Boom!
“Kkwah!”
“My eyes!”
“I can’t see ahead!”
Not only the guards and villagers who didn’t know what the flash grenade was, but also the soldiers being dragged away were blinded and lost their hearing due to the flash that went off before they could even close their eyes.
I thought about using [Placebo ID Cards], but I thought it would be easier to use flashbangs than to go through the hassle of creating new identities and persuading the transferees to take over.
I took advantage of the moment when no one was coming to their senses and quickly ran away, grabbing three of the men. Two of them were holding me by the neck, and one was carrying me on his shoulder.
And he threw them onto the haystack in the stable where Kim Jae-yoon and Scarlett were waiting.
They were flailing their arms and legs and talking nonsense, and only became quiet after Kim Jae-yoon and I slapped them on the cheek a few times.
After some time had passed and his sight and hearing had returned, a man covered in rags, Jeonja, opened his mouth as he looked at us surrounding him.
“What the hell are you guys doing! Where the hell am I!”
‘You still haven’t come to your senses. Should I have hit you a little harder?’
I didn’t even know who had the initiative and I just looked around with hostility.
But when I saw her swollen cheeks, I felt like if I hit her any more, her teeth would fall out or her jaw would turn.
If it was someone I wanted to kill, then it wouldn’t matter, but since it wasn’t a level that absolutely required killing, I intentionally kept the situation in my hands.
“I saved you from the villagers, but no special thanks?”
“Village residents…? That’s right! Those bastards… When I told you to help me find the witch, you just captured a bunch of people…! Is it possible that the entire village is in cahoots with the witch?”
Then, he flinched when he saw us hiding our appearance by covering ourselves with our robes.
“No way… Are you guys also on the witch’s side?”
At those pitiful words, Kim Jae-yoon sighed softly behind her and Scarlett felt her shoulders slightly shake.
Scarlett really pulled out the witch’s mark and showed a momentary stinging reaction, but the man who saw her reaction was convinced that his suspicions were right and became excited.
The male party members were also shaking their butts.
If we hadn’t been standing blocking the entrance to the stable, it looked like they would have run away already.
‘This isn’t even a hedgehog. It’s got a lot of spines. How on earth did it save the party?’
Maybe it’s just a bunch of similar guys meeting up.
I decided not to bother explaining it.
‘Sigh… Well, that’s okay. What good is being smart about those who are going to be eliminated anyway?’
Instead, I intended to thoroughly dig up the necessary information.
Since they waited a day, I’m sure they shared their roles with each other like we did.
“I won’t kill you. Instead, you have to give us the information we want.”
“Who are you to be talking nonsense like this and that… ”
Phew!
“… … !”
I opened my mouth and babbled as the wind blasted from my fingers and hit the shin of the guy who was talking nonsense.
As soon as I arrived on the third floor yesterday, I heard the guy say that his role was that of a villager.
“Keueugh… !”
There was a sound of something breaking, and the foaming at the mouth guy’s eyes slowly rolled back until only the whites of his eyes remained.
The guy just fainted and fell to the floor.
No, the portal that was created at his feet in an instant swallowed him up, so he couldn’t even fall down properly.
All that remained where the guy had been standing was a villager’s token with a hole in the middle.
“What the…!”
“Harish is… dead!”
The rest of the men, having lost one of their comrades in an instant, were terrified and hid themselves against the wall of the stable.
It was like a herbivore that encountered a wild beast and was struggling to get as far away as possible.
I explained indifferently, shaking off my awkward feeling from my fingers.
“I didn’t kill him. I eliminated him.”
When we captured the unconscious guys and brought them in, we already knew where the sign was hidden.
There’s no way you’d be able to find a place to hide your token in an unfamiliar town.
Since the token did not go into the inventory provided by the tower, he ended up having to hide it deep inside his bosom.
The guy who was eliminated hid the symbol in his underwear.
My aiming there was simply an inevitable choice.
“The guy who dropped out is a villager. Now what I want to know is the roles you were given and the roles of the rest of the group who are hiding somewhere in the village.”
The total number of party members seen near the well yesterday was five. Three were captured by the villagers.
If we succeed in opening these guys’ mouths, we will know the identities of all of them except for the two transference agents whose faces we have not yet seen.
And it wasn’t that difficult to get the guys to open their mouths.
I said, snapping my fingers.
“If you don’t answer honestly…you know?”
The guys’ faces turned pale.
.
.
.
When I thought about it, there were two main feats that could be accomplished on this floor.
One is the last-ditch method of killing all the transference agents as quickly as possible and surviving alone to pass the test.
In this case, you can get one more feat by dealing with the NPCs in the village.
However, this method is not something we can consider when entering together with our clan members.
In that case, we have to choose another case.
The point is that you have to reach a conclusion quickly. It goes without saying that even if you see the same results, the one that is achieved in a shorter period of time is more likely to be recognized as an achievement.
However, I planned to eliminate all the other transferees, excluding the party, without killing them, and make sure that none of the NPCs die in the process.
As I said before, failing this test won’t cost you your life.
However, in the process of stealing each other’s tokens, fights and conflicts are unavoidable, and there are always sacrifices due to those who are greedy.
This goes without saying for NPCs, who are often not even treated as human beings because they are residents of the tower.
When I thought about it, there must have been some people who simply wiped out the transferees and conducted tests to make it easier to distinguish them. The first case would be something like this.
So, if the game ends quickly without anyone losing any lives, it could be considered a feat.
It is my ability to pick up a few more small feats along the way.
“With this, we’ve figured out the roles of almost all the transfers. Since those guys’ party consists of 5 people, things are easy.”
Kim Jae-yoon came next to me and opened his mouth.
As he said, we figured out all the roles assigned to the eight transferees, excluding the three of us and the five who formed the party, and the two transferees whose identities are still unknown.
They weren’t so stubborn that they kept their mouths shut even when threatened with having holes drilled in their legs if they didn’t cooperate.
The roles assigned to the quintet were nothing special.
All four of them, except one, played the role of ordinary townspeople, while the remaining one was a suspicious wanderer.
“The funny thing is, the guy who took on the role of the suspicious wanderer tricked his fellow comrades into thinking he was a villager.”
“Yeah. I guess he was planning to either betray or reveal his identity in the end.”
Since the remaining four members of the group were all on the same side, it was understandable that they hid their roles.
If the identity of the suspicious wanderer is revealed, then only the villagers will be left, and he will automatically be eliminated, so in the end, he will be the only one to make the sacrifice.
Perhaps he was watching the situation unfold and deciding when to reveal his identity.
However, because we forcibly revealed his identity before he could confess on his own, the one who was left seemed to resent the guy who lied about his role more than us.
“It’s fun, but it’s not over yet. Let’s get moving now.”
“Yes.”
I got up from my seat and put the hay bales back in their original place.
While interrogating the men we brought in, we spread aura throughout the village to roughly determine the locations of those believed to be the transferees.
This was possible because the village was small.
It was difficult to distinguish the exact appearance of the person through the senses, but the village was now in a state of chaos, as if a beehive had been stirred up after the guards had been ambushed while escorting an outsider who had been causing trouble.
In this situation, if there are guys like us who are hiding in a stable, we can suspect them of being metastases.
“Okay, take this.”
“Yes, net… !”
I copied Kim Jae-yoon’s astrologer’s sign and gave it to Scarlett.
Since I am a villager, I cannot change roles to an astrologer on the same side. This is possible because my original role was Scarlett, a witch.
In the first place, only one copy was possible.
Still, it was enough to confirm the identities of the two remaining transferees.
Although it was only a procedure to confirm that they were priests or villagers, this allowed both Kim Jae-yoon and Scarlett to use the astrologer’s role of insight twice a day.
“Pass the 3rd floor today.”
