You, become a spy (1)
“······.”
Pungbitgaram.
He was looking straight ahead, transformed into a wisp of smoke, in preparation for any unexpected situation.
The distant appearance of the main city was coming into his sight.
‘What do we do···.’
There, he was contemplating the most difficult choice of his life.
‘Should I just hit them all and run away…?’
If you turn your back now, nothing will happen. Afterwards, just stick to your role as a thief as you have done so far and focus on surviving until 24 hours have passed.
‘···no.’
But in the end, Pungbitgaram did not turn his back.
‘Yang Jung-geun, you wouldn’t know it before he picked up the thief’s exclusive communication earphone, but the probability of survival is very low in the current situation.’
Since Yang Jung-geun acquired the thief’s communication earphones from number 3, not a single word has been heard through the earphones.
This is because it was foolish to communicate in a situation where Yang Jung-geun clearly knew that he was listening.
In fact, it is correct to say that information exchange between thieves has ended.
‘If I had been able to get Kim Jin-seong’s help, I wouldn’t have had to worry about this…’
Above all, it was very painful to lose contact with Kim Jin-seong, the ace of the thief team.
From the thieves’ point of view, this is the only hill that can be crossed… No, it was Taesan, but I lost it in an instant.
‘You want me to spend the rest of my time alone against 200 people?’
Pungbitgaram shook his head inwardly.
‘In that case, it would be better…’
Pungbitgaram unconsciously reached into his pocket and fiddled with the earphones.
Currently, Pungbitgaram had all the communication earphones of thieves and taggers.
Kim Jin-seong transformed into Quagmire and went through Lee Deok-gu’s group of taggers, where he took a peek at the taggers’ earphones.
Pungbitgaram recalled a conversation he heard a little while ago.
The taggers were systematically taking group action centered around Yang Jung-geun.
On the other hand, the thief team was divided due to a communication breakdown.
No matter how I thought about it, this was a very unfavorable situation.
‘It’s better to join hands with the tagger as quickly as possible and eliminate all the remaining thieves. then···. I can live.’
There was a reason why Pungbitgaram made this judgment.
This was because he personally confirmed that Kim Jin-seong had killed over 40 taggers in the forest.
If the number of deaths so far is 48, the tag team will only have to catch 7 more thieves to pass the preliminary round. This is because one thief has already been caught.
‘Currently, there are eight remaining thieves, including me. Then, if I join hands with the taggers and help them kill 7 people, I will be guaranteed to pass the preliminary round.’
Of course, the problem is that Kim Jin-seong is included among the seven.
But it is an enemy that must be killed within today anyway.
If you think about the relationship between Kim Jin-seong and Yang Jung-geun, and the angry voice Yang Jung-geun heard through the communication earphone, it seemed certain that one of them would definitely die today.
‘And when Kim Jin-seong is killed, at least dozens of people will die. It would be the best situation for me if so many thieves die that I can catch just six.’
After thinking about it up to that point, Pungbitgaram made up his mind and slowly began to approach the main castle.
‘If it looks dangerous, you can just run away. Because my ability itself is optimized for running away…’
pop!
‘?!’
At that time, Pungbitgaram was startled by the sound of an explosion suddenly coming from the main castle.
I thought it was attacking me, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
pop! pop! pop!
The sound that continued to explode was because it was coming from exactly inside the castle walls.
‘What do you mean?’
Pungbitgaram began to approach the main building a little more cautiously with a puzzled expression.
* * *
“···That’s the end.”
Lee Deok-gu, who was concentrating with his radar ability activated, pointed to the northern wall of the main castle.
Yang Jung-geun turned his gaze in that direction.
A small single eye that had not been visible until a moment ago was floating in the sky as if it had been detected by a green radar.
Due to Lee Deok-gu’s radar ability, the invisibility of the ‘Surveillance Eye’ was forcibly removed.
“Destroy it!”
At Yang Jung-geun’s instructions, several taggers with long-distance skills once again poured out their skills towards the eyes of surveillance.
pop!
With another explosion, the surveillance eye exploded.
Yang Jung-geun, who had removed the last watchful eye, looked at Lee Deok-gu with a suspicious expression.
“Is that really the last time? Are you sure? “Didn’t he secretly leave one behind to make us crazy?!”
“What is that again… Oh, no. You can trust it.”
Lee Deok-gu, who was about to get angry, suppressed his anger with superhuman patience and answered in a quiet voice.
Seeing that, Yang Jung-geun smiled with a somewhat satisfied expression.
“Yes, just keep living like that and losing your temper. That way, you can survive for a long time without falling behind in my hands. is not it?”
“······.”
Lee Deok-gu, unable to say anything, with his eyes downcast, and Yang Jung-geun, looking at him in triumph.
Anyone can see that the ranking has been perfectly organized.
“Anyway, Pungbitgaram? Why hasn’t this bastard come yet? “I heard it was detected in the direction we came from earlier?”

Lee Deok-gu nodded at Yang Jung-geun’s words.
“We’re almost there now. “We have just passed the eastern wall.”
“East? “I don’t feel it at all…?”
Yang Jung-geun activated his mana with a suspicious expression, maximizing his mood.
Then he seemed to nod his head.
“You’re really there.”
Soon, the hills of Lee Deok-gu, Yang Jung-geun, and others naturally and slowly turned from the east toward the main entrance.
Within their line of sight, a small wisp of smoke could be seen quietly entering the inner castle.
“Welcome! ha ha ha!”
Before Pungbitgaram could transform, Yang Jung-geun welcomed him with open arms and a hearty smile.
Naturally, as soon as Pungbitgaram transformed into a human, she had no choice but to be held in Yang Junggeun’s arms.
“Why do you come past the castle walls transformed into smoke? “I already knew you were coming five minutes ago!”
“…You knew?”
Yang Jung-geun laughed loudly at Pungbitgaram, who asked back with surprised eyes.
“Fuhaha! of course. Do you know how many of our taggers have detection skills? “Isn’t this really ugly guy here?”
Yang Jung-geun pointed to Lee Deok-gu.
“This guy has radar ability, and once activated, he can check all living things within a 100m radius!”
“······!”
“It’s not for nothing that I knew your location five minutes ago! how is it? Don’t you think we’ve already done a good job joining hands? ha ha ha!”
The surprise in Pungbitgaram’s eyes as he looked at Yang Jung-geun, who was smiling in a good-natured manner, still did not go away.
‘You didn’t know that I was approaching slowly while keeping an eye on you…?’
At the same time, Pungbitgaram feels like goosebumps are forming all over his body.
‘Yang Jung-geun is right. Good job holding hands! Even with that radar ability, I would never have been able to last 24 hours!’
Yang Jung-geun wrapped his right arm around his shoulder as he felt relieved.
“It looked like it was following the direction we came back from earlier. that’s right?”
“yes···.”
“good job! I already removed all the detection skills Kim Jin-seong had planted on the way! “They probably wouldn’t have caught you coming into the castle!”
“······!”
“What will you do if you get caught? It’s not like I can deal with all 200 people here by myself. is not it? ha ha ha! Now, sit back and relax!”
Yang Jung-geun took Pungbitgaram to the table in the center.
As soon as he sat down, Yang Jung-geun opened his mouth again.
“You truly made an excellent choice. You might even get lucky! Do you want me to tell you why?”
“······?”
“Right now, the number of deaths on our tag team is exactly 48.”
“!!”
Pungbitgaram’s eyes widened.
He couldn’t believe it, but the right number actually died, just as he had wanted.
Yang Jung-geun, seeing the change in his expression, grinned.
“I immediately understood what you meant. Okay, now if we just kill 7 of the remaining thieves, we will all pass the preliminaries.”
“······.”
“If we kill seven people within 24 hours, there will be no need for us to kill you. “Didn’t you join hands with us to aim for this too?”
“···you’re right.”
“good! “Then it will be easier to talk.”
Yang Jung-geun went straight to the point.
“From now on, you will have to take on the role of luring other thieves into the trap created by our taggers. Do you know what I mean?”
“They are telling you to approach them pretending to be fellow thieves and bring them in one by one.”
“yes! This guy is quick to understand. You just have to help kill 7 people like that. step!”
Yang Jung-geun spread one finger.
“Kim Jin-seong will hit last. “Why?”
“Because it’s the strongest. “The damage can be the most severe when you catch it.”
“okay. “The time to hit Kim Jin-seong is when you’ve eliminated all the remaining thieves and are just about to pass the preliminaries.”
“then···. “Are you definitely planning to catch Kim Jin-seong?”
“of course!!”
Momentary bang! Yang Jung-geun yells while hitting the table.
Pungbitgaram saw his eyes suddenly covered with anger,
“Oh, I understand.”
He immediately stepped back with both hands raised.
‘I expected it, but he really hates Kim Jin-seong.’
“Okay, then tell me what you know now.”
After a while, Yang Jung-geun regained his composure and asked Pungbitgaram.
“Don’t you think there must be information that the thieves shared before I shouted into my communication earphone? “Something like each other’s positions…”
“Ah, first of all, Kim Jin-seong is in the underground passage.”
“underground···?”
Yang Jung-geun looked like he was hearing this for the first time.
“what? “Did there also exist an underground passage on this island?”
“yes. “There are up to the 4th floor…”
“You did that?! This is really important information! “Please mark the location of the entrance to the underground on the map here.”
At Yang Jung-geun’s urging, Pungbitgaram immediately picked up a pen and drew a circle on one side of the map.
Some taggers, including Yang Jung-geun, flocked to see the marked area.
“I guess we have to go about 130m to the southwest?”
“It’s a lot farther than you think?”
“It was hidden under a tree. This is why the watchman couldn’t find it even with his ‘watching eye’.”
“Everyone come out!”
Yang Jung-geun made all the taggers retreat with just one word.
In that state, he opened his mouth.
“Is Jinseong Kim the only one in this basement?”
“yes.”
“Are you sure? “I am a person who absolutely hates false information!”
“Kim Jin-seong told me not to let anyone come in here because it was dangerous. In fact, he had so many strong monsters that no one would have entered.”
“hmm···. okay!”
Yang Jung-geun quickly moved his head and gave instructions to everyone.
“This basement, where Jinseong Kim is, will be the last to enter. First, let’s clean up the small items scattered on the ground. Do you understand?”
Nod.
“Just don’t even come close to this! “If it’s Kim Jin-seong, no matter how many surveillance troops you put in there, he will be able to escape using his shadow ability.”
The taggers nodding their heads once again.
“Okay, then all the executives gather around! I need to come up with a detailed strategy. “Did you say Pungbitgaram?”
“yes.”
“You also participate in the meeting. “Because I have to play the most important role in the future.”
Soon about 10 people gathered at the table and held a meeting in low voices.
After about 30 minutes like that.
“good! “Let’s proceed like this.”
Yang Jung-geun stood up as the meeting ended.
“What time is it? “It’s past noon… so I know everyone will leave after lunch!”
Yang Jung-geun looks at everyone and gives instructions in a loud voice.
“Everyone, don’t take a single step outside the castle before we leave! If you don’t want to be killed like those three people earlier. okay?”
“yes.”
“Alright, everyone, take some maintenance time!”
The taggers who had gathered around Yang Jung-geun’s words began to disperse.
Lee Deok-gu also turned and walked towards the entrance.
“Hey, Lee Deok-gu! Where are you going again?”
Without fail, Yang Jung-geun started an argument against his back.
“I was going up to the third floor to take a quick rest.”
“okay? “I thought you were trying to lure the kids out again.”
“······.”
“What are you looking at? If you’re going to go up, get out quickly! “My face is also dirty…”
Lee Deok-gu’s face turned red, but in the end, he couldn’t say a word and had no choice but to turn around and go up the stairs.
Yang Jung-geun, who was looking at the back, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a victorious smile.
It was one of the trophies obtained from catching the thief three times earlier.
* * *
The main building had three floors.
The area of each floor was quite large, so even if close to 200 taggers were gathered on one floor, it could all be accommodated.
“Ah, it’s time for me to smoke…”
Two young men standing guard in the corner of the third floor were talking while looking at the outside view through the wide square hole shaped like a window.
“Is there anywhere I can get cigarettes?”
“Why don’t you ask Yang Jung-geun for it?”
“Are you crazy? “It’s obvious that you’ll get scolded afterward, right?”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
“I heard that the cigarette Yang Jung-geun is smoking was obtained from the bag of the thief caught earlier? So you’re saying that you can find it if you search inside this island?”
“Well, I guess so? “During the first round of the preliminary round, a lot of cigarettes were found in an empty house.”
“okay? “I never found it even in the first round of the preliminaries…?”
“That means you’re out of luck. “Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
“···Tsk.”
It was at that time when the two were talking like that.
“Would you like to smoke one at a time?”
The two heads turned at the sudden voice.
Their eyes caught the sight of Lee Deok-gu taking out two cigarettes from a cigarette pack and holding them out.
“Oh my, thank you!”
“Where did you get this?”
“I was lucky enough to find it at an abandoned house on the way back.”
Lee Deok-gu kindly lights the lighter.
The two young men took a sip,
“Kya~.”
“Oh, my head.”
Soon his expression changed to a happy one.
As their basics improved, they soon began to comfort Lee Deok-gu.
“Well, it’s very difficult, right? cheer up. “Honestly, Yang Jung-geun, all the taggers around you know that he is being too harsh with you.”
“I think it’s a bit harsh. “I wonder if they are catching me like a rat because I have done so much harm to them…”
“it’s okay. “You don’t have to worry about it.”
Lee Deok-gu responded with a smile and motioned for them to go downstairs.
“Go first and get your lunch box. “I will stand guard for you.”
“yes? Oh my, you don’t have to do that…”
“They say I’ve lost the appetite for lunch. I also want to be alone for just a moment… “Do you understand what I mean?”
“ah···.”
The two young men faced each other. Then, we remembered the scene where Yang Jung-geun was yelling at Lee Deok-gu a little while ago, and we nodded together.
“If you say so…”
Soon the two young men bowed and walked towards the stairs.
Lee Deok-gu, who was left alone, immediately activated his radar skill.
‘···No one is focusing on me.’
After confirming that all the people on the third floor were quite far away from Lee Deok-gu, he immediately looked up at the sky.
There was one ‘watching eye’ there.
After arriving here, Lee Deok-gu removed the ‘eyes of surveillance’ around him under Yang Jung-geun’s instructions, but deliberately did not remove those ‘eyes of surveillance’.
As Lee Deok-gu looked, the single eye of the ‘watching eye’ also looked down at him.
The single eye staring intently seemed to be asking this question.
-Why did you deliberately keep this ‘eye of surveillance’ alive? What are you up to?
Lee Deok-gu, who looked at the single-eyed figure for a moment, immediately took out his smartphone and opened a notepad.
Then, I enlarged the font to the maximum and wrote the following sentence.
– I want to kill Yang Jung-geun. To do that, Jinseong Kim, I need your help.
Afterwards, Deok-gu Lee lifted his smartphone and held it out towards the ‘eye of surveillance.’
So that the ‘surveillance eye’ can immediately check the text on the screen.
