[Guild] Purely heals: Right? Even the guild members think it’s strange.

Sun-soo waited while chatting.

It was right after a list of information that completely summarized the discomfort he had felt and his thoughts up until now.

[Guild] First of all, I think it’s because my older sister thought so.

[Guild]BwimiTheBwimi: BwideulgapBwideulgap

[Guild] Toto Check: Putting a period and such – You can just do it by marking and drawing. If you are a concept addict, you can do it.

[Guild] Ranger (44 years old): Go!!!!! Are you talking about me!!!!

[Guild] Toto Check: Like that human

[Guild] Jjajjajchachacha: Let’s focus on what the guild master is saying. Don’t joke around.

But it was not easy to believe pure words.

This is the character currently connected to the game Dungeon & Fighter.

And yet, they are not users. They are not people.

So then what exactly should we conclude?

[Guild] Purely healing: It’s different from just chatting, so I’m trying to make the item again now.

[Guild] Purely heals: Ah, this too [Mechanic Giselle’s Chainsaw]

[Guild] Purely heals: The female mecha next to it is [GT-9600 machine gun]

[Guild] Purely heals: Gisele Top Even so, this is an item that disappeared completely. Do you think it’s possible? For level 64?

The reason she moved her character slowly was to put the item links in Jinseong and Vivi’s [Character Information] into the chat window.

And when it was confirmed that, her noisy guild members also had to keep quiet for a moment.

This item has been completely discontinued.

This is an item that cannot be searched even in the [Encyclopedia] system of the game Dungeon & Fighter.

I wonder if it’s an item for a weapon skin with the same name as [Soul], but an item that is actually used?

[Guild] First of all, Apos: So that’s right, it doesn’t have a soul?

[Guild] Purely heals: Yeah, I said it wasn’t for physical use, so I just used it.

[Guild] Ranger (44 years old): This is an item I got in 2012 or 2013 when I was raising a mechanic. It’s a machine gun.

[Guild] Jjajjajchachacha: It’s really weird. If you’ve been away for a few years, you probably wouldn’t know.

[Guild] First Apo: That’s true, I ate it before, but it could be like that if I took a break for a few years, sis.

Users belonging to the Guild of Purity thought rationally.

Up until that point there was no problem. But what happened next was the problem.

[Guild] Toto Check: What? Is that a chainsaw?

A member of the Pure Guild intervened.

Weapon Master job in the male ear inspector job group.

A user of the profession commonly referred to as ‘Swordsman’, a second job advancement title, said:

[Guild] Purely heals: What? Is there something else strange?

[Guild] Toto Sword: I’m raising 11 characters and memorizing all the weapon options, but the items and options I used when raising the Greatsword weapon are different. Isn’t there a penalty?

[Guild] Purely heals: Right? It’s different, right?

[Guild] Jjajjajchachacha: It could be a bug, but has there ever been a bug like that? I’ve experienced a lot of bugs where options don’t activate.

[Guild] Ranger (44 years old): Hehe,,,, I think there was a bug where options disappeared

[Guild]BbyumiTheBbyumi: Report to Bbyumdadak

Sun-soo frowned as she watched her guild members not agreeing with the clues she had just found.

And then finally he shouted.

In a way, it was a suggestion to think about it first and then come to a conclusion, rather than simply listing the circumstances, which is similar to ‘answering the question’.

[Guild] Purely heals: Oh, that’s not it!! Apoya, wasn’t there something in the recent dogno update????

[Guild] First of all, Apo: Dog? Not really? It was just general updates or balance-related content.

‘Developer’s Note’ is one of the notifications that can be found on the official website of the game Dungeon & Fighter.

It also has a function to provide more detailed and detailed notices than the general live service guidance provided in the notice board.

Specifically, it is a role to notify users when modifications that can be felt by users in the in-game situation, such as improvements to convenience, balance, and the direction of future updates, have been made.

What Sun-joo asked was whether there was anything special about those ‘developer notes’, but the answer was that there was nothing special in the eyes of guild users.

Finally, she couldn’t stand it anymore and said.

[Guild] Purely healing: Not an APC that only moves in dungeons!! Not an NPC that only plays a specific role in town!! Just a literal user-like character! Moves and acts like a person!!

From the listing of all this information, she had already thought of the conclusion she was trying to draw from her guild members.

[Guild] Purely healing: A bot made with a 4th generation AI? Or maybe even a 5th generation AI that was being developed. I think they’re secretly testing it at Neople or Nexon.

In-game characters controlled by AI.

A character that reacts to various interactions such as conversations as if they were a user, and also appears to be playing dungeons.

Even if Viviana and Ah-haeng didn’t know, Sun-soo concluded that Jin-seong was definitely a test bot.

[Guild] First of all, Apos: But even if it’s actually a bot, lol, I don’t think there’s anything for my older sister to get upset about, right?

[Guild] Purely healing: No, providing this service secretly without notice is a deception to users and is just exaggerating the number of users.

[Guild] Ranger (44 years old): Is that the whippet, …

[Guild] The Bbmi: Whip Piti? Reporting abuse of the Bbmi

[Guild] Ranger (44 years old): Go!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guild] Jjajjajchachacha: I respect what the guild master said, but I don’t think it’s necessary to go overboard.

[Guild] First of all, I vote for Chachahyung too.

[Guild] Purely heals: No, that’s not it………ha…..

Sun-soo sighed as she wiped her glasses with a glasses cleaner.

Her lips pouted.

* * *

Vivi slowly turned her head and watched the back of Sunsoo walking away.

Only when the pure character that had been moving while walking on purpose suddenly disappeared did she let out a long, long sigh.

“Puhaaaa …

“Ms. Vivi, let’s move for now. Seat. Come here quickly.”

Of course, at that point, it wasn’t a moment of relief.

Since I didn’t know when Pure would return, and I didn’t know how the noise I made here would be displayed in Pure’s ‘chat window’, I had to be careful of even the slightest risk factor.

After entering the alley near the station of the sea train and walking along the road for a while, they reached the central square-like space of the Lufthansa area where roads extended radially, and only after confirming that the ‘celestials who do not exist in Lufthansa’, that is, not NPCs but actual residents living in the celestial realm, were they finally able to feel relieved.

“Mr. Jinseong, your acting is really great! Did you know that you are an actor?”

“Don’t tease me. Even without that… things are going too smoothly, so it’s a bit unsettling.”

“Why! That Seraphim’s face was so bright. He was full of smiles. He seemed to have forgotten all about Ah-haeng while talking to Jinseong-nim-.”

“That’s a problem too.”

“-huh?”

Vivi tilted her head, but Jinseong said nothing more.

If we think about the usual nature of purity, if we consider the attitude and questions that Pure has shown towards Jinseong up until now.

‘There’s no way I could let this go without saying a word. And besides… … Vivi said that Sun-soo was smiling and that her expression was good, but that was only for the first moment.’

He suddenly looked bright with a smile on his face, his expression grim.

Above all, it could be that the image of the Seraphim profession, the female priest profession that Pure had access to, was so cool that it seemed that way.

Jinseong had good reasons for these concerns.

‘The corners of her lips went up and it looked like a natural smile… but her eyes definitely looked like she was smiling… but the pupils inside them! The look in her eyes!’

It definitely looked like he was smiling because he spoke with a lot of laughter, but what were his innocent eyes like?

What was the look in Seraphim’s eyes as he asked Jinseong if he needed anything more from himself and then turned away without mercy?

‘You wouldn’t think of me as a possessed person, would you? You’d probably think of me as some kind of user with a bug or something? Or a strangely high drop rate for discontinued items?’

Plain: You can’t just casually come up with the idea that someone is possessed by Arad.

Rather than thinking such an absurd idea, I genuinely thought that I should just be treated as some kind of strange user.

It was only natural that Jinseong himself could not have predicted that Pureun and her guild members would think of her as a ‘state-of-the-art bot equipped with artificial intelligence’.

“Why worry in advance? Just think about it when it becomes a problem.”

Vivi said, hitting Jinseong’s back while he was worrying.

Should I call it comforting?

Jinseong responded with a hollow laugh.

“I told you, it’s not that easy. Ms. Vivi, you don’t know yet-.”

And that was also the point that Jinseong himself still didn’t know much about Vivi.

“Huh? I know right! So you’re saying that this person was possessed before Jin Sang-nim? The law of the goblins! ‘If it’s running smoothly, don’t touch it and leave it alone.’ Don’t you know?”

“……ah?”

Wasn’t there a crisis for her?

In Vivi’s three full years of being a thief, was there ever a time when she was in danger of being caught by users?

Even for her, who knows even less about the overall flow of the game Dungeon & Fighter than Jinseong himself, there may have been many moments when she overcame a crisis without even knowing it was a crisis.

In all those situations, it was always possible to be wary and suspicious of those around you, but Vivi was different.

“Once it’s running without any problems, don’t touch it……”

[Keep clicking… … Surely, ‘those who hatch from eggs’ are different.]

It can also be interpreted to mean that even if it was like that in the past, or in the early days of the Ice Age, it is different now.

As a faint smile appeared on Jinseong’s lips, Vivi pushed up her glasses and said.

“Of course. I’m telling you, it’s not something that only comes up in coding. If it’s Jinseong, you don’t have to worry.”

Jinseong saw her smiling brightly.

Vivi added a word while receiving Jinseong’s gaze.

“I’m here, right?”

Should I say it’s innocent or unpredictable?

Jinseong felt a slight sense of disappointment at Vivi’s confident speech.

“……If only you hadn’t said that, it would have been somewhat comforting.”

“Huh? What the heck all of a sudden? Of course you should be happy because I’m here! Let’s continue to hang out together-.”

“We’ll be traveling together from now on… Well… I feel like all the tension has disappeared. But for now, let’s go as far as the sea train.”

“- Okay, wait a minute. Then? What next? We’re not going to go together?”

“Let’s go. Looking at Vivi’s expression, I think I just need to come up with my own plan.”

Jinseong started walking again towards the Lufthansa sea train station.

Bibi ran and chased after Jinseong, who was moving quickly.

“Answer me, Jinsang! Me? With me?!”

“Well, well, thanks to that human, I figured something out anyway… First, eat that item on the Ghost Train, and then in the Lawless Zone…”

Jinseong ignored her words and refined his plan.

It may be a crisis, but if there is a bigger benefit, it is one.

A way to utilize items that you could never use or know about when you were a user.

Drawing upon another power latent in an item that only the possessed can use.

‘It’s not just a high-performance item, but if there’s information about the item’s origin or model, or if it’s someone’s symbol, then it’s even more valuable.’

What should we do and how should we do it in the future?

Besides finding and removing contaminants, what else can Jinseong do?

Jinseong’s mind, which had been exploring hundreds and thousands of possibilities, was organized into one path.

At the same time, it was also a clue obtained from the item that Ah-hang had shown.

‘Let’s go. To that place. The current users may not be able to go, but I can go.’

Ah-haeng used a device called .

Where can I get items related to the Shingeom Yang-eol?

Also, who is the person there?!

‘To the Tower of Despair. I must meet Soldoros.’

Jinseong made a promise.
