RUST -539

What should I say about this?

Maru felt dizzy when he saw the speech bubble floating above his head.

“under-.”

Let’s see if we can get this too.

The feeling you get when the floor, revealing its life, gathers strength.

A stabbing murderous intent. As I rolled to the side in the same position as I was about to stab him, a gunshot struck me right there.

The bullet marks on the snow were clearly visible.

‘Ms. Kim?’

Taking advantage of Maru’s slumped posture, N.P. Maru’s dash continued.

A sword attack using acceleration after a dash.

One hit. Avoid.

Separation. Flowing.

Through this fucking fucking, the flesh was shot from afar.

Gunfire followed.

Taang-

Ting-

Let’s choose defense instead of counterattack, and Enpi Maru’s sword slash comes in through the gap.

Maru’s forehead wrinkled as he had no choice but to switch to defense against the continuous attacks that came rushing in like flowing water.

‘Have you grown in the meantime?’

How many times have you cut it and it’s grown so much?

Because it’s a quantum computer? But it’s still a long way off…

Taaang-

Teeing-

Special bullets that bounce off reflexively.

The impact was absorbed by Eclipse, but as the name suggests, the incendiary armor-piercing bullet burst into flames. As Maru’s vision was briefly blocked, N.P. Maru made a decisive move.

Taaaaang-

Tank-

The movement of Enpi Maru, who poured energy into Eclipse by blocking Kim Yang’s sniping in the middle, changed.

Woooooooooo-

The sound of the Eclipse, which completely transformed the impact of the 12.7mm bullet into vibration, the NP Maru’s foot shaking as it took a step forward, and the killing intent felt from far away all mixed together, causing time to slowly pass.

‘Look at this kid.’

The NPP baby sniper bullets are cut in the middle and used as energy.

okay.

‘Come-‘

Even if your view is obstructed.

Even if the sniper who made the pair is Ms. Kim.

If you lose to data scraps from a year ago, what does that mean?

Across the field of vision obscured by flames and smoke, the movements of the Enpi Maru were clearly read.

cut?

Or stab?

The guy’s shoulder that was briefly seen in the slow-moving time and jerky space.

NP Maru’s arm did not open.

That means stabbing!!!

Soo—gagagagak!

Kicking-kieeing!

Waves interfere and cancel each other out, and the snow on the ground is blown away.

Eclipse and Eclipse, both of which had consumed a great deal of shock energy, gnawed at each other, creating sparks.

A sharp shock wave blew away the white, billowing fog of snowflakes.

Leaving behind the slowly flowing time and space.

The emotion of victory bloomed on Maru’s face as he managed to kick away Maru’s finishing move that was headed straight for his heart.

[I won. Ten days.]

Starting with parrying the blade of the Enpi Maru

Maru’s Eclipse slid into Enpi Maru’s open chest.

Kaaaak-

In the slowed time, the sad cry of a crow as if telling it to stop

The bulletproof and swordproof capabilities of the new Ripper suit couldn’t stop Maru’s stabbing.

Brrrrrr- Maru’s blade slowly dug into Maru’s chest as he desperately tried to push it away.

Drops of blood spurt out like an orange peel being torn open and the granules inside bursting.

Kwaaaaang!

Even a bomb that suddenly exploded from the rear could not stop the floor.

Maru ignored the shock that shook his spine and drove the blade straight in. He felt the blade pierce through his ribs, pierce through his lungs and back, and exit through his back.

[Just go away.]

“······.”

As I pulled out the Eclipse handle by turning it 90 degrees, the NP Maru with the hole in its chest stumbled backwards.

Ugh-

Boom! Boom!

Danger signals felt everywhere.

The slow-flowing time was shattered by the simultaneous explosions here and there.

Kaaaaaaah–

As the sky was filled with the loud cawing of crows from all directions, a crow plummeted down and dropped napalm between the NP floors.

Whoosh whoosh!

As the floor blocked by flames retreated, the crows’ precision bombing continued as if they had been waiting.

Thousands of crows floating in the sky began to swarm Maru like a tornado. Maru laughed in vain at the malice of the flock that must have numbered in the hundreds, if not thousands.

‘Ha- These kids···.’

Maru covered his head with Eclipse as he shot out a murderous intent that seemed to give him no time to worry about the crow.

Teeing-

Maru, who had deflected the bullet aimed at his temple, turned his head away with an uneasy feeling.

Not in the direction of a distant sniper, but in the direction of the napalm flames right next to him. The uneasy feeling he felt beyond the blazing flames tickled Maru’s chest.

As if responding to Maru’s gaze, the murderous intent gradually grew behind the flames and black smoke. The deep smell of death pierced through the flames and smoke.

‘You didn’t get sick?’

Across the blazing fire, a scene flashed by of Enpi Maru’s chest, with a huge hole in it, healing in real time.

Kujik-

Enpi Maru, who had stepped on and broken an empty bottle that had been thrown onto the muddy floor, began to show his teeth and spew murderous intent.

‘Not only crows for Mr. Kim, but also rapid healing medicine?’

As Enpi Maru wiped the blood flowing from his mouth with his palm and regained his posture, a flock of crows began to circle the sky as if escorting him.

“Ah- the difficulty level is fucking high.”

Holding the Eclipse tightly, Maru couldn’t help but praise it.

Wow-

Clank-

Wow-

Clank-

As if responding to that rave review, the mechanical sound engulfed the surroundings. The Royal Guard and Knights, fully armed with armored exosuits, turned toward the floor with a burning sense of fighting spirit.

What the fuck-

Kaaaak-

The ground turned into red mud.

······

······

······

[YOU DIED.]

======

======

Kim Yang glared at Na Ju-yeon.

After staring at me for a long time, she opened her mouth in a low voice.

“Are you doing this on purpose?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Be honest with me. You’ve been nagging me all this time, haven’t you?”

“Rather than saying it’s hanging on… um. So, wouldn’t it be better to say it’s a diversification of risk?”

Diversification of risk?

Who made it so dangerous? You’re a bomb all by yourself.

Na Ju-yeon noticed that Kim Yang’s eyes were turning menacing and quickly changed the subject.

“It’s been over 5 minutes since it started, and it looks like it’s still going on.”

“······”

The time ratio was 6 times different from reality, meaning that I was holding out in the game for 30 minutes.

Kim Yang, who was quick-witted, noticed that Na Ju-yeon was changing the subject, but she just ignored it. It wasn’t something to fight about now.

‘If the game goes well, I feel good and I can just move on···.’

Why not? If the game goes well, you become more generous or something. So Maru should enjoy the game so he won’t get tired in the future. Kim Yang first went over the scenario.

“···Are you still starting from scenario number 1?”

“Yes. First of all, I didn’t have time to fix that part.”

“How can it not be changed? It’s really not the starting point of scenario 1.”

“Once you start playing, it’s hard to change. And you can’t change the settings while playing. It’s linked to security.”

Kim Yang’s eyes widened slightly at the word security. Now that I think about it, isn’t it using brain waves to connect? This is more dangerous than I thought.

As if she had just overheard the security story, Ms. Kim continued her story calmly.

“While we’re on the subject, what kind of game is this from the start? To be frank, it’s just a symbol to tell you to die. Or not?”

Na Ju-yeon just smiled faintly. That was because the most effective scenario progression was the result of calculations with a quantum computer and a bunch of grapes.

Of course, that has nothing to do with Kim Yang and Maru’s play.

Since Kim Yang and Maru’s characters were placed in the places where their own characters were created without setting separate scenario goals, no one knew how things would progress from there.

“You broke it the second time you said that.”

“Hmm. Hmm. Well, that’s true. There are no easy quests. That’s not true.”

It was equally difficult for Kim Yang. When he started a new game with his own character, scenario 1 automatically became his starting point.

At the first starting point, he avoided death by hitting his head right away, but immediately faced a crisis. Ms. Kim N.P. was in the Ark Tower that he entered following the N.P. Maru.

[What is this?]

‘······.’

The realization I got from suddenly being Kim Yang VS Kim Yang. ‘Ah- I was such a pitiful bitch.’ It was really horrible to meet myself in person.

‘Then what about Director Yu’s clones?’

If you cooperate well, your passing rate will gradually improve?

As her thoughts began to wander, Ms. Kim shook her head.

“If the highest dignity gets angry while playing the game, only we will be screwed. The scenario needs to be revised, and the quests need to be fixed.”

“···I’ll consider it.”

“Consider? It’s not something to consider. It’s a situation that needs to be dealt with immediately. You came back to life after banging your head on it, so you don’t know what the situation is? Seriously, you’ll just die. It’s okay to die, but die alone. Don’t drag me into it.”

“······.”

Telling them to revise the scenario meant giving up the best strategy route that the quantum computer and the grape bunch had found. But it was also impossible to just change the background that Maru played in.

In order to build a perfect virtual reality, we are consuming close to 60% to 70% of the computational resources of the quantum computer and the bunch of grapes, so if we touch anything more here, it will be difficult to do other things.

Whoosh whoosh-

The silence between the two women was broken by Maru’s increasingly rough breathing.

“This fucking dog-”

A thin vapor was rising from Maru’s body as he nervously took off his connector.

Sweat dripped down. His entire body was soaking wet, which was unusual. Maru, who was gulping down water, suddenly burst into laughter.

Hehehehe

Hahahaha

Maru, who was laughing hysterically while looking into the air, turned his gaze to Na Ju-yeon.

“hey-”

“yes?”

“You’re in scenario number 1. Did you get it?”

“yes.”

“Hehehehe- How?”

How do you say, ‘I woke up hitting my head’?

“If you go into the saved files, you can watch the gameplay video there.”

Jin-i’s face turned pale as he took a bite of the chocolate bar next to him and fell into deep thought. There was too much to think about.

“Let’s stop everything and make Ki-soon normal first. Okay? Right now.”

“···I’ll try. But I can’t guarantee that I can get it back to 100% normal.”

Unless we can find a cure that can be reversed even with a combination of grapes on a quantum computer, we’ll just have to live with it.

“At least try to fix your obsession with Naru. After all, it’s your responsibility.”

“all right.”

After hearing Na Ju-yeon’s answer, Maru groaned and groaned as a dull pain spread throughout his body.

“But is that the right level of difficulty?”

Na Ju-yeon couldn’t answer.

Maru, who thought silence was an affirmation, grumbled that his back was sticking to his stomach and headed to the restaurant. Kim Yang, who was quietly following behind him, glanced at Na Ju-yeon.

‘I’ll mark it. Fix it right now. Don’t be stubborn!’

Na Ju-yeon nodded slightly at Kim Yang’s intense gaze and checked Maru’s play file.

‘It’s easier to adjust the difficulty level if you know how they died. Just look at the last part···.’

What greeted Na Ju-yeon, who had accessed Maru’s play file, was the burning napalm flames here and there, a terrible smell, and a sky dyed black.

Black tornado?

There’s no way something like this could happen.

Kaaaak

Kaaaak–

No, that wasn’t a tornado.

The crows were moving like a tornado.

Kaaaak-

My head seemed to shake as thousands of birds cried out.

I looked down at the sky and saw these things among the napalm flames rising here and there.

Corpse. Dismemberment.

Corpse. Piece. Piece.

Piece. Corpse. Corpse.

A cut mark. A cut section. A sliced ​​piece of debris.

The front yard of the Vladislav Tower, which should have been covered in white snow, was covered in a slush of dark red blood and chunks of meat.

What lay before her feet was the Killing Fields themselves.

“······.”

Na Ju-yeon had no choice but to admit it. Kim Yang was right.

She stared blankly at the landscape made of death, then began to prepare for work one by one.

‘How much should I adjust the difficulty? What if I touch it and then have another problem?’

I let out a sigh.

‘Wouldn’t it be right to ask Maru’s opinion and then touch on it?’

After a short signal, Ms. Kim answered the phone.

[What’s going on?]

“No. I don’t want to ask you directly about how to adjust the difficulty level.”

[Oh? Wait a minute. That’s right. Send me a gameplay video so I can watch it.]

How long had it been since I had sent the video of Maru playing? I heard Kim Yang’s voice, which had become hoarse.

[I’ll just do it.]

“yes?”

[I’m just going to lower the difficulty level, so I’ll just move the starting point to the outskirts.]

“······.”
