Chapter 331: Us in the Black World (4)

There was no need to be shaken.

It was the same as when it happened with Park Deokgu. I knew I didn’t need to be shaken, but the shock was pretty big.

Still, this was the last image of the person I was fond of. There was no way it wouldn’t be painful.

No, I didn’t even know that I was going to be this shaken.

Of course, it was true that I had gotten affectionate, but there were times when Jung Hayan made me annoyed, so it wouldn’t be strange to feel such a difference.

Anyway, my head was burning.

This was the second round. It just wouldn’t happen in my timeline.

I knew it wasn’t appropriate to be too immersed, but it was annoying that I was being forced to get immersed repeatedly.

The current Jung Hayan was spending her days very happily, so she was indeed different from the first round. It felt like I was stabilizing my mind and body when I breathed a little bit.

In the meantime, what was very flustering was that I was really paying for the sins I made. Fuck.

A joke had, indeed, become a reality.

It was correct to think that I had committed an indescribable amount of sins, not simply a mistake.

Because of the circumstances, it was no different from driving Jung Hayan to the end of a cliff and urging her to jump down the cliff.

But now that I thought that I was being punished, I started to get more and more flustered.

In fact, I was responsible for 80 percent for why Jung Hayan was in this condition, but it was a small citizen’s way of thinking that if others were being blamed, I would be the one to blame.

When I clicked my tongue for the rush of bitterness, the scenery surrounding me changed once again.

The most recent connection with Kasugano felt like I saw quite a lot, but this time, too.

I didn’t know if it was because I helped, but I could only explain that I was lucky this.

It seemed that the scenes I was going to see now would be the fastest thing in time.

What happened shortly was after Park Deokgu died.

The moment I saw myself from the black world very lean and full of spite, that thought began to shake my mind.

I couldn’t figure out where on earth I was heading or where I was in the black world.

It looked like an underground waterway, and in a way, it also looked like an abandoned dungeon.

However, it couldn’t be helped to be unkind when looking at the black world. One thing was certain. The place I was heading to right now was not a good place.

No matter how I thought about this, it didn’t make sense to arrive at a land flowing with honey and milk after passing such a place.

As expected, a voice began to come from one side of the darkness.

‘Long time no see. So… you’re Lee Kiyoung? I’m sorry for the confusion. I can’t remember people’s names well…’

‘No. It’s fine.’

‘I thought you wouldn’t look for me anymore… No, honestly, I never thought you would be alive. It’s nice to see you like this.’

‘Something happened. Well… I don’t think you want to know about it.’

‘You are right. It doesn’t matter how you are alive. Why did you come to this place? A few years ago, you definitely rejected my offer… Oh, come to think of it, is the big man dead?’

‘… …’

‘I thought he wouldn’t be able to live long, but my prediction…’

‘… …’

‘Honestly, it’s a miracle that the big guy was alive until then…’

‘Shut up.’

‘What?’

‘I said, shut up. If you talk one more time, I will tear your mouth as it is.’

‘I think I didn’t hear right. Are you sure you’re saying this to me?’

‘Of course, I am, dirty bitch. Do you have the right to say that? The bitch who was playing to be the saint of the abandoned was backstabbed and ended up in a cheap brothel.’

‘What?’

‘Did I say something wrong? Sun Hee-young?’

‘This crazy bastard…’

And what are you doing here…?

It was Sun Hee-young, the current Blue guild member, who appeared in the dark.

I roughly anticipated that the end would have been bad, but I never imagined I would meet her in a place like this.

It seemed that we had been well acquainted.

We didn’t look to be on good terms, but it was nice to see her. She looked very different from now.

Her face revealed that she had suffered all kinds of things.

Still, there was a bit of madness on her face, unlike now where she was in a good position.

Since I heard that she was going around a cheap brothel after being backstabbed, it would be natural for her to look like this, but still, I was surprised.

One little question was why Kim Hyunsung did not recognize her.

It was probably right to speculate that she was very likely active only in the shadows, or was not exposed to external affairs.

Perhaps she died relatively quickly, but now that was not important in this situation.

‘I didn’t say anything wrong.’

‘Do you want to die?’

‘That’s what I want to say. You crazy bitch.’

‘You!!’

I was more bothered about what kind of place this was, than why she was even in this place.

What the hell was that I had come here before, and I didn’t know what it meant that I rejected the offer she had made, but it was not that there was nothing to be expected.

I hoped my prediction to be wrong, but the voice coming from a deeper place told me that I was right.

‘Stop. I think it would be better to stop there, Hee-young. And… Kiyoung… it’s been a long time.’

It was Jung Jinho, the psychopath killer.

Another villain in the first round, Kim Hyunsung’s enemy and the owner of the murder brigade.

Of course, he was very different from what I saw in the second round.

I wanted to see the stats with my Mind’s Eye, but I couldn’t see them.

In fact, I didn’t even have to look. I could tell enough without checking that he was a powerful man.

He looked the same. He had several swords on his waist, and his equipment was light armor. It seemed that he still preferred lighter movements.

No matter how I thought about this, it looked like he had grown into a huge piece of trash. I am proud of myself for the wonderful disposal of this trash bastard in the second round.

He was not the only one who was here.

Lee Ki-cheol?

It was the guy who became the prey of the burning zombie in the tutorial dungeon.

Somehow, a criminal with a familiar name was also visible, guys stood out.

Of course, they were all faces I didn’t know now. There were over ten members at a glance, and everyone looked like a strong player who had reached a considerable level.

Naturally, they were powerful since they had been doing enough evil that made the lovely returner frightened.

They were not comparable to the Eight Seats of the State like Cha Hee-ra and Park Yeon-joo, but they were at least a group of guys who could make a name for themselves right below them.

The brigade was stronger than I had previously imagined.

Anyway, in response to Jung Jin-ho’s welcome greeting, I, too, in the black world, nodded, answering the greeting.

The atmosphere was quite harsh, but the black world Lee Kiyoung did not seem to be scared.

‘Yes. Long time no see.’

‘Groan. This is difficult.’

‘… …’

‘I remember sending you on the condition that you will never find us again… You should have died the moment you rejected our offer in the first place. It was my whim and consideration that saved you, but who would’ve thought you would come back like this. Oh, of course, if you’re here to tell something nice, I won’t use the rough method. However, depending on the situation, you may have to die here.’

‘… …’

‘Can I hear the reason you came?’

‘It won’t be something you won’t like.’

‘Yes, yes.’

‘It’s a bit embarrassing, but I came because I wanted to change the answer to the offer I had received.’

I knew it.

‘I don’t know. It’s nice, but I changed my mind from the time when I was trying to recruit you. At that time, I needed Kiyoung-ssi, but I don’t think I need you that much now.’

‘It will be helpful.’

‘I know it will help. I already know that you are excellent. However, if there is more than one head in a group, it will be a little messy. Oh, I think you understood what I mean, but the brigade has already recruited a head. It may be someone who may be better than you in some aspects. Personally, I want to include you, but the opinions of other members are also important. Of course, the position of the existing head is the most important, right? The opinions of the members of the brigade are the top priority. I am friendly to you, but the most important thing is our family.’

The appearance of the guy looking around in exaggeration was a spectacle.

I could see some of them opening their mouths as if in response to him.

‘Kill him.’

‘Let’s kill him.’

‘I think it would be better to kill him, too.’

‘I agree.’

It was male and female twins who opened their mouths.

The skinny and tall man also nodded. The guy without one leg also spoke quietly.

I didn’t know who they were, but it would be nice to remember these bastards’ faces now. All the guys who need to be killed right away were gathered here.

In particular, I surely remembered the faces of those who voted against it.

What was a little curious was that Sun Hee-young did not vote in favor.

Her own characteristic was probably influencing her, but her personality was a bit cautious. Although they had a brief quarrel, it was more natural for them to take a position to wait and see.

‘It seems that opinions will be divided into half and half, but I think we should hear about the motive before that. What made you feel like joining the brigade? It’s not unexpected, but I still want to hear it through your mouth.’

‘Revenge.’

‘Who is the target?’

‘All rotten humans on the continent.’

‘Ha… Haha. Puhahahahaha!’

‘It’s not funny.’

‘No. I wasn’t laughing because it’s funny. Hahaha. That’s great. Great. Haha. That passion is important. What do you think? Everyone. He wants to take revenge. Kiyoung, do you know that? Not all of those who come here move for the same reason. Some come in because of impulse, some because of pleasure, simply because they like money or murder, and others come in disappointed with humans. Everybody is different, but no one here will think less of your reason. Probably most of the brigade will agree with you. We grow up eating that negative energy. I particularly like that there is a clear direction.’

‘If so…’

‘But it’s impossible for now. If the existing head agrees, I will also vote in favor. Well… So I think things will be like this. What do you think?’

As psychopath killer Jung Jinho looked back, I could see a woman sitting.

Perhaps she was the head Jung Jinho was talking about. She was wearing a mask, and interestingly, that was the same design that I would wear afterward.

I see the woman, who slowly took off the mask, looking straight at me and opening her mouth.

‘Welcome to the brigade.’

Absurdly, the masked woman was also familiar to me.

Lee Jihye.

It was the woman who the system recognized as my soul mate.
