Hiding a House in the Apocalypse - Chapter 141
Only Krnovel
Episode 141
Kang Han-min.
He is a disciple of Jang Gi-yeong, just like me.
He wasn’t a very good hunter, but he was lucky and luck saved him from the battlefield.
His call sign is FOOL, which means fool or clown.
Jang Gi-yeong, who hated Kang Han-min extremely, personally put it there.
Kang Han-min is one of the first Awakens, experiencing the largest Alpha Awakening ever observed on the Changping District front, the final defense line of the central district of Beijing.
Na Hye-in
She had two teachers: Ko Jong-beom, who had moved to China, and Jo Du-hong, who had little interest in the power struggle within the school.
She was an outstanding hunter who had stood out since she was in school, and was versatile enough to perform almost any task from long-range, medium-range, and close-range combat.
Her call sign is Alpha 1.
Unlike Jang Gi-yeong, Cho Du-hong had no literary sensibility and preferred the rigid military-style command system.
She is another protagonist of the Double Alpha Awakening, which the Chinese call Gaebyeok (開闢), along with Kang Han-min on the Changpyeong-gu front.
The level of Awaken of these two is unknown, but it is generally accepted that there is no Awaken as strong as them.
There was a very powerful Awaken on the East African side, but the battle situation was so bad that all news was lost amidst the waves of monsters. In reality, Kang Han-min and Na Hye-in were considered the strongest Awaken before the war, and that position remains valid to this day.
Unicorn18 could be one of these two.
Kang Han-min is the most likely candidate for the Golden Fleece holder, as he can speak Korean.
I’ve seen him write strange things on the public computer in the dorm cafeteria.
It’s not just the elephant incident.
Even after that incident, I happened to see a message left by Kang Han-min on a public computer in the dormitory cafeteria.
If I just remember roughly what I remember, it is as follows.
Kang Han Nam: “If you eat it, you get 10 billion”
(A photo of a cute cat face with fake hamburgers attached above and below it)
Kang Han Nam: “The Life of an Alpha Male”
(A scene where a female convenience store employee asks a handsome man for his contact information)
Kang Han-nam: If you call my writing a retard, I’ll make a big decision
(Aggro intended to be abusive comment)
At first, I couldn’t understand why this guy was writing like this, but as I read his writing, I felt a strange sense of addiction, and towards the end of my dorm life, I even intentionally sneaked a peek at his writing whenever he was away.
Na Hye-in, like me, hardly ever used the Internet.
I was so bad at computers that I couldn’t even print documents properly, so I would ask my junior, Woo Min-hee, to do it for me.
Every time, Woo Min-hee would laugh brightly and secretly make fun of him.
“Senior – What should I do if I don’t even know how to do this?”
Since dorm life was so boring and the only place with internet access was the public computer in the cafeteria, she sometimes sat in front of the computer and did something.
I glanced at her as I pretended to pass by her site, and saw that she was mostly looking at Chinese news sites.
Unlike me, she was fluent in Chinese and was very interested in Chinese current affairs.
“……”
In my opinion, Unicorn 18 is closer to Kang Han-min than Na Hye-in.
That’s not a problem.
The real question is whether Unicorn 18 is really Kang Min.
The golden fleece he offered could be a fake.
News of people making fake Golden Fleece and using it as a means of impersonation was a frequent rumour in our hunter community even before the Awaken appeared.
There were also many cases where so-called “hunter maniacs” would make fake golden fleece by imitating various types of equipment while cosplaying as hunters.
First of all, the Golden Fleece of Unicorn 18 has not yet been certified by Vivabot.
There is talk that Unicorn 18 may have been a scam.
I think it’s more likely that he committed fraud rather than being strong.
I contacted Da-jeong to make sure.
“I have a favor to ask.”
“Yeah. What? Should I go there?”
“No, you don’t have to come, do you know Unicorn18?”
“Oh, him.”
“I’m curious to know the identity of Unicorn 18.”
“Why him all of a sudden? He’s just an otaku aggro guy. He doesn’t really want to communicate.”
After all, contacting Da-jeong was an excellent choice.
As someone who has been in the community since elementary school, even if you ask him a little, you can get a glimpse of his knowledge.
I asked her.
The meaning of an aggro player who does not want to communicate.
It didn’t make sense to me.
The dictionary definition of an aggro-monger is to attract people’s attention by doing strange things, but it felt like a contradiction that such an aggro-monger would not want to communicate.
“That’s right. Skeleton.”
Dajeong kindly told me about her internet philosophy.
“I want to yell at random people and make them turn around. But I don’t want to have a personal relationship with the random people who turned around like that. Do you know what the difference is?”
“Hmm.”
I don’t know.
What is the difference between the two?
“It’s not an exact metaphor, but if you were a lonely hedgehog, would you understand? It’s like a lonely hedgehog who calls other animals by screaming loudly, but because it has thorns, there’s a gap that can never be narrowed by the distance of its thorns?”
“I don’t think so.”
I expressed my opinion honestly.
“why?”
“Have you ever cosplayed as a skeleton at our house before?”
“Yeah. I remember. It was fun.”
“After that, that unicorn bastard started pestering me.”
“okay?”
“Are you saying that he clung to me, even sending me notes while winking?”
“I think so.”
Da-jeong said with a confident voice.
“If you had taken one step closer to Skeleton, he would have backed off?”
“okay?”
“Yeah. That probably wasn’t his intention in the first place. Now that we’re on the subject, how about Skeleton pretending to be a woman and approaching him? Yeah? That would be fun. That would be.”
“Oh, no, there’s something you have to do before that, right?”
Since his days as a professor, Lee Park-gyu preferred to accumulate a lot of data before engaging in any fight.
Our mentor Jang Gi-yeong used to babble that hunters had to fight with guts and improvisation at each moment, but in my experience, thorough preparation and information were the best weapons that guaranteed not only success but also survival.
A dismantling analysis of the Viva! Apocalypse! Korean bulletin board user, Unicorn 18, is a necessary step before approaching him directly.
There is only one way to analyze Unicorn 18
These are the thousands, if not tens of thousands of posts and comments he left on the bulletin board.
Even if you are an aggro-monger who does not want to communicate, if you write thousands of nonsense posts, your true feelings will eventually come out one or two times.
Even this thorough Park Gyu-ja had written several articles that could have gotten Woo Min-hee caught.
Product story, etc.
Kang Han-min is now being treated almost like a religion, as if he were a savior, but if it were him, he would definitely have some weaknesses.
I even know that Unicorn 18 was active on the Palenet – Jeju Island bulletin board.
Message from unicorn18: Nuna! m This little shit is trolling on a place called PaleNet Jeju Island bulletin board!
If you look at the message that Unicorn sent when I was a netcam addict in the past,
It was while I was working on the unicorn analysis plan with Da-jeong.
“Hey Skeleton.”
Defender joined our conversation.
“That sounds fun. Can I help you?”
“The more hands the better.”
There is no reason to hesitate.
Defender has two satellite internet devices.
That is, three people can conduct systematic investigations in their respective fields.
“Defender, can you please search for Palenet? You can find Unicorn18 on Jeju Island bulletin board, Bulpan, or other popular bulletin boards. It will be easy to search there by using the nickname as is.”
“okay.”
In this terrible winter, where temperatures drop below -30 degrees Celsius at night, even the greatest defender in the world is just a user with nothing to do.
Even if you try to authenticate, there has to be someone to kill to authenticate.
He doesn’t even provide on-site service unless it’s a very special case.
That’s how the dismantling and analysis of unicorn18 by the three Defender siblings and I began.
An unexpected fact was discovered.
This guy, who seemed like he’d be on the bulletin board almost 365 days a year, was only active on the bulletin board for 120 days.
About once every three days.
There have been times when I was inactive on the bulletin board for more than two weeks.
The reason I thought he was active on the bulletin board every day was because on the days he appeared on the bulletin board, he wrote 10 times more posts and comments than others.
Defender’s younger brother found a problem in the data I was not familiar with, which was the ratio of posts and comments on Unicorn18.
“That unicorn guy. The ratio of text to comments is 20:1.”
Da-jeong’s voice as she said those words was noticeably more serious than usual.
“Comment fee?”
“Post-comment ratio. That means for every twenty posts you write, you get one comment.”
“Is that a problem?”
“A comment is something you leave on someone else’s post, right? In other words, it’s proof that you read someone else’s post and sympathized with it in some way. That’s it. On the other hand, a post is a one-sided way of expressing your thoughts or opinions to an unspecified number of people.”
“……hmm.”
“Not a flaw, but look closely? Skeleton writes a lot? Does he leave a lot of comments?”
I tend to comment more.
When I first started using the bulletin board in earnest, I enjoyed reading other people’s posts and sympathizing with them more than writing my own.
The story I started writing in earnest after that.
Actually, even now, I write more comments than articles.
“There are a lot of comments.”
“Usually, that’s how people are. And comments are a sign of sympathy, right? Skeletons also feel good when they get comments, right?”
“That’s true.”
“But that unicorn guy only says what he wants to say. He doesn’t even leave comments. He doesn’t look at other people’s opinions and just stares at the wall and says what he wants to say.”
“……”
“If the ratio of your posts to comments is 1:1, you’re considered a weird person. If it’s 1:2, you’re also a weird person. The normal Maginot Line is 1:4.”
“Were there any research results like that?”
“This is common knowledge on large-scale Internet bulletin boards. Anyway, regardless of the bulletin board, the general consensus is that anyone with a post-comment ratio exceeding 1:1 is not normal.”
“……”
“Even the unicorn guy is 20:1? He’s not human.”
Da-jeong confirmed it.
“That’s why I said he’s a troll who doesn’t want to communicate. He doesn’t care if people comment on his posts. He’s a really problematic person.”
Later, after personal investigation, Defender’s text-to-text ratio was 1:1, and this skeleton was 1:12. Anyway, Defender’s younger brother decided that Unicorn 18 was not a normal person by the standards of the internet world.
If you look at the posts he makes, he is definitely not an ordinary user.

unicorn18 You guys, make sure you have toilet paper before you poop
unicorn18 I hate the same meal as three meals a day⋯⋯
unicorn 18: Where is there no real wife? (Duribunduribun)
⋯
⋯
Half diary, half anime-related, the rest is just crappy nonsense that I can’t even bear to open my eyes to read.
But, looking at these thousands of unicorn posts, I feel like this guy is thorough.
If you write thousands of articles, you’ll probably be able to reveal at least a little bit of your reality, but Unicorn18 has written so many articles and hasn’t revealed even a single clue that would reveal even a little bit of your personal information.
“…….”
Unicorn18, which used to look funny, looks different.
It was inhumane, as Da-jeong said, to be able to write so much while completely castrating “oneself”.
It was inhumane, as Da-jeong said, that he could write so much while completely castrating his “self.”
Perhaps the secret is that, like me, they don’t crave attention at all, but even unicorns don’t talk about the hardships or petty problems of everyday life.
The story is that his writing lacks “humanity.”
The only human thing is that the unidentifiable worm has hardened, but that’s not a topic I really want to delve into…
“I looked through all the bulletin boards in Jeju Island. There was only one post by that unicorn guy.”
Defender sent me a link.
I followed the link and read the post that Unicorn had posted on the Palenet Jeju Island bulletin board.
unicorn18: sky.sky
A lyrical title that doesn’t sound like a unicorn.
There was just a single photo there, without any text.
There was an indecipherable blue sky and an open field that seemed out of focus and blurry.
Could it be the time when the sun sets or rises?
If you look at the red traces of sunset left here and there in the sky.
The subject that caught the camera’s full focus was a single cosmos flower blooming on a gravel field with little grass.
The moment I saw the cosmos, I muttered a woman’s name without realizing it.
“Na Hye-in?”
The only medium connecting me and her, with whom I have never really talked or had any contact, is Cosmos.
That fact probably doesn’t make much difference to me or to her.
“That’s right.”
I asked Da-jeong.
“huh.”
“This is from someone who has never used the internet in his life.”
“huh.”
“Can I suddenly turn into an internet freak like Unicorn 18?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why?”
“There are often cases where people who are fine at work do strange things on the Internet. I think there were men who pretended to be women even 20 years ago.
Defender, who had been silently listening to our conversation, opened his mouth.
“Hey. Skeleton. Do you think the Unicorn is your friend?”
There is no need to lie here.
“…I think so.”
“People change. Even Jongcheol, who I live with…”
“Please kick me out!”
Although Da-jeong interrupted, Defender just laughed it off and continued talking.
“When I was in China, I was a hot-blooded patriot.
He even pointed a gun at the team leader who told him to retreat and abandon his injured comrades.
Me too, right now I’m in a position similar to a butcher, but we had to do dissections at school, right? Back then, I was so scared I couldn’t do anything that I failed.”
“okay?”
“Everyone changes. Skeleton, you too, Viva! Apocalypse! You weren’t like this when you first started, were you?”
For a moment, my heart ached.
Indeed, this Park Gyu-do has also undergone tremendous changes since the war began.
To the point where anyone who knows me would probably never recognize me.
Maybe the reason Woo Min-hee doesn’t recognize me is because of the Andromeda-level gap between me during my Professor days and me during my Skeleton (later) days.
But the truth is not revealed by circumstantial evidence alone.
“……”
There is no other way to uncover the truth than to contact Unicorn 18, the problematic human with a writing-to-comment ratio of 20:1.
