156 Episode Investigator (2)
A community of demons, Ghostbusters.
Novel from https://noblemtl.com
Misha and Ainar are their own sources of information that they do not know.
‘Okay, let’s do it.’
I turned on the computer first, trying to turn away from Lee Han-soo’s seemingly soft bed.
12 hours this community is maintained.
There is information in it that you must find out.
‘Orculis, Noark, the dragon killer.’
In the past, it was a story of a distant country, but now they are closely related to my survival.
There are limits to just the books in the library.
First of all, the medium itself was a book that had no choice but to be slow with the latest information.
[1~140,000GP] All information related to Orculis.
First, after posting information about purchasing information on the exchange, a chat room was opened. Judging that this might be much more helpful than the exchange.
[Hurray for Korean Independence] – 1 person is online.
It seems that Lee Baek-ho entered the chat room as soon as the community opened. Even then, I was very sad when I logged out. I was worried that maybe I would come next time.
Like a child who doesn’t want to be separated from his parents.
‘Who, I mean, he’s a guy you can’t see easily.’
Somehow I had a taste.
An icon of misfortune brought on the day of the discharge, and a deceased person in this world who has survived for nearly 10 years.
Baekho Lee has a great favor with me, but… … .
I can’t completely trust him.
[ah… … Well, I’m actually in hiding, so the latest information is a bit weak, right?]
Then he said he was in hiding. So, he introduced me to ‘Watcher of the Round Table’, saying he was weak at the latest information.
Last time I skimmed through it… … .
The possibility that he might be a member of Orculis or the underground city of Noark cannot be ruled out.
‘If you’re Korean or anything like that, you’re just a person who doesn’t know your face or name in this place.’
Soon, I organized my thoughts.

Maintaining a relationship with Lee Baek-ho has more benefits than losses.
So, let’s dig into his identity, but don’t overdo it, and let’s talk about Orculis without revealing anything.
That was the moment I double-clicked the mouse.
“Tongue!”
A large room reminiscent of an aristocratic mansion.
Without even looking around properly, Baekho Lee ran towards me.
“Ah, Hansoo-hyung! Why are you here now!”
“No, I just came… … .”
“How nervous I was to know he was dead!”
I wonder if he’s really saying empty words or something, his eyes are bloody and his hair is squeaky as if he’s squeezing it out.
It’s been less than 5 minutes since the community opened, and this kind of reaction.
What the hell was he so hungry for—
“Brother, you can’t die yet! You haven’t even talked about idols yet, and you haven’t been able to swear at politicians or the military. I can only do that with hyung… … ! I need to talk about Dunpa!”
Ah oh… … . That was the problem.
After all, it’s not funny to expect the emotions of a normal person from a guy who has lived here for 10 years.
I smiled and sat down on the chair.
“stop. Because I am not dead.”
“Yep. So what should we talk about? Ah, Loveable 3rd full album? That would be the best, right?”
No, who is Loveable… … .
Since I was not interested in the entertainment industry, I naturally turned the topic around. To be honest, I feel like I’m going to be honest.
“… … Let’s talk about the military.”
“Wow, that’s great! uh? But come to think of it, hyung wasn’t in the public interest, was it?”
“Still, I went to the training camp, man.”
“Uh… … .”
Isn’t the story of the trainee days not very appealing? Baekho Lee made a strange expression and said carefully to me.
“Hyung, it’s okay to just talk about Dunpa… … .”
“I haven’t done that.”
“Yeah, hey?!?! Didn’t you say it was in the public interest?!”
Lee Baek-ho is black as if he heard something he couldn’t hear.
Did you just wake up late?
“Ahh! I’m sorry. brother. I didn’t mean it that way. You know?”
“… … Yes, let’s do that.”
“yes… … .”
The atmosphere quickly became awkward.
Baekho Lee scratched his cheek with a somewhat depressed look.
There was nothing I couldn’t understand.
I was just happy that we were the same Korean, but I must have realized that we didn’t have much in common—
“Put! uh huh huh… … .”
“Why are you laughing?”
“No, bro. Isn’t something funny though? The conversation we just had.”
is it? I don’t know.
Which part was so much fun?
“I can’t explain it well, but for some reason it felt like I was really back in Korea.”
Oh, that.
“… … If that’s the case, I guess I know. Roughly what it feels like.”
“Yes?”
Soon, Baekho Lee smiled and sat back on the chair. And rather than forcing a topic and having a conversation, we talked naturally.
We started with what we were originally doing, and we just exchanged stories as they flowed.
“The training camp was also funny. Because I didn’t know there were so many crazy people in Korea?”
“Because the environment is the environment. Everyone goes out and becomes normal.”
“but… … That’s it too. We didn’t know it would be like this, did we? Maybe I’ll have to go to a psychiatric hospital when I get back.”
“I think it would be better not to talk about this.”
“no. Haven’t you thought about it? If I get in the way, I kill them, if I am suspicious, I kill them, and I start worrying that if I meet someone new, they will harm me. human life… … It just feels like a game character. This is absolutely crazy, isn’t it?”
The air that had subsided heavily as if it had been a lie a while ago when he giggled.
“You will get used to it soon. Just like when I came here.”
“… … Is that right?”
“okay.”
After that, a moment of silence passed.
It was Lee Baek-ho who opened his mouth first.
“Anyway, so thank you hyung. To be honest, I thought I had to go back these days. Not that I like it here… … . you know? What am I talking about?”
“okay.”
“You might think it’s not a big deal, but at least it motivates me. Giggling here gives me the belief that I can do it when I go back.”
belief… … .
There was a sense of incongruity in those words.
But I didn’t dig deep.
I’m not at the stage to be sure of anything yet, and I’m judging that there’s nothing to gain from just touching it.
“Ah, don’t you know more about Orculis than that?”
Naturally, I brought the subject out.
It seems that the purpose is to just end the heavy atmosphere, and it is not a big deal.
He threw it away and focused on the change in Lee Baek-ho’s expression.
There was no such change.
but… … .
“Orculis? Why are they curious?”
Baekho Lee asks the reason first.
Until now, no matter what I asked, he just gave me a quick answer.
Novel from https://noblemtl.com
More and more doubts arise.
What the hell is he?
***
“You need a Genesis Noble Phantasm to get to the last floor. I wonder if they stole it. Oh, you know the news that someone stole it, right?”
Without a moment’s silence, as I sang the lines I had prepared, Baekho Lee shook his head.
“yes. I know. But that’s why you asked… … . I was relieved.”
“Are you safe?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
Lee Baek-ho continued to speak with a smirk.
“Anyway, hyung was thinking up to that point. In fact, I used to think so.”
“You mean not now?”
“yes. I tried various methods to check it, but it doesn’t seem to be the case either. That’s right, the Genesis Noble Phantasm was all robbed about half a year ago, wasn’t it?”
“Are you going to rip it all off?”
“Oh, you didn’t know that. All six races were robbed. And on the same day.”
Afterwards, the elder said that other races might be in a similar situation.
That was true.
“Realistically, it doesn’t make sense. You don’t know if it’s from another race, but you’re stealing dragons and even humans? Amman, they fly and crawl, but they can’t do that. Well, just in case I didn’t know, I did some research, but I didn’t find any clues like this.”
“Then you don’t even know who stole it, do you?”
“yes. Hyung, if you find any traces, please let me know. As you know, if there is a way back home, that is the only way, right?”
It was a question Orculis asked because he was curious, but I found an unexpected fact.
He doesn’t even know anything about the Genesis Noble Phantasm.
I even had the delusion for a while that maybe he could be the final black screen.
“Brother, aren’t you thinking differently? competitor or something. After all, up to five people can open the door together. It would be helpful if I was there.”
“No, not that… … .”
I couldn’t put the thoughts I was thinking about to my face, so I just went around.
“It’s just that it’s a little strange for you to say that to me. How can I find traces that you couldn’t find?”
“Uh, I don’t have anything to say about that… … . But somehow I think he’s special. In fact, from the first time I saw it.”
“… … I’m at a loss for words when you say that.”
“Ah, hyung also said he broke 10 times? In 10 years or so, will you be like me? As a matter of fact, I don’t have much room to get stronger now… … .”
Apart from saying that there is no room to be strong.
Lee Baek-ho’s mental power was felt in his casually spitting voice. He already thought it would take another 10 years to find the Noble Phantasm.
But you don’t even think about giving up.
How did you get your obsession back?
“right. Can I tell you an interesting story? Maybe he didn’t even know. It’s a setting that didn’t exist in the game.”
“What?”
“There is a huge underground city under the sewers. It’s called Noark.”
“… … Noark?”
I tried to keep my composure.
Should I call it a non-observation complaint?
Hopefully, he’ll bring this up first.
“yes. It reminds me of Orcules. In fact, this is also their headquarters. Do you know the Ormi Revolutionary Group too?”
I laughed out loud at the slightly absurd name.
Ormi Revolutionary Corps.
“These are the kids who come out to events from time to time. They said that if we got some fame, we would come and change the world together.”
By the way, when accepting the event, there was always a dead ending. I tried countless times to see if there was a hidden condition, but there was nothing I could change because it was a problem with the game structure itself.
“Noark was also made by those bastards. After failing the treason, they all ran downstairs.”
“that’s interesting. So anyway?”
“That’s all. Aren’t the goals the same? So the two of them were cooperating there.”
The cooperative relationship between Noark and Orculis.
Up to this point, it was the part that I found out through the letter left by High Commissioner Rudwig.
In other words, it is important from now on.
How can I ask for information about the dragon killer without questioning it?
This was the moment I was thinking about it.
“Hyung, I’m just saying this just in case, even if you receive a request from the royal family or the guild later, don’t even come close to this.”
“I think you should hear the reason first.”
“Ah, this is going to be a long one again… … .”
Lee Baek-ho looked at me and took a deep breath and spoke quickly.
“It’s called a dragon killer, but that bastard did a complete mess this time. I must have kidnapped the High Priest and took him with me and lost it. It seems like someone accidentally picked up the letter and brought it to the temple or something.”
I swallowed hard and asked.
“… … What about it?”
“I don’t know the details either. You said you don’t know what happened to you because you lost your memory?”
have you lost your memory?
Novel from https://noblemtl.com
Maybe it has something to do with a broken vine?
I wanted to ask more details, but Lee Baek-ho finished his speech with a rapid-fire gun without even giving me a chance to do so.
“Anyway, what I want to say is that they should never participate because they broke the agreement first, so a subjugation force could be formed.”
“… … .”
“Because they are not yet alive under them. I just got caught and only my brother gets hurt. okay? Miss, it’s already time. brother! See you later-“
Soon Lee Baek-ho’s voice was crushed and disappeared without a shape.
“Nimiral.”
Log out.
In other words, it means the time has run out.
***
After Baekho Lee disappeared.
I went back to my room and organized my thoughts for a moment.
No, to be precise, I replayed the one sentence he had said over and over again.
[I don’t know the details. You said you don’t know what happened to Ji because you lost your memory?]
Considering the pills that the psychopath gave me back then, it’s quite possible.
But the problem is, I don’t know if this is a fact.
There is a possibility that Lee Baek-ho passed it on to me after hearing the rumors made by Orculis.
But if this is true… … .
‘It makes sense that the vines are broken.’
It is understandable to some extent.
This ring is not meant to sever ties with him.
just procrastinate.
‘After all, it’s just a matter of time before they get caught.’
If you keep track of who delivered the letter, one day you will find out about me.
There is also the issue of disposing of the dragon killer sword.
Even if not, the possibility remains open to the possibility that there is a way to restore memories in Noark.
so that… … .
‘My work will not change.’
I sat back at the computer and did what I had to do.
I checked if there was an information sale article, and if there was, I met him and bought it at a reasonable price.
Even if it wasn’t about the dragon killer, it didn’t matter. Under the assumption that all of them could be enemies, information was gathered and gathered again.
how long has it been
[03: 09]
The time has come for the watcher of the round table to open.
I deliberately waited until 1 minute left before entering the secret chat room.
That’s because the beauty of concept quality lies in the details.
profit-
Putting on the mask of the investigator placed on the table, the closed door opened.
A long red carpet extends to the room with the round table.
As I walked slowly, I heard a conversation in the distance.
“Is that person not coming this time?”
“I don’t think it would be strange. If that’s enough, there’s no need for us.”
“No, who the hell is that person?”
In the middle, there was a voice I heard for the first time.
It seems that he was a member who did not attend at that time… … .
“It’s hard to explain.”
“It’s crazy. So, if you ever meet, be careful. Otherwise, you will have a very difficult time.”
The newbie said to the senior’s experienced advice.
“Hey, I really don’t understand. Are you all kidding me? I don’t even know my physical powers and I don’t know who I am, so what are you so afraid of?”
“Fisher. There’s only one, isn’t it to live?”
“what… … . No matter how old we are, if we are our size, it will be enough to protect us, right?”
The newbee murmured as if it was absurd.
So, I continued my paused steps and pretended to be popular.
Tub.
At the sound of loud steps, the members seated at the round table all turned their heads, and I quietly passed behind them and sat down where I had been last time.
“Long time no see. Mr. Investigator.”
Except for the clown, he looked into my eyes and was silent.
Wouldn’t you like that atmosphere?
The newbie shrugged and laughed awkwardly.
“Ah oh… … . Gee, did you really have a newcomer? haha.”
I quietly stared at the newbie.
And, I opened up the way I practiced hard.
“… … !!”
Cancer, if a newbie comes, you have to suppress the baseline.
That’s a tradition here, isn’t it?
