Episode 249 – Perfect Revenge (4)
After clearing out the Hired Gun hideout, Kyungbok Lee and Light returned to St. Claude.
“We’re going straight into a cutscene.”
As we entered the city, a cutscene began.
“I’ll go check on Billy.”
“Okay, let’s meet again in front of the police station.”
Alex left Light behind and visited the police department building.
-A father who only thinks about his children ㅠㅠ
-Billy Mental, you need to reassure me often, Imari.
-It'll be pardoned soon!
-Ah haha, Godple will catch Boss Shack soon
Alex's head turned as he entered the dungeon. Soon his pupils began to shake.
But when I was wondering why, the camera turned around.
“Billy?”
Drunkards sprawled out as if they were still drunk, vagrants sitting listlessly, lawbreakers with scowls on their faces, etc.
There were new inmates in the prison.
“Billy!? Billy!”
But there was no Billy in the meantime.
-?????
-omg?
-What? Where's Billy?
-You didn't execute it in the meantime?
-No, f*ck, that's not it!
If the viewers were confused, how much more confused must Alex be? He glanced around the prison with a thoughtful expression and then ran to the guard.
“Billy, where did Billy go?”
"yes?"
“Where did my son go?”
When he shouted out, even the people in the prison turned their eyes in surprise. The guard stammered and answered in response to the chilling expression.
“I, I don’t know. I work shifts in the morning… … ”
Alex bit his lip and went straight up the stairs. He headed towards the director's office.
The door opened with a bang. Instead of the police chief, Harold was there.
“Hmm? Your knocking is quite rough, isn’t it?”
He sipped his coffee, calmly, even in the face of Alex's ambush.
“I see you came earlier than expected. It looks like things are going well.”
Alex approached him, glaring.
“Didn’t you say you would keep your promise?”
"promise?"
“My son! Where is Billy now?!”
Alex's voice trembled.
It was because my body was shaking with anger and passion. Still, I was trying my best to suppress my anger.
-Harold Shack, answer correctly, really.
-If you do something stupid, you'll get a wind hole right away
-My son is gone, so this is a really rational way to deal with it. Hahaha
-Really lol If it were me, I would have pointed a gun at his forehead and asked him
Harold, however, smiled, oblivious to Alex's appearance.
“Ah, that’s what it was.”
He stirred the coffee cup slowly with a teaspoon as if deliberately pouring medicine.
At this moment, Alex was about to say something again.
“I’m safe, so don’t worry.”
“What the heck… …”
“This is a measure to fulfill the promise.”
At that answer, a question mark spread across Alex's face as well as the chat window.
“You promised a pardon through a legal bargain, but there are so many witnesses to this attempted assassination. What good will it do to the investigative agency if we just let the perpetrator of the attempted assassination of the president go free?”
"face……?"
“As I said, I want to unify the law enforcement forces. The newly established Federal Bureau of Investigation should be supported by the law and by severely punishing lawbreakers.”
Harold smiled and leaned back in his chair.
“Billy has been moved to a safe house. My direct subordinates are guarding him.”
“Safe house? Where is that!?”
“Conversation is a give and take. Now it’s your turn. How’s the work going?”
Alex clenched his fists, but soon exhaled and opened his mouth.
“Those guys… … ”
As soon as the screen flickered, Harold's posture changed. He had skipped the explanation of the content.
“We raided the hideout, and there were no survivors… … ”
Harold rolled his eyes and muttered. Soon he was snorting and shaking his head.
“I believe you’re not lying. I can’t risk my son’s life to do that. Well, it’s something we can find out right away if we check that hideout.”
But soon his expression hardened.

“But it’s a shame that we missed Boss and that traitorous gang called Romwell. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be difficult to say that we kept our promise?”
-Ah haha I really don't like that attitude
-Really lol I'm craving some chestnuts
-Is it normal to take a child hostage and do something like this? Lol
-It would be perfect if you put a cast on your neck to help with the stiffness. Haha
-Next, NexSlice!
-If it weren't for the cutscene, I would've really given up lol
Viewers complained about the overbearing attitude, but what happened next was different from what they expected.
“Still, it’s definitely an amazing achievement. He deserves some credit for taking down most of the gang members by himself.”
"then……?"
Alex was surprised, as were the viewers.
“I even obtained information that the boss and the traitors were in St. Claude, and I even found out that the client of Hired Guns actually exists. It seems like my choice was not wrong.”
Harold looked at him and nodded slightly.
“It would be advantageous for the investigation department to accumulate achievements for the sake of integration. So I think this is enough. Let’s keep our promise.”
-Cliche destruction here?
-Are you really going to forgive me?
-Harold Shack, maybe he's actually a good guy?
-Ah haha, he was just a strict civil servant character?
-Huh? But you can't catch the boss?
-It seems like he's securing his son's safety first lol
Viewers welcomed the fact, although they were puzzled.
'There's something fishy… … '
However, Lee Kyung-bok, who knew that Harold was a villain, was different. It seemed like he had another plan, but since it was a cutscene, he had no choice but to watch it for now.
Meanwhile, Harold held out a folded piece of paper.
“This is the location of the safe house.”
Alex quickly grabbed the map, but Harold didn't let go. When Alex glared at him, Harold raised his index finger.
“One, I forgot, but I have something to ask of you.”
“… … What is that?”
“You must go to the safe house alone.”
"alone?"
“Yes. My direct subordinates know that you are coming alone. If you go with someone else, it will be considered a breach of promise and bad things will happen.”
“What is that… … !”
“As I said, the less people know, the better.”
Harold's eyes narrowed.
“The Indian who helped you at the train station was no exception.”
Alex took a deep breath at those words, grabbed the map with all his might, and opened his mouth.
“Her name is Wright, not Indian.”
* * *
As I left the police station, the screen changed.
A high mountain range that seemed to touch the sky, its peaks covered in pure white snow.
-Did you go straight to the safe house?
-The snowy mountain scenery was torn apart lol
-I think I could use it as my desktop wallpaper just by taking a screenshot ㅋㅋㅋ
Alex and Light had arrived right in front of the map.
“There really is a safe house in a place like this?”
Light tilted his head back and looked up into the distance as he spoke. Alex unfolded the folded map again and nodded.
“Light, thank you for coming here.”
A low voice came out of his mouth.
Light looked at him for a moment, nodded in return, and turned his horse around.
-omg?
-What is it? Bye bye?
-Don't go, Bitnunna!
-When Billy comes back, you'll join us again, right? Right!?
-Is it really ending soon?
-Something feels uneasy;;
-Isn't this a happy ending?
-Huh? There was no route that could go wrong!
-If Godple does it, it's a perfect ending!
-Trust me, trust me!
While the viewers were feeling sorry, Alex climbed the mountain. The blue forest at the entrance, the rocky area, and the snow-covered highlands were connected like a panorama on the screen.
-What is the climbing speed?
-Quick skips are welcome lol
-I got off the horse in the middle of the ride.
-If I had known this would happen, I would have come riding a mountain goat!
-If you were a mountain goat, you'd go to the cliff. Lol.
Soon, the screen zoomed in on the snowy mountain and showed Alex gasping for breath.
An area with snow piled up to the knees, beyond which a small cabin could be seen.
“Billy? Billy!”
Alex ran towards the cabin, breathing heavily and shouting loudly.
But all that came back was a faint echo and the occasional sound of the wind blowing.
-Why is it so quiet?
-???: Isn't this the mountain?
-Is that Napoleonic humor?
-No lol. When on earth was that humor from?
-How does Namgung know that?
-Hahahahahaha!
The viewers were quelling their anxiety by making nonsensical remarks. Lee Kyung-bok smiled faintly and said,
“There is someone there. If you look closely, you can see that their eyes are scattered.”
-Oh lol that's right
-Godple is observing, but T-soo is still going south hahahaha okay lol
-Everyone, focus!
Of course, even if there were no traces, he had already gathered information about the surroundings. Billy and the villains were inside the cabin.
Suddenly the cabin door opened wide.
“Should I say it’s been a while?”
Inside, Billy, tied up, and armed gunmen emerged. Alex glared at their faces.
The viewers' reactions weren't much different.
-uh?
-What the f*ck?
-Why is he here?
-What? Is it still Chapter 4?
-Wow lol is your commander crazy?
The men surrounding Alex were none other than Romwell's gang.
“Billy!”
Alex recognized the face and quickly reached for his holster, but had to stop himself.
“Come on, I know you’re happy to see me, but let’s calm down. Okay? You should think about having a conversation first like a civilized person.”
Romwell pointed the gun at Billy. Alex's face twisted at the sight of Billy flinching.
“You don’t like talking? Well, it doesn’t really matter to us, but it’s a bit cold here. If the corpses keep piling up, it’ll be a pain to deal with them.”
At Romwell's words, another man kicked a pile of snow in the corner. With a thud, the snow poured down, revealing its contents.
-?????
-omg?
-Who are you?
-ㅁㅊ Aren't you the original owner of the cabin?
A recently deceased corpse was buried inside. It was immediately apparent who he was.
“Oh, this is our first meeting? Say hello. He’s the boss of the infamous Hired Gun.”
The rest of the gang chuckled at Romwell's words. But no one else could laugh.
-to?
-Boss? The boss is dead?
-What the fu*k is going on?
-???: The otter? The otter is dead!?
-T-Soo guys, let's go to Gyeonhwonㅋㅋㅋ
Chats poured in in confusion at the news that the boss they had been chasing had died. However, Lee Kyung-bok, along with several viewers, understood the situation.
“Wow, that shapeshifter was working under Harold.”
-Really lol I couldn't even catch the boss, but it's a promise-keeping card
-That's because he was already so shy lol
-And then you pretend to be kind to me and that's so disgusting?
Alex was the same.
“There was a reason I told you to come alone. Now that I’m no longer useful, are you going to dispose of me?”
He asked from afar.
At those words, the Romwell gang laughed louder once more.
“Yes, we actually thought so too. We used the Hired Gun and threw it away so mercilessly. But Mr. Harold has different thoughts.”
The chat window stirred again at those words.
-Huh? What is it?
-You said you used not only the Shapeshifter but also the Hired Gun?
-Mr. Harold and Lady Helen lol
-What the heck lol the client was Harold
-Wow what the f*ck this is it lol
Lee Kyung-bok also expressed his disappointment at the newly revealed facts.
“Oh, that’s right. Harold was trying to consolidate the investigation into one bureau, right? He needed a justification for that, so he hired Hired Gun to kill them.”
-Then it seems like the assassination of the president was also bait?
-You're just being rude, lol. You're the one who asked for the assassination and advised the president to go by carriage.
-???: Woohoo~! I've earned the President's trust DAZE!
-Are you crazy? Lol
Alex opened his mouth while the viewers were also putting the puzzle together.
“At that time… … the reason the gold was recovered was because its utility had completely diminished.”
“The country sheriff became a detective and he’s gotten a lot smarter now?”
Romwell continued, his voice cracking.
“Honestly, isn’t it a shame? No, when the time came to have slavery and racism? If you lost the war, you should learn to accept reality. I don’t understand why you’re just carrying the flag of the losers.”
He sneered as he looked at the body of his dead boss.
“These idiots were completely loyal to Mr. Harold when he said he was planning a coup. But I and my brothers were different.”
At those words, the other gang members nodded their heads in triumph.
“I was the one who was truly fit for the position of boss! Mr. Harold knew that too. He was very satisfied when I told him my plan. That means he’s treating me according to my abilities.”
Romwell held Billy in front of him like a shield and aimed his gun at the back of his head.
“That’s why you and this lump of flesh are still alive. Normally, I would have buried you right away, but Mr. Harold treasures good people.”
“Talent… …?”
“Yeah, you’ve become quite famous. Okay, let’s stop talking and get to the end of it. It’s a simple choice. Either stay here with your son or join the Shapeshifters and live a life of luxury.”
As Romwell finished speaking, the vision went black and white. The only things in color were Romwell's gang and his pistol.
[Join]
[Resist]
The chat window immediately began to shake at the given choice.
-What the f*ck, why are there these choices!
-Rock and roll! Is this the best!?
-F*ck, if you resist, Billy won't die?
-But maybe I can get it if I get a Godple?
-No, it seems safer to join first and then take command.
-Just looking at this, it seems like it won't work because it's a turning point in the ending.
-Let's just give it a try!
-Did you save? Was it auto-save?
The viewers debated between the two options, but there was no room for that.
This was because, unlike before, there was a gauge that was decreasing in front of my eyes.
The implications were obvious.
-No;;; Why is there a time limit for this choice!
-Bbangyabangya is the answer!
-What if Billy dies?
-Ah haha if it's Godple then I can save you!
-But the location is so bad;;
-Really lol I'm surrounded and have no cover.
-Let's go for the Genome Kick!
-It looks like we won't be able to open voting due to the time limit.
-What is this voting again? Lol
-Godple will take care of everything!
As time went by, the chat window became even more chaotic. But even in the midst of all that chaos, Lee Kyung-bok remained calm.
"everyone."
As he opened his mouth, the chatter that had been rising stopped for a moment.
“Do you remember? Up until now, there were only three choices.”
As he continued to speak, the chat window filled with question marks. What does that have to do with the current situation?
But then, beyond the gauge, a color appeared on the hillside that had been dyed black and white.
It was a part that was exquisitely covered by the gauge.
-Oh? What is it? What is this!
-Are you shining? Are you shining!
-Wow lol what is this lol
-You came with me because you were worried?
-Light Boseong! Light Boseong! Light Boseong!
-Ah haha it's really awesome
She was Light.
And the third option that came to mind next to her.
[Revenge]
The viewers who saw it erupted in cheers.
-Oh my gosh lol Rock and roll is really crazy lol
-Wow, f*ck, only players who are somewhat immersed in the game would know this, lol
-If you had decided right away without thinking about it, it wouldn't have been an option, right?
-This is the first time I've seen such directing in my life ㅋㅋㅋ
-Rock and Roll really makes good games lol
If you've been immersed in the character of Alex, it's a situation where it wouldn't be easy to make a decision.
The developers have opened up a new path for players who are that immersed.
“So, is it decided?”
The chat window was filled with laughter at Lee Kyung-bok's question.
-The sandwiches are sharp lol
-So, recruiting Bitnuna was the key?
-Romwell Shack is gone lol
-Get rid of everything and give Harold a proper education.
-Let's go for the happy ending!
It was time to put an end to this ill-fated relationship.
