Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Side Story Episode 7
3. Secret Secret (1)
I should have lit it and swung it from the beginning, but now I lit it and tried to show it off.
Almond felt his face getting hot.
“Well… my broadcast is a physical broadcast.”
Maybe that’s why I mutter excuses that don’t work.
-Isn’t this a talent show?
-Almond is a talk broadcast.
-It’s a commercial broadcast?
While innocent opinions about the identity of the broadcast were being raised, Ran’s coughing became louder again.
Cough! Cough!
‘ah. ‘I have to save Ran.’
Almond approaches Ran holding a torch.
“Ugh… Tsk…”
Ran closed her eyes tightly and felt pain. I guess it’s because it’s been so long since I’ve seen the light.
But Ran wasn’t the only one who had to close her eyes.
-Wow, were you tied up like that?
-ㄷㄷㄷ
-I couldn’t move a single thing.
-What;
-Don’t you just want me to die?
Skin weighed down by chains, unsanitary floor, haggard appearance…
Almond had a hard time keeping his eyes open.
But I can’t sit still here.
“I’ll save you right away.”
He once again raised the torch high and looked around the prison. Because there might be something more to gain from this.
Since the key I got earlier didn’t match, there might be a hint here.
“Ugh… Ugh.”
Ran was in pain as the light brightened.
“Just wait a moment.”
I searched here and there with a light, but there was nothing inside the prison.
Clap. Clap.
Every time Ran turns her head to avoid the moving light, a metallic sound is heard.
It’s because of the restraints.
The restraints have numbers written on them.
‘There are numbers on the restraints. what?’
Almond tilts his head and looks at the key he first obtained earlier.
“ah…!”
The key also had a number written on it.
The number written on the
‘2’ key is 2.
There is also a place with 2 written on the restraint.
“This was the key to unlock the restraints…”
Apparently, it is the key to unlock the second restraint.
“Then…”
Almond held the torch high behind him. I could see where the guards had collapsed. Dozens of guards fell.
“I just need to search through all of them and find 5… no, 6.”
-ㅔ
-That’s right -Ding
dong deng!
A total of 6 including the iron window key.
You must find 6 keys from the guards. However, since one has already been obtained, there are five that Almond needs to find.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the situation gets better.
‘There are so many, in what period of time…’
Considering the number of fallen guards, it seemed like it would take a considerable amount of time.
Well… I feel much more at ease because I can solve the problem if I just invest time.
[Ran’s life is in danger.]
[Remaining time 00:04:59]
As if reading Almond’s complacent mind, a time limit has been established.
I think Ran dies in 5 minutes.
‘Die in 5 minutes…? Then it doesn’t take 5 minutes just to find the keys?’
Even if you search through all the corpses of the guards, find the key, and free Ran, will Ran be able to survive? If you give him some water, his condition will get better.
So, do I have to give him water within 5 minutes?
impossible.
‘There must be another way.’
There certainly seems to be a way, rather than just searching through each pocket.
Wasn’t the answer earlier to kill the guards with fire?
-Whoa, check your pockets quickly ㅠㅠ
-What are you doing ㅠㅠ
-Quick!
-Ran dies ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
At the urging of viewers, Almond tries to execute the first idea that comes to mind.
He went to the corpse and set it on fire.
Rumbling….
The fire spread easily, but the body didn’t completely burn up dramatically.
The plan to burn all the bodies here and leave only the keys behind would likely take at least 30 more minutes. That’s what it takes to burn it all down.
‘I don’t think this is right…’
Almond stood still and smoothed his chin.
-Why are you still???
-give up?
-The nut is overheating lol
I hope people do something quickly.
However, in Almond’s opinion, it was more efficient to first understand the pattern and principle and then move on.
This game is like that.
‘Let’s think about it… who has the key? ‘Who will take care of the keys?’
It was said that most of these guards were of low intelligence.
Would I be able to entrust the keys to those low-intelligence bastards?
Not like that.
It would have to be a special entity among these to be entrusted with key management.
‘Only high-ranking individuals will have it.’
He first looked at the weapons the fallen guards had. If your rank is high, things like this are bound to become noticeable first.
‘You threw it all around with your own hands.’
This method doesn’t work.
It’s none other than Almond himself, throwing the weapons here and there, so it’s hard to tell them apart.
‘Hmm…’
[Remaining time 00:04:23]
More than 30 seconds have already passed.
Almond turned his head to Ran.
“Ran. You said there are highly intelligent individuals among the demons. “How did you tell them apart?”
“…Uh…Uh….”
“!?”
Ran is no longer able to speak.
Only a weak hissing sound comes out of my throat.
‘You have to solve it alone.’
It seems that getting an answer from Ran is not the way.
Almond looked around the dark surroundings and stroked his chin.
High and low objects.
There was probably a chain of command.
If there was a class, it would have happened naturally.
[Remaining Time 00:04:11]
About 10 seconds have passed.
‘for a moment. ‘Chain of command?’
Something passes through Almond’s head.
“How many times? I shouldn’t be here right now. “Has something broken again?”
was what the guard I first met said.
‘Management role…’
Highly intelligent entities would have managed it.
So what about low-intelligence entities?
“hmm? How do you answer…?”
This was the reaction of the guard I met for the first time upon hearing Almond’s answer.
It’s like asking how to say something.
‘for a moment. if…?’
Grumbling.
Almond shined the torch again to check the faces of the guards.
The faces of those who could not leave prison even after becoming ghosts.
What kind of expression is it?
Why couldn’t some of the guards even scream at the moment of death?
‘The mouth is sealed. Even the vocal cords.’
Stitch marks were revealed from the mouth to the vocal cords in the neck.
It’s a terrible sight.
-Ugh…
-Ugh, what is it?
-Ugh
It was definitely a frowning sight, but strangely enough, Almond’s expression brightened at this time.
‘You can’t speak!’
I found out the difference with the manager.
‘Those with low intelligence are not allowed to speak because if they do, their location will be revealed in the dark. The only thing I can say is the manager…!’
Managers can speak.
It was sealed so that nothing else could be said.
These two are a way to distinguish between administrators and non-administrators, a way to distinguish highly intelligent entities from non-intelligent entities, and a way to find the key.
[Remaining time 00:03:15]
The remaining time is now approaching 2 minutes.
Almond starts moving from now on. He jumped up and down, kicking the corpses and turning them over to check their faces.
This was a much faster job than searching through every nook and cranny of the robe.
‘…No.’
Objects with sewn mouths were quickly passed over and only those with open mouths were selected.
‘This is it.’
I quickly found one.
A corpse with its mouth wide open in pain.
When you search the guy’s body, you find a key.
‘5.’
The number written on the key was 5.
It was the key to enter restraint number 5.
-Wow!
-How did you find it right away?
-Oooooh! It was crazy.
Cheers erupted directly in the chat, but Almond didn’t have time to look at the chat.
He lifted the sword and plunged it into the jailer’s heart, leaving a mark.
Next, I found the guard holding the key with his mouth wide open and searched his waist.
‘This is number 3.’
Key number 3 came out, and after that, I found keys 1, 4, etc. in an instant.
-and! what??? We have everything you’re looking for!
-This is also physical…
-I guess they figured something out.
-Is it the guys with their mouths open?
Viewers are surprised because there is a key to every thing they touch.
“Now I just need to find one!”
I can hear a slight excitement in Almond’s voice.
-Almond admiring his walnuts lol
-Almond is happy. Because his walnuts have been proven.
-Hey, is this the walnut of the stronghold?
But the happiness was short-lived.
No matter how hard I searched, I could no longer find the guard with his mouth open.
Tuk. Tuk.
He even tries to kick the guards who have already turned him over, but his stitched mouth doesn’t suddenly open.
‘…what?’
[Time Remaining 00:01:03]
There is now one minute left, but there is no key to open the cage.
-Walnut already overheating? ㅠㅠ
-What
? -Why can’t I find it? ㅠㅠ
Almond, who had stopped for a moment, suddenly hits himself on the head.
“ah!”
Then he started running far away.
As I raise the torch high, I see the corpse of the guard lying alone in the distance.
[Time Remaining: 00:00:54]
Almond immediately flipped him over and searched his waist.
“found!”
Sigh.
A key that appears to have a different weight than other keys.
“Iron cage key!”
Yes.
The first guy I met was the general manager of this place.
It was a hint that he said it a few times and everything.
-Wow!
-Good
, good -Wow, time ㅠㅠㅠ
-Hurry ㅠㅠ
-But what about water???
-If you open it, won’t you die quickly?
Almond ran like hell, almost crashing into the iron bars, and immediately put the key in it.
Clap!
In an instant, the iron cage door opened.
[Time Remaining: 00:00:41]
40 seconds remaining.
Almond threw his jacket on the floor. A torch was thrown on it.
Grumble!
The prison is revealed. Now I could use both hands.
After checking the five keys, he quickly began to open the five restraints.
Slam! Slam! Slam!
-It’s fast;
-Wow hahaha
– King Gwalyu pushes even this physically;
-If I had chased them away with fire in the first place, I wouldn’t have run out of time ㅠㅠ
Boom! thud!
The restraints fall one by one, and the last restraint falls to the floor and rolls.
“Heehee…ik!”
Ran was released with a sound of gasping for air.
[Time Remaining: 00:00:21]
“Whoa.”
Almond breathed a sigh of relief.
-Wow!
-nice!
-I lived!
-Invincible speed…!
But it doesn’t end here.
Time was still passing and Ran was out of breath.
“Hiiii…ik.”
A difficult sound, as if this were the last breath.
“Ran. Joe, just wait a moment.”
There is no time.
We have to find water…
Almond’s mind was racing.
‘Water….’
Where is the silk water all of a sudden??
[Time Remaining: 00:00:19]
19 seconds remaining.
It has now entered the 10 second range.
“Ugh…”
Almond started searching around with a torch.
Isn’t there water provided in the prison?
“under.”
It was absurd. Not a drop of water is visible.
‘Where are the soldiers?’
There must be water wherever the human soldiers were, but it’s too far away. This was not possible due to lack of time.
[Time Remaining: 00:00:12]
I’ve already wasted 7 seconds trying to find my way here.
-There’s no water haha
-It’s such a shame…
-What are you going to do? There’s no water.
-What, really; Are you telling me to pee???
Almond’s mind was just as complicated as the chat window filled with all kinds of ridiculous speculations.
I refused to come this far and play again. Broadcast tension will also drop significantly.
‘Is there a space that leads all the way to the soldiers’ rooms?’
Grumbling.
He picked up the torch again and walked around the wall.
Even think about secret passages.
I pressed here and there, but of course nothing happened. Even if we found it now, would we have time?
[00:00:05]
There are less than 5 seconds left.
[00:00:04]
“Soldiers drink water and even alcohol. There isn’t a drop of water here. Really….”
Almond expresses his resentment. It seemed increasingly hopeless.
[00:00:03]
-Rite Go Go
-You’re not as slim as Raina, right? Inssa sh*t haha
– As expected, you can’t use your strength in a worldview where Mosol is the strongest haha
– ㅃㅇ
– Good work.
Viewers are acting like it’s already over, but I’m the type of person who doesn’t like giving up before the end.
He didn’t give up at all.
Is that why?
“ah!”
Suddenly something occurred to him.
Almond suddenly starts groping himself.
-What are you doing?
-Nut dance lol
-Kkkkk Zero Two?
-Did you get an electric shock?? Haha
I searched so quickly that it looked a little funny.
“That’s it!”
Almond found water.
It’s none other than your own body.
-???
-Wow what?
-water??
-suddenly??
-Is this a fucking hidden camera? Why does it suddenly come out of my body?
-Ah~~ Did you keep it in the broadcast box? LOL
To be exact, it was found in the back pocket of a senior soldier’s pants, and it was probably alcohol, not water.
But wouldn’t it be better if I gave it more than half of it water? Almonds have no choice anyway.
“Ran! “Ran!”
Almond fell down in front of Ran, lifted his head, and made him drink rum.
“Quickly… drink it quickly… it’s alcohol. “I can’t help it.”
Gurgling!
He is literally pouring the alcohol down like water.
-Would you rather suffocate her?
-???: Even if you kill me, I will kill you!
-Are they already salting the body with alcohol?
LOL -Information) If you make someone drink alcohol when they are dehydrated, they will die.
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk tiiiiii──
[
00:00:00]
Time is over.
“Ah…”
It’s finally over.
As expected, alcohol was not judged to be water.
But then.
I flinch.
I felt Ran’s back muscles moving.
Is this your last struggle before you die?
“Ugh… Ugh…”
Ran let out a painful moan.
“Huh… Wow…!”
The voices that had been broken into pieces gradually began to come together.
“Thank you…”
Finally, my voice came out properly.
He survived.
‘what? it’s okay?!’
Even Almond was surprised.
“Haa….”
Ran stood up on her own. I recovered quite quickly after just drinking a glass of water or even a glass of alcohol.
Before I knew it, my eyes started to sparkle again and my complexion changed.
“You gave me a potion. “Thanks to you, I barely survived.”
“…portion?”
It’s a potion.
Almond looked at what he was holding in his hand again.
“It’s a liquor bottle.”
It is a portable liquor bottle that is often filled with rum and sipped.
This was a potion?
“This is a potion made by our church. There is no way I wouldn’t know its taste.”
Almond tilted his head.
When I thought about it, the junior soldier cursed at the senior soldier, saying that he ‘even carries alcohol with him.’
The soldier clearly thought this was alcohol.
But why a potion?
“Anyway, success!”
Anyway, he proudly shouted success to the viewers.
– Haha, anyway, I won
– No, it’s not alcohol, why is it a potion haha
– Hey, this is the first time I’ve seen anyone make this part this difficult
– Self-increasing the difficulty haha
– It’s so fun haha
– The story mode is fun, 1st tier almond haha
