Login Psychopath - Chapter 203

Episode 203.

A job quest that suddenly appeared!

However, it was a little different from the previous job quests.

If up until now the focus had been on Isin growing and proving his qualities by overcoming the trials and tribulations left behind by his predecessors, this was the opposite.

Because Lee Shin was in the position of cleaning up the mess left behind by his predecessors.

‘What the…?’

Isin furrowed his brows deeply.

Even though it was sealed, a devil was still a devil.

If you wanted to catch the current Lee Shin, you had to be prepared to lose a lot of blood, and even if you were prepared, it wasn’t certain whether you would be able to catch it or not.

Even this was unlikely to be a problem that could be solved as time passed and the person grew further.

This was because the named monsters or NPCs among those named monsters usually had a ‘growth adjustment’ applied.

Bosses and NPCs with growth adjustments will have their level increase evenly as the average level of all users increases.

This was to prevent users from intentionally setting the difficulty level high and beating bosses with high specs without overcoming the difficulty level.

It was also to prevent major NPC powers, such as the knights of the king and nobles, from being turned into air later.

For that reason, I was sure the difficulty would be extremely high… .

There is no particular reward.

There was a failure penalty for such a topic.

It wasn’t revealed what effect the had, but as you can see from the word ‘unwashable’ attached to it, it was probably a permanent debuff.

In other words, it was the kind of thing that should never be accepted.

“… … .”

Yishin stood there blankly for a moment, lost in thought.

It was clear that we had to catch the guy, but the problem was how to do it.

how?

First of all, there was a high possibility that it wouldn’t work alone.

Even if it were possible, I didn’t want to jump into something so dangerous alone.

‘I wish there was someone else.’

To be precise, I wanted to involve other people to share the risk, but still receive the rewards alone.

Lee Shin was deeply lost in thought.

And after much thought, Isin came up with a good idea.

* * *

“Have you finished talking with the village chief?”

As soon as Lee Shin left the mansion, someone approached him and asked.

He was the villager who introduced Isin to the village chief.

Although Isin was startled by the sting, he soon nodded calmly.

“Thanks to you, we had a good conversation.”

“What happened?”

“Well, that’s good. Now that I’ve acquired some information, I think I can ask the church for support.”

“… … !”

[Use skill, …]

[The opponent is fooled!]

“thank you!”

“Haha, no. It is the church’s job to help those in need. You should be thanking the Lord, not me.”

“I will definitely do that. But the village chief… .”

“… He’s inside because he has a headache. Then I’ll take my leave.”

“… … ???”

Isin quickly walked away from the villagers.

The brisk walk soon turned into a slow run… .

-Huh!? Why is this house… Cho, village chief!? Village chief!!!

-… … .

-Village chief! No, he’s really dead…!

By the time the villagers screamed upon confirming the village chief’s death, the race had already begun.

After they had separated by some distance, Isin opened his stomach.

It wasn’t long before he informed the soldiers that they were running past him.

“Catch him! He can’t have gone far yet!”

“Control all entrances immediately!”

“… … .”

“you…!”

“yes?”

“… No. Are you an outsider? Just in case, I’m telling you to be careful. It seems like there’s a murderer in town right now.”

“Oh…! Is there anything I can help you with?”

“hmm?”

The soldier who had been serious throughout Yishin’s words snickered.

“I appreciate the intention, but it is not something an outsider should do.”

“I see. But if you need help at any time, please let me know.”

“…I don’t remember.”

[He showed kindness to those in need.]

[Intimacy with soldiers slightly increases.]

[The soldier remembers your face.]

[I raised my intimacy falsely!]

[Your notoriety will rise dramatically!]

[If the lie is revealed…]

‘good.’

A smile appeared on Lee Shin’s lips.

Not only did you trick the other person, but you also increased your intimacy level in the process.

If you do this, you won’t be suspected much later on.

In return, his notoriety increased significantly, but it didn’t matter because it didn’t change anything for him.

After safely passing the soldier’s checkpoint, Lee Shin went straight to find his group.

* * *

‘There it is.’

The party was waiting outside the territory in advance.

As Lee Shin approached, Kim Hyun-seong asked.

“Did you find what you were looking for?”

“Found it.”

“But it took so long, what happened?”

“It was there.”

“… Hmm, now that I look at it, the village seems to be in an uproar. The soldiers are causing trouble?”

Kim Hyun-seong and Jeras looked at Isin.

He was asking with his expression what was going on inside.

On the other hand, Jung Yu-ra, who had been with Lee Shin for a long time, did not seem particularly curious as she could guess the general situation.

He just stood there and looked at Isin as if he had been waiting for something to happen.

Shin, who was in the center of everyone’s attention, explained what had happened inside.

“therefore….”

Starting with killing the village chief.

Obtained the items needed to break the seal.

In fact, the golem I saw back then was actually a demon.

At this time, the reactions of the three varied.

Jung Yu-ra, who was not familiar with the worldview of the previous work and Avala Online, responded with, “What is that?”

But the reactions of the other two were different.

Since they make games as a profession, they knew the detailed settings of the game, even the settings of the previous game.

“A real devil!?”

“A sweep quest has also appeared.”

“crazy….”

It didn’t just pop up, it was a quest that popped up because I was a descendant of Murseong… .

First, I told you about that part without explaining it.

But it was still shocking even without any mention of that part.

Kim Hyun-seong asked in a voice that was unusually excited.

“So what are you going to do now?”

“What should I do? Of course I have to catch it!”

Jeras answers with similar excitement.

Although the party leader was Lee Shin, it seemed as if there was no room for disagreement. Lee Shin was also certain that he would catch him.

In fact, it was natural to think this way.

Should I complete the quest to release the seal received from the devil?

Or, you could complete the quest to subdue the demon while still sealed.

Any user with common sense would naturally choose the latter of the two options above.

But contrary to Jeras’ expectations, Isin shook his head.

Because Lee Shin’s way of thinking was different from that of ordinary users.

“no.”

“why!?”

“I’ll do both.”

“…what?”

“They’ll both break.”

Lee Shin wanted to make extreme profits.

Release the seal and complete the devil’s quest.

After receiving the reward, I will also complete the demon elimination quest.

Jeras said in surprise.

“Are you crazy? You’re already strong, how are you going to win if you break the seal?”

“Why can’t you do it? If you look at the records, you’ve won in the past too. But now that you’ve been sealed for hundreds of years, you’re probably weaker.”

“That was because of the Royal Army and the Church! No matter how weak we are, it’s obvious that we can’t do it on our own!”

“Then we can call the royal army and the church.”

“… … !?”

It wasn’t an impossible story.

Because Lee Shin had contact with both the royal family and the religious order.

Of course, both were dangerous points of contact built on lies… .

In other words, it was a story that didn’t matter until the lie was revealed.

I guess I could ask for help at least once.

And there was one more reason.

If we proceed with the subjugation quest like this, the five people here will have to proceed with the raid… .

Lee Shin didn’t like this.

Because it was obvious to anyone that it would be dangerous.

“So, should we add more people?”

“yes.”

“Then the reward will be divided?”

As the number of people increases, the reward decreases.

It was a given.

However, Lee Shin only wanted to share the risks and monopolize the rewards.

“…how?”

“Just let them participate in raids and don’t share quests.”

“… … !”

“Or we can take the final blow by any means necessary.”

“… … !!!”

“If you really want to be sure, you can kill them all right before the raid ends.”

“… … !!!!!”

“How to kill? There are many ways. We can attack them directly… No. But that would make us notorious, so we can intentionally troll them to induce an area-of-effect attack pattern, and then retreat ourselves. Or…”

“… … .”

All sorts of methods pour out as if breathing, making it scary to ask!

This is something I have done so many times that I am saying it as a given… .

It wasn’t for Jeras or Kim Hyun-seong.

To them, each and every one of Isin’s methods sounded downright wicked.

‘What does this guy eat and what does he study to find out how to hit someone in the back of the head?’

‘Shouldn’t this be the one who subdues the demons…?’

So much so that the god in front of you looks more like a devil than the actual devil.

Especially to Jeras, who had experienced it firsthand, this appearance of the god was creepy.

‘I was going to pickle this guy…?’

We formed a squad to catch this guy, and we even posted a post on the bulletin board to buy his personal information…

Thinking about it now, it was literally crazy.

Why did I do that?

It was such a crazy thing that I was glad it ended with just one weakness being exposed.

“But everything is good, so what should I call them? The royal army and the religious order came because you called them?”

“I don’t know about the Royal Army, but the Church will come.”

“You’re coming?”

“To be exact, it’s about making them come… . … Are you curious?”

“… Huh?! Oh, no. It’s okay. If that’s what you’re saying, then that’s what it is, I guess.”

It was Jeras who shook his head hurriedly.

Because I had a feeling that if I just listened to it, I wouldn’t be able to handle it later.

Isin, who was smiling faintly, soon became lost in thought again.

Who to call, how much to call, and how to call.

The conclusion was simple.

‘Just having a church is enough.’

As the demons have become weaker due to hundreds of years of sealing, the Kingdom’s army has also become weaker.

As such, it didn’t seem like they would be of much use.

If I had to choose, I would say the Royal Knights are the elite… .

It seemed unlikely that Phillips would give him such high-level troops, no matter how much his close friend asked for them.

Because the conflict with the nobles happened only recently.

So, in Lee Shin’s opinion, it was right to just focus on the church.

And it wasn’t difficult at all to convince the church.

There were a lot of ways.

You can threaten Ian.

You can go there in person and talk to him as a warrior.

You can use the Arthur planted inside the Shining Star to guide their steps this way.

Or do all three.

Naturally, Isin’s choices were all three.

Because that would be the most effective.

‘I guess I’ll have to break the seal first and then go to the church.
