‘her.’
Yuhan-wol, who was looking at the news, sighed inwardly.
While traveling to Incheon, I was checking various information in the car.
Situations before you go into beta testing.
He looked at this from an objective point of view again through a news search.
But was it because life in the game was too real?
Rather, the memory of Yuhan Moon felt hazy.
Finding relevant information was easy.
This was because articles about the past activities of the world’s richest man, Bruce Hendrick, were overflowing.
On the contrary, there were so many overlapping contents that it was difficult to find the intended one.
‘… There is not much meaningful content.’
[BH Real, playing the role of a control tower that utilizes the strengths of each acquired game company, and integrates and redistributes those strengths]
Other than that, there are those who can’t even be considered knights.
[New reality games are about to be completed]
[It’s too realistic and dangerous… Announcement pending until users’ safety is verified]
[Beta testing of developed games in progress]
‘Beta testing… ‘
At that time, he only knew that NMA had been acquired by BH Real right before he got an offer for beta testing and went to an interview.
How could you be so ignorant?
Of course, looking back now, it would be difficult to guess that the test was related to human experiments…
‘I see as much as I know.’
But now Yuhan-wol is no longer just an ordinary young man.
Based on experience, it is like an old man who has lived a tumultuous life once.
That was then.
“Here is an unusual article.”
Yang Gwang-gwang, who was looking at the phone screen, suddenly opened his mouth.
“The content of the article is long, but if you just look at the point… BH’s strategy has a clear limit to popularization, so the direction setting is wrong. It will fail – yes. This is absolutely critical.”
He smiled and continued.
“What… Still, doesn’t it make sense?
“Why do you think so?”
“To properly implement a reality game, you need quite expensive equipment, which is a burden for individuals to purchase. However, it will not be easy for small and medium-sized companies such as PC rooms to build such facilities. Even if you make it, how much do you have to pay to make a profit? There wouldn’t be a quick user cycle either. Kwok.”
“Moderately… It might make you enjoy the game at a level that isn’t true reality. Instead, it drastically lowers the equipment requirements.”
“If that’s the case, we could release a properly developed game and equipment right away, but we haven’t done it before. Anyway, there is definitely something strange about it.”
“Well… ”
As if there was nothing more to say about him, Yuhan Wol glanced at the screen once more, which he had been looking at for a while, and said.
“There is very little plausible information.”
“That’s it.”
“Still, at least one thing is clear.”
Yang Gwang turned his head as if asking what it was, Yuhan Wol said.
“Bruce Hendrick, he must be involved in this.”
He made the game industry as BH’s next-generation business and established BH Real and set reality game development as his vision and mission.
world’s richest man.
How great will his power be.
But it was a joke that was uttered without hesitation.
“At least it won’t take any money.”
Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.
* * *
“Are you still in contact?”
Yang Gwang replied to Yuhan Wol’s words.
“There has been no communication yet. We just said we’d see each other at Wolmido. Then I will send you a message saying it has arrived.”
It was the two of them who had been waiting impatiently after arriving at the meeting place.
You have to wait until you get a call.
He continued walking slowly around Wolmido, looking around.
While I couldn’t find anything special, only the happy faces of those enjoying the amusement park caught my eye.
‘family… ‘
As Yuhan Wol’s thoughts turned to that direction, Yang Kwang said.
“But is it okay to meet in a place like this? It would look strange around you. And the way he’s dressed.”
Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang are wearing masks, sunglasses, and caps.
Those two alone would seem suspicious enough, but if a man wearing a helmet appeared, it couldn’t be more suspicious than that.

“what? changed the place He told me to come to Chinatown.”
“You seem to be concerned about being tracked.”
“Then let’s go there as I said.”
Soon, the car with the two of them left Wolmido and moved along the quiet road again.
Yang Gwang grumbled while driving.
“If you just say Chinatown, where do you come from? That’s why even Sever and Corgi must send the army to become a human… ”
Yuhan Wol smiled and passed Yang Gwang’s voice over.
It reminded me of my military service days.
‘Where is your hometown? Seoul. Is all Seoul your home?’
at that time,
weeing weing
As if waiting for Yang Gwang’s words, his phone rang again.
“Are you telling me to come somewhere other than Chinatown’s main parking lot? Oh, I have to go back. Speak quickly, write… ”
Immediately after making a U-turn of the car.
Two eyes on the roof of a tall building caught a car that suddenly changed lanes.
‘found.’
An In-young flew away under the darkened sky.
* * *
After that, the white man changed the meeting place two more times.
Yang Gwang-gwang, who was nervous, didn’t know the reason, so he had no choice but to move on to Aura.
And finally, the two arrived at the pier under construction.
On the dark pier road, only street lamps were lit.
Yang Yang-gwang, who was driving the car, turned off the light instead of increasing the light intensity when the road got dark.
“First… ”
Yang Yang-gwang took off his sunglasses and then turned off all the fine lights in the car.
I was getting close to my destination, and partly because there was no light on the road, so I was worried that the movement of the car would be too obvious.
“I don’t think he came yet?”
Yang Yang-gwang, who parked his car some distance away from the coordinates sent by the white man, said in a quiet voice.
“… ”
Maybe it was because it was a dark and uninhabited place?
As the moment to meet the white man approached, the tension seemed to rise.
Yang Yang-gwang focused with his eyes wide open.
But no matter how hard I rolled my eyes, nothing was caught.
How long have you been?
Yang Gwang opened his mouth as a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
“Aren’t you kidding me again?”
However, Yuhanwol cut those words and spoke in a low tone.
“come.”
At that, Yang Yang-gwang turned his head and looked around, but there was nothing to see.
‘What’s coming?’
Now their location is quite far from the meeting place.
So when he appears, you will have to see it from afar.
But at that moment.
Something creeped out of the darkness like a ghost and stopped in front of the car the two of them were riding in.
Yang Gwang’s pupils dilated for an instant.
‘ah… .’
That’s what we encountered when we escaped from the facility.
A jet-black motorcycle stood in front of me, not letting even the slightest reflected light shed.
If Yuhan Wol hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have noticed it even if it was right in front of me.
It was truly like a ghost.
chuck
And a white man, who looked the same as before, got off the motorcycle.
Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang, who saw it, also opened the door and got out.
After the visor of the white man’s helmet is raised.
With his face exposed, he opened his mouth like a woman.
“Did you rest well?”
Yuhan Wol stepped forward and answered.
“Thanks to.”
The white man observed Yuhan-wol carefully.
He looked very calm last time, but now he seems more relaxed.
That was when I just woke up from the experiment, and now it’s been a while, so maybe it’s a natural change.
However, the white man vaguely sensed that Yuhan Wol’s leisure was not just that.
‘okay. Then it can be called S-class.’
The white man said with a smile inside.
“It’s not appropriate for a long conversation here, so let’s move on.”
“Where?”
“You will know when you go. Just like last time, we move on one motorcycle.”
Then Yang Yang-gwang, who was looking at the white man, exchanged eyes with Yuhan-wol and said,
“no. First, follow us.”
While the white man hesitated, Yang Gwang got into the car without waiting for his answer.
Soon, the car that got on without a word until Yuhan-wol departed, and the white man who was silently staring at them soon followed.
* * *
“I’m following you.”
Yuhan-wol nodded at Yang-gwang’s words as he glanced behind him.
Up until now, this has been the position that the white man has moved on.
But whatever his intentions, it was never desirable to be dragged around like this.
Negotiations are possible only when you can be in a position to sit at the same table.
Although it was sudden, Yuhan Wol thought that Yang Kwang’s judgment was good.
“Good job.”
Yang Gwang said as if it was nothing to praise.
“Whenever you go after something, you have to clean up your car. It wouldn’t be a good idea to just leave it there.”
“Have you seen anything?”
“Yes. There is a suitable place nearby.”
Following the dimly standing light, a white man appeared in the side mirror sporadically.
Yuhanwol thought about his outfit and opened his mouth.
“I’m still wearing my backpack today.”
“It’s my favorite Brandon.”
Although he was a Yangyang-gwang who was treated as if it was insignificant, he recalled the time when he escaped from the facility.
Even then, the backpack the white man was carrying was somewhat burdensome and suspicious.
“At that time, I touched the backpack once.”
“Your hands are fast. when?”
When the motorcycle jumps over the fence of the facility.
Yuhan-wol was holding Yang Yang-gwang, who was falling off the motorcycle in mid-air, with one hand and the white man’s backpack with the other.
Yang Yang-gwang’s expression became strange at Yuhan-wol’s explanation.
Did you even have that in mind in that dire situation?
‘Come to think of it, it wasn’t unusual back then.’
The image of him as he faced a duel with three enemies immediately came to mind.
Extreme coolness and composure that does not lose composure even in that chewy moment.
Yuhan-wol continued to explain whether he knew his feelings or not.
“… So I tried it once.”
“But?”
“The bag didn’t fall off his body.”
“Aren’t you going away?”
In Yang Yang-gwang’s tone that he didn’t quite understand what he was saying, Yuhan-wol continued to explain.
“okay. If you grab the backpack, the shoulder straps aside, the body of the bag has to come off your back, right?”
“Okay.”
“But it didn’t fall off as if the backpack was one body. Like a tortoise shell.”
Yuhan-wol also shrugged at Yang Yang-gwang’s questionable gaze.
In the end, it was because nothing had changed that the truth was not revealed.
“He must have noticed that I had caught it on purpose.”
“Do you have tea?”
“no. I took it naturally, but at the level I showed at the time, there were many other options without having to carry a backpack.”
But since he dared to touch it, he said that he would have guessed the intention of this.
At Yuhanwol’s explanation, doubts arose in Yangyanggwang’s head.
‘But today, I dared to wear that again… .’
Yang Yang-gwang’s eyes went into silence.
