Episode 124 Deceased Person (3)
First, I made a simple statement.
Not as Bjorn Yandel, but as Lee Han-soo.
“This is Lee Han-soo. He’s twenty-nine years old.”
“Your brother is the same as me. My name is Lee Baek-ho. He was 23 years old.”
“You were twenty-three?”
“It’s true… I’ve been here for over ten years.”
“Ah, that’s right…”
I didn’t know what to say.
I expected the chat room skin to be luxurious, but it’s been over ten years since I came here?
Do you mean there are all these poor people?
“Wait a minute, then you’re older than me—”
“Brother! Don’t talk like a nut! I’m going back. So I’m going to assume your real age!”
“Uh… well, if that’s the case.”
As a member of a Confucian nation with a high ranking position, there was no reason to stop him from wanting to be his younger brother.
After that, the genealogy was organized.
“Anyway, bro, I’m sorry, but can I excuse you?”
“excuse?”
“That… It’s like a simple test. First of all, I think you’re certain, but… But I think I should try it.”
“No, so what is that?”
“If I tell you, you can just tell me what comes to your mind first after hearing it. Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s a matter that Koreans can’t be wrong about.”
After listening to it, it was a kind of Korean test.
It’s kind of hard for him to say this, but he says he’s doing well this way? Because of that, it seems that there were some guys pretending to be Korean and trying to suck honey.
If it’s like that, what
“Then shall we begin…?”
“Yes.”
He nodded, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but since he’s like this, I’m nervous.
Of course, as he said, the quiz itself was easy.
“kimchi?”
“…soup?”
“A cow’s head?”
“Soup.”
“Saudi Arabia?”
“Arabia.”
“Service Creed.”
“…our resolve. And I was in the public interest.”
“Ah… Anyway, this is the end.”
Lee Baek-ho catches his breath and looks at me again with serious eyes.
The car that I thought it was all a joke in front of me.
Lee Baek-ho’s mouth opened.
“For relaxation?”
“Dog… Hey you crazy bastard.”
The moment when the swear words came out without me knowing.
My body stiffened by the strange spirit.
At some point, Lee Baek-ho’s cold eyes were on me.
It seems like everything you’ve shown so far has been acting.
“I believe you are Korean.”
What are you talking about this bastard
***
Baekho Lee.
A player from Korea who was brought here on the day he was discharged and has lived in this world for over ten years.
He seems like a nice kid, but…
‘Does he have a problem with his head too?’
Unknowingly, my eyes narrowed.
However, after listening to the excuses that followed, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
“Oh, I’m sorry for speaking rudely. It was a line I prepared to say when a person who passes the test comes out. I didn’t know it would take more than three years, but…….” Even I, who thought I was
far from these feelings, missed this conversation. it’s about
Besides, when this guy first came, there wouldn’t have been a community like Ghostbusters.
An environment that would have been perfect for ruining a person’s personality.
“So what’s your brother’s name?”
“You said it earlier.”
“Other than that, it’s the name you use here. I need to know that so I can help. Koreans aren’t corpses without loyalty and affection, right?”
“My heart is grateful.”
I smiled and shook my head.
Then Lee Baek-ho looked at me with eyes that really didn’t understand.
“Why don’t you tell me that? If you tell me your name, hyung can live without worrying about taxes.”
The boy’s voice was full of confidence.
It must have already achieved that level of position here.
But still my answer is the same.
“If I suggest the opposite, will you tell me your name?”
“Uh, no matter how big your brother is…”
“I’m the same.”
Did I finally realize that I was different from the average newbie? Lee Baek-ho asked me with a much more interested look than before.
“How many times have you woken up?”
“you?”
“Ten times.”
10 times?
I heard that the founder of Ghostbusters is 15x?
When I looked at him in surprise, he scratched the short back of his head.
“Even if it’s 10 times, it’s no big deal. You broke it with Gara anyway. That’s why there are a lot of things I don’t know even though 10 years have passed. Hey, if it was going to be like this, I’d just do an original.”
Maybe it’s because he’s survived in this world for over 10 years, but his mindset is definitely different from the kids he met in the New Vibang.
“So what about your brother?”
After thinking for a while, I replied.
“I also woke up with ten times the bill.”
“Oh really?”
I was worried in my heart, but Lee Baek-ho meekly believed my words.
“Yeah, that’s enough to be Korean.”
“what?”
“Originally, when it comes to gaming, you’re Korean, right?”
I wonder if the gukppong is too severe, but…….
I didn’t bother holding the horse’s tail and falling.
Isn’t that a pitiful boy? I also have to embrace and care for you with my heart.
“Yes, you’re right.” “Isn’t that right? Ha, it’s really too bad. Even if it had been patched in Korean, there
would have been at
least a few people who broke the original version…”
“Ah brother… Then can I get some GP?”
“It would be nice to give it to you, but I won’t cash it out anyway. There are plenty of ways to earn anyway.”
“Jjeok-hyung, like me, will continue to accumulate GP.”
Except for our personalities, Lee Baek-ho and I were similar in many ways.
He tried not to reveal his identity hastily, and unlike his frivolous personality, his actions seemed prudent.
Well, I guess I’ll survive that long.
“Umm… Then there’s nothing I can do for you.”
“Okay, I didn’t ask for anything in the first place. Let’s just meet up and chat.”
“Keuheuk… Brother…!”
In my words, did it feel like meeting a real compatriot?
Lee Baek-ho cried, wiping away the tears that hadn’t come out.
Of course it wasn’t long.
“Brother, if you have any questions, please ask.
Why is his emotional ups and downs so severe?
It is difficult to follow the tension at all.
Once you told me that, I did ask all the questions you were curious about.
“Do you know who the operator is here?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Actually, I took the pills after robbing the secret police headquarters in the early days.”
“Then you don’t even know who you are?”
“But maybe you’ll guess? I’ve got a guy who can figure it out to some extent…
”
Lee Baek-ho called the suspects by name one by one. All of them were wizards, except for one, who were so famous that even I had heard of them.
“If you’re my brother, I’m sure you’ll take care of yourself, but don’t ever expose your identity here. As far as I know, there are a few bastards attached to the royal family.”
Lee Baek-ho even gave me advice without asking if he liked me.
Unlike my newbie friends who said this place was 100% safe, I really liked the pessimistic view.
In that sense, one more question.
“Is there any way the operator can find out my identity?”
“No. Wouldn’t that be difficult? In the first place, this space wasn’t made with their own power, it’s more like a remodel.”
“remodeling?”
“There have been demons in this city since a hundred years ago. That’s more than twenty years ago on Earth. So who are they?”
Uh… honestly, that’s something I hadn’t thought of at all.
Twenty years ago, let alone [Dungeons and Stones], wasn’t it a time when LCD monitors weren’t properly distributed?
“I don’t know, so just tell me.”
“The answer is those from another dimension!”
“Another dimension…?”
“Yes. I’ve never met them in person, but as far as I know, they say they were transferred in the form of reading books about this world.”
Incidentally, there were only a handful of evil spirits at the time, and it is said that all of them had unique powers.
Is it assumed that one of them created this space and that the current operator inherited it by chance?
‘I heard something amazing all of a sudden.’
At this point, Lee Baek-ho’s identity is also curious.
What kind of guy is he that he knows all this casually?
‘Well, it’s a bitch for me.’
I changed my mind and continued to ask Lee Baek-ho a lot of questions and clear up his doubts.
However, this guy was not omnipotent either.
“Ah… that’s because I’m actually in seclusion, so the latest information is a bit weak?”
“Are you in hiding?”
“Yes, it’s a little too much to tell you in detail. If you want to get the latest information, I’ll introduce you to a chat room. There’s a club called ‘Watchers of the Round Table’… made by idiots with middle school two.”
The chat room Lee Baek-ho informed about is secretly operated and is a kind of community among deceased people who can enter only with an invitation code… “If you go there, your
nickname and face will be covered, so don’t worry… I heard that you get kicked out after being beaten, but since you broke 10 times, I don’t think you need to worry about this……”
The guy explained each one from one to ten as if sending a child on a picnic.
It was quite long, but all of it was useful, so I listened to it without interruption.
“Hyung, then I’ll go see you later.”
“Are you leaving already?”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you about that. I took the initial pill, so I’m only here for an hour.”
…is this a generation gap?
Even if he suddenly complains, ‘It’s my time’, I think I’ll just listen. That’s right, just looking at him, it seems like he’s had a tougher life than me.
“Do you really have to come next time?”
“Okay, see you next time.”
“If there are people who act meanly in the city, please tell them that you remembered them.”
“Okay…”
“Oh and again—”
“It’s okay, go away. Can’t we meet again later and talk about it?”
“Oh right… Next time… Your brother! See you next time!”
Soon after, the guy who was looking at me with an uneasy expression left with a naive smile.
So, I quit the chat room.
Then, as he told me, I entered the code in the chat room search box and entered ‘Watcher of the Round Table’. [ Entrance
is not possible.]
[OPEN 03:00 ~ 03:10]
Uh, Baekho didn’t tell me this.
I had no choice but to spend time looking around the exchange and other bulletin boards.
And the clock on the bottom left of the monitor When it pointed to three o’clock, I tried to enter again.
[Your new member has been verified.]
[Welcome to becoming a member of the Watchers of the Round Table.]
[This meeting is strictly anonymous… .] Messages from Lee Baek-
ho
flashed through my mind, and when I opened my eyes,
I was in the customization room.
***
A room full of all sorts of costumes and accessories.
I wonder if I have to hide my identity, but…
First of all, there are rules, so it’s better to follow them.
I skimmed through and chose something that was moderately passable as if it were a cosplay.
A slim-fit navy blue suit .
.’ For reference, the
masks
were diverse enough to fill one wall,
but there were
many empty places to avoid overlapping. As I walked slowly while exploring the surroundings, a large round table appeared. There were dozens of seats, but there were only four
people
sitting
.
“…….”
Heavy silence.
They say it’s a community of old people.
Those eyes are bloody.
Don’t you know that newbies are beings that need to be cared for and cared for? “Oh, this is
a mask I’ve never seen before?”
A woman wearing a fox mask asked in a hoarse voice,
“How did you get here? It’s already been over a year since we haven’t received a new member.”
I didn’t know there was such a situation.
“Say it now. Who you are and who recommended you.”
But this was a prepared question, so there was no problem.
“You must answer only the truth. Because this is such a place.”
As the woman said, a special skin is applied to this space. If you lie, the mask will be broken and you will be immediately banished from the chat room. However, there is one exception
here . ‘
But if
everyone keeps their mouths shut and just watches, that means they’re all in the same room. Or are they just curious about what kind of guy I am?’
I understood what he said to go hard at the first meeting.
It must have been advice from the experience engraved in his bones.
Therefore, I was reluctant, but this time I just decided to follow the line and direction that Lee Baek-ho recommended. “Oh,
that ‘s me?”
After acting.
“Yes, you said—
