Login Psychopath - Chapter 159



Only Noblemtl

Episode 159.

“Ha, I’ll do it!”

“Okay. Then who should we kill?”

“… … ?”

At Isin’s question, question marks appeared on the rankers’ faces.

He had an expression on his face like he was thinking, ‘Why are you asking this?’

Lee Shin said, waving his hand.

“Oh, I’m just talking to myself.”

“Oh, really?”

Lee Shin turned his head and whispered.

Jeong Yu-ra and Arthur answered in turn.

-Who should I kill?

-… … I don’t know.

-Then what about you, Arthur?

-I don’t really have any thoughts on this… But before that, is it really okay to kill anyone?

Arthur asked, as if he was puzzled.

It was a natural reaction since I didn’t know what was being said inside.

Lee Shin nodded and continued his explanation.

-doesn’t care.

This was an opportunity.

Originally, I planned to sneak over the walls of the nobles’ mansions and kill them… .

There is no need for that anymore.

Didn’t the king himself put the sword hilt in his hand?

Just go and kill anyone and come out.

-Huh? You need evidence?

Jung Yu-ra asked what he was talking about.

-however?

-Then it can’t be just anyone, right?

There needs to be solid evidence of treason so the king can later protect them, but that won’t work if you just kill anyone.

But to Isin, that was the sound.

When did you ever move because you had evidence?

Lee Shin answered nonchalantly.

-You just have to create evidence.

-You’re making it?

-I’m going to manipulate it.

-… … Isn’t that too dangerous!?

Jung Yu-ra is terrified.

I thought he was just saying whatever he wanted.

Outside, he’s a person who thinks and acts in various ways, but inside the game, that’s not the case at all.

‘What are you going to do now…?’

Lee Shin does whatever he wants.

If you want to take it, then take it.

If you want to kill, kill.

It’s like sacrificing a bit of IQ and a lot of conscience in exchange for the power to take action.

Instead, the side effect was that there was a huge increase in the amount of work to be done… .

This is later resolved somehow (usually by blaming others).

If that doesn’t work, they cover it up by creating another, bigger problem.

That was the way of the gods.

So that’s why I’m asking now out of concern.

but.

-no.

-……huh?

But Isin shook his head.

Most of the time she is right, but… .

This time there was no need to do that.

Because there was the right person for the job.

-The right person?

-I’m not the one who manipulates it.

-Oh, are you going to ask the Union Guild?

-No? Then I’ll do it. I’ll do it much better.

The one who asserts.

It was a well-founded confidence.

Manipulation, sowing discord, incitement, arson, and group PK, etc… .

In this respect, the experience accumulated by Isin and other users was different.

In fact, most of the incidents and accidents that occurred between rankers during the Avala Online 1 era were related to Isin, so even large guilds cannot match Isin’s know-how.

“uh…….”

Jung Yu-ra, who was speechless for a moment, soon shook her head as if in disbelief.

-Why are you so confident… … .

-Be quiet.

-So who is the right person for the job?

-Another noble.

-Huh? … … Ah!

Arthur let out a gasp as if he had realized something.

That’s probably right.

‘Not all nobles are on the same side.’

It was natural.

Especially the Kingdom of Eton.

Can’t you tell just by looking at the current state of Edgar’s estate?

Even before the Battle of Yeongji took place, there were no friendly territories nearby.

… … Of course, this was to some extent the result of Isin’s slander, but Isin didn’t think about that at all.

anyway.

The point was to sow discord.

When there are two nobles who are on bad terms.

If we can gently coax one side into cooperating with us, it will be easy to produce evidence.

Arthur opened his mouth after Isin finished explaining.

-So to sum it up, we need to find nobles who are on bad terms?

-yes.

-I don’t think it will be difficult.

Lee Shin’s thoughts were the same.

There are many if you look for them.

In fact, Arthur quickly came up with several candidates.

“I’ll share the screen with you.”

“uh.”

“There are several, but in my opinion….”

The screen Arthur brought up contained a list of the various territories in the Kingdom of Eton and the nobles who ruled over them.

It wasn’t me who did it, it was someone from another large guild who wrote a strategy guide and posted it.

Arthur picked out a few candidates and spoke.

“How about here?”

“where.”

“This is it. The distance is close, and the relationship doesn’t seem that good.”

“Good. Anything else?”

“I’ll look into it.”

Arthur continues to scroll down at Isin’s words.

At that moment, Isin grabbed Arthur’s hand, wondering what he had seen.

It was because there was something in the middle that strongly caught my eye.

“for a moment.”

“Uh, yes?”

“Look up.”

“… … ?”

“Look up.”

“Ah, yes… … .”

Arthur scrolls up slightly even though he doesn’t know English.

After a while, a smile appeared on Isin’s lips as he watched the screen.

“brother?”

“… … .”

“Do you like it?”

“Let’s do it here.”

“Huh? Where… … Huh?”

Arthur’s eyes opened wide.

The place that Lee Shin pointed to was a spiritual place with a very familiar name.

Of course, because it was a place I had been to with Isin just three days ago.

There’s no way the confusion will subside after a few days.

Rather, by now there would have been chaos, as if a hornet’s nest had been stirred up, so the fact that he went there on his own two feet meant that he had a solid motive.

Arthur turned his head and opened his mouth as if trying to understand Isin’s true intentions.

“There… … .”

“know.”

This is the answer to this question.

A smile soon appeared on his lips.

“… … What, what is it?”

Jeong Yu-ra was startled and took a step back.

Because that was the expression that a person would make when he was planning something evil.

That was actually the case.

Instead of answering, Isin thought to himself.

‘That’s good.’

Maybe, a bit risky though.

It seemed like I could finish all the annoying tasks in one go.

* * *

It happened three days ago.

[A thick aura of death…]

[Died.]

“!?”

Ian, who suffered a mysterious death.

Since it was literally a ‘questionable death’ that left only questions, the identity of the other person was completely unknown.

No, is it just the identity?

There was no way to know what had killed him, or how he had managed to lure them out by appearing exactly like one of our guild members.

“What about the item?”

“It’s the same.”

“What? Why?”

“……I don’t know.”

Fortunately, there were no item drops.

I don’t know why, but it was truly a blessing in disguise.

Because the items Ian was wearing were literally worth an astronomical amount of money.

If it had been stolen, it would have been a significant blow to the guild.

“Maybe it’s a skill penalty? Or maybe it just happened because I have a high reputation… … .”

“Anyway, that’s fortunate.”

“uh.”

Ian nodded.

It’s just fortunate that it happened, but objectively speaking, the damage was already severe.

The amount of experience points lost was so significant that not only did my ranking drop, but I also received an irreversible penalty.

[Murdered by Salseong.]

[Quest fails.]

[Failing to prove your way is righteous, you gain the permanent penalty .]

You are a loser.

The indelible scars of your first defeat at the hands of your arch-enemy will haunt you for the rest of your life.

But it is up to you whether you leave it as just a painful wound or use it as an opportunity to reflect on your shortcomings.

Remember, to become a legend, you must not be easily broken… … .

•All stats -5%

•The unique skill, , is downgraded to .

‘shit.’

Splash!

Ian gritted his teeth.

Huge penalty!

Even though it is a debuff that reduces stats by a percentage, it cannot be removed no matter how much you level up.

Rather, the more the debuff is felt, the more it grows.

The next debuff was the same.

The downgrade of , which can be said to be the identity of a legendary job user.

This could in some cases be even more fatal than the first penalty.

As for stats, you can somehow fill them up by equipping better equipment, but there was no way to deal with the fact that the skills themselves had changed.

“after.”

Ian let out a short sigh.

Guildmaster Hazel asked with concern.

“are you okay?”

“……are you okay.”

Ian nodded after washing his face dry.

Actually, it’s not that good… … .

It already happened.

It would be more constructive to do something at this time.

“What should we do now? For now, the guild is keeping quiet about this incident.”

“… … Just keep doing that. If we just leave it alone, it’ll quiet down. Anyway, no one else but us will know what’s going on.”

Fortunately, I only told Hazel, the guild master, about .

No matter how much I investigated in other guilds, there was no way to find out why this incident occurred.

“What if the other person tells you?”

“Then it’s better.”

“Because your identity will be revealed?”

“… … Uh. You still haven’t found it?”

Hazel nodded grimly at Ian’s muttering.

After Ian’s death, of course, from that moment on, the investigation into the other person began.

The face of the guild was dead, so I couldn’t just sit still.

But there was no real harvest.

“I have no idea.”

Hazel said with an apologetic look.

But it wasn’t exactly his fault, he really did his best but nothing was noticed.

Well, if you see something, you have to investigate it or not.

It would be stranger if you could figure something out from the fact that your opponent didn’t even swing his sword once.

“Then you don’t know anything other than your job… … .”

“yes.”

Ian nods.

Soon murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

The anger he felt now was beyond imagination.

I never imagined that my account, which I had raised, would be tarnished in such an absurd way.

There is no way to even fill that flaw.

A stain that can never be erased remains.

I don’t know who it is….

‘… … kill.’

Kill.

If you find it, you will definitely kill it.

After killing them, I will find out their resurrection point and kill them every time they resurrect.

Over and over again, persistently, until the opponent gives in.

‘I won’t make you regret it.’

Ian muttered eerily.

He was the type of person who would return what he received several times over.

… … but he didn’t know.

The person he was desperately looking for had just arrived at his territory.

And he is the kind of person who gives back anything even if he doesn’t receive anything in return.

* * *

“You guys, wait here for a moment.”

“I get it.”

The first thing Isin did upon arriving at the territory was to go to the Adventurer’s Guild.

On the way, Arthur asked.

“Why did you choose to come here?”

There must have been an easier place.

Lee Shin answered.

“Because this is the best.”

“… … ?”

The Shining Star Guild is in chaos right now.

Other guilds competing with the Shining Star Guild also took a keen interest in this incident.

The Shining Star Guild seems to be desperately keeping quiet, perhaps to preserve the guild’s image, but it couldn’t help but attract a lot of attention.

‘Who the hell killed Ian?’

Or, ‘Which guild is after Ian?’

Same interests.

“Why is that?”

“I have to use that.”

“… … ?”

Yishin’s plan was simple.

We will take advantage of this interest.

Rumors have no form.

So once you get swept away, you get caught up in it without any answers… .

On the contrary, if you can use it well, it becomes a more powerful weapon than anything else.

Because you can control large crowds without much effort.

“Uh uh… … ?”

“What exactly do you mean?”

Arthur and Jung Yu-ra with puzzled expressions.

Lee Shin continued his explanation.

… … For example, it was something like this.

There were many other large guilds stationed in the territory near the Shining Star Guild.

But what if.

If, not long after Ian’s death, rankers from other large guilds die en masse in his territory or other nearby territories.

What do users think when they see this?

“I thought the two guilds were fighting… … Ah!”

“yes.”

Arthur let out a sigh.

Rather than ‘an unknown powerful person who can even assassinate high rankers’, ‘a confrontation between two rival guilds’ would be more convincing.

After forcing the two guilds into the arena, Isin can take advantage of the chaos and take whatever he wants.

At the same time, it is also possible to turn your self-doubts around.

At least among regular users.

“… … Everything is good, but who kills those rankers?”

It’ll be difficult for our level.

Arthur’s question.

Lee Shin nodded and answered.

At the end, there were rankers borrowed from the Union Guild.

“Those guys.”

“!!!”.
