Return of the Frozen Player 496
fourth (6)
Seo Jun-ho, who came out to see him off at the entrance, repeatedly warned.
“Don’t get into real trouble. It’s the seventh.”
“Ah, I know. what kind of mother Stop nagging.”
“I’m not a mother, but I’m like your big brother.”
At this, Junshik snorted and laughed.
“I am your alter ego? What kind of brother is that?”
“Think about it.” I’ve been born already… … Anyway, it’s been a while, but you’re only about two years old.”
“… … Does that happen?”
The blind man tilted his head.
When I heard it, it seemed to make sense
by praying
“Anyway, when you go for a walk, keep your mouth shut. If you’re not confident, would you like a muzzle?”
“Oh, does this hurt you? I do not need.”
Jun-shik said, ‘This bastard’s house!’ They grumbled and started fighting.
Looking back, I’m already worried.
“Contractor, if you’re that worried, why don’t you follow me secretly?”
“No, I believe in Junshik.”
My name is my alter ego, so I can’t even do that properly.
“In the first place, this side also has a mountain of work to do… …
World Tree said.
He said that the emperor of the 5th floor was given ‘inherent authority’.
“We need to find out what those permissions are.”
Seo Jun-ho, who opened the city management window, began examining the items carefully.
The time when Seo Jun-ho was in the middle of searching.
A parade was being held in the streets of Neo City.
-Kung” Piri-ri Moon
The sound of drums and flutes echoes with excitement, and a huge golden palanquin carried by robots passes by.
Of course, Junshik with a displeased face was sitting on top of him.
He looked down at the street and murmured.
“… … What amusement park is it?”
On the streets, churros and cotton candy were sold, as well as headbands with animal ears.
did every
And endless crowds of people who came to see them.
“Darkness, this way!”
“Look this way!”
“Try to laugh! smile!”
“under.”
When I laughed out of embarrassment, the extension flash went off.
“Okay, let’s move on to the next point. Let’s take a picture from the left this time.”
“yes!”
Suddenly, the fancafe members moved in perfect order, as if they were on tour in a group.
‘… … I really like it.’
They should know that the main body is a cold-blooded person who does not abide by labor laws and has no blood or tears.
Seo Jun-shik turned his head slightly.
“wow! I met eyes with His Majesty the Emperor… …
“I, too, am seeing Your Majesty for the first time.”
The children who saw the emperor for the first time wondered what was so strange about the stretched kiln.
followed
Jun-sik, who smiled faintly at the sight of him, heard their conversation.
“My mother said it, but His Majesty the Emperor can do anything.”
“that’s right. He said he could do it even when it rains or snows.”
“really? But why can’t you turn off the gas outside the city?”
It’s an innocent question that a child would have.
‘That’s right, the emperor’s reign is limited to cities… …
Junshik’s face hardened as he continued to think.
‘Wait, come to think of it, why is the scope of government limited to cities?’
The only thing the emperor can set is the setting of ‘inside the city’.
Something I hadn’t thought about before suddenly came to me.
“Hello.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Give those children plenty of food, and turn the palanquin. Go back to the palace.”
When Jun-shik canceled his schedule and returned, Seo Jun-ho sighed.
“What is the problem? Why did the parade stop all of a sudden… … ?”
his words flowed.
Junshik’s expression was serious because the atmosphere was different from usual.
“what. What happened? Who bothers Heidi? Shall I scold you?”
“So absurd. Where do I have time to go and get beaten up?”
what happened during the parade
summarized quickly.
“Isn’t it strange? If you really are the administrator of the 5th floor, why is your scope of control only within the city?”
“Yeah… … Uh, sure.”
Only in this way is it not like a ‘manager of the 5th floor’, but a ‘manager of the city’.
Seo Jun-ho, who became serious at the same time, said.
“I mean, is this what you want to say? I wonder if there is actually a separate manager on the 5th floor.”
“that’s right. In fact, no one ever told us that we were the administrators of the 5th floor.”
“That’s right.”
I just thought of it naturally.
The 5th floor is Neo City.
He is the emperor who is the manager of Neo City.
In other words, he is the manager of the 5th floor.
“… … It was a fallacy in the syllogism.”
“That’s right!”
When the premise, taken for granted, collapsed, a new fact emerged.
“Then, the manager of the 5th floor is
Do you mean relapse?”
“I guess so. I thought it was a bit odd at first. The managers downstairs are all transcendental.”
But only on the 5th floor, out of nowhere, the important role is entrusted to the player?
In retrospect, it’s certainly so strange that it makes no sense.
As I gathered the clues step by step, I realized another fact.
-The emperor on the 5th floor does not have the right to operate the store, but Frost Queen’s reasoning is wrong.
it’s not lean
-Because the emperor is given his own authority.
“… … You impostor.”
The words of the world tree suddenly came to mind.
She called herself the ‘Emperor’ of the 5th floor, but never called her Administrator.
“Ah.”
Shame flooded in.
In front of the manager, call yourself the manager
What did you think when you saw the thinking player?
“Damn it, you’re the one who did it, so why should I feel ashamed?”
Seo Jun-shik, his face reddened, protested.
“Oh, I don’t know, just think about it.”
Seo Jun-ho, who stopped him, took a moment to organize his thoughts.
‘In other words, I’m just the manager of Neo City, not the manager of the 5th floor.’
However, in the world tree, the emperor, the ‘manager of Neo City’, has his own authority.
You said you were
‘I even praised Queen Lee’s insight while saying it.’
In other words, it is clear that the authority will be of great help in absorbing ‘Cepesh’s core’.
When he had put it all together, there was only one conclusion Seo Jun-ho came to.
“Wait a minute, I have something in mind too.”
Seo Jun-shik asked with his eyes shining brightly.
“Let’s talk at the same time.”
I think I would have done better if I knew… …
I will also come to a conclusion.
Without delay, Seo Jun-ho opened the city setting window and set the search term he wanted.
“Call manager.”
I wondered if this was real, but after loading for a while, it really came out.
[Call manager] button.
“… … Do you want to press this together?”
“Heh, even if you come and take care of me, it’s too late.”
While grumbling with your mouth, you quietly reach out your hand
do
The moment two people press the button at the same time.
vision has changed.
‘Here……
He stood on the ground made of iron.
In front of my eyes, a black space spreads out infinitely.
universe.
Seo Jun-ho mumbled at the unreal sight.
“What is this again?”
There is no voice to reconcile.
Looking around, Junshik was gone.
Not only that guy, but he couldn’t feel any magic power from his own body either.
It’s like being a normal human being before becoming a player.
‘Is it like a trap?’
For a moment, Seo Jun-ho raised his alertness and looked around.
– Please don’t panic.
With an unfamiliar mechanical sound, from behind
something happened about
Seo Jun-ho, who reflexively turned around, opened his mouth.
Kirik, Kirik.
The iron floor disintegrates, forming a gigantic human figure rising into the sky.
-My name is Deus Ex Machina. °] God of all machinery in the world.
The steel giant, completed in an instant, spoke.
-At the same time, you are the manager of the 5th floor, so you don’t have to be afraid.
“I’m not really afraid… …
Seo Jun-ho, who was answering, realized it belatedly.
that his voice was trembling.
Not only the voice, but also the body.
-This is my own world where magic cannot exist. It is a natural phenomenon for a human being who has a transcendental figure in his sights.
After calmly nodding his head, the steel giant carefully lowered his body.
-Now then, why did you ask to see me?
can you hear
For a being the size of a building, it was a very polite voice.
After thinking for a while, Seo Jun-ho opened his mouth.
“There is something I want to ask of Deus-sama.”
-Please… … It’s been a long time since I’ve heard such a thing. what kind of request
“Did you know that a player can get a hack by defeating a floor master?”
– Of course. it gets harder
A minimum safety device for attacking the upper part of the vagina.
The machine’s eyes glowed blue and stared at Seo Jun-ho.
-As far as I know, haven’t you already absorbed a few to gain abilities?
“Yeah, and this time I got a chance and got another one.”
When I took out the core of Chepes and showed it, Deus nodded.
-indeed. The vampire’s core has fallen into your hands.
“yes. However, 17 years of absorption alone
I needed it. Something is very wrong.”
-Come on, there’s not a single thing wrong with the settings of the system. Bondi syndrome was created with hundreds of years of capture in mind.
“Hundreds of years…?”
Nonsense. If that’s true, isn’t the current attack speed abnormally fast?
Because it is a situation where we have broken through the 6th floor in only 28 years.
-7 years.
Deus looked at Seo Jun-ho.
-Anyway, after you intervened, the players were able to rise to that position in just 7 years.
“This is an overestimation. It’s hard to see it as my ability… …
– You are humble. But how was the ’25 Years of Gap’ without you?
During that long time, players couldn’t clear even a single floor.
I was able to go up to the 3rd floor thanks to Reiji’s consideration, but I couldn’t catch the 2nd floor boss, Nabi.
-I already heard about the manager on the second floor. I heard you took the hack at her shop. Perhaps the content you want to ask me is a part similar to that.
Rumors have already spread.
Come to think of it, since Reiji was even punished by being locked in a meeting for that incident, it seemed that he would not try to help himself as another manager.
‘I was in a hurry, so my thoughts were short.’
Was it too much of a request?
As Seo Jun-ho’s complexion darkened, the steel giant closed his eyes and pondered.
– Mmm, but let’s talk about it. If you do my favor first, I’m willing to do yours too.
“Are you sure?”
-Let me swear by my existence.
oath of existence.
It was also used when Frost Queen became her own spirit, and if the contents were violated, the existence would disappear.
‘Even more so when it comes to an oath made by a transcendent… …
There is no reason not to believe it.
In the first place, he, the manager of the 5th floor, wouldn’t be able to gain anything by lying to himself.
“great. May I ask you something?”
-… … Can I find out more about who you are?
“Is it some kind of psychological counseling?”
-Similar, but much more sophisticated than that. I will look into the depths of your heart.
After thinking for a moment, Seo Jun-ho nodded.
It was thanks
“great. What can I do?”
– You just need to be still.
Hey, I think I heard this line recently.
-Then let’s begin.
Hundreds of iron wires flowed from Deus’ body and headed for Seo Jun-ho.
-please… … Prove it.
‘What do you mean?’
Before the words could even leave his mouth, the iron wires dug into his body.
At the same time, consciousness crashed somewhere.
