Chapter 164 – 164. Skip the After Party

The moment we left the house, the three of us were transported somewhere.

A light flashed for a moment, and when I opened my eyes again, it was the same place we first met. The group meeting place where Nick and Byu had a needless war of nerves.

‘Now that I’m out of the mansion… Can I kill you?’

Now that I’m out of the mansion, I pulled out a knife at my waist, wondering if I could stab and kill Nick and Meiling. Just then, a warning broadcast came out.

[It’s not over yet. Please refrain from team kills. This is a warning. Insert the knife.]

“Sheesh.”

I had no choice but to put the knife back in. Around that time, Meiling, who had heard the announcement, barely opened her eyes.

“Wooooo…”

Mei Ling, who had just woken up from her slumber, felt dizzy. She threw her head into a corner of the room where the Guernseys were meeting and began to vomit. I was so disgusted that I couldn’t get close to her, so I started talking to her pretending to be concerned. Since I have to stop throwing up in order to answer, I wondered if I would stop pouring out in response to my words.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Uhhh… Uh-wook…”

It seems that the effect of the witch parasite is quite outstanding. The child can’t use four feet. It seemed that most of his life force was being sucked up by the parasite.

Even the face shape has changed a lot. Her body was getting smaller and smaller… She was slowly turning into a cute Chinese-American woman.

‘Oh my god…’

It was a little strange that the overall shape was turning round, like an unbalanced transgender who had overdosed on female hormones. Do I have to say that my muscles are falling out and the curves of my body are increasing? It seemed that he was returning to Meiling’s body instead of Bayou’s.

“…”

Meanwhile, Nick was reading a book without moving. He is obviously resting in hiding. However, he was frozen in the posture of reading a book and could not move.

The only actively moving thing in Nick’s frozen body were his eyes. Nick’s eyes moved back and forth as he read the worm-like characters in Manti’s book.

Now Nick would be able to spend all his time eating, sleeping, and eating, and study for 10,000 hours without moving. What’s more, the book automatically opens to the next chapter, so you don’t have to lift a hand.

Parents would not have lined up if exam students and high school seniors across the country could study in this way.

A child who never eats, never sleeps, never moves, and only studies 24 hours a day.

Haha..”

I punched Nick on the head as he was eagerly reading Manti’s Book. Seeing her transform into a woman in real time while reading the book was quite amazing and funny, so I couldn’t help but hit her. Fortunately, it seemed that such an attack was not treated as a team kill.

Then the door opened and someone came inside.

It was a black man in a tuxedo.

It’s not that he’s black. His face, hands, and neck were all pitch black. Only the large, white pupils in the center of his face were white, everything else was black.

He had a look that could only be encountered on the black market.

“Congratulations on your safe return. I am Paul, the guide who will guide you to the hall. Please follow me.”

Paul bows down and greets us respectfully. I asked in a embarrassed voice at the guy’s modest greeting.

“Me, what can I do when one person can’t move?”

“Yes?”

I pointed my finger at Nick, who was absorbed in books. Then, as if embarrassed, Paul entered the room and approached Nick.

Paul looked at Nick, who was devouring Manti’s book, and looked at him as if he had no idea what the situation was. Then he tried to snatch the book and tried to get attention with a finger snap, but Nick didn’t budge.

“Did you start reading on your own?”

“Uh.. Yes. What is it?”

“Okay. We will take care of this participant. I hope that only those who can move will follow me.”

Mei Ling and I went out of the room. As we made our way out, black men dressed as bellboys entered the room and brought out the frozen Nick.

As if carrying a sculpture of great value, he brought it out carefully. Above all, there was not one black person, but four more…

“Here we are.”

We walked through the dull hallways and came to a large, ornate door. Paul, who guided us, nodded and said, “This is the end of the guide,” And went on our way again.

I opened the hall door without hesitation.

Jewelers and dolls were sitting on hundreds of chairs and looked back at us as we opened the door and entered. Like puppets, they clapped dryly without any change in expression.

– Clap clap clap clap.

“You are here at last. Mansion usurper! The one who achieved the dream of the family head! The heroes who have corrected the twisted history have arrived!!”

We were greeted by a large man in the spotlight in the halls of the hall. He asked us to come up on stage.

I didn’t quite understand what the hell was going on, so I went to the jeweler in the gothic dress who invited me to the game.

A quick scan of the seats allowed us to spot a jeweler sitting in the front seat, eagerly waving at us.

Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any traps or bad intentions. I cautiously walked to the stage of the hall.

Amid the applause of the expressionless puppets, the bell boys carrying Mei Ling and Nick followed me. I went up on the stage of the auditorium and stood quietly next to a large man.

“Congratulations. You are a nobleman who finished the dolls’ long-cherished wish.”

“Uh.. Yes.”

I nodded my head bewildered as I received the congratulations from the tall man.

“Now then, would you like to take out your signet ring and show it to me?”

“Yes.”

I took the ring off my finger and handed it to the man. The man appraised the ring with various equipment on the spot and shouted that it was genuine.

Then the dolls sitting in the hall cheered fervently and congratulated us on our achievement. I was slightly dizzy from so much attention. Then the man said to us.

To be precise, it wasn’t Mei-Ling, who was half-sitting, and Nick, who was lying on the stage floor without a slight movement, reading a book.

“You have a choice. Put this ring up for auction or appoint a new owner.”

“Uh… An auction?”

“Let me explain briefly. If the ring is put up for auction, the people gathered here will compete for the ring. They would each give up their precious things to get the ring. Maybe I’ll give it my all. We value them and give you the item with the highest price.”

“Aha.. Divide it into thirds and share it.”

“You’re right. Conversely, if you choose a new owner… You can give the ring to the jewelers who invited you here. Three jewelers dividing ownership of the ring into thirds. They will probably give you a fair reward. Maybe not. Now, what would you like to do?”

As soon as the dealer finished talking, a voice appealing to him erupted from the seat.

“Put it up for auction!!! Then I’ll hand over my airship!!!”

“Okay!! Put it on auction!!! I can give you anything you want!!!”

There was an uproar. Even the non-jewelry dolls raised their hands and started screaming. What on earth is this ring, why is everyone hanging there?

I pondered for a moment. If the ring is put up for auction, the ring will go to the highest bidder among the dolls in the hall. Then me, Nick, and Mei-Ling will take over the reward he suggested and it will be over.

Maybe that would be even bigger than inviting a jeweler to our base.

“Hey! June!!!”

Then I heard a voice calling me eagerly from the front seat. It was ‘my jeweler’ in a gothic dress.

Her eyes met hers, and I smiled at her and walked toward my jewelry store, ignoring all her other cries and voices. Then he asked, looking down at her from the stage.

“You. I will work hard!”

“24/7!! I can’t even sleep!!”

Haha! Great.”

I told the dealer.

“I will appoint a new owner. The auction is over.”

The moment I finished speaking, I thought there was a riot in the hall. There was a lot of screaming and shouting and a few bastards talking about killing me.

Of course, most of them were stopped by black people who looked like Paul.

“I respect your choice. I don’t know if that choice is correct or not. I really like it. Alright then, let’s get out of here. You worked hard… Cultist.”

The dealer sent us backstage. Mei-ling, Nick and the three jewelers made their way out of the hall.

******

We were now in a place called the business room. There was a round table with six chairs placed in pairs.

Naturally, I sat down with my jeweler, Nick was nursed by the jeweler in an all-white dress, and Meiling was being scolded by the jeweler in a punk dress.

Haha! Haha!!! It’s amazing!!”

The jeweler just laughed without changing his expression and slapped me on the back.

“Well, it was easy.”

Haha!! Aiming! You really are a born cheater. I think I was really, really good at choosing you.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

I smiled shyly at the jeweler’s praise and rubbed the tip of my nose. Then the jeweler in a pure white dress screamed.

“Are you laughing now!? Shit!! You…! If you think you will be safe even after doing this, you are very mistaken!!”

“Ah. Yes what You must be. Who is it?”

“Quaaaaa!!!”

A hysterical pure white dress. I’m not a sweet guy who accepts the bitch’s hysteria, so I ignored her words. If you twist it, you will attack it. Judging by how he can’t fight, he’s a dick.

While I was thinking such useless thoughts, this time a jeweler in a punk dress started talking to me.

“Hey, cultist. By any chance… Is there any way… To get this guy back?”

“Yes? How to turn back into a man? That’s kinda…”

“No.. A way to get my memory back.”

“Uh… I’m not really sure about that.”

“Haa.. I see… Meiling!! You stupid bastard!!”

A punk dress that mistreats Meiling again. There really is no mess.

“But how long will we be here?”

“Uh… Maybe I’ll just have to wait a bit until I break the ring into three pieces.”

“Aha. But looking at it earlier, everyone seems to be crazy about the ring.

“Um… If you have the family head’s signet ring… You can control the puppets born from his hands. The dolls born from his hands can gain true freedom if they get the ring.”

“Huh.. If I gulp that ring… Would all the jewelers become my subordinates?”

“It is not. If you don’t have the level to command, you should have a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck.”

“Okay..”

“Whoa, whoa… Anyway, since I got the signet ring… Now I’m free. I threw away my destiny, mission, and fate and became a free body. Thanks to you.. Thank you, Joon.”

The jeweler crossed his arms and rubbed his face on my shoulder. He seemed in a pretty good mood. I thought it was an opportunity and asked a question that might be a little sensitive.

“By the way… The doll that became the daughter of the head of the household at the end… Who is that? Are you among the jewelers?”

“Huh? Original?”

“Yes. The soul of the daughter of the family head.. It’s original.”

“She’s… Gone.”

“Yes?”

“It is gone. I don’t know where it went. After learning how to make dolls from the householder, she… Made a bunch of ‘sisters’ like us and various works, then scattered us in different dimensions and disappeared. When we tried to find the Mansion again after we became fully self-conscious… The Mansion was abandoned on the edge of the Void for some reason. I don’t know the sequence, the reason, or the cause. There are only results left.”

“Huh… Then… What I did… Actually affected the history of the past… And the mansion’s time zone is looping… Uh again…”

“Stop! It’s not very important, so just forget about it! More than that, the fact that we are now eating together is a really important story!! For now, let’s just congratulate each other! I am free! Because you got the damn me!!”

“Uh. Hehe… That’s right. By the way, did something become very bright?”

“Of course! Because today is a happy day!”

Soon Paul entered the room we were in and handed the broken ring to the three dolls. After receiving the ring, we stood at the door to go back to our respective homes.

“Definitely… I will never forget this.”

The pure white jeweler left those words and dragged Nick away. I think we’ll meet again someday… Then I’ll smash it with my own hands.

“Uh.. Everything, let’s meet again next time..”

Mei Ling promised her an unexpected reunion to herself, and she was caught and dragged away by a jeweler in a punk dress. Meiling… I just wish you good bye forever…

“Then shall we go too?”

“Yes. It’s home after a long time.”

Finally we went through the gate. Holding onto the hand of the jeweler who tapped my hand.

Finally go home To my house full of my women… Overflowing with milk and honey.
