Chapter 9
The essence of self-talk.
(3) ========================= 4.
-Can't you give me back to my grandfather right now!? The trailhead ran wild.
Still, a cramped dorm room.
Even ghosts fly in places that are very inhumane for even one person to live in, so there was no blind spot for human rights.
If you're feeling the buzzing of a three-meter giant mosquito, do you understand? "Oh really! I want to give it back, but I can’t return it!”
-You copied it with your skill.
Then you should be able to cancel! Refund, do not know, refund!? What kind of world is it these days, don't even give me a refund! “Because it can’t be canceled!”
I explained how the hinterland was copied.
However, even after listening to the explanation, the ghost came out recklessly.
Send it back to Geomseong or something.
- Heh heh.
Grandpa Marcus! My son! This master has been kidnapped! Your one and only teacher was kidnapped by some idiot! Even this ghost.
I turned upside down in the air and started crying uncontrollably.
- Oh, it's like an ugly disciple.
This is all a tragedy that Marcus ignored and despised his precious Master! I'm afraid I'm like this, so I've always told my sister to take care of my teacher like heaven.
"excuse me···." hit the goal There was no fear of seeing a ghost for the first time in his life.
fear? that's something No matter how frightening a ghost is, if you act so loudly, your head will start to hurt.
“Please, let’s live quietly.
yes?”
- What do you live for? I'm already lost! “Oh, then, let’s die quietly.”
-no.
Have you seen this bastard in the world? I'm still going to die, so I curse the ghost to die one more time.
Neighbors, look at this bastard here! From the very beginning, there is nothing I can't say! "Wow." I opened my mouth.
What? Today was the first time I saw a ghost in my life, but this two-much talker...
No, it was the first time in my life that I had seen Two Puck King Talker.
And now I've come to realize.
He understood why the swordsman kept muttering to himself in the bar.
okay.
Come to think of it now, the swordsman was constantly muttering, but the content of his talk to himself was monotonous.
'Shut up.' 'Don't be noisy.' 'too loud.
I'll take care of it, so leave it alone.' 99% of self-talk is noisy, so shut up.
When viewed from the side, he continued to babble as if he had some sort of mental illness...
“Hey, you deserve to keep muttering.
If a ghost like this is attached..." -Huh? What.
Did you just talk to me before? how old are you now Do you dare to boldly speak in front of a board that is not enough to treat you as an elderly person? "Damn it." Without realizing it, my shoulders sagged.
The future was really dark.
“It’s a country where you have to avoid sword castles for the rest of your life.
No matter what skill you acquire, do such ghosts always appear?”
-Yes? Living away from your grandfather what kind of bullshit is that The mastermind tilted his head.
- There is no hunter as good as Grandpa Marcus.
Even though he's my disciple, he's a real nerd.
Oh yeah.
But don't you ever talk about your grandchildren? He's usually very quiet, but when he talks about little kids, the faucet turns.
“I already know that.”
I sighed.
“There are skills that swordsman has.
what do you call it At any rate, it shows how many murders a person has committed.”
-Ah.
A detective's insight? That's a fucking rubbish skill.
The mastermind immediately responded.
indeed.
Is the official name of the Kill Count skill [Detective's Insight]? The ghost seemed to know all the swordsman skills one after another.
- What is that? It's only useless to find out if the opponent is an assassin or not.
Besides, just because you have a lot of kills doesn't guarantee you're an assassin.
“No.
4091.”
-Well? “The kill count floating above my head.
4091.”
The behind-the-scenes look was ridiculous.
You frowned.
For some reason, ghosts have more colorful expressions than live ones.
-what.
this guy Are you crazy? “I think I might become a real madman if I spend one more day with you.
It’s so noisy.”
-no···.
You are a complete beginner.
The mastermind's face turned a little serious.
- Beginners among beginners.
As you can see, I don't think I learned how to come.
How did he kill 4091 people like that? I couldn't have killed that much while attacking the top 99 floors in my lifetime.
“Because I didn’t kill 4091 people.”
-under? I shrugged.
And each one was explained.
“As for how this happened.
So, in fact, the only thing I really hunted was a very bad guy who would later be called the Flame Emperor...”
that I was murdered by the flame.
It is said that with the help of heavenly luck, he copied the regression skill.
There is no way to get revenge on the flame if it stays the way it is, so...
He decided to return for more than 4000 days.
that the decision was implemented.
-···What? The master who had been listening quietly opened his mouth.
-You've committed suicide over 4000 times? Are you trying to get revenge on him? "Yes." -·········.
The commander-in-chief became quiet.
Previously, he was making an embarrassed expression, but now it is different.
He looked into my face as if thinking deeply about something.
It was so serious that I wondered if it was the ghost that was talking so much that the two-pyeong jjok room shook.
-Hey.
After breaking the long silence, the mastermind opened his mouth.
“What?”
- What's your name? “I’m Gongja Kim.”
The mastermind groaned, "Ummm," he said.
- Confucius.
Why did you choose Grandpa Marcus? "Yes?" -Why did you decide to copy Grandpa's skills as soon as you finish taking revenge on the guy called the plague? “Isn’t that… it’s natural.”
I trembled.
The intent of the question was not understood.
“He’s a hunter who is ranked number one in this era.
The strongest person has to have the skills first.”
- So you get stronger as quickly as possible? "Yep." -···The reason why I give honest answers to the questions I ask is because there is no risk of information leaking anyway.
Because it says on the skill card that no one can recognize me except you.
It's completely safe.
right? "What.
Absolutely." Silence subsided again in the single room.
-Hmm.
bouncy fluff.
The spirit behind me roamed the air around me.
He went to the left and glanced at my face, went to the right and measured my height.
With a very serious face.
I frowned, wondering what kind of monstrous thing this was.
- Let's see.
Well.
If your physique is trimmed, it won't be too bad.
Evil's tenacity is also great.
There is also a moderate sense of improvement.
I know how to be sane and roll my head...
Write, indeed.
ugh.
If it's this kind of lumber...
The rear man muttered to himself.
'What is he saying now?' As I listened to the conversation, it seemed that this ghost was the master of swordsmanship.
The priests were the masters of self-talk.
- Hey, Gongja Kim.
Whoops.
The mastermind flew in front of my nose and said, "Yes?" - Show me how to catch monsters.
5.
I caught a few miscellaneous mobs.
“Are you okay now?”
I'm stuck in a side room anyway and there's nothing to do.
As soon as the day dawned, I headed to the hunting ground.
In fact, I had to catch Yoo Su-ha one more time today, because I was killed by Gum-seong and returned to the previous day.
It was necessary to go out in many ways.
-also···.
The mastermind nodded his head.
- My prediction was correct.
“Isn’t that what you expected?”
-Well.
During my lifetime, I was called a swordsman (劍帝).
early morning.
The voice of the mastermind was low in the hunting ground, where no one was walking around yet.
-My hometown is not here.
From your point of view, you can think of it as a different world.
Anyway, the same tower appeared here in my hometown, and I conquered the tower faster than any hunter in the east.
“I wanted something, so I’m proud of myself?”
-OK.
The spirit behind it was fed up.
-What.
In the end, we failed to break through the 100th floor in our world.
Is it written on your card? It was.
+ [Sword Constellation (星座)] Rank: A+ Effect: From another world.
He cleared the Tower of Another World up to the 99th floor, but was frustrated when he reached the 100th floor.
The resentment remained and became the mastermind without being able to pay.
You cannot physically interfere with this world, but you can meddle in the mind of its owner.
Seek advice from his rich experience and amazing skills! ※However, except for the owner, no one can recognize the spirit behind it.
※This skill was copied from Hunter Markus Calenberry.
+ 'If you think about it, it's not a big deal.' Before I returned, Yeomje, who broke through the 40th floor, was revered as a legend.
How about the 99th floor? The ghost in front of me was truly unpredictable.
- If I'm good enough, I know just by looking at it.
How talented is this Hunter.
You can see right away whether it's a hit or a bummer.
So, Gongja Kim, I asked you to show me how to hunt monsters.
"Aha." I smiled bitterly at the words of the background.
“Are you trying to find out if I also have a talent for swordsmanship?”
Why.
Aren't there many stories like this? The story of a person who has been living unaware of his talent until one day, suddenly falls off a cliff or meets a master, and awakens to his true power.
Giyeon (奇緣).
“Tsut.
You are in vain.”
Unfortunately, such luck did not come to me.
“I have no talent for combat.
It's totally crazy, it's crazy.
So let's die and live, we're trying to copy the skills of other hunters.
If I had the talent, I'd be out of the F class right away.
Would you have lived like that?”
The mastermind furrowed his eyebrows.
- What kind of bullshit? you are talented "Yes?" - He has great talent.
what.
It was far from the reaction I expected.
"no way.
joke too.
Are you trying to make fun of me?”
- I'm not joking about this.
The mastermind quietly shook his head.
- Of course, you don't have any martial arts talent.
The action is also difficult.
My physique is also awkward.
As you can see, it will take a long time to realize the auror if you use the usual method.
But regardless of those things, you have one very rare talent.
The look in the background was serious.
-You have no fear of death.
“·················ogue.”
- Just don't.
Surprisingly, none at all.
The mastermind stroked his chin.
-Perhaps over 4000 times, the fear of death must have disappeared by itself.
This is also what I expected.
I don't know about you, but you're completely reckless when it comes to fighting monsters.
I usually save even a little bit for fear of dying or getting hurt, right? But, you don't have it.
"Huh.
Is that also a talent?”
-Of course.
It was an immediate answer.
- Talent is not only innate.
People can awaken their talents one by one in life.
The most difficult talent to create is overcoming the fear of death.
But, you've already mastered that difficulty.
“·················ogue.”
- That's great.
I was a little embarrassed.
No one has ever told me this in my entire life.
I've never even thought of that myself.
It was just that I was so upset that I was treated like an insect by the Flame Emperor, so I jumped over 4000 deaths without thinking back and forth.
to die that's my talent - Let me ask you one thing.
“What?”
- He said he was killed by Grandpa Marcus.
What were your thoughts then? I remembered what happened last time I died.
a few hours have passed yet.
So I was able to vividly recall memories and emotions.
the night sky and the moon.
A blow that was so quiet that no sound could be heard.
“…I thought it was beautiful.”
That was the time.
- Ha ha ha ha ha! Bae Huo-ryeong raised his head high and smiled.
burst into laughter.
The sound of ghosts' laughter was so magnificent that it could be described as crazy (狂笑), and it was enough to fill the plains of dawn where there was no one yet.
After a while, the mastermind stopped laughing.
-fun.
The ghost's eyes twinkled.
-You don't steal skills, you just copy them.
In other words, [Another Me] will be attached to Grandpa Marcus as a mastermind.
Grandpa and you Of the two, who will be more successful as a hunter? I was a little curious.
“·················ogue.”
- I won't help.
constellation of swords.
The ghost, who was called Geomje, who once attacked the tower up to the 99th floor, looked straight at me.
- To the extent that Grandpa Marcus won't get caught.
No, to be much stronger than Grandpa! and held out his hand.
- Let's conquer the tower once! It was the moment I had my partner.
