Chapter 388

Episode 388 Wild Horse (2)

A community of demons held at midnight on the 15th of every month.

Time flows differently in Ghostbusters than it does outside.

‘One hour here equals one second outside.’

To put it simply, even if you use all 12 hours that the community maintains, only 12 seconds have passed outside.

But…

‘I won’t wait that long.’

The Marquis’ intentions are clear.

He has unconfirmed questions about me and will try to confirm them with me tonight.

There is only one problem here.

how much time do i have

First of all, the free time I hoped for was 4 seconds.

If that happens, it will be time to participate in the round table that will be held in 3 hours.

Suspicion due to the absence of the investigator can be prevented, and there is no loss of information that would occur while taking a break from the round table.

Damn it.

‘As expected, 4 seconds is too close.’

I suppressed the creeping greed.

Yes, let’s give up neatly what we give up as planned.

clack clack.

A computer that has finished booting up as soon as the decision is made.

I quickly manipulated the mouse to check the chat room.

[Long live Korea’s independence] – 1 person is online.

Without wasting time, I immediately entered the chat room.

[HS123]

First of all, the online player was right by Hyunbyeol.

I wondered if the GM could have released Lee Baek-ho’s ben as I requested and he didn’t come.

Well this is because there is still time left.

“Are you here?”

Hyunbyeol, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at me with his legs crossed.

A white blouse and formal skirt.

This time, the attire is still the same.

“What is that tone? Like I couldn’t have come.”

As we sat on the sofa across from us and naturally talked, Tiki-Taka reminded us of the old days.

“I thought it might be possible if it was my brother. You usually run away when something slightly uncomfortable happens, don’t you?”

What about running away?

“If it’s not something you have to solve, there’s less energy wasted if you did it.”

It is a national rule to skip events that are rewarded relative to their difficulty level.

Pursuing efficiency means reducing waste.

Just like it is right now.

“Hyunbyeol.”

There was no time to waste on trivial small talk, so we got right to the point.

“Have you met the GM before?”

It was the real reason why he entered the chat room without leaving immediately, even though it was not time to participate in the round table.

That’s because I was trying to confirm this from this point of view.

Hyeonbyul, who had slightly furrowed her eyebrows at my question, opened her small lips.

“……How did you know?”

A word of affirmation, not negation.

I calmly explained the reason for my suspicions.

“It’s strange that the note came when we were talking. I did a little research.”

The first time I felt a sense of incongruity was after I broke up with Hyunbyeol.

After returning to my room and tinkering with my mouse, I remembered the GM who was very interested in this chat room.

Even if the GM can’t eavesdrop on the contents of the chat room, he can see who is in the chat room.

Suspicious that it might be the GM who sent the note to Hyunbyeol, I searched a chat room and kept an eye on the number of people.

And it was not long before I found out.

“The number of people in the secret chat room that the GM uses often increased to three before long. I thought it was you because I thought the timing was wrong.”

“…then why did you wait until today without calling me back then?”

“Because the note might be spied on by the GM.”

“Then you can just ask them to come to the chat room.”

“That alone can make you think it’s strange.”

“……it’s annoying.” seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hyeonbyeol glanced at me and sighed.

“I’m afraid you’ll misunderstand, so I’ll tell you in advance, but I didn’t mean to fool you.”

“know.”

“I was going to tell you today. Of course, it’s hard to believe from my brother’s point of view… Yes? What did you just say?”

“I know. I didn’t mean to lie.”

At my words, Hyeonbyeol’s expression turned strange.

“It’s nice to say that… but on what basis?”

The rationale is simple.

“If you had a plan to hide it, you wouldn’t have affirmed my question so easily.”

Due to his personality, he would have hidden it more thoroughly.

Even though I thought that everything might have been caught, I would have denied it until the end just in case.

“But I could have acted, couldn’t I?”

“If you go that far, there are no limits. If you still don’t understand, think I just wanted to believe in you.”

When I laughed and said it in a joking tone, Hyeonbyeol kept his mouth shut.

And after looking at me for a long time……

“… oppa, did you get a girl here?”

You asked such an absurd question.

As soon as I heard it, I thought of Misha, but I decided to check the reason first.

“But why is that all of a sudden…?”

When I asked back, Hyeonbyeol blurted out his words in a slightly strange voice.

“It’s just that. I think I’ve improved my speaking skills……”

Is this a compliment or a criticism?

Deciding to regard it as the former, I changed the topic.

It wasn’t a topic I wanted to continue for a long time, and I didn’t have time to spare.

“But Hyunbyeol, I don’t have time?”

“Is that the efficient evasion that my brother talked about?”

“It’s not like that, it’s because there really isn’t. I’m going to check only what I need to check, but please answer only that.”

“Okay. What is it?”

“What did the GM suggest to you?”

“I’ll give you a GP or something, so I want you to become a spy?”

“As expected.”

“What did my brother do to be so obsessed with that person? His nickname was also strange…” ”

Somehow. I didn’t do anything special.”

Hyeonbyeol didn’t ask too deeply when I was vague.

“…Anyway, so what do you want me to do?”

“Will you tell me?”

“Have I ever not done what you said?”

uh… a lot?

No, but did you do almost all the important things while grumbling?

Okay, let’s just talk about it.

“Sell the information I want to spill over there.”

“Okay. Then, is there something else this time?”

“If I leave the chat room later, I’ll log out right away, but the GM will probably be curious about the reason. Then tell me that I’m in a battle so I can’t have a long conversation, and I left in a hurry, promising the next time.”

“Okay, but I’ll ask you one question.”

“What?”

“Why are you really logging out?”

“That? It’s similar to what you told the GM.”

“That means… you really came from fighting? The labyrinth hasn’t even been opened yet?”

“I told you it’s similar.”

You can’t say that fighting is just about fighting with your body, right?

Anyway, the answer should have been this.

“Then I’m leaving! See you next time!”

I left the chat room before Hyeonbyul had to say anything.

***

A quiet study with furniture designed and filled by her.

“If it’s all over, I’ll leave…….”

“Yes, I’ll put in the GP I promised.”

“Yes, then…”

The GM quietly muttered as the Asian woman, who had an intellectual atmosphere but was somehow clumsy, left the room.

“That man is in combat…… This feels strange. If he is an opponent to be saved even for a second, then it means that he is an enemy of the same level.”

Somewhere in GM’s voice was full of desolation. However, there was no way that Soul Queens, who had been with him for a long time, did not know the reason for that feeling.

Actually, she felt the same way.

Nickname HS123.

A Korean woman who said that if you don’t feel comfortable calling her, just call her ‘Black Star’.

They didn’t know until the woman told them.

Literally nothing in words.

He was usually confident in his intelligence, but he didn’t even feel a sign until such a big man collided in the dark.

“…Still, it’s good that you’ve captured Blackstar-sama. If there was a conflict that caused that man to struggle, there would surely be traces left. For the time being, let’s focus on finding those traces.”

While nodding their heads at GM’s words, Soul Queens did not hesitate to raise a question.

“But there’s also a strange part. If you’re really in such an urgent situation, there’s no reason to go into the chat room, right?”

“But isn’t he that guy? He said his expression didn’t look so tense. He might have been that confident.”

“That too… that’s right.”

It’s very strange, but Soul Queens could have really been like that.

No, I thought it must have been.

I couldn’t imagine the look on the lion’s face when he was impatient.

He was like a giant.

Because he has absolute faith in himself, he always takes slow steps, but he leaves a big mark nonetheless.

“Rather than that… Soul Queens, shouldn’t you prepare soon?”

“Are you ready?”

“Isn’t it time to enter the round table soon?”

“But the investigator won’t come anyway.”

“Still, there is quite a bit of useful information being dealt with there. Above all, there is a corpse collector who is the connection point with Noark. Please visit it. Maybe you can get information about the conflict that is happening somewhere right now.”

“You said that… I got it.”

Soul Queens responded to the GM’s instructions without saying anything and left the chat room. And as soon as it was time to enter, I entered the ‘Watcher of the Round Table’.

“Are you here early?”

“Yes. I have time left.”

It was the fox mask that arrived before her.

As we exchanged greetings briefly, the members entered one by one.

Goblin Crescent Moon.

And…

“Fisisit, why can’t I see that man with antlers today?”

up to the clown.

A total of five people gathered at the round table, and this continued until the door slammed shut, signaling the end of entry.

“It doesn’t matter if that deer horn guy has a guest house somewhere, but this is a bit troublesome. Mr. Susa isn’t coming.”

A clown who stands up without any regrets.

Even so, he didn’t stop grumbling.

“Seriously, you didn’t come because you brought only the same thing every time! Uh-huh, considering that you’re going to be straining your neck outside with these things…” The clown babbling toward the doorway stared at the Soul Queens with a slurred tongue

. did.

“Huh? Isn’t the Queen going?”

“Yes. I’m just going to attend this time.”

“If I fall for you, then only the little ones like that will be left, right?”

At the clown’s arrogant words, the Soul Queens laughed loudly, covering their mouths.

“Oh, that’s interesting. In fact, there’s nothing really different about being a clown, right?”

“Are you saying I’m on the same level as them?”

“Uhmm, I guess it’s similar to some extent, seeing that the investigator believes that he couldn’t come because he wasn’t satisfied with our information?”

“…It’s as if you know why the monk didn’t come.”

“Well, I can’t tell you this bare-mouthed. Oh yeah, if you’re really curious, let’s take a look around, shall we?”

“…The fish-sit bluff. It almost fooled me. There’s no way you knew about Mr. Saja.”

“Are you really sure? Then you can just leave.”

Even though she said it with a sneer, the clown’s stopped feet didn’t move.

It was somewhat expected.

The clown’s blind interest in the lion wasn’t the case today.

Took .

The clown, who had turned and sat in his seat, muttered, as if making excuses,

“…It wouldn’t be bad to wait and see how absurd he would say. Phish.”

It was a rude tone, but it was as she intended. It was true that high-level information came out only when there were clowns.

“…….”

“…….”

Even the clown sat down like that. Let’s look at each other naturally.

Looking at the eyes full of anticipation and curiosity, she raised the corner of her mouth inside the mask. She

didn’t even intend to do the first turn, but there seemed to be no reason to avoid it

. Well, what about you—”

she murmured, interrupting the clown.

“The lion is fighting someone right now.”

At the end, the clown moved to one place, not even angry at the interruption. I moved my gaze to

the place where the jewel that concealed the truth was located.

Not only the clown, but all the members were staring at it with their eyes shining brightly.

And…

Syaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Soon, light came out from the jewel. “It’s a super green light.”

A

commotion erupted from the start of the goblin’s silence. “Queen, are you

sure you found out the lion’s identity?”

As expected, he muttered softly,

“I’m not the queen. The GM must have figured it out.”

“More than that… Mr. Saja couldn’t even participate in the meeting because he was fighting, so who the hell was that opponent…”

Soon, something unusual happened to the goblin as well. ”

…” The clown

said nothing

.

“The clown suddenly became quiet—”

“How… ”

“…?”

“How did you find out…? Could it be that he told you? But if so, why? Not to me, but to you first?”

The clown’s words, which had been leisurely until just a moment ago, were full of excitement, and the eyes revealed through the gaps in the mask were looking at her as if they were going to be pierced. His eyes were more ardent than

ever

. .”

She raised the corner of her mouth involuntarily.

“If you tell me an interesting story, maybe I can tell you why?”

I felt like I was addicted to it.

Ghostbusters About 20 minutes.

If you substitute real time, it is about 0.3 seconds.

That time is too short for harm to happen in a room with no one in it.

However, after finishing the conversation with Hyunbyeol, I didn’t hesitate to press the logout button

. Had I

stayed, I would have looked around the bulletin board and giggled, but I decided it was better to come out a little earlier and prepare for the situation.

But…

‘It’s quiet.’

When I opened my eyes, the only thing I was greeted with was the same darkness as before.

I can’t hear any sound and the window frame is also firmly closed—

a

click. Then

the locked door opened .

And at that moment.

The warrior’s body sensed that someone unknown was rapidly approaching my body

.

The time it took for him to reach this place after the door opened was only around 1 second.

This is not the original cockroach.

I immediately got up and stretched out my hand.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaa –

Grasped at once by the head.

“…! ”

I stood up from the bed in that state and confirmed the identity of the late-night guest.

An unexpected person was caught in my hand and struggling. ”

Of course,

there was no reason to panic. Even

if I was a grandfather, not a son, the work I had to do would remain the same. “…I hope you came
