Episode 171
171. In front of the house.
“brother! here!”
My younger brother, who was waiting in the alley, saw Ryu Min and waved with joy.
“Are you here? Mr. Ryumin?”
It was Yamti who winked at his brother without his knowledge, but Ryumin clicked his tongue and turned his head.
“are you okay? Kindergarten? “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“I got slapped a little bit, but I’m okay.”
“I don’t think it’s a little bit. “Come here.”
When Ryumin touched my chapped cheek, a warm light flowed out.
“uh? I don’t think it hurts anymore. “What did you do?”
“It’s a simple healing skill.”
“Wow, I don’t have to go to the hospital? “It’s effective.”
“Now let’s go home.”
“brother.”
Ryu Min, who was about to move, turned his head when he heard his brother’s call.
“why?”
“Why don’t you say something to me? You can say something like, “What did I say?”, “If I had stayed at home, this wouldn’t have happened,” and now I know how dangerous the player is. “But why aren’t you saying anything?”
“What’s the point of telling you when you already know?”
“what?”
“You felt it too, right? Why it’s dangerous outside. “The player’s fear.”
Ryu Won nodded quietly.
I definitely felt this opportunity.
It’s still a dangerous world to navigate.
“I know that, that’s why I didn’t say anything more. “If I tell you, all I can do is nag you.”
“… … .”
“I am satisfied that you are safe. If something happened to you… … .”
Ryumin turned his head as if he didn’t want to even think about it.
I swallowed the last words in my heart.
“let’s go. to home.”
“huh.”
Ryu Won followed along and looked at Yamti.
He just nods his head as if telling him to go first.
“Brother, why doesn’t Yamti come with you?”
“The house is in the opposite direction. “It will go on its own.”
“Yes, master… … No, Ryu Won. “Go first.”
Yamti waved her hand, but Ryu Won’s eyes kept stepping on her.
“brother. “Can’t we invite Yamti to our house too?”
“why?”
“Well, you’re the one who saved my life, too. I helped you, but I can’t just part ways. I think it makes sense to do something in return… … .”
Actually, it was Yamti who directly saved Ryu Won.
It is understandable to want to treat your lifesaver with a treat.
“But even if you invite me to your house, I don’t have anything to treat you.”
“I know how to cook. I have a lot of time these days, so I’m watching YouTube and practicing cooking. “I bought all the food ingredients at home.”
“Are you going to cook dinner yourself?”
“huh. Yamti, how are you? Would you like to have dinner at my house? “Even though I’m clumsy, I know how to do it to some extent.”
“ah… … really?”
It was touching, but Yamti rolled her eyes and looked at Ryumin’s attention.
I really wanted to go, but I had to get permission from the owner.
Ryumin secretly sighed and spoke dryly.
“okay. Yamti, my younger brother wants to, can you have dinner at my house?”
When permission was given, Yamti’s face lit up.
“great!”

Beep beep beep beep sound
After returning home, Seo A-rin sighed and sat down on the sofa.
My mind was complicated.
It was because a face I had long forgotten came to mind.
‘Hwang Yong-min. I never thought I would see that bastard there… … .’
The last time I saw him was during the 4th round of death.
I haven’t seen it or thought about it since then.
Because I wanted to forget.
Because I was afraid to remember it.
But I never thought we would meet by chance in real life.
‘Only the muscles of the body were different, but the face was the same as that of another world.’
It’s short, but if it’s a bad relationship, it’s a bad relationship.
From the looks of it, the guy seemed to recognize him too.
‘Well, I have the same appearance in this world and in reality… … .’
He recently filmed a public service announcement for the CPF unit, and since he’s a celebrity, there’s no way he wouldn’t be recognized.
‘What brought you to the Four Gods Church? Didn’t you get hit hard by Black Scythe back then?’
Was it just a harsh treatment?
Hwang Yong-min had both his arms cut off and suffered from constant bullying ever since.
Of course, Seo A-rin had no way of knowing how she was bullied.
‘I can’t say that that scoundrel came to the Four Gods Church for a good purpose. He must have come to seek revenge on Black Scythe.’
While snooping around to see if there was a black scythe, he got into a fight with a man he had a grudge against, and when the people around him noticed, he ran away.
Given the circumstances, I had no choice but to think that way.
‘I can’t let any harm come to Black Scythe. I have to get rid of him.’
It is surprising that he survived until the 10th round, but the important thing is that it may become an obstacle in the future.
‘I have to kill him.’
Of course, the black scythe saved his life, but considering that he would be disturbed in the future, it was better to kill him.
I was confident.
‘Because the person I was then and the person I am now are completely different people.’
After being stabbed by fellow actors she trusted and receiving advice from Black Scythe not to trust people, Seo Ah-rin was reborn.
I won’t just suffer anymore.
I will strike first before I get hit.
I was lying on the sofa looking at the ceiling with that thought in mind when a face suddenly appeared.
It was Ahn Sang-cheol.
“Oh, what a surprise!”
“I’m surprised?”
“Surprise, then! “Don’t you want to play?”
Seo A-rin, annoyed, raised her upper body.
I thought there was no one there because it was quiet, but it seems like they came in on their own.
“You didn’t know I was there? “You would have known when you saw the shoes.”
“I didn’t have time to check that.”
“why? “What happened?”
Seo A-rin hesitated to answer Ahn Sang-cheol’s question for a moment.
‘Can I trust the bodyguard?’
This is because I became more wary after receiving advice from Black Scythe.
‘CEO Ma can abandon me at any time. Needless to say, the bodyguard is CEO Ma’s hands and feet.’
Ma Gyeong-rok and Ahn Sang-cheol should be considered one set.
They are equally incredible people.
“why? “What’s going on that’s holding you back?”
“… … .”
Although she didn’t want to give out information, Seo A-rin eventually decided to speak up.
Still, isn’t this a person who has gone through the crisis of death together with you?
“Do you remember Hwang Yong-min?”
“If it’s Hwang Yong-min… … “Did you chase me out of the forest during the second round?”
“yes. “I met that person by chance today.”
“That bastard was still alive?”
Since I couldn’t see it and didn’t pay attention to it during the mission, Ahn Sang-cheol didn’t know about it.
“It was alive.”
“He’s a pretty tough guy. “I thought a guy like that would be eliminated before the 10th round.”
“My personality was the same as then and now. “They beat the disabled person to death.”
“… … .”
Ahn Sang-cheol had a surprised expression, but the reason he was surprised was none other than the look in Seo A-rin’s eyes.
‘what? ‘Living?’
Unlike her pretty face, I can feel the coolness in her eyes.
“I have to kill him.”
“… … .”
“That guy will only become a nuisance if you leave him alone. “We have to kill Hwang Yong-min.”
Ahn Sang-cheol just blinked in surprise at those cold words.
‘Is this the Seo Ah-rin I knew?’
Even in the second round, Seo Ah-rin was asking if it was necessary to kill her.
Seo Ah-rin forgot that she was almost raped and worried about the life and death of her assailant like a saint.
‘But it has changed like this?’
Although I’ve been through a lot of hardships before birth, this is the first time I’ve seen such a noticeable change.
‘Was there some reason?’
Only Black Scythe and Seo A-rin know about the betrayal by the actors.
It was natural for Ahn Sang-cheol to be puzzled.
“Good. “It would be clean and better to kill him like Arin said.”
“Yes?”
“But it was Black Scythe who saved Hwang Yong-min’s life at that time. “The Prophet also put a nail in his head telling us not to pursue Hwang Yong-min any more.”
“The Prophet… … ?”
Seo A-rin asked in confusion.
“What is the reason?”
“I told the CEO that I would be in big trouble if I touched Hwang Yong-min.”
“Is that all?”
“yes. “They said they couldn’t reveal the details.”
“… … .”
It was a fact that Seo A-rin did not know.
‘Why did the Prophet protect Hwang Yong-min?’
It was strange, but it was inevitable.
‘If the Prophet said that, there must be a reason. ‘I have no choice but to fold.’
Seo A-rin decided to stop seeking revenge.
“there’s nothing we can do. “I hope he doesn’t get in my way in the future.”
“Do not worry. “It looks like he’s been lucky enough to survive so far, but that guy will die soon.”
“I’m worried that taking revenge on Black Scythe will cause more damage than me.”
‘Look at this?’
Ahn Sang-cheol rolled his eyes.
I knew to some extent that I had a crush on Black Scythe, but I never thought I would be so openly worried.
A strange feeling of jealousy arose, but Ahn Sang-cheol smiled coolly and said.
“You know what? “The most useless worry in the world is worrying about the black scythe.”
“Bodyguard. Does that mean I can’t worry as much as I want? Black Scythe is also a person. “It could become dangerous at any time.”
“… … .”
It’s like running for your life because of something that was said as a joke.
Ahn Sang-cheol was speechless for a while.
At that time, Seo A-rin looked into the sky and tilted her head.
It looks like he is reading a message.
“Why are you doing this? Mr. Arin?”
“I searched for Hwang Yong-min to track him down just in case, but it was a bit strange.”
“What are you saying is strange?”
“It says the person doesn’t exist.”
“yes?”
Tracking is a skill that can be used in real life if you know faces and names.
If the conditions are met, there is no way it cannot be tracked.
“Is the person Arin saw Hwang Yongmin?”
“sure.”
“I didn’t see it wrong, did I?”
“It can’t be. Do you think I have such a bad memory? “It was definitely Hwang Yong-min, that person.”
“Then your name isn’t Hwang Yong-min?”
“If it is a pseudonym, it must be stated that the face and name do not match. But it turns out that the person does not exist at all… … .”
“Hmm. “That’s right.”
Even to Ahn Sang-cheol, it was definitely strange.
“wait a minute. “I’ll try someone else.”
Seo A-rin searched for Hong Seon-ah just in case.
And then I realized.
[This person does not exist.]
“ah.”
The message didn’t lie.
“Why are you doing this, Mr. Arin?”
“I tried tracing the name of the dead person just in case, but it turns out that it doesn’t exist.”
“Is that true? “That means Hwang Yong-min is already dead.”
“uh… … ? “I see.”
“Then who is the person that Arin saw? “Have you seen a ghost?”
“… … .”
Seo A-rin was unable to continue speaking due to the creepy feeling she had.
‘My, what on earth did I see?’
Thinking it was a ghost, goosebumps appeared on my forearms.
“Okay, I’ll try searching for someone else. “Well, it may be broken.”
The system is broken.
It was ridiculous, but if I didn’t do this, I would really have seen a ghost.
‘Who should I look for? Ah, I’ll have to try the Prophet.’
Seo A-rin recalled Ryu Min’s face and called his name.
[The face and name match. Tracks the location of the target.]
[The location of the target ‘Ryu Min’ has been discovered.]
[It is currently 125 meters away.]
[To track the target, follow the arrows in front of you.]
“I tried to think of the Prophet, but I was traced. “You’re pretty close by.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Seeing the distance getting shorter, I guess he’s coming home.”
“Then shall we ask the Prophet? “Is Hwang Yong-min really dead?”
“Do you think the Prophet knows that?”
“He is the one who told me not to touch Hwang Yong-min in the first place, so he may know whether he is alive or dead.”
“great.”
The two went out of the house and went downstairs using the stairs.
If you wait in front of Ryumin’s house, he will arrive.
Ding-
When the elevator door opened, the two were able to meet Ryumin as expected.
“Hello, Mr. Ryumin.”
“hmm? Actor Seo? Director Ahn?”
I was also able to see my younger brother, Ryu Won.
However, there was a woman between them whom they had not seen before.
Seo A-rin looked at Yamti and opened her eyes.
‘It looks kind of familiar… … ‘Where did you see it?’
Seo A-rin, who was thinking hard, soon remembered something.
“Da, you…” … .”
It was the woman who was said to be Black Scythe’s real-life acquaintance.
