Chapter 437
That’s why the lie detection that troubled me so much from the outside doesn’t work either.
Even if I could use it in the first place, since I have a gift from Aurl Gavis, I can hit the counter.
Anyway, that’s not what’s important.
‘……Am I trying to float?’
The number of cases is two.
One is if Lee Baek-ho did not know the authenticity of my words, so I deliberately tried to verify it one more time.
And the second one is…….
Exciting!
If you’re really sure I lied.
‘Nimiral.’
heart vibrates
Maybe I underestimated it without even realizing it.
Isn’t it the guy who has lived in this rough world for dozens of years. Just because he doesn’t have the lie detection skill doesn’t mean he’s an idiot.
No, rather, it will be more sensitive when there is no.
Thanks to that skill, he must have accumulated a vast amount of information by facing countless patterns of liars.
‘The possibility of simply scooping is extremely low.’
In a split second, I ended my judgment.
‘Rather than thinking that excuses will work, it’s better to admit mistakes and apologize right now.’
However, it was Lee Baek-ho who spoke first.
“brother.”
“…uh?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t return the kitty.”
“what……?”
At my question, Lee Baek-ho held on to a cold sneer.
“Did you live as a barbarian and eat your ears?”
When he was Lee Han-soo, he was full of sarcastic words that he had never heard from Lee Baek-ho.
Soon after, Lee Baek-ho looked at me and said clearly.
“I won’t give it back.”
“…….”
“The kitty that hyung loved so much.”
My head went blank for a moment.
“Isn’t that right? No matter how I look at it, I think he’ll be more helpful to my goal than hyung. You want to live in this world, right?”
“…….”
“Oh, of course, don’t worry.”
I wasn’t particularly angry or upset.
“I’ll be sure to return it when I’m done using it.”
just laughed
Even at this moment, I don’t know why.
“Baekho, you……”
In my head, that was an obvious provocation.
Even though I know it’s right to prevent the relationship from getting worse here.
“You really are a spoiled brat.”
The words came out without a filter, really casually.
There was not even a hint of regret later.
“Hey, are you showing your true colors now? In front of me, only your hair is rolling gently.”
However, Baekho Lee laughed at those words.
“Aren’t you in a position to talk to yourself?”
I also raised the corner of my mouth a little more.
As a result, there was not a single person here who was not laughing.
But…
crackling crackling-
apart from the warmth of the fireplace, the chilly air came out and settled between them.
“It’s fun.”
“Oh, yes.”
After muttering one word at a time, he opened his mouth first.
“But I don’t understand one thing. Why am I a broken bastard?”
He no longer used honorifics at me.
“If you look at the cancer, isn’t it the older brother who is broken?”
Laughter broke out again.
But did he even have something to say?
“Isn’t that right? My original life is over there, but I’m just crazy about the crazy NPCs and I’m thinking of staying here.”
I didn’t feel it was worth answering.
No matter what I say, he won’t understand.
“No, I don’t know if you’re a fuck-up bastard again. Isn’t it a dream situation for you to return? You have abilities. Co-worker characters are quite good. You’ve done well in famous works, but how are you? And even a noble title—” “So what do you want to say
? ”
When we stopped talking, Lee Baek-ho threw the main topic.
“Don’t pretend to be normal by yourself. It’s disgusting.”
“…….”
“No matter how you look at it, you’re the one who’s broken.”
“…….”
“Did you enjoy it? Meeting people made up for my deficiencies? Because of the information about the game, I quickly became stronger, as if I was a normal human being? Everyone treated me like a hero, so I felt like I had to work even harder. ?”
Strictly speaking, it was not wrong.
If you observe my changes so far through the eyes of a third person, you will undoubtedly spit out such words.
But it doesn’t matter if it’s a fact or not.
“Ugh, after a very long time, I’ll at least bow to Auril Gavis to thank him—”
Ugh, what’s so long about that?
Keyboard battles aren’t like that.
“Yes. Baekho must be very angry.”
Keeping my composure as much as possible, I stare at Lee Baek-ho.
If it’s a turn-based game, now it’s my turn to attack.
Long words were not necessary.
“But I understand. You were the kicker, weren’t you?”
“……Is it tea?”
A look as if he didn’t understand what he was saying.
I kindly added an explanation.
“Why don’t you pretend you don’t know? How famous is the story that the girls you liked knew you were a demon and fled right away?”
“………her.”
“You… is that really the case? That you’re desperately trying to go back.”
This is not even a kid, tsk.
He spoke quietly so that Lee Baek-ho couldn’t hear it, but he must have overheard it again like a pervert.
“…….”
Lee Baek-ho’s expression crumpled unusually.
However, that time was very short.
“Hahahahahahaha! Kheuk puhahahahaha!”
Lee Baek-ho smiles as if he has heard a pleasant story from the bottom of his heart.
It was a common mental victory pattern.
It’s such an absurd story that’s why I laugh so much.
It just feels like this.
I just stared at him, and Lee Baek-ho also stopped laughing and started talking to me.
“brother.”
“why.”
“Do you like that kitty that much? Enough to drive me crazy like this?
“That doesn’t matter.”
“It doesn’t matter. I think it’s the biggest reason for not going back.”
I was silent.
“Kyaa, seeing that he can’t admit it even in this situation, our Hansu-hyung is surprisingly shy?
” Judgment that there was no choice but to do it.
“Oh wait!”
At that moment, Lee Baek-ho cut off his words.
“I just came up with a good idea.” As I heard it,
I
couldn’t help but feel
ominous . “Why do n’t
I just kill him?”
Fuck.
“Actually, the reason you want to stay in this world is because you’re so happy right now, right?”
My heart tightens as each word continues.
“So, just kill me .” I guess it wouldn’t be bad either. If this place becomes painful, wouldn’t it be natural to want to go back? Like a baby rabbit looking for shelter when winter comes?”
This is the fundamental reason for not revealing my identity to Lee Baek-ho.
“Hmm, thinking about it again, I think it’s pretty good.”
Lee Baek-ho
is a guy who can do anything for a purpose.
Don’t you sometimes rewrite it?”
Soon after, he looked at me and grinned.
A smile that was so bright that it didn’t match the situation.
Maybe I felt fear instinctively, but I got goosebumps running down my spine without even realizing it.
But… “Baekho.”
There is an emotion that blooms bigger than fear.
”
Why?
”
Murderous
intention. Desperately wanting to kill someone
. There was no need to do it.
It was just that I had to endure it no longer.
It had been brewing for a long time.
“I have to kill you.” The intent to kill
was thicker than ever.
“…!”
Unrefined thoughts As soon as it spread, Lee Baek-ho flinched.
Of course, that time was extremely short.
Before long, Lee Baek-ho’s mouth opened again, and the words he uttered were clearly different from those he had seen before.
Words of apology,
words of resentment,
and begging to stop. It’s not even words.
What he spits out in the middle of a life that would have been wriggling and squealing on the floor like a worm if he was a body collector.
“Wow…”
It was just a heartfelt exclamation .
….. I’m sure the other kids will get tired of this, right?”
The guy who vomited high praise, not rave praise, approached slowly, bending left and right as if to relieve a stiff shoulder.
“Hyung.”
One step.
“But don’t you remember? ”
Two steps.
“That’s what I taught you.”
Three steps.
“To live.”
That was when the distance between him and him narrowed enough to reach with an outstretched arm.
I could feel it with my whole body.
“…! ”
The guy’s intention to kill me.
***
Killing.
The trapping technique of dead people, perfect for scaring newbies.
I’ve benefited from living day and night at the round table, but I’ve rarely turned my life over
. only did it once.
The last time I was beaten by a fox on the day I became a member of the Round Table.
strange feeling.
It was the feeling I felt when I first lived.
My skin tingled with the clear intent to kill, and my heart kept pounding and ringing.
And that was it.
“Well then…”
On the other hand, Lee Baek-ho’s life was different.
From the density of killing to its ferocious momentum.
“Tell me again.”
I think I can now fully understand why the body collector was so terrified.
Thump thump thump thump-!
At this rate, my heart was so turbulent that I thought it might explode.
The cold sweat couldn’t stand up and dripped down.
It’s not even a place where breathing is theoretically necessary, but breathing is forcibly cut off as if someone has strongly clamped the neck.
It also hurts as if the brain cells are burning.
But…
“What? Shouldn’t I kill you?”
It’s not like I’m going to collapse completely like a corpse collector or a fox.
Of course it’s hard.
I want to run away from this place right now.
I even know that I can end this situation just by leaving the chat room… ….
“Hyung, don’t you seriously think that’s possible?”
He persists.
Because he knows.
Didn’t he learn while living as Bjorn Yandel?
After running away in fear, a more fearful situation awaits.
Yes, so… ..
“……Eh?”
Forcibly waking up his drowsy mind that was consumed by living things, he took a step forward.
And…….
trudged.
At a slightly closer distance.
“Not really.”
Looking down at him “I don’t think I can do it,” he
whispers in my ear . ”
I don’t think I can do it.” It’s not a bluff that I tried to win in a battle of nerves. [I heard
that hyung also woke up 10 times faster?]
I’m really confident.
[Wouldn’t it be like me in 10 years?]
Right now I might be a bit lacking in strength compared to the silver guy, but
[I have very little room to become stronger now…]
If I were given a little more time—
‘Where can I win ten times as much?’
I can beat Lee Baek-ho. But
I wonder
if that conviction was conveyed to him as well.
While I was talking, Lee Baek-ho, who had been stiff, regained his composure and raised his
lips .
I feel bad.”
I clicked my tongue and returned the words he had told me before. “Why
are you
suddenly
lying?
” …….”
“It’s not fun at all.”
Otherwise, why do you keep going back—
“……Wow! Stop, stop!”
Then, Lee Baek-ho blocked the front with an exaggerated gesture and took three steps back.
“Ah! Really this brother too! You can’t even joke around?”
Suddenly, the expression and atmosphere changed 180 degrees.
Before he had time to adjust to this, Lee Baek-ho opened his mouth.
“There’s really no way I can kill a kitty. I just did it. what you said! No, how much do I like you? You’ve been really good to me since we first met!”
You’re a piece of cake.
No, you have to like it. Otherwise, you’d have found something to use in me.
“Is that why you threatened to kill Misha?”
“Relax, relax! What a threat! did you say It was a joke!”
Lee Baek-ho said in a frivolous tone, but the truth doesn’t change.
It was a threat… Yes, it was a threat.
“Why am I killing a kitty? I don’t get anything?”
Yes, if you look at it rationally, that’s the case.
Losing the Freeze Dual Wielder isn’t enough, and you’re also becoming an enemy of me.
No matter which way you look at it, it’s far from a reasonable choice.
But…
“Intimidation . If I had succeeded, I would be able to hold onto and shake myself in the future.”
I already feel dizzy when I think of the case where I was pushed back in the battle of nerves earlier. The content of the conversation we are having now would have been completely different at that time.
“Hey Cha-am! What were you thinking? brother! I’m not that black on the inside!”
The guy
back then wouldn’t have smiled like he does now
. Then give it to me Misha.”
“I’ll give it to you. If you do my favor.”
There wouldn’t have been a ‘deal’ like this.
‘Then, can this current situation be this bastard’s plan B?’
As I was staring at him with that thought in mind, Lee Baek-ho cautiously opened his mouth with a shy look on
his face. Now that I know how serious you are.”
“Only the main topic.”
“But can we both work together?”
Lee Baek-ho paused for a moment and gave me a calm look.
Of course, I had no intention of accepting it.
“.. ….Keep going.”
“You know better what your situation is like right now,
right?” Yes, you know better than you
do
.
“So?”
“I’ll help you. To help my brother get through the tough times. From the yin to the yang, both sides of the mind. Instead, help me when I go through the 10th floor later.”
Lee Baek-ho
’s suggestion was quite plausible
.
…….
“Baekho.”
“…Yes?”
“Isn’t there something I need to do first before asking hyung?” ”
…….”
I didn’t talk long.
This guy I don’t understand 100% why they want me so much.
“Bring Misha first. Let’s talk about this later.”
“…….”
“Answer?”
Even when asked again, Lee Baek-
ho remained silent.
Shrinking—
“Hyung,”
then he broke the silence and opened his mouth,
“Because we were excited about each other today. That’s enough.”
The guy’s answer was withheld.
“What……?”
“Isn’t it? My head isn’t spinning right now either. So, let’s talk again next time. I’ll think about Nyanko for a moment. “
Okay
?
”
Okay
?

_ I stretched forward, but there was nothing I could physically do in this spiritual space.
Tuk

Touching the fingertips, terrifyingly touching the guy’s body
