CH 167

. 3 Great Despair (1)

Thank you, what does that mean?

Mo Yong-su asked as if he did not understand.

Well, it will be difficult to understand.

It was he who was able to achieve such great fortune that it overturned all despair.

It was him who was able to get out of the gate.

Even though everything went as planned, this place is not losing its composure, so of course it's a bit disappointing.

Jinhyuk shrugged.

Now that the work in the labyrinth is almost finished, I will explain the last thing kindly.

Of course, not the long version, but the short version.

Give me a hint, think about the theme of this labyrinth.

"The labyrinth the theme ?"

It seems that Mo Yong-soo doesn't understand. Jinhyuk pondered over his words.

Then, suddenly, I realized something.

Guardians of the Valley of the Old Kings.

Various traps punishing robbers... .

Yes.

This labyrinth is to protect the rest of the noble kings from all that.

no way!

The fourth horn doesn't bring luck.

Rather, it is closer to thoroughly punishing the tough invaders who survived the third despair.

I don't know if I heard a story about this place from the torture I was buried in.

That's all wrong information.

There's no gold here for robbers.

At the end of those words... .

The air changed rapidly.

[The 4th Luck (Despair), Retribution for Cause and Effect (因果應報)]

Those who disturbed the rest of this place.

The price will be washed away with the blood of their place.

The fourth is that all despair until now is forcibly moved to the hometown of the one who blows the horn.

That is the final punishment for those who break into this tomb.

I've only seen it in literature, so I don't know. There are a lot of documents in the Tower of Trials that have been secretly fabricated. Especially if it's a labyrinth for the purpose of protection.

How did you... know such a thing?

how do you know

I know it because I've experienced it firsthand.

In the past, it didn't matter much because all the players were folded.

In addition, the 3rd Great Despair is recalled back to its original location after a week, so there was no major problem in playing after that.

sure.

All of that is from past games.

[Gate has been activated.]

[Outbreak has occurred in Beijing, China.]

[The 3 Great Disasters Appear!]

[A 'mark' is engraved on the players in the Chinese Guild.]

[The target left with a 'mark' becomes the target of the 3 major disasters, and if more than 50% of the players belonging to the Chinese Guild die, the entire China becomes the target.]

A red status window appeared one after another.

Hey, this is...

Liaoyu opened her eyes.

Monsters who didn't even dare to fight appear in the Chinese Guild.

In other words, it was a natural disaster.

It was the same with Mo Yong-soo, which was embarrassing.

I thought I knew everything about the horn of despair through literature.

What does this mean?

The discrepancy between the previously known information and reality made it complicated as if it would explode in my head.

Looking at what is written on it, I think I picked it up, but there are quite a few things wrong with the information in the Tower of Trials.

Mangem among mangems.

Therefore, there were often cases of hitting the back of the head among the information in the Tower of Trials.

just like right now.

No, do you mean that the literature in the library of Moorimmaeng is even a lie? You dared to know what kind of remarks were uttered with those tongues!

Mo Yong-soo put a belt around his neck.

hey It's almost like freshly caught live fish.

If I said Mo Yong-se was the weakest among the five generations, would he collapse from high blood pressure?

It's not for me to argue about how excellent the information power of the Moorimmang is. What's more urgent now is how to prevent the three major despair?

Right now, the players of the Chinese Guild marked with the mark will be the target.

If more than 50% of the entire guild died, the target was to be extended to ordinary citizens.

Now, it's not just about the image of the guild or anything else. It means fighting over the fate of China as a whole.

But.

...don't talk bullshit. How are you going to protect China against such bastards?

Mo Yong-su drew a line as if it was not even worth thinking about.

also.

I expected it, but this is the answer.

Just as a lizard cut off its unnecessary tail, I didn't feel any trouble.

Are you thinking the same?

Jinhyuk's eyes turned to Liaoyu.

It didn't happen in Moorim, Mo Yongsu, so even if I don't know, it doesn't matter. Liaoyu's home has turned into a wasteland.

To protect the guild, you have to go inside.

After thinking for a while, Liaoyu slowly opened her mouth.

The fact that it was marked... means that if I also pass through the gate, I will become a target, right?

Yeah. You will look delicious to them too.

Then I won't go either.

Are you going to abandon your comrades? So easily?

You may not understand... No, you would understand. Only strong and useful people can climb the tower. I also learned the same thing from Namgungcheon.

The story of being able to destroy anything for survival.

After all, they took it for granted that they even raid the villages of elves living in peace for profit.

In fact, it may be realistic to behave this way.

This is because the leaders of the Chinese guild, including Namgungcheon, were already in the process of being absorbed as a part of Moorim, not China.

There is a world that is wider and has endless possibilities, but you don't want to risk losing everything to protect the gutter-like reality.

I know.

I understand

The way you spit it out casually... .

It felt so disgusting.

"After all, I think it will be difficult to be friends with you forever."

Garbage is also classified as a class, but this is the level of food waste.

No, at this point, I think we should listen to the position of food waste.

"Don't act like a hypocrite. Aren't you and us the same as you who stand by anyway?"

Liaoyu's lips twisted slightly.

I'm not like you. At least I don't abandon my people.

Jinhyuk quietly shook his head.

Seeing that calm look, this time, Mo Yong-su asked.

Are you sure you don't intend to enter the gate?

You don't even need to know that puppies that have grown their tails, do you guys? Now, whether or not someone else dies, I'll just focus on the fight for supremacy in the middle class.

So please, just turn it off.

Even if not, the gate made by Kyungjong doesn't last very long.

Don't worry, I won't hit you in the back of the head or something that's already tight and can run away like cockroaches.

Is it vain heroism? It's fun.

Mo Yong-soo finally smiled.

Then he turned around without hesitation.

We're going back to Moorim as it is. It was unplanned to abandon the Chinese guild already, but it's impossible to do anything like this. Guild's main force must have already been removed, right?

Yeah. As you said, before coming here, I sent them all to the 'Museum'. But, are you going to leave them like that?

I can't do anything with them anyway.

He admits that he misunderstood the effect of the horn.

However, there was nothing wrong with the strength of those three major despairs.

Having fought directly against it, Mo Yong-su was sure of it.

That, no matter how much your opponent is a central figure among the players, it can never change the outcome.

'I don't know what the plan is to help China, but thanks to that, I was able to get rid of one big problem without my hands.'

That's enough.

There was no longer any need for long conversations, no reason to discuss each other's intentions.

After a while, everyone who goes through the gate will turn into a cold corpse.

So Mo Yongsu and Liaoyu disappeared from the tomb.

[Gate duration: 0h:1m:13s]

The status window blinked faster.

Seeing the gates shake, there is really not much time left.

Are you really going to fight them? There must be more harm than good?

Elise, who suddenly approached me, gave me a word.

It was a fight that seemed reckless to anyone, so of course I couldn't understand it.

sure.

It is not a grand reason to help poor civilians.

Neither is the reason to save the Chinese Guild.

'It must have been well recorded.'

Jinhyuk glanced at the recording function of 'Broadcasting System'.

Originally, it was impossible to turn on the broadcast or record during the Masked Ball, but thanks to Moorim's forcible intervention in the system, there was a gap.

Should it be some sort of bug?

Because of this, the fools ran wild and dug their graves diligently.

Now, if these conversations are made public, how will everyone in the world view the Chinese Guild? .

There is no need to explain in detail.

Moreover, the advantage of doing this is not simply that you can fuck off Zhonghua and Moorim.

If I could hunt down the three major despairs, I could monopolize the enormous experience and items they gave me.

'This is a way to catch the rabbit of recognition and level up at the same time. Oh, and the factions that value causes will also be very happy, so Karma will all be focused on me.'

If the stage is this well equipped, you can't go without covering it.

Jinhyuk touched his palms.

Now is the time to select the people who will enter the gate.

The Chinese side took one seat, so there are two left. Of course, one of them is mine.

There is only one seat left.

Jinhyuk's eyes twinkled.

Looking forward to candidates like Flame Infusion.

It was quite natural, but no one came forward.

Ttttttttttttttt.

He clicked his tongue as if to wish for what Cheon Yoosung wanted.

Heh heh heh.

Elise whistled and snorted.

" "

Even Teresa was hesitating.

No, I don't know about the others, but as a human being, shouldn't we voluntarily give a saint?

Still, the name is the European hero who blocked the Amsterdam Outbreak?

Wait, I see... .

no way.

Jinhyuk, feeling a deep sense of discomfort, stopped.

'strange.'

Originally, Teresa was a person who showed the end of altruism.

no matter how difficult the situation

And even if the target was an enemy they had just fought with.

Her sympathy had to be the same.

But are you silent at this time?

Doesn't this make sense?

Doubt has turned to certainty, but there is only one way to get accurate evidence.

[Lv9 'Eye of Gluttony' sees through the target!]

Jinhyuk quickly drew mana to his eyes.

Then that moment.

All doubts were resolved at once.

'Oh.'

Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation.

This is going to be fun

An unexpected and quite interesting variable emerged.
