Chapter 2516 – 2516. The Devil’s Game

As the elevator began to descend to the first floor, we raised our guns and prepared to shoot. I planned to go as soon as the elevator doors opened.

“How many people are on board?”

I asked Eugene Myung.

“There’s a good chance there won’t be one. Either that or it was carrying something that wasn’t human. In any case, it’s best not to let down your guard. Mr. Dohyun. If there are more than 10 people in the elevator, blow up the elevator immediately.”

“… Okay.”

Shin Do-hyeon carefully handled the detonator.

Ding.

The door of the elevator that goes down to the first floor opens.

Inside was a man with a gun. My teammates and I reflexively pulled the trigger. The bullet passes through the man’s body.

Pass through, not through. Men are fantastic. In other words, it was fake.

“Hmm. You got hit. When the elevator goes up, the enemy will know that we are armed with guns.”

“Does that matter?”

“Pang Cheon-soo will be more cautious. The possibility of enemies coming down the elevator all at once is… It must be said that there are almost none. If you come down, you will come by stairs. It would be better to move some dynamite and place it near the stairs.”

“When do you think they will come down?”

“It will come down today or tomorrow, or in three or four days. “Let alone food, water is so scarce that it is difficult to survive.”

“They made fun of us too, so let’s send them a gift.”

We brought the body, put it in the elevator, and sent it up. They even removed the corpse as a provocation. This is killing two birds with one stone.

The elevator that had been sent down to the first floor began to go up.

Pang Tianshu led his subordinates and aimed at the elevator. Using his subordinate’s abilities, he placed his phantom alter ego in the elevator and sent it down. This is to see the reaction of the first floor. However, the enemies, who thought they would try to communicate through the radio, quietly sent the elevator up.

‘Are you saying you have no intention of talking at all? It’s a pain in the ass.’

I ignore Park Tae-san, who is grinning on one side. Although Park Tae-san is a Grand Game winner, he is not really helpful. The reason Park Tae-san was able to win was because of the dice and intuition. But for some reason, the dice didn’t work.

‘There will be no one in the elevator. There’s no way you can go up in the elevator without going crazy.’

Ding.

The elevator came up completely and the doors opened.

As Pang Cheon-su expected, there were no people. Instead, there were three corpses. He also discovered bullet marks carved into the elevator walls like scars. If you look down a little, you can see bullets rolling around on the floor of the elevator.

Peng Cheonsu internally gritted his teeth.

‘These guys… He was armed with a gun. Aside from how he secured the firearm… What matters is the number of enemies. As soon as he saw the phantom clone, he would have grabbed his gun… Looking at those traces, it would seem that there were at least three people. And the body…’

The body was not killed by a gun but by cuts with a sharp knife. One was killed with a sword.

‘The six people standing guard below are guys with excellent fighting skills. The fact that those guys were annihilated without even reporting to me… It means that the enemy’s strength is considerable.’

Pang Cheonsu first looked at the atmosphere. There are a total of 17 people here, including myself. Of these, 7 were his subordinates. Originally there were a little more, but they couldn’t join. Either he died or he couldn’t come because of some reason. In the worst case, it could have been betrayal.

‘The atmosphere isn’t bad. Well, I couldn’t even participate in the grand game if I was shaking over dead bodies.’

Still, I was nervous. Because of the bullets on the floor of the elevator. As a modern person, everyone knows the fear of guns.

‘The ones with guns here are me, Ji-chan, and Park Tae-san.’

It’s a pistol. It was a game tool for his subordinates, and they decided to use it. I had no choice but to give it to Park Tae-san’s Gyeong-woong because he was smoking a beggar. I don’t know anything else, but Park Tae-san’s intuition is helpful.

“President. What about the elevator? Are you sending it off like this?”

“Send him down. “I don’t want to smell a dead body.”

The elevator that sent down came back up. There was still a body inside the elevator. If you send it down again, it comes back up. Not good. My subordinates get nervous every time the elevator comes up. The corpses in the elevator are slowly but surely affecting the mentality of the subordinates.

“Tsk. Get rid of the body. There’s a lot of room anyway, so put it away where it’s not being used. And put appropriate furniture in the elevator. Then I won’t go down.”

“Yes. Chairman.”

“What about food and water? You brought it 5 hours ago. “How much is left?”

“… “I only have today’s supply.”

“If we share, can we last for 3 days?”

“We shared it, so that’s today’s portion.”

“Damn.”

At this rate, I really might have to pee and endure.

“But isn’t there a scouting team out there? The scout team may bring in other participants to kill them. The scout team will also bring food supply boxes.”

“… That’s right.”

If you do that, there is a greater chance that you will get the reverse. The scouting team consists of discarded cards. Of course, Pang Cheon-soo did not tell that fact.

Beep.

The radar placed next to it responds. He heard the radar he got from this tower.

「Supply Radar

It tells you the location of the supply box containing food and drinking water.”

There are 7 locations of supply boxes that appear on the radar. It seems that three new supply boxes have appeared this time. The problem is that you can’t go outside because of the guys occupying the first floor.

A decision has to be made.

Go down the stairs or elevator and fight them, or hang on here.

‘Fighting is burdensome… As for holding on, I don’t feel like relying too much on luck.’

If you’re lucky, a monster may invade the tower and wipe out the guys on the first floor. But if you’re really lucky.

‘At times like this… ‘I have to see Taesan Park.’

Park Tae-san, who has intuition. His abilities will definitely be helpful.

“Park Tae-san.”

“What.”

The response that comes back is sharp. It was proof that he was mentally focused.

“What do you think? Should I go down and fight? Or should I hold on?”

“…”

Taesan Park was silent for a moment and then spoke.

“I’m holding on for now.”

Peng Cheonsu used his ability without hesitation. You can see the sound of Park Tae-san’s heart.

〈Fuck. I have a bad feeling. Neither going down nor holding on is possible. Neither one works… Shit. What should I do? As it is…〉

Going down and holding on. This means that both have similarly bad results. Peng Cheonsu narrowed his eyes.

‘Park Tae-san’s ability only works on things related to himself. For example, when it comes to stocks, your intuition only works on the items you invest in. He does not activate stocks he has not invested in.’

Pang Cheonsu’s head began to spin rapidly.

The representative of the first floor is Seong Yu-jin. Park Tae-san’s old friend. This guy definitely has a grudge against Park Tae-san.

‘Attempt to negotiate with Park Tae-san.’

Peng Cheonsu looked around and chose the most useless person possible. He was a man from outside.

• • •

I killed 5 participants approaching the tower. One person was captured alive and interrogated, and it turned out that he was Pang Cheon-su’s subordinate. Did you say it was a reconnaissance team with three people working together? Two were participants who chose to join. The scout team had a supply box containing food and water, so they ate well.

And then I set a night watch and went to sleep.

“Okay, I’ll be on watch. At least that should help.”

Bae Hyun-soo spoke for the first time in a long time, loaded with concepts. It may be a little unsatisfying, but you’ll be fine since you have the map. But Eugene shook his head.

“There are two people on watch duty. Me, Hyunsu, Dohyeon, and Nayoung take turns. Even with Hyeonsu’s guidance, it’s difficult to do it alone.”

The team members accepted it without complaint. The reason I was excluded from the watch was because of combat. My teammates wanted me to stay in good shape.

I lay down on the floor and slept.

“Mr. Eugene. Stand up for a moment. The elevator standing above started moving. Use the advice and see if they come down.”

“… Do I really need to write advice?”

“Yes. The elevator is coming down now… It is possible that they are trying to attack us. When it comes to Pangcheonsu, there are stairs and elevators. “We will divide people up and come down.”

If you decide to attack, attack vigorously before it is too late. That’s right. As time goes by, you only get tired due to lack of food and water.

I wrote some advice.

〈The person coming down in the elevator is Jo Soo-kyung. He is Pang Cheon-su’s subordinate, and Pang Cheon-su wants to negotiate.〉

This is advice that even tells you things you didn’t ask about. It’s good because it’s comfortable.

“Bargaining… Okay. Pang Cheon-su will attempt to negotiate with Park Tae-san.”

“You’re thinking about that right now? “You have good hair.”

“Because the only person Pang Cheon-soo can negotiate with is Park Tae-san. What would you like to do?”

“What is your opinion?”

“I will first listen to the negotiations and then betray them. Still, we are in an overwhelmingly advantageous position. Another way… I guess they’re announcing the details of the negotiations via walkie-talkie. You can create a conflict between Pangcheonsu and Park Taesan. However, in that case, Park Tae-san will be killed by Pang Cheon-su.”

“I will kill Taesan Park with my own hands. The same goes for Pangcheonsu. There is no negotiation. As soon as Pang Cheon-su’s subordinates come down to the first floor, kill them and send them up.”

“Yes. I understand.”

“… I won’t stop you. Furthermore, I thought you would stop me.”

“The leader is Mr. Eugene. I will follow the leader’s will. Honestly, since Eugene is here, I don’t think he will lose even if he fights head-on.”

Ding.

The door of the elevator that came down opened.

A man stood in a bloody elevator with both hands raised. I aimed the pistol at him.

“I have no intention of fighting. My name is Jo Soo-kyung, and I have come down after receiving orders from the Chairman. To negotiate.”

Tang.

The fired bullet got stuck between Su-kyung Jo’s eyes.

Eugene Myung sent the elevator upward.
