I Became the Companion of the Gods

Chapter 67

67 – EP.18 Bhopal Rabbit -2

There was only one thing that came to mind when it came to rabbit magic.

A rabbit who lives on the moon. It is an object commonly called a jade rabbit, but it cannot be confirmed whether it actually exists as a creature in the legend.

Because no human being has ever seen a jade rabbit.

Then, is the rabbit in front of me a legendary jade rabbit, or is it a new beast unknown to me?

I don’t know. I just found out that she is a rabbit god. I don’t even know what she looked like.

Besides, why is Shinsoo deliberately in a human form to be in a place like this?

Everyone is full of questions.

“Did you see it?”

“Huh?”

“You saw me.”

“Ugh…”

To say that I haven’t seen it now is pure nonsense, so I said it honestly.

I don’t know if this is a good choice, but it’s better to tell the truth than tell an obvious lie.

“Yes….”

A rabbit holding her hood down and lowering her head.

Perhaps it was a secret he didn’t want to find out, his small body was trembling.

Then the rabbit glares at me with sharp eyes that are said to be similar to her dagger.

“If you saw my secret, you must die.”

“Calm down for a moment! I will never reveal a secret to anyone, so can you just let it go?”

“I can’t believe that lie.”

As if he still had no intention of listening to me, the rabbit threw a knife at me without hesitation.

Skilled posture, excellent throwing skills, and even unpredictable abilities. The rabbit’s knife aimed at my forehead without a moment to notice.

Though, fortunately, thanks to Tia causing a gust of wind in the entire space in advance, the knife is thrown without reaching it.

‘What kind of ability is that?!’

Though it failed to touch my body, it succeeded in chilling the liver.

The surprising fact is that the knife reached right in front of my eyes without any problems, even though it would have created wind from right in front of the rabbit and hindered the throwing.

I couldn’t even see the flying trail. It felt like a dagger teleported.

It felt like her body had suddenly disappeared and reappeared during the melee fight with the rabbit just now, but this dagger is the same.

I’m guessing it’s a space-related ability, but if so, what is an attack that ignores my evasion or defense?

Obviously, the future me blocked her attack. However, when I looked at myself a second later, I couldn’t stop it and was pouring out blood.

A rabbit’s ability to lightly ignore future foresight.

If the divine beasts that have fought so far were those who used their strong bodies as weapons, the rabbit was the exact opposite.

Ability-specialized Shinsoo who fights by making the most of their special abilities.

Even the skill to handle human weapons freely. It’s a completely unidentified mass.

“Let me ask you one question. Are you a Shinsoo?”

“… ….”

“Please answer this much! Wouldn’t it be nice to ask you a question before you die?”

“Yuu… ! Lord, are you going to die?!”

“Oh no! Maybe this is just a metaphor….”

Tia grabs me by the sleeve and starts to cry.

I really didn’t mean to die, but Tia’s innocence made it difficult for her to believe it straight away.

A mistake from my short thinking. As I was patting Tia to make amends, the rabbit threw a low word at me.

“Shinsu is right.”

“Ah… !”

I wondered if he was a human who signed a temporary contract with Shinsu, like me and Jack.

She has adapted to human society to the extent that she can easily handle not only her weapons but also mobile phones and other gadgets.

Rabbit ears… Considering it as a price due to the contract, it was a plausible story.

However, with the rabbit’s words, all of my hypotheses were wrong, and it turned out that the rabbit ears hidden under the hood had been present since birth.

“All right? Then stop dying now.”

“Mi, I’m sorry, but I really want to ask you just one more thing… !”

“I don’t listen anymore.”

I am overwhelmed by the spirit of the rabbit that starts to run at it with terrifying momentum. You cannot move your body freely.

Even if you can move, you will eventually be defeated by the rabbit’s ability.

At the moment of desperation, as the saying goes, a ray of hope in despair, I saw the only future in which I could survive.

So, please don’t let the rabbit’s ability ruin this future… !

“Oh, Assassin’s Creed!!”

The body of the running rabbit flinched and hesitated.

I just spit out a word that had absolutely nothing to do with the current situation, but it worked.

Then it only meant one thing, so this rabbit is a gamechanger.

“Your clothes, weapons, and even the mindset of assassination without witnesses were all borrowed from that game, right?”

“Oh, no.”

“Don’t be fooled. The fact that you stopped at just one game name is proof that you can’t even get away with it.”

“Ah… !”

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“…… Do you know about that game?”

“If you know it, it is a famous game that ordinary people know in their own way, but how can you not know it?”

“Then you like games… ?”

You finally asked for rice cakes…… !

The rabbit’s voice was still nonchalant, but you could see the rabbit’s eyes shining under the hood.

To be honest, when I first saw it, I was stunned.

The assassin who made people nervous was a small woman dressed in a cosplay, so how can you not be embarrassed?

But now I can fully understand why she is dressed like this.

There is no such thing as a great cause. It’s just that this rabbit was a gamer to the marrow, and he had no friends to talk about games with until now.

I don’t know why Shin-soo became a game-changer, but it was a godsend that I was able to erase my hostility for a while through the story of the game.

“I like you.”

“So, how far have you been in the AC series?”

“Yes… ?”

“I must have tried the first part, and since the second part is also a masterpiece, of course I did it! Did you know that part 3 was recently remastered?”

“Huh? Yes….”

“In Episode 4, the main character…… !”

Is that taciturn rabbit right? As soon as the game-themed conversation was established, she began spitting her words out to her rapid-fire cannon.

As if she couldn’t control her excitement, the rabbit jumped and jumped at her, telling her about her thoughts and then asking her what she thought.

For some reason, it is difficult to follow the conversation. It meant that the rabbit’s love for games was stronger than mine.

I’m done talking about coming here to assassinate you while cosplaying as a game character.

“Are there any other games you are playing?”

“Uh, that….”

“Easy!! Forest of divine beasts!!”

“Is it the forest of divine beasts? !! It’s also a pretty fun masterpiece.”

Soon, even Tia participates in the game conversation, and the surroundings become noisy.

To the point where I wonder if the atmosphere at the scene where everyone but us was massacred was right.

“If a god you don’t like is in town, it stays in bed…. Ah… !”

“Huh? What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

“Sorry, let’s talk about the rest of the story elsewhere.”

Before I could say why, I heard a buzz coming from the club stage.

I forgot about running away as I was spending time with the rabbit.

“Here! There are still guys left!!”

“Kill every single one of them! Make us pay dearly for hurting us!”

“Hey! Save one guy! Shouldn’t there be someone to blow the information on?”

It doesn’t look like they’re regular guests, it’s like they’re members of the terrorist organization that was managing this club.

I was planning to get rid of the owner and sneak out, but things got annoying.

“There is an emergency exit inside the staff room? Would it be all right to go out there and talk?”

“Yes. I’ll be there first.”

As soon as the agreement is over, the rabbit quickly runs forward.

In an instant, she reaches in front of the first terrorist who saw us and cuts the man’s throat with a dagger.

Then, the rabbit reached out to the man right behind him, pierced his chest, tore out his heart and blew it out.

After that, the rabbits quickly and accurately dealt with the terrorists in sight without hesitation.

‘It must be boring….’

When it comes to herbivores, the first thing that comes to mind is the rabbit.

It is an animal that is the main target of predators and is located at the bottom of the food chain.

Her intent to kill was cruel and sharp enough to be considered a rabbit.

To the extent that he was proud of himself for enduring against that max level rabbit.

“Tia, let’s go too.”

“Yes!”

Enjoy your impressions here. We decide to go out through the emergency exit before more people arrive.

By the way…….

‘As much as it’s an ally, it’s f*cking reassuring.’

An escape game that ends when you just jump over the body that the rabbit knocked down.

Once again, I salute the ability of rabbits.

***

Breaking off the relentless pursuit of the terrorists, we reached a deserted alleyway, and we sat side by side behind a cover and hid ourselves.

Terrorists are not the problem. If I put my mind to it, Tia and I can wipe it all out.

However, Gameduck Rabbit has sent notice that he wants to talk to you as soon as possible.

Reluctantly, he decided to hide in an alleyway until the surroundings calmed down.

“Then let’s talk again….”

“Oh, wait a minute!”

“Huh?”

“I’d love to talk about the game, but before that, can you tell me about you?”

“…… What is the meaning of that subject?”

“Yeah, I wondered if I could have a more enjoyable conversation if I knew what made you fall in love with games….”

“Well, then it can’t be helped.”

A rabbit who understands the word game lightly and tells each and every detail about himself.

If it’s related to the game, I feel like I’ll reveal any and all secrets.

Anyway, this is how the rabbit’s story began.

Rabbit was originally a divine beast who lived in the snowfields in the northern part of Mother Nature, and it is said that he lived a boring life every day.

Every day, he reverses and eats wild animals that mistook him for food.

The rabbit, whose daily routine was boring, went here and there, and then came across Korea by chance 20 years ago.

Of course, there was a separate boundary line, but there was a small gap that small animals could pass through, and it is said that rabbits entered the country through that gap.

At first, he was a rabbit who wanted to go back after watching a bit, but he was shocked by the culture of cooking made by humans and decided to settle down.

It is said that after changing into a human form, the rabbit tried hard to adapt to human society while hiding its ears.

“Five years ago, I found out about the existence of games after living only in human cuisine.”

“You found out a lot later than you thought?”

“Yes. I lost half of my native life.”

As usual, the rabbit who came out to the street to eat delicious food said he happened to witness a mysterious shop.

The identity of the store is a game store, where the rabbit got to taste the real pleasure of the game through the equipment displayed for them to experience.

After that, the rabbit, who became a regular at the game store, got to know many games and became an excellent way to enter the game market.

This was the anecdote of the Rabbit Gods.

“Amazing.”

Honestly, the rabbit god was so unusual that I wonder if there are all these cases.

A Shinsoo who enters human society voluntarily, not through a contract of companionship, and becomes fascinated by human culture and becomes a game duck….

It’s so absurd that I can’t even speak.

“So you bought those clothes and weapons too?”

“Weapons are made-to-order, clothes are handmade.”

“Dae, you are a great fan….”

“Yes. When I go to assassination work, I always wear it.”

“Then how did you get into the hitman business?”

“To make money.”

“Is that so….”

“I can’t help it, new games cost money.”

“No, wait! So, your motive for killing people is only to buy the game?!”

“Yes, because games are gods. I can kill anyone to welcome the new god.”

“Ha! hahahaha… ! This crazy…… !!”
