Chapter 156
Episode 156 Investigator (2)
A community of evil spirits: Ghostbusters.
My own source of information that Misha and Einar do not know about.
‘Let’s try it.’
I turned on the computer first, ignoring Lee Han-soo’s fluffy-looking bed.
12 hours this community will be maintained.
Because there is information in it that you must find out.
‘Orculis Noark the Dragon Slayer.’
In the past, it was a story of a distant country, but now they are closely related to my survival.
Library books are limited.
First of all, the medium of books itself was a structure that had no choice but to be slow with the latest information.
[1~140000GP] All information related to Orculis.
First of all, I opened a chat room after posting the purchase information on the exchange. Judgment that maybe this side might be much more helpful than the exchange.
[Long live Korea’s independence] – 1 person is online.
Lee Baek-ho seemed to have entered the chat room as soon as the community opened. Actually, I was very sad when I logged out at that time. Somehow, I was worried that I might come next time.
Like a child who hates to be separated from their parents.
‘Hoo, but he’s someone you can’t easily see.’
Somehow the taste was bitter.
An icon of misfortune brought on the day of his discharge, and a deceased person in this world who survived for nearly 10 years.
Lee Baek-ho has great favor with me… but
I don’t trust him completely.
[Ah… that’s because I’m actually in seclusion, so the latest information is a bit weak?]
At that time, the guy said that he was in seclusion. So, he introduced me to ‘The Watcher of the Round Table’, saying that he was weak in the latest information.
Last time I brushed it off, but…
I can’t rule out the possibility that he’s a member of Orculis or the underground city of Noark.
‘I’m a Korean, so no matter what I try, I’m just a person whose face and name I don’t know here.’
Soon I organized my thoughts.
Maintaining a relationship with Lee Baek-ho has more benefits than losses.
So, while digging into his true identity, don’t overdo it, and let’s try to uncover information about Orculis.
That was the moment I double-clicked the mouse.
“Tongue ugh!!!”
A large room reminiscent of an aristocratic mansion.
Before I could look around properly, Lee Baek-ho ran toward me.
“Ah Hansoo hyung! Why did you come now!”
“No, I came right away…”
“I was so nervous when I thought I was dead!”
Are you really saying empty words? For some reason, his eyes are bloody and his hair is dirty as if he has squeezed his hair.
It’s been less than 5 minutes since the community opened, and this kind of reaction.
How hungry he was—
“Hyung, you can’t die yet! You haven’t talked about idols yet, and you haven’t even cursed at politicians or the military. Only hyung can do that for you…! You have to talk about dunpa, too.” to do!”
Ah uh… that’s the problem.
Well, it’s funny to expect a normal person’s sensibility from a guy who has survived 10 years here.
I smiled and sat down in the chair.
“Stop it. I won’t die.”
“Yeah. Then what should we talk about? Ah, Lovely 3rd regular album? After all, that would be the best, right?”
No, who is Lovely…..
Since I wasn’t interested in the entertainment industry, I naturally turned the topic around. If I’m being honest, I don’t know why.
“……Let’s talk about the military.”
“It’s great! Huh? But now that I think about it, wasn’t it a public interest?”
“Still, I went to the training center, man.”
“Umm…”
I wonder if the story of the trainee days isn’t very appealing? Lee Baek-ho made a strange expression and spoke to me cautiously.
“Hyung, too, just talking about Dunpa…….”
“I haven’t tried that.”
“Yes, yes! Didn’t you say it was for the public interest?!”
Lee Baek-ho blacked out as if he had heard something he couldn’t hear.
Did you just come to your senses later?
“Ah! I’m sorry, bro. I didn’t mean that, you know?”
“…Okay, let’s do something like that.”
“Yes……”
The atmosphere quickly became awkward.
Lee Baek-ho scratched his cheek, looking somewhat depressed.
There was nothing I couldn’t understand.
I was just delighted to hear that they were the same Koreans, but I guess they realized that we actually don’t have much in common—
“Puheh! Puchuhheh…….”
“Why are you laughing?”
“No brother. Isn’t something funny though? The conversation we just had.”
is it? I’m not sure.
Which part was so much fun?
“I can’t explain it well, but for some reason, I really felt like I had just returned to Korea.”
Oh that.
“…If that’s the case, then I think I know. Roughly how it feels.”
“Yes?”
Lee Baek-ho smiled and sat back in his chair. And rather than forcibly creating a topic and having a conversation, we naturally had a conversation.
We started with what we originally did, and we just exchanged stories as they went by, and eventually we ended up talking about the military.
“The training camp was also funny. I didn’t know there were so many crazy people in our country?”
“Anyway, the environment is the environment. Everyone becomes normal when they go outside.”
“Well… that’s true. We didn’t expect it to end like this either, right? We’ll probably have to go to a psychiatric hospital first, right?”
“I’d rather not talk about this.”
“No. Didn’t you think about it? Kill me if I get in your way, kill me if I’m suspicious, and worry about someone new when I meet someone else. People’s lives… I feel like I’m just a game character. This is crazy, isn’t it? ”
The air settled heavily as if the giggling moments before was a lie.
“You’ll adapt quickly. Just like when you came here.”
“…Is that right?”
“okay.”
A moment of silence passed after that.
Lee Baek-ho was the first to speak.
“Anyway, so thank you hyung. To be honest, I thought I had to go back these days. It’s not because I like this place……. You know what I’m talking about.”
“okay.”
“You might think it’s no big deal, but at least it motivates me. Giggling here gives me the belief that I’ll be able to do it when I go back.”
It’s faith…….
I felt a sense of incongruity in that word.
But I didn’t dig deep.
I’m still not sure what to say, and I judged that there was nothing to gain by touching it.
“Ah, do you know more about Orculis?”
I naturally brought out the main topic.
It was nothing special, as if the purpose was to end the heavy atmosphere.
I threw it away and focused on the change in Lee Baek-ho’s expression.
There was no change whatsoever.
But…
“Orculis? Why are they curious?”
Lee Baek-ho asks the reason first.
Until now, no matter what I asked, he just answered fluently.
More and more doubts arise.
What is he really like?
***
“You need a treasure chest to get to the last floor. I wonder if they stole it. Oh, you know that someone stole it, right?”
Without a moment’s silence, as I typed out the lines I had prepared, Lee Baek-ho nodded.
“Yes. I know. But that’s why you asked… I was relieved.”
“Are you sure?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
Lee Baek-ho smirked and continued.
“Anyway, hyung managed to think that far. Actually, I also thought that way once.”
“You mean not now?”
“Yes. I checked it using various methods, but I don’t think it’s true. That’s because it was about half a year ago that all of the Noble Phantasms were stolen, right?”
“Are you going to get rid of everything?”
“Oh, you didn’t know that. All six races were robbed. On the same day.”
Elder Hu said that other races might be in a similar situation.
That was true.
“It doesn’t make sense realistically. I don’t know if it’s from another race, but stealing things from dragons and humans? Amman, but even if they fly and crawl, they can’t do that. Well, I did some research just in case, but I couldn’t come up with any clues.”
“So you don’t know who stole it?”
“Yes. Hyung, if you find any traces, please let me know. As you know, if there is a way to return home, that’s the only one, right?”
It was a question Orculis asked because he was curious, but he learned an unexpected fact.
He also knows nothing about the Noble Phantasm.
I even had the delusion for a while that he might be the final black man.
“Hyung, aren’t you thinking about something else? Competitors or something. Up to five of us can open the door together anyway. I’ll help if I’m here.”
“No, that’s not it…”
I couldn’t express my thoughts in front of my face, so I just covered it up.
“It’s just that it’s a little strange that you say that to me. How can I find traces that you couldn’t find?”
“Uh, I don’t have anything to say if I say that… But for some reason, I think hyung is a bit special. Actually, it’s been like that since the first time I saw him.”
“…I’m really speechless when you say that.”
“I heard that Ai hyung also broke 10 times? Won’t he be similar to me after 10 years? In fact, I have almost no corner to become stronger…” Putting aside the fact that there
is no room to become stronger.
I could feel Lee Baek-ho’s mental strength in his casually spitting voice. He had already predicted that it would take another 10 years to find the Noble Phantasm.
But you’re not even thinking about giving up.
How did you become obsessed?
“That’s right. Can I tell you something interesting? Maybe hyung didn’t know. It’s a setting that didn’t exist in the game.”
“What?”
“There’s a huge underground city under the sewers. It’s called Noark.”
“……Noark?”
I tried hard to keep my composure.
Should I file a complaint for non-intervention?
I don’t think he would have brought this up first.
“Yes. It reminds me of Orculis. In fact, this is also their headquarters. You know the Ormi Revolutionary Corps, right?”
I laughed at the slightly unexpected name.
The Ormi Revolutionary Corps.
“They’re the ones who used to appear at events from time to time. They told me to come and turn the world upside down as soon as I got some fame.”
For reference, accepting the event always resulted in a dead ending. I tried countless times to see if there was a hidden condition, but there was nothing I could change because it was a problem with the game structure itself.
“Noark was also made by those bastards. They all fled down after failing to rebel.”
“It’s amazing. So what?”
“That’s all. Their goals are similar, right? So they said they were teaming up there and working together.”
Cooperation between Noark and Orculis.
This was the part I found out from the letter left by High Priest Ludwig.
In other words, starting now is important.
How can I ask for information about the dragon slayer without being suspicious?
It was the moment I was thinking about it.
“Hyung, I’m telling you this just in case, but even if you receive a request from the royal family or guild later, don’t even go far in this regard.”
“I think we need to hear the reason first.”
“Ah, if I do this again, it’s going to be a long conversation……”
Lee Baek-ho looked at me and let out a deep sigh, then quickly continued.
“There’s a dragon slayer, but that bastard did a really stupid thing this time. He must have missed it while kidnapping the High Priest. Someone accidentally picked up a letter and brought it to the temple or something.”
I swallowed hard and asked back.
“……What happened?”
“I don’t know the details either. I heard you lost your memory and don’t know what happened to Ji?”
Did you lose your memory ?
Could it be that it
had something to do with the broken vine?
What I want to say is that they broke the agreement first, so you should never participate in it because a punitive army might be formed.” “…….”
”
They’re not still alive under it. I got caught for no reason, only hyung gets hurt. okay? Mistress, it’s already time. brother! See you later—”
Soon after,
Baekho Lee
‘s
voice collapsed and disappeared without a
shape
.
I came back to the office and organized my thoughts
for a while. No, to be more precise, I chewed over a sentence he said over
and over again
. If you think about pills, it’s possible.
But the problem is, I don’t know if this is a fact.
It’s possible that Lee Baek-ho heard the rumors made up by Orcules and gave them to me.
But if this is true… …
‘It makes sense that the vine was cut off.’
It’s understandable to some extent.
This ring doesn’t cut off bad ties with him. It
just delays
it.
If you keep track of who delivered the letter, you’ll find out about me someday.
There’s also the matter of disposing of the dragon slasher.
Even if that’s not the case, the possibility that Noark has a means to restore memories is open.
That’s why… ‘
My job will remain the same.’
I sat down at the computer again and did what I had to do.
If I was checking if there was an information sale post, I met and bought it at a reasonable price.
I didn’t bother to cover it up even if it wasn’t about the dragon slayer. [03: 09]
It
‘s time for the watchers of the round table to open.
I deliberately waited until there was 1 minute left before entering the room before entering the secret chat room.
That’s because the beauty of concept quality is in the details .
As I put on the mask of a lion on the table, the closed door opened.
The
red carpet extended to the room with the round table. As I
walked slowly, I heard the sound of a conversation in the
distance
. Is it?”
“I don’t think it’s strange. There’s no reason we’d need him.”
“No, who the hell is that person? Is everyone like that?”
A voice I heard for the first time in the middle.
It seems that he was a member who hadn’t attended at the time…
“What did he explain? It’s hard to do.”
“It’s a geek. So, if you ever meet someone, be careful. Otherwise, you will have a very difficult time.”
In response to the senior’s experienced advice, the newbie said,
“Ha, I really don’t understand. Are you kidding everyone? Physical power doesn’t work and you don’t even know my identity, so what are you so afraid of?”
“Fisisit. Isn’t there just one way to live?” “What…… No
matter how hard you try, if you’re at our level,
you’ll be able to defend yourself enough, right?”
.
_
_
_ Mr. Lion.”
Except for the clown, he looked at me and was silent.
But wouldn’t he have liked that atmosphere? The
newbie giggled and laughed awkwardly.
.”
I quietly stared at the newbie.
Then, I opened up the life I had practiced so hard.
“……!!”
If a cancer newbie comes, you should take the initiative.
Isn’t that a tradition here?
