The Illegitimate Son of a Conglomerate in the Game Is a Genius Marksman - The Illegitimate Son of a Conglomerate in the Game Is a Genius Marksman chapter 57

Uncomfortable companion

After falling into the gate, Siyoon raised her head.

Soon after, a large, muscular body fell after him.

cooong! I looked back at the vibration and saw Kim Chul-jin approaching with an angry face.

“You! Did you really want to die?!”

“I didn’t mean to.”

“Going alone into a gate that might become A-rank someday, if that’s not something you want to die for, what the hell!”

“Then you, who followed me, wanted to die too?”

Even with the B3 gate, 24 people are the appropriate number of people to attack.

It was common to have to bring about two teams to the B1 gate.

No matter how talented you are, the gate is a rough place where you don’t know what variables will occur.

Committed alone to such a place?

‘It wouldn’t be possible without such a return or purpose.’

In the same situation as before, if it was normal, the gate attack would be considered a failure.

It would be a reasonable decision to retreat as it is and prepare for the disaster that will come soon.

There, the man in front of me gave an unexpected answer.

“Wanted to die, isn’t it natural to save you?”

The moment he heard those words, Siyoon had to hide his tired feeling.

‘To save.’

He let out a light sigh.

‘It’s so predictable, I have nothing to say.’

Well, considering Kim Chul-jin’s original character, this reaction was correct.

He is a person who perfectly personifies the human hymn.

Because Kim Cheol-jin, portrayed in the game, was that kind of person.

However, an excessively perfectly shaped image only feels awkward.

Moreover, in a world like this, even more so.

In addition, isn’t it a certain situation that either Nam Seung-min or Kim Cheol-jin is the snitch?

In such a yard, his sophistry that he jumped ‘to save himself’ only sounded empty.

Anyway, the gate is a place that is burdensome to clear alone, no matter how talented you are.

Even if he was really a snitch, Si-yoon expected that Kim Cheol-jin wouldn’t show his teeth right away.

‘If they reveal it, it will be right after destroying the gate’s core.’

Not knowing what he was thinking, Kim Cheol-jin hardened his face as if he was not joking.

“Starting with Rodriguez…”

He took a step towards Siyoon and opened his mouth.

“It wasn’t enough to foresee this situation and repel the wave, even deciding to attack the gate before the second wave begins… I am sure.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ll tell you that you are the most necessary talent for our humanity.”

“…”

Kim Cheol-jin grabbed Si-yoon’s right shoulder and continued.

“Recently, the trend of gates is unusual. In particular, the frequency of disasters has begun to increase noticeably again. Since you noticed that too, didn’t you try to prepare for the unexpected?”

After saying those words, he takes a step past Siyoon.

His grave gaze was directed over his shoulder into the darkness of the cavernous gate.

“Of course, the current human race, the holy demon group, is strong whether they like it or not. There are many people who are strong enough to be called the golden generation. So much so that no matter what catastrophe befalls it, it can be prevented. But.”

Kim Cheol-jin looked back at Si-yoon and said.

“But what about future generations?”

His fist thumped! it was rattled

“There is no human being who can overcome the years. Someday, the time will come when the present generation will also retire. Who will protect this city at such a time? They are young people like you.”

Kim Chul-jin’s serious gaze crossed Shi-yoon’s eyes.

“Especially, Wesley, young people with brilliant talent like you.”

Then he put on a sad expression.

“Of course I know. The fact that my words don’t fit the sensibility of this era. Because we have sacrificed too much in the name of survival.”

Cheoljin Kim muttered in a confused way.

“But even so, shouldn’t someone be thinking about Da Yi?”

After hearing his speech, Siyoon closed his eyes.

‘It really makes sense.’

But plausible words, in the end, are only plausible.

Outwardly, anyone can make up a good man.

What matters is the result the person created.

Because of this, Siyoon only believed what he saw with his own two eyes.

He approached Siyoon and held out his hand.

“A lot of authority in White Flame belongs to the young lady and Nam Seung-min, but when it comes to personnel, I also have it.”

I look at Kim Cheol-jin’s outstretched hand in silence.

“If you get out of this gate safely, do you have any intention of working for our White Flame? We founded the company to uphold the girl’s will to protect humanity from monsters.”

‘To protect mankind from monsters…’

That was a really good idea for the establishment.

In fact, many employees of White Flame must be working with a sense of duty to that purpose.

However, inside the present White Flame, a monster was coiled.

Siyoon only hoped that the blood and sweat they had shed under such a name would not be in vain.

“Think about it.”

“However much. I guess we still have time to talk.”

As he took the lead in the darkness, he looked back at Siyoon as if he had suddenly remembered.

“By the way, let me tell you. Can I ask one question?”

“what?”

There, his eyes narrowed for an instant.

“Why did you leave a message to Team Leader Ko, ‘If you want to find me’?”

“Did that bother you?”

“I guess it’s a bit strange.”

He stretched out his hand towards the darkness and said.

“Normally, I would have said, ‘If you want to prevent this from happening’. If only I could hear you…”

In addition, Siyoon also stretches out his hand toward the darkness.

Kim Cheol-jin’s eyes became strange as he looked at him.

“It’s as if we formed a support team because of you alone.”

Hearing this, Shiyoon smiled unconsciously.

“What are you saying, who came through the gate just because of me?”

“…if you don’t want to answer, that’s fine. It was just a matter of personal curiosity.”

“It’s not that I don’t like to answer, but…”

Siyoon continued by pouring magic into the darkness.

“It’s probably because the story could be a bit long.”

He glanced at Kim Cheol-jin and smiled.

“When this situation is over, we will talk about it then.”

There, Kim Cheol-jin frowned.

“Was it serious enough that we should talk about it separately?”

“At least for the Vice President of White Flame, that is.”

“… I’m going to have to keep you alive no matter what.”

If he did something, it would be after clearing the gate, but he didn’t know what to do with people.

It wouldn’t hurt to have insurance this way.

In the darkness of the gate that opens before long, the scenery in front of them begins to change completely.

Cheoljin Kim murmurs involuntarily at that overwhelming phenomenon.

“This···.”

Silently, Siyoon pulled the pistol out of the holster and lifted it.

. . . What I saw was a village in ruins.

Through the gloomy clouds, the icy wind blows through the broken alleyways and vomits strange cries.

Siyoon raised her head to the raindrops that began to drip.

A dreary air drifts between the grayish-white collapsed buildings.

A tilted telephone pole and sparks flying over a broken neon sign.

They took a step forward at the familiar yet unfamiliar sight.

Sometimes there were gates like this.

A gate that preserves a part of the destroyed world intact.

And whenever they encountered a scene like this, people would ask countless questions.

If this really reflected the world destroyed by the Gate, how many worlds were destroyed by the Gate?

Why did Gate destroy so many worlds?

Is there really no way to stop the gate from appearing?

A bloody teddy bear touches Shiyoon’s feet.

If not, then… Is destruction inevitable in this world after all?

He bent down and picked up the rain-soaked doll.

Seeing this, Kim Chul-jin let out a light breath.

“really···. I feel bad whenever I see this. Isn’t it?”

“…maybe.”

However, Siyoon’s complex mind took precedence.

If this place is really a fragment of a destroyed world, isn’t that too tragic?

That only Gate holds evidence that this world existed.

The one who actually destroyed this world was Gate, and the only one who remembered it was Gate.

Perhaps in the future, humanity will break down the gate to survive, as it has done so far.

In the process, the last traces of worlds that no one remembers will disappear together.

Siyoon puts the doll in her hand under the broken banner.

Then he raised his head and saw the end of the world that had already reached its end with his eyes.

If so, at least Siyun wanted to engrave this scene in his mind forever.

Even if this gate collapses, he can remember that this world also existed.

That’s because he had a perfect memory.

“Clack,” said Siyoon, who loaded the pistol.

“I’ll go.”

“···yes.”

As they made their way through the cracked and cracked asphalt to the main street of town, they were greeted by a huge wall of fog.

“This gate seems to have a fairly simple structure.”

Cheoljin Kim murmured.

As he said, the inside of the gate was usually more complicated than this.

Gate is also a being with a will.

It was only natural to prevent attackers from easily reaching the core.

So it was common to weave the structure like a maze, or to release all sorts of traps or monsters.

Because of this, the simple structure was rather close to a bad omen.

“It might not be an easy fight than I thought.”

If the structure of the gate was simple, it meant that something powerful enough to be simple was waiting for them.

Even in the game, the inside of the gate had strong randomness, so even Si-yoon couldn’t dare to predict what would happen next.

I can only think of a few of the most probable ones.

“Are you ready?”

Siyoon looked up at the wall of fog that stretched all the way to the end and said to him.

“If you want to leave a will, tell me. Don’t wait.”

“Don’t worry about that. I’m still pretty straight to die here.”

Kim Cheol-jin passed a white thread to Si-yoon.

It was a relatively common artifact called ‘Ariadne’s thread’.

When Siyoon picks up the thread, it disappears as if it had never existed in the first place.

But even so, he could feel the thread connecting him.

“With this, if we ever get separated, we will be able to get back together easily.”

“···Right.”

“Then shall we go?”

“No, could you wait a minute?”

“As long as your heart is ready. Gate time passes slowly anyway.”

As he said, there were deviations, but usually the time at the gate passed much slower than outside.

If it wasn’t for that, since we don’t know when Tiamat will try to descend again, we wouldn’t be able to relax like we are now.

Siyoon closed her eyes pretending to concentrate for a moment.

Then, naturally, the characteristic shop is opened.

[You can select one desired keyword as the effect of the talent ‘God of the Dice!’ When you select a keyword, one related attribute must appear.]

Keywords that can be seen even with closed eyes.

[Physical body], which was lacking for a long time, was in a situation where Agzenon’s bracelet and Lee Hyung-gwon’s leather gloves quenched the thirst to some extent.

However, no matter how good your body is, if you don’t know how to use it effectively, you will be ineffective.

Because of this, he chose the [close combat] keyword as originally planned.

[I chose ‘close combat’ as the keyword.]

[The characteristics related to ‘close combat’ must appear.]

At that moment, a message he had never seen before appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations! The god of dice pointed out the number ‘6’!]

[Appears with enhanced keyword-related attributes!]

At that point, Siyoon almost opened her eyes wide.

‘God of the dice had this kind of effect?’

Until now, I was wondering why the attribute was named ‘Dice’, but it seems that this effect was hidden.

Surprisingly, the usual familiar menu spread out in front of him.

[One. Attribute ‘Spirit of Heavy Weapons’ (Requires Attribute ‘God of Machinery’)

When using a weapon classified as a heavy weapon, the power of the imprinted magic is increased by 1.3 times, the recoil is greatly reduced, and the accuracy is doubled.

2. Enhanced ‘Shawn Sea Power I’

The physical burden when the shallow sea power is activated is reduced.

3. Attribute ‘Gunkata+’ (Requires Attribute ‘Shallow Power’) (Appears as an effect of Attribute ‘God of the Dice!’)

Become a master of melee combat using pistols. Based on sophisticated analysis ability, you can predict and avoid the opponent’s attack or counterattack by calculating the recoil of the gun.

Additional effect: The pistol’s durability becomes very hard temporarily, allowing it to deflect enemy attacks.]

After reading the contents, Siyun swallowed a sigh without realizing it.

Neither of them was a bad option.

The first attribute, ‘Spirit of Heavy Weapons’, was a simple yet powerful trait that could be used in the future even now that heavy machine guns have been operated.

The second attribute, ‘Shallow Sea Power I’, was also a must-have attribute considering the amount of mental power that was consumed while the shallow sea power was used frequently.

However, it was even more difficult to ignore the third characteristic, ‘Gunkata+’.

It was an attribute related to [close combat] that he had been aiming for from the beginning, and it was because of the effect that exactly complemented one of the parts he lacked the most.

In addition, there is an additional effect due to the characteristic ‘God of the dice!’

As for this additional effect itself, I have never used the basic ‘Gunkata’, so I have no idea how good it is.

However, an additional effect appeared after a long time, and I was reluctant not to choose it.

In addition, he eventually chose the [Close Combat] characteristic ‘Gunkata+’ as originally planned.

[You have purchased product number 3. 2 attribute points are consumed.]

[I acquired the characteristic ‘Gunkata+’!]

Only then did Siyoon open her closed eyes.

Cheoljin Kim, who saw that, asked.

“Are you ready now?”

“egg plant.”

Led by Cheoljin Kim who nodded, they walked into the fog.

At the same time, Si-yoon felt the presence of Kim Chul-jin, who had been by his side until just now, disappear in an instant.

Soon, the raindrops intensified with the clearing fog.

Shoot ah-! and the asphalt of the street gets wet with rainwater.

Left alone, he narrowed his eyes.

. . . At the end of it stood a man.

Black coat, black trousers with a leather belt.

In addition to the holster on the thigh… even huge sunglasses like goggles.

Seeing that, Siyoon swallowed a laugh without even realizing it.

‘I wonder if it’s this pattern after doing something.’

Choi Si-yoon is there.

It was himself.

The guy gave Siyoon a creepy smile.
