NOVEL NEXT Episode 64
CIPCXCriminal Investigating Player Organization).
International Player Police Organization and collectively known as Player Killers.
People everywhere held their breath at that name. Yooseong continued speaking without paying attention.
“How much did we talk about? Oh right. It was a story about killing everyone, regardless of gender or age, in the tower to protect the Earth. That's right! “I forgot.”
“So you’re willing to destroy this world and put it in danger for the sake of your own conscience?!”
“What are you destroying and threatening? “Oh, my bank account will kindly respond to the claim for damages, not me, so let’s stop worrying and talk about it.”
“People could have died!”
“Please raise your hand to see if any of these people are dead.”
Yoosung asked back, and several reporters raised their arms without paying attention.
“Wow, reporter, are you a ghost? Would you like me to force you to attain Buddhahood?”
“Oh no, that’s not it…”
“Then are you Bruce Willis?”
Yoosung sneered again and the reporters lowered their hands one by one in fear. Before long, a cold silence fell.
“Wow, I’m so glad no one died.”
“Player Kang Yoo-seong, how much worry and fear your eccentric activities in the name of the King of Heroes will cause to the people of the world...!”
“If you have concerns or fears that interfere with your daily life, go to the nearest psychiatrist. “Not me.”
Yooseong continued.
“Are you still complaining that I moved the battlefield to Earth to protect a few people in that tower?”
Yoosung asked again, and no one was quick to raise their hand. Nevertheless, the flash went off endlessly, clicking clicking clicking, and the camera was capturing Yoosung's every move.
It was right then.
“That trivial moral conflict may bring destruction to this world in the future.”
A voice rang out in the silence. I knew it intuitively. I wasn't a reporter. That's why Yoosung also asked coldly.
“Should I tell you about a moral conflict that is more serious than that?”
“Please tell me.”
“Why should I save this world?”
The King of Heroes asked back.
The pinnacle of players, armed with the black heavy armor of an immortal great emperor, engulfed in the immeasurable power of the spirits, and holding two blades of cruelty.
“You guys are going to sleep upright and kill all the innocent people in the tower? “Among the people I had to kill in that tower were elementary school-aged children, so I guess I’ll have to start from page 1 of the Wise Living textbook.”
Yooseong continued.
“Aha, the friends in the tower are rummaging through bundles of oysters one after another today in order to increase our chances of survival even just a little! If the King of Heroes fights hard, we can all live together without dying, but it's more important for me to stretch my feet and get a good night's sleep, so I have no choice but to lie down! Thank you, friends!”
“...Is now the time for jokes?”
“Wouldn’t that allow future players to feel free to kill their friends in the tower? You don't understand the importance of education. “The reason I can’t kill them is actually because I received the wrong education.”
“...Your actions, King of Heroes, are nothing more than an infantile defense mechanism that you deploy unilaterally, holding the world as collateral.”
“Oh, anyway, what should I do with this? “The world is held as collateral in that bastard’s hands.”
Yoosung shrugged his shoulders and continued.
“And what an infantile defense mechanism? Well said, you bastard. So, by any chance, where is your level and tier?”
The player belonging to the men's international player police organization suddenly held his breath. Because the identity that was supposed to be hidden was revealed.
“No, to put it bluntly, what do you know about TOP? Have you picked the monarch’s head and seen the tier 12 tower? me? I got the monarch hat and also beat the 12th tier solo. I don't know. “Out of the 10 top rankers, no one except me was able to conquer tier 12 solo.”
“But, during the 5th season, the sword master conquered the top tier 12 alone...!”
“Do you believe that?”
A brief silence fell. Yooseong continued, dumbfounded.
“We fought a war to ensure victory for the side without justice, and during the Plague Lords, an entire city was wiped out thanks to a plague. Well, what can I do? Hehe, I am very sorry, but for the sake of peace on Earth, I had no choice but to give them some help, so I killed them all. Does it still seem like I'm fighting over the Earth and my child's life? After looking at the situation for a while, I thought I could save them both, so I saved them and that was it. “There is nothing more to say.”
Yoosung shrugged his shoulders and said.
“How can a sparrow know the meaning of a phoenix, and how can Bsilgol know when a challenger is killed? Still, is this my fault? Then let's just get along and get along. Ah, microphone test, all equipment being worn is removed. Bonghwang runs through mid-air.”
The armor and weapon accessories surrounding the body disappeared along with the light. At the same time, loosely stretched training clothes were revealed.
“It’s none of my business anymore, so you can catch it and boil it, bake it, whatever you want.”
Yoosung stretched out his arms as if surrendering.
Immediately after, the CIPO players hiding among the reporters moved all at once.
Without even a trace, it wrapped itself around Yooseong, paying no heed to the screams and disturbances that echoed around it. No, I tried to wrap it around.
It was right then.
“Oh my gosh! “Please excuse me for a moment.” Without even a trace, a voice was heard from behind Yoosung. Yoosung smiled wordlessly at that voice. He said he knew it would happen from the beginning.
Kaang's
blades collided and another shadow blocked the shadow rushing towards the shooting star. At the same time, the thread of death was wrapped around and glowed like a shooting star, and the players belonging to CIPO stood tall and stood still in that circle.
Assassination skill Charlotte's Web 3 stars.
“We will receive new soldiers (body number) in accordance with domestic law based on player Kang Yoo-seong’s nationality and criminal law territoriality procedures prior to international law.”
This was followed by an emotionless female voice. It was Lee Sia, an
elite player in the assassination department .
“Even when he gets arrested for being undercover, he always smiles and never loses his positive attitude.”
“...Is now the time to be joking?”
“It turns out that the kids they arrest are actually gangsters or bullies. And there is always a plan to escape.”
Yoosung mumbled and shrugged his shoulders as if it were someone else's business. At those words, the expressions of the CIPO players surrounding the shooting star hardened, and the stress-related hair loss of Master Park and the National Intelligence Service players accelerated.
Hong Il-jeom Lee Sia of the Assassination Department was no exception.
“...Could you please treat my hair with more respect?”
“Hey, isn’t my hair even hair?”
“In the manager’s case, statistically, isn’t he at an age where he will slowly lose weight even if there is no external stress?”
“...Statistically speaking, it’s about time you wrote a poem, right?”
After leaving the conversation between the two people, Yooseong remained silent, dumbfounded.
“No, honestly, I won’t deny my responsibility for the manager’s hair loss.”
After silence, Yoosung opened his mouth. And then I mumbled it like it was someone else’s business.
“Hmm, anyway, how long is left until the 8th tier top is revealed?”
“uh? Well, seeing the growth of the players....”
“Didn’t you see the movie The Dark Knight? “When I watched the opening, I saw that Joker was accurately measuring the time until he crashed into the school bus.”
“What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?”
“I guess Manager Park doesn’t know yet. Actually, I didn't know either. To be honest, I didn't know until the previous season because I wasn't sure. “Because I just found out.”
“what?”
In the distance, a light rang out endlessly. Immediately afterwards, a message came to mind. It was not a message reflected in the field of view of a single shooting star.
It was a notice.
“Thanks to my performance, the opportunity to rise to the top of Tier 8 and protect world peace has come a little earlier.”
[Player Kang Yoo-seong has achieved ‘Special Achievement: Challenger Qualification’ and all towers of tier 8 and above are unlocked!] “
And thanks to you, the King of Heroes was forced to quit the game and play mid-game, so who has something to say for world peace? “Isn’t there any?”
[《Endless Labyrinth〉 Additional update details: Tier 13141516 top added!]
“Now that I think about it, it was so peaceful that everyone forgot about it. What was it like when the 12th tier top was first added in season 2?”
When the first season started, reaching Tier 8 was the end of the game. And the peace that should have been restored through sacrifice collapsed without help the following year.
At that time, ‘ten heroes' entered the tier 12 tower, and only two, a saint and a sword lord, came back alive.
At that time, the 11th tier top attack failed, a tower break occurred, and part of the world map was erased. The tower break of the 11th tier top was only that bad, so you can't even imagine the aftermath of the 12th tier tower that will break in the near future.
People in the world are not afraid of Tower Break for no reason.
After the new season started, the threat was at a level that was incomparable to the first season. It wasn't long before hope turned to despair.
The emergence of top player Kang Yoo-seong also happened around that time.
And now the nightmare was about to come back again.
[Defend the world against new and colorful threats that have never been compared to before!]
“Oh my, what should I do with this?”
That's why Yoosung shrugged his shoulders in front of that message.
“Until the Plague Lord season, I am the only tier 12 solo player, and there is even a tier 16 top. Oh my gosh, peace on Earth is once again in desperate danger. “Is there anyone who can heal my wounds?”
King of Heroes in Season 2... At what point in the period leading up to the Plague Lords season were the towers of Tier 8 or higher, which can be accurately called Phase 2 of this game, unlocked? I couldn't figure it out. Nevertheless, at some point, I began to vaguely realize it, and that suspicion has now become a conviction.
It was time for the monarchs to finally decide that the peak of players was suitable for targeting tier 8 or higher towers.
And that fact was made public in the form of a ‘notice’ in front of everyone in the world.
In addition, from the 2nd season “King of Heroes” to the 6th season “Endless Labyrinth”. There was only one player who stood at the top of the players at number 1 in the rankings.
When tier 8 or higher towers were unlocked each season, Yoosung's level was not constant. Even the timing was not consistent.
In the second season, Yoosung was not the top runner from the beginning. And in season 3, level 90 in August, in season 4, level 80 in June, and in season 6, level 70 in March. Therefore, it was not easy to be sure. But now I know. Regardless of the date or level, the 8th tier top is unlocked only after the top ranked player reaches a ‘certain qualification’. And just now the qualifications have been met.
In addition, amidst the meteor's provocation, the clown monarch's maddening laughter rang out endlessly.
Towers of Tier 8 or higher have been unlocked, and a new tower curtain has been drawn. The towers stretched out endlessly beyond the dark universe, almost like orbiting satellites.
In addition, some of the towers cast shadows directly on the stars. It wasn't Earth.
It was the moon.
