A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 29
29. Don’t blame others, Sangcheol Ahn
‘As expected, it comes out uncooperative.’
Ryu Min anticipated Ahn Sang-cheol’s reaction to some extent.
It was partly because of the future vision runes, but I was able to know clearly by reading his inner thoughts.
That he is blaming himself.
“Do you think it’s because of me that you became like that?”
“of course!”
Ahn Sang-cheol shouted as if he were having a fit.
“You ruined everything! Black scythe! “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have made that wish to the CEO!”
“A wish to make me believe in you instead of myself?”
“okay! The CEO strangely showed blind faith only in you. “It’s like believing in God!”
‘It has to be that way. In the 101st episode, Ma Kyung-rok was under mental control by Yamti.’
However, Ryu Min did not make the mistake of saying the truth out loud.
It is not a good decision to make Ahn Sang-cheol angry now.
“That’s why I made a wish to trust and rely on me instead of the black scythe. It was good at first, but the CEO couldn’t make a rational decision and appointed someone like me as co-CEO. Because of that, the company went bankrupt!”
Ahn Sang-cheol glared at Ryu Min with resentful eyes.
“This is all because of you. “I made that wish because of you!”
“Because of me, the company went bankrupt and got to this point? “It’s all my responsibility?”
“okay!”
“But if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been able to enter the Wish Room, right? “I wouldn’t have been able to live and breathe like I do now.”
“… “Tsk.”
Ahn Sang-cheol could not respond.
It’s frustrating, but it’s true.
“In the end, it was because of you that the company went bankrupt. Things have gotten to this point because you are bad at management, there is no other reason. “Wasn’t it you who made the wish?”
“no! If it weren’t for you, I would… … !”
“Stop blaming others lamely, Ahn Sang-cheol. “I’ve felt it before, but it’s sad to be second to others because of your narrow-mindedness.”
“This bastard… … .”
Looking at Ahn Sang-cheol with wide eyes, Ryu Min sighed inwardly.
I tried not to, but somehow I ended up getting more angry.
‘Cooperation has gone beyond the pale… … .’
In fact, people cannot be safe from hosts just by hiding inside their homes.
Because the host was able to somehow enter through the gap in the door through liquefaction.
‘At least the damage could be minimized if the door was properly secured… … .’
Since Ahn Sang-cheol is not cooperating, he seems to have no choice but to step forward.
‘I guess I’ll have to go to the broadcasting station to get the attention of the host and Sid.’
After making his decision, Ryu Min turned around.
There was nothing more to expect from Ahn Sang-cheol.
“Since you rejected my request, it would be right for our relationship to end here. “I don’t care whether you die or not.”
“joy. Even without your help, I’m alone… … .”
Ahn Sang-cheol’s mouth suddenly closed.
Because in the blink of an eye, the black scythe disappeared.
* * *
Ryu Min, who broke up with Ahn Sang-cheol, went straight to the broadcasting station.
“My name is Black Scythe. “I have something to say to the entire nation about the current situation.”
A man wearing a white mask and carrying a huge scythe, claiming it to be a black scythe.
Naturally, it was bound to attract the attention of broadcasting stations.
Needless to say, there was no viewership rating.
“This is important information, so it must be delivered as breaking news.”
“Now, just a moment. Have a meeting… … .”
“I don’t have time. hurry.”
Soon the broadcasting station director’s approval was given, and Ryu Min got the opportunity to speak in front of people.
“I am the black scythe. I am here to provide information to the people. First of all, the being that people are talking about is not a black shadow, but a host. “It is an alien life form that can use humans as hosts and live as parasites, and has appeared to destroy the world.”
I calmly explained the host and told him how to deal with it.
“While I deal with this guy, avoid going out and stay home as much as possible. If you wander outside, you can easily become a target for your host. “If you don’t want to die, hold your breath and wait for this situation to end.”
It did not say how long they would have to hide.
Because he didn’t know how long it would take to catch 300 hosts and 12 seeds.
‘It may take a week, but I can’t guarantee that either.’
We will try our best, but there are limits unless we can determine the location.
“… … “That’s all I have to say.”
After ending the broadcast, Ryu Min said to spread the video as much as possible so that the whole world can see it, and then took action.
At the speed of light.

└You may not be unemployed.
└But why did they invade the broadcasting area using a scythe and a mask? Isn’t that a crime?
└Leave it alone. I guess he still thinks he’s a player.
└Aren’t you doing that to attract aggro?
└What does it mean to be careful of the host? Is it okay to just stay at home?
└I’ve been doing well so far.
└These days, I can’t live because I’m scared of black shadows… .
└No, what should I do if I stay at home when my livelihood depends on it?
└The delivery industry is booming right now. In times like these, delivery workers have to come out and earn money.
└ㅇㅇ That’s right. Don’t listen to the black scythe. That’s a seed of interest.
└There are so many idiots in the room who won’t believe even if the world is destroyed.
The video of Black Scythe was quickly made into news articles, and thanks to people posting it on YouTube, it quickly spread around the world.
‘it’s okay. Although we wasted some time, we can probably slow down the damage with this.’
There was some negative public opinion, but there was no time to worry about that now.
Because we had to start removing the host right away.
‘If Ahn Sang-cheol had helped me, I could have saved more time, but I can’t help it.’
Ryumin checked the Internet to find a host.
Articles related to hosts appear from all over the world.
‘If you look at this, you can find out the host’s location.’
Previously, I captured the seed and used it as a navigation tool, but it doesn’t seem to be necessary in this world line.
Flap!
It spread its wings and flew quickly.
The first target to be dealt with was the host from South Korea.
* * *
Ryumin invested quite a bit of time into finding a host.
There was a deceptive movement ability called the speed of light rune, but since the cooldown was 1 hour, I had no choice but to fly after using it.
Let’s go!
“Keeek!”
After processing one host in Vietnam, it moved south to Malaysia.
It wasn’t difficult to find because the suffering of people being treated by the hosts was broadcast in real time.
“found.”
As soon as it discovered its host in Malaysia, it fired a bolt of lightning.
Squeeze!
I processed it all at once and moved again, looking back at the number of hosts.
‘It’s been two hours and we’ve only caught 11 fish?’
At this rate, everything should be resolved within a week, but the damage that has been done cannot be prevented.
‘Can not help it. ‘Because I’m the only one who can stop the host.’
There were posts on the Internet about sightings of a black reaper with wings.
There was also a reporter who took pictures of the moment Ryu Min dealt with the host.

└Wow, are you really going around to deal with black shadows?
└It’s not a black shadow, it’s a host.
└Ah… I thought he was a criminal, but he turned out to be a savior. I misunderstood.
└Black Scythe, please save humanity from aliens.
└Black Scythe, my god, my life, my soul, my everything.
Negative public opinion immediately changed to positive.
The black sickle was being advocated not only in Korea but all over the world.
‘Public opinion is positive. Everyone is clamoring to get rid of the host.’
Many countries are complaining about the pain caused by being a host, but since there is only one body, there is no way to do it.
‘I have no choice but to do as much as I can.’
I decided to put aside all other thoughts and focus only on saving people.
Right now, every minute and every second was a waste.
I was crossing the border of another country like that.
‘The speed of light rune cooldown has returned.’
The cooldown is back, so there’s no need to fly.
‘Use the speed of light rune.’
When you use your ability, it feels like the surroundings have stopped.
This was because it moved quickly at the speed of light.
‘I need to check the locations of hosts around the world again.’
While circling the Earth, I was trying to figure out their location once more.
‘huh?’
I found a host in a village in Taiwan.
However, what is unusual is that another being is watching from above.
‘The host doesn’t care about the host. There’s no reason to watch like that.’
Those words suggested the possibility that the being watching from the sky was Sid.
Seeds used to monitor whether the host was working properly.
‘Light speed rune, canceled.’
When time returned to normal, I read their thoughts.
Hosts and seeds look the same on the outside, but you can tell the difference by reading their thoughts.
-Kill it. human. Kill and absorb them all.
While the host has this simple idea.
-That stupid host! You killed all the humans around you! This means that you need to quickly move to another location and collect more bioenergy!
In the case of Sid, he is clearly referred to as a host and treated like a servant.
‘As expected, the guy watching from above was Sid.’
Finding the seed was a meaningful harvest.
Ryumin immediately used the lightning rune and destroyed the host below.
“W-what is it?”
When the host he was watching suddenly died, Sid in the sky was startled.
But he didn’t know.
He didn’t know that something surprising would happen to him soon.
Tsutsutsutsu-
As the surroundings suddenly darkened, Sid was astonished as never before.
“W-what is this place? “You came to a completely different space, right?”
Ryumin immediately dragged Sid into the gap in time and space.
“Why am I in the gap between time and space… … .”
“I brought you.”
Ryumin appeared in front of Sid and swung his scythe menacingly.
“I won’t listen to you verbally, so why don’t you warm up before we talk?”
In the blink of an eye, Ryumin’s scythe cut Sid’s entire body into pieces.
* * *
Sid Achirachia was very embarrassed.
‘My, I am to humans…’ Ugh… … !’
I was embarrassed to be helplessly cut down by a human, and I was embarrassed to suffer pain I had never experienced before.
Fear of death.
Akirachia painfully realized the fear that humans experience.
“Why am I trapping you in space and time and slaughtering you like this as soon as I see you?”
“Uh, uh… … .”
“I want to get an answer from you. “If you had just asked, you wouldn’t have said it out loud, right?”
“W-what do you want to know? Yes, I will tell you. Anything! instead… … .”
“You’re asking to break the chain of pain, right? I get it. “As long as you answer the questions well, they won’t bother you anymore.”
“Ah, I understand. Okay, so ask.”
Akirachia responded obediently and couldn’t even think of resisting any more.
This is because after several counterattacks, I realized that the gap between me and my opponent was like heaven and earth.
“Okay then, question. “How many of you seeds are on Earth?”
“There are twelve people.”
“It must be Marie, not Myeong.”
“… … .”
“So many people have been massacred, but how much biological energy have they collected? “How many more massacres are you planning to commit in order to collapse the world line?”
“that… … .”
Before Akirachia could reply, Ryumin’s pupils widened.
It was because his thoughts had already entered my head.
“… … “The bioenergy needed for collapse has already been collected.”
