102 – Between Peace and Anxiety (1)
A festival enjoyed by everyone with a smile. In the midst of a large crowd, in a truly peaceful scene –
“Too sweet…”
“It really tastes like an adult. As expected, the old man-“
“Don’t make fun of Sang-hoon! “Even if you look like that, you still look young!”
“Noisy! And Eugene. “Is that an insult or a compliment?”
“That’s a compliment! Because it means you look young!”
“…I’m not that much of an age difference between you and me?”
…Villains holding tanghulu one by one and enjoying the festival properly. Are these kids really here to play?
Hyunwoo sighed as he glared at them, and then opened his mouth, holding his forehead with both hands as his pounding head throbbed.
“Hey, aren’t you guys enjoying it too much?”
“Oh, but how many times will I get a chance like this? Bill like us-“
“Write it.”
“…There’s no way people can enjoy the festival, right? “Let’s enjoy this opportunity!”
But, you guys are too serious. I didn’t come to enjoy the actual festival, and in a situation where I don’t know where enemies could come from –
“Hyeonwoo oppa!”
“You can’t call me by my name here…”
“Oh, that’s right! I forgot! First of all, this!”
“Phew… Okay. Thanks…”
Hyun-woo had a lot to say, but soon he closed his mouth when Su-ah approached him with a bright face and smiled brightly. He smiled bitterly as she took the tang hulu she was holding in her outstretched little hand.
“There’s no need to worry, right? “They wouldn’t recognize us anyway.”
“You never know. “High-level guys might notice.”
“That’s true, but… I heard you won’t be able to see it in most cases? Actually, I don’t believe it yet-“
There is no risk of being caught – it is not a lie.
“Oops, excuse me.”
“hahahaha. It’s okay.”
Even though they didn’t actually wear a mask or even a disguise – it’s as if the hero who bumped into Sang-hoon didn’t recognize them.
It is safe to say that very few people can recognize them.
“…That’s a hero, right?”
“That’s right. #205 In hero ranking, hero name is-“
“Well, I’m not interested in that. Anyway, it’s interesting. “They don’t recognize us even though we’re right in front of them.”
No matter how many of them act with masks on, they were among those whose faces were already known, including Yumi and Eunji, so it would not have been possible for the hero to ignore them.
“Cognitive impairment… That’s a very outstanding ability. “I’ve never heard of such an ability.”
“I never imagined that that gloomy bastard had such abilities, but he was better than I thought, right?”
“If most people can’t see, doesn’t that mean their level of ability is quite high?”
“I guess so. “Most people didn’t recognize me.”
Those who were impressed by the usefulness of the abilities used by a man called an intelligence merchant, whose identity few people know despite being active within the same organization, soon nodded in amazement –
“Anyway, if there was such a useful ability, why hasn’t it been used for a while? “I didn’t do anything properly before, but now I’m stepping forward.”
Sang-hoon, who was clicking his tongue as if it was surprising that he didn’t recognize them, suddenly seemed curious and approached Hyeon-woo and asked.
There were many situations that could have been easily overcome if I had been able to use this ability, so why did I use it now?
“Because it is an ability that cannot be used often. Recoil- No. The cost is also severe. “I wrote about it this time because it was such an abnormal situation, but I guess I can’t expect any further help.”
“…Huh? Does this ability have that much recoil? “It’s great, but it only hinders your perception?”
“I can’t go into detail, you just need to know that.”
His ability is not one of cognitive impairment, and besides, he has used it quite a few times so far.
I know a lot of facts, but I can’t talk about them because if I tell them in detail, they will hate me in many ways.
Hyunwoo didn’t give a detailed answer and just brushed it off, and the others couldn’t hide their curiosity at that fact – but soon after seeing Hyunwoo’s expression, they shrugged his shoulders and moved on.
A stern expression that says no answer will be given. They had seen this happen so many times that they soon gave up on getting an answer.
“Anyway. “It’s good to have fun, but let’s not let down our guard.”
“Well, we didn’t come to have fun.”
The topic of conversation eventually returned to the main topic.
“So- you’re saying there are those guys among these?”
“The serpent of silence. I think 99% of them will be there. Right? Boss.”
“What is that ambiguous probability?”
“Because I flipped the coin 100 times and got number 99. “I kept repeating it to the point where I felt ashamed of myself.”
The reason they came was not to have fun, but to ruin the plans of the evil brigade.
This place, the site of the festival, may seem a peaceful place on the outside, but it is the worst place where you never know what is going on inside.
“Hmm. So what are you going to do? “Once we’ve arrived, how do we find the people hiding here?”
There are villains hiding in a place with so many people. That alone is a huge headache, but you even have to find them? Isn’t it just overwhelming?
“Besides, what if you find it? Even if we killed them right away, there would be an uproar right away. Then, if it’s secret, won’t it be discovered by villains and heroes?”
Furthermore, even if there were a way to find it, it would be a problem. The heroes are running around with lights in their eyes right now, and if they suddenly commit murder – at that moment, heroes and villains alike will immediately turn against them and cause chaos.
What can they do in this situation where there is no answer? Sang-hoon looked at Hyeon-woo and asked-
“There is no problem finding it, and there is no problem processing it.”
Hyeonwoo shrugged his shoulders, saying there was no problem with their questions.
“Because I know what I’m going to do and how I’m going to move in the first place.”
“…Huh?”
Why is the silent snake scary? This is none other than secrecy.
The secret of not knowing where you are or what you are doing or who you are disguised as. Even if you do find them, it’s difficult to catch them unless you have solid evidence because they just play it off and act nice.
That’s why other heroes were having a hard time catching them – but that doesn’t apply to Hyunwoo.
This is Hyunwoo, who cleared the game countless times in the first place. I knew everything about how the silent snake was hiding and who it was disguised as to hide its identity.
Even if things change a little due to the intervention of the evil brigade – if you know their faces and information, you will be able to find them quickly.
“There was no way I could act properly in the first place. “He’s probably already dead.”
Now that Yumi has disappeared from the Evil Brigade, if there is a way for them to control the Silent Serpents, it would be to kill them and use their corpses to do their work.
Even if they were controlling bodies that were already dead, there was no way they could act properly, right?
“Okay… I don’t know how to know, but let’s say that’s the case. Then, what about afterward?”
“You brought Su-ah, right? Moreover, Yumi also joined.”
“…Huh?”
And since they are controlled as corpses, the way to get rid of them will be very simple. There is a villain on their side who is perfect for cleaning up after them.
“Soo-ya. “You can do it, right?”
“Yes!”
When she called herself, she did that. Even if she was a child who smiled brightly and nodded her head – she was a strong person who was the boss of a chapter after all.
He still believed in Haesilgeul Su-ah.
“…Are you really okay? Ande is still young-“
“If you really think that way, you will probably completely change your mind starting today.”
He could say something like that if he didn’t yet know the horror of the ability to control blood – but he would never forget the scene where she appeared in the eighth chapter.
“Really?”
“Yes! Believe me!”
Well, it doesn’t really matter since he already succeeded in the process of actually testing Su-ah’s abilities. There’s still that old woman left, but I don’t know what happened to her, so I have to believe that things will turn out somehow.

“Anyway, the silent snake won’t be that annoying. “The problem is the crazy b*tches and evil brigades who don’t know what they’re doing using them.”
If there is no problem with the Silent Serpent, the remaining problem is the Dream Eater and the leader of the Evil Brigade –
“I have someone to entrust to as the head of the evil brigade, so I can just pass-“
I honestly don’t know what the former is doing, but I don’t have to worry about the latter because there are people I can deal with.
So what they would do was ultimately decided.
“As we sort out the serpent of silence, we find out what the b*tch is up to.”
Assassinate the assassin and find out what that crazy b*tch is doing. That is the mission given to them.
“Everyone can do it, right?”
“If I have to peel it, I have to peel it. Oh my, my head…”
Of course, it is a plan that is easy in words but difficult in reality – but what can you do? It’s already happened and they have to do it.
They nod their heads one by one, starting with Sang-hoon grumbling in response.
“Let’s go.”
With Hyunwoo’s last words, Repentance began to move.
