I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game Chapter 345

Chapter 345

Episode 345: Honest Answer

“Xin-Hwaaah ssssssssssssss… … .”

“Call me Sinhwa. “There is no need for tones.”

Although it is one of Red Hat’s VIP rooms, it is a different room from the one where I was talking with Red Hat a moment ago.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .”

Park Gwang-rim crawls out from under the spacious table in that room.

“What are you saying?”

Since being trapped in [Cthulhu World], I have been able to read and write about 50 languages. Since the study was for the purpose of interpreting books of magic, it is not possible to even converse.

Still, I can roughly understand the nuance.

“Nice to meet you? Oh, did you say you missed me?”

“I’m dizzy. Don’t worry, I’m sorry.”

Although he is muttering in a mixture of Korean and Chinese, he is not saying anything very important. Just whining about feeling dizzy and saying that it feels good.

I turned my head and asked Jeokdu a question.

“How much did you give me?”

“The alcohol was very strong.”

Jeokdu’s answer, leaning diagonally against the doorway.

It was an answer that sounded like an alumni answer, but there was a huge amount of alcohol bottles rolling around in this room where Park Gwang-rim was alone.

It’s all hard liquor with an alcohol content of over 50 percent. Did they keep force-feeding him until he got drunk?

“Are you dissatisfied? You are ‘treating’ Brother well as he requested, right? “He doesn’t really like being sane.”

Jeokdu shakes his shoulders and laughs silently, wondering what’s funny.

Watching him wriggling with his head down makes me feel even a slight sense of discomfort.

“… … .”

When I pull Park Gwang-rim’s arm and roll up his sleeve, I see terrible self-harm marks.

“Jeonghyeon, I don’t know what that showed that Chinese guy, but it’s going to take a while to live a normal life. Well, if Brother wants, I can even take responsibility for his rehabilitation.”

Although it was annoying, I had no choice but to accept it.

Before I had fully recovered from the shock in Busan, I was captured by a cult that wielded supernatural powers – it was understandable that I was going crazy.

Jeokdu showed his own kind of ‘kindness’ to Park Gwang-rim, who was having a hard time due to confusion. After all, alcohol gives the gift of oblivion and pleasure.

“Huh, well, Tsue-hu… … .”

I really don’t know what this means. It doesn’t seem like he wants to say anything meaningful.

“Mr. Gwanglim, it’s okay now. “Just sleep.”

I bent down and activated my magic.

[Ka’s Golden Sand]

Golden sand pouring over Park Gwang-rim’s head. It is a magic that induces sleep.

“Umm… … . Little brother… … .”

Just like last time, he’s looking for his younger brother in me again. Park Gwang-rim thought he would resist for a moment, but quickly fell asleep.

And a few more.

Giiiiiiing-

A magic technique that permeates Park Gwang-rim’s body.

“You take good care of it. Brother, is that Chinese person so precious?”

“no.”

I answered briefly and straightened my back.

“I only help because I have compassion. “He’s also someone I used to work with.”

Now, casting a few spells like this is as easy as breathing.

I suddenly remember saying something completely different to Tudor, but what do you think? Humans are inherently contradictory beings.

“You have been born a saint. He was so kind to the conman who was selling his name. “If my life goes to waste, will I be able to receive Brother’s pity?”

What is this crazy thug talking about?

I responded by lightly hitting Jeokdu’s chest with my magical left hand.

“It would be better to just hope that such a situation does not happen. “Client.”

Jeokdu quietly giggles again, wondering what’s good.

“good. A troubleshooter. “Now that I’ve sobered up enough, shall we take it easy in private?”

* * *

The galley of a nightclub.

The smell of food wafting in from all directions.

In that messy place where chefs are bustling around, a gang of red heads dressed in formal suits and a magician wearing a mask enter.

It’s a familiar atmosphere to everyone.

It’s not a particularly new sight to me either. In a way, it’s a scene that has become a cliché, and it’s a route we’ve already seen in the game.

Yeah, there.

Now Jeokdu will open the freezer door and make a cool move.

“Brother. “This way.”

A posture as if performing magic.

“… … .”

I went into the freezer without much response.

Of course, this is a secret passage.

A gloomy hallway spreads beyond the freezer.

“Isn’t this a very interesting scene for a wizard?”

“Instead of wasting this passion on something strange, why don’t you get a job at a broadcasting station or something?”

Jeokdu shakes his head and laughs silently at my sarcasm.

“Uhm~ I’m a sincere gangster, and this is a hobby that’s helpful in my real job. “Charisma comes from unexpectedness.”

“ah. yes.”

Jeokdu continued giving directions, giggling with a happy expression.

Unlike nightclubs with flashy lights, the dim and ominous lighting was placed quite intentionally.

Iron doors placed at regular intervals in a narrow hallway. It’s structured like a prison.

Jeokdu opened one of the rooms, offered a seat, and then spoke.

“It’s a space to use when having important conversations. “Everyone is honest here.”

The noise of an exciting nightclub, pounding and ringing.

And someone’s moans could be faintly heard from the next room.

Messy blood stains left everywhere.

It is a secret space used to conduct torture or coercive negotiations.

Still, seeing as there is a sofa and a table, it seems like this room is at least a space for conversation.

As soon as I sat down on the sofa, Jeokdu opened his mouth.

“Brother, I don’t mean to say it, but- ‘that’ isn’t normal. “Did you see him hold my hand and immediately betray me?”

The person who Jeokdu said ‘that’ was the person I called ‘Jeong Hyeon-ah’ until now.

How many betrayals have there been today?

Jeokdu offered to hand me over to Hyuna.

Hyuna, who received the offer, attacked me and attacked Jeokdu at the same time.

Of course, I expected Hyuna’s betrayal, so I placed the command golems on the route where the attack was expected.

“And we induced that betrayal.”

“What’s important is that you formed an alliance and betrayed it less than a day later. I’m saying this because I have a lot of friends who are like that, but… … .”

In the dark, damp basement where torture had been taking place just moments before, Jeokdu continued speaking with an overly refreshing smile.

“You can’t think of those who sold their souls to monsters as the same person.”

Contradictory speaking style.

Jeokdu likes to form alliances with cultists. Because he can betray at any time.

‘This is why I don’t like red beans very much.’

In terms of being a sociopath, Jeokdu has a higher aptitude for being a cultist than a broadcaster’s producer.

But at the same time, because he was a terrible narcissist, he became the godfather of a criminal organization rather than a broadcaster’s producer or cult member.

“Brother.”

“yes.”

“Would you like a drink?”

sigh.

“As I said before, it’s okay.”

“I’m going to drink some more. Hyungsik. One glass. And that, that. What do you call that? plate. that. “Bring that too.”

The one-eyed giant who was standing behind Jeokdu nodded silently and left the room.

In the meantime, Jeokdu will be calculating who and how much he will ‘really’ sell me to at any time.

Although they use fancy words like alliance, sworn brother, and request, it is chaos as none of the characters trust each other.

Well, I am not particularly innocent in this chaos.

‘Park Gwang-rim and Jeokdu, that doesn’t mean they’re moving for Hyuna.’

Because I am planning a completely different future than what the other characters dream of.

“Are you sure you don’t drink?”

“What kind of disaster are you going to cause by getting a wizard drunk?”

“Hmm~ I see.”

The one-eyed giant, that is, Bang Hyeong-sik, has a drinking glass and a bottle – and the ‘what do you call it?’ that Jeokdu said. I came back with a plate.

“okay. this. “What on earth is this thing called?”

There was no way Bang Hyeong-sik could answer because he couldn’t speak, so I answered instead.

“It’s a tablet PC.”

“Hmmmm-”

Jeokdu muttered softly while holding a glass of alcohol to his mouth and handed over a tablet PC.

“Brother. “Look at this first.”

Photos displayed on the tablet PC screen.

Clouds tangled in a bizarre way. Lightning flashing in the clouds. And in the middle, there is a short-haired woman who looks small.

“It’s a rare photo.”

It is a natural disaster that only occurs in [Cthulhu World], [Yangseo Lake Storm].

The Yangseo Lake storm itself is easy to observe, but clear photos of Yangseo Lake are extremely rare, so you can receive a significant reward if you report it to a newspaper.

This is a photo that players can get an achievement for if they take it, but who took this?

“It was taken by a reporter who thought it was Carp. “It’s an old photo, but it was taken in Mokpo.”

Gafu… … .

“But Mokpo? “I guess this photo was taken during the fight against Mansae Iwongyo, right?”

“Do you know this story? okay. “Yang Seo-ho arrested Dok Go-gyeom of the Manse Ilwon Church in Mokpo.”

Because of that incident, Dok Go-gyeom was transported to Sejong City, and around Buyeo, I helped Dok Go-gyeom escape.

For reference, when I returned from my schedule in Busan, Dokgo-gyeom had already disappeared somewhere.

“What is that- ah.”

I remember. At that time, Park Gwang-rim asked me for information.

“okay. “They say that at that time, Manse Ilwon Church was smuggling something from Egypt.”

“okay.”

“Brother. That, yeah. Click there to go to the next page.”

Jeokdu says roughly and kisses the glass again.

As he said, I turned the next page, and a picture of a large wooden container appeared.

“This is information purchased from a broker named Purmir. It is said that a servant of Manse Iwongyo handed over this container to Jeong Hyeon-ah. Can you see Mokpo written here?”

Indeed, that is the trend.

“What was in here?”

“I asked my Cheonghopa friends who came to visit today. “I heard there were four statues of some kind inside.”

“A statue?”

“huh. What kind of animal do you think it is? They were honest friends, but they didn’t really know anything. “I just lost my strength for no reason.”

Jeokdu smiles brightly while tipping his glass. The story goes that they were harassed until they became honest.

It’s an animal statue… … .

That alone can narrow down many possibilities.

First of all, if the story involves artifacts rather than people, many problems can be solved just by destroying them.

“Brother, now to the next page.”

The next photo is a very wide shot – a landscape photo of somewhere. I don’t know where it is, but it’s not a sight you can see in Korea.

“Where am I?”

“Cheongho’s house. The interior of that house was completely redone. “There are a few more chapters, so flip through them.”

“Huh, that’s bullshit.”

Originally, it was a fairly unique building to call it an ‘ordinary mansion.’

‘There was a watch tower equipped with a machine gun.’

It was even more spectacular now.

After filling my mind with the information I could see in the photo, I handed the tablet back to the person.

“This is all the information I have obtained. “The kids I sent lost contact after seeing that photo.”

“This is enough. “I will finish it tomorrow, so don’t worry.”

“That’s great. Hyungsik, a hair tie.”

A small hair tie that comes from the arms of a one-eyed giant.

“How can we help?”

After asking that question, Jeokdu held a hair tie in his mouth and swept up his hair.

“it’s okay.”

“I do not need?”

“yes.”

“nothing?”

“nothing.”

“Hmm-”

Jeokdu, who had her bright red hair tied up, shook her head a few times and then spoke.

“Didn’t you prefer to be around in groups?”

“I’ve never done that.”

“In Busan-”

Ah, this guy is really clueless.

“Let me correct you. “Tastes have changed.”

“Since your tastes have changed, how about changing things up a bit and playing with me? “Let’s do a lot of fun things together.”

[‘Red Head, the leader of the Red Head Faction’ proposes to become a member of the Red Head Faction. Would you like to accept this?]

This is not a short-term request, but a full-fledged proposal.

I haven’t even completed the request yet, but it’s already such a big deal… … . Is it because my charm stat has become too high?

I shook my head and answered.

“I said something similar earlier, but you’d better hope that situation doesn’t happen.”

This time I will do it alone.

I don’t like other people getting involved anymore, and I don’t like the number of characters increasing.

Jang Hyeon-deok?

You can hire as many driving experts as you want to replace him, and Park Gwang-lim is ultimately just a subordinate version of Tudor, no matter what.

You can even find someone to replace Tudor in Paju.

“is it? “I can’t help it.”

Jeokdu still answered with a refreshing smile, but-

[Due to your rejection, the enemy’s favorability will drop significantly.]

I look forward to what kind of modifications he will make the next time he meets Jeokdu.

It doesn’t matter since I have insurance anyway.

“I’ll just go now. “There is a lot to prepare.”

“I’ll see you off.”

“it’s okay.”

I plan to meet Jeong Hyeon-ah tomorrow.

I hope there aren’t any big variables, but… … .
