72 Short Break (1)

"You've been beaten."

A dark plan. A loud voice flows from the mouth of the man who was staring at the crystal bead.

The man in the red demon mask turns his head with an eye that contains no emotion.

Where his gaze was directed, priests in black robes were kneeling.

"Congratulations on your summoning success."

"This time, the Church pledged additional support."

"With your support, we'll be able to move the full plan forward."

Priests gathered their mouths to celebrate the success of the demon summoning. The man in the red demon mask nods a little.

"What about concrete support?"

"It's a condensed Magi. It's enough to amplify the Cardinal's power as well as his' plan '."

"That's good."

The masked man replied in a satisfactory voice.

His voice was melting with a strong desire for the power to be given.

It was the result. No matter how it happened, the summoning itself was successful. It satisfies the conditions proposed by the Church. It was natural to receive compensation accordingly.

'I didn't know you'd be so vain.'

I remembered the footage I saw through the bead.

He frowned.

I focused on summoning myself in the first place, but I didn't think the devil would be so easily subdued.

'At least I was hoping to do a lot of damage to the Angry Troops.'

Large guilds who were not involved in the Wraith troops and Devil's Bridge were the ones who hampered his plans to swallow up a country called Korea in the future.

It was an honest idea to hope that there would be damage to that force this time.

But the consequences were catastrophic.

The demon that summoned him all of a sudden behaved incomprehensibly and died.

'Why the devil did that?'

He frowned as if he could not understand.

At first, the summoned demon suddenly began to be frightened, not like a fiery beast.

It was completely different from the devil's behavior he had anticipated.

'Is it because of the next play?'

The strongest player in the cave was the Guild Leader of the Red Rose Guild.

"……."

The masked man who was continuing his troubles shook his head within minutes.

The next player was a player who had encountered him several times.

There was no room for strength, but it wasn't so strong that the demon was terrified.

No, even if it was so strong, it didn't make sense to be so terrified before the demon, who can be said to be a big chunk of pride, fought.

'There's something.'

His eyes narrowed.

It was clear that there would be a decisive reason, something he did not know.

The problem is that the video we saw through the bead doesn't tell us why.

"The one who took the sickle at the end? '

I came up with a young man with a sharp impression.

As for the identity of the young man named Rain, he also preached about it.

Rookie pushing Red Rose Guild. Players who are secretly rumored to have considerable talent.

"Hmm...."

A short dip came out of the man's mouth.

However, Rookie was a rookie. It's only been a month since Red Rose supported him, so when he got stronger, there was a limit.

I don't know.

I couldn't understand why the devil did that.

'I have to check.'

His eyes shined sharply.

"Your Eminence, I have another news."

"Tell me."

"World rankers are showing signs of movement."

"……."

He gave a rough look to the word "World Ranker."

Not the fact that they're moving, but the world ranker.

"Hmm."

His anger was brief. He leaned back on the chair.

The dramatic weakening of the walls of the dimension in recent months has made the Devil's activity incredibly active.

It was inevitable that the others moved accordingly.

"What are the instructions from the church?"

"Absolutely nothing."

"Nothing, I..." "

The man glanced at me as if it were interesting. It was one thing to say that there was no directive in the present situation.

"We have to hurry. The plan is as it is. Let's start with El Que."

From his mouth flows the name of the boss monster who lives in the Water Source S Gate.

"Yes!"

The tight-headed priests answered in a growling voice.

* * *

After the demon summoning incident, the rain took Echidna home. Different players and department stores did not join because they opposed the polar game.

On returning home, there was Hansula who brought Kim to the hospital.

It wasn't just Hansulah.

He was also with Eun Bee Tae-su.

They sat down with the eyes of a lot to ask about the rains.

"Tomorrow I'll go and tell you about Sihun's illness."

There were no tens of thousands more who were already hiding from them over the course of a one-legged incident.

The next day, Rain went to the hospital where Kim Si-hun was hospitalized and explained the situation before and after.

That he is a player sponsored by the Red Rose Guild, and that an unidentified group called Demon Buddhism is moving in the country.

And that Kim Jae-hyun and Kim Young-hoon are offering sacrifices to the devil.

"Then... Did you say that Mr. Rain has been lurking around me for a week after hearing my rumors?"

"Yes, because the first time I heard the rumor, I knew it was about Mr. Sihun."

"Where did you hear that rumor...?"

"The world of players is narrow. And for our party, there are a lot of people who look very prominent. It's weird not to hear rumors."

Rain replied with a slack expression.

Of course, I didn't say it was me who secretly sowed the rumors to use Kim Si-hoon as bait.

All I'm saying right now is what I think of in my mouth.

'It's not wrong.'

The reason that the plan to spread rumors could succeed was because once Kim Shi Hoon's party was clearly different from the others.

The actual Kim Shi Hoon party was rather gifted and conspicuous to lack such rumors.

"Could you... tell me beforehand?"

Hansulah looked at him as though he was a little sad.

She knew that there was a lot of rain hiding about herself.

'Maybe this isn't the only thing.'

She had the intuition that the rains would still carry more and more huge secrets.

Somehow, I felt that the rain and the distance I even lived with right next to me were so far away that I couldn't reach out.

A lonely sensation filled her chest.

"I'm sorry to worry you."

"Ah…."

A short elasticity came out of Han Seola's mouth.

I felt even more guilty about his apology, without even a slight excuse.

"Oh, no. What did I say to Mr. Rain.. Mr. Rain will have a situation too."

"But it's true that I was worried about one of my family members. I can't say that this will never happen in the future, but... I'll try to make it happen too."

"That, that! Effort! Th-that.."

Hansula blurred her end with a red face that seemed to burst. My heart pounds. If you don't give me strength in my mouth, I'll laugh like a fool.

The word "family," he told her, filled her head.

"... Thank you."

A crawling voice. A strange pink atmosphere filled the gap between the two.

"Rain, give me this."

Echidna sits on his knees with a fat look.

She hands him the tangerines she bought when she came to the hospital.

The rains caught tangerines smiling.

"Brother, what happened to those demon churches?"

"It's a paragraph. I haven't caught the guy who looks like the boss yet."

"Huh.... Kidnapping real people and offering them as sacrifices?"

"You almost got hit by them, too."

"Celestial bastards!"

Tae-su rolled his foot with an angry expression. Otherwise, the terrifying attitude would distort his face and become the face of the evil spirit that would come out of the dream.

"You're not a person. '

The rain swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth again.

"Anyway, be careful when you go out hunting. We don't know when they'll attack again."

"Got it."

"Here, take this one by one."

Rain gave out four circular beads from the smoker.

"What is this, Brother Rain?"

"It's a bead that can be contacted inside and outside the gate. Call me when you're in an emergency."

"Thank you, Mr. Rain."

Kim Si-hoon held the bead in his hand vigorously, impressed by his meticulous consideration.

"Mr. Rain, I have one question for you."

"I'll answer if I know anything."

"... What happened to Kim Young-hoon and Kim Jae-hyun?"

"Both will rot in jail for the rest of their lives."

"……."

"You don't have to worry. No matter how innocent they are, what they've done this time can't be rubbed in with money."

I kidnapped the players and sold them to the cult as offerings.

Of course, I would try to kill the evidence with money, but it wasn't rainy enough to cope.

'If I need proof, I'll make it compulsory.'

Rain had enough power and ability to do that.

"And I've also heard a little bit about Mr. Sihun's condition, although it's not Bourne's."

"Ah…."

"Kim Jae-hyun used his hands to make me owe a huge debt. I'll tell you what, so you can get enough compensation for that too. And it looks like your mother is sick, so we can help you get treated in the best facilities."

"Mr. Rain..."

Kim Shi Hoon was shocked.

His body trembled thinly. A stalk of tears flowed down his cheek.

"Go, thank you. Thank you very much. Really.. Ugh, Ugh. Mr. Rain is my silver man."

'Don't say that. You don't have to feel guilty.'

Rain smiled awkwardly as she recalled storming Kim Shi-hoon and turning him into a ministry horse.

"Rain... it's a really good buy."

'Stop it.'

"I was lucky to meet Mr. Rain."

'I'm sorry, I was wrong. If you think about it now, I think I've done a little too much to make the ministry ramp.'

"In the future, I want to take Mr. Rain as my brother, just like Tae-soo."

'What the hell are you doing to me?'

I felt like I was just going to burn for guilt.

No matter how calculated and cold he felt, not all emotions were dry.

"It feels like a lot of crap. '
