Episode 552 Will you show your reaction?
Night has come.
For some, it was a moment they absolutely wanted to avoid, and for others, it was a time to wake up their bodies that had been holding their breath.
Of course, I was the latter.
Because in the first place, you could act freely at any time.
“There’s no wind today.”
“Yeah.”
Usually, a gentle breeze would blow continuously. It was as if it wanted to hide the scent of blood that would soon bloom.
I don’t know what will happen though.
‘Because many people will die today.’
I don’t know who it is. Whether it’s the night affiliation or the day affiliation, they’ll show different movements starting today.
If there’s one thing I wish for, it’s that neither I nor the Magma Fairy or Pahar will die?
As I was diving into the most dangerous thing, I had no idea what would happen.
“I guess I should start moving slowly.”
The operation commenced five hours before dawn. I went out early and took my place.
The ones who are at the forefront are Magma Fairy and Pahar. I have other things to do.
I waited for my time, hiding in the most deserted place. It was a boring time, but I had to be on my toes at the same time.
Time passed slowly and I became numb to the stimuli coming from my surroundings, but I concentrated.
I’ve already developed a lot of patience. It’s not hard to crouch and wait for an opportunity. If you go wild without thinking, the first place you’ll die is the tower.
“It has begun.”
His eyes lit up. He could see lights in the distance.
A light that would normally not be visible. It meant only one thing. It meant that the Magma Fairy and Pahar had begun their operation.
Go outside and light a fire. In a village where people hide themselves without even lighting candles, the fire, which is no different from a campfire, is like a lighthouse.
A landmark that can be clearly seen even from the farthest distance. A signal that those who belong to the night cannot help but come looking for, even if only out of curiosity.
This alone is a success for step one, since the two of you went outside to make a campfire.
Those who belong to the day will reveal their affiliation if they go out of their hiding place at night. If the two affiliations were different, they would not light a fire but would point their weapons at each other.
That is, it was clear that both of them belonged to the daytime.
“They’ll know it’s bait. Let’s see how many confident guys there are.”
I feel eyes on me from all over the place.
It’s not directed at me. It’s the gaze directed at the burning lights in the middle of the night.
Not only the night crew members who had gone out, but also the day crew members who had been nervously guarding the outside would have sensed the other side by now.
Not everyone, but there were quite a few of them. That’s because they were very interested in what would happen.
Start slowly.
There was nothing special going on, as if he was checking the liver or trying to figure out the situation. At least that was the case until about an hour had passed.
It won’t be easy. It’s so suspicious that it’s obvious there’s a trap. At the same time, you’ll probably see the magma fairy.

‘You need at least 4 people to catch the magma fairy.’
This is my objective judgment.
At the very least, it would take a lot more people to catch the magma fairy without taking any damage.
That guy alone would be like that, but what about Pahar? He may not be as good as the Magma Fairy in a direct confrontation, but he is a skilled assassin.
The more premarital relations there were, the more difficult the subject became, and the more dangerous the cooperation between the two was.
But still, they couldn’t stay still.
-Kurururururuk!
-Kwaaaaaaaah!
Because this was a clear provocation.
If you’re going to come, come. We’re here. If you can’t do anything about us, the night won’t be scary anymore.
Those who belong to the day will join forces and appear at night to identify each other, just as you did at night.
These two who had rushed in without thinking lost their lives in an instant. The lava that sprang up from the ground melted their entire bodies, and the guy whose neck was pierced by Pahar’s awl that moved quickly fell to the ground, spitting out something.
This is the beginning.
-Ahhhhhhhhhh!
-Get rid of it!
Their noise spread like an echo.
I think they did it right, so now it’s my turn to step up.
Pfft!
I quickly kicked the ground. There are a few places I’ve caught.
* * *
Midnight. Normally, it would be a time when everyone would be quietly hiding, but today was different.
“Wow. I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I’ve seen that strategy.”
“Strategy? To me, it just seems crazy?”
“That’s true. You’ve been assigned to the 91st floor for at most 40 years.”
Two NPCs sitting on the wall are each talking.
“Back in the day, when this f*cking game started and I was dying a lot, I had an idea. Since it’s come to this, let’s just fight it out and end it.”
“If it really comes out like that, we’ll be able to tell each other’s identities right away.”
“That’s right. There’s no point in fighting over heads. Since we already know each other’s identities, we can just fight.”
“Wouldn’t that be a good idea? It would be an opportunity for the daytime group to join forces, but it would also be an opportunity for the night group to join forces.”
“That’s true. To be exact, it’s to our advantage.”
Sigh, the NPC who appears to have stayed on the 91st floor for quite some time raises the corners of his mouth.
“Do you know why they failed back then? It was nothing. That operation had to be carried out at night.”

Of course, because if it’s not night, your affiliation won’t come to mind.
“We can just go ahead and do it, but what about the daytime affiliation? Absolutely not. Even if you hear the commotion and try to step forward, you might be far away, and there are some who are hesitant to step forward.”
“I guess that’s all for tonight. People are like that, after all, their own lives are the most precious thing.”

Those guys who laugh out loud.
I can’t deny it completely. I’m here, and I sometimes feel distrustful of people.
That doesn’t mean I agree with what they say.
-Wow!
At first, there were only two Magma Fairies and Pahar, but now there are five more who have joined and are fighting.
Those who were near us. Or those who came to us despite the distance.
I was encouraged by the sight of the Magma Fairy and Pahar not collapsing and struggling. I wanted to prove myself and fight head on.
“Well, even back then, they didn’t go down easily. Fire tends to grow in size once it starts burning.”
Regardless, the guy sitting on the wall and tapping his feet raised one corner of his mouth.
“But why did you lose? If there is no fuel, the fire will quickly die out.”
-Push.
One of the daytime NPCs who was trying to join the stronghold fell forward as the guy playfully threw a blade.
It’s a pretty good shot, but it’s accurate.
The opponent was also not ordinary, and quickly got up, pulling out the blade embedded in his thigh.
“What the hell! Get out of here, you little shi*s!”
“Where are you going? Just stay home. Where are you going!”
“You were going to go there alone? What are you doing? Huh?”
I was just attacked by those who rushed in for a moment.
“See. In the end, the ones who stick together are the ones who belong to the night group faster. That’s not good for them.”
“Ohhh! I see. There must be a reason why you survived so long.”
“So just believe what I say and follow me. You’re lucky.”
One is bragging and the other is being sarcastic. I wonder what they are doing.
It’s disgusting to just look at it, and since the people around me have disappeared, why don’t we try moving?
-Bush Luck.
“Who’s there!”
“Put your hands up. If you don’t, I’ll stab you in the back.”
He stepped forward, deliberately making noise.
A hoodie that I wore normally. I took off the Pelline set because it was too conspicuous. If I was going to be completely hidden, then it would be fine, but in this situation, it wasn’t really necessary.
I was covered in dirt and dust and looked terrible because I had been crawling through alleys here and there, but that didn’t matter.
“You?”
“Evil Eye?”
Because my face was already pretty famous here.
The number one target for vigilance, the one who killed the most night-time affiliates, and the madman who fought several battles during the day.
It’s only been a few days, and I’ve already been given this nickname.
Since it’s a place where there’s nothing to do, I don’t really care about other people’s gossip, but it was nice to know that they were paying attention to me.

“That kid needs to be killed now!”
“Hey, wait a minute! Look carefully, the affiliation isn’t listed.”
The excited guy was about to rush at me, but a guy who was somewhat of a veteran stopped him.
As he said, I can’t remember my affiliation. They’re the same. Those who belong to the night don’t have any separate markings.
Pupils shaking for a moment.
“No way. No way, you belong at night!”
“You really are a crazy guy! Killing your own teammate with your own hands?”
“It’s a misunderstanding. It was all an act for the bigger picture.”
He approached them with a serious expression, raising both hands.
“It was to gain the trust of those who belong to the daytime. I admit that there were sacrifices in the process. That’s why I am now trusted by those who belong to the daytime more than anyone else.”
“Is that what you call talking?”
“Let’s say it was a plausible plan. But this was too much. We would have done well according to plan even without this. This is just a shame. He’s a mountaineer and doesn’t know anything.”
I listened to what the guy said.
Are you doing as planned? As expected, they were moving in a group. You can tell just by looking at them saying “we” and not “individuals.”
“You know, these people aren’t very friendly to climbers. They don’t even properly explain the rules and such.”
I approached them a little more comfortably.
“If there was something good, wouldn’t it have been better if you had told me in advance? Since you keep trying to rush in, I need to be able to go out with peace of mind. Don’t you think so?”
He took a step forward, spitting out lies calmly.
The distance is short now.
“Huh, right. That’s true. It’s hard for me to trust other people easily. Now that I think about it, you weren’t there when that lava-spewing guy was running wild.”
“Oh? I see. You were avoiding our spot because you belong to the same night club as us? Now I understand.”
Guys who misunderstand things on their own.
“It’s nothing. Someone like you could be of help. We’ll help you. Consider yourself lucky. Got it?”
“That’s right. You’re lucky.”
-Crunch.
I cut off the head of the guy who reached out to me.
In a split second, my head fell to the floor as if slipping from the sword strike that erased even the will to live.
“Hey, this son of a bitch!”
“If only there were more idiots like you.”
-Kkwaddeuddeuk!
I reacted late and grabbed the wrist of the guy who reached out to me, twisted it, and placed my hand on his chest.
Just fire night.
-Kugugugugugugu!
I squeezed my palm as hard as I could to keep the blast from spreading to other places.
There is a sound of something exploding, and black smoke rises.

You could call it a hot heart massage. If you were properly alert and wearing protective gear, it wouldn’t matter, but if you were exposed to a surprise attack, there’s nothing they can do.
You should have been more careful in your daily life. Or at least a matt house would have been better.
By the way, I’m really lucky.
“It would be so convenient if only there were guys like this.”
He’s neat, comfortable, and easy to get along with. The guys I’ve met before weren’t like this.
I shook my hand lightly.
“This makes five.”
3 hours before sunrise.
It was the number of people belonging to the night I was killed.
-Kugugugugugugugu.
From afar, you can hear the sound of the daytime personnel, including the magma fairies, running wild.
It seems that a lot of the daytime crew members were affected, but the damage they suffered was not ordinary.
If it’s this much chaos.
“The fragments of chaos will also react.”
Shh, the corners of his lips rose.
