──────────────

-Elancio: Real-time World War I entry lol.

-Akashiu: Real time huh?

-Romasio: Hey, we’re still in BC.

-Pastor Siu: Jesus was not born, so how can it be in BC?

-Romasio: It’s my heart.

-Pastor Siu: But then you can see Jesus right under your nose? I’m so f*cking jealous…

-Romasio: I don’t know. There may be no Jesus in this world, or even if there is, the Jesus of this world may be different from the Jesus of reality.

-Shaolin Siu: I want to intuit Buddha.

-Pastor Siwoo: In your religion, anyone can become a Buddha.

-Shaolin Siu: No, I want to intuit Sakyamuni, not just Buddha.

-Pastor Siu: Well, I’m curious too. Is there anyone here who would like to intuit Muhammad?

-Romasio: Is there any?

-Pastor Siwoo: hahahaha

.

.

-Poroshiu: I roughly understood what Scarlet Siu said. If you do that, things will go smoothly until the case is resolved.

-Forosio: But what should I do to stick next to the main character?

-Forosio: If you want to go near the main story, you have to go with the main character.

-Forosio: @ Prophecy Give me a tip

-Yehan Si-woo: Simple. All you have to do is look suspicious.

-Forosio: ? Then wouldn’t they just be dragged in and interrogated?

-Ye Yeon Si-woo: No, not. You don’t just have to win, you just have to win.

-Ye Yeon Si-woo: It makes me wonder where that bastard will end up.

“I’m a detective…”

The suspicion in Isabelle’s eyes deepened.

Among the detectives she knew, there was no one like Si-woo.

“If you want to work as a detective, you’ll have to register with the Bureau of Investigation, right?”

Siwoo opened his mouth exaggeratedly, as if he had finally figured it out.

However, Siwoo’s voice did not sound embarrassed at all.

“Oh, is that so? Then let’s assume he’s a detective assistant. What.”

Siwoo then nodded his head as if he understood.

Isabel’s frown narrowed at that action.

“It’s not something to joke about like that. “Don’t you know that the government strictly prohibits private investigations by individuals?”

“I didn’t receive that money.”

Siwoo grinned.

There was not a single trace of shame in his tone.

“I was just giving ‘advice’ as a passerby. “Isn’t that right?”

“Even so, the act of impersonating a detective is-“

“I believe that the just knight will not punish me, a good and upright model citizen, just because I wrote one title wrong.”

Siwoo smiled brightly as he said that, but Isabelle’s expression got even worse.

Is it because she looks at Si-woo with her colored glasses on? To her eyes, Siwoo’s smile did not look innocent at all.

Isabel suddenly thought of that shamelessI felt like I wanted to catch the man and rob him.

“You never received a model citizen plaque in the first place.”

“I also ran all of Grandpa Hans’ strict errands. So, he is a model citizen.”

“What is that…”

“Now is not the time. “We need to catch the drug dealer quickly.”

Siwoo suddenly made a fuss, pretending to be urgent, grabbed Isabelle’s wrist and dragged her out of the house.

Although Isabel was dumbfounded, she was obediently dragged out by Siwoo’s hand.

In any case, Si-Woo’s escape became impossible the moment he was captured by her, so she decided to do whatever she could to protect him.

“Now, please follow me.”

Siwoo pretended like nothing was wrong and took the lead in front of Isabelle. There was no trace of fear on his back.

But in reality, he was barely able to calm his trembling body by using his inner strength.

A level similar to that of a peak martial arts expert or the 7th circle of magic. How could one remain calm with an Auror Master, a being comparable to a strategic nuclear weapon, at one’s back?

Just as there are few people who want to be next to a lion no matter how gentle it is, Siwoo also did not want to walk this tightrope next to her.

I could only believe in the description in the novel and its righteous character.

“Where are we going?”

“I’m going to meet an intelligence dealer to find out the location of the drug dealer.”

“How did you know the location on the information?”

“Every good citizen knows this.”

“…”

Isabel had the urge to tackle him, but she held back and followed Siwoo.

Si-Woo went through the twisted alleys like a maze and made his way to a dark place without hesitation. He was so confident that he was suspicious of finding the right path.

It was the power of the map posted in the chat room, but in Isabel’s eyes, it was clearly a skill that had been used many times. In her mind, Siwoo was already a regular customer at the information shop.

Siwoo was walking down an old back alley and stopped in front of a shabby wooden door. Isabel raised the tension behind Siwoo. She was confident that she wouldn’t die, but if she wanted to interrogate Si-woo later, Si-woo’s life would have to be preserved.

Siwoo knocked on the door with a specific beat.

Knock Knock Knock

Just when Isabelle was wondering if it was her secret alley, Siwoo sang earnestly.

“Do you wanna build a snowman~”

“Get out before I kill you!”

A woman’s harsh yelling was heard from inside the door. In another world, it was a song that boasted a total of over 400 million views, but in this world it was of no use.

Siwoo’s shoulders slumped. He lowered his head and turned his back helplessly to the door.

“Okay bye…”

Siwoo trudged on and then turned around again. His body slowly straightened out.

Siwoo opened his fist. A blue light formed on his palm as he aimed at the door.

Magic Missile.

“I said let’s build a snowman, you bastard!”

Kwaang-

A gloomy woman could be seen behind the door that was split in half. She was a woman with brown hair and brown eyes, her face shadowed by her hood.

She looked at Si-woo and was about to point in anger, but then saw Isabel behind him.I turned pale when I saw it.

Siwoo entered her house without the slightest fear. I didn’t pay any attention to the female security guard at the entrance.

His attitude was truly like that of a house guard.

“The world’s strongest knight… What’s going on in these back alleys…”

Just as Siwoo was about to answer the question in her timid voice, Isabelle opened her mouth.

“There is room for correction in your words. Although the empire has fallen, my heart is still in it, and I am still its citizen. So, I am not a knight of the kingdom, but just a prisoner.”

I was moved by Si-woo’s expression after actually hearing the lines he had read so tiresomely in novels.

Not one to miss it, Isabel quietly added her hypothesis that Siu might have something to do with the Empire.

As soon as Isabelle finished speaking, Siwoo started talking as if she were helpful.

“What is going on? “To catch criminals by collaborating with model citizens like me.”

“… Don’t you think model citizens these days break down other people’s doors at will?”

“Shoori. “It was so dirty I thought it was trash and not a door.”

Blood appeared on Jeong Bo-sang’s forehead, but Si-woo paid no attention and continued to say what he wanted to say.

“But honestly, isn’t this concept too old-fashioned? It doesn’t seem like there’s much to worry about in a gloomy back alley, does it? “Why don’t we just spread out here and beg instead?”

“… “What is your business?”

“What?”

“f*ck you, so what’s your business?”

At those words, Siwoo sat down on the chair across from the intelligence officer, put his elbows on the desk, and slowly clasped his hands.

As the atmosphere suddenly became more serious, the intelligence officer’s face became expressionless again.

“I want to know the location of the drug dealer that Mr. Bruno dealt with.”

“He’s a drug dealer…”

“Do you know?”

“Of course. “But I need to give you some money.”

Jeong Bo-sang curled his thumb and index finger.

Isabel frowned at that blatant gesture and came out.

“Depending on the legal interpretation of the kingdom’s laws, you probably don’t know that aiding and abetting a crime can be a crime, right?”

“Abetting. “I’m just an information dealer who doesn’t know anything.”

“Didn’t you just say you know the location of the drug dealer?”

“Is that so? Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t… “I think you’ll understand if I give you money?”

Information Sang combed her hair and smiled hatefully.

Just as Isabel was about to take another step forward, Siwoo blocked her.

“No, sir. “You shouldn’t treat these types of people like that.”

“Then how…” … Uh?”

Siwoo stood up and picked up the chair he was sitting on. Jeong Jeong-sang raised his white arms in an unusual manner.

And a chair shot!

“Ouch! Evil!”

“Quickly find out where the drug dealer is!”

Even while being hit with a chair, the information merchant kept his mouth open.

“Evil! He said he was a model citizen! “Is it okay for a model citizen to be like this?!”

“You idiot, don’t you know that?”

Si-Woo kicked the table and knocked down Jeong Bo-Sang.

Siwoo, who took up the mount stance, shouted.

“Because I am a model citizen!”

Puck!

“Everything I do!”

Puck!

“This is exemplary behavior! Do you understand?”

Puck!

Isabelle, who was watching from behind, touched her forehead.

In her opinion, the information merchant was a thousand times more exemplary than Siwoo…

“aaah! Surrender! Surrender! I’ll tell you! “I’m telling you!”

The beating stopped only when the intelligence officer’s real screams were heard.

The information merchant, who had been beaten for nearly ten minutes, looked in tatters. On the other hand, Siwoo, who had been beaten for ten minutes, did not have any trouble breathing.

Isabel’s suspicions deepened further.

Jeong Bo-sang finally caught his breath and staggered to a chair. Then she motioned to the ax-wielding guard to fetch her old wooden board. What was drawn on the wooden board was a map of the back alley.

Just having their own map was enough to say that they were no strangers, but the map was very clumsy compared to the one made by Siwoo. Due to a lack of drawing skills, many places were vaguely sketched with symbols, and crucially, the scale was not maintained properly, making it difficult to see the distances properly.

Suddenly, Si-Woo wanted to speak in an obnoxious way like Cheon-Ma Si-Woo and ridicule him for being a poorer citizen than a model citizen when it comes to information, but he held back. It was surprisingly something that required superhuman patience.

The information merchant spoke carefully.

“Can you read the map?”

In the end, I couldn’t stand those words.

“Let’s find out everything. Although I feel a bit dizzy due to my limited skills. But why was the map drawn like that? Even if a child drew it, he would draw it better than this. Is not it? “Huh~”

Jeong Bo-sang seemed to have the urge to kill and clenched and unclenched his fist, but in the end, he held back without showing it on his face.

Isabel wanted to give the information merchant a model citizen plaque.

“Then do you know what this symbol is?”

“This is the headquarters of the Serun faction, right?”

“Then what about here and here?”

“This is Junket’s office, and this is where counterfeit coins are made.”

“… “How can you be a model citizen if you know all the codes to the back alleys?”

“What?”

“Nothing.”

Jeong Bo-sang smiled.

He knows all the codes of the back alleys, has unidentified physical abilities, and is a man with the information power to find him here even without a referral.

Considering that I had never heard any information about the man in front of me before, the man in front of me was nothing short of my natural enemy when it came to information.

The man in front of me was located in the gap between the information flowing in all things. She felt afraid at the sight of the man who was like a black hole of information.

“The drug dealer you are looking for operates here, so if he lurks around here, you will be able to catch him.”

“Okay, okay. “It would be better for both of us if we let you know this early.”

Jeong Bo-sang spoke in a voice that was greatly suppressed by Si-woo’s boisterous laughter.

“Now go. “I hope I never see you again.”

“Bye. I’ll come hit you again next time. “Don’t go around getting hit on by someone else while I’m away.”

“What is that…”

“Now, knight. Let’s go!”

Bang-

Siwoo broke even the half of her door and left.

InformationSang laughed as he looked at the completely empty door.

He was an unknown man. He was a reckless man.

But why?

Why do I feel this way?

“Are you okay?”

The security guard, who had been unable to move throughout the conversation, approached and examined her appearance.

She threw up her hand.

“Are you okay. Although this is my first time… As long as the driver was nearby, it must have been a natural disaster. “I’m lucky that it ended like this.”

“Shall we prepare to move to another location?”

Just as she was nodding her head, saying of course, she remembered Siwoo’s words she had heard earlier.

And without knowing why.

She shook her head.

“No, I don’t think there’s any need to move it.”

“All right.”

The information merchant fell down on her desk, feeling satisfied with the bodyguard who agreed without question.

Siwoo’s words that he would come to hit her again next time continued to linger in her darkness.
