Chapter 2514 – 2514. The Devil’s Game
We purchased a slashing cutter knife and a devilish ionic drink. I used up all my remaining GP to buy it, but I had no choice. What if I leave it for no reason and another participant buys the cutting cutter knife?
‘It’s better to waste the points and keep them instead of letting others have them.’
Eugene Myung decided to use the cutter knife for the slash. The only person who could use a cutter knife was Eugene Myung. I had Ascalon and a lightning axe, Shin Do-hyun had a firearm, and Jo Na-young specialized in secret assassinations through invisibility. Bae Hyun-soo? He’s not helpful at all. I have the devil’s ionic drink.
We took a break and then moved toward the next passage.
I crossed aisle 10 and entered aisle 12. Nothing special happened. The station staff didn’t even meet me
‘I can see Exit 12 over there.’
It was the moment when the end of the tiresome subway adventure seemed in sight.
I felt a cold wind behind me. I paused for a moment. Cold wind? What should I do when I feel the cold wind?
“Run now!!”
Jinmyeong Yu shouted and ran out. We also started running after him. I immediately ran in front of Eugene Myeong. I was ahead of him in terms of physical ability from the beginning, but now I’m even wearing windy sneakers.
‘No, wait. If I take the lead first, I won’t be able to deal with Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young when something goes wrong.’
I deliberately slowed down and took over behind Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young. I planned to support them if they make mistakes.
A cold wind passes by the back of my neck. For a moment, a shiver ran down my spine. I would say it felt like I was about to be bitten by a huge animal.
“Aaaaah?!”
Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young ran well, but Bae Hyun-soo was the problem. I was running well, but then I crashed.
‘Save this bastard? Roll it?’
The worry was short-lived. I decided to save it. Bae Hyun-soo’s ability to imitate vocal cords is useless, but the game tools he has are very useful. With a map, you can know exactly where other participants are within 500 meters.
He grabs Bae Hyun-soo’s fallen body, throws it roughly around his shoulder, and starts running.
“Ugh! Eugene hyung… ! Thank you! Thank you so much… !”
“Just shut up.”
Although it was a little difficult, there was no problem. We quickly climbed up the exit stairs. Before I went up the stairs, I wondered what was behind me.
‘Let’s take a look. Seeing as the advice is quiet, it probably isn’t dangerous.’
I turned my head and checked behind me.
-You saw it?
There was nothing. There was nothing but darkness. No, that darkness was something. I swallowed dry saliva and went up the stairs. Fortunately, it didn’t follow me up the stairs.
I got out of the subway safely. And then I realize that this was the entrance when I first entered the subway station.
“I don’t think it’s a place you’ll go into twice. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Nothing.”
Except for Bae Hyun-soo, who had fallen and had a bloody nose, everything was fine. Yoo Byung-jin handed Bae Hyun-soo a handkerchief and nodded.
“Great. Let’s take a short break here… Let’s confirm our purpose once again. “Here, you could say that we are confirming our wishes.”
“Is that necessary? “I know everyone’s wishes anyway.”
“Maybe your wish has changed? And it doesn’t take a particularly long time. Let me tell you first. “I want treatment for my sister’s terminal illness.”
“Well, I want to become the best professional gamer in the world.”
Bae Hyun-soo continued. I thought so. Honestly, I wasn’t interested in what Bae Hyun-soo did.
“… “I will bring my mother back to life.”
It was Shin Do-hyun’s wish. To me, she was the person who became my mother-in-law.
“My wishes have changed. Originally, my goal was to become the world’s best idol. But now I think I can achieve that much on my own. The changed wish is to use the invisibility ability without restrictions. “If you become invisible, you can act without worrying about what others think.”
And with that ability, he will commit an affair with me. I’m looking forward to the future.
“I am… Well, it’s money. “You get the most money the devil can give you.”
Money is a wish that has been roughly thought out. I didn’t have a proper wish right now. Bring your dead parents back to life? Only one person can be brought back to life with a wish. I can’t save both of you.
‘I wouldn’t have known it before. Lately, I haven’t even thought about missing my parents.’
I was satisfied with my life now. A life with Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young. Honestly, I like the devil’s game too. I can use my abilities to the fullest, and I am compensated fairly.
“Mr. Eugene. If you don’t have much attachment to money… “I hope you can make the wish that Park Tae-san made.”
“A wish to not be punished by the law even if you commit a crime?”
“Yes. Taesan Park probably made a wish to rule over the shadowy regions of Korea. But it couldn’t be done, and it would have been best not to be punished by the law.”
“It seems like a pretty good wish. But why should I make that wish?”
“The Grand Game is not our end goal. We need to think about the future. I hope Eugene becomes the king who rules the night and shadows of Korea. The Devil’s game will be held next time, and this is also a preparation for him. Of course, Eugene would have a hard time doing it alone. So, I will assist Eugene.”
The devil’s game will be held again next time. The devil’s game has an impact on the world, for better or for worse. If you completely ignore it, you could end up in trouble.
“… What you’re saying is that I will achieve Pang Cheon-su’s goal. Am I going to become Seong Yu-jin? Not bad. “I will do that.”
“Thank you for your decision. “I pledge to be loyal to Mr. Eugene.”
“Hmm. We’ll talk about that later… What are your next plans?”
What was urgent and important now was not after my wish came true. Now, how to win the grand game is more important.
“We must kill our competitors as much as possible.”
“Why?”
“If all the wishes of the Grand Game participants come true… The world is likely to be a mess of itself. Also, if Pang Cheon-soo and his group’s wish comes true, our situation will be difficult. There is no way they will leave us alone.”
Understood. For our peaceful future, we must kill our enemies, including Pang Cheon-su. And other participants who don’t know what kind of wish they will make.
If everyone works together, everyone can make their wishes come true? Know what each person’s wishes are. Even if it’s not the destruction of the world, wouldn’t everyone be screwed if their wish of destroying Korea comes true?
“We must attack Pangcheonsu right now.”
“… Right Now? Wouldn’t it be better to attack other guys? Pang Cheon-su and his gang are well-planned and well-prepared.”
“What Do-hyeon said also makes sense. But that’s why we need to attack Pangcheonsu even more now. “Now is the weakest time because I haven’t been able to start farming properly because I joined.”
Eugene Myung held up the cutter knife for a slash. Pang Cheon-su and his gang have weapons like that? Just imagining it is terrifying. Pang Cheon-su’s gang consists of at least 10 people, and all of them have a certain level of combat power. Even if it’s not a cutter knife, just having a weapon like a gun is a headache. They probably also have game tools and abilities.
“The identity of the devil, the weapon to kill the devil, the slash cutter… And even Mr. Eugene. We have all the conditions for victory. Now is your chance.”
“Do you think they are still in the tower?”
I asked. Just as we moved immediately after joining, there was a high possibility that they also moved immediately after joining.
“If I were Paengcheonsu, I would make that place my base. North, south, east and west. It’s easy to move anywhere, and since you have a lot of power, you don’t have to worry about what other participants think. Since the tower stands out, other participants are likely to find it… You can offer them to join and further increase your power.”
“Right. “We need to move now before Pang Cheonsu’s power grows any further.”
Although the team members look a little tired, it’s not so much that they can’t move. The time I was at the subway station was at most an hour.
If you take a day off just because it’s a little tiring, and they arm themselves, you’ll be in trouble. We carefully headed to the tower in the center of the city.
When I got about 500 m closer to the tower, I checked Bae Hyun-soo’s map. Through the map, I confirmed that there were 23 opponents.
“No matter how Peng Tian-su, there is no way he would have brought more than 20 subordinates to the grand game. It looks like he has attracted other participants into his faction.”
“It would be crazy to fight from the front.”
“Mr. Eugene. “How many people can fight at the same time?”
“Ordinary guys without any ability can take on 10 people at the same time. “Of course, assuming they don’t have guns.”
“I wouldn’t have been fully armed with a firearm unless I had storage capacity over there.”
“Should I sneak in and assassinate someone?”
“No. There is a better way.”
Eugene Myung looked at the map and pointed to the tower.
“Look. The tower resembles Tokyo Tower. If you look at the map here, 17 out of 23 people are on the observatory side, not the first floor. If you kill the six people standing guard below… We can dominate the first floor.”
“Even if we take down the first floor, there won’t be an answer if they take the elevator and come down all at once, right? “You’re dealing with 17 people at the same time.”
“Things will be done easily then.”
Eugene Myung looked at Shin Do Hyun. Shin Do-hyeon nodded and took out dynamite from subspace. Shin Do-hyeon looked at Eugene Myeong as if he were dumbfounded.
“… I never thought I would actually use this. How on earth did you get it?”
“I got it through a Chinese broker I recently found out about. Even if the entire tower cannot be blown up, at least one elevator can be blown up.”
“They could come down the stairs.”
“You can monitor it through the map. Fortunately, they don’t seem to have a map.”
We looked at the map, made a plan and moved.
