Login Psychopath - Chapter 160



Only Noblemtl

Episode 160.

“Is that okay!?”

“So what?”

“Isn’t it too dangerous? Even the Union Guild will get involved… .”

“It’s okay. Just don’t get caught.”

If you don’t get caught, nothing happens.

And if you’re an assassin ranker, you probably know how to disguise yourself.

“disguise?”

“uh.”

“Well, I guess I can do it.”

“I’ve hardly ever done it, but… … I can do it if I try.”

“me too.”

As expected, the rankers nodded.

A satisfied smile appeared on Isin’s lips.

But perhaps that smile was making him feel uneasy, one ranker asked cautiously.

“… … But why are you asking this?”

“You have work to do.”

“If you are a noble….”

“Besides that, there’s something I have to do before that.”

“… … ???”

The rankers tilt their heads.

Lee Shin continued his explanation.

He said he was going to fight Shining Star Guild and other large guilds.

So as part of that method, you have to kill rankers from other large guilds.

The rankers were shocked by the crazy act on an unimaginable scale.

“Are you crazy!?”

“why?”

“Why!? This guild is already in disarray, so why are you messing with it!”

“That’s, um… … .”

Since it was Ian who killed him, it was to divert their attention elsewhere… .

I couldn’t say it like that.

After thinking of an appropriate answer, Lee Shin answered.

“Because of the main quest.”

“Hmm… … ?”

“this?”

“Yes. You guys probably know the situation of the other guilds right now. They’re probably all on the opposite side from us.”

“I guess so?”

Although the rankers did not know what kind of conversation Isin and Grania had, they still knew the general situation.

Count Aaron was one of the nobles who fell out of favor with the king.

The fact that a guild had settled in his territory meant that he was destined to be at odds with the majority of guilds that would side with the royal family.

Lee Shin continued speaking.

“Then, since we’re going to become enemies later anyway, wouldn’t it be better to think of it as reducing our power in advance?”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“Isn’t that too much?”

“There’s no need to do this from the beginning. I think it’s too risky compared to what you’re getting.”

Despite Lee Shin’s explanation, the rankers all expressed pessimistic opinions.

When you compare the benefits you can gain with the risks you have to take, it doesn’t pay off.

Although it was an in-depth analysis by the assassin rankers, Isin shook his head.

“No? That’s not necessarily true.”

“what?”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ll know when you see it. I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry about that part.”

“… … .”

The rankers lock eyes with each other at Isin’s boast.

But the worries didn’t last long.

“… … Then I understand.”

Rather than saying that he believes in God, it would be more accurate to say that he believes in Grania, who believes in God.

Since she was the type of person who made the right decisions in most situations, I thought there must be some good reason for her alliance with Isin.

‘I’m sure Gilma has some thoughts too.’

‘He may seem a bit crazy… …, but he’s still capable, so maybe that’s why he became an ally? No, that’s probably true.’

‘It may only seem like that on the outside, but inside it may be a calculated action… … .’

… … something like this.

But this was a huge misunderstanding.

The alliance with Isin itself had good reasons, but giving up the rankers was simply because Isin asked for it.

I guess I gave him a toy because I didn’t know what he would do if I left him alone.

She was very cool-headed in these areas.

Anyway, I didn’t think deeply about it and decide.

Even most of Isin’s confidence came from having someone to blame if things went wrong.

… but there was no way for them to know that.

The rankers asked with serious expressions on their faces.

“So, what are you going to do specifically?”

“I will explain that from now on.”

* * *

Yishin’s method was simple.

Because it was the same method used to lure Ian to death.

“Catch him.”

“yes.”

puck!

“……100 million!”

First, Gilaim captures one of the opposing guild members.

Then Arthur disguises himself as that person and approaches the rankers belonging to that guild.

“excuse me.”

“yes?”

A total of 4 people.

It was just the right number.

“Why us?”

“Your Majesty called me….”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. Please wait behind that alley.”

“Aha, I see.”

Use the power of disguise to naturally lure them out.

As they enter the alley, the Union Guild assassin rankers who were waiting with Isin jump out.

at the same time.

Thud!

“Who, huh??!”

“… Ugh, ugh, ugh!!”

“……100 million!”

Cover the mouth and kick the back of the knee to knock the opponent down.

As expected from an assassin ranker, their movements are as smooth as flowing water!

-Arrest!

-Paralyzing poison!

There is also the use of appropriate suppression skills.

Thanks to this advantage in numbers and the advantage of surprise, it was not difficult to capture the opponent.

The Union Guild rankers glanced at Isin and asked.

-Can I just kill him?

-no.

-… … No?

-It’s a waste to just kill him. Just wait.

Before that, I had something to say.

He approached the opposing rankers who were glaring at him while possessed.

But it wasn’t really a situation where we could have a conversation.

“We… .”

“town!”

“Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh!”

“… … .”

A very struggling opponent!

Lee Shin stretched out his legs without hesitation.

Because originally, there was nothing better than violence to silence a noisy opponent.

Bam!

“… … Ugh?!”

“!?!?”

“shut up.”

“… … .”

The effect was clear.

An alley suddenly filled with silence.

Slowly, the anger in the other person’s eyes subsides, and in its place a feeling of confusion takes hold.

With this, Isin signaled to the Union rankers that he was ready to talk and whispered to them.

-Just keep your hands off my mouth.

-Oh, I see.

As I took my hand away from my mouth, the other person asked cautiously.

“… …Who are you?”

“We are rankers of the Shining Star Guild.”

“What!?!?”

“!?”

Lies that come out as if breathing!

Not only the opponents, but also the Union rankers who are on the same side as Isin are startled and turn their heads.

The only ones who remained calm were Arthur and Jung Yu-ra, who had become somewhat accustomed to Isin’s antics.

After a while, the other person came to his senses and opened his mouth stammeringly.

“Shining Star?”

“okay.”

“Why in Shining Star… …?”

Rather than being angry, he looks more curious!

It was a natural thing.

Because they’ve never done anything to deserve such hostility.

Rather, we have always maintained a smooth relationship with the Shining Star Guild because our interests are aligned… .

That’s why it was more shocking.

You were doing fine, why all of a sudden?

Did you plan to betray us from the beginning?

“okay.”

“No way… What!?!?”

“No. To be exact, it would be more accurate to call it retaliation. Do you think you could kill our guild members and get away with it?”

“………what?”

It was the same ‘what?’, but the emotions contained within were different.

If the first feeling was confusion and anger, what followed was only doubt.

“Kill them? Us? Who?”

“Ian.”

“Ian… … What are you talking about!?!?!?!?!!”

But it was a surprising opponent.

Suddenly, a sudden realization came over him and he raised his head.

“No way, do you think we killed him?!”

“Is that what revenge means?!”

“okay.”

“… … What nonsense are you talking about!”

gibberish.

That’s true, I guess.

Ian was a very strong opponent even as an individual, without the guild’s halo.

Even if he is a high-ranking player, it won’t be easy to catch him, and it will be even harder to not get caught later.

Because the users’ attention is focused on it, the rankers inevitably have their positions exposed to some extent.

“How can we kill him, you crazy bastard!”

“No, if it was us in the first place, we would have been caught a long time ago!”

So, the rankers were shouting as if it was absurd… .

Lee Shin was shameless.

“You guys would know better.”

“?!”

Anyway, it’s your doing!

“So this is revenge for the dead guild members!!”

“That means we didn’t kill them!!!”

“Shut up! Even if you pretend not to know until the end, it won’t work on me!”

“… … Ah! What the hell… .”

The opponent was acting like he was going to die from injustice, but his words did not end.

This was because Yishin, who thought that it was enough, swung his sword and cut off his words.

Phew!

Pfft pfft!!

[Killed the opponent.]

[Notoriety rises.]

[I committed murder in the territory!]

[Be careful, the soldiers of the estate may now chase you.]

“… … Ugh.”

Rankers frowning.

Isin turned his head.

“why.”

“No, because of the notoriety.”

“What? Ah… … .”

‘but.’

A message that your notoriety is rising.

It was a message that I had seen so many times, but not to the rankers.

Even if you’re an assassin ranker, you don’t just go around killing random users.

It was natural.

Just because you’re a ranker doesn’t mean you have two lives, and you also have to manage your notoriety stat.

Managing your notoriety was essential, as it would become tiring overall to play the game if your notoriety got too high.

It was no different for the rankers.

So, usually, you level up through hunting and only attempt assassination when you receive a quest or request that is absolutely necessary.

This is a special case of a person who goes around slicing anyone regardless of their notoriety.

In fact, the rankers were also looking at Lee Shin, who was overly calm despite his notoriety, as if they found it strange.

‘Don’t you care about notoriety? No, I don’t think so.’

‘So, is it famous? Not so much that it’s a big deal?’

‘Well, to that extent, Gilma-nim… … .’

… … There were some misunderstandings, but anyway, the first button was buttoned up well.

The rankers asked.

“What are we going to do now?”

“We have to keep doing this for the time being.”

* * *

As Isin said, the hunt for rankers continued.

As he roamed the territory, Isin continued to assassinate rankers belonging to other large guilds.

The assassination itself went smoothly because the rankers Grania had given us were more capable than expected.

Pok! Pok! Pok!

“What did we do to deserve this!”

“Who the hell are you…!”

“Us? We are assassins sent by the Shining Star Guild.”

“!?!!??!”

At this time, selling the name of the Shining Star Guild was a bonus.

-No, isn’t that too obvious?

-what?

-Anyone can see that this is suspicious! Shining Star Guild wasn’t originally this aggressive of a guild… … .

But isn’t it too suspicious that you’re suddenly causing such a fuss?

If things continue like this, it wouldn’t be strange if they noticed that I was pretending to be from the Shining Star Guild.

Although the ranker was expressing his doubts with concern, Isin was calm.

-Oh, it’s okay.

-?

-Because we can kill them too.

-!?!?

Lee Shin’s solution was simple.

Kill them both!

When killing a ranker from another large guild, say, “I came from Shining Star!”, and when killing a ranker from Shining Star Guild, say, “I came to avenge my dead comrade!”

“Then there would be no suspicion of impersonation, right?”

“……omg.”

The rankers held their breath.

A truly diabolical plan!

‘This crazy guy.’

There was a hint of fear in their eyes as they looked at Yishin.

I was wondering what on earth I should be thinking about in my daily life to be able to come up with plans like this as easily as breathing.

… but it’s true that the plan itself sounded quite plausible.

It wasn’t strange for these types of fights to occur between large guilds that were competing in the same territory.

This is especially true in the current situation.

Ian’s shocking death a while ago.

Rather than suspecting a third party’s impersonation, it was more natural to think that he had taken advantage of the chaos in the Shining Star Guild to draw his sword from a rival guild.

That’s how chaotic the Shining Star Guild was at the moment.
