Dungeon House 51
Dungeon House chapter 51
“Why doesn’t the recall function work?”
[There must be some means. However, it is very inconvenient for me to just be unable to return to the base.]
[To be honest, it was strange to be able to return to the base at any time. With this, today’s raid crossed the water.]
[Is it another game? Castle. Please play some games.]
[I can’t eat, drink, or even women, but games are okay. I’m not gambling, and the owner doesn’t say anything, so don’t say too much. Kai.]
[You really… … .]
Kai started nagging Castle. I was the one who just smiled watching them.
For a moment, he looked at his phone again. The return function of the dungeon app was still not working. After putting the phone in his pocket, he looked at Chris and asked.
“What do you think will happen in the future?”
[Monsters capable of mimicking humans will move.]
[Obviously, killing each other or letting the wounded come out will make them suspicious of each other.]
[We have taken measures, but they are not perfect, so there will definitely be problems.]
Currently, the dungeon explorers were disbanded in units of guilds. He could not return to the base even after time passed, so he decided to rest in this village for now.
Of course, prior to that, discussions were started to prepare for monsters that could mimic human beings. That’s why we had gathered for that in the first place.
The countermeasures were simple and certain in their own way.
The first is password. It’s a pre-set password.
The second is a method that only dungeon explorers can do. Dedicated posts on a free bulletin board where you can write and view through the dungeon app
to create and write
These two methods can distinguish a mimicked monster to some extent, but in fact, it is not a very perfect method. In particular, in the second case, it is a method that can be used only while the mobile phone is operating.
Those who are currently in the dungeon do not know when they will be able to return. As time passes, the power will go out and the cell phone will become unusable, and eventually the second method cannot be used either.
Of course, something will happen before that.
And that prediction was not wrong.

•••••••
The guild master of each guild and the 20 dungeon explorers kept their mouths shut without saying anything. Their faces have hardened even more. In some cases, the murderous intent of the face took place.
The reason was simple. Because the murdered one came out. number is five. One person from each guild was killed.
In order to prepare for an attack by a mimicked monster, a watchdog was also erected. Five of those vigilantes were killed.
Five died in different ways.
One suffocated from water in his lungs. At first glance, one was torn to pieces by a non-human being and died.
The other was full of sword cuts and stab marks, and the other was burned to death.
The last one is the biggest problem. he died right By fists and kicks presumed to be human.
The reason I found out about this was because the guild master of each guild had asked me to check the body.
Other guild masters were also there, and in addition, those who set a vigil with the dead yesterday were also present at the place where the bodies were enshrined.
I inspected the corpse and told everyone present about what I had found.
“… … Is it true that our guild member was beaten to death?”
“Yes. Apparently a human, no, a dungeon explorer was hit and killed with enough force to use. Fortunately, there was no pain during his death.”
“What do you mean?”
As a result of checking the blood, traces of paralytic poison were found in all five bodies. There was never a soul that resisted anywhere. Not just this person, but everyone. Simply put, they were paralyzed and killed in different ways.”
“then?! Nonsense! Yesterday we were with this guy! But he was kidnapped, poisoned with paralyzing poison and killed! Nonsense!”
“The same goes for us!”
“Me too!”
“It’s us too!”
Those who acted with the five killed this time exclaimed. I said quietly.
“Then you have the answer. I don’t know when, but it was replaced with monsters that mimic human beings so quickly that you wouldn’t even notice.”
“Does that mean we were acting with monsters?”
“That’s right. Perhaps there is already a mimicking monster hiding among us.”
As I said, the guild masters and dungeon explorers checked the quest column using their cell phones. You can check the number of survivors remaining in this dungeon from the contents of the quest. and… … .
“279 people. Five bodies. But the number is reduced by ten.”
According to the rule that bad predictions or feelings fit well, my words fit nicely. Until yesterday, not a single person died in a large-scale battle, so the total number of dungeon explorers was 289. At the top of the list, there are now 279. That’s 10 people dead.
Five bodies. Therefore, 5 out of 279 people were said to be mimicked monsters. Knowing this, they began to look at each other with wary eyes, and the expressions of the guild masters of each guild hardened even more.
“Wonhyo. Is there any way to tell the difference between humans and monsters?”
“Not at the moment. If there is even a corpse of a monster that mimics a human, we can analyze it and make medicine, but this is only the case when there is a corpse.”
I shook my head at Kim Dae-han’s question, and he quietly asked my answer.
“By the way, this has helped me understand why the recall function is not working, so I can go back.”
“… … i See.”
The recall function does not work during battle or when there is a hostile monster in close range.
Now that it turns out that the return function is not working for some reason, now there is a way to make it work.
For example, a certain number of people are used to return to an empty place. If it doesn’t work at this time, isolate those people and set them aside, and a certain number of people just need to activate the return function.
Using this method, you can separate the swarms that contain monsters. However, in the end, a large number of monsters and a small number of dungeon explorers remain.
In addition, the monsters will surely do something between using this method and returning.
Of course, not everyone has to go back. More than a certain number of people remain in the dungeon, and other than that, you can take turns and take a break at the base.
Perhaps all of them had come up with the same method, and a relaxed look settled on the faces of the guild masters of each guild.
[Hey. Sweethearts.]
The castle, which had been quiet, suddenly spoke to the guild masters. When I spoke suddenly, the guild masters looked surprised for a moment, but then they looked at me. He must have thought that I had done something.
[My master didn’t tell me to do anything, so don’t look at me as the owner for nothing. Look at me. Sweethearts. I don’t know your subject.]
What Castle said was very out of the ordinary for me.
[you guys. If you keep attacking the dungeon like this, you will die.]
“What is that…
[The owner of this dungeon is clever, and as evidence of that, he didn’t send the monsters at once, but divided them into two groups. What would have happened if the owner hadn’t stepped in? Not him, but the monsters that can mimic human beings were replaced without your knowledge. Plus, this guy knows how to disable the recall function. Simply put, the owner of the dungeon is well aware of the dungeon explorers.]
It was just as Castle said.
[But you are relieved that you have finally found a way to return. that’s the problem you are still lacking [
“What do we lack? We have enough… …
[Strong. It makes sense if you just put your strength into it.]
Castle is the guild master of the Haemosu Guild. He interrupted Seo Jin-won’s words and said.
[You obtained power in a short period of time by hunting monsters and raising their levels. So you are lacking. The concentration, the observation ability, the tension, and the fierceness are not enough! you guys. Do you know what is the easiest way to deal with a monster that mimics a human?]
“that… …
No one answered Castle’s question. After a while, I opened my mouth.
“Always be on the lookout for your surroundings. Even your friends.”
[To what extent?]
“The moment it is judged to be an enemy, it is enough to kill you right away.”
[That’s right. It’s really my master.]
“Is that the best way? Are you always vigilant?”
Seo Jin-won said as if it was ridiculous. And it was the same with others.
[This is not just a boundary. In any situation, he responds enough to immediately kill the opponent. You couldn’t even think of this simple fact in the first place.
Could… … .”
shhh
That was then. Seo Jin-won was suddenly attacked. He bounced off the attack, but turned his gaze to where the attack came from. And I opened my eyes in amazement. The attacking entity was a woman. That woman had always been by Seo Jin-won’s side from before.
shhh!
[You can’t see that.]
The woman’s black continued to stop in front of Seo Jin-won’s neck. After a while, the woman disappeared, and there was a skeleton warrior.
[If it were me, I would have wielded a weapon with the intention of unconditionally killing the enemy before checking it. No, I would have detected an attack before that and attacked immediately. but you couldn’t This is proof that you are lacking.]
The guild masters did not say anything.
[The most important thing is yourself. Above all else, my life is the most important. They say that the value of life is equal. don’t bullshit In the end, your life is the most important and valuable thing. The lives of other people are only of a lower priority, and you, who know that, who are not right in their actions, are still not good enough to survive in this dungeon.]
There was no one to protest or respond to those words.
[I have a suggestion for you. Do not do anything.]
“what?”
“What… … .”
[As I said. you don’t have to do anything Do nothing and go back to the base. And wait. We will finish this dungeon.]
What Castle said was so absurd that I was surprised.
[The owner and us can conquer this dungeon without any sacrifice. Even if there is a sacrifice, it will end with only one owner, the owner. I think it’s an unreasonable proposal for you guys. how is it? Of course, nothing in return is necessary.]
Surely I thought so too. If it were us, we would have to use all the treasury moves we have prepared so far, but it is possible to attack.
Even if a mimicking monster mimics a skeleton, it is not difficult to distinguish. Because there is a connection between me, or the skeleton that is ministered to Chris.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the attack of a mimicking monster. And as Castle said, if I fail, the sacrifice ends with me alone.
Of course, I have no intention of failing. But I have no intention of doing it with a ball.
I tried to offer a price. Before that, Castle spoke to me through a connection.
[master. There is a saying that nothing in this world is scarier than freebies. There is a saying in our world. ‘Freedom is the heaviest debt above all else.’]
He shut his mouth again at Castle’s words. Instead, I leaned back and stood quietly.
“Is it really possible?”
Then, Daehan Kim asked me.
“It is not possible. will do. If you don’t, you will die.”
okay. If you don’t, you’ll just die. At my words, the faces of each guild master, including Daehan Kim, hardened.
“Give me time to discuss.”
“all right. I will be waiting for you at the resting house.”
Having said that, he headed home to rest.
[D-Class Named Dungeon. Den of Doubts.
717 days remain until the attack fails. Hyeon
279 people in attendance.
On the 33rd day after starting the Kim Hyun-bok dungeon attack, Kim Hyun-bok decided to attack alone.]
