.

‘Anyway, I’ll figure this out later.’

It was time to step in.

I know it’s not for everyone anyway, but there’s no need to stay still.

I chuckled and spat it out.

“Yes, I am not ‘that guy’.”

Just like giving a prize because you guys who roll your head hard are cute.

Not ‘he’, but ‘that guy’.

Whoever I was, I chose words that implicitly put him and me on the same level.

But did this strategy work?

“You’re ……”

Even though I got hit in the first place and became like that, the clown looks at me and looks in amazement.

There was no sign of resentment at all.

Maybe he didn’t even want to be hostile.

“Are you curious who I am?”

At my question, the clown gulped and nodded. I immediately flinched as if it was something I had done without even realizing it.

Oh, but there was no way to correct the answer.

After being slapped once, he seems to be really curious about who I am…

I shrugged slightly.

A gesture that everyone would know except for the new member, the Queen.

“……What does that mean?”

The clown answered the queen’s question like a subordinate.

“If you bring me interesting information, I’ll tell you.”

“Ah, that’s what the concept of this secret chat room was like, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. So, who is the ‘he’ everyone was talking about earlier?”

The goblin asked quietly, but the queen ignored it as if she hadn’t heard.

It was then.

“Are you serious about revealing your true identity…?”

The clown asked blankly, and I did not answer.

I just stared at the clown.

Even if it’s related to my personal life, as if there’s nothing I can’t tell you if it ‘enjoys’ me.

As if even that situation would be enjoyable for me.

“I’ve been looking at it for months, but I just can’t understand it.”

The deer antlers looked at me and said as if they were tired of it.

“I don’t know how long you’ve been in this world, but even if you’re broken, you’re still broken. If that’s the case, you won’t be able to live a proper life when you go back.”

He was a sweeter man than I thought to worry about other people’s lives here.

But that’s it and this is this.

When he pretended not to hear and did not even look at him, the deer antlers shut his mouth tightly as if indignant.

It was then that the Queen came out.

“By the way, this is kind of interesting. If I get the information, will you be able to hear who you are? I’m kind of curious too.”

“If only you would entertain me.”

The Queen grinned at my answer.

“Look forward to it. Even if you look like this, you know quite a lot of interesting stories. Hehe.”

Well, that being said, I’m looking forward to it a bit.

Because this woman is also unidentified.

‘Once you came into this situation, it seems like you came on the recommendation of a master, unlike me…’

At first, I didn’t pay much attention to the clown because I was really educating him, but I think I’ll have to take a closer look in the future.

“Well then, how about we start soon…?”

No one opens their mouths and there is a natural silence. Soon, the goblin opened his mouth first and the confused situation was sorted out.

“Well, the door was already closed, but it can’t be like this forever. In the end, Crescent Moon didn’t attend until the end.”

“If you didn’t come at this time, it must mean that you couldn’t avoid the change.”

As expected, everyone seems to think that Crescent Moon did not survive this incident.

Hmm, he was the most active guy among them.

“So who will do it first this time?”

Normally, the fox would have held the meeting as the moderator, but the situation was strange, so the goblin took the lead.

“I’ll do it later. It’s my first time, so I think I’ll need some time to get used to it.”

“Let’s do it. Then who will do it?”

“If there is no one, I will go first.”

The first order of the meeting was the deer antlers.

“Let’s talk about ‘him’ earlier. He was released from the world five days ago.”

“Yes? He is…?”

The clown was surprised, as if it was a story he had never heard of.

“Hey…… to be fair, shouldn’t you tell me who ‘he’ is…”

The goblin noticed what this was, and the fox’s eyes did not change.

No, did you listen properly in the first place?

Huung.

Anyway, the jewel of the round table gave off a green light.

This means that the above information is true and that more than half of these seats were unaware of this information.

“But I don’t understand. Can I solve such valuable information like this?”

To the clown’s question, the deer antlers answered as if it was nothing special.

“Anyway, in a week, most people who might know will know. I should write it like this.”

“Then, can I try next?”

The Queen raised her hand slightly.

Originally, the national rule was to turn clockwise from the start, but everyone agreed to do

so .

“Hehe, it’s my first time at a place like this, so I’m a bit nervous.”

Despite

that, the voice wasn’t nervous at all.

The queen made eye contact with each one of them as if enjoying their attention, and slowly opened her mouth.

“He now It’s in the Magic Tower.”

Information on his current location.

‘Hoo is this again?’

In the first place, I wasn’t sure who “he” was, so I wasn’t particularly impressed when I heard it.

However, were these two different?

The moment the queen spit out the information, the eyes of the clown and the antlers turned to the center of the

round table . The place where there is a jewel to give.

“It’s the truth…”

“I suddenly became interested in the magic tower as

soon as I came out.” ‘…If he’s really

Lee Baek-ho, then what the hell is he doing?’

While I was thinking about something else, I felt a gaze from somewhere.

It was the seat where the queen was sitting. Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I don’t know when, but she was staring at me.

“Are you not surprised to hear this, sir? As if he knew.”

Oh, is that so?

I just don’t know who he is, so it doesn’t matter where he is.

“I guess there are people in the Mage Tower?”

“Well, maybe that’s possible.”

The Queen quietly left me I saw it and I skipped it as if it was a cute trick.

“Next time… I’ll do it.”

After that, it was the fox.

The fox, who didn’t say anything after the rally started, was rejected three times in a row.

The first two It was the latest information, but everyone knew it, and the third one was judged by everyone to be ineffective

. But I guess this is too useless? I remember him as having died as soon as he crossed the dimensional gate this time.”

“……Value is relative. For example, neither I nor Mr. Goblin know who ‘he’ is. It was a useless story.”

The fox’s logic had its own truth, but this place

is in front of a round table ruled by majority rule. Phisht.”

“…Are they all of the same opinion?”

Everyone was silent at her question, and that silence was the best answer. In the end, the

fox had to try for the fourth time.

The master has number 9.”

Information about a single number item.

“Tavern’s clan master…….”

“It’s like putting a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck. Phish.”

Soon, the jewels on the round table lit up the green light, and of course, no one disputed this time.

Because single numbers are worth that much.

To be honest, I even think I’ve finally unlocked the information I’ve been saving.

“I’ll do it this time.”

Next It was the goblin’s turn.

He, like a former paladin, released information related to religion this time as well.

“In the end, all denominations have decided to withdraw their support for the royal family. In a few days, we will probably be in and out again like before.” This

was information that could not have been known unless it was a key figure in the religion, so of course it was accepted at once.

“Fisit, then

it’s my turn. ” ” I live in Noark.”

What the hell is this bastard?

Did

he get a problem with his head after being beaten to

death

?

“…!”

Oh, to be exact, everyone except the queen.



The clown, Noark, is also a very interesting person!”

The queen spoke to the clown with an innocent voice.

However, the clown’s eyes were on me . It was fixed and there was no sign of falling.

For some reason, I thought of a demon hunter.

At that time, the bastard also threw a bait and looked at my expression like that

.

I suddenly had that thought.

So I also carefully examined the clown’s eyes. It seemed

that he felt a sense of relief somewhere .

Phish.”

What the crazy guy said.

“Mr. Crescent Moon said that Mr. Saja knew all of

our

identities

. Is it only the power of the ..

Or is it that kind of absolute that combines enormous power and information.

“How about this?”

Being able to pack an additional fun stack can be seen as an effective move.

But…

“Definitely,”

I answered with a smile.

“It was an interesting trick.”

At that moment, the jewel that had been lit up in green turned off the light, indicating that the turn had passed.

Then, it was my turn that I had been waiting for.

The information to be spit out had already been decided.

“Clown Is a corpse collection. ”

Where are you doing?
