Relife Player 143
[Chapter 052]
[The Day When the Wind Doesn’t Rain (7)]
A total of 71 residents lived in the underground canal of Uijeongbu Station.
All the people who had lived in hiding from monsters during the years when the rivers and mountains had changed three times were suffering from malnutrition.
The recapture team treated and distributed supplies to residents emerging from the culvert.
They too were citizens.
Even players who tend to move according to their desires and emotions couldn’t avoid sympathizing with the residents who were living in an underground canal.
Of course, it was necessary to find out if they were in collusion with the monsters.
The people in charge of the backbone of Unit E and Unit F captured the village chiefs from Ga Village and Ba Village.
What are you doing!
Among the village chiefs, the eldest village chief shouted in an incoherent tone.
All the village chiefs were raising their voices, saying it was nonsense.
You shouldn’t believe that.
Shin Seo-young decided to keep the center so that others would not be shaken.
I asked the kids and they said there’s such a thing as a good kid ritual?
It was a bluff.
She only spoke based on the information Eunha had given her, but never asked the children.
However, the nuance of knowing was enough to change the eyes of the village chiefs.
who is this. who said
The village chief replied in a nervous tone.
Changhae Clan Sublord. What do you mean by the good boy ritual?
Gu Yeon-soo opened her slender eyes and glared at the village chiefs.
The village chief, who met our eyes, was startled and took a backward step with his butt.
Let’s hear from the children… It sounds like a very strange ritual.
Shin Seo-yeong processed the information she heard from Eun-ha and explained it as if she had heard it from the children.
Children cannot walk on the ground without receiving the Good Boy Ritual.
The only people who could get food from the ground were those who received the Good Child ceremony.
So what is the good child consciousness?
Almost all the players who heard the story frowned.
There was no such thing as a ghost story.
So… you mean the kids who get the good kid ritual walk alone to distant waterways to see if they’re good kids or bad kids?
Dangun Clanlord Jang Bong-jeon asked if the story he had heard was correct.
Wait a minute Seoyoung unnie. So, does that mean that a child who returns from the canal is recognized as a good child, and a child who does not return is recognized as a bad child?
Couldn’t it get lost in the waterway and not be able to return? It’s too much to say that…
Gu Yeon-soo was speechless.
It’s so strange.
Even if the waterway has a complicated structure, does this mean that the child who was born and raised in the underground waterway may not be able to return?
Gu Yeon-soo, who put her hand on the palm, turned her gaze to the village chiefs, demanding an explanation.
…the master is here.
master?
It was the village chief who wasn’t surprised by the players’ energy.
Opening his eyes, he spewed out his words like an apostle trying to spread the faith.
You are a great master. The master is judging whether the child undergoing the ceremony in the dark waterway is a good child or a bad child. It’s okay to talk like that. It’s not the master, it’s not the monsters you follow?
A monster!
The chief of Na Village shouts with blue eyes open.
Shin Seong-yeong shook her shoulders in an expression of energy.
I’m not saying that you now sacrifice your children to monsters in the form of a ritual.
young lady. Be careful what you say.
At that time, the village chief crawled forward.
He opened his mouth in an incoherent voice and glanced at each of the people, as if telling them not to forget these words.
The master is… a great man. If you have a bad heart, you will return to the master.
…….
Remember… you guys too… I don’t know what it’s like outside… but this land… is your land. Therefore, you too can… receive the good boy consciousness.
The chief of the kiln village who chatters with a voice boiling with phlegm.
Her face, smeared with the filth of living in an underground aqueduct, raised her cheekbones as much as she could and chuckled about what was so good about it.
The smile on his face with one front tooth missing was hideous.
The master is everywhere. Now that we are not performing the Good Boy Ritual, Master will be mingling with us to see who has a bad heart and who has a good heart.
So be careful. If you act like this, you won’t come back alive from the good boy consciousness.
The master is a great man. Lies don’t work in front of him. He always hears our voices.
Truth… Be truthful… It’s something to act on. If you don’t… you won’t… come back during the good boy ceremony da… da da da da da da da da…!
The village chiefs call out to the owner with a maddening voice.
The Clanlords decided to imprison the village chiefs for talking like crazy.
So, how do you find the monster that is the owner…?
Dangun Clanlord Jang Bong-jeon was the first to get lucky as soon as he entered the meeting room.
He brought up the idea of forming a party of players with decent skills and exploring the waterway where the ritual was taking place.
Conversely, through the stories of village chiefs, Gu Yeon-soo suggested the possibility that monsters might be infiltrating among people.
What should I do?
Shin Seo-yeong was troubled throughout the meeting.
Unit E and Unit F succeeded in alerting the residents.
Now it was time to find a monster that the villagers would obey.
‘I won’t be able to find my sister.’
At that time, Eunha advised not to look for the white face of the 3rd tier Overrank.
There is absolutely no way to find a white face mixed in with people.
Even a player with excellent detection ability would not be able to find a white face.
By the way… As Regulus Clanlord said, if the monster can transform into a human… you’re saying that it can hide among us as well as the residents?
The words someone said made the atmosphere in the meeting room chilly.
Everyone shut their mouths. People with different complexions looked at each other.
‘Never touch it.’
The white face is a monster that causes confusion by stimulating people’s distrust and suspicion.
The meeting eventually came to an end after being sluggish.
The conclusion they came to was to form a party to explore the underground waterway and detect the mana of the residents.
☆
Gyeonggi Northern Government Complex.
Unit D had to spend a considerable amount of time to reach the northern government building, which had been transformed into a red dungeon.
The road was rough. Monsters appeared like pouring, so it was inevitable that it would take time to move forward.
In the end, Troop D led by Myung-hwan Shin arrived eight days after the recapture battle began.
In the meantime, Unit D received various news from other units.
The news that Unit A had recaptured Uijeongbu City Hall was nothing short of sweet rain for Unit D, who was on a difficult journey.
When they heard the news that Unit C joined with Unit A to clean up the area, they burned their enthusiasm to farm.
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard that Troop E had found the residents at Uijeongbu Station.
Unit E sent a message that they would carefully investigate the possibility that they may have colluded with the monster.
It was fine up to this point.
The problem was the news that the player was missing after coming.
After coming, the player will… be alive.
I don’t know. I don’t know, but I’m not someone who dies easily.
The disappearance of Oh Geon-hoo, who was like the eye of the recapture team, also meant that the recapture team lost sight.
Not without excellent navigators and telepathists.
However, he has the ability to act as a navigator and telepathist at the same time, and he was able to observe from a long distance by taking advantage of the fact that he is an avian-type subhuman.
Watching the night too.
I wish you were alive.
gotta stay alive
Subload Kang Ye-hee comforted Shin Myung-hwan’s anxiety.
Putting on her butterfly glasses, she knew that he was worried after hearing the news of Gun-Hoo Oh.
Rather than that, how did the expedition go?
In the dungeon… it doesn’t come out.
Shin Myeong-hwan bit his lip at the news Kang Ye-hee delivered.
It was already the second.
When the expedition team showed no signs of coming out after a while, a second expedition team was dispatched.
However, the second expedition also did not come out after the set time.
What it meant was clear.
The expedition was wiped out, and the Northern Gyeonggi Government Complex was a dangerous dungeon.
Player Shin Seo-young said.
If the expedition team doesn’t come out, give up the attack.
Shin Myeong-hwan recalled what Shin Seo-young had said before leaving Hoeryong Station.
It was as if she knew what was going to happen. They repeatedly apologized for the actions of the Changhae Clan and asked them to be careful in attacking the Northern Gyeonggi Government Complex.
With the words to stop the attack as soon as the expedition team does not come out.
what do you know
Shin Myung-hwan suspected that the Changhae Clan knew the identity of the Northern Gyeonggi Government Complex and requested a change of unit along the way.
Until a few years ago, the Changhae Clan managed Uijeongbu.
It was hard to clear the doubt.
…there’s something I don’t know.
And she knows something.
He put his hand to his mouth and was lost in thought.
Should we continue to attack the red dungeon or should we give up and wait for the support of Unit F?
The worry didn’t last long.
─Now enter the dungeon! Enter the Red Dungeon with the mindset that it is the most dangerous!
☆
Lee Seung-hwan wandered around the ruins of Uijeongbu Station.
It was the eighth day.
The atmosphere in Unit E and Unit F was serious.
The number of people who had doubts that each other were monsters increased.
This is because the recapture team investigated the mana in the residents’ bodies, but could not find any abnormal signs.
Even in the waterway where the ceremony was held, the existence of the monster the residents were talking about could not be found.
In the end, people with anxiety doubted and checked each other, and Unit F decided to focus on the mission.
Today, I was on my way to the Seoul Arts Center after installing Cocoon.
After a while, leave Uijeongbu Station and leave for Gyeonggi Northern Government Complex.
Lee Seung-hwan was looking around Uijeongbu Station before leaving for Gyeonggi Northern Government Complex.
On the one hand, children were receiving lunch rations.
A delightful smile hung on his lips.
The kid didn’t like it.
Rather good.
Because the children reminded me of myself who lost my family and wandered that day.
Because it reminded me of the older brother who reached out to him to save him.
uh?
Then Lee Seung-hwan found a child who was looking at the children receiving lunch from a distance.
It was a boy. In the manhole, only his head was sticking out, watching the children.
The child seemed to envy the children chatting with the players.
Then, for some reason, my mind wandered.
He, who is said to be very individualistic even within the clan, showed interest in the child.
hi.
Lee Seung-hwan approached the child.
The startled child met his eyes.
do you want to eat this?
Kneeling to make eye contact with the child, he held out a chocolate bar.
Like the older brother who held out a piece of bread to himself then.
The child, who was looking at him and the chocolate bar, nodded and snatched the chocolate bar with one hand.
The way he hurriedly ate reminded me of a hamster whose cheeks burst into food.
I am Seunghwan Lee. What’s your name?
The words my brother said then.
Lee Seung-hwan asked the child who had finished eating the chocolate bar shyly.
The child shook his head.
i have no name Only good children can receive our name.
The children living in the land occupied by monsters were life unknown when they would die.
The villagers who lived among them treated the children as adults, not according to age, but according to their own rules.
Same goes for the name.
It’s not something you get right after you’re born, it’s something you get according to the rules.
Through a rule called the Good Child Ritual.
Even the names were like Gamaeul, Namaeul, and Damaeul.
…….
Lee Seung-hwan felt sorry for the child in front of him.
He thought of himself, who had lost his family and wandered around the city, and of his older brother, who held out a piece of bread, and stopped sympathizing with him.
yes sympathy
As a player, you should be vigilant.
…then I’ll give you a name. name?
yes name. Your name is… Throat. After being lured
The wind that blew through the ruins caressed her hair.
He felt as if his dead brother was stroking his head.
So he gave the child his older brother’s name.
The name of the older brother he respected and followed.
☆
‘Then Eunha. As you said, let’s say that there is a baekmyeonsang there. Then…’
‘I don’t think there is, but there will be. Even if it’s hard to believe, please trust me.’
‘I want to believe your story, but it’s so hard to believe, what can I do?’
‘…Whew OK. So why?’
‘How can I find him?’
At that time, Eunha frowned.
‘Are you planning on taking him down?
Give up. How are you going to find someone who will mix in with people?’
‘That’s why I’m going to let the monsters mix among people?’
‘Leave me alone. Because the recapture of Uijeongbu will fail anyway. Residents should be vigilant with the intention of reducing the damage even a little.’
‘You keep failing and failing, but you really don’t know if you’re going to fail or not.
how do you knock it down Even if I say no, you won’t know.’
Eunha sighed in frustration.
‘no. I don’t know.’
Actually he knew.
How to spot white faces among people.
In the second recapture of Uijeongbu, the recaptured party fiercely confronted over the method of weeding out the baekmyeonsang.
It is an inhumane position to kill even the residents, saying that we should not forget the tragedy of the first recapture of Uijeongbu.
The position is that the residents are also citizens, and that a way to protect them and find a white face should be found.
It was a debate that drew parallel lines without crossing each other.
The person who dismissed the controversy was Bae Soo-bin, the caster of the gypsophila party.
‘Huh true. You can just kill them all. Why are
you doing this? Leader, I’ll take care of this myself.’
The gypsophila party had the right to move independently in the second recapture of Uijeongbu.
This is because the fairy Lim Ga-eul was allowed to exercise her own authority.
Besides, no one wanted to have the gypsophila party, which didn’t cooperate with others other than the Blaze Clan, belong to the unit.
It was also possible because he was trusted by the next fairy, Ha Baek-ryun.
‘…This is crazy.’
‘Were they people? I can say no.’
‘No matter how much this is…’
‘The mist flower party has opened!
At that time, as soon as Bae Soo-bin ran out of the meeting room, he indiscriminately slaughtered the arrested residents.
As she giggled and cast magic at each one, she was steeped in madness.
< Witch of Massacre > Bae Su-bin.
The reason why she was called < The Witch of Massacre > is that she did not reap the touch of death until her face appeared even in front of people who begged for her life.
However, Shin Seo-young will not be as cruel as Bae Soo-bin.
Shin Seo-yeong, a woman who lives by love and dies by love.
She loves children and dreams of a better future, so she won’t kill those who haven’t done anything wrong yet.
