Episode 382. Spring water of the sun (2)

‘This is amazing.’

Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed when he saw his opponent.

there’s no way you wouldn’t know

How could I not know?

A mask with geometric patterns.

The appearance of a sleek yet sturdy physique.

Above all, the mana flowing from the body is unusual.

Player Unknown.

To be precise, it is a fake pretending to be unknown.

that buck

Unknown stood next to Snyder.

“Recently, there have been few unknown players. I naturally thought that I would be with player Kang Jin-hyeok, but I heard that he said he would take action based on some reason.”

Rumors of discord between Jinhyeok and Unknown were already being mentioned in various communications.

The two players, who often built a united front, seemed to be estranged, but as they consistently refused to respond to numerous requests for interviews, of course, the fire was ignited.

In particular, the fact that Unknown was not included in the official members of the Goinmul Corporation worked as the biggest reason.

‘I’m going to take advantage of that and pretend to be unknown and suck some honey…’

How should I accept this.

Jinhyeok smiled bitterly.

If you’re an opportunist like a serpent, you’re an opportunist. If you are stupid, you are infinitely stupid.

‘I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m sure I know that there’s a high chance I’ll be able to identify the truth of Unknown.’

Even so, is he still convinced that Unknown is hiding his identity?

Or did he mean that he didn’t care if I knew he was faking it?

It is true that either way is interesting.

“…So, what was the reason you brought that person here?”

“As you know, Unknown Player is a ranker with numerous achievements. Even the Awakened Association allowed him to attack the tower as an exception.”

Snyder was arrogant.

As if to say that he completely possesses the Unknown.

“No matter how much player Jin-Hyuk Kang, it’s not easy to attack the upper levels, right? Especially if you’re in a position where you have to walk a path you’ve never been before.”

Although there was no specific information about the upper layer yet.

If you dare to predict, there will be a lot of stairs that are several times more difficult than the middle level.

It’s okay to say so. It is said that it is impossible to predict what variables will be.

“However, if you work with us, we will support a more comfortable way.”

higher than now.

more stable and faster.

It means that we will provide financial and practical support.

“Certainly… not bad.”

“Do you mean you will accept our offer?”

“First, I’d like to talk to Mr. Unknown. Let’s talk later.”

“…Okay. Please don’t drag it on for too long.”

Snyder looked around once more.

Then he stepped back for a moment and made a place for the two of them.

ruler.

How are you going to come out now?

Jinhyeok looked at the opponent directly.

Unknown also did not avoid Jinhyeok’s gaze.

Whoops.

An annoying sigh came out.

“I don’t really like mind-blowing psychological warfare or brain fights, so I’ll tell you in advance. I have no intention of pretending to be unknown. I put on this mask just to get your attention.”

said to himself

was it the latter?

“…You admit it surprisingly coolly. I thought you’d come up with a little more excuses.”

“I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like wasting time. I’m not someone I can cheat just because I’m determined to cheat.”

“Then, we all know each other. Why don’t we take off the mask and have a conversation?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. There’s no reason to show your bare face just because you’re not unknown.”

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t ask for it either.”

Jinhyuk’s fingers moved.

Pachitsu…tsu!

As the mana gathered, ‘barrier’ and ‘glacier shaping’ were activated at the same time.

[The 6-star ‘Sealed Area’ is activated!]

[The glacier-shaped ‘Polar Ice Arrow’ is activated!]

The ice powder instantly took shape.

Three arrows seemed to flash, and then rushed aiming for Unknown’s mask.

at close range. It is also a surprise attack specialized in speed.

however.

Puffer Puck!

When the ice arrows were near the mask, all of them were turned into powder and scattered.

“As you’ve heard, he’s a picky guy, pouring in attacks first and foremost.”

Not to mention the act of blocking it, I couldn’t even detect the sign that the mana was being rearranged.

The barrier also disappeared without a trace.

What is this monster…?

“You…”

Jinhyeok tried to say something, but Unknown was one step faster.

“It’s a pain in the ass in a lot of ways because of the silent deities going rampant. Olympus and Ragnarok are also a problem, but it’s annoying that it became a fuse. Ttsk! Anyway, they’re like idiots who live for their pride…”

Ordinary Players cannot speak carelessly about deities.

The people I encountered were very few. Even that would be tied to a perfect hierarchical relationship.

Residents… you mean?

No, I don’t know anyone among the residents.

A being with such a strange magical power… is not even the manager of

‘…’

.

It wasn’t even more divine.

There is only one possibility to infer.

“Operator…”

“Oh, he said he wouldn’t be completely unaware. I don’t think it’s frustrating.”

A grotesque mouth appeared on Unknown’s mask.

You can see a creepy red mouth with teeth sticking out between them.

“Saeyeongeonhwan only revealed himself when his identity was revealed. Are you saying you’re different?”

“That friend is a ‘contemplator’. He prefers to observe without intervening in the general trend.”

“I’m a ‘variable maker’. Hmm. How should I describe it? Oh, yes. I’d rather say I prefer to sauce some of the existing tedium.”

One of the viewers who watched the broadcast in the early days.

The operator was one of the factors that did not exist in the Tower of Trials in the past.

In fact, it was Saeyeongeonhwan who warned of the change on the 50th floor.

Then…

Who is the guy in front of you?

“Why don’t you tell me about your nickname? It’s a BJ I used to enjoy, so it’s okay to know the name of the listener, right?”

“I was rude. As a fan, it wasn’t polite. Certainly. Nicknames don’t matter.”

The corner of Unknown’s mouth went up gently.

“Would you remember if I said ‘Eagle Owl’? I’m proud to say that I watched every broadcast.”

Of course it remains in memory.

Viewers who supported all kinds of food in past broadcasts.

I remember trying to feed him so badly that I even walked Black a few times.

shit. I never thought I would meet that psycho in real life.

“No way, I’m not going to tell Sol to eat sundaegukbap only in his eyes. But I don’t think a manager with a heavy butt is trying to sell me memories, right?”

“The reason I came all the way here is because I want to join this raid.”

“…Sun spring water?”

“Yes. There is a reason we must go together.”

This thing gets complicated.

It’s absurd that the operator appeared out of nowhere, but the operator asked to go to the labyrinth on the 23rd floor together.

“What will you do?”

“How do you do it, what do you do?”

I don’t know if this is poison or an apple.

The only thing that’s certain is…

it’s an opportunity to get a little clue about the operator’s identity and purpose.

“As long as you don’t get in the way, you’re always welcome.”

Jinhyeok accepted Unknown’s proposal.

Right then.

“I’m sorry.

Chun Yoo-seong, who briefly apologized and approached, tilted his head.

He found that there were some strange people next to Jinhyeok.

“Cheon Yoo-seong… Player… No way, was it you who player Kang Jin-hyeok was waiting for?”

Snyder’s face contorted.

But Snyder’s misery doesn’t end there.

It’s only just getting started.

“Ohh. What the hell is this all about?”

The person Cheon Yoo-seong met on his way was none other than Han Sang-jin.

He is the president of the Korea Awakened Association.

As much as the scars on his face, his brutal feelings about the current situation were revealed without filtering.

Finding out that a foreign agent is targeting Jinhyeok, who can be called Korea’s treasure…

Of course, anger rises.

On the other hand.

“Ah…”

Snyder’s body trembled with a look of total loss.

All in all…!

In order not to run into South Korean government agents, I secretly entered the country and thoroughly sealed the information.

In order not to give an excuse to get caught somehow, we put in manpower and capital that transcends imagination.

All those efforts went in vain.

“This is interesting, Mr. Snyder. Does what you’re doing represent the will of the Titan Guild and the Awoken Society of America?”

“This is a misunderstanding. We don’t mean that…

”

Snyder was unable to respond to Han Sang-jin’s threatening bluff.

No matter how strong the United States was, it was a country that could not be compared to Korea.

If the pod was caught in this way, there was a concern that it would provide unfavorable excuses in various ways in future relationships.

There was someone who saved me from such a hopeless situation.

“It’s big! President of the association. It’s not like that, there was really a misunderstanding.”

It was Jinhyeok.

“A misunderstanding?”

“Yes. Mr. Snyder here said he was giving away everything for free. Very mercifully for the future of mankind.”

“No, no cost…!?”

Snyder took a deep breath.

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t it? Then, it’s not a misunderstanding, it’s really that you’re having bad feelings for me… Well, that’s what it means.”

Jinhyuk’s eyes went cold.

“I’m not like that… that’s what I meant by that…” ”

Yes, don’t stutter and speak slowly. I’m listening.”

“…”

If you refute here, you will only be revealing the evidence that you tried to steal talent from another country.

However, if you build a stiff bloodline, a catastrophe that becomes hostile to Jinhyeok could happen.

A dilemma.

at last.

“…You’ve had a good shot. Just take it all. I lost.

”

Snyder gave up

everything and

shook his head

. There was only about an hour left before going to the floor.

Jinhyeok and

Chun Yuseong checked their equipment and supplies for the last time before entering the Tower of Ordeal

.

Isn’t Alice going to be with you?”

“That guy will fall out this time.”

Elise, Belus, and Ophelia.

The three ended the conversation by moving separately to contact Eden

. Since they attacked my stronghold, I’ll be able to use that as an excuse to rip off a piece of it.’

Even if Kizakiel makes an excuse that he was banished from Eden, it’s fine if he says it’s not my part-time job.

Eden, which is hung up on clues about the Necronomicon, will have no choice but to act as it wants, at least for the time being.

“Teresa seems busy in Europe too . And… Since the teachers also left to take care of Murim’s work… Then, it means that we must attack the labyrinth together with you without fail.” ”

Why. Are you worried about the swordsman of the world?”

“I’m nervous! I just meant that you shouldn’t be vigilant.”

“But isn’t it you with a sword? In the past, in Moorim… I mean, you won something like a plum swordsman in Hwasan, right?” ”

That’s… Isn’t that what happened when he came down the tower under restrictions? And you know it, but on purpose…”

Chun Yoo-seong’s face crumpled, as if his pride had been hurt.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I really didn’t know.”

No, I really didn’t know?

If you wield it outside, you can’t even erase the evidence. Seriously.

Jinhyeok waved his hands hurriedly.

” The two of you look happy.”

The last member of this raid.

approached the two of them.
