Ch 99
Episode 98 – The beginning of the plan.
“················ogue.”
The mouth of the man who spoke bluntly fell into his mouth.
It was a story that was brought out thanks to the psychology of the crowd, and it was because the courage to speak more was lost as the reaction around him became cold.
‘It seems to be.’
At that moment, Jaejoo Kim breathed a sigh of relief and opened his mouth again.
“Wait.”
A man full of scars on his face squeezed the crowd and came forward.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“yes. I don’t think this is a little bit.”
Everyone looked surprised.
It was because he was a man who was grabbed by the face after childbirth and thrown to the floor.
“You tell me.”
At the words of Jaejoo Kim, the man raised his voice as if he had gained confidence.
“For now, as I said earlier, I understand that the two of you have a personal grudge relationship.”
“yes.”
_?
– Did you hear Kim Jaejoo properly?
– It’s too much lol
Jaejoo Kim corrected that statement and did not dare to step forward.
This is a situation where people misunderstand that it is an antagonistic relationship between the individual and not the clan and Jaejoo Kim.
The man spoke quickly.
“I understand. It’s because you only need to clear the ordeal in the tower, leaving nothing like that.”
“Yes.”
“But, did it have to be so violent? As you may not know, our respected Hippocrites have promised to help us. But it’s a bit irresponsible to come out like this.”
“okay.”
The man, who gained confidence in Kim Jae-joo’s gentle answer, smiled and glanced at the postpartum birth.
As if to say, ‘Did I do well?’, after the birth, her complexion turned blue and she couldn’t say anything.
How did you say that demon could kill them all if they were wrong?
Isasanhu’s head went up without realizing it.
The damn devil was smiling softly.
“Then what should I do?”
“It’s simple.”
The man grinned and continued.
“You seem to have some ability, but no matter how much you think about it, I don’t think you will be able to clear the ordeal on your own.”
“yes.”
The man turned and said, as if the crowd behind him were on his side.
“So, as a condition of helping us behind the scenes, I would like you to pay each individual a clear reward and a certain amount of coins… How about it? It’s good for us to get more rewards, and it’s good for them to clear the ordeal quickly, so it’s like mutual aid.”
– Me, me. Crazy bird X look;
– Cross the line
‘That’s a bit difficult.’
Jaejoo Kim was in trouble for a while.
The man’s remarks were poison mixed with honey.
‘Even if the reward is second to none…’
It was difficult to stick with him.
Seeing that Hippocrit clan members willingly offered to help users, they must have undergone normal trials.
‘There are many variables.’
The difference between Kim Jae-joo, who has to prevent pollution itself, and their position, waiting for the pollution to end, is highly likely to cause friction.
‘Should I really use force?’
While Jaejoo Kim was in trouble and was speechless, the crowd nodded their heads one by one at the man’s plausible talk.
“Isn’t that okay?”
“If you look that strong, I think there are quite a few coins.”
“Clothes look expensive too.”
Seeing the bustling crowd, the man’s smile widened.
“Now, it seems that everyone agrees to some extent-”
“I don’t agree here.”
Seeing the raised hands in the crowd, the man’s expression hardened.
“Yes Yes?”
Following the man’s gaze, the crowd split, and there were six men and women.
They were usually unfamiliar faces that they seemed to have seen somewhere, and one of them was clearly remembered.
A man who met on the 22nd floor declared war on Kim Jae-joo and left.
– Belt?
-Why are you here?
“You have to cheat in moderation. You can’t do this.”
Baek Jin-ha with a smirk was there.
“I beg your pardon?”
The man’s face instantly heated up.
It was hard to believe that a traitor had appeared among the trusted users.
“That’s right. If you look at it, the Hippocrit clan members are full of benevolence, and they talk as if they are helping us at no cost.”
Baek Jin-ha shrugged and came over to me.
“If it’s not a scam, what would it be?”
A few who were stabbed inside turned their heads while coughing in vain.
“Now what-”
“excuse me. You have to be straight.”
Baek Jin-ha put a hand on the man’s shoulder and laughed.
“We were promised to clear the ordeal in return for finding Mr. Jaejoo Kim.”
The man’s mouth could not be easily removed from the grip force felt on his shoulder.
It was easy to see because of her slim body shape and plain clothes, but it was by no means a formidable force.
“Now that that promise has become impossible to fulfill, you are asking Mr. Kim Jae-joo to take responsibility for it.”
“Uh, uh, that’s…”
Baek Jin-ha tapped the man’s shoulder and looked around.
“Am I wrong? It’s disappointing to see someone else take on the ordeal.”
“When did you see-”
The disgruntled voices from the crowd were hurriedly stopped.
“you’re right!”
It was because the postpartum mother was on her knees.
“Jaejoo Kim is simply not on good terms with us! It is absolutely unacceptable to push the clearing of the ordeal now as a personal burden!”
The crowd fell into silence at the trembling voice.
The sight of the postpartum, who overpowered them, barking like a dog was enough to make them feel that something was wrong.
In particular, the man who went out for postpartum was ecstatic.
“Uh, how… no why…”
Passing by the man who was muttering blankly, Baek Jin-ha met Kim Jae-joo’s eyes.
Then, Kim Jae-joo’s eyebrows narrowed at the sight of squinting one eye.
– wink
– What is this crazy guy lol
“Now, Mr. Lee San-hu, who is a party to the case, also said this.”
Baek Jin-ha, who turned to the crowd again, blinked a glance, and 5 users quickly jumped over and stuck to Kim Jae-joo.
“How about doing this?”
– Are you familiar with them?
-I saw you on the 22nd floor. I have a good memory!
-Really?
The crowd, who had kept their mouths shut at the unbelievable sight, shook a little.
Suddenly, cautious voices came out one by one.
“Are we okay with that then?”
“You don’t have to do anything.”
Jaejoo Kim answered gently.
“What do you do when monsters come out all over the forest?”
“There will be no such thing, and if there is, I will protect it.”
Seeing Jaejoo Kim answering the following questions without interruption, people lowered their voices one by one.
“Any more questions?”
“I understand that you are strong enough to subdue Hippocrit clan members by yourself.”
Finally, the words of a woman who could not shake off her anxiety came out.
There was a previous situation, so it was a voice that was the size of a mosquito, but when everyone was immersed in their thoughts and had nothing to say, it was clearly audible.
“yes. You tell me.”
“Isn’t dealing with people different from dealing with monsters? I know at least hundreds of them pop out at once.”
-Kingly’s God Sim on
-I’m suspicious of this.
The crowd looked at Jaejoo Kim as if they agreed.
“I understand.”
Jaejoo Kim smiled and lifted the backpack, took out the mechanical gloves and put them on.
While everyone responded that they did not understand the English language, only the 5 people who met Jaejoo Kim on the 22nd floor turned back in a panic.
“I don’t know if this will make you feel safe.”
Wii ing.
The magic circuit started to burn with the roaring sound of the machine.
Jaejoo Kim stretched out his arms to the sky.
Pa-ang!
A pillar of light rose from the darkening sky.
Shining as if it would burn everything, in the flash of light that pierced my eyes.
Even the Hippocrit clan members who were groaning to a certain extent.
Even users who sent questionable eyes.
Baek Jin-ha made an interesting expression.
All of them opened their mouths.
-Come on!
-Hwang-Jae
-La-chanta
-It’s called Hwangrapo
Unexpected things happened, but in the end it ended well.
Users did not completely believe it, but quietly entered the ‘Traveler’s Giant’.
Jaejoo Kim removed the variable.
Darkness began to fall on the quiet meadow, and only Baek Jin-ha and Kim Jae-joo remained.
“long time no see.”
At Baek Jin-ha’s words, Kim Jae-joo sighed.
“I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“haha. That’s a relationship.”
“Thank you for your help.”
“You don’t have to thank me. I’m just stuck on the fun side.”
“···Is that so.”
Kim Jae-joo’s head was complicated by Baek Jin-ha’s unfamiliar attitude.
“Is the reason you helped me just for fun?”
“About half. The other half did it because that bastard hated him. He was a guy who kept talking inside me and only thinking about making a bill.”
– He’s such a weird guy.
-mind! Top is a joke!
Jaejoo Kim looked around the darkened surroundings and estimated the remaining time.
“What are you going to do now, Mr. Baek Jin-ha?” “Okay. I want to follow you, but I don’t think you’ll like it.”
– Do you have a clue?
– Are you a good friend?
“yes. I think I will be a little busy.”
“I can’t help it. Please call me if you need it. Will you accept friend requests?”
Jaejoo Kim thought that kindness should be repaid with kindness.
“Anyway.”
“ruler! Now tell me your real name.”
“················ogue.”
-lol
-haha
-Jaejoo Kim 2! Whoa!
After talking with Baek Jin-ha, Kim Jae-joo started walking along the narrow forest road.
– What is Baek Jin-ha’s expression?
-???: Yes Yes? number two?
-Kim Jaejoo: (sighs, nods) Yes
“Please stop it.”
– Do you change into Nick again if you twist?
-But… now that the 2nd has settled in Kim Jae-joo’s body?
– Big-yeop haha
“Don’t speak.”
-Are you pouting often these days?
-mind! Haengnim will buy you WD-40!
-Stop making fun of me, I’m going to cry.
Jaejoo Kim sighed and looked around.
“Human talking to himself!”
“Even light from his hand!”
“Strange. Strange!”
“But you saved Coderan!”
Fairies were illuminating the dark forest.
The flowers were dyed with the powder that fell on the glittering wings and shone.
Kim Jae-joo was able to walk without blockage on the path made along the drooping flowers.
It was the fairies’ consideration and reward.
Soon, Jaejoo Kim arrived at the vacant lot where there was a guardian tree of bravery, and Raul and Codran were nowhere to be seen.
“human! heard. I said that I saved you, Codran.”
“You may pass by!”
The guards of valor have cleared the road.
“thank you.”
Jaejoo Kim quietly bowed his head and passed by.
As we once again followed the path lit by the fairies, we saw an empty lot with the guardian tree of wisdom at the end.
There, Peyron and Raoul. And Codran was talking with a serious expression.
“Are you here? human.”
Fayron, who made eye contact with Jaejoo Kim coming out of the forest, rolled his front paws slightly to ventilate the surroundings.
“You are late.”
Coderan raised the corners of her lips slightly to greet Jaejoo Kim.
“Anyway, what are humans?”
Raul gave a ferocious expression as he saw Jaejoo approaching, but his horns were quiet.
“sorry.”
“it’s okay. I was just talking about you.”
Fayron looked at Raoul and Codran once, then sighed.
“I was against it, but the result came in favor of Codran and Raoul.”
I knew what he was talking about without saying anything.
“Follow me. The elder is waiting for you.”
“yes.”
Jaejoo Kim took a deep breath and followed Peyron.
From now on, I had to be alert.
Because the plan has just begun.
