Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 237

237 Fire Awl (2)

live life.

the intention to kill someone.

Usually, it’s just a creepy ending, but in this imaginary world, the effect is amplified dozens of times.

Since it is not transmitted through the body, in severe cases, it is severely impacted by the spirit body and may be accompanied by permanent sequelae in reality.

‘Mental pollution.’

Players named this phenomenon that way.

When this state is reached, the subject may have permanent speech disorders such as stuttering and, in severe cases, mental breakdown and division.

so that… … .

“Like a worm.”

With even more determination, he stares at the clown.

The clown asked while drooling.

“Uh, why… … .”

The reason is simple.

The clown is a necromancer.

It will take a year to recover the pets lost in this battle, and they won’t even come out to the city and do any harm to me until Noark’s barrier is lifted.

However… … .

‘Orculis.’

The group to which the dragon killer who killed Dwalky belonged.

After all, this guy is also an enemy that must be defeated someday.

If you can cook it in advance, of course it would be reasonable to cook it.

“… … uh, huh!”

Liver discharge continued for a long time, causing sharp pain in the back of the head. It was an unavoidable part because it was a technique that used mental power as a cost.

You’ll probably have to sleep all day tomorrow.

Well, maybe I’ll sleep two days down.

But the more he did, the more pressure he put on.

If it were this bastard, he must be thinking of revenge on Bjorn Yandel as his enemy by now.

‘It’s best to cook it here.’

This guy is more dangerous than a dragon killer.

Unlike the guy who lost his memory, he has a clear hostility towards ‘Bjorn Yandel’.

If you can’t get rid of me this time, someday.

I will hurt my colleague.

“… … !”

Not only the target clowns, but all the members here can feel the richness of their lives.

‘Shit.’

As a young time to live with words continued, a feeling of pain in the brain suddenly bloomed.

It was an experience I had before.

All the mental power to use life has been exhausted.

“Hey, stop it. please… … .”

I thought I could do a little more.

Even though he feels regret, he squeezes life until the end.

How many more seconds would you hold out like that?

“… … Huh!”

The clown took a deep breath, like a man out of the water.

Then he squeaked and vomited up gastric juice.

“Kek, kek, uh… … !”

It was a clown with a mean appearance, but it was not in good condition for me.

It felt like I could pass out just by closing my eyes.

“why… … . why… … .”

The clown struggled to get his mind back and looked into my eyes.

Breathing is a bit rough, but it doesn’t seem like there is a problem with the language function.

Yeah, you didn’t even get close to mind contamination.

‘After all, it’s like this… … .’

It was quite an expected result.

In the past, even when I spit out life on the fox, my mental strength ran out before I reached that point.

A clown who killed countless people was more likely to have a stronger mental barrier than a fox.

‘Jeep, if you just look at your life, you seem to have gotten a lot stronger than before, but that’s not the case.’

Although he felt bitterness, he carefully observed the clown’s eyes.

In the trembling pupils, doubts seemed bigger than resentment. The fear that grows there because I don’t know the reason for my actions.

“… … .”

I continued to stare at the quivering clown.

So, what do we do now?

Such concerns never existed.

Since the scrambled bangs have failed, there must be some reason to convince them?

It’s a useless worry.

Well, I’m not Bjorn Jandel, I’m an investigator.

“Is it only this much?”

Living mode does not end because of mental exhaustion.

It’s pitiful, so I finished it.

He hypnotized himself like that and turned his back indifferent as if he wasn’t interested.

and… … .

“Twitter.”

He spits out like he’s annoyed.

“I thought it would be useful just a little bit as it was rumored.”

As if you had even tried it once.

***

George’s plan to kill the clown failed.

But I didn’t have much regret.

Even in this case, there are advantages only in this case.

Hasn’t there been a saying since ancient times to keep the enemy as close as possible?

‘I’m going to have to suck it up over and over again.’

The clown is an executive of the criminal group Orculis.

As long as you use Noark as your base, advanced information that will be helpful will continue to come out.

“there… … it’s okay?”

The queen, who watched the situation with her breath holding her breath, cautiously approached the clown and held out her hand.

But did it hurt your self-esteem?

fault.

As a clown slapped her hand out of his anger, he grabbed the chair and got up on his feet and sat down.

and saw me

He showed ugliness in front of other members, but it seemed like it was a good thing.

Just keeping your eyes fixed on me.

He spit out words that didn’t make sense.

“… … Investigator, are you the ‘he’?”

huh?

What is ‘that’?

It’s not a character that shouldn’t be called by name.

“… … .”

I didn’t know at all, so I just shut up.

As always, if this is the case, I think it’s halfway there.

In fact, after waiting for a while, the clown muttered as if to organize his thoughts.

“… … No, I don’t think so. You are not him.”

He said something if deer antlers knew anything.

“Yes, ‘he’ is not able to participate in the assembly due to restrictions.”

The Queen, who was watching with interest, opened her mouth as if there was no need to spare her words.

“… … Is the level higher here than you think? Yes. He can never be here. This chat room doesn’t open until three o’clock.”

It’s not three o’clock… … ?

Wait, it sounds like someone who knows this somehow.

‘… … Are you talking about Lee Baek-ho?’

Such a hypothesis suddenly came to mind, but there was no way to confirm whether it was true.

There are a few shortcomings of investigators.

Even if you have a question, you can never ask first.

Even more so if it’s low-level information that everyone knows.

Well, there’s the investigator Gao.

‘Anyway, we’ll find out about this later.’

It was time to step in.

I know it’s not everyone anyway, but there’s no need to stay still.

I grinned and spit out.

“Yeah, I’m not ‘that guy’.”

As if you were giving a prize because you guys who roll your hair hard are cute.

‘That guy’, not ‘he’.

No matter who it was, he chose a word that implicitly placed him and me in the same class and said it.

But did this strategy work?

“You are… … .”

Even though I was hit with a bang, the clown looked at me with a startled look.

There was no sign of resentment at all.

Maybe he didn’t even want to be hostile.

“Are you wondering who I am?”

At my question, the clown swallowed his saliva and nodded. However, I immediately flinched as if it was something I had done without even knowing it.

Oh no, I didn’t have to correct the answer.

After being beaten once, you seem to be really curious about who I am… … .

I shrugged slightly.

A gesture that everyone would know, except for the new member, the Queen.

“… … What does that mean?”

The clown answered the queen’s question like Suha.

“If you bring in interesting information, I can tell you.”

“Ah, that’s what this secret chat room concept was, right?”

“Yes, it is. So, by the way, who is the ‘he’ everyone was talking about earlier?”

The goblin asked quietly, but the queen ignored it as if she had not heard.

That was then.

“Are you serious about revealing your identity? … ?”

The clown asked the question blankly, and I did not give an answer.

He just stared intently at the clown.

Even if it’s related to my identity, as if there’s nothing I can’t tell you if it makes me ‘fun’.

Even that situation seemed like it would be fun for me.

“I’ve seen you for months, but I can’t understand.”

The antlers looked at me and said as if they were getting tired of it.

“I don’t know how long you’ve been in this world, but you’re broken even if you’re broken. If that’s the case, you won’t be able to live a proper life even if you go back in the end.”

He was a sweeter man than I thought, to be worried about other people’s lives here.

But that’s it and this is this.

He didn’t even listen and didn’t even look at him, so he kept his mouth shut as if resentful of deer antlers.

It was then that the queen came out.

“Anyway, this is interesting. Can I hear your identity if I bring you some information? I was curious too.”

“If you just make me happy.”

The queen grinned at my reply.

“To expect. Since then, I know quite a lot of interesting stories. Whoops.”

Well, that being said, I’m looking forward to it a bit.

Because this woman is also unknown.

‘Once you came to this country, it seems like you came because of a Master’s recommendation, unlike me… … .’

At first, I didn’t pay much attention to it because I was really educating the clown, but I think I’ll have to take a closer look in the future.

“Well, then, how about we start slowly… … ?”

No one opened their mouth, and there was a natural silence. Soon after, the goblins opened their mouths and the confusion was cleared up.

“Well, the door has already been closed, but it can’t be like this forever. In the end, the crescent moon didn’t attend until the very end.”

“If you did not come at this time, it must mean that you have not been able to avoid a bowel movement.”

After all, everyone seems to think that the crescent did not survive this incident.

Hmm, he was the most active of them all.

“So who’s going to do it first this time?”

Normally, the fox would take the role of the host and conduct the meeting, but the situation was strange and the goblin took the lead.

“I will do it later. It’s my first time, so I think it will take some time to get used to.”

“Do that. So who will?”

“If there’s no one else, I’ll do it first.”

The first turn of the assembly was deer antlers.

“Since the story of ‘he’ came out earlier, let’s start with this. He was released out of the world five days ago.”

“Yes? What does he mean… … ?”

The clown was astonished as if it was a story he did not know at all.

“there… … . To be fair, shouldn’t you tell me who ‘he’ is? … .”

The goblin knew what this was, and the fox’s eyes did not change.

No, did you hear it properly in the first place?

hoo.

Anyway, the gems of the round table gave off a green light.

This means that the above information is true and that more than half of these positions were unaware of this information.

“But I don’t understand. Is it okay to release such valuable information like this?”

To the clown’s question, deer antlers answered as if nothing special.

“After all, in a week, most of those who know will know. You should write it like this.”

“Then may I try next?”

The queen raised her hand.

Originally, the rule of thumb was to rotate clockwise from the beginning, but everyone agreed to do so and allowed it.

That’s what I’m curious about

What kind of information will this woman spit out?

“Fufu, it’s my first time in a place like this, so I’m a little nervous.”

It wasn’t a nervous voice at all.

The Queen made eye contact with each other, as if enjoying the attention, and slowly opened her mouth.

“He is in the tower now.”

his current location.

‘Who, this again?’

In the first place, I couldn’t even know who ‘he’ was, so I wasn’t particularly impressed when I heard it.

But are these two different?

The moment the Queen spat out the information, the eyes of the clown and the antlers turned to the center of the round table.

A place where there is a jewel that can tell whether it is authentic or not.

“It’s true… … .”

“The place I went to as soon as I came out into the world was the tower, so I suddenly became interested in it.”

If I get a chance later, I think I’ll have to find out who ‘he’ is. They look like really great people.

‘… … If it’s the real Baekho Lee, what the hell is he doing?’

While I was thinking about something like that, I felt a gaze from somewhere.

It was the seat of the queen.

I don’t know when, but she was staring at me.

“Aren’t you surprised to hear this, investigator-sama? As if you knew.”

uh, is that so?

I just don’t know who he is, so it doesn’t really matter where he is.

“Is there anyone in the tower?”

“Well, maybe it is.”

The queen secretly glanced at me, and I skimmed past it as if it was a cute masterpiece.

“next… I will do it.”

After that, her turn was fox.

The fox, who did not say anything even after the rally started, was rejected three times in a row.

The first and second were the latest information, but everyone knew it, and the third was what everyone judged to be of low usefulness.

“It’s kind of strange that the master of Clan El Capad was a player. But do you think this is too useless? I remember he died as soon as he crossed the portal this time.”

“… … Value is relative. For example, neither me nor Goblin don’t know who ‘he’ is. It was useless.”

The fox’s logic was also quite reasonable, but this is in front of the round table where the majority rule dominates.

“But didn’t you know that there are such people in the world? Fishet.”

“… … Are you all of the same opinion?”

Everyone was silent on her question, and that silence became the best answer above all.

Eventually, the fox had to make a fourth try.

“The Master of Clan Tevern has Number Nine.”

Information about a single numbered item.

“The Clan Master of Tevern… … .”

“It’s like putting a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck. Fishet.”

Soon, the gem of the round table lit a green light, and of course no one disagreed this time.

Because single numbers are worth that much.

To be honest, I even think that I have just released the information I had been saving.

“I will do it this time.”

Next was the goblin.

As he was from a paladin, this time he also released information related to religion.

“In the end, all denominations have decided to withdraw their support for the royal family. In a few days, we will probably be able to get along again like we used to.”

It was information that could not have been known unless it was a key person in the religious side, so of course he passed at once.

“Fisit, then it’s my turn.”

As soon as it was his turn, the clown declared a shock as if he had waited.

“I live in Noark.”

What the hell is this bastard?

Did you have a problem with your head after being beaten for life?

***

Information that reveals your identity.

Everyone, including myself, was stunned by the incomprehensible behavior.

“… … !”

Oh, to be exact, everyone except the queen.

“Noarkrani, the clown was also very funny!”

A queen who speaks to the clown with an innocent voice.

However, the gaze of the clown was fixed on me and showed no sign of falling off.

For some reason, it reminded me of a demon hunter.

At that time, that bastard also threw the bait and looked at my expression like that.

‘Are you trying to figure out how much information I have?’

I suddenly had a thought.

So, I carefully looked at the color of the clown’s eyes.

It seemed that there was a sign of relief in some way.

“You look surprised, so you don’t seem to know who I am? Fishet.”

What are you talking about, you madman?

“Cho Seung-dal said that the investigator seemed to know all of our identities. I don’t think it is either.”

It’s kind of a sneak peek.

I know the investigator is a great guy, but what kind of character is he really?

Is it just personal helplessness?

Or is it such an absolute that combines enormous power and information?

“How about this, did you have some fun?”

Being able to take a fun stack in addition is a pretty effective move.

However… … .

“exactly.”

I replied with a grin.

“It was a fun feat.”

At that moment, the green light of the jewel turned off to indicate that the turn had passed.

So now it’s my turn, which I’ve been waiting for.

The information to be spit out has already been decided.

“The clown is a corpse collector.”

Where are you kidding?
