Return of the Frozen Player 573
white lies (3)
“Return in ten days… … You must have been very busy.”
Gongjuha, who was rubbing her cheeks at the round table in the conference room made of ice, said with a happy face.
Shin Seong-hyeon, who was sitting next to him, responded by turning over the file.
“It must have been such an arduous journey.”
“I’m sorry about something. We were resting comfortably here.”
“… … What are we?”
Shin Seong-hyun’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“I can’t easily hear those words. I was busy. Unlike the ball team leader, I have a job.”
He took on the role of a kind of teleporter, diligently transporting players along with Skaya.
The search and reconnaissance of the surrounding area was the most important thing.
“Eh, if that’s the case, then I’ve done my best.”
The still cold north.
Moreover, the temperature of the castle made of ice was low.
If she hadn’t lit a fire all over the castle once a day, there would have been people getting frostbite.
‘If you light a fire once in the morning, the rest of the time is free… …
However, there is no need to be a master and belittle the merits of subordinates.
He nodded roughly and praised her.
“Yeah, good job. He is also the ball team leader.”
“lol.”
Only then did Gongjuha, who smiled brightly, lower her voice as she looked at someone who suddenly opened her eyes.
“… … Master Son Chae-won has been like that for the past few days.”
“It must be waiting for the Sword Master to contact you.”
A few days ago, the players’ community system started working smoothly again.
It must have been because Diggor killed Prince Digor.
‘But I still can’t seem to reach you.’
It was a fact that anyone could know when looking at Son Chae-won, who has been staring at the message window for several days.
“Did Dukseuni-nim bring information about Geomseong-san?”
“well.”
Shin Seong-hyun replied in a negative voice.
If they kill Kim Woo-joong during the operation
If we met, there would be no reason not to come together.
“We should hope for a safe return.”
“Iknow, right. It’s sad that the hard training trio is broken up like this.”
“Strong training… … trio?”
“Why, on the 6th floor, the three of us did a lot of training while going from zero to zero. Don’t you remember?”
Rather than training, wasn’t it just the two of you torturing yourself?
Recalling the memory of that time, Shin Seong-hyeon smiled bitterly.
‘… … Well, if I come back safely, I’ll be able to hang out with you like that once or twice more.’
It was embarrassing to lose the man I thought of as a rival in this way.
After a moment of thought, he stood up from his seat.
“Looks like you’re here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the meeting room opened and several men and women entered.
Those who were sitting at the same time got up instinctively.
“Please sit comfortably.”
Seo Jun-ho sat down in the empty seat of honor and spoke.
When all the players were seated, he opened his mouth.
“It’s late, but I sincerely congratulate you on the success of the Gulat Raid operation.”
After the small celebration, the story of the turbulent 10 days of the dark unfolded.
As the story progressed, exclamations flowed from here and there.
“Huh, you said you fought the Legion alone?”
“It’s okay to survive, but to go hit the intestinal research institute right there… …
“It’s a perfect way to catch the enemy off guard. Even the Overmind wouldn’t have expected that.”
Defeat Prince Digor there.
Afterwards, there was a sharp point in the part where he rescued Gilberto and immediately joined Mio.
“In that situation, why did you bother to divide the party into two?”
It was Son Chae-won.
Upon receiving the question, Seo Jun-ho spoke calmly.
opened
“I thought it would be inefficient to have that much power scattered around. I also thought that the enemies who lost the research center might be able to attack the base.”
“… … is that so.”
Then when I talked about the deaths of Isaac and Valencia, everyone clapped their hands.
“oh! Those disgusting bastards are finally… …
“The ones who always made me feel uncomfortable in the back of my head are gone.”
“You worked really hard. In a way, that might be the biggest harvest of this journey.”
“I think so too. then… …
The moment Seo Jun-ho was about to finish his story.

The bandaged arm was lifted up.
“Our Master… … How did you get there?”
come up
It was a woman who served as a submaster for another guild.
On her face as she bit her lip
The feeling of resentment was dripping.
It must have been because of the feeling of being in the same space and not being able to do anything at the time the Master died.
Upon receiving the question, a short memory flashed through Seo Jun-ho’s mind.
The reason why Millpage betrayed humanity and joined forces with Mine was simple.
‘I want to live.’
The days when he was a gold plate mercenary, not a mithril plate mercenary.
There was a time when a mercenary corps that had been commissioned to go to Outland suffered a near-destruction failure.
‘The world simply cited Outland’s barren climate and food problems as the cause of failure… …
It wasn’t real.
They fell into a trap set by the Mine Association.
‘at there… …
Millpage had to make a choice.
Or die like his subordinates dying in front of his eyes.
Or stick to them and prolong your life.
“Tell me please. that fool… … What was the end of Millpage?”
A solemn atmosphere permeated the meeting room.
Seo Jun-ho slowly opened his mouth, feeling the curiosity-filled eyes piercing him.
“he is… … I fought against Isaac Debord to the end.”
It’s a lie.
He joined hands with Isaac Debord
all.
“He showed how strong the spirit of the mercenaries of the Empire was.”
He succumbed to a stronger force.
They gave up their pride and prolonged their lives, betraying their comrades on a small scale and humanity on a scale.
“Without his struggles, I wouldn’t have saved Christine Lewis.”
Christine Lewis glanced sideways at Seo Jun-ho’s face.
His expression seemed to be overcome by a deep sense of skepticism.
‘It has to be.’
To join hands with the devil he hates the most, to defend a renegade who betrayed humanity.
Thinking of his position again, Christine closed her eyes.
‘It’s difficult.’
According to the doctrine, lying is a bad deed.
As a believer of the Church of the Sun, he could not agree with his deceitful act.
all.
I just understand it in my head.
That the reason he deceives others is not for his own benefit.
‘I take the guilt upon myself… … It’s hard work even for a hero.’
May God’s mercy be with him on his path ahead.
“… … thank you.”
Tears welling up in her eyes, Kiora lowered her head.
As the solemn atmosphere loosened over time, Shin Seong-hyun opened his mouth.
“Then, can we just prepare for the battle against the transcendentalist?”
“no. After fixing it, we attack the float power plant.”
At that, a question mark floated above the players’ heads.
Shin Seong-hyun represented the atmosphere.
“Is there any particular reason?”
“Yes, this is the first time I am talking about this, but this is also a request from the manager.”
“manager!?”
“That means, Mr. Dusk is on the 7th floor.
Are you saying you met Liza?”
Seo Jun-ho nodded.
“yes. The reason we attacked the radio tower and the reason we hurriedly raided the research center is the same.”
He was the first to tell the story of the Administrator and the three relics.
Then Christine Lewis murmured.
“Seonghwan, holy sword, holy spirit. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but it’s the same as the holy relics recorded in the Bible of the Sun Church.”
“Of course. Because the manager here is Helic.”
“As expected… … yes?”
His head turned around.
“What did you say just now?”
“The manager on the 7th floor said Helic, the sun god.”
“That, like that.
Christine jumped up from her seat and seemed shocked.
Seo Jun-ho took it lightly.
‘That would be surprising. He is the manager of the floor he serves.’
However, the reason he was shocked
It seems to have been in a slightly different place.
“Why!?”
Christine Lewis opened up a sad question.
“I am! But why did the sun god leave you a sacred word?”
“… … I don’t know.”
After replying nonchalantly, Princess Ha added a comment.
“Isn’t it because anyone can see that you are more trustworthy?”
“conflict!”
Christine Lewis, sighing, sat down and prayed with her hands folded.
“God of the sun, this is your lamb, Christine Lewis, praying. please me too… …
“Skaya.”
“okay.”
She understood the words perfectly and snapped her fingers, and Christine’s new model disappeared.
You were teleported to your room
ter.
After getting rid of the noisy interrupter, Seo Jun-ho opened his mouth.
“Then let’s talk more about raiding the float power plant. According to what I read… …
After the rather lengthy briefing, Son Chae-won asked a question.
“It seems quite difficult for us to break through just by listening to the word.”
“you’re right. But I think the reinforcements will solve that part to some extent.”
“Reinforcements?”
“Did Earth say they would send reinforcements again?”
Everyone’s eyes widened at the word, which had never been heard before.
“Oh, not from Earth. The support group I’m talking about… …
The moment Seo Jun-ho was about to speak.
Someone slammed the conference room door open and entered.
“Hey, it’s an enemy raid! The Overmind Corps has invaded!”
“what?”
“The Overmind Corps?”
“Damn it, let’s move!”
The white-faced players hurriedly ran out of the meeting room.
In the conference room that quickly became empty, Shin Sung-hyeon approached and urged.
“Junho, didn’t you hear? It’s an enemy raid.”
“They are.”
” yes?”
“They are our collaborators. It’s not a raid.”
Seo Jun-ho shrugged and stood up.
“I’m leaving. We have to stop it before a fight breaks out.”
Outside the castle, hundreds of Ascendants were standing in the middle of a blizzard.
Seo Jun-ho stood up on top of the wall where the air flow was tense.
“execution.”
“Ah, priest.”
Paik Kun-wu, standing in front of the superminds,
He greeted me with a troubled face.
“I guess you haven’t explained yet?”
“I was just about to do it.”
“Explanation, how did this happen?”
“You said that. Reinforcements are coming.”
“That means… … ?”
“yes.”
Seo Jun-ho nodded and declared.
He hates Transcendence more than anyone else and wants to bite his neck.
strong support group.
“They are the failures of our 784 reinforcements.”
The failed works entered the castle, receiving the players’ anxious eyes and vigilance.
Turtle village chief looked around and opened his mouth.
“Looks like you’re not very welcome. What, is it normal?”
“They will get used to it soon.”
It was natural for players to be wary of them.
They didn’t look much different from those who were fighting for their lives just a short while ago.
Gilberto opened his mouth.
“I will explain that part well, Junho, do your job.”
“thank you.”
Seo Jun-ho, who received a look in his eyes asking him to leave him behind, turned his head.
Two people at the end of the line of sight
I blinked.
“Even if you have something to say… … ?”
“yes.”
Son Chae-won and Shin Sung-hyun.
Seo Jun-ho, who fixed his eyes on the two, opened his mouth.
“Please give the two of you a moment.”
