Episode 35
A 13-13 confrontation.
The message from the tower made us all nervous.
There was nothing we could know about who the other people were or what their intentions were.
However, I just wanted to avoid killing each other like Top wanted.
I didn’t want to fall into the temptation of compensation and do something that would erode my spirit.
“Let’s reach an agreement right here.”
I took a step forward and spoke.
There was no need to say anything.
Because they too will know what I mean.
The key point here is trust and distrust.
They had no reason to trust us or to distrust us.
That’s the same for us too.
“We still can’t trust you!”
A very obvious answer came back.
Fortunately, it doesn’t look like they’ll go to war right away.
But at that moment, something damn happened right in the corner of my eye.
Son Seo-yeon pointed the gun toward the other party.
“hey! You crazy bitch. Put the gun down!”
I quickly stopped Son Seo-yeon, but she had no way to hear me.
In response to Son Seo-yeon’s actions, the opponents simultaneously took out their weapons.
An imminent situation.
Among them, there were also players with ranged weapons.
“Are we going to negotiate like that?”
Choi Sang Doo.
The highest level player on the other side shouted in our direction.
Considering that his occupation is a commander, the author is most likely the leader of this group.
Thanks to Son Seo-yeon, I now have nothing to say even when I hear this.
And at that moment, the tower’s message was delivered.
[We’ve been keeping you in the lobby for too long.]
[I will go to the hotel room right now. First of all, it is one room per person.]
“what?”
“What do you mean, a guest room out of nowhere!”
The background changed in an instant along with an incomprehensible message.
The 13 opponents and 12 colleagues who had been confronting each other until now were no longer there.
There isn’t even a Kansu.
As soon as the whereabouts of Kansu were questioned, wise man Sang Tae-chang delivered a message.
[Information: Your pet stays in the lobby, and you can summon it whenever you want.]
It was something like that.
Fortunately, my worries about Kansu ended up being unfounded.
As the message says, the place where I am standing is a hotel room.
The suite had a luxurious feel, but that wasn’t important right now.
I quickly turned on the minimap.
5-story building.
There were six rooms per floor, and the room I was in right now was room 303.
Other players are also staying in their own rooms.
Before we could reach an agreement, this damned tower separated us.
[Are you having a comfortable time in your own room? Unfortunately, it is time for players who received this message to move rooms.]
[Time limit: 10 seconds. If you don’t move to another room by the timer, you die.]
crazy! How long has it been since I came here?
The tower’s message became increasingly vicious.
Since there was a time limit, I had no choice but to listen.
[10 seconds]
[9 seconds]
[8 seconds]
…I skipped room 304, which was empty, and headed to room 305.
According to the mini-map, that is the room where Choi Sang-doo, who appears to be the leader of the opposing team, is located.
There was at least some luck in this damn situation.
Perhaps it is the harmony created by Nike’s ring.
“I see you again!”
I opened the guest room door and shouted.
Choi Sang-doo lifted the ax he was holding in his hand.
“He’s the guy who suggested negotiation earlier.”
“Isn’t it a bit rude to speak informally when you first meet someone?”
“Just by looking at me, don’t I look twenty years older?”
Although he had a sturdy physique, his age was definitely that of the manager.
The M-shaped hair loss was already complete.
“great. “For now, let me be respectful.”

I put the Indomitable Sword in my inventory and let them know that I was not here to fight.
Choi Sang-doo also took a step back when he saw me like that and lowered the ax he had raised.
“First, let’s talk about negotiations again in this room. Choi Sang-doo, it seems like you are the leader there.”
“You must have a good eye for recognition right away.”
It was like that too.
My occupation is Commander and I also have the skill of domination, so I thought it would be natural.
What is noteworthy is that, in addition to domination, it has one more skill.
“Then it will be easy to talk about.”
“But Hoyoung Lee, you don’t seem to be good enough to be called the leader of that group?”
I know the reason for this reaction.
“It seems like my level is bothering you.”
“To be honest, yes.”
At this point, single-digit levels are impossible unless you are a decent advisor.
That’s probably how I’m viewed right now.
If so, there is one way.
Nothing more than a glimpse of my abilities.
There is not enough time. Because I don’t know what’s going on in the other room right now.
“Then excuse me for a moment.”
“what?”
Quaaaaaaaaa!
I slammed my fist on the table in front of me.
Whoops!
The table was split in half with a crack in the center.
The table lost its balance and collapsed, opening a path between me and Choi Sang-doo.
Even though I think it was a bit childish, the visual effects were solid.
Choi Sang-doo chuckled when he saw me like that.
“I enjoyed the show of strength. I was really surprised. “I don’t think I can reach that level.”
“Because of my strength, I have quite a bit of say in our group.”
“I’ll be honest. I had some idea of your influence. “That is something that can be felt in the atmosphere.”
I don’t know if this reaction was bravado or sincerity, but it didn’t really matter.
What is important to me is to lead the negotiation in the direction I want.
Depending on his reaction, I plan to threaten him.
“I’ll tell you straight. Please give orders to your entire group to avoid any conflict.”
“You are talking nonsense. “We are all scattered.”
“Choi Sang-du. Don’t you have an interesting skill? “Telepathy.”
At that moment, Choi Sang-doo’s face, which had a solemn expression, trembled slightly.
Still, it’s great that he maintains this level of poker face.
Just looking at the image he gives off, it feels like he was a military general outside the tower.
“How did you do that!”
“I also have a strange ability. “Like you.”
I took a step towards Choi Sang-doo.
And then he continued.
“To be honest, I want it. “Your telepathic skills.”
“what?”
“You never know. If I kill you here, it will be mine.”
“You’re telling a funny joke.”
“Let’s not waste time. “If the conversation goes on any longer, I will assume you want war.”
“What are you going to do if you don’t like my decision?”
“It can’t be helped. “Your group has no choice but to be exterminated for having the wrong leader.”
Although not entirely, it did contain some sincerity.
If anyone in our group dies, I plan to take revenge thoroughly.
I took one step closer to the top.
Choi Sang-doo laughed heartily as he saw me approaching.
“You’re labeling me as a strange person. “I am also a pacifist.”
“Well, tell everyone in your group right now. “There is no war between our two groups.”
“good. Accept it for now. But it’s conditional. “Because our group can’t trust you yet.”
Choi Sang-doo immediately sent a telepathy message to his entire group.
Since the leaders have reached an agreement, they will wait without taking any action for now.
Of course, he also left a clue.
Be prepared to change your stance at any time.
Honestly, I want that skill.
“By the way, there’s a girl in your group with a gun. She looks quite dangerous. Do you mind? Honestly, I thought she would be her leader.”
It’s a reasonable guess.
Son Seo-yeon is the highest level player among us.
“He’s just an outcast. And in our group, there is actually no leader. “Because we have been living democratically ever since the first floor.”
“From the first floor?”
Choi Sang-doo reacted in surprise to my words.
The reason for this reaction can be roughly guessed.
Other groups would have lost many colleagues on each floor and continued to combine with new groups.
It’s just that our group’s survival rate is deceptively high.
“I can’t believe it! “Your group has been connected since the first floor?”
“Our top priority has been everyone’s survival rather than growth.”
“amazing.”
“And because I am not a leader like you, I cannot completely control Son Seo-yeon. “If that crazy bitch of hers causes her accident, I promise we’ll attack her too.”
Son Seo-yeon is our only Achilles heel.
Therefore, I have made a definite promise.
“Considering such anxiety factors, this negotiation is too unfavorable for us.”
“It can’t be helped. “Because I’m tightening your leash.”
“ha ha ha. Are you taking my leash? You are so confident. Even though the level is low.”
Choi Sang-doo tried to show his confidence in dealing with me, but he must have sensed it because he is a quick-witted person.
The level I’m displaying is completely meaningless.
[Time has passed. Players who receive this message are asked to move rooms immediately.]
[The maximum number of people per room is 2, and once you enter, you cannot enter the room again. Again, the time limit is 10 seconds.]
It would be best for me to continue to be with Choi Sang-doo, but now we have no choice but to break up.
I can only hope that the current state of equilibrium continues to be maintained.
* * *
Currently, I was alone in room 403.
There are 26 points confirmed on the minimap.
Everyone was still safe.
The telepathy sent by Choi Sang-doo was clearly effective.
Not only Choi Sang-doo’s group members, but also my colleagues next to him would have heard it.
The problem is Son Seo-yeon.
There is no telling what will happen the moment she is in the same room as Choi Sang-doo’s group member.
Currently, I am on the 4th floor and she is on the 5th floor, so we may be able to meet in person next time or the next time.
I just hope that no accidents happen until then.
But is it possible to open this door and go out now?
I turned the doorknob of the entrance door.
[You cannot leave now.]
also.
There is no choice but to wait for the next mobile message.
All I can do now is keep an eye on the minimap and figure out the situation.
When all my worries were directed towards Son Seo-yeon, an accident occurred in an unexpected place.
Looking at the mini-map, one of the two dots in the room next to me had disappeared.
The other person left in the room was Kim Se-yong.
“Could it be Kim Se-yong?!”
And at that moment, I heard a message.
[Players who hear this message should move rooms immediately.]
[Time limit: 10 seconds]
If a death occurs, will someone have to move rooms?
Anyway, my next destination is clear.
Before Son Seo-yeon, we have to meet Kim Se-yong first.
Since Kim Se-yong was staying in his current room, I immediately opened the door.
I immediately saw Kim Se-yong standing in front of the collapsed corpse.
“Kim Se-yong, is that really you?”
“brother!”
“You crazy bastard! “The negotiation was immediately broken because of you!”
“I wasn’t the one who broke the deal! A voice was suddenly heard in the air. “Attack us immediately!”
“what?”
Choi Sang-doo changed his mind right after he broke up with me?
It was incomprehensible, but it didn’t seem like Kim Se-yong was lying.
“Really! brother! “You don’t trust me?”
If what Kim Se-yong said is true, there is a possibility that a fight is taking place in another room.
I immediately looked at the minimap.
Sure enough, this time an accident occurred in the room where Son Seo-yeon was.
Son Seo-yeon killed one person.
And at that moment, the wise man’s status window sent me a message.
It is a piece of content that is unclear as to what it is trying to convey.
[Information: Salseong has special
It refers to the skill
I knew the name of the skill, but I didn’t know what function it had.
But why does the Sage’s status window suddenly show this information?
At that moment, a scene passes through my mind.
The scene where Son Seo-yeon suddenly pointed the gun at Choi Sang-doo’s group.
“no way!”
Son Seo-yeon saw something through
“Choi Sang-doo’s murder tracks?”
I felt like I knew something.
Now it feels like the puzzle is finally coming together.
