333 Hana to the Future (3)

What am I doing and what am I doing now?

To be a great gamer, you must always be aware of your goals and means. Well, by keeping this in mind, unnecessary waste of time can be reduced.

This is the starting point of an effective game life.

therefore… … .

clap-

I’m trying to put my tongue out, but I organize it in my head.

What is the goal I need to achieve from the standpoint of this community?

It ended in one sentence without thinking long.

The goal is to find out the identity of GM.

And the means… … .

‘Well, this would be the best.’

Investigatorry 雄獅子流.

The fourth formula 第4 formula, Possession 憑依.

Beyond method acting, it is a herbivore that allows the person to naturally continue the conversation as if possessed.

oh i just made it

“Shit, are you surprised?”

As I smiled like an old man, the white man’s eyes widened.

“Am I really old?”

His voice was full of joy.

But did you feel a sense of incongruity somewhere later?

His eyes seemed to have gotten even stronger, with the vigilance that wanted to fade a little.

“No, that’s why the height is different… … . So is the skin… … .”

Heh heh, you’re a newbie and have a lot of doubts. it’s gonna be big

Rather, I said with a happy smile, like a person willing to have such doubts.

“Isn’t that the same for you?”

As if teaching kindly to a young grandson.

At this, the man looked around his head as if he had realized something, and checked his own reflection in the glass window on the wall.

“Oh, so that’s the old man’s true face?”

“Yes.”

“But, why the mask… … .”

“Because I don’t want others to see what I’ve seen.”

“ah… … .”

Oh, what ah.

It was quite funny that he shook his head as if he understood that something had to happen, but I kept my composure.

That’s because I’m not Lee Han-soo right now.

“Huhu, how about this place?”

I decided to start with a light question and gather information step by step.

“Ah, yes… I don’t know yet. I don’t know how to do what the old man told me… … .”

what did you tell me?

I couldn’t figure out what he was talking about, so I took out the second set to stay still.

“… … .”

Like Biggie, who always allowed him to hit the minimum level, a bite came soon after.

“that… The realization you mentioned? Since it’s not easy… … .”

Oh, that’s right.

Fortunately, it was an area I knew well.

Because Ghost Busters was an essential skill to learn in order to be active in the community.

‘Originally, it was only in chat rooms or in the inner world. Thanks to him taking over the position of Master, he seems to be able to do it here as well.’

After interpreting the situation carefully, I naturally continued the conversation.

“Fufu, it’s natural that it’s difficult if it’s your first time. give me a little help Is there any food you would like to eat?”

“… Yes.”

“Close your eyes and picture it in your head. And you think it’s in your hands. Yeah, good job. Learning is fast.”

“Yes… … ?”

“Will you open your eyes?”

“Yes… uh, huh?”

The man who opened his eyes soon widened his eyes as he saw the hamburger in his hand.

And he took a big bite.

“… There is no taste.”

Oh, what?

I’m sorry, that feature was lost when you made the round table before you came… … .

‘There is no need to tell the cruel truth.’

“It’s inevitable, so don’t be discouraged.”

“Yes… … .”

The boy bowed his head as if he couldn’t hide his upset feeling while saying the words of agreement.

It wasn’t a feeling I couldn’t relate to.

When I first joined Ghostbusters, I couldn’t help but be disappointed when I ate a can of Coke in the refrigerator.

“Ah, over there.”

“Tell me.”

“But, what about the old man? Then he said he would never see me again… … .”

Judging from the nuances, it seems like I’m not asking because I’m suspicious, I’m just asking out of curiosity.

It wasn’t a very difficult question, so it was easy to answer.

“I am worried about you. I thought I should meet here at least once to help and leave.”

“Oh, I see… … !”

A man who believes without any doubt like a naive newbie.

As soon as I saw it, I wanted this.

It seems that trust has been gained to some extent… … .

Now, should I dig up new ones little by little?

“Don’t worry too much.”

I patted the man on the shoulder and spit out a blunt voice saying that I had no other intentions.

“If you have a talent for magic, you will quickly develop something like a realization.”

GM is a wizard.

It was certain that I had met him in person, but the reason why I purposely used the term ‘quality’ was simple.

Because it’s good to be careful about anything.

It was still a year ago, so maybe it was before I became a wizard.

“Ah, magic… That is why the old man chose me.”

Judging by the way you speak, it looks like you’ve already taken the wizard route.

“Still, there are some things that I do not understand. There must have been people who were more skilled than a half wizard like me, so why did they… … .”

“Don’t belittle yourself. How many of those who have been brought into this world have established themselves as quickly as you? You will be a great person.”

As soon as he started praising his ignorance, the man turned his gaze away as if embarrassed.

At this point, I tried one more time to dig.

“By the way, what was your grade?”

“It’s 6th grade.”

what?

I was genuinely surprised.

No, it must have been less than a year since I was called.

But it’s 6th grade… … ? Is this possible in time?

A car with such doubts.

“Luckily, my grades are high, but I still can’t use magic properly, so I live in tension every day… … .”

The man muttered in a self-helpful voice.

Thanks, the question has been solved.

Combining the words ‘half wizard’ and ‘I can’t use magic’ when describing myself earlier… … .

‘It means that the possessed character was already a wizard!’

There are statistics that the possessed body is fixed at the age of 20.

However, unlike explorers, who can enter the labyrinth from an adult, wizards can change jobs from an early age.

‘Ha, I started from the bare barbarian.’

Jealousy towards others has arisen for a long time, while the information that needs to be remembered is engraved in my head.

There are cases like this among demons.

“I… Why?”

“Fufu, it’s no big deal. It’s just that you’re proud of yourself.”

“… Don’t do that too. I’m ashamed… … .”

“Are you ashamed? How shameful it is to work tirelessly, knowing your shortcomings?”

He looked at me with eyes that were moved by my words warm enough to make a thorn in his mouth.

“Old man… … !”

Okay, this is almost like a groggy state when you play a game.

I asked quietly.

“by the way… What is your name?”

I guess it’s time to listen slowly.

***

The true identity of GM, which had only been rumored to be rife.

I knew he was a wizard, but I didn’t know his name or face.

So, somehow, I wanted to take this opportunity to dig up a new image.

but… … .

“Yes? do you mean name? That’s why… … .”

He tilts his head at my question.

In the eyes of the guy who turned his gaze back to me, the doubts he had barely erased while building trust were showing signs of turning around.

‘Zeep, I don’t want to do it this way.’

Having finished my judgment quickly, I took out a plan B.

In the first place, Plan A was just thrown for floating.

“Chuckle, I asked your real name.”

“Bo, what’s your real name?”

When I said it like a joke, the guy panicked and then exhaled as if relieved.

“ah… For some reason, I suddenly wondered why you were asking for my name. There is no reason to ask such a question.”

“Fufu, I just asked a question out of curiosity, so if it’s hard to say, you don’t have to ask.”

“no. What does it mean to hide your real name? My name is Oliver Wiseman.”

“It’s a good-sounding name, I guess… … .”

Laughing like an old man, the name ‘Oliver Wiseman’ was passed on to one ear.

What does the guy mean like he said before?

A real name that is useless here.

“Anyway, old man.”

“yes?”

“Can I ask you for some advice?”

“Of course. Let’s do it.”

“The old man sees me and runs this place well and is an evil spirit… No, didn’t you tell me to decorate it as a place where players can interact?”

Uh, did you?

“It did?”

“I think I can make the pills by myself if I study a little more, but I don’t have a good sense of the other parts. Can I get some advice on this?”

“Hmm… … .”

“I have no idea how to decorate this place.”

if that’s the case

After thinking about it for a while, I told the GM a story that would be of great advice.

There was nothing difficult about making a decision.

Are you wondering how to run this community?

It is enough to simply explain what you saw from the future as it is.

“To the extent that the world classifies you as evil spirits, you will be reluctant to enter this place prematurely. I think we need a system that can maintain complete anonymity.”

“ah! I have an idea for that part! I think we should make it like an internet community… … .”

“Internet community?”

“sorry. It must have been unfamiliar to the old man.”

GM explained the community in an easy-to-understand manner as if it were telling the elderly about modern culture.

For me, having lived with the Internet all my life, the content was useless.

However, thanks to you, I learned one more thing.

‘Yeah, Auril Gabis didn’t introduce himself properly.’

From what I’ve said, it seems that they only introduced him as an evil spirit from another realm.

Anyway, that’s not what’s important.

“Hey, that sounds like a pretty good idea. But if possible, it would be better to use the ‘computer’ I mentioned earlier. It’s something that fits the form of a community, wouldn’t it be faster to adapt to something familiar?”

“Five… You are right!”

“I would like to create an exchange or something so that we can benefit each other. If real things can be exchanged without revealing their identity, it will be a very attractive place for them.”

“Wow… … .”

“And when you send the pills, it might be a good idea to write a letter in your native language and explain where it is.”

“Awesome… … ! It’s amazing that you understand the concepts of computers and communities right away, but how did you come up with this idea? … !”

I explained to the GM about the final form of Ghostbusters for a long time as if giving advice, and the GM spit out a sigh of relief each time it was followed.

But did you think of this later?

“It sounds like it would be an amazing place. But how do you make it?”

GM asked, tilting his head.

I had nothing to say about this.

How is that possible?

‘The engineer should take care of that.’

How do I know something like that?

I said firmly.

“You can do it.”

“Yes… … ?”

“It’s still inexperienced like the realization, but won’t you get used to it? I trust you.”

“Ah, yes… … .”

GM answered insincerely, whether or not he was confident, but it wasn’t something I was concerned about.

Because it will be like that in the future anyway.

I ended the feasibility argument and started working on the design again.

“Oh, and one more thing. Why don’t you write down something like an entry password at the end of your letter?”

“Do you mean the password?”

“Yeah, if you use a word that insults the royal family as a password, wouldn’t it be possible to filter out the three kings to some extent?”

In fact, the PS later served as a password.

Of course, it didn’t mean much.

After all, ‘Soul Queens’ had to come and verify the password and then grant permission to sign up for membership anyway.

Well, it’s me who is very savvy, I figured out the trick hidden in the letter and entered the password before the woman came… … .

‘Oh, but come to think of it, the abbreviation for password is PW, not PS?’

But why did that happen?

Was it just like catching a mouse while walking backwards?

I suddenly thought that there might be another way to crack the password, but it was not a problem to think about now.

“Elderly, wherever you feel uncomfortable… … ?”

“Hmm, no. How far have I been talking?”

“You were talking about how to distinguish the three pieces.”

“Oh, it was.”

After that, I gave information such as the contents to be included in the letter, individual private spaces, and measures to filter and deport them.

‘Guidelines should be enough.’

As I conveyed it verbally, I had no choice but to miss the details, but I wasn’t really worried.

Back in the past, where has this happened once or twice?

Whether you say that or not, this mansion will gradually transform into the type of community I know.

‘Well, maybe this was my role left in this era… … ?’

I suddenly thought of that, and I was worried that as soon as I left the community, I might return to my original time zone.

However… … .

‘Ah, no. Could it be?’

I tried to relieve my worries.

That was the time.

“But, old man… … .”

The GM cautiously spoke to me.

“I’m not sure, but I think I know who the last person who spoke at that time was.”

“… … .”

“that… After hearing that I cleared 15x, didn’t I say that someday users who have cleared the original difficulty will come here? He said he would make every player’s dream come true.”

Oh, that’s what I was talking about.

My body flinched as I understood the context of the conversation.

‘I didn’t just pass it on to anyone after hearing about the future.’

Now that I see it, I have been given the role of a monitoring station.

Well, the GM himself may not know.

‘But what else are you talking about? Are you talking about the gates of the abyss?’

Well, maybe the old man was motivating the GM and said something. In a way that you can return only when I appear.

Anyway, I’ll think about this later.

“Is that so?”

After adding Chuimsae, the GM continued to speak.

“After that, I’ve been thinking about it, and there are people who can guess. Stone Iben was a very famous person in the community… He was also a person I admired very much. Even after breaking the 15x mode, his writing helped me a lot.”

Even if I didn’t tell you who it was, I knew it.

But now I’m disguised as Auril Gavis, so I asked as if I was expecting something.

“Who is that?”

“She is the one who used the nickname Elf Noona.”

“Huh?”

“I’m not sure, but he’s the only one who can break the original difficulty in my opinion. And didn’t you say last time that the user would be a ‘barbarian’? Coincidentally, it is said that he also mainly raised ‘Shield Baba’.”

“is it… … . I see. But it’s not certain, so I think it’s best to keep the possibilities open as much as possible. Maybe he’s not a ‘barbarian’.”

I put hints as naturally as possible to avoid confusion in tracking.

But was this a mistake?

“Yes? Could it not be?”

Uh, why are you having a seizure all of a sudden?

I was embarrassed, but I laughed softly.

“Heh heh, I meant that there was a possibility.”

“Is that so… … .”

The GM seemed to be convinced, but his eyes didn’t.

“Old man.”

“Tell me.”

“Can I be excused and ask one more question?”

Soon, GM asked, staring intently into my eyes, the only one exposed from the mask.

“What is my name?”

Ehh, I’m getting annoyed.

***

If you think about it, you may have seen it too easy.

Even if he is a newbie, he has been running a community for over 20 years and has completely hidden his identity.

Although his instantaneous judgment may be lower than in his prime, his intelligence will never be lower.

Novel from https://readwn.com

My appearance was different from the outside.

Still wearing a mask.

And asked for his name.

All of them gave valid reasons to convince them, but the sense of incongruity would have piled up.

No matter how much I play an old man, I can’t do it perfectly. You must have constantly felt that something was missing during the conversation.

It must have acted as a decisive mistake.

“… Why are you silent?”

I laughed bitterly at his question.

It was not the time when I was thinking or the cause of the situation.

“If you don’t know my name—”

I cut the GM’s words and quickly opened my mouth.

“Zerkef Elmen Mackinder.”

It wasn’t like I was just giving out a name in a hurry.

[There are three people, can you tell me all?]

The name of one of the three wizards I heard from Lee Baek-ho long ago, suspected of being a GM.

So, to summarize… … .

‘The probability is 33.3%.’

Enough possibilities to try before giving up.

If so, what would be the result?

“… … .”

There was a moment of silence.

and… … .

“you… Who are you?”

The GM’s voice began to show hostility.
