Episode.35 Award for good child

She has a location tracker?

‘It wasn’t particularly precious, but how and why?’

I never stopped doubting Harin.

‘By any chance… have you noticed the Golden Rule?’

【Golden Rule?】

– Beep~♪

got a call.

-Kang Eun-byeol-

– gulp.

I swallow my saliva without realizing it.

I answered the call by sliding the call button.

“Hello…?”

My throat tenses and a timid voice comes out.

– Hello?.. Is there anyone around?

“Yes, there is no one.”

– Phew… Okay, first of all, where are you now?

“Me? I’m out of the house now. Oh, by the way, I didn’t go to the association.”

– good. okay. Come to our hideout this morning. I’ll just hang up.

Has the situation become more serious?

Eunbyeol’s tone became more rigid, and I naturally became stiff.

Keep your smartphone pressed to your ear.

【What’re you doing? Didn’t the other person hang up?】

“First, let’s go back home.”

【uh? Okay, I get it.】

“I’ll tell you now when I get home. And.”

【Okay… it would be better if you tell me quickly. and?】

“And… I have to go out for a bit this morning.”

【why?】

“I’ll tell you all of that together. You don’t have to follow me there-”

【no. I will go too.】

**********

We returned home.

I immediately sat down on the mattress.

The same goes for Chaewon.

I immediately and directly answered any questions about myself, knowing that even if they knew my secret, they would not be able to reveal it to anyone else. He told me the facts without hiding anything.

Actually, there was nothing to explain in detail.

Just a function of the system.

To put it more simply, it explained everything to me.

From now on, Chaewon will probably never ask me anything again.

There is a lot of time left until dawn.

How did my life become like this?

What is my purpose?

People sometimes look back on the path they have walked.

In such cases, you usually wonder if the path you have taken is the wrong one.

Or when you regret taking this path.

When you already look back, you look back and see that you have come too far.

I also look back.

The path I have walked.

After I was simply dumped by my ex-girlfriend, I barely survived an EX-level dungeon, acquired a system, and grew to use that ability.

The path I am walking on.

The initial goal was simply to relieve the desire for revenge.

Now all we have to do is watch her slowly decline.

But the question is, why do we risk our lives for growth?

Actually, at first it was a sense of responsibility.

We have to help Eunbyeol.

Even if you joined the group, you are a member of the Villain Golden Rule.

but.

Except all those excuses.

There is only one thing that can truly answer that question.

The path I must walk.

What does the system want from me and what does it want to tell me?

Why was a gate created in this world?

The reason I grow is to solve my curiosity.

I can’t stand what I’m curious about.

okay. I am a boring, selfish, self-centered person… that kind of person.

However, more than half of the people in the world are like me and are as bad as me.

I know that? Everyone is an ‘actor’.

Everyone is repeating the play every day.

People are just ‘acting’ to live on the stage of this ‘reality’.

Everyone’s true feelings are different.

There are very few people who live according to their hearts.

Wearing a smiling mask.

Those who are always ready to put a knife in their back.

We call such people ‘adults.’

It’s just a management skill that you must know how to do when you become an adult.

In order to survive, I have to push other people.

I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.

The story leaked somewhere else.

… I hope all of this doesn’t turn out to be a dream.

The time has come.

Time has passed.

It’s dawn now.

Before leaving for the Golden Rule’s hideout, I decided to receive the effect of the grown druggie’s grace.

I drank all the face-changing potion that was lying in the corner of the house.

It tastes like old tap water.

I ended up filling my stomach with water.

“Shall we take off now?”

When I look out the window, it is raining heavily.

I tried to wait until the rain stopped, but it seemed like the sun would come out that way.

I took my umbrella and opened the front door to go outside.

It was then.

“Cock! Cough!”

Every time I cough, I feel like my heart is being stabbed.

I eventually got down on my knees and sat down.

【W-what is it? Are you okay?】

There was blood on my shoes.

Hemoptysis from my cough.

“Fuck… Seol, this is… no, no… it must be.”

– Tiring!

[A strong debuff has been detected!]

“Ugh… buff, window… view…”

==========

EX level.

As expected, there was something unusual about that black armored guy.

If I hadn’t been ruled by the parasite, there wouldn’t have been a trace of me.

【Don’t you have to go to the hospital?!】

“Hehe… Let’s leave first.”

【uh…】

The first thing to do is to meet Eunbyeol.

**********

– Quagwang!

Lightning flashing and striking.

As if in response, the sound of thunder boomed loudly.

Rain falling steadily.

green nature.

Deep darkness.

And the manhole cover under my feet.

There is still moss and it is slippery.

First, I folded the umbrella.

I opened the manhole cover and climbed down the ladder.

【.. What is the sewer under the manhole cover…? No, more than that, why on earth do you go in there?】

‘Be quiet and follow me.’

【… eww…】

jumped off the ladder.

【Oh, the inside is clean? There is no bad smell at all!】

I walked for about 3 minutes and found the door to the hideout.

Honestly, it feels like I’m coming back after a long time.

I took out my smartphone and sent a text message to Eunbyul.

>Me: Everyone is here. Open the door.

>Eunbyeol♥: Yes. Just wait, I’ll open it right away.

I can’t open this door alone.

I don’t know the password.

– Suddenly.

“Come in. It’s been a while?.. I’m using that face well too.”

“That’s right.”

“Honestly, I won’t notice much of a difference, but…”

We started talking as soon as we saw each other.

– Crash.

It’s the sound of the door closing again.

We walked into the living room and sat down in our chairs.

First, I tried to calm Chaewon down, who was obviously panicking.

‘This is the golden rule I mentioned earlier-’

【Wow, that girl has really big breasts!… Did she grow them with drugs? Or surgery? That size can’t be natural!】

‘… what?’

【I think it’s the biggest person I’ve ever seen! Even at my dad’s company, there wasn’t anything like that!】

‘It’s my fault for worrying about you… Just stay still.’

【joy. You won’t be able to hear my voice anyway, so what’s the problem?】

Chaewon quickly lost interest and left to look elsewhere, like a puppy.

“Siwoo. Why is your location tracker missing?”

A strong straight that comes straight in.

“That’s it. Um, whatever. I think someone else stole it.”

“Really? You mean you didn’t remove it yourself?”

“Uh… Yes.”

I was unable to meet Eunbyeol’s eyes like a person who had committed a sin.

“Good. If so, let me change the question. Someone else took away the tiny, microscopic location tracker embedded in his body?”

“Yeah… I think so.”

Eunbyeol, who heard what I said, looked at me with her chin resting as if she was dumbfounded.

“Do you think that makes sense? They put it in a position where it would hurt to take it out? There’s no way you wouldn’t notice.”

I was in trouble.

Can I say this?

I’m not sure, but I think someone named Baek Harin stole it.

Can I tell Eunbyeol?

I felt as if I was betraying Harin.

Which side should I be on?

I was faced with a choice.

Either/or.

This is the problem I hate the most and face the most.

If you miss what I’m talking about now, you’ll probably end up regretting this moment.

still. My choice was number 3.

snitch on her

wrap around her

The answer is not even.

“I will look for it at the association.”

If someone here says they have doubts, they are definitely OUT.

That person will be questioned.

“Ha… Yeah, if you take care of it pretty well, I’ll be fine.”

“Phew…”

I couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

“Well, about that. Siwoo, I think you’ve gotten a little stronger?”

“Oh, do you recognize me?”

I quickly became elated.

“Yes, my eyes were not wrong as expected. In fact, he was hiding his power.”

“… Well, I’m not really hiding my power.”

“Um….”

Eunbyeol seemed to be worried about something.

Then he suddenly took off the coat he was wearing.

“Ha… It’s a bit hot even with the air conditioner on. I was wondering if fall was coming soon.”

“Autumn has arrived, but considering the location of this hideout, wouldn’t it be meaningless?”

Actually, fall is coming soon.

“And even though it’s underground, there isn’t a single bug here. I don’t know who does it, but it seems like they clean very neatly.”

I praised this place for not having any bugs.

“Hmm.. Okay, Siwoo, you.”

“Huh?”

Eunbyeol got up from her seat and walked towards me.

“You knew that the location tracker was gone, right?”

“Yes… I found out this morning too.”

Actually, I found out during the day.

Isn’t that what it is?

“So you’re saying you didn’t run away even though I had no means to control you?”

“Well, that’s right. There is nowhere else to go but here.”

Eunbyul skimmed my shoulder with her finger.

Then he opened the door to go into his room.

“I guess I should give a reward to a good child who doesn’t run away and listens well even after being unshackled… Come to my room in 30 minutes. You can look forward to it.”

After saying that, Eunbyeol went into the room.

‘What is an award? Is it really like that?’

I found Chaewon.

‘hey. ‘Where are you?’

I prepared to put Chaewon back on the sword before receiving the award.

‘If it’s a prize, it’s definitely… ‘that’… right?’

I looked around.

And then I found Chaewon.

She is in Eunbyeol’s room, in front of the door.

‘What are you doing there?’

【Hmm… as expected.】

‘What is it? Get in here quickly-‘

【Fortunately, I think I’m better at lower body!】
