Record of a Thousand Lives

‘The disease moved. ’

David gives you the creeps.

He didn't lose his smile even when his wrist was cut off.

However, the disease remained fearful.

What is this bottle? Is it some kind of pest? ’

If your body has been cut, you can use a tool to join another corpse.

However, the disease was different.

You can't trade a body infected with a pathogen for a corpse.

‘Dammit! I can't think of a more susceptible environment. ’

The ruins were dirty because they didn't clean.

There are regular walking cadavers.

What better environment than for a pathogen to penetrate?

‘Besides, I'm the only living creature in this ruin. ’

David grows creepy.

If the corpse dolls had moved the pathogen, they wouldn't be servants anymore.

Rather, it is an enemy that carries disease on itself.

‘Dammit! Why would you join the left hand of a corpse? ’

David scratches the back of his hand for blood with a bright spot.

I was unable to remove my left hand from the tool.

If you have attached the body part of the doll, it is already one body if you have joined the body part of another person.

'Maybe the infection was speeding up by joining the body parts. ’

That made me creepy for a moment.

It seemed like the travelers who killed him were avenging themselves.

What happens when you get this? ’

David is sweating cold.

He was a contributor.

I was confident that any enemy would win this ruin.

‘But we can't even fight the plague. ’

David shatters his teeth.

It was much better to deal with powerful monsters.

There is no way to win against the invisible pathogen.

Or is there a concept of winning the fight against germs in the first place?

“Cough! Cough! ”

An interstellar cough popped out.

I felt like my neck was going crazy.

When I looked at my hands, there was a splinter with blood.

“Damn it! Cough! Dammit -!"

Angry, but no opponent to be angry with.

It seemed crazy.

The disease was like a thousand bees.

‘I can't just stand by. ’

David picks up and burns all the dolls with sparkly spots.

He decides to cut off his right hand, with his bright spots on it, but quits.

‘When I see the blood spatter, it's already infiltrated my body. ’

He coughed roughly and looked for something to wear as a mask.

It was hard to find a clean cloth because of how messy hygiene used to be.

Damn it!

I didn't think I'd blame myself for being lazy at cleaning.

David is close to finding a clean top.

He kept the top of the woman he had killed before.

He tears his top and wraps it around his mouth.

‘Even if we know that there is an epidemic in the ruins, we cannot continue. Let's go to a nearby village and get medical attention. ’

David walks out of the ruins quietly, packed with disinfectant drugs and minimal baggage.

You have escaped the ruins of Shaidol.

The Ruins Return skill has a waiting time remaining.

If you do not return within the time limit, you will lose ownership of the ruins.

Time -47: 59: 59 Remaining "

‘Goddamn it, we don't have time. ’

Thinking about the remaining time, I had to hurry back to the ruins.

The plague has spread, but you burned the infected corpse dolls.

David remains a fool for this ruin.

‘Let's hurry.'

We don't even know if the disease is treatable in the first place.

However, if you go to the doctor, you can at least find out the disease.

“Cough! Cough! ”

The amount of blood sputum increased gradually.

David grips his teeth and walks through the night.

At dawn, I found the Adventure Sack.

Although the water is a bit stiff, the water looks still clean.

‘You have to get rid of the disease in your body. Let's wash up.'

David spills out the remaining disinfectant.

I unpacked and washed my body.

The blotchy spots suddenly reached my chest.

‘This disease is extremely infectious. What's the mortality rate? ’

Mortality rate.

Percentage of deaths for sick patients.

If the mortality rate is high, the chance of death will increase, and if it is low, the chance of survival will increase.

‘I will survive. ’

David clenches his fist tightly.

I wasn't sure I was going to die of this disease.

He bit his lip to bleed.

‘I will not die unless my heart breaks. ’

And Carl pierces David's heart.

“Huff-!"

“This guy, is he real? ”

Henryk shakes his hand as he scatters Mana's thread.

A large wooden doll pierces David's chest with a knife.

“Oh my… damn……! ”

“Kang Yoon-soo came to ask me to go, but I was taking a bath. Isn't the water cold? ”

David vomits blood and struggles painfully.

However, Henry stabbed the knife unspeakably deeply.

He makes fun of you.

“Do you want to live again after killing so many people? ”

A wooden doll twists its blade.

The heart breaks, and a terrible pain spreads.

“Aah!”

David struggles desperately.

But there was no weapon that made sense because it was bare.

He spits out the blood with his last breath.

“Kuaak!”

“Tsk, what are you doing? ”

Henry tastes the blood on his face and frowns.

“Heheheh...... This disease will pass to you now. ”

“I took the cure, man. ”

“ ……. ”

David is out of breath.

The adventurous glands are covered in blood.

I killed David Abi, the master of the Shaidol Ruins.

You can obtain the treasure at the heart of the Shaidol Ruins.

"It's a weaver's class.

Required puppetry skill level is met.

You have reclaimed your place as successor to Shun.

“The heir to Shun? ”

Henry blinks.

“You can handle puppetry for real. ”

“So, please, you have to be popular. ”

Henryk gave a pint to Kang Yoon-soo who was standing next to him.

He clears his throat.

“I appreciate you teaching me where he's going to show up, but don't you usually build the finishing touches? ”

“I'm not a puppet. ”

If Kang Yoon-soo had chosen a puppet class in this life, he would have killed David.

But this time, I didn't want to learn puppetry.

In my experience, it was much more efficient for Henry to play the role of a puppet master than for himself.

“Let's go get the treasure from the ruins. ”

“What about the other two? ”

Henryk mentions Shanette and Iris, who will sleep in the camp.

Kang Yoon-soo shook his head.

“Leave us alone. ”

“Why, do I have to look tough? ”

He nods.

* * *

Kang Yoon-soo used horse bone fragments to infect dolls scouting around the ruins.

They were originally cadavers, so infectious and very contagious.

"I infected the dolls of the Shaidol Ruins with a sudden death.

Current Infected Subject-117 "

"You have successfully created an epidemic.

‘Spreading the disease is an efficient fight. ’

Beyond level and number fights is spreading the plague.

In a way, it was more efficient than the necromancer that raised the corpse.

Henry frowns.

“Scary bastard. What were you gonna do if there was an outbreak in the vicinity? ”

“The investigators will stop them. ”

Kang Yoon-soo did not ask for a first-class investigation workforce for no reason.

If an epidemic spreads through the forest, there are large waves throughout the continent.

However, a first-rate investigative personnel will prevent such an epidemic.

‘Because of the spread of disease inside the ruins, the spread of infectious grapes is not wide. ’

Two men walked through the woods.

Kang Yoon-soo who was going before suddenly turned the road.

“Son of a bitch, that's not where he came from. ”

“I need to make a quick stop. ”

Kang Yoon-soo walked to a remote place.

As you venture deeper into the forest, the screams of the beasts get louder.

Unexpectedly, the sound rang.

“Cough! How dare you think you can kill me! ”

An old man in a black robe wags his black staff.

The leaves of the forest wither and the warmth of life fades.

The forces facing the Wizard, on the other hand, were wearing investigator uniforms.

“The Black Wizard's life force is imminent. Now that the headquarters has been cleared for assassination, pour out the rampage! ”

Henry, who hides behind the grass, whispers.

“Is that the Black Wizard you were telling me about? ”

“Huh."

A Black Wizard spreading the plague.

Obviously, the Black Wizard's life force was considerably diminished.

The old man grabs the staff, choking as if it were dying right away.

At that time, Kang Yoon-soo left.

“Abyssal Slash. ”

The blade pierces the old man's back head.

“Who are you? Suddenly... Khh! ”

Kang Yoon-soo twisted his blade.

The Black Wizard lost his life on the spot.

"I killed the Black Wizard Orickel, who spread the disease.

Property will be moved from the wizard's dimension pocket.

You got 7 Epidemic Seeds.

You have received 4 Crosses of Corruption.

You got the Staff of Infection.

Kang Yoon-soo suddenly broke in and only took the last hit.

“What! You! ”

“Someone slaughtered a man in front of an investigator! ”

The investigators approach furiously.

Even with a nice uniform, they were high-ranking investigators.

To prevent the epidemic, everyone had a blessing of light.

Kang Yoon-soo chucked out the amulet on his neck.

“Class 0 Dragon Claw Amulet! ”

The investigators were surprised and aligned at the same time.

The beauty in the front row salutes and releases the Phoenix bracelet.

“Chief Investigator Cheryl and 14 others. ”

It was a first-class investigative personnel who received Kang Yoon-soo's report.

Kang Yoon-soo graciously tapped her shoulder.

“Well done. ”

“Old!”

The investigators are not tired at all, even though they just fought.

Among the top investigators, they were the strongest.

‘Imperial Special Investigation Unit.’

Personnel assigned to each headquarters recognized by the Imperial Court.

Unlike ordinary investigators, they had excellent stamina and combat strength.

Comparing swordsmanship, the Knights of the Imperial Court won't be behind you.

‘If I drag them long enough, they'll notice who I am. ’

Kang Yoon-soo is different from the others who have been deceived.

A First Grade Investigator deals with fraudsters like they're fed up.

The perfect performance did not guarantee to dispel their doubts.

“I saw you in the car investigating the disappearance of recent travelers. Obviously, the underlings are doing well. ”

“At this hour? ”

Cheryl's tone was soft, but the questions were sharp.

Kang Yoon-soo nodded her head suddenly.

“Of course. Ah, you're from the Bleepin Investigation Headquarters, judging by the partially carved wing pattern on the bracelet. How's Inspector LaPenterhill? ”

“You are active in the field. ”

“Glad you fixed it. I think you burned all your mustaches chasing firefighters yesterday. ”

A few investigators burst into laughter.

“Are you acquainted with Captain Lapenthal? ”

“Hmm. Haven't you ever heard of that storm nagging? In our day, it was very bad. ”

“Haha! I'm sick of hearing this. It's a commotion every day, asking you to improve your performance. ”

Cheryl raises her eyebrows.

“You look quite young, aren't you? ”

Kang Yoon-soo confronted her.

Among them, Cheryl was the most powerful and capable.

Combat Strength and Level are the same as the Knight Leader.

He clears his voice and says,

“As you can see, I'm a traveler. He's just as special as the rest of you. ”

Kang Yoon-soo slipped away.

Although the investigators' eyes were sharp, he had some knowledge from his previous life.

Kang Yoon-soo's lies were always the reason for gaining credibility.

“I took care of him because he was given permission to kill. I don't know if that's a bad excuse. ”

“No, thank you for taking care of the Black Wizard. ”

“Well, take care. ”

Kang Yoon-soo bowed and left.

Cheryl's gaze stayed on his back for a long time.

“Did you cheat? ”

Henryk comes out of the bush and asks,

“Maybe.”

“Careful. Impersonating an investigator won't end up in jail. ”

Henryk yawns, scratching his cheek.

Then suddenly, I looked at Kang Yoon-soo seriously.

“Hey."

“Why.”

The two eyes met.

Henryk pulls the bottle out of his pocket, while Kang Yoon-soo grabs the water bottle with clear liquor.

The liquor in each other's bottles were mixed at the appropriate ratio.

“I knew you'd fit right in. ”

“I see.”

The two men walked through the ruins slamming into the bottle.
