3.

I knew it.

"What a pity."

A long time ago, I thought I already knew.

Think about it. Who, no matter what kind of creature built this tower, couldn't have done a lot of good.

It would have been a sight to admire and admire.

We are already used to everything on the 10th floor.

A person who keeps his face almost always blank, puts on a helmet, and does not show his face to others as much as possible.

I always wear armor around me.

"I have my own confidence in poker face.

Confucius Kim. Do you have any reading skills?

Maybe someone with a stronger wall in his heart.

I can't help it.

My colleagues.

Patricia.

Our noble and noble paladin.

I have the ability to recognize others' lies.

It's no exaggeration to say that I'm a skill that promoted me to vice guild leader of the vigilantes.

Suspicion is a poison that devours humans, and truth is the most powerful antidote. We cannot regain the trust we have lost so far, but we will be able to cooperate on at least the 12th floor.

Just before the battle with the Fall Rain Demon King.

Hunters have been thrilled to break through the stage for years, and have simply stumbled onto a trap dug by the Demon King. I did not consider the possibility that the quest itself could be the Demon King's trap.

When it was known that someone betrayed us and stood by the Demon King, the leaders of the Great Guild simply doubted each other.

"What a fool! I told you! Never choose the Demon King's reward.

I don't know yet who, dare, betrayed us, but I will give the most painful death to him.

It was a time when we couldn't trust each other.

The Inquisitor interrogated people under the name of the pagan in the basement of the Manchurian Temple, the assassination squad led by the Black Dragonlord plunged into Babylon's night, and the Earl was unwilling to devour the capital of the other guilds.

Above all.

This atmosphere. This air. I feel it when I raid the very beginning of the tower.

Exactly. It feels like when the 5th Guild was a teenager.

Many died in those days. Killed a lot of them, didn't they?

The fact that each one of them is just a murderer.

Everyone knew.

I knew too well.

Paladin! Interrogate everyone with a lie detector immediately. Every last one of them! If anyone does not answer or evade the paladin's question, I will kill him right here and now!

I mean...

I don't have to say it.

I knew it.

"First, let's begin by stating that I am not a traitor.

A man like you would never forget a massacre.

That there is no convincing, no convincing, no forgiveness.

If I don't have the strength to punish those slaughterers right now, I'll hold off until that power builds up. I will be patient, five years or 10 years, and I am willing to consult and wait for the moment of opportunity.

"Focus Face."

I am confident.

Think of it as a [only paladin is a trustworthy man].

Even if I miss the opportunity, I don't show my face that I'm sorry.

Even if the opportunity comes, it doesn't reveal an excitement.

Just do what needs to be done.

You really don't know life.

That you're that person.

"We reconcile with the Black Dragon Juice and become friends again. Even with the other guild leaders....

…… really.

Such things happened.

A long time ago, I thought I already knew.

"......."

Therefore.

When I was faced with the paladin-like doll in the maze of glass, in the dead end of stage 63, I saw a paper sign with a doll in it.

I wasn't surprised.

Not at all.

Me.

The sign said in a concise handwriting.

There are 17 plans to assassinate all of your colleagues.

It was the image of Patricia that I knew.

4.

Peek-a-book.

“Surprised?”

The paladin-like puppet's mouth moves. A snake that does not reveal itself or its voice is whispering through the doll.

“This human is my model follower. In principle, it is forbidden for humans who have not crossed the 50th floor to interfere with the constellations at will. That's why they come into contact indirectly, in the form of skills or protection. ”

"......."

Indirect propagation of faith.

Skill and protection, from the standpoint of the constellation, is a means.

There are many worlds that cannot reach 50 floors. A lot.

From the standpoint of the constellations, it would be a waste of the faith resources of many worlds.

That is why I will use my power to create and distribute skills, and I will sprinkle blessings like the blessing I once received as a Hidden Stage reward.

“But this man was desperate. ”

Queek, queek.

While I was engraving new facts on the side of my head, the paladin Marionette seemed to be delighted.

“I'm a constellation that doesn't particularly like to treat someone special, but I can say that this human was' special ’. It's been a long time since anyone has wished so earnestly! For more than a decade, this human bit his lips until they bleed and bled and prayed to a god he didn't believe existed. ”

When the Purge broke down in the tower.

“Give me the strength to kill the wicked without anyone knowing." ”

"......."

“In other words, this man wants to be an assassin! Secret murders. Executioners hidden in the veil. Planned murders. I am not the constellation that governs death, but every plot and assassination touches my power. I'd be happy to lend you my power! ”

I muttered bitterly.

“[Lie Detector] is a skill you gave me. ”

“Yes, where is he?" ”

Friction came out of the doll's mouth.

“This human skill is literally a list of my powers. I can see the affection my opponent has for me in numbers. When you reveal your skills to an opponent, the human can bend and distort the skill description as desired. Secret detection. Distortion of information. Manipulation. Scheme. Beautiful, isn't it? ”

"......."

“Those who thought you were friends were plotting your death! ”

[Eye in Labyrinth] mocks.

“There was not a single one who approached you with pure favor. ”

How's it going, "asked the constellation of the snake.

“Before I could hear your story, I thought of your death, I thought of a perfect way to kill, and then I smiled at you. The Four Kings, before you even received your title! ”

Yeah, it is.

“This is the identity of the friendship you hold so dear! ”

No matter how unsightly the dagger is, it hurts when the blade hits you alive.

Even though I already know with my head and my mind already yearned, even though I know that the words I hear now are only provocations to shake me, I have to be this provocative to win so that my opponent can actually act.

The blade is the blade and the wound is the wound.

You'd be lying if you told me you weren't sick.

“If you wish, you can silence them without telling them their secrets. ”

Well, the problem is...

“Even if you don't want to, you can expose every secret they have in front of you! ”

Will I be able to endure it?

“Fear what you fear. You humans, you would be wise enough. Given too much of a name for his own destiny. Put down that sword..."

“What do you know? ”

The puppet's eyes were made for me.

“What?"

“What do you know so well about Patricia? ”

I took the handkerchief out of my arms and hung it.

A handkerchief with an embroidered silver thread in white.

Wrapping a soft touch around your fingertips, the excitement subsides as your fingers slowly move along the trail.

I controlled the temperature of the mind.

“Much, much deeper than you might think, I know Patricia. ”

“Ha, that's funny! You didn't even know what kind of murder they were planning. ”

“Patricia has taken advantage of play. ”

“…… what? ”

I remembered.

Something very trivial, like a very long time ago.

The moment I decided to return 4,000 days, there was a paladin, on the scene.

Water Abilities Do Not Use the Skill Alone!

"Yes, in time! Yes!"

Harlem is on fire because of the play.

Among the top rankers, only paladins and pharmacists ran into the fire. The paladin may not know it, but in fact, that's when I first saw him.

In front of the fire, two rankers talk.

That's strange. Why isn't she here yet...?

He said something happened tonight. I don't know, maybe a date. He's been hanging out with saltines a lot lately.

… that salty man, I don't like him.

Naturally, they knew the play.

I think she should meet someone better.

And...

Your eyes are too high. Who am I supposed to meet if I'm a better man than ranked # 1?

The paladin did not say 'bad words’ about the play.

You have never shown contempt, as you must be chosen if there is anyone in the world who hates you more often than anyone else.

"Welcome, Salt.

Rather, it was polite.

"As you can see, there was a fire in the old slum district. Can you help us?

I was close.

What do I get if I help?

"Tomorrow, news agencies and broadcasters around the world will open their doors to [fire suppressing salts, doing great good deeds]. You can improve your image while still impacting the world.

How so?

Why you did it.

Haven't you noticed what salt is like?

I was here once.

The salt smoke was so great that it deceived the people of the world, and Patricia was deceived, and there was also a time when she was deeply distressed by it.

“When the saint tried to poison the play, she got played once. But I came right back and avenged the saint. At that time, I was thinking about [the person who ordered me to be poisoned is the Black Dragon Juju]. ”

“What? … you. What are you talking about? ”

“Who warned you about that? ”

I don't think Patricia is fooled anymore.

“That night, I said to the skillful saint, [Think about it and answer. I don't have poison ivy, but I do have a skill at exploring lies. If you get sick, I'll burn your bones.] But he didn't have a lie detector. ”

“So what are you talking about..."

“The one with the skill was Patricia. ”

Quite the contrary.

I think Patricia fooled everyone.

“In the world before my return, perhaps the swordsman was killed by a master. The senior is strong. Even though he has regression skills, it will be very difficult to defeat the senior swordsman alone. But there were rumors that he had been killed, that he had disappeared, and that he had disappeared somewhere. ”

"......."

“Patricia knew the sword well. The swordsman was my direct apprentice when I was Chief Vigilante. You know what the sword's weakness is, what the sword's schedule is, and you all know it. I was sharpening the blade of a swordsman in the Purge. It should come as no surprise that Patricia is working with us on hunting the Sword of Salt. ”

Everyone thinks Patricia fooled them.

“Of course, the vigilante guild has the power to [eliminate missing persons] killed and disguise them as if they were not dead..." It was the pawn of Patricia. ”

"......."

“In another world. ”

The world that Topju showed me.

Scenario in which I will enter and live as the leading guild member.

There, the lady grabbed a spear and stormed the watermelon.

“Somehow the prophetess knew that the murderer who killed her grandfather, the elder swordsman, was very popular. ”

Outstanding!

You killed my only grandfather!

“Who told you that? ”

Someone wanted to get rid of the sword using the salt.

Someone wanted to get rid of the liquor with salt.

Someone wanted to take revenge on the saint and make it crucially wrong between the salt and black dragon liquor.

"Who could have told me? ”

In the IF scenario, the giant guilds have collapsed.

Inquisitors were killed by terrorists infiltrating the Pantheon, and Black Dragons were also dealt with by assassins.

Neither the Inquisitors nor the Black Dragonlords are more secure than anyone else.

“Just in time, the vigilantes are the ones who verify the identities of the people who enter the tower. ”

How a terrorist and an assassin.

Were you able to not only enter the tower but also hide in the center of the Giant Guild?

“There is only one person with the ability and status to do so. ”

To be trusted is to betray.

“Only one of the guild leaders has the motivation to do so. ”

It can be manipulated.

“The tower showed me a vision to prove to me that [play can change]. But even in that vision, I couldn't hide the tower from collapsing and the giant guilds from collapsing. Why? If you're going to show me your fantasy, I can show you the perfect world. Why would you want to ruin the world? To me.”

Because the tower can't ignore human hope.

Even though it was a circle stained with blood, Patricia's wish was to [avenge the slaughterers].

It was impossible for the tower to ignore that wish.

"......."

A long time ago.

I think I already knew.

“Hisimit Creetz."

I opened my lips.

“You don't know everything I just said. ”

"......."

“You want to provoke me that the trust I've built up is nothing but sand castles. He wanted to strip away the secrets of my colleagues one by one, expose them to me, put them in a place that no one else could trust and I couldn't trust myself, if possible. ”

But...

“I know more than you know. ”

About Patricia.

Friends.

“I know the faces they make, and I know all the faces they never made. I know things about myself that I don't know. ”

I didn't stretch out my hand because I didn't know.

Nor did he give you faith without knowing.

“I didn't trust him because he couldn't do it. He can't do it. ”

I grabbed the sword.

“To keep people from doing this, to keep people from doing that, I'm with them, and they trust me. ”

“You…."

“None of the secrets you can reveal can break me. ”

“You son of a bitch! ”

“Humans are not puppets for display in your glass garden. ”

With all your might.

You cut the pavement of the maze with your sword.

“No one lives to be shown to others, and no one deserves to be shown to others."

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Concentrate on the land I took down.

“From now on, I'm going to tear you apart. ”

The world of glass was torn.
