Episode.34 The missing location tracker

Yes.

In this book, content related to revenge is often presented, stimulating my imagination.

Did the person who wrote this book want revenge like me?

Revenge is a burning sensation before it is taken, but after it is achieved, it is only bitter.

And when a third party sees it, it always looks different depending on the person’s emotions.

A burning desire for revenge. You won’t know unless you put yourself in that person’s shoes.

Even indirect knowledge has its limits.

I also read this and I feel emotional.

Originally, plurals were read in proportion to the mood in which they were read.

If the person is in a good mood, they criticize the person taking revenge.

However, if that person is having a bad day, you can’t help but root for the person taking revenge, no matter how they do it.

That’s people. Because it is the instinct of the human species.

Also, what this Apocalypse wanted to convey is that no other species knows the most effective way to kill each other than humans do.

To put it simply, it means that they have developed a knack for killing their own people.

The most intelligent, the weakest and the cruelest race,

It can be said to be human.

Isn’t that what this ‘Apocalypse of the Traitor’ wanted to say? guessing.

The ‘ring guard’ is also mentioned in this book.

After all, there is something. The world inside the Black Gate seemed to be no ordinary dungeon.

Of course, this is after receiving the blessing of the system.

I couldn’t understand what had passed so quickly, but it felt like everything was coming into my head.

‘Is this also an effect of the system?..’

【Ah… Why are you staring at me so hard when you can’t even read?… Give it to me.】

Chaewon took the book away and stared at it for a long time.

The book with the red cover seemed a little heavy for her, and the hand holding it seemed to be shaking a little.

‘Or maybe it’s true that Chaewon is weak…’

【I-I’m not weak!… But what is this? It’s not Latin, right?】

“It’s not Latin?”

I looked at Chaewon in surprise and said.

【Yeah, this isn’t Latin… Isn’t it some other ancient script? This is my first time seeing these letters.】

Chaewon said that and handed the book back to me with both hands.

Was it quite heavy? Honestly, this is a weight that even an average girl can lift with one hand.

It’s lighter than the basics of mathematics.

Anyway, I looked at the book again.

“Then is this like a hieroglyph?”

【Well, even if you ask me… I don’t know if it’s a book brought from Egypt or not.】

‘Usually hieroglyphs are letters created by imitating the physical shape of objects that are common in Egypt…’

I thought about what the black armor guy said, just in case.

– ‘Savior, may God’s salvation be upon this desolate land.’

This barren land.

It is clearly not talking about the outside world.

Could it be that another world exists within the Black Gate?

Well, didn’t they say that there are parallel worlds and parallel universes?

However, before obtaining the system, Black Gate was just one of the simple instance dungeons, or instance dungeons for short.

‘As expected, there’s something in the system… It’s not just a blessing…’

【Sigh…. Then if you can’t read this, all you’ve come this far is in vain, right? Why did I go through all that trouble…】

My random thoughts were interrupted by Chaewon’s loud voice.

“Ai… what did you do? I was thinking about something important right now…”

I said as I put the book in my inventory.

【Oh, what is that?.. Right, I have to tell you now, right? What is the system?】

She also seemed to notice to some extent.

“… I’ll tell you about it before I go to bed at home.”

I can’t put it off any longer.

【You promised, right?】

I nodded.

But there was one more book placed on the wooden round table.

“What is that? Surely it wasn’t just that one red book?”

I picked up the book.

From the looks of it, this book looked like someone’s old diary.

I quickly skimmed through it, and as expected, this was a text that I couldn’t read.

It didn’t seem that important, so I put it in my inventory.

When I finally looked back, the black armored guy was already long gone.

He became the gate and was leading us out.

The gate was still mushy, as if it would cause an unpleasant sensation.

I picked up the sword and put it in my inventory.

‘It would be better to keep it here from now on.’

【huh? Hey, but you sold one of your rings somewhere.】

“A ring? Ah… this?”

I said, looking at the pledge ring that was fastened to my left ring finger.

“I don’t know, I tried to take it out, but it didn’t come out well. I guess it’s a binding item.”

【No… that’s not it, you wore two rings on one finger. Where did the rest go?】

“Ah.. I took care of that well. That… in inventory.”

【… If you don’t tell me before going to bed, I’ll curse you.】

“Even if I don’t threaten you with a curse, I think it’s time to tell you.”

【Yeah, really? That’s it then. Now let’s get out of this unpleasant place quickly.】

We gathered everything we needed and headed out the gate toward the place that gave us that unpleasant sensation.

I felt like I would never get used to this feeling until I died.

– Tiring!

[You have cleared the world of traitors.]

We finally got out of this creepy cemetery.

All limbs intact.

‘I was lucky.’

**********

– Shuung!

“Huh? What, this is near my house?”

We were in a dark alley near the studio I was staying in.

【What, didn’t you know?… Well, if you’re just staring at the keys, how can you afford to look around?】

It was bright before I went in, and it was still bright when I came out.

As expected, time passes slowly at Black Gate.

“Well… it’s amazing, right?”

【what.】

“Time passes slowly inside that black gate. Is there any reason?”

【How do I know that?】

Well then.

– Kotok!

The only person who can send me a KoTalk message is Eunbyeol.

Since it was the weekend, I looked at my smartphone, thinking about going to see her.

3 missed calls and 10 unread messages.

It’s nothing like this, it’s just an ordinary number.

I thought I would have to dive for a really long time to get this much contact from one person.

But at the same time, I was reminded again of the slow passage of time in Black Gate.

Eunbyeol knows my location.

They said I definitely had a location tracker inside my body.

So, isn’t that why they started pouring in on me as soon as I disappeared? I also thought about it.

I checked the text message from her.

I checked the text and found something strange.

When I think about it, from last week until now.

Why is she texting me thinking I’m in the association?

I occasionally exchange KoTalk with Eunbyeol.

It seems like they are checking to see if they are doing well.

Something I would never say if she had CCTV installed in my room.

This is the conversation we had last Tuesday.

>Eunbyeol♥: How is the association these days? Since they are new, they seem to be working hard…

>Me: It’s not particularly difficult.

Afterwards, some light chatting.

A conversation we had last Thursday.

>Eunbyeol♥: Do you work while staying overnight?

>Me: It’s not particularly difficult haha. To that extent;;

Afterwards, a light Saddam.

And today. just now.

>Eunbyeol♥: What are you doing?

>Eunbyeol♥: Are you working at the association on weekends as well?

>Eunbyeol♥: There’s no answer?

>Eunbyeol♥: Are you busy?

>Eunbyeol♥: Something is strange.

>Eunbyeol♥: Where are you? Why aren’t you answering the phone?

>Eunbyeol♥: Why is the location tracker still in the association?

>Eunbyeol♥: Are you sure you work in the night shift room?

>Eunbyeol♥: You weren’t kidnapped, right?

>Eunbyeol♥: Why do I keep showing up as a member of the association since last week? Answer the truth quickly.

Can a location tracker be removed from my body?

The answer to that can be said to be No.

Definitely when I first got into the Golden Rule… when I was passed out.

Eunbyeol clearly told me that a microscopic location tracker was planted at that time.

– ‘… Of course, I planted it deep inside your body when you came here and passed out… Huh~’

At that time, I remembered Eunbyeol blowing air deep into my ear, and pleasant goosebumps appeared all over my body.

‘No, this isn’t what’s important…’

The important thing is that there is a location tracker in my body.

It would take sophisticated technology to pull it out.

Who on earth stole the location tracker from my body?

This would be an extraction operation that would only be possible if I became incapable of combat.

There definitely is.

The moment I lost consciousness.

As long as I don’t lose consciousness, there’s no way I won’t notice it penetrating my flesh and taking a location tracker from my awake body. Even if it hurt, it was clear that he would feel and notice the pain.

‘When was it?… No way… then?’

According to Eunbyeol’s words, it seemed like the location tracker in my body was now at the association.

A thought that comes to mind like a ghost.

The experience of that day… I could say I haven’t forgotten it yet.

Memories flooded my mind.

It’s amazing. unfamiliar.

Even the feeling of ‘medicine’.

A feeling you can’t forget even if you want to.

If I wake up here and now, I will never be able to escape. but.

My brain is already lost in flashbacks.

The person who belongs to the association.

– ‘You… enjoy this moment.’

The person who is currently in the association and made me faint.

– ‘How does it feel as if you are entering a dream?’

The person who has no choice but to always be in the association.

-‘You… have a nice dream.’

She is whiter than the pure white snow that falls in winter.

– ‘Fall with me…’

Her name is.

The person who took the location tracker that showed me that I belonged to the Golden Rule.

maybe.

No, absolutely.

There are no surprises.

you.

Baek Harin, she is probably the culprit who stole my location tracker.
