Episode 128
128. Investigation
14 hours before killing Jang Bok-chul.
Ryumin found a familiar name on the murder list.
‘Joo Seong-tak? Did this guy also join Plseba?’
The name and age are definitely correct, but the nickname is a little different.
‘The nickname is [Dungsters]? They were originally supposed to be [shit idiots], right?’
Seeing that the rankings written down are different, it seems like I signed up with the information slightly twisted.
‘Is this why Joo Seong-tak was not in the executive position?’
Joo Seong-tak is a talented player who ranks 2nd and 3rd in the entire district.
If he had been an executive, we would have met him long ago, but since he lied about the information like this, it is natural that we have not met him until now.
‘Looking at the sign-up date, it looks like I signed up a long time ago… … ‘Did you just sign up and not do any activities?’
I searched the cafe and found that there were no posts or comments.
It seems like he just passed the murder interview and stayed quiet.
‘Of course this guy deserves to die, but it’s still worth using… … .’
I decided to be generous and save him.
Even so, his life is as dead as the others.
The period was just extended.
‘huh?’
I was looking at the list again and saw a nickname that I thought I had seen somewhere before.
‘The name is Hong Seon-ah. Nickname: Cheek Bbang Jjjinbbang. ‘I’m 22 years old and my job is an actor.’
At that moment, Seo A-rin came to mind.
We are the same age and have the same occupation.
If we had acted in the same work, we would have become close friends.
‘Shall we search for it?’
When I typed Hong Seon-ah on the Internet, several articles appeared.
[Actress Hong Seon-ah, who survived the 8th round, her multi-colored charms!]
[Popular celebrity players such as Hong Seon-ah, Seo Arin, Koo Yeon-seung, and Jang Bok-chul survive this round… … .]
[Actress Hong Seon-ah signs an advertising contract with a large agency! I have a reason to keep living!]
[Hong Seon-ah confirmed to appear in entertainment program ‘Players’! I’m looking forward to what role he will play… … .]
From the looks of it, she is an actress in her 20s who has survived to this day and is rising in popularity along with Seo Ah-rin.
‘He abetted a murder in Plseba and yet proudly continued his career in the entertainment industry… … ‘She’s a bitch who gave away her conscience.’
In any case, only the executives know that they aided and abetted the murder.
If only the executives keep quiet, nothing will become known to the public.
However, Plseva will not expose it either.
Because it was no different from lying down and spitting.
‘I guess because they know that fact, they are openly active.’
Ryu Min, who was clicking his tongue, went to Hong Seon-ah’s personal gram to get some information.
There were many photos, including one with Seo A-rin.
‘If you look at the picture, they look quite friendly.’
In addition to the two women smiling brightly, there were many other photos.
Most of the selfies were taken with Hong Seon-ah pretending to be pretty.
The rest were photos taken with acquaintances.
Among them, Ryumin looked closely at one photo.
It was a recent photo taken in front of a club with male actors, and there was this message written underneath.
[A shot with close fellow actors at a club we often go to. From the left, junior Joo Ji-seung, senior Koo Yeon-seung, senior Jang Bok-chul, and junior Kang Soo-hyun… … We had fun playing today too!]
‘Co-actors?’
Names I’ve seen somewhere.
I looked at the murder list again just in case.
I compared the names of people who were actors by profession.
“under.”
Every single one of them was a player who had joined Playseva.
‘They said they were playing with each other, but all the actors are members of Pseva?’
They were committing criminal acts such as murder, rape, and aiding and abetting and living shamelessly as if they were human beings.
And that too, under the spotlight as a celebrity.
Ryu Min, who couldn’t hide his absurdity, looked at each actor’s personal gram.
There were many photos of each other’s faces, as if they were really close friends.
‘Are these actors who are close to each other and also members of the Pseva? ‘I smell something?’
What do murderers do when they get together?
Could he be conspiring to commit another crime?
After researching that idea, I found one thing in common.
‘The photos are all taken at the same club.’
Looking at the photos taken with the same club in the background, Ryumin took his coat.
It definitely smelled bad.
If you go to a club, you will find something more.
“Brother, where are you going?”
“I’ll go out for a moment.”
“Tonight?”

After nodding, I left my younger brother behind and opened the front door.
“Sleep first. “I might be late.”
* * *
Rumbling-
The club’s location is not far from here.
We arrived after driving the Lamborghini for 20 minutes.
It was after midnight, so it was a good time to go to the club.
‘I’m not going there to have fun, but to investigate.’
I parked my car in a public parking lot and walked down the street for a bit.
‘It’s here.’
Ryu Min, who visited the club he saw on Instagram, was soon disappointed.
I thought there would be a big gatekeeper censoring clothes like I saw in the movie, but guess what?
Not only was there no gatekeeper, but even the door to the club was locked.
‘what? ‘You’re saying the club won’t open at this peak time?’
It was definitely suspicious.
When I looked around the building, there was a back door, but it was locked as expected.
‘The presence detection makes me feel like there’s someone inside.’
The door is locked front and back, but there is someone within 30m?
‘Suspicious, suspicious.’
If there was a window, they would have broken it to break in, but the club is in the basement.
How do I get in?
‘Do you have anything to think deeply about?’
Kwaduk-
I just opened the door with force.
He then used invisibility to hide himself and entered.
Since I was wearing ghost walking boots, I couldn’t hear my footsteps.
“… … .”
The club was quiet as it was not in operation.
‘But there was someone inside.’
Ryumin first walked towards the person whose presence he sensed.
“huh?”
The guy looks this way to see if he has presence detection skills.
Ryumin immediately went out of the 30m range.
“weird. “Did I feel wrong?”
When he couldn’t see or feel anyone, the man tilted his head and walked again.
‘That guy is an actor named Ji Seung.’
I checked his face, but Ryu Min looked uncomfortable.
‘I can’t approach this circle properly because both dogs and sonar have presence detection.’
I realized once again that invisibility is a bad skill.
‘There’s nothing I can do until I get the rune of stealth.’
Luckily, you can get the stealth rune in round 9.
Until then, he thought there was nothing he could do and carefully followed the chief monk.
I followed them while maintaining a 31m gap to avoid being caught in the presence detection range.
The chief monk, who was walking down the hallway, soon encountered three people coming out of a room.
These were faces I had memorized.
‘The names were Gu Yeon-seung, Jang Bok-chul, and Kang Soo-hyun, right?’
Perhaps because it is quiet, you can hear the four people talking even though there is a 30m distance between them.
“uh? “Where are you going, senior?”
“I’m going to go get some drinks. Plus cannabis.”
“Have you finished smoking already?”
“okay. “When I told them I would bring it, they said they couldn’t resist and would come out with me.”
The younger brothers spoke to Gu Yeon-seung’s words.
“Hey, older brother is moving, so can the younger brothers stay still?”
“Hehe, I definitely didn’t come along because I wanted to smoke quickly.”
He was smiling brightly, showing that he was already addicted to marijuana.
“Why can’t I even control my body properly? Just resting. “I’m bringing alcohol and marijuana.”
“Uhm, then may I ask you a favor?”
“of course. Go inside and sing. “My brother will prepare everything.”
“Haha, thank you! older brother!”
As Jang Bok-chul bowed his head, Gu Yeon-seung chuckled.
“You sound like a real scoundrel when you greet me like that.”
“My face is that of a gangster. “Hehe.”
“Senior Gu. Even though Jang Bok-chul looks like that, he is very pure. He said he’s never tried it before. “Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
“Oh, really? “I’m surprised it looks like a bandit?”
“Hehe, don’t make fun of me, seniors or juniors.”
Jang Bok-chul touched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed.
“For some reason, I was calling Seo A-rin’s name to the point that it made my ears prick up. “There was a reason for your obsession?”
When Seo A-rin’s name came out of Gu Yeon-seung’s mouth, Ryu Min’s eyes changed.
“Brother, is it really true that you can see Seo A-rin tomorrow?”
“uh. I got a call from Suna. “I made an appointment to meet at a cafe for lunch.”
“So, are you going to get a bachelor’s ticket tomorrow?”
“of course. Our Bokchul’s ideal type comes rolling in, so how can we not give it to him? “I’ll let you play with it first.”
“Thank you, brother! thank you!”
Jang Bok-chul bowed several times.
“Instead, it’s our turn next?”
“Oh, of course it is! “I’ll do it first, then you can play as much as you want.”
“You bastard won’t tell me to come first until the end, right?”
“ha ha ha!”
Jang Bok-chul seemed to be in a genuinely good mood.
“Anyway, since I keep hearing you call me your brother, it makes me feel like you’ve become a gangster. “Just call me senior.”
“It’s better to hear the word ‘hyungnim’ rather than ‘senior’. “Hehe.”
“But other people won’t think it’s strange if they see it.”
“Oh, that’s too much. Are you afraid I might not even notice that much? “Of course, in front of others, I will treat you as a senior.”
Jang Bok-chul, rubbing his palms together like a fly, grins.
As I read his thoughts, I realized that he was carrying out imaginations that were difficult to put into words.
-Hehe, I’ll have to try all sorts of things when Seorin comes tomorrow, bitch.
Ryumin turned away as if there was nothing more to hear.
By reading their inner thoughts, I obtained key information.
‘These guys are planning to kill Seo A-rin.’
I had no idea that Seo A-rin would be involved.
‘I never thought my research out of curiosity would lead to something like this. There was only trash around Seorin, right?’
Perhaps Seo A-rin doesn’t know.
I never thought I would be stabbed in the back by the actress I was closest to, Hong Seon-ah.
‘You’ll find out tomorrow. ‘How foolish it is to trust people.’
This is the kind of floor where even co-workers can use daggers at any time to survive.
As a player who played the 99th episode, Ryu Min saw countless such scenes.
‘Anyway, this is an opportunity. A chance to gain Seo A-rin’s clear favor.’
What if you save Seo A-rin from danger in the name of Black Scythe?
I can make it completely mine.
‘They say men can dominate using yamti, but charm doesn’t work on women.’
That was the reason why I turned away instead of killing them.
‘If you’re going to sweep them away, it’s better to sweep them away while they’re all gathered in one place. If I kill you now, Seo A-rin won’t recognize my merit.’
Of course, we don’t know how gaining favor from Seo A-rin will play a role in the future.
It cannot be said that it only works in a positive way.
But that doesn’t mean we can ignore it.
It would be a waste to give Ma Gyeong-rok this opportunity.
‘It’s better for me to save the painting than for Ma Gyeong-rok to save it.’
Although they are now in a cooperative relationship, Ma Gyeong-rok may become an obstacle to Ryu Min.
If Ma Gyeong-rok and Seo A-rin become close, there is a high possibility that it will become a hassle later on.
Squeak-tap.
Ryu Min left the club and hoped that the day would come.
‘If we follow that bitch named Hong Seon-ah tomorrow, we’ll be able to get the right timing.’
The time has come to take charge of trash cleanup yourself.
* * *
Now 14 hours have passed.
In Ryu Min’s hands was the body of a piece of trash named Jang Bok-chul.
He followed Hong Seon-ah into the club and first killed Jang Bok-chul, who was doing business in the public restroom.
‘If I take him and show him, I’ll be able to deliver a clear message.’
I raised the head of the guy whose neck was bent and was shaking, then grabbed the nape of the neck and moved it.
Of course, he wore a white mask to identify himself as a black scythe.
I deliberately switched to wearing different shoes instead of ghost walking boots so that I could hear the sound of footsteps.
Jumble-jump-
I entered with the sound of footsteps through the open door.
We see Seo A-rin, who was about to be hit by something bad.
The actors’ attention focused on Ryu Min.
No, more precisely, to the corpse that appeared to be in good health.
“uh? Bokchul! Here’s your favorite Seo A-rin… … .”
When they find themselves behind the corpse, the actors’ expressions harden.
“That guy named Jang Bok-chul is your friend, right?”
“Who are you?!”
“I guess that’s right.”
Jang Bok-chul’s body was erased by erasing traces.
“I heard there was a smell of trash coming from somewhere. “They gathered here.”
“You asked who I was… … !”
Needless to say, Ryumin heard the death side.
The crowd all held their breath.
Unless you’re an idiot, that was enough of an answer.
“Well, that… … .”
“sickle?”
“Surely a black scythe?”
Some actors shook their heads and denied reality.
“Oh, I guess not. Why does a black scythe appear here?”
“okay. “There’s no guarantee that he’s the only one with a scythe.”
The two actors who were talking to each other let go of Seo Ah-rin, who was holding them, and stepped forward.
These are loyal dogs that farted loudly at Gu Yeon-seung.
“Hey, you f*cking bastard. “How did you get in here?”
“Are you the one who killed Bokchul? ok?”
Ryumin sighed and muttered.
“It looks like the situation hasn’t been assessed yet… … .”
“The cub sighs in front of us? Suddenly… … .”
Swish-
Ryumin’s scythe moved once in the darkness.
The two actors’ hair slid down.
There was no crackling sound as if tofu was being cut.
In an instant, the two people turned into corpses.
Clap-plop-clop!
“omg!”
The remaining actors were frightened and hesitated.
A look of surprise is evident on his face.
Seo Arin was no exception.
‘Are you Black Scythe? really?’
Although she was skeptical because the voices were different, Seo A-rin could not help but believe it.
The person who appeared like a prince on a white horse was the black scythe he knew.
Ryumin aimed his scythe at the remaining guys.
“It’s a hassle, so attack them all at once. “For your information, don’t even think about being a bully.”
A low voice came out from inside the mask.
“Because none of you will survive here anyway.”
