How the Villain Lives

43. Endless labyrinth.

And it was only after a month that the wrath of the pile finally erupted. Some of the people Kim Lee Hyun brought were fighting openly with Sung-hoon while everyone was watching.

"Hey, how are you going to take responsibility for this?"

"What do you mean?"

"Where are you pretending to have nothing to do with it?! One of you put the people here in this situation, and now you're saying that?! And you're the leader?"

"Hmm."

Sung-hoon, who pretended to think for a moment and scratched his head, secretly turned his eyes and looked at Kim Yi-hyun in one corner. He was making an unfair expression as if he had nothing to do with the situation, but he was not the one who would not understand what had happened behind him.

'It has nothing to do with you because of a subordinate who has no control over you. And would you use this man to warn me about me? I can see the inside.'

It seems to be rushing beyond its limits, but it is clear that even this behavior has been thoroughly ordered by Kim Lee Hyun. If his response here is aesthetic, he will take it as an opportunity and step out to curb the mood immediately, and if not, he can achieve the objective of shaking himself once.

I looked at the hard side just in case I wanted to, but I was just looking at it with curiosity how to deal with it. If it was only a matter of time ago, we would have gone first to establish the upper and lower sequences explicitly. But now I haven't stepped up at all. That's how much you're denying yourself.

'Well, it's not something you wouldn't understand, but it's kind of annoying.'

If things go badly, it's natural to want to hold someone else accountable. But no matter how obvious this is, isn't it an obvious tackle?

Do you want me to kill him?

Quuuuu.

I slightly empowered my hands. You don't have to draw a sword because you don't even know what you're talking about. If you just aim the bullet well and blow it lightly, it will instantly kill you. If you reach your fist like this, you can silence it right away. If it had not been hidden in the mask, I would have seen the face of the Holy Hun, who was distorted like a tyrant.

Do you want me to blow it?

If Mirina hadn't stepped out of the back first, she might have really blown her fist. Someone walks forward and gently pulls the sword, pointing at the man's neck as it is. It was a natural move that no one could stop while looking directly at it.

"If you spit out a pierced mouth, you'll know it all. Have you not learned to watch your mouth while surviving so far?"

"Ha, you only threaten with force because you have nothing to say? Swing it, Bebo!"

Although not by force, the man was making a cause. If you were a normal person, you wouldn't be able to wield a sword even with a visible provocation. Unfortunately, however, he picked the wrong opponent.

I didn't see Mirina wielding her sword. It was just a hunch. I used to watch Mirina side by side for a long time and knew her personality better than anyone about her behavior patterns, and she unconsciously moved.

Jurrrrrrgh!

He had enough power to slit a man's throat with a black hand that swings like that without any backward movement to load it. If Sung-hoon hadn't rushed the rune blade, he would have cut his throat enough.

"Miriam. That's it."

If she hadn't stepped out first, she would have punched herself first. However, thanks to Mirina's spiral, Sung-hoon, who was able to judge the current situation more coldly from a step away, bites her back lightly.

Just momentarily, a man touches his neck and looks at this side with a whitish tiredness.

"Really, really, really kill...."

"So do you sometimes fake it instead of real it?"

"Do you think you can do this the way you want because you're stronger than me?! This situation is all your fault! But I can't take responsibility for everything with my power..."

"Why not?"

"What?"

He opened his mouth boldly with a slight smile, as if he could not really understand.

"Well, once we've weighed the responsibility for this, it doesn't make any sense, so let's put it aside. And is there any reason for me to respect you now?"

"What, what?!"

"Do you really think Mirina deserves this much for me on the subject of being a party member? I wonder if that courage is real. Am I the only one who's curious? Heh heh."

The Holy Hun, who had drawn his sword to stop Myrina, began to squeeze toward the man. According to the stats alone, Sung-hoon has a horrible ability that no one can follow in the double. The man closes his mouth with a white complexion when his lively and humiliating skills are simultaneously triggered with a genuine desire to kill the other person.

I was sniffing my mouth to say something, but I couldn't say anything when I slightly moved the sword I brought to my neck. People who were looking at how things were going to turn around could not move on to the momentum of Sung-hoon's sincere exhortation.

"Was it this much? '

'If you achieve 3rd Awakening, will you become that strong? Or….'

'It's the synergy of the ghost's original abilities and 3rd Awakening.'

"Enough. You were too bad."

The top-rankers, who clearly felt beyond their powers, only then got up and began to clean up the situation. Kim Lee Hyun, who pretended to be a servant late, came forward and started mediation. Yoo Baek Woo, who looked at him for a while, turned around and started walking to the corner without looking back.

There are several laws in this repeated labyrinth. The same path was infinitely repeated, the steel poem came out every two blocks, and if they fell more than a certain distance apart, they would disappear like ghosts. Sung-hoon, who maintained that close distance after sacrificing the ten remaining people, was beating his tongue and blaming himself for his actions.

'What the hell am I doing?'

The behaviour that just happened was completely incompatible with his usual self. No, to be precise, I was able to say that I was expressing what I normally concealed. To Seong Hun, who was proud to be more proficient at hiding and deceiving his feelings, just now was an event to reflect greatly.

"Hey, will you be okay for a second?"

"But for what?"

"It's not that great, but I have something to tell you about earlier."

Eli bounces his fingers and casts a soundproofing spell, as if he were conscious of others' gazes.

"If that's the case, I regret it. I felt like this crazy maze was repeating for almost a month."

"That's also a problem, but that's not what I'm saying right now. I think I found something about this mission."

"Just... Hmm, clues?"

Sung-hoon, who was about to raise his voice momentarily, noticed his guilt and lowered his voice. Even if the sound does not leak, it is exposed to the surroundings as much as the movement. Sung-hoon, who had cast more layers of soundproofing magic in his heart, bowed his head.

"Clues. Where the hell did they come from?"

It was quite unbelievable that Eli, who had been fighting with the Iron Ages day and night, discovered clues that Sung-hoon, who had been searching harder than anyone else, had not found.

"Please promise me one thing before that. I won't be angry after hearing my story."

"What makes you so angry when you hear I found a clue?"

"I don't think it's going to be okay. Promise me."

"Fine. I won't be mad, so tell me."

By this time, I was wondering why I would get the treaty not to be angry because I had done something more than that clue. I couldn't believe that Ellie, who knew the villain's mindset and his sharp numbers, did what she was angry about.

However, after hearing Eli's words, Sung-hoon could see why she was trying to get a treaty that would not upset her first.

"I've been sneaking up on some people's meals for a few days."

"Medicine? Not poison?"

"You can call it poison. because it was a psychotropic drug that affected employees and guild members."

"... huuuuuuuuuu. Why the hell did you use that?"

It was absurd to bring such a big division to the party, but Sung-hoon angrily asked why.

"It was like those bastards were holding a black heart towards me. I've been sneaking in contact with you, pretending to make mistakes, trying to touch the place and keep bothering you. That's why I used the medicine."

"I was trying to make a mental flaw visible and deal with it openly."

"Yeah, well, it doesn't seem weird to me that things are happening right now, and suddenly there's one or two people who are going crazy and making a fuss about it."

Means to think of demons or demons. What is even more alarming is that Eli had already realized the idea without telling anyone. In a way, it also looked worse than Sung-hoon.

"You. No matter how much... No. So why is that? What does that have to do with the clue that you found out?"

I don't care if Ellie was poisoned or tortured or threatened anyway. More important than that, it was a clue. Eli hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth.

"Symptoms are so fast."

"What does that mean?"

"Even though I was a jerk at the moment, I didn't use a clumsy way to get caught by people. I took as little medication as I could and fed it for a reasonable amount of time. And it makes you gradually mentally anxious, so that no one seems strange. But my calculations were wrong."

Eli was about to slowly poison over oil. However, less than two days after embarking on the work, addicts began to show symptoms of mental anxiety in earnest.

At first, I only thought that the medicinal effect appeared sooner, simply because I was in a state of mental urgency. However, when the phenomenon emerged from all those who used drugs, not one or two, they were forced to think of other factors.

"Maybe the space itself is doing something that affects the mind."

"You know best that it's not hallucinations or psychic magic, right? Yu White Woo vouched for me and I didn't feel anything more. No matter how hard Class A missions are, don't you think it's normal for my stats to notice something strange?"

"It's not usually a Class A mission. Among Class A missions, this gateway is a course that is specialized in the spirit. It's a sentimental gateway from name to name. Everyone knows that. But everyone is revealing their mental weaknesses so quickly."

In a word, Sung-hoon kept his mouth shut to see if there was anything stabbing him.

'Reasonably, I know this is clearly wrong. But at some point, it's moving with emotion rather than head.'

Just what I did before. However, how could he have tried to kill the other person in that situation? Others do. Although coercion is a polyhemorrhage, the disconnection with which we have a relationship is of a definite nature. However, even though he said he was entrusted with everything, he grumbles a little and tackles his actions a few days ago.

Kim Lee Hyun-do will not try to provoke himself with numbers that are clearly visible as before. Of course, they are as human as they can be. But are they so weak that they lose their restraint through a month of exploration that they have to be top-rankers who are not ordinary people and who are clearly distinct from others?

The answer was one.

"The power of this sentimental gateway to reveal mental anxiety?"

"Yes, to be honest, the steel city is powerful, but it's not unbearable, and it only comes from two crossroads. So if you're in one place, at least you won't be able to defeat monsters. This is a gateway that weakens our minds and destroys each other."

"That's why it's the gateway to sentiment."

"Sturdy mental state that won't shake with the surrounding situation. Together with others, breaking through to the end is probably a hint of breaking through this corridor."

Eli's words penetrated the core of this gateway. According to her, this gateway is intended to cause mental collapse. A gateway through which only those who know how to control endlessly repetitive labyrinths and uneasy emotions can escape.

'Maybe if you stay here for a while or keep moving forward, you can clear it at some point. But….'

"Knowing that doesn't make any difference."

"… that's the problem."

While we know that this is clearly not the case when we think rationally, there are countless cases where emotions go beyond work. If everyone could think efficiently and make rational judgments, why would there be war and conflict?

It is he who can't stand being angry momentarily and punches out. In this situation, how many times can we hold out if everyone tells us that controlling our minds and joining forces is the only way to get out of here?

"I can't control my emotions right now. Ellie, a guy like you is on drugs in the food, but he's someone else."

Even now, I want to find the soldier who was arrogant to me and crush his face. Harmony? I can assure you that if you continue exploring again in this condition, there will be a bloodbath within a few days.

"That's why it's a problem. The answer I can give you is roughly, but I can't make it happen right now. I don't know how I would have woken up if I had sent my sister alone, but rather, bringing a lot of people is a fatal blow. Individual characteristics are so strong.."

"... the magic of the mental family that you can't even recognize."

"I honestly think there are only three ways out of this situation right now. The first one is to sneak into everyone's meals, like I did, and kill everyone. Once we're there, at least we'll be clearer than we are now. The second is that, as we have done so far, everyone somehow joins forces and advances to the end. However, in this case, there is a very high probability of extinction."

"……."

The situation of exile.

'If you were Arben, you would have said something in your mouth and told everyone to join forces and get out. And Jack and Ellie will kill everyone else and choose how to survive on their own. Then what about me?'

If you ask them to choose, the second method will be according to the tendency of the Holy Spirit. However, Sung-hoon repeated his vows. It was not just a matter of tendencies, but a feature that the path he had passed so far was out of a fixed form. I thought of a way to roll my head a little more.

"Brother Sung-hoon?"

"Ellie. Let me know if this is possible or not."

"What is it?"

"Now, if this is some kind of hallucinogenic or psychic enchantment and we're affected by it, would it be possible for you to spread the enchantment back to us in here?"

"... Yes?"

At first, I couldn't understand what the story was about, so it was Eli who curled his head. But her expression, which led to the explanation, began to change.
