Episode 238 – The Meaning of Betrayal (1)
Alan immediately brought in a montage artist, and Wright described the appearance to the artist step by step.
“The eyes were about this big, and the gaze was a bit sharp.”
“How is it?”
The artist showed off his sketch of the pupils. Light squinted.
“Umm… … No, no. It’s a little bigger than this, and the eyes are a little too slanted.”
“Okay. Then… … ”
Alan, who had been listening to the two people's conversation with an anxious expression, looked back at Alex.
“Montages aren’t something that can be completed quickly.”
“I know.”
"hmm?"
“When I came into the office, I also drew a montage.”
Lee Kyung-bok commented on Alex's answer.
“Oh, I see. Those Safeshifters must have made a montage.”
-Alan, why do you look like you don't know?
-Ah haha how does the franchise president know even the branch employees?
-I guess you didn't have any information because you were recently promoted. Lol
-The chairman is digging into his painful wounds?
Alan rolled his eyes for a moment, then cleared his throat.
“Ahem, then I understand better. It would be nice to wait together, but how about leaving the montage to me and going out and patrolling the city?”
“Patrol?”
“Yeah, didn’t you say this was your first time here? Even if you find them, how frustrating would it be to miss them because you don’t know the way?”
His question caused the chat window to fill with laughter.
-5252, The perfect detective never gets lost!
-What, there's a Kingni map lol
-But it's also true that when you're chasing someone, you might not have time to look at the minimap.
-If you don't skip, I wonder if there's something you need to do
Meanwhile, Alan pointed to a city map and said:
“You could check out the Federal Reserve, which is a strong candidate, or it wouldn’t be a bad idea to visit the police department.”
“The police department?”
“Oh, I don’t know since it’s my first time here. As you can see, St. Claude is so large that there’s no sheriff in charge of local security. Instead, the city police take that role. The federal marshals use the police department as their headquarters.”
Alan concluded by pointing out two places on the map.
-Ah, I think I saw it in a cutscene.
-Yeah, there were police officers in blue uniforms.
-If you go to a bank or police station, there seems to be some kind of event?
-But the locations are almost opposite.
-Aren't you trying to make it so that people can naturally tour the city?
-Oh lol natural design?
As the artist moved his pencil again, the light also interfered.
“Alex, I agree with that opinion. I’m more than enough to be tied up here. Of course, the choice is yours.”
At her words, Alex folded his arms and nodded. With that, the cutscene ended and control returned.
“It seems like it’s free time for now. I think the next story will come out if I look around the city and go to the bank or the police station.”
-If I emphasize it twice, you can't not know, right?
-Really lol If you don't know, it's a power issue
-I don't know if I should choose one of the two or go with both.
-I guess I should decide carefully just in case?
-ㅇㅇ It could be a turning point
After hearing what the viewers said, Lee Kyung-bok left the office.
“Then let’s start by fixing the gun and deciding where to go first. It looks like we’ll finally be able to catch the gang, but we can’t have the gun break down at a crucial moment, right?”
-This is the eldest one lol
-Somehow, I think there might be a route that you can take without having to service your gun. Lol
-Really lol, you weren't doing well, right? I think you made a route.
-Don't be so easy, f*ck lol
-Anyone can see that it's a bad ending, lol
With the viewers' consent, Lee Kyung-bok visited the gun shop.
* * *
While leaving the gun to be serviced, Lee Kyung-bok weighed his options with a new weapon.
Which would be more fun to visit, the Federal Reserve or the police department?
'Well, it doesn't feel like there's that much of a difference.'
Still, it was definitely more fun and positive. Lee Kyung-bok received the cleaned gun and left the gun shop.
-Huh! Where are you going?
-If you're a detective, you have to go to the crime scene! Go to the bank.
-Oh lol, the incident hasn't happened yet!
-Wouldn't it be a bad idea to check with the police department to see if they have any other clues?
-Should we vote now?
-Instead of voting, how about betting on where Godple will go first?

The viewers quickly poured out their opinions. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and said,
“I don’t think we’re going to vote or bet. Oh, there’s a tram over there. Let’s take that and get off at the first stop.”
He pointed to the stopped tram and said.
-Oh lol, you leave it to luck?
-If you're lucky, you can get a god player too ㅋㅋㅋ
-Then why don't you open point betting?
-Stop gambling!
He boarded the tram while looking at the chat window.
'It's not random.'
At first glance, it may seem random, but Lee Kyung-bok had already learned the direction of the tram's movement when watching the cityscape cutscene.
“There are more police officers than expected?”
Lee Kyung-bok turned the viewers' attention to the outside of the tram. Uniformed police officers were patrolling all over the city.
-It seems like you increased your manpower because of Gangdan Shack?
-If you patrol like this, it won't be easy to commit terrorism, lol
-If we do this, won't terrorism just not happen? LOL
Soon, the destination appeared on the minimap.
-Oh? It came out lol
-It's a bank lol
-Ah, I was going to go all-in on the bank when I bet!
-I'm already all in with the bank to pay off my loan.
-Ah… Ahh… …
-No, not that all-in… …
-What is Sploot?
-You too? Come on, come on!
The first place the tram arrived was the Federal Bank. Lee Kyung-bok concentrated on the strangeness he felt as he got off.
“Just as Alan said, you’ve deployed a lot of agents. It might be useful to learn how to disguise yourself.”
His words caused a question mark to appear in the chat window. How could they know I was disguised when I just got off?
Lee Kyung-bok continued talking while walking towards the bank.
“Do you see that guy reading a newspaper on that bench? He’s not turning the page. He’s just looking around.”
“He looks like a beggar, begging in a corner, and if you look at his clothes, there is a clear difference between the dirty and clean parts. It is probably because he got his clothes dirty in a hurry.”
Lee Kyung-bok explained while looking at the disguised detectives.
-No;;; Can you see that?
-Why is this happening?
-Puzzical ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-5252, you were a real detective, huh?
-What on earth are my eyes doing? What are they doing!
-Ah haha, you're saying that the eyes of the T-shirt are there to watch the Gotple broadcast!?
Lee Kyung-bok smiled faintly at the rave reviews piling up in the chat window.
“Let’s take a look inside.”
As I climbed the stairs to enter the bank, I suddenly lost control and entered a cutscene.
Suddenly, I felt like something happened.
“No, Detective Alex!”
A man approached with a welcoming voice.
“Jerry? What are you doing here?”
He was none other than Jerry the banker.
-Alex: Why are you out there?
-Genome re-emerges!
-Why is the HOXY chapter title Betrayal?
-Ah, lol, are you here to kick that rat?
-What is a genome frame? Lol
-Did the rat's karma go to poor Jerry?
-This won't work. I have to go to Genome Broadcasting today and ask for an explanation.
-Did you do it? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Jerry smiled awkwardly as he observed Alex's expression.
“Oh, I told you once. Well, you’re always busy, detective, so you might have forgotten. I understand, yes. I came because of the auction.”
-Oh, Lancaster Ranch?
-That's right lol I asked Alex if he wanted to try being a ranch owner too.
-Oh lol I thought it was a surprise appearance but it wasn't?
Viewers recalled the story immediately following the Lancaster treatment. The same was true for Alex.
“If it’s an auction, it’s the Lancaster Ranch.”
“That’s right. After all, there are many big-time, wealthy people in Saint-Claude.”
“That’s a good thing. Do you have a moment?”
“Yes? Oh, yes, of course. There is no time that I cannot give to my benefactor.”
Jerry looked puzzled, but soon nodded. However, his expression changed when Alex asked him the following question.
“Do you know anything about bank vaults?”
“Oh, I know, I know, but why is that… … ”
Jerry, who was about to ask again, quickly shut his mouth and shook his head.
“No, it’s not. Of course, it’s detective work. I don’t think it’s a story I’d be good at knowing.”
-Look at how fast Jerry Shack can take his foot off the ground lol
– As expected, Genome-type people are quick to catch on ㅋㅋㅋ
-Looking at your reflexes, you look more like a rat lol
-Really lol, you used to be a troll, right?
-Tchopi (human world)
-They still ate it in the human world lol
-Ugh! Of all people, I had to meet God… … !
The chat room was cheerful, but Alex was serious.
“Where is the most vulnerable part of a safe?”
“Uh… um, you’re a detective, right? No, that was a slip of the tongue. Ahem, if it’s vulnerable, it’s the entrance, of course. The rest of the wall is solid.”
“Would it be the same if I blew it up with dynamite?”
“Dynamite? Oh, that… how many?”
“No matter how many you imagine, it will be more than that.”
The chat window became more cheerful as the two people's conversation progressed and Jerry's expression changed from moment to moment.
-No lol what are you thinking?
-From Jerry's perspective, it would probably feel like he was giving bank robbery consulting. LOL
-???: There's no way a detective would do that, right? LOL
-???: No, right? Detective, right?
-???: What the fu*k? Am I participating in a crime right now?
-What is Jerry's inner thoughts? Lol
Meanwhile, Jerry quickly rolled his eyes.
“Umm… … Anyway, we should aim for the entrance.”
“Can’t you break it with dynamite?”
“No. Even if you had the firepower to break through the vault wall, you would have to aim for the entrance. With that much firepower, there would be no point in breaking through the wall.”
“It doesn’t make sense?”
“If you break into a safe, you’ll probably want to take out the money and gold bars inside, but if you blow up the wall, won’t everything just blow away? The money will turn to ashes, and the gold bars won’t be safe either.”
Jerry, who had been pouring out his words, immediately waved his hand.
“No, there might be a bigger problem.”
“What is that?”
“With that much firepower, the bank building itself could collapse. What good would that do? So you need to change your plan.”
“Ahem… … So it must be difficult to crack a bank vault. Thank you for your advice.”
Alex nodded. Jerry looked at him calmly and said with determination.
“Detective, if you have any financial difficulties, please contact me at any time. I will do my best to help you.”
“Huh? No, there’s no such problem.”
“Then why on earth… … No, I won’t ask any more questions. I should go back quickly before I get involved in an incident.”
“Don’t worry. That won’t happen.”
At Alex's words, Jerry looked at him and then left.
-Oh my gosh lol No matter how I look at it, you're misunderstanding lol
-The two of them have different interpretations of that happeningㅋㅋㅋ
-I will stop the incident vs. I will not report it
-Jerry Shack ㅋㅋ Even if you misunderstand, you still keep your promises ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Really ㅋㅋ What are you trying to convince me to change my plans in the middle of? ㅋㅋㅋ
The cutscene ended while the viewers were laughing. Lee Kyung-bok also laughed, but soon turned his attention away.
“Oh, but from what I hear, it doesn’t seem like robbing a bank is easy.”
-Yeah, it seems like it would be really hard to rob a bank
– At this point, it seems like the gangsters' target isn't the bank?
-High risk, low return
-Isn't money really your goal?
-???: What's important is the message
-Ah haha, of course it's Megat rather than Nalgangdu
Viewers also sympathized with him.
“Well, I thought about it and I think I would do it like this.”
Lee Gyeong-bok thought for a moment and then opened his mouth again.
“You can blow up the entrance to the bank instead of the wall with dynamite. Then the police and detectives can’t get in. In the meantime, you can subdue the inside, open the vault entrance, or blow it up to secure the money and gold, and then blow up the wall.”
When a question mark appeared in the chat window, Lee Kyung-bok added one more word.
“Oh, I’m the only one who goes into the bank. It’ll be hard because if we all rush in, we’ll be suspected, so the other gang members are preparing a means of escape. After all, money is money, so I can’t run away with gold bars, right?”
-No;;; You're going to sweep away the entire bank by yourself?
-Look at Godple's perfect plan ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-If King Jik-Gadple was an outlaw, would there be a bank he couldn't rob?
-Perfect Gang? Immediately. Join.
-Huh? Honestly, how many criminal records do you have?
-Ah haha, I didn't get caught, so I guess I have a criminal record?
Lee Kyung-bok laughed at the viewers' playful reactions. But he soon turned his eyes away.
'what?'
A new threat was detected. He immediately took a step forward. Soon, what he saw were shabby-looking children.
-Aren't you going to the bank?
-I heard from Jerry, so I guess it's not necessary?
-Are you going to the police station now?
-What is this? Why are there so many kids gathered here?
-Why are the kids like this?
-Look at your pale faceㅠ
-They're slum kids.
-Because it is a big city, the gap between rich and poor is bigger
-Originally, slums also appeared in big cities.
Viewers felt sorry for that sight, but Lee Kyung-bok was different.
The children who had been huddled together and squirming quickly left when he approached.
-?
-What? Were you playing in the dirt?
-What do you think you buried?
Traces of the dug up soil being covered again.
Instead of explaining, Lee Kyung-bok dug up the place again. A brown stick was visible inside the pile of dirt.
-Huh?
-Why is this coming out here?
-What is it? What the heck is it?
It was dynamite.
While the viewers were surprised, Lee Kyung-bok took action. He grabbed the dynamite and immediately chased after the children who had run away.
As he chased after them, the children became even more frightened and ran into the alley.
-Are the kids in league with Hired Gun?
-What the hell is going on?
-Huh! Don't miss it!
-Are you going to the outskirts?
-Looks like you're going to the slums?
Lee Kyung-bok quickly closed the distance between himself and the children. As they entered the back alley.
“What is this guy doing?”
“Why are you chasing our brothers?”
Young people bigger than those kids surrounded him and created an intimidating atmosphere with their menacing expressions, but Lee Gyeong-bok remained calm.
He took out the dynamite and showed it to the children hiding behind their older brothers.
“Where did you get this?”
But it wasn't the kids who answered the question. Teenagers approached with the corners of their mouths twisted. Some of them even had small knives.
“What the hell are you talking about? Are you crazy, sir?”
When the guy who seemed to be the leader spoke, laughter broke out from those around him.
-That piece of shit in front of Godple?
-Huh? Are you mad?
– Are there any law enforcement shields in the Western era?
-Hey, lol. Are you saying that you believed in the law and acted like that? lol
Lee Kyung-bok opened his mouth before the chat window became more heated.
“There’s nothing like this to change the mood.”
The revolver pulled out along with those words.
The giggling leader only realized it when the gun barrel touched his forehead.
“Hey, it’s a gun!”
“Run away!”
As if nothing had happened, the children started to run away in fear. The leader turned around in a panic and ran without making a sound.
“I haven’t heard the answer yet.”
Lee Kyung-bok had no intention of letting him go easily. The leader, caught in the noose he had thrown, fell forward.
"evil!"
The guy who shed tears while drinking coffee was shaking. Lee Kyung-bok showed off his dynamite again.
“We, we really don’t know anything. Really! They gave us the money and told us to just, just bury the stick!”
"rod?"
Lee Kyung-bok's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
-You didn't even know it was dynamite?
-Couldn't the kids know?
-Wow, those fu*king gangsters just used me.
-But looking at his personality, he was worthy of a nosebleed
-That's the eldest one lol
It was clear that Hired Gun had been preparing in advance by using poor children.
“Who ordered this?”
“I really don’t know! I just met that person at church…!”
"church?"
Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers were both puzzled by the unexpected location.
“At church, they give out free food to poor people like us. There, I met a person there who gave me money and a stick. It’s true!”
-So you used the church?
– It has the potential to be king. During the Wild West era, churches were very important.
-This is the eldest one, lol. The church is a place that even the sheriff can't easily touch.
-F*ck, I don't think kids would be carrying dynamite around.
-The gangsters are really thinking straight lol
Lee Kyung-bok clicked his tongue briefly.
As soon as he released the noose, the leader ran away naked.
“I guess I need to go to church.”
* * *
When we arrived at the church, there was a line of shabby-dressed homeless people.
-Wow, there are so many people.
-If you just look at the line, you'll think it's King Berland lol
-Are there any gang members among them?
-If you hide here, no one will find you, f*ck.
-At this point, shouldn't you go to the office or police station and get additional support?
-Really lol When are you going to investigate each and every one of these?
Viewers were shocked by the larger-than-expected crowd.
But Lee Gyeong-bok was different.
'There is no one to be suspected.'
If there was, it was possible to identify the whereabouts of the outlaws through the divine power. However, the feeling of being detected was flat.
While looking around like that.
'Found it.'
Lee Kyung-bok sensed the threat.
But the source was not human.
'Is this a basement warehouse?'
The place where the threat was detected was the building on the church grounds, in its basement. A more detailed new spirit relayed information about the area.
'So that's how you hid it.'
There was a box of dynamite mixed in among boxes filled with various foods.
'It would be nice to avoid suspicion.'
It was clear that the Hired Gun Gang was using the church as a dynamite storage facility.
