Chapter 127: Actors (1)

People sometimes have moments of realization.

Ah, this isnt right, is it?

Feels like Ive ended up somewhere strange?

That was exactly how Seo Arin felt at the moment.

Doom-chit, doom-chit-

Led by the hand of a fellow actor, she ended up in a club that was dark and gloomy, unlike the bright daylight outside.

Though the thumping beats vibrated through the building, not a single dancer was in sight.

What on earth are we doing here? Why did we come to a club?

Just stop whining and follow me. Ill introduce you to someone nice.

Despite feeling uneasy, Seo Arin had no choice but to follow Hong Sun-ah.

She thought it might just be a feeling, and if worst comes to worst, she could always leave, because:

I have the power to do so.

Being a level 37 Summoner gave her that confidence.

Here we are.

Hong Sun-ah led her to a VVIP-exclusive private room.

Opening the door, a cloud of smoke made them squint their eyes.

Guys, Ive brought her.

Eh? Whos this? Isnt that the famous Seo Arin?

Wow, you really brought her?

Wow, shes even prettier in person than on screen!

Scattered liquor bottles, and a messy table.

People lying around smoking, others sprawled on the floor like drunkards.

Isnt it said that people are left speechless when they are shocked?

That was Seo Arin at that moment.

I came here following Sun-ah, but

She hadnt expected such chaos.

But more bewildering than anything:

Arent these all faces I know?

All six people present were somewhat famous celebrities.

Swoosh-

Who came?

At that moment, their eyes met with an actor who had just come out of the bathroom.

Ku, Ku Yeon-seung senior?

Making them seven.

One more person added.

She was tricked.

Seo Arin glanced at the actors around her.

Malice could be felt in their expressions and eyes.

Theyre all in on it.

Seo Arins gaze naturally shifted to Ku Yeon-seung.

Among them, he was the eldest and a senior; if it was a trap, it was likely under his guidance.

And sure enough.

Haha, Miss Arin. Looking at me like that wont help. Youve probably realized by now that were all in it together.

As if mistaking her gaze for a distress signal, he openly admitted it.

At that moment, Seo Arin thought of a way to escape the crisis.

Ah, maybe

It might work, but she had to try.

Seo Arins expression instantly turned into that of a frightened puppy.

Why, why are you doing this to me?

Ku Yeon-seung laughed as if she was aroused by the look Seo Arins face.

Its nothing personal. Just a survival strategy weve naturally come to learn, you know?

What do you mean?

Players number is reducing by half each round, right? Maybe even more. Havent you ever thought about it?

Ku Yeon-seung smirked.

The items held by those who vanish seem such a waste.

Dont you think? I find it too wasteful. All the gold and items theyve accumulated, all disappearing into thin air. In a world where even shit can be used as fertilizer, the items these guys hold cant be used as anything and just disappear. Wouldnt it be better if they could be used for something, like fertilizer?

Seo Arin belatedly caught on to their intentions.

So youre saying, if a player is going to disappear anyway, why not loot their items? Is that it?

Oh, youve got some brains, huh? You understood all that so quickly. Other actors didnt get it even after I explained.

Other actors? Youve done this to other actors besides me?

Of course. Sadly, Miss Seo Arin, youre just the 33rd victim. Already, 32 seniors, juniors, and fellow actors have given us their items before leaving.

She had no idea.

Seo Arin slumped onto the sofa.

That, that means youve killed fellow actors?

Thats right. Weve killed everyone. Dont worry, Miss Seo Arin. Youll soon follow.

Ah

Seo Arins expression was one of shock as she covered her face and crouched down.

Meanwhile, she secretly summoned two fairies under the table.
