Chapter 31
After the dokkaebi disappeared, dozens of casualties appeared on the platform of line 3 .
Currently, there was only one room on the line 3 platform .
There was no one strong here, so the weak didn't back down and attacked each other .
"Die! Die!"
[There are 30 minutes before the third scenario is activated . ]
As pandemonium occurred around me, I was quietly reading Ways of Survival . Perhaps today's scenario would flow as I thought . In order to survive, I couldn't miss a single word .
[What are you doing now?]
Along with Bihyung's words, I could hear the messages of the constellations .
[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is wondering what you are doing . ]
I reflexively turned off my smartphone . There was something I hadn't thought of until now . Why didn't the constellations respond when I read Ways of Survival?
In the original Ways of Survival, the constellations discovered that Yoo Jonghyuk was a regressor and raised questions about fairness . It was normal for them to say something about the text I was reading .
[What are you doing right now with a blank notepad? All the constellations are going crazy with frustration because of you!]
…Blank notepad?
I turned on the smartphone again . Ways of Destruction appeared on the screen .
"Is this what you are referring to?"
[Yes! What are you going to do with that notepad? You will die if you stay still! Ha, I believed in a guy like this and sighed a contract…]
I got goosebumps .
The dokkaebi couldn't read this 'text . ' If even the dokkaebis, which managed the system, couldn't read it then the constellations were the same .
Then the writer who gave me the text…what type of existence was he?
"Kuaack!"
The last scream rang out . Finally, the owner of the room on platform line 3 was determined .
[Green Zone 1/1]
"…Don't come any closer . "
A boy was pointing a knife at me . Surprisingly, the winner was the boy who guided us earlier . I still didn't know his name .
"Don't worry, I won't take your room . "
I spoke in order to reassure the boy . The moment I had this thought .
"Really? You are quite relaxed Ahjussi . Do you want to die?"
I didn't need to look back to see who was talking .
"It looks like you are quite free . "
"Nobody touches my room . I will send everyone who touches it to hell . "
Lee Jihye twirled a deep blue blade round and round . In regards to specs, there was no one who could match Lee Jihye apart from Yoo Jonghyuk or people from the Landlord Alliance . Lee Jihye watched me carefully and opened her mouth .
"I don't want Ahjussi to die . You were quite impressive against Master earlier . "
"Don't worry, I won't die . It won't die even if I don't find a room . "
It was true . I wouldn't necessarily die if I couldn't find a room . There was an impossible man in this station who proved this . It was only three days ago .
Lee Jihye's eyes narrowed .
"Ahjussi, do you know what you are saying right now?"
"Yes . "
"Ahjussi, are you strong? As strong as Master?"
Then Yoo Jonghyuk appeared behind Lee Jihye .
"Stop and go back to your room . "
"Ah…yup . Master . "
Lee Jihye obediently left and Yoo Jonghyuk turned towards me .
"Are you going to fight the monsters?"
I shrugged .
"You will die . Your four companions as well . "
"That remains to be seen . "
There was an unknown emotion in Yoo Jonghyuk's eyes as he glanced at me and left . I didn't use Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint . It wasn't always possible to expression emotions with words .
[There are 20 minutes before the third scenario is activated . ]
There was the sound of people coming down the stairs . Lee Hyunsung, Lee Gilyoung and Yoo Sangah… looking at their dark expressions, the result was as I expected . Yoo Sangah opened her mouth with a gloomy expression .
"Room…there were non . :
"It is okay . Rather, where is Heewon-ssi?"
"She is trying to negotiate upstairs . "
At these words, Jung Heewon jumped down with a terrible scream .
"One night is 2,000 coins? Are they joking right now? I am really going to hit them . "
The agitated Jung Heewon snorted and said .
"Dokja-ssi . Do you know what is happening upstairs? No―"
"They suddenly raised the taxes right?"
"Eh…you already know?"
It was predictable . The tenants would die if they couldn't get a room in 20 minutes . It was no wonder that the owners would take the initiative to raise the taxes .
"Did Dokja-ssi find anything?"
"No, I didn't . "
"Ah…"
I examined their faces one by one . In the end, the time to choose had come .
"I have two ways . "
The eyes of the party members shone at these words . But my methods would probably betray their expectations .
"The first way is easy for all of us to live . "
Jung Heewon's eyes narrowed .
"Usually it is the second method… what is the other one?"
"The second method is very difficult . It is likely that some of us will die . "
"Eh…that can't happen . Then I will choose the first way . "
"What do the others think?"
Lee Hyunsung responded first .
"The first method will be good if everyone can live . "
Lee Gilyoung nodded . Only Yoo Sangah hesitated .
"…Can I hear what it is?"
I nodded and lead them up the stairs to transit line 4 .
"This is the first method . "
The party members looked at where I pointed . There was a group of five men and women shaking .
[Green Zone 5/5]
"They room they occupy has exactly five spaces . But their individual abilities isn't that high . Honestly, if the five of us…"
"Wait, Dokja-ssi―"
"Yes, kill them and take their room . "
Their trembling increased at my calm voice . Jung Heewon made a deeply wounded expression .
"…Who doesn't know about this method?"
"If Hyung says so, I can do it . "
Lee Gilyoung spoke first .
"I'm not afraid . I will do it . "
"No Gilyoung!"
Yoo Sangah grabbed Lee Gilyoung's shoulder . I deliberately looked uncaring .
"They would've also killed someone to take that room . Honestly, we can't overcome future scenarios if we can't do this . "
"Dokja-ssi . " Jung Heewon interrupted . "I killed people at Gumho Station . I killed because I wanted to and I don't regret it . But . "
Jung Heewon had a pained expression on her face .
"Just because I am a murderer doesn't mean I want to keep killing . I don't want to be a monster .
"…"
"…Dokja-ssi, I would like to know about the second method . "
I closed my eyes for a moment at Lee Hyunsung's words .
"I understand your thoughts . "
Yes, this was enough .
"Let's go the second way . "
The expressions of the party members seemed to brighten . In fact, I was going to use the second method from the beginning .
Killing was an easy way to survive, but I could never attract the attention of the constellations if I chose the easy method .
