Hiding a House in the Apocalypse Episode 350

142. Coins (3)

Just as the battle was about to begin, Cheongbaeksu’s words flashed through my mind.

Cheongbaeksu: This is just speculation. That sparrow looks like a girl, and Suzume looks like her boyfriend.

Now it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a man or a woman.

The culprit of all evil, Sparrow, requested a 1:1 chat with me with administrator rights.

Sparrow: Who are you?

Sparrow Mother: I am your mother

Sparrow: Stop talking nonsense. Who are you? What kind of a bastard are you? You fucking think you can survive on this island doing this?

Sparrow: If I put my mind to it, it wouldn’t be a problem for me to screw you over, so be honest and hit me in the head right now.

Sparrow: Depending on the angle at which you bang your head, I’ll decide whether to let you off or just leave you alone.

Sparrow Mother: Yeah

Sparrow: ?

Sparrow Mother: Sex

I admit that, depending on the frame, my remarks may seem quite frivolous, vulgar, and even childish.

But is it really necessary to speak human language to animals?

I think this is just a chat manner that is tailored to the other person’s eye level.

Anyway, my chat seems to have succeeded in making the sparrow angry.

Sparrow: A sparrow?

Sparrow Mother: Scratch? Yeah

Sparrow: When are you going to die? Get out!

Sparrow Mother :

Sparrow: They only use shitty emoticons

The prelude to full-scale revenge has begun.

This revenge must be accomplished, if only for the sake of Valentine’s favor.

By the way, I am a very persistent person, both in school and on the battlefield, and I neither avoid nor fear the same labor.

Six hours have passed since the battle began online.

“Skeleton. Aren’t you going to eat breakfast this morning?”

“Just a minute. I’m doing something really important.”

“Even though I had some juicy ones today?”

“I’m doing a juicy job. When I’m done, tell everyone that I have some great news for you. It’s hot news from Jeju Island!”

Eating breakfast together is a rule I made, but I can’t help it.

This is a more important moment than ever.

“······.”

Sparrow Mom: Revealing the disgusting behavior of “Suzume,” the administrator of the game bulletin board who never talks about games. (113th tweet)

Perhaps this battle will be the fiercest battle of my life?

Looking back, struggle isn’t always ugly and violent.

A noble struggle can sometimes set the hearts of those who watch on fire.

It’s still like that now.

Margarine Cookies: Isn’t that too much?

A user who agrees with me has spoken up for the first time.

The saying that well begun is half the work means that the very act of beginning something creates the conditions for it to happen.

As soon as the first user voiced his opinion, countless users who had been watching this battle for 6 hours began to speak up as if they had been waiting for it.

GENNA: No, sniping is weird, but isn’t it a bit weird to block someone over 100 times?

Chikimayo: I think you crossed the line a bit.

Sauber: Why don’t you just declare martial law? Haha

Accidental: Honestly, Suzume, that guy was a bit harsh, wasn’t he?

Man Without Tomorrow: Who is deleting it? Reveal some management history. Isn’t this a place where we can freely talk about the Red Archive?

Users rise up.

It’s not a complaint that has built up in a day or two.

For a long time, they too have been aware of the hidden inequalities within the bulletin boards.

I knew but I pretended not to know.

Because it was more important to find daily comfort on the Internet than to make a fuss.

All I did was to turn their gaze back to the anger they had been avoiding.

Sayoko Bangsuk: My friend blocked me? What happened? An armband?

Monty Armpit: This is a bloodbath, and the kid next to me got blocked?

Rose Kimchi Cheese Tangsuyuk: Can’t you just raise an objection? Is our bulletin board really that strict?

BaldRite: You all know that guy SXX is a bit weird, right?

Chadaenamolple: Am I the only one who feels this way in this situation?

Just as pouring water on a blazing fire only makes it burn bigger instead of going out, the flames covering the bulletin board began to grow bigger and bigger.

The flames eventually summon a man.

Quantum Bomb: What the heck is going on?

My classmate, a man who might be Gong Kyung-min.

He liked me, at least on this board.

Anyway, it is clear that he is the real power behind this bulletin board.

Quantum Bomb: Calm down for a second.

Quantum Bomb: Let me take a look at the text.

Quantum Bomb: Who’s at Fault?

Quantum Bomb: So please bear with it for a little while even if it’s uncomfortable.

As soon as he showed up, the entire bulletin board was “frozen.”

The story is that writing articles and comments are blocked.

I take this opportunity to return to base.

It’s not that difficult.

All you have to do is send the message that pops up in the input window of the spare laptop placed on the central toilet to the Viva! Apocalypse! bulletin board.

“······.”

Daughter

I send a pre-written message to my hometown, Viva! Apocalypse!

Foxgames2: Jeju Intranet Access Address Spread! (Link)

Foxgames2: Jeju Intranet Access Address Spread! (Link)

Foxgames2: Jeju Intranet Access Address Spread! (Link)

…

…

Dead3921: What? Jeju Intranet?

Dead11341: Fox Game? A sub-account?

Dead8321: Isn’t it like a virus?

Dead382: Something is suspicious? It doesn’t seem like it’s Foxgame himself.

mmmmmmmmm™ : Even though I don’t know what it is, let’s go~~~!!

Deadman7821: Hey, this is real. This is the real Jeju Intranet.

Anonymous 458: It’s true. Is this real? It’s the real Jeju Intranet.

Dead 66423: Dagaejae~

“······.”

The waves will roll in.

This is a huge tsunami that is difficult for Jeju to handle.

Anonymous458: Wow. What the heck. Those Jeju Island kids. Are you eating and living so well?

Deadman4231: It’s true that celebrities went to Jeju? The video is slow so I can’t check, but it’s full of people who are there right now.

Dead55312: Wow, the rumor that Pilcrum went to Jeju was true? He was serializing a webtoon in Jeju.

Deadman4121: But why is the site so desolate?

Dead3211: It really feels like North Korea.

…

…

In the midst of the storm I had caused, I secretly sent a message to a slightly mean friend who had been holding my hand.

“······.”

Knock knock

SKELTON: Go ahead.

SKELTON: Yeah yeah

It will be quite a heavy burden for the Jeju security officer who entered the position solely through connections and connections, not skills or experience.

*

It was while I was preparing a plan to invade the Jeju intranet confidential folder with Fox Games.

Fox Games told me some truths.

Foxgame: Actually, that’s true. That’s a black thing.

Skeleton: Huh?

Foxgame: No, stop putting that on. Do you know that emoticon is used by psychopaths?

Skeleton: ㅇㅅ:)ㅇ

Foxgame: Okay, that’s it, Blackie.

Skeleton: Black?

Foxgame: Dead.

Skeleton: Really?

It’s not that surprising.

That rat poison is quite toxic.

It is so toxic that a dead rat can be eaten by another predator, and can even kill the predator’s predator.

Fox Games sent me photos as proof that the blackie was alive, but I was also considering the possibility that he was lying.

Foxgame: You lied.

Skeleton: Huh?

Foxgame: It may be a bit ugly, but isn’t it easier to gain favor by putting up an animal shield?

SKELTON: So you think it’s time to be honest now?

Foxgame: Are we doing the same big thing?

Fox Game: Because it’s related to the most important thing, which is the crack.

Skeleton: Yeah yeah

Foxgame: Anyway, if I may say something since I’ve lived longer than you, the truth is not always bright and right.

Fox Game: So what I’m trying to say is, isn’t it huge news that the crack has been closed? Huh? My son got into medical school. My daughter got into the bar exam. Isn’t that a personal windfall?

FOX GAME: But why don’t you tell us such good news?

Fox Game: If you were a government official, you could probably say that all the shit you’ve done so far was for this. The fact that the rift has closed means that we’ve lost something. It means that we can regain hope.

Skeleton: (Skeleton nods) That could be the case.

Foxgame: Something feels off. Truth is like two sides of a coin. Like the story of the black sheep, there are more cases than you can imagine where it would have been better if I hadn’t opened up.

Time passes and now.

Message from unicorn18: Skeleton. Are you there?

A message finally arrived for the unicorn who had been absent for a long time.

At that time, Fox Games had successfully hacked into Jeju Intranet’s confidential folder, extracted data, and was in the process of analyzing the data.

Message from unicorn18: The bulletin board is a total mess right now, and the intranet seems to be going downhill too.

Message from unicorn18: Anyway, a promise is a promise, so I wanted to tell you about something that happened in Jeju.

Message from unicorn18: The rift has closed.

Message from unicorn18: I think the rift was successfully closed as it hasn’t reopened after 72 hours.

Message from unicorn18: Yeah, we closed the rift.

Message from unicorn18: But we are not the first. India was the first to close a rift, and Thailand has also closed one. It seems there have been several cases in Europe as well.

Message from unicorn18: And yet this fact is not well known······.

Message from unicorn18: Closing the rift doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road.

Message from unicorn18: It’s actually the opposite······.

Message from unicorn18: If you see this post, please reply.

When I checked her messages, it had been three hours since she last sent a message.

At that time, I was working with Fox Games on the final interpretation of confidential information extracted from Jeju.

Foxgame: Look at this. Skeleton. The rift is closed. It really is closed!

Skeleton: Right. But what are those numbers written on the blue background? The person’s name. Awaken level. Age, and some unknown data.

As Foxgame says, truth is like two sides of a coin.

Just because it is truth does not mean that it unconditionally brightens the world, brings happiness, and leads us in a better direction.

Some truths breed despair, crush hope, and veil our future with brutal clarity.

“······.”

I already knew.

What is the nature of the register with the numerous Awakens against that blue background?

Why, it’s exactly the same as what I saw when I was on the battlefield.

How could I not know?

Foxgame: This is it.

Foxgame: It’s a death list······.

“······.”

also.

Foxgame: There is an explanation below.

Foxgame: As Thailand warned, we now know that even closing the rift is a weapon of the rift.

Fox Games: All 423 regular Awakens and 1032 support personnel inside are reported missing due to the unexpected closure of the rift.

Foxgame: 3% remaining power.

Fox Game: Fortunately, Kang Han-min and Na Hye-in are among the survivors, but it is clear that the two of them alone cannot close the next rift.

Fox Games: Overall, the cracks have closed, but we’ve also lost our future······.

Fox Game: The need to relocate Jeju Island’s citizens again has arisen, as a certain number of people may cause a re-cracking.

FOX GAMES: According to the Thai and Chinese models, the maximum number of people allowed without cracks occurring is 1,000.

FOX GAMES: Each department is required to establish a transfer plan for excess personnel.

Foxgame: This task must be completed within at least 100 days······

…

…

I think it’s a good thing.

The following story.

Humanity cannot escape destruction.

It’s the truth engraved on the other side of the coin.

In front of him, I and Foxgame are just humans, not much different from each other.
