◈ Episode 170: Brain stops (2)
next day.
“?”
Kim Joo-hyuk saw Yan Lang, Choi A-rin, Adelia Bentrick, and Black Cat all huddled together in the training room and talking about something.
Seeing them talking with serious expressions in the lounge as if they were talking about something very serious, Kim Joo-hyuk slowly turned his head and looked at his watch.
‘… … It’s 6 o’clock in the morning.’
6 o’clock in the morning.
For some, it is the time to wake up and start their morning training for the day, but for others, it is still time to get a sweet sleep.
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk was in the former category, but he knew that Yan Lang and Choi A-rin were in the latter category, who slept a lot in the morning.
But in addition to the two sleepy people, Black Cat and Adelia Bentrick are gathered together and talking about secrets?
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was quietly listening to the story, immediately shrugged his shoulders and grabbed the doorknob of the break room.
“Keep reading fanfiction a secret-”
“In any case, at first I-”
“Isn’t this a bit-”
“I didn’t write that article-”
Soon, a sound came out of the door, but Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t pay much attention and opened the door right away.
“Hey!”
“Sigh!”
“!”
“town… … !”
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk opens the door, they all close their mouths with shocked expressions.
Looking at them like that, Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head as if it was strange and asked.
“What are you guys talking about?”
“no… … that.”
“that is.”
“uh… … .”
“hmm… … .”
They seemed to have suffered a brain freeze in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, but they remained silent without saying a single word.
Kim Joo-hyuk repeatedly felt strange.
“Now, wait! Make some friends… … !?”
“Yeah, right! It’s a fellowship! “We saw each other often, but only a little face-to-face.”
“Ha, haha, right?”
“That’s right… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was listening to Yan Lang’s awkward laugh-out-loud excuse, smiled and answered.
“Are you gathering at 6 a.m. for a social gathering?”
“that… … That’s it!”
“that’s right.”
“Oh, that’s right!”
“you’re right… … !”
It was meant to be a bit sarcastic, but Kim Joo-hyuk looked at them with a strange expression when they saw them asking about it as soon as they brought up the topic of the social gathering, and immediately remembered the news he had seen yesterday.
‘You said four people gathered together yesterday, right?’
A thought that passed through Kim Joo-hyuk’s mind.
Kim Joo-hyuk stared at them, who were looking at him with a strangely uneasy expression, for a while.
“Okay, well, I get it.”
Kim Joo-hyuk soon nodded as if he understood and then turned his attention off them.
‘Well, there’s no need to reveal something if you want to hide it.’
Of course, he was a little curious as to why they were doing that, but when he thought about it, it wasn’t that curious, so Kim Joo-hyuk decided to stop asking them anything anymore.
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk turned to practice, they breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked at each other’s faces.
“This is the end of the story, right?”
“This is the end.”
“Keep the chat room as before.”
“Activities within the cafe must be kept within the cafe.”
After saying that, he ended the story by nodding his head once.
It’s evening as another day passes by.
“… … after.”
In the Bentrick family office, Adelia Bentrick sighed as if she was very tired and looked at the Kim Joo-hyuk fan cafe she had been active in until recently.
At first, he joined the fan cafe because of Burigamyeon, but later he started enjoying it as well.
‘I never thought things would turn out like that… … .’
Adelia Bentrick still remembered the shocking situation from yesterday.
When I went to the meeting, Choi A-rin, Yan Lang, and Black Cat were there, and even the scene where I confirmed that the owner of the cafe was THE ONE’s son, Logan Jr.
‘Have I been too complacent…? … ? No, who would have thought that the members who happened to gather in the chat room in the first place would be them? … !’
Adelia Bentrick thinks as she closes her eyes tightly.
In fact, she prepared a lot to go to this meeting.
In addition to an artifact that subtly makes his face unrecognizable, he also wore a one-time reverse magic artifact that could make his face appear different even to opponents with slightly magical powers.
Of course, by the time Black Cat, Choi A-rin, and Yan Lang had already arrived, it became meaningless, so I took it off.
“after… … .”
Anyway, the reason she prepared such artifacts and went to the meeting was because she was really curious about who the people who enjoyed chatting with her were.
question.

That’s just one thing.
However, the embarrassment Adelia Bentrick received in return for solving that curiosity was too great.
No, it was so big that it was literally turned into a groggy state by something Logan Jr. thoughtlessly said!
Of course, not only Adelia Bentrick but also others had their dark stories revealed one by one, so the embarrassment was reduced a little, but in any case, being embarrassed was just being embarrassed, so she did.
“eww… … .”
I had no choice but to close my eyes tightly for a while.
####
Daegong-dong.
A temporary shelter created by the Constellations of the Tower of Destruction to protect themselves from this attack by the Martial God.
Of course, even though it was a temporary residence, the building built by the Constellations of the Tower of Destruction did not have a pretty bad appearance.
And inside those temporary shelters.
“Currently, this is the situation.”
Barce was sitting at the head table where all the constellations of the Tower of Destruction were, listening to a briefing from a hidden strategist.
“… … hmm.”
Barce makes a short sound and lowers his head as if thinking.
To anyone’s surprise, it looked like he was listening to the words of a hidden strategist and thinking about how to counterattack the constellations.
‘… … .’
In fact, unlike the other constellations of the Tower of Destruction, Barche was not thinking at all.
okay.
Really, Barce had no thoughts.
He just makes a blank expression while listening to the briefing of a hidden strategist.
However, it wasn’t long before Barce began to force his head to turn.
He couldn’t get out of this place anyway, and the moment the truth was revealed, Barche could have been beaten to death by the Constellations of the Tower of Destruction.
‘What should I do to get out of here?’
A question I asked myself.
However, even when I asked myself questions, I could not come up with any answers.
‘Are you just going to act as a focal point like this?’
No, Barce shook his head when he remembered the fact that if he did that, Kim Joo-hyuk’s disciples might have his limbs torn apart.
‘Then what about escaping from here?’
That was something that could have resulted in my limbs being torn apart by the Constellations of the Tower of Destruction.
In short, no matter which one you choose, there is only a dead ending for Barce.
“… … .”
Barce continued to worry.
worry.
Worried again.
As Barce continued to remain silent for about 30 minutes without saying anything, the other constellations also remained silent, but Barce felt like the situation was getting even crazier.
How long has it been like that?
“after… … .”
Barce broke the silence with a long sigh.
Because he made a choice.
Barche slowly turned his gaze to look at the constellations of the Tower of Destruction.
The constellations are all looking at themselves with tense expressions.
At the end of Barce’s gaze, he looked at the hidden strategist who was also looking at him with a serious expression.
and.
“To win a battle, you must first deceive your allies.”
Barce said.
“… … .”
The constellations fell silent for a moment at those words.
He tilted his head slightly as if no one could understand what he meant.
The hidden strategist standing there also momentarily tilted his head to see what those words meant.
and.
“… … .”
Barce, who said those words, also didn’t know what he was talking about.
In short, the words that Barce just uttered so convincingly had no hidden meaning and were just one of those strange words.
Nevertheless, the reason why Barce said those words.
“Resourceful, I think you know.”
“!”
After thinking for over 30 minutes, Barce chose to run away from here and go to Musinmun.
In order for him to escape, he had to get out of here first.
If you think about it, the reason Barce has been able to survive until now is because of the illusion of a hidden strategist.
This time, he trusted the hidden strategist.
To be precise, it was because I believed in Barche, who was in the head of a hidden strategist.
“It will be over in a little while now.”
Barce didn’t even know what he was talking about and just got up from his seat, babbling in ignorance.
“And I shouldn’t be here until then.”
Soon Barce said so.
Squeak!
For a moment, he stumbled greatly and grabbed the desk, but he took one look at the constellations of the Tower of Destruction who were looking at him with an expression that seemed as if nothing was wrong, and then ran away.
A space filled with silence.
How much time has passed like that?
“… … Tower owner, isn’t this a little strange?”
“Do you think so too?”
“Yes, it’s a little strange, but at least the owner I knew wasn’t like that at all… … .”
“yes? No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.”
The constellations began to stir.
However, even at the moment when the constellations began to stir, the hidden strategist was seriously thinking about what Barce had said a moment ago.
‘Trick your allies first? What does that mean?’
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand it.
The hidden strategist also began to slowly open up one possibility.
‘no way… … .’
Bad thoughts that pop into your head.
How long had it been since the expression on the face of the hidden strategist began to become more and more frowning?
“Right, if you think about it, it was strange last time too. There was a time when you ran when the disciples of the god of war called you, right?”
“!!”
The hidden strategist suddenly heard a word from the constellation muttering dissatisfiedly, and his eyes widened.
‘surely… … !’
Certainly, Barce had shown such a side to the Constellations.
It was a scene that he could not understand no matter how much he thought about it.
however.
‘To win a battle, you must first deceive your allies… … ?’
‘Resourceful, I think you know.’
‘It will be over in a little while now.’
Soon, the hidden strategist, who was carefully recalling what Barce had said a moment ago, couldn’t help but open his eyes wide after recalling those sentences.
The next thing I felt was goosebumps that made my whole body go numb.
‘What if what Barce showed at that time was that he had predicted the situation in which this Musinmun would be created and had established a relationship with the disciples of Musin in advance?’
‘So… … If we are trying to completely destroy the martial arts newspaper that oppresses us from within… … !!’
The hidden strategist thought so and opened his mouth.
“Oh, you strategist! “The owner of the tower suddenly started moving towards Musinmun!”
Hearing the voice that was soon heard, the strategist smiled, thinking that his thoughts were correct.
When the hidden strategist began to fall into his own thoughts.
“… … help me.”
“… … .”
Burgage Mask looked at Barche with a blank expression in front of the Musinmun, who was cowering to the point where the onomatopoeia “Taeeng” could be heard.
And a few days after that.
A black hole has once again opened in Daegong-dong.
