Chapter 783 – 783. About Death 1
I told him to gather people, but I have no intention of coming forward and saying something.
The people of the Ark know of my existence, but it is better for them not to know what kind of person I am.
It’s not that I stick to mysticism or anything like that.
The more I don’t know what kind of person I am, the safer the ark is, right?
This is also the case.
If he knew everything about me, he wouldn’t have made such a lame plan.
It must have been planned a little more carefully and secretly.
If you decide to do something by hiding, there is no way for me to find out.
Moreover, this matter must be handled as if Manager Jeong, Seung-gyu, and Yoon-seo, who are managers, have resolved it on their own.
If they know that something happened to them, they may become suspicious or distrustful of the manager.
In order to maintain the ark for a long time, trust in the manager must not be damaged.
Therefore, this time, we will change all the balls to ones they have solved.
Director Jeong listens to me and announces the current situation in front of people.
Leaving them behind, I look at Kim Byeong-jun and his 47 accomplices who are lying down.
Hehe. Now I finally have a sample to test various things.
I’ll finally be able to take the skill test that I haven’t been able to take for a while. Hehe.
Write a gate and look through the save list.
Let’s see… Where was it? Ah. Here it is.
As the number of places saved in the save list increases, it is now difficult to know where something is.
Still, I quickly find the place I want and open the gate.
I sneaked in and checked, and it was correct. Good. Then we have to move these guys.
I opened a large gate on the floor where they were.
Guys who rush through the gate at once.
Director Jeong and the people at Ark who were presenting about this incident looked at me in surprise, but I followed them in without paying any attention and closed the gate.
The place where I and 48 other reactionaries came was called Wake Island.
If you draw a straight line between Guam and Hawaii, the island is located in the middle toward Guam.
It was originally a place where a US air force base was located, but on the day the world collapsed, everything disappeared and there was no one there.
An island that is not very large and has adequate facilities for people to live.
More than anything… There are no islands around here.
Looking at the map, the nearest island is about 2,000 kilometers away.
That’s why I came here. Even if you just place a skill-free zone here, it becomes a natural prison.
The test I’m going to do is nothing special. Things I couldn’t do because I didn’t have a test subject.
An experiment on death immunity. To do that.
I’m not really interested in other skills anymore. The only thing I’m curious about is death.
Just justice for it and death immunity.
First, a zone where skill use is not possible was established.
And use area skill nullification on the gathered guys.
Guys who wake up and wake up in a hurry.
They were clearly excited about killing the men and preying on the women on the ark.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in an unfamiliar place.
A desert island that is not only warm from the sun, but also stinging. The desolate surroundings and me standing in front of them.
“Nice to meet you, rebels.”
Only then did they clearly realize their situation.
Some quick-witted guys just lie down on the spot and start begging me.
“Please help me! I was wrong! Please help me!”
A few people saw that and immediately followed suit.
These guys don’t seem to have any pride at all, but in a way, you can see it as a way of getting around.
They could be people with a good head.
But then what? Why did such intelligent people participate in such a foolish act?
Strictly speaking, they haven’t committed any crime yet.
Of course, there is a charge of conspiracy to commit rebellion, so it does not mean that he is not guilty, but he did not harm anyone.
That’s why they have high expectations.
A quick change of attitude and a proactive apology. It looks like he is trying to ask for forgiveness somehow.
“Oh, of course. I will save your life. So you don’t have to be so servile.”
“Yes…?”
There were about fifteen people who knelt down and prayed.
Those guys raise their heads and look at me expectantly.
“You will live here. I will not kill you. Why are you misunderstanding?”
Guys who look like they don’t believe what I’m saying.
But that is true. That’s what I’m going to test.
When the death immunity effect was shared and killed, neither light nor coins came out.
That could be because I am the caster who cast death immunity. So you have to test it.
Aside from killing me with death immunity, I wonder if I don’t come out without light and coins even if I die.
Stand still and use skills on them.
Share the effect. All to 48 people, including leader Kim Byeong-jun.
“Um… This is done for now. Ah, that’s right. Before doing anything, I have to organize what needs to be organized.”
I immediately approached Kim Byeong-jun.
Even though I was just using flight, I ended up standing in front of him as if I was blinking.
The guy whose face was a little disfigured after getting hit a few times while being subdued.
I used charm and stun, but at this level, even Director Jeong and the women in the external team are still very soft.
I took out the machete from the storage.
The only thing I have left is time, and thanks to Aki who is still training hard in swordsmanship, my swordsmanship has improved considerably in the meantime.
The moment the guy was shocked when he saw the machete, I cut off both of his wrists.
Literally in an instant. My movements, which were strengthened with various passives, wouldn’t even be visible to him.
“Aaaaah!”
A guy who stands still and screams when he sees blood gushing from his arm.
Clamp the upper part of the wrist that was cut by the poltergeist to stop the bleeding and immediately use paralysis, healing, and body recovery.
Normally, if both hands were cut off, one could die immediately from excessive bleeding and shock, but the effect and power of the skill are enormous.
The bleeding stops immediately. No one will survive, the wound will heal moderately.
I told you I would cut off my wrist.
Although I punished him for touching Yun-seo and Song-i’s breasts, I have no intention of killing him.
You can’t just kill precious test subjects, right? Even if you kill, you have to kill with meaning.
For now, this guy has been dealt with.
I look at the remaining guys.
In the blink of an eye, they were horrified to see the hands of Kim Byeong-jun, the leader, cut off.
Not only those who fell down at first, but those who were still standing then quickly kneel down.
“Hmm… Let’s see. Now we have to do the first test… Ah! Is there anyone who wants to commit suicide?”
Guys who look dumbfounded at my questions.
But. My question was a little strange.
I expected that there would be no applicants.
No… Of course. Who would do it because they want to die? How did we survive in this world?
Then there is nothing we can do. The only option is to force them to take a numbered ticket.
I’ve been thinking about death alone for quite some time.
First, death can be roughly divided into two categories.
Natural history and accidental death.
It’s a bit funny to say it’s an accidental death, but it’s a word registered in the dictionary.
The opposite of natural death. Dying unexpectedly without being able to fulfill one’s command.
But this definition is a bit complicated.
If I was destined to die, was it a natural death? Or is it a coincidence?
What about traffic accidents? What about disease? What if you get stabbed with a kitchen knife by a seemingly friendly neighbor?
There will be no predetermined scenario for how a person dies.
It’s fate. It’s a really unkind word, isn’t it?
It’s a magic word that turns into an earring if you put it on your ear and a nose ring if you put it on your nose.
So we ignore fate.
After thinking about it for a long time, there is no fixed fate.
If there was such a thing, there would be no need to do something like this, right?
The task of leaving one last person standing. There is no need for this kind of work.
All you have to do is find the one who is destined to remain until the end.
Therefore, natural death and accidental death cannot be established.
So what is the next category? After all, it would be suicide and murder.
This has some credibility.
Heaven’s Gate. Isn’t that right?
Karma for murder. No… It’s a little funny to say it’s karma, but it’s clear that killing others counts.
So, it would apply to skills. The person he killed. Among them, a person who has never killed another person.
Because that kind of person comes down as an angel and kills the person who killed him.
So the first thing I will test is suicide.
That sounds strange. Rather than suicide… I should say that it is not a case of murder.
If someone dies alone without killing someone, will that person also be affected by death immunity and enter the gate of the abyss?
“Okay, I’m going to do the first test now. I won’t be able to get off this island anyway, but if possible, I don’t want to even try. Unless I want to feel like I’d be better off dead.”
The rebels look at me with fearful eyes at my threat.
Tsk. So why do you abandon the peaceful ark life and become greedy? Stupidly.
“From now on… The first test will continue until one person dies, either by suicide, accidental death, starvation… The moment anyone dies, the test will end. Instead…”
The guys who hear my crazy talk look very anxious when I blurt out my words.
This alone is crazy, but you wonder how much longer they’ll keep saying this.
“You must not kill others. That will be the same punishment as running away from the island. You will quickly find out who killed whom. So please do not try. You are my precious material. If you damage it by doing something useless… It’s going to be really sad. You know what I’ll do when I get sad.”
A tired expression. The guys looking at me always have a tired expression.
They said they wouldn’t kill them, but if they listen to what I just said, they must have sensed that what will happen to them in the future will be anything but ordinary.
“Okay then, let’s start now.”
Having said that, I used invisibility.
A deserted island where you can’t use skills. We can’t kill each other.
We have already confirmed that electricity and water are provided unlimitedly even on this uninhabited island.
It’s really amazing. There isn’t much water in the water tank.
Unlimited water comes out of the faucet.
Anyway, since there is water and electricity, you won’t starve to death easily.
Humans can survive for quite a long time just by drinking water, right? Moreover, this is a coral reef island.
Since it is a place with shallow seas, gathering seafood won’t be that difficult.
There is no need to give these guys food.
They’re going to die anyway, so we’ll figure it out on our own.
I want to get an answer right now, but… I have a lot of time.
Besides, honestly, you were a little bored, right?
Of course my life is fun.
A life of having sex with women is bliss.
Because there are seven women with different personalities in Starcheva Mansion alone.
In addition, there are Coins, a bunch of foreign beauties, and Acorns from the Ark.
Right now, there’s Shinyoung, who’s living almost like a newlywed couple, and there’s Jung Soyeon, who’s behaving like a slave.
Lena and Ga-in… Hmm. I don’t know. She said it’s been a while since they let go of her.
Anyway, we ate delicious food, visited historical sites, and restored wonderful buildings that existed in the past…
That kind of life is enjoyable, but only to a certain extent.
It was a life without stimulation.
But with all these good toys coming in, I can’t break them so quickly.
I will be watching for a long, long time. You should test everything that can be tested.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have killed them all like that.
Ugh. I made a mistake. I never thought I would regret this.
Watching Wake Island’s daily life like that.
They adapted to island life faster than expected.
First, although it is a hot island all year round, there is a building with air conditioning where you can escape the heat.
Since it was a place where US military units were located, there were many items that could be used as materials.
Take off your upper body and focus on collecting seafood.
Thanks to this, they are living surprisingly well. There was no one who looked like he was starving to death.
Except for one person.
Kim Byeong-jun, who had both his hands cut off by me.
The guy is dying.
Although he could drink as much water as he wanted, it was difficult for him to gather seafood because he had no hands.
Moreover, the people who came here blamed Kim Byeong-jun for screwing them over.
They’re funny bastards. When was the last time people asked you if you liked it, and only now are you blaming that guy.
That’s why he’s completely ignored.
No one helped him. This is already a small society.
A place where if you help Byeongjun Kim, he too will immediately become a traitor.
That’s why I don’t say anyone secretly gives me food. Now he doesn’t even have the strength left to move.
The guy cowering in the corner of the warehouse is dying.
It looks like it could be done today or tomorrow.
I appeared in front of that guy.
Kim Byeong-jun’s eyes widen as he discovers me even as he is dying.
Now that he can’t even get up and drink water, he struggles to say something with his very dry lips.
However, the voice does not come out, and the mouth shape is also incorrect. I don’t know what you’re saying.
I watch him like that.
A face overshadowed by death. It clearly feels like there isn’t much left.
The guy who was about to die said something loud enough for me to hear.
“Mistake…”
Did you say it was a helium reflection? Gathering your strength before you die?
A word uttered like that. I guess he’s saying that what he did was a mistake.
What do you know? It’s already too late.
Just like that, he disappeared.
Without light or coin. Neatly. As if no one was there.
