Lesson 17. How to clear the Trick Room – 1
“I decided to call it Goeyeonggong.”
Ban Yu-won muttered as he walked lightly under the dark night sky where the moon did not even rise.
The black shadows swaying beneath his feet possessed eerie magical powers.
The monster itself hides its sharp claws in a vague presence that seems to exist or not exist.
“There are no leopards or weasels? It’s not even a beast at all.”
Dok-go-yeon read the essence of martial arts from the qi he radiated, and replied with a tone of absurdity.
Ban Yu-won, who responded to him, only shrugged his shoulders.
“In the process of arranging the images, I cut out all the useless things while maintaining the stealth of the shadows and ferocity of the beasts, and only one strange monster remained.”
The depth of Goeyeonggong, a newly born martial art concept, is 100, minus 3 from the combined depth of Jamyeongbo (38) and Assassination (65)
. Since airspace was a higher level concept like Hyeonsin-gong, it became embarrassingly powerful compared to concepts such as sleepwalking or assassination.
‘Of course, it’s not perfect yet, but on the contrary, it means there’s room for improvement.’
Goe Young-gong is just the beginning.
Ban Yu-won, who realized the harmony between the flow of internal energy (vertigo) and herbivore (body), had an ambitious dream of creating his own martial arts based on Hyeonsingong, as Dokgo-yeon had previously told him.
While creating Goeyeonggong, he gained some confidence.
Of course, he did not have the illusion that he really had an excellent talent for creating martial arts.
‘It’s all thanks to the fact that the foundation was polished with the incarnation. Such a bold act was possible because I gained insight into my inner strength and body through the Transfiguration Ball.’
I got a lot of sources from here and there, such as the concept of Dokgoyeon’s escort, Dokmunmugong, and the shadow weasel, but in the end, Goeyeonggong was also born on the basis of Hyeonsingong.
According to the direction of the trainee’s growth, it was a martial art like Eevee that could develop in a different way.
Ban Yu-won was a little suspicious that the creepy martial arts that Dokgo-yeon handled… that radiated the aura of death might be based on Hyeonsingong.
“There is something I want to ask you seriously about Dok-go-yeon…”
“Shh. We have come to the wall.”
Just when Ban Yu-won couldn’t hold back his doubts and was about to ask her, Dok-go-yeon calmly cut him off.
Suddenly, her entire body was covered in darkness, making her invisible.
Promising to ask later, Ban Yu-won also operated Goeyeong-gong in earnest.
Feeling as if the body is sinking into the shadows.
It turned into a monster of shadow that hid itself in the darkness and aimed at the nape of its prey.
– It’s also worth it. I almost want to inform my escort.
―I’m sorry, but I don’t want to meet him as much as possible.
Since he had learned his own martial art and even modified it according to his own taste, he might not know it, but wouldn’t he try to tear him to death the moment he saw him?
Dok-go-yeon looked at Ban Yu-won, who was serious, with a small smile.
―But there is no one standing guard… no one at all? What was the strict boundary of the day?
―What is it, really?
Ban Yu-Won was dumbfounded and followed Dok-Go-Yeon to the top of the castle wall.
There could have been two guards standing there, but it was just quiet.
Without hesitation, the two jumped over the wall and entered the city.
Like the walls, the interior of the city was also extremely quiet.
―I waited until midnight to move… but I never thought there would be no patrols.
– Could it be magic?
―If someone who performs such a large-scale magic trick is the enemy, it won’t be easy to deal with.
Conversing with whole tones (It’s not language magic. I became able to do whole tones naturally while making Goeyeonggong.) The two of them went deeper and deeper into the city.
The city was a mix of half stone buildings and half wooden buildings, and looking at the structure of the buildings, I could roughly guess the background of the times.
I wondered if Europe would be like this 5-600 years ago if we were to set the earth as a standard.
‘Maybe the appearance of some other dimension that has developed civilization to this level has been brought here?’
At the time when Ban Yu-Won’s thoughts continued, Dok-Ko-Yeon, who sensed the change, sent an electric message to him.
―Something started sneaking up.
―Isn’t that just us… Ugh!
Even though he was playing Goeyoung-gong, Dok-go-yeon, who had found the half-yuwon’s mapak like a ghost and was grinding it, led him up the roof of a nearby building.
-see.
-Wow, that’s really scary.
The human figure, wearing a hooded hood, walked quickly across the alleyway.
He kept looking around as if he was wary of something, but he didn’t seem to have enough skills to spot Dok-go-yeon and Ban-yu-won.
With this, it seemed that Dokgo-yeon’s ’23 room monster group theory’ could be discarded.
“Lord, please help me find the culprit today…”
The voice that came out of the hood was carried by the night wind and reached Banyuwon’s ears.
It was the voice of a young man, neither an angel nor a girl.
-The culprit. Are you looking for the culprit behind an incident in the city? Why is it in the middle of the night?
– Let’s watch more.
The man, who had been moving cautiously, stopped in front of a fairly large stone building.
As the two watched, he knelt on the floor and raised his hands in front of his chest in prayer.
“Lord, answer me.”
A small sobbing voice.
Ban Yu-wen guessed that it was a magical chant.
“Is the murderer in here?”
‘…huh?’
It was the moment when Ban Yu-won’s eyes flashed open.
But no matter what he thought or not, the magic worked successfully.
A pure white cross appeared in the air and was pierced on top of the building, then disintegrated and disappeared.
The man saw it and was devastated.
“Ah, I can’t find it again…!”
“….”
A man who gets up from his seat in despair.
It seemed that he had little magic power, and he was gasping for breath as he entered the alley from which he came.
Ban Yu-won looked at the lonely back… and made an expression of bitterness.
―What’s wrong, Banyuwon?
―This is like a game I know. But I’m not sure yet. Let’s wait a minute.
―Game… play…? this situation?
Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait thousands of years.
After only a few minutes, I could read signs of something moving inside the city.
A very rough and ferocious unorganized aura.
A bloody horde roamed the city.
-Let’s go.
-okay.
The time when Dokgo-yeon and Ban Yu-won were about to throw themselves after exchanging electric notes.
The new rules of the Trick Room appeared as if they had been waiting for them and blocked their eyes.
―Those who do not contract with the Constellation cannot act inside the city at night.
“What?!”
“…!”
At the same time as the eyes of the two were blurred, a terrible force occurred and threw them high into the sky.
Dok-go-yeon balanced in the air, and Ban Yu-won summoned Lilith for a brief moment and boarded it, but was unable to enter the city again.
“I am completely blocked. … I feel a vulgar aura similar to the power of the constellation.”
Dok-go-yeon, who had been knocking on the transparent barrier blocking their eyes several times, clicked his tongue and said,
The wall was surrounded in a hemispherical shape that completely covered the entire small city, so it was impossible to find a gap, and even the inside of the city could not be seen due to the haze of fog.
“It must have been against the law to sneak in at night. I thought it would be okay…”
Ban Yu-Won sighed and replied.
Could it be that the reason why he survived for a few minutes without being kicked out was because his infiltration level was so high that he didn’t get caught?
However, when a full-scale ‘change’ occurred in the city, it was caught because it moved in a hurry to follow it.
“Sorry, it’s because of me. If I had just left you alone, I would have been able to gather enough information.”
“Don’t talk anti-yuwon nonsense. I allowed you to accompany me because I considered your stealth skills to be as good as mine. So, both of us were lacking in ability. Wow!”
Dok-go-yeon said firmly, but after knocking on the barrier a few more times, he sighed lightly and landed on the floor.
Banyuwon piloted Lilith and landed next to her.
“Thank you for saying that.”
“I didn’t care about your feelings, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Looking back at the small town that was filled with fog and stained with haze, Dokgo Kite flashed in the pupils of the cross.
“When the day is bright, I will try again from the front. At least I know one more trick.”
“I said it was a constellation.”
Ban Yu-won’s eyes lit up as he listened to Dok-go-yeon’s words.
Dokgoyeon nodded and continued.
“Those who do not contract with the Constellation cannot act at night. This is not asking climbers to sign a contract with the Constellation…”
“It’s a hint that those who move at night are related to the Constellation.”
The city’s citizens reject outsiders A city bathed in an unnatural silence as soon as night falls.
And those who sneak in the sleeping city.
It could be seen that the theme of Room 23 was not a simple trick, but a test of how climbers cope in a space where the coercive force of the constellation works.
Ban Yu-won let out a wry smile.
‘As expected, the Tower and the Constellation were in a mutually supportive relationship. It’s nothing new.’
I thought as I went through various phenomena related to constellations in the tower, including sanctification.
I wondered if not only the Constellations were using the Tower, but the Tower was also using the Constellations.
As expected, now that we have reached Room 23, we have learned that the Tower openly uses constellations to test climbers.
But apart from that insight, I realized something about what was happening in Room 23 this time.
‘The atmosphere of the city during the day and at night is completely different. While normal citizens are unable to act, only a few do… and some have special means to find the murderer. Murderers move in groups.’
“Isn’t this a complete mafia (werewolf) game?!”
“It’s about that game again. Please tell me in detail.”
“So…”
Ban Yu-won briefly explained to Dok-go-yeon about the werewolf game he knew.
Night is the time of murderers (Constellation Contractors). They rampage to their heart’s content, attacking citizens, creating innocent victims, and then crawling back into the darkness.
Citizens who wake up during the day know that a new victim has occurred, but they do not know who the murderer is.
But nonetheless, they must find the murderer and hang him.
Before every citizen living in the city is killed by the murderers.
“Of course, there are abilities that counteract murderers (contractors from other constellations), but as we saw earlier in the city, it’s a little…
”
“okay. If we can quickly find and kill the murderer, the citizens will have a huge advantage. It’s a well-balanced game in many ways.”
Ban Yu-won smiled lightly as he remembered the memory of playing the mafia game with his friends on a high school field trip.
As his older sister said, Ban Yu-Won’s speech was at a level that ordinary people could not touch, so when he played the Mafia game, his team always won.
It went on so long that when you start a game later, whether you’re a mafia or a citizen, it became a rule to kill the half-amusers first!
‘I get pissed off thinking about it again. Those bastards will die when they return to Earth.’
Dok-go-yeon looked at him with a fleshy smile on his face.
“Your world… the more you know about it, the more terrifying it is. I thought you hadn’t killed a single person before you came here, but I’m a little surprised.”
“No crazy.”
Don’t look at the survivors of some death game!
“Game is called game. There is no actual murder, but a few rules are set, and several people come together to assume the situation and have fun.”
“That’s even weirder. Rather… So you’re saying that after all, we can go into the city tomorrow and find the killer on the people’s side and kill him?”
“yes.”
Ban Yu-won nodded and thought on the other hand.
‘As expected, this will be solved right away with my authority.’
-That’s what I said.
Sellon, who read his thoughts, said in a sullen tone.
―And besides, you can recognize the contract holder of the Constellation now, right?
‘As long as the opponent isn’t much better than me, maybe.’
As Banyuwon received the support of two constellations, his fundamental understanding of the constellations deepened.
Why don’t they have stigmata that reached 5?
Unless the opponent is as strong as Dokgo Yeon, it won’t be difficult to recognize the stigmata he harbors inside his body.
Even if Mandok-an’s distinction between good and evil is somewhat ambiguous, if you find those who have the concept of stigmata and cross-examine them, you will be able to find a perfect group of murderers!
“Umm…”
But Dokgo-yeon, who heard that, made an expression as if he was worried about something.
“…no.”
Glancing at Ban Yu-won’s calm face, he said as if he had promised something.
“Certainly, with your abilities, you can finish it in an instant. However, the ability to deal with crises of other party members does not grow. I can’t just depend on you unilaterally.”
“But it has to be done quickly and neatly so that you can taste the fruits of Eden even in Room 30.”
“…but let’s try. Once in a while should be fine.”
“Yes, I understand.”
for about 5 seconds.
Hearing that he might not be able to eat the fruit of Eden, Dok-go-yeon was seriously conflicted with a shocked look on his face, so he decided to turn a blind eye for her honor.
