The Devil’s Dead Child - Chapter 283
Only Noblemtl
#283, a certain phenomenon
‘It’s not enough to divide it into thirds instead of half.’
No, at least 5 parts… .
If the divided teams are reinforced with multiples that are difficult to handle, the result will still be the same.
Probably not many of them have experience dealing with level 3 or higher monsters.
Even if there was experience, it would have been at the level of adding a hand.
There are not many people who truly know the power of semi-boss level monsters and can estimate how many times stronger they have become.
Dae-geun Park, who has probably experienced all kinds of hardships before birth, or Ha-seon Kwon, who has been called out to various troubles due to the nature of his job.
And only a few guild leaders whose faces could be said to be familiar would have accurately understood the situation.
Sure enough, one of the familiar leaders spoke with a sad face.
“I don’t think this problem can be solved simply by dividing it in half. If you really become stronger in multiples of the number of people, even half of 50 is terrible.”
Was it the guild leader of the Nation of Extermination?
He was a handsome man in his late 30s to early 40s, but I couldn’t remember his name.
Park Dae-geun shook his head and answered.
“The point is that it is not simple. In minimum heat… , We need to split into teams of eight to be able to handle the extreme situation that Mr. George mentioned. the problem is… . Well, I don’t mean to disrespect the other representatives, but that’s only when I or Captain Kwon were leading the team.”
At the end of his words, Park Dae-geun looked at Kwon Ha-seon and said that it was not something to be urged without thinking.
“… … .”
Ha-seon Kwon now seemed to agree.
There is no way they did not think about the possibility of level 3 or higher monsters appearing while organizing the investigation team.
However, even for me, the conditions for correction that I learned this time were a blind spot.
Considering that it felt much easier to attack more than one monster even if it was strengthened, I think the default value for the mob was around 0.8 when adjusting the difficulty level.
When the difficulty level is adjusted to 2 times for 2 people,
In reality, you are dealing with a mob that is 1.6 times stronger.
If you think about it that way, the difficulty level for 50 players would be about 40 times the difficulty, but once you exceed a certain limit, it doesn’t matter how many times it is.
Anyway, Dae-Geun Park seemed to have set the limit at around 8 times.
The executives fell silent as a group.
I too am racking my brain, but haven’t found a clear solution yet.
‘… ‘Is this a problem that has no answer no matter what I do?’
Even if the team is divided into multiples of the number of people that Dae-geun Park or Ha-seon Kwon can handle, the strength of the remaining teams cannot all be the same.
In addition, it was not possible to supply one Goo Changsu to each team, and assuming a player encounter, it was advantageous to maintain a unified force.
There was not always clear visibility and it was difficult to maintain an appropriate distance.
This is because the detection range of the front team and the back team cannot be the same, and due to the nature of this place where there is no contact and there are many roads, if you miss it once, it is difficult to meet again.
In short, the situation is not easy either way.
The first person to break the silence was Cha Yu-ra.
“If you can’t prepare for every situation anyway… “You will have to boldly take the risk of one side.”
The heads of the executives standing around turned to Cha Yu-ra.
Some had to completely look back, because Cha Yu-ra was not a member of the leadership team.
Thanks to this, the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
However, since she had no superiors, she could not be criticized for being rude.
Although Cha Yu-ra is moving with DHG,
Strictly speaking, he participated as a representative of JSO, and was naturally excluded simply because he participated alone.
“… “I agree.”
Still, among the executives, Ma Dong-wook, who had the closest relationship with Cha Yu-ra, came forward and received the message.
Then Park Dae-geun also agreed.
“It will be like that in the end… . So, Director Cha, what risks do you think are better to take?”
When I heard the title ‘Director Cha,’ I remembered a contract that was signed with me a long time ago.
Of course, each contract was signed with Seongyong Resources, so it is not a direct transaction between the two companies.
In any case, the fact that Park Dae-geun called Cha Yu-ra by her title seemed to be an expression of his intention to treat her as an equal.
“It would be an expected risk with a lower probability.”
“It’s a lower probability… .”
At first glance, it seemed like an obvious thing to say, but Park Dae-geun nodded as if it was an answer.
‘… huh?’
I was momentarily taken aback.
The probability of encountering a player,
Probability of a level 3 or higher monster appearing… .
If the former is lower, you will have to split your team to prepare for the 3rd grade monster.
If the latter is lower, it means that we should continue to band together in preparation for the player.
It’s not that I don’t understand it… This is because there is no way to know which one – Cha Yu-ra or Park Dae-geun – was judged to be a risk with a lower probability.
‘what… ? So what is the conclusion?’
Park Dae-geun, who nodded and thought a little more, opened his mouth.
“There are certainly not many reports of level 3 or higher monsters appearing. On the other hand, 0414… , the problem of encountering them is completely unknown. I think the probability of finding them on a lower floor with a lot of people coming and going is very low, but you never know. I think it’s better to stick to the original purpose. “What do you guys think?”
“I guess so.”
‘no… wait for a sec.’
No matter how low the probability of occurrence is chosen, isn’t the result the difference between total annihilation and partial loss?
However, before I could react, the executives responded unanimously.
“I agree.”
“I agree.”
If you want to tear them down now, you need to be able to explain how the team will be divided.
However, I have not yet found a way to distribute Gu Chang-soo and Kwon Ha-seon’s level of power evenly to all teams.
Still, I opened my mouth.
“Well, I have something to tell you for a moment-”
Because I felt like something couldn’t go on like this.
However, Dae-Geun Park spoke to the investigation team just as he was eating my words.
“However, I need to pick up the pace a little. Let’s break through the low-rise section as quickly as possible. Once each team has restored its formation, we will depart immediately. Taekwang, line up first!”
“yes!”
‘her… .’
Daegeun Park turned to me only after all the Taekwang Guild members and executives had dispersed to their seats.
“Thank you for the information. But I don’t want you to come forward anymore.”
“… … .”
If you say this to their face, you have no choice but to keep your mouth shut.
‘is it so. Actually, I didn’t have anything special to say either.’
In fact, it is unclear which one is more dangerous.
Park Dae-geun quickly returns to the leading position,
I also walked back to where I was before.
“That old bastard. “If you just look at it, it’s too much.”
Gu Chang-soo, who was next to me, mumbled softly as if to comfort me.
Even to someone who didn’t know the circumstances, it seemed like he felt a little sorry for me.
『Be careful what you say. To me, he is still my friend’s father.』
-ah… , sorry.
The problem now was not Park Dae-geun’s stubbornness or his attitude of rejecting me.
His argument could be said to be sufficiently valid.
‘… It’s just that there’s no way to properly explain how bad I feel.’
Heart pounding─, pounding─, pounding─.
I was just so alone with an ominous feeling that I could hear my heartbeat.
‘okay. Fuck… . This is because I am too conscious of Marduk.’
As I was forcing myself to shake off ominous thoughts, I suddenly felt a gaze and looked out of the corner of my vision.
‘… Why is he doing that again?’
This time, Cha Yu-ra was staring at me.
***
china.
The residence of He Chunning, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress.
Although there are 80 security guards stationed here, He Chunning’s back is soaked from tension.
This is because of the guests he welcomes in the reception room.
devil.
Or a human being who can be said to be disaster itself.
But today, it was He Chunning herself who brought the devil home.
Because I had already made a contract with the devil.
“Zhongnanhai, noon two days later. You will need 3,000 troops armed with seahorse guns and about 300 B-class or higher super soldiers. And at the same time, please capture only Wu Shangfei alive.”
He Chunning asked for the power of the devil through an interpreter.
Han Sang-cheol, the devil who heard He Chun-ning’s words, asked Lim Tae-seong, the human subordinate on his left.
“Wu Shang Fei?”
“I’m talking about the Minister of National Defense.”
Han Sangcheol smiled and looked back at He Chunning.
“You’re asking me to spoon-feed everything to you. … Don’t do that. 3,000 armed soldiers, superhuman soldiers… We will support up to 400. However, be sure to keep in mind that you only get one chance.”
He Chunning nodded frantically after hearing what the interpreter said.
“Well, of course. “I will make sure you will never be disappointed.”
Han Sang-cheol stood up without bothering to wait for the interpreter.
The answer could be known just by looking at He Chunning’s movements.
He Chunning hurriedly followed to see him off, but Lin Taeseong noticed him and stopped him by shaking his head.
Not only did his superiors dislike pretentiousness, but they did not have a friendly relationship.
“ah… yes. Well, then please take a look. I will definitely make it a success!”
He Chunning gave a verbal send-off by giving a bow-shin salute, which he once saw in a Korean gangster movie.
Im Tae-seong asked Han Sang-cheol after leaving the reception room.
“Do you believe it?”
Han Sang-cheol looked straight ahead and smiled bitterly before speaking.
“… I believe in the author’s desire to survive. It’s a matter of staying quiet and being purged or becoming a leader. Judging by the look in his eyes, it seems that he felt a greater sense of crisis than we realized.”
“What should we do about the Minister of National Defense’s case?”
“If we understand the level of security and don’t make too much noise… “Send only those four people.”
“All right.”
The waiting vehicle moved forward a little to allow Han Sang-cheol to climb.
Taeseong Lim walked about ten steps ahead at a trot and opened the door to the backseat.
Crash─.
Stand tall.
But Han Sang-cheol suddenly stopped walking.
Then he frowned and looked up at the eastern sky.
Im Tae-seong’s head naturally turned to follow Han Sang-cheol’s gaze, but nothing was visible other than the clear sky and clouds.
“… “Why are you doing this?”
“Let’s find out if something is going on in Korea.”
“If something had happened, wouldn’t it have been reported?”
Now, for Lim Tae-seong, Korea was the ‘United Korea.’
Sangcheol Han corrected the error.
“You just mentioned Korea.”
“ah… Let’s find out right away. “Let’s get in the car first.”
Empty!
After confirming that Han Sang-cheol was on board, Lim Tae-seong climbed into the passenger seat and immediately called the intelligence department.
-Communication security. Unified Defense Command Office…
“I’m the chief secretary.”
The voice on the other end of the phone changed along with the sound of chattering.
-Loyalty! This is Director Lee Dae-cheol.
Since the commander-in-chief and the leaders were all from the South, the military discipline and system of the United Republic of Korea had no choice but to follow that of the Republic of Korea.
“Was there anything unusual that came from the South?”
-What can be said to be special is… .
“Please check again based on the current time.”
-All right.
The whispering of instructions and the loud typing sound continued for a moment.
-I checked, but there is no special intelligence information… .
Han Sang-cheol, who was quietly listening in the back seat, suddenly spoke.
“Paranormal phenomenon.”
Lim Tae-seong translated Han Sang-cheol’s words with a feeling of regret.
“Among paranormal phenomena.”
The first question was wrong.
It’s nothing special.
Unless there is a catastrophic change, paranormal phenomena in the present era are just like everyday life.
-ah. It’s not something to be specific about just one or two things… , We will send you a status list.
And a few seconds later.
-uh… ! This is news coming out now. This is also called a paranormal phenomenon.
“what… .”
Before Taeseong Lim could ask ‘this’, a link arrived.
~Jiing.
When I touched the link, it took me to a real-time news screen.
-Crumbling─ Kwakwang!
-Thunder and lightning flash continuously from the upper levels of the tower.
-Meteorological experts say this is not a naturally occurring cumulonimbus cloud.
Quang! Coogung!
A sudden roar was heard from outside the cockpot.
“Huh!”
Wow!
The startled driver suddenly applied the brakes.
Lim Tae-seong, who was leaning forward for a moment, quickly looked back at the back seat.
“… !”
It was the sound of the back seat door of a car falling off.
And the general was nowhere to be seen.
