139. The Weight of Life (3)
Message from Foxgames: I had something to discuss anyway.
I felt ambivalent when I saw that he didn’t block me and instead approached me proactively.
One is the relief that communication is possible.
The other one is,
Message from Foxgames: Are you watching my puppy?
A familiar roughness.
The initial feeling of relief quickly faded and was replaced by a feeling of awkwardness.
Message from Foxgames: I just picked this up without thinking much about it.
I know what kind of person this is.
While being more true to one’s instincts than anyone else, one wears a mask of hypocrisy to avoid being caught in the act.
At that point, I had a vague idea of what this person was going to say.
Message from Foxgames: The forum reactions were so hot that I uploaded a sequel without realizing it, but he’s a mutation, right? :/
Message from Foxgames: He’s still a baby, but he’s still so scared. I wonder when and how he’ll bite me.
He tries to kill his dog.
They wrote it to gain popularity for a short while on the bulletin board, but then they realized it couldn’t be handled, so they’re trying to kill it.
I don’t particularly advocate animal rights, nor do I empathize with animals, but I don’t like people who treat life like an object.
His intentions are clearly disgusting.
But the ugly intention is consistent with my intention, despite some omissions.
“······.”
Knock knock
SKELTON: You want to kill that dog, right?
Message from Foxgames: I don’t want to kill you, but I do need some safety measures.
Clicked his tongue.
It is an expression of clear antipathy and contempt.
Why do you keep beating around the bush?
The ugly intentions are so clear, do you think you can cover them up with a piece of hypocrisy?
I cannot understand that way of thinking, and I do not want to understand it.
SKELTON: Are you telling me to kill him? Or are you telling me not to kill him?
Message from Foxgames: Oh. Oh. That’s why you hear young people say they’re impatient.
Message from Foxgames: I’m looking for a way for me and that guy to coexist safely, even if it doesn’t kill him.
SKELTON: You know?
Message from Foxgames: ?
SKELTON: There’s a way to tie them up so tightly that they can’t move, but wouldn’t that be dangerous if they were to break free? So we’d either cut off their limbs, pull out all their teeth, or attach a stake or electrical device that could pierce their heart at any time. We’d have to prescribe some kind of extreme poison.
Message from Foxgames: Isn’t that too cruel?
SKELTON: What exactly do you want to do?
Message from Foxgames: I don’t understand the meaning of the question? :/
SKELTON: If you want to keep cosplaying as a good guy on the message boards, keep doing it. I won’t stop you.
Message from Foxgames: No, but I’m still raising it. Didn’t you see my post? How many people follow me?
SKELTON: Do you think that dog is grateful to you for raising it?
SKELTON: That’s why you’re saying this to me, isn’t it?
Before the war, a Chinese authority on animal psychology analyzed the reasons why mutations kill the humans they raised:
Mutations can sense and perceive human kindness like other animals. However, the reason they kill the humans they raised is because they understand the true intentions behind the kindness of humans.
It’s an extreme example, but it’s like an adult man offering money to a girl on the street under the pretense of helping her, while behind the scenes demanding her body.
The conclusion is simple.
SKELTON: All I can tell you is how to kill a dog.
There is a manual created by Lee Sang-hoon.
The procedure, called the “Farewell Preparation Process,” describes a method by which a companion dog or cat undergoing mutation can be disposed of slowly, painlessly, and with sufficient time for the family to consider.
I disagree with the idea that there is no pain.
Because Lee Sang-hoon’s manual uses poison on animals undergoing mutation.
Now the baton has been passed to Fox Games.
Anyway, it’s not me who takes action, it’s him.
Slurp-
After taking care of business in the central toilet, I sat back down at my computer to find that I had a new message.
Message from Foxgames: Teach me
I expected it.
I never thought this guy would make a decision like this.
Of course, I also expected that this friend would ask me another favor.
Message from Foxgames: Oh, this is our secret?
“······.”
Knock knock
SKELTON : Fuck you :/

“A puppy. It’s cute.”
I asked Sue to read Fox Game Dog Breeding and what she thought.
“But. Isn’t that a mutation?”
Suu grew up strong as expected.
Have a realistic attitude enough to survive this apocalypse.
Although he has been strongly criticizing Fox Games for some time, we must not forget that this man is also a pure-blooded destructionist.
Foxgames: Preparing for a breakup (1)
Fox Games has posted a new article.
The content, unlike the bright, dreamy, and cute posts so far, clearly revealed the dark reality that surrounds us.
Foxgames: I found the black cat staring at the back of my head with its teeth exposed through the indoor CCTV. Its gaze was like that of a wild beast hunting for prey. But when I turned around, it was wagging its tail at me as if nothing had happened.
Foxgames: I couldn’t sleep for several nights······.
Foxgames: I keep thinking about the Mutation family murder case I saw on the news before the war.
Foxgames: This is something I’ve never told anyone before, but I have a family that I’m separated from······. I’m still looking for them, but until I find them, I plan to survive by force, through evil, and through brute force······.
Foxgames: Blackie. My family is truly precious to me, but I don’t want to die.
As expected from a master of good-natured cosplay, Foxgame also did a great job of portraying the pitiful person.
Even though he chose the option of killing the dog he had raised himself, the response from forum users was favorable.
Dead3592: Then there’s nothing we can do.
Dead 41911: The black one was cute······ㅠ
Dead8821: I also killed a dog I was raising because the country told me to. It didn’t even show mutations. I couldn’t help it. Dogs are precious, but they’re not as important as the lives of me and my family, right?
Anonymous458: Hmm······ Is this finally the end?
Dead1215: I totally understand your feelings! Foxgame! Get rid of it and make a better game! I used to enjoy your games!
….
…
That’s why image making is so important.
Anyone can see that what this Fox Game kid is doing is no different from a YouTuber who brings in a poor dog to use as content and then throws it away like an old pair of shoes in order to suck up past views.
Considering the times, Fox Game’s actions may be understandable, but as someone who knows the whole story of this black incident, I don’t see it as a good thing.
But I can’t be free from that ugliness either, because I also participated in Fox Games’ new content – the plan to kill the dog I was raising.
Here, let’s refer to the post for Foxgame’s new series, “Preparing for Farewell.”
In a short, low-quality video, strictly scaled to 640X400 resolution, a blurry man sighs and stares at a black dog panting with its tongue out in a fairly large bunker.
The narration flows.
– If each life has weight, can we measure it?
Foxgame, whose face is not revealed, opens a large package of bulk sausages, apparently imported from the United States, with an industrial cutter.
The black mutation puppy wagged its tail upon hearing that sound.
Fox Game pets the puppy and amicably places sausages on both his plate and the puppy’s plate.
Of course, there are a lot of mutations.
But while serving, Fox Game opens a small package out of sight of the dog and puts it on the sausage.
It’s rat poison.
This product is not domestically produced, but is produced in South America, where rodent damage is more severe, and is much more toxic than in Korea, where regulations are strict.
The reason I don’t know is because I also participated in the group purchase of John Nae-non.
The meal begins.
Foxgame happily eats cheap bulk sausages from the same package as the mutation dog.
The narration appears.
– How nice it would be if there were a scale to measure the weight of life.
– At least my scales are tilted toward me.
Foxgame’s gloomy post ends with the familiar phrase, “to be continued.”
“······.”
Knock knock
SKELTON: You kept the right amount and didn’t get caught, right?
I sent a message to Fox Games.
Fox Games responded.
A message from Foxgames: Of course.
Although scholars have different opinions, it is said that the intelligence of animals that have undergone mutations cannot be higher than that of humans, but their ability to reason through cognition is comparable to that of humans.
According to him, it goes beyond simply seeing and recognizing things and acting accordingly, to the point where one can grasp the background principles that make those things move and understand the entire phenomenon through one’s own thinking.
Therefore, when deceiving a mutation, you must do so as if you were deceiving a person.
Foxgame opened the package and ate the same meal in front of the mutation to reassure the mutation he was going to kill.
That human is eating the same thing as me.
Therefore, even if something goes wrong with their body, the mutation does not think that the food is poisoned.
This is how an elderly Indonesian couple killed the monkey they were raising when it showed signs of mutation.
Lee Sang-hoon imported the method and spread it as if it was his own development, reaping the fruits of his labor.
Whatever the circumstances, it is clear that the Lee Sang-hoon style is effective in disposing of mutations that are still under human control and dependent on humans for food.
Perhaps the rest of Foxgame’s posts will depict the mutant dog slowly dying after eating poisoned food.
“really.”
Bang Jae-hyuk’s mother must have seen that and brought up the topic of Fox Games at the dinner table.
“We have reached a time when people cannot trust animals, and animals cannot trust people.”
“······Isn’t that better than beating him to death with a club?”
Bang Jae-hyuk snorted and Ha Tae-hoon chimed in from the side.
“Oh, Jaehyuk also picked up a dog somewhere and raised it, but as soon as it showed signs of mutation, he beat it to death with an iron pipe.”
“But you said we sent our hundred billion at once without any pain?”
As you can see from the reactions around them, Foxgame’s post had a subtle effect on the bulletin board as a whole.
The ones who were most affected were, of course, the latecomers to the trend.
berkut_break : My dog died. It was heartworm.
mmmmmmmmm™ : (M9 Cooking) Maryland Style Cat Stew
The copycats who had been following Foxgame gave up their animals when their leader Foxgame gave up his puppies.
However, I sent a direct message to Emgu to confirm the authenticity.
SKELTON: (Skeleton contempt) Did you really eat the cat?
mmmmmmmmm™ : (M9 sweating) No. I’m still raising it······.
mmmmmmmmm™ : How can you kill something this cute······.
SKELTON: Well, you know, when the time comes, right?
mmmmmmmmm™ : I know······. The Hope knows the answer too······.
That’s not the only reason I sent a message to Emgu.
There’s one more thing I’d like to confirm.
SKELTON: I know that Kim Byung-chul’s daughter raises a mutant dog.
mmmmmmmmm™ : Huh? How did you know?
SKELTON: Are you still raising it?
mmmmmmmmm™ : No. I killed him.
SKELTON: ?
mmmmmmmmm™ : I saw someone shoot someone with a gun.
SKELTON: When?
mmmmmmmmm™: Not long after the new Fox Game series was uploaded.
I immediately tried to talk to Kim Byeong-cheol.
“Ah, Park Hunter!”
Kim Byeong-cheol welcomed me with a hearty laugh.
“I have been able to do it because I have a lot of time!
I felt fortunate.
At least the tragedy that would have befallen the Kim Byeong-cheol family was prevented.
But as strong as the sense of relief was, a chill ran down my spine.
I asked.
“Oh, that one? It’s obvious. I got sick of it. He was cute, but he was cold-hearted. He’s like a stray dog. He acts indifferent when he’s eating, ignores me when I call him, and just shows his teeth. That’s when I saw the Fox Game post.”
“I told you to tell Yerim thank you anyway! I’ll be flying out soon!”
As he said, a message came to Kim Ye-rim.
Message from armeegruppe_B: (Yerim notices) Skeleton, I’m sorry for saying bad things.
Message from armeegruppe_B: I unblocked you, so you’re not mad, are you?
Message from armeegruppe_B: After thinking about it carefully, I realize that what the adults said was right. I was so impulsive back then!
Message from armeegruppe_B: But then I realized that he could attack not only me, but my dad and my guys in the unit too.
I was reading Kim Ye-rim’s message, which was filling the screen with an expressionless face.
A new message has arrived.
Message from Foxgames: Skeleton······.
It’s a fox game.
He stared at his message with a face that didn’t look much different from when he read Kim Ye-rim’s message.
Soon another message filled the screen, competing with Kim Ye-rim’s message.
Message from Foxgames: I can’t do this anymore······.
The moment I saw that message, I straightened my posture, straightening my back which had been leaning dangerously backwards.
I swallow and look at the next message.
Message from Foxgames: The guy is suffering, he’s in so much pain that he can’t even breathe properly, but when he sees me, he wag his tail forcibly······.
A message from Foxgames: It’s only been a few days, but he was the one I fed and raised, and he only looked at me······. When I was having a really hard time, he gave me strength······. In real life and online.
In a previous post, Foxgame talked about the weight of life.
He also said that he wished there were a scale, or libra, to weigh life.
I don’t know either.
How should we measure life?
The only methodology I can suggest is quantification by ability.
This does not satisfactorily explain the situation.
Here we have no choice but to make the age-old excuse of history that everything is relative.
Why don’t serial killers value the lives of their own families?
Message from armeegruppe_B: You want to see that mutation die? Oh my god, he tried to bite the soldier brothers or something?
Message from Foxgames: What should I do? How can I save······?
The weight of life felt by each person is different.
Perhaps what determines that weight is not a person’s good or evil, but the concentration of their loneliness?
