Chapter 26 Grudge, and More Grudge (5)

‘Intermediate potion.’

A recovery medicine that can only be obtained by giving 1500 mana, which is a whopping 100 times more expensive than a lower potion.

This is also the object that convinced Yoon Ji-hye that she had no intention of killing Lee Jun-mo.

‘If I was going to kill him, why would I put this next to him?’

Did you think killing was too easy?

‘It could be that he was trying to retaliate for the rest of his life by leaving him alive.’

I don’t know the exact reason because I haven’t heard directly.

But at least today, it seemed that I knew the primary goal Yoon Ji-hye wanted from this place.

After fiddling with the potion bottle, I turned around before long.

And stopped next to Lee Jun-mo.

The guy was barely alive because he couldn’t die.

Yoon Ji-hye cut off all of his fingers and pierced one of his eyes.

In addition, in the aftermath of the flame magic, more than half of the skin on the body melted away.

“Uh, buy, buy… … .”

Even so, as soon as he found me, he sobbed sadly and prayed.

I want to live, I want to live.

When I heard that, I felt a surge of anger inside me.

‘Captain Yang Jo-cheol isn’t someone who would lie about something like this.’

There is no reason for him to lie in the first place.

Judging from the cruel obsession Yoon Ji-hye showed towards Lee Jun-mo, there is a high possibility that Eun-won between the two is true.

When I realized that, I felt sick to my stomach.

Being a human being myself, it was difficult to completely rule out emotions.

It’s like a person who trampled on and killed someone’s family yearning for their own life.

The disgusting contempt and anger increased every moment, but it was impossible to be swayed by personal emotions.

I opened the lid of the potion, staring at Lee Jun-mo with cold eyes.

“Yes, yes, my lord… … .”

“okay.”

A bastard like you should live.

I just turned the potion bottle upside down and poured out the contents.

When the potion reached Lee Jun-mo’s injuries began to heal in real time.

Literally, the injured part did not regenerate, but only healed.

It was exactly what Yoon Ji-hye had hoped for.

‘The potion’s function is limited to recovery.’

The concept of detoxification or regeneration is not included.

You can tell from the fact that my skin, which had been melted by being covered with acid, has not fully recovered.

Although some new flesh has sprouted, there are still dents in places.

There’s no way that players don’t know the limits of these potions.

That’s why I was able to notice Yoon Ji-hye’s wish right away.

Perhaps Lee Jun-mo hoped that he would continue to live with this terrible look.

I had no intention of condemning the wind as cruel.

‘I don’t even deserve that in the first place.’

It was something that could be understood by looking at the answers to the questions they asked me in the face of someone else’s tragedy.

If that happened to Yeonwoo, I would… … .

‘I wouldn’t have stayed still.’

Maybe she took revenge more brutally than Yoon Ji-hye.

That’s why I feel so dirty.

If it was a wicked person who couldn’t even understand, then it would have been a little better.

I bit my teeth in frustration.

I tried to avoid emotions as much as possible, but I couldn’t help the tantrums that kept rising.

Seeing Lee Joon-mo, who was breathing evenly after recovering from an acute wound, made the anger even stronger.

In the end, I, unable to completely rule out my emotions, stepped up.

Kwajik-!

The sound of something breaking echoed as I stepped between his crotches.

Lee Jun-mo couldn’t scream once and rolled his eyes and passed out.

‘It’s like a bastard who tells all men to disgrace.’

My stomach was still bubbling.

After venting my anger, albeit in a petty way, I was able to control my emotions a little.

It was fortunate.

No matter what I felt here, the conclusion I drew would not change.

Barely holding back my emotions, I took out the padding I had put in my locker and put it on.

Then, carrying Lee Jun-mo and Yoon Ji-hye side by side, they escaped the barrier.

The first thing that caught my eye was three unfamiliar players.

“hmm… … Do you think we came here for nothing?”

“Do you think so?”

The companions who arrived after me stood there as if protecting the man who had fallen on the floor.

“Captain Yang, it seems that the situation has ended here… … Yes, yes, Mr. Kay… … No, it’s Kay. Ah, advanced level can also bind mana. Yes, yes, I understand.”

That moment when one of them picked up the radio and relayed the situation to Yang Jo-cheol.

I met the eyes of a man sitting on the floor.

The man startled, shook his shoulders, but did not avoid my gaze.

Instead of taking my eyes off me, I stared at the man.

His hand, which had apparently been severed, was attached.

It means that the players poured at least intermediate potions.

Did that man know what he said to the player and help him?

– You devil!

The evil voice I heard as I hurriedly ran away belonged to that man.

As I chewed over and over again the words that resembled curses, the corners of my mouth curled up.

Curiously, the more the corner of my mouth went up, the more the man’s head fell.

How long did they maintain such an ambiguous confrontation?

“K.”

Yang Jo-cheol, the head of the group, arrived with a heavy breath.

I handed over the two people I carried from the barrier to him.

“ah… … .”

Yang Jo-cheol’s expression cracked when he saw Lee Jun-mo’s face.

“I thought I would die if I left it alone, so I tried to save it.”

It was a line not to talk about this matter.

You saved something that almost died, so be content with that.

Yang Jo-cheol, who understood the meaning, did not say anything.

Then, the only player holding a walkie-talkie pulled out a magic stone.

When I broke it, a blue chain the size of my forearm rose up.

Right after that, the chain tightly wrapped around Yoon Ji-hye and slowly disappeared.

‘It’s an advanced restraint magic.’

Unlike middle and low-level binding magic stones that can only limit physical movement, that one can also bind magic.

Of course, it’s disposable with a timer.

“We will be able to hold on until Team Leader Yang Hye-won arrives.”

The player who used the binding magic stone declared that the situation was over.

But apart from that, I have another business.

“This is serious advice.”

“yes?”

When I opened my mouth, Yang Jo-cheol immediately responded.

As if he was paying attention to me.

Thanks to that, I didn’t even have to pause and said while chinning the man who was sitting on the floor.

“If you leave that type of person alone, you will definitely become a problem.”

He was a man whose malice toward the player was obvious.

What would happen if such a person met a player with a high chaos level and repeated what he had just said?

‘There must be more people who want to kill than those who endure.’

After that one person dies, everyone will try to tag the player.

Even though it was that man who first provoked the player who was still.

There is no way that Manager Yang Jo-cheol didn’t know about something so obvious to my eyes.

But why did that guy come to the scene after being hired for a player-related job?

It was team leader Han Seok-joon who arrived with Yang Jo-cheol who answered the question.

The story that started with the tone that there was such a situation was obvious.

The longer Han Seok-joon’s words spoke, the more gracefully the corners of my mouth twisted.

“So, today’s event was unexpected even to us… … That, originally, there was no plan to put it into the field… … .”

Team leader Han Seok-joon, facing the growing ridicule from the front, blurted out his words.

“I hear all the strange sounds. Is that woman in full swing?”

I asked Yoon Ji-hye, who was slumped in a stunned state, with a chin gesture, but no one answered.

“If you want revenge, I think it would be better to dig up Han Chang-shik’s body and hack it up.”

Although I had no intention of defending Yoon Ji-hye’s revenge.

At least she didn’t confuse the object of her revenge.

Lee Jun-mo’s family must have also helped cover up his crime.

‘I wasn’t completely innocent.’

It is safe to say that he is an accomplice.

But that man was different from Yoon Ji-hye.

He made an innocent person the object of his resentment to vent his anger.

It would be difficult to say that Yoon Ji-hye was a true good man, but it is clear that the death of that man’s wife had nothing to do with it.

“I never once begged to play this crazy game.”

Most players were just scrambling to live in a game that suddenly intervened in their lives.

But why should I take on the resentment of that guy I’ve never seen before?

‘I’m not going through all this hard work hoping for a treat.’

Still, he is running around with the goal of watching over the earth.

Aren’t most of the players destroying Meseo and getting rid of the scepter?

In the process, they get hurt, cry, and pass the risk of dying.

‘Then there are some really dead people.’

To think that a master who went through so much hardship is being treated as a devil by someone he sees for the first time in his life.

I threw a sharp gaze at the man somewhere between contempt and anger.

The man didn’t even look back at me once.

I decided to be content with that for now.

I continued talking while bending my neck from side to side in a quiet place.

“I’m saying this because I don’t want it to become a big problem, so I hope you will listen to it seriously.”

“… … Let’s keep that in mind.”

“thank you. I think it’s over now, how do I go back?”

“… … We will arrange a flight right away.”

It means you’re not ready yet.

‘but.’

When I arrived, it was just that everything was over quickly, and I didn’t know that things would turn out like this at the time of departure.

Wouldn’t it be strange to prepare a flight in advance for a job that may end when?

“Wait.”

I replied that I would wait patiently and looked back.

Although the burned forest is not visible because the barrier has not been lifted yet.

Thinking about what had happened there made me feel stuffy.

The choice I made at the end was also heavy.

‘But no matter how many times I think about it, this is right.’

Even if you understand Yoon Ji-hye’s revenge, in the end it’s just another person’s tragedy.

Because it wasn’t my tragedy, I was able to calm down in the end.

‘This incident is enough to classify the existence of a player as a threat.’

By now, many of the heads of state around the world should know about the game.

In such a situation, an incident that would highlight the vigilance toward the player is not good.

‘It’s not a problem for players to hit each other.’

People watch lions fighting lions and don’t think that I might die.

Because he is excluded from their fight.

But what if you see a lion eating a man?

‘I can draw much more realistic horror.’

That’s why civilians dying because of the player is the worst.

There were already several civilians killed by Yoon Ji-hye.

I couldn’t let Lee Jun-mo die.

Even more so when I think of the future I saw with the power of Mepheroseta.

‘If you really can’t block it in Bihar and break through.’

The player’s place on Earth must be firm.

‘That way, the initial confusion can be minimized and it can be converted into an exhibition system.’

That’s why Lee Jun-mo shouldn’t die here.

The conclusion reached even before meeting Yoon Ji-hye was clear.

That’s why he purposely filled the inside of the barrier with flames.

You can’t kill it, so it burns you.

It was for self-satisfaction, thinking that this would be atonement for blocking Yoon Ji-hye for my own gain.

I couldn’t hide my bitter ridicule.

Just when I suddenly felt that breathing was a bit difficult, Director Yang Jo-cheol spoke to me.

“Kay, let’s go to the car first. Field crews are going to move, so it would be best to avoid your seat.”

“… … Yes, I understand.”

“I will guide you.”

Yang Jo-cheol, who entrusted team leader Han Seok-jun with the site cleanup, turned around one step ahead.

Immediately after taking four steps after him, the message window at the bottom of the field of vision was updated.

「Speciality capitalism is activated.」

「The system will switch to the support type. Kang Hyeon-woo, the target player.”

It was news that made me stop on my own and raise my eyebrows high into the sky.

“K?”

Because of my sudden stop, Captain Yang Jo-cheol looked back.

But I couldn’t afford to care about him.

After the server was connected, the system, which had been silent all along, moved.

All my nerves were turned to the message window.

‘Why all of a sudden?’

I stared fiercely at the message window with doubts and wariness.

As if to reciprocate, after a few seconds a new message popped up.

“The search begins.”
