    “Yeonsi please stop sleeping.”

    Soma covered her with a blanket as she buried her face in her knees and didn’t move.

    “I’m fine. “I was just thinking about what to do next.”

    There were dark shadows under her eyes.

    The people who were with her for the first few days left.

    He tried his best to somehow find a way to destroy this mission but in the end he was executed by guillotine or tried to kill Soma after scolding him about how he had a shadow.

    The group collapsed and no ideal way to save everyone was eventually found.

    “Miss don’t talk so glumly. “Good luck.”

    A man sat on the window and laughed cheerfully.

    “Hmm look outside. A lot of people died. “What happened to Joo Gong-hyuk who was said to destroy the mission like a ghost?”

    The man’s name is Kim Jin-tae.

    He was one of the 100 people from Deus who came over with Joo Gong-hyeok and his group.

    He did not lose his smile even when everyone left and even in difficult situations.

    However on the other hand Hayeonsi’s voice was filled with evil.

    “Oppa no Joo Gong-hyuk is a human being. I don’t know how I followed such a person until now. “I can’t communicate with people like that.”

    “…….”

    “Soma will you be with me until the end? “I think the person who will save the world is not Joo Gong-hyuk but someone like Soma.”

    Soma continued to remain silent.

    The first execution day on the 20th floor.

    100 guillotines fell on the heads of shadowless warriors.

    Until then he had managed to maintain his senses but once the executions began chaos spread out of control.

    Even if you are not killed instantly by the guillotine wounds inflicted by the blade cannot be recovered.

    None of the treatments worked.

    “Honestly I don’t know what to do. People think negatively of Soma-sama because of his shadow and there is no way to overcome the mission…”

    Then a sound was heard outside the wall.

    ‘Who are you?’

    ‘Who are you sneaking in?’

    ‘It’s your business…’

    Kwaaaaang!

    An explosion rang out and the wall collapsed.

    A human body stuck out of the flames like a doll with its strings cut.

    “Oh no I almost killed myself. “Plucking people’s collars has become a way of life…”

    Joo Gong-hyeok walked out spreading blazing flames.

    “Mr. Soma. How have you been? “There are a lot of rats around here shouldn’t you have caught them?”

    “Is this the Home Affairs Director Joo Gong-hyuk? “I think he’s a more spectacular person than I’ve heard.”

    At his appearance Kim Jin-tae whispered and Hayeon-si shot back sharply.

    “Why did you come to this place? “You didn’t care about us did you?”

    “Yes Mr. Soma. Have you thought about it a lot? “Why did things become like this?”

    Gonghyuk completely ignored her words and spoke to Soma.

    Soma put his hands together slightly.

    “I thought about it a lot. “I can vaguely see something but I’m still not sure.”

    “Well actually it doesn’t matter if you don’t know anything. “The important thing is not whether there is a shadow or not.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok placed his foot on the fallen man’s chest.

    “You said before that you wanted to become stronger right? So what should you do in this situation?”

    “……”

    “No killing? “No.”

    Gonghyuk’s finger pointed downward.

    “Kill 100 people and come. Let’s talk later. Shall we start with one person here first?”

    Kwasik –

    Without hesitation Soma’s hand blade plunged into the man’s head.

    Joo Gong-hyeok whistled as he looked at the convulsing body of the man who had lost his head.

    “You had no hesitation? “Even if it was a real person I could kill it.”

    “Yes.”

    “I guess meeting a future clone was quite fun.”

    Soma’s face hardened at Gonghyuk’s thoughtful words.

    “Did you know?”

    “then. “I’m afraid you won’t know when the snake plant I planted enters my city.”

    He looked at Soma with interest.

    What Gonghyeok had in his eyes was a curiosity similar to that of observing insects.

    “I was curious what would happen when the two meet. “What kind of change of heart occurred?”

    “There wasn’t much to talk about.”

    Soma spoke clearly.

    “Punish good and punish evil. “I just set my mind on where I needed to go.”

    “good. good. “I have a good mind.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok pointed out the door.

    “If you’ve made up your mind grab 99 more people from outside.”

    He decided a person’s fate too lightly.

    But Soma left the collapsed wall without saying a word.

    “Hmm. “He is a scary person.”

    Kim Jin-tae broke into a cold sweat as he looked at the two.

    Gonghyuk waved his hand happily.

    “Oh Jintae. nice to meet you.”

    “Oh my! Director Joo! “How do you know a deus like me?”

    Kim Jin-tae shook hands with a fuss.

    Gonghyuk smiled and asked him.

    “I know. Mr. Jintae don’t you want to grab 100 people from outside? “If Soma catches 100 people your 100 people will be at risk.”

    “Eh? That’s impossible. A guy like me doesn’t have any skills. also······. “It hasn’t been done that way before.”

    He scratched his head.

    “If there is no solution I plan to hold out until the last 10 people.”

    “Even though 100 people die randomly every day?”

    “It’s scary but if you follow what the director said shouldn’t we only have to endure for the next 2 or 3 days?”

    “It’s easier said than done to last a few days but no matter what you do if you’re unlucky you’ll die. Are you really going to accept that?”

    Kim Jin-tae sighed deeply.

    “My younger brother. They say that if you want to kill someone’s parents daughters and children and live you should stick your nose in a dishwasher and die. “It’s not easy to save your face in front of your younger brother.”

    He laughed heartily while talking about his younger sister.

    He is a good person and has an upright mind.

    The only drawback is that there is no shadow.

    “okay.”

    Gonghyuk shook his head and thought for a moment.

    And looked at him and said.

    “I’m sorry but I’m going to use Mr. Jintae so I don’t want you to die even if by accident.”

    “yes?”

    “For that reason I will kill all 290 remaining Muyeongja today. “You’d better hide it in a corner somewhere.”

    “Uh so…”

    Kim Jin-tae’s fingers wandered in the air at Gonghyeok’s unknown words.

    “What are you talking about?”

    “You will find out now.”

    Squeak-

    His clothes were torn off revealing the devil’s wings on his back.

    “…!?”

    Kim Jin-tae who sensed the murderous intent managed to grab the spear for a brief moment.

    [Maik Transformation – Government Black Sword (A)]

    Black blades rose from his four wings and swept through his limbs.

    “Keueuuuu!”

    His firm grip on the spear fell and his body losing its connection to other parts fell down.

    “Oppa!”

    Ha Yeon-si screamed and grabbed Kim Jin-tae’s bleeding body.

    “What are you doing again? Are you planning on killing everyone for no reason like you did last time with Mr. Cesc? Even other people?”

    “Last time?”

    A black shadow appeared on Joo Gong-hyeok’s face.

    White teeth were revealed and a giggling sound was heard.

    “okay. It’s New Year’s Day. During Cesc’s time. “Your performance was amazing.”

    “Active activity is important right now…”

    “You saved people’s lives and it wasn’t a big fuss right? “Do you remember?”

    Gonghyeok kicked Kim Jintae’s rolling leg.

    “Sometime try calling the avatar you’re proud of. “Don’t you think attaching limbs would be easier than resurrecting a single person?”

    She turned blue and grabbed her severed leg.

    Her avatar Princess Bari has healing abilities that are unparalleled in Babel.

    Moreover with her ability to reach the 20th floor attaching limbs at once without any side effects is an easy task that she can do with her eyes closed.

    But she hesitated a little.

    “why? Hayeonsi tells me to try it. Call Princess Bari attach the body to her bring the person back to life and so on. “It’s easy.”

    She pursed her lips and placed her legs on the fallen section.

    But nothing happened.

    A thin crescent-moon-like sneer appeared on Gonghyeok’s face covered in dark shadows.

    “You can’t call your avatar right? A flower that attaches flesh a flower that makes blood a flower that makes blood etc.”

    “…….”

    Ha Yeon-si lowered her head and remained silent without saying a word.

    Joo Gong-hyeok approached her and said.

    “That’s why you come out. “You bastards who act like idiots during the holidays.”

    “I got caught.”

    Hayeonsi woke up with an unnatural movement.

    The voice was no longer hers.

    Hayeonsi’s neck cracked and split open with a cracking sound.

    The split neck lightly fell down and the headless body lightly caught the head and nestled into the side.

    A head as white and beautiful as a statue opened its mouth.

    “This is Rahu the heavenly knight. Since I found out something I’ll give you a reward according to the rules.”

    [Great achievement! Cleared ‘Muyeongja’s Secret on the 20th Floor’ in 6 days.]

    [40 blue coins will be given as a reward!]

    Patter-patter-

    A coin fell in front of Joo Gong-hyeok.

    Muyoungs are copies of real humans.

    Rahu only caught Hayeonsi specifically to tease Joo Gong-hyeok.

    Bringing up the Cesc incident was nothing more than a random retelling of Hayeonsi’s fragmented memories.

    Gonghyeok scooped up the coins that had fallen on the floor into his mouth and touched Jintae Kim’s fallen body.

    “Huh huh huh.”

    He was in a state of mild shock due to excessive bleeding and pain.

    Take out a flesh-colored flower from your inventory.

    [Use 4 sage flowers.]

    [New skin appears on the cross section and heals cleanly.]

    The bleeding had stopped and the cross section had a blunt finish as if the wound had been several years old.

    If you pour out dozens of soft and bone flowers new arms will grow but then the reason for cutting them off disappears.

    Rahu looked at Gonghyeok’s abilities and was slightly impressed.

    “I gave you a blue coin but it’s more useless to you than I thought.”

    “huh. “I took all the abilities that can be taken in blue.”

    ‘I need to give you Somana.’ Gonghyuk muttered softly.

    The ability level that can be raised with blue coins is up to A.

    It has been a long time since Gonghyuk reached the maximum level of A-level abilities.

    The sound of words was heard through the ears of Gonghyeok who was caring for Kim Jintae who was dissatisfied with all five organs.

    “Oh my gosh I was planning on taking that bitch hostage. “You’ve already ruined everything right?”

    “Mr. Juntae. I heard you met that person a long time ago. Are you strong?”

    “What a bastard you are.”

    bang!

    This time the door shattered and two shadows entered the room.

    Gonghyuk clicked his tongue.

    “Oh my. “Don’t you know the etiquette of knocking before entering a room?”

    – I don’t think that’s what someone who breaks through the wall let alone the door would say.

    “It’s been a while since I heard your voice.”

    – Because of you I had a lot to think about. Look ahead.

    At Nathaniel’s advice Gonghyeok folded his wings and looked at the uninvited guests.

    A one-eyed Asian hunter and a white gangster were on the broken door.

    “Hey~ I heard you got promoted suddenly but you’re very talented. young friend. “Do you remember my face?”

    “then. No way Park Jun-tae is trying to forget.”

    The name of the one-eyed hunter is Park Jun-tae.

    It was Park Jun-tae the ‘bronze giant’ who attacked an orphanage and lost one eye to Joo Gong-hyeok before coming to Babel.

    “Thank goodness! “I wish you had forgotten me…”

    “How can you forget? “It was definitely like this back then right?”

    Gonghyeok laughed comically.

    “sorry. sorry. sorry! “Please forgive me just once because I don’t even know the topic!”

    “…….!!!”

    In Park Jun-tae’s mind the incident of his subordinates dying and begging Joo Gong-hyeok for their lives came to mind.

    Gonghyeok was still smiling and looked down at Park Juntae.

    “I got shot in the back and grabbed my pants while urinating. How can I forget that? “Well it was so dirty that it was difficult to wash it.”

    Park Jun-tae’s face turned red.

    “You bastard will really kill me.”

    “Mr. Juntae. Calm down. “This time it’s just reconnaissance.”

    The gangster next to him calmed down Park Jun-tae and looked at Joo Gong-hyeok.

    “You know what? “Every time you kill a Muyoungja you get 10 temporary stats.”

    As Kkeokdari said on the 20th floor a temporary stat of 10 was given every time Muyeongja was killed.

    It was a temporary buff that could be given to any stat you wanted.

    “Juntae and I killed 50 people each and got our main abilities up to A or S. “Can you deal with two people like that?”

    The man’s eyes narrowed and his gaze became critical of the other person.

    “From what I see you didn’t kill a single person. “I think we’ll have an advantage.”

    “okay! that’s right! That’s it! So I’m going to kill this fucking bastard right now…”

    Rahu the Knight of Heaven closed his eyes as he watched Park Jun-tae running wild.

    “Umm…”

    Following Rahu’s moans Joo Gong-hyeok also scratched his cheek.

    “hmm. “I don’t think that’s right?”
