Relife Player 680
[Chapter 175]
[Cocoon Recovery (3)]
Before returning, before the second recapture of Uijeongbu.
The recapture team’s concern was how to treat the residents of Uijeongbu, but the biggest concern was weeding out the hidden criminals among the residents.
All residents must be killed.
We need to accept the residents as citizens and weed out only the white people.
At that time, there were very different opinions.
Uijeongbu Station, where Uijeongbu residents will be.
The recapture team camped there had conflicting opinions and argued.
At that time, the person who ended their argument was Bae Soo-bin of the Misty Flower Party.
“Huh, right. Why are you doing this? I can just kill them all. Leader, I’ll take care of this.”
The recapture team had already captured the residents and locked them in cages.
Bae Soo-bin suddenly ran out of the barracks and killed one of the people trapped in the cage with magic.
With that, the Uijeongbu recapture team could no longer turn back.
One person’s death became the first death.
Moreover, before the recapture of Uijeongbu, the reins of the 2nd generation players who had a lot of resentment were loosened, and voices calling for their execution were echoing everywhere.
“Ah, that’s cool. If you have any doubts, you can just kill them. Why waste time here?”
One person, one person.
Bae Soo-bin steadily killed it.
She only killed the person hit by the spell while he or she was still alive.
“Say, please save me!!”
“Please save me!!”
“It’s noisy! Why do we have to save the lives of those who are stuck with monsters!?”
“Are you humans? Monsters.”
It was horror.
People trapped behind iron bars were terrified as they saw people dying.
They cried and cried out loud.
The people who supported Bae Soo-bin’s massacre scolded him with a grim face.
“Player Bae Soo-bin. It’s not too late. Stop now.”
Seeing people dying without any resistance.
Looking at the second generation players who are comforting their souls after losing their comrades.
The players were unable to move due to an incomprehensible eerie feeling.
Nevertheless, there were some people whose reason was not paralyzed and who were angry at the merciless massacre.
Of course they─.
“—Oh, really? Are you a white-faced person? Why are you trying to protect those people?”
“yes?”
“No, that’s strange. There are more reasons to kill those people than there are reasons to keep them alive, so why are you trying to save them? Aren’t you telling me to let them live because they are a loser?”
“What nonsense….”
“Then prove it to me. That you are not an asshole right now. By killing the residents like this, I am proving that I am not an asshole.”
“What do you mean!? Are you really crazy!? How can you kill innocent people….”
“”””Prove it.””””
“”””… … .””””
It was madness.
Those who were swept up in the whirlpool of madness became crazy about killing someone.
Also, to justify their crimes, they made those who did not participate in the massacre but stood by or who were still opposed to it join in.
The people who had blood on their hands continued to make accomplices and continued to massacre the residents.
So─.
“—Now, your name and age. If you want to die without pain, it would be better to tell me.”
“…Yuinhu. 13 years old.”
Bae Soo-bin discovered Baek Myeon-sang.
20 years of history, Yoo In-hoo, 13 years old.
The information about the person who was finally transformed into a human by Baekmyeonsang was recorded in the diary of the second Uijeongbu recapture war.
Later, the Mana Management Organization analyzed that his defeat formed the village in a different way from the first Uijeongbu recapture war, and that somehow the residents had a different name than before.
☆
The day dawned.
Eunha packed her luggage with her companions.
“Follow me! It’s not far from here.”
Buildings had collapsed here and there, blocking the road.
To begin with, the condition of the road was not good.
In the end I had to take a detour.
People walked along a path that was vague to be called a road, guided by Yoo In-hoo.
“It’s here. You can go in here.”
“Huh? Go into the manhole?”
“Everyone lives down here!”
“”””… … .””””
About 1 hour and 30 minutes passed?
People arrived at Beomgol Station.

——————
Then we went deeper inside and stopped in front of a manhole.
Jinparang and others seemed embarrassed to hear that Yoo In-hoo was living in an underground waterway.
“If I want to avoid being discovered by monsters, I have no choice but to go underground and hide. You learned that at the academy. How the residents of Uijeongbu lived….”
“Is it the same as what I heard and what I saw in person? … I should go in, right?”
“What are you going to do if you don’t go in?”
Let Eunha scold him.
Bae Soo-bin protested with disgust.
She didn’t look like she was happy to go down into the underground waterway.
But I couldn’t help it.
The entire group was going down to the basement, but they couldn’t wait outside alone, watching out for monsters.
In the end, people followed Yoo In-hoo and climbed down the ladder.
I can’t feel any signs of monsters, but I can feel the presence of people here and there.
It wasn’t as dirty as I thought.
It’s just a bad smell.
Eunha was able to stop smelling due to the magic activated by Bae Soo-bin.
I just walked along the waterway.
“The village chief is a really good person. He probably knows what the current state of the place his brothers and sisters are trying to go to is. Among the people in our village, no one knows geography better than the village chief!”
The road wasn’t that complicated.
People took several turns along the way, guided by Yoo In-hoo.
Eventually, they were able to meet the villagers in a wide area.
“Throat! Boy! Where have you been and are you coming back now!? I was worried!!” “Hehe, I’m sorry, Mom.”
“”””… … .””””
Residents of Uijeongbu.
The eyes of perhaps dozens of people turned to Eunha and her companions.
Soon, a woman who recognized Yoo In-hoo and appeared to be his mother ran out and hugged him tightly.
Yoo In-hoo showed cuteness to his mother in a manner befitting his age.
He then introduced Eunha and her companions to the residents.
“They are people from outside the Wall! Yesterday, I protected them from being eaten by monsters!” “”””… … !!””””
They say they came from outside the wall.
Even without that, those who showed caution when they saw behavior that was completely different from their own opened their eyes wide.
The woman quickly picked up Yoo In-hoo and ran to the residents.
It’s worth showing caution.
It’s the same for us too.
Eunha did not know why they were wary of them.
No, they are afraid.
In the first battle to recapture Uijeongbu, they sided with the monsters and threw the recapture team into confusion.
That is why they are afraid that harm may be inflicted on them because of what happened at that time.
Meanwhile─.
“—You came from a far away place. Judging by the fact that he’s following us well, I’m guessing he didn’t come to see us with bad intentions.”
“”””… … .””””
“I am the village chief of Beomgol Station Village. Thank you for bringing Inhu. I will welcome you all as guests.”
☆
An old man called the village chief guided us.
When I heard the village chief’s story, he said that the place where the villagers had gathered a little while ago was the entrance to the village.
It is said that Yoo In-hoo did not come even after a day, so adult men formed a group and tried to go find him.
“A few years ago, people from the Wall killed our master and many things changed in our daily lives.”
It is said that monsters are currently making large-scale movements in the direction of Uijeongbu Station.
The village chief advised the group to monitor the situation throughout the day and then move.
At the same time, he is guiding the group, offering to provide them with a place to sleep.
“Uijeongbu Station is no longer inhabitable, and there are many monsters around, so those who survived have created a village at Beomgol Station.”
“”””… … .””””
“The first policy the villagers decided was to not obey the monsters and live on our own. And in order to increase independence and unity, we decided to have our own name.”
The village chief talks about the changes that have occurred to Uijeongbu residents since the end of the first Uijeongbu recapture war.
The group listened silently to the village chief’s story.
This is because the story explained by the village chief provides information that allows Korea to understand the situation in Uijeongbu.
Meanwhile, Eunha glanced around the living space.
Soon he noticed a blackboard hanging on one side of the wall and stopped.
“It’s a status board.”
“I see.”
The people who were moving forward looked back at Eunha, who had stopped mid-step.
Kaede approached and looked at the blackboard that Eunha was looking at.
she said
Eunha nodded.
Information about Uijeongbu residents was written on the blackboard.

In addition, various information was written on the blackboard.
The other party members were also curious and had already approached Eunha.
“This is the status of Beomgol Station Village. This is the status board we created to keep track of the number of people. In the case of children who have not yet been given a name because they are under 5 years old, it is not written down here.”
“Why did you do that? Can’t we just give him a name as soon as he’s born?”
Jinparang expressed doubt.
Then the old man laughed.
“Because you never know when you will die.” “”””… … .””””
“I don’t know what it’s like beyond the wall, but children born here get sick easily, and sometimes get eaten by monsters that live in the waterways. How can I name a child like that when I don’t know if they can continue to live or not? Can you add .”
It made sense.
Nevertheless, it was a bit scary for the people who had never lived in Uijeongbu.
The old man didn’t care.
Then he looked at his companions to see if they had any more questions.
“But what is the F here? Is it the era name used by the people of Uijeongbu?”
“Yes, it’s the era name we use among ourselves.”
“What does this stand for?”
Han Chang-jin put his hand on the blackboard and asked a question.
F under the year.
It was a sign that the companions were also curious.
They waited for the village chief to speak.
Soon the village chief said─.
“—Well, I’m not sure why they use the abbreviation F either.” “”””… … .””””
“It was decided by the former village chief. We used that time as a starting point when creating a new village for us, but I don’t know what it means. Now, we can’t bring back the deceased village chief.”
“When you first decided to use the era name, didn’t you ask? Wasn’t there a single person who was curious?”
“Should I be curious?” “”””… … .””””
“For us, it’s okay to have an era name or not. All we need is a unit to count time. How can we enjoy wealth and fame? We might die today or tomorrow.”
It was a calm yet cynical remark.
The group remained silent at the old man’s answer.
“If you don’t have any more questions, I’ll show you the way again.”
Soon the old man changed the topic.
He decided to lead the way again.
The group resumed their movement.
Nevertheless, Eunha was still standing in front of the blackboard.
“What are you doing if you’re not going?”
“It’s a heavy rain.”
“I told you not to call me that name.” “What do you think the F is?”
“How can I know if the village chief doesn’t know? I think it’s a ‘Foundation’ in the sense of establishment. But what do you think?”
The year Yoo In-hoo was born is F2.
The galaxy used its finger to draw a circle around F2 written in chalk.
Kaede, who did not follow the group, frowned at Eunha’s actions.
On the other hand, Eunha giggled.
“Fermentation.”
“Per…what?”
“You don’t know, right? Haven’t you ever taken a class on naming magic in English at the academy?”
“…I didn’t hear that, so what can I do? If I hear things like that, I end up learning more skills that are more helpful in battle.”
“Ah, so your magic is in Japanese or Korean.”
“Shut up.”
Kaede grits her molars.
Eunha tapped her head and followed the group going far away.
“Fermentation. It means fermentation. Doesn’t that seem like it?”
“There’s no way you could use a word like that to refer to a year. Don’t say anything weird to show off your knowledge of English to me.” “That doesn’t sound strange.”
Kaede, following behind, grumbles.
Eunha shrugged her shoulders.
Kaede didn’t seem to believe it, but Eunha had no doubt that she believed it.
With this, I am confident.
─It is clear that Baek Myeon-sang is alive. Because he said in his previous life that he was the one who created the year ‘F’.
Baekmyeonsang is alive.
Eunha was able to be certain through few clues.
☆
Following the village chief’s advice, the group decided to stay overnight in Beomgol Station Village and distributed food as a sign of gratitude.
“I’ve never tried something this delicious!”
“Hehe… It’s hard to find now. I thought I’d never eat it again, but now that I get to eat it like this, it’s like a dream.”
“Wow, what does this taste like? Brother, sister! Is it possible to eat this delicious food as much as you like when you go outside the wall? Wow….”
“I need to save up on this… Don’t eat it all right away. You’ll regret it later.”
Thanks to eating plenty of sugary foods like chocolate and candy.
The village people welcomed them with open arms.
The children, in particular, were very excited and walked around the group.
In that situation─.
“─…….”
Yoo In-hoo quietly slipped out of the crowd.
Biting down on the candy.
Yoo In-hoo escaped out of the village, hiding his presence as much as possible.
Whiiing
Come out to the ground and feel the wind.
The smell was absolutely terrible.
He frowned.
Then he grinned.
“It’s delicious.”
The candy is so sweet.
However, the only food sweeter and more delicious than candy is humans.
Crackling
He pretended to be the village chief and founded a village.
Yoo In-hoo, who disguised himself as a child born in the village to avoid the suspicion of the residents, giggled.
Those who act as their parents do not even know that the child died immediately after birth.
Everyone thinks that Baekmyeonsang is dead, and people who often go missing are mistaken as having been eaten by monsters.
That was so funny.
Pleasant and enjoyable.
Humans are truly interesting.
It’s really delicious.
Especially among them─.
─Everyone, listen.
The humans coming from beyond the wall are much more delicious and interesting than the meager humans living here.
Yoo In-hoo thought of the players who entered the village today.
“You idiots. You stepped into my territory without knowing it was a trap.”
How delicious are they?
But I couldn’t let down my guard.
In the last war, Yoo In-hoo had been treated harshly by them.
It is forbidden to deal with it alone.
Best of all, they will return to the other side of the Wall as soon as they finish their business.
There was a need to hold them.
Therefore, Yoo In-hoo decided to inform the monsters living throughout Uijeongbu of their existence.
Humans came from beyond the wall.
It’s been a while since some nutritious people came here, but we can’t let things go like this.
Isn’t everyone like that?
Monsters who heard Yoo In-hoo’s message.
Eventually, the monsters living throughout Uijeongbu responded in their own way.
──!!
The monsters cried.
And among them─.
─Nyaa nyaa
The sound of a cat crying was also mixed in.
Yoo In-hoo laughed.
And─.
─Right now
He quickly grabbed the villager who saw him sending a message to the monsters and chewed him up.
Bones are crushed.
Blood dripping.
It went down my throat.
“─I heard that humans are the most delicious. They’re really sweet.”
☆
That time.
Eunha, who was assigned a lodging, did not sleep and gathered the party members.
“Hyung Changjin. Can we create a barrier to prevent sound from leaking to the residents here?”
“Okay. Wait a minute.”
Han Chang-jin was surrounded by a soundproof barrier.
After checking the state of the barrier, Eunha immediately spread out a map on the floor.
“This is where we are right now. This is where we need to go tomorrow morning.”
Connect your current location to the Uijeongbu Arts Center with your fingertips.
Eunha asked Kaede and Bae Soo-bin a question.
“But if the monsters have already noticed our presence… how will they act?”
“hmm….”
“Why are you asking that? I really don’t understand.”
“You have to keep the worst-case scenario in mind. This is Uijeongbu, where you never know what will happen.” “”””… … .””””
Will Baekmyeonsang really let them go like this?
Eunha thought that could never happen.
For monsters, players are tasty prey.
There’s no way he’s just sucking his finger.
So Eunha decided to prepare to some extent.
On the other hand, Bae Soo-bin, who does not yet know about Baekmyeonsang, complained that he was saying things that did not make sense.
At the same time, she also looked at the map along with Kaede and became lost in thought.
At that time, the answer came from somewhere else.
“If I were a monster, I think I would look for moments when we are relaxed.”
Han Chang-jin spoke his thoughts with a serious face.
Eunha and the party members raised their heads.
Eunha gave him a look as if asking him to say more.
Soon, unlike before, Han Chang-jin spoke with embarrassment.
“It’s the same when making a surprise attack. There is no gain in making a surprise attack when the enemy is tense. Of course, the enemy will also be prepared.”
“”””… … .””””
“So the key to a surprise attack is to aim for the moment when the enemy is relaxed. Assuming the monsters are intelligent, I think they will wait until we relax.”
It made sense.
Eunha and the party members all agreed.
Meanwhile, Jinparang expressed curiosity.
“So when do we relax?”
“Well… I think back then….”
“When our purpose is accomplished.”
At that moment, Kaede suddenly opened her mouth.
While she was lost in thought, she interrupted Han Chang-jin’s words.
Han Chang-jin smiled helplessly and nodded.
“When our purpose has been accomplished….”
Eunha quietly muttered what Kaede had said.
There was a corner to point out.
If they launch a surprise attack─.
“—We will launch a surprise attack here, at the Arts Center, where we will obtain the cocoon.”
“”””… … .””””
Bae Soo-bin marked the Seoul Arts Center on the map with his finger.
The party members responded to her point with heavy silence.
Everyone seemed lost in thought.
Eunha smiled bitterly.
I’m glad.
If you do this, you won’t let down your guard.
What you just say.
What the party members realized on their own made a big difference.
By asking questions in this way, they will not let go of tension even when they arrive at the Seoul Arts Center.
The conversation we had today will probably not be forgotten even when we find the cocoon.
Blaze Clan… . I can’t tell you what I was thinking because it shows on my face. Then, you never know if you will have to live within the bounds of the situation.
Prisis memory is… . That person will do well without you having to tell them.
Eunha looked at her friends, who were thinking of the worst.
Let them continue to worry.
Eunha infused mana into the skill stone she took out of her holster.
Wow!
A skill stone that can now be held in one hand.
As I infused mana, the skill stone glowed and providence seeped into my body.
Soon, not long after—.
─It’s done.
I finally realized it.
The skill stone in my hand disappeared.
Soon, the providence that flowed into the body gave Eunha a new
It gave me enlightenment.
Eunha raised the corners of her mouth.
