chapter 20
20 episodes – game board (3)
– The nightmare of 10 years ago may be re-emerged.
“…”
I blankly read and re-read the article.
and sighed.
10 years ago, when the response system was still immature.
A time when many people were killed by demons.
The situation is not that good.
“It’s not against the rules to comment on the game, is it?”
[Yes. You are responsible for all the responsibilities anyway.]
“…you don’t know yet?”
I scrolled down.
There’s only been this story lately.
Evolving monsters, also known as mutants.
It’s definitely confusing to those who don’t know.
But, to be honest, they didn’t mutate.
Growing up, interacting and learning.
There are no reports of such a mutant in Korea yet, but it could appear any number of times.
“How about the Legion? How big do you have to be to interact with me?”
Gradually, the situation became urgent, and I bit my lip.
I inquired if it was possible to extract information by inserting even a part of the body of a higher entity, but I only received a reply that a complete restoration was impossible with the interpretive ability of the current corps.
It meant that even if I sent the blood containing my genes and cells, the Legion wouldn’t be able to clone humans on its own.
[When will we be able to communicate? No one knows it. Maybe right now, maybe in the distant future. But I assure you, it’s your job to control it.]
My role.
I checked the sample slots that were still available.
To some extent, I was determined.
When the demons appeared, I was thinking of going to them and taking pictures.
“..yes?”
Then a loud siren sounded outside.
*
“Are you sure it’s around here?”
Cha Ji-yeon, who had brought her car in the chaotic atmosphere of the street, parked the car on the side of the road and placed a small stone on her palm.
The stone was humming and ringing,
The signal that I finally caught after searching for more than half of Seoul, which I was supposed to look for first.
Based on this signal, she determined the target’s range to some extent.
[It is impossible to find the exact location. However, if you approach within close range, you will be able to find suspicious people.]
“All right.”
she got out of the car
People around her started to recognize her because of her unique appearance, but she, wearing a hat and sunglasses, tried to ignore her gaze and moved on.
Two schools, numerous apartments and shops, a subway station, etc.
Although the range was reduced, there were still too many opponents to find.
“…”
But there was someone watching her.
She, of course, is another existence unknown to her backbone.
The one who shared his sight with the sparrow spinning around the sky grinned, revealing his sharp teeth.
“…The location has already been fixed for several hours. So, what about homes, schools, and self-employed people that are not floating populations?”
Cha Ji-yeon, who was walking around the neighborhood, somehow deduced the candidate by rolling her head.
This area is a typical bed town, so if you were in one place on a weekday morning in a place like this, you could still find some candidates.
[this]
However, in an instant, the peaceful morning relaxation was shattered.
she shook her head
A scream from far away.
“It’s a sudden gate!”
“Hey, they’re goblins! But these guys look…”
Hunter’s sensitive hearing caught the faint scream accurately.
With the shouts of the people, she noticed what was happening.
[Accident? It will never be a coincidence. avoid yourself They came after you]
“…Then why did I have to pay the tea?”
Closing her tongue, she reflexively ran towards the source of the scream.
It was natural. She is a Hunter, a person who hunts monsters.
At the same time, he had a duty to save people.
[No, retreat now. Carcos means you can’t create variables.]
“People die! It’s because of us!”
[Unfortunately, that’s not a consideration for your player]
“ね…”
She staggered at the exhilarating pain that ran through her spine.
This was a warning.
Her player is an obvious strong man with mystical powers.
In the first place, he was in a state of restraint in order to give her a favor and use her own limbs.
[Stand back and look at the situation. When their power is confirmed, then join them and accumulate achievements]
I had to listen to orders.
In the end, she bit her lip and hurriedly ran away, whether the scream grew louder or not.
“What goblins…”
When Cha Ji-yeon escaped.
In the twists of space, they poured out and attacked people indiscriminately.
About the height of a lower grade elementary school student.
Dark green skin and a distorted face.
A small group of monsters called goblins instead of official names like orcs because of their resemblance to goblins in creations.
In fact, they were the lowest level D-class monsters, and they were known to be able to defeat even ordinary people in a one-on-one match.
“Hey, this is… uh.”
But now the guys pouring out of the gate were different.
They were no longer just a bunch of beasts.
Although crude, a flag with blood written on the old cloth flew.
“●●●!!”
Several police officers who rushed and fired pistols were killed by arrows shot from the Gangung Palace.
They were already an army.
After releasing those running around for looting and massacre, a commander with a long beard commanded the army in accordance with the well-organized organization and formation.
“…”
He sniffed his nose and looked around.
A bird flying in the sky was now connected to the place where it was connected to one vision by magic.
It was one of the means to find the goal.
However, the target that he had been tracking over suddenly disappeared.
“●! ●●!”
Of course it didn’t matter.
After all, the reason I came here wasn’t just to hunt one of the opponent’s units.
He swung his baton and scattered the soldiers.
“Aww!”
“Hey, let this go!”
Even those who continued to slaughter indiscriminately captured specific targets without killing them.
The target of hunting is women of childbearing age.
In the first place, goblins were unable to reproduce without females of other races.
“●…”
One of the warriors at the vanguard sniffed.
People evacuating in a hurry from a large building.
There was a strong smell of prey there.
“Children, guys! Let’s calm down and act according to the manual! Hurry up to the shelter! You can’t go out now!”
A school that was quiet has become a biography.
The sirens sounded like crazy and screams could be heard in the distance, but the evacuation was creaky from the start.
“Guys..!”
As the situation unfolded, the teacher’s control creaked.
It wasn’t like insecurity.
It was just extreme fear.
“What are you doing? Let’s go.”
“You’re strangely calm? But maybe you should think about going to the shelter?”
In the chaos, Kang Do-yeon had no choice but to stick to Oh Yoon-ah’s side.
In fact, Oh Yoon-ah was terrified at Kang Do-yeon’s words to go to the shelter quickly.
“What are you talking about?”
“Because if you do it wrong, it could be annihilation. It’s not that you don’t believe the manual. It’s because you’re not sure what kind of ‘bastards’ will pop out of the gate.”
Seeing her friend who was fed up with this situation, she frowned at the word “extermination”.
They already knew about apps and games, but nonetheless, they were just ordinary high school girls.
“I don’t know. Even if you want to eat a side, I don’t think it’s a good choice to come into contact with the monsters crawling out of the gate.”
“Ahhh!”
While Oh Yoon-ah was talking about herself, something flew through the window in the cluttered hallway.
An arrowhead sharpened from obsidian-like ore.
Kang Do-yeon saw this and got goosebumps all over her body.
“It’s a goblin!”
Someone screamed as if torn apart.
Goblins targeting the school started swarming like ants, ignoring others and crawling over the wall.
“Let’s run away.”
“okay.”
At this moment, the two of them agreed.
One might wonder what a goblin would do with the shelter’s steel door, but they both know that these goblins are unusual.
“Everyone ran out…what are you doing?!”
“You’ve been smart up until now, but don’t make stupid decisions at the end. It’s hard to run away if we all run out together. There’s no time for that.”
Kang Do-yeon blocked Oh Yoon-ah’s mouth as she was trying to evacuate other students and teachers.
Oh Yoon-ah, who was bewildered not knowing that she would come out like this, was startled.
“…they’re friends. Are you going to use them as bait?”
“You say you use it as a bait? You only use the bait for hunting. It’s just a struggle.”
She was adamant.
Even though it was clearly her, Oh Yoon-ah nodded her head, pushed by the momentum.
After that, they ran down the hallway like crazy.
The goblins who had already infiltrated from the back killed those who resisted and had trouble catching the students who could not escape.
“Hey…”
In the meantime, a goblin standing with a bloody sword standing in front of them as they finally went down the stairs stood smirking.
The victims were the school principal and the head of the student department.
Even the first-time teachers joined together to protect the students, but they abandoned the students as well, and they were killed by a monster that ran away from them.
“I, protect me! You gave me the strength to do that!”
“I know.”
The terrified Oh Yoon-ah trembled and hid her small body behind her back.
Kang Do-yeon finally stepped forward.
If you don’t get out of here anyway, you’ll die.
Maybe even worse things could happen.
Fortunately, he had little power now.
“●●.”
The goblin grinned and pointed the sword at her.
It’s a gobble sword, but it’s still at the level of a machete.
‘Please come to your senses.’
Kang Do-yeon struggled to win her heart.
Directly or indirectly, just looking at the monster reminded me of that day as a trauma.
Horrible memories of my childhood that still haunt me to this day.
“after..”
The events of that day had a number of effects on her mentality.
Its influence also caused her to panic in an instant at certain events.
“Fuck you fucking monster!”
“●!”
Sometimes it gave me a boiling hatred and anger.
The moment her anger overcame her fear, she slammed to the ground.
At the same time, he lifted the fire extinguisher next to him with one hand and struck the goblin in the face, which he had not expected at all.
The sound of flesh bursting, bones smashing and breaking, and a bang! And a clear sound of a blow rang out.
