Chapter 100 – 100. The Obvious Question

-Tap. Step by step.

Blood-stained shoes soak the floor.

When they heard the sound of muddy footsteps, Kang Ji-yeon and her parents stopped talking and were silent for a moment.

Soon, Kang In-ho’s head was seen walking up the escalator.

“Whoa…”

Kang In-ho’s face was covered in blood as he sighed.

Kang Ji-yeon corrected her trembling voice and asked a question to Kang In-ho.

“Is everything… Finished?”

In a way, it was an obvious question.

In response to that obvious question, Kang In-ho calmly nodded her head and she sat down for a moment. Then he opened a can of drink he brought from downstairs and drank it.

“Done. “No one survived.”

While drinking, he casually revealed that he had indeed killed every single person left.

“Ah…”

Kang Ji-yeon couldn’t say anything. She is not a murderer, but her opponent’s reaction was so calm that she felt like she was looking at something alien.

Moreover, it wasn’t just a feeling she felt from the man in front of her.

Even though she was sure that people were dying downstairs just moments ago, Kang Ji-yeon could only feel the sentiment, ‘That’s right.’ That fact was so foreign.

Kang Ji-yeon felt that even she herself was foreign.

Yes, she changed so much in just a few days after her catastrophe.

She may have been influenced by Kang In-ho, who casually killed someone and came back drinking a can of beverage.

“There. Ji-yeon and her parents also sit down. Let’s talk.”

At that time, Kang In-ho was the first to relieve the cold atmosphere.

“Yeah, yeah…”

“Keuhum..”

Kang Ji-yeon and her parents her she reluctantly sat down after hearing Kang In-ho’s words her her her.

Kang In-ho, who was watching this, immediately crushed the empty can with his bare hands, formed it into a solid sphere, and threw it down the escalator.

It was a feat that was possible because it exceeded the strength of an ordinary person. Kang Ji-yeon’s parents were looking at her as if they were mesmerized.

Kang In-ho said as she stared at the blank wall without giving her gaze to the three people who couldn’t take their eyes off her.

“Whew. First of all, my name is Kang In-Hope.”

“My name is Kang Young-seop..”

“Well, my name is Seong Eun-hye..”

Kang Ji-yeon’s parents naturally responded to Kang In-ho’s self-introduction to her.

In response, Kang In-ho nodded her head and continued talking.

******

I’ve had a drink, recharged my sugar, and finished introducing myself. Now it’s time to have a more detailed conversation.

First, I asked Kang Ji-yeon’s parents.

“First of all, how much did you hear from Jiyeon?”

“Uh…”

“Have you heard about the gate?”

“Well, I heard about the infinite labyrinth or something.”

“Then what about night and winter?”

“I heard all that a while ago..”

“I see. “Then you know that if you want to survive, it’s better to move with me, right?”

“Well, that’s right…”

Kang Young-seop bowed his head. He seemed a little frustrated by the fact that he would just sink if I didn’t hold his outstretched hand.

I noticed it right away, but I didn’t want to relieve him of his frustration, so I spoke quietly to Kang Young-seop without showing much.

“First of all, let me make one thing clear. Actually, I don’t have much interest in these two. What is important to me is Jiyeon.”

Kang Young-seop, who had been lowering his head at my words, raised his head again. When he said that his daughter was his goal his, his feelings his his seemed to be very complicated.

So I added a little more.

“For your information, I am not saying that I want Jiyeon as a woman. They want Jiyeon as a warrior. Jiyeon is quite strong.”

“Ah…”

Kang Ji-yeon’s biological mother, who was wondering if she wanted her own daughter, lamented slightly. I’m not sure if that’s a feeling of disappointment or happiness.

Anyway, I looked away from the blank wall and slowly made eye contact with Kang Ji-yeon’s parents.

“Anyway, you two need to raise your survival level as quickly as possible and enter the labyrinth.”

“Well, isn’t survival level something that can be raised only if you have special powers? We don’t have that special power…”

Know. Those two people are non-awakened. So, if you wanted to put it in the infinite labyrinth, you had to first make it an awakened person.

“I know. “I will give each of you an appropriate ability with the abilities I have, so let’s get to survival level 5 within 3 days.”

“Ah.. I understand.”

“And inside the Infinite Labyrinth, people are already active. You two should go in and do your chores first.”

“Chore..”

“If you are confident in fighting, you can fight. But maybe… It would be safer to just live a household life. There are strange people wandering around the labyrinth I myself, so if you are slow to act or have no fighting sense, you will die quickly.”

Kang Ji-yeon’s parents nodded their heads at my words. Then, with difficulty, he opened his mouth.

“Um, um.. It’s better to let Ji-yeon live as well…”

“No.”

“Ah.. No, how well does this kid fight..”

“Jiyeon fights well. Above all… Jiyeon is like a vampire’s natural enemy.”

“Huh, vampire?”

“Jiyeon. “Didn’t you tell me about vampires?”

“Oh, that’s… Yes. Not yet.”

“Then I’ll just tell you…” “As the night and winter continue, vampires will be roaming around hunting humans in earnest.” “I’ve already met him once.”

“Wow, I ran into one… Zombies and vampires are running around…?”

“God..”

Seong Eun-hye finds God in my words and Kang Young-seop continues to wash his face dry.

It must be despairing. Me too. To be honest, it is not a level of difficulty that is survivable. It was to the point where I could understand why people became fanatics following the call of a strange being.

“Anyway, Jiyeon’s skill is the one that becomes the strongest when dealing with vampires. Therefore, Jiyeon is a fighting team.”

In any case, Kang Ji-yeon is a fighter. Unless at least part of the body is missing, she cannot support or allow someone with such abilities to live.

“I understand…”

“Jiyeon..”

“Are you okay. “I fight well, just like In-ho said..”

“Still…”

The two people show concern and sadness upon hearing that her daughter is fighting at the front.

First, I have to give those two skills first.

First, I erased the handicap of skill theft with the golden seal.

Skills can now be transferred to non-awakened people. The skill can be passed on to Saeyeon’s older sister’s Black Snake or Seunghee’s Hyojo.

‘But what should I give these people… ?’

I looked at the skills I had.

But they are all good skills, so I don’t know what to give them.

‘At least it’s gender reassignment and constitution improvement… And same-sex detection and fluid treatment… ‘

These four were skills that didn’t matter if given right away. The rest were all in good use, so it was difficult to give them away.

I just think they’ll give it to me later when I get the right skills.

“I feel like everything I need to talk about is over, so I’ll just get up.”

I stood up and said I had to move slowly. I don’t have any skills to give right now, so I’ll have to hold off for a while.

“Now I will call my companions. Unlike me, my companions are normal people, so please exchange hello…”

I opened the gate and called Saeyeon and her companions.

The group that had been planning to conquer the labyrinth since morning came out one by one at my call.

Afterwards, I introduced Kang Ji-yeon’s parents to the group. Kang Ji-yeon’s parents exchanged greetings, albeit awkwardly, and spoke clearly with them.

However, he still had an uncomfortable expression on his face. Both of them seemed to still feel sympathy for the dead people.

Yes, I guess so. Since these are people who survived together even for a short period of time, it is quite confusing. Well, neither of them argued any further. It seems like he realized there was nothing left to argue and listen to and decided to keep quiet.

“Inho. “Let’s wipe our faces.”

“Oh, yes.”

Meanwhile, Saeyeon took out a towel and wiped the blood from my face. Then she asked in a voice so low that others could not hear.

“Are you okay?”

It was an insignificant question, but it had various meanings.

I nodded as if nothing had happened. I should be okay. Because if I collapse, the team will be shaken.

“It’s okay.”

Even though I always give the same answer, Saeyeon sometimes asks me questions.

Are you okay? Every time that happened, I answered that it was okay. It’s really just a question and answer. It’s a trivial question that doesn’t need to be asked.

But I felt it was absolutely necessary.

Just in case it really wasn’t okay.

“Then, everyone gather your things in one place. Let’s shake it off quickly and leave.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.. Ugh.. Blood.”

No matter how cleanly the body disappears through spirit and body transactions, the blood stains remain.

Therefore, the party members probably had a rough idea of ​​what happened here. Still, no one said anything else. Now everyone is roughly accepting it.

If you’re surprised by one or two people dying, your mind won’t be able to handle it. So I just assumed that’s what everyone said and moved on.

Although it is impossible to understand each individual’s inner thoughts, it is fortunate that no one complains about moral hazard.

Anyway, I thoroughly raided the supermarket for about 3 hours. With this, we have been able to purchase food and daily necessities for several months.

“Then let’s all see you later.”

“Huh..! “Are you coming in early today too?”

“I’ll go in as early as possible.”

“Yes, yes.”

I sent my companions back into the infinite labyrinth. Everyone quickly finished their work and hurried inside.

In particular, Yeongsik wanted to go in. After getting a taste of exploring the labyrinth yesterday, he seems to be completely serious about conquering the labyrinth. I am diligently recording information about the labyrinth in my notebook.

It felt like I was playing a bit of a game. It’s not that bad. If it’s fun, I’m good. It’s a much better thing to do than whining about not wanting to do it.

“Okay then… Let’s move again.”

“Yes…”

“Yes..”

The only ones left outside are me and Kang Ji-yeon. And there are only Kang Ji-yeon’s parents. All the dark spirits that had been summoned were returned.

“Hmm…”

For your information, I plan to hand over the skills to Kang Ji-yeon’s parents sometime today.

‘To do that… ‘

I need to start by looking for awakened people with reasonably good skills.

In order to strengthen my companions… I had to find and kill someone else.

‘But when I thought about it… I also picked a drink that gave a skill…’

It was a random drink that tasted like bugs. Since it is only for non-awakened people, one of the two can be awakened with it.

“Huh…?”

While I was paying attention to see if there were any evil awakeners who would be okay with killing them, I heard a gate-specific sound from afar.

-Wooow…

It’s still morning. There are enough gates left.

But the problem is that something is caught in presence detection and same-sex detection.

“Everyone stop..”

I stopped my companions.

About ten people were captured.
