◈Episode 133◈

The difference between a professional and an amateur

Lee Wan-yong spoke to the camera in an excited voice.

“Hello! Today is a truly happy day. A guest who was thought to be extinct has appeared again!”

Lee Wan-yong pointed at Shin Dae-seong with both hands.

Shin Dae-seong, dressed in a suit, bowed his head briefly and greeted me.

“This is detective Shin Dae-seong from the unsolved cases unit of Gangnam Police Station 2.”

“You guys are surprised! That’s right, it’s Detective Shin Dae-seong from the most popular unsolved crimes unit right now. The response is explosive!”

It wasn’t a normal comment. Comments started coming in like crazy in the chat window.

-Detective Shin Dae-seong really appeared!

-Aren’t you trying to arrest Lee Wan-yong?

-I think I have a weakness for Lee Wan-yong. Otherwise, why am I here?

Lee Wan-yong spoke to Shin Dae-seong.

“Many subscribers are suspicious of Detective Shin’s intentions for his guest appearance. Can you explain it to me?”

“Yes. The reason I appeared on this show was to hear Mr. Lee Wan-yong’s honest answer.”

“Yes! Detective Shin had something to investigate with me. If he wins the bet with me, he’ll hear my honest answers. Some people say to just arrest me… If I remain silent, Detective Shin will be at a disadvantage.”

Shin Dae-seong asked with a puzzled expression.

“It seems like there are more haters than supporters?”

“That’s right, there are a lot more subscribers who hate me than I do, about 8 to 2. They watch the show expecting me to suffer. Unfortunately, that has never happened.”

“No, I think today is that day.”

“Oh~ I really liked what you just said. You seem to know a lot about broadcasting.”

“I don’t care about that, I just want to hear the truth.”

Lee Wan-yong checked the chat window and was pleasantly surprised.

“Detective Shin has set the hearts of anti-fans on fire. They are flooding him with supporters who want him to win. There are many questions about what game he will play······.”

Lee Wan-yong answered after a long pause.

“Today is the best of the best, I picked five games that I played in the past and got a good response.”

As soon as Lee Wan-yong finished speaking, complaints from antis poured in.

-It’s a game that is unilaterally advantageous to traitors!

-Detective Shin, just arrest him!

Kim Han-gyeol looked at the monitor and asked the PD in charge.

‘What kind of game have you prepared?’

It was a small voice, almost a whisper, because they were filming.

The responsible PD also answered in a lowered voice.

‘Haven’t you heard what Lee Wan-yong said?’

‘Yes, that was the condition for answering Detective Shin’s questions truthfully. Lee Wan-yong decides the game, and Detective Shin decides the content of the questions.’

‘Have you ever touched a poisonous snake or spider?’

Kim Han-gyeol already looked like he was dying from embarrassment.

‘That’s impossible because I got warned about the accident. I selected 5 games that got good responses from subscribers.’

‘Anything that is relaxing would be beneficial, right?’

‘That’s right. He’s never been defeated. He really seems to have no fear.’

‘What game is the first?’

‘It’s Russian roulette of death.’

‘What game name is so scary?’

The PD in charge gestured to a table where a rotary pistol was placed.

‘That revolver over there has a single blank round in it. It’s a real Russian roulette game where you put it to your head and pull the trigger.’

‘I guess I’m lucky······.’

‘It’s not about luck, it’s about brains and observation skills. The real difference from Russian roulette is that it’s not real bullets and ‘Seon’ can tell where the bullets are. In reality, it’s more like a game of brains like poker. That’s why Lee Wan-yong has never lost.’

Kim Han-gyeol thought about it for a moment and answered.

‘Then isn’t the line too advantageous? If you leave the last step and hand it over, it’s over. Like the foot of a mountain in a word game?’

‘There is a check for him. If he suspects it, he can pass at the very beginning. Then the line that handed over the gun is pulled, and he has to pull twice in a row.’

‘Oh~ There is such a method.’

‘And ‘san-gi-chuk’ is not a true one-shot word either. There is also a word called ‘seok-gom-bal’. Of course, there are problems with spacing, etc., but it is not perfect according to the rules.’

‘Lee Wan-yong has never lost at ‘Russian Roulette’? Is that possible?’

‘I said it was similar to a poker game. Lee Wan-yong predicts where the bullet will be by watching the opponent’s reaction.’

Kim Han-gyeol nodded and asked.

‘The scare bomb isn’t real, is it? If you shoot it at a person’s head, it will cause serious injury.’

‘Of course, it’s not a real bomb. It’s a weakened version, but you can still feel the tremendous pain and shock. These are the scenes that the guests have experienced so far.’

The responsible PD gestured to the second monitor.

There were successive scenes of guests being tricked into playing Russian roulette.

-bang!

-Kaaaak~

‘Women are no exception······.’

‘The loud noise can cause damage to your eardrums. Burns to your skin are common due to the heat from the muzzle.’

‘The game is finally starting. I trust Detective Shin!’

Lee Wan-yong and Shin Dae-seong entered the ‘Russian Roulette of Death’ game room.

The two sat at the table facing each other, and Yi Wan-yong spoke kindly.

“Detective Shin, would you please do the first step?”

It was an advantageous situation to know where the bullet was.

“Mr. Lee Wan-yong, please do good.”

“Are you giving up on the game?”

“No, when you lose the game, you just have to declare again that you will tell only the truth.”

“I will not be able to refuse because the opponent is.”

As Shin Dae-seong nodded, Lee Wan-yong picked up the revolver. Then, he checked the location of the bullets and handed them over to Shin Dae-seong.

“Would you like to pull it?”

“······.”

“If you feel like the next step is dangerous, just say pass.”

Shin Dae-seong fixed his gaze on Lee Wan-yong and put the gun to his head.

-Click.

Shin Dae-seong took the first step without hesitation.

Fortunately, the tear gas didn’t explode.

Shin Dae-seong was shocked by what happened so suddenly, but was immediately relieved.

‘Oh! I thought my liver was going to fall off. Anyway, I’m glad. Now is it Lee Wan-yong’s turn······.’

No, Shin Dae-seong did not hand over the gun.

-Click! Click!

He pulled two more feet in succession.

Lee Wan-yong showed a surprised expression.

“You are truly amazing. I have never seen anyone so courageous. Is it my turn now?”

Lee Wan-yong smiled and held out his hand.

-Click.

Shin Dae-seong pulled one more step.

The pistol cylinder holds six bullets, and Shin Dae-seong fires four shots in succession.

Now there’s a 50% chance.

The smile disappeared from Lee Wan-yong’s face.

“It seems like you’re a psychopathic detective, just like the rumors say. Would you like to take a step further?”

“If you want······.”

“!”

-Click!

On the fifth shot, again, there were no blank bullets.

Kim Han-gyeol, who had been very nervous, clenched his fists and rejoiced.

‘Nice! This is 100% comfortable!’

The chat room was also in chaos. It was a festive atmosphere as Lee Wan-yong was finally shot.

I was worried about Kim Han-gyeol, so I asked the PD in charge.

‘Isn’t that abstaining from pulling the trigger?’

‘That’s a violation of the rules. Even if there were no such rules, Lee Wan-yong would pull the trigger.’

‘why?’

‘Lee Wan-yong wouldn’t do anything to lower the viewer ratings on his own.’

Shin Dae-seong handed a gun to Lee Wan-yong.

“here.”

“Oh, my… As expected, you’re not easy.”

Lee Wan-yong accepted the gun without refusing.

Then, with a somewhat nervous expression, he put the gun to his head.

“I always keep my promises!”

Lee Wan-yong closed his eyes tightly and pulled the trigger.

-bang!

“Crawk!”

Lee Wan-yong started circling around the table with a pained expression on his face. The chat window was flooded with comments saying that he felt relieved, exhilarated, and even ecstatic.

Lee Wan-yong, who had found stability, sat down in the chair again.

“Shall we start again, Detective Shin?”

Shin Dae-seong shook his head with a leisurely expression.

“No, I guess you should answer my question first.”

“What are you talking about? Russian roulette is a game of multiple rounds where the first person to win three hands wins.”

“I heard that I can ask questions every time I win a game. What I just did was a game, right?”

“If you do this, it will be difficult······.”

“Really? Then there’s nothing I can do.”

Lee Wan-yong grabbed Shin Dae-seong’s hand as he stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“I have no intention of playing games with a guy who breaks his promises.”

“Are you so bold?”

“I don’t care what you think. If you don’t answer my question, I won’t broadcast anymore.”

“Okay, ask me anything.”

In the end, Lee Wan-yong backed down.

Shin Dae-seong looked straight into his face and asked.

“There is an organization called Untouchable in South Korea. They commit crimes by giving points, but no one punishes them. I found out about them, but they dismissed it as a conspiracy theory. Does such an organization actually exist?”

* * *

An alley near the middle school that Jaeseong attends.

-Ugh.

Someone stopped Jae-seong, who was walking alone with his earphones in.

Jaeseong pulled out his earphones and raised his head.

“Are you trying to kidnap me, sir?”

“No, I’m protecting you. My name is Director Jeong, and I run a designated driving company.”

“How can I trust you, sir?”

“Detective Shin sent me. Those who tried to kidnap you ended up like that.”

Jaeseong, who had been turning his head following Jeong Pilseung’s gesture, let out a scream.

“Whoa!”

Because the mysterious men were piled up and bleeding.

“Oh, Lord, are you dead?”

“No, I just knocked you out for now, but there’s no guarantee you’ll wake up okay······.”

Jaeseong bowed his head.

“Thank you for saving me.”

“I didn’t show up to be greeted. I don’t think I can protect you secretly anymore. Can I come with you?”

“Of course!”

Jaeseong readily agreed.

* * *

A studio filled with tension.

Lee Wan-yong, who was asked a question, answered.

“That’s right, there definitely is such an organization in our country. ‘Untouchable’… I think it’s okay?”

“You didn’t lie like you promised?”

“I can’t forgive you for being so stubborn. Shall we start a second round of Russian roulette?”

But the second time the result was the same.

-bang!

“Kai, sir!”

Kim Han-gyeol spoke to Lee Wan-yong, who was holding his head and in pain.

“Let’s save this one. Next time we win, we’ll ask questions together.”

“You’re completely fooling me… I’ll show you what a great turnaround is.”

That didn’t happen.

-bang!

“Whoa~ I’ve lost three times in a row······.”

“The game of Russian roulette is over. As I said before, I will ask two questions in a row.”

“Do whatever you want.”

“Are you a member of the Untouchables? Have you ever killed people to get good grades?”

“Yes, I am a member of that organization, and people have died.”

The live broadcast chat room was chaotic, but Lee Wan-yong didn’t care at all.

“Shall we go to the second game?”

He became bloodshot and wanted to beat Shin Dae-seong at all costs.

Kim Han-gyeol asked the responsible producer.

‘You’re not surprised by the punishment. Even though Lee Wan-yong confessed to killing a person.’

‘I don’t think anything strange about what he did. By the way, how did he beat Lee Wan-yong three times in a row? Lee Wan-yong was also a world poker champion. He knows how to read people’s minds.’

Kim Han-gyeol answered with his shoulders tense.

‘You have to compare what you can compare. Think of Detective Shin and Lee Wan-yong as the difference between a professional and an amateur.’

‘That explanation makes perfect sense.’

‘So what’s the next game?’

Shin Dae-sung and Lee Wan-yong each got into a toy-like car.

The PD in charge said with a stern expression.

‘It’s a chicken lightning race. When two cars collide, you feel an electric shock. The greater the impact, the greater the electric shock.’

Lee Wan-yong and Shin Dae-seong started from opposite ends.

‘This show is almost crazy······.’

‘Lee Wan-yong is prepared to stop broadcasting and has increased the electrical capacity to a great extent. A fatal electric shock may occur.’

‘Shouldn’t I stop it?’

The responsible PD shook his head negatively.

‘I don’t think it’s a situation where you can just say no right now.’

Lee Wan-yong and Shin Dae-seong charged at the same speed.

Neither of them changed direction until the end,

-Papapapat~!

The two cars collided head-on, creating powerful sparks.
