Chapter 2487 – 2487. The Devil’s Game

Call!

I opened my eyes.

It wasn’t school. A dark, empty house. It was the house I was squatting in.

‘I’m back… !’

I was so moved that I belatedly checked my body. There is no scar on the left arm where there should be one. The same goes for slightly burned skin. My body was fine.

‘… Was it a dream? No, it was too vivid to be a dream. It still comes to mind now. Shin Do-hyun… Candidate for my girlfriend.’

I want to meet Shin Do-hyun. The problem is that there is no way to meet Shin Do-hyun. Shin Do-hyun said she didn’t say anything about herself.

Burrr.

The smartphone vibrated.

‘At this time… Do they loan sharks? I blocked those guys right away. Did you change the number and send it?’

When I checked, they weren’t loan sharks.

“Hello, Seong Yujin. This is Team Leader Kim of Devil Capital.

We would like to inform you that customer Yujin Seong has won the event.

The winning prize of 30 million won will be deposited into your account.

“This is money that has had minor taxes processed, so you can use it as you wish.”

‘Devil Capital? What are you doing here? Who else is kidding?’

On the one hand, I was looking forward to it. What if what I just experienced was not a dream but reality? What if the reward is 30 million won?

‘Now is the time…’ 12:01. I was there for 3 hours… Has no time passed at all?’

When I realized that fact, I was so shocked that my hands were shaking.

“30 million won has been deposited from Devil Capital.”

After about 5 minutes, a message appeared.

‘Oh, maybe the deposit was received a little late because it was bank inspection time.’

I thought about it calmly, but then I was surprised.

‘The deposit was actually made!!’

30 million won! How much money is this? I swallowed hard. Since I became a debtor, my bank balance has never exceeded 1 million won. When the salary was deposited, the loan sharks noticed like ghosts and sent gangsters to rob them.

‘… Even if I didn’t want to repay, I had no choice but to repay.’

What should I do with this money?

Although 30 million won was a lot of money, it was far short of repaying the debt. To repay the debt, it must be more than 4 times.

I suddenly felt bad.

What would you do if you had 30 million won? My life is still an abyss.

‘I am a murderer. The police must be chasing me.’

Even if I repay the debt to the loan shark, my life is ruined.

‘Change your life? Fuck you. How can you change your life with 30 million won? What are you saying, go to the casino with 30 million won?’

I jumped up from my seat.

I had 30 million won, but I didn’t want to sleep in a shabby house like this.

‘Let’s go to a 5-star hotel. Hundreds of thousands of won per night is crazy, but… I can do crazy things now.’

You never know when you might be arrested by the police. So I spent all my money before I was arrested.

‘I tried to go to Pakchon, but… I can’t go because I’m afraid of Shin Do-hyun. Let’s give Shin Do-hyun my sympathy. Uh, wait. If I get caught by the police, I can’t date Shin Do-hyun?’

This is unexpected.

Even though I was worried, I headed to a nearby 5-star hotel. I called a taxi, and it arrived in less than 30 minutes.

‘Is this a room worth 500,000 won per night? It’s gorgeous.’

After enjoying the night view of Seoul, which I could never dream of, I fell into bed. My body was fine, but my mind was exhausted. I fell asleep within seconds from the feel of the soft bed.

The next morning.

When I woke up, I turned on the TV feeling awkward.

‘Is it going to be on the morning news because it’s a murder case? Only one murder case appears in the news… Isn’t it a bit over the top?’

While flipping through the morning news channels, I came across a news story about a murder case.

-A murder occurred here in a semi-basement studio.

The building shown on the news was the building I lived in until yesterday.

I got nervous without realizing it and swallowed dry saliva.

-Victim A was killed by being stabbed in the neck with a kitchen knife at the entrance. The body was discovered by Mr. A’s friend around 10pm last night and reported to the police…

Fuck. Fucked. Now my face will appear on the news screen. And the hotel will report it to the police. I need to get out of this hotel quickly. I packed my bag first. Even if it was a small burden, it was wealth.

-The culprit was Mr. B, a drunk passerby. Mr. B woke up early in the morning and handed himself over to the police.

“What?”

I stared blankly at the news. Is what I just heard correct? Are you talking about another murder case? That being said, I was certain that the building on the news was where my house was located. The body stabbed in the neck is also clearly Mr. A.

‘I said it would change your life. … ‘They’re really going to change it like this?’

Reality has been manipulated.

If you think about it, moving to another space all of a sudden was nonsense. It doesn’t make sense that there were clones of the killer Jang Hwi-chun swarming there.

I felt like I had come up from the abyss to the ground.

Of course, not everything in my life has changed. I secretly unblocked the loan shark and checked the messages, but the debt still remained.

「Seong Yujin. Where are you? “Where did you go when you didn’t go to work at the factory, you bastard?”

“The factory boss is mad because you don’t come to work. The damage the factory suffered because of you will be deducted from your salary.”

“You bastard! A murder occurred in front of your house. Where are you?”

“What? “You fucking think I won’t be able to find it?”

“Contact me before I find you and kill you. It’s your last chance.”

‘I need to kill this bastard.’

Pay off your debt? Why me? Even if I kill someone, I can change it to not killing them?

‘You just have to participate in the devil’s game again. And just survive like yesterday. Then the murder case will also be buried. Like now.’

I sat on the bed and laughed. My body started to feel excited. My life was really changing. A life where it is okay to commit murder and even receive money.

‘Honestly, I’m still a little scared… You just have to survive the devil’s game. Jang Hwi-chun. There was nothing wrong with that guy either.’

And this time, I also discovered my abilities and talents. Talent is about fighting, ability is…

Concentrate while watching the news. As I concentrated to my limit, time began to slow down at some point.

‘It’s not the body, but the mind that has become faster. In this state, my body reacts slowly, and I can’t control it as I want.’

However, there was no ability as good as this that required quick judgment.

A smile continues to form on my face. I became special. It became very special. I feel like I am the main character of this world.

‘The devil’s game… Is it really the devil changing my life? I guess I should try believing in religion. Satanism. Is there any demonic interference?’

• • •

I stayed at a hotel. There was also a gym, so I was able to get in shape a little bit in preparation for the next game.

I want to kill the loan sharks… I was still a little scared. Private loan shark Pang Cheon-su. He doesn’t walk alone. He always carries around his subordinates. I heard he was the boss of a small gang.

「Seong Yujin. I know everything is in the hotel. If you have money to stay at a hotel, you should pay back my money first, you idiot!”

My location was discovered within half a day.

I don’t know how he found out my location, but he had great skills.

‘Ha, what would you do if you knew my location? Come in? ‘Strong losers?’

This is a 5-star hotel. It is also a top-class hotel with a large corporation in the background. A thug comes in here? Is it possible? At that moment, the hotel’s image will be ruined, and the hotel will be so angry that it will retaliate against Pang Cheon-soo.

‘That’s why they threaten you with messages. Normally, this guy is the type of guy who sends a bully and starts off by scaring you before he threatens you.’

He can’t do that now.

I grinned and moved my fingers. I was thinking of sending a message and doing teabagging.

‘I’m not going to leave the hotel until the next game invitation comes.’

When the invitation comes, I plan to go out and kill Pang Cheon-su, or at least Pang Cheon-su’s subordinates since that will be difficult right away.

〈Warning. Please do not send message.〉

A notification window appeared in front of me.

Startled, I closed my eyes, opened them, and looked into space. A holographic notification window appeared. I stretched out my hand, but I couldn’t catch it.

I understood what this was.

I checked that there was no one around and muttered quietly.

“Status window.”

Nothing happened.

Frown. The notification window still remained in the air.

‘What is this. Am I hallucinating? ‘What are you?’

〈Users can only receive advice once a day.〉

The existing notification window disappeared, and a new notification window appeared.

As I often read webtoons, I had an idea what kind of ability this was.

‘Is it like the Akashic Records?’

I think I understand why this guy suddenly warned me.

‘If only I had sent that bastard a teabagging message… That bastard must have been so angry that he came to me and killed me. That’s very likely.’

I know that loan shark Pang Cheon-su has a bad temper. This guy has actually dipped several people. Compared to him, I am nothing.

‘Compared to the ordinary me, that bastard is a natural psychopath. Even her mother would have killed her with her own hands because she wouldn’t give her money.’

I decided to stay quietly at the hotel.

Midnight that night. I used your advice.

‘Pangcheonsu. When should I kill this bastard?’

〈Unknown.〉

‘Should I kill Pang Cheonsu today?’

〈Warning. Don’t do it.〉

‘Kill me tomorrow?’

〈Users can only receive advice once a day.〉

Advice once a day. I found out that it resets at midnight. And the answer that you don’t know doesn’t seem to be considered advice.

• • •

The next day, midnight.

‘When will the invitation to the devil’s game arrive?’

2504003The invitation will arrive in 25 days.〉

‘Is it the same game this time?’

〈Users can only receive advice once a day.〉

• • •

The next day, midnight.

‘Say it. Is it the same killer survival game this time?’

〈We cannot advise on information related to games that have not yet been released.〉

‘Where is Shin Do-hyeon, and what is he doing now?’

〈I am I masturbating in bed.〉

‘Is it true? ‘What is daughter-gam?’

〈Users can only receive advice once a day.〉

‘Evil!’

I was so curious that I had trouble sleeping.

• • •

The next day, midnight.

‘It’s a fucked up world. The president is headless. ‘You think so too, right?’

〈Unknown.〉

‘I knew you would say that. Actually, I know how to make a less shitty world out of a shitty world. ‘Tell me the lotto numbers.’

〈11,13,27,31,32,39〉

‘Kya! You are God.’

I hurriedly wrote a note on my smartphone.

In the morning, fearing that Paengcheonsu’s scoundrels might be near the hotel, I put on my hat and quietly went to a nearby convenience store and bought 10 lottery tickets. Of course, I took the number as advised.

‘I am rich.’

• • •

The next day, midnight.

‘Hmm. It was a rewarding day today. Do you have any advice for me? If you have it, do it.’

〈It is better to save advice as much as possible.〉

‘Is it. Well, I’ll try my best.’

• • •

The next day, midnight.

“You fucking bastard!! You got the lottery numbers wrong! “Out of the 6, none of them were correct!!”

〈The future has changed.〉

“What the fuck?! So what am I going to do with my lottery ticket!!”

〈Users can only receive advice once a day.〉

“You really look like a dog!”

The next day.

I found a black envelope lying on the nightstand next to the bed.
