Login Psychopath - Chapter 132

Episode 132.

Meanwhile, Isin, who had been safely released, headed towards Count Parker.

Now that the Union Guild’s pursuit was over, I could move through the mansion without much threat.

“… … .”

In front of Count Parker’s room, where we arrived.

Yishin searched through his inventory and took out an envelope.

It was medicine I received from Kaka.

Mysterious white powder

This is the drug that Kaka used to brainwash Count Parker.

When used diluted, it helps with blood circulation and energy recovery, and may cause mild hallucinations.

However, care must be taken when handling it as it can cause mental breakdown if taken in large quantities or if you become addicted to the drug at once.

‘So this is what I have to feed it.’

It wasn’t difficult since we’d come this far.

Yishin did not hesitate and barged into Count Parker’s room.

“What!? Who are you… Ugh!”

[Count Parker has been subdued!]

At the same time, immediately after subduing the Count.

He extended his tentacles into the mouth and forced it open.

Thanks to that, the count suddenly fell into fear and screamed.

“What the heck is this…!”

“… … .”

But Isin ignored his screams and poured all the medicine into his mouth.

The effects were immediate.

[Forcibly feed the ‘mysterious white powder’ to Count Parker.]

[The medicinal effect was exerted and had a beneficial effect on the Count’s body…]

“Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh!!”

[Caution!]

[I took a large amount of the drug at once!]

[Count Parker falls into a state of extreme hallucination!]

[Count Parker… … .]

‘Okay.’

* * *

A few days later.

“Did you hear? The Count is crazy.”

Strange rumors began to circulate among the residents of the estate.

The rumors were mainly about Count Parker.

“Are you crazy?”

“But wasn’t he originally a crazy person?”

“No. This time, it’s not a metaphor. It’s really crazy. You’re saying that I’ve become like a crazy person?”

“What? Really? Why all of a sudden?”

“Well, maybe I ate something wrong? Who knows? Maybe someone poisoned me.”

“Well, I guess I did have a lot of karma.”

A tumultuous estate.

Most of the reactions were confusion, but many residents were delighted and said it was great.

But these rumors soon died down.

“That’s a rumor!”

“Anyone who dares to utter such nonsense will be severely punished!”

The soldiers of the territory stepped forward and forcibly suppressed this chaos.

Of course, this was the work of Isin and Kaka.

As soon as Kaka heard the news that the lord had been neutralized, he led the escort he had gathered and attacked the lord’s castle.

At this time, the soldiers and knights of the Lord’s castle who had lost their heads were naturally confused and could not respond properly.

If soldiers were like that, it goes without saying that mercenaries and adventurers hired for money were like that.

Everyone was busy avoiding responsibility by pretending they didn’t know anything.

Some even tried to join Kaka’s side.

“Will you accept it?”

“No? How can I trust those who betrayed me once?”

“Then I will ignore it.”

“Yeah. … … Oh, did you happen to come to the Union Guild too?”

“Union? No. That guild never came.”

“okay?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“No, just.”

Isin, who had been vaguely answering, recalled Grania’s last conversation.

‘go.’

‘what?’

‘I’ll release you, so lift the curse and go.’

‘… … !’

Honestly, I didn’t know it would be sent this easily.

This is because the opponent also had a lot of quests and public achievements.

Of course, this god cursed and threatened… .

‘Didn’t you think there would be a penalty?’

A curse that powerful usually has a corresponding drawback.

It’s a skill that can logically make a person fold, so doesn’t it make sense that there are no restrictions on its use?

There was no way she, a player ranked 6th, wouldn’t have known that.

‘Then I guess you were just flustered.’

High rankers are still people after all.

When you panic too much, human mistakes are bound to happen.

After you have figured it out and come to a conclusion.

Lee Shin called out to his group.

Gilaim showed up without any injuries, and Jeong Yu-ra was also safe because she left the party right after the incident.

However, Arthur was nowhere to be seen.

“Where is this?”

“He died. So I sent you a whisper too?”

“Oh, really? That’s right.”

I checked and it turns out that I really did get a whisper from Jung Yu-ra.

Looking at the timeline, it was when Isin was captured by the Union Guild.

I think I didn’t notice it because I was so absent-minded.

anyway.

After easily securing the lord, Isin had Kaka brainwash the lord.

Brainwashing was not difficult since the lord’s mind was already largely destroyed.

Kaka went to where the lord was imprisoned with the technicians he personally hired, and came out before the day had passed.

“… succeeded!”

[Kaka has successfully brainwashed Count Parker!]

[This is a great evil!]

[Currently, Kaka is under your control.]

[Notoriety rises.]

“That went well.”

“Thanks to you, Master… no, Arthur.”

“Okay, I understand. So, can you handle the next negotiation on your own?”

“Yes. Haha, it won’t take long.”

“I see. Then take care of it yourself.”

“All right.”

After leaving a message for Kaka, he told him to come to Edgar’s estate when he was done with his work.

Lee Shin came out of the mansion.

Gilaim asked.

“Are you going back now?”

“I should go back. I’ve been away from the territory for too long.”

I heard from Dokgo and Taeyoon that the Yeongji War is slowly coming to an end.

That meant that investigators from the royal family might come out soon.

And this prediction of Lee Shin was right.

On the way back to Yeongji, Isin received an urgent whisper from Dokgo.

– We’re in trouble!

“why.”

– A royal investigator has appeared in the territory… I think you should come.

“!”

* * *

[Arrived at Edgar’s estate.]

As soon as he arrived at the estate, Isin went to see the count.

“Master Arthur! Are you here?”

The count who welcomes you.

Count Aaron’s face had become much more pale since I hadn’t seen him before.

It seemed like he had quite a hard time dealing with the investigators from the royal family.

Isin asked.

“First, I’d like to hear an explanation of the situation. Is that possible right away?”

“Of course. Come inside.”

After bringing Isin and his party into the room, the Count began to explain.

“First of all, regarding the territory war. We succeeded in taking all nine territories that we were aiming for.”

“I heard about that. It looks like the adventurers put in quite a bit of effort.”

“Yes. It has increased by more than twenty times compared to before the lord came… Anyway, we won the battle of the territory, but then a problem occurred.”

There are a lot more users than expected.

Because of this, the battle of the land ended more easily and overwhelmingly than expected, and this upset the royal family.

Judging from the fact that an investigator came out of the royal palace just a day after the Yeongjijeon ended, it was clear that the royal family was keeping an eye on this matter.

“It’s a side effect.”

“Yes, and I don’t have a very good image in the center… That will affect me too. Sorry.”

“No, that’s okay. We can just take care of it now. Didn’t we plan everything out in advance?”

“Huh? Oh, that, is that the plan you’re going to pass on to the adventurers?”

“Yeah. Did you forget?”

“No. I remember. But I have a feeling it won’t be easy. The investigators are very picky about the estate. I’m not sure if a lie will work.”

The count answers by shaking his head.

It seemed like the opponent was quite picky.

After thinking for a moment, Lee Shin asked.

“Have you ever given a gift?”

“gift……?”

“Another name for this is bribery.”

“Oh, yes. I gave it to him. But there was no reaction.

“… … !!”

No response to bribery?

Isin let out a sigh.

‘I guess it wasn’t just anyone who sent it.’

Originally, when the investigator came, I planned to bribe them and get them to do the work.

There was almost nothing in the Kingdom of Eton that could not be solved by bribery, so Isin never once thought that this method would fail.

However, the victory in the territory battle was so overwhelming that my expectations were slightly off.

This incident attracted excessive royal attention.

Thanks to this, there were changes in the personnel dispatched.

“What should I do?”

“… … .”

The Count asked worriedly.

Lee Shin thought for a moment and then answered.

“I should meet him first. My status as a diplomat in the territory is still valid, right?”

“Of course it is valid. Would you like to meet right away?”

“Then that would be good.”

“Okay, then I’ll have someone guide you.”

* * *

Lee Shin went to see the investigator with half worry and half optimism.

But surprisingly, the other person knew this.

“No, you?!”

“?”

The royal investigator opened his eyes wide and greeted Yishin warmly as soon as he saw him.

Isin narrowed his eyes in embarrassment.

‘Who is it?’

When I see something familiar, I feel like I have actually met it before… .

My head was still spinning, but I couldn’t remember exactly.

Isin asked cautiously.

“… … Do you know me?”

“Huh? Haha! Don’t you remember? Well, it’s been a while already.”

“… … ?”

“Wicked. Didn’t we meet in the orc territory? You even brought us a wanted criminal back then. Unfortunately, you didn’t capture him alive.”

“Wick? Wanted… ahhh!”

Lee Shin remembered it later.

It was the knight who was chasing Cedric.

Lee Shin answered with a pretended smile.

“I remembered.”

“Then you should remember. Didn’t I introduce you to Count Narik? Haha!”

“I still feel very grateful for that.”

“Of course, the Count passed away right after meeting you.”

‘ah!’

“That’s a coincidence!”

“Huh? Oh, I’m not particularly suspicious of you. It’s already been revealed that it was the work of an adventurer named Arin.”

“……hmm?”

Wick, who clearly identifies the culprit without any particular excuses.

Isin asked cautiously.

“Did they confess?”

“No? I said I was wronged.”

“then…….”

“But after saying that, he escaped from prison shortly after. He even released other criminals who were incarcerated in the process and set the city on fire. It seems like his intention was revenge… If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be fair to say that he actually confessed?”

“uh…….”

Yishin shut his mouth.

Freeing criminals and setting the city on fire.

In fact, that was all Lee Shin’s (then Lee Si Eun’s) opinion.

“… … .”

Therefore, if there was such a thing as a conscience, it would have been normal to feel some guilt towards Arin and his group at this time.

The damage that her group and the Five Star Guild suffered from that incident was truly enormous, and even now, she is resented by other users who participated in the rescue quest at that time.

But there’s no way this person has a conscience.

Lee Shin’s mind has always been the same.

It’s the fault of the one who got fooled!

Yishin immediately answered shamelessly.

“That’s so bad…! That’s right!”

“Do you think so too?”

“Yes. No, even if they weren’t the criminals in the first place, if they were that bad, they would have eventually committed a crime of a similar level!”

“I guess I can communicate with you quite a bit. Haha!”

[Wick likes you.]

[Intimacy increases slightly.]

‘good.’

Thanks to the good relationship we had before, things are going smoothly!

At this rate, it seemed like I could easily persuade him and send him back.

“But what’s the matter with you, sir?”

“Me? Oh, right.”

Isin, feeling relieved inside, asked lightly.

… But the answer that came back this time was more than Isin had imagined.

Wick looked around cautiously and then answered:

“Originally, I shouldn’t have said this… but since you’ve already proven your abilities, I guess I can say it.”

“yes?”

“The King intends to take this opportunity to eliminate Earl Aaron.”

“!!!!”
