Chapter 392
Episode 392: A strange voice
What did he just say?
Oh, Baek Beom-jin introduced himself. Moreover, he reacted favorably to me.
“You’re famous, you’re not.”
I looked at Baek Beom-jin with moderately pretentious humility.
Hair so white that you wonder if it’s artificial.
A gloomy appearance where dignity, elegance, and darkness coexist, reminiscent of Rembrandt’s style.
A plain, neutral-colored suit that seems frugal considering his wealth. A silver staff with a strange design supporting the left half of his body.
It looks exactly the same as the one seen in [Cthulhu World].
‘Looks the same?’
No, is there something strange?
Baek Beom-jin’s age according to the game’s setting is 39 years old.
A little too old to be young, but too young to be middle-aged.
However, Baek Beom-jin, who actually existed in front of me, looked like an old man so decrepit that it was hard to believe he was that age, and at the same time, he looked like a strangely young boy.
As I am thinking this way, I am not confident in expressing his appearance any more clearly.
What is clear is that he gives off an atmosphere so alien that it is hard to believe that he is a ‘human being’ like me.
“I’ve killed someone before.”
Gong Yi-soo’s words suddenly come to mind.
Gong Yi-su has been a dinner offering since he was in his early teens, right?
One of the people who threatened him as his antagonist at the time was Baek Beom-jin, the owner of Helistic, and he had to face death several times because of this person.
In other words, it is a story about a maniac who does his best to fight even against children.
‘Well, I know that Baek Beom-jin is a crazy bastard without having to bring up Gong Yi-soo’s experience.’
Beomjin Baek is one of the villains that make up the end content of the game [Cthulhu World].
But in a sense, Baek Beom-jin and I have no relationship ‘yet’.
What should I say to him like that?
“What were you looking at?”
This is one of the dialogue options that the player of [Cthulhu World] can say to the target in this situation.
If it were like in the game, Baek Beom-jin would now answer like this.
“I was looking at those attractive siblings.”
Exactly the answer I expected.
‘What the hell.’
But there is a problem.
That voice.
An unpleasant voice that feels like a transparent finger is piercing your temple and scratching your brain.
It feels like a voice that has penetrated into the back of your brain is trying to push your eyeballs out while trying to find a way out.
Just hearing Baek Beom-jin’s voice makes me want to vomit.
How on earth can I make a voice like this?
“Look over there, don’t they all have very ideal looks?”
“… … .”
I could barely, just barely, turn my head to follow Baek Beom-jin’s gaze.
The main content of this extravagant banquet would be the Moon siblings, who look as if they were made by rubbing gold with silk.
“Hmm, nice to meet you.”
“Hahaha, thank you.”
“Ah, such a precious person.”
“Let me tell you an amazing story.”
The 12 Moon siblings, excluding Moon Seung-hee, compete with each other for their handsomeness and beauty throughout the banquet hall.
Oh, no.
They are competing for their social influence.
Baek Beom-jin, who was looking at that scene, smiled like a mischievous boy with a mix of innocence and cunning and whispered.
“It was a difficult task, but it’s very satisfying to see everyone grow up like that.”
Goosebumps run down my spine.
The setting itself is not surprising because I already know it.
The discomfort and rejection I feel. And this sense of heterogeneity comes solely from Baek Beom-jin.
I want to scream at them not to come closer and activate an attack spell. I want to destroy all the plans I had prepared and kill Baek Beom-jin right away. We need to get rid of him right now.
Before I could do anything, Baek Beom-jin bowed slightly and said.
“What about Moon Gyeong-nam?”
“I killed it.”
Baek Beom-jin takes his eyes off the Moon siblings and looks at me.
‘Then I see that you aren’t blinking.’
Although they adjust the placement of their facial muscles and features to create several facial expressions – they lack the basic reflexes that humans are expected to perform.
But even that is just one of the many elements that make up his sense of heterogeneity.
It’s like I’m looking at a ‘mask’ that works in some bizarre way.
“What did you do with the body?”
Oh, damn it. shut up.
I want to hold my head. I don’t want to hear that voice. I feel like crying. I want to scream. I want to stop thinking. dizzy. sick. sick. it hurts. it hurts… … .
“I threw it away.”
What’s coming out of my mouth?

Everything in the world appears blurry and vague, like a movie shown on a screen far away.
Baek Beom-jin, who exists too clearly in that unrealistic world.
“Answer me again. “This time, I thought about what my intention was with my question.”
Baek Beom-jin is looking at me with those unblinking eyes. Those grotesque glass-like eyes are reflecting my face wearing a mask.
I must grant his wish. Answer the questions. Answer the questions. Answer the questions.
What did he intend to ask?
“Ooh, Ulsan Rock, it’s below. Because of the high margin, it is impossible to collect the raw fish… … .”
“It’s a good thing I prepared a spare.”
Baek Beom-jin’s gaze towards Moon Seung-hee.
[System: ‘Abyss Madness’ activates. The confusion in your mind dissipates.]
Phrases-
A irritating noise made by sparks jumping from the temples.
The soft music and people’s voices stop, and all eyes in the banquet hall turn to me.
This is a difficult situation. But that’s not the problem now.
“Damn, what did you just do to me?”
“I was just asking a question.”
Baek Beom-jin answers slowly, with the expression of a gentle old man.
A voice mixed with horribly horrifying kindness flowing from his mouth.
Anger that rises to the point where it burns out one’s judgment. The shame and humiliation that comes later. Horsepower starting to move in an aggressive manner.
At the same time-
[System: The ‘Enhanced Vigilance’ attribute is activated.]
This is a banquet hall where powerful people gather, wearing expensive precious metals and flashy luxury items like a medieval ballroom ball.
In order to be consumed as accessories, superhumans from all walks of life and famous people with special abilities also participated as bodyguards or guests.
People with superpowers rush in at once and surround me.
“Are you Kim Shin-hwa?”
“They say he’s a high-ranking wizard, but he seems really crazy.”
“Don’t move any more.”
“Even if you are a wizard, you can’t deal with these people in this distance.”
Although they are usually bare-handed or holding objects that are not considered weapons, the warnings they send are beyond the level of a joke.
I’m not in a good mood to deal with this situation gracefully. Anyway, I am in a game with a high degree of freedom.
I could choose to become an outlaw, killing everyone who gets in my way and running away… … .
“Ugh! sorry!”
A small girl came out of nowhere and got between me and the people with special abilities.
“Our CEO was extremely insulting, rude, and grotesque, so Kim… … . No, it looks like this customer was angry! Everyone, please forgive our representative’s misbehavior!”
Height shorter than the curtain call.
A young face and voice that looks like someone in their early teens.
This is Geumwol, one of Helistic’s executives. He was one of the people who happened to get caught up in the pasta incident last time.
“Guest? I’m really sorry. We’ve collaborated together before, right? “Please forgive me just once, right?”
You owe me something, right? Geumwol has an expression that seems to say, “Pay back now.”
“The CEO will also apologize. Yes? CEO?”
This time she looked at Baek Beom-jin with an expression like, ‘Hey, you too, speak quickly!’
Baek Beom-jin looked around Geumwol, me, and the surroundings for a moment… … . Take a moment to look at a certain point in the banquet hall. It may not be visible to others, but I can see it.
Over there is Moon Tae-ik, the chairman of Yonam Group.
Baek Beom-jin, perhaps wondering what kind of signal Moon Tae-ik was sending, nodded slightly and turned to me – and at the same time spoke in a voice loud enough for everyone else to hear.
“I think I spoke a little hastily because I wanted to get to know you. Surely she didn’t know something like that happened in her childhood. “Please forgive me for not being properly considerate.”
Damn, he’s taking advantage of the fact that other people couldn’t hear the conversation, so he’s just saying random things.
Because [Space Mastery] and [Improved Vigilance] were activated at the same time, I was able to check everyone’s expressions at the same time and realized that Baek Beom-jin’s voice sounded unpleasant only to me.
‘No, it’s not that bad.’
People are very attracted to Baek Beom-jin’s voice.
An ability that seems to be an extreme enhancement of the characteristics of a used car conman named Armor that I met the other day.
Baek Beom-jin immediately held out the hand that was not holding the cane with a playful expression.
“Tsk-”
For a moment, I didn’t understand the meaning of the gesture and almost threw a spell at him, but-
“no. It was my fault for being overly sensitive. Thank you so much for your generous words.”
This is not what I said.
‘mythology. calm down! ‘Why are you so agitated?’
[Crow], one of the other personalities mixed up inside me, came out and spoke on my behalf.
‘Stupid guy. ‘Get your mind straight.’
[Fox] even jumps out and joins in.
shit.
How distracted are you?
It’s a problem that didn’t occur even in that embarrassing moment when he was fighting with Gong Yi-soo.
In the end, Baek Beom-jin and I made a movement that others would recognize as a ‘handshake’.
“Thank you.”
Baek Beom-jin, who said that, came a little closer and whispered while holding my hand.
“It looks like the host of the banquet is uncomfortable, so I’ll just leave.”
“… … “Of course.”
“And you knew that you needed to be more prepared when you met me, right?”
As Baek Beom-jin said that, he gestured with his chin and pointed at his staff.
Unlike a handshake, this was an action whose intention could be easily understood, and I was easily able to give an appropriate response.
“I’ll bring it with me.”
“Thank goodness. “Then let’s meet again in a nicer place.”
Immediately after Baek Beom-jin finished shaking my hand, he asked Moon Kyung-ha for a brief understanding and left the banquet hall with Geum Wol.
That’s a good thing.
His presence only interferes with today’s events.
* * *
Oh, this is the worst.
“You crazy bastard. I thought it was going to be an accident. “I couldn’t even understand the situation, tsk tsk.”
I never thought I would hear something like this from Curtain Call, not just anyone else.
But I have nothing to say.
Because I actually almost lost my composure and caused trouble. Because I had complicated feelings in many ways, I silently accepted the curtain call’s criticism without saying anything.
“What did that monster say?”
At least Baek Beom-jin’s ability doesn’t seem to have reached Curtain Call.
“Baek Beom-jin had a sword that matched the sword I had.”
“They become a pair? What pair?”
The uniquely designed cane that Baek Beom-jin was holding was the Sainchamsageom (四寅斬邪劍).
A sword made with the energy of a spiritual tiger to cut down evil beings.
An object that has the opposite power to the Sain True Sword (四寅斬正劍) that I have – and did not bring with me today -.
“You saw my knife before, right?”
“That skewer? “Was it important?”
Curtain Call’s criteria for choosing a weapon are clear. He should be able to convert his monstrous strength and speed into destructive power.
The sine true sword, which is more like a magic auxiliary tool, would be a trivial item for Curtain Call.
“… … “It is an important item for anyone who can use even a little bit of magic or magic.”
“joy. Anyway, come to your senses. “I will protect the old people, but I am not omnipotent.”
That’s what I said to Seunghee Moon.
“Damn it, stop teasing me… … .”
“Coli, Kim Shin-hwa, look over there. “Do something.”
Baukalak, who was fidgeting, hurriedly intervened and pointed toward the center of the banquet hall.
I already know that the atmosphere has changed. People have suddenly stopped talking and are looking to one side.
“The Chairman is coming.”
An elderly man in a mechanical wheelchair equipped with IV fluid and breathing assistance equipment is entering the banquet hall.
This is Chairman Moon Tae-ik.
The slaughter will soon begin.
