Apocalypse Needs Old People Episode 078

61. Divorce (4)

“What… hey? How do you… … .”

God looked embarrassed, as if he had heard something that should not have come out of his mouth.

‘I had a feeling it might be, but it was as expected.’

actually.

I’ve been suspicious of the Love Zone players’ possession for some time now.

Because it somehow didn’t feel like a coincidence that I was possessed by a love zone with the attributes of a shaman.

Moreover, on the first day the public chat room opened, she said that other players agreed to serve her.

That’s not something that can be accomplished in such a short period of time.

Moreover, if it is to the level of forming a pseudo-religion, it means that the number of players possessed by it is not small.

That’s why I thought that the players who fell into the love zone might have known each other before the ice age.

And above all else.

Among the items in the convenience store, the item that symbolized the love zone was none other than a condom.

The shaman in front of you is definitely not the type of person who would buy condoms for fun in a place like that.

Same goes for the other guys.

For a person who is a veteran or addicted to dog games, they don’t have the courage to buy something like that at a convenience store, and there’s no use for it.

Unless someone instigated it.

[I don’t know what you mean, but I know it’s too much.]

It may sound harsh, but to be honest, it’s the truth.

That’s why I’ve always been suspicious.

I wonder if these guys deliberately chose the love zone symbol as a group.

‘Taejung said he heard that the people who went to the convenience store went missing.’

God and other players must have heard the news too.

It is not certain whether the story of a god going ‘missing’ when he goes to a convenience store really inferred ‘possession’ and decided to unite with other players to choose one item.

At least it’s God who conspired to get the other guys to pick out the ‘same item’.

If you believed in the instigation of a god, chose an item, and then became possessed in a game, it is only natural that you would blindly believe in the god after being possessed.

If God is a ‘shaman’ who predicted ‘possession’, then the endless faith of a guy with either a concave or a baduk eye can be explained.

Because of the words of God just now.

-It’s a shame that you can’t acknowledge the existence of ‘God’ unless you know about my ‘Ice’.

After hearing that story, I was convinced.

These guys didn’t ‘get’ possessed, they ‘chose’ to.

“How… do you know?”

God asked me in disbelief.

“Did you interrogate the messenger I sent?”

I guess he already has half the answer in his hands, since he doesn’t think I’d just ask him to poke him.

“Your messenger didn’t touch a single hair. In the first place, if he didn’t know about your possession, he wouldn’t have thought of interrogating you to find out.”

“Then how on earth did you… … .”

“How would you know? I think I’ve explained it well enough so far.”

As I smiled and replied, God’s fingertips trembled slightly.

“Really… there is a being that wants to have our love?”

“Have you never suspected anything? In the Love Zone, a shaman like you, with a string of other guys in tow, could it be that it was arranged by someone?”

“that…….”

God seemed quite embarrassed.

I guess I’m thinking that I wouldn’t have been able to figure out my ‘possession’ without the help of some absolute being.

“Everything up until now has been arranged? Who would believe that? We, no, at least I chose to be possessed myself!”

I don’t know if he was really sure he was going to be possessed, or if he just happened to be possessed and won a mental victory.

A raised voice means you are being persuaded.

Well, now is the time to give yourself some room for rationalization.

“Why don’t you go back and tell your followers?”

“what?”

“The safe zone was a practice run to prevent the apocalypse, and we were chosen by the god of this world to prevent the apocalypse. That’s what a dopamine addict said.”

“… … .”

This time, instead of refuting straight away, God remained silent.

“…Do you know what you’re saying right now?”

“Of course. I mean, I’ll cooperate so that you can continue to reign as the cult leader or the deity over the other players.”

Then God was greatly moved.

Of course, he must have thought that I had brought up the story of God up until now in order to take away his items and kick him out of his position as leader, using the excuse that I could prevent the end of the world.

I plan on handing over the earrings to this guy though.

Not right now.

‘There’s no rush.’

Anyway, this guy will hand it over to me someday.

For that reason, it was more important for God to trust me now.

“Really… this?”

“Have you forgotten that I sent that squinty-eyed bastard away without telling him about the system? I had no intention of interfering with your pseudo-strategy from the beginning.”

I intend to use it though.

“Why are you… helping me?”

“In the first place, the god of this world really exists. If you want to act as a cult leader, then so be it. I really hate that kind of role.”

“… … .”

God seemed to be contemplating whether to believe this or not.

It’s hard to believe that the ‘god’ of this world gave me the power to stop the apocalypse by collecting nine meteorites, but if there really is a god and I convey that revelation to him, it’s not a loss for me.

There is really only one reason why God clenches his teeth and refuses to believe my story.

‘I guess he just doesn’t want to use this as an excuse to have his items stolen.’

It’s lowly to first tell someone to trust you because I won’t steal their items.

Anyone can see that it’s the line of someone trying to scam someone.

That’s why you have to wait for the right time.

“I guess… I just can’t believe it.”

“Being suspicious is a good trait for a player. So… I’m going to show you.”

“What… are you talking about?”

[I wonder what they are trying to show.]

I let out a short exclamation as I listened to Luna’s voice full of curiosity.

“God’s representative.”

“God’s… agent?”

[Was there something like that?]

It’s not just Shin who looks confused, but Luna too.

But I spoke confidently and boldly.

“Everything I’ve told you so far was from that agent. If you see him, you’ll have no choice but to believe what I say.”

[Hey… What are you trying to show me?]

Luna asked worriedly, and Shin looked at me with an even more suspicious expression.

“…Okay. I don’t know what you’re trying to show me, but I’ll meet the representative of God.”

After hearing that I would meet her, I nodded and whispered to the ring.

“So, would you mind coming out for a moment and helping me, Lady Luna?”

[… … .]

Luna seemed speechless for a moment and did not respond.

‘Come out, Luna.’

[… It was me who was trying to show off. I was supposed to act as God’s representative.]

‘Please, Luna.’

[Why are you dragging me in! I’m a good kid, unlike you!]

‘Please help me just this once. Your little brother is asking for help, but you’re the older brother, so you wouldn’t even do that much for him? Huh?’

[You never normally call me hyung… … !]

Since I have no pride, I continued to push without caring.

‘Hyung- please! Brother!’

[… This is just this one time. There will be no next time.]

‘Yes, bro! Of course!’

[I really can’t lie!]

Luna eventually showed up, pretending not to be able to win against my brother’s attack.

“What, what is it!”

When something suddenly popped out of my ring, Shin was startled and jumped up on the chair he was sitting on.

But soon, he confirmed that the kitten that had landed on the table in the living room was a pure white kitten, and showed an expression that was a mixture of relief and bewilderment.

“It’s a cat.”

[A cat.]

“… are you talking?”

Luna walked towards the god with her chin raised proudly.

[How insolent. How dare you compare me to such a small creature. I am the representative of God.]

For someone who is known to be really bad at lying, his tone was very natural.

This guy might be my mother’s son.

God looked down at Luna for a moment with a bewildered expression, then pointed at Luna with his finger and asked me.

“… Dopamine addict, this is what you call God’s agent… this?”

[This is it!!]

God carefully lifted Luna, who was jumping, with both hands and began to feel her body.

[What, what are you doing?!]

Luna struggled, but could not escape the player’s grasp.

“It doesn’t seem to be a monster since there are no jewels… … .”

Oh, you were feeling around to see if there were any gems.

It seems like they’re still stroking it.

[Meow, meow! Stop touching me!!]

“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s too much trouble.”

God carefully put Luna down and looked at me with an expression that seemed to say he didn’t know how to take this.

“The scene where the talking cat jumps out of the ring is something that didn’t happen in the game… … .”

“Do you still have doubts?”

“… … .”

The god seemed to think about something for a moment, then looked at Luna and asked.

“Is it true that you are an agent of God?”

[Yes.]

“So, is it really true that the dopamine addict’s special privilege of conquering all areas can prevent the apocalypse?”

You don’t use formal language with me, but you use formal language with Luna.

[Of course you can stop it. You were called to save this world.]

Luna seemed to have quite a talent for fraud.

God looked at Luna with an ambiguous expression, not sure whether he believed Luna’s words or not, and then asked with a mechanical smile.

“What kind of power can prevent the end?”

[Huh? Uh, that’s… … .]

Luna looked at me in confusion, perhaps because the question was unexpected.

Is this all I can leave to Luna?

I hit the player first before God could find out.

“You want me to show you in person? Okay.”

Then, Luna, who of course knew what my previous area conquest privilege was, opened her eyes wide in confusion.

It’s as if the eyes are saying, ‘What on earth are you trying to show me!’

Luna’s tail swung anxiously over the table a couple of times.

‘You don’t have to be so anxious.’

From the beginning, this world needed a veteran, or a representative of God, it was all a build-up to have this guy witness this ‘power’.

“Since the representative of God has given me permission, I would like to show you what power I have been given. Do you agree?”

“No, if you could show it to me, why didn’t you show it to me earlier?”

“Because I need permission and consent to show this power.”

“I don’t know what kind of trick you’re talking about, but… yeah. I think seeing it for yourself is much more believable than talking about God’s representative or something.”

“Then I take it you agree… … .”

I held out my palm to God and said.

“Can you lend me some earrings?”

“……her.”

God touched his forehead for a moment as if he had a headache, then spoke to me in a slow tone.

“So you lied just to get the earrings? I’m sorry, but I’m not as stupid as the other guys you’ve met so far… … .”

There’s no guy who says things like that who hasn’t been fooled by me.

“I clearly asked to ‘borrow’ them. You don’t have to give me both, just give me one. Then I’ll show you. The power to stop the apocalypse.”

God’s expression became subtle.

I know that look.

Rather than a feeling of distrust, a face that couldn’t overcome the dopamine urge to just see what the hell that crazy bastard was up to.

‘If I just pass on one pair anyway, there won’t be much of a problem, right? If it’s too late, I can just shoot it with the pistol in my bosom. Well.’

… This is the face that is thinking something like this.

I wiggled my fingertips, which I had been extending seductively.

“The earrings. Give them to me. You want to see them too.”

“… Really, I don’t know what the hell you’re trying to do.”

Shin, with one corner of his mouth raised and a crooked smile on his face, took off one of his earrings and placed it on my palm.

“Don’t forget that I’m a player too. If you’re going to do something stupid, you better be prepared.”

“Are you stupid?”

I received one earring from God and walked to the window holding it in my hand.

I felt Luna looking at me with a worried expression.

I smiled leisurely at Luna and opened the living room window wide.

Saaaaa… … .

The thick, falling snow suddenly rushed in.

The snow that had been falling nonstop since morning.

God also came here through that blizzard, so he must know that the snow will not stop easily.

Looking up at the sky, I saw dark clouds wedged in between the falling snow.

After noticing the dark clouds above my head, I gestured for God to come closer.

“Come closer and look.”

“…You’re not going to push me away from there, are you?”

“What do you see me as?”

God still seemed suspicious and stood at some distance from me, not coming close to me.

“Look at the sky.”

“sky?”

“I can only show this much power with 1.5 meteorite items. I believe you will understand the potential of the power I am showing you.”

“What? What the heck is that… … .”

God was trying to say something to me, but he was looking into the dark clouds as I had told him to.

After confirming the direction in which God’s gaze was directed, I raised my fist holding the earring toward the sky.

And soon the eyes of the god looking up at the sky began to fill with astonishment.

“What is that?”

Because beyond my fist, I witnessed the sky begin to open.

Now it’s time to drive the wedge in.

“A miracle from God. Do you believe it now?”
