Episode 3. Synchronization
“Who are you guys?”
“….”
The masked men just looked at each other blankly in silence.
Then the man got angry.
“These people who can’t even reveal their identity dare to question the elder’s Hamza! I don’t want to get my hands dirty, so get the hell away. “It’s your last chance.”
The man turned his back on them as if he was annoyed.
The four masked people momentarily exchanged glances.
Then, in sync with the masked captain’s hand movements, they jumped towards the man at once.
Their swords moved in unison and cut down the man at the same time.
A much more disciplined move than expected.
They surrounded the man as if they were forming a formation.
There was no doubt that he had received professional martial arts training.
The man looked at that and muttered.
“It’s becoming a nuisance.”
That moment.
A bright light appeared in the man’s eyes.
No… if I had to express it, I would say it is the light of darkness.
It’s a bit paradoxical, but…
the man’s eyes were completely black and radiating a strange energy, as if the whites had disappeared.
‘Hmph.’
Han Ibi, who saw this, unconsciously sighed and rubbed her eyes.
Yes.
You are definitely not looking at it wrongly.
Would it be like this if the devil was depicted in real life?
The man’s veins instantly turned black.
At that moment, the back of my hand and forehead appeared…
‘Is that… a lotus flower?’
It’s indescribable, but geometric patterns similar to flowers were blooming on his body.
He instantly raised his stick.
Flash!
The illusion of a flash of fire, as if lightning had struck.
The man’s movements were faster than all four masked men combined.
Sigh!
A man hit by a stick’s face was seen turning and his teeth sticking out.
But it didn’t end there.
Suddenly, the man’s face turned in the opposite direction with the sound of a crash… blood spurted out in all directions.
Before the man even fell.
The man grabbed the man’s neck with his left hand and lifted it into the air.
“Kruk!”
The man made a noise and foamed for a moment.
Crack!
The man’s neck vertebrae shattered with a sound, and he fell into the air with his eyes closed.
It would be a miracle if his life survived.
The man immediately threw the man towards the rest of the masked men.
However, before he had time to accept him, the man’s new form began to attack him.
A desperate scream came from the mouth of another man.
The man twisted his body slightly and raised the bar diagonally.
A desperate scream was heard as the man’s jaw and skull broke simultaneously.
In an instant, the man turned into a figure that could not be distinguished as a person or a piece of meat.
It soon stopped….but
only extreme tension and silence remained at the scene due to the cruel hand.
A man’s black eyeballs.
His mouth was now slightly open, giving him a strange expression that made it impossible to tell whether he was smiling or angry.
Extreme horror.
Even inside, the masked captain mustered up his courage and shouted loudly.
He was also a poisonous species that he persistently ate in Moorim.
“How dare you such a bastard!”
The remaining two masked men began to work together as if they had promised.
One of them was a huge man who seemed to be three heads taller than the others.
The guy fiercely swung a sword as big as himself with one hand.
The Geohan is on the top, and the mask captain is on the bottom.
The blade stabbed up and down at the same time.
However, the man spun around and swung his right leg around to grab the large man’s ankle.
Then the huge man lost his balance and rose into the air, as if he had been caught on a hook.
But even for a moment.
‘Pfft!’
The stick mercilessly grabbed the large man in the air and struck him in the abdomen.
A tremendous shock transmitted through fat.
He was thrown to the floor, folded in half, like a piece of cloth that had just been washed.
The man’s spine would have been shattered even without looking.
When this happened, the masked captain, who had become a complete idiot, rolled his eyes and screamed loudly, slashing with his sword.
“die!”
The man said with a sharp smile.
“Ugh. “You should die.”
He took a step and moved through space in an instant, piercing the sword path and stabbing the stick deeply.
From the mouth of the masked man who was screaming…
His entire body flew out and crashed into a cedar tree, fluttering.
It was stuck with a stick.
Not a knife, but a blunt stick….
Han Ibi opened her mouth without realizing it.
Everything happened in an instant.
When the man pulled out the stick, the poor masked captain, who had been reduced to a skewer, fell to the ground and was sprawled out.
The man who was watching the scene silently shook off the stick and blood dripped down.
At the same time, the black streaks and patterns that had spread across the man’s body like a painting gradually faded away.
Then I heard a weak voice.
“Eun-gong.”
The man turned his head.
The middle-aged man who had been being tortured was suddenly limping closer.
His right hand, which was crawling with blood pouring out, was completely cut off, and not a single finger was visible on his left hand.
The man spoke again.
“My benefactor.”
Then the man’s expression became distorted and he spoke.
“When are you talking about Eun-gong because you saw me?”
The middle-aged man said while biting his lip, as if he was enduring extreme pain.
“My name is… Zhong Ligang of the Zhong family.”
The man said indifferently.
“so?”
The middle-aged man said.
“iced coffee! My uncle and head of the family, Jongnimundo, passed away from an attack by evil enemies while protecting us. Also… the remaining family members who fled according to my decision were all killed by those guys.”
The middle-aged man’s eyes turned red as he looked at the horribly mutilated bodies of Gasol.
But the man still had an expressionless expression.
Still, Zhong Ligang continued speaking, pointing at Han Yi Fei with his fingerless hand.
“This child… is my nephew, Zhongli-mei. I have to tie it up. “I’d like to quickly say hello to Eun-gong.”
‘omg!’
The moment Han Ibi heard the name Jongrimae, she was startled.
Because it was a name I remembered seeing in a novel.
Jongrimae.
The half-brother of the main character, Jong Ri-hyuk.
Unlike the main character, Jong Ri-hyuk, who was born to his wife, Jeongsil, who died young, he is the son of Geum Na-ryeon, a concubine.
Han Ibi thought.
‘Then that’s right. I’m the main character…’
That’s right.
Jongrimae is literally the trash of trash, synonymous with ‘open car squad’.
He was a human being whose very existence was a cancer cell itself.
From a young age, he has been behaving badly with Jong Ri-hyuk by dating his wicked wife, Geum Na-ryeon.
He could be said to be the family’s official ‘waste’ and ‘nuisance’ character who took advantage of his status as the head of the family to do all kinds of petty and naughty things.
So… Are you saying that I was possessed by that kind of idiotic character?
Even if it was just a dream, this is a bit too much!
“Why are you just sitting there blankly and not saying hello?”
Yikes.
Zhong Ligang screamed. Han Ibi said, lowering her head without realizing it.
“Oh, how are you?”
The man turned away without saying anything.
It was then.
Thump thump thump!
A loud sound rang out.
Zhong Ligang was hitting his forehead on the floor with his bloody body.
“Why are you doing that?”
Han Ibi was startled and stood up, supporting his shoulders.
But Zhong Ligang did not budge.
They are squeezing out the remaining strength.
Zhong Ligang said in an angry voice.
“Eun-gong, looking at your benefactor’s peerless martial arts, I am certain that he is most likely the great hero of the martial arts world who has lived in seclusion in the dark. This child is now the only bloodline left in the Zhong family. Please be kind and accept this poor child as your disciple.”
He was unable to overcome his overwhelming emotions and was shedding tears.
Han Ibi thought.
‘This uncle is lying… Obviously, the main character, Jong Ri-hyuk, will remain.’
But the man was already walking toward the cabin with his back turned.
It was a gesture that seemed to show no interest whatsoever.
Seeing that cold appearance, Han Ibi was almost upset.
“Hang it. Are you… are you okay?”
“Ah… yes.”
Could it be okay? I’m going through this absurd situation.
Zhong Ligang continued.
“There is no way to know whether he is a good person or a bad person… But now… the only person who can help you and our Zhongli family is that retired person.”
‘I know. Because the Zhongli family is the outcast of the martial arts group.’
At that time, Zhong Ligang ended up vomiting blood.
It was clear that he was holding on forcibly.
Ebi Han said.
“Uncle… Oh no. Uncle. Are you okay?”
Zhong Ligang’s face rapidly turned pale.
Since blood was pouring all over my body, it was obvious that I would be short of blood.
Han Ibi quickly approached him and held him in her arms.
Zhong Ligang said.
“I… think I was already wrong.”
The cliché of dying people.
Han Ibi was a little embarrassed, but quickly imitated a historical drama she had seen before and spoke.
“What do you mean! Your uncle will definitely recover. “Don’t say things like that.”
what. This seems plausible.
Zhong Ligang said panting with his eyes closed. Now I felt like I was out of breath.
“Huh huh. I have to tie it up. You… please rely on him. Then you will be able to live. And I must…”
The last words were so faint that Han Ibi had no choice but to put her ear to her mouth.
“…Reveal the identity of the evil enemies… Wow. I have to avenge the Jongli family… haha. something to do.”
Ugh. What does this mean, asking for revenge?
But anyway, you can’t stop talking about a dying person.
Han Ibi said with strength in her voice.
“yes. All right. “Uncle.”
Zhong Ligang’s face, as white as a sheet of paper, suddenly transformed into a benevolent one.
“okay. kind. baby. “Now… now… for the first time, I listen to my uncle well…”
Han Yi-bi waited for a while, but Zhong Li-gang said nothing.
Is he dead? Han Yi Fei held out her index finger and placed it in front of Zhong Ligang’s nose.
I couldn’t feel anything.
Unbelievable.
Another person died before my eyes.
no. Isn’t that because he’s a character in a novel? Either way, this is too vivid.
If this is a dream, please wake me up!
Han Ibi sat blankly for a while.
Zhong Ligang did not know how to move.
He stood up in a daze. Then, I moved to a quiet grassy area to avoid the dirty corpses.
‘What should I do now?…’
Then he suddenly remembered the woman’s voice in his ear.
“Lady?”
There was no reaction.
Is there some kind of unique connection phrase?
“hey. female!”
There was also no reaction.
“hello! “Is there anyone?”
Then, surprisingly, as if he had been waiting, a ‘tiring’ sound effect sounded and a woman’s voice was heard.
[Two rewards are waiting.]
Huh. Look at this.
When I say she’s a woman, she doesn’t read it, but when I call her something else, she reacts, right?
[Advice: Dialogue with the system can be applied to both physical and conscious vocalization.]
Oh. So… the point is that you can call a woman out with just a quick pronunciation.
‘female.’
As expected, there is no response.
‘hello. What should I call it… I mean… like… system?’
[Waiting for response.]
Hmm. As expected.
‘Who the hell are you?’
[The question you asked cannot be answered based on Article #002 of the GGQ Standard Rules.]
Uh-huh. That’s right, this is it.
‘Where am I?’
[The question you asked cannot be answered based on Article #001 of the GGQ Standard Rules.]
What is it? Nothing works.
[Advice: Level up through active activities and obey ‘missions’. If the ‘mission’ is successful, an appropriate ‘reward’ will be given.]
‘Okay, I understand. okay. That’s the basic of basics. ‘Tell me the reward I mentioned earlier.’
Tiring.
[Reward 1: Synchronization with the character is possible. Do you want to sync now? (Y/N)]
Hmm… You want me to synchronize with this Jinsang character?
Something like this is a reward… but…
it’s better than nothing, right?
‘yes.’
[Synchronization with the character ‘Jongrimae’ begins.]
Then, suddenly, my vision became brighter. I felt like the whole world was engulfed in light.
‘What is this? Is something wrong?’
I hear a voice.
[Synchronization 50% complete.]
[Synchronization 70% complete.]
….
[Synchronization 100% complete. Synchronization with the character ‘Jongrimae’ has been completed.]
‘Thumping’ mid-low sound effect.
At the same time, my vision returned to its original state.
Besides…
‘I feel like I’m overflowing with power.’
That’s not the end.
I felt the memories and consciousness of ‘Jonglimae’ rushing in like a tsunami.
The experience of being bombarded with a large amount of knowledge all at once is as uncomfortable as forced food.
Besides…
I couldn’t even wipe my eyes and look for the only refreshing memories of this car class…
At that time, I heard the sound effect of ‘Tiriring’ again.
[Reward 2: Status window can be used. You can check the voice information by changing it to the status window. Do you want to use it? (Y/N)]
Ah! Finally, the famous status window.
At some point, it became a must-have item for commercial works.
Of course ‘yes’.
Then, a translucent scroll-like scroll unfolded before my eyes, and calligraphy-like letters appeared.
‘Ohh. This is kind of refreshing. It’s a little inconvenient because it’s messy, but… Anyway, I’m only investigating the useless things…’
Han Ibi focused her vision on the ‘Status Window’ icon. Then, there was a reaction.
