Chapter 177 – 177. A Pseudo-Religious Group That Creates Awakened People…? [Pseudo-Religion][2]
“Hmm… Religion… No, pseudo-religion… Scary… Dangerous…”
Touch… Touch…
Kim Tae-sik was half excited and half excited to see what the Idiapocalypse expert would say.
He touched his chin and made a serious expression.
That seemed to be largely agreed upon.
“Did you say that being ignorant and having strong beliefs is the most dangerous thing? That’s exactly what happens when you’re obsessed with a pseudo-religion.”
“Basically, the more it is a cult, the more exclusive and closed it is, so it naturally becomes ignorant. That is why the pseudo-religious system is maintained.”
“Site of group gaslighting… I get goosebumps just thinking about it…”
Kim Tae-sik’s expression not only seemed to agree with most of the points but also seemed quite interested in the current topic.
Kim Tae-sik in his previous life was basically a corner-of-the-room, key-pod-warrior character.
He was interested in materials with strong gasoline properties.
The occult and pseudo-religion could not escape the radar of an aggressor named Kim Tae-sik.
So he had quite deep insight.
“And the basis of such a pseudo-religion is money and power, so it must be very attractive to a guy like Seo Han-soo…”
And the reason Kim Tae-sik fell in love with the pseudo-religion keyword from the corner of the room was not simply because of his needs as an aggro master.
A being who can step on the tail any day of the week in this Kang Seok-gu incident,
This is because Seo Han-soo was related to the keyword pseudo-religion.
[Harem Warrior: Seo Han-soo originally said that he was involved in a cult related to a cult just before the apocalypse?]
[Kim Tae-sik follower: Yes. First of all, I knew that too. I heard this from Junho because he knows Seo Hansoo more than I do.]
Kim Tae-sik, who was thinking so intently, sent a text message to Jang Man-cheol to confirm whether the information he had received was accurate.
Kim Tae-sik, who heard the general situation from Kang Seok-gu, thought that the primary keyword was Seo Han-soo.
However, since Kang Seok-gu had to dive immediately afterwards, he did not have time to ask in detail.
However, Kang Seok-gu hinted that Jang Man-cheol and Kim Jun-ho would know enough.
So, during the after-mission party, Kim Tae-sik asked Jang Man-cheol about Seo Han-soo.
[Nano Warrior: Pseudo-religion is scary… But are there any noticeable cases of pseudo-religion in the current situation?]
However, the information so far is ultimately only Seo Han-soo’s actions before the apocalypse.
Kim Tae-sik bowed down and asked Internet wise men for guidance in order to find information that could erase his connection to him after the apocalypse.
[Apocalypse expert: Oh… Our nano warrior knows quite a lot of information. Isn’t it surprising?]
[Nano Warrior: haha! Because I have a somewhat single-minded nature. Recently, I was only digging into awakening and survival camps.]
[Apocalypse expert: However, if you think about it, the pseudo-religions of the apocalypse situation are not completely separate from the awakened people. Anyway, if you explain the story, it’s true, Nano Warrior.]
As expected, the warm-hearted scholars did not ignore the foolish sentient being’s thirst for learning.
[Apocalypse expert: Usually, there are two ways to do this, Nano Warrior. For cases in which existing pseudo-religions are fused in an apocalypse situation and become pseudo-religious in relation to awakening abilities.]
[Apocalypse expert: The former is that the current situation is God’s judgment, somehow~ or God’s revelation for a new world, etc.]
[Apocalypse expert: To what extent do you expect the latter? It’s like serving the awakened or following someone who can create an awakened.]
[I somehow survived: That is correct. You can roughly understand it like that.]
[Cooljjin: ㅇㅇ I think that’s roughly correct?]
[If you touch it, you will poop: 22222222222222.]
The specialty of online wise men would be to pick up on even small things and build their self-esteem.
However, given the unity and acceptance, it seemed like a fairly generalized thesis.
[Nano Warrior: Hmm… I see… But are there a lot of actual cases that are so specifically divided?]
Kim Tae-sik also felt this, so he asked about specific cases that were most important from his perspective.
It may be something to block and embrace, but in any case, if we dig into the plausible pseudo-religion first, I think Seo Han-soo will be caught.
[Apocalypse expert: There is. But to be honest, I only heard about the actual case as a side note.]
[Jjonekuljin: That’s something that can’t be helped. If a pseudo-religion is really involved, it can be seen as a disaster. Can I find information there? Either you belong there or you can sufficiently handle the pressure there.]
But, as expected, there were weak corner-room experts on the scene.
When I started talking about actual cases, I started to withdraw little by little.
At least this can be said to be a conscientious behavior.
[Apocalypse expert: But I can guarantee that most of those words are stories I heard from passers-by.]
[Apocalypse expert: If you are a swearer, you will give me a cool answer. I haven’t seen you for a few days, you curser.]
But wherever you go, there is truth.
Although he didn’t say it directly, a passing curser implicitly spread word of mouth that he was likely an awakened person.
Also, a passing gossip who always asked for quality information suddenly became a big name online.
‘Hmm… Actually, I also came in to ask for some information I had been putting off from a passing cursor…’
When the story about a passing swearer came up, Kim Tae-sik lost his appetite.
One of the first things he does after going on an external expedition is having secret sex with Yeon Yeon-hee.
And because it is begging for the latest information from a passing cursor.
‘Usually, if you’re like this, you’ll talk to me first, but you haven’t seen me in a few days… Is something wrong…?’
A passing cursor came back after Kim Tae-sik had dealt with the skeleton problem and logged into the community, but he could not see it even though almost four days had passed.
The moment Kim Tae-sik was worried about his online friend passing by a swearer.
[A passer-by (in ear): Nano Warrior, are you busy…?]
A passerby whispered to me.
“Ohhhhh, a passerby who was passing by appears!!!!”
ㅡDa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!!!
Kim Tae-sik goes berserk with the appearance of the person he has been waiting for,
That joy was sublimated into rapid typing.
“Huh…?”
Stop!
Taesik Kim was about to press enter when he stopped.
“The atmosphere is very different from usual, isn’t it? I don’t usually whisper like that. “It’s refreshing…”
It was a knock that was not typical of a passing cursor.
The swearer who was passing by also treated Kim Tae-sik quite rudely after he realized that he was a loser.
But I am very cautious now.
[Nano Warrior (ear): Of course~ I was waiting for Nano Warrior. For the first time in a while, I want to talk boldly about the current situation.]
So Kim Tae-sik, who was trying to play a trick, answered in a dignified manner.
[Nano Warrior (ear): But what’s going on? You haven’t seen me for a few days and something is bugging me?]
Kim Tae-sik, who was convinced that something was up with the passing swearer, thought it would be a good idea to open the gun first.
[Passing by: Cursor (in ear): Ah… Is it noticeable…?]
[Nano Warrior (ear): It’s better a little. Haha!!]
As expected, Taesik Kim, who had been trained as a keyboard warrior for many years, had the right instinct.
With that satisfaction, Kim Tae-sik eventually couldn’t hold back and fired his punsu reaction.
[Nano Warrior (ear): Tell me, I will listen to you if I can. Honestly, there are limitations due to the situation, but hehe!]
If I were to pick the person who helped me the most in my reincarnation other than Yeon Yeon-hee, Jo Yu-jin, and Jang Man-cheol, it would definitely be a passing cursor.
He is an online friend whose face I don’t know, but Kim Tae-sik wants to do what he can.
[A passing cursor (in ear): No, this is a very personal matter… Or, if I put it that way, it’s a bit like that, it’s a serious family matter…]
However, the topic was quite personal.
‘It’s a family affair… It’s quite unexpected…?’
Kim Tae-sik was confused because it was a topic that was far from the stories we had exchanged so far.
[Nano Warrior (ear): If you don’t mind, I’m ready to listen. If I may dare to say it, I think you and the curmudgeon are quite capable of such a sad conversation. Haha!]
[Passing by: Cursor (in ear): Thank you for thinking that way. Nano Warrior… Haha]
However, since the online concept is very popular, Kim Tae-sik said that he was not embarrassed at all.
[Passing by: Cursor (in ear): So… In my case, there was a lot of conflict at home, so I moved out alone for a long time, right? To put it harshly, I was almost disowned by my family? That’s how I lived.]
The swearer who fell for Gura eventually started talking.
[Passing by: Cursor (in ear): Now I thought we could just go our separate ways without picking on who is right or wrong. I worked hard with that mindset.]
It seemed like he had kept the curse in his mind for a long time.
When I started speaking, the words came out like they were pouring out.
‘During the conversation, I felt like I didn’t have any family around me… But I guess I’m in a disowned state… I wonder if it’s too much to ask for specific details…?’
‘Let’s listen a little more… I’m sure it will give you a clue…’
Although his motivation was somewhat vague, Kim Tae-sik listened intently.
[A passer-by (in ear): But… How did you know my contact information and called me a few days ago from my family?]
[Nano Warrior (ear): Oh? In this zombie apocalypse?]
[Passing by: Cursor (in ear): Yes. Because he is a person well-versed in that kind of thing.]
Meanwhile, circumstances emerged that could roughly infer the situation of the swearer’s family.
‘It looks like they are people you can find right away if you dive… How can I say it…? A vibrant family? It’s no joke to see cursing people flying around in these times.’
Taesik Kim managed to purify and define the information he had just collected.
[A passerby (in ear): If it weren’t for this crisis, I would have just quit… Ha… I really promised myself never to get involved again in my life, but I ended up getting it because I was worried about my family.]
[Nano Warrior (ear): Ah…]
Traces of concern were evident in the swear words, and Kim Tae-sik sympathized with them as if he was sighing.
‘Hmm… Looks like Nuyangs didn’t do anything wrong there or anything…’
If the family member who made the call had told the truth, the abuser would not have had any concerns.
I think I would have just ignored it and hung up right away, or swore and hung up.
Even the curmudgeon would have anticipated such a situation and answered the phone.
However, Kim Tae-sik guessed that contrary to the cursor’s initial expectations, it was an okay call.
[A passer-by (in ear): You were acting like an outlaw, got stabbed in the back, got caught by the owner, and came back to life? As things turned out, there were a lot of things I looked back on. I can’t give in to other people because of my idiotic behavior, and I live by doing such things even in these times.]
The cursor mentioned the absurdity of what life would be like in such a lawless world.
“…Huh…?”
Because it was such a common occurrence, Kim Tae-sik somehow felt a sense of déjà vu.
