Chapter 2493 – 2493. The Devil’s Game

Pang Cheonsu received a long message. It was a report from his subordinate.

‘The two gangsters who named Seong Yu-jin died. According to the police cooperating with us, they died after fighting each other in the hotel room.’

It was quite possible. Because they are fundamentally scoundrels. But it doesn’t spread to the point where they kill each other.

‘Seong Yu-jin killed him.’

And Seong Yu-jin returned after winning the devil’s game. The power of the devil manipulated reality. Even if you search the room or check the surveillance cameras, you won’t find any evidence related to Seong Yu-jin.

Demonic forces manipulate people’s perception and reality. Anyone who doesn’t know about the devil’s game has no choice but to be fooled.

‘He who knows about the devil’s game is not affected by the devil’s power.’

This was the reason why Pang Cheon-su was able to manage the participants in the devil’s game in real life.

‘Seong Yu-jin. This guy killed 3 people. Since the reins were not put on from the beginning, control is impossible. A location tracker was also discovered. I don’t know where he’s hiding, but I find him and kill him.’

But there was a lot of work to be done right now. Although Sung Yu-jin is like a loach, he hasn’t done anything to him, so there is no need for him to kill Sung Yu-jin right away. Seong Yu-jin could have died in the next devil’s game.

‘What’s urgent now is…’

Peng Tianshu recalled his men. Those who participated in the devil’s game and received magical tools and abilities as a reward. As they gained strength, these guys started to think differently. It was something I predicted, but I don’t like it at all.

‘Soon, I too will have to participate in the devil’s game.’

Knock.

“President. “I brought the prepared items.”

“Come in.”

A sturdy man wearing a suit came in carrying a silver bag. Peng Cheon-su took the bag and placed it on the desk. When I opened the bag, there was a suit inside. Of course, it was no ordinary suit. The inside of the suit vest is made of small chains, and the metal sleeves of the jacket can be made with a knife.

‘Excluding clothes, you can only enter the devil’s game with the devil’s game tools. The important thing is that it must belong to the category of clothes.’

Chain armor is not allowed. However, it is acceptable to wear clothes that are woven with chains and filled inside. That trick is possible.

‘In the first game, you run away from the killer and survive. In Korea’s case, it is serial killer Jang Hwi-chun.’

The devil’s game takes place every midnight around the world. While playing the devil’s game, you also meet Americans and Europeans. They also start playing at midnight. Time difference? The devil’s power has no meaning to time. The devil was omnipotent.

‘If you kill Jang Huichun in the first game, you can get additional rewards. You can also have abilities that don’t come up often in lottery drawings.’

The most coveted things are the ability to determine the truth and the ability to see the future. Depending on how you use it, truth discrimination has a lot of possibilities, and future vision allows you to see the short future. Moreover, if a bad future arises, it even directly warns you.

‘Of course, I know that neither of them are omnipotent. But these are abilities that will definitely be helpful if you have them.’

In particular, what Pang Cheon-su wants is the future. When his subordinate got that ability, he almost died himself. This is because the subordinate who gained the ability betrayed himself and tried to kill Pang Cheon-su as soon as he saw the future in which he would die.

Open the drawer and take out a black card. There was writing in white on the front of the card.

-This is an invitation to the devil’s game.

-If your invitation is interrupted, you will participate in the devil’s game at midnight that day.

Peng Tiansu had already made his decision. Once he makes a decision, he never hesitates.

Hold.

He made a mess. And he picked up his smartphone.

“Grow. Today is the day.”

Then, at midnight, he participated in the devil’s game and killed all four Jang Huichun to gain additional rewards. I was lucky. The place he started was a large supermarket, so there were a lot of things that could be used as weapons. Moreover, he was with his subordinates.

As soon as Pangcheonsu arrived, a notification window appeared.

〈Warning, give up everything and go home. 〉

‘What kind of ability is this? Tell me to commit suicide? Is it a curse, not an ability?’

〈Users can only receive advice once a day.〉

‘This is advice?’

Peng Tiansu glared at the notification window that popped up in front of him and went down to the basement with his men. There were 20 debtors with their arms and legs tied in the dungeon.

These were piggy banks prepared for this day.

「Game points held: 0」

After confirming his game point, Pang Cheonsu took out a pistol from his arms.

“Please save me.”

“Well, you paid the money back. I’ll give you more money… !”

“What I want is game points. Unfortunately, game points can only be earned by killing.”

Bang, bang, bang.

Peng Cheon-su split 20 piggy banks.

「Game points held: 372」

The game points obtained were less than expected. I couldn’t help it. Because the things here were trash. The rest should be prepared for later.

「Enhance game tools and abilities – 50 GP」

Strengthen your abilities once. 50 game points disappear.

〈Warning, if you cannot give up everything and go home, commit suicide.〉

‘Are you kidding me?’

〈Users can only receive advice twice a day.〉

I tried strengthening my abilities just in case, but this is a mess. Pang Cheonsu gritted his teeth. The reason he worked so hard to prepare was not to receive this ability.

‘You’re out of luck. Even if I strengthen my abilities, it will still be like this. I need to fix it right now.’

If you select a new ability while the ability has been strengthened, the enhancement is reset. You have to strengthen your abilities again from the beginning.

‘It’s not too late. Stop loss quickly.’

Just like doing business.

「Game Tools and Ability Draw – 30 GP」

「I acquired a hot cutter knife.」

“You have obtained a game-exclusive recovery potion. 」

“Only one game tool can be selected.”

「Choose between a hot cutter knife and a game-exclusive recovery agent.」

Peng Cheonsu’s expression relaxed. The game-specific recovery agent was the gaming tool he was aiming for. Luckily, he got the gaming equipment he wanted right away.

‘Game-specific recovery agent. Most injuries are treated on the spot. If you strengthen it, the effect gets better.’

Changing abilities comes first rather than strengthening game tools. He continued drawing.

“Obtained an electric fly swatter.”

“I gained the ability to eat quickly.”

“I gained the ability to dive.”

…

「I extracted the ability of the sound of my heart.」

When the points ran out, he stopped drawing.

「I extracted the ability of the sound of my heart.」

“You can only select one ability.”

“Choose between advice and the voice of your heart.”

‘Of course it is the sound of the heart.’

You can get a sense of what kind of ability it is just by its name. The voice of the heart is much better than advice that only gives useless words.

After changing his powers, he looked at his subordinate standing next to him. He is a smart guy who likes foreign food, so he works as his secretary.

〈Uses the sound of the heart on the target. You can listen to the target’s heart for 3 seconds.〉

〈I feel terrible thinking about cleaning up after it.〉

“Jichan. Do you regret becoming my subordinate?”

“No, Chairman. Why are you suddenly asking such a question?”

〈Uses the sound of the heart on the target. You can listen to the target’s heart for 3 seconds.〉

〈I do regret it sometimes. But you make a lot of money. If you take a seat later, you will give me a seat too.〉

〈You can only hear the sound of your heart twice a day for 3 seconds.〉

“Because you look tired these days. I’ll just go now. Take your time and go home from work. “You can clean up later.”

“Yes. Please come in, Chairman.”

• • •

I received a call from Eugene Myung.

– Mr. Eugene. It is said that Pang Cheonsu gained his powers by participating in the devil’s game. Please find out what kind of ability it is.

“I’m curious too.”

If Pang Cheon-soo had the same advice skills as me, it wouldn’t have been quite annoying.

〈Pangcheonsu’s ability is the sound of the heart.〉

“They say it’s the sound of the heart?”

-That’s an intuitive name. It’s probably a type of ability to see into other people’s minds.

“Isn’t this what went wrong? “Your plan is to incite Peng Cheonsu’s subordinates to betray him.”

-No. Rather, I am glad. If Tianxiu Feng had received advice or the ability to determine the truth, he would have had a harder time. By the way, have you received an invitation to the devil’s game?

“Oh right. I got it. Dohyun also got it. “Did you get it too?”

-No. I asked if it was time to come soon. Since I didn’t receive it… This game will be an individual game, not a team game. Join forces with Mr. Do-hyeon.

“Okay. “I will protect Dohyun.”

11 hours until midnight. Since I didn’t have any favors from Eugene, I decided to use his advice.

‘What does Shin Do-hyun think of me?’

If Shin Do-hyun likes me… I was planning to confess right away. Today will be a historic day.

〈Shin Do-hyun plans to use you.〉

‘Hmm. I want you to use me for the rest of your life. As a bonus, my dick too.’

Shin Do-hyun was truly my kind of girl. There is probably no other woman like Shin Do-hyun in this world.

Shin Do-hyun is using me? Well, she could be taken advantage of as long as the price was certain.

This time, as soon as midnight struck, I was sucked into the world of the devil’s game.

I was in ruins. I looked around and saw a bag and a pistol. I quickly grabbed both.

A voice rang from the sky.

-Hello, game participants. Nice to meet you.

-This game is a battle royale.

-Kill each other until 10 people remain.

-If you kill another participant, you earn 5 game points.

‘Where is Dohyun…’ Which direction am I in? Not north, south, east or west.’

〈This is the direction you are looking at now.〉

I saw a wall. Of course, it’s not on the other side of the wall… I came out of the building and started running. I had to meet Shin Do-hyeon as soon as possible.

‘If you see handguns lying around, other people may be armed with guns as well. I have to meet Dohyun quickly. Dohyeon, wait. My brother is going.’

For reference, Shin Do-hyun was older than I.
