Chapter 80
Episode 16 – The Fifth Scenario (5)
I stepped away from the bleeding Yoo Jonghyuk lying down and spoke to Bihyung .
‘Is this your doing?’
Even if Yoo Jonghyuk was nearby, he couldn’t be found in such a timely manner . It was clear that Bihyung had made a sub scenario to bring Yoo Jonghyuk over here .
[Are you suspecting me? Is there evidence?]
There was no evidence but I felt it in my heart .
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is concerned with your judgment . ]
[500 coins have been sponsored . ]
I felt a strong belief .
Han Sooyoung whispered to me as I looked down at Yoo Jonghyuk with a dumb expression . “…We found him . What are you going to do?”
“What else?”
“Shouldn’t you save him? This jerk, he is the protagonist . ”
Of course I had to save him . However, if I saved this bastard, I would surely die . Han Sooyoung looked scared that Yoo Jonghyuk would wake up straight away .
“Do you have anything that will restrain him?”
“Yoo Jonghyuk won’t tolerate them . ”
“Lock him up…”
“Then he will commit suicide . ”
“But if he goes back… Damn, what will happen if he regresses?”
Han Sooyoung belatedly came to this realization .
What would happen to this world if Yoo Jonghyuk went back? It was one of my biggest challenges living in this world .
“We have to stop it . Nobody knows what will happen . ”
It was right to assume the worst when things were unknown . If I made a mistake and the world was reset, my existence would disappear .
By the way… how did this jerk end up like this?
I looked closely at him . There was a wound around the belly . All internal organs and ribs were broken . It felt like someone incredibly powerful had hit Yoo Jonghyuk in one blow…
At this moment, I stared blankly at my fist . Perhaps?
“What is with that expression? Why is your face suddenly dark?”
“…It is nothing . ”
All of a sudden, I was convinced . He was hit with a fist filled with 100 strength…
Then he had been like this for two days . I felt sorry with the benefit of hindsight . With this, it might not be possible to restore my relationship with Yoo Jonghyuk .
As I slowly looked from his belly to his face, I took a few steps back because I got goosebumps .
“…Shit . ”
Yoo Jonghyuk was staring at me with bloody and teary eyes . His lips were moving and he was obviously saying something like ‘Dead, Kim Dokja . ’
I thought Han Sooyoung was beside me but she had run away as quickly as possible . I shouted towards Yoo Jonghyuk from a distance .
“Hey! Can’t you release your anger?”
“…”
“Wasn’t it a fair fight? Didn’t you try to kill me as well?”
Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes didn’t change . Dammit…
I had no choice . Yoo Jonghyuk had to survive here, even if he killed me . I might be able to stop the Disaster of Questions without Yoo Jonghyuk but I wouldn’t be able to prevent the other disasters and the world would be destroyed .
Why was the protagonist of Ways of Survival such a person? The story would’ve been easier of it was Lee Hyunsung or Jung Heewon .
…This wasn’t the time for complaints .
I decided to use a skill . It was obvious what he was thinking but I needed to check .
[Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint stage 2 has been activated!]
At this moment, something amazing happened .
「 Kim Dokja . 」
My eyes widened as I watched Yoo Jonghyuk .
…Did he just call out to me?
「 You can hear my words . Isn’t that right? If I look back at what you have done so far… 」
…What?
「 Say that you can hear me . If you don’t move now, the world will… 」
I looked at him in a slightly confused state .
「 …It was my mistake . Dammit . 」
Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes slowly closed . I hesitated for a moment before approaching Yoo Jonghyuk . Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t seem to have the power to fight me at all in this state . Besides… I didn’t see any animosity towards me .
“Yoo Jonghyuk . Can you hear me?”
Yoo Jonghyuk struggled to raise his eyelids, only to close them again . It was strange .
No matter how badly wounded he was, he would’ve automatically triggered Recovery when he was hit . Then why was he still in this state?

There were no problems with his stats . Yoo Jonghyuk was still one of the strongest incarnations in Seoul and his skills had grown compared to the last time I saw him .
The problem was his abnormal status .
Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t have the skills Thousand Poisons Resistance or Immunity to Ten Thousand Poisons yet . Therefore, poison was currently one of Yoo Jonghyuk’s few weaknesses .
He was like this because he was poisoned .
I looked closer and saw that there were blue blood vessels all over his body . It hadn’t been long since he was poisoned . Fortunately, he was still alive .
But it was strange . I knew of only one person who could infect Yoo Jonghyuk with Thousand Spirits Poison at this time…
A woman watching me in the distance asked, “You… are you Kim Dokja-ssi?”
I nodded . I looked at the woman who brought Yoo Jonghyuk here .
“He was like this the whole time . He kept asking me to take him to Kim Dokja…”
Yoo Jonghyuk?
I looked down at Yoo Jonghyuk’s face, which was more blue-tinged than before, and instantly had many thoughts . The terrified Han Sooyoung who had been fleeing came back .
“Hey, what’s going on?” Han Sooyoung poked my shoulder but I didn’t answer .
I struggled for a moment before speaking to Bihyung .
‘Bihyung, open the Dokkaebi Bag . ’
[Now do you understand? This wasn’t my doing . ]
‘Open the bag . ’
After confirming my remaining coins, I found a coin item that could cure Yoo Jonghyuk .
He was affected by the THousand Spirits Poison so it couldn’t be removed simply by eating the Ellain Forest Essence . I quickly turned on the text and checked some of the ingredients before purchasing items from the Dokkaebi Bag .
[You have purchased one Midday Tryst . ]
[You have purchased one Old Barbara Branch . ]
[You have purchased two Putna Daltun Horns . ]
[You have purchased one Detox Potato . ]
[You have purchased two Aintern Temple’s Purification Water . ]
[You have purchased one Ellain Forest Essence . ]
[A total of 7,370 coins are consumed . ]
It was an unexpected bleeding service . I asked the survivors around me for a small bucket, lit the Magic Power Stove and poured the ingredients into it . Han Sooyoung asked,
“What are you going to make?”
“An antidote . ”
“Did you decide to save him?”
I nodded and replied, “This bastard, he came to me deliberately . ”
“Deliberately? Why?”
“I don’t know . ”
“Did he come to ask you for help? I don’t think Yoo Jonghyuk would come all this way to kill you . ”
“That is impossible for Yoo Jonghyuk . ”
“How do you know?”
“I know . He is that type of bastard . ”
I adjusted the flames of the stove .
Fire blazed and the contents in the bucket started to boil . Based on the colour and form, it looked like food from the Death Valley goblins . It might seem terrible but this soup was an excellent antidote .
Han Sooyoung placed her hands on her knees and stared at the terrible food . “By the way, was Yoo Jonghyuk such a bad person in Ways of Survival?”
“…What?”
“It was a thought that I had . Didn’t Yoo Jonghyuk save a lot of people and do good deeds? Of course, he is like a psychopath but isn’t he moving for the people? He is fighting to save the world . I don’t want to admit it because I am a bad person . ”
When I thought about it, Han Sooyoung’s words weren’t completely wrong . I laughed and said, “Your defense of Yoo Jonghyuk is energetic because you haven’t read as far as me . ”
“But that is that and this is this . You can’t judge people by only looking at one side . ”
It was an unexpected conversation so I looked up at Han Sooyoung for a while .
Han Sooyoung was smiling coldly .
“No matter how much you claim that my work is plagiarism, it has actually never been affected by Ways of Survival . ”
“…You almost convinced me without saying that . It is a real pity . ”
I said this but my mind was a bit complicated .
What type of person was Yoo Jonghyuk? Could I really say that I was familiar with the existence of Yoo Jonghyuk?
I was able to confidently answer until a while ago . I was the only reader who read all of Ways of Survival .
But I felt that some of my answers were being diluted in the soup . Did I know Yoo Jonghyuk at all?
Not long after that, the soup started boiling .
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is impressed with your good deed . ]
[The constellations of the absolute good system support your good deed . ]
[3,000 coins have been sponsored . ]
It was rare for a person to be damaged by sponsorship . Shit .
I approached Yoo Jonghyuk with the soup . Han Sooyoung brought me a spoon from a nearby store . I scooped up the soup with the spoon and put it in Yoo Jonghyuk’s mouth . Han Sooyoung watched me blowing on the soup .
“You are acting like a wife . ”
“Do you want to do this?”
“I don’t want to . ”
In fact, I wouldn’t have given the job to her anyway . It was due to the system message that I heard every time I scooped up a spoonful of soup .
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is impressed with your good deed . ]
[500 coins have been sponsored . ]
It was tremendous to receive coins every time I fed him .
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is impressed with your good deed . ]
[300 coins have been sponsored . ]
I thought it was a loss to me but it turned out to be a huge honey event . Indeed, people should live a good life .
However, I started to feel a bit strange after 10 spoonfuls .
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is impressed with your good deed . ]
[400 coins have been sponsored . ]
…Was this constellation really impressed with the good deed? Would it last until the bowl was empty?
Yoo Jonghyuk started to open his eyes with a slight groan . He was still in bad shape but he was gradually healing from the poison . I didn’t miss his opportunity and took out one item .
[You have used the Midday Tryst . ]
[You are seeking consent from the target . ]
Midday Tryst was an item that allowed for a one on one conversation with the selected target for a specified time period . If I had a bit more coins, I would’ve learnt the Sound Transmission skill but I didn’t have that much to spare . Therefore, I chose the next best thing .
[The target has agreed to communicate with you . ]
[The Midday Tryst has started . ]
Once I sent a message to Yoo Jonghyuk, a small messenger window emerged in front of me .
–Hey, can you hear me?
The connection was formed .
I purchased this item for three reasons .
One was because Yoo Jonghyuk’s tongue was paralyzed by the effect of Thousand Spirits Poison and the second reason was to avoid leaking information to Han Sooyoung . The third and most important reason was that I didn’t want to confirm to Yoo Jonghyuk that I could read his thoughts .
The next moment, Yoo Jonghyuk’s message came up .
–Kim Dokja, move to the east right now .
