Episode 141
141.CPF
Everyone has a dream.
Everyone must have had a time when they stayed up all night, devoted their passion, and persevered to achieve their dreams.
Kang Si-hyuk, a police officer at Gangnam Police Station, said that.
When I was young, I devoted myself to the police civil service exam, even saving time to eat.
The driving force behind never giving up no matter how many hardships I faced was my childhood dream of becoming a detective.
‘My dream was to become a just police officer who catches criminals like the cool detectives in the movies.’
Because I had that dream, I was able to pass the exam after failing twice and come to this position… … .
In reality, what was waiting for him was not a detective, but a traffic police officer who cracked down on drunkenness.
That was the norm.
To an ordinary police officer who studied hard.
‘But I also got a chance.’
On January 1st, he could not help but despair as he participated in the angel’s game called the Great Revolution or Catastrophe.
‘I worked hard to become a police officer, but I thought it would end like this.’
However, talent shines the moment you don’t even know it.
Surprisingly, Kang Si-hyuk, who showed a talent for hunting monsters and using skills and runes, survived until the 9th round.
And now, he has been selected as a member of the newly created counter player force led by the government, commonly known as CPF (Counter Player Force).
This is the person who was just given a breathalyzer test at the traffic department.
‘They say that if you don’t give up, a path will open one day, but the catastrophe actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise.’
I don’t know what others may think, but for Kang Si-hyuk, this was at least his prime.
It was a chance to realize a dream and a fortune that comes only once in a lifetime.

Kang Si-hyuk opened the door and entered the CPF’s temporary gathering center and saw five people sitting looking at their cell phones.
“Oh, hello! “My name is Kang Si-hyuk, a 28-year-old police officer who transferred from the Gangnam Police Station!”
“There’s no need to be so enthusiastic. “Because we are all police officers.”
“Yeah, really?”
Kang Si-hyuk touched the back of his head as if embarrassed.
“Nice to meet you. This is Min Tae-su from Daegu Central Police Station. He’s 29 years old.”
“This is Hwang Man-gi from the Guri Inchang District. “I’m 28.”
“This is Go Nam-cheol from the Busan Southern Police Station. I’m 29 years old. “Should I tell you my level and job?”
“Huh, Busan?”
After listening to the introduction, it turned out that they were people from all over the country.
It is said that some of them are unable to find a room and are staying in hotels because they have been urgently appointed.
Of course, it was forced, but no one complained.
Because they were not satisfied with their position as police officers.
“It’s an opportunity for us. “When will you ever work in a special unit like this?”
“that’s right. “I was lamenting that it would take five years before we caught criminals, but who would have thought that an opportunity like this would come?”
“I thought it was strange that I was lucky to become a player?”
Although it was a hectic climb, everyone knew what kind of unit the CPF was.
“A unit that kills criminal players. Wow, isn’t it really cool?”
“I heard that they don’t kill you all the time, but only when it’s dangerous?”
“That’s it, whatever.”
“The world has changed so much. “Conservative government figures allow summary disposition.”
“Doesn’t that mean the world has become very dangerous?”
“But the number of players will be reduced by half anyway, right? “It will disappear even if you don’t step forward, so why create a unit like this?”
“Even if the number of players decreases, a threat is still a threat.”
“Hey, did you say Kang Si-hyuk? We are all of the same class, so please feel free to talk. If you think about it, the salary level is different, but didn’t you come here as a member of the lowest-ranking unit? “We’re roughly the same age, in our late 20s, right?”
“Oh, is that so? haha.”
The six police players quickly became friends.
We had a lot in common and had similar interests in catching criminals, so we talked well.
“hello. Is this a CPF temporary gathering place?”
“hello.”
Additionally, reserve unit members arrived one after another.
They were also one of the few remaining police officer players in the country and had similar intentions and interests.
“They’re all similar, right? “I want to kill criminals.”
“Honestly, as a public figure, I shouldn’t say this, but when I see things that don’t seem human, what can I say, the desire to kill rises?”
“So do you? “I also saw the victims wailing when they came to the police station. It really felt like my blood was rushing to my stomach.”
“People who don’t even seem like humans have become players and are behaving like monsters, so this new unit was created.”
“Anyway, who is our unit commander?”
“well? “Has anyone heard any news?”
“I don’t have any.”
“Does our unit have a unit commander?”
“It’s a military unit, so of course there is.”
“Wasn’t it a choice among us?”
“How do I pick it? Rock, paper, scissors? “Tsk tsk.”
“I’ll select you as one of the executives who graduated from the police academy, right?”
“Then, he must be a lieutenant, so are there any surviving executives among the players?”

The unit members were curious about the unit commander who would lead them.
They just told us to gather here by 8 p.m., but we didn’t hear any details.
“I hope you’re not just an old guy.”
“There’s no way he’s an old guy. “If you’re a player, you’re probably under the age of 29 like us.”
“Oh, I guess so.”
“Why do you guys assume that the unit commander is a player? “It could be an ordinary person.”
“Oh, that’s not right. “The unit members are players, but the executives are ordinary people?”
“Then I will definitely follow the control.”
I guessed that he was a player, but I had no idea about anything else.
“But how many surviving police players are there across the country?”
“Surely this isn’t everything?”
“Oh, that can’t be possible.”
That’s when 10 players think so.
“You are everything.”
The heads of the unit members turned to one direction at the sound of a third person’s voice.
Slurp-
A man appeared out of thin air, wearing a white mask and looking at them.
“omg! what? Invisibility?”
“I didn’t feel like I was popular at all?”
“What are you?! who is this!”
“How long have you been there?”
“Ever since a while ago. “I was watching every word I said.”
Ryumin answered and walked steadily.
The players couldn’t take their eyes off Ryu Min, who suddenly appeared.
Some were on alert and ready to put on their gear at any time.
It was a natural reaction.
Because he was a suspicious man whose face was covered with a white mask.
Ryumin looked back at his unit members and said.
“There is nothing to be so wary of. “Because I am the commander you have been waiting for.”
-Commander… … ?
-That person?
I told the truth, but no unit member accepted it as is.
At first, I was suspicious.
What kind of unit commander in the world covers his face with a mask?
Unless you go crazy.
“Hmm, you have an untrustworthy face. Of course, it would look strange if you showed up wearing a mask.”
“Are you really the commander of our unit?”
“Why are you wearing a mask?”
“I don’t want to sell my face. “For your information, I have permission from the police chief, so don’t think about doing anything else.”
The unit members secretly sighed.
Some people were already lamenting in their hearts that a strange unit leader had been caught.
-How famous is he that he hides his face?
-So does that mean we can sell our faces?
-It’s so ridiculous.
It created a bad image from the first impression.
Well, it didn’t matter.
‘It doesn’t matter how these guys see me. What matters is how well you catch criminals.’
In the first place, Ryu Min only visited briefly to say hello and to train and teach them.
I had no intention of spending all day here like a 5-minute standby.
‘Those who don’t listen should at least be taught to beat them.’
Since he was the top boss here, no matter what he did, there was no problem.
There is even a police commissioner who is reliable and listens well.
Above all, Ryu Min could see the future seven seconds in the future.
Because I knew what kind of reaction I would get when I revealed my nickname, I wasn’t too worried about my image.
“Let me formally introduce myself. The nickname in this world is Black Scythe. The job is Reaper and the level is 89. As you can see, I cannot tell you the true identity of reality, so please understand.”
“Well, the black scythe… … ?”
“Could it be that black scythe?”
The players were surprised and embarrassed at the same time when they heard the unexpected nickname.
The nickname that ranks first in every tally is Black Scythe.
Because the level is so high, it is already called a monster among players.
How can one not be surprised when someone claims to be such a famous person?
Perhaps that’s why there were looks of disbelief.
Go Nam-cheol, who came from Busan, did that.
“Commander. I know it’s rude to first meet, but can you prove it? “Because it’s such a hard story to believe.”
“I think you need to correct your dialect first. “Since I came to Seoul, I need to know how to speak standard language.”
“Don’t quietly avoid asking questions.”
“You want proof?”
Looking at other people, they all feel the same way.
There was suspicion that it might not be an impersonation of the Black Scythe.
“It’s proof… … “Is this enough?”
A scythe was held in Ryumin’s hand.
A large scythe that exceeds the height of the Shinigami’s trademark.
But the players’ doubts still did not go away.
“Can’t you buy a sickle at a store?”
“uh? “Were there any scythes in the store?”
“Really? “I didn’t know that until now.”
“It wasn’t there originally, but it appeared when I got to expert level.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Then we can’t conclude that he was carrying a scythe.”
The crew whispered and looked at Ryumin.
Still a look of suspicion.
‘Can’t we prove it with a weapon now?’
Of course, this can be solved by handing the scythe and having the person read the information.
Because he was holding a weapon that could only be worn by master level or higher.
‘Then at least you will believe that I am a strong person over level 60.’
But Ryumin had no intention of handing over the scythe.
It’s not that I’m worried about it being taken away, but it just doesn’t look good.
‘If you think about it, these guys are my subordinates. There is no reason to prove it by giving me a sickle.’
Since he is the commander in name, he needs to show strong charisma.
First impressions are important when looking at people in the future.
‘I have to prove that I am the Black Scythe and make a strong impression.’
How can I kill two birds with one stone?
There was a simple way.
“If you don’t believe me, do it like this. “You are dueling with me.”
“duel?”
“Once you reach level 60, you can reach master level. Then, the function called duel request will be unlocked. “It’s a function that allows you to duel with something at stake, but as I said, only I, level 89, can use this function.”
“That doesn’t prove it’s a black scythe, does it?”
“No, I can prove it. You would know this if you saw the results. There is a huge gap in levels between 1st and 2nd place in all regions. Currently, there is only one Black Scythe in the world with a Master rank. So, if there is someone who can use the duel request function, it should be considered Black Scythe.”
“But we can’t guarantee that requesting a duel is a feature that appears at level 60, right?”
“Well, you will find out when you reach level 60, but if you don’t trust me, let’s stick together. Honestly, you’re not curious about whether I’m a black scythe or not, right? He just wants to know whether I am qualified to be the commander of the unit and whether I am stronger or weaker than him. is not it?”
“… … .”
Although they were silent with stern faces, the unit members were secretly surprised.
It was because I had no idea that he would speak so bluntly, rather than the fact that his true feelings were revealed.
“Then who will bat first?”
“… … .”
“doesn’t exist? don’t worry. If conditions are mutually agreed upon, there will be no death due to a duel. That’s the characteristic of the duel request function. Of course, since it only applies to the dueling parties, you can die from someone else’s attack.”
“… … .”
“So, nothing? “Someone who will fight me.”
The police officers just looked at each other.
“If I don’t have one, I’ll assume you recognize me as a black scythe… … .”
At that time, the first applicant appeared.
“I will try it.”
It was Go Nam-cheol, the Busan man who had made a fuss about Ryu Min.
