CH 185

Shadow party (2).

“I can’t believe I’m starting to return”.

The reaction that The One showed was flipping. At least that’s all I could see in the eyes of Mystery.

Martial King thought that Mystery would crush The One as it was, or twist those wooden chopsticks-like limbs.

However, surprisingly, Mystery did not show a strong reaction.

She was just looking down The One with sad eyes.

“Tell me one thing.””

The One looked uncomfortable.

It would have been easier to endure if Mystery had threatened to kick him or remove the flesh one by one.

However, the gaze of Mystery with an expression that seemed to collapse at any moment was more unbearable than that.

“Why did you decide to carry such a sad fate?” Tell me.”

“…Oh, my god.”

The One sighed, spitting out abusive language.

“Is it pride that you can do it?” Or was it a shame about the mistake you missed? Is it to revive the dead? Or because of resentment? If it’s not him.”

Mystery leaned and asked.

“Actually, you didn’t want it either?””

The One looked at the surroundings.

His ability could have escaped from her hands as much as he wanted. However, in the end, the same situation will continue as long as Mystery is awake.

In addition, other constellations were waiting for an answer.

All of them were personalities created by regression.

Only one was obligated to answer.

Nevertheless, when The One couldn’t open his mouth easily, Mystery pressed his eyes. After being silent for a while, she finally opened her mouth.

“I left the lie detector off. The One.”

“Mystery.”

Martial King tried to intervene, but Mystery stopped him and then said.

“I don’t care if it’s a lie. Say something that will convince me. I lived my whole life floundering in resentment. I don’t want to do that even when I’m dead. That’s what I’m saying.

She stared at only one, burning her eyes coldly.

“Whether it’s resentment or anger, I don’t want to have you in my heart in the first place. So tell me quickly.”

Only one had no choice but to open his mouth.

“It’s what I wanted.””

Mystery’s eyes trembled. But before she opened her mouth, The One quickly continued.

“It’s something I didn’t want to do.”

“And trying to get out of it with blunt words…”…”

“What the heck, yeah. Let’s start from here.”

The One opened his mouth with an annoying smile.

“While climbing the tower with Platinum Lord, I noticed that she was a returnee. At that time, I was only curious and had no intention of stealing the ability to return.”

The One burst into laughter with an upset look.

“I thought of stealing her ability to return was to find out how her seventh return ended.”

“How did you find out…”… No, that doesn’t matter. How did it end?

The One replied with a young look of despondency and disgust.

“On Platinum Lord’s seventh return, she was betrayed by expeditions climbing the tower. Rebellion happened. Platinum Lord escaped to the tower alone with a terrible injury. There was no one beside her who was dying.”

Mystery couldn’t say anything for a moment.

It was Mystery to lead the rebellion and kill Platinum Lord, but it was not long ago that Platinum Lord knew with what intention and mind she had to conquer the tower.

However, in her lifetime, Platinum Lord has never been understood by anyone other than the current Baek Ho-min.

No, she had never tried to be understood from the beginning.

Using her reputation as a sacrifice, she drew out the unity of the city and relentlessly changed her life to conquer it.

In the eyes of people who don’t know anything, Platinum Lord will only appear to be a crazy dictator.

“Your own grave…”…”

“She dug his own grave. It was especially worse during the 7th episode. But the problem is next.”

The One said with a nervous smile.

“Platinum Lord did not die there.”

“You didn’t die?””

“Yeah. When I came back in a month with the constellations of the other tower, I burned the city and the rebels.”

Mystery closed her mouth.

“I killed everything from newborn to old, newborn to constellation. Whether you participated in the rebellion or not. It was not a purge to secure power, nor was it an inevitable sacrifice for humanity.”

The One words was clear.

Platinum Lord is a venting anger.

“After neatly turning the city into ashes, Platinum Lord committed suicide.”

Mystery blankly lifted her eyes into the sky.

I could see the smile of Platinum Lord with Baek Ho-min.

That Platinum Lord is the 8th Platinum Lord.

In other words, the current Platinum Lord will have memories of the 7th episode of the city he destroyed and the people who rebelled against her.

“And she returned neatly and then started doing what she had to do again.”

Nevertheless, Platinum Lord was struggling to direct people, proceed with plans, smile, and save humanity.

The One said with an eerie smile.

“Do you get it now?” Platinum Lord is the limit now. Her spirit is already lining up on the border. If you step on the wrong foot, you become a monster.”

The One looked guilty when he saw Mystery’s face.

“Yeah. Platinum Lord failed, but I was arrogant that it was possible. It is also my mistake to take it away without knowing properly about the return and the price. What I wanted and what I didn’t want are all true.”

“That’s why I was born.””

Mystery muttered.

Her gaze looked through Martial King, Dynamite, and phoenix.

“That’s why we were born.””

Grave Keeper opened his eyes.

What he saw the moment he opened his eyes were dark rooms and hunters surrounding them.

Grave Keeper tried to move, but he couldn’t move because of something black that weighed heavily on his whole body.

He muttered, bursting into disheartened laughter.

“Skull crown dude, it wasn’t easy as expected.”

“Seeing you mention Skull Crown, you’re from the ghost tower.”

Someone opened their mouth in the dark.

Grave Keeper noticed with his determination that his opponent was Platinum Lord. I tried to secretly call out a constellation weapon, but it seemed to be a suicide in this state.

“Nice to meet you, Youngjoo.” Your neck feels stiff.”

“The 3rd cervical spine that I had taken out was inserted back into surgery. It’s an ignorant way, but our pension workshop owner is good at it.”

However, I still felt the pressure from the back of my neck.

Obviously, the very constellation that pulled out his neck bone must be holding a cane.

Grave Keeper gave up the idea of resisting for now.

“The hunters are better than I heard.”

“You let your guard down.”

It was true, not humility.

Grave Keeper knew he was aiming for Platinum Lord and decided to surprise her as soon as possible.

If he had prepared thoroughly in his own way, it would have been impossible to keep him in check with only three hunters with stars.

Baek Ho-min, who was watching the interrogation in the dark, whispered toward Kang Hae-jin.

“That’s a language I’ve never heard before, but somehow I understand it.””

“It’s a barbell language.

Kang hajin replied.

Each tower speaks a different language, but from the 50th floor, its meaning is intuitively understood in its head. It is also said to be the language of the beginning, and there is also a saying that it is the language before humanity was torn down a long time ago.”

“Do schools teach stories like Otaku?””

Platinum Lord leaned toward the Grave Keeper.

“What order did he get?””

“Why should I tell you that?””

“It’s a simple test.” As to whether you intend to cooperate or not.”

Platinum Lord said, bouncing platinum into the air with his finger.

Grave Keeper did not ask what to do if he did not intend to cooperate. Because there was such a natural conclusion waiting.

Either tower does not let their enemies live.

Fighting back with excessive malice for malice. That was the reaction of all the towers.

“If you take off your neck and bring it, you’ll get 100 nibs of gold coins, and if you put it together, you’ll get a great memory of Paul McCartney.”It’s more.”

By the name of Paul McCartney, Baek Ho-min tilted his head.

“constellation야?”

“He’s as important as constellation.”

The person who answered was strangely black.

Baek Ho-min nodded, saying, “It must be a really important constellation at the dark horse.”

“Are you the only constellation dispatched from the ghost tower?””

“I’m the only one.””

“Do you know anything about constellations dispatched from other towers?””

“I heard that Sahar, Anan, and Constellation parables are coming.”

Up to that point, Baek Ho-min and Kang ha-jin also heard and knew. But there, Grave Keeper continued to talk.

“Oh, and I think I’ve heard that the Irish brothers are coming.”

Like this.

Platinum Lord caught platinum flowers that were stuck in the air.

Subtle silence followed.

“Ireland brothers”?”

Grave Keeper wondered as he felt Platinum Lord’s gaze.

The Irish brothers were constellation, but not very threatening. At least the Sahar and Anan couples, and the class was far below the constellation metaphor.

“Aren’t the Irish brothers working for the ivory tower?””

“I don’t know. They serve regardless of the tower if they give me gold.”

Baek Ho-min understood Platinum Lord’s subtle silence.

She had already talked about the constellations she would attack. In other words, it was clear that the intervention of constellations called the Irish Brothers was a situation she did not expect.

A little later, Platinum Lord began to bounce platinum again.

“I see.”

Grave Keeper did not know what ‘I see’ meant.

Whether it’s a sign that he’s going to hit his neck, or if she’s convinced.

Anyway, Platinum Lord has completed the task of checking if there is a big difference from the world ship he knew now.

From here on out, it was a simple social act.

“How is Skull Crown doing?””

“You talk like you know that kid.”

“I know it unilaterally.” Well, isn’t that important? Anyway, tell Skull Crown.”

Grave Keeper looked surprised.”Tell him” means that you will save him and let him go.

Platinum Lord stood up and approached Grave Keeper. Then, she put platinum shoes in the middle of Grave Keeper’s forehead and pressed hard.

Soon, the hot heat began to come from Grave Keeper’s forehead.

Circuits began to be engraved on his forehead.

“I’ll give you a great memory even if you don’t have to take off my head.””

Baek Ho-min looked at the building in front. Right in front of it was an abandoned building that was collapsing.

On top of it, there was a wooden sign with “platinum” written in crude font.

At the bottom, a sign that said “eternal” was lying down broken.

There was only a wasteland vacant lot around it.

Baek Ho-min turned his head and looked around. There was an atmosphere like a desolate alley.

Baek Ho-min said to Kang ha-jin with a disheartened look.

“This is our top?”

“It’s not a tower, it’s a place I’ve seen.” It is supposed to grow according to the gold paid.”

Kang hajin was shoveling hard in the vacant lot.

The stairs they came out of were in a place like an air defense lake in the middle of a desolate vacant lot.

The place was also in a mess because Grave Keeper turned it upside down.

“The six-story system is a place of harmony or competition rather than going up and down like a tower we have met so far. From here on out, it is said that we have to get tangled up and go up. The number of constellations encountered and the number of hunters will jump more than several times.”

“Parasite species?”

“There must be a parasite.” But there are so many hunters that it won’t be a threat.”

For the 6th floor, “City” in the middle of the tower.

It was like the same place.

It is also a city where numerous towers gathered in one place.

Baek Ho-min looked at the buildings with an unfamiliar look. Somewhere was familiar like an alley in the city, but somewhere else resembled the utopia that HOSHIjeol showed in the five-story system.

It may be natural because it is a city formed by towers gathered together.

Kang Hae-jin looked at Baek Ho-min, who was just watching rather than helping him with his work.

“What kind of top is that?””

“It’s not a tower, it’s a building.”

There were huge buildings in the middle of the city.

Among them, there was also a skyscraper that was large enough to match the tower in the center.

It was said that the more gold the tower paid, the more the area owned by each tower grew, so I had no idea how much that skyscraper would have paid.

Kang hajin glanced at the skyscraper and muttered.

“From the color, it seems to belong to the ivory tower. I heard that it is the strongest tower, but it still looks like it.”
