Chapter 47: Who Shall We Kill (2)
It seemed that Ryu Min’s arguments had an effect, as murmurs of uncertainty arose.
“We can’t just remain idle like this. Wouldn’t it be better to do something, as Black Scythe suggested?”
“What do you propose? Are you suggesting idle chitchat?”
“Why do you respond with such sarcasm? I’m suggesting that we discuss and plan our next move.”
“What can we do? Let’s grab one another and fight. Or we could have a fair tournament.”
“What fairness is there in fighting and killing each other? And a tournament? Are we here for a leisurely tour?”
“What did you say?”
The murmurs grew louder as the conversation became heated.
Amidst the unfolding debate, Seo Arin glanced at An Sang-cheol.
“W-What should we do? Bodyguard-nim? Should we really kill someone, as Black Scythe suggested?”
“Of course, we should kill. Otherwise, we’ll be the ones to die. What significance does a stranger’s life hold?”
“…”
At that moment, An Sang-cheol seemed unfamiliar to Seo Arin.
After all, it wasn’t the role of a manager to discuss such matters of life and death.
“I fully agree with Black Scythe’s arguments. Arin, it would be best for you to brace yourself. Murder is not a pleasant experience.”
“It sounds like you’re speaking from personal experience.”
“…That couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s just speculation on my part.”
Seo Arin didn’t miss the fleeting moment of hesitation from An Sang-cheol.
“So, who should we kill?”
“Well, let’s gauge the atmosphere and gradually make that decision. Besides, people are already debating that topic.”
As Seo Arin followed An Sang-cheol’s gaze, she saw people engaged in passionate discussions.
“Instead of idle talk, let’s determine whom to kill!”
“Who should we kill?”
“The murderers! Let’s focus on eliminating those whose nicknames have turned red!”
“Why are you the one deciding that?”
“Life is precious! Even if they’re murderers, we shouldn’t become killers ourselves.”
“That’s right! By killing, we become no different from them!”
Opposing opinions emerged from various corners.
Some players caught on to Black Scythe’s subtle glances.
“Are you suggesting we kill Black Scythe?”
“Black Scythe? Are you out of your mind?”
“How are we supposed to kill someone at Level 30?”
“Even if we all attack, we won’t be able to kill them, will we?”
“Quiet down! What if Black Scythe hears us…”
‘They’re so loud. I can hear every word.’
Ryu Min, who had been observing, couldn’t help but curl his lips in a smug smirk.
A few people hastily turned their heads, feeling the intensity of his sharp gaze.
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of killing anyone just yet.”
He would refrain from stepping forward until the situation took a dramatic turn.
Suddenly initiating senseless slaughter would only have a negative impact.
“There’s no need to act impulsively when we know that chaos will ensue on its own. We just have to wait for the right moment.”
As Ryu Min patiently waited, the debate reached its boiling point.
“Then what should we do? If I want to live, does someone else have to die?”
“Instead of engaging in endless arguments, let’s agree to eliminate the criminals!”
“But how do we differentiate the criminals? Are we going to ask people to raise their hands if they have a criminal record? That’s a pretty absurd suggestion.”
“For f***’s sake, stop the sarcasm! If you have an opinion, speak up, you worthless piece of s***!”
“What? This crazy bastard is spouting nonsense! Do I look easygoing just because I’m a woman? You motherf*****! Why don’t you kill me first?”
“Look who’s triggered. When did I ever make sexist comments? You f***** piece of s***!”
The debate quickly escalated into a gender conflict.
“Hey, you two! Instead of just talking, why don’t you settle it with a fight?”
“And who the hell are you, instigating and meddling?”
“These bastards are worse! Sneaky bastards who incite from behind!”
“What? You dog-like scum! Should we just kill them all?”
“If you’re so confident, why don’t you try killing them? You f***** piece of s***!”
“Damn these b*******!”
The air was filled with shouts and profanity, descending into utter chaos.
The atmosphere of the debate had long dissipated.
However…
Despite all the talk of killing or not killing, no one actually took action.
Fear held them back.
The aftermath that would follow being labeled as murderers.
[Time remaining until the end of the round: 02:50:13]
“Soon, it will be 10 minutes since Hwang Yongmin’s death. I should start preparing.”
Ryu Min uncrossed his arms, his gaze fixed on the progress window.
Even though they weren’t fighting as intended…
“No need to worry. Soon enough, without hesitation, they will willingly engage in murder.”
Ryu Min was well aware.
Hwang Yongmin, the person he killed at the beginning, would serve as a trigger.
“Don’t just scream and shout, provide practical opinions… Hey! Are you even listening? Why are you staring off into space?”
The player who was shouting turned his head, following everyone’s gaze.
And like the others, he couldn’t help but be left speechless.
Because Hwang Yongmin, whom they believed to be dead, had miraculously come back to life.
