How to Survive as a Player Chapter 161

#161

“This is only this time, so keep that in mind.”

“okay okay. Don’t worry, I won’t go. huh?”

Sehyun omitted the word ‘as much as possible’ and just smiled humanly. He also didn’t forget to speak soothingly.

As Ruhak began to move, Sehyeon’s plan progressed quickly. When I got to the front of the gatehouse, Kim Gap-jun, who had already heard the news from his vassal, was out alone, shaking his legs and fuming.

The grinding of his teeth could be seen even from afar. I understood the reason. Because the training center was quite far from the gateway.

“Mr. Gapjun Kim.”

Kim Gap-Jun, who had been waiting with his arms crossed when Se-Hyeon called, turned to Se-Hyun so loud that a sudden sound was heard. Soon his pointed finger stuck out. It was pointing.

“No, who is this guy training a mutt! Well, it’s okay to sing this. But why is it a gateway? Do you know how far this is from the training center?!”

“There’s a lot in there, right? Wow, I almost didn’t know. “How can people change like this?”

Kim Gap-Jun’s eyes turned to my stomach. He glanced down, and as if he had gone too far, he cleared his throat and awkwardly turned away. With quite generous eyes.

“Tell me about your business.”

“There is a place I need you to go with. “It’s not a dangerous place, just go and say a word.”

“Oh, speak straight. “Where are you going?”

“This is where we first opened our eyes.”

Kim Gap-Jun’s eyes grew as big as his fists. The gaze went straight to the gate of the gateway. Kim Gap-jun seemed frozen and did not move for a while, perhaps looking at a place where the portal might be.

“… Why are you going there?”

“I have an answer I need to hear. Each player has something called the ‘right to ask questions’, and I would like to ask Gapjun Kim to use his ‘right to ask questions’. I’m already exhausted, so I need someone to get the answer for me. “I hope Mr. Kim Gap-Jun will take his place.”

Kim Gap-Jun did not give any answer. However, he first took his feet from where he was standing and moved on. The direction was a gatehouse with a tightly closed door.

“Oh, open the door quickly! “I can’t go!”

As expected, it was his answer. Sehyun smiled and walked towards Kim Gapjun. The moment Sehyun took a step, the gatehouse door began to open with a long noise.

Sunlight poured through the grand gate onto everyone’s heads. Behind Sehyun, footsteps followed with a heavy sound.

The odorless space remained the same. Numerous portals filled the field of vision and even a huge mirror covered the sky. It was a place where everything was peaceful and quiet, and even complicated thoughts became calm.

“Ruhak, are you okay?”

Sehyeon’s gaze passed Kim Gap-jun, who was looking around, and then turned to Ruhak, who was walking behind him. Ruhak, with dark red blood covering his right arm, answered by nodding his head. The gaze was somehow sharp.

On the outside, it looked fine. If he hadn’t seen what happened when he came through the portal, he might have actually believed that.

Naturally, the odorless space rejected Ruhak. Even though he was covered in Sehyun’s blood, fierce sparks and flames roared at Ruhak. Nevertheless, Ruhak took a heavy step towards the pushing space. He had a strong feeling that he was being forced to enter.

I also saw my teeth clenching under pressure. The words that I shouldn’t go came to me as if in passing.

“So what can I do?”

Se-hyeon’s eyes turned to Kim Gap-jun at the sudden words. Kim Gap-Jun, who had probably finished watching, was looking at Se-Hyeon with his back turned and a sad expression on his face.

Sehyun stopped walking instead of answering. And then he opened his mouth briefly into the air.

“Please come out, Mr. Billwill.”

At Sehyeon’s call, the surface of the huge mirror in the sky shook like a tremble. Soon, Billwill, wearing her hat, popped out her head and appeared. Her sparkling monocle was as dazzling as her eyes were.

[Aren’t you angry at me?]

“It’s okay, just come down.”

Sehyeon waved his hand and responded in an annoyed tone. Billwill tilted her head, pretending to be worried, and after a while she pulled her body out of the mirror and slowly came down. However, a huge explosion suddenly occurred in the air, centered around the fluttering tailcoat.

Kwaaang-!!

It literally happened in an instant without any warning. The explosion did not end in just one time. As the explosion followed persistently, fire that seemed to be cooking flesh covered the surroundings. Surprised by this, Kim Gap-jun quickly fell to the floor and covered his head, while Se-hyeon covered the firearm with her hand and turned to look at Ruhak.

As expected, the culprit was Ruhak. Just as he flicked his hand, Ruhak was looking up into space with a fierce gaze.

“Ruhak, don’t do it. “Why are you doing this?”

As soon as Sehyeon grabbed Ruhak’s arm, the acrid smoke disappeared without a trace, as if someone had erased it. In the air, there was only Billwill, who looked the same as before.

Even the fluttering tailcoat was the same. When the hem of her dress, fluttering in the wind, sat down neatly, Billwill’s feet were slightly touching the ground.

[You are a scary person. I may have committed many sins, but that doesn’t mean I would do something like this.]

“I just treated him appropriately. “I think even this is too much.”

A smile appeared in Ruhak’s cold words. Sehyeon quickly blocked Ruhak’s path, fearing that his condition would worsen. Then he pushed back, widening the distance as much as possible.

When we were about three steps away, we heard quiet words coming from Billwill, who had been silent.

[It’s been a while since I saw you.]

It was a greeting that felt like a wait. Sehyeon narrowed her steps and approached Billwill. About two steps. Sehyun greeted him face to face, keeping his pace steady.

“Yes, I thought I would get caught and never see you again.”

It was a deep statement, but it was also a question at the same time. Did she know about what happened there that day, or why did she pretend not to know?

It’s different now, but Sehyun used to think of this place as a neutral zone. He was certain that it was the only space free of player conflict, and he believed it to be so.

That’s why I was more complacent, and that’s why I was more careless.

However, on the day that he was taken away by Park Seung-gun, Bill Will just watched the whole situation unfold. Seeing Bill Will’s face not even visible, Sehyeon wondered if there was some rule that prevented him from ‘interfering’ with the players.

So I was curious. Indeed, if there is such a discipline, his duty is merely to give information. Is the guide just a bystander?

[I am only a guide and cannot interfere with disputes between players. Even if it is possible to interfere, it is only possible if an appropriate price is paid. So, please refrain from misunderstanding.]

“It’s not like I wasn’t worth the price? Or, I guess you thought you would survive somehow?”

[I have a duty to respect all players. At a time when the distinction between good and evil is unclear, I would like to inform you that I have no justification for helping either side.]

“Then what about the barrier? “Does the barrier between good and evil seem ambiguous to you?”

[Please note that there is no obligation to answer that part.]

“Then you can at least manage it well, or you say you’re a manager but you can’t manage it either? I thought I would just watch until the barrier was broken. “But what if I quickly conquer the tower?”

[…] I’m not an administrator… .]

“I’m not finished talking yet, Mr. Billwill.”

[…] … .]

Bill Will closed his mouth with a quite aggrieved expression. Sehyun’s words continued for a long time after that. And when her long interrogative speech was over, Billwill was finally able to open her mouth. It was like an excuse.

[I am just a helpless guide. Also, I can only interfere with a small part of everything that happens in Elix. For example, it provides answers to questions.]

“So you interfered by manipulating my trustworthiness check?”

[I fully explain that it was unavoidable… .]

“So you just watched while the barrier developed like that?”

[…] Wouldn’t it be better if you just tell me what you want?]

“You know I don’t have the right to ask questions, right? “Thanks to someone who took two away.”

Bill Will’s eyes turned to Kim Gap-jun, who was awkwardly standing with his back to him. If you were going to say something like that, why did you bring this person? This made it clear. The fact that you can use other people’s right to ask questions and receive answers.

Now that I have received confirmation, I have nothing to worry about. Sehyeon immediately opened his mouth.

“At that time, Mr. Billwill clearly mentioned that he could have interfered with me earlier, but he also stated that he had no obligation to answer about this. “She wants an answer to that.”

Among the questions that Se-hyeon previously asked Bill Will using his right to question, there was also a question about the ‘timing’ of the intervention. Bill Will did not answer the question of why he only interfered with Sehyun when he was over the 80th floor.

【”Then why didn’t you do it sooner? I should have done it sooner. “You are the ones who gave it time for this to happen.”

[I will remain silent on that part. Please note that there is no obligation to respond.]】

The words exchanged at that time were like that. He implied that he didn’t do it even though he could have done it early enough. Sehyun wanted an answer to this. The reason why Bill Will had to intervene late.

“Why did you interfere with me only after we reached the 80th floor, even though you could have interfered earlier?”
