Episode 659: The Weight of Blood
The transportation proceeded without a hitch.
There was no problem in the first place.
Those being sold as products struggled, but it was meaningless as they were arrested.
“Hmm. “Has it finally arrived?”
I also had no intention of resisting.
I don’t know why I was so careful, but I didn’t go quickly and took a nap.
I think I slept for about 30 minutes at most, but it was enough to get rid of the fatigue.
“this. Evil Eye. “I heard the news, but it breaks my heart to see you like this.”
“As you live in this world, various things happen.”
“Cheer up. Do you know? Will heaven’s fortune follow? It happens sometimes. A survivor.”
It’s terrible.
I wouldn’t know if I didn’t know where the Blood Altar was, but I know everything now.
How many of those handed over as commodities will survive?
Living is a mess. Everyone will die.
-Tuk-tuk.
The soybean merchant I am dealing with looks at me with a subtle expression and taps my shoulder.
It’s like looking at them with pity, but it’s also like smiling.
I’m not sure, but I think I know one thing.
When the job is over, bloody tears will flow from his eyes.
“I thought you could be a good partner, but you did something foolish.”
“Because I’m the type of person who doesn’t go into places once I’ve been stabbed in the back.”
“I offer one last suggestion. There is a product that can replace you. “Come here now.”
As Dreckfree lifts his chin, the gang members drag a guy they didn’t see from the carriage.
I couldn’t see his face because he had a bag over his face, but I knew he was going to be used as a product.
Are you saying you will save my life here and take me with you?
Seeing that the head merchant didn’t say anything, it seems like the conversation was exchanged beforehand.
“That’s an interesting story.”
I was slightly impressed by the unexpected proposal.
If there was no separate purpose, it would be overwhelming.
“I refuse.”
But I had to achieve my goal.
Still, if it comes out like this, I think I will leave some room.
This is a world where we all use each other and are exploited anyway.
Because a guy with brains is good enough to be a partner.
“If I come back alive, let’s talk about it then.”
He raised one corner of his mouth.
“On an equal footing, not under someone else.”
“...Sure.”
The guy didn’t say any more.
Phew. I let out a small breath and looked around.
The place where I and the products were unloaded was the soybean merchant’s warehouse.
Since there are people watching, product delivery takes place inside the building.
We checked the number of people and completed the calculation.
“Move, you useless bastards!”
The leader’s subordinate pushes his back roughly.
People lined up in chains are heading towards a secret passage as if they are being dragged.
They don’t even cover their eyes, probably because they think they’re all going to die anyway.
The process was simple.
I secretly moved along the path I came before and soon arrived at the place where the transmission magic circle was.
“Let’s go in in pairs of three!”
We started dividing the 36 people.
Those who twist their bodies to somehow get the next turn.
Instead, I stepped forward and stood in the center of the magic circle.
“If you’re going to do it, do it quickly. “It’s annoying.”
“At least there was someone who was less trash.”
widely. The guy who hit the club on his palm suddenly hit the head of the product next to him.
He grabs the hair of the guy who falls down with a short scream and throws him to the side.
It may have been something I’ve only done once or twice, but I only got bruises and my forehead wasn’t torn.
Soon after, the other guy got hit on the head and rolled on the magic circle.
“Send it!”
-Oooooh!
The magic circle was activated.
[Move to the Altar of Blood.]
A short phrase comes to mind.
I feel a slight sense of floating and dizziness as my balance becomes tangled.
When my vision returned soon.
“Here it is.”
I was able to arrive at a black space filled with red lights.
People who looked like products were being summoned from all over the place, no matter where they came from.
A person with his face covered and a person with his hands and feet tied.
There was even a guy who was stuck in a coffin.
“What is that again?”
I don’t know what he did outside, but there was also a guy who poured metal into his body and fixed it.
It wasn’t an ordinary guy who would keep his eyes open even after being treated like that.
Among all the strange people, the people who came over with me seemed very nice.
Most of them were no different from ordinary people.
– Kwachang.
First, I broke the handcuffs on my wrists.
It was uncomfortable because it kept getting in my way.
Well first thing.
-Taaak.
I snapped my fingers.
[Time Bomb (SSS) Lv.1]
[Time Bomb (SSS) Lv.1]
[Time Bomb (SSS) Lv.1]
.
.
.
No binge drinking was heard.
When I saw the skill activated, it seemed like it went off properly.
With this, the transmission magic circle that Dao Du-Sang is using cannot be used.
In other words.
“Pay taxes properly and live well.”
“Yes.”
This meant that he could no longer send goods.
For this, I used my authority to raise the time bomb level.
It was useful even when it was S-class, but there were distance restrictions.
As soon as she finished speaking, a message came to mind.
At the same time, the roulette that was set to 0 moved.
-Deuddeuddeuk.
The numbers rotate along with the sound of a huge boulder moving.
At the same time, the huge scale began to tip.
[Unpaid taxes are calculated.]
[Total amount: 578760040 lian]
The number indicated by the roulette.
This is the tax that those who sacrificed us without paying taxes should have paid.
A whopping billion units.
“This is crazy!”
“Does that make sense?”
“How much did you eat, you bastards!”
I hear swearing from all directions.
Choco Choco also narrows his eyebrows.
“This is a bit much.”
“I guess it’s not like this normally, right?”
“It is usually around 400 million lian at most. They can’t just evade taxes either. “Because I can’t handle it.”
It appears that there are limits to tax evasion as well.
“Even this time, there are fewer people. Fortunately, there are some who seem useful.”
Is the number of people sold as a product also a variable?
I was curious, but kept quiet.
because.
[Determine the value of the product.]
[Measure personal power]
[Measure worn equipment]
[Measure the power held]
[Measure the title held]
.
.
.
-Paaaaaaa!
Because the light was aimed at the product.
A feeling of something passing through my whole body.
Chaos stirred for a moment, but the light quickly disappeared.
It didn’t feel like anything had been done to my body, but something had changed.
A translucent window floating overhead.
[Product value: 238800488 Ryan]
Is this my value judged by the system?
An amount over 200 million won.
Is that a lot?
It may seem like a lot.
I looked at the chocolate choco in front of me.
[Product value: 194501330 lian]
This guy is also close to 200 million.
My eyes widen as if the results were equally surprising.
“No you. “What shame?!”
An expression of disbelief.
Is it really that surprising?
When I glance at the others, I understand.
[Product value: 832995 lian]
[Product value: 3195300 lian]
[Product value: 1595210 lian]
.
.
.
Because, except for us, there is no one who has reached the billions mark.
Some people barely exceeded 100,000 lian.
Even if you add up all the people in the 10 million unit, there are less than 10 of them.
If there’s one guy who’s the tallest, it’s him.
[Product value: 83704333 Ryan]
This guy caught my eye from the moment I first arrived.
He was a guy who had molten metal poured all over his body and fixed it.
It would be nice if it ended here.
[There is a target with an extremely high chaos value.]
[The system wants to acquire the product!]
[The product appraisal value increases!]
A beam of light hit my head.
Numbers changing again.
The numbers are rising rapidly.
[Product value: 4,545,013,700 lian]
The number has surpassed 400 million.
A fanfare erupted, as if to congratulate me.
[The appearance of the highest quality product!]
[The amount exceeding the unpaid tax will be distributed to the surviving products, including the product provider.]
[The first product recovery will proceed.]
[Dead people will be settled with tax.]
[Payment of the unpaid amount The poetry event ends.]
The atmosphere of the stone room changes.
Phew. I let out a small breath.
[First product recovery time: 12 hours]
[Blood is weighed.]
A message like a sentence.
At the same time, the skull decorated on the scale emits a red glow.
Everyone takes out their weapons, wondering where they got them from.
I was the one they were staring at.
“If we just kill that guy, we can get rid of most of the unpaid bills.”
“I will kill you no matter what. “If a person gets their head cut off, they die anyway!”
“There is a way to live! “Just kill that guy!”
As I look at hundreds of pairs of eyes full of life, I can’t help but sigh.
This is it.
“It’s only at times like this that it becomes popular.”
That’s okay.
I pulled out my sword at the guys running towards me with a scream.
While raising the corners of your mouth.
“Let’s work together as allies.”
“...Haa. Life.”
Choco Choco closed his eyes tightly.
