Baek Ho-min meeting (6)
Baek Ho-min was surprised by the unexpected appearance of the white spider, but sat face to face for now.
However, the white spider did not open its mouth for a long time even after sitting face to face. However, it was clear that she was preparing herself.
Although it was not known what caused her to change her mind.
It wasn’t long before the white spider began to open its mouth.
“You seem to be close to Platinum Lord.”
“Huh? Oh, well…”… Right?
I didn’t know how she would react if I simply went over the intimate state.
Baek Ho-min looked at the white raincoat surrounded by a white spider on his shoulder. It was stained with blood and messy, but it was clear that it belonged to Platinum Lord.
I’ve never found a raincoat like hers anywhere in the city.
In fact, that raincoat is like a crown of Platinum Lord.
“I killed Platinum Lord a while ago. Right now, I’m the lord.”
Thanks to this, Baek Ho-min was not very surprised even after Mystery’s words fell.
Platinum Lord’s blood will also be buried somewhere on that raincoat. However, not being surprised and emotional agitation were separate.
“Is the reason exactly what we talked about when we first met?””
“At first, I did, but later I thought the reason was good and I wanted to kill her anyway. immerse yourself in the purpose.It’s common not to care about the reason, right?
“Platinum Lord said she was a parasite”.
“You said it doesn’t matter if you’re a parasite”.
I didn’t say that much. I just said it was ridiculous.
However, Baek Ho-min, who had been through the five-story system, knew that there was a possibility that her words were not wrong.
Even so, it was true that Platinum Lord was serious about conquering the tower, and it could not be denied that he would do anything for it.
Whether Platinum Lord is a parasite or not, mankind needs her.
Baek Ho-min first began to organize the story that the white spider said when it first met.
“The reason why you tried to kill Platinum Lord is…”… Platinum Lord said it was because she tried to kill you.”
“Okay.”
“And the spider saved that.”
“That’s right.”
“Then when did you find out that spiders are the same person as Platinum Lord?””
The white spider was silent for a moment.
She had a heavy silence of unknown depth and opened her mouth as if rising from the abyss.
“The day I succeeded in killing Platinum Lord.”
“Let’s clean it up.”
Baek Ho-min leaned and said, looking straight at the white spider.
“In other words, Platinum Lord tried to kill you, but saved you, and saved you from dying after taking medicine at the pension workshop. And it was Platinum Lord that helped you become an assassin of a snake cave and become a spider bridge, and it was Platinum Lord that moved the rebels in the alley and instigated Platinum Lord to kill Platinum Lord.”
The white spider nodded.
“It’s all true. FYI, the medicine I took at the pension workshop was also poison fed by Platinum Lord.”
“Then Platinum Lord means your savior, teacher, and enemy, is Platinum Lord crazy?”
I have no choice but to think so.
Platinum Lord worked hard to develop an assassination weapon to kill her.
An assassin with extreme resentment and cause.
“……I don’t want to make excuses for Platinum Lord.”
The white spider said as if it were not pleased.
“I don’t think all of that should be explained only by insanity. People have dual purposes as much as they want.”
“Double purpose”?
“Yes, she gambled for the conflicting purposes of conquering the tower and liberating it.””
Baek Ho-min listened to the gambling story.
Platinum Lord often gambles.
She is not good at games but knows how to win, so she also played against Mystery.
So now that Platinum Lord was killed in the white spider world ship, did Platinum Lord lose in this game?
No, she wouldn’t have thought she would lose in the first place.
Those who believe they are returnees will not think death is defeat.
Then it was clear that she was trying to get something from the match against the white spider.
“What does liberation mean?””
“From the lord’s responsibility.””
Baek Ho-min tilted his head at it, too.
At first glance, Baek Ho-min recalled Platinum Lord’s ability to return rather than that.
The ability to return is a powerful skill to grasp the future you want, but on the contrary, it is also a prison that cannot escape until you grasp the future you want.
No, it is questionable whether we can go out even if we grasp the desired future.
Platinum Lord said this was the eighth return he remembered. During her seven deaths, she would have repeated countless pains, pains, and failures.
Platinum Lord, who has the ability to return, cannot be freed from the lord’s responsibility just because she dies from a white spider.
There was only one possibility.
“Did you think that if you die from a white spider, your return would stop?”‘
That can’t be true. According to Platinum Lord, regression is a super skill that reverses time….
At that moment, Baek Ho-min had chills.
The regression is a special ‘skill’.
And the white spider had the ability to force the skill to stop.
Platinum Lord made a white spider an assassin who could kill him.
They stopped regression and raised it as a suicide tool that could kill themselves.
But it was impossible from the beginning.
Platinum Lord is not a regressionist.
This was because her regression ability had already been taken away by Baek Ho-min.
“White spider. Just in case, who’s the lord?””
The white spider looked at Baek Ho-min with sharp eyes.
“I led the rebellion, and Platinum Lord was killed with my own hands, so of course I’m acting as acting Yeongju.” However, it is only temporary. If the tower selects a new lord, i will hand it over right away.”
Baek Ho-min pointed his forehead.
Platinum Lord was thorough.
“Oh, my god.”
Platinum Lord was even mindful of the situation in which her plan was successful.
If the city is killed while being stopped returning as planned, the city will flow without a returnee.
Platinum Lord raised her successor on her own so that even if that happens, the city would not collapse or the conquest of the tower would not be stopped.
The assassin who killed herself, the white spider.
“Are you really crazy?”
“Why don’t you tell me if you’ve noticed something.”
Baek Ho-min was agonizing over how to tell the white spider what he found out.
In fact, everything was just an assumption.
It’s just a assumption that everything fits reasonably.
Even so, Baek Ho-min had no choice but to tell the white spider.
Baek Ho-min was thinking about where to start and decided to start here.
“White spider, Platinum Lord believes she is a returnee.”
“……that is, you, or our ability to return is actually Platinum Lord’s, and one of the constellations has robbed that ability?”
“That’s right. And if Platinum Lord was suffering from her ability to return and found a way out of you…”… Her dual behavior also explains.”
The white spider shut up after hearing all of Baek Ho-min’s assumptions.
She was deep in thought, organizing something for a long time.
Baek Ho-min did not know how it would affect her to say these words in the past of constellations, or in a parallel world.
Constellations were also silent.
In fact, the parallel world is the world beyond the mirror.
It is a world ship that has no effect except for a mirror room.
However, there will certainly be cases in which the world will take a different path than before due to Baek Ho-min’s words.
“I’m the successor to Platinum Lord.”
The white spider muttered the words and pressed the nose bridge.
Looking at it, Baek Ho-min thought why it was a white spider.
The skill stop is a first-degree skill. It’s rare, but there’s nothing that you can’t find similar abilities.
However, skills vary widely depending on the owner’s ability. Platinum Lord could not have killed anyone.
Only the opponent she admitted was qualified to act as her agent in case of emergency.
Only the opponent who has enough will and ability to climb the tower.
Killing Platinum Lord was the last test to become a lord.
“I, the successor of the spider.”
The white spider muttered similar words several times.
It would be hard for her to accept.
It is also difficult to accept that she is a savior, a teacher, and the enemy she killed just a while ago is the same person.
Even if you hear everything that can be explained, it will take time to accept it.
“Ha.”
The white spider suddenly burst into laughter. It was such a cheerful laughter that even after filling the room.
The photo, which had been exploding like crazy, soon turned into a gasping laugh, a moan that barely came out of a choking voice, and finally turned into a sobbing.
The sobbing turned into a bloody wail. And at one point, her voice suddenly stopped.
“Okay. I see.”
The white spider stood up like a ghost with an expressionless face. Baek Ho-min didn’t even feel a sign of her standing up.
Baek Ho-min felt like she was about to disappear somewhere like a ghost.
The white spider stared blankly into space with unfocused eyes, and rubbed its wet face in a mess.
The next moment, her face was masked.
It was the mask she handed over when Platinum Lord revealed to Baek Ho-min that he was a spider.
The white spider probably found the mask only after killing Platinum Lord.
“Thank you for telling me.” Baek Ho-min.”
Baek Ho-min inadvertently tried to nod, but he noticed that he called it “Baek Ho-min.”
He ignored the nickname he had put up for distinction and called his name.
Because of the mask, it was not known what expression she spoke with.
“You’re going to spend that freaking year…”… No, it’s not. He’ll do well on his own.”
The white spider stared into space for a while and then said again.
“I… I think I have to go.” I suddenly have a lot of things to do.”
The white spider was ready to go out of the mirror room. Baek Ho-min prepared to follow after she left.
I was able to find out more information than I thought.
The story I heard from them will not 100% match the past of constellations, but it will still help me understand their abilities and intentions.
“Oh, and…”
The white spider suddenly stopped and said while trying to go out of the mirror room.
“Have you met Baek Ho-min of the circuit workshop?””
“Huh? No. Every time I saw him, he kicked me out, so I couldn’t do anything about it.””
“You did that to me, too. Until you get kicked.”
Thanks to her ability to stop skill, she seems to have been able to meet without being kicked out.
“I don’t know if you’re interested in meeting me…”… Be careful if you want to meet.”
“Why?”
“He’s the craziest one among us.””
The white spider left only that word and went out of the mirror room.
With the sound of the curtain moving, Baek Ho-min was left alone in the mirror room.
“Ms. Mystery?”
Mystery was quietly staring at the surface world. Martial King and Dynamite carefully waited behind her for a reaction.
In Mystery’s life, there was no existence to explain Platinum Lord’s thoughts and logic by appearing pleasantly like Baek Ho-min.
No, from the beginning, the important fragment of ‘return’ was missing.
In other words, it is the first time that Mystery has heard a reasonable explanation of Platinum Lord’s behavior.
No, I should have guessed from the moment I heard Platinum Lord had returned.
It may have been so if it had not been for being obsessed with a single violent anger.
Mystery stood like a tombstone for a long time and looked into the air.
After a long time, her feelings were worn out.
I was ready to forgive and accept Platinum Lord.
But she didn’t know how to accept the truth she just learned.
“Mystery.”
At the sound of Martial King’s re-call, Mystery creaked.
“Huh?”
“Let’s meet Mr. Archmage. And I hope you have a conversation.”
What do you mean, talking to him?
The answer was the first thing that lingered in Mystery’s mouth. But it was a completely different word to come out of my mouth.
“Yes.”
