chapter 47
Episode 47. jwachungudol (3)
As you can see.
Kang Ah-ram and Eom Na-yeon were old friends.
and.
‘Even in the original work, Kang Ah-ram and Eom Na-yeon’s chemistry was the worst.’
If you go on a mission with two of them, they will force you to lose the game even if the player has almost won the game.
The act of deliberately placing these two as companions among old players. There was even a separate hardcore play format called the so-called ‘Jwachungudol Challenge’.
‘Because if the two of them were next to each other, they would make a fuss and make a fuss all the time.’
No matter how quick the play, the combination that made a game over if luck didn’t follow. He expressed disapproval because he was put in a position where he had to deal with it in reality.
‘This isn’t it. Not really. It’s not, but… … .’
Is there any other sharp point? In this situation, is there any justification for sending back Eom Na-yeon, who came to help after a long time?
unfortunately there was no
So I felt dizzy.
“hey! Bring someone other than him. There are not so many talented people in this signal? Does it have to be this base?”
“sister. So, you said you were sorry then.”
“Go away! And who do you call a sister? don’t pretend to be friendly Unlucky Ohm stuck!”
“Huh… … .”
“Look at me pretending to be cute? It looks like it’s going to be really nasty… Woo-wook.”
The story was like this.
Kang Ah-ram’s original hideout was not on the roof of the 2nd year building, but a park between the backyards of the 1st and 2nd year buildings. It was a bench in a park that students do not often find because of its inaccessibility.
Then one day, Eom Na-yeon drags her away, saying that she found a good place to eat lunch from close friends. Right to the park where Kang Ah-ram took a nap.
“oh. look over there Someone is lying over there.”
“Looking at the tie, it looks like a senior?”
“Look at me lying like that in a public place. Don’t you think it’s a waste? Besides, what is that wearing a skirt? Aww, sublime.”
“Let’s not become such pathetic seniors.”
The first meeting was like this.
“At that time, that senior. Are you eating alone on the bench over there?”
「I feel sorry for you. Don’t you have any friends?”
“Hey! Be careful with your words. You look like a badass just by looking at it. If you say something wrong, you might be taken to a back alley and beat us up.”
“Since these b*tches want to see you, keep talking! Since I’m still, do I look like a guardian!”
In the second meeting, it finally exploded.
In fact, Nayeon Eom did not agree with her friends’ conversation and only smiled awkwardly. The problem is that Na-yeon Eom stopped when the pissed-off A-ram Kang approached as if he was about to hit him.
and.
「Huh, huh. to be sick… . What kind of nature do you have, you block all of my attacks with ease, damn it… … .”
“wow! Senpai, what is that nature just now? It was really cool!”
“Kuh. are you insulting me? If you’re going to knock me down, just beat me down!”
“senior. no, sister! Can I call you sister? The nature I showed you earlier was really pretty, but can’t you show it one more time?”
「Kiyaaak! This b*tch, I can’t hear you!」
Roughly, I repeated this series of flows two or three more times.
“sister. How did you meet your uncle? You didn’t like hanging out with other people.”
“I told you to turn it off. yes?”
“oh! Maybe sister… . Heh heh. Are you interested in that kind of uncle?”
“What, have you been crazy the whole time?! A parasitic brother like that is not my taste! I can’t possibly do it. Come out to the back alley I will really crush you this time!”
That relationship has become what it is now.
“that… . Shall I bring someone else?”
Seol Chae-hwa, aware of the situation, looked at her slightly and asked.
I looked at the grumbling duo.
“No, it’s okay. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think there’s a better person than Nayeon Eom. The same goes for Aram Kang.”
I massaged my forehead with my index finger and organized my thoughts.
‘Originally, the colleague I was planning to bring after Kang A-ram… … it will be hard too It was too much for me to be stretched out for over 15 days after the villa incident.’
Kang Ah-ram was just unusual. Usually, it took at least a month to meet the characters and fully embrace them as allies.
It wasn’t simply ‘because it was like that in the original’.
In addition to winning the heart of the person in question, the relationship must be deep enough to cooperate with the difficult task of thwarting the Septagram’s plans. There was no time to develop the relationship that far now.
I took out my smartphone and checked the date.
In about three weeks comes the day when the third episode begins. I wanted to somehow finish this satellite project before then.
‘If things go wrong, there will be a catastrophe in which the two main episodes overlap each other.’
It was the worst variable as much as the death of the main characters of Psychic Age.
Just thinking about it made me dizzy.
“How long are you going to fight? Stop everyone now. I’m going to explain why I’ve summoned you all here.”
“Who said they fought, Uncle. I was just talking.”
“her! Look at him fawning.”
After coming out to the living room, we sat facing each other on the sofas arranged in a row.
Seol Chae-hwa talked about the situation she was in and asked the two of them what she had done to me.
“It’s Chaehwa. There was such a story. For some reason, he called me with an unusually serious atmosphere… … . Believe me. Even if the world doesn’t trust you, I’ll be your ally.”
“Thank you, Nayeon.”
Eom Na-yeon held Seol Chae-hwa’s hands and shed tears. Kang Ah-ram crossed one leg and leaned crookedly on the back of the sofa.
“Because I made a deal to help the counselor here in the first place. Their story is honestly none of my business, and I’ll take care of things for sure.”
“A deal?”
“huh? transaction?”
Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon look at me with puzzled eyes.
“Oh, well. That’s what you mean.”
“hehehe. Wouldn’t the transaction between a man and a woman be obvious?”
Kang Ah-ram giggled before I could explain anything.
Eom Na-yeon looked at me and Kang A-ram alternately and said, “Oh, Maya…” .’ I made the same sound, and Seol Chae-hwa looked at me with eyes asking me to ask about the emotion she felt a moment ago.
“Aram Kang. Do not make misleading remarks. This is not the time to play around.”
“Hi-Hi. I’m sorry~ I don’t think I’ll have a chance to repay you for what you’ve been through now.”
Seol Chae-hwa then asked a hint.
“Then what did you do with Kim Do-yoon, senior?”
“ah. that’s a secret It doesn’t matter if this gentleman says it’s okay to talk. how is it?”
Aram Kang looked at me and passed the question.
“… Let’s just focus on blocking the satellite project. The story keeps going wrong.”
I slowly turned around.
The situation would have been difficult if they asked each other closely, but fortunately, Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon did not. In the meantime, Aram Kang was curiously looking at me.
‘Do you have anything to say? If he had any business, he would have taken it out right away due to his personality.’
For now, I decided to focus on the original conversation topic.
“Now that I have briefly explained the situation, I will tell you my plan from now on. If anyone has an opinion, please let me know without hesitation.”
Under the leadership of Seol Chae-hwa, we entered into a meeting to block the satellite project.
Where is the satellite project laboratory located? What is the internal structure of the building and security devices like? What is our ultimate goal, etc.
As in the original work, it was like sharing important information related to the research institute and establishing an operation plan.
“for a moment.”
“yes?”
The meeting, which had been going smoothly, was nearing its conclusion. Just when the conversation was about to go about who to send to which laboratory.
“I don’t think raiding all three labs at the same time is a good idea.”
I objected to Seol Chae-hwa’s opinion and continued by pointing to one of the three lab interior maps on the desk.
“Let’s attack only one place here by joining forces.”
“Mr. Kim Do-yoon. I have to stop the satellite project altogether.”
“I know what you’re worried about. Are you concerned that if we don’t raid all at once, the other two labs will hear about it and deal with it?”
Seol Chae-hwa is thinking of spreading the atrocities of the septagram by securing research materials after raiding the research institute.
If the other two institutes hear the news and destroy the data or hide the research records themselves, she may not be able to completely clear her name.
… … It was common to think so.
“Even if you only aim for one spot. This lab here is the largest and the most heavily guarded, so isn’t it right that we should aim for this one? Here are some more key pieces of evidence… … .”
“Is this lady crazy?”
Seol Chae-hwa was talking while pointing at the map on the side of the laboratory map I had marked. Kang Ah-ram, who had been listening quietly without any opinion, intervened.
Kang Ah-ram raised the tip of his chin as if asking what he would do if he looked at Seol Chae-hwa’s gaze.
“Isn’t this your purpose after all? In order to clear your name, all you have to do is show off the evidence after smashing the satellite project plan that made you misunderstand that you were cooperating.”
“The more evidence you have, the better. And if you don’t raid all at once, the children will also be harmed for the destruction of evidence in other laboratories that have heard the news… … .”
Before Seol Chae-hwa could finish her words, A-ram Kang suddenly raised her voice.
“Ahhh! Noisy! It’s important to clear your name now, is it important to satisfy your sense of justice? Whether there’s a little or a lot of evidence, it’s as long as you have it. It is purely your greed that you want to secure more.”
“Uh, sister.”
“Sir! Eom Na-yeon, keep your mouth shut. Interfering in it makes me angry, but it’s even better. So what you said earlier. Um, where did you say that? … ah. yes. What about harm to children? Chaebol lady, are you very natural? Did you think I wouldn’t know that you secretly put your own greed in the front and bury the children in the back?”
“… … .”
Seol Chae-hwa didn’t say anything. Kang Ah-ram glared at her and put one leg on the desk in front of her.
“This is why I hate guys like you. So what are we playing chess for the big country? If you get hit by an opponent’s chess piece, is it okay if you move it to the side? Children’s lives are lives, and our lives are not even lives?”
“… … .”
“There are a total of three research institutes, so one person at each? Wow, I’m going crazy. Did you know that when I first heard that story, my mind almost went back howling 360 degrees east, west, north, south?”
“I thought it would be possible with all our strength… … .”
“Then, if at least one person dies! Who will be in charge then, you desk-headed b*tch!”
Seol Chae-hwa, who was trying to protest something, opened her eyes wide. At first, her eyes, somewhat lost and wandering around, slowly turned to me.
“ah… … .”
Her small sighs burst out before long.
I gently closed my eyes.
‘I thought I was a little better, but Kang A-ram is Kang A-ram after all.’
It was somewhat unfortunate that the conversation was overheated, but I deliberately did not mediate. Because Kang Ah-ram had to make him express his emotions once. After that, he goes on his own, then becomes quiet for a while.
I opened my eyes and looked at Kang Ah-ram.
“Aram Kang. Will you follow me?”
“What are you asking again?”
“If I suggested that we go one at a time, would you?”
“… … under. When did you say you were only aiming for one spot?”
“You said if.”
Kang Ah-ram grunted and put his legs under the desk.
“The weaklings who said that something happened the other day and ended up in the hospital are full of bravado. I don’t know if you fall behind.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“madam. shrink! anyway! I’m going to follow that boss, so you guys take care of yourself.”
Kang Ah-ram said that and closed his eyes with his arms folded as if he had no intention of talking any more.
I waited until there was some lull in the atmosphere.
In the meantime, Eom Na-yeon timidly raised her hand.
“huh. say it.”
“Hey, Uncle. You asked me to go to the lab here for a reason, right?”
“I called that a question and sat down! They must have chosen it because they could secure the evidence safely!”
These were the words of Aram Kang, who acted as if he would no longer participate in the conversation.
“Aram Kang. It’s wrong, so stay still.”
“sh*t… . No.”
Kang Ah-ram turned his head away, perhaps feeling ashamed.
‘The reason I chose this lab is, of course, because it’s real.’
Didn’t they say it was dark under the lamp? Septagram used this to deliberately store important data related to research in the most flimsy laboratory.
I remembered exactly why. They already expected Seol Chae-hwa to dig up their information and launch a counterattack.
‘I intentionally leaked other information while thoroughly hiding the existence of key data.’
Because of that, when he came across information about the research institute sloppily, he was induced to think like Seol Chae-hwa, that there might be a bigger secret hidden in the more serious-looking research institute.
‘And the moment I hit it. bang.’
A trap commensurate with its gigantic scale will be waiting for us unless it is a meteor.
I moved my gaze from the laboratory map suggested by Seol Chae-hwa to the map I had chosen.
‘Important data, of course, will be here, and it’s highly likely that full-fledged satellite project research is also being done here.’
The problem is how I found out this information that I can be sure of because I know the original work. It was the moment when he needed an explanation.
I had something in mind.
While engaging with Glene, I took a close look inside my head. I was planning to get around it that way.
In fact, since you have that ability, it will add credibility. Because I have memory reading.
‘It would be difficult if I just asked if I could read that in actual combat.’
I just hoped that these kids wouldn’t ask that far.
“The thing I said to go into this lab… … .”
“hey. Let’s not pretend, let’s just be honest.”
Kang Ah-ram pulled his bangs up.
“huh?”
“Anyway, we rode each other. It’s a relationship where you can trust each other. no?”
“Right. Everyone gathered here can be trusted.”
“Then what are you hiding like a gi-bae? just let it all out Didn’t we originally try to raid that laboratory?”
The atmosphere of staleness was reduced by her bombshell remarks.
It was an unexpected sudden move.
