Chapter 351 – Kim Katt and the Forty Bandits

About an hour after breakfast. As we were climbing the mountain with silence, an adventurer shouted as if he had found something on the other side.

ㅡBrush, rustle!

Then an unnatural sound rang out. It was clearly the sound of running away. I also checked, but at first glance, the back of the fugitive was more like a person than a monster.

Bandit!

“You bitch!”

I can’t forgive you for daring to turn your back on me.

It was very surprising that I was maintaining my reasoning now, to run away as soon as I found the owner after destroying a person’s armor in that way.

If you’re a bandit, that’s fine.

Catch and interrogate

“You must catch it!”

ㅡHeavenly Demon Reign.

In order to respond to the merchant who shouted at his throat, he immediately cast his ultimate footwork and chased after him.

ㅡQuaang!

The legs, which are made of fluctuating mana and strong muscles trained to the limit, shoot out the body while stepping on the advance like thunderbolts. I feel the power of the Precambrian for the first time in a while.

This is Runner’s High…!

“On the other side! It’s on the other side too!”
“Follow me!”

It seems that there is also a fugitive on the other side, but I can’t care about that.

I wondered if there was a trap or something. I ran with my sword aiming at the gap between the floor and the tree. It wasn’t a particularly dense forest, and the ground was hard, so there didn’t seem to be any traps.

“Hey, hey! There! If you’re not a bandit, stop! We’re adventurers!”

The guy was right.

I noticed it and shouted out of courtesy, but I ignored it and ran away. Even if you’re not a bandit, it’s okay to run away if someone chases you with a knife.

ㅡ Hurry up!!

As I speeded up a little, the distance between him and the guy instantly narrowed. It’s a natural story. Because there’s no way a normal person can survive the death marathon with me.

“The mangtae grandpa is going to catch it!!!!!!!!!!”
“Uhhhhh!!!! What are you!!!”
“Kim cut drop keyeeeee!!!!”

ㅡ Booung!

My body was shot with a familiar feeling of floating. It would be unfair if it wasn’t a bandit, but I had no choice but to subdue it, so I asked for forgiveness and kicked.

ㅡPeruk!

“Keukhak!”

ㅡQuaang!

When the drop kick landed, he let out a scream and flew forward, rolling over and crashing into a tree. After landing safely, I immediately ran to him and shoved the blade into his neck and yelled at him.

“You bastard! You’re a bandit. No! Answer me!”

Judging by the look of the guy who was holding his head his, he looked dirty and evil from head to toe, making it look like a typical bandit bastard.

“You bastard, what are you doing! Ha ha…!”
“Fuck! Don’t talk bullshit, answer me! Are you a bandit! Are you a bandit!”
“My, what kind of bandit am I, you crazy bastard!!! Don’t go away!”

Seeing how he uses evil spirits even when a knife comes into his throat, it’s not that he’s not fearful, but that he’s just a dumb kid. He said It’s usually bandits with bad brains.

You bastard… This is so fucking suspicious.

Doubts are growing.

“Why are you running away when you’re not a bandit!! This bastard is suspicious!”
“Then, if they’re chasing you, you’ll have to run away! They’re coming with a knife! Put away this knife, you idiot! I’m an adventurer!”
“This bastard doesn’t make sense.”

Even though I kicked first, I got angry because he didn’t cooperate even when I put a knife. Angry, I immediately twisted his arm as I raised him to his feet.

“Kkeu, kkeuhak! Don’t do this! Apat! It hurts!”
“Be quiet. Calm down. You can really break it.”

In that state, I gave him a little more strength, and he began to be polite.

“Hee! Don’t do this!”

You’re cooperating now.

I transported him with his arm broken.

“Okay. I’ll check it out and release it if it’s not a bandit. Hang on a minute, bastard. Things like this happen in life. Please cooperate.”
“It’s not…! I’m not a bandit!”
“That’s a bastard. You have to investigate to know.”

Around that time, the adventurers who followed me belatedly greeted me.

“Oh, you caught it. I thought it was a wolf because it was so fast.”
“I’m a little fast. I’ve been living in rough land.”

Certainly my speed was superior. I ran past them all.

Like a duckling that saw its mother’s foie gras pulled out, the quacking bastard was terrified and transported to the merchant, and then other adventurers from the other side caught the bastard who had fled to the other side.

“Hey, release this! I’m an adventurer!”

Dozens of adventurers surrounding the captives had already drawn their swords.

Seeing her trying to show off her cooking skills right now, it seemed like she had come to some kind of dark cooking contest. Like these crazy cook-killer dragons.

“Why are you doing this to us! Set me free!”

Of course, there is a possibility that they are not bandits as they say.

However, this is the point where the bandits appeared. It is inevitable that the guys hanging around there are suspicious bastards.

It is natural for adventurers to become extreme.

“Can’t we just kill these bastards?”
“First, extract the information and kill it.”
“Good idea.”

As if the adventurers were already planning to torture them, they spat out a word and approached them. The merchant is also looking down with a solemn expression with his arms crossed, perhaps thinking the same thing.

“Wait a moment.”

Elise stopped it.

“It’s true that these people are suspicious, but that doesn’t mean they’re banditry, so it’s not right to use violence indiscriminately.”

That’s right.

I’m thinking that I should interrogate them first before torturing them. After hearing that, one adventurer expressed a question.

“It’s the nun who was in the back. Of course, what the nun said is correct, but is there another way? These guys are definitely bandits under the circumstances.”

When Elise opened her mouth to answer, the restrained one had a seizure again.

“I’m not a bandit! Solve this! Fuck! I won’t! I’m an adventurer! Don’t do this!”

Why do you keep repeating your name?

If you don’t cooperate in this situation, the only ending is to be beaten to death.

“Shut up! I’m sure it’s a bandit, seeing this bastard fucking!”
“Let’s kill it!”

The adventurers who saw that foolish look seemed to be annoyed and tried to run amok while swearing. Elise stopped it.

“Calm down. It’s not too late to start with a simple interrogation. Merchant, have you seen this guy’s face in the last raid?”
“…None.”
“Then it’s not clear that these guys are bandits, so let me interrogate you for a moment. Would that be all right?”
“…Go ahead. Since Sister says so, let me give you a moment.”

When the merchant’s permission fell, the adventurers retreated as if there was nothing they could do.

They surrounded Elise and the two imprisoned behaving suspects and watched the interrogation while vigilantly.

“Bandits are rampaging nearby, so I had no choice but to deal harshly with you who showed suspicious behavior. I’ll apologize for that. Of course, if it’s not a bandit, I’ll release it.”
“…”
“…”

Elise’s two polite hands closed her mouth.

“It’s a simple question. Who are you?”
“…The adventurer.”
“I see. Do you have any cards?”
“I lost my hand.”
“What level of adventurer are you?”
“F-class, F-class adventurer.”
“What brought you here?”
“Go to work… Oh, I’m not a fucking bandit… Sister. Don’t do this. I’m not a bandit.”

The interrogation went like that.

They seemed reluctant to answer if they were stabbed.

As expected, there was no way to know the truth because he did not use violence. It seems that Elise has other thoughts… But slowly, the adventurers are getting frustrated.

“Bastard. Aren’t you a bandit just by looking at it?”

Winia said that, perhaps feeling frustrated.

“It is, but I’m not sure.”

Elise, like me, has principles, so she does n’t kill just because of her heart her.

Hmm…

Let me just try

“Elise. Move aside for a moment. I’ll do it. So there’s no end.”
“Okay. If you’re a saint, there’s nothing to worry about.”

I switched to Elise and stood in front of them. Then he stuck her knife her, which had n’t yet been drawn, into her floor her and said in a menacing tone.

“Hello friends? What are our friends names?”
“…”
“…”

No words.

“Ah, haircut. I’m doing this because of bandits, but they’re not cooperating. If you don’t want to talk, I have no choice but to torture you, you bastard. It’s not good for your health when it’s cold.”
“Car, it’s Carter! I’m Carter!”
“My name is Dorit!”
“Great.”

After all, there is nothing easier to move people’s hearts than blackmail.
They answered right away.

“Then Carter and Dorit. Let me ask you one question. Do you two know each other?”

When I asked, the two of them tried to check each other’s faces, so they immediately pulled out their hair.

“Kuk!”
“Don’t notice.”

He continued talking while cutting his beard with a drawn knife. It was an act to intimidate, but as if it worked well, the two terrified guys answered at the same time.

“Mo, I don’t know! I don’t know!”
“I don’t know!”

I don’t know… What were the two strangers doing in the mountains?

Did you two meet through a random chat?

Or did you hide the player’s information?

“I don’t know you? I don’t know you, so why are you two here?”
“That, that’s…”
“Coincidence! I didn’t know the author was here. He just ran after you guys! I swear by my father’s name!”

Seeing that he does not have a conscience enough to sell his father his, he it seems like a bandit.

“Okay, let’s say it’s a coincidence. But you said you two are F-class adventurers, right? If you two don’t know each other, it means you’ve come all this way alone, but why the hell did you come alone?”

It’s dangerous.

“I’m here to catch goblins!”
“I’m here to catch kobolds… I’m not really a bandit! Set me free, please!”
“If you answer well, they’ll let you go after a while, you bastard. Yes, you went hunting? Did you get a quest?”

To my question, the two answered that they hadn’t received any specific quests, and that they were out hunting alone because they couldn’t find a party.

What a coincidence.

F-class adventurers, despite the rumors that bandits were in motion, they came alone to a place that took a day on foot to hunt kobolds and goblins.

And coincidentally, despite not knowing each other, they were at close range. Even though the two were so close, they said they didn’t even know each other existed.

However, the purpose is similar, and surprisingly, both are equally unloaded.

If you walk for more than a day and then walk again for a day, you need at least one backpack.

Is there a base somewhere?

“What kind of coincidence is that? Dark-haired guy. It’s like a goblin. These bastards are bandits. It’ll be quicker to just cut their arms and legs and ask.”

With that sorted out, a lesser martial artist stepped forward and spoke.
Of course I am of the same opinion.

“Really! What a coincidence!”
“Seriously! We’re not bandits!”
“We? We don’t know each other, so why do you say we? Have you become close?”

As I pointed it out, silence fell.

Oh fuck

Then it is. There’s no way an innocent person could be hanging around in a place like this. Above all, it was the place where the raid had once occurred. It is not an accident to find them.

These guys are just scouts for bandits.

I spread my palms to the merchant who was about to issue a murderous order and gave him a round of applause to ventilate his surroundings.

And say

“Here is a liar who only tells lies and a truthful man who only tells the truth.”
“Bastard? What the hell are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Listen.”

It’s a logic problem called Angels and Demons.

Roughly speaking, an angel and a devil who look identical like twins appear before the gates of heaven and hell, the angel speaks the truth and the devil speaks lies.

It is a matter of finding the gate of heaven by asking these two questions.

Heaven if you answer correctly. Hell if wrong. Well, like this.

“Anyway. There’s a logic problem where one tells the truth and the other tells lies. I’m going to use that to solve the problem from now on.”

If you use this, you can easily solve this bandit problem. As I spoke while keeping my form, everyone showed interest and listened to what I had to say.

“Now, let’s think about it. We have to interrogate the two to find out the truth. First of all, there are propositions, so let’s examine them one by one.”

From now on, Kim Katt’s brain is fully functional.

“So, to solve that problem…”

By the way.

“Oh shit.”

I can’t think of a way

“Okay. This.”

Fuck I forgot

“I forgot, sir.”

At most, when he said that with all eyes focused on him, Winia became stunned, and Elise made a strange expression. And the adventurers erased their interest and took out their own daggers and knives.

Fuck you!

How dare you give me a dog like this!

“Oh shit! Hey! Say it right! Asurapa Blood Fist!”

ㅡQuaang!

Enraged, I impulsively pierced the bandit’s face with the Asurapa Blood Fist.

“Khaaaaa!!!”
“Huhhhhh!!!”

Immediately, screams erupted with red blood.

“Haaaaagh!!! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you so don’t hit me!”

That’s right, you bastard.

It wasn’t angels and demons, it was simple demons and demons.

This doesn’t solve the problem, damn it.
