Episode 162
“Eyes of the city… Things…”
Wang Yo-wei’s lips were repeating the words of the chase leader. His hand, which descended through the gutter-like darkness of the back alley, grabbed the tangled plumbing like a spider’s web.
Sometimes it climbs down a ladder made of iron bars, and sometimes it permeates between gaps and gaps as a shadow.
After repeating the descent toward the city’s basement for a long time, a rusty iron gate suddenly appeared in front of him under dim light.
It was a door that was welded on all sides without a knob.
“….”
Wang Yao-wei stared at the welded iron gate. A skull-shaped mark remained faintly on the iron plate, which looked more like the shell of a machine than an iron door.
[Warning! Do not go near!]
A door with a warning not to go near it and a phrase saying that it contains many toxic substances is covered by all sorts of scratches.
And Wang Yao-wei stood for a long time under the yellow street lamp, and then, realizing that there was no sign of anything around him, he raised his hand and looked down.
[Linker]
[Melting Shadow]
Before long, his body began to melt from beneath his feet.
When Wang Yaowei was sucked into the crack of the unwelded feet, the space changed completely. His eyes went dark for a while, then flickered again into a faint light.
Even he, a linker class, had to use his skills through careful mana control, so the passage of numerous pipes with a structure that a normal person would never pass through.
And as Wang Yo-wei moved in the form of a shadow for some time and passed numerous pipes, an unfamiliar space began to appear in front of him.
It was only about ten pyeong in size.
“….”
Wang Yao-wei, who transformed from shadow to human form, stood alone in an enclosed space. Hundreds of boxes piled up in a square space turned blue when reflected on carbide.
Ecstasia. A forbidden drug that he almost collected at the order of the call he served.
The product of black magic, which had been secretly circulated in the streets of Narc, does not even have a recipe left, but the lifeline remained intact with Wang Yo-wi, the right-hand man of Chung Bing and the ark of Wiryongbang.
It was the reason why the Kirin Association chased his whereabouts.
The method of the Blue Dragon Society, which tried to dominate the entire city with ecstasy, was carried out so intimately that even the distribution route was not known properly unless it was a call.
In addition, it goes without saying that the amount of Ecstacia possessed, which had not yet been invited, was naturally left unresolved when the person concerned had been ruined by Zhang Wei.
The lost recipe was a bonus.
Although it was an open fact that everyone knew what the ingredients of ecstasy were.
Even so, the reason why ecstasy could not be constantly reproduced and circulated secretly was that no one knew about its mixing ratio and magical techniques.
As long as Wang Yao-wei is the only one who succeeded the progress of the now dead and disappeared call, it could be said that the knowledge in his head was very important in order to reproduce Ecstasy again.
It was the last resort left to Wang Yo-wi and the reason why he couldn’t get out of Narc.
“It’s still… it’s still the same…”
When Wang Yo-wei opened the stopper of the potion containing the yellow essence, the enclosed space was filled with a strong scent.
It was a flask from one of hundreds of boxes.
It smelled like a rotten smell and a strange smell like a thick floral scent.
However, it could be said that the fact that the aroma stimulates people’s nerves just by wafting out is because the concentration and effect of ecstasy are so lethal.
“───────!”
So, Wang Yo-wei pours yellow ecstasy on his head.
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at the intense feeling of splitting the skull from the top of the head to the spine and sweeping down to the lower body.
That’s right, one bottle of ecstasy boasts a concentration that can be administered to up to 100 people.
It was because the awakening effect so intense that the wounds he had suffered so far had awakened every single hair on his body.
“Ah ah ah ah ah-.”
As the ecstasy’s formidable arousal and hallucinogenic effects salted his brain, Wang Yao-wei let out a grotesque sound through his half-closed eyes.
It seemed that the pain had been maximized so that it felt like pleasure, and that each minute felt like a year.
Considering the effect of ecstasy, Wang Yao-wei’s actions were in fact tantamount to torturing himself.
Nevertheless, the reason why he used the undiluted undiluted solution was because he decided that it was better to be drunk with drugs than drunk with soma.
“crane…! Haha…!”
And Wang Yao-wei, who had been stomping on the floor for a while, let out a quick breath and trembled thinly.
The impact of the ecstasy’s awakening effect seemed to resonate in the frontal lobe, but it felt like my mind had been sharpened even more.
‘…When the eyes of the city open, this is the end. Due to the nature of the Scarlet Viper, he will try to get hold of the remaining Ecstacia even if it means blowing up the whole area. At least one day before that…’
Gulp!
Wang Yo-wi’s neck was wriggling. His eyes were fixed on the pile of boxes crashing into his forehead.
It was impossible to post this drug on the exchange, and it was impossible to hand it over to adventurers or continental people outside Narc.
If he were to be pursued by the kingdom government by distributing worthless drugs, it would be an embarrassment to Wang Yo-wi, who was already being pursued by the Kirin Association.
It was for that reason that he had been releasing ecstasy into this Narc little by little.
Except for the Kirinhoe, there was no pursuit by the public authorities or a bounty for selling drugs such as ecstasy in this slum that was no different from Muju Gongsan.
Right now, the Kirin Society also pursued him not because of the illegal distribution of ecstasy, but because they wanted to get their hands on the recipe.
Moreover, there was no way to dispose of this amount of ecstasy or escape route to escape by putting all of this amount of ecstasy in the subspace inventory, so it was inevitable that Wang Yo-wei could not do this or that.
It was because, as the leader of the chase said, there was no longer a call or the Blue Dragon Society to protect him.
‘Think of it. think. How can you safely survive here…!’
As the effect of the ecstasy wears off, Wang Yao-wei bites his lip.
It wasn’t just my mood that made me look even more devastated than before.
Right now, what can I do with this nuisance—the amount was too great for that?
Of course, he was concentrating on surviving right now because his throat was grape juice, but if he had any greed, it could be said that he had a desire for revenge against the Blue Dragon Association.
It was said that he was not a bastard who was only thinking about his own comfort and protection measures.
But…
‘how?’
Wang Yao-wei could vaguely feel that his thoughts were returning to the starting point, while the cause of his thoughts biting on his tail was not resolved.
It was because, as the chase leader said, it was impossible to do anything alone before the giant eyes that could overlook the entire city opened their eyes.
“If it’s not a force… what can I use right now…?”
flash!
As Wang Yo-wi repeated his thoughts, a thought passed through his mind.
It was one of those things I had long forgotten about.
What happened before the owner of Narc moved from the Blue Dragon Society to the Kirin Society, and so the request was directed at the time when he was the ark of the Wiryongbang.
It could be said that it was one of the tricks to get the knives down the throats of the Kirin Society and Zhang Wei, and it seemed like it would actually work.
It wasn’t so bad that he roasted and boiled Jeungsan Shinup and took the family of a known close friend of Zhangwei hostage.
However, things went strangely when it got involved with a certain guy.
In the end, Zhang Wei, who wasn’t even interested in this game called AC, made him directly connect and touch it.
Judging from the rumors he heard all the time, it might not be too bad for him that the old man was still alive and moving.
What offends the Kirin Association and Zhang Wei now is that not only himself, but also Han Guoren, who is directly or indirectly involved in the Jeungsan New Business, is a little bigger.
“His name is… yes, sure…”
Damian.
It was certainly one of those faint names that lingered in his mind.
* * *
[Notice: You have entered the Forgotten Tower!]
[Notice: The tower is full of intense monster energy!]
[Remaining time: 3 minutes and 44 seconds…]
[Notice: Beware of the upcoming monster wave! ]
“Wow. I barely made it safe.”
Damian widened his eyes as he saw the system message floating in front of him. I roughly expected it, but the delay due to Antonio and La Vie en Rose had reached the time limit.
If I hadn’t kept in mind Colin and Viole’s group from the original Arno Kingdom branch, I would have taken it to the next level with the burglary at once, but since I’ve already been involved once, it can’t be helped that time will be delayed.
Moreover, considering that the 8th monster wave was armored lizards, it was his candid judgment that the difficulty of the 9th monster wave that the twisted dimensional gate would spit out would never be low.
It was said that the difficulty had increased two or three times.
However, the reason why Damian was able to draw an arc around his mouth was that he didn’t have to face the 9th monster wave himself, despite wasting a lot of time.
And right away, the meat shield—Damian didn’t necessarily think of Viole’s group as a full force—should be said to be the fact that there were four of them.
“Ahhh-. Can you hear me? Hmmmm, don’t you know if it’s coming out well?”
Tring!
Soon after, Damian waved his hand at a small dot flickering in the air and talked to himself, and Viole and his party soon confirmed that a corner of the system window was being updated at a terrifying speed.
It was because the number of viewers who came to his live streaming was bursting out to the point where there were tens of thousands of viewers.
“Nice to meet you. It’s pretty upsetting. Have you been very upset because there has been no news? I haven’t been able to broadcast for a while because I’ve been busy with patches.”
“…”
As Damian made a familiar comment toward the blinking dot, the faces of Ser Kim and Viole’s party took on a puzzled light.
It was a little different from what I had seen before.
It was pretty relentless when it appeared at the crescent moon cape and pushed away the 8th wave of monsters, or when it dealt with Antonio’s La Vie En Rose.
Demian, who is making a comment through live streaming right now, is not friendly overall, and a friendly feeling oozes out.
“Today— instead of personal broadcasting, I’d like to do a joint broadcasting for the first time. You guys are quite familiar, right? He is the owner of +11 Cheongpung Myungwol and is raising his stock price as an all-him ranger. Miss Viole~?”
“Ah yes. yes.”
Eventually, as Damian continued the process with skillful skill and winked at him, Viole, who had been pointed out in a daze, scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and began to appear next to Damian.
Even he, who is a platinum adventurer and has experience in personal broadcasting, had no choice but to move as if possessed.
“The place I would like to introduce to you today is one of the places that have been created to celebrate this 100-day update. It’s a twisted portal content. As you know, it’s one of the places where monster waves are pouring in. It is also a place where the matter is serious enough that the Emperor of the Empire Khan issues an edict directly. but…?”
cooong!
As Damian continued to speak, the ground of the Forgotten Tower shook at once.
It sounded like something heavy had fallen.
However, the warning from the system message that popped up in front of his eyes was more serious than he thought.
[Remaining time: 2 seconds…1 second…]
[Notice: Waiting time is over.]
[Notice: A monster wave is coming from the Forgotten Tower!]
“…Aha?”
And on the other hand, Damian tilted his head once at the notification of the system message.
I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide at the old castle bursting out from beyond the Forgotten Tower.
“I heard that he will come if I say tiger, but he is not a nobleman.”
– Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
It was a cry that was hard to imagine being human at all, and the vocal chords were torn apart.
