Chapter 2269 – 2269. God’s Atlantis
The atmosphere becomes cold.
Samuel seemed to have felt it too and lifted his hand and waved it.
“Calm down. There’s a reason I can’t tell you. “I’m not just trying to steal your time.”
“What is the reason?”
The mirror asked without hiding its displeasure.
“There are many reasons, but two are the most common. One is the thrones. If the priests find out, the attempt itself may become meaningless. Of course, I don’t think you’ll make a fuss to the priests. But I believe that the gods have abilities that go beyond common sense. Even if you don’t reveal it, the possibility that you will unconsciously vote, the possibility that the new seat will take out what is in your head, etc. Is not 0%. “The safest thing is what you don’t know.”
“You overestimate the throne.”
“No. You guys are underestimating. It’s worth it. Until now, you probably haven’t seen Shinjwa actively intervene in Atlantis. Although they receive and use the power of the divine throne, they do not understand what kind of power the divine throne actually has. Now the gods will actively intervene. Don’t let your guard down.”
“…”
“The other thing is that there is a spy among us.”
Everyone’s eyes were on me. Even Elena knows my identity. I hid my embarrassment as best as I could.
“Why are you looking at me? “Do you really think I’m a spy?”
“That’s not true, but you are the strangest among us. Honestly, wouldn’t you do spying? I end up thinking this without thinking. Even if you’re a spy, oh, I see. “I would say that.”
Jewel Mask, Glitter said.
He was an unlucky bastard. You keep doing business with me, and then you doubt me.
“That guy will probably betray you just because it’s fun?”
The raccoon said to me. I could barely resist the urge to hit this shameless raccoon.
“I never said that the Heavenly Demon was a spy. “Everyone saw the Heavenly Demon, so I just saw the Heavenly Demon.”
Samuel said with a smile. This kid surprisingly knew how to play pranks.
“So who is the spy?”
I asked, hiding my frustration.
Samuel’s eyes leave me and turn to the side. Everyone’s eyes, including mine, followed him. The place where the gaze was directed was a newcomer wearing a mask with several letters drawn on it.
“I’m a spy? “I think there is something wrong.”
The letter mask was calm.
“Message. I have already completed the verification. About two months ago. Do you remember 2 months ago? “It was before you became an executive.”
“… I know that lies don’t work in this space. Say it again. I am not a spy. I wish they would stop making assumptions and pushing things that don’t work. “If Hellten’s boss cools off like that, trust falls.”
“Everything I just said is true.”
“Then you understand. “I am not a spy.”
I still looked at the letter mask with suspicious eyes. It’s the same for being careful with me from earlier. I don’t think Samuel made a mistake.
Because I know the original work, I have higher trust in Samuel. Samuel only acts when he is confident.
“That is true.”
“Okay. This area proves it. I am not a spy. I understand that you may be suspicious as I am a newbie, but please stop making unnecessary comments. Furthermore, I have no reason to betray you.”
“Do you know how the stars distinguish between truth and lies?”
“I don’t know.”
“Distinguishing stars is not omnipotent. Discrimination is based on what you are talking about. If an object is considered truth, it is truth, and if it is considered false, it is false. However, it is difficult to deceive because the unconsciousness is also included in the standard. In other words, can we say that star discrimination is like a high-level lie detector? “If you decide to deceive, there is no reason why you can’t.”
“It’s ugly. Do you really want to go that far and accuse me of being a spy? How can I make people believe that I’m not a spy?”
Click.
The letter took off its mask and revealed its bare face. He was a man with bronze skin and dark features. His black hair was dull, and his black eyes were cold and sunken.
He knew why he had been paying attention to me earlier. He was from the desert. The bronze skin proves it.
“It’s okay if you don’t take off the mask.”
“Does not matter. “I just want to escape suspicion of being a spy.”
“No, that’s not it. That face is fake anyway.”
His face becomes distorted.
“… Do it in moderation. “No matter how much I do, there is a limit to what I can tolerate.”
The killing that arises from him spreads to the surroundings. Even so, there is not a single person here who would be scared as they barely survive.
The other executives were just interested and watched Samuel and the man.
‘If I was sure he was a spy, I could just kill him.’
If I were the boss, I would have done that. Samuel was different from me.
“The name is Nathan. He is 32 years old. A continental person from the desert zone. Hunter’s son. He hunted monsters five years ago and awakened his status window and unique characteristics. Later, he signed a contract with the Goddess and began his activities outside the desert area. He joined Helten after receiving a recommendation from a colleague he once worked with. The goal is to liberate the desert area.”
“… “You know me well.”
“It was easy to research. This is the amount of information that came out in less than three days. The liberation of the desert area… Are you talking about killing the Heavenly Demon? “The Heavenly Demon now controls 15 desert areas.”
“My goal is to free the desert area. “It is not under the control of anyone, including the Heavenly Demon.”
“You want complete liberation that even God cannot control?”
“Yes.”
“Good. It’s a wonderful purpose. Except that’s not your real purpose.”
“… ?”
“I know that? In Atlantis, humans do not disappear immediately even when they die. It’s very difficult, but if you meet special conditions, you can bring back the dead. Among the gods, there are gods who have the power to control the dead or turn back time. And there are also things like this.”
He took out a pure white skull from his inventory.
“It’s something called the Skull of Advent.”
Samuel explained about the skull of Kangrim and personally confirmed the information.
「Skull of Advent
You can temporarily bring back the dead.
You must know the names and faces of the dead.
The dead can’t do anything except speak.
Number of uses remaining: 1
Rank: S”
“Originally, it can be used three times. I used number 2 personally. “I’m going to write the last one now.”
Write this.
A cool, sharp wind blew. The wind gathered around the skull Samuel was holding and turned into cloudy smoke. The smoke turned into flesh and stuck to my face.
That was Nathan’s face.
The head looks around in confusion and is shocked to see the same face in front of it.
“What, what? Why am I there?!”
“… Ooh, don’t be funny. Samuel! “I’m a dead person?!”
Samuel lifted his head. As if to answer instead. The head looked at Samuel and glared at Nathan as if he were going to kill him.
“It’s you! That fucking bastard who killed me in the desert!! Did you kill me to impersonate me?!!”
“Don’t be fooled! “I am alive like this!”
“Disgusting bastard! “Don’t play me with my face and my voice!”
“I guess you’re the one acting! Samuel! Do you think a modification like this will work?! Get rid of that unpleasant thing right now!”
“You bastard! This guy has observed me a lot! I don’t know how I act so well… There is information that only I know. If you are really me, please answer me! How did my father die?!”
“My father died while hunting a giant scorpion. Are you satisfied now?!”
Hehe. As expected, I don’t know that far. I killed my father with my own hands! That crazy guy planned to sell me out to the warlock! I killed my father and disguised myself before I was sold! Everyone was fooled because he was a hunter.”
“… !! Heh, don’t talk nonsense!”
“Even if you act like me, you don’t seem to have my memories, right? I remember your face. It was a featureless face. A face that strangely did not make you feel wary because you could see it everywhere! Do you remember? “The faces of my mother and father!”
“Of course I remember…”
Nathan stumbled, unable to answer. He rolled his eyes as if he was desperately trying to remember something, but then lowered his head and broke into a cold sweat.
“Well, I remember… I don’t remember. What do your mother and father look like? ?!”
Nathan’s face and body melt into a black liquid. There was another person inside. As the head says, a man with an ordinary face without any features.
“I don’t need this anymore.”
Samuel threw the head that was in his hand.
“Now, wait! Talk to me-.”
Puck.
The head fell to the ground and broke. The broken thing was in the form of a skull.
“…”
The featureless man inside Nathan moved quietly. A small blade popped out from his wrist, bursting with blood. The destination of the blade is Samuel’s neck.
“White.”
A masked person near Samuel moved silently. He grabs the man’s arm, twists it in the opposite direction, and kicks the man’s calf, knocking him down. The featureless man sat down without a scream. It’s not as if he doesn’t feel pain. His eyebrows are wrinkled and sweat is flowing.
Mana gathers above his head and tries to take on a certain shape.
“Lion.”
A man wearing a lion mask leaped and swung a magic-killing spear. The form could not be formed and disappeared. The man didn’t give up. He tried to force himself up with his broken leg.
“Stay still, you bastard.”
The raccoon approaches the man and hits him on the back with his small hand. His bone armor appeared and restrained the man.
