Episode 600. Player Unknown (1)
It was exactly three days since the Stagnant Corporation defeated Tulcha.
An unexpected person came to KDS broadcasting station.
Quang!
“Gu, Director!”
An employee with long straight hair kicked down the door of the director’s office and burst in.
Normally, it would be an atrocity that would not be surprising even if the resignation letters were evenly placed over the eyes, nose, and mouth.
“Gagging… ! Mo, Moran… My peony… !”
Kang Byeong-chan, who cut off the whole orchid he had grown with great care, was shaking with his hands and feet.
After being attacked by Kang Jin-hyuk in the past, he suffered all kinds of criticism and was even demoted. After that, I lived with the label of being in charge of a failed broadcast for over a year.
This is the first humiliation experienced by the elite who were always on a roll.
The only thing that became the light in such a hellish life was the peony.
A precious companion who has always been there for me.
To make me cut off the support of my heart that allowed me to rise to the position of director once again… .
“this person… Assistant Manager Lee. The weather is cold, but you’re very distracted, right? “Starting tomorrow, I will make it so that you can’t even buy the bungeoppang in front of the station.”
Kang Byeong-chan grabbed the scissors backwards.
Be that as it may, Assistant Manager Lee was busy conveying what he had seen.
“Gu, Director! Now at the entrance… .”
“What at the entrance! “Has the president come?”
“No, Unknown…” Player Unknown is here!”
“… … “What!?”
Kang Byeong-chan, who was about to swing the scissors at any moment, suddenly stopped.
Unknown was the ranker that all Korean journalists worked hard to recruit.
There was a lot of speculation that he was the same person as Kang Jin-hyuk, but it was only speculation. The exact facts have never been revealed.
“What about Kang Jin-hyuk? “Where is Kang Jin-hyuk now?”
“I checked with a correspondent on the scene, and they are busy making strange bets. “They said there was an eating contest between a pet called a sweet potato or something and a silver-haired girl named Alice.”
I asked just in case, but as expected, it wasn’t Kang Jin-hyuk.
Currently, Kang Jin-hyuk is participating in a buffet party hosted by Signiel with the rest of the members.
then… .
‘It’s true.’
Kang Byeong-chan asked one more question just in case.
“Did you lead that person to exit number 2?”
“yes. The judgment was that it could not be measured. “I checked it four times just in case, but the results were the same.”
If measurement is not possible, the horsepower measurement is at least S class or higher.
It was a result that far exceeded the limits of security devices designed for safety.
Kang Byeong-chan’s expression became grotesquely distorted.
The middle-aged man who used to tend peonies under the warm sunlight is no longer there.
“Hahaha! “Our Moran gave me a very nice fruit as a gift on the way to the underworld.”
“Ho ho ho. “Director, I won’t be fired, right?”
“How could it be just layoffs? During performance meetings, grades should be reflected clearly. “They also add a lot of bonuses.”
“thank you!”
“Rather than that, go downstairs and bring Mr. Unknown. No, it’s not like this. I have to go down there myself. “Are you still in the lobby?”
“yes. “I told you to hold on to it so it doesn’t go anywhere.”
Kang Byeong-chan hurriedly ran toward the elevator heading down because he was going to be late.
All the indignities I had suffered over the past years flashed through my mind.
But this is the end of all those painful times.
With Unknown… !
If only we could make a big program about it… !
It may turn the public’s attention to the unlucky Kang Jin-hyuk. If he’s lucky, he might be able to push that guy out and create a new star.
More than anything, it was incredibly inspiring to know that I was sharing the first page of a new epic.
⁕⁕⁕
‘What on earth is this plan? .’
Kang Byeong-chan, who was talking to Unknown, bit the tips of his fingernails as if he was nervous.
I felt like I was dying of anxiety about maintaining an uncomfortable silence while wearing a strange mask.
Even if all kinds of good conditions and incentives are offered.
This is because even though I tried to persuade them to broadcast with the hottest idols, they never responded properly.
There was only one thing that Unknown wanted.
Broadcast live during peak hours.
He said it doesn’t matter what the topic is, just broadcasting it is enough.
‘No matter what, we just have to achieve our goal. Rather, it is a business that remains since we are able to cast a popular ranker for a low fee.’
Kang Byeong-chan shook off the worries in his head.
As I just said, there was absolutely no way for this side to lose money.
It was already revealed to the world through extensive publicity a few hours ago that Unknown would appear on KDS’s ‘Climb the Tower of Trials’.
There was a rush to watch this program, not only in Korea but also in foreign countries.
“Director! “It’s starting soon!”
There is only one minute left until the live broadcast.
Now it’s time to start the show, whatever it may be.
“What are you doing? Lastly, check the settings. Check the lighting and script again. Internet reactions are displayed in real time on my computer!”

Kang Byeong-chan hurriedly led the staff.
Same time.
There were people watching this program in Signiel.
They were members of Jinhyuk and Goinmul Corporation.
“If you’re Unknown, you’re a player who was famous a long time ago, right?”
“huh. “In the early days, Jinhyuk was the top two with his older brother.”
Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who had finally joined the cast, looked at the screen with serious faces.
“Hmm. The fact that Unknown is the same person as the contractor… “Aya!”
Ellis, who was speaking, was startled by the pain she felt in her side and screamed.
This is because Jinhyuk correctly pinpointed the most painful part.
“It’s strange. It’s suddenly live broadcasted at this exact moment. “I don’t usually do much.”
“I don’t feel very good.”
Teresa and Cheon Yu-seong also folded their arms and carefully organized their thoughts.
The most complicated person was by far Jinhyuk.
‘There are people pretending to be me.’
To be honest, it’s ridiculous.
There have been many people who have pretended to be unknown in order to become famous, but this was the first one that was openly broadcast.
‘Still, if it appears on live broadcast, it means that it has been verified to some extent… .’
Although KDS director Kang Byeong-chan is trash, he is not an idiot.
Since the days of Lee Jong-soo, he had an amazing sense of anything that would make him money.
Clearly, there is something there.
Right then.
The waiting broadcast began.
“Hello Olaf! This is Kim Hyun-ji, the main MC of ‘Climbing the Tower through Trials’! Today we have the guest everyone has been waiting for! “This is Unknown, the player who was always mentioned when choosing the strongest ranker!”
The MC wearing a rabbit headband raised the tension.
however.
“… … .”
Kim Hyun-ji gently pushed the microphone toward him to introduce him, but Unknown did not say a word.
The air becomes cold.
A short but heavy silence followed.
Kim Hyun-ji, who was embarrassed, tried to control her expression and continued speaking.
“I guess it’s because Unknown felt awkward because it was his first live broadcast. “Don’t feel too pressured, but please briefly introduce yourself first!”
“About Me… .”
At Hyunji Kim’s words, a slight vibration occurred at the corner of Unknown’s mouth.
A variety of emotions were evident in his self-deprecating tone.
“If I reveal my identity, there will be huge repercussions. “More than anything, my life will be in danger.”
“yes? “What does that mean?”
“There is a reason why I insisted on coming to the broadcasting station and broadcasting live. “As many people as possible had to see this show.”
Sweet… .
Unknown put his hand on the mask. Her locks were released and her veiled face was slowly revealed.
as soon as… .
The appearance of ‘Player Kang Jin-hyuk’.
“what?”
“Gangjin… “It’s Hyuk, right?”
“Are you saying that the theory that Kang Jin-hyuk is an unknown person was true?”
There was a huge commotion.
This is because it was the moment when a hypothesis full of speculation and speculation became fact.
However, the cheers soon turned into questions.
This very obvious fact struck my mind.
“Wait, does that make sense? Player Kang Jin-hyuk is now… .”
I am currently at a party held at Signiel.
There is no doubt that there are correspondents on both sides.
That means… .
FALSE.
It means that one of the two is pretending to be real.
The agitation grew even louder.
The reporters in confusion were pressing the shutters like crazy. Comments related to this began to flood various internet communities.
“hurry! What are you doing?”
Director Kang Byeong-chan opened his mouth like a crazy carp, and Kim Hyun-ji, who had been lost, came to her senses belatedly.
“Well, then… Are you saying that Jinhyeok Kang, the player currently in SIGNIEL, is fake? No way, I fought a named monster named Tulcha… ?”
“yes. It was I, not the author, who fought Tulcha. And contrary to known fact, I did not defeat Tulcha. “No matter how many attacks we made, it was no use.”
In the first place, it is called Cheonoecheon because its existence is a natural disaster that cannot be handled by human power.
Unknown calmly announced his defeat.
And I didn’t forget to add one thing.
“Right then. A guy has appeared. A fake person who looks and acts exactly like me. The person pretending to be me now has orders from Tulcha. Don’t just win the battle, go out into our world and destroy everything! And since I am the only one who knows the truth, I have been hiding all this time and waiting for an opportunity to expose the truth.”
Fingers point towards the screen.
To be exact, towards someone outside the screen.
“You’ve been trying so hard to secretly kill me. “With so many people coming forward as witnesses, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
at the same time.
[The unique ability ‘Eyes of Chaos’ is activated!]
Ugh!
A soft purple light blinked through the TV.
Without anyone noticing, I unconsciously sympathized with Unknown’s words.
The feeling of discomfort is fading. Instead, a deep sense of fear began to creep in.
“FALSE… .”
“It means that at least one of them is acting.”
“ha ha ha. “How on earth does this work?”
Everyone was at a loss for words at this absurd fact.
“I understand that everyone is scared. But, I don’t have time. “The moment I tell the truth, another game begins.”
Tiring!
[The conditions of the Apocalypse ‘Covenant’ have been met.]
[The first seal is lifted.]
[Red wanted event is activated!]
Content: Find the real Kang Jin-hyuk and destroy the fake.
In case of failure: 7 seals will be released sequentially over 7 days, and when all seals are released, the restrictions on the system will disappear. In this case, all beings in the tower will be able to move freely up and down the stairs, as well as exert influence outside the tower.
Time limit: 7 days
If successful, clearing up to the 40th floor is considered successful.
Now, the belief and confidence that humanity will be safe has reached its peak.
The worst event that could destroy it all has appeared.
