[Women kidnapped in Nigeria reveal their stance on the black sickle… … .]
-It was revealed that the Korean player Black Scythe (nickname), who was known to have caused the IS leader to commit suicide and murdered his unit members, had even taken down a human trafficking organization.
In Nigeria, various organized crimes such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, prostitution, organ trafficking, and baby factories are still active, but these are now a thing of the past.
As a result revealed by the Nigerian government, it was confirmed that all 22 organizations that were being identified disappeared within a few days.
What happened?
It was none other than the good deeds of the person who claimed to be the Black Scythe.
Subina (30), a woman who was actually kidnapped by a human trafficking organization, testified.
They had to spend each day in pain like cattle waiting to be slaughtered, locked in a small cage with no light.
The reason he ate porridge that even pigs wouldn’t eat and endured sexual harassment from demonic gang members was because he didn’t have the courage to commit suicide.
It is said that the ray of light that came down from the prison, where all one could see was such despair, was a black scythe.
He said he eliminated the gang members and rescued all the women who were captured without any compensation.
In fact, the women who reported the kidnapping spoke in unison.
If it weren’t for Black Scythe and the Asian woman who appears to be his partner, they would still be trapped in that terrible prison.
Although I am neither a human rights activist nor a humanitarian, I was convinced of this one thing after listening to the stories of countless women who were saved by the Black Scythe.
Black Scythe’s actions should not be criticized, but should be praised.
(This article is an original copy of a Nigerian article.)
└Wow… … I have nothing to say about this.
└You saved dozens of kidnapped people.
└I’m not saying you saved me without anything in return and then disappeared without a word.
└Cool… … .
└He is truly a righteous man.
└If it is true, it really elevates the national prestige.
└Actually correct. When I searched Goggles, the original article came up.
└But the comments here are clean. In another article, there were a lot of people saying that Black Scythe should be punished for being a murderer.
└LOL Those murderers and whatnot, they went in, right?
└f*cks. Even after seeing this, if you talk about criminals’ human rights, they are not human, really.
└Those who are not human beings are human traffickers. I’m all mad.
└Black Scythe did a good job 100,000 times~
└(This comment was deleted after being reported.)
└But who is the woman who looked like your partner?
└Isn’t Black Scythe your girlfriend?
└LOL Black Scythe is so crazy that he would take his girlfriend to death?
└It’s literally a partner.
└God! I believed it. He is also the savior of this era. buy! god! am! sir!
A happy smile appeared on Ryumin’s lips after reading the article.
‘The atmosphere has changed.’
Thanks to the help of women in Nigeria, Black Scythe became a hero who saved people from a serial killer.
As articles representing the victims’ situation came out, many people became immersed in the victims and took Black Scythe’s side.
‘good. At this level, there will be no problem in going public.’
Ryumin picked up Lost Yak’s cell phone.
When I checked, there were hundreds of calls as expected.
‘Interviews, public service announcements, presidential awards, I’ll accept them all.’
At this point, Ryu Min decided to promote himself like a celebrity.
He intended to raise the reputation of the Black Scythe using all means and methods.
To make Black Scythe a head of state, he must first become famous.
So that the general public does not know the name Black Scythe.
‘Should I try using it when I feel this good?’
Ryumin took out an item from his inventory.
It was a rune bundle received as a reward for round 10.
If I use it when I’m in a good mood like I am now, I’ll feel less bad even if a bad rune appears.
‘use.’
The package in my hand disappeared along with a bright light.
At the same time, a rune that I had never seen before appeared and a message saying that it had been imprinted on my body appeared before my eyes.
* * *
Nine months have already passed since the world changed.
There are only 130,000 people between the ages of 15 and 29 left, which started with 1.8 billion.
Among them, there are less than 700 Korean players.
Globally, the population has decreased by more than 22%.
It was a population deletion that was enough to shake the economy.
-It’s ruined. Our company went bankrupt.
Ma Gyeong-rok has seen many company presidents who hesitate and lament about their situation like that.
I understand.
As a businessman myself, I feel like it deserves to be heard.
But I don’t sympathize.
‘Because I’m eating well and living well.’
I just need to live well.
‘No, we just need to do well as a company.’
Because Ma Gyeong-rok had such a dominant mindset, even though he could understand the lamentations of those around him with his head, he could not sympathize with them with his heart.
Because his company did not fail unlike others.
‘Is it just as the prophet said? After switching to a VVIP site, sales really didn’t decrease.’
Upon returning from the round, Play Market reorganized the site exclusively for VVIPs, which had been prepared in advance.
In order to better capture existing customers, we included a lot of events and increased the auction volume.
‘There were many good items among the items given by the prophet, so they helped maintain the market.’
It’s been a week since I returned from the round.
As the number of customers decreased by a quarter, transaction volume inevitably decreased, but the change in sales was not significant.
This was because players who felt a threat to their survival began an active trading offensive, pouring all their money into finding better items.
Meanwhile, setting up the site like a VVIP also played a part.
‘It is good that you listened to the prophet. ‘Hehe.’
Ma Gyeong-rok smiled.
He was proud of his choice not to doubt the prophet.
Of course, it is true that the advice of prophets plays a big role.
But a prophet only shows the way.
Isn’t the choice ultimately up to you?
‘I judged the prophet’s advice well and accepted it. Well, I admit that being a prophet is a blessing.’
Now I no longer have to worry about the company going out of business.
I was confident that I could manage well even without the advice of a prophet.
The question is whether this momentum will lead to success worthy of listing on the KOSPI.
‘We need to prepare for listing soon. In order to be recognized by my father, there is nothing more certain than listing on KOSPI.’
Putting aside his worries about the company, Ma Gyeong-rok thought of other worries.
‘Is the next 11 rounds of death finally coming?’
Of course, he didn’t worry about Ma Gyeong-rok himself.
I was worried about my fiancee who might die during the 11th round.
‘I hope you are safe.’
There were no affectionate feelings.
It’s just sympathy based on pity.
Ma Gyeong-rok was not interested in dating in the first place.
It is nothing more than a business relationship that has inevitably become entangled due to the father’s sanctification.
On the surface, we were lovers, but we never even kissed like that.
Some people might misunderstand that she liked men, but it was Ma Kyung-rok who really only knew herself and the company.
Even so, I couldn’t help but be interested now.
‘What if Christine dies as prophesied? Surely criticism will be pointed at me too, right?’
If you know it’s dangerous but can’t stop it, you can’t avoid criticism.
I was engaged at best, but if I died, it was clear that my image would suffer.
‘I have to be by my side to protect Christine. They say the 11th round will be integrated with other countries.’
For more detailed information, you can listen to the prophet Ryumin.
‘It’s already time to come… … .’
At that time, the door to the representative office opened with a knocking sound.
Contrary to expectations, the person who came in was not Ryu Min.
It was Christine, a blonde white woman.
“You’re here. “Christine.”
“I’m sorry for coming to you so suddenly.”
“Haha, what is there to be sorry about? “We’re not just normal, we’re lovers, but it’s nice to see each other often, right?”
Ma Gyeong-rok always showed a good-natured smile in front of Christine.
Christine didn’t know that she was even more wary of that appearance.
“You know the reason I came over because you heard it over the phone, right?”
“Of course. Today is the meeting day, so please wait a little longer. coffee?”
“Good.”
Ma Gyeong-rok, who had made coffee in the stew room, talked about various things with Christine.
What was the weather like, did you encounter any inconveniences when you arrived, and did you say your father was well?
There were also conversations among players about what level they were at, whether the 10th round was difficult, or whether hearing the prophecy was truly magical.
It was a conversation that did not have the sweetness of an ordinary couple.
Meanwhile, Ma Gyeong-rok received a call from his subordinate.
“Oh yeah? All right.”
“What call is this?”
“He came.”
“ah.”
Ma Gyeong-rok got up from his seat and went out of the office to prepare to greet him.
After a while, a short man came into the office.
prophet.
He was the reason Christine came to Korea.
“Hello, CEO Ma.”
“Major, are you here?”
While Ryumin was saying hello, he found Christine standing next to him.
“I see you also have a fiancée?”
“Hello, Ryumin.”
“Hello, Christine.”
“You remember my name.”
“sure. “I know why you came to see me.”
Christine looked at Ma Gyeong-rok with surprised rabbit eyes.
The look in his eyes asked if he had told him why he had come, but Ma Gyeong-rok just shook his head.
“Representative Ma didn’t say a word to me. I foresaw everything. “Shall we talk in a quiet place first?”
“great.”
Christine, who was following Ryu Min outside, soon stopped Ma Gyeong-rok who was following her.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll listen alone.”
“Oh, that’s right. “I will wait here, so please feel free to talk.”
“thank you.”
Ryumin and Christine sat on the bench in front of the office.
“It would be nice here. But why did CEO Ma tell you not to come?”
“I think it would be easier to talk about. “It’s a serious matter that puts my life at risk, and if more people hear about it, it might change the future, right?”
“Well, it’s not wrong.”
Ryu Min, who was grinning, suddenly asked bluntly.
“Did you come to Korea because you were worried about the 11th round?”
“yes. “More precisely, I came because I wanted to meet the Prophet and hear his advice.”
“It’s advice… … . “I think I said everything then.”
“That’s not what I thought. Even though you know, you are hiding it. “Who will save me, and who will threaten me?”
“… … .”
“If you don’t have any shame, please tell me. “You said there is a group of people who don’t recognize me. Who exactly is that?”
“I don’t know either. “I told you this before.”
“i know. But please give me even a small clue. I heard you saw the scene at the time. It’s better if you prevent it in advance. “It might be helpful in a crisis.”
“I don’t remember now. “I forgot everything.”
“… … .”
Christine couldn’t find anything to say.
As I continued to remain ignorant, there was no way to do anything.
“Then what about the person who said he would save me? Have you seen the face? “Do you remember?”
“I know, but I can’t tell you.”
“I’m afraid that if I tell you, the future will change?”
“I know very well.”
“Can you still tell me? “I will be careful not to change the future.”
“How can you guarantee that? “And then, when Christine dies, I wonder how I’ll look at CEO Ma’s face.”
“… … .”
“You may have come here after a month because you are curious and anxious, but there is nothing you can do. “There are limits to the information I can provide.”
“ha… … .”
There is no such thing as an iron wall.
I felt frustrated, but Christine understood.
It is natural that if the future changes, the prophet’s trust will be broken.
“sorry. “I think I was so excited that I pushed myself too far.”
“no.”
“I guess I was anxious and more sensitive because they said something would happen in the next round. “I apologize again.”
Christine, who spoke politely, asked for confirmation.
“Then is there nothing else for me to do but wait for someone to save me?”
“yes. “For now, that would be best.”
“Whoa… … .”
“Don’t worry too much. Christine. “Everything will be fine.”
The simple and warm comfort helped Christine feel a little less anxious.
“Thank you, Prophet. “I believe it because the Prophet said so.”
“Yes? Well then, since the CEO is also waiting, shall we just go up? “Now that you’re here, let’s listen to the predictions for the 11th round together.”
“all right.”
Two people got up from the bench and entered the office.
Without even knowing that someone was staring at him like he was going to kill him.
