＜ Episode 59 ＞
The sight of Doyle transforming into light and scattering into the air brought an indescribably heavy inspiration to the viewer.
A colorful, warm, and fleeting look.
“···yes. It means you are a stranger.”
Fioren, who was stunned at the scene, muttered quietly.
Fioren was probably the most knowledgeable among the group.
He was a villain who had heard of big game before he changed his name and face to his current name and went into hiding, and he had all kinds of experiences as much as the time he went through.
But even he had never seen a death like this before, and Lucas’ meaning of being a stranger touched his heart.
At that time, everyone was lost in their own thoughts while looking at the end of Doil.
“It is not over yet.”
John, who had been staring at the place where Doyle disappeared with inexpressible complex eyes, stood up from his seat.
“It’s just that we’ve succeeded in capturing the base. Enemies still aiming for this place are scattered outside. It’s not over until you pack your loot and return.”
“Right.”
At John’s words, which were even cold, everyone hardened their faces and gathered their eyes.
“You’re cool, John. No, you don’t seem too surprised.”
Everyone’s expressions strangely changed at Fioren’s words.
“It feels like you’ve seen something like this before?”
Fioren’s question quietly raised the eyebrows of the party.
It seems that he is simply expressing a question, but in reality, there was no one who didn’t know that he was asking John if he was a player.
Peirong’s ears twitched and focused on John’s heartbeat, while Zhao and Lucas watched John’s movements.
People unconsciously express their emotions through actions.
Zhao and Lucas, who had undergone special training, were able to know that by observing each other, and their doubts were deflected.
Come to think of it, John is also a suspicious person.
In an instant, the atmosphere became chilly, and it seemed that guns and knives would be rampant at any moment, but John opened his mouth with a nonchalant attitude.
“I have seen it.”
“···what?”
Zhao and Lucas met their eyes at the usual feminine attitude and gesture, and Fioren and John, who slightly twisted their lips, met their eyes.
“I’ve seen it in the slums.”
After closing his eyes for a moment, John continued.
“When I think about it, it seems that my life has changed a little since then.”
Fioren, Lucas, and Zhao rolled their eyes at John’s words, which seemed to suggest quite a lot, and only Feilong did not change his expression.
Did John see a dying player?
So did John get something from that player?
Could it be that John became a person with this ability because of the player?
A lot of questions asked their tail after tail, and John smiled inwardly when he saw them like that.
In Luna, when there is a dispute, there is no dialogue.
In most cases, they only talk after seeing each other’s blood, because Luna is a world that thoroughly goes back to the logic of power.
‘That’s why it’s clumsy.’
In fact, they have powers beyond humans, and those who do not have powers acquire powers by replacing their bodies with machines.
That’s why Luna’s techniques for psychological warfare, interrogation, and appeasement are weak.
From the perspective of Earth, Lucas, an inspector who corresponds to an undercover agent, is close to a personality breaker, and Zao, a skilled soldier, has lower expectations for operational planning and detail.
Dealing with the people of Luna was not difficult for John, who was a failure caused by everything having powers beyond human beings, and who used human psychology to promote conflict.
At least, the seasoned Fioren sometimes tries to outwit her, but to John, even that is at the level of aegyo.
There was nothing they could gain from John’s ability to control even unconscious reactions through thorough training.
Everything John said there is the truth.
There was no lie in what he just said, so the sincerity of his words must have caused more confusion.
“Continue the story.”
With everyone’s eyes colliding, John asked Lucas.
“Set a policy. You are the leader of this team.”
Originally, the reason the party entered this dungeon was to retrieve various artifacts and items.
However, each thought was different, and in the process of dealing with the trip to Japan, most of the things each individual wanted were obtained.
Lucas and Zhao achieved their goal by killing Doyle, and Fioren lifted some of the curse on himself.
Even if the items in the arsenal and the control center were roughly robbed, the assets Fei-Lung wanted were enough, and John improved his power by leaps and bounds.
Looking at the current situation, the purpose of entering the dungeon has been completed.
If the target strike had been completed, a swift withdrawal had to follow, and only after a safe return could the operation be said to have been completed.
Lucas, whose face was white as if his recovery was slow, widened his eyes as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
“What can I say! Of course everything here belongs to us!”
Eyes overflowing with madness overwhelm the party.
“It took so much effort! I won’t see any bastard get his hands on ours! zone!”
“say.”
Lucas, whose face was viciously distorted, exclaimed with terrifying eyes.
“I will annihilate all who offend me! Can you do it?”
Perhaps overwhelmed by Lucas’s madness, the eyes of the group, blazing with strange heat, focused on John.
Although the battle with Doyle took a lot of damage, the ability of each member of the party is the best among those John has ever met.
John’s head raced furiously, analyzing his current strength and identifying resources that could be used.
Comprehensive work to calculate the geographical advantage of the party and determine whether it is possible to continue fighting.

My mind, which had finished organizing in an instant, came to a conclusion.
‘I thought it would be like this.’
Each and every one of them is talented enough to be ignored wherever they go.
In addition, greed is the same as the essence of everyone living in Luna.
If necessary, it is Luna’s daily life to protect her own or steal others’, even at the cost of blood, and I did not think that those who grew up in such a daily life would leave quietly.
And above all.
‘I’m a bit greedy too.’
It wasn’t even a full-scale search, but I got a big result.
If you actively exclude enemies and rob the entire dungeon, what results will you get?
Having decided on a course, John met the eyes of the group.
“Lucas coordinates the facility in the control room. At the same time, focus on recovering as much as possible. Restore your fighting ability.”
“great!”
Lucas nodded his head wide, smiling brightly.
“Fioren, start the territorialization of the center. This is our base camp.”
“I will.”
Fioren smiled coldly, her eyes shining.
“Feilong guards the entrance. There is no need to actively intercept the enemy. Focus on defense and focus on recovery.”
At John’s words, Peirong put on an honest expression, and John’s gaze turned to Zhao.
Standing upright and facing John’s gaze with both hands behind his waist, Zhao looked like a soldier full of determination to carry out any command.
It showed his willingness to trust and follow John as a field commander, so John could give orders without hesitation.
“Sleep.”
“Write SIR!”
“Get your weapons in the arsenal. take a preemptive strike Thoroughly bind and harass the enemy!”
A cold light flowed from Zhao’s eyes.
“The goal is not to destroy the enemy. The main battleground is here. is the center Buy time and cut the enemy’s power until Fioren finishes territorialization!”
“Write SIR!”
John opened his mouth as he met eyes with each and every one of the party, whose red-hot faces were giving out lively eyes.
“The objective of the operation is to completely secure the dungeon. Enemies that resist in the process are destroyed. I will not secure any prisoners.”
“Do you like it.”
Lucas licked his mouth with his tongue.
“It is difficult for us to move all the loot in the dungeon. call in reinforcements While reinforcements arrive, take control of the interior of the dungeon and hold on.”
Lucas and Zhao shook their shoulders, but then nodded.
Thinking of a small dungeon, I entered it with a small group, but unexpectedly, the dungeon was too large.
The number of people to move the loot was essential, so it was right to call them as reliable as possible.
After all, we know roughly everything about each other.
Lucas and Zhao didn’t say anything at John’s words to call back.
“When I have time, I ask for an appraisal of the items inside the center. Still, it would be better to secure valuable things in advance.”
“I really like the way you work.”
A smile appeared on Fioren’s face, which had a slightly stiff expression.
If Lucas and Zao’s reinforcements arrive, they will inevitably lose money in distribution, but John was considerate of that part.
Broadly speaking, there was no one against it because it would benefit the individual members of the party as well.
“I will search inside and join you.”
John’s gaze went deep into the armory, and conflicts appeared on everyone’s faces, but they soon put on expressions of agreement.
The place where Doyle got the berserker.
Perhaps it was briefly conflicted that he had priority over the place where the most important things in this dungeon lay, but John deserved it.
Above all, the party accepted John’s decision because they believed in the rationality of John they had experienced.
John nodded his head after checking the expression on the group’s expression.
“Then it’s decided.”
A hard expression settled on the faces of the group.
“in action.”
With John’s words, each of them began to move towards their assigned mission.

John stepped into the deepest part of the armory, in a place that was clearly hidden.
John murmured softly as he looked at the place where the facility was clearly different from the inside of the armory where the golems were.
“I knew that too.”
It was an elaborately hidden place that only those with special abilities like John could find.
From the outside, it was never obvious, and considering that Doyle had headed here without hesitation, the only conclusion was that he knew in advance.
– Hee hee. Don’t you know how many things are hidden in this Luna? Of course you wouldn’t know! They are all ours!
John’s eyebrows narrowed as he felt the drugged voice ringing in his ears.
Special places, special items, special information.
If the players know all this, it won’t be easy to deal with them, no matter how much John struggles.
Just looking at Doyle right now, isn’t it?
If the direct reinforcement of combat power had not been done before the battle, the result might have been different.
“after.”
A sigh escaped John’s mouth.
“You have to deal with these guys.”
Just thinking about it made my head throb, and in the end it would be inevitable for John to bump into him as he grows up.
It could be solved with words, but it was unlikely that those familiar with Luna would go over to persuasion, and in the end, what was needed was strength.
John, who suppressed his negative emotions and aroused this ability, began to explore everything in the room.
The second night in the dungeon came in a situation where each person’s thoughts and positions were harmonized.
