It was obviously watching us.
Are you the guy who threw the peach?
He stood up with his sword in his hand, but soon his gaze disappeared.
【Hey, is that the culprit over there?】
【Go and chase after me, Kangrim!】
But the sound had already disappeared.
At first glance, it seemed like it had a human form, but it seemed like it was intentional.
Are you tempting me?
I looked back at the three sleeping people.
You never know what might happen while you’re away.
Judging by the number of peaches sprinkled on them, it was clear that these were the people they were after.
I sat down on the floor again, holding the sword.
I have no choice but to go back as soon as the sun rises.
The night felt long tonight.
Only the bonfire burned quietly, guarding the spot next to me.

[Number of Soul Jade Obtained: 722/1000]
One of the cows was brutally cut down and fell to the ground.
Dokgo Jun wiped the blood from his face and looked down at the corpses with an indifferent gaze.
Dozens of corpses were strewn everywhere.
Both hands and the sword were soaked with blood, and the floor was no longer its original color.
‘It’s not fun.’
He walked through the forest with a carefree expression.
The number of spirit jade obtained was over 700, so now I only needed to catch about 30 more to successfully complete the attack.
But the truth was that it didn’t give Dokgo Jun any joy.
‘The plot is so crappy.’
He entered the inspector’s room and continued hunting, but he felt terribly bored.
‘There are no rivals, no colleagues, no enemies. There are no heroines. I’m just catching ordinary devils.’
When I heard the voice of God from the sky, I was a little excited, but even that cooled down.
There wasn’t a god that I particularly liked, and they all seemed pretty similar.
‘What is my role? And what about Seo Kang-rim?’
It was one of the thoughts that had been bothering Dokgo Jun lately.
At first, I thought Seo Kang-rim would be another main character, or maybe a colleague.
However, Seo Kang-rim was defeated by Cheon Gu-nam in just the second room.
‘I had high expectations for Cheon Gu-nam… … .’
Cheon Gu-nam was so weak.
I guessed that he was either the type that hid his power or the type that was a schemer, but he didn’t seem to be either.
No matter how you looked at it, Cheon Gu-nam, who was hanging on to Han Bing’s room, was an ordinary person, nothing more, nothing less.
I was hoping that he would return safely, but in the end he never did.
‘Seo Kang-rim seems more like the main character. Judging from the clumsy mistakes he made, he doesn’t seem like a regressor… … .’
While he was walking forward with that thought in his mind, Dokgo Jun stopped.
A small bonfire was burning by the river.
All the people gathered there had familiar faces.
‘There’s Shin Soo-ah too.’
Seeing that the twin siblings had also joined, it seemed like they had already formed an alliance of their own.
Dokgo Jun looked around.
‘Isn’t there a Seo Kang-rim?’
Seo Kang-rim was not visible.
It was quite a shame, but Shin Soo-ah was also a major character.
Dokgo Jun hid nearby for a moment and observed them.
‘If I stay nearby, won’t something interesting happen?’
As if responding to Dokgo Jun’s expectations, as the night deepened, someone quietly revealed himself.
The opponent was holding a handful of peaches.
Dokgo Jun was looking at the sight with interest.
‘I see you have such a talent. And that peach… … .’
As soon as the opponent laid out all the peaches and disappeared, the bush bears soon appeared and began to surround the campfire.
And soon after, Seo Kang-rim ran in and started slaughtering the demons.
While watching that scene, the corners of Dokgo Jun’s mouth began to rise.
‘He looks just like the main character.’
Appears when the heroine is in danger and defeats the demons.
He points a knife at the heroine in the middle, but she understands it.
Even after protecting everyone, he stands guard alone.
I heard that they also rescued a person who was lost in Han Bing’s room.
‘A good-natured protagonist is not that great, but there’s no way a person like this could be just a supporting actor or an extra.’
It was very disappointing when Seo Kang-rim came out of Hwa-tang’s room in a mess.
It was also a shame that I cleared halfway through Han Bing’s room.
‘But what if it was all planned?’

While Dokgo Jun was thinking, Seo Kang-rim was seen getting up from her seat.
Looking this way, it seemed like he had noticed my presence.
‘Did you notice? Even that aspect is like that of the main character.’
On the contrary, I would have been disappointed if I had just sat there dumbly.
As Dokgo Jun walked away without making a sound, Seo Kang-rim also sat down.
Only after moving far away did Dokgo Jun get up from his seat.
‘Okay. I’ll just watch a little longer.’
Two eyes were gleaming between the blood-covered face.
Dokgo Jun disappeared into the dark forest with a happy expression on his face.
* * *
Seo Kang-rim was holding a magic sword in the middle of the forest.
Compared to the first day, many more places were marked on the map.
About 1/3, I guess.
Seo Kang-rim was sitting on a rock, staring intently at the Magyeongdo when he heard the gods chattering.
【What is Kangrim doing?】
【Aren’t you going hunting? You’ve only collected 200 spirits.】
【Why do you keep looking at the map?】
【Hey, maps are my specialty. Let’s go to Shinnaerim.】
Seo Kang-rim looked up at the sky once.
“You didn’t even tell me who threw the magic peach.”
【Ahem, ahem, ahem.】
【Oh, that’s why we didn’t see it either.】
【If you saw it, you should have told me!】
Seo Kang-rim was about to criticize the gods for not being able to see such things, but he turned his gaze back to the map.
‘There must be weapons in this forest.’
Seo Kang-rim’s most important goal is weapons.
I knew there was a weapon somewhere in this forest.
The problem is that you don’t know exactly where it is.
【But what are you looking for?】
【Can we help you?】
【Could it be… … that you’re looking for ‘that’?!】
【What is it?】
【It’s a secret.】
If you ask for help from the local god of the land, the ‘Guardian of the Inspectorate’, you should be able to find it easily.
However, Seo Kang-rim decided not to receive help.
If you get into debt for no reason, you never know what will happen to you later.
Because gods are greedy and selfish like humans, rather than being generous and gentle.
【’The Master of All Fires’ used the item ‘Traces of the Divine’.】
【Highlighted messages will be activated for 10 minutes】
【The ‘Lord of All Fires’ shouts that he has arrived.】
【The ‘Lord of All Fires’ is jumping around today to claim his divine power.】
Agni was sending messages enthusiastically today as well.
Seo Kang-rim was not answering.
‘I don’t know what it is that you like so much that you keep chasing after it.’
If Agni was a decent god, it would be easy to find another vessel.
I couldn’t figure out why he was being chased like this.
Seo Kang-rim glanced up at the sky and asked.
“Why are you chasing me like that?”
【The ‘Lord of All Fires’ said he liked Seo Kang-rim’s flames.】
【The ‘Lord of All Fires’ says he will help Seo Kang-rim grow even more.】
It seemed like he liked Seo Kang-rim’s ability, ‘Gwangyeom Iljang’.
While I was listening to the words of God with one ear, I heard a voice from far away.
‘Shin Soo-ah and… who are they?’
The voices of several people, including Shin Soo-ah, were being heard.
It was a little loud so I couldn’t make out the exact details, but it felt like a fight was brewing.
【Wow, why are they like that?】
【Why? Did you fight?】
【Oh~ It’s so scary~】
【The best part about watching a fight is watching a fight.】
【Hey, bring me the radish!】
Seo Kang-rim hurriedly followed the sound and found Shin Soo-ah and the people from District 4 there.
The person at the forefront of District 4 is Joo Hye-ryeong.
The last time I saw him, he had a friendly smile on his face, but now his expression was not good.
She was clearly hostile to Shin Soo Ah.
Then, Joo Hye-ryeong found Seo Kang-rim and spoke in a cold voice.
“We meet again like this.”
“What’s going on?”
There were some faces I was meeting for the first time, but judging by the atmosphere, they seemed to be from District 4.
Everyone was standing there with their heads down, looking at Seo Kang-rim as if he were a demon.
Joo Hye-ryeong said with a stern face.
“Where is your door?”
“yes?”
“I asked where the door to your area number 2 is.”
The person who was treating me last time is now threatening me.
As if the person had suddenly changed.
However, Seo Kang-rim was not the one who was afraid of him, and neither was Shin Soo-ah.
“Do you think I would tell you something like that?”
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll have to knock you out with force.”
Joo Hye-ryeong said, gripping her sword tightly.
Even the gods were disturbed by this situation.
【Wow, they’re finally fighting.】
【Hey, but why are you fighting? You should talk before you fight.】
【What does the reason matter? Just kill them all!】
As Seo Kang-rim glared at Joo Hye-ryeong, Nam Yu-jun, who was standing next to her, opened his mouth.
He seemed quite embarrassed.
“Hye-ryeong, I think it’s best to stop this. There’s no evidence that the people in District 2 are the culprits… … .”
“Does that mean there’s a murderer in our area?”
“That’s not it. There might be some demons among the demons that use weapons like humans.”
Hearing that story, Shin Soo-ah and the rest of the group looked surprised.
A murderer.
However, Seo Kang-rim listened to the story with calm eyes.
‘It looks like the killer has finally started his activities.’
He glanced at Shin Soo Ah’s face.
Her eyes were shining sharply.
Shin Soo-ah listened to the two people’s story silently and then asked.
“Has the killer appeared? Please explain what is going on.”
Joo Hye-ryeong carefully examined Shin Soo-ah’s face while aiming her sword, then put her weapon away.
As she gave the signal, the rest of the people also stepped back.
Nam Yu-jun said as if he was sorry.
“You must have been very surprised. I’m sorry. On our side… … . we found a dead person.”
“I guess that’s not the devil.”
“There were stab wounds on the body. But, there might be a demon among you who uses a knife!”
At those words, Joo Hye-ryeong let out a breath as if laughing.
She looked at Nam Yu-jun and said.
“Yoojun-ah. Aren’t you too kind? No matter how I look at it, this is something that a person killed.”
“But, but… … .”
“The spirit jade that the dead people had is all gone. Since there is no one in our district who would commit murder, it must have been the work of the other district.”
In the previous life, a murder occurred and friction between different districts became severe.
Joo Hye-ryeong also had her eyes wide open and was suspicious of other areas, but it was impossible to find them even if she tried.
‘The killer was someone from District 4 after all.’
