#Episode 264, Formation of investigation team
“During the investigation, all the people who were considered suspects or even slightly suspicious were those people… . haha. Well, you might be wondering what this is all about. “I will tell you more details later.”
Gu Changsu barely managed to control his increasingly stiff facial muscles and nodded slightly.
Because I had to react to something.
“In any case, dungeon crime is something that cannot be dealt with without finding the scene, and the scene was so widespread and irregular that it was virtually impossible to crack down on it properly. In the midst of that struggle, the tower was created. And as if by design, dungeon crime has decreased.”
Park Dae-geun stopped talking and raised his eyebrows.
What I meant was that it was a reasonable inference at this point.
‘no… What you said is correct, though. Why do you sit me down and talk like that?’
Gu Chang-soo opened his mouth, taking special care to keep his voice from shaking.
“So what we’re going to do is… .”
“ah. okay. So the association decided that the tower was an opportunity to concentrate public power. “It’s impossible to monitor hundreds of sites one by one, without knowing where they will be at any time, but isn’t the tower just like an alley?”
under… . So you’re telling me to join the player subjugation team now?
“The association decided to form an investigation team as an elite alliance of the military and large guilds. I heard from my son that you are a talented person who easily surpasses A1 level. How about joining us? “For now, he will be listed as a member of Taekwang, but since he is strictly a guest member, he will be paid handsomely.”
Gu Chang-soo politely expressed his refusal.
Unless you went crazy, there was no reason to jump into the fire pit on your own.
“Uh, thank you for the offer, but… I am-”
No, I was going to refuse.
“Oh, indeed. “Let’s go together.”
Park Tae-kwang, who was next to him, came in with a lunge and cast Shoulder-to-Shoulder.
[An intimacy quest has occurred.]
[Highest Intimacy Challenge: Upon completing the next quest, your intimacy with ‘Park Tae-gwang’ will reach its maximum level.]
[Participate in the ‘Dungeon Crime Investigation Team’ mission with Taekwang Park.]
[Intimacy quests cannot be refused.]
‘No way!’
Fuck fuck fuck fuck!
야이 개새끼야!
Isn’t this supposed to happen when we’re drinking together?
Ask for an item!
Instead, ask for a guarantee!
I tried swearing at Park Tae-gwang with my eyes, feeling like I wanted to jump, but he just split me apart without notice.
“Hehehe. Are you going?”
“… … okay.”
“Ugh! “I like it.”
“haha. “Well thought out.”
It’s better… … It’s not true, but thanks to this, I became aware of the crisis facing the ‘players’.
I don’t know what the heck is going on.
‘Still, it’s safer if you’re with Park Tae-gwang.’
A friend named Park Dae-geun was also created.
Park Dae-geun was very favorable from the first introduction, as if he had separate characteristics as “Han Seong-jun’s acquaintance” and “son’s friend.”
‘okay. ‘It won’t be a problem.’
As long as the license number is not discovered… .
smart.
At that time, a knock on the door broke Gu Chang-soo out of his thoughts.
Next, the secretary’s voice was heard.
-Guild leader. A guest has arrived. He’s a representative of the super special brigade.
“iced coffee. Looks like you came. “Tell them to come in.”
Super special brigade? … Are you a soldier?
Gu Chang-su looked at the door with puzzled eyes.
Crash.
“hello. mister. “I saw you at the graduation ceremony, right?”
“haha. Welcome. “I wonder if they forgot Captain Kwon.”
Gu Chang-soo’s eyes were so wide that they seemed like they were about to pop out.
“!”
I really wondered why this damn world was doing this to me.
Kwon Ha-seon also recognized Gu Chang-soo.
“uh… ? this person… .”
“hmm? “Do you two know each other?”
Ha-seon Kwon didn’t even know that Dae-geun Park was asking, so he thought about it and seemed to understand the situation! and snapped his fingers.
Then he walked up to Gu Chang-soo and grabbed him by the collar.
Come on.
‘ah… … ‘Fuck.’
Gu Chang-su froze.
I didn’t think anything of it.
“Oh my! You bastard, you attacked even Taekwang guild members and got caught! Right? This was just crazy. “You got it right.”
The Park family, who had been watching the absurd development in a daze, suddenly came to their senses and tried to stop Kwon Ha-seon.
“W-what’s going on?”
“Why are you doing this to Changsu?”
“Changsu… brother?”
Only then did Kwon Ha-seon realize that there was a misunderstanding, letting go of Gu Chang-soo’s collar and stepping back.
“… “You weren’t captured?”
Park Tae-kwang reprimanded Kwon Ha-seon.
“What bullshit. This is my relative. “He is participating in this investigation team as our guest.”
Of course, I didn’t get really angry because I had experienced for three years that Kwon Ha-seon was naturally a bit clumsy.
Instead, he straightened up Gu Chang-soo’s crumpled front hair and apologized.
Crack.
“sorry. He’s a bit smart. “My brother understands.”
“… … .”
Gu Chang-soo couldn’t react.
“… … .”
Kwon Ha-seon also watched the situation in silence.
Park Dae-geun stepped forward and settled the commotion.
“Hmm. There must have been some misunderstanding. “Let’s take a seat first.”
After everyone took a moment to catch their breath, they introduced themselves to each other again through Park Tae-gwang’s mouth.
Ha-seon Kwon said with a grin.
“therefore… , Koo Chang-soo is also friends with Han Seong-jun. “You mean that?”
“okay.”
That day, Han Seongjun flew away with something he could use.
And not long after, Han Seong-jun appeared in front of the screen to block the four-armed giant.
After that, he went into hiding again.
‘however… ‘You became friends in just a few hours?’
Kwon Ha-seon’s eyes were saying that to Gu Chang-soo.
However, other words came out of my mouth.
“okay. I guess I was mistaken. Excuse me. nine. window. number. Seed?”
Gu Chang-su, who was not without his wits, was experiencing hell.
“… … no. Well, that can happen.”
Even though I knew it was a swamp, I had to step into it.
* * *
What Gu Chang-soo didn’t know was that there was actually a separate community dedicated to players.
‘lost-korea33.com’
Someone they knew-
Originally, a bulletin board was created with the same domain address as in the world, and it was spreading and becoming active.
It was not searched on the portal,
You can only access it by entering the address directly.
In order to view and write posts, you had to write down the answers to a quiz that only the player could solve.
In the early days of Possession, every player may have looked for it at least once.
However, because it only appeared recently, Gu Chang-soo, who does not communicate with other players, had no way of knowing about it.
The player community has been on fire with one ugly story these days.
The association began to monitor players.
To be precise, it was surveillance of hunters starting with ‘330414’.
───────────
Written by [King]: Hey, you murderers!
So, just kill NPCs quickly. You crazy people. Because of you, even good people like me are being questioned.
Isn’t it time to realize that it’s not a game?
Let’s be careful before it becomes real.
───────────
└[Skittles]: The bastards of the ㄹㅇ Association are telling me to show a license whenever I do something, it’s really annoying.
└[Nightmare]: Is it certain information that a mark was placed on us? I never noticed this in real life.
└[Let’s get it]: The person who wrote the first article has verified it all. Try searching.
The player who searched the initial information article was astonished.
Not because they confirmed that they were under suspicion;
It was due to the excessive evil deeds of players who still cannot distinguish between the game and reality.
The ‘certification’ that the author mentioned is,
These were photos taken of confidential documents from the World Fighters Association placed on top of the corpse of an association executive who had appeared in the media several times.
Even the reason the author of the article killed the association executive was not to capture suspicious circumstances or to find such evidence.
It was discovered by chance while going to dig up (robbery and murder) gold from a seemingly random target.
[Nightmare]: Crazy, disgusting bastards… The ones who told me to search for that are the same. I can’t stay away any longer.
└[Let’s get the king]: Are you tying me up? Haha, you asked *Bud
[IM_TL]: But what will they say if you show them the license?
└[Skittles]: I’m not taking any particular action, but I just have a strong feeling. If you know it, their eyes look the same.
[MILLER]: No *foot. Why are they releasing the game like this when the probability of the game sucks?
└[J_JO]: Why is this situation like this?
└[Let’s get King]: @[[J_JO] Hey, where are you from?
└[J_JO]: I am from England.
└[Let’s get King]: Now that I think about it, what happened to the licenses for foreign kids?
└[J_JO]: Our license numbers are not dated. The interesting thing is that our entry dates are different, before April 14th.
└[Let’s get King]: *Same… . So doesn’t that mean that even if tens of thousands of people are saying shit right now, Korean kids are covering it all up?
Similar stories were being repeated every day without any thread.
Anyway, both sides are still in the thinking stage.
The association just designated them as a group to keep an eye on, but no special action was taken.
This is because the players were not united enough to encourage each other to help each other or to come up with countermeasures together.
However, there was no other topic of discussion.
All of the possessors in Rocco 33 are stagnant people.
Now is not the time to share systematic information.
In a real-life survival situation, it was difficult to find a person who could share useful tips with the competitors.
Then one morning,
A new piece of cake has fallen into the community.
───────────
Written by [Digital Dealer]: I am a survivor on the 44th floor.
Sigh.. I went to the 44th floor with a pool party and everyone died and I was the only one who returned.
Actually I don’t know…
At the same time as the tank head fell off, I tore it back.
The boss I saw for the first time was strong from the moment he was guarding me.
The name is Tagaros. It’s a humanoid boss.
Whether you believe it or not is none of my business, but be careful.
I’m the guy who went all the way to the 48th floor, but I’ve never seen a boss like that.
I’m leaving a message to see if anyone has any information on whether this is a random boss.
───────────
* * *
“My lord. “Can I ask you one question?”
“They say don’t talk when you’re concentrating… .”
“sorry.”
“… What.”
Tagaros was summoned to the tower.
I didn’t know if it was possible, but I was called.
It was a space I couldn’t enter without a spell book, but it seemed like summoning descendants was treated as part of my ability.
“I was wondering why you were spending your time here.”
Tagaros also knew that I was reading the gods’ texts and trying to understand them.
“What’s it like here?”
“If you need a quiet space, the kennel is good, or you can even go to our family’s castle.”
As Tagaros said, there was no need to be here just to study.
Because the studying I’ve been doing these days hasn’t been done by constantly looking at the wall, I’ve been doing it within the memories I’ve already stored in my head.
“This wasn’t the original purpose. It was both for the sake of it… . “There is an unexpected harvest.”
Tagaros asked with joy.
“Huh! “Have you had any achievements?”
“huh? ah… . “Not yet.”
Tagaros was asking about my achievements in studying.
This is clearly in progress, but the understanding is still fragmented.
“Whew. Rather… “I think there is a greater achievement.”
… Her head cleared.
It wasn’t really cloudy to begin with, but what can I say?
‘okay… .’
The magic energy has been completely captured.
The traitorous feelings that Magi had been emphasizing had calmed down considerably.
It would be similar to a dog that was let loose and got tired after wandering around the village.
I devoted myself to my studies, but perhaps Tagaros would have been of great help.
The descendants are the limbs and limbs of their master.
In other words, the murder of a relative was no different from the murder of the master.
