Episode 149
149. Al Baghdadi
dump-!
Victor couldn’t believe his eyes.
Abubakar was shaking at his feet, his face in tatters.
The Boko Haram boss who had been harassing him for a year.
“Ahhhh, ahhh…” … .”
Seeing him with all his teeth missing and bleeding profusely, Victor had no sympathy.
Rather, I felt the urge to kill, as if now was my chance.
Considering the hardships he endured while being captured, it would be a shame to tear him to death.
“Don’t kill him yet.”
The savior wearing a white mask spoke in English.
When I hear his voice, he sounds like a man, but I don’t know what country he is from.
Victor first thanked him.
“Thank you so much. Thanks to you, Ricky and the kids were safe. Ricky. “You too, say hello.”
“Thank you, thank you.”
Ryumin thought as he looked at Ricky who was shyly greeting him.
‘Seeing this kid for the first time, I guess he was originally destined to die.’
He probably would have died if he hadn’t stepped forward.
Did Victor and the kids let their guard down when they greeted each other?
People who had kept their distance just moments ago slowly approached Ryumin and expressed their gratitude.
“Thank you, Mask.”
“thank you. “For saving my life.”
“thank you. “Thank you for taking care of that trash.”
After reading his thoughts, he realized that he was a complete ally.
Not only did they kill all of Boko Haram’s members, but they also captured their boss.
Who wouldn’t think of this as an ally?
The eyes of people looking at Ryumin were filled with deep respect and goodwill.
At that time, Victor asked a question on behalf of everyone.
“Mask. What’s your name?”
“… … .”
“Oh, I know it’s hard to reveal. So you must have been wearing a mask. But please consider our position as well. If you are a lifesaver but don’t even know its name, wouldn’t you live with resentment for the rest of your life? “If it’s difficult for you, please at least tell me your nickname.”
“Black scythe. “That’s my nickname.”
“ah… … !”
The others didn’t know because they were ordinary people, but Victor couldn’t hide his surprise as soon as he heard the name.
“Are you really Black Scythe?”
“Do I look like someone who would lie?”
“Oh, that’s not it, it’s just too hard to believe… … .”
There’s a famous person in front of you that players can’t help but know.
As a benefactor who saved his life?
It was natural for Victor to find it difficult to believe.
“I never thought I would meet Black Scythe, who is ranked #1… … It is an honour. My name is Victor Jafaile. “I’m a player and a level 40 alchemist.”
“Is that so?”
Although he already knew everything about his identity, Ryu Min responded indifferently.
“But what did you say a moment ago? “Don’t kill me yet?”
“I say this because it still has value. “We have to bring out the leader of IS through this guy.”
“Leader?”
Victor was held captive by Boko Haram for a year, but even he does not know who the leader of IS is.
Since it is a branch organization, there are many people and it is difficult to find the headquarters, and the leader hides his identity behind the scenes.
“What are you going to do… … .”
“I’m thinking of sending a text. Like this guy’s picture. “Now that we’re talking, let’s throw the bait right away.”
Ryumin took a picture of Abubakar in disrepair and then searched for the IS leader’s contact information via text message.
I know who the leader is because I checked it in the last episode.
‘This guy already sent a text message saying he was being attacked.’
I thought it went well and sent a text message with a photo.
[Aboubakar: He was defeated. If you want to save him, run here right now.]
Victor tilted his head after seeing the text.
“Is this person an IS leader?”
“That’s right.”
“How did you… … .”
“I just know.”
“No, rather, if I send it like this, will he come? Wouldn’t it be better if he didn’t come?”
There is no way the cold-hearted leader of IS would be swayed by such threats.
All we have to do is elect a new Boko Haram boss.
It was a question with that in mind, and Ryu Min agreed with it.
But he was confident.
“There will be a response. certainly. Wouldn’t you rather be interested?”
Because in the previous episode, leader al-Baghdadi was identified in this way.
just as expected.
A text message ticked by.
[Al-Baghdadi: Wait there.]
He probably got interested when he heard about the black scythe, but he probably became even more interested when he learned that he single-handedly brought down the organization.
“Wow, you really responded.”
Victor opened his eyes in surprise when he saw the text.
However, his face quickly changed into a worried one.
“Are you really planning on going to war with IS?”
“Once it has started, all IS members must be eradicated.”
“Wouldn’t it be too dangerous?”
“Me? Or those guys?”
Victor laughed at Ryumin’s confident words.
It never felt pretentious or conceited.
Because he was a man with such power and qualifications.
“I was worried for no reason.”
“Victor, what are you going to do now?”
Victor spoke softly in response to Ryumin’s question.
“I have to go back to my hometown, Lagos. “If I go now, I’ll be able to see my family for the first time in a year.”
Ryumin nodded and waved his hand outside.
“Go quickly. “Leave this to me.”
It seems like he will let it go without any regrets.
Of course, Ryumin, who read his inner thoughts, knew that Victor would not go.
“Why don’t you go?”
“We will watch.”
Victor’s eyes had already made a decision.
“I will stay here and see what outcome the demons who tormented me will meet until the end.”
“What about the others? Do you also feel the same way as Victor?”
People hesitated at Ryumin’s question, but then nodded.
“Honestly, I don’t want to stay here even for a second, but if Victor stays, we will stay too.”
“I will stay and see what happens to IS.”
Although I liked his resolute will and courage, Ryumin quietly shook his head.
When thinking about the battle ahead, they are only a burden.
“It might be okay because Victor is a player, but you are ordinary people. How can you stay in the IS camp when a bullet passes by you and you are on the verge of death? It’s dangerous, so please go back immediately. You will be able to hear about the subsequent results in the news.”
“Umm… … .”
Since nothing was wrong, there was no one who could refute it.
To be honest, they didn’t want to remain in such a dangerous place.
Especially since the IS leader is coming?
I felt like running down the hill as quickly as possible.
However, he is just hesitant to answer because of his loyalty to Victor.
Victor realized that fact and said with a smile.
“What Black Scythe said is correct. You shouldn’t be here. It’s too dangerous. Please return to your hometown quickly now before IS comes. “Shouldn’t you take care of the children here too?”
“Hmm, I understand since you said that.”
“Victor, thank you so much for treating and protecting us all these years.”
“no. “I did something.”
“no. “I was able to survive because of Victor.”
“Thank you for saying that. Ah, Mr. Marcus! You said you live in Lagos, right? Could you please look after the children at least until I return? “There are many children who have lost their parents and have nowhere to go.”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. I will take responsibility and return the children to their parents. “I am taking care of children without parents.”
“Thank you, Mr. Marcus. “There are a lot of cars down here, so you can take any one.”
“okay. Let’s meet again alive.”
“Haha, yes.”
“Then we’ll just leave.”
“We will learn about what happened to IS through the news. I hope you get good results… … .”
“Please take care of yourself. everyone.”
“Let’s go, guys.”
14 adults and 10 children began leaving the station.
Ricky, who was glancing back, eventually couldn’t hold back and ran over to Victor’s arms.
“Hehehe, uncle. “Can we meet again?”
“guy. of course. Wait for me at Uncle Marcus’ house. “I’ll come see you right away when I’m done.”
“yes. “You must come.”
Victor patted his head and sent Ricky away.
Ricky, who had looked back several times, was so far away that he was out of sight.
‘Ricky. Get down safely.’
There are a lot of gang members’ cars at the bottom of the hill, so you shouldn’t have any trouble escaping.
Victor looked back at Ryumin and Yamti.
“There is a chance of winning, right?”
“Of course.”
Although Ryumin spoke confidently, Victor could not shake off his anxiety.
Because there was no way the leader of IS would show up with bare hands.
“My profession is an alchemist.”
Victor suddenly took out several vials from his inventory and held them out to Ryumin.
“Take it. “It will help you in battle.”
“Thank you, but I decline. “There’s no need to go this far.”
“Still, increasing your strength even just a little bit… … .”
“Trust me. “If I thought I would be pushed out by ISIS or something like that, I wouldn’t have even started.”
After saying that, Victor had no choice but to put the medicine bottle back.
With a face that couldn’t shake off anxiety.
Ryumin, Yamti, Victor, and Abubakar, now in rags, entered the building and waited for the enemy to appear.
Even until the sun sets and night turns into starry dawn.
I waited and waited, but for some reason, the leader of IS did not appear.
‘Are you sure you’ll go back well?’
Victor was thinking about the people who got tired of waiting and left in a daze.
Tuk-tuk-
I turned my head when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
“You’re here.”
“came?”
When I came to my senses, I heard the sounds of multiple vehicle engines.
I went out of the building and looked down at the hill.
People are getting off one after another from dozens of trucks.
Ryumin turned on the surrounding search skill and looked at the increasing number of red dots.
‘You’ve collected a lot.’
Rumbling – Victor felt cold as he saw the gang members flocking to the station where the group was located.
‘How many people are there in total?’
At least three hundred people were entering the garrison just by sight.
Ryumin instructed Yamti with a nod.
“I’m taking refuge in the building with Victor. “Leave Abubakar outside.”
“Yes, Black Scythe.”
After Yamti took out the hostage he had tied up as instructed, he and Victor closed the door.
Ryumin took the hostage, Abubakar, to a large open space.
Meanwhile, Victor watched the situation from the window.
You can see gang members surrounding Ryu Min.
‘It’s a big deal. There are too many.’
Victor, who had not expected so many people to appear, looked to the side with a thoughtful face.
“Will Black Scythe be okay? There are too many… … .”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “This is frustrating, so I need to learn English or something.”
I looked at Yamti complaining and then looked out the window again.
Almost all of the troops had been mobilized, and countless people surrounded Ryumin.
Jumble-jump-
Among them, a man with a bushy beard came forward.
“Who is the Black Scythe?”
“grow.”
Ryumin, wearing a white mask, spoke confidently.
“You are the black scythe?”
“uh.”
“nice to meet. “I am Abu Ibrahim Ashishami al-Baghdadi, the leader of IS.”
“Is that so?”
“Well, I came just as you said. “Free Abubakar.”
“But you didn’t come alone?”
“When did I say I would come alone?”
“I thought you would come alone since you were holding a subordinate captive.”
“There is only a flower garden in my head. “Did you think I would sacrifice myself to save one of my subordinates?”
“… … .”
“If you had touched IS, you should have been prepared to this extent. “I’m sure you weren’t scared when you saw these troops, right?”
“Are you scared when you see these guys? no way.”
Ryumin chuckled.
Of course, I expected it to come together like this.
“You’re the one who’s scared, not me. Fake Mr. Al-Baghdadi.”
“… … .”
At those words, the other person’s shoulders momentarily flinched.
He didn’t show it, but it was visible.
Feeling embarrassed and confused inside.
Of course, that guy was a double pretending to be al-Baghdadi.
It’s not real.
“If you want to commit fraud, you have to do it while watching people. Are you afraid I called you without even knowing your face? “Did you think that if you rush all your subordinates and appoint a pinch hitter, they will fool you into thinking that’s the case?”
“What nonsense… … .”
“I know you’re hiding behind it all. Don’t wait and come out quickly. “I will listen to whatever you say.”
“What kind of crazy talk are you talking about? I am the leader of IS… … .”
It was then.
“done. “Stop acting!”
A middle-aged man walked forward from the crowd.
Ryumin’s eyes changed when he saw him.
That guy was the real al-Baghdadi, the leader of IS that he remembered.
